I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 198 Can't Get a Foothold
"Brother, please let me know." Lu Biao grinned in pain. If he hadn't been worried that Liu Baihu would blame him for not doing things well, Lu Biao would not have come to Nanhu Lane in a hurry after leaving the hospital.

"Wait." As a servant of the Liu family, not to mention Lu Biao as a ruffian, even if the servant of the yamen came, they would not take it seriously.

After a while.

The bedroom was filled with the smell of medicine, but fortunately the window was open and two ice basins were placed, so it didn't look stuffy.

Under Mrs. Die's service, Liu Baihu half leaned on the bed, and his left leg was broken twice, which really made him suffer a lot. Lu Biao knelt on the ground with a thump in fright.

"Master Liu, it's all small things that are bad for you, and the small ones should be damned!" Bang Bang kowtowed his head and begged for mercy, Lu Biao's body trembled, fearing that he would anger Liu Baihu and his life would be lost.

"Okay!" An angry shout sounded, and Liu Baihu, who was too noisy, frowned and asked impatiently, "What's going on?"

Looking up, Lu Biao, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, suppressed his panic and quickly told about Zhu Changyun, "My lord, I didn't expect that the coachman was a trainer, and I brought eight people there, but they were all knocked down by the coachman." , and there are still a few people who can't get up in the hospital."

"Are you talking about a little girl?" Liu Baihu's eyes suddenly darkened, and he squeezed his words out between his teeth, "Is it a little girl of seven or eight years old, with fair complexion and big eyes?"

Lu Biao also knew that Liu Baihu's leg was broken by his mount, but after all, Lu Biao was just a local ruffian and couldn't find out the specifics, so he nodded in astonishment, "Yes, that little girl is also cruel, Wang monkey's……"

After a pause, Lu Biao thought of Monkey King crying in pain in the hospital. Before he came, he took a look and found that the monkey's descendants were useless. ?
"Speak clearly!" Liu Baihu shouted angrily, and he had already guessed that the little girl Lu Biao was talking about was Zhan Feiyu. Went to the other courtyard of the Qi family to take revenge.

"The monkey's lifeblood is injured, and the doctor said it's useless." Lu Biao hurriedly said, who would have thought that Yuxue's cute little girl would fight, and she would be so ruthless, it's clear that they, the rascals, used the tricks best at.

"What?" Madam Die, who was standing by the bed fanning Liu Baihu, exclaimed in surprise, and subconsciously looked at Liu Baihu's broken left leg. Fortunately, the adult did not hurt his life, and she still wanted to have a baby .

Rao Liu Baihu was also stunned for a moment, Meng Zhizhou came here before, and Liu Baihu also knew the identity of Zhan Feiyu, the disciple of Bachelor Gu, the chief of the Nanxuan Mansion's trial case, and the odd man who fought with the eldest prince's family, Chen Jiadou. The tiger quite retreated unscathed.

No matter how much Liu Baihu hated him, he could only hold back. Fortunately, he broke his leg, even if he thought of a way to get revenge, he could only live in hibernation and raise the broken leg first.

An eerie silence spread in the bedroom, and Lu Biao, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head and dared not even breathe.

After a while, Liu Baihu with a gloomy face said again: "The scholar surnamed Zhu has left?"

"Yes, the Zhu Changyun brothers got into the carriage. The younger one was too injured to get up, and I don't know where they went, but don't worry, my lord, the younger one will be checked immediately." He was kicked twice on the leg, and the reason why he didn't get up was because he was afraid of being beaten again unilaterally by He Sheng.

And the wound on his face was caused by Lu Biao's subordinates. It looked very bruised and swollen, but it was actually a flesh wound. At least let Liu Baihu know that he did his best.

When Lu Biao came out of the side door of Liu's mansion, he couldn't help but let out a long breath of foul air. Just as he was about to go home and lie down, he froze as if he had seen a ghost, "You...why are you here... ?”

Bringing Hong'er, who bulged from eating too much, to digest food, Zhan Feiyu looked at Lu Biao, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and raised his brisk voice slightly, "If Liu Baihu knew that your face was made by yourself, how would you feel?" ?”

"Shut up!" Lu Biao yelled as if his tail had been stepped on, with a pig's face on his face, as if he was about to chop Zhan Feiyu alive.

Liu Baihu was a military officer with a bad temper, and he would beat people with a whip if he disagreed with him. If a young man like Lu Biao dared to deceive him, he would have half his life if he didn't die.

Hong'er had a bulging belly, and the hands holding the bamboo pole were trembling with fear, but a ray of light burst out from her wide-eyed eyes.

"Hong'er, don't be afraid." Zhan Feiyu hurriedly patted Hong'er's little head.

Probably due to a serious illness and poor food, the little guy has withered and yellow hair but is limp, and feels easy to touch, and Hong'er also feels Zhan Feiyu's closeness, so he rubs his head against Zhan Feiyu's palm on his toes .

Residents in Nanhu Lane are either rich or expensive. Although this alley is the back door and side door of each mansion, there are lanterns hanging at the door, so it doesn’t look dim. It’s just that the servants of each household are busy during meal time, so the empty alley There is no one else here.

Evil comes from the guts!Lu Biao touched his sore cheek, with a vicious and ferocious light in his eyes, "Little girl, don't blame Master Lu for being cruel, who made you want to bump into me!"

Lu Biao smiled like a ghost, and he was worried about what he would do if he offended Liu Baihu. No, the opportunity to redeem his sins came. Although the tragic situation of Wang Houzi made people feel horrified, facing the two poor children, Lu Biao Biao, a gangster, is not afraid.

Seemingly oblivious to Lu Biao's malice, Zhan Feiyu looked at the tense Hong'er, "Hong'er, lend me the bamboo pole and see how she beats the dog in the water."

Even though he was afraid, Hong'er nodded, handed the bamboo pole to Zhan Feiyu, and then stared at Lu Biao with round eyes, with fierce breasts.

With the bamboo pole in hand, I have the world!
The pre-emptive Zhan Feiyu slammed a bamboo pole directly into Lu Biao's face, and with a slap, it was enough to know how strong Zhan Feiyu was and how painful Lu Biao was.

Hong'er's eyes lit up for a moment, and her skinny hands were clenched into small fists.

In the dim light of the lantern, Zhan Feiyu, who was waving a bamboo pole, was so heroic.

Before Lu Biao could get close, he was whipped by Zhan Feiyu and couldn't get up. He lay on the ground holding his headache and screaming, but he couldn't protect his face and couldn't protect his head.

"Hong'er, whoever bullies you in the future, beat him with a bamboo pole!" Zhan Feiyu solemnly handed the bamboo pole into Hong'er's hands.

As for Lu Biao, he would lie on the ground like a dead dog, without even the strength to cry out in pain, and would twitch from time to time, letting people know that he still had a breath.

The little guy was too thin, with a thin body and a thin neck, and Lin Lin's head was extraordinarily large. He would nod vigorously, making people worry that his head would fall off his neck.

"Sister." Holding the bamboo pole, Hong'er looked at Lu Biao on the ground, was silent for a while, then let out a cry, and rushed over holding the bamboo pole.

Just when Zhan Feiyu thought that Hong'er was going to hit Lu Biao with the bamboo pole a few times, the little guy suddenly stopped, holding the bamboo pole tightly with both hands, and then jumped up suddenly.

Put your feet together and land on target!
And Lu Biao, who was lying on the ground, screamed like a pig butcher, and his body moved a few times in pain, completely silent.

Zhan Feiyu was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the little guy who ran back with a bamboo pole in his arms, a wisp of yellow hair swaying in the evening wind.

The two guards who secretly protected Zhan Feiyu tightened their legs subconsciously, feeling an inexplicable pain in their eggs...

Looking at the little guy who was looking up and begging for praise, Zhan Feiyu, who had no face to see Jiangdong's elders, finally recovered his voice, "Hong'er, we're going back."

The little guy nodded vigorously, still holding the bamboo pole with both hands, and followed Zhan Feiyu step by step, just like a little tail.

……

The crisp sound of reading books broke the silence of the morning.

Qi Heng, who got up early, paused, looked at Zhan Feiyu who was sitting in the garden reciting, and then looked at Honger who was sitting next to her holding a bamboo pole, feeling inexplicably that his status was not guaranteed, obviously Xiaoyu's best friend was himself .

Glancing at Hong'er who was stunned, Qi Heng walked with a figure of eight steps, holding the air of a little boy, "Xiaoyu, you are still reading "Zhuangzi", I just don't understand a sentence, Xiaoyu, can you explain it to me?" Is it? If you understand one, you can accomplish everything, and if you have no experience, you can conquer ghosts and gods. What's the explanation for this sentence?"

Zhan Feiyu didn't notice Qi Heng's sour thoughts. She had studied "Zhuangzi", so explaining the meaning was not a problem for her. Three, three give birth to all things."

"Well, I understand." Qi Heng nodded. Although he has read "Zhuangzi", he is not proficient, just read it.

Mingsan once studied "Zhuangzi", so with the teaching of his junior master Mingsan, Qi Heng also knows a little bit.

Hong'er was already in a daze, but now his eyes were even more dull, and he didn't understand what Zhan Feiyu and Qi Heng were talking about at all, but this didn't affect his admiration for Zhan Feiyu in the slightest.

Looking at Hong'er with mosquito-repellent eyes, Zhan Feiyu patted the little guy's head, and continued to explain Qi Heng's doubts, "Tao or one, that is, mastering the laws of nature, understanding the operation of Tao, and doing nothing. All things are natural, and all things are self-contained. Even if you do nothing, everything will be cured."

"The so-called Wuxin: Empty heart. Don't care about gains and losses, keep simplicity and keep one, then ghosts and gods will have to surrender. That is to say, those who have attained the Tao can easily master all things with one..." After Zhan Feiyu finished speaking, he found that there was another There is an extra pair of mosquito-repellent incense eyes.

"Little fish, don't pay attention to this little fat man who is so ambitious!" Ming San glared angrily at Qi Heng, who was listening in a cloud of mist, raised his hand and slapped him on the head, and reprimanded: "I haven't read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly. I just want to learn "Zhuangzi", do you understand?"

"I..." Qi Heng raised his head in disbelief, but when he met Shang Mingsan's fierce eyes, he immediately faltered.

Seeing Qi Heng being beaten, Hong'er pursed his lips and smiled, shaking the bamboo pole in his hand, the little guy was obviously in a good mood.

Ming San looked at the skinny and disfigured Hong'er with some distress, "Look, Hong'er is laughing at you."

Qi Heng blushed and stood up, "I'll go back and read "Shangshu""

Looking at Qi Heng who was running away, Ming San shook his head, and then talked about business with Zhan Feiyu, "Are you going to Wei Daru's today?"

"Well, for a total of ten days, I asked the servants of the Wei family. There is a literate book boy on each floor of the Wushu Building. They must know what books Wei Daru has. I will ask them to help Copy it." Zhan Feiyu also thought about asking Mingsan to help.

It's a pity that although Wei Daru had a relationship with Chief Ming Shan for a few times, he didn't show any face at all, and only allowed Zhan Feiyu to enter Wushulou, so the task of finding and copying books could only be left to her.

"I have already written a letter back to Nanxuan. Qingya Academy also has some original original copies. If there are some books that are too late to copy, you can use these isolated copies to talk to Wei Daru. Maybe you can spare a few days." Ming San thought about Wei Daru For the love of books, if you encounter an orphan copy, you will definitely want to collect it, even if it is a manuscript, so it can be regarded as an equivalent exchange.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, "Okay, I'll go there in a while, maybe Liu Baihu's place won't let it go, I'll leave Asheng here."

"Don't worry, with the name of Bachelor Gu, those people dare not mess around." Ming San smiled a little coldly.

But if there is no Gu Xueshi, maybe a charge of torturing and killing military horses will be charged, and Xiaoyu will already be in prison, even if she is the leader of the Nanxuan Mansion trial.

Half an hour later, at the gate of the other courtyard, Zhan Feiyu got into the carriage.

Hong'er held the bamboo pole in his left hand, and the shaft of the carriage with his right hand, and tried hard to climb up, but the little guy was short and could only touch the shaft with his feet, so it was absolutely impossible for him to climb up the carriage.

"Hong'er, don't mess around!" Zhu Changyun looked at Zhan Feiyu apologetically, and hurriedly hugged Hong'er, but met his blank eyes, and softened his tone, "Hong'er follows elder brother, and elder brother will read to you. "

The little guy didn't seem to hear it, and didn't seem to understand it. Zhu Changyun held him in his arms, but his body rushed towards the carriage, stubbornly wanting to get on the carriage.

Zhu Changyun had no choice but to intensify his strength. Hong'er, who was being carried, seemed anxious. He looked helplessly at Zhan Feiyu on the carriage, and his body struggled violently.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the stunned little guy, and couldn't help but said, "Brother Zhu, let Hong'er get into the carriage."

"Hong'er is very obedient, and he won't make any noise when he goes to Wei's house." Ming San has seen the little guy's clingy skills. With that collapsed expression, Ming San laughed unkindly.

After being put on the carriage, Hong'er swung the bamboo pole across and quickly got in.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Changyun was inexplicably sad. Before he was stupefied by the fire, Hong'er was the most attached to his big brother, and then he was just like a wooden man in a daze.

Seeing Hong'er sticking to Zhan Feiyu now, Zhu Changyun should be happy, but his heart is filled with sour water. This is his younger brother. Three months after he was born, he was the younger brother who he raised with shit and urine. Run away with someone.

……

Qi Mansion.

Qi Tongzhi came back in a hurry within half an hour after leaving the house, and his face was extremely ugly, which made the servants in the study lighten their steps.

Mr. Qi had delegated power a few years ago, the property of the Qi family was handed over to Mr. Qi Er, and all the connections and resources on the surface were given to Mr. Qi Tongzhi.

As for the three grandchildren, the eldest son of Qi and the third son are still studying, one is in a government school and the other is in a private school. As for the second son of Qi, he is following the second master to manage the Qi family's business.

So at this moment, only Mr. Qi came to the study.

"Father, Liu Baihu's words are clearly intended to vent his hatred against Qi Heng." Qi Tongzhi went outside the yamen, and Zhang Tongpan passed a few words on Liu Baihu's behalf. Although the words were cryptic, the hidden meaning was very clear.

Old Master Qi's face was solemn, and he fiddled with the tea leaves in the cup with the tea cover in his hand. The Qi family is also a prominent family in Fengzhou, and this is the first time that such a slap in the face has happened.

Qi Tongzhi frowned, suppressing his anger, but there was nothing he could do. As Fengzhou Tongzhi, his official position was just below Meng Zhizhou's. Moreover, he was backed by the Qi family, so he was also an undeniable figure in Fengzhou.

But now he is being forced to hand over the children of the Qi family. Regardless of whether Qi Tongzhi, the nephew of Qi Heng, has feelings for him or not, the Qi family will lose face if the news spreads. Even the children of the family cannot protect them. state foothold?
"Eat persimmons and pick the soft ones. It's been like this since ancient times." Mr. Qi said slowly, with no expression change on his wrinkled face, "Even the imperial merchant Liu's family dare not touch Zhan Feiyu, but Liu Baihu wants Venting hatred naturally picked on our Qi family."

No matter how domineering Liu Baihu was, he did not dare to compare with the Chen family. Chen Xuezheng suffered a lot from Zhan Feiyu, so Liu Baihu naturally did not dare to be presumptuous, otherwise Zhan Feiyu would not have left Fengzhou with all his hands and feet. When the yamen came out, it was Meng Zhizhou who personally sent people out.

"Can Qi Heng?" Thinking of Liu Baihu's habit, Qi Tongzhi's face became even more ugly.

Knowing Gui Zhi before, even if he disagreed, Qi Tongzhi never thought of intervening in the past, why offended Liu Baihu for a few children he didn't know, who would have thought that the Qi family would be forced into this dilemma now.
