After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 90
Jiang Zhengshu knew that his request was a little unreasonable, but he hated those people physiologically, so disgusted that he couldn't bear the thought of the students he had worked so hard to have in contact with those people.

Shen Jingcheng quietly looked at the firmness in Jiang Zhengshu's eyes, smiled for a long time, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I, Shen Jingcheng, swear that I will never have any contact with the Jiang clan in Zhongzhou in this life."

Seeing him so happy, Jiang Zhengshu couldn't help being taken aback.

Does he know where all the members of the Jiang clan in Zhongzhou Prefecture are officials?Did you agree so easily?

Shen Jingcheng looked at the shocked Jiang Zhengshu, and said truthfully: "Actually, I didn't take the merit test to become an official, I just wanted an identity, and with merit I can see officials without kneeling, and sue without conviction, that's enough. "

Jiang Zhengshu was stunned. This kid studied so hard all these years, not to be an official, but to have such an identity?
"Sir." Seeing Jiang Zhengshu's doubts, Shen Jingcheng explained to him unhurriedly: "You should also know that the person sitting in that position is very harsh on officials. , but the imperial court doesn’t transfer money, and I really don’t like it in many ways. Even if I am admitted to fame, if I have an official position, I guess I will start from the bottom. , Now that guy is going crazy to pave the way for his grandson, why should I go through that torture?"

Jiang Zhengshu was taken aback when he heard this.

Yes, the current one is certainly good to the common people, but he is very harsh on the officials and landlords and gentry. He will be killed if he is only corrupted for ten taels. So far, hundreds of low-level officials have been killed. Panicked, if you want to do things without capital, if you want capital, you have to die. This has led to the fact that most of today's officials are happy with the situation.Those who are capable and have a family can still go up, while those ordinary peasants who have passed the imperial examination and become officials, just stay in that position honestly, do not do anything or cause trouble, and there are very few who really want to do things and can do things.

Seeing that he understood, Shen Jingcheng said comfortingly: "So you can rest assured, sir, if I am not in the officialdom, naturally I will not have any contact with the Jiang family."

Jiang Zhengshu was heartbroken by what he said, and then he began to talk to him about the points that should be paid attention to during the scientific examination.

Shen Jingcheng listened very seriously, he should leave tomorrow, and he doesn't know how many days it will take to listen to the old man's babbling, and Gu Jin can't follow this time because the month is already very old, leaving such an old woman at home , he is very reluctant.

But fortunately, that kid Fu Yu reached out, and he felt more at ease with that kid at home.

The next day, Shen Jingcheng walked out of the house reluctantly, got on his horse, looked at Gu Jin and the others standing at the door to see him off, and then rode the horse into the distance with a 'drive' sound.

Because the route to the capital was built last year, Shen Jingcheng didn't need to bring any luggage, and he could eat and drink at the end of his stay. After resting, he changed to another horse and continued towards the capital. In this way, his speed was much faster than before, day and night. , He arrived in the capital three days later.

At this time, many candidates from various places have gathered in the capital to take part in the imperial examination, and the bustling streets are completely gone from the depression of last year.

Shen Jingcheng had a good night's rest in the courtyard of the capital, and went out to inquire about the exact location of Chun Wei. The Four Treasures of the Study were prepared by Gu Jin a long time ago, and he also brought him some dried candied fruit. He was afraid that the food bought here would not be clean. Then I broke my stomach when I ate during the exam.

After everything was arranged, a few students from Qingshan County came to visit Shen Jingcheng together, because Shen Jingcheng had told them that if they had nowhere to rest when they were on their way to Beijing, they could go directly to Shen's shop to rest. Come to visit him.

Don't look at it as just a place to rest, it may save a lot of trouble along the way.

Shen Jingcheng here warmly entertained a few people. In this world where official circles have to form a group, it is rare for a county to produce a few people. In addition, in a foreign country, there will always be uncertainty. It is normal to form a group matter.

After the reunion, the few returned to the inn where they stayed. For the next few days, Shen Jingcheng didn't go out again, and stayed in the yard with peace of mind to review what he had learned and what Jiang Zhengshu told him.

Five days later, the Spring Festival officially started, Shen Jingcheng was lucky, he was not assigned a position near the hut, after three nine-day exams, he finally returned to the courtyard of the capital with blue eyes, and after sleeping with all his heart, he just waited for the results to be announced day.

Shen Jingcheng in the capital city was waiting for the announcement step by step, but Gu Xiu from Shenjia Village encountered an incident here.

That evening, when Gu Xiu closed the shop and went home, she saw a shadowy figure lying quietly on the west street from a distance. She saw that there were still many people on the street, and walked over boldly.

This is a beggar in ragged clothes, with filthy hair covering his face, he is not very thin, but he is definitely not fleshy either.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu went home and took a few pancakes, delivered them to the beggar, then turned and walked back without saying a word.

Over the years, Gu Xiu has seen countless beggars and refugees. She has done this kind of thing more than once, and she has long been accustomed to it, and gradually lost her vigilance.

Feeling what was in his hand, the beggar slowly opened his eyes, and saw a slim woman leaving with her back to him. At the same time, he heard someone asking the woman.

"Girl, what did you do just now?"

"There was a beggar, I gave him two pancakes."

The woman's voice was extremely clear, and her unhurried tone carried an inexplicably reassuring temperature.

The beggar squeezed the pancake in his hand, looked at the darkening sky, and smiled wryly.

The woman probably didn't know that he was lying here not hungry, but injured after being chased and killed. Even if she kindly gave him pancakes, he didn't have the strength to raise his hand to eat them now.

On the other side, Fu Yu smiled slightly when he heard Gu Xiu's words, watched her go back to the courtyard of the Shen family behind the street, and walked slowly towards the beggar.

However, just a dozen steps away from the beggar, a gust of night wind blew by, and Fu Yu faintly smelled a bloody smell mixed with the smell of medicine.

Fu Yu immediately stopped in his tracks. He had been in the Hou's Mansion for many years, and he didn't know anything else, but he was all too familiar with the smell of blood and saber wound medicine.

Fu Yu squinted his eyes and didn't approach the beggar again, but went back to the shop.

It wasn't until night that all the shops on the street were closed that he took a piece of gravel in the corner and appeared not far from the beggar again.

The beggar faintly sensed that someone was approaching, and just as he was about to open his eyes, he felt a pain in his temple, and he lost consciousness immediately.
