Raid

Chapter 85
Rong Zhi was seriously injured because of Li Shengxi, and Li Shengxi should also come to visit because of emotion and reason. When the situation outside stabilized and the Shence Army had wiped out the bandits quickly, Li Shengxi would come to visit.

Because of serious injuries, Rong Zhi moved several times in a row, but he didn't expect to go around and move to Xishi.

Since it was a visit, it was impossible to come empty-handed. After Li Shengxi ordered someone to make something, he passed by Yuanji Restaurant in West Market, and then sent someone to buy some special food.

Yuan Ji's cakes are very delicious. Among the people around Li Shengxi, Yingxiao eats this cake the most.

Liu Jin went to buy it in person, and after she confessed to the owner of the shop, she waited from the side.

After a while, a young man walked up beside him. He also wanted a few snacks. After ordering, he also waited from the side, but his waiting was different from Liu Jin.

He was inquiring about something carefully with others, Liu Jin lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but listen carefully, it seemed that it was a trivial matter of daily necessities - the scholar was inquiring about prices.

"Why is the price so high?" The scholar seemed puzzled.

Seeing his rich clothes, the clerk couldn't help but sigh, "Young Lord, you can tell at a glance that he came from a wealthy family and has no experience in the world. The world is difficult now, and the ones in our capital are better, after all, they are under the feet of the emperor. But you If you go to a more remote place, the price is not to say that it is a bucket, even a tael may not be able to buy it. These days are getting more difficult every day, it is difficult."

The scholar frowned, worried and puzzled on his face, why did this happen?Just as he was about to say something more, a man who looked like a scholar suddenly walked beside him, and the two seemed to know each other.

The scholar looked at Zhan Qirui in surprise, "Brother Zhan, I haven't seen you for a long time. A few days ago there was a debate in the Chansi Temple, why didn't I see you?"

Zhan Qirui restrained his expression, "Enke is coming soon, and Zhan is busy reviewing books, so he didn't come out."

"Brother Zhan is being modest, who is the champion of Jinke, brother Zhan?" the scholar complimented.

Zhan Qirui is extremely modest, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

"Just now I saw brother Zhan having a very happy conversation with this guy, what are you talking about?" the scholar asked casually.

Speaking of this, Zhan Qirui's expression was slightly condensed, "I just chatted casually and asked him about his business. Now that the time is not good, these people are not living well. The price of food has been increasing year by year, and the people in some places may not be able to eat it. Let's eat."

"Is that so?" The scholar looked surprised. Although his background was not as prominent as Zhan Qirui's, he was not an ordinary person either.Dressed in dandyism, eating all kinds of delicacies, he doesn't know much about people's livelihood and civil affairs.

Zhan Qirui nodded.

"The world is difficult." The scholar casually sighed, and then said, "Why did Brother Zhan ask this now? Is it because of that thief?"

The "thief" he mentioned naturally refers to Rong Zhi.

Zhan Qirui's expression showed a trace of discomfort, "Rong Zhi is really disgusting for being a thief, but there are some merits in this man's words. Although we are scholars, in addition to reading sage books, we should also pay more attention to people's livelihood. Moreover, the current situation It is not optimistic, maybe the exam questions in the future will be related to people's livelihood."

When he said the last sentence, he added a bit of a joke, adding a bit of lightness to this heavy topic.

He doesn't like Rong Zhi, his arrogance destined him to hate this person, but the facts tell him that Rong Zhi is not useless.At least in some respects, Rong Zhi is far better than him.Therefore, when Rong Zhi was mentioned, he couldn't help feeling a little awkward in his heart, so he wanted to change the subject.

The scholar also smiled when he heard the words, "I thought brother Zhan was determined to win? I was so uneasy. With Brother Zhan's family background and talent, why not be named on the gold list, Jinshi background, it's just a matter of ranking. Besides, Brother Zhan, you are so good at 'choosing the good one and following it', you can even take advantage of that thief Rong Zhi, so who else can match you?"

Zhan Qirui smiled slightly and didn't say much.

The scholar said again: "As for the exam questions this time, Wang thinks that it may be related to people's livelihood, but it may not necessarily involve merchants..."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, Zhan Qirui was puzzled, and was about to say something, but someone took the first step.

"You are so arrogant, you don't know how much you are, so you dare to criticize the court officials at will? Don't you want your own tongue?" The two of them were interrupted loudly when they came in armor. , apparently a certain general.

After receiving the food box from the clerk, Liu Jin, who was just about to leave, couldn't help but stop when he saw this.Although she didn't recognize the person who came, she recognized his clothes - this is a member of the Shence Army.

This is a good show to watch.

The scholar showed displeasure, but was held back by Zhan Qirui, as if the two of them didn't hear the words of the halberd-bearer of the Shence Army.

"I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me?" Seeing this, Jijilang couldn't help swiping the scabbard in his hand.

Zhan Qirui hurriedly stopped him, "Master Jiji, although we have no official position, we are famous for our achievements. We are not ordinary people dressed in white clothes. How can you do it at will?"

"You also know that you have no official position, and you dare to be the censor in the public opinion in the street. How can I not get you?" Jijilang didn't show any fear.

In recent days, the Shence Army has made great achievements in suppressing bandits, and Jin Wuwei will be overwhelmed by them. Although he is only a small official in the Shence Army, how can he not teach two students a lesson?Besides, Lieutenant Guan also got His Majesty's intention to ask them to watch these students carefully.

It's because they committed the following crimes, so there is no lesson for them.Rong Yushi lives near here, if he knows about this, maybe he will please Rong Yushi, and one day he will be able to rise to the top.

"The Holy Majesty always speaks out and rewards those who can slander and ridicule the government, let alone Rongzhi. Moreover, if he is really frank, why would he be afraid of others' words?" Zhan Qirui is known for his eloquence. Although he is inferior to Rongzhi, he will not lose to a Hold the halberd.

After Emperor Yuanjia planned to "strive for governance", he also followed the example of Gu Lai Mingjun. In addition to opening Enke early, he also opened up his voice.

At least on the surface.

"Are you using the holy majesty to suppress me?" The halberd bearer showed displeasure.

Zhan Qirui turned sideways slightly, "Don't dare, it's just for the people of the sage, so naturally remember the way of the sage. Don't dare to forget it lightly, and dare not go against it."

The man holding the halberd choked, compared to his eloquence, he was naturally inferior to these well-mannered scholars.

He was about to say something more, but the Shence Army ran up to him and whispered in his ear, "Jijilang, this person is Zhan Qirui."

Jijilang frowned, he had naturally heard about this noble son.This person is quite famous, and the backstage is tough, even the supervisor can't move easily, let alone him.

Thinking of this, he raised his chin, still speaking bravely, "Forget it, since your scientific examination is about to come, and you have fame and fame. If so, I will never let you go lightly."
