Yanlouchun

Chapter 28 Who is coming?

"What are you talking about, how is it possible?" Luo Feng denied her.

"Why is that?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"I don't know." Luo Feng said.

"Then you're so sure it's not because of the haunting?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"Of course, there is no one in the academy because the government doesn't open it." Luo Feng changed his tone again.

Shen Zhiyun didn't know which of what he said was true and which was false, and then asked, "Why don't you get out of the way?"

Luo Feng suddenly ran to the window of the front room, knocked on the window twice, and shouted, "Old Liu! Old Liu! Are you here! There are guests!"

No one answered inside, Luo Feng happily opened the door and entered the room, shouting outside, "Brother Shen, come in!"

Shen Zhiyun followed up and entered the room. The room was in a mess, with paper and pens all over the floor, and there was almost no place to stay.

"Hey, don't step on the things on the ground. Although they are all piles of useless rotten paper, if you step on Old Liu, he will be angry." Luo Feng had already found a wicker chair to lie down, and sighed, "It's still cool in this room!"

Shen Zhiyun looked at the things under his feet, and looked up to see that there was no one in the room, "Why is there no one?"

She thought Luo Feng brought her in because someone was in the room.

"Aren't I just a human?" Luo Feng lay comfortably on the wicker chair and raised his legs.

"You boy, you are wasting my time and ruining my money." Shen Zhiyun pretended to be angry.

"No, I didn't play tricks on you. This room is indeed the room where the manager is." Luo Feng sat up and said, "It is said that the manager may not be there. Everything depends on fate. I promise to bring you, but whether the manager is there is up to you." You can't blame me."

"Is this person in charge rich?" Shen Zhiyun asked, "Is he not afraid of being blamed by the higher ups if he is not in his position every day?"

"What's the blame? I told you that the academy is not allowed to open by the government, so it's abolished, so what if there are people in charge, at most it's just a yard watcher." Luo Feng said indifferently.

"Hey, why are you standing so far away? Come here!" Seeing Shen Zhiyun still standing at the door, Luo Feng called her over.

Shen Zhiyun raised his foot, causing the paper on the ground to roll up a corner, and felt that the things on the ground inside were finished when there was a gust of wind outside the door.

"When will the manager come?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

"I don't know, I can still control him?" Luo Feng said this with some displeasure.

Shen Zhiyun suddenly wanted to ask, "You are so young, what are you doing wasting time as a sweeper in this abandoned academy? Could it be that you were given a lot of money?"

Luo Feng tugged at his collar irritably, "Where did you get the money, I was tricked!"

Shen Zhiyun finally found a place to sit down and became interested, "What's going on?"

Luo Feng glanced at her, "Why tell you?"

Shen Zhiyun took out a few pieces of silver from the purse, and raised his hand to throw it at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng leaned forward, raised his hands to the front, ready to continue.

Shen Zhiyun tossed the silver upwards and returned it to her hand.

After being teased, Luo Feng angrily lay back on the wicker chair, "Cut, it's boring."

Shen Zhiyun put the silver in his hand again, "Tell me how you were forced to come to the academy to sweep the floor."

Hearing the crisp sound of silver colliding, Luo Feng felt itchy in his heart, sat up again and said, "Give me the silver first, and I'll tell you."

"No, let me hear how much your story is worth first. What if you take the money and make up a random story to deal with me?"

"You give it first."

"You talk first."

Shen Zhiyun's attitude was firm, and Luo Feng waved his hands irritably, "All right, all right, let me tell you, let me tell you."

Shen Zhiyun nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

"When this rotten academy was first built, people from far and near villages who wanted to study all sent their children to study. I heard that this academy was not a favor from the county magistrate, but an order from the nobles in the capital city, and the money was allocated." Luo Luo Feng said, "Did you know that academies have been built in many places? They are all free of charge, and they are all teachers hired by the government."

Shen Zhiyun nodded, "I know."

"But there is only one place in Hua County where the academy is built nearby. It is too far away to go to other places to study, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth." Luo Feng said.

"Nahua County should have no shortage of students to study." Shen Zhiyun rubbed the silver and said.

Luo Feng continued, "There were a lot of people who came here to study, but the government stopped people from coming here as if they had eaten shit. The reason they said was that the academy still needs to be repaired." Luo Feng sneered and cursed, "Repair it. Fart! No matter how much you repair the house, it will collapse."

"Then you still didn't say why you do the sweeping work here?" Shen Zhiyun only listened to the superficial for a long time.

Luo Feng let out a "bah", "Guanfu, I was tricked into coming to Hua County by this academy. I came here after walking a long way, but I couldn't explain it, I was so mad!"

Shen Zhiyun frowned, "Then you're doing love out of hatred, and you're working here for nothing?"

Luo Feng looked at Shen Zhiyun with a look of "you're farting", opened and closed his mouth several times, but didn't say a word.

Seeing him hesitate to speak, Shen Zhiyun couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Could it be that you really... have unique hobbies."

"Fart!" Luo Feng scolded her, "What kind of sick person would turn hate into love!"

"Then why?" Shen Zhiyun asked.

Luo Feng said in a low voice, "The coil is lost..."

"What?" Shen Zhiyun didn't hear clearly.

"The coil was stolen!" Luo Feng smashed the jar.

Fourteen and five-year-old teenagers always want to save face. They want to grow up but have no skills. They are already sensible in their hearts and know that it is not easy for their parents to earn money.

"Hey..." Luo Feng sighed quietly, "If I don't finish my studies, I will lose my money, and my mother will be mad at me when I go back."

Shen Zhiyun was a little taken aback, as if he had poked the boy's heartache.

Seeing Shen Zhiyun's sympathetic eyes, Luo Feng felt agitated, "Look at Mao, give me the money, you said it!"

Sympathy belongs to sympathy, money still can't be spent casually, you have to ask clearly.

Shen Zhiyun held the money tightly, "So you stayed and worked as a handyman to make money? This is not a quick job."

Luo Feng said helplessly, "Not only was the money stolen, but he also accidentally set fire to the manuscript of the bad manager. He wanted to blackmail me. I don't have any money, so I have to work for free to pay off the debt."

It turned out that I came to Hua County, and after knowing that the academy was closed, I was annoyed and had no choice but to find a guest house to stay for one night, and then return the same way the next day.

But when he woke up, he found that the package had been stolen. He couldn't find anyone, so he went to the proprietress of the inn to make a fuss.

Luo Feng felt that he was too unlucky and suffered too much. Thinking of the closed academy, there must be no one there.

So in the middle of the night, I climbed over the wall and entered the academy, thinking that I would make money by stealing some books and buying them instead, since no one came here to study anyway.

As a result, I just slipped into a room, thought it was an empty room, opened the door and went in, just lit the fire, and was scolded in the dark, "Who!"

Luo Feng was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the fire folder fell to the ground. The ground was full of waste papers in a mess, and a fire broke out with a "squeak".Luo Feng and the man hurried over and stamped it out with their feet, the more they stepped on it, the more chaotic it became, and finally the man went to the courtyard to fetch a few pots of water before splashing it out, it took a lot of effort.

When the candle was lit, Luo Feng was so frightened that he slumped on the ground. The ground was either ashes or paper soaked in water.

The person who lights the lamp is the owner of the house, the steward of the academy, and the old Liu whom Luo Feng called out just now.

Old Liu said that he wanted to arrest Luo Feng and report to the police. Luo Feng hugged Lao Liu's thigh with snot and tears, and cried out his tragic experience, "Please do me a favor... woo woo woo... I was also forced to be helpless, you sent me to the government, and there is a 70-year-old mother at home who wants me to support... woo woo woo woo..."

Luo Feng was wailing here, and his mother, who was far away in the village, who was not yet forty, sneezed.

Old Liu sighed and said, "Do you know that what you just burned are all the notes of famous masters. I spread these papers on the ground for the convenience of tidying up, but now you have a big problem." He said again Sighing, deep sorrow was mixed in it, and Luo Feng's heart felt cold when he heard it.

Luo Feng was stupefied for a moment, frightened to the point of flying out of his wits.

If it really ruined the famous masterpiece, his mother would sell tofu all her life and plant the land all her life, and she wouldn't be able to fill this big hole!
Sell ​​him... But even if you sell him, you can't afford it!
"Please let me go, I will repay you like a cow and a horse!" Luo Feng hugged Lao Liu's thigh and begged.

Old Liu seemed to be in a dilemma, and sighed, "Forget it, you are only a half-grown child, let me fill this basket for you."

Luo Feng was so grateful at that time, he wanted to recognize Lao Liu as his godfather, so he agreed to work as a cleaning worker in the academy.

"He's a liar!" Luo Feng scolded angrily, "What a famous masterpiece, I'm sorry!"

"I've only been in the academy for a few days, and his room is full of rotten papers."

Shen Zhiyun said, "It's not that you have bad thoughts and come here to steal things. It's a pity that you have studied before."

Luo Feng knew he was wrong, so he said without confidence, "Then I have been working for him for a few months."

He clearly knew that Old Liu had lied to him, but he had no face to go home after finding out. He hid in the academy under the pretext of being deceived by Old Liu, not daring to go back to face his mother in the village.

Shen Zhiyun threw the silver to Luo Feng.

Luo Feng caught it in surprise, and one rolled to the ground. Luo Feng got down from the wicker chair and squatted down to pick it up again. When he looked up again, Shen Zhiyun had already walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" Luo Feng called out to Shen Zhiyun.

"The manager is not here, I'll come back when he comes."

Shen Zhiyun left without looking back.

"Walk slowly, don't see off—" Luo Feng waved his hand towards Shen Zhiyun's back.

Luo Feng thought that Shen Zhiyun left the academy and went back to lying on the rattan chair to be lazy.

Shen Zhiyun didn't leave right away, and wandered around the academy.

The scale of this academy is not lazy, and there is a vegetable garden behind it.

Then why doesn't the government allow the academy to recruit people?

Shen Zhiyun returned to the yard.

Jiang Yujin asked what happened.

Shen Zhiyun shook his head, and told Jiang Yujin what he had heard.

"Could it be due to the oppression of the powerful, and the rich don't want the children of the poor to compete with their own children for the ranking of the imperial examination?" Jiang Yujin guessed.

"It may not be big." Shen Zhiyun said, "If it is oppressed by a strong man, the local officials should protect each other, join forces with that strong man, monopolize even a matter of studying, and be arrogant and domineering on weekdays, oppressing the people."

"But I went out last night. I didn't know that the curfew in Hua County was so early. I was caught by patrol soldiers. They let me go with a few words. They even heard that I was a foreigner. They didn't even check the ID card, so they urged me. Hurry back to the residence. It shows that the officers and soldiers here are quite gentle, of course, it may just be my luck that I met a group of gentle patrol soldiers." Shen Zhiyun said.

Jiang Yujin said, "The two of us left the big team, and Yicheng probably sent people to warn all the cities and counties in Linzhou one by one."

"Do you still need to warn now? As early as when we left Beijing, we got news that there is no place that is not ready." Shen Zhiyun said, "I told Yicheng Tongzhi that you and I are ministers, and Deng Changchun is the imperial envoy. Most of the attention in Yicheng is still on Deng Changchun and Luo Zengwen."

Jiang Yujin nodded, "Then shall we continue to investigate privately? I reckon that the orders from Yicheng will be issued in various places in a short time."

Shen Zhiyun shook his head, "No, the private investigation can find out, so we don't need officials to go south. Let's go directly to the county magistrate and order them with the imperial token. I want to see what the reason is for not opening this academy. The county magistrate doesn’t have to continue doing it if he dares to make a fool of Xuetian’s income and expenditure account book.”

In fact, Shen Zhiyun was sullen. After many courtiers pleaded for the people, His Majesty asked the Ministry of Households to allocate money to build the academy.It is a great benefit to the world for the imperial court to give such a good opportunity to the children of poor families. It is a great benefit to the world. The accounts of the school field are one thing. Some people are greedy for money. But it is too rampant for this academy to be closed immediately!Directly set the emperor's life as nothingness!

It has been more than half a year since Guangjian Academy's money has been allocated to the states. This time, she will not be able to find out the case, and she will be ashamed to face her colleagues in the court.

Another part of the funds has now arrived in Yicheng. Shen Zhiyun feels that this batch of money was transported early, which gave the prefecture and county a chance to cheat and seek personal gain.

So Shen Zhiyun and Jiang Yujin took those entourages to the government.

"Who is it?" asked the guard at the door.

Shen Zhiyun showed the token of the capital, "By His Majesty's order, investigate Linzhou Xuetian!"

The guards rushed in to report that some high-ranking officials from the capital came to Linzhou to investigate and deal with it. They all got the news, but they didn't expect that the other big cities hadn't heard the news yet, so they ran into this county first.

The county magistrate and master trotted out to meet him.

The county magistrate was a fat man, the flesh on his face trembled when he spoke, and he didn't know whether he was fat or scared.

The master is thin, with a sunken face, flat as a piece of paper standing next to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate looked at Shen Zhiyun's token, and after checking it was indeed the Beijing token, he yelled in his heart that it was unlucky, but he smiled happily and flattered him, "My lords have worked hard all the way, please come in."

There were only a dozen or so people who came, and the county magistrate wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, for fear of offending the nobleman, Shen Zhiyun saw the magistrate's hesitant look, and said, "The rest of the adults have already arrived in Yicheng."

The county magistrate had guessed what was on his mind, and his heart tightened again, and he wiped his sweat with his sleeve in fear, "Okay, my lord, please come in."

It's on the shelves! It's on the shelves!
