Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 325
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about?" Mrs. Wang pulled out her stick and slapped Zhou Dongping, "I'll beat you to death, you heartless person! I'll kill you..."

Zhou Dongping didn't dare to fight back, he just dodged to the right and left, and ran away with his head in his arms.

He is not afraid of Wang himself, but the family behind Wang.Mrs. Wang has a strong temper, if she is not allowed to vent her anger, she can make peace.It's nothing to be with Li, Zhou Dongping has long been annoyed by such a mediocre-looking and tough-tempered wife.Thinking about Gu Hanlin's current situation, and seeing that the Wang family couldn't help him at all, he became impatient with the Wang family.

But the Wang family can't help him, and it's okay to ruin him.The Wang family is flourishing and has been in Beijing for many years, so they still have connections.If I really want to get rid of him, I don't need to spend a lot of trouble, just find an acquaintance in the official department, let him not get excellent grades in the examination for years, and he can sit in this position for the rest of his life.If he tried harder and twisted his mouth at the critical moment, he would not even be able to keep his current position, and he would be transferred to a more impoverished and remote place.

He is also counting on being promoted to an official position outside, and then he will find a way to transfer back to Beijing to take care of him.For all these, he had to ask his brothers and sisters for help, how dare he go against Wang's?
"Don't hit me, really don't hit me anymore, I can't take it anymore if I haven't closed my eyes for a few days." Zhou Dongping is more than a shrewd person, he has already figured out the weakness in Wang's temperament.

She has a strong temper, but she is easy to soften her heart.Every time there was a conflict between husband and wife, as long as he pretended to be pitiful, the Wang family would die down.

But this time he underestimated Wang's anger.

If she only knew that Zhou Dongping had an affair with someone before marriage and had no relationship after marriage, she would just yell a few words.But this is obviously not!It has been more than ten years, and he has actually made things difficult for a child he has never met because of that woman. One can imagine how much he misses that woman in his heart, and how much he regrets not marrying that woman back then.How could this make her bear it?

However, the Wang family was middle-aged, and his body was slightly plump. After running after Zhou Dongping for a few steps, he was out of breath.

She supported her body with a fire stick and gasped for breath, pointed at Zhou Dongping and said, "Heli, I want to make peace with you." Saying that, she threw the stick, turned and entered the door.

Zhou Dongping was dumbfounded.

No matter how much he regretted not being able to persuade Miss Huihui, and thus missed a good relationship; and no matter how dissatisfied he was with the Wang family, and how deeply he resented the Wang family for not giving him a son and not allowing him to take concubines, he Neither can be reconciled.

With Li, he will be the official.

"Madam, Madam, listen to me." He chased after him, and was about to explain, but heard a "bang", and Mrs. Wang shut him out of the door.

Zhou Dongping only felt his temples throbbing.He rubbed the space between his brows, and decided to go to the study to rest first, and wait for Wang's anger to subside before coaxing him.

It is not so easy to get along with Li, he believes that Wang is just yelling.When she calms down, it's over.

He went to the academy, and said to his entourage: "Call Zhong An."

In this week's mansion, most of the servants were Wang's original companions.Even if there are newly bought servants, because the Wang family is in charge, they only listen to the Wang family.The only butler in the mansion, Zhong An, was a book boy bought by Zhou Dongping after he won the Juren. When he got married, he promoted Zhong An to be the butler, which could be regarded as a little bit of his own influence in the mansion.In this way, he can know what happened in the mansion, and he doesn't have to look at Wang's face if he wants someone to do anything.

Zhong An came soon: "Master."

Zhou Dongping half-lyed on the soft couch with his eyes closed. Although his head was uncomfortably dizzy, his nerves were tense, which prevented him from falling asleep at all.

Hearing Zhong An's voice, he didn't open his eyes, and asked: "It's been a few days, you should know why Madam suddenly made a fuss that day?"

"Yes." Zhong An was able to stay in the position of housekeeper for more than ten years, and there were means.

He said: "Madam Wu closed the door and said something to Madam when she came back from visiting her son that day, Madam made a fuss."

"Nurse Wu?" Zhou Dongping opened his eyes and frowned.

Nanny Wu is Wang's nanny. Because she is very dedicated to Wang, Wang treats her like a mother.In the past two years, she released her son's family's identity deed, and asked her brother to work as a steward outside to help her manage the business.

If she had heard some news outside, it would not be surprising for Mrs. Wang to make a fuss.

The strange thing is how did Madam Wu know that he was embarrassing Du Jinning in the examination room?Except for him and Li together, and the person involved, Du Jinning, no one knows about it, right?

The most important thing is to know that it is okay for him to embarrass Du Jinning. After all, Du Jinning is not a dead person. He felt his hostility in the examination room, and when he went back to tell his teacher and classmates, this matter might have spread.But why did Miss Gu get involved?
Could it be that Guan Lehe knew about it?

This is the only explanation.

After all, so many years have passed, except for the Guan family, Gu family and him who were involved in this matter, everyone else has long forgotten what happened back then.

Is this Guan Lehe's retaliation for embarrassing Du Jinning?
Thinking of this, deep hatred welled up in Zhou Dongping's heart.

Back then, it was because of Guan Lehe that his marriage to Miss Gu failed.Guan Le and ruined not only his marriage, but also his future.Otherwise, relying on Mr. Gu, he has already been promoted to some official position, why would he need to live in such a remote and impoverished place?

Now, he just made things difficult for Guan Lehe's disciples, and didn't he choose him as the head of the government in the end?Guan Lehe actually has the face to come and use such despicable means to fight back against him?It's just too despicable and shameless!

No, he can't let Guan Lehe be proud, he must let Guan Lehe know that he is now the dignified fourth-rank magistrate and the ruler of this place; Lehe had to bear his anger.

"Go, look up that Du Jinning, find out where he lives and when he's going back to Lishui County." He ordered.

He hated to hate, anger to anger, but he has not lost his mind.

Although he was promoted to a fourth-rank official relying on his own ability and a little help from the Wang family, the fourth-rank foreign officials are not as good as the fifth-rank officials in Beijing.Especially that kind of aristocratic family, with complicated roots and extensive contacts, is not something he can mess with.His foundation is too shallow, and he can't shake the big tree of the Guan family, so it's not easy to attack the Guan family.You must know that the Guan family is much stronger than the Wang family.He even tolerated the Wang family a lot, so naturally he would not provoke the Guan family carelessly.

This is also the reason why he has served as the magistrate here for two and a half years, even though he hated Guan Lehe in his heart, he did not extend his hand to take revenge on him.

But the Guan family and Guan Le couldn't afford to provoke him, so could he afford to provoke Du Jinning?The scientific examination materials clearly stated his resume. Du Jinning has been a farmer for three generations. Even though his biological father was a scholar, he died when he was born.

He wants Guan Lehe to know that since he can make Du Jinning the head of the case and fulfill him, then he can also destroy Du Jinning.

It's not difficult to destroy a person, all you need is to destroy his reputation.It just so happens that Xuezheng Master Zhao is still here.

Thinking of this, he sneered, and felt that his mind, which had been making him uncomfortable all this time, was much relieved.
