Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 326 Destiny is in a moment
"Yes." Zhong An agreed, and then persuaded, "Master, your health is important, you should sleep first. With me watching at home, nothing serious will happen. Madam, she is just making a fuss. Never mind."

"En." Zhou Dongping nodded, then closed his eyes again.

Zhong An fetched a blanket and covered him up himself.

"If Du Jinning is going back to the county tomorrow, you have to find out and report it immediately. Don't delay, so as not to miss my important business." Zhou Dongping closed his eyes and ordered.

"Yes, master." Zhong An went to close the window again, then stepped back gently and closed the door.

Zhong An returned to his own room, and asked Zhou Dongping's boy, Ah Yan, to go to the government office to check Du Jinning's residence—where all the candidates lived, and they had to register before applying for the pre-examination in order to be selected among the top ten. When they are famous, the guards can come to the door to announce the good news with drums and gongs.Ah Yan doesn't need to turn over the case, he just needs to ask the guard who went to announce the good news.

A Yan was stopped by Zhong An before going out.

Zhong An said: "When you go to the guards to inquire, you also chat with them, and ask them about the situation of the chief of the case. If they ask the reason, you say that the adults are worried that the Xuezheng adults will ask this question, so you understand. .”

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Take A Tao with you. That kid is the best at talking. With him by his side, the guards may be able to talk more."

"Okay." Ah Yan agreed and walked out.

Not long after, Ah Yan came back, got the address from the guard, and reported the report: "The guard said that after Du Jinning finished the exam, in order to get the number of the top cards, he still practiced his memory and practice with the scriptures in the gate. Handwriting is very hard. However, the volume of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" he used to practice calligraphy, he went to the bookstore to ask after he was on duty. The book sold by the bookstore is far from that plot. I read the script in advance. Judging from this situation, it is estimated that he is very familiar with the person who wrote "The Legend of Condor Heroes", and the small courtyard where he lives is very close to the bookstore that sells "The Legend of Condor Heroes."

"Oh?" Zhong An thought aloud, "Go to Shuban Sun of the yamen and ask him to find out who owns the small courtyard and bookstore where Du Jinning lives."

Ah Yan took the order and left.

Zhong An called a few servants and went to Du Jinning's small courtyard and county hall separately to inquire about Du Jinning's return to his hometown.

As soon as he mobilized the manpower, the eyeliner of Zhou's mansion that Du Jinning bought got the news, and quickly passed the news to the informant left by Yao Shuqi.Over there, Zhong An hasn't found out the news of when Du Jinning turned back to his hometown. Du Jinning already knows about Zhou Dongping's movements here.

"Heh, he wants to pick up the soft ones, and he doesn't dare to touch the Guan family, so he wants to bully me and ruin my future?" Du Jinning smiled slightly when he heard Yao Shuqi's report, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Yao Shuqi nodded: "If we release the news that the young master will return to his hometown tomorrow, it is estimated that some candidates will come to invite the young master to drink tonight, and the news that the young master will be full of ugly things when he visits flower houses tomorrow will spread throughout the city and reach the ears of the Xuezheng lord. .”

He stayed in Fucheng for the past two years, and the teahouse was the place where he was most informed.Every year, he knows a thing or two about what happened to the candidates of the government examination and the college examination.He heard that a few years ago, a candidate was selected as a scholar in the college examination. When he was happy, he went out to drink, got drunk and molested women from good families, and was annoyed by the Xuezheng at that time.

As for whether the examinee is really a beast in clothes, or was framed by someone, it is not known.

Recruitment is not fresh, as long as it is useful.Zhou Dongping wanted to ruin Du Jinning's future, and using this method to frame Du Jinning, since it was quick and effective, couldn't be more appropriate.

Of course, if he didn't go too far, he could attack the teahouse and bookstore under Du Jinning's name.This is also the reason why Du Jinning wrote the script in the examination room and left a clue for Zhou Dongping.As long as Zhou Dongping checked with the subordinate officials, he knew that all these properties were listed under her name.Du Jinning is unwilling to do the thing of preventing thieves for a thousand days.If Zhou Dongping wants to start from this aspect, it's best to do it now, so that she won't worry about it all the time.

The two paths depend on how Zhou Dongping chooses.

Du Jinning nodded: "I originally thought that he made it difficult for me in the examination room, and I disturbed their husband and wife relationship. After this back and forth, the previous grievances and grievances between me and him have been evened out. But now it seems that people It doesn't hurt the tiger's mind, but the tiger hurts people's hearts."

"Then I should ask someone to notify Lianniang now?" Yao Shuqi asked.

Du Jinning shook his head: "Wait a minute, once this move is made, Zhou Dongping will be ruined. I want him to make a move first, and see if he is really so heartless."

She was just Guan Lehe's disciple, and Guan Lehe was innocent in that incident.She has no grudge against Zhou Dongping, if Zhou Dongping is really ruthless and wants to destroy her future, she will naturally not hold back; if Zhou Dongping feels unbearable at a critical moment, just stop here, or let her go, and go to court. If the property under her name was taken, she would naturally give Zhou Dongping a break and compete in other ways.

If she really wants to take an official career and hang out in the big dye tank of officialdom in the future, she must learn thick and black studies.But she doesn't want to let herself have no bottom line.She set a rule for herself, that is, if people do not offend me, I will not offend others; if people offend me, they must fight back severely.

Hearing Du Jinning's words, Yao Shuqi nodded slightly.

It's better to be with a master who has a conscience and a bottom line than a master who has no bottom line and is cruel.His master is on the right track: he has the means and the bottom line of morality, which is very good.

"Lu Xiaobei got up and followed me to the county hall." Du Jinning stood up.

The two discussed matters, but they didn't avoid Lu Xiaobei, who was sitting next to him.Hearing Du Jinning's call, he also stood up.

"Go back first, report any news, or ask someone to call Lu Xiaobei to pass the message." Du Jinning said to Yao Shuqi.

Yao Shuqi nodded, but did not leave immediately, but waited for Du Jinning to leave for a while, then left the courtyard and returned to the bookstore.

Du Jinning went to the county hall to ask Huang Chengming to take back the things he bought, and then walked around the rooms of his classmates and those candidates in Lishui County.Not long after she left the county hall, the news that she would return to her hometown with Huang Chengming early in the morning reached Zhong An's ears.

Zhong An didn't dare to delay, and quickly woke up the sleeping Zhou Dongping: "Master, then Du Jinning will go back to Lishui County with his teacher and classmates tomorrow."

Zhou Dongping was exhausted these days, and Zhong An woke him up halfway, and he couldn't recover for a while.

After a long time, he asked, "Apart from this, what news is there?"

"The villain asked someone to check the bookstore at the gate of Fuxue and the yard where Du Jinning lived, and found that not only the bookstore, but also several other bookstores and several lecturers who taught the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" The teahouse, as well as the small courtyard where he lives now, are Du Jinning's property."
