peasant young lady

Chapter 213 Take away his most cherished thing

Early the next morning, Cheng Xia went to Huangdun Village to find Du Zhong to drive him to the county town. Du Zhong yawned and opened the door for her.

Cheng Xia looked at Du Zhong's action with a dazed expression, and stretched out his foot on the door frame in a funny way so that he couldn't close the door, "Du Zhong, is this a reaction to welcome me?"

Du Zhong rubbed his sleepy eyes, dumbfounded, "I don't welcome you at all."

Uh, this is too blunt and hurtful, "Your brother asked me to come."

"Don't come here," Du Zhong said angrily, "my brother won't let you disturb his brother's sweet dreams early in the morning."

So sour!Cheng Xia suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, "Well, it's getting late, take me to the county seat." Cheng Xia promised that he was good at business.

"I knew it," Du Zhong complained, "I knew it was going to be good when you came, why didn't you ask your husband-in-law to take you there."

"He's not free. He's taking care of the children. Besides, there are some things that only you can do. He's not as capable as you."

A tall and fluffy hat was put on Du Zhong's head. Du Zhong felt a chill, kicked Cheng Xia's leg blocking the door, and then slammed the door shut, "I'm going to change my clothes."

Cheng Xia hurriedly nodded to say yes, but waited and waited until Du Zhong couldn't come, Cheng Xia suddenly became angry. If the courtyard wall of Du Zhong's house was not too high, she would have climbed the top of the wall.What's more, Du Zhong's house is in the middle of Huangdun Village, and there are neighbors on the left and right, so she can't knock on it unscrupulously. No matter how anxious she is, she can only wait for him to get up again.

Just as Cheng Xia was waiting for his hair to explode, Du Zhong finally appeared refreshed. He drove out, saw Cheng Xia's appearance of killing someone, and grinned triumphantly, "If you can't get in the car, I'll go." Already."

Asshole, if you want more from others, you will be inferior to others. She bears it. At worst, next time Du Zhong will go to her house for a meal, she will prepare some good food for him alone.

All the way to the county seat, Cheng Xia inquired and knew where the Examination Institute was, so he directly asked Du Zhong to go in that direction.

The examination house was really heavily guarded. Before Du Zhong's carriage reached the examination house, it was stopped by the surrounding guards, who only said that this place could not be entered now, and told them to leave quickly.

Du Zhong drove the car to a tree a little further away and stopped, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Xia frowned and thought for a while, "I want to see if Liu Wen has taken the Qiuwei exam this year." Looking at this heavily guarded place, it really looks like a modern college entrance examination. Provide a good answer sheet environment.

But Cheng Xia is not afraid, but fortunately she is smart and knows to get Eucommia here, so he will come in handy now.

Cheng Xia sat in the carriage and kicked Du Zhong, "Go in and ask, is there a man named Liu Wen among these candidates, where is the examination room?"

"Hey, I'm not going. You can see that we can't get in at all. We were stopped as soon as we got close." Du Zhong pouted and didn't move.

"Don't come here," Cheng Xia kicked again unceremoniously, "I know you have the ability to get in, hurry up and have a look, we have to go to other places later." Cheng Xia didn't come with him Yes, she knew that as Du Zhong, she could get in.

Du Zhong looked back at Cheng Xia deeply, bit his lips and weighed it for a long time, then nodded, "Okay, wait a while, I may need some time."

Cheng Xia understood, "There's no rush, I'll wait for you here."

Cheng Xia looked at what Eucommia said to the person who stopped them just now, the person looked suspiciously, did not let go directly, but turned around and went to the examination house to inform other people, but after a while, he saw it from a distance. A man in a green robe trotted over. When he got a little closer, Cheng Xia saw clearly. The official uniform on the visitor was embroidered with egrets. Cheng Xia immediately understood that this should be Zhao Ziqing, a classmate of Zhao Dezhong in Liu Wen's mouth. Alright.

The official uniforms of officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty can be roughly distinguished from three to four to five to six based on their colors even if they look at them from a distance.

The official uniforms of the first to fourth ranks of the Ming Dynasty were crimson, those of the fifth to seventh ranks were cyan, and those of the eighth and ninth ranks were green. Guess it is a few officials.Finally, combined with the embroidered bird on his body, it can be finalized.

Cheng Xia didn't understand a little bit at first, but after hearing Yang Dalang mention it, he understood a little bit.The autumn examination itself should not be held in a county, but by the north and south Zhili and the chief envoys.There were thirteen chief envoys in the Ming Dynasty, and Fujian was one of them.The center of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty was in Jianning Mansion, and the most famous place in Jianning Mansion was Chong'an County, so this time, because the examination institute of Jianning Mansion, that is, the Gongyuan, was being repaired, the location of the examination was transferred to Chong'an County is here, and Chong'an County in the past is also a candidate for the Jianning Prefecture Qiu Wei Examination, and it can be considered handy.

Cheng Xia leaned on the carriage, closed his eyes and took a nap, waiting for the news from Eucommia.

After a while, Cheng Xia heard footsteps coming in, and quickly opened his eyes to see that it really was Eucommia back.Cheng Xia hurriedly let him into the carriage, raised her eyebrows and looked at Du Zhong, "Is he really taking the exam inside?"

Du Zhong nodded, "I asked two examiners, and they did find out Liu Wen's record. As for whether it is your ex-brother-in-law Liu Wen, that's not clear."

Ex-brother-in-law?Cheng Xia was immediately happy, and Du Zhong was quite good at describing, "Then you ask where Liu Wen took the exam?"

"It's clear." Liu Wen said with certainty.

"Then let's go."

"Where are you going?" Liu Wen was suspicious.

"Go to the county government office. The magistrate should still be handling the case. We just happened to go there." Cheng Xia closed the car curtain and waited quietly for Liu Wen to drive away.

At the gate of the county government office, Cheng Xia jumped out of the carriage, looked around at the nearby shop, there happened to be a seller of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Cheng Xia asked Du Zhong to wait for a while, she hurried into the shop, and soon took a piece of paper in her hand paper out.

"What is this?" Du Zhong asked curiously.

Cheng Xia didn't hold back anymore, and handed him the paper to read.Du Zhong glanced around hastily, and immediately bowed respectfully to Cheng Xia with both hands clasped fists, "My aunt, grandma, if you do this, Liu Wen will feel worse than death."

Cheng Xia took the paper back, carefully folded it into small squares, and snorted coldly, "When he plotted to frame me time and time again, he never thought that I would feel worse than death, leaving him a cheap life to linger on Bar."

What Cheng Xia wrote on this piece of paper was nothing else, it was a detailed description of Liu Wen's wrist injury, and the current situation of participating in the Qiu Wei.She still remembered what Liu Wen said that night, but he got the test paper ahead of time and knew the content of the test well.Or, in the previous situation, Liu Wen planned to recite the answers to the corresponding content in detail, so that he would be able to write in a targeted manner in the examination room as if he had a mind.

But right now, Liu Wen's tendon in his hand has been severed, but it hasn't been completely broken. With his knife at that time, it is impossible for Liu Wen's wrist to return to normal in just four days.

As for Liu Wen being left-handed, that's impossible. She had seen Liu Wen writing in a small room with his right hand when she first traveled through time.Moreover, when she went to Liu Wen's house several times, she always paid attention to the furnishings on the desk. The inkstone and writing brush were placed on the right hand side, not the left hand side.

According to Cheng Xia's speculation, Liu Wen and Zhao Dezhong had covered up his wrist injury at the beginning, but they must have wanted to let Liu Wen participate in Qiu Wei.Anyway, when the time comes to enter the Gongyuan, once the door is closed, who knows what you did inside.Besides, according to the relationship between Liu Wen, Zhao Dezhong and the sixth-rank proctor Zhao Ziqing, wouldn't it be easy for Liu Wen to bring something in?

If she guessed correctly, Zhao Dezhong had someone write the answers to a test paper in advance, and only asked Liu Wen to bring it into the examination room. When the time comes, just hand in the test paper.

She just wanted to tell the county magistrate all this, and according to what she knew about Zheng Guan's behavior, he would break into the Gong Yuan and go to Liu Wen's place to investigate after learning about this matter, and everything would be revealed by then.

She wanted Liu Wen's reputation to be discredited. If she wanted to take revenge on someone, she would take away his most cherished things. He would suffer more than death.

Cheng Xia handed the folded paper to Du Zhong, Du Zhong jumped and stepped back quickly, "What are you doing, little aunt?"

"What are you afraid of? I won't deal with you." Cheng Xia looked at the neurotic Du Zhong speechlessly.

"I just now understand what the most poisonous woman's heart is. I'd better stay away from you." Du Zhong said with lingering fear.

Cheng Xia kicked it over, "Hurry up and pass the paper to the magistrate. Quietly, just throw it in at the gate of the county government office. After throwing it, run back quickly. Let's go back right away."

"Aren't you showing your face?"

"No revealing," Cheng Xia waved his hand, "Go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you."

Seeing Eucommia running over, Cheng Xia couldn't help being grateful. Fortunately, she had borrowed the identity of Du Zhong today, otherwise she would not have been able to find out whether Liu Wen had taken the Qiuwei exam, nor would she know which room Liu Wen was in.

Seeing Du Zhong surrounded by the crowd watching the trial at the gate of the county government office, he carefully looked left and right, then threw the ball of paper in his hand into the lobby when no one was prepared, and ran back like a gust of wind, got into the car, When driving, he ran away without a trace.

Cheng Xia's viscera, which had been knocked up in the carriage, were no longer in their original positions, and Eucommia's speed slowed down a little until he ran for at least a mile.

When they arrived at the bamboo house, Yang Dalang was teaching Xiaolong how to write. Seeing that the two of them came back with smiles on their faces, he knew that things were going well, so he didn't ask carefully.

However, he remembered something he had heard when he went down the mountain to take Xiaolong out for a walk, and looked at Cheng Xia who was washing his hands and preparing to cook, "I heard that your mother is going to drive that so-called Xiu'e out of Cheng's house." .”

Cheng Xia was overjoyed and turned around immediately, "Really?"

Yang Dalang nodded, "But your grandma disagreed. In the end, it is said that Lizheng was invited to make a decision."

"What's the final result?" Cheng Xia asked with narrowed eyes.
