More than ten days later, Xiahe County,

There is an ordinary two-entry house not far from the Yamen.

"Look, Lord County Lord, this party has used despicable means to seize my family's tea garden. The tea plantation of more than 100,000 taels was only given more than 1,000 taels of silver. This is simply robbery. Lord County Lord, you have to do it for the common people." Make the decision!"

After Huang Yuangui from the Huang family finished speaking, he stood respectfully, his eyebrows lowered and he did not dare to look directly at Liu Zheng, the magistrate of Xiahe County who was sitting in front of him.

Liu Zheng was expressionless. He didn't know if he heard what Huang Yuangui said. He was just making tea seriously.

The county official Liu Zheng calmly closed the lid of the cup, put the tea leaves into the pot, and boiled the water for a while. After it boiled, he added a little salt and a few spices.

Then he slowly arranged the tea sets neatly, then picked them up and blew the water in the cup gently.

Then he slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The tea had just been brewed and was a bit hot for ordinary people, but it was very comfortable for him to drink.

"Well, not bad! It's good tea. But I heard that now in Xiahe County, and even in Shanyang Prefecture, the best tea is called Biyouchun."

Liu Zheng nodded, but said with a little interest.

When Huang Yuangui heard this, his face immediately lit up. He was afraid that Liu Zheng wouldn't answer, since he was talking about the new fried tea called Biyouchun.

It seems that Mr. Liu is still concerned about the tea garden.

"Your Majesty, you must be aware that the Biyouchun tea is produced in the tea garden that was robbed from my family. Otherwise, I would have to pay homage to the county magistrate."

When Huang Yuangui said this, his face looked sad, like a resentful woman who had been deceived.

He glanced at Liu Zheng carefully, and after seeing that his expression did not change, he continued:

"It's a pity that the young one was accidentally tricked by that military examination and lost the inheritance of his ancestors."

Liu Zheng gently fiddled with the fire, causing the tea on it to boil more intensely, and then continued:

"How did I hear that you misappropriated Fang Yue's silver and bone-forging secret medicine without authorization, and that's why I gave you compensation."

Liu Xianzun's words seemed to be just a casual question. But opposite him, Huang Yuangui stood bent over, his forehead immediately covered with sweat.

The next moment, the whole person knelt down directly.

"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that the martial arts department there is disabled. According to the emergency situation of the disaster, those regular silver and secret medicines distributed by the imperial court have been converted into food and sent to various disaster-stricken places in the county."

Huang Yuangui quickly said what he and his father had agreed upon.

"At that time, the disasters in various parts of the county were serious. In every township, town, and village, life was difficult. Fortunately, adults sympathized with the disaster and donated food with their own money. At that time, the county's responders were very kind, and the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, it would be the same if I knew If you are willing, if the situation is critical, your subordinates will make the decision for him.”

The more Huang Yuangui talked about it, the more excited he became, tears streaming down his face, and he really showed his true character in the performance.

The incident he mentioned did indeed happen at that time, but the real situation at that time was that there were very few responders.

In other words, not many people are willing to contribute.

After working hard for ten days, I only raised more than 3,000 taels of silver and bought more than 6,000 kilograms of grain. For Xiahe County at that time, it was a drop in the bucket.

However, it was Liu Zheng's credit that it came out of Huang Yuangui's mouth at this time.

"But who would have thought that Fang Wuju had no idea what the Lord was doing, and when the disaster was over, he came to the Yamen to ask for the money.

So, this is what happened next. "

After Huang Yuangui finished speaking, he sighed.

At this moment, his eyes were red, and he really felt that it was a big loss to sell the tea garden at that time.

He sold a huge fortune worth hundreds of thousands taels of silver for less than 2,000 taels.

No, he was blackmailed by Fang Yue.

This is really deceiving!

In the end, even Huang Yuangui himself couldn't help but believe that he was bullied by Fang Yue this time, and he himself was a victim.

"If the adults can punish this evil thief and help the little one get the tea garden back, the little one is willing to give 30% but not 60% of the output to honor the lord!"

After saying that, he knelt down on the spot and bowed his head deeply.

This is his goal, to get the tea garden back.

Even though he only gets 40% of the income, more than half of it must be given to Liu Zheng.

After all, it was only 40%, and according to current estimates, it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is only one year, and other tea gardens will recover next year.

There will still be substantial gains.

Calculating it this way, let alone 40% of the income, even if it is only 10%, he will make a lot of money.

And when he came to find Liu Zheng this time, the bottom line his second uncle gave him was to keep 20% of the proceeds.

At this time, Liu Zheng finished listening.

The teacup in his hand paused for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, then returned to normal, took a sip of tea, and said in a calm tone:

"Well, I understand, you should go back first."

~~~~~~

Half an hour later, Huang Yuangui was at home.

After returning home, Huang Yuangui told his father what had just happened at Liu Zheng's house, and finally sighed:

"Second uncle, isn't Liu Zheng ready to help? Why can't he give me a confirmation? What does he mean?"

Huang Lie was happy when he heard this: "It's done."

Huang Yuangui frowned, his expression full of disbelief. Liu Zheng didn't say anything. How could this happen?

"Haha, then Liu Zhengnian and my second uncle were admitted to the martial arts examination in the same class. They seem old-fashioned, but they are not lenient when it comes to the benefits they deserve. The reason why he supported the White Tiger Tea Company before was because the White Tiger Tea Company provided The benefits are even greater.”

"The same is true now. He will make the right choice." Huang Lie smiled slightly.

When Huang Yuangui heard this, instead of feeling relieved, he continued to ask: "Tell me, if Fang Yue is willing to give so much, will Liu Zheng still support us then?"

"Don't worry, Fang Yue is young and full of energy, and now Yi Xu is at his peak. He will not bow to Liu Zheng."

As if he still didn't believe it after seeing his nephew, Huang Lie immediately continued:

"The power of martial arts is to move forward bravely and diligently. If you give in too much, it will inevitably affect the heart of martial arts, and then the progress of martial arts will be affected. At this age, a martial artist who can practice to the fourth level of martial arts, Yijing, must have one A brave heart.”

Hearing this, Huang Yuangui breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

~~~~~~

The noisy chariots and horses are about to reach the sky,

The list of people to explore the east hall is up.

Although this time is not the examination and results release, it is still an important day among the Shanyang Prefecture Guards, which is no less important than the imperial examination results release.

Today, the senior officials of the Imperial Guard will announce the candidates for vacant captain posts in various places.

Therefore, many people gathered early in the school grounds.

"What I said before remains true. As long as the team nods now, I will still let you be my deputy."

Gao Shide saw Fang Hu in the crowd, came to him, smiled like a winner, and said as if giving alms.

However, the latter did not even look at Gao Shide.

It seemed that he didn't hear what he said at all.

"Why didn't you respond when we were talking to you? You really don't know how to behave and don't know the rules." At this time, the loser next to Gao Shide opened his mouth to vent his anger on Gao Shide's behalf.

At this time, Fang Hu turned around and gave the speaker a cold look.

"What kind of crime should you be punished for insulting a superior officer!"

Gao Shide is only the deputy of the team now, and is one level lower than Fang Hu in terms of rank, not to mention the henchman around him, a big-headed soldier.

However, the warriors at Mopiguan could not help but tremble when they were killed by warriors like Fang Hu from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

With a look of fear on his face, he staggered back.

I don't know whether I stepped on it properly or was tripped by someone, and fell to the ground.

"For a guy like this, I wonder if his hands will shake when he kills people."

"Killing? This bitch can't even kill a chicken!"

The people around him also burst into laughter at this time. It is really rare for a warrior to be so timid.

Besides, many people are actually very dissatisfied with the gilded second generation like Gao Shide, but due to military discipline and the power of the other party, they dare not say so openly.

Now when things like this happen, of course they are booing.

"Hmph, trash."

When Gao Shide saw this situation, he knew that if he continued, he would only lose face, so he immediately threw up his sleeves and left.

He didn't even look at his bitch.

One of the parties involved left, and the commotion here quickly dissipated.

At the same time, on the high platform.

Wang Sili took a red letter and walked to the high platform.

This list is exactly the list of military personnel who will be conferred this time. He submitted it, approved by the governor, and with the seal, it has officially taken effect.

In fact, for the appointment of the seventh-rank military officer, the feudal officials such as Fujun will basically not interfere, because the seventh-rank military officer is the lowest military officer.

If many martial arts candidates are lucky, they can be ranked among the ranking officials.

Moreover, most of the warriors who serve as military attaches at this level are forging bones or changing marrow. Although there are not many warriors of this type, there are still many warriors in a mansion after many years.

"Quiet, you are listening. This time we defeated the Moshan bandits. All the officers and soldiers have done a great job. Your Majesty has given me the following reward. You are listening attentively."

Following Wang Sili's voice, the school grounds immediately fell silent.

"The captain of Jingshan County, the king is the people."

As the names were read one by one, the warriors whose names were called were overjoyed, while those who had not been called could only hope for the next time.

However, after calling more than twenty names in succession, I didn't hear my name.

There will inevitably be people in the crowd who are frustrated.

"Hey, if I had known this before, I should have worked hard back then. If I had passed the martial arts examination exam then, I wouldn't be like this today."

A warrior with gray hair on the temples, messy beard and hair, sighing.

His words resonated with many martial arts people around him. Most of these people had achieved a lot of achievements, but they did not have the reputation of being martial arts scholars themselves.

It sounds like those whose merits may not be as good as them, but they were all awarded official positions.

I still don’t know how important the reputation of a martial artist is.

However, it's too late now.

Even Fang Hu, who was usually as strong as iron, couldn't help but feel moved at this time.

The corners of his mouth were slightly closed, but no words came out.

At this time, he turned his eyes and happened to see Gao Shide. At this time, the other person's eyes were provocative and full of ridicule.

"Forget it, there are only a few places left, it's useless. If I had known this, Brother Fang might as well have agreed to that Gao Shide." Zhang Youde sighed, as if he was thinking about Fang Hu.

"Brother Zhang, don't talk anymore, the way is different." Fang Hu shook his head and then looked towards the high platform.

But at this time, Zhang Youde raised his mouth and looked at Fang Hu sarcastically.

"In this case, take care, Brother Fang." Zhang Youde said with a fist.

Then, he walked towards Gao Shide.

This means that he accepted Gao Shide's invitation, and after Gao Shide was awarded an official position, he would follow him to the local appointment.

This is the way out. After all, he has to follow the promising party.

Fang Hu looked at this scene, his face became more and more ugly. At this time, he realized that this person who had made friends with him and had a very good relationship with him would also make such a choice.

But he couldn't say anything, he couldn't block people's future.

Everyone has his own ambitions, different paths, and can't make plans together.

"Xiahe County Commander, Fang Hu."

At this time, Wang Sili's voice rang.

Fang Hu, who was already disappointed and ready to leave quietly, stopped immediately.

He couldn't believe what he heard, turned his head and looked at Wang Sili on the high platform.

The latter smiled and nodded to him.

"Congratulations, Brother Fang! Congratulations, Brother Fang!"

"Oh no, it should be Captain Fang."

At this time, people around congratulated him, especially those who had no power, no money, and no military achievements.

At this time, Fang Hu could only smile foolishly, and he didn't even know what to say.

At the same time, Zhang Youde, who had just come to Gao Shide and hadn't said a few compliments, had a stiff smile on his face.

He opened his mouth wide, and he almost wanted to stuff a few eggs in it.

"How could it be, how could such a person step on dog shit and get lucky!" At first, he was surprised and regretful, but Zhang Youde immediately noticed that Gao Shide beside him had an ugly face.

He quickly changed his tone. He had made a choice and offended Fang Hu. At this time, he didn't dare to offend Gao Shide.

Otherwise, he would not please both sides, and he would suffer a great loss.

He could only comfort himself in his heart that Fang Hu was lucky, but Gao Shide would not be bad either.

Only by following a man like Gao Shide can I have the opportunity to take advantage of others and embezzle money.

Following a blockhead like Fang Hu, I will starve to death sooner or later.

Thinking of this, I felt less uncomfortable.

Turning to look at Wang Sili, it was obvious that he was more concerned about which county Gao Shide would be assigned to than Gao Shide himself.

However, sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

As time went by, Wang Sili quickly read out more than 20 names.

"Okay, the above are the candidates for this appointment. Please take up your posts as soon as possible and serve the court."

Wang Sili closed the red list and handed it to the soldiers around him to post. He did not remember to leave, but continued:

"For those whose names were just called, I will host a gathering at Deyun Building tonight."
