Chapter 65 Introduction

"Ah, it's you!" Wu Kejiu, who was sitting on the ground, hugging his head and crying, suddenly looked up and saw Du Zhongxiao coming, and couldn't help but scream.

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Of course it's me. Although you have been asking me for trouble many times, you are a fellow villager after all. How can I not help you when you encounter difficulties in a foreign land? Alas, Xiao Junwai, after getting this lesson, go back to your hometown to be honest in the future."

Wu Kejiu looked calm when he saw Du Zhongxiao's expression, and didn't know if he was telling the truth or the lies, but he just couldn't help sobbing.

Of course, Du Zhongxiao was just perfunctory. This time he chased him all the way, just because of a story that had some impression of his previous life, and had nothing to do with Wu Kejiu. However, since he had already rescued the person, Du Zhongxiao didn't mind being a good person.

The case was not complicated. After catching Niu Er, he quickly asked about the hiding place of others. The place where Ma Da and others hid was not far from the mouth of the Bian River, where there was already a wing army that could not even escape. Once the identity was revealed, these people would have nowhere to hide and were soon arrested.

Du Zhongxiao wanted to turn around and leave, but was kept by Di Fu, the governor of Zhengzhou. This case is simple, but it has a significant impact on the government affairs. Du Zhongxiao was the first person to propose, so how could he be rewarded regardless of merit? Since Zhang Yuan sent someone to welcome his family, it means that he had no intention of returning to the Song Dynasty at all. The officials who had previously proposed to use high officials and generous salaries to lure him to the Song Dynasty will be held accountable. It seems that the small matter has a significant impact on the government affairs. Even the arbitrary discussion with the Dangxiang was inevitably affected.

Wu Kejiu and He Zhongli are cousins, while Di Fu is He Zhongli's father-in-law. This time he was involved, and he also wanted Du Zhongxiao to help him say something so as not to be beaten by officials who are eager to make contributions and become a member of the Party.

Du Zhongxiao followed the situation and agreed that Wu Kejiu was deceived by a traitor and that he had no intention of treason.

This is true for officials who were born in Jinshi, with all kinds of relatives connected to relatives. Even if they were born in small families, they would gain a lot of various relationships in the officialdom through marriage. Wu Kejiu Pan He Zhongli's relatives, and after leaving his hometown, he gained countless benefits.

Standing next to Wu Kejiu, Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "Xiao Junwai, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a family of long-term love. After this, you should go back to your hometown as soon as possible. Thinking of steaming wine for wealthy families and clinging to the powerful, it is unreliable."

Wu Kejiu wiped his tears and raised his head suddenly: "What are you saying? How bad are I? But it's you, steaming wine has gained countless benefits, and everyone flattered me. Now I have made such a great contribution. I usually steam wine for others, but in the end I became a prisoner!"

When Du Zhongxiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I had to do it for someone else's sake. If I hadn't refused, I would have given you all this opportunity. We were scholars, but we relied on steaming wine for others to curry favor with the powerful and powerful, and for no reason I could make people laugh! When I went back this time, I presented the method of steaming wine to the court. It would be difficult to steam wine for others in the future. It would be better to go back."

Wu Kejiu felt that Du Zhongxiao was telling the truth, but he was unwilling to give up, so he just held his head and sobbed.

Du Zhongxiao was upset and walked to the side, watching the horizon fascinated. In fact, he should have returned home with the books he bought, but he delayed it again and again in the capital, and finally got involved in such a case. What's the use of making meritorious service? Even if the court rewarded him as a small military official, he would do it himself? Only after taking the Jinshi exam can he have a future, and it has nothing to do with the Jinshi exam, and it will be useless in the end. Even if the court gave a booklet, the court exempted himself from the trial, which was useless for Du Zhongxiao. The trial was not difficult, but after being exempted, he would have to pass the provincial exam, and the palace exam was still useless in the end.

After sobbing for a while, Wu Kejiu raised his head and said, "I was better than you in everything, but since you steamed wine in your house, I met a nemesis. Now I'm making trouble again. How do I meet people when I return to the countryside?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "You bullied me and the Han family that day. There was no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. I have survived it. Tell the truth, I wish I could knock you to the ground and step on one foot. I would never turn over for millions of years. Today, I saw you pitiful and could not have such thoughts. Xiaoshi, don't bully others in the future. This time you meet my good temper and don't care about you, it won't be sure of it in the future."

In fact, Du Zhongxiao did not care about Wu Kejiu, but could not care about it. Wu Kejiu bit himself to death and was deceived, and the governor Di Fu returned to protect him. This matter could only be passed like this. Looking at Wu Kejiu's appearance, Du Zhongxiao sighed. What he annoyed most was that Wu Kejiu could not let go, and continued to entangle in the future and cause any more trouble in his hometown.

It was not until noon that Di Fu had handled the case clearly and summoned Du Zhongxiao.

After the ceremony, he arranged to sit down. Di Fen said, "This time you have a vision and found out about the conspiracy of the Party in small places. I have made great contributions. I should examine the Ming Dynasty and give it a great reward. I heard that you were studying in the capital?"

"Not bad. Students' family are farming and studying and passing on their families, determined to develop their careers, and go to the capital to gain some knowledge."

Di Yi nodded: "Okay. The relationship between this case is very important. I have sorted out the files here. You will go back to Beijing tomorrow. There is no provincial school in Xuzhou. If you agree, Mr. Jiang from Yingtian Prefecture has an old relationship with me, so you can write a book. How about you go to Yingtian Prefecture to study?"

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "My husband raised me, but the students were very grateful. I was afraid-"

Di Fen waved his hand: "It's okay. Mr. Jiang likes to encourage his subordinates to go to the fore. If you go with my books, you will definitely be able to enter Yingtianfu Academy."

Du Zhongxiao thanked him repeatedly. In addition to Kaifeng Prefecture, there is the number one in Yingtian Prefecture Academy. Many famous officials now come from there, including Fan Zhongyan. There are many famous teachers there, and there are also many outstanding students. It is naturally good to be able to go there.

Du Zhongxiao knew that Di Fu gave face so much was related to He Zhongli. When he really met, He Zhongli might not be very fond of Wu Kejiu, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was still a relative of his family. Di Fu wanted to protect his son-in-law, so he had to give Du Zhongxiao benefits. Of course, it would be good to really go to Yingtian Mansion to study. There is no other place to compare with it. However, Yingtian Mansion Academy is more traditional and is really a place for learning, and Du Zhongxiao was a little displeased. He studied for the purpose of imperial examinations, and he was afraid of being frustrated when doing learning.

After leaving the hall, Du Zhongxiao was a little depressed and always felt that this result was not what he wanted. Yingtian Mansion has good teachers and friends, but there are more scholars who are dedicated to the book of sages. Is it really a suitable place to study?

Wu Kejiu was still sitting there with his head in his arms. When he saw Du Zhongxiao coming, he looked up and asked, "Little official, I have implicated you this time. Do you really not hold a grudge in your heart? Now your family is in great power in the county, and I am afraid that you will be bullied by you when you return to the village."

Du Zhongxiao said angrily: "I have a bright future and should be attentive, so I have no intention to get entangled with you! After returning home, as long as I don't come to trouble my family anymore, I will naturally be too lazy to pay attention to you. I will forget about all the past."

Wu Kejiu remained silent. Over the past few months, the business of "Qixiangju" has been getting worse and worse, and he can't hold on anymore. Especially when he doesn't sell strong wine, he naturally cannot compare with other families and can only fall day by day. Seeing that things are irreparable, Wu Kejiu had to go back to his hometown, and was afraid that Du Zhongxiao, who was proud of his youth, would cause trouble for him. At this time, he became afraid of what he had done before.
