Fast through the cannon fodder of the mission to counterattack

Chapter 172
The boy trotted up to some of his companions who were looking at him, and said solemnly:
"I have something to do, I will play with you later."

After speaking, the boy looked back, and Meng Li was no longer there.

The boy was surprised and looked at his companion.

A child said, "When you were talking just now, that sister left."

The boy pursed his lips: "Okay."

After finishing speaking, the boy put the letter in his bosom, tightly clutched the broken silver in his hand, and ran to the address that Meng Lisuo gave him.

According to Meng Li's arrangement, he knocked on the door, dropped the letter and ran away.

Because the boy was short, small and inconspicuous, he ran around the inn, but no one noticed the boy.

Jiang Tiancai was reading in the room shaking his head, when he heard the knock on the door, Jiang Tiancai glanced at the book boy.

The book boy understood and opened the door, suspicious, no one was there.

Looking down, there was a letter lying on the ground.

The book boy picked up the letter, handed it to Jiang Tiancai, and said:

"Young master, there is no one, only this."

Jiang Tiancai frowned, thinking it was a letter from Jiang Yizhi, put down the book, and opened the letter.

Surprisingly, it wasn't Jiang Yizhi's letter.

It was a crooked handwriting.

It only said that if you want to pass the exam, you can go to a place at the time agreed by the other party. As long as he pays, you can know the exam topics in advance and provide the articles used in the exam.

To be honest, Jiang Tiancai felt that the person who wrote the letter seemed to have this ability from the words.

The most important item in the examination is the proposition set by the imperial court, allowing candidates to express their opinions around this topic.

Whoever has a unique insight and a good article is passed by the examiner.

Jiang Tiancai frowned, closed the letter warily and put it in his arms.

After thinking for a second, he raised his foot and was ready to go out.

The book boy asked, "My lord, where are you going?"

Jiang Tiancai said without turning his head, "Just wait for me in the room."

After speaking, Jiang Tiancai went downstairs, grabbed a waiter in the lobby and asked:
"Who came in just now?"

Xiao Er let out a hi, smiled and said:

"Guest officer, what you said is interesting. This store is an inn, so there is a constant stream of people coming and going."

Jiang Tiancai looked at Xiao Er seriously, and said:
"I mean, did someone special come in?"

Xiaoer put the towel on his shoulders and said to Jiang Tiancai:
"I said guest officer, as long as the people who enter our inn are special people to the little ones."

Jiang Tiancai: "...OK."

The bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth, and there is less than one piece.

Seeing that nothing came out of the question, Jiang Tiancai walked to the counter, where the shopkeeper was holding the account book and making calculations.

The shopkeeper is a fat middle-aged man, without raising his head, his eyes rolled up, looking at Jiang Tiancai:
"Guest officer, what are your orders?"

The shopkeeper remembered that this man seemed to be someone who wanted to know his whereabouts.

The nobles in the capital walked all over the place, and they didn't know who this person had offended.

Jiang Tiancai looked at the innkeeper, and lamented that people's hearts are not ancient, even an innkeeper in the capital city is too arrogant, and he doesn't look at people seriously.

Jiang Tiancai held his breath in his heart, thinking of his father's instructions when he went out, not to offend the innkeeper like this easily.

Because I don't know who the backer behind him is, and this is the property of that wealthy family.

Jiang Tiancai forced a smile, took out some silver, put it on the counter, and asked:
"Shopkeeper, did someone come in within half a quarter of an hour just now?"

The shopkeeper just raised his head and glanced at Jiang Tiancai, and took away the silver on the counter.

The shopkeeper repeated: "Half a quarter of an hour?"

After thinking about it, I really recalled it, and then said:
"It doesn't."

"But there are a few who went out from here."

"Is there anyone special who went out?"

"Everyone who goes out is a guest here, you may not have seen them all." The shopkeeper laughed.

He asked one more question: "My lord, what are you doing asking about this?"

Jiang Tiancai was disappointed and didn't want to say more, he waved his hand and said:

"That's all, nothing, thank you shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper doesn't care:
"Well, if you have anything to do, please tell me."

Jiang Tiancai said hello.

He glanced around the inn, found no suspicious person, and returned to the room.

Jiang Tiancai went back to the room, called the book boy out, and lay on the bed alone, thinking about it over and over again.

It's not the first time that the subject of the test has been leaked. I heard that the court had investigated such a case before.

At that time, it was to sell the titles, but they were all for people with channels.

But Jiang Tiancai did not expect to fall on his head.

Will there be fraud?
It also provides articles.

Immediately, Jiang Tiancai laughed at himself, thinking that he thinks highly of himself too much.

Who would go to such lengths to punish him?
Even if he offended the Hou's Mansion, the Hou's Mansion beat him to vent their anger, even if they wanted to kill him or something, they would have done it long ago, there was no need for this.

Jiang Tiancai felt that the other party simply needed money.

As for silver, he has no shortage at all.

But if caught, the punishment will be severe.

But if you can't find out, spend some money and prepare such a share, it's a safe thing to do.

If he doesn't use it, he will lose some money at most, but if he can use it, then his fate will be rewritten.

Jiang Tiancai was so entangled that he couldn't care less about reading.

And Meng Li returned to the place where he promised to wait for the spring green.

Chunlu held a bunch of candied haws and looked around in a panic. When she saw Meng Li, Chunlu felt a stone in her heart drop.

Said to Meng Li:

"Miss, where have you been?"

Meng Li said:

"Just now I saw an old lady selling the gadgets she wove, so I went to buy another one."

"As a result, there were too many styles, and I got confused and wasted some time."

Chunlu couldn't complain to her master, she could only say:
"Okay, miss, what can I tell the servant."

Meng Li nodded: "Yeah."

Meng Li looked at the candied haws and said:

"Let's go home."

Spring Green said yes.

Meng Li and Chun Lu returned to the Hou's Mansion, and met Xuanyang Hou when passing by the front yard.

Meng Li saluted: "Daughter has seen Daddy."

Xuan Yanghou nodded and asked:

"Go out shopping?"

Meng Li nodded, Xuan Yang Hou glanced at Meng Li, hooked his lips and said:
"I see that you are in a good mood, very good, very pleased to be your father."

Meng Li knew that what Xuanyanghou was talking about was about Prince Lin'an's son.

During this period of time, she didn't make a fuss about retiring the engagement, which made Xuan Yanghou think that she didn't mind about it.

What's the use of making trouble.

In the past, it was a possibility for the Hou Mansion to withdraw the engagement. At least now, even if King Lin An sent someone to discuss the wedding date, the Hou Mansion would consider it again.

Put it off for a while, and give yourself a little more time.

The marriage must be withdrawn.

Meng Li sighed and said quietly:

"Yes, Daddy, nothing is difficult in this world, as long as you are willing to give up."

Xuanyanghou: "...you are right."
