A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 215

Wang Lidong laughed and said:

"Sir, what you said is wrong. You scholars also spend a lot of money every year."

Some people in later generations have calculated the cost of studying in the Ming Dynasty.

From being enlightened at the age of eight, after 15 years of private school study and ten years of self-study, to passing the "Jinshi" exam, it takes at least 15 years.

It is very ideal and very lucky to be able to reach the summit at the age of 33.According to statistics, in Chinese history, the average age of students who passed the "Jinshi" examination was 35 years old.

According to the above ideal and relatively conservative estimates, a person who is interested in "Jinshi and rank" must have savings of no less than 370 taels of silver (excluding daily life, activity expenses, etc.) in order to pass the test smoothly and get The emperor's hand-picked.

Zhao Ligong didn't refute Wang Lidong's words.

Why did he go back to the village and open a private school to teach after he was admitted as a scholar.

It's not because his grades are bad, but because his family can't afford him anymore.

Brother Qurong and Qugan rushed to Linhai County the next day after receiving the mission.

After finding out Qian Duofu, the owner of Qianhai Yahang, who is also Nan Shaolin's eyeliner in Beitai Island, after inquiring about relevant information, Qu Rong decided to do it that night.

Choushi (one o'clock in the morning), Linhai County Government Office
"Brother, there's no need to hurry so much, rest for one night, and it's not too late to start tomorrow."

Seeing that his senior brother was still sizing up the county government, Qu Gan continued to persuade:
"From Benefactor Qian's description, there were five people who besieged Master Qiu Guodong this time.

But we don't know where these people live at all now, why don't we find out tomorrow before doing anything? "

Qu Rong just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, and he didn't listen to his junior brother at all.

There are only 5 second-rate masters, and he alone can solve the problem.

"Junior brother, it's not that you don't know the situation in the temple, you can go back sooner if you solve this matter sooner."

"How did such a large county government find those five people?"

"As long as Lin Pingzhi, the county magistrate, is caught, the others will definitely show up. These few people were invited by his father, Lin Zhennan, to guard him."

"Amitabha, senior brother is smarter. Then senior brother, where is Lin Pingzhi?"

Qu Rong knew that his junior brother had a bad brain, so he replied patiently:
"Didn't Benefactor Qian say that I've already found a place to live in the county government house, so follow me closely."

After finishing speaking, Qu Rong ran over [-] steps to the right, saw his younger brother closely following him, with his feet on the ground, and jumped into the county office.

Seeing this, Qu Gan hurriedly jumped into the county government office.

After two or three minutes, the brothers and sisters looked at each other in blank dismay.

Just now the two of them searched all the rooms in the inner house, and found that there was only one small room with people living in it, and it was only two servants.

"Brother, didn't you just say that Lin Pingzhi lives in the inner house? Why is there no one? Isn't this the inner house?"

"It must be an inner house, there are no two houses in the yamen."

"Could it be that the news given by the benefactor of money is false? We're in an ambush?"

Speaking of this, Qu Gan immediately hid in a corner, and then carefully looked around the situation.

Senior brother Qu Rong was startled, but he was brave and skilled.

He listened carefully to the surrounding situation, and then turned around again, and found that his junior brother was worrying too much, so he let go of his heart.

Immediately, another wave of anger rose in my heart.

The Qian family obviously didn't take them seriously, and this kind of information would be wrong.

"After finishing the work, I will go to the old man Qian Duofu to settle the score.

Now let's ask those two boys, they should know where Lin Pingzhi lives, as long as he is in the county government office."

When the words came to this point, Qu Jing saw his brother suddenly fell to the ground, and then his own eyes went dark.

Just when the two jumped into the inner house, Wang Lidong, who was soundly asleep, was awakened instantly.

Then they discovered the breath of two strangers in the inner courtyard.

In the middle of the night, if you don't sleep well at home and go to the yamen, there is something really wrong.

After drawing the saber, he stood on the roof of the inner house compound in a flash.

Listening to the conversation between the two, it turned out that they were two monks from Southern Shaolin, and the target was still themselves.

As for the reason, don't think about it, it must be because of Qiu Guodong, a lay disciple.

After knowing the general situation, Wang Lidong sent the two of them to sleep.

county jail
Since Jin Daya became the warden of the prison, he discovered a problem, that is, if the prisoner is tortured too hard, the prisoner will pass out.

This made him very uncomfortable.

So I wanted to find a way to prevent this from happening.

It's a pity that there was always a lack of experimental materials, until Wang Lidong asked Zhao Ligong to bring a message, Jin Daya almost jumped up happily.

Eighteen people were arrested in Yaxing this time, and the head of the escort said everything, as long as they don't get killed.

Then he recruited a few subordinates and began to study it with great interest.

But the more he researched, he found that this matter was not simple. With his shallow knowledge alone, he couldn't even find the direction.

So he tried his best to talk, and pulled a gangster and doctor in the yamen into his group.

In order to facilitate the research, Jin Daya also moved his bedding to the prison.

This weird move immediately spread throughout the county government.

When everyone sees Jin Daya now, they all feel a little creepy, and will consciously keep a distance from him.

Not long after Wang Lidong heard the news, he felt a little surprised.

Doesn't this Jin Daya like being an official the most? Why does his interest change so quickly?

For this reason, he also went to the prison to look around, and found that the discussion between the few people was decent, but they ran a little off.

Wang Lidong reorganized the language of the sayings of later generations, and told several people.

"Boss, according to your thinking, as long as the blood supply to the head is normal, you won't be unconscious?"

"It's possible, you can try it and see if it works."

For the behavior of these people, Wang Lidong is very supportive.

What the Ming Dynasty lacked was research and development talents.

When Wang Lidong arrived at the prison with the two monks, he saw Langzhong inserting gold needles into the body of a shopkeeper of a dental shop.

"Da Ya, what is Xing Lang Zhong doing?"

Jin Daya immediately explained.

"Young escort, Lao Xing's current acupuncture method is called 'Ghost Gate Nine Needles', which he just discovered from a medical book at home.

According to what Lao Xing said, this '9 needles at the ghost gate' can make a person's heart beat [-]% faster than usual. "

After listening to Wang Lidong, he found that the torture doctor was not simple, but there are other things tonight.

"Da Ya, you're alive."

Only now did Jin Daya realize that there were two more people at his feet.

Hey, there are still two bald heads.

Wang Lidong whispered in his ear for a while.

This South Shaolin has lost so many secret books, yet still has the leisure to manage the affairs of the lay disciples, it seems that it is still too free.

Then help them find something else.

After listening to Wang Lidong's plan, Jin Daya felt that since the head of the young bodyguard became an official, it became more and more difficult.
Two days later, a piece of news spread throughout the county government.

In the middle of the night last night, the two bald thieves who were detained in the cell escaped from prison.
