Zhu Xiongying always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

"Grandpa, the man in front looks familiar."

"The grandson thinks there must be something wrong!"

Zhu Xiongying made a decisive decision and turned to Zhu Yuanzhang without hesitation.

"Which one?"

Old Zhu looked along the place Zhu Xiongying pointed, only to see a man in white hurried past and disappeared at the end of the alley.

Although Lao Zhu didn't see any problems.

But since his baby grandson said it.

Then he must pay attention.

then.

Old Zhu said to his side:

"He Li, go and track down that person, and come back to report after finding out the identity of that person."

He Li took the order and was about to urge his horse to go forward.

Zhu Xiongying reminded:

"Don't scare the snake away, that person is walking, and you should also walk and follow..."

"Remember, try to hide yourself and see if you can get some information!"

He Li cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Then he got off his horse, performed lightness kung fu and chased after him.

By this time.

Zhu Xiongying had already completely remembered who the man in white was.

This is also the reason why he asked He Li to inquire carefully...

Because the man in white...

It was Wu Heng who I just saw in the village outside the city!

Chapter 130 Why the Imperial Examination Office

At this time, Zhu Xiongying gradually became suspicious.

Wu Heng was clearly ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to be handed over to the Hangzhou Yamen for interrogation together with those scholar villagers.

Why can they return to Hangzhou City one step ahead of them?

The prefect of Hangzhou just let him go?

Zhu Xiongying must clarify these doubts.

and so.

He asked He Li to try not to reveal his stalking, and to get some information.

……

the other side.

Wu Heng glanced at the end of the alley with lingering fear, frowned at the extremely coquettishly dressed lady beside him and said:

"Mother Wu, it was too dangerous just now!"

"I was just released by Cai Zhifu, so I can't be seen by the emperor...how did you take me on the road?"

"Fortunately, the emperor should not have been alerted, otherwise it would be a big disaster!"

The woman called Wu Ma laughed and said:

"No way, if you don't take the main road, you have to take a detour. How long will it take to go back?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, we both share the same surname, can the slave family harm you? We are mixed among many common people, so the emperor can still have sharp eyes?"

After hearing this, Wu Heng deliberately took a step outside, away from Mama Wu, and said with disgust on his face:

"Mother Wu, don't talk nonsense, who has the same surname as your family?"

"We just happen to have the surname Wu!"

"You are a lowly citizen, but I am a decent citizen!"

Wu Ma's face changed slightly when she heard what he said.

But the life experience of most of her life made her calm down the anger in her heart quickly, and said with a smile:

"Hey, why is Mr. Wu so angry? I just say something casually, so don't take it to heart."

Wu Heng's face looked better now.

He snorted coldly and continued walking forward.

walked for a while.

The two turned back to the main road again.

And on this road.

The most eye-catching one is a brothel called "Caizailou".

Wu Ma, who is leading the way beside Wu Heng, is the bustard of this "Picking House".

"Come, come, Mr. Wu, this way please."

As soon as he entered the Picking Building, Mama Wu guided Wu Heng and introduced suitable girls to him.

soon.

Wu Heng chose a girl, and went into the elegant room on the second floor.

He Li, who was in charge of tracking Wu Heng, frowned when he saw Wu Heng enter such a place.

Then I discovered that there seemed to be a wall in the backyard of the picking building, and it happened to be able to climb out of the window on the second floor through this wall.

He Li waited until there were not many people, sneaked into the backyard quietly, performed lightness kung fu, and successfully climbed up to the wall.

After looking for a few rooms.

He Li found Wu Heng who was drinking with the girl.

inside the house.

The girl was pouring wine for Wu Heng and asked:

"Mr. Wu has not been here for a long time, and the servants thought that the son had forgotten me."

Wu Heng happily drank his wine, and smiled at the girl in front of him:

"Xiaoqing, you Angkor and I have made a lot of money this time."

"This time, let alone to patronize you, even if it's to redeem you, it's not a problem!"

talking.

Wu Heng ostentatiously took out a large pile of Ming Dynasty banknotes and a heavy cloth bag from his sleeve.

The cloth bag was opened, and it was full of gold ingots.

"Wow!"

Xiaoqing exclaimed in admiration, picked up a gold ingot and took a bite.

"Where did you get so much money?"

In Xiaoqing's impression, Wu Heng is just a poor scholar who only knows how to cheat and deceive. How could he suddenly have so much money.

Wu Heng sneered, pointed at the banknotes and gold on the table with the folding fan in his hand, and said proudly:

"The money was all given to me by the Ding family."

Xiaoqing wondered:

"Why did the Ding family give you so much money?"

Wu Heng laughed and said:

"You don't expect me to speak well in front of the emperor with my three-inch tongue."

"It just so happens that I am also from the same village as those troublemakers, so what I say is naturally more convincing."

"When this matter is over, the Ding family will give me a bag of gold. At that time, I can redeem your body...Let's go back to the countryside to make a fortune and live happily."

Xiaoqing shook her head and said with disdain:

"Tch, I thought you found some way to make money."

"It turned out that I was just helping the Ding family to make a vote and then stop... That's not enough money, I don't want to go with you... Do you know how much money I spend every month?"

Wu Heng was a little anxious. He was most afraid of being looked down upon by women, so he said angrily:

"What are you afraid of? You can suffer if you follow me?!"

"The money is only for now. Wait until I... wait for me to pass the examination and become an official, and I will naturally have money!"

Listen to him.

Xiaoqing froze for a moment, then smiled.

Laughing very irritatingly.

"Are you cheating on a three-year-old? Are you still taking the merit test?"

"It's been more than ten years since the Ming Dynasty held an imperial examination. Don't think that I don't know anything because I'm in a brothel... You should save this method to deceive other sisters!"

Wu Heng slapped the table angrily and said:

"Don't underestimate me! I have asked the emperor to reopen the imperial examination, and His Majesty has already agreed to me!"

"You just wait, when the imperial examination is reopened, I will be admitted!"

"At that time, even if you beg me, I won't come to Caizai Building again!"

Seeing that he is the benefactor who spent money after all, Xiaoqing didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so she comforted her softly:

"Good good..."

"The slave family is waiting for you to come to me after you pass the exam."

"If you really win the lottery...you don't need the son to spend money, the money saved by the slave family is enough for the slave family to redeem yourself, and then the slave family voluntarily follows you, okay?"

Wu Heng likes soft things rather than hard things.

Seeing Xiaoqing's attitude complimented him, he became elated.

I really think that I am an imperial examination candidate.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing, I love you so much, when I win the election, I will come back to redeem you..."

"We scholars, Han Chuang have studied hard for ten years, for what?"

"Isn't it just to get promoted and get rich?"

"You haven't seen those officials who spend money like running water. Who doesn't envy them?"

"When I become an official, I will find a place far away from the emperor. Isn't it just me who has the final say? A random search will be enough for my whole family to eat and drink! Hahahaha..."

Wu Heng was drinking while talking, the more he said, the more outrageous he became.

As for Xiaoqing, he continued to pour wine for him.

"Then let's say..."

The corner of Xiaoqing's eyes slightly turned the corner of the window, and then asked:

"Mr. Wu, you want to take the imperial examination and become an official just to make money?"

"Don't you want to do something for the common people?"

Wu Heng's cheeks were flushed from drinking at this time, hehe sneered and said:
