but.

Li Er had already left the poetry meeting with Qin Mu and others.

Followed by.

The old Confucian scholar on the ring looked at Jing Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "Jing Xiu, since that gentleman has left, I will give you the money."

Hearing this, Jing Xiu frowned slightly, then shook his head, "I lost, I can't take the money."

When the words fell, he also jumped down.

"You..." The old Confucian scholar looked at Jing Xiu who was leaving, and shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Jing Xiu was short of money, so he decided to give him the money without authorization, but he still refused.

This kid...

The stubbornness makes people feel distressed.

at the same time.

Li Er, Qin Mu and the others were walking by Taihu Lake.

Li Er was in front of him, frowning and worrying deeply.

Qin Mu and others followed behind him, knowing that he was worrying about Jing Xiu.

Just now he said that he would go to the Jiaofang after the poetry meeting.

It is estimated that Li Er is not in the mood at this time.

Cheng Yaojin comforted at the side: "Second Master, why do you have any hesitation about this matter, just ask Jing Xiu to find out the situation, whoever is responsible will be done."

"Tsk..." Yu Chigong said from the side: "What do you know? Things are not as simple as you think? The second master still has to consider the whole Tang Dynasty."

"Since something like this can happen in Chizhou, it might happen elsewhere."

Listen to the quarrel between the two.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu and pondered, "What do you think we should do now?"

Qin Mu said indifferently: "Actually, there is nothing complicated about this matter, and we can't listen to one side's opinions. We first go to the market to inquire about it."

Li Er nodded, "That's true, let's go and have a look."

Afterwards, Li Er turned his head and headed towards the city.

Cheng Yaojin was depressed, it seemed that he could not listen to this song for the time being.

Yuchi Gong followed behind without speaking.

Today Li Er is not in a good mood, if he is not allowed to mess up, Yu Chigong will be content.

Jing Xiu is considered a celebrity in Chizhou City.

So the location of his home is not difficult to find out.

commonplace.

Li Er and the others shuttled past.

Although Chizhou City is prosperous, there are poverty-stricken places in every city.

The workshop where Jingxiu lives is relatively dilapidated and the environment is relatively poor.

Li Er and the others parted ways and searched around. Jing Xiu was indeed as rumored. Apart from his ugly appearance, he had almost no major shortcomings.

However, it was this appearance that almost sentenced him to death.

Under the leadership of an old man.

Li Er and others came to Jingxiu's house.

Although a small courtyard is old, it feels very clean.

Boom, boom, boom...

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon.

creak...

The courtyard door opened.

Jing Xiu poked his head out from the door, wearing a mask on his face, saw Li Er beside him, his eyes glowed, and he asked in surprise, "Why...how is it you?"

Li Er looked at it and smiled, "I heard that you are not short of money? Why don't you want the reward from the Poetry Society?"

Jing Xiu said ashamedly: "Your poetic talent is unparalleled, Jing Xiu is willing to bow down, how can he be qualified to receive the reward money."

Li Er nodded slightly, but he had a backbone.

"how?"

"Aren't you going to let us go in and have a sit?"

"This..." Jing Xiu hesitated first, then nodded and said, "Okay, gentlemen, please come in."

Then, several people entered the yard.

Jingxiu is an orphan, he grew up eating a lot of food, worked hard since he was a child, and kept the yard in good order.

Since it was midsummer and the weather was hot, everyone sat in the yard to cool off.

Jing Xiu made tea and served it to Li Er and the others, showing the friendship of the landlord.

However, they could tell that Jing Xiu was living in a very difficult situation.

Jing Xiu brought tea to them, sat aside, and asked, "Sirs, what happened to you today?"

Li Er replied: "We heard that you asked for money to see a doctor for an old woman in the market. It just so happens that the little gentleman next to us is proficient in medical skills and can help."

Hearing this, Jing Xiu was overjoyed and asked, "Really...really?"

Although he could tell that Qin Mu was not very old.

But Li Er recited casually, there will be times when riding the wind and waves, hanging the clouds and sailing to help the sea, this kind of poet.

Therefore, he believed that Li Er would not lie to him, and most importantly, there was no need to lie to him.

"Of course." Li Er nodded, "We can go there in a while, but I have something to ask you."

Jing Xiu frowned deeply. He looked at Li Er and the others and felt that they were extraordinary. They might be important people with status. He tentatively asked, "How many of you are from Chang'an?"

Li Er pondered: "Accurately speaking, he is from Yushitai."

Yushitai?

Jing Xiu was shocked, his eyes were moist, and a sense of sadness and grievance welled up in his heart.

It seems that the people who make up their own minds have come.

Look at him like this.

Li Er and the others felt distressed, not knowing how much indifference and injustice he had suffered.

Li Er comforted: "You don't need to worry, we have already understood what happened to you, don't worry, we are here just for you."

"If you are truly the number one scholar, I will make the decision for you and get back everything you deserve."

Jing Xiu nodded again and again, "Thank you, my lords, you can ask."

Li Er asked: "Just tell me about your experience."

Jing Xiu regained his composure.

He is a native of Chizhou.

Both of his parents died since he was a child, and he was lonely and helpless, relying on the help of fellow villagers in the square room to make a living.

Originally, he was not ugly, but also very handsome.

It was just to save a girl who was besieged by the fire, so she was burnt beyond recognition.

Even so, he did not give up on himself, and still studied hard in the cold window, striving to be the number one scholar to repay his fellow villagers.

The girl he rescued was from a rich family, and they gave him a lot of books.

After all, the emperor pays off.

Jing Xiu was first selected as a scholar, and then selected as a candidate, but he did not expect to be removed from the list of candidates on the day the list was announced.

He went to argue, was told that he was too ugly, and was humiliated.

Jing Xiu couldn't understand how he would ruin his career for such a ridiculous reason.

It is said that the order was personally issued by the governor of Chizhou.

What made Jingxiu even more regretful was that the girl had disappeared since then.

Chapter 1178 Li Er was furious and entered the governor's mansion (2/3)

Listening to Jing Xiu's story about what happened to him.

Li Er and the others felt regret and resentment.

It turned out that Jing Xiu was not born ugly, but because he was burned while saving someone, his face was ruined.

Shouldn't such a person be commended?

Shouldn't such a person receive special courtesy?

Where is fairness?

Where is justice?

boom!

Li Er slapped the table angrily, his eyes were scarlet.

"Damn it!"

"This group of bastards who eat dry food!"

"Jingxiu, you don't have to worry about this matter, Lord, we will do it for you, girl, we will find it for you."

"I don't believe it, Datang has nothing to reason with?"

At this moment, he was furious.

Cheng Yaojin and the others were filled with righteous indignation.

Such officials are not much different from corrupt officials, they are all corrupt.

Hear this.

Jing Xiu hastily thanked him and said: "Thank you, sir, thank you for making decisions for the villain..."

The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally broke out at this moment.

No matter how hard life was, even though his face was completely changed by the fire, he never complained.

But it was hard for him to accept such discrimination and unfair treatment from the government.

If even the imperial court cannot be trusted.

Jing Xiu really felt that the world was meaningless.

Followed by.

Li Er continued: "Let's not talk about this matter first, you don't say you want to see a doctor for the aunt, let's go to the doctor first, and this matter will be decided by you tomorrow."

Jing Xiu hurriedly got up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, my lords."

Immediately, under his leadership.

Li Er and the others came to a house not far away.

The house is not big, but it is very clean, and the layout is actually similar to Jing Xiu's house.

Qin Mu asked: "Mr. Jingxiu, it's not like my aunt has no children."

Hearing this, Jing Xiu was startled, and asked in confusion, "My lord, you...how did you know that?"

Li Er and the others also looked at Qin Mu.
