Madam, protect me!

Chapter 44 Waiting for the Rabbit

The existence of rest days is indeed meaningful. Yesterday, I went to the Song family to attend the family dinner and played with Song Muer for most of the day. Most of the fatigue accumulated by Li Nuo for many days disappeared, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

If he could learn "relaxation and tension" earlier, he would never have worked so hard in his previous life, and he would not have come here.

For a whole day, Li Nuo tried cases in Chang'an County Court as usual.

Until today, he left the court, his life span increased by three days.

The number of cases he handled every day was gradually decreasing. After all, there were not so many cases under the feet of the emperor. The grand occasion of the past few days was just the accumulation of the past. Li Nuo estimated that in a few days, it would be good to add two days to his life for every case he solved.

So he had to find a way to create more achievements for himself.

For him, achievements are life.

After leaving the court, Li Nuo walked out of the court and waved to a figure in the yard.

Wang Xianwei ran over happily and asked with a smile on his face: "Master, what do you want me to do?"

Li Nuo said: "Take some people and go with me to a place."

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Xianwei did not ask anything and went down to gather people immediately.

Butler Wu was still thinking about the meal at home, and asked Li Nuo in confusion: "Master, are you not going home?"

Li Nuo said: "Let's go to Yunmeng Academy first."

Butler Wu did not ask Li Nuo what he was going to do at Yunmeng Academy. He was used to the master's unfathomable [inexplicable] style of doing things.

When he went out this morning, the master asked him to arrange for someone to prepare some rolling pins, and he still didn't know what they were for.

If the master went somewhere else, he might have to make some arrangements in advance to ensure his safety. Yunmeng Academy is in Chang'an City, not far from the downtown area. If there is any danger, just send a signal and the guards patrolling in the city will come soon.

...

Now in Daxia, the imperial examination is the only way to enter the officialdom.

This rule was set when Taizu founded the country, and it has not changed for hundreds of years.

Whether it is a prince or a noble, or a son of an official, if you want to seek an official position, you must pass the imperial examination. This also led to the establishment of academies of all sizes in Daxia. As the capital, Chang'an is full of academies.

The content of the imperial examination is based on Confucianism, involving etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. These six skills are impossible to master by self-study. The major academies have hired teachers who are proficient in various ways at a high price, and students can get the most comprehensive teaching in the academies.

It is precisely because of this monopoly of resources that the cost of studying in a small academy is extremely high. The students in the academy are either rich or noble. The academy is the source of court officials, and the officials in the court naturally come from powerful and noble families.

As one of the four major academies in Chang'an, Yunmeng Academy is not as famous as the other three academies, but it should not be underestimated. Few civil officials in Daxia come from Yunmeng Academy, but more than half of the military generals in the army come from here.

This is not the cradle of civil officials, but the cradle of military generals.

If the dignitaries of Daxia hope that their children will make a difference in the army in the future, they will send them to Yunmeng Academy for further study.

The gate of Yunmeng Academy faces the bustling Chang'an Street. Behind the academy is a quiet forest with crisscrossing paths in the forest. Occasionally, there are teahouses, bookstores, and music halls hidden in it.

Although it is not as lively as Chang'an Street, it is often visited by students from the academy because of the quiet environment, and the business is pretty good.

At this moment, a teahouse in the forest, the elegant pavilion on the second floor.

Li Nuo sat by the window, took a sip of tea gently, and looked out the window. From here, he could see the back door of the academy.

The time for the academy to finish school is half an hour later than that for the government office, and there are only a few people there.

Li Nuo prayed that Song Yu and the others would not stand him up.

County Magistrate Wang brought a dozen constables and yamen runners to drink tea in another private room. The tea money was paid by himself, and now they were considered to be working overtime, so he had to pay them extra overtime money. He didn't want to waste this money.

"Dong, Dong, Dong..."

As several dull bells rang, figures began to walk out of the back door of the academy.

Most of them were young people, in groups of three or two, or went into teahouses and restaurants, or into bookstores and music halls. At a certain moment, more than ten figures walked out of the academy in a mighty manner. The others saw them and retreated.

"Aren't these the Zhou brothers? What do they want to do by gathering so many people?"

"Look at their unfriendly expressions..."

"I wonder who is going to be unlucky again."

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, a group of people, led by two young men, walked towards an open space in the woods.

At this moment, several loud shouts suddenly came from under a tree in front.

"Selling rolling pins, the best rolling pins."

"The best Huanghuali wood rolling pins, if they are not strong, they are free!"

"Rolling pins are sold at a low price, only ten cents each!"

A middle-aged man wearing coarse cloth and with a simple face placed a straw mat under a tree, on which dozens of rolling pins were neatly placed.

Many people who saw this scene shook their heads secretly. This man didn't know how to do business at first glance. How could he sell rolling pins in front of the academy?

Even if he wanted to sell them, it should be in the downtown area or residential area.

The most people passing by here are students from Yunmeng Academy. Selling some pornographic banned books is profitable. Why do students need this thing?

Even if he shouted at the top of his lungs today, he couldn't sell a single one.

They were thinking like this, when suddenly a figure walked up to the man, bent down and picked up a rolling pin, waved it a few times in the air, and made a "whooshing" sound. From the sound, they could tell that this rolling pin was definitely real. Real materials.

Then, he threw down a piece of silver and said, "Here are ten. I'll reward you with the extra."

This ingot of silver is enough to buy a hundred rolling pins. The man was overjoyed, picked up the silver, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

The figure waved, and the group of people came over one after another. Everyone took a rolling pin from the man and walked towards the clearing in the woods.

Seeing this, the other students couldn't help but sigh, it's true that stupid people are lucky. This guy is selling rolling pins here. It happened that the Zhou brothers wanted to make trouble for others. This rolling pin of huanghuali wood can not only be used for rolling noodles, but also for rolling noodles. It's also suitable for fighting, and it must be very painful if it hits someone.

Not long after, another group of people walked out of the back door of the academy.

"Selling rolling pins, good rolling pins."

“The best huanghuali wood rolling pin, if it’s not strong, you don’t need to pay for it!”

When Song Yu heard the strong man's cry, he paused and walked to him. He picked up a rolling pin and weighed it. He found that it was very strong. An idea suddenly came to his mind. He turned to someone and said: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Don’t you have any money? This thing is handy and you may need it later.”

The thin and elegant young man shook his head and said, "It's best not to use it."

Song Yu was confused and asked: "Why?"

The elegant young man explained: "According to the laws of Daxia, if you fight with bare hands, you will get forty lashes; if you fight with weapons, you will get sixty lashes with the staff. Once you use this thing, it is a fight with weapons, and its nature is completely different from that of bare hands..."

Song Yu said: "Can someone named Zhou still apply for an official position?"

The conflicts between the generals' children have always been resolved by themselves. Anyone who reports to the official will be ridiculed by everyone. Besides, the Chang'an County government does not dare to interfere with the affairs of the generals.

Chen Ling shook his head and said, "It's better to consider everything carefully."

Song Yu waved his hand and said: "Forget it, just listen to my brother-in-law, so as not to let people named Zhou say that we bully them."

Then, he said to Chen Ling: "Brother-in-law is weak, just watch here, so as not to hurt you accidentally. With Wang Hua here today, nothing will go wrong."

"That's good. There are forbidden troops patrolling not far away. If you suffer a loss, I will attract the forbidden troops." Chen Ling nodded. He knew his situation. Even if he went up, he would not be able to help. On the contrary, he would Rather than becoming a burden to them, it is better to watch here and call for help as soon as the situation gets out of control.

Song Yu led a group of people and walked aggressively towards the clearing deep in the woods.

At this moment, no one knew that in the teahouse behind them, a figure stood at the second floor window of the Accord, looking at them quietly.

Butler Wu stood behind Li Nuo with a stunned expression.

He finally understood the purpose of the young master asking him to prepare a rolling pin in the morning.

That’s how it is used.

The speed of Legalist practice is related to the severity of the punishment, such as flogging, rod, imprisonment, imprisonment, and death. Each level of punishment increases the speed of practice. Therefore, within the scope allowed by the law, Legalists The sentences have always been harsher.

These people fight with bare hands, which is just flogging.

But holding a stick in your hand, changing from bare-handed to armed, has a completely different nature.

Butler Wu looked at Li Nuo with relief. What does it mean to be a biological father and son? This is a biological father and son. This move of the young master is at least three points worthy of the true inheritance of the master.

Li Nuo turned around and saw Butler Wu's strange look and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Butler Wu looked at Li Nuo with admiration and said, "Young Master's move is so good, so good!"

Li Nuo glanced at him and said angrily: "No matter how tall you are, I'm just a rolling pin seller. Selling rolling pins is not illegal..."

After saying that, he spoke again: "Go and keep an eye on them, don't let them cause a big mess."

Watching Butler Wu jump out of the window, Li Nuo picked up the tea cup again.

Although the rolling pin is made of ordinary wood and has no edge, if it hits a vital part, it will be life-threatening.

If these dudes get involved, something might really happen.

Then his sin would be great.

Although the law can't do anything to him, his conscience can't either.

With Wu Guanjia, who is at the fourth level of martial arts, here, there is no need to worry about this matter.

Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior of adding fuel to the fire is still a bit unethical, but he has to live, and only by living can he have output, can he carry forward Legalism and safeguard justice. I don't know if the "Code" can be understood, so I just took this opportunity to try it. try……
