Royal road

"What? Yansheng was punished!" Hearing Jian Jia's report, Li Lang's face changed drastically, and he stood up with a bang, "Did he recruit something?"

"No!" Jian Jia quickly replied, "I was watching from the sidelines, but that cheap slave only said that he sold the cold food loose, and didn't say anything else."

"That's good, that's good..." Repeated unconsciously, Li Lang heaved a sigh of relief, and then came to his senses again, "No, he must be shut up!"

Not daring to delay, Li Lang hurried to the courtyard with Jian Jia and a few personal servants.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a man being pushed down to the ground, his back was bloody and bloody as he was hit by a heavy wooden stick.Yan Sheng was hoarse, and his mind was blurred for a long time. Now that he saw Li Lang and his party, he couldn't help shouting: "Little Lang! Little Lang! Help..."

"You lowly slave! Give me a slap!" Li Lang shouted, cutting off the other party's words.The long follower behind him rushed up like a tiger like a wolf, and a short stick that was more than a foot wide was drawn to Yansheng's mouth. After just a few strokes, his teeth flew, blood was all over the ground, and those shameful words were beaten back into his stomach.

With such a heavy hand, there must be no room left.Li Lang took another step and walked into the room.At this moment, the smell of medicine in the room became stronger. The handsome man on the bed was bent over, coughing continuously, like a plum branch that had been damaged by the violent wind and rain. If there is more wind and rain, the flowers will fall everywhere.

A little indescribable joy suddenly appeared in my heart, which overwhelmed the original panic.Li Lang stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Brother, don't be angry. Those dirty and lowly slaves can be killed, and there is no need to hurt the body."

"No...he must have made other money, let him recruit it..." Liang Feng said while coughing, it wasn't all about acting, it was because of his poor health, he couldn't stop coughing.

Li Lang frowned, Liang Feng didn't care so much about external things before, could it be that he was sick and confused?He winked at Jian Jia and said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to search his room, and I will definitely recover all the money."

Jian Jia understood, turned her head and said something to the servant, and someone walked out quickly.It seemed that someone was going to finish it off, Liang Feng sneered in his heart, and he wiped his ass as soon as he came up, it was very clear who was behind the scenes.It's just that in those vague memories of the original owner, he seems to have a good impression of this cousin. Why did this dog-like guy suddenly attack him?

After a few turns in his mind, Liang Feng said out of breath, "I didn't expect... these slaves would dare to bully me like this...cough! Third brother, this evaluation...cough~~"

In this body, the most vivid memory is the evaluation of Ninth Rank officials.Clear to the point of obsession.Liang Feng simply threw it out.

Hearing the word "appraisal", Li Lang's complexion changed a little, and he patted Liang Feng's back with concern: "Brother, don't worry. There is once every three years to judge. I missed this year, and there will be opportunities in the future." If you are unwell and insist to participate, you will be looked down upon by Zhongzheng officials. This time you can be Wang Zhongzheng. If you are promoted by the Jinyang Wang family as a low-ranking official, your career will be difficult in the future. Take it easy and take care of your illness. "

Does this mean that he is not allowed to participate in the evaluation?Liang Feng took a deep breath: "No, I'm not willing..."

Li Lang raised his eyebrows, and continued to persuade: "Brother, your body is broken, what's the use of being an official. Don't forget, Rong'er is still waiting for you at home."

Liang Rong is Liang Feng's youngest son, who is not yet four years old this year.Liang Feng's parents are both dead, and his wife passed away in dystocia, leaving him the only son in the family.In order to dissuade him from participating in the judging, Li Lang moved all the children out, it seems that he really didn't want him to go.

Touching the opponent's bottom line, Liang Feng closed his eyes as if giving up.

Seeing the other party's slumped appearance, Li Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "I will have someone clean up the yard, brother, take good care of your illness, if you need anything, Jian Jia..."

"Let her go." Liang Feng shouted in a low voice without even opening his eyes.

Li Lang choked, and immediately realized that this was probably a joke, and he became angry from embarrassment.Now that the overall situation is settled, there is no need to get entangled in it, he immediately smiled and said: "Then let Green Bamboo take good care of you. If you need anything, you can send her to find me."

Liang Feng didn't reply, and the frown between his brows deepened a bit.Looking at his half-dead cousin lying on the bed, Li Lang only felt that his heart had settled down, and he stood up leisurely and said, "You should rest first. Luzhu, take good care of your lord."

Soon, all the irrelevant people left, leaving only Lu Zhu standing by the couch.There was silence in the room, and the pain was less unbearable.Liang Feng lay on the bed, silently recalling Li Lang's expression just now.He has been able to identify the murderer, but the motive of the crime is still unclear.The man didn't want him to participate in the judging?What's at stake here?Could it be said that his participation will have any negative impact on Li Lang?

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Luzhu, can I be promoted to top grade?"

It stands to reason that Luzhu is only a ten-year-old child, no matter how clever he is, he will not be clear about these official affairs.Liang Feng just asked casually, but she immediately bit her lip, and replied in a low voice: "Of course! Mr. Lang is handsome and flawless, with a charming demeanor, of course he should be top-ranking! Woohoo, it's all slaves who didn't take care of me well, if it wasn't for Sick, how could Lang Jun miss the Gathering? As long as Lang Jun is here, anyone will be compared!"

Liang Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.Girl, the selection of officials is based on wealth and ability, right?What does it have to do with being handsome or not?Wait, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Go get a mirror."

Luzhu hesitated for a moment, then came back from the outside holding a bronze mirror, handed the mirror to Liang Feng with a very unbearable expression, and said in a low voice: "Mr. got up..."

Liang Feng stared at the polished bronze mirror, and remained silent for a while.What the hell is this bad complexion?What does it look like when you look good? !The bronze mirror was not clear enough, which made the image in the mirror a bit hazy. Even so, that face was not something that could be described by words like "handsome" or "butter boy", but a real "beauty".One more is gorgeous, one less is vulgar.However, this delicate, feminine beauty does not compromise masculinity, but constitutes a gender-crossing charm.Coupled with that unbearable Luo Qi's sick and weak figure, it is even more unforgettable.

It turns out that she really has a "face like a good girl" appearance.Liang Feng was stunned to death, not to mention his gorgeous chest and abdominal muscles, and even his face turned into such a disastrous figure, how can it make people die? !However, Lei Guilei, the motive for committing the crime that he could not guess just now, now finally has the answer.

Green Bamboo is right.In other dynasties, the selection of officials may be based on literary talents, talents, and even fathers, but this is not another era, it is the Wei and Jin Dynasties with "appearance like Pan'an" and "seeing to kill Wei Jie"!It is a strange dynasty in the history books that would write close-ups of handsome guys, and girls would throw fruit on the street to chase stars.At any rate, he had also chased after a few girls who studied literature and history, and of course he knew what the girls thought of celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

With just this face and the wealth of a "Tinghou", as long as he is not an idiot, Liang Feng will be treated favorably by the examiner.However, Li Lang did not inherit his mother's good looks. Against the backdrop of this good cousin, his plain face is simply a tragedy.

wrong?Liang Feng frowned, this is not a reason to kill, he thought for a while, and sighed softly: "If I die unfortunately, Rong'er..."

Luzhu has been secretly looking at her husband's face, watching him go from shock to depression to frowning, thinking that he was hurt by the appearance in the mirror, at this moment the heartache is almost broken, and he quickly comforted: "Lang Don’t worry, Jun Mo, it’s just that you’re not walking properly, you’ll get better. Rong’er and Xiao Langjun only have you as a close relative, even if it’s for Xiao Langjun, you must get well soon.”

Well, the last piece of the puzzle is also complete.Liang Feng couldn't help laughing wryly from the bottom of his heart, the motive for committing the crime was really weird enough.Originally, the conflict of interests between Liang Feng and Li Lang was not serious, but this year's sudden decision to participate in the Ninth Rank Official Evaluation made Li Lang feel bad in his heart.More importantly, Liang Feng is facing the dilemma of being deprived of his title, so he must be more concerned about this evaluation, which makes Li Lang, who also participated in the selection, face severe challenges.

He didn't want to be compared to his cousin, and he couldn't prevent him from participating in the selection in a fair manner, so poisoning became a necessary means.Thinking about it more deeply, if Liang Feng died of poisoning, his title would probably be passed directly to his youngest son, Liang Rong.In this way, as Liang Feng's aunts, Liang Shu and Li Lang had an excuse to intervene in the Liang family's housework in the name of raising their nephews and grandchildren.If you want money, have money, and want to be famous, isn't it a good deal.

All crimes are inseparable from money and sex.However, just because of one face, it was so cruel that it was ridiculous.The feeling of irony and irony dissipated.Liang Feng glanced out of the window, the screaming in the courtyard had stopped long ago, Yan Sheng should have been dragged down, whether it was killing with a stick or other means, silence is certain.What about Li Lang?Just let him get what he wants?

With a stern smile on his pale lips, Liang Feng said, "Call Ah Liang over here, I have something to tell you."

■

"You killed Yan Shengzhang?" Looking at her son kneeling in front of her, Liang Shuliu frowned slightly, somewhat unexpectedly.

"Liang Zixi broke out suddenly and said he wanted to exchange cold food powder for money. My son was afraid that Yan Sheng would reveal his words, so he got someone to drag him out." Li Lang replied in a low voice, "Mother, did that man find something? "

Liang Shu also thought of this. After pondering for a moment, she sneered: "It's okay. He won't be able to get up for a while, so he will definitely not be able to participate in this gathering. Zhuangzi of the Liang family is the second, the most important thing. You can't let Liang Feng show up at the Gathering. Without him, other families may not have any outstanding figures. It is not too difficult for you to promote a "second-rank talent". Only with a sixth-rank starting official can you enter Served in the General's Mansion."

The general mentioned here refers to General Ningbei and Sima Teng, governor of Bingzhou.Now the kings are fighting each other, fighting one after another for ten years, breaking the mountains and rivers, and the people are in dire straits.Both Luoyang and Yecheng were in turmoil. Liang Shu thought very clearly that the kings were killing each other to the death. Sima Teng, who was far away in Bingzhou, did not participate and still retained a lot of strength.Besides, Sima Teng has a reputation of being humble and being able to use his ability. No matter how he develops in the future, it is always right to climb this big tree.

It's a pity that the Li family is not a famous family, and Li Lang's father and brother are even more mediocre in official positions, so they are not eligible for the evaluation of "Second Grade Family".If they can't get the "Second Grade Talent", they won't be able to touch the threshold of the General's Mansion at all.Sima Teng is now at a time when he is eager to hire people. If he misses this evaluation, it will be too late after three years.

Li Lang's eyes flashed with fire, and he said: "As long as Liang Zixi is gone, I will definitely be able to win the top rank, and I will live up to my mother's painstaking efforts!"

Looking at her swearing son, Liang Shu's eyes flashed with relief.Compared with her lustful husband and the eldest son with embroidered pillows, this youngest son is her biggest support now.The Li family can't continue to decline. If they can't produce a clean official, after a few generations, let alone the gentry, they don't even have to be local tyrants.Her majestic daughter did not marry the Li family to be a peasant woman!

It will not be too late to clean up Liang Feng after the election of an official.The Liang family's family business must not be wasted in the hands of that sick man!Liang Shu squeezed her palms secretly, and patiently told her: "Wang Zhongzheng loves Buddhism and is good at music. Langer, don't go out for dinner these few days, and study those Buddhist scriptures and piano scores at home. Two days After that comes Yaji, which cannot be ignored.”

For this evaluation, the Li family really spent a lot of effort, how could Li Lang not know.He nodded solemnly: "Mother, don't worry!"

Without the scourge of Liang Zixi, Li Zhongming would not pay attention to those ignorant mediocrities.As long as there is no Liang Feng!

The author has something to say: Jiupin Zhongzheng is called Jiupin, but in fact there are only upper and lower grades.Because of the royal family, there is no first rank, and the top rank refers to the second rank.Only by being appraised as the second rank can one obtain a Qingliu family official, which becomes the starting point for promotion to a senior official.And the lower rank can only get the turbid official, and it is rare to be able to climb to such a high position as the Sangong Jiuqing.That's why there is a saying that "the upper class has no poor family, and the lower class has no powerful family".

In the range of the second rank, it is divided into three grades: "Zhuoran second rank", "Second rank second rank" and "Second rank talent".

"Zhuoran Second Rank" can only be in the pockets of top wealthy families such as honored relatives, royal relatives and high-ranking gentry, while "Second Rank" is the middle-ranking gentry or the upper rank based on their ancestors' official titles.As for the "second-rank talents", they are low-level gentry and local tyrants, who rely on their outstanding talents to be listed as top-rank.

The Li family is on the verge of decline, so what they are looking for is "second-rank talent".And the Liang family once had a great minister (one of the nine ministers), who was also granted a knighthood. Logically speaking, he could barely be regarded as "second rank", and at worst he should have a "second rank".That's why Li Lang regarded Liang Feng as a thorn in his side.

As for the chaotic fight among the kings of the Sima family, it is good for everyone to know the outline.In short, Sima Yan's brain is not good enough, and he feels that only relatives are reliable, so he distributes all military power to his brothers and nephews.Then after he kicked his legs and passed away, he left a stupid son as the emperor (that is, the Jin Hui Emperor Sima Zhong who "why not eat minced meat"). Hui Emperor's wife Jian Nanfeng took power, and in order to eliminate dissidents, he moved Runan Wang Sima Liang as a backing. Kill it when you're done, and finally get rid of it.Several princes of the Sima family started a battle for the throne, known as the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in history.

But just read these backgrounds, Mr. Liang is not familiar with Jin history, follow him to see the world XD
