"Going to mess around again just now?" As soon as I stepped into his study, Kui Huangyi sat behind the desk and said coldly.

"You are very well informed." I took off my veil.

"You've made such a big fuss, it's hard to know. It's true to say you're a lunatic, and you can't use a more subtle approach? Do you have to beat your opening gong so loudly? You're a little girl whose brain hasn't matured yet. Is it necessary to make things vigorous to be considered face-saving? Huh?" He opened his mouth with a series of reprimands, "Idiot! Use your brain!"

"Anyway, I took the bright route. As long as the other party doesn't know that I have a connection with Yushitai, then I will be fine." I glanced at him, "The other party will only think that it is a brain that hasn't matured yet. The little girl is messing around, it won’t be a bad thing. It can also attract your attention, killing two birds with one stone.” I sat down at the round table in the center of the study.

"I'm still wrong about you? Huh?" He snorted heavily, "When I lose my temper, I push things to this point and mess around, nonsense!"

I poured myself a cup of tea and didn't look at him.

"Gone with your reputation?"

"It's gone anyway, so don't let the false name restrict you. You taught me this before."

"Sit me here."

I glanced at his cold face, and after making sure it was safe, I walked over with my teacup in my hand and sat opposite him.

He snorted again, "Are you still afraid?"

"I'm not afraid, but a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall." I was suddenly startled.Jietong often said this sentence, usually when he ran away with Feixiang after getting into trouble.

"Who do you think I am? Will I still beat you?" said the guy who often said he wanted to hang me.

I came back to my senses and told him about my plan for things under the city.

He crossed his arms and thought for a while, "You asked the Hong family to limit the supply of goods to Huajie because you wanted to wait for them to gradually feel that the attitude of the Hong family was wrong, and then take the initiative to talk to you. Why don't you let the Hong family cut it off immediately? Supply?"

"First, if there seems to be no way to control the supply of goods, they will think more and more, and they will have a certain degree of psychological pressure before confirming that I am playing tricks; second, I don't want to cause trouble for the Hong family. That's it."

"That idiot Hong Lishen is only useful for that."

I touched the rim of the cup and said nothing.There was a moment of silence in the room.

"Are you angry?" Kui Huangyi asked after a while.

I whispered: "He helped you, why do you still talk like that?"

"I didn't ask him to help."

child?I said angrily: "But it turned out that your case also borrowed his strength."

He paused, pursed his lips with difficulty, and finally said with a sullen face: "It's right to use the available strength to handle the case. These are two different things. I still can't deny that Hong Lishen is a fool."

"..." The child said, "One more question, why did Li Shen provoke you?"

"He's so stupid."

aha?I cover my forehead.Obviously Hong Lishen is a genius... Well, to be more precise, it is a genius whose behavior and temperament are sometimes not considered normal but seem to be stupid.I sighed softly, "Anyway, the Hong family will be my benefactor from now on, can you please at least not say such things in front of me?"

He raised his eyebrows, "So what if I say it? He's stupid and can't let people say it? All he knows is to cling to the eldest brother's family and Zheng Youshun all day long, or go to the Imperial Forest Army with your righteous brother Guan Feixiang to steal wine and drink. Leading Huang Fengzhu to scare passers-by, causing trouble during the national examination, is simply a pest more annoying than the cicadas in summer. It is also a super troublesome giant-level pest that can walk and jump up, and strong insecticides can't get rid of it."

...well, a merciless way of saying it.

Sadly I can't deny his words.

I covered my face helplessly.

"...Let's not talk about this for now," I changed the topic, "How is it with you?"

"Shen Jingkang, the inquirer of Dali Temple, is dead."

I froze.It was the officer who confronted me when I went to the crime scene that day, and was finally forced by me to take out the dormitory entry and exit record book.

Kui Huangyi said in a calm voice: "He found something that shouldn't be investigated, and people silenced him. Thanks to him, the abnormal death of an official gave Yushitai a reason to enter Dali Temple for search. He I have already got what I have found, and I will follow his clues to catch up, and there will be results within half a month.”

"Really." This seemingly irresponsible official finally died for his duty.Exciting generals, using generals, and in the end, I killed him.

Kui Huangyi stood up, went to the round table and poured a cup of hot tea, then walked back, took away the cold tea from my hand, and stuffed the hot tea into my hand.I didn't want to say something pretentious after killing someone, so I could only keep my face away in silence.

"Next time you do something, use your brains. It doesn't matter who is involved. It doesn't matter who dies. You must never get involved."

I didn't speak.I don't know what to say.It was because I was overwhelmed by anger and didn't consider things thoroughly enough that I got involved with an official who could have saved himself wisely.

"After the case is finalized, Shen Jingkang's achievements will be reported, his widow will be taken care of, and his son will also receive financial support." Kui Huangyi said standing beside me.

"Can you give me his information?" I wanted to take care of his family myself.It's not a door-to-door apology, and I guess the other party won't want to see me, but I can do something without showing up.

Kui Huangyi suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Are you really not trusting the court system at all?"

"Do you believe it?" I raised my eyes to look at him, "How many procedures have gone through for the pension of the widow of an official? How much is left? If a widow has some unreasonable relatives, it is possible for her son to be robbed of her wealth. Also Husband's inheritance, family land, if she wants to remarry, etc., just a word of money can kill them."

He snorted, "I'll just see how many things you can do. You don't look stupid, but the truth is that you are hopelessly naive and stupid."

The suffocation in my chest was suffocated again, and then I let it out all of a sudden, and drooped my shoulders weakly, "...can you please use some more polite words at this time? Really, I'm begging you."

"It's not enough to vent your anger without using such words, you idiot."

I covered my face, "The flag moves when the wind blows. Is it the movement of the wind, or is it not good for the flag to stand still?" You are not good enough, but you blame me?

"Of course the flag blocking the way is not good."

"...Master Aoi is wise." You can, you are right, you are all right.

After finishing the tea in my hand, I stood up and said goodbye.When he sent me to the back door, he asked me: "Zhang Zelan, what did you do in Huangfu this afternoon?"

"Go to thank them for their condolences, and see if we can borrow their strength along the way."

"The result?" He turned his head and stared at me.

"As you can see." I bowed to him, turned around and walked out of Kui Mansion.

Sitting in the swaying sedan chair, I caressed a scratch on the palm of my left hand.I will make those who killed Zhong Jietong pay the price, even the Guiyang gangsters that everyone said they should not touch.

Crazy, just crazy.

If you are not crazy, how do you face this world?

Even my teachers, Lin Mu and Li Wenxian, had to let one go wild and the other live in seclusion.

In the evening of the second day, the three-day national examination finally came to an end. I asked Qingzao to take over Feixiang Laizhang's house, but I didn't expect to invite other people.Zheng Youshun, Hong Lishen, Huang Fengzhu, Lai Junchen, Jiang Wenzhong, everyone who was said to have friendship with Jietong came here.

After being stunned, the servants of Zhang's mansion hurriedly went to prepare more guest rooms, and countless people fell down because of the destructive power of this group of people; Mrs. Zhong was happy to see her son's former friend, The father also joined in the fun, and the two old men came out to chat with them; Lin Mu didn't have to expect him to stay in peace, he just dragged him to drink when he saw Feixiang, and Li Wenxian also unexpectedly met with Lai Junchen. Very easy to talk to.

Speaking of which, why did Lai Junchen bring a coffin to someone else's house to borrow?He is from a black state, and as a member of the black state, I can say that there is absolutely no such strange custom in the black state.

"Ah!" Qingzao screamed and ran.

"What's wrong?" I wiped her sweaty little face with a handkerchief.

"Yes... yes..." Qingzao's face twisted, "...there is a ghost!" The high-decibel scream almost pierced my eardrum.

Feixiang waved his hand, "Ah, don't worry! That must be Jiang Wenzhong."

...Aha?

Even if Jiang Wenzhong's face is really...well, pale, there is no need to say that he is a ghost...well, or you can use a more tactful word.

All in all, on the day after the examination ended, the Zhang Mansion suddenly became lively, and was disturbed for a whole night.

In the early morning of the next day, when all of them finally went to sleep, the servants of the Zhang Mansion were in a daze for the rest of their lives, with a distraught look on their faces.Except for some people I left to work and watch the door, everyone else went to rest. For lunch and dinner, I think it’s better to buy them from outside. …

I went back to the study to deal with business for a while, and I couldn't stand it at noon, so I went to the courtyard to sit for a while to change my mood.

"How's the matter with Big Brother?" Fei Xiang walked over with a solemn expression, unlike the usual laughing and drinking fight last night.

"Don't worry. Don't you worry about my work?"

He patted my shoulder and sat down on the fake rock, "Don't talk about that nonsense, tell me the truth."

I lowered my eyes and finally told him the truth, even confessed to Feixiang what I had been hiding from Kui Huangyi.

After hearing this, Fei Xiang slapped me on the forehead, "Idiot! You did such a dangerous thing by yourself!"

"Do you want me to pull you?" I took his hand, "Fei Xiang, you must be fine."

"Then how are you?"

"Me? I'll be fine too. It looks like it's dangerous, but in fact I have a lot of confidence. Fei Xiang, you just leave these things to me. Your task is to be an official." I pursed my lips, " That is the dream you and your eldest brother share."

Feixiang kicked the ground hard, "I know. Damn it, I must pass the exam this time!"

Yes, if you don’t pass the exam, you have already agreed to fly at home, and you will never be able to realize your dream.It's just that I remember that the "Nightmare National Examination Team" was famous for having few people admitted this year. If...

"Don't worry," Fei Xiang stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of my head, "Do your best and resign yourself to fate."

"Well, the second brother is also right." After a while of silence, I sat across from Feixiang, held his hand and said softly, "Second brother, I miss the eldest brother."

"Well, me too." His usual loud voice also softened a lot, like a sigh.

We looked at each other in silence.

Want to talk, but what can you say?

Nothing can be changed.I bent down tiredly, rested my forehead on Feifei's lap, and wept tears.Flying vigorously patted my shoulder.

When I took Feixiang back to the dining room for lunch, he said, "Let's not talk about Kui Yushi's side, your side was also solved before the palace exam, right?"

"Um."

"When those gangsters come, I will accompany you to meet them."

"Second brother, you..."

He interrupted me, "It's fine if it doesn't affect the exam, right? Those scumbags who broke the rules at all, let Lao Tzu clean up."

I understand the feeling of flying. "Okay." I didn't refuse him to intervene in Jietong's case.

When they came to the dining room, Zheng Youshun was there, but none of the others got up yet.I asked the waiter Qingzao to go down to rest, rolled up my sleeves and served them a bowl of porridge.I shouldn't have porridge for lunch, but after a night of trouble and drinking, I thought it would be better to eat something lighter, so I asked someone to buy porridge and came back.I heard it came from a famous porridge shop in Guiyang, so it shouldn't be rude.

"Hey!" Feixiang suddenly stood up and grabbed my arm, "What's the matter with your injury? Ah, it's Mrs. Zhong... When I heard about it, I thought she just slapped me twice..."

I pulled his hand away, divided up the porridge, sat down and said, "It's almost ready."

"Let me tell you, Mrs. Zhong is not unreasonable. You can still be beaten if you talk to her well? How can you give me the strength to fight in Yuanyou City? If it doesn't work, tie her back Let's talk about Zhang Fu!" Fei Xiang patted the dinner table until it made a loud noise.

I stared at Feifei, and Feifei stared back.

I turned my face away, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "Is it interesting for you to compete with your elders?" Besides, you don't know who is cheating whom.

Feixiang choked for a moment, slapped me on the back of the head and went to drink porridge.I nodded to Zheng Youshun, who was looking at us with a smile, "I'm sorry."

He smiled and said, "We are the ones who disturbed the family."

I shook my head, I can still tell the good intentions.They wanted to visit Jietong's family with good intentions, and Hong Lishen and Huang Fengzhu, the two sons of the Caiqi family's direct lineage, also lived in, which was to build momentum for me and give me more bargaining chips.

"We also know that the family may not want to see people related to Jietong at this time," Zheng Youshun stirred the hot porridge, "but I always feel that if we don't come this time, Miss Zelan will not be willing in the future." Accept our group. Please forgive our recklessness."

In the end, am I the one who is worried?

"Please don't say that, Jie Tong, Second Brother, and I have also received too much care from you."

"Don't say that, it's Miss Zeran. In fact, even if we leave it alone, I believe that Miss Zeran will be fine, but borrowing what you said before, the person you care about is knowing that the other party is fine. Don't let it go, and then go to meddle in other people's business, this is the relationship between people. Besides," Zheng Youshun tilted his head, smiling quite amiably, "it's not sure who takes care of who, as far as they are a group if."

I saw that the servants had all gone to rest in the deserted hall, and raised the corners of my mouth.

In fact, I don't know about Jie Tong's life in the preparatory dormitory. I don't know how he became friends with so many good people in a short period of time.But I think, an idiot like him has the blessing of an idiot.

Really, I miss this idiot a little bit, I can't stop thinking about it.

In the days that followed, I patiently waited for someone from Huajie to come, while under the fanfare of a madman, I secretly collected other things with the help of the Huang family, ready to go.

About half a month later, Huajie finally came.The one who came was the second leader of the Guiyang gang. It is said that he is called Cyclops, and he is like a military adviser among the ten bosses of the gang.

I asked everyone to avoid, only me and Fei Xiang stayed in the hall of the outer courtyard to meet guests.

"Miss Zhang was so brave that day," Cyclops greeted people with a smile at first, "It's the first time that a female class dares to challenge the situation."

"Really." I picked up the teacup and drank tea, without saying a word, and gave him a shame.

"Hmph," Feixiang crossed his legs, and sat crookedly on the chair, "Speak up if you have something to say, don't talk to mother-in-law. This is not your territory, you'd better show me clearly."

Cyclops put away his smiling face and sat down on the chair, "Didn't ask for advice?"

"Miss Zhang's second brother, Heizhou Jiuwenlong, Guan Feixiang."

I glared at Feifei.As a student who entered the examination, he dared to introduce himself like this?

"Very well, since I am also a person of the Tao, I also know others and never speak in secret. Brother Guan, your sister seems to have done some extraordinary things."

"Wait a minute, who is on the same level as you? I am a scholar who entered the examination, and my brother Zhong passed the state examination in a dignified way. Besides, on the way? Which way are you on? Are you confused? There are no rules, I told you earlier that this is not your place, so be smart and speak quickly if you have something to say.”

Cyclops laughed, "After all, isn't it also because of the scholar named Zhong? Guan, how about we make a deal?"

Fei Xiang and I exchanged glances.

It's finally here.
