Make a long-term worker as an old attack

A month later, five or six academies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were destroyed one after another due to the involvement of Donglin Academy. Zhou Yuanshan finally couldn't sit still, and dismissed the students from the academies. A thick brass lock.

Xue Zhaoqing went to the Zhou mansion to look for it several times, but Zhou Yuanshan avoided him. After several times of failure, Xue Zhaoqing realized that it was difficult to shake Zhou Yuanshan by himself, so he had no choice but to give up.

He was temporarily staying in an inn, and he still had enough money in his hands, so Xue Zhaoqing was also very confused about where to go in the future.

Go find the burdock!A thought that had been trapped in his heart for a long time suddenly popped up, yes, since he has nowhere to go now and he has enough money, why not just go all out and go to Chengcheng to find his brother Niu Geng?

But if Niu Geng and his wife are not in Chengcheng, what should he do?

Xue Zhaoqing hesitated for a moment, and it was difficult to make a choice.Moreover, Xue Gan has not heard from him so far, Xue Zhaoqing can't figure out whether his father still blames him, not to mention that going back like this, he really has a bit of embarrassment on his face.

While hesitating, Tian Degui approached the inn, and said that the man with the message had returned from Xue's house.

"Uncle, how is my father now? Is everything okay at home?"

"Nephew, don't worry, Master Xue and his family are fine. Master Xue only received one of the family letters you wrote, and the rest may have been delayed in the post."

"That's good, that's good, so, has my father brought me a message?"

"This...." Tian Degui showed hesitation, as if the following words were difficult to speak, Xue Zhaoqing's heart sank, feeling that something was wrong: "Or, Dad, he still blames me?"

"This..., nephew, you can just study abroad and get your fame. When you get your fame, Master Xue will happily wait for you to come home on a big horse!" It was Xue Qian who didn't want to let him go back now.

Xue Zhaoqing was helpless, but he could understand his father. I wonder if there is any father in the world who would not want to see his son promoted to an official position?Forget it, maybe she will be forced to get married when she goes back, but she is at ease when she is alone.

"Nephew, what are your plans for the future?"

"To be honest, uncle, since Dad said so, I have always believed that a good man should aim everywhere, and the matter of returning home will be delayed for the time being. I plan to stay in Xi'an Mansion and take the next provincial exam. It's just... ..."

"Why? But there is a problem with money?"

"That's not true. My father opened a bank account for me in the bank in Xi'an Prefecture. There is a regular bank every month. I don't have to worry about money. It's just that I am away alone and I am a scholar. In case some bad guys get involved Bad intentions, trying to rob money, I may not be able to resist, so I want to find someone to take care of me."

"Do you need uncle to help you find one?"

"That's not necessary. There used to be a long-term worker in my family. He was strong and very familiar with me. He just returned to his hometown Chengcheng because of some things. I wanted to find him, but I didn't know Chengcheng. I am not familiar with the place, and I am afraid that he will no longer live there, so I have never dared to leave easily."

"What's the long-term worker's name?"

"Burd."

"Coincidentally, there happens to be a guy next to me who is from Chengcheng. I'll send him to his hometown right now to see if the guy you mentioned is in Chengcheng."

"Uncle really?"

"Is it still possible to lie to you?"

"Then Zhaoqing will thank uncle first!"

Three days later, Tian Degui asked someone to bring the news that the Niu Geng family had settled down in Chengcheng, Xue Zhaoqing was overjoyed, after renting a horse from the post station, he simply packed up a few belongings and scattered money, and rode straight Go to Chengcheng.

Tian Degui sent Xue Zhaoqing off, and watched him leave the city with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Where does he have any guy whose hometown is in Chengcheng, and he doesn't know where the boy named Niu Geng is, but once Xue Zhaoqing is tricked out of Xi'an Mansion, the servants who come to Xue Mansion to find him can't find him, what happens next It's just going with the flow.

But what if Xue Zhaoqing couldn't find anyone in Chengcheng and went back to Sanyuan County by himself?Tian Degui rolled his cunning eyeballs, walked quickly back to his house, rushed into the study, took a narrow scroll and wrote a few words, rolled it up and put it in a special bamboo tube, walked to the backyard, I caught a black and gray carrier pigeon, tied the bamboo tube to the carrier pigeon's leg, let go of my hand, and watched the carrier pigeon fly away.

Hmph, no matter how fast you Xue Zhao Qingma is, it will be faster than my flying pigeon?

Xue Zhaoqing rode a horse all the way to Chengcheng. Although he had learned equestrianism from Niu Geng, he was spent most of the time in the small forest by the two of them. In addition, the horse under him was not as good as the one domesticated at home. He was obedient, so Xue Zhaoqing didn't dare to go too fast along the way, and just swayed along with the horse's temperament, no matter where he went.Although Xue Zhaoqing was anxious, but since he had already confirmed that the Niugeng people were in Chengcheng, it would not matter if he fell off the horse and injured himself, the loss would not be worth the loss.

Except for the study tours in the past few years, Xue Zhaoqing has never traveled alone. Even when he was on a study tour, he was with his classmates, and he went to the rich places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This time, although he went to Chengcheng, he took the official road, but along the way almost They are all rural villages, and it is obviously spring plowing time, why are there so many beggars and refugees along the way?

"Master, why don't you stay at the top of the hotel?" It has been two days since I left Xi'an Mansion, and this place is very close to Chengcheng. Xue Zhaoqing missed the last post officer, and originally planned to go directly to Chengcheng overnight, but I don't know Why, the horse's hoof was tripped, and the horse under him didn't want to hunch him forward, so Xue Zhaoqing had no choice but to lead the horse and walk on two feet.

Seeing that it was going to be dark, Xue Zhaoqing saw a small inn here when he was in a hurry.This inn is located at a fork some distance from the official road. It looks very dilapidated on the outside, but there is no place in front of the village and no shop behind, and it is not realistic to find a place to stay. Xue Zhaoqing had no choice but to lead the horse and walk over .

Although the inn was small, it was well-equipped with all internal organs. Xue Zhaoqing asked for an upper room, handed over the horse to the waiter, and asked the boss to bring food into the house, and went back to rest on his own.

It's just that in the inn next to the official road, there seems to be no other guests besides him. Xue Zhaoqing walked around outside, how could he know that the owner of the inn he entered, besides doing the top-notch lodging business, also had a relationship with him? The "uncle" who is far away in Xi'an Mansion has a sworn relationship for many years.

Seeing Xue Zhaoqing closed the door in the room, the boss and the staff downstairs showed wretched smiles.

"Can you see it clearly? Is it the scholar that Brother Degui mentioned?"

"It's really true. Ever since I received the letter from Fei Ge, I have been paying close attention to the people who come and go on the official road. In the past few days, except for him, a scholar in a green gown and riding a maroon horse, there are only a few of them. There is no one else, the appearance is also right, with Danfeng eyes, small face and small mouth, he is more handsome than a girl."

"Well, since this prey is going into our net pocket, there is no reason not to catch the net, and we will never forget that we watch from afar every day, put chains on the horse and wait for him to come to the door."

"Shopkeeper, you should think about it clearly. If this matter is done, our store will not be able to open."

"Huh," the bearded shopkeeper said with disdain on his face, "My brother won't lie to me. After doing this business, the reward he promised me is enough for us to open two or three big inns in Xi'an. The shop has never had any business, so what is he doing?!"

"Come on, shopkeeper, as long as you say a word, I will pour this sweat medicine into the tea."

The shopkeeper nodded, and the clerk added some white powder to the tea without hesitation, shook it well, and sent it to Xue Zhaoqing's room.

Xue Zhaoqing didn't notice anything wrong, he was already tired after driving for a day, he picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water into the teacup, and drank it clean in one gulp.

Just after drinking the water, Xue Zhaoqing suddenly felt dizzy, his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to speak in his throat, but he couldn't make a sound. He knew the truth right away, but at this moment, he was lying on the table and couldn't move , I only saw the vicious boss and the clerk push the door and enter in the haze, and I didn't know anything after that.

In the afternoon of the second day, Xue Zhaoqing gradually woke up. He struggled to open his eyes, his hands and feet were still weak, but he was able to move. Stand up vigorously, open the window, let the fresh air flow into the room, and after taking a few breaths, my mind is cleared up.

Xue Zhaoqing hurriedly checked himself, his clothes seemed to have been ruffled by someone, he reached out for the hidden pocket in his bosom, and exclaimed: Oops.The pocket was empty, his banknotes and the bank's banknote numbers were all gone.He opened the closet, and the package that was in the closet yesterday also disappeared.He hastily opened the door and rushed out. In this dilapidated second-floor inn, half of the people were gone.Xue Zhaoqing panicked, and ran to the stable in the backyard, and as expected, the stable was empty, and the horse rented by the post station had disappeared.

Xue Zhaoqing was stunned!He never expected that the innkeeper and his staff would not want the entire inn just for the little money and horses on him?This is completely unreasonable!

Xue Zhaoqing really couldn't figure it out. He sat slumped in the empty lobby of the inn, feeling as if he had fallen into a completely inexplicable and impenetrable trap.

But the facts are already like this, Xue Zhaoqing can't change anything, fortunately, it's not far from Chengcheng, once he arrives in Chengcheng and sees Niu Geng, everything will be easy to deal with, Xue Zhaoqing doesn't intend to delay anything here, and this disgusting inn He didn't want to take a second look, it didn't matter to him if the money was gone or the horse was gone, as long as he could find his brother Niu Geng, he didn't care about anything.

Thinking about it, Xue Zhaoqing didn't care about the empty inn, raised his feet, and went straight to Chengcheng!
