I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 77 An unexpected surprise

Shen Xiaoye put the note into her space and tried to remain calm, but after leaving the city and heading west, she stopped pretending, "Uncle, how come Lu Guan was arrested again?

Also, is the Yue family so well-informed? "

"I have been in Wuzhong Mountain for a few days. I vaguely learned from everyone's conversation that the Guards Department pried out from Zhou Mang, the grandson of Uncle Zhongqin, that the reason he fled to the Ling River was mainly because his family had a group of extremely loyal guards in Panshan who were ordered to search for the treasures of the previous dynasty. He knew what his family had done, so he wanted to find them and have the guards hide and protect him first.

That is to say, when we saw those swords and guns, the Guards had already obtained half of the map from Bo's Mansion and were searching for it in Panshan.

Zhou Mang went crazy in prison, and it is unknown whether Lu Guan heard anything when he helped him escape.

So I speculate that Lu Guan may have been under surveillance all the time. As a person without any memories, it is impossible for him to live the same life as the original owner.

Do you think he is in danger? He has to carefully resolve all this by himself." Shen Changsui finished speaking and saw her frowning.

Shen Xiaoye asked: "So the surname of Lord Zhongqin is Zhou, so is Zhou Xiang related to his family?"

"It's true." Shen Changsui explained in more detail, "Yue Jinxuan was confined to his house because he saw the owner of Derun Cloth Shop surrounded by archers from the Inspection Department yesterday afternoon, and he went up to ask out of curiosity, and was beaten when he got home.

He didn't know anything, so I asked the gentleman. He slowed down the car, paused, and said:

"The teacher told me the whole story, saying that it was discovered that Zhou Xiang was an orphan raised by Lord Zhongqin and had the surname Zhou. He had been following Lord Zhongqin's orders, holding half of a map to look for treasures left over from the wars of the previous dynasty.

God knows that the half treasure map drawn by the treasure owner was not the Wuzhong Mountain where the treasure was located. It was also a blessing that they had the patience to look for it.

Later, Zhongqinbo found out that the other half of the map was in the hands of Buhe, the chief of a tribe in the Northern Tartars, so he tried every means to contact him.

The other party wanted to get food, cloth, tea, salt and iron pots before they agreed to give the map, and then Zhongqin Boli was so confused that he agreed. Coincidentally, the cloth was provided by Derun Cloth Shop at a very low price.

As a result, after delivering a batch of goods, we found out that the other party was another Wuhan tribe that rebelled from the Buhe tribe, and the goods were not received even though we had planned to do so.

Then, in order to take revenge, the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion found the real Buhe tribe and robbed the goods that the Wuhan tribe had recently found someone to buy. "

Shen Xiaoye asked: "Would Derun Cloth Shop only rely on the Bo Mansion?"

Shen Changsui said: "Sir, I don't know, but the previous donations were received by the Earl of Zhongqin, and it is unclear whether Zhou Mang asked for help from Derun's boss when he fled to Linghe. Lu Guan doesn't remember either.

Even if Derun Cloth Shop passes this test, its business will certainly shrink drastically.”

Shen Xiaoye asked again: "What about Zhou Xiang? Didn't he retreat bravely after the Bo's house was confiscated?"

"Zhou Xiang and his companions pretended to be descendants of the righteous army and completed their mission. When they returned from outside the Great Wall, they found that the residence of the Earl of Zhongqin had been raided.

They didn't dare to look for treasure in Panshan anymore, so they temporarily took shelter at the house of their cousin who used to be a money shop owner.

Afterwards, he was unwilling to lose his good life, so he contacted the scattered guards to find the Buhe tribe to look for the treasure again. "Shen Changsui smiled and said, "The Buhe tribe wanted to get another batch of goods for free, so he found the Qicuo Ferry and arranged it as a warehouse for people to transport the goods of the Wuhan tribe.

When he tricked Feng Jiu into going to the merchant under a false name to receive the goods, he chased and killed him while rescuing him, then set the warehouse on fire and sent two of his men to jail. In fact, there wasn't much stuff in the warehouse at all."

"Zhou Xiang is a talented person, he should be sent to the Tartars to do things.

But Feng Jiu didn't look stupid that day, so why did he get tricked? "Shen Xiaoye usually doesn't underestimate others.

Shen Changsui shook his head: "Only he knows. Maybe he doesn't like the Dada people who went south with him, so he got rid of them."

"After listening to all this, I feel that Lu Guan is the most confused one." If Shen Xiaoye had not heard from his uncle about the capture of the Tartars on the day of the fire at the ferry, he would have been confused too.

But she didn't know that Lu Guan was not confused at all.

He had just walked out of the cafeteria. Ever since he recovered from his injury and went to attend classes at the Imperial College, he realized that the Imperial College was not the place where playboys and dandies lived their lives as he had imagined.

This was the highest official school in the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Students were admitted in batches after passing layers of examinations. They could not be bought in with money.

Moreover, the sons and nephews of officials and nobles were no exception. Except for the children of officials of the third rank and above who could be admitted to the school through imperial supervision, it was a grace for the children of other ranks to be admitted by the emperor's special permission. However, they had to get excellent grades in the year-end examination to continue their studies here, otherwise they had to drop out and take the imperial examinations together with scholars from all over the world.

At this time, students had to study for a certain number of years and could be divided into batches to serve in various government departments for three months of internship. After passing the assessment, they could stay in the academy to study for another year before being appointed as officials. This was another mode of selecting officials besides the imperial examination.

The classroom not only studies the Four Books and Five Classics, but also focuses on practical work and the Six Arts. Anyone who ranks first in any of rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, mathematics and practical work is allowed to take the civil and military imperial examinations in advance.

No wonder the uncle urged me to come in, and the teenagers who were punished at the same time were all studying hard. Well, it doesn’t matter if you can’t learn it, the key is to show a hard-working attitude.

Only then did Lu Guan realize that the emperor was trying to see if there was any promising talent among the young men.

Originally he had not thought of living here, but when he found out that he was being watched, he decided not to go to the private residence but to stay in the Imperial College, returning home for half a day at most during his days off.

He has been in good physical condition recently and is working hard to keep fit. He was hungry so he ate more than others. He was almost the last batch to come out of the cafeteria, so it was very close to class time.

Lu Guan had just taken a shortcut and ran a few steps into the alley when he felt that there was one more person staring at him today than usual.

To make sure, he suddenly stopped his forward movement and jumped diagonally onto the alley wall in the blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, two figures rushed over and pressed him down with exceptionally fast movements.

He had no choice but to give up climbing the wall and started fighting with the two men. However, his body was not in peak condition and he was pinned to the wall by the two after only a dozen rounds.

"Young Master Lu, look carefully at what this is?" One of them showed his badge, and Lu Guan immediately gave up struggling: "Except for my rest days, I have been studying hard, and all the teachers and classmates can testify to this."

The man asked again: "Then why were you climbing the wall just now?"

“I forgot something in my room and wanted to take a shortcut to get it.

Why did you arrest me? Zhou is such a heartless man. He took me out of the city and injured my head. Are you arresting me because of him now? "When Lu Guan asked this question, the two of them were stunned.

Another person said, "We don't intend to arrest you. We are just ordered to take you to question you."

"Whatever it is, I can answer it now.

Could you please let me go and let me stand? "Who wants to go to the Guards Office for no reason?

The two looked at each other and nodded, but before they could move their hands, they saw an old man standing at the entrance of the alley: "Who are you? How dare you commit murder in the Imperial College? Let go!"

Lu Guan regained his freedom and turned around, bowing to the old man: "Hu Jiancheng."

The old man waved his hand to let him off the hook, then took the badges from the two men and checked them. After a long while, he said, "Go with them, and when you come back, go to the Shengyan Hall to get a replacement note."

"Yes." Lu Guan acted like a good boy in front of the supervisor in charge of discipline.

……

Shen Xiaoye's nephew and uncle didn't know that he was taken to the Gongwei Division again. They had already arrived at Xinzhuang at this moment.

This morning, we found Uncle Xin at the Qicuo Ferry. Unexpectedly, Uncle Xin's wife brought them a surprise. "My husband and I went to the other side of the river to attend a wedding banquet yesterday. We found out that many families have saved up cloth.

Look, the last time all the hair flowers were snatched up by the relatives, my girl, how many new ones did you bring this time?"

The two counties are bordered by each other, and the in-laws are also across counties.

She continued, "He happened to be delivering goods in the market town today. I'll let the child take you to find him."
