One Piece: BABY5's Love in the World

Chapter 157 The knife that splits bullets

Yan Hua sneered disdainfully: "That boy Yang Xuan is a pretentious and evil-minded person at first glance. He is always working for evil purposes. I tell you, maybe his father-in-law, Zhao Minyou, helped him to raise people."

He was not used to seeing people who thought highly of themselves. On the surface, Yang Xuan looked humble and polite, but in fact, the arrogance hidden in his eyebrows could not escape the fierce eyes of his young master.

If such a duplicitous person becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be a corrupt official!

Zhang Xianli and others all knew about Yan Hua's temperament, so they did not dissuade or refute what he said.

They are all people who can recognize people, and naturally they can see the hypocrisy behind Yang Xuanqianhe. However, although it is doubtful, they cannot take it out of context without evidence.

Zhang Xitai and Weisheng Liyao did not speak, but looked at Ji Junyue and waited for her next arrangement.

After Ji Junyue read the test paper in her hand, she already had the answer in her mind, but she still didn't say much and just handed the test paper to Feng Yedao.

"Show it to the three young masters."

Ji Junyue didn't say it clearly, but Feng Ye knew who the three young masters she was talking about were. Only Zhang Xianli, Yan Hua and Weisheng Liyao were strangers present.

Feng Ye took a stack of test papers and walked towards Zhang Xianli, who was closest. Because Zhang Xianli knew Ji Junyue's true identity, he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. Not only did he not refuse, but he also followed Feng Ye with some respect. Ye took the exam paper in his hand.

Ji Yue is the queen and the general of the northwest. The two so-called guards following her look like they came from the military camp. Those who can follow the queen are ordinary soldiers. They are bound to be He has a strong background, so he can't offend him.

Weisheng Liyao and Yan Hua saw that Zhang Xianli took the test paper without hesitation. A flash of surprise flashed in their eyes. Yan Hua glanced at Zhang Xianli suspiciously, always feeling that his actions just now were too natural and cautious. , something seems wrong.

And he secretly peeked at the test papers. With Zhang Xianli's temperament, although he is not as pedantic as a scholar, he is not very open-minded. It stands to reason that he would refuse...

Weisheng Liyao looked at Zhang Xianli with a hint of darkness in his eyes. If Zhang Xianli's strange behavior when he first entered the wing was a misunderstanding and accident, then the cautiousness that was inadvertently revealed at this time is really worthy of scrutiny.

Zhang Xianli is a son from a fourth-grade magistrate's family. No matter how humble he is, he still has the arrogance that a son of an official should have. How could he show caution to a stranger unless he knows this person and his identity makes him so A young man from a fourth-grade official’s family had to hold it in his arms...

Weisheng Liyao turned his eyes thoughtfully and glanced at the Jueyan young man who was drinking tea silently. They had not figured out what this young man was called even after they had a meal together. They only knew one last name.

Although there are not many families with the surname Ji in the Qin State, there are quite a few. However, if they can be said to have status, and are more status than a fourth-grade prefect, there are very few of them.

Weisheng Liyao filtered through the names of powerful families named Ji that he could think of, and finally stopped at one name, which scared him so much that his heart jumped wildly.

Although Zhang Xianli's behavior when he first entered the school made him a little suspicious, the thought only passed by in a flash. Because it was too shocking, he subconsciously denied it and did not dare to think deeply, even if it happened in the next quarter. Some of the words the young master said made people even more confused, and he did not dare to think deeply.

But at this moment, this suspicion became more and more clear, like a sudden collapse of a debris flow, suddenly impacting out, no matter how hard it was suppressed, it couldn't be suppressed.

The same surname is Ji, the same age, and a face as stunning as the rumors. These coincidences really make people suspicious...

Fortunately, Zhang Xianli gave some test papers to Yan Hua and Wei Shengli Yao, so the two of them focused on reading the test paper without thinking about it.

As time passed slowly, Zhang Xi'an, Zhang Xitai and Zhang Wen all stared at the three of them for a moment, as if hoping that the three of them could see something from those examination papers.

All three of them could guess that since Mr. Ji asked Mr. Zhang and the others to look at the test papers, it was not just for them to take a look. There must be something wrong with it.

This means that Zhang Xitai's failure was not because he failed the exam, but because there was some ulterior reason.

In contrast, Ji Junyue, Feng Ye and Liang Yu were very comfortable and leisurely. Ji Junyue even asked Liang Yu to ask the waiter to get some food for Feng Ye.

So while Zhang Xianli and the others were reading the exam papers, Feng Ye was immersed in eating, while Liang Yu and Ji Junyue were drinking tea leisurely.

When Zhang Xianli and the other three took turns to read all the test papers and raised their heads, they saw such a speechless scene. Even though the three of them were such informal people, they couldn't help but squint when they saw the leisurely looks of the three people opposite. Take a twitch.

When Ji Junyue saw that all three of them had finished reading, she put down the cup in her hand and asked slowly: "How is it?"

Since the three of them had read all the test papers, they naturally knew what she meant, and their expressions all became a little condensed. Yan Hua was the first to say angrily and uncontrollably.

"Sure enough, he is hiding something dirty. Yang Xuan's test paper is not as good as Xitai's. Anyone with knowledge can tell it at a glance. But Yang Xuan passed the examination, but Xitai failed. This is obviously the work of Zhao Minyou, it seems that the examiner this time has been bribed!"

Zhang Xianli silently lit a candle in his heart for Zhao Minyou and the examiner before saying.

"The examiner for Qiu Wei of Jiezhou is Feng Zhixue, the supervisory censor sent from the capital. I'm not very clear about his origins, but I heard that Zhao Minyou is the brother-in-law of Li Chongsheng, the Minister of Household Affairs at that time."

Zhang Xianli did not explain what Li Chongsheng represented, because he knew that since Ji Yue held military power and became the queen of the dynasty, she must be very clear about the forces in the court, at least much clearer than him, a non-staffer, and there was no need for him to explain more. explain.

Ji Junyue raised her eyebrows with interest. Li Chongsheng was a member of the Wang family. As for Feng Zhixue, the supervisory censor who was sent to Jiezhou this time to take charge of Qiu Wei, she really didn't know which sect he was from. After all, he was an official outside the country. Not on her main list.

But thinking about it, since Zhao Minyou can be bribed, even if he is not a member of the Wang family, he has something to do with it.

Weisheng Liyao glanced at Ji Junyue, thought for a while and then said: "Then Feng Zhixue is from the Qing Wang sect."

Yan Hua and Zhang Xianli glanced at Weisheng Liyao in surprise. They didn't expect him to be so well-informed, but then they thought of the Weisheng family. Such a century-old family, even if it withdraws from the political center, it must still retain its own channels. , otherwise it would not be able to stand until now.

Ji Junyue was not surprised when she heard this. As expected, those who could be bribed could only have one or two sources. Since they were from the Qing Wang faction, it was no wonder that they would collude with them.

When the Zhang family father and son heard this, they understood completely. It turned out that this was an unforeseen disaster!

"It's unreasonable. This Magistrate Zhao is such a private person. He actually changed my son's place to his prospective son-in-law. No, I must go to the Yamen to sue him!"

Zhang Wen growled with an ugly face. Although the people do not fight against the officials, for the sake of their own son, even if the result of this lawsuit will be unsatisfactory or even get into trouble, the Zhang family will never be able to swallow their anger and let it go!

After all, Zhang Xitai was more worried about the safety of his family. After hearing his father's words, he quickly comforted him.

"Father, don't worry. We are just ordinary people now. If we go to the Yamen to complain like this, we will only be kicked out by their officials who will protect us. We may even bring disaster to the Zhang family. This matter needs long-term consideration."

Zhang Xianli and the others nodded happily after hearing Zhang Xitai's words. They looked at Zhang Xitai with more and more admiration. In such a situation, they could still think of countermeasures rationally instead of acting impulsively. Even if Zhang Xitai really had no way to appeal this time, he was If a person misses his future, as long as he endures it for a while, he will surely soar into the sky and become outstanding in the future.

What's more, Zhang Xianli glanced at Ji Junyue, wasn't there the Queen? With such a big trump card, as long as she didn't offend the ministers in the court or involve some disputes over interests, there was nothing she couldn't solve. From a fourth-grade official, the queen could crush him to death with her little finger.

Weisheng Liyao knew that since the young master opposite helped to find out the problem, he would not let it go. This Xitai seemed to have met a noble person...

Yan Hua said directly: "We are all brothers. Even if no one in Jiezhou hears the case, I can help you persuade my father and I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Although Yan Hua didn't know much about his father's affairs, he knew to some extent that he was from the Pingguo Duke's faction, and that he was a political enemy of the Duke of Wen and the Prince of Qing. With such an opportunity to cut off the enemy's tentacles, his father should not be afraid of it. Will let it go.

Zhang Xitai bowed gratefully to Yan Hua and said without hesitation: "Then I'll take care of Brother Yan."

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Zhang Xitai will always remember this kindness.

Seeing this, Zhang Xianli couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Isn't it true that Young Master Ji is still here? I'm afraid it's not our turn to intervene in this matter."

Zhang Xi'an thought the same as Weisheng Liyao. Since his master intervened and looked calm at this time, there must be a way to solve it, so from the beginning he set his hopeful eyes on his master. As for the three friends his brother knew, he actually didn't trust them.

Zhang Xitai and Zhang Wen were slightly stunned when they heard this, but the next moment, father and son had already bowed to Ji Junyue.

"Young Master Ji, if you can, please help a bunch of Xitai. Although our Zhang family are ordinary villagers, we are willing to dedicate our humble sincerity to work for the young Master."

Zhang Wen's words are not unreasonable for ordinary people, but for powerful people, there is no exchange benefit at all for an ordinary person to do things that can only be done with a lift of hands.

But fortunately, the Zhang family did have something that Ji Junyue liked, and since she had taken action from the beginning, she naturally would not let it go. She just wanted to see the attitude of the Zhang family. After all, what she asked for was not what others gave her. What you get are two completely different concepts.

If the Zhang family asked her for help in person, they would naturally remember this kindness even more. However, if she took the initiative to help, it would be less memorable, and it would also easily lead to a mentality of not cherishing it because it was easy.

Zhang Xitai can naturally see clearly. Compared to Yan Hua, the unidentified Young Master Ji is more reassuring and trustworthy. Since his people can copy the test papers quietly and can be so calm at this time, There must be a solution.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xitai's act of bowing became more sincere. He raised his eyes to look at Ji Junyue, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he asked sincerely.

"I also asked Young Master Ji to help him out. Zhang knows that he is just a commoner now and has nothing to offer. Fortunately, Zhang still has some knowledge. As long as Young Master Ji does not dislike him, he will definitely repay the favor in the future. "

No one in the room said anything, they all looked at the Zhang family and his son and Ji Junyue with their own thoughts.

I saw the handsome and noble young master slowly smiling. I couldn't tell whether the smile was mysterious or evil. It was a bit arrogant and perverse, but also a bit evil and unpredictable. It was beautiful and soul-stirring, but also... Inscrutable and unsettling.

"So, you Zhang family will really become mine."

Zhang Xi'an's thoughts changed and he immediately understood what his master meant. He quickly winked at his brother and father. No matter what, being able to follow Young Master Ji was definitely the best choice at the moment, and it was the Zhang family who took advantage. .

Zhang Xitai and Zhang Wen also understand that if they become Mr. Ji's servants, even though they will definitely be servants, it will definitely be an honor. However, the Zhang family are not villains who cling to the powerful, nor do they sell their personalities for the sake of wealth. of people, but...

Let’s not talk about the current situation, let’s just say that Zhang Xi’an has already followed Young Master Ji. No matter who the young Young Master is in the end, their family is bound to be related to this young Young Master, and it can be seen that this Young Master also It is not someone who cares about human life, tramples on the dignity of others, and does not treat ordinary people as human beings.

If the Zhang family can follow and devote some energy to it, it will be a blessing and fate.

What's more, Zhang Wen couldn't just watch his child lose to the protection of officials, so Zhang Wen was the first to express his stance, nodding seriously and sincerely.

"From now on, I, the Zhang family, are willing to obey the Young Master's orders. Although we cannot bring any benefits to the Young Master, we can still give it with a sincere heart."

Undoubtedly, Zhang Wen's words were not only sincere, but also to the point. For ordinary people like them, to the rich and powerful, the only thing of value is their sincerity.

Zhang Xianli, Yan Hua and Weisheng Liyao all looked at Zhang Wen unexpectedly because of his words, and this time they really saw this elder in their eyes.

There are few people in the world who are so transparent and down-to-earth, not to mention that the other person is just a villager.

Zhang Xitai also saw the hidden meaning behind the young master's words. He could only use this knowledge. Thanks to the young master's respect, he had nothing to be pretentious and hesitant. It's also a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xitai also expressed his position.

"If Young Master Ji can restore my innocence, I, Zhang Xitai, am willing to follow Young Master Ji like my younger brother, and do my best from now on."

Zhang Xianli secretly sighed in shock. The Queen would appear here, and she must be returning to the palace. Since she was just passing by, she could get such a help with a little effort, which is really amazing.

You must know that although Zhang Xitai is just a scholar at present, and Qiu Wei's failure in the examination is what a villain calls him, then he can be regarded as a scholar. Although he has no official or position, with Zhang Xitai's talent, his future is absolutely limitless.

And with Zhang Xitai's upright character, since he recognizes the Queen as his master, as long as the Queen does not trample on her at will, she will definitely not have second thoughts, and she will definitely become a useful help in the court in the future.

Now Zhang Xianli had to guess that the Empress had probably paid attention to attracting Zhang Xitai a long time ago, otherwise she would not have taken his younger brother by her side...

This was what Ji Junyue was waiting for. Since the Zhang family had made their attitude clear, she would not waste any more time and directly threw a token into Feng Ye's hand and explained.

"Go to the governor of Jiezhou to handle this matter, and take those examination papers with you."

"Yes."

Feng Ye responded and turned around to leave. Since his master gave him a token symbolizing a first-grade general, he clearly wanted to reveal his identity and make decisions for Zhang Xitai. No matter which party the governor belonged to, it was so obvious that he was cheating on someone else. All charges of giving and receiving must be dealt with and accounted for.

What's more, since the prefect of Jiezhou is from the Wang family, and the supervisory censor sent to oversee the examination is from the Qing royal family, then if there is no accident, this governor will definitely be from the Huangfu family or the Dou family.

After all, the three parties have been in power for many years and have numerous secret disputes. It is impossible for a state to have officials from all the same party. See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
