[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

I was sitting by the side making tea, listening to Guan Feixiang arguing with Cyclops, the second leader of the Guiyang gang, and the tables and chairs in my house were rattled.

Are their hands numb?

Feixiang helped me make the opening momentum almost the same, and when the other party was choked to death, I said: "We don't want much, that is," I pointed to the ceiling, "I will be satisfied if I tear him down I don’t think the leaders of Guiyang will say that they will be loyal to that lord? There are many people who can cooperate, why should your gang fight with us whose eyes are blinded by anger?”

Cyclops, as the name suggests, has only one good eye.He narrowed his single eye, "Miss Zhang San, I heard that a noble person lives in your house?"

"There are many nobles in the capital, what do you mean?"

"Since Miss Zhang San doesn't want to give an accurate statement, then second young master Guan, tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Feixiang put one leg on the chair, and pointed to me with his arm on the back of the chair, "My sister said what to do, didn't you hear? Don't play dumb for me. Pull that old bastard from the court down." Are you giving the evidence, or not? We have already found out about the fact that you helped him lead the Assassin Group."

"Although it is said that the second young master Guan is about to become an official, he is not after all, let alone Miss Zhang San is a woman. Do you really think that you can beat that adult? If you stop now, I can still give you a favor." The adults are interceding, at most our Guiyang leader will give you a peace wine, and settle the matter of Young Master Zhong, how about it?"

"Do you think we are fools?"

I put down my teacup and interjected: "Second brother, it's better not to talk too much with him. If you want me to say, it's better to pick all of them to relieve my hatred. Are you an official? You can see that we have the support of the Hong family behind us." , didn’t you see anything else?”

Cyclops' complexion changed, "Sure enough, you are responsible for the recent frequent mobilization of the Beijing military camp against Huajie." He paused, then bowed his hands to us, "Both, we killed the wrong nobleman this time, it was our fault , what about you, do you want us to admit our mistakes or make an apology? Just say, our Guiyang gangsters just treat it as making friends. Why do you have to make things go to this point? Miss Zhang San is so brave at a young age, Guan Er Shao It's also just around the corner, so let's make do with it and settle this matter, how about it?"

Fei Xiang let out a sigh, "We are not as shameless as you are. Someone must come out to sacrifice the flag for my elder brother's matter. It's the same sentence, evidence, will you give it or not?"

I looked at Cyclops, "Second leader, why did you bring the matter to this point? Is the Guiyang gang just relying on a gambling game for the national examination to make a living? Abandon this business and hand in some evidence and people to come out , there will be a sharp pain for a while, but in the future, it is not good to find a smarter official to cooperate and find another way out? I heard that the second leader is a military adviser among the leaders of Guiyang. Pawn car?"

"It seems that Ms. Zhang San has prepared all the back roads, just waiting for us people to step in."

I stood up and blessed him, "I'm so offended, but what I want and why, the second leader should be very clear."

After going down the steps, Cyclops also went down the stairs, "Okay, we are not unreasonable. After three days, you will find someone to come, and I will give you whatever you want."

"Presumably in three days, Hong's supply to Huajie will return to normal. The military masters in the barracks are just practicing, and the second leader doesn't need to pay too much attention to it."

After making promises to each other, it's time to see off the guests.To my surprise, Fei Xiang, who was full of resentment, saw the guests out on my behalf, and did all the scenes of reconciliation with the Guiyang gangsters for me.

When turning around, Feixiang smiled at me, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

I turned my head sideways, then stood up and went to eat with Feixiang on my arm.

A man can bend and stretch.

"That person really didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin," Fei Xiang snorted, "You should have let me come earlier."

"What? The second brother also thinks that a girl like me shouldn't do this kind of thing? I'm not afraid."

He laughed and scolded, "Your girl is so bold." After a few words of laughter, he asked softly, "What's going on with the Huang family?"

"Second Master Huang is almost ready, and Kui Huangyi's side is also there, just waiting to take down the section of the gang under the city." I stopped, watching the first Guiyang spring rain outside the corridor, "finally wait The day of the imperial examination."

After being silent for a while, Feixiang smiled and said, "In this case, the day of the palace examination will be postponed, and I will have a few more days to study."

I followed his words and joked, "It's just a few days, is it useful?"

"Hey, don't make fun of me just because you are knowledgeable!" He clenched his hands into fists and rubbed my temples vigorously.

"Ahhhh..." Pain, pain to death.I kicked him away, ran away a few steps, turned around and stared at him helplessly, "What? I really don't know how to write your test essays."

"Ah? You really don't know? I thought you were joking! Then why did you join in the fun when my elder brother taught me the Four Books?"

"...Well, your previous foundation is a little..." It's too bad.Back then, Feixiang couldn't even read the allusions in the Three Character Classic, and even I could teach them.

"Ah~~!" Feixiang screamed, "So I was taught by such a person? I will try to die this time! Brother, your spirit in the sky must bless me~~"

"...It's really rude to me." I can't write the kind of ten-thousand-character long Fu that made Jietong famous, but I'm not so bad that people can't see it. I also read obediently...

However, I really hope that Feixiang can win this time.

"Guan Feixiang, what are you idiots arguing about so early in the morning?" A gloomy voice came from behind me.

I turned my head to look and swallowed.

It was Jiang Wenzhong, who still looked extremely pale.

"...Good morning...good morning." I greeted him.

"Ah, good morning Miss San." He said in a deadpan tone.

I walked to the dining room with the two of them and asked, "Speaking of which, both Mr. Wen Zhong and Mr. Junchen call me Miss San?"

"Ah, Miss San, you're welcome, just call me by my name. That's because we've heard about Miss San long ago."

carry on?

"I was born as a subordinate clerk in the Yamen of the capital of Baizhou. In the past, there was always an idiot who lived on the border of black and white states and was thrown into prison for making troubles. But every time after investigation, I found that, Either he was wronged or he was trying to help others, so I have to run hard every time to return his innocence. It really exhausted my energy for this bastard, but once he came back after missing for a year, he brought I made trouble with a stupid student who was stubborn enough to die, which greatly increased my workload. If I said a few words to them, they would always say that I was not as gentle and considerate as their third sister."

"..."... I don't want to be heard by this gentleman because of this kind of thing...

Jiang Wenzhong still opened his dead fish eyes and said: "Fuck the tenderness and consideration, am I not good enough? I ask myself that I have done my best to these two idiots, and I am definitely a great benefactor that they should spend their whole lives to be grateful for. "

...explosive, explosive swearing...

Lai Junchen, who appeared in front of the hall wearing a big cloak, also said: "I've heard about Miss San long ago. I work in a small yamen in the north, and together with Yuanyou City, the capital of the state, who are the five towns in the northeast of Heizhou?" I don’t know the prestige of the three of you?” He glanced at Fei Xiang, who was giggling, and sat down beside me, “Brother Zhong Jietong is a two-faced man who will cling to him when he sees something illegal; second brother Guan Feixiang is helping his elder brother, smashing people's shops and making a big fuss; the third sister Zhang Zelan is a girl from Heizhou who specializes in cleaning up the mess and saving one party, even if it involves gang fights."

I covered my forehead.The more they talk, the more I feel ashamed...Although I knew that my reputation as a boudoir would be gone, I never thought that my reputation would be so "far-reaching".

"Of course," Jiang Wenzhong smiled—a scary smile—and said to me, "At that time, I never thought Miss Zhang San was such a gentle girl."

"...Thank you." Finally, he saved his image a bit.

"Gentle?" Fei Xiang yelled ignorantly, "Third Sister is the most rascal! Being cheated, cheated, it's really hard to raise a girl and a villain!"

"Yeah?" Along with the sound of crutches, Zheng Youshun also walked in, "Fei Xiang, are you talking about impolite words again?"

Hong Li who was following him clicked his tongue deeply, "When is he not being rude?"

Huang Fengzhu, who was squeezed on the other side of Zheng Youshun, sneered mercilessly: "The most rude one is Li Shen! You slept your butt on my face last night!"

...I clearly arranged a room for each of them, why did they sleep together again?Seeing Zheng Youshun, who was covering his forehead, being surrounded, I raised the corners of my mouth helplessly.Hey, it's too lively, what should we do when the old people come out later?Don't make a fuss too...

"Miss San," Lai Junchen helped me pour a glass of soy milk, "I think it's better to leave them alone."

"Thank you." I nodded in agreement.

When the apricot blossoms are fragrant in March, I will try to reveal the list.On this day, I had already sent someone to read the list, and I was waiting at a nearby restaurant, while these scholars who were staying at my house excitedly went together to read the list.

Well, unexpectedly, there are actually very few people who read the list...

Is it because I know that I have no chance to be on the list, and other scholars don't even come to see it?

I always feel that there is a sense of sadness in front of the empty yellow list.

The people of Guiyang, thank you for your hard work.

"I've won! I've won!" The servant Wang Dali ran over, "Miss, Guan Erye has won!"

I let out a breath.It hit, it flew.Basically, if there are no major mistakes, the final ranking will only be determined in the imperial examination again, and will not be dismissed.

Flying on the list.Jietong is flying.

"How about the other young masters?"

Wang Dali laughed and said, "I hit it, I hit it all!"

...Aha?All hit?

"Did Lai Junchen and Jiang Wenzhong also win?" Speaking of which, I seem to have heard Jiang Wenzhong's name somewhere?

"Yes! All the young masters have won!"

How did I not know Caiyun Kingdom's ranking rate is so high?

I stood up, took Qing Zao and Wang Dali and walked downstairs to Huangbang.Because Caiyun Kingdom has an accreditation system in parallel, the number of candidates for the imperial examination every three years is no more than 100, but this time there are only more than 30 names on the list. Except for Zheng Youshun and others, the rest of the names are related to the assassination case of the national examination. I already knew that they would be deposed after the crime happened.

That is to say, there are only six people who actually made it to the list.

Is that the "Nightmare National Examination Group"?

"Third Sister!" Feixiang yelled and ran towards me, picked me up and held me high, "I've been hit!" He laughed loudly.

When nominated for the Gold List.My eyes were a little sour, but I still smiled, "Yes, congratulations, brother." After he put me down, I also saluted the others, "Really, congratulations."

"Cut! What's the point of being on the list?" Hong Li said disdainfully.

I laughed out loud, and tears rolled down my face.

"Hey!" Huang Fengzhu slapped Hong Lishen violently.

"Cut! If Jietong didn't die, he would definitely win! It's obviously nothing special to break the test."

"It's okay," I wiped my face with my sleeve, and said with a smile, "Really. Qingzao." I took a bottle of wine from Qingzao, "This is brewed with Jietong and Feixiang a few years ago. Zhuangyuanhong, although it is not comparable to famous wines, I still hope that everyone will appreciate it and have a sip."

"Of course." Zheng Youshun smiled at me gently, and took the lead to take a sip.

After the exam results were released, they all moved out and continued to harm other places in Guiyang, and Zhang's mansion became quiet again.

When I woke up the next day, my pillow was a bit wet.

After packing up my makeup, I took some documents, put on a veil, and went out to Kui Mansion.Kui Huangyi had been waiting in his study for a long time, reading an unknown book.I reached out and took off the veil, walked to sit opposite him.

"Got it?" He put the book aside and asked, staring at me.

"Aoi-sama is alright?"

"Of course." His gray eyes stared at me coldly, "Zhang Zelan, if you have something in mind, you can say it now."

I lightly placed a document in front of him, "Finally, if you promise to deal with this matter together, I will hand over all the evidence of the gangsters in the city to accuse the high officials of the court. "

Kui Huangyi flipped through it, then threw it on the table, propped his elbows on it, crossed his fingers, and narrowed his eyes, "You are right when you say you have no brains. You are going to the Huang family for help." , just let them collect enough evidence to behead the Guiyang gangster ten times?"

"The most well-informed person in the world is not Yushitai, but a businessman. You will ask me to be your pawn in Heizhou. Master Aoi should be very clear about this." I turned my face away and said softly, "Huang It is easy for them to find these things with their abilities. I even entrusted you with all the handles of other officials who colluded with them, relevant officials and military officers who will participate in the elimination of gangsters , as long as you are willing, it is not difficult to clear the Guiyang gangster along the way."

He hooked the corners of his mouth playfully, "Even if I do this, I will offend many people?"

I smiled, "This has nothing to do with me, does it? Aoi-sama, are you still afraid of offending someone?"

"Use the aggressive trick on me too, don't you think it's a low hand?"

"It's just a statement of the facts. The thing is in your hands. Whether you can find the most beneficial way to deal with this matter is your problem. If you don't agree, I won't give you the evidence under the city. "

"I remember correctly, this is also your fiancé's case? It's ridiculous that you threatened me with something you care about."

"Aoi-sama doesn't need to accept my proposal, then let's see if I really dare to hand over the things to you."

I raised my head and looked at him across the table for a while, Kui Huangyi let out a breath with a headache, and reprimanded lightly, "It's just nonsense!"

I silently turned my face away again.It is a fool to talk to him and take the initiative to send him to the door to make him ridicule.

"Bring it." He said in a low voice.

I looked up at him.

Kui Huangyi reached out and pulled at his waist, and threw his official seal to me.

"I did the Flower Street the night before the palace test. After you finish the work there, return the official seal to me, and I will stamp the official seal on the report on the assassination case in the national test. I will go to the palace to reveal the case in the early morning of the palace test. Can you trust me?"

I looked at the official seal.

"Yeah, it's fake," Kui Huangyi glared at me, "You can take a bite and see if it's real."

...It's not a golden seal, I can't tell if it's real even if I bite it.You can see it with your eyes.After carefully checking the official seal, I put another document in my pocket in front of him, and then put away the official seal.

In this way, all I can do is done.

"This is your chess game, right?" Kui Huangyi said suddenly.

Gather a lot of chess pieces to form a big dragon, more people bully others, and then do a midway robbery, replace the opponent's important chess pieces, and then end up one by one.

I smiled, "What do you think?"

Kui Huangyi pushed the things on the table, took out a chessboard and talked with me for a long time.In the end, he still lost to me by a small margin.

I rolled up my sleeves and tidied up the chessboard, "The chessboard is not real after all, so you don't have to worry too much about such small talk, Mrs. Aoi."

"It's not realistic," he casually put the chess pieces back into the box, "You lack that madness on the chessboard, and the chess game is more feminine."

"Feminine..." This time it was my turn to get a headache, "Why does Aoi-sama play shogi so dignifiedly?" If he was half as cunning as usual, he wouldn't always be defeated by me.

"I am the right path for world love and peace."

aha? "Ah, is that so, then am I betting that the evil can overcome the righteous or the soft can control the strong?" He also told me love and peace...

"You are full of crazy tricks."

"...Master Aoi, can I have a discussion with you?" He looked up at me expressionlessly, and I said with a wry smile, "Can you stop calling me a lunatic all day long?"

"Did you know how to write shame at this time? I didn't see you showing any guilt when setting up the game."

"...No... It's not a matter of being ashamed..." I rubbed my forehead, "Forget it, Aoi-sama will never know what politeness is."

"You want me to be polite," he stood up, "then wait until you climb up."

I froze.

Climb up?

"Elm head," he snapped at me again.

"...Why don't you try to stop swearing for a day?" See if you really will die.

"Get out when you're done."

"..." More, more and more impolite.I cleared my cough and said, "By the way, some of those officials' accusations were kindly sponsored by Hong Lishen." Li Shen seemed to think it was fun to collect this.

Kui Huangyi frowned, "Don't hang out with that group too much, you won't know what's going on even if you die."

"..." Please be more polite...

He paused, and then pointed out to me, "That's not a world you want to be in."

"Master Aoi, you have a heart." I naturally understood.

The world of great nobles and officials.
