Give you a spring

Ping Wei’s question was about the restaurant on Fengyuan Street, but Qi Zheng didn’t take them there—it will be noon after dinner, maybe they will be met by Wang Anqiu, and it’s not like the people in Linjing City didn’t see What does Lord Fu Yin look like? Wang An will not notice that things have changed when he sees the person he has made an appointment with has dinner with Lord Fu Yin.

So the three of them came to Zouma Street, a quarter of an hour's drive away from Fengyuan Street, and found a restaurant with relatively few families for dinner.

It was next to Guan Yue's house, and it happened that he himself also came.

——Master Guan came to Pingwei for something, and it had nothing to do with the imperial examination. It was about Zhao Shenghe, the storyteller of Yuzhailou, who Pingwei asked him to investigate.

"Didn't I tell you not to check?"

The restaurant where we ate was not owned by a local in Linjing. The taste was rather sweet, and Pingwei didn’t like it very much, but Xiao Er said that their signature lemon shrimp was worth a try, so he took a piece and chewed it..... . Swallow quickly.

Guan Yue and Qi Zheng sat together, and when they heard Pingwei's words, they said with a guilty conscience, "But I always think that gentleman is suspicious, so I just... checked it."

Ping Wei didn't speak, and He Zhou picked up another shrimp for him, and he stared at the shrimp with his chopsticks, wondering whether he should eat it or not.

Seeing that he was silent, Guan Yue thought that the other party was angry, and continued, "I guarantee that no one will find out during the investigation, and I did...found something."

"What's up with him?"

"I found out that Zhao Shenghe was originally from Langqiao, in Chongli..."

"Where is he from?!"

"...Langqiao people."

Ping Wei was sure, he put down his chopsticks, "You continue."

Guan Yue said slowly, "In the 21st year of Chongli, he left Langqiao and came to Linjing City to take part in the palace examination. He was just 19 years old that year, and after failing the exam, he didn't return to his hometown, so he found a place to live in Linjing City. , began to teach students to read in private schools."

Ping Wei turned his head to look at Qi Zheng, who lowered his face with a serious expression.

The 21st year of Chongli happened to be the year when Zhao Wanwan died.

"I'm going to find out if these two people know each other right now," Qi Zheng said, putting down his chopsticks and getting up.

"Wait, take Guan Yue with you. You may not know much about the storyteller in Yuzhai Tower. Guan Yue can just tell you." To Guan Yue, "Do you know where Zhao Shenghe lives?"

"At this time, he should be talking in Yuzhai Tower."

"Okay, then you go there and talk to him."

Qi Zheng made a "hmm" sound, then remembered what he was going to do later, and immediately showed embarrassment, "Your Highness, Wang An's side..."

"It's okay, just remove your people, He Zhou and I are enough to settle him down," Ping Wei said indifferently.

"Really?" Qi Zheng frowned, Ping Wei's bodyguards were indeed very skilled, but would it be a bit reckless to let the fifth prince take risks alone?

"It doesn't matter," Ping Wei said softly, "You guys go, I will make some marks along the way, if your side ends early, maybe you can come to my side."

"..." Qi Zheng pondered for a moment, considered a compromise, and left with Guan Yue.

Losing two people at once, the table is full of dishes and no one eats them, because Ping Wei won't taste them again, and He Zhou himself doesn't eat much.

Pingwei is still thinking about Zhao Wanwan and Zhao Shenghe, guessing whether they are siblings, after all, they both have the surname Zhao, but remembers that Qi Zheng said that Zhao Wanwan is the only daughter in the family, and wonders if they are distant relatives or something.But after thinking about it for a long time without any result, he stopped all kinds of messy thoughts, saw He Zhou next to him motionless, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

He Zhou turned his head, "Do you want to pack these dishes?"

"Pack it up and we have to meet Wang An later, is it suitable?"

"Give this to him as a gift?" He Zhou thought for a while, and thought it was a good idea, and it happened not to be wasted.

Ping smiled slightly, "You like it."

The two of them walked out of the restaurant carrying three big bags, and walked towards Fengyuan Street, but when they got to the street, they saw a man in his 30s standing in front of the restaurant he had agreed with—a man with short stature and ordinary appearance.

He Zhou didn't follow him, and hid in the dark to observe his surroundings.

Wang An didn't know Ping Wei, and didn't know what the person who came to meet him looked like, but relying on the extremely eye-catching patrol uniform, he walked over after seeing Ping Wei, and said in a low voice, "You are Li Jia. ?”

"It's me," Ping Wei said.

"What about the test questions?"

"Take out the money first before I can give the test questions."

Wang An opened the package that he had been carrying in his left hand. Inside were several thick stacks of banknotes, each with a face value of two thousand.

"How many are there?" Ping Wei asked.

"A total of 8 taels of silver notes."

If he had twenty candidates who cheated, 4000 taels per person would be considered a lot.Ping Wei looked to the side, motioned to He Zhou to take the package, and took out the test questions from his arms to the other party. Wang An obviously let go of his breath when he got the test questions.

Ping Wei: "Are you here alone today?"

"No, there are still several people watching nearby," Wang An replied after getting the money, and he became less defensive against them.

Ping looked around indiscriminately, and saw that there were indeed a few big men hiding in the alleys or corners of the street, and said, "Since I got the money, let's do it today."

He looked at Wang An in front of him, who left quickly.

Ping Wei still stayed where he was, he stood for a while, and waited for the people hiding around to disperse before he followed the marks left by He Zhou to search.

Almost two weeks after coming to the capital, Pingwei remembers all the streets and alleys in the central area. He caught up with He Zhou after a quarter of an hour, and the two came to the west of the capital together.

Different from the poverty in the east, all the rich people in Linjing are gathered in the west. The houses on both sides are very grand and luxurious, and the ground is no longer mud, but exquisitely crafted slate bricks.

Ping Wei dodged and hid in a teahouse, and saw Wang An stop in front of a private school, and then several people dressed as students came out and took the exam questions from him.

He watched carefully from the sidelines. The waiter in the teahouse noticed the unexpected visitor and walked over to ask if he wanted to eat in the restaurant.Ping Wei ignored him, raised his right hand to signal the other party to stop talking, waited to see Wang An's movements clearly, and after confirming that those were the students who planned to cheat this year, he glanced at He Zhou on the opposite side, and said in a low voice, "You can arrest people." gone."

He Zhou immediately ran to the private school and took down Wang An.

The faces of the two were very serious, and the atmosphere was very tense. The guy next to him was stunned for a while, and he was infected for no reason and dared not speak. Then his eyes fell on them, and when he saw the clothes of the patrol team, he immediately understood This is because the government wants to arrest people, just thinking that I really have no eyesight, and almost ruined the plans of the officials.The soldier in charge in front turned his head and said to him, "Brother, do you know the name of the private school in front?"

Companion: "This is Tongji Academy, the best private school in Linjing."

"Have all the heirs of the dignitaries been sent here?"

"Correct."

"Do you know how many teachers there are?"

"I don't know about this, but there is a very famous teacher there, named Yu Zongsi, and it is said that his students will most likely win the gold list."

"I see," Ping Wei understood, "Thank you."

"It's okay," the man saw that the official had nothing to ask, and was about to turn around to greet other guests, when a sudden sentence came from behind, "Do you have any water here, I want to wash my face."

So the two of them went to the back kitchen, the waiter brought a basin of water, and by the way, they watched a performance that could be called a great transformation——

I saw this "official lord" took a small paper bag from his arms, sprinkled it into the water, buried his face in it and washed it, the water became cloudy as if some paint had been mixed in, and after a while When the "official lord" raised his head, the facial features on his face changed, his dark yellow skin changed a different tone, it was strange that an ugly man suddenly changed to Pan An.

The man was taken aback, he took a step back and looked at him blankly, Ping slightly wiped the water from his face, and stretched out his hand towards him, before he could say anything, the man automatically and consciously handed him a towel.

Seeing the startled and terrified expression on his face, Ping Wei couldn't help laughing out loud, "It's just a trick of the rivers and lakes, don't be surprised."

The guy is still in a trance, just making a "huh" sound.

Ping Wei couldn't help laughing, but he didn't want to waste any more time with him, so he took out a piece of silver from his bosom, "How much do you earn per hour?"

"...three copper coins."

"I'll give you a tael of silver. Do you know where Yuzhailou is? Help me go there and find Mr. Fu Yin, and say that Xie Xu is waiting for him at Tongji Academy, and ask him to bring some people over," Ping Wei restrained his face. With a smile on his face, he looked at the guy opposite, "Do you understand?"

"Understood," the man was startled by him, took the money in his hand, and said seriously, "I'll do it for you now."

While Ping Wei was chatting with the buddy in the teahouse, He Zhou had already made a big fuss in Tongji Academy, locking all the students and teachers in a classroom, standing in front with a blank expression, while the students and teachers shrank back , there are a few students inside who are used to being pampered, but they resisted fiercely in the front, under He Zhou's boss... now they are all squatting on the ground as quiet as chickens.

Ping Wei knocked on the door, "It's me."

He Zhou went to open the door.

"Did you find out anything?" Ping Wei glanced at the people in the classroom and asked.

"No, I was just looking forward to letting them settle down," He Zhou walked up to him and said softly, he felt that he was very measured - he didn't take out the knife he used to deal with Zhou Mu yesterday, just kicked a few desks, And "lightly" beat a few less sensible students, not too much.

However, the students of Tongji Academy felt that this man was talking nonsense——

Earlier they got the test questions and walked into the classroom to start researching. This man kicked the door involuntarily, and then smashed a table on the ground. His eyes looked at him without any emotion, like a murderer.Naturally, they were so scared that they wanted to run away...how could they be restless, he was the one who provoked them first.

The proper villain will file a complaint first.

The teachers and students of Tongji Academy are now all afraid of He Zhou. When they saw a gentleman with a gentle temperament coming in, the man suddenly started to pretend to be cute as if he had changed himself.

I feel even more scared, and even feel that Pingwei is also very scary.

They huddled together, and when they saw the young man looking towards them, they immediately looked away in panic.

"...What did you do before?" Ping Wei looked at He Zhou speechlessly, who looked innocent, "It's because of their poor psychological quality."

"...You, you can't do it," some students were annoyed and boldly retorted.

Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, walked to the middle of the classroom and sat down on a table, "What's your name?"

"Why do you want to sue..." The student lost his voice halfway through speaking - He Zhou glanced at him lightly, shrunk his neck immediately, and said honestly, "Lin Ling."

"Come and sit?" Ping Wei smiled and pointed to the table in front of her.

Lin Ling kept silent, but the classmate behind pushed him and whispered, "You go..."

So he shyly walked across to Pingwei, not daring to sit down.

"Why buy test questions?" Ping Wei asked.

"I didn't get good grades."

"Tell me in detail." Ping Wei looked at him, Lin Ling glanced behind him, his cheeks were flushed, and he squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "I tell you it's okay...but my classmates are watching from behind. …”

"Okay," Ping Wei stood up readily, "Is there another classroom here? Let's go there and have a chat."

"Okay..." Lin Ling was also one of the students who resisted fiercely in front of him, but at the moment he was tamed by He Zhou, and felt the faint pressure in front of Ping Wei, following him like a small animal behind him.

"Looking at them?" Ping Wei raised his eyes when he passed by He Zhou.

"Okay," He Zhou quietly reached out to him, and touched his fingers.

"There is a teacher named Yu Zongsi inside. If you pay attention, you may know the situation of these students cheating."

"Ah."
