I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

First, I took a group of people around the county government office. Because of visiting relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year, many shops in the city were closed, and there was no bustle on weekdays.Ji Zihe simply took a group of people out of the city and went for a walk around the nearby mountains.I met a temple to worship Buddha, met a temple to worship immortals, and even had refreshments at a rich man's village.

Seeing that the sun had set on the western mountain and the sky was full of red clouds, the group of people rode back to the city on horseback.Eunuch Yingxian did not walk in the forefront, but a few well-trained young generals opened the way ahead, while Ji Zihe followed Eunuch Yingxian, staggered his positions, and walked obliquely behind him It is convenient to talk to him at any time.

Don't look at Mr. Yingxian's weak face, but riding a horse and archery is not a problem. No wonder the emperor gave him the post of general, but he doesn't know how good his martial arts are.

"Master Ji, when our family was in Jingzhou, we heard that you were young and promising, and you had already become the head of a county before you were weak. After seeing you, I realized that you are young and mature, and it's not just about dealing with people. .” Eunuch Yingxian chuckled lightly.

Ji Zihe was stunned for a moment, "The general is so distraught, the subordinate is terrified, I don't know what aspect the general is talking about?"

Eunuch Yingxian raised her orchid fingers, gently covered her lips, and acted like a little girl, "Master Ji has such a beautiful beard at such a young age, it is really enviable."

Er, it means his beard.Ji Zihe touched his long fake beard unnaturally, moved closer, and whispered to Eunuch Yingxian, "The general misunderstood, in fact, my beard is fake."

"Really, our family has never seen such a natural fake beard." Eunuch Yingxian said in surprise.

"This is an official's unique secret recipe. If the general needs it, I will send you some new ones later." Ji Zihe whispered.

Eunuch Yingxian frowned, and looked at Ji Zihe with more and more satisfaction in his eyes. He is a good man, "Then our family will thank Mr. Ji."

A eunuch is an eunuch, that is, a rootless man despised by others, who will never grow a beard in this life.No matter how beautiful it looks now, there is always a piece of their psychology missing.The more you can't grow a beard, the more you want to grow it.Some eunuchs even bought houses and married wives outside the palace, just to comfort themselves.Ji Zihe's fake beard really hit Eunuch Yingxian's itching spot.

"You're being polite, General, but please keep this matter a secret for me, and don't let others know the authenticity of my beard." Ji Zihe said again.

"Oh, why is that?"

"General, I have no choice but to be an officer. People judge people by their appearance. An officer has not yet reached the crown and is still young. When everyone sees an officer for the first time, they will inevitably feel contempt in their hearts. As the chief of a county, he must Only if I can convince the public. Since I put on this fake beard, the first person who sees me will not be at the age of an official, and I will save a lot of trouble." Ji Zihe said sincerely.

"Master Ji has worked hard, our family understands your suffering very well. People in this world have prejudices in their hearts, and our family is often annoyed by it." Eunuch Yingxian said rather melancholy, actually giving birth to a kind of heart The feeling of pity.

Ji Zihe smiled, but didn't answer.He was underestimated because of his age, while Eunuch Yingxian was because of his status as a eunuch.Although the two do have something in common, if they really treat it as the same thing and continue to discuss this topic, they will probably offend people.

After returning to the county office, he could finally rest.After Ji Zihe went home for dinner, he strolled to Qianya to eat and eat, and by the way, he found Rong Ge who had been waiting there for a long time.

"My lord." Seeing Ji Zihe, Rong Ge bowed and saluted.

Ji Zihe nodded, "Are you ready to eat?"

"It's already been used. My lord invited me to come and said he was looking for the perpetrator. Is there any clue?" Rong Ge asked.

Ji Zihe pretended to be profound, "Of course, I have already found the man's residence, just follow me."

"Yes." Although Rong Ge was puzzled that Ji Zihe hadn't paid much attention to this matter this day, he didn't know how he found him.But on second thought, Master Ji is not an ordinary person,

Then he was relieved.

Ji Zihe didn't take Rong Ge out of the county government office, but abducted him to a hotel in the county government office for foreigners, and stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard.

"This is it. I cast a spell around your house. No matter who walks from anywhere, they will be stained with marks. The person who threw things at your house is here." Ji Zihe said.

When Rong Ge heard this, he was about to kick the door, but was stopped by Ji Zihe.

"This is where the officials under the imperial envoy from the capital live. Don't be so reckless."

Rong Ge took a few steps back, "Your Excellency said, it was the subordinate who was abrupt."

Ji Zihe nodded, "Go and knock on the door."

"Yes." Rong Ge walked to the door and knocked on the courtyard door.

After a while, there was a movement from the door, a young man opened the door, caught off guard and had a face-to-face meeting with Rong Ge.

"It's you!" Rong Ge yelled.

The boy hurriedly covered his face with his sleeve, "It's not me, it's not me!"

"It's not you, why are you hiding?" Rong Ge said again.

Hu Xiaoliu rolled his eyes, that's right, he didn't do anything bad, why did he hide.Immediately put down the sleeves, patted the folds on the clothes, and said openly, "Okay, it's me."

"My lord, he admitted it." Rong Ge turned his head and said.

"My lord, take this little monster away now, and teach him well." Ji Zihe said, and took out the city god's seal.

As soon as Hu Xiaoliu saw the seal of the city god, his eyes widened immediately, and his face changed instantly, "What are you trying to do? I haven't made any mistakes, so why do you accept me?"

"Don't you admit it yourself?"

"I admit what's wrong with me, if you have something to say, don't do it!" Hu Xiaoliu backed away with fear on his face, and then bumped into someone.He turned his head and looked, as if seeing a savior, he hurriedly hid behind this person.

"Fourth brother, help me, that man is going to take me!" Hu Xiaoliu shouted, grabbing the man's arm.

Hu Silang smiled helplessly, and bowed to Ji Zihe, "I greet Master Ji, my younger brother has a temper, and I don't know where to offend him, please forgive me."

Ji Zihe knew this man, he had seen him during the day.He is a rare civil servant in Yingxian's father-in-law team. He is a clerical worker. His surname is Hu. I don't know his name, but his character is Hongwen.

Unlike Hu Xiaoliu, Hu Hongwen didn't have the slightest demonic aura, and Ji Zihe didn't even notice that he was not a mortal.This is not something that can be done by wearing any magic weapon. No matter how good the magic weapon is, it depends on the person using it. Hu Xiaoliu is also covered by a magic weapon, but Ji Zihe can still tell that he is a vixen when facing each other.Ji Zihe couldn't see Hu Hongwen's strangeness, it could only show that this person's cultivation might be higher than his, and he was a good fox fairy.

Ji Zihe put away the seal of the city god, "Your brother didn't offend me, he should apologize to the arrester."

"I'm really sorry, I didn't control my little brother well. This is not a place to talk, so please invite the two of you into the room for a cup of tea." Hu Hongwen issued an invitation letter.

Ji Zihe and Ji Zihe did not refuse, they followed Hu Hongwen into the room and sat down to discuss in detail.

"I don't know what mistake my younger brother has made to provoke the two of you to be so furious?" Hu Hongwen asked.

"You still have to ask your brother about this matter, and ask him what kind of hatred he has with Detective Rong, and why he keeps throwing dead animals into Detective Rong's yard? Is it for intimidation, or something else?" Ji Zihe asked. road.

"There is such a thing." Hu Hongwen was surprised.

Hu Xiaoliu hurriedly shouted, "That's not true, I have no enmity with Miss Rong. Miss Rong helped me before, she is my benefactor, so I didn't threaten her!"

Hu Hongwen raised his face, "Xiao Liu, tell me yourself, what exactly are you doing this for?"

All three were sitting, and only Hu Xiaoliu was standing alone, just like a three-room trial.

Hu Xiaoliu lowered his head, looked at the toe of the shoe, like a primary school student who made a mistake and was criticized, said coyly, "I just want to repay her."

"what?"

"I said, I'm repaying her." Hu Xiaoliu raised his head, stared at Hu Hongwen and said loudly, "Who told you not to help me repay her, then I have no choice but to come by myself. I have worked hard these two days to catch A lot of prey was given to her, what did I do wrong!"

It turned out to be so!

The three of them thought at the same time that it turned out to be a big oolong.

Ji Zihe twitched the corner of his mouth, quickly picked up his teacup, and pretended to drink tea to cover it up.Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time he has seen this method of repaying kindness. You can send the prey as long as you send the prey. Why do you want to make the whole yard of the house bloody and bloody, and the smell is so strong that it is almost uninhabitable.Who can figure out that this is repaying a favor, it looks like seeking revenge.

"Then why are you hiding from me?" Rong Ge asked.

Hu Xiaoliu was wilted again, his eyes wandering, "I'm afraid you won't accept me."

It's easy for him to repay a favor, even if he wants to be lazy.

He was taught by his fourth brother to repay kindness since he was a child. Since he was helped by Rong Ge, he must repay.

Hu Xiaoliu is a little fox with average cultivation and has no other abilities. He thinks that apart from his face and a few capable brothers, he has no other strengths.

Rong Ge helped him. He originally wanted to promise him with his body, but he didn't like him, so he had no choice but to go to Jingzhou to find his smartest fourth brother and ask him to give him an idea.

After hearing his story, Hu Hongwen said that if he really wanted to repay his kindness, he could just send some money to Rong Ge.And reprimanded him, don't make any promises with your body, I don't know where I learned the problem.

Don't say that he is a male fox, even a female fox doesn't say that if he receives a little favor from someone, he will promise him with his body.Those who can do this are either mentally ill, or the person is good-looking and falls in love with him.It's just that his stupid brother believes in the fake stories about goblins repaying favors made up by those sour literati, but anyone who has an eye should know that those are just lies.

But Hu Xiaoliu didn't want to. How could he take money to repay his kindness? Wouldn't that be desecrating his benefactor?It has to be like the white lady in the play, otherwise it can't be called repaying kindness!

Hu Hongwen persuaded him again, and seeing that he was stubborn, he ignored him and let him go his own way.

Hu Xiaoliu thought about it for a long time, and when the freshness passed, he became annoyed, and felt that it was too difficult for him to repay his kindness.Forget it, or take the money and settle the matter.

But Hu Hongwen was unwilling to pay for it, and let him settle the debt he owed by himself.How can Hu Xiaoliu make money? He doesn't earn as much as he eats.

As a result, his elder brother was going on a business trip to Ning'an County a few days ago, and Hu Xiaoliu thought about repaying his kindness again. He felt that it would be impossible to procrastinate, so he came with his elder brother, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to repay his kindness.

Hu Xiaoliu had no money and wanted to repay his kindness, so Hu Xiaoliu came up with this crooked idea.It didn't matter whether Rong Ge took it or not, anyway, what he should have delivered was delivered, if Ji Zihe and the others hadn't come to his door, he really wanted to praise him for his unconscious and perfunctory repayment.
