Following Lin Fang's instructions, the medicine boy went to the gambling house to find Sun Wu. Sun Wu ran the gambling house and was quite successful in Qingzhou. He had many thugs and street thugs under his command. When some jobs that were difficult to handle were found to Sun Wu, he would generally take them as long as the money was enough.

Lin Fang had cooperated with Sun Wu several times, and the two were old acquaintances. When Sun Wu heard that Lin Fang was looking for him, he dropped the sieve and followed the medicine boy to Lin's clinic.

After entering the back hall, Sun Wu sat down on a chair and said to Lin Fang, "Tell me, which medical book secret technique did you find this time?"

Lin Fang pushed the tray covered with red silk cloth on the table in front of Sun Wu and said, "This time it's a woman from the countryside of Changkui. She just took a carriage from the Mu family to the north of the city. She should not have left the city gate yet. Arrange some people and wait until she is 20 miles away from Qingzhou before taking action."

"What is there in a country woman that you would be interested in?" Sun Wu lifted the red silk cloth, revealing shiny silver ingots. He picked up two and played with them.

Lin Fang said with a determined look on his face, "The woman's surname is Yu. She has the Qing Nang Book in her hand. No matter what means you use, you must get the Qing Nang Book for me. There are seven of them, five men and two women. The men are all weak scholars, so they are easy to deal with."

Sun Wu knew that Lin Fang was collecting medical books everywhere in order to present them to the imperial physician Wang Min in the capital. Unlike Lin Fang, Sun Wu was only interested in money. As long as Lin Fang gave him enough silver, he could snatch the medical books away.

Sun Wu gathered all the silver on the tray and stuffed it into his chest, saying, "Get the other half ready."

"The silver is always here, just waiting for you to come and get it with the medical book." Lin Fang had experience in cooperating with Sun Wu. Every time he worked with Sun Wu, he would pay half of the deposit first, and the rest of the silver would be paid after Sun Wu brought back the medical book.

Sun Wu nodded, stood up and walked outside, going back to the gambling house to arrange people to chase Yu Jiao and her group.

At the city gate, the coachman took the visiting card of the second master of the Mu family and drove out of the city smoothly, heading north on the official road towards Changkui.

"Little brother, what does Magistrate Yang want to see you about?" Yu Fuling asked curiously.

Yu Jiao pricked up her ears when she heard that. What Yu Fuling asked was what she wanted to ask but hadn't asked yet.

"Prefect Yang asked me what I had written on the provincial examination paper, and also asked whether my family had arranged a marriage for me." Yu Qizhe's voice was calm and without any ups and downs.

Yu Fuling was a little surprised when she heard this. "A few days ago, Madam Mu San also asked me if you were engaged. Are they trying to arrange a marriage for you?"

Yu Qizhe nodded slowly, his eyes fell on Yu Jiao's face, and he said calmly, "Master Yang wants to marry Miss Yang to me..."

"What!?" Yu Fuling stood up in shock, but forgot that she was in a carriage at the moment. Her head hit the roof with a "bang" sound, which was painful to hear.

She covered her head and cried out in pain, then hurriedly sat down, still unable to hide her excitement, "Are you saying that Governor Yang wants to marry Miss Yang to you?"

Yu Qizhe nodded slightly and saw that Yu Jiao didn't seem surprised. Her face was calm, as if she had known about it for a long time.

He pursed his lips and said, "I refused."

"Ah?" Yu Fuling exclaimed, and then said, "It's better to reject it. If we try to marry someone like that, people will look down on us."

She looked at Yu Jiao again. Although Yang Jiyan had a good family background, she still liked Yu Jiao more and had decided in her heart that Yu Jiao was her sister-in-law. Otherwise, she would not have told Madam Mu San that Yu Qizhe was engaged when she asked about him.

However, Yu Fuling still couldn't digest this matter for a while, and even felt a little secretly happy and proud in her heart. A rich girl like Miss Yang was almost going to marry her younger brother, which was enough to show how outstanding her younger brother Qizhe was.

"If you want to enter the officialdom, you should agree to this marriage. With such a father-in-law's support, your official career will be smoother in the future." Yu Jiao analyzed the matter objectively.

Yu Qizhe's peach blossom eyes dimmed slightly after hearing her words. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the emotions in his eyes. He raised his eyes again in a flash, staring at Yu Jiao, with a hint of interrogation, "I have no interest in Miss Yang at all. Do you have to plan your own marriage just to get help in the officialdom in the future? If I really think you are so scheming, what else can I not plan in the future?"

Yu Jiao was left speechless by his blunt and sharp words. She could hear the subtle displeasure in Yu Qizhe's voice, and she also felt that her words were a little too utilitarian.

"I was wrong." Yu Jiao stuck out her tongue, softened her voice, and admitted her mistake, "Fifth Brother is right. As a person, you should do what you should do and what you shouldn't do. You should have your own bottom line. If you use any means to gain fame and lose your original intention, then if you become an official, you will definitely be a corrupt official."

Seeing her being clever and flattering in her way, Yu Qizhe felt a little better. What he said just now was just high-sounding talk. Yu Qizhe actually knew his own character. He was power-seeking in his bones. He studied for power. If he really wanted to get something in the future, there was nothing that he would not sacrifice.

The final goal achieved is the most important. Studying and taking exams are just a means to get closer to power.

He never thought about being a good official, and certainly didn't think about being a treacherous villain. He just wanted to be a top politician and compete for power and interests.

He applied Guan and Yan's ideas, planned the strategies for ruling as an emperor, exerted his intelligence, and was willing to serve as an advisor to bring peace to the whole country and order to the whole nation.

His ambition was to enter the cabinet and become a prime minister. As for peace and prosperity in the country and a clean and unified country, these two things were not among his ambitions.

He really doesn't have much compassion to save, change and benefit the people of the world.

The carriage passed through Shili Slope and got off the official road. The driver said outside, "Young ladies and young master, please sit tight. The dirt road is a bit bumpy."

The official road goes towards Luoyang. Changkui is a small country place and the official road is blocked. You have to take a small road at Shilipo to go to Changkui.

The carriage was much bumpier than before. Yu Fuling lifted the curtain and looked outside. There were trees on both sides, but they looked sparse and ordinary, and there was nothing interesting to see.

She lowered the curtain. Unlike when she came here, she didn't sleep well and fell asleep as soon as she got on the carriage. She felt very bored at the moment, so she suggested to Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe, "Let's guess the riddle. Little brother, you make the riddle, and Yu Jiao and I will guess it."

Seeing Yu Jiao nod, Yu Qizhe said without even thinking, "The face of a man and the peach blossoms complement each other red."

Yu Fuling frowned and thought for a long time, but she had no clue at all. She regretted suggesting playing the word guessing game. She didn't like reading and writing, so she was just shooting herself in the foot.

"Yu Jiao, have you figured it out?" Yu Fuling asked.

Yu Jiao smiled bitterly and shook her head. She didn't guess it either.

She looked at Yu Qizhe and asked, "What's the answer?"

Yu Qizhe was about to reply to her when the driver let out a "whoosh" and the carriage suddenly stopped. The three of them were thrown forward uncontrollably by inertia.
