Chapter 260 Each Has His Own Little Thoughts

"Not familiar." Yuan Langjun's face was very cold.

Wen Zhili was anxious. Ever since he was struck by lightning, he had been detained and investigated for "suspected wife-murder". Fortunately, the thugs he hired had not yet taken action and had a bad memory, so they didn't even remember who had come to see them.

He was beaten several times in prison before being released. But without Miss Lin's help, he could only squeeze back into the big shop with others. He was harassed by mosquitoes every day, the food was hard to swallow, and most importantly, the gloating eyes of his former classmates made Wen Zhili unbearable.

Wen Zhili wanted to escape from Kyoto, but he couldn't get out at all. As soon as he approached the city gate, he would be beaten by the defense troops.

He had no choice. He heard that Cheng Weining was the most kind-hearted person and had a close relationship with the Imperial Master. He wanted to save the country in a roundabout way, so he sought help from Yuan Langjun.

Wen Zhili refused to leave and said, "Mr. Yuan, how could you not be familiar with her? He even introduced you to Madam Wang, who is..."

When Yuan Langjun heard about Mrs. Wang, he thought of the pile of gold and silver that had been lost, and his face turned dark.

"No!" Yuan Langjun was very impatient, "No introduction."

Wen Zhili choked:?

"Cough, cough, cough!" A man next to him kept coughing softly. "Brother Wen, you also know that calamity star. Mr. Yuan was kind enough to let that person stay overnight for a few days, but guess what, bad luck struck... and he's gone."

Wen Zhili didn't think it was a big deal at first. What kind of disaster? He thought Yuan Langjun was a bit fake, he was innocent, and his half brother was a bad guy. But he was too lazy to get involved in such things.

But after hearing the latter part, Wen Zhili's mouth twitched slightly: ...

What?! It's over?!

He thought that his big thigh was abandoned just like him? ! Brothers in distress? !

In despair, Wen Zhili blurted out: "You were struck by lightning too? Why didn't the storyteller say anything about you!"

Yuan Langjun subconsciously protected his headscarf and his face became even uglier.

At this time, the talented scholar who had protected Mr. Yuan before immediately defended him and said, "This is the difference between a mature noble lady and a young lady from a noble family. Madam, be lenient in your conduct, which also means that we can meet again in the future."

Wen Zhili looked visibly unhappy.

Mr. Yuan also felt ashamed. He thought that one should keep some things in mind so that they can meet again in the future. Mrs. Wang just didn't care enough and simply treated him as a toy.

"Okay, stop talking." Yuan Langjun waved his hand and looked at Wen Zhili unkindly, "Why are you out? Didn't you have enough food in prison?!"

Wen Zhili's face instantly turned as red as liver.

Especially when he noticed that other students had very calm expressions, Wen Zhili broke down even more. He wanted to say "you, me, him..." but then swallowed it back.

Yuan Langjun felt relieved.

He suddenly thought that Wen Zhili was eager to achieve success and was an excellent test piece.

He said casually, "Actually, if you want to turn things around, you can. As long as you can find out the examiners' preference for questions, we can help you."

Several gentlemen's eyes lit up: "Yes! Mr. Yuan is right! We can coax Wen Zhili into being an idiot who rushes to ask the examiner about his preferences! He is the best pathfinder!"

But soon, someone whispered, "It's a pity that the nobles don't want to see anyone..."

Before he could finish his words, Mr. Yuan slapped his hand.

Yuan Langjun said slowly: "Some noble families don't want to meet, so don't meet. But Daxia is not just aristocratic families. Do you remember what Wang Langjun said before? If there is no chance to meet, you can create opportunities."

Everyone was stunned. Wasn't Wang Langjun talking about the emperor who was trying to scam people? !

But soon, they realized what Yuan Langjun meant. This was to trick Wen Zhili into trying to cheat the emperor! Yes! With the reckless Wen Zhili in the front, they would come forward later to rebuke Wen Zhili for cheating the emperor. This would not only increase their presence, but also reduce the chance of being disliked by the emperor.

The young men's eyes lit up, and they all said, "Yes, my sister from my mother's family has some friendship with the second princess." "I know someone in the Ministry of Personnel." "I have a visiting card from the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel."...

After they finished speaking, they all looked at Wen Zhili.

Wen Zhili was disdainful: Ha! Protect me?! Do you think I'm an idiot?! But it's enough to give me the opportunity to contact the noble. As for what to say after meeting the noble, that's not up to me.

Wen Zhili immediately swore to heaven that he would investigate the examiner's hobbies.

The two stood facing each other with smiles on their faces, but one had an axe in his back hand and the other had a dagger hidden behind his back.

…

One month later, in the back garden.

Qi Yue pulled the horse's head, and Yuan Ruan rode the pony "thump thump thump" to the stone house surrounded by heavy soldiers.

Puffs of thick smoke billowed out of the tall chimney.

On the front yard, craftsmen were working hard with huge hammers. The "clang clang clang" sound of percussion music caused waves of echoes. Next to them, there were craftsmen holding a one-meter-high clay pot, constantly watering the mold, which emitted a "sizzling" sound of white mist.

Yuan Ruan was about to take a closer look when Qi Yue turned his horse around and headed to the far right. There was a makeshift house less than fifty meters away.

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but pull Qi Yue's finger: "Look, look."

Qi Yue nodded: "Wait until the fire is out, then I'll take you over to see it."

System: [Hahaha. Princess Seventh is right! That place is too dangerous, and you are so small, what if you fall in?]

Qi Yue's whipping speed suddenly increased.

Yuan Ruan was helpless: [I am not that stupid. I just wanted to see what the Taoist priests were researching. After all, a few days ago, the second princess ran in with a dusty face and angrily accused Taoist Zhou of not following martial ethics and secretly refining other things, which caused the furnace to explode.]

As they were talking, they happened to run into the protagonist of the topic.

The second princess was standing in front of the door, pushing Cheng Weining away with her hands, saying, "Why are you here again? I told you not to. This is a matter within our royal family, and you don't need to come and help."

Cheng Weining let the second princess push him, and from time to time he would support the second princess who was unstable: "I am not a member of the royal family? Why can't I come?"

The second princess suddenly felt helpless and said, "Of course you are. But...but, only one can come from each palace."

"That's easy, you go back." Cheng Weining looked at the second princess with heartache, "I'll stay here."

At this time, the Minister of Works who was following behind Cheng Weining nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right. Second Princess, you were injured before, and Lord Cheng is having trouble sleeping and eating. Why don't you let him go in with you? He can protect you a little bit."

The second princess glared at him and said, "If you continue to speak for him, I will ask him to go to the Ministry of Revenue to help with research starting tomorrow."

The Minister of Works shut up instantly.

Yuan Ruan watched in confusion for a while and couldn't help asking the system: "Tong'er, why are the second princess and her family here putting on a big show? There's not even a fire in this room, what is he afraid of?"

The Second Princess and Cheng Weining turned around at the same time.

The second princess waved her hand quickly and said, "Seventh sister, come in quickly. Now you are here. I can lock the door now."

System: [Puff! I thought the Second Princess was blocking the door because she couldn't bear to see Cheng Weining sitting outside. I didn't expect she was opening the door for you and Qi Yue in advance.]
