"You can see that I'm useless, right?"
Reading is the most useless thing in the world.
He was just the most inconspicuous branch of a large family.
Back then, when their father was still alive, their family was also protected by the host family.
There is a clan school in the clan. In the early years, my father was highly regarded by the master family, so there was a place left in the clan school for him to study.
But he is rigid and boring, has poor comprehension, and is always nitpicking. When encountering something, he has to argue about right and wrong.
The children of his clan didn't like him, and the teacher didn't like him much either.
Perhaps his father saw that he had some shortcomings in his character and did not want him to become a bookworm, so when he came of age, he married him off to a powerful wife.
When they first got married, he and his wife lived a very sweet time.
However, the good times did not last long.
...
...
The family was supported by my father alone. He failed to do his job well and was punished by the master. He lost half his life. After being carried back, he died within half a month.
The pillar of the family has fallen, and he can't stand up anymore.
The only three people left lived on the savings that their father had accumulated.
In addition, he helped the bookstore copy some books every day, so he had a source of income and could barely get by.
However, things did not go as planned. There was a famine in the north and they were on the verge of making ends meet. The book copying work in the bookstore was forced to stop and the little savings at home were soon stretched.
Unfortunately, he is a useless guy who can't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. He is looked down upon by outsiders and despised by his own wife every day.
He had no one to vent his grievances. Looking back on his life, he realized that he had never even had a close friend.
How sad?
Xiao Yuqi was stunned by his question, then smiled and said, "I was born to be useful. You are just not good at physical work. How can you be a waste?"
"You...really think so?"
It's like a child who has never eaten candy accidentally got a piece of delicious maltose.
The man's pupils were sparkling with energy, and he was eager to get the recognition of the world.
His father always said he was stupid, his teacher said he was pedantic, his classmates laughed at him and called him a fool, and his wife despised him for being a waste.
Growing up, he seemed to have always lived in denial from others and had never received any affirmation.
But now, there is a person standing in front of him, telling him that God has given him a purpose.
He said he was not a waste.
The softest part of the man's heart was tightly grasped by someone, his eyes were moist, and he bowed deeply to Xiao Yuqi with his hands.
"Thank you for your praise, I am deeply grateful."
"I am just telling the truth. How can I deserve such a great gift from you, brother?"
Xiao Yuqi quickly helped the man up.
"I am just a rough man. What I envy most in my life is scholars. Today we are destined to meet by chance. Why don't we make friends and let me, a rough man, get some of your scholarly temperament?"
"Brother, you are too kind!"
He saluted again.
Then he continued, "My surname is Zhao Ziyou, may I ask your name, brother?"
It’s actually the Zhan family?
The largest family in Guangling County, the Zhan family!
Xiao Yuqi returned the greeting and said, "My surname is Jiang, and my given name is Lu. I am the sixth child in my family, so people who are familiar with me call me Jiang Liu."
“Brother Jiang!”
"I was originally a bodyguard of the Hutou Bureau. I was entrusted by my boss to go to Jing County to buy horses. Who knew that when I came here, I would encounter such a thing. Now, I haven't completed my mission yet, and I am stuck here again. I am so sad!"
"You can't go to Jing County now. A riot broke out a few days ago and was forcibly suppressed by soldiers. Until now, I still don't know what the situation is like inside."
"Brother Zhan also knows about this?"
"I just heard a few words from the tribesmen!"
"What are you doing?"
The noise near the well was getting louder and louder.
"I said four taels, and it's four taels. You bring three taels of silver and ask me to give you water? Dream on!"
"Who gave you the guts to snatch the water under my charge in front of me?"
Seeing that the people over there were about to fight, Xiao Yuqi unconsciously tightened his grip on the long sword.
"Brother Zhan, do you want some water?"
A cruel light flashed in Xiao Yuqi's eyes.
"What do you want to do, Brother Jiang?"
Xiao Yuqi pinched his joints until they cracked.
"I'm going to strangle that corrupt official who's lining his own pockets and take this well away from me!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Xingxing didn't even care about the bucket rolling on the ground, and directly pulled Xiao Yuqi to an empty alley.
"Brother, please don't be impulsive. Do you know how many water sources there are in Guangling County now? How many soldiers are responsible for guarding the water sources? Do you know who is backing them up behind the scenes to dare to do all this?"
"Brother Zhan, do you know what's going on?"
Zhan Zixing looked around to make sure it was safe, then he lowered his voice and spoke to Xiao Yuqi.
"Most people only know that this area is closely connected to a high-ranking official in the capital, but they don't know who it is. But I happen to know!"
Back then, his father was punished and died because he had messed up a job for that man.
Then, a name came out of his mouth.
"Wei Zhijiang!"
It’s indeed him!
Xiao Yuqi pretended to be incredulous.
"It's him?"
Zhan Zixing sneered.
"He has a good reputation, so you don't believe it. But I am just a useless person and cannot tear off his hypocritical face with my own hands."
"Brother Zhan has a grudge against Prime Minister Wei?"
Xiao Yuqi asked tentatively.
"Blood feud!"
He answered promptly and clearly.
Xiao Yuqi was shocked.
There is a plan quietly rising in my mind.
At night, the person Xiao Yuqi sent to investigate Zhan Zixing's background came back to report.
If this is true, then there is a deep blood feud between him and Wei Zhijiang.
I'm afraid there is no affection between Zhan Xingxing and the Zhan family.
Tianshu leaned over to whisper in his ear.
"Master, there is news from Tianji!"
Xiao Yuqi reached out and took the letter.
The names of He Hu and He Bao appear on the paper.
Xiao Yuqi's pupils shrank suddenly. According to the historical trajectory, He Hu and He Bao should have launched the largest uprising of the Tianyu Dynasty next year, using Jing County as their base.
It turned out that they had failed once before.
Or, failed more than once.
"I have already done some research. Although Guangling County and Jing County belong to two different counties, they are very close to each other and there are many families that are related by marriage. I think we can start from here."
"Tianji has set the plan for the You hour, so tomorrow's Shen hour will be the best time for us to take action."
"yes."
At seven o'clock in the evening, Su Jianyue finished her work and went to attend the dinner party.
This dinner party seemed a little different from what they had imagined!
