Chapter 50 Chapter 50 The vicious little girl who made her childhood sweetheart fall in love with her...
Perhaps because of the surprise and panic, Li Ningshu felt that it was completely different from what he had imagined.
He was so scared that he fell to the ground, looking up at Hezhou, and the key was broken and stuck in the lock.
"Li Ningshu?" Hezhou looked at the person in front of him, his brows tightly knitted. It would be fine if it was just a bandit.
If the Li family rebels, it will not be easy. At least no one in their yamen will survive.
He weighed the dagger in his sleeve, then smiled and reached out to pull the man up. "It's really you? Why are you squatting here?"
Li Ningshu's face flushed and his neck became thick. He suddenly shook off his hand. He had heard a lot of news in the county before, and the way he looked at Hezhou changed a lot.
"Just passing by and taking a look..."
“Hahahahahahaha.”
Hezhou laughed and pointed at the lock on the door: "I didn't lock it before I came in? This... the key..."
Half of the key was stuck in the keyhole, and the other half was held in Li Ningshu's palm and hidden in his sleeve.
Hezhou pinched the key and pulled it out through the gap. The dark yellow key was flashing and still brand new.
"The mount is correct but a bit thick"
He weighed it and looked at it: "This is... looking for me? Just call me directly..."
"Bah! You shameless bastard!" Li Ningshu turned away with a look of disgust, his face sullen. "I'm not gay, so don't let your dirty thoughts bother you."
The door was pushed hard, and the two wooden doors shook violently, and Xie Xunzhi's voice came from behind.
Hezhou sneered, "That innocent Mr. Li was squatting in front of my door at noon... He was holding what looked like a duplicate key... What was that?"
He took out his key, his eyes fixed on Li Ningshu, and opened the door half-sideways. "Besides... I'm not gay."
"Who knows? It's all over the county now... the master is a lecher."
"Another rumor. Could it be that Master Li spread it while drunk?" Xie Xunzhi said with a smile.
He lowered his eyes and smiled: "I didn't know that you were coming..."
Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Ningshu. It was impossible for him not to panic. His fingers were pressing against the half key and he vaguely felt a sharp pain.
His thoughts raced. Wasn't it said that the back door was not often used?
Now I even want to kill Ading.
"I came here because I have something to do..." Li Ningshu looked up, his hands felt hot, and blood dripped from his fingertips.
"What's up?"
He lost his temper again, turned his head and lowered his voice: "A Ding said that you guys don't usually go to the back... and don't sleep in the house..."
"And then?" Hezhou nodded: "Did he also make the key for you?"
"Yes, he has the templates there, I just wanted to see if you are ready."
Hezhou handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe the blood off first. "Regarding this matter, we are of course fully prepared."
Li Ningshu's face looked unhappy, and he didn't know whether he was embarrassed or angry. He didn't take the handkerchief and rubbed it on his clothes.
"You already know this, but you're still asking me? Are you trying to embarrass me? What do you mean by fully prepared? That's ridiculous. If the key hadn't been stuck, I would have got it by now."
He spoke with disgust and took slower steps. The two people beside him blocked him from both sides.
"Got it...what can I do if I got it?" Hezhou vaguely felt something was wrong. Did he get the letter for Zhao An?
But this thing is not impossible to rewrite, the result is always the same, unless the two people are talking about different things.
Ever since Xie Xunzhi reminded him last time that his handwriting was still not standard, he rarely picked up a pen, and all related matters were left to Xie Xunzhi to write.
It can't be a plan, and this thing doesn't exist. Isn't that a life on the head?
He touched his chin and looked at Xie Xunzhi, his expression was not very good.
"Test questions! What else could it be!" Li Ningshu blushed and almost shouted through gritted teeth.
"My father said you didn't take any money and that you trusted me... But the things I learned in the county are different. I think you're just trying to flatter me! So what's wrong with me taking a look at the exam? Besides, I didn't see it either!"
He was a little excited, with fire in his eyes: "It's obviously your fault!"
?
Hezhou blinked and was speechless for a moment: "How old are you?"
Why are you talking so rudely?
He makes people angry just by talking. Everything he says is a bunch of nonsense, just like the last time he spread inexplicable rumors.
It was just that Li's father smoothed it over at that time. Now it seems that Li Ningshu is really full of problems.
"One year older than you..." Li Ningshu turned his face away. "How can you, someone who only passed the exam once, understand my feelings? If I don't pass this time, I will go back to collecting rent and live that aimless life of money!"
“…I don’t understand…but I want…”
Hezhou's mouth twitched. He now suspected that Li Ningshu was not only spoiled by his family, but also that his brain might not be normal.
Xie Xunzhi's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "I can understand this feeling. You know, I have been with Master He since I was a child. He accompanied me to learn, but... he succeeded, but I..."
His tone was low, and even the smile on his face seemed forced: "In fact, the teacher at that time said that I was the most talented, and Lord He said that when he accompanied me to the exam, he didn't think about fame."
"This kind of person is a despicable villain!" Li Ningshu instantly sympathized with him, looking at Hezhou with eyes that looked like he wanted to eat him: "But he is a little bit better. At least he passed the exam and took you with him. But who knows if he is a beast in human form!"
He opened up a three-point distance and said, "Mrs. Li said that Xie Xunzhi took the initiative, but now it seems that's not necessarily the case. You owe him, don't you know?"
Hezhou's eyes were clear, he blinked and looked at Xie Xunzhi, then looked at Li Ningshu, and touched his chin silently, so what was his identity now?
A vicious villain who secretly studied behind his childhood sweetheart's back, passed the imperial examination, mocked his childhood sweetheart, and even made his childhood sweetheart fall in love with him?
It seems a bit emotional, but it's not impossible.
"I haven't learned much...?" Hezhou said tentatively.
Xie Xunzhi's eyes dimmed: "Look, they are always like this."
"Ignorant wolf!"
He approached Li Ningshu and sighed: "You know, I really want to give you the test questions right now, but..."
He deliberately bit his lip and didn't say anything, looking at Hezhou with flashing eyes, and his faint sighs instantly aroused Li Ningshu's desire.
"Don't be afraid! Just tell me! I'll take care of anything that happens." Li Ningshu patted his chest and said, "If it's about the coffin shop, don't worry. I have my own way to calm you down!"
He shook his head slightly, his expression uneasy: "Forget about this matter... Anyway, the government will announce soon... that the exam will be cancelled..."
“Why?”
The questioning voice was so sharp that it frightened two children playing on the street and made them run away.
Hezhou looked around vigilantly to make sure that there were no living creatures around except those two people.
"The Chen family has teamed up with bandits to disrupt the exam tomorrow..."
He raised an eyebrow, "I thought you knew?"
Li Ningshu actually knew something. He thought about it seriously and muttered, "It seems like this is really the case?"
"It was just a while ago, but I was just eavesdropping..."
To be honest, he really couldn't remember it for a moment. At that time, it seemed that his father Li was having contact with Hezhou.
At that time, I was squatting in the corner, listening through the stained glass window, and hearing things like "It's better to hide" and "Nothing will happen."
It seemed like there was a strange sentence that revealed Xie Xun's weakness.
He never remembered these things correctly, and later it seemed that everyone from top to bottom advised him not to take the exam again.
His mother seemed to tell him that everything had been arranged and he didn't need to take the exam. She also took away all his books and didn't even give him a pen.
I use a spoon when eating.
Li Ningshu felt aggrieved for a long time. He did not believe the explanation given by the planer and inquired about it right away.
Hezhou not only refused the money privately, but also loudly refused when the seeds were offered.
How can I fix this?
He ran away under the pretext of collecting rent and met the drunk Ading on the way.
He also said a lot of gibberish, but at least he understood some of it.
This damn guy left himself a way out and wanted to sell the test questions.
Now is the time for fair competition, and everyone is trying their best to get in.
He took advantage of the confusion and kicked her hard, snatched the key and left.
Until now, Ading is still lying in the aisle of the street holding an empty gourd.
Somehow, Li Ningshu walked here. He vaguely remembered Ading saying that at this time, Hezhou and the other person liked to stay in the front yard and cuddle with each other.
Maybe I can go in and take a look at the test questions.
For a moment, the key in my arms was hot, but the voice of persuasion was so powerful.
Li Ningshu coughed twice and blurted out, "Has the Chen family found out about your affairs?"
He glanced at the two people, and there was no change in either of them. He wondered if they didn't care.
Hezhou had a faint smile on his face and sighed softly, "Thank you, Mr. Li. Please promote the exam later... It's okay to postpone it, but the exam still needs to be held."
He touched his chin carelessly and continued, "It's time to understand this key... Master Li may have had to do something... but there are no rules..."
"What? Why are we talking about this again?!"
He shook his head. "Mr. Li, I'm not flattering you. I just really think highly of you. If you fail the exam with integrity, I will also lend a hand..."
Xie Xunzhi placed his hand on Hezhou's forearm, frowning. "Why are you still pursuing this? Are you really going to lock him up for seven days? The bandit issue is already urgent..."
"But we don't understand the situation! We might as well just focus on the present."
Hezhou raised his hand and said, "It was clearly written on the notice last time. Next time, I'll lock you up for seven days!"
"No, no!" Li Ningshu waved his hands repeatedly, sweating profusely. The main problem was that being locked up would damage his reputation.
If I make it to the top of the list in the future, won’t I be removed from the list as soon as I start investigating?
"I know! I know! The bandit leader has a lover down the mountain! In the alley behind Chen's house..."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Li Ningshu didn't care about anything else and told him everything he remembered: "When the Chen family came, they said... the higher-ups had already taken care of it, and they wanted to take credit for it..."
