Chapter 111
Chapter 111
Ji Yuan didn't explain why he wanted to learn martial arts. He said he wanted to learn martial arts for self-defense, but no one believed him.
But actually, studying now already feels a bit like cramming.
We set out from the capital on the third day of February and finally arrived on the fifteenth day of February.
Wu Renhao felt a little aggrieved. He was tall and strong, so when he rode, he often had to let the horse rest.
Not to mention him, everyone who had been walking along the way was afraid that the horses would be so tired that they would foam at the mouth.
At other times, Wu Renhao would not be in a hurry.
But this time was different. He always felt that Ji Yuan wanted to get to Jianmeng Mansion as soon as possible. He couldn't tell why, but he just had this vague feeling.
Now that they have finally arrived, Wu Renhao is relieved.
When they arrived at Jianmeng Mansion, the people who came back together went their separate ways.
Jinshi Zhang and others bid farewell to Ji Yuan. They were all of the same age and from the same hometown, so they would certainly need support in the officialdom in the future.
Ji Yuan bowed to them. He also wanted to go see Dr. Yin. Wu Renhao also wanted to go home. His mother had been living here since she was taken to Jianmeng Mansion for treatment.
The provincial school also invited his relatives to help take care of her, and with the money he sent back after passing the military examination, his mother's illness got much better.
But to be honest, I haven’t seen him for two or three years, so I must go and see his mother.
Ji Yuan said: "Don't worry, I still have to go back to the village. We can take a bullock cart there. We won't be in a hurry then, so we can walk slowly."
Wu Renhao breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great.
Now for him, a bullock cart is better than riding a horse.
To put it bluntly, he was really afraid that he would tire the horse to death someday.
Ji Yuan knew what he was thinking and smiled, "Go find a good horse later. With your figure, you should buy a powerful horse."
But good horses are expensive!
But it's a good idea.
The two said no more and went about their business.
Ji Yuan went straight to see Dr. Yin, and after the greetings, his first thing was.
"You, Master Lin, and Instructor Cheng, please stop investigating what happened back then."
Dr. Yin heard Teacher Cheng mention this.
But unexpectedly, Ji Yuan didn’t let them investigate?
Or does Ji Yuan already know something?
Ji Yuan didn't intend to say more. No one knew who the other party was. The more Dr. Yin and the others knew, the more dangerous it would be.
"In any case, just don't investigate. I can't send a letter to Instructor Cheng. Dr. Yin, you must tell the two teachers not to interfere anymore."
Ji Yuan is not someone who says these things for no reason.
Since he said that, there must be a reason.
"The other party is not easy to provoke?"
Ji Yuan smiled: "No matter how difficult it is to provoke, it's like this. Let's talk about it after the students find out the truth."
“And there’s no rush for this.”
That's what I said.
But Dr. Yin's brows were already furrowed.
Seeing Ji Yuan and his son Yin Mao chatting as usual, he felt relieved.
Madam Yin prepared a large table of delicious food. While they were eating, Li Jin and Cai Fenglan also came.
When they saw Ji Yuan, they walked over quickly with excitement in their eyes: "You are finally back!"
"This time, I've been gone for more than a year."
"It's amazing that he got the top score in the imperial examination."
Get the top score in the exam?
A year has passed.
And this is just the beginning. His current situation has not improved because of being the top pick.
Ji Yuan smiled: "Being the top scholar is just the first step to getting a job."
Why do you say that?
Dr. Yin knew something about it, but the news had not yet been fully passed on.
After dinner, when everyone was drinking tea to digest the food, they couldn't sit still anymore.
"Where to? Say it again?"
"Dianzhou Prefecture?!"
“What a joke!”
Dr. Yin couldn't believe it either.
More than a dozen second-class people like him can be sent to Jianmeng Mansion to serve as instructors. After his term is over, he will most likely be promoted directly to right instructor.
Ranked first in the first class of the era and won six first prizes in a row.
Let him go to Dianzhou Prefecture?
Or the farthest Ning'an Prefecture? !
"I heard before that you would be assigned to Yingtian Prefecture."
"Why did it suddenly become like this?"
This matter could not be concealed, Ji Yuan said: "The Fifth Prince ordered me to go to Ning'an Prefecture for training."
Everyone was hesitant to speak.
Is this called experience?
This is calling death!
Acclimated with the climate and water, miasma and poisonous insects can be fatal!
Once Ji Yuan leaves like this, who knows when he will come back.
If there is no more outstanding achievement, when will I be able to be transferred?
Will the Ministry of Personnel still remember him?
To put it bluntly.
Ji Yuan was the top scholar, but in two years, it would be the year for the provincial examination and then the metropolitan examination, and the latest top scholar would emerge.
That's really the case.
Dr. Yin knows even more.
Why is Yingtian Prefecture good?
There is already a hint of the idea of a deputy capital there.
It is said that the old capital of Luoyang is the place where many royal relatives and ministers live in their retirement.
If someone like Prime Minister Li fails in this round of power struggle.
He will probably go to Luoyang to retire.
As for Shuntian Prefecture in the capital, everyone knows that where the emperor is, the imperial power is there.
The gradually developed Jinling Yingtian Prefecture controlled most of the wealth in Jiangnan.
Most of the rice and tax revenue of Tianqi Kingdom comes from there.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the deputy capital.
There was still a vague discussion in the court about whether to move the capital to Yingtian.
Relocating the capital may be impossible, but it is almost certain that it will be named a deputy capital in the future.
Working in this kind of place.
With Ji Yuan’s ability, political resources will definitely be upgraded to several levels.
After all, to really put it into practice, we still have to do something.
As a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Dr. Yin knows too well the value of Yingtian Prefecture.
In the eyes of those in the know, the two are so different that one cannot even be compared.
It's really scary.
Fifth Prince, did you do this on purpose, or did you just randomly assign a place?
Don't say the latter is impossible.
Dr. Yin has seen many absurd things and many absurd people.
He was also a Jinshi who observed government affairs.
It's because I knew that that I was so shocked.
Ji Yuan comforted his teacher instead: "Ning'an Prefecture also has great potential. It's just a remote place, but the land and climate are excellent. You have to believe in my ability."
Dr. Yin believed in his ability, but did not believe in another thing.
That's too far.
It’s so far away that even if someone dies outside, it would be difficult for anyone to track him down.
If a court official died in a place like Yingtian Prefecture, no matter how he died, it would cause panic among everyone.
After all, the lips and teeth are interdependent.
But if it happened in Ning'an Prefecture, he would die quietly and no one would come to investigate.
Everyone knows that when these outsiders go there, they can easily die if bitten by a mosquito, or die if they eat something wrong.
There are too many such cases and they are recorded in great detail.
Whether it was the Tianqi Kingdom or the previous dynasty, there were countless situations.
in other words.
There are too many surprises.
So many that even if they are not accidents, they will be counted as accidents.
Ji Yuan knew it too.
This was even an important reason why the other party wanted to transfer him away from the prosperous place.
Let's put it another way.
It is easy to detect abnormal deaths in Yingtian Prefecture, but it is also easy to conceal abnormal deaths.
After all, what we have to deal with there are layers of networks of relationships.
Whether dead or not, how did he die.
All depends on the mouth above,
Instead, he went to Ning'an Prefecture, where his opponent was nature and the living environment.
The natural environment is complex.
Interpersonal relationships are more complicated.
After all, the former is fair.
The people in charge and various forces in Yingtian Prefecture may target him, but he has no way to counter directly.
Ning'an Prefecture is different.
Nature is fair to everyone.
The poisonous snakes, insects and ants will not let them go just because they are sent by someone in a high position of power.
The so-called harsh environment is not even a disaster for him, but a natural barrier for him.
Between the two, Ji Yuan decided to deal with the environment.
Besides, only a place like that could allow him to quickly accumulate political achievements.
As for the potential of Ning'an Prefecture?
This was the least of his concerns.
That's where treasures are everywhere.
Ji Yuan finally said: "I heard a saying before."
"The joy of fighting against the sky is endless."
"Let me go and fight with God first."
He didn’t mention the latter sentence, that’s his advancement, we’ll talk about it later.
Dr. Yin was gradually convinced by Ji Yuan and was a little excited by him.
Do you wish you could follow along?
However, when asked about Ji Yuan's specific position, everyone fell silent again.
The head of the warehouse department under the Ning'an Prefecture's Household Department.
An official of the sixth rank.
The Cangke Department is responsible for local pensions and relief.
Just write the appointment document and do it at your convenience.
This is not just a loophole opened for the era.
Instead, officials who are assigned to such far places are basically required to take on multiple duties.
After this mission, Ji Yuan will probably have other things to do when he gets there.
It's really too far away, there are very few available officials, and many positions are vacant.
To say it is tough is no exaggeration.
Some people also said, wasn’t it said before that the number of people taking the imperial examinations in Tianqi State was extremely large, and it was even overcrowded and there were no official positions?
It’s not that there are no official positions, it’s that there are no suitable official positions.
There are a lot of vacancies in places like Ning'an Mansion. Would you like to go there?
Of course I don’t want to.
In comparison, life is more important.
The two scholars were having a lively discussion.
Li Jin and Cai Fenglan beside them were stunned by what they heard.
As soon as they knew Ji Yuan had returned, they hurried over to see him and congratulated him on becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination.
Now we know what happened to him in the capital during that year.
this?
Is this too complicated?
They thought that the interpersonal relationships in Jianmengfu City were already complicated enough.
Now it seems that I still underestimated the capital.
Ji Yuan joked, "Take a look at it during the next exam, and you'll understand a little bit."
It’s hard to say about Li Jin, but Cai Fenglan is quite confident about the next provincial examination.
Thinking of such a complicated situation, Cai Fenglan became anxious in advance.
"It's okay, it will be fine after that period of time. Even if you try it, it's also an experience." Ji Yuan said, and then said, "I didn't come to your wedding. Did you receive the gifts?"
This was definitely received.
Cai Fenglan even received two paintings by Qingtang.
After that, Qingtang's reputation spread, and Ji Yuan also painted a picture for Li Jin.
I also bought some foreign things in the capital, which made them proud.
The gift would have been nice.
What’s even more rare is that this was given by the top scholar.
Now both Li Jin and his wife are in the provincial capital. They have rented a larger courtyard near the provincial school.
I just hope I can pass the provincial examination in the 41st year of Huayuan.
If they fail the exam, their family will have to return to Zhengrong County, where they will prepare for the exam and take over the family business.
Li Jin is 28 years old this year, and in two years he will really start his own career.
Cai Fenglan, on the other hand, will stay in the provincial capital.
Cai Fenglan and his wife lived next door to Li Jin's house, which was naturally his father-in-law's house, very close to Cai Fenglan's wife Zhou Xiaozhi's house.
Cai Fenglan is three years younger than Li Jin and has great potential in the imperial examinations.
Knowing that they were all doing well, Ji Yuan felt relieved.
A few people reminisced about the past, Ji Yuan rested for a few days, and then went straight back to Zhengrong County.
He has a lot of things to do and can't stop for too long.
Besides, I have to arrive at the post early because it is really far away.
We set off on February 18th of this era, and Dr. Yin also sent out the letter.
Ji Yuan repeatedly stressed that the matter should not be investigated further, so as not to alert the enemy, which would be bad for themselves.
Moreover, he has his own way to lure out the person behind him.
Among the letters given by Dr. Yin, there is also one written by Ji Yuan to Monk Bai.
Monk Bai’s real name is Bai Fabin, and he was born in Qingyun Temple.
Ji Tyuan has not been idle these days in the capital city, and has been asking around.
The government office said that tourists are not allowed to visit Qingyun Temple for now until the case is thoroughly investigated.
But Qingyun Temple has a good reputation, and the people living nearby don't hate them. They say that their lives have become better because of the incense from Qingyun Temple.
With comments like this, Qingyun Temple is probably fine, and we just need to wait for the investigation to be completed.
Ji Yuan also went to Qingyun Temple to take a look, and after talking with Senior Brother Bai, he confirmed that there was no problem.
All these things were written in the letter to reassure Monk Bai.
At the same time, he also asked Monk Bai to spread his news.
Just say that he has returned home and is estimated to have left Jianmeng Mansion in early March.
After the letter from Dr. Yin was sent, Ji Yuan was already on his way back.
This time he couldn't stay in Zhengrong County for too long.
In addition to Instructor Guo, Dr. Luo, Mr. Fang, Li Xun, and several teachers and classmates.
The instructor was replaced, and he was quite serious.
Whenever he mentioned Zhengrong County School, his expression was actually a little awed. It seemed that being transferred here put him under a lot of pressure, but he really wanted to do a good job.
The county magistrate was even more different. He was a middle-aged man named Zhang. He was very polite to Ji Yuan, and his eyes were almost shining when he looked at Ji Yuan.
Later I will ask, is the silage material of Anji Village produced by him?
Then he said that it was his idea to integrate the entire county's animal husbandry?
Ji Yuan agreed to the former, while the latter said: "It is the credit of the previous County Magistrates Lin and Nie, and it has little to do with me.
In addition to what Ji Yuan had done, there was another reason why the county magistrate was so respectful.
Ji Yuan was exiled to Ning'an Prefecture and was an official of the sixth rank.
I am only a seventh rank official.
When you see your superior, you naturally have to pay your respects to him.
Besides, this top scholar has a bright future!
Ji Yuan thought that they were still isolated from this news.
But it won't be long before the news gets through.
When the other party asked him where he was being assigned.
Ji Yuan replied: "Ning'an Prefecture."
???
where?
Did he hear it right?
Ji Yuan didn't want to say more, he was really in a hurry!
After leaving Dr. Luo and Mr. Fang, I returned to Anji Village overnight.
An Dahai was already waiting at his house, and was shocked when he saw Ji Yuan's height.
Ji Yuan, this is much taller than him!
His body has become stronger and he looks like a young man.
When Ji Yuan returned home, he first put away all the things in the house to make sure no one had touched them, and checked the papers he had left in the house over and over again.
All that was ambiguous and easily criticized was burned.
After seeing the end, I just burned all the ones with words on them.
Although An Dahai and An Xiaohe didn't understand, they still helped.
After finishing all the things with words on them, Ji Yuan sighed. It wasn't that he was cautious.
It’s because there were too many frame-ups in the court due to written words.
Any word, any phrase, or any line of poetry can be used by political opponents.
He took away those reading essays that he could take away, and burned those that he couldn't take away.
I can only say that it is no wonder that ancient people did not let their handwriting be revealed.
Fortunately, when he worked as a pen manager, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his handwriting at that time was somewhat different from what it is now.
The handwriting is not a big deal, but I am worried that what is in his notes will be taken out of context.
This possibility is not impossible.
This possibility must be eliminated.
An Xiaohe seemed to realize something. An Dahai had experienced a lot and knew that this was not a simple matter.
By the time Master Zhao came back from outside, he had almost packed up his things.
This time I come back, I must see Master Zhao.
Mr. Zhao's biological mother died of illness. She had been bedridden for a long time and was already old.
But the death of his elder was still a big blow to Master Zhao.
Mr. Zhao now lives a decent life relying on the rent of the private school and the money paid by Anji Village for the silage. He no longer teaches, and no one can come to teach.
At Master Zhao's home, he and Madam Zhao would usually go sightseeing in the nearby mountains and rivers.
My wife remarried and is living a good life.
The three grandchildren are growing up and basically don't need any care.
Ji Yuan looked relieved.
The lives of other families in Anji Village naturally improved.
They rely on silage, and as long as they are not lazy, their lives will definitely improve.
Uncle An's family eventually split up, and the side branches also moved away, but his own family still lived together.
But now Uncle An seems to be feeling like letting his eldest son take over, since he is not young anymore after all.
Similarly, Village Chief An is expected to retire as well.
It’s still an age issue, and I don’t have enough energy.
In this case, it is particularly important to find the right person to take over.
Ji Yuan heard that the village intended to make An Dahai the next village chief.
An Dahai can read and write, can write books on veterinary medicine, and can treat livestock. He is the most suitable person.
Even though Dahai is only nineteen years old, he is very capable.
The village chief is sixty-three this year. He will retire in two years, and Dahai will be twenty-one by then.
This did not make Village Chief An happy, as his ideal candidate was his eldest son.
Besides, the situation in Anji Village is different now, and there are many advantages to being the village chief.
Ji Yuan listened to this.
Fortunately, Master Zhao is here, so nothing will go wrong.
Whether Dahai can become the village chief in the future depends on his ability.
Although the village is small, it is also a small society.
Ji Yuan is still young, and the village chief is old, so the transfer of "power" will cause controversy and struggle.
Not to mention the dispute over the prime minister in the court.
Ji Yuan first paid homage to his parents' graves, and then went to burn paper for Master Zhao's mother.
After finishing these things, I left again around February 26th.
Ji Yuan came and went in a hurry. Although he was already a serious official, he did not put on airs. Many people in Zhengrong County praised him.
Only Ji Yuan himself knew why he was in a hurry.
Ji Yuan made sure everything was packed up and patted Xiao Huang on the head.
Xiao Huang is now a grown and strong bull.
Ji Yuan was a little hesitant about Xiao Huang.
The place he was going to was Ning'an Prefecture.
Should I bring Xiao Huang with me?
I said before that once I have a fixed place, I will take Xiao Huang there.
But it's really too far away.
When Ji Yuan hesitated, Xiao Huang seemed to notice something and bit Ji Yuan's clothes tightly.
Ji Yuan said: "It's been a hard journey, I guess it's rare for you to come back."
Apart from seeing Master Zhao again, he had no other concerns here, so naturally he had no plans to come back.
After hearing this, Xiao Huang became even more anxious.
It's as if Ji Yuan is not trustworthy.
Xiao Huang has had an extraordinary spirituality since a long time ago.
That's how cows are.
It also experiences what is separation.
It can also be found that its friends come back less and less frequently, and the intervals between returns are getting longer and longer.
Dahai also said that Xiao Huang would run to Ji Yuan’s house whenever he had nothing to do, and he knew that was his home.
Ji Yuan sighed.
Let's go then.
He had just traveled through time.
It was the most difficult moment in his life.
I got through the cold winter and early spring thanks to Xiao Huang.
This was another difficult time for him.
His journey was definitely not peaceful.
This is different from studying.
If you are not careful, you will die.
"Then let's go together. If there is any danger, I will untie the rope for you and you can be a wild bull."
Ji Yuan patted the sturdy bull’s head.
Xiao Huang really understood.
It has been wandering around Anki Village, but it's not just wandering around aimlessly!
Much smarter than the average person!
When Ji Yuan harnessed the cart to it, Xiao Huang was very obedient and pulled the cart very fast.
Dahai helped drive the car, and Jiyuan rode a horse beside him.
Go to Zhengrong County!
Dahai sent Ji Yuan to Zhengrong County and couldn't help but ask, "You are going to Ning'an Prefecture. When will you be able to get out of there?"
Ji Yuan said: "If everything goes well, it will take about three to four years."
What if things don’t go well?
An Dahai couldn't explain it clearly, and finally said: "How about I follow you?"
Ji Yuan looked confused.
An Dahai simply said: "I don't understand a lot of things, but Xiaohe does, and I haven't worked outside for nothing all these years."
"Or take me with you. You must need a veterinarian in your area. Am I not just fit?"
"You happen to be working in the warehouse under the state, I can help you."
Ji Yuan was really moved!
But that place is really too far away.
Not to mention himself, Wu Renhao's physical fitness is also not ordinary.
If we go to the sea, is that not appropriate?
He is doing very well in Anji Village and there is a good chance that he will become the village chief.
An Dahai said: "Recently in the village, I have been neither popular nor unpopular. If I do things well, some people are unhappy. If I do things poorly, some people are still unhappy."
Ji Yuan listened and roughly understood what was going on.
The sea is not very old after all.
Only nineteen years old.
Although he is indeed hard-working and familiar with the affairs of Anji Village, he probably cannot control some of the elderly people if he is made the village chief.
In this situation, the sea began to want to leave.
Ji Yuan’s return just in time to make his thoughts rekindle.
He also wanted to try his luck in the outside world and find out whether his veterinary skills could be used in other places and whether he could improve his techniques.
I kept these words in my heart and didn't say them out loud until now.
Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I can't promise you yet."
Can't I?
The sea sighed.
Ji Yuan added: "You must get your family's consent. Without your parents and Uncle An's consent, I will never take you there."
This gave An Dahai a sudden surprise.
OK, OK.
He immediately went back to convince his parents and his grandfather!
As for the difficulties inside, Xiao He told him that he originally thought that Ji Yuan was going to a good place and it would be good to follow him.
But after knowing that they were going to Dianzhou Prefecture, Xiaohe advised him to give up, as that place was too dangerous.
But An Dahai wanted to leave at this moment.
Ji Yuan has been away for so long and has learned a lot of skills.
He also wanted to go out and try it.
Ji Yuan said: "It just so happens that I have to go find Master Fang tomorrow morning. If you don't come, then you don't come."
"Even if my family agrees, let's go to Dianzhou Prefecture together."
"But I'll tell you in advance that you can leave at any time along the way. The journey is more difficult and longer than you think."
An Dahai patted his chest. He was also a strong man and knew what was going on!
"Then wait, I'll be back right away!"
An Dahai didn't care about anything else. He gave the ox cart to Ji Yuan and walked back immediately.
Fortunately, he met a truck carrying goods to Anji Village on the road, and he quickly jumped on it.
I can definitely convince my family, I definitely can.
Ji Yuan went to see Master Fang, because he wanted to show him his progress over the past year.
When he came back before, he was in a hurry to burn his previous notes, so now he has time to sit down.
Mr. Fang was in good spirits and he even showed Ji Yuan his recent paintings.
Ji Yuan said before that if he did not leave behind good paintings, it would be a loss to future generations.
The more I listen to this, the more it makes sense.
Mr. Fang actually preserved quite a few fine paintings, and even had them framed. All the mounting masters in the county wanted to buy from him.
As he was painting, Master Fang began to apply paint.
Although they were all ink paintings before, now using pigments is easy for a master like Mr. Fang.
He also said: "There are many good pigments in Dianzhou Prefecture. If you go there, you can buy a few more and be sure to practice diligently."
When Mr. Fang was young, he climbed over mountains and crossed rivers.
He also visited Bashu.
One of the routes Ji Yuan took on his way to office was through Bashu.
Mr. Fang talked about his own experience and finally said: "In short, walk slowly, be bold and careful. If there is even the slightest sign of rain, don't rush."
Even though Master Fang said so much, he was still worried about Ji Yuan’s safety.
Same as Dr. Luo.
Dr. Luo even started cursing in front of Ji Yuan.
He was just short of pointing at the imperial court and cursing.
Ji Yuan asked him to calm down and promised that he would definitely come back.
Ji Yuan knew that everyone was worried about him.
But Ji Yuan had come this far and had an idea in mind.
Even though it felt wrong at first.
But he can live his life again, and he still has so many good friends and so many teachers.
In fact, he has no regrets.
I must say that it is to build a home with Xiao Huang.
There is no help for kids like More Era.
So he would keep going.
He also believes that he has tenacious vitality.
The morning of February 27th.
Seeing that there was no one in the direction of Anji Village, Ji Yuan prepared to leave.
Who knew someone shouted from behind: "Ji Yuan! Wait for me! I'll drive the car for you!"
An Dahai said excitedly.
His whole family was on the ox cart, and his parents had red eyes.
This proves that he succeeded.
Ji Yuan also sighed and asked again: "Are you really going?"
An Dahai was extremely certain.
He is going.
Didn't even sleep well last night.
Although Anji Village is good, once you open your eyes, you can't tell whether there is a village chief or not.
An Dahai wants to go somewhere further, maybe he can achieve something?
The eldest lady of the An family was speechless and could only ask Ji Yuan to take care of Dahai, but in fact Ji Yuan was younger than An Dahai.
How can such a little kid go to such a far place?
Seeing that his mother was about to cry, An Dahai jumped onto the ox cart.
He is really leaving!
Ji Yuan looked at them and said to the An family's eldest lady, "I will take good care of everyone. When the time comes, they will follow the Dianzhou Prefecture's caravan. There shouldn't be any problems. If anything happens, I will ask him to come back directly."
With Ji Yuan's words, Uncle An secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The era is reliable.
But no matter what, everyone waved to them, including Master Fang, Dr. Luo and his son.
Even the local county magistrate came to see off his superior.
Dianzhou Prefecture.
Why would such a good top scholar go there?
No one answered the question and Ji Yuan left again.
Many people looked at Ji Yuan’s back.
Every time he leaves his hometown, he seems to achieve something.
First place in the list.
Number one scholar.
What will happen next time?
And when will you come back next time?
No one can answer this question.
Ji Yuan rode his horse beside Xiao Huang.
Is there a feeling of dependence on each other?
That's not right either.
And my good friend An Dahai.
And Wu Renhao who was waiting in the city.
There is also Dong Kang who helps him contact his caravan, and Monk Bai who helps him in the capital.
I won’t say any more.
He came here in the spring of the thirty-first year of Conghuayuan.
It is now the spring of the thirty-ninth year of Huayuan.
In 1989, he was not without support.
It was already the sixth day of March.
The Dong family’s caravan even contacted Wu Renhao in advance.
Knowing that Wu Renhao was a martial arts candidate, they admired him even more and said that based on Wu Renhao's physique, there would be no problem on their trip.
That being said, the first thing Ji Yuan did when he returned was to find a suitable escort agency with Yin Mao.
And it's a hidden dart.
This escort agency can protect both goods and people.
Yin Mao knew nothing, but he still tried his best to help. When Ji Yuan returned home, he picked two or three families.
This escort company is considered to be loyal. They travel all over the country and have seen everything.
The price is right, just escorting officials to their posts.
Absolutely.
It's even an easy job.
The only difference is that this is a hidden dart.
They wanted to pretend that they were just passing by and were some distance away from Ji Yuan and his convoy.
Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from the leader of the Dong family caravan.
After hearing this, Leader Dong subconsciously looked at Ji Yuan and asked directly: "Zheng Nanzi, Wei Nan?"
Ji Yuan only understood half of what he heard.
Yin Mao was even more dumbfounded.
Someone nearby reminded him, and Leader Dong changed his tone to stiff official language: "Why? Is there something wrong with our caravan?"
Ji Yuan quickly said: "No problem, but my situation is a little special."
Are officials special?
When their young master wrote a letter, he said that he was the top scorer in the same year and that he was impeccable in his conduct and behavior.
They have such a big caravan, but you still need to find a secret escort. Aren't you looking down on them?
Leader Dong felt that someone was questioning his professionalism.
However, the other party was the top scholar and an official, so Leader Dong still had to communicate with the people from the escort agency.
Ji Yuan also joined in.
On the ninth day of March, the group set out in a grand procession.
The Dong family’s caravan is in front.
Ji Yuan, Wu Renhao, and An Dahai followed behind in an ox cart.
Following behind were the secret escorts, who also carried several large boxes filled with the books that Ji Yuan had recently bought from the Zhou family.
The eldest son of the Zhou family also felt sorry for Ji Yuan's situation, but after all, he was an official and a top scholar, so it was not their turn to feel pity for him.
Furthermore, anyone who has come into contact with Ji Yuan knows that he will definitely make a comeback.
Ji Yuan knew everyone’s trust in him, and he also knew that someone in the capital might have this kind of “trust” in him.
If there is, they will come to assassinate him.
Ji Yuan hoped very much that he was worthy of being "assassinated".
Such a long line slowed down the progress of the team led by Dong.
You know, they have a long and arduous journey ahead of them.
In the local dialect, it's very grinding.
It means that Ji Yuan is procrastinating.
But since Leader Dong had agreed, he would not go back on his word and would send people to take care of them from time to time.
Just consider this trip as an opportunity for the young master to make some good friends.
It seems that this Ji Zhuangyuan is good at taking exams, but he takes a long time to do things!
How could such a young official be an official in Ning'an Prefecture?
As for the last secret escort, only the close confidants of Leader Dong knew about it, while others just thought it was on the way.
After all, Leader Dong was already taking care of Ji Yuan and the others, and the escort agency behind them didn't say a word, just as if they were passing by.
They seemed to be carrying heavy objects and could not walk fast. They said they were not familiar with the roads nearby, so they had to go slowly.
A convoy was moving slowly, and in the middle of the era they were looking at the map.
Ji Yuan looked at An Dahai and asked again, "Are you sure you want to go?"
An Dahai was shocked.
It was the first time he looked at a map.
It turns out that from the capital to Jianmeng Mansion, one needs to take a short detour, and this is the way to go.
Because they are taking a detour.
You have to pass through Hanzhong, then through Bashu, and then enter Yunnan and Guizhou.
Listening to it while walking alone makes my butt hurt.
You can take a horse carriage, a ox cart, or even a horse.
It takes several months to get off the road.
You can also ride on horseback for short distances.
It's such a long way, he has to walk slowly, otherwise he would die without anyone doing anything.
One of the things to do when traveling to the highlands is to take your time.
It’s just that they were exceptionally slow this time, which is another story.
An Dahai and Wu Renhao were also shocked by such a map.
When we say six thousand miles, you may not feel it, but when you really look at it, you will know how many places they have to pass through.
To exaggerate a bit, Tianqi Kingdom is so big, but they have walked one third of it during this trip. This shows that the road to taking office this time is difficult.
No wonder many officials die on their way to take office.
An Dahai said: "In this case, it is right to walk slowly."
"Even the strongest man can't stand a long-distance raid."
After An Dahai finished speaking, he still nodded: "Go! It turns out that the place outside the Meng Mansion is so big."
"I thought the city was already pretty impressive."
But only after passing Hanzhong did you realize how lively this place is.
Ji Yuan still had some understanding of Shaanxi dialect, but Wu Renhao and An Dahai were completely confused.
After several conversations, Ji Yuan's learning talent made Dong's pupils tremble.
No wonder their young master Dong Kang couldn't pass the exam as well as this guy, he seemed to learn the dialect a little fast? !
Fortunately, they only passed through several prefectures in Hanzhong.
Leaving soon.
Otherwise, Leader Dong feels that Ji Yuan can be fully integrated into the local community!
But before leaving Hanzhong, Leader Dong gave another instruction: "We will enter Sichuan next. I don't need to tell you how difficult the land of Bashu is. If anyone feels uncomfortable or can't adapt to the climate, please tell us."
"Don't leave if it's about to rain, don't leave if it's foggy, and don't leave if it's too hot."
Leader Dong spoke to Ji Yuan and the others, trying to use Mandarin as much as possible, and everyone listened very carefully.
Leader Dong thought to himself.
This top scholar is quite nice except that he is a little slow when he is in a hurry.
Don't be like those young and foolish people who refuse to listen to advice.
Hey, there’s one strange thing, which is that he must stay some distance away from their caravan.
While Leader Dong was still sighing, someone said, "He is an official, and we are businessmen, so we must avoid suspicion."
Leader Dong seemed to be reminded and his eyes became disgusted.
Just looking at Ji Yuan, he doesn’t look like that kind of person?
But look at them again, they have to be eight feet away from the Dong family caravan even to have a meal.
"Peacock Wolf Dang."
Leader Dong was speechless.
This is also their local dialect, which means there are too many things to do!
Ji Yuan ate his dry food and said to An Dahai, "We will go to Sichuan soon. You should follow the Dong family's convoy for the next two days to get used to it. Wu Renhao and I are in good health. We will take turns to visit Xiao Huang later."
They set out on the ninth day of March and have been walking for more than twenty days.
An Dahai works as a veterinarian and needs to travel nearby, but he only visits nearby counties and villages.
It's indeed tiring to run such a long distance in a short time.
If you go to the Dong family caravan, you can sleep peacefully. Everything is convenient there.
Even so, An Dahai still wanted to stay.
He is going out to try his luck, so why can't he just hold on?
Let’s talk about the three of them.
The oldest, Wu Renhao, is nineteen years old this year, the same age as An Dahai.
The era is not even sixteen yet.
On this difficult road, I look particularly young.
I guess this is also the reason why Leader Dong tolerates their procrastination.
Although these journeys are slower, they are too slow.
He regretted saying that he should walk slowly.
An Dahai wanted to stay with them, but Ji Yuan shook his head and said, "Go to sleep. You will feel better after entering Sichuan."
"Wait a little longer and we'll go over there too."
After several attempts, An Dahai was persuaded to join the Dong family's caravan. The other party easily accepted him and found him a comfortable carriage for him to sleep.
As they were talking, the group entered Sichuan.
In the fog, there seemed to be countless barriers and cliffs between the mountains. If you were not careful, you would be killed.
Everyone who comes here will say that the mountains are as steep as blades piercing the sky, and the cliffs are thousands of feet high and hanging by a thread.
Leader Dong felt that Ji Zhuangyuan's ox cart was getting farther and farther away from them.
Even the secret escort team behind Ji Zhuangyuan was getting farther and farther away from them.
Isn't this inappropriate?
Leader Dong sent someone to ask, and Ji Yuan just responded with a smile, but still did not approach.
Yes.
Ji Yuan is fishing.
Catch a big fish.
Perhaps soon he will know who is behind Wang Changdong.
When he left the capital, no one in the capital knew what he was thinking, let alone that he was ready to lure the snake out of its hole.
It can be said that Wu Renhao's presence is too conspicuous.
Ji Yuan was prepared for this.
At the Ministry of Personnel in the capital, Wu Renhao had to stay at home to accompany his mother to rest, and would take up his new post in the second half of the year.
The Ministry of Personnel has taken note of it.
Monk Bai also told the people around him.
I think that even if the other party guessed his thoughts, he would still take the risk.
After all, if we miss this opportunity, we will have to send people to travel 6,000 miles, 12,000 miles round trip, just to take his life.
The assassins and guards were scared when they heard about this journey.
So most likely.
He was killed on the road.
The map had been studied before the era, and the final possible location was the prosperous place beyond Hanzhong.
Take action when entering Bashu.
In this way, the people sent don’t have to take the mountain roads, don’t have to deal with too much acclimatization, and can also push the work to the rugged road.
It is common for someone to die on such a dangerous road.
If you throw a person off a cliff, you won't be able to find any trace of him.
Bashu, a great place to kill people.
What’s even more amazing is that the other party doesn’t have to go deep into Bashu, let alone go through Yunnan and Guizhou, just to take the life of a mere top scholar.
Ji Yuan predicted that if the other party wanted to send someone to kill him, they would do it in the next few days.
He deliberately lingered in front for a long time, just waiting for the other party to find a suitable position.
Is it a risky move?
is dangerous.
But it is better than having the enemy in the dark and us in the light.
Ji Yuan's eyelids were slightly drooped, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
The two guns on the ox cart were well hidden. An Dahai was here every day and had no idea that there were such "treasures" on the cart.
Ji Yuan and Wu Renhao looked at each other and both remained on high alert.
I stayed away from the Dong family’s team because I didn’t want to implicate them.
Let An Dahai go over there, and protect him in the same way, and also let the people in secret see that there are only two of them left.
Even though Wu Renhao's appearance was unexpected.
That is also the best opportunity.
It would be hard to miss this.
They couldn't go any further inside.
They entered Sichuan and were still very far away from the teams in front and behind them.
What a great bait.
Isn't it unreasonable to say that it's not a good idea to say that you can't take the bait?
In mid-February, Ji Yuan wrote a letter to Monk Bai, first of all, telling him that the situation in Qingyun Temple was fine and he didn't need to worry.
The second is to let him "inadvertently" reveal his itinerary.
This saves the other party from having to look for it.
A lot of things happened in Beijing in February.
The Crown Prince is no longer under house arrest and has come out to handle official business, but the Fifth Prince has enough duties to compete with him.
The emperor's illness gradually improved with the weather, and he really intended to replace Prime Minister Li with Scholar Chu as the new Prime Minister.
Although the words were not spoken, the attitude was obvious.
After several rounds of open and covert struggles, the court maintained a delicate balance.
There was no change due to the emperor's illness.
While dealing with party disputes, Grand Secretary Chu was also solving minor problems.
When it was decided that Ji Yuan would go to Dianzhou Prefecture, he arranged his subordinates. It didn't matter if Ji Yuan died on the way or in office, as long as the task was done.
Ji Yuan might have noticed something, but they probably haven't been exposed yet.
Would Ji Yuan guess that someone would assassinate them?
Maybe.
But we can't be on guard all the time, there will always be opportunities for action.
Scholar Chu admired Ji Yuan.
At the same time, I feel that given his age and experience, even if he has some ideas, he cannot be fully prepared.
Even if we take a step back, what's the use of being prepared? We'll just try our best.
It’s best if you die, but we’ll talk about it later if you’re not dead.
These things were not even within the consideration of Chu Daxueshi.
Just the top scholar.
One every three years.
Six yuan and the third place?
In the next imperial examination, there will be someone who scores six points.
As more people like this appear, the ones mentioned above will no longer be rare.
Scholar Chu did not think about these things.
He was basically looking at the location of Wenyuan Pavilion.
He is fifty-seven years old this year.
We really want Prime Minister Li to serve as Prime Minister for another ten years.
Then he can just quit.
The most unwilling thing in the world is to be just a little bit short.
Even someone like Chu Daxueshi is not immune to this.
In other words, people like him are no exception.
Give the order.
Someone else gave another order, and it finally reached the killer's ears.
The people who usually raise them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Where to kill people?
Dianzhou Prefecture?
Ning'an Prefecture, the farthest from Dianzhou Prefecture?
Are you going to kill people or let them commit suicide?
It is said that every family will have some death warriors and killers.
But most of them are ordinary people. At most, they are a little better than others, but their will and ideas are completely ordinary.
In this case, are they going to do it?
Of course.
On weekdays, they eat and drink to excess, keep concubines and feed them with delicacies from land and sea, all at the expense of their masters.
When the time comes, you must give it a try.
Anyway, if I die, there will be someone to take care of my wife, mother and children.
Do a job.
What they never expected was that when they were collecting intelligence before leaving, they seemed to know the itinerary of the top scholar.
The top scholar's good friends knew where he was going and even confirmed the date.
I arrived in Sichuan around March 29th.
The top scholar’s friend also said that Ji Yuan always kept his word, and if he said he would arrive on those days, he would definitely arrive on those days.
What's more, it is said that the strong man next to the top scholar was not even with Ji Yuan.
This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If the matter were brought to the attention of Grand Secretary Chu, he might realize that something was wrong.
Sensed something was wrong.
So you won’t let your men go and kill people?
Neither will I.
Chu Daxueshi would only say, "Oh, let them try."
"Don't worry, if it works out, that's great. If it doesn't, I'll help them raise their families."
The subordinates of Chu Daxueshi were very happy at this time.
The killer leader's eyes flashed with ecstasy, Great, that's great.
He knew the other party's whereabouts and that the strong man next to him was not there.
That's great.
Although there were eight of them in their group, they were still afraid of the other party's physique.
Based on this information, they created a perfect plan.
Finally, on the second day of April, they set up an ambush on a steep and narrow mountain road.
Looking at the road nearby, the leader Dong in the front lowered his voice and held the dagger at his waist: "Ah, a little better."
An Dahai, who was half asleep, couldn't understand what the leader said at all.
The people from the Dong family caravan responded one by one.
The general idea is that when leader Dong saw this section of road, he became alert and asked everyone to slow down.
This kind of place is most likely to be ambushed. If there is a blockade from the front and back, people will die.
After the Dong family convoy left this road, leader Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
He passed by here when he was young and suffered losses several times.
However, with their current alertness, even if they were ambushed, they would not dare to show their heads.
Dong led the team and looked back.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but as soon as he saw it he reined in his horse and ran back, with the dagger already drawn.
Eight masked men in tight clothes attacked the champion's cart.
This, this is for the top scholar?!
They are too far away!
Otherwise, he will definitely be saved!
It’s over. He couldn’t even protect himself as a court official!
Wait, what is that secret escort for?
Before Leader Dong could utter a curse, the two men on the ox cart took out two long spears from somewhere, which scared the eight men on the other side.
In the blink of an eye, the secret escorts from behind also rushed over, which made the masked man dumbfounded.
"Kill him!"
"quick!"
It can't be faster at all.
Not to mention the unexpected incident involving Wu Renhao, didn’t it say that Li Shi was not with Ji Zhuangyuan?
They had just considered it for a long time, but if they missed this road, they would have to go back to Kawauchi, which they couldn't bear.
It was difficult to back down from the situation, so I gritted my teeth and did it.
They thought they could take advantage of the fact that the Dong family caravan they knew in front was far away, and the escort agency behind would basically avoid it if possible and would not intervene in such an obvious vendetta.
But everything was beyond their expectations!
The strong man on the ox cart was only able to fight four people.
How come the top scholar in the civil service examination can also use a gun? !
Even though he is not very skilled in using it, he is strong and skillful!
Ji Yuan thought to himself, is it strange that I, a top scholar who has been exercising all year round, know some martial arts?
The longer the cold weapon, the stronger it is.
Even Ji Yuan could hold on and resist a few people.
The masked man had something even more unexpected coming.
The secret escorts who were supposed to stay out of the matter also rushed over, with weapons in their hands.
One of the masked men shouted: "Personal vendetta! The others disperse."
When encountering ordinary robbers, people traveling together will help each other.
If the escort agency knows the rules, it will not intervene when faced with such personal grudges.
Unless, unless their employer is Ji Zhuangyuan?!
The leading killer couldn't believe it.
The bodyguards rushed over from behind.
The Dong family caravan in front also rushed over.
In the middle, Wu Renhao in the middle is fighting one against five!
And Ji Zhuangyuan could resist three of them by himself!
They don't have to win! They just need to hold out until the people in front and behind come over!
It's over.
It's all over.
The life of eating, drinking and having fun is over.
There is only one ending left for them.
Ji Yuan said: "Stop them!"
As they were talking, two slightly hesitant killers ran straight towards the cliff without looking back.
The mountain is so high that if someone falls down, it would be like dropping a stone; not even a sound can be heard.
In the eyes of outsiders, they are professional killers.
But they are also a group of dedicated people.
On weekdays, their employers provide them with good food and drink, but when they want them to silence someone, they must die.
The escorts detained three people, two of them had their tongues bitten, and the other one had his jaw dislocated, which saved his life.
In the blink of an eye, four of the eight masked men were dead.
In the blink of an eye, one of the masked men on Dong's side also took poison.
They may not be very loyal to their masters.
That's their fate.
Their master thinks so, and they think so too.
Otherwise what will happen to the family and children?
Dying now is the best ending.
The three who were still alive were searched thoroughly, and after making sure that they were not seeking death, everyone looked at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan stuck the spear in his right hand into the ground, calmed down his breathing, and saluted everyone: "Thank you very much, thank you very much, if it weren't for everyone, my life would really have to end here."
This is not the place to talk.
The remaining three bodies were dragged to a secluded place on the road.
It's not safe to leave it here, as wild wolves might take it away, but they can't take it with them.
The eyes of the three people who were not dead were filled with fear.
It would be fine if he died, but if he didn't, he would have to face the corpses of his companions and also face torture in the future.
But the most urgent task now is for Leader Dong to know the situation!
Leader Dong thought about it for a while and finally realized the real meaning of Ji Yuan hiring a secret escort. It turned out that it was really to save his life.
"So far from us?"
The combat effectiveness of their caravan is no worse than that of the escort agency.
Ji Yuan cupped his hands and said, "I'm afraid of getting you into trouble. This is my fault in the first place."
Everyone arrived at a place to stay.
Leader Dong was very familiar with this place. We found a room and everyone was able to talk.
If we were to say who in this team is the most frightened, it would probably be An Dahai?
The bodyguards and caravan drivers have traveled all over the country and have seen everything.
Wu Renhao's attitude is not called calmness, but indifference.
It is not for nothing that one is born a general.
But Ji Yuan’s calmness here seems a little different.
Ji Yuan did not explain the cause and effect, he only said that he had offended someone, so someone wanted to kill him.
That's why he set the trap and waited for the other party to come in.
He offered two thousand taels of silver to hire the escort.
It's normal to be so expensive if you want to risk your life.
I stayed away from Leader Dong because I didn’t want to implicate anyone.
Only then did Leader Dong realize that he had really misunderstood Ji Yuan.
If we drag them in, it will be the safest for Jiyuan.
"That's not right. If you follow our team and hire bodyguards directly, they won't dare to take action." After leader Dong finished speaking, everyone noticed it.
Ji Yuan deliberately let the other party take action.
Even left three alive.
Leader Dong was in awe of the top scholar's cunning.
Ji Yuan pointed to the room where the three people were imprisoned and said, "I'll go ask."
None of the escorts accompanied him, but waited outside the door.
To be precise, they took two orders.
One order is to protect the safety of Ji Zhuangyuan and others, two thousand taels.
Another order was to send someone to the capital, for three thousand taels.
Although these two transactions are risky, who wouldn't be tempted?
Ji Yuan entered the room and the three masks were torn off. When they saw Ji Zhuangyuan, many rumors flashed through their minds.
What a fifteen-year-old top scholar.
What is winning six yuan in a row?
What an article with excellent character.
But he didn’t tell them that the top scholar was so scheming?
It seemed like every step was within his calculations.
They are just fish that take the bait.
Someone else thought.
No wonder the higher-ups sent people to kill him.
If you make enemies with such a person, once he grows up, he will definitely become a serious threat to you.
The question that Ji Yuan wanted to ask was also very simple.
Who is the murderer behind this?
It’s a pity that these killers are also unaware of this.
They only know their boss.
Ji Yuan said: "Is your surname Wang?"
yes!
Ji Zhuangyuan knows?!
really.
No matter how you go around, you can't avoid these surnames.
Ji Yuan said: "Write down what else you have done."
Aren't we asking them to confess the people behind the scenes and explain other things?
Ji Yuan said directly: "I have caught you. If anyone does not answer, he will eat a piece of his own flesh."
???
What? !
Ji Yuan picked up a dagger and said, "Cut a piece and I'll feed you a piece. If you want roasted food, I'll make a fire now."
???
The three of them felt like vomiting.
But the other party said it so casually, as if it was just a simple suggestion.
If this is a simple proposal, what's the follow-up? !
What else can he do?!
Anyway, I'm not going to tell the person behind the scenes what I did, so it should be okay, right?
Assassinating a court official is already a capital crime.
Are you afraid of this?
It’s better than eating your own barbecue.
No, I can’t think about it anymore. I’ll feel like vomiting if I think about it again.
Ji Yuan's confident tone inspired them to write a lot of things.
The era was slowly pieced together from the inside.
It doesn’t matter that these people don’t know their boss.
Always do things for your "boss".
Putting these things together, we know who it is.
Ji Yuan looked at it carefully.
From officials from the Ministry of Justice being framed for corruption to the killing of exiled prisoners from the Ministry of Works.
He also wrote documents to frame several people in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel.
It looks like "rain and dew are evenly distributed".
But the biggest beneficiary behind the scenes has already appeared.
Scholar of Chu State.
Ji Yuan was not surprised at all.
He previously believed that Prime Minister Li would not do these things, not because he trusted Prime Minister Li's character.
Rather, the casual assignment is too "capricious" and seems too much like a prank.
When he went to the cabinet ministers, the people from Jixian Hall deliberately asked him if he needed Lord Chu's help.
Ji Yuan began to feel doubtful.
But that would be just doubt.
Now it's confirmed.
For example, the wife of Chu Daxueshi’s surname was Wang.
For example, each of these things were done to clear obstacles and eliminate dissidents for him.
It seems like a lot of things, but it lasted for seven or eight years.
Putting it all together, I have a rough idea of what is going on.
Even these masked men suddenly realized.
Oh, it’s Mr. Chu.
Ji Yuan thought to himself that even Chu Daxueshi didn’t seem to know that he did things in such a stylish way.
It made him doubt.
At that time, he collected all the people in the capital who were related to the Wang family.
What’s frustrating is that everyone knows someone named Wang.
Fortunately, there were several families with particularly close relations, and Scholar Chu was one of them.
Ji Yuan’s doubts were finally resolved and a smile appeared on his face.
alright.
Know who your enemy is.
A person who fights for the first and second place among the court officials.
In this light, it is no wonder that he can smooth over all the things that happened to Wang Changdong, and do it very easily and without any effort.
He probably thought that leveling himself would be the same.
But think about it, eight masked killers, is that enough respect?
Ji Yuan felt relieved, pushed the door open and continued talking to the escorts.
Ji Yuan first handed over a silver note worth one thousand taels, and his heart was bleeding when he gave it to him.
His money!
His money!
Two thousand taels are gone!
The escorts were puzzled.
What about the three thousand taels that I gave as a gift?
Ji Yuan said: "Send them to the designated place and someone will give it to them."
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Ji Yuan said: "I can't run away, and Yin Mao can't run away either, don't worry."
Having said that, Ji Yuan still gave another deposit of 500 taels.
Ji Yuan took a deep breath and said to the escorts who were escorting the three people to the capital: "Just do as I say. Drop them off in the suburbs of Beijing and pass the news to the person I told you about it."
“It’s safer for everyone.”
To whom will Ji Yuan hand the person over?
Who else could it be.
He would give the position to whoever Chu Daxueshi wanted to take.
I believe that with the presence of these three people, Prime Minister Li will be able to resolve his troubles quickly.
With this great favor in mind, Prime Minister Li will definitely help him.
Ji Yuan is very confident about this.
"Oh, right!" Ji Yuan said again, "Please tell the other party a message for me. Ask him if he can repay me for the two thousand five hundred taels. His family is definitely not short of money, but I am."
If it weren’t for the reward for being the top scholar.
His pockets are almost empty!
The escorts didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but they also knew that the other party was definitely capable, so they felt more at ease: "Don't worry, we will definitely pass on the message."
How could Prime Minister Li be incompetent?
Isn't it easy to just reimburse him two thousand five hundred taels?
Ji Yuan watched the team of escorts leave.
For the money, they won't do anything stupid.
These two days have been wonderful.
He was assassinated in the morning and interrogated in the afternoon.
The next day the escort left with his men.
He and the Dong family caravan were also leaving.
However, the other party was going to the capital, while they were going in the opposite direction.
He is about to take office.
Go and be his minor official of the sixth rank.
Leader Dong looked at him, hesitant to speak: "How about taking a break? We are not afraid of wasting time."
After going through such a big thing, you must have a good rest, right?
Ji Yuan, however, swept away his previous slowness and said directly: "Go at a normal speed and make up for the previous time."
"Thank you for your hard work during this period."
When Leader Dong saw that Ji Yuan really didn’t rest, his eyes were full of admiration.
He remained calm in the face of great dangers, worthy of being the top scholar!
Hey, it seems that their young master is really no match for him?
I'm just curious, what kind of changes will such a powerful and calm top scholar bring to Ning'an Prefecture?
Before Ning'an Prefecture changed.
The capital city changed first.
Ji Yuan and the others are still on their way.
Prime Minister Li received a huge surprise.
This surprise made him laugh.
"Let the escorts run again and give these five thousand taels of silver to my disciple."
"Tell him that I'll take care of everything here."
"Wait for the good news."
The position of Prime Minister?
His disciple, who was a latecomer in the class, helped him hold it steadily.
Mr. Chu, you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended.
