A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 67

      Fortunately, Xiao Jingduo didn’t put too much glue on the torch, and the pool was next to it. After a few moments, the torch fell to the ground, and the spark was extinguished immediately, and there were no uncontrollable consequences.

    It’s just that other people are frightened enough.

    Qiu Ju was so scared that her face turned white, and she called weakly: “Darlang-Jun, do you still want to experiment?”

    The others were silent.

& nbsp;

    Xiao Jingduo and others covered up the traces and returned to the city pretending to be out on the green. The carriage drove into the official mansion, and when a yamen saw it, he gallantly walked over to lead the horse: “Xiao County Chancellor, are you back?”

    He turned around immediately, and could only see a faint smoke rising from the southwest. Xiao Jingduo asked, “What happened just now?”

    “Alchemy?” Xiao Jingduo glanced in that direction again and said nothing.

    “Xiao County Chancellor, the chief clerk and the county magistrate negotiated with the county magistrate in a few days to do something for the county magistrate. Would you like to go and see?”

      He was about to refuse, when the words came into his mouth, but suddenly changed his mind.

    “Now the chief clerk and the county lieutenant are discussing legal matters?”

     “Yes, they all gathered in the yard of the original county magistrate, and now they are preparing to set up the venue for the ritual.”

    “Yes.” Xiao Lin replied.

    Chen county magistrate’s yard was really lively, except for the chief clerk and county lieutenant, many other minor officials were also crowded here. When they saw Xiao Jingduo come in, they all walked up to say hello.

    “Xiao Xiancheng, you are back!”

    Xiao Jingduo nodded one by one, then walked to the master, silently watching the master busy.

    “Will you do something here in a few days?”

    “That’s right.” The master turned back to see Xiao Jingduo, and introduced Xiao Jingduo enthusiastically, “The immortal master said that the effect of casting spells in the place of death is better, and the county magistrate can also get out of the sea of ​​misery early and reincarnate. reincarnated.”

      Xiao Jingduo stood outside for a while and then said, “You guys are busy first, I’ll go to the house to see the county magistrate on the last trip.”

    Chen County Magistrate’s house is no different from a few days ago. The east room is still quiet and elegant, and the decoration of the west room has not changed much, only the quilt on the bed has been replaced. Xiao Jingduo walked around the Westinghouse and went to the study.

    A tall bookshelf was placed against the wall in the east room, and it was full of books. Because it has been untouched for a long time, a lot of dust has accumulated.

    Xiao Jingduo picked up a volume of books, and then coughed twice due to the swaying dust. He waved his hand to disperse the dust, and when his breathing was smooth, he slowly opened the scroll.

    This time he picked out the book with less ash, and just opened it halfway, something fell.

    Xiao Jingduo squatted down and unfolded the white paper that fell on the ground. Although he looked calm, he quietly put the note away after reading it.

    After restoring the second volume to its original position, Xiao Jingduo did not stay any longer, but went out immediately to say goodbye. The clerk didn’t understand why Xiao Jingduo had to leave when he first came, and greeted: “Okay, just leave it to us here, Xiaoxian Cheng, go back first!”

    When it was time for the Sanya, the county government was very crowded with people coming and going. Xiao Jingduo walked eastwards after leaving the county magistrate’s yard, rushing all the way, as if he wanted to go back quickly. But at this time it was time for the office to be scattered. There were a lot of office officials on the road, but everyone had to run over to say hello to Xiao Jingduo, so Xiao Jingduo could only stop again and again to greet people on the road.

    It had been quite a while when Xiao Jingduo finally got rid of the others and returned to the courtyard where he lived. Xiao Jingduo seemed to breathe a long sigh of relief, and immediately walked quickly into the yard.

    He stepped over the threshold, took two random steps, and turned to an angle that could not be seen from the outside. At this time, the expression on his face suddenly became cold and pale, he stopped and looked towards Glancing behind.

    At nightfall, two people in black cloaks whispered in the back street of the county government office: “He went to the county magistrate Chen’s house again today, and he seems to have got something.”

    “Today I got some things in Chen County Magistrate’s house.” At the same time, Xiao Jingduo also said to Xiao Lin, “Now, I want you to do something for me.”

    After dawn, Xiao Jingduo handled official business as usual, and looked through the files of the past years, it seemed that it was no different from ordinary. However, after leaving the office, Xiao Jingduo avoided the crowd and secretly went to Butcher Feng.

    This time, Xiao Jingduo did not go to Feng Butcher’s house, but went directly to the market stall to find someone. Butcher Feng was cutting pork for others, and when he narrowed his eyes, he saw Xiao Jingduo standing across the street. He knew it in his heart and greeted everyone with a smile: “I still have important things to do at home, and today’s business will be done here first. Whoever needs pork, please come back tomorrow, and tomorrow’s fractions will be waived!”

    The people who were crowding around to buy meat were naturally unhappy and stopped in front of the stall to complain, but Butcher Feng insisted on closing the stall, and even said that he would pay a fraction tomorrow. Even if these people were unhappy, they could only bear it.

    Feng Butcher got out of the stall and ran towards Xiao Jingduo with his huge package on his back: “Xiaoxian Cheng, why are you here? If you have any orders, send someone directly to spread the word. That’s alright, why did you come here in person!”

    Feng Butcher was quick to talk and chatter, but Xiao Jingduo looked indifferent and didn’t say a word. After walking to the secluded place, Xiao Jingduo suddenly lowered his voice and said to Butcher Feng, “Do you remember what we discussed last time?”

    Feng Butcher was taken aback by this, he immediately put aside his usual stance, and also cautiously asked: “Xiaoxian Cheng, you mean those scum beasts?”

    Though Xiao Jingduo disliked what he said, he did not deny it, but nodded lightly: “Yes. I have the evidence that the county magistrate Chen hid.”

    Feng Butcher was stunned for a while, and then he reacted normally, and said ecstatically: “Xiao Xiancheng, you mean, you have evidence in your hand?”

    Xiao Jingduo let out a “hmm”, but Butcher Feng was so happy that he couldn’t control his hands and feet: “This is so good, it’s really eye-catching!”

    Similar to Chang’an, Jinjiang County, the shops and markets are all concentrated in one square. Although the scale is far from that of Chang’an, there are many people on the road. Feng Butcher danced with excitement and accidentally hit a passer-by. The passersby immediately glared at him. Only then did Feng Butcher realize that he was too complacent, and hurriedly put his hands together to apologize: “I’m sorry, I’m wrong, this guy Don’t blame big brother.”

    A big man like Butcher Feng takes up a lot of space even if he is low and small. Passers-by don’t want to provoke this kind of evil spirit.

    After apologizing, Butcher Feng found that other people in Fangshi were also staring at him strangely. Butcher Feng felt embarrassed and couldn’t help saying: “Nothing happened just now, I was thinking too much. Fascinated, folks, don’t take offense, don’t take offense hahaha…”

    When Butcher Feng did these things, Xiao Jingduo stood not far away, and when Butcher Feng finally calmed down, he stepped forward and poured cold water mercilessly: “Just take It’s just the evidence, and you can’t send it out, you’re too happy too soon.”

    Feng Butcher’s face stiffened: “That’s right… In Jinjiang County, who can take care of them…”

    “It’s not impossible.” Xiao Jingduo said again, “If you send these evidences to the governor of Rongzhou, and let the governor send troops to destroy the rebels, you can kill these people in one fell swoop.”

      Butcher Feng’s expression became serious, and he said, “Xiaoxian Cheng, I know what you have come to do with me. Do you need someone to send the evidence to the prefect for you?”

    Finally understood, Xiao Jingduo nodded: “Yes.”

      I’m strong like a bear. Our elders in Feng’s family also praised me for my strength. I was born to kill pigs. With my physique, ordinary people can’t help me. If I meet someone I can’t beat on the road, I can still run. If you risk your life, you will definitely send the evidence to the Inspector!”

      People are slaughtered.”

     Of course Butcher Feng was dissatisfied with this, he opened his mouth to refute, but when he met Xiao Jingduo’s line of sight, Butcher Feng closed his mouth sullenly, yes, he really couldn’t beat the Xiao County Chancellor.

    Intimidating Feng Butcher with his eyes, Xiao Jingduo continued: “It’s too dangerous for you to deliver the letter alone. When the time is right in a few days, I’ll go to Rongzhou with you.”

    Feng Butcher was taken aback: “Xiao Xiancheng, this is absolutely impossible! This road is difficult and dangerous, if you make a mistake…”

    “Needless to say, I’ve made up my mind.” Xiao Jingduo said, “Besides, how can you meet the governor when you’re white? I’d better go there in person. And I’ll walk with you, this way can take care of each other.”

      Don’t worry, no matter what happens on the road, I, Feng Xiang, will definitely protect you even if I risk my life.”

    Xiao Jingduo did not refuse, but he thought to himself that it was not certain who would protect and who would be comprehensive.

    The days of doing things in the county government are getting closer. Although Xiao Jingduo said nothing on the surface, he made a lot of preparations in secret.

    One night, a figure pushed open the back door of the county government office and quietly led a horse out.

    Feng Butcher had been waiting for a long time. After seeing the tall figure leading the horse, he immediately ran up, lowered his voice and said, “Xiao County Chancellor, you are here!”

    “Be quieter, don’t disturb anyone, we’ll go now.”

    “I know the route of the yamen patrolling, just avoid it.”

    Feng Butcher’s heart was extremely complicated when he heard this sentence, Xiao Jingduo quickly got on his horse, found that there was no movement behind him, and looked back strangely: “What’s wrong?”

    “Nothing, let’s go!”

     The forest path was muddy, and there was still rain in the middle of the day. The dark horseshoe clattered across the puddle and smashed a bright moon.

    Xiao Jingduo and Feng Butcher soon disappeared in the forest, and in the distance was a dense forest that was almost dark green. In such a night, the deep forest was like a dormant beast. With a big mouth, he was staring at the night pedestrian.

    The author has something to say: Lao Feng: There is a curfew now, we have to abide by the rules and regulations of the court…

    Xiao Jingduo: I know the patrol route of the yamen, just avoid it.

    Lao Feng’s heart: … my God, is this the second master assigned to us by the court?
