Be a master through ancient times

Lin Futong wanted to rob and kill people, but when the knife was on his neck, he realized that he had fallen for it.At that time, the people he sent down had already been captured by the group of people rushing out from behind the mountain.

"Lord Lin, the old man waited so hard for you." Mu Yuanxiu stood in front of Lin Futong, looking with satisfaction at his eyes that widened from excessive shock.

"You have always sent people to follow me?" Lin Futong calmed down. After all, the worst outcome has already happened, and it will not help to be nervous again at this time.

Mu Yuanxiu shook his head: "Rather than sending someone to follow you, it's better to say that all your actions are under our control."

"You mean?!" After the initial shock, Lin Futong immediately understood, "All of this was planned by you? You deliberately let me hear about the extra account book, and then lured me here?"

"That's right. We all know that this account book is very important to you, Mr. Lin." Of course, you have to hit seven inches to hit a snake.

Lin Futong sighed: "If you care about it, you will be chaotic. But it doesn't matter. If Steward Zhao wakes up, even if he doesn't have the account book, he can report on me."

At this moment, he didn't feel that he was losing here.He felt that since Steward Zhao escaped unharmed when the carriage fell off the cliff, he had already lost.He didn't lose to the strategy, but to God's will.

Mu Yuanxiu laughed: "I thought Mr. Lin was so smart, that's all. Do you really believe that someone who fell from such a high place can be cured?" Refers to the high cliff.

Lin Futong's eyes widened again: "You mean? No! I have seen that Zhao with my own eyes. Although he is in a coma, the doctor said that he will wake up soon." Otherwise, he Don't be so anxious that you will show your feet.

"Steward Zhao, he died last night." Chu Ci helped him reveal the secret, "When he was found that day, he was already on the verge of death, and he could only vent his anger. If my lord can hold his breath, we really can't do anything about you .As for the one you saw, it was not Butler Zhao. If you had looked closely that day, you would have recognized it."

Lin Futong kept changing his expression, from peaceful to ferocious, and finally sighed dejectedly: "God's will trick people! I have tried all my tricks, but I am not as good as Mr. Chu, you can penetrate into people's hearts, and you can understand my thoughts clearly. Yes. You also came up with this plan, right?"

Chu Ci smiled and said nothing, but Mu Yuanxiu admitted for him: "Yes, he was the one who came up with the idea. Including this account book, when you read it just now, did you find that it is exactly the same as yours, so you are so anxious Do you want to do it? Look, is this your book?"

Mu Yuanxiu opened the account book, and Lin Futong only glanced at it for a while, and found that although the handwriting in this account book was exactly the same as the one he got, the content was quite different.

He smiled bitterly: "Is there never a second account book?"

"My lord Lin, you made a mistake in viewing people's hearts too complicatedly. Butler Zhao didn't hold back. If you trust him, send him far away, and the following things won't happen." Chu Ci sighed.

Lin Futong showed an increasingly bitter smile, yes, if he kept his mouth shut, the person would not be found, and if he could not be found, he would not have to lose his sense of control because of worry. After killing Qi Luzhi, he brought people to surround and kill the imperial envoy.However, under the circumstances at that time, he had no choice but to silence him.

After being an official for so many years, the only thing he has deeply comprehended is that sentence: the dead will not reveal the secret.Living people will definitely do bad things. Didn't he fall on a half-dead person this time?

Lin Futong was taken back, it was a long night and dreamy, they interrogated overnight.Facing the overwhelming evidence, Lin Futong could only bow his head and plead guilty. He confessed to his plot to kill Zhao Steward's family and Qi Luzhi.

After signing and signing, the case that caused a sensation in Southern Fujian Province finally came to an end and became a topic of discussion among the common people after dinner.

But this does not mean that Mu Yuanxiu's task is completed.He still remembered that he was sent to Southern Fujian to investigate Lin Futong's bribery case.The rest of the cases are all derived from it.

And this bribery case is not just as simple as being involved with spies.The amount of bribes involved is huge, comparable to the salt business case more than ten years ago.At that time, the emperor was angry, and hundreds of thousands of people were implicated. The canal from Nanjiang Mansion to Kyoto was red for three or four days before it gradually became clear.This time, I am afraid that I don't know how many people will die.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuanxiu shook his head, he had already sent the official document, and he was waiting for the Holy Majesty to make a ruling.Before the imperial decree came, he could only ask as many things as possible.

Because the case was so involved that it was not humane, so after Lin Futong pleaded guilty, Chu Ci consciously stopped inquiring, and went to the Tixue Division to discuss with Du Yu the original Zhangzhou government's "full management" plan. government test".Because he has been busy running around with Mu Yuanxiu recently, he has not been ready for the release of the paper.It was already mid-March at this time, and if the test papers were not released, I'm afraid they would not be able to print them out in time.At this time, Chu Ci especially missed the printer in his office—the one affectionately called "the source of evil" by his students.

Du Yu stared at Chu Ci steadfastly, until he looked embarrassed, and then said: "You, you, you are not happy with your own affairs, but you push the old man to do what should be done. It’s a little unqualified.”

Chu Ci laughed twice: "Isn't this an acquaintance's entrustment? Mr. Mu came from a long way, and if he doesn't understand the situation, the next official will naturally be more tolerant."

"Your worry has muddied the water in Nanfu Province. Now everyone is in danger. They are afraid that the imperial envoy will come to the door at any time." Du Yu joked, and I have heard many rumors these days. That is to say, the arrest of Lord Lin and the assassination of Lord Qi, the governor, were all caused by Chu Ci.

"Since ancient times, the clear ones have been clear, and the turbid ones have been turbid. The clear ones cannot be disturbed, and the turbid ones can't be washed clean. What's more, maybe after changing the water, the capital of Southern Fujian Province will be very different from before?" Chu Ci said. Some are meaningful.

After hearing this, Du Yu murmured to himself, "Yes, what is clear is clear by itself, and what is turbid is turbid by itself. There are too many turbid things, and it becomes a sin to be clean."

He recalled how vigorous he was when he was young, eagerly wanting to turn this Southern Fujian Province into a pure land, and recalled every sleepless night in the past ten years, when he was struggling and depressed, he had to admit that for these people He is happy with the ending.

"Okay, let's not talk about them. Can you read this test paper?" Du Yu took out a test paper from the desk and handed it to Chu Ci.

After Chu Ci took it, he found that the test paper was actually a [-]-point system.Among them, Chinese and moral education each account for [-] points, and nine chapters account for [-] points.The topic is based on the textbook, and the content is also the part that can be learned in this month. It can be seen that the person who made the question has studied it carefully.

Chu Ci was very pleasantly surprised: "Master Du, who issued this test paper? I want to chat with him."

Du Yu pretended to be unhappy and looked at Chu Ci: "What? Master Chu doesn't believe that the official will produce the test papers? Although some of them are based on the test papers that Master Chu has produced in the past, but this topic arrangement, It was all done by the old man alone!"

Chu Ci hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Lord Du, you misunderstood. It is a great thing that you can personally produce the examination papers for the students of Zhangzhou Prefecture. The officials did not expect to have such an honor. This is why I misunderstood the meaning. Very good, but I have a question, why is the moral education score higher than the nine chapters?"

Mr. Du was also very surprised: "Education of virtue is very important. Be a person first, and learn later. If a person lacks even the most basic virtues, how can he be good at learning?"

Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, and then secretly thought that he was stupid. He looked at these three subjects according to the current standard. In his heart, language and mathematics are the main subjects, and moral education should be the secondary subjects.Unexpectedly, this is an ancient time with extremely high moral standards and strong binding force. I am afraid that in the hearts of many people, the book of moral education is the most important book for children's enlightenment.

"It's the lower officials who are confused. Thank you Master Du for producing the test papers. When the test papers are published, the lower officials will definitely ask the craftsmen to print the authors of the questions, so that everyone can see how much you value our students." Come to think of it, those old masters who objected , you should also try to let go of your prejudices, right?

Du Yu didn't expect it to be like this. He never cheated others when he came up with the question, so he naturally wouldn't object to him using his reputation to persuade others. After all, it was also good for him.

However, he suddenly reached out and took the test paper back from Chu Ci's hand.

"Lord Du, this..." Chu Ci stared blankly at his hands, opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to react.

Du Yu was also surprised that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, he smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Since I want to sign, I have to read the test paper carefully, if there are any wrong questions or typos, wouldn't it make me laugh out loud? How about this, when you leave tomorrow, come back to this old man to take back the test paper, how about it?"

Chu Ci was so cute by the old man's behavior, his eyes crooked with a smile that almost made Du Yu laugh, and was about to slap the test paper on his face.

After laughing, Chu Ci suddenly remembered something again: "Lord Du, I want to ask you for a few days off to go home."

"What's the matter? Master Chu has started to think about lifelong affairs?" Du Yugang was laughed at by him, and immediately started to find a place.

Chu Ci laughed, shook his head and said, "No, I already have someone I like." A gentle figure flashed in his mind, that person should still be on the battlefield now, but it's a pity that the distance between the south and the north is too great It's far away, and he can't do anything if he wants to inquire. He can only hope that the people from Steward Xu's caravan will arrive there as soon as possible.

"Really? I still want to secure a matchmaker for you." Du Yu was very disappointed. With such a good son-in-law, which one is cheaper?

"Then why are you taking leave?"

"My brother and sister-in-law are happy to have twins. This is a big event for my Chu family. In addition, since I arrived in Nanfu Province, I haven't returned home. I adopted Jingshu before, and I want to take this opportunity Put her name on the family tree." Chu Ci tried hard to persuade Du Yu to allow him to leave, his reasons were so good, why not?

Mentioning Lu Jingshu, Du Yu was silent for a while, obviously thinking of that old friend who died tragically.

"That's all right. Master Chu has been working hard since he took office, and his contribution to the Southern Fujian Province is obvious to all. It's time to go back. How about this, I will grant you half a month's family leave, how about it?"

Chu Ci was overjoyed. He originally planned to invite him for about ten days, but he didn't expect that Mr. Du agreed for fifteen days.If he travels day and night, he can go back and forth for at most six days, so that he can stay at home for eight or nine days!

"Thank you, sir!" After receiving the approval slip, Chu Ci was so happy that he almost gave Du Yu a warm hug.

Du Yu shook his head and laughed.It was at this time that he felt that Master Chu was really a young man in his early twenties.
