The news of the assassination of the prison army Zhang Zhong spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire Nanchang City, and most of the people celebrated with their crowns.

However, it is a pity that the righteous man did not blow up Eunuch Zhang to death, but blew himself up to serious injury, and I heard that he had died of his injuries in prison.

However, the blood of this righteous man was not shed in vain, and Eunuch Zhang was obviously much more restrained, and he did not dare to walk around the streets easily, and he also stopped arresting King Ning's traitorous party.

……

The remnant sun slanted on the top of the mountain, and twilight fell. A horse-drawn carriage was heading south, and a child with yellowed hair peeked out of the window and looked out of the road.

"Uncle Mo, where are we going?" The child timidly asked the man who was driving the car.

Wearing a hat on his head, he drove the carriage with a cold face, and was in a very bad mood at this time, because today's assassination failed, and replied coldly: "Lingnan Guangzhou Mansion!" ”

He Zhi'er said weakly: "I don't want to go to Lingnan, I want to go back to Nanchang to find my brother!" ”

Mo Guan said expressionlessly: "Your brother is dead, you have to remember that Zhang Zhong, Xu Tai, and that Xu Jin are all your enemies." ”

He Zhi'er's face turned white, and her eyes rolled down!

……

As night fell, in the study of the county government's back hall, Xu Jin was listening to the report of the family Ding Dabao.

"Master, the little one inquired clearly, He Zhimin's sister is called He Zhi'er, and Grandpa Zhang sent someone to search the whole city but didn't find her!"

Xu Jin was inexplicably relaxed when he heard this, it seems that He Zhimin had made arrangements before the action and had already sent his sister away.

……

On June 18, Wang Shouren, the governor of Southern Jiangxi Province, who had gone north to offer prisoners, finally returned to Nanchang City, and the gentry and officials who were tossed miserable by Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong were overjoyed and went out of the city to greet them.

Wang Shouren's journey to the north to offer prisoners this time was not smooth, because when today's son refused to accept the prisoners, he sent back Lao Wang's requests for merit one after another. Wang Shouren had no choice but to go to Hangzhou to find the eunuch Zhang Yong, and finally Zhang Yong agreed to come forward to persuade the Son of Heaven not to continue to Jiangxi.

It is said that this Zhang Yong is also one of the eunuchs favored by Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, and his status is still above Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Yong's reputation is much better, and he is more upright.

Wang Shouren handed over King Ning to Zhang Yong, and re-wrote a letter asking for merit, explaining that he had quelled King Ning's rebellion under the "wise guidance" of the Son of Heaven, and also wrote the names of Jiang Bin, Zhang Yong, Xu Tai, Zhang Zhong and others on the merit book.

Zhang Yong took Wang Shouren's request to Yangzhou to meet the Son of Heaven, and this time Emperor Zhengde accepted Wang Shouren's sacrifice of prisoners, and agreed not to go to Jiangxi, but to hold a prisoner ceremony in Nanjing, which saved the people of Jiangxi a disaster.

At the beginning of July, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai finally left Nanchang and returned to the north with thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp, loaded with extorted gold and silver treasures and antique characters. On the same day, the sound of firecrackers in Nanchang City was as festive as the New Year, and finally sent the two plague gods away.

……

Summer to autumn, in a blink of an eye it is the season of osmanthus fragrance, the autumn (township test) of the 14th year of Ming Zhengde is about to begin, Nanchang City has become lively in vain, the streets are full of literati who came to catch the exam, the literary meeting is one after another, and the atmosphere of the township test is getting stronger and stronger.

However, this excitement only belongs to others, Xu of the cup is still hiding at home to recuperate, and the candidates of the same class often mention Xu Sanyuan, some people are happy, some people are gloating, but more people are sighing.

I think that Xu Jin has passed the county test, the government test, and the hospital test within a year, and all of them have won the first case, becoming the first talent in Jiangxi to even have three yuan in small and medium-sized schools since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xu Jin's good luck seems to have run out, and on the eve of the township exam, he actually fractured his right hand, resulting in not being able to get off the exam, and the next township exam will have to wait for another three years.

Three years, how many three years are there in life? Wouldn't it be a pity to waste it like this?

Of course, Xu Jin is only sixteen years old this year, and he will only be nineteen years old in three years, but this age is really not amazing, unless he has to win the first place.

……

In the fourteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, on the tenth day of August, the autumn was high and cool, and the sky was blue like washing. In a courtyard of hundreds of square meters in the east of Nanchang City, the grapes on the grape trellis are ripe, and the air is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

At this time, the stone table under the grape trellis was full of all kinds of melons and fruits, and Xu Jin was lying comfortably on the bamboo rocking chair, and the cool breeze blowing on his face made people feel very comfortable.

"Master, is this comfortable?" Mei Wan Yue'er asked with a sweet smile while kneading Xu Jin's thighs.

Xu Jin hummed pleasantly, and a white jade hand next to him stretched out, and there was a peeled grape twisted on his fingers. Xu Jin opened his mouth to eat the grapes, and deliberately bit the other party's fingers.

"Ouch!" Fei Ruyi snorted softly, and glanced at the bad classmate Xu with a red face, and the shameful beauty made people's hearts shake.

Fei Jixiang, who was sitting on the opposite side of the stone table and watching "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" leisurely, glanced over here quickly, lowered his head and continued to read, his expression was obviously a little unnatural.

Xie Xiaowan, who was doing needlework, raised her pretty face and glanced at her father-in-law, and then made her sweat towel as if nothing happened.

It is said that since Wang Shouren came back, Xu Jin resigned from the official position of the county order, and recuperated from his injuries and studied with peace of mind. Since it was not a county order, he naturally had to move out of the county office, so Xu Jin bought a house in the east of Nanchang City to live in.

Xu Jin didn't want to fall into the root of the disease, so he planned to stay in Nanchang for a long time to recuperate, until the bones were completely healed before leaving back to Shangrao County, so as not to be affected by the injury.

And Fei Ruyi couldn't rest assured that Xu Jin was injured, and insisted on staying in Nanchang to help take care of Xu Jin, Fei Cai, who came to Nanchang to pick up his wife and go back to Leadshan County, had to agree, after all, it was a sure thing for Ruyi to marry into the Xu family in the future.

Of course, in order to avoid "accidents" between young people, Fei Cai specially rented a house nearby for Fei Ruyi to live in, and also left his daughter Fei Jixiang as a "supervisor".

So, in the past two months, Xu Jin has lived a comfortable life of rice worms under the careful service of the women, not only recovering well from his injuries, but even gaining a few pounds.

"Ziqian, your life is at ease, my eldest brother and I are tired enough!"

Everyone under the grape trellis fled to the public, only to see Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong walking in from outside the moon gate, both of them looking tired.

Xu Jin smiled and asked, "The people are dedicated to the people, how did you do in the first test?" ”

There are three township examinations, each of which lasts for three consecutive days, during which you have to spend the night in the examination room. Today is the tenth day of the first month of August, and Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong have just participated in the first session of the township test.
