"Ah, it's you!" Wu Kejiu, who was sitting on the ground hugging his head and crying, suddenly looked up and saw Du Zhongxiao coming, and couldn't help screaming.

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Naturally it's me." Although you have asked me for trouble many times, after all, you are a fellow countryman, and when you encounter difficulties in a foreign land, how can I not help. Alas, outside the junior staff, after this lesson, go back to your hometown and be an honest man in the future. ”

Wu Kejiu looked at Du Zhongxiao with an indifferent expression, and he didn't know if he was telling the truth or a lie, but he couldn't stop sobbing.

Of course, Du Zhongxiao was just casually perfunctory, and this time he chased all the way, just because of a story that he had some impressions of in his previous life, and it had nothing to do with Wu Kejiu. But since he has rescued people, Du Zhongxiao doesn't mind being a good person.

The case was not complicated, and Niu Er was caught, and he quickly asked about the other people's hiding places. The hiding place of Ma Da and the others is not far from the mouth of the Bianhe River, where there is already a box army of the Jun River, and they can't run away. Once their identities were revealed, they were all arrested.

Du Zhongxiao wanted to turn around and leave, but was left behind by Di Di, the governor of Zhengzhou. This case is simple to say, but it has a great impact on the government and politics, Du Zhongxiao is the first person to put it forward, how can he not be rewarded for his merits. Since Zhang Yuan sent someone to greet his family, it means that he did not have the intention of returning to the Song Dynasty at all, and the officials who had previously proposed to use high-ranking officials to lure him to return to the Song Dynasty would be held accountable. It seems to be a small thing, but it has a lot of impact on the government. Even the fact that there was a lot of clamor for the time being to negotiate peace with the party will inevitably be affected.

Wu Kejiu and He Zhongli are cousins, and Di Di is He Zhongli's father-in-law.

Du Zhongxiao pushed the boat down the river and agreed that Wu Kejiu was deceived by traitors, and he had no treason intentions.

This is the case with officials who were born in Jinshi, and all kinds of relatives are connected to relatives. Even if you are born in a small family, through marriage, you will gain a lot of various relationships in officialdom. Wu Kejiu climbed He Zhongli, a pro-family, went out of his hometown and got I don't know how many benefits.

Standing beside Wu Kejiu, Du Zhongxiao said lightly: "Outside the junior staff, although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a long-term love home. After this incident, you should go back to your hometown as soon as possible. Thinking about steaming wine for big families and clinging to the powerful, it is unreliable. ”

Wu Kejiu wiped a handful of tears and raised his head suddenly: "What did you say!" Where am I worse than you? It's you, who has gained countless benefits from steaming wine, and everyone flatters you, and now you have made such a great achievement. I usually steam wine for others, but in the end I become a prisoner! ”

When Du Zhongxiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I steam wine for others, and I have to do it as a last resort." If it weren't for the excuse, I would have given you all this opportunity. We are originally scholars, but we rely on steaming wine for others to tie up with the powerful, and there is no reason to make people laugh! This time when I went back, I dedicated the method of steaming wine to the imperial court, and it was difficult to steam wine for others in the future. It's better to go back. ”

Wu Kejiu felt that Du Zhongxiao was telling the truth, but he was unwilling, so he just held his head and sobbed.

Du Zhongxiao looked upset, paced to the side, and looked at the sky in a trance. In fact, he should have returned to his hometown with the books he bought, but he dragged on and on in the capital, and finally got involved in such a case. What is the use of saying that it is meritorious service? Even if the court rewards itself as a junior military official, will it do it himself? Only after taking the Jinshi exam can you have a future, and if it has nothing to do with the Jinshi examination, it will be useless in the end. Even if the booklet is added, the court will exempt itself from the test, which will be of no use to Du Zhongxiao. It was not difficult to send out the liberation test, but after it was avoided, it would have to pass the provincial test and the palace test, and in the end it was empty.

After sobbing for a while, Wu Kejiu raised his head and said, "I was stronger than you in everything, and since you steamed wine at home, I met a nemesis." Now it's like this again, when I go back to the township, how can I meet people? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "You bullied me and the Han family that day, there was really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, and I didn't survive it." To tell you the truth, I wanted to knock you to the ground, step on one foot, and not roll over for thousands of years. Today, I only see that you are pitiful, and you can't have that kind of thought. Outside of the petty staff, don't bully others in the future. This time you meet me with a good temper, don't bother with you, you won't be able to do it in the future. ”

In fact, Du Zhongxiao is not indifferent to Wu Kejiu, but he can't care. Wu Kejiu bit himself to death because he was deceived, and Zhizhou Di Di came back to protect him, and the matter could only pass like this. Looking at Wu Kejiu's appearance, Du Zhongxiao sighed in his heart. What annoys him the most is that Wu Kejiu can't let go of it in his heart, and he will continue to entangle in the future and cause something in his hometown.

It wasn't until noon that Di Di dealt with the case clearly and summoned Du Zhongxiao.

After the salute and the arrangement to sit down, Di Di said: "This time, you have the foresight of the candle and discovered the party conspiracy in a small place, and the credit is not small. I should judge the court and reward it heavily. I heard that you are going to the capital to study? ”

"Not bad. The student's family cultivates and reads heirlooms, and they are determined to start a career and go to the capital to gain some knowledge. ”

Di Di nodded: "Okay." This case is not a small matter, I have sorted out the file here, and you will return to Beijing with you tomorrow. Xuzhou does not have a state school, if you agree, Ying Tianfu Jiang Xianggong and I have an old relationship, you can write a book, how about you go to Ying Tianfu to study? ”

Du Zhongxiao arched his hand: "The students are grateful." I'm afraid—"

Di Di waved his hand: "It's okay." Jiang Xianggong likes to reward the backwards, if you take my book, you will be able to enter the Tianfu Academy. ”

Du Zhongxiao thanked him again and again. The place to study in the world, in addition to Kaifeng Mansion, is the first in Tianfu Academy, and many of the current famous ministers have come out of there, including Fan Zhongyan. There are many famous teachers there, and there is no shortage of outstanding students, so it is natural to be able to go.

Du Zhongxiao knew that Di Di's face-saving was largely related to He Zhongli. After really meeting, He Zhongli may not think much of Wu Kejiu, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is a relative of his family after all. Di Di wanted to protect his son-in-law, so he had to give Du Zhongxiao benefits. Of course, it is naturally good to really be able to go to Ying Tianfu to study, it is the first-class academy in the world, and there is no other place to compare. It's just that Ying Tianfu Academy is more traditional, and it is really a place to do learning, and Du Zhongxiao is a little disliked. He studied for the imperial examination, and he was only afraid of being depressed when he did his studies.

Out of the hall, Du Zhongxiao was a little depressed, and always felt that this result was not what he wanted. Ying Tianfu has good teachers and friends, but there are more scholars and scholars who are dedicated to sages and scholars, is it really a suitable place to study?

Wu Kejiu was still sitting there with his head in his hands, and when he saw Du Zhongxiao coming over, he raised his head and asked, "Little official, I am the one who has caused you this time, do you really not hold a grudge in your heart?" Now your family in the county is powerful, but I am afraid that when I return to the township, I will be bullied by you. ”

Du Zhongxiao said angrily: "I have a good future, I should be attentive, how can I have the heart to entangle with you!" After returning to my hometown, as long as you don't come to my house to worry about it, I will naturally not bother to pay attention to you. All the things that used to be, forget it. ”

Wu Kejiu was silent. In the past few months, the business of "Qixiangju" has deteriorated, and some of them have been unable to hold on. Especially with "its fragrant residence", which does not sell spirits, it is naturally not comparable to other homes, and can only decline day by day. Wu Kejiu saw that the matter was irreparable, so he could only return to his hometown, and he was afraid that Du Zhongxiao, who was proud of the spring breeze, would trouble him. At this time, he became afraid of what he had done before.

Du Zhongxiao's face was calm, and after a while, he raised his head suddenly. Perhaps, I can find another way and not leave the capital?
