Great Wei scholar

Li Xin called out, asking Xu Qingxiao to come in.

"it is good."

Xu Qingxiao walked directly into the mansion without any hesitation.

Li Xin went inside and closed the door. The house was rather bleak. Although there were traces of cleaning, there was no trace of life. It should be an empty house that was bought and waited for appreciation.

"Brother Xu, this matter is of great importance. Brother Yu invited you here out of desperation. I hope Brother Xu will not be offended."

When Li Xin opened his mouth, he first apologized and was very respectful to Xu Qingxiao.

"Your brother is serious. You are so anxious. It seems to be an important matter, but Brother Yu is puzzled. What is it?"

Xu Qingxiao had some guesses in his heart, but he couldn't be sure, so he asked the other party.

After saying this, Li Xin didn't talk nonsense and answered directly.

"Brother Xu, do you know Cheng Lidong?"

he asked.

"know."

Hearing this name, Xu Qingxiao knew that his guess was right.

But what makes Xu Qingxiao a little uncomfortable is, why isn't Cheng Lidong dead yet?It seems that Wu Yan's fate is more than good.

"Do you have any grudge against him?"

Li Xin asked again.

"No grudges, no grudges."

"However, Mr. Li Dongcheng, I went to Ping'an County a few days ago. At that time, when I was in despair, I never thought that there is no unparalleled road. I survived by luck."

"But Mr. Cheng has always believed that I practiced the so-called strange arts. Brother Li, to be honest, I didn't even know what the strange arts were at the time."

"I didn't know what a strange art is until today, and I am deeply speechless about it."

Xu Qingxiao didn't say it cryptically, on the contrary, he was very straightforward, just acting like I'm not afraid of being suspected by others.

After saying this, Li Xin nodded immediately, and then continued to speak.

"Brother Xu, I naturally believe that you have not practiced different arts."

"It's just that Cheng Lidong used some unfounded excuses to say that brother Xu was terminally ill at the time and there was no cure, but he suddenly recovered on his own. It's hard to justify it, so he insisted that brother Xu practiced a different technique."

"Let my father order that brother Xu be arrested and tortured for interrogation."

Li Xin said.

At that moment, Xu Qingxiao frowned a little, this guy is really ruthless, he has come to Nanyu Mansion and still won't let him go?

And there is no evidence, but staring at me?

Is someone upset with me?

It's just that Xu Qingxiao didn't rush to ask Li Xin about his father's decision.

Instead, he snorted coldly.

"I, Xu, don't like to fight for profit, but I can't let others slander me. Brother Li, can you help me, I want to meet the Fujun and confront Cheng Lidong face to face."

"No, I will go to Brother Wang Ru now and ask him to summon all the literati to confront him in front of everyone."

"When I allow someone to do things, I have always had a clear conscience. Scholars of my generation may not have the power to restrain a chicken, but they still have passion."

Xu Qingxiao was angry, of course it was fake.

He wasn't afraid to confront him, anyway, the other party had no evidence, and what he was doing now was nothing more than pretending to show Li Xin.

It is normal for a normal person's first reaction to be wronged to be confronted. If the first reaction is something else, it proves that the person has a ghost in his heart.

Sure enough, as Xu Qingxiao became so angry, Li Xin was even more convinced that Cheng Lidong had wronged a good guy.

"Brother Xu, I think so too, but don't worry, my father is aware of the details, and his first reaction is that it is impossible."

"However, this matter involves strange magic. Due to legal principles, my father can only let Cheng Lidong investigate, but only secretly investigate. No arrest, detention, or interrogation is allowed."

"After the order, my father specially asked me to come to Brother Xu. It was a good idea in advance. Brother Xu, my father valued you very much. After all, you are a great talent in our Nanyu Mansion. Please rest assured, Brother Xu. If Cheng Lidong dares to wrong you, my father The first to disagree."

Li Xin's words can be regarded as an attitude, as long as Cheng Lidong doesn't have sufficient evidence, then don't try to trouble you.

Hearing this, Xu Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface, he first thanked her, and soon continued to be angry.

"It's hard for me to swallow Cheng Lidong's slander against me for meritorious service. Moreover, even if he secretly investigates, it makes me very unhappy. Such crimes are like dung, and I dare not touch them or touch them. .”

Xu Qingxiao was still aggrieved, this time it wasn't an act.

Just ask, I study hard, study hard, attend banquets occasionally, sing songs, eat delicious food, and suddenly someone comes over to say something.

There is a trace of cloth trench, oh, you are a messenger, you have been laid.

Who cares about reading books.

Youdao is not to guard against a gentleman and a villain. Cheng Lidong is obviously a villain. From the moment he was interrogated in Pingan County, Xu Qingxiao knew that this guy must be the kind of person who will use any means to achieve his goals.

After saying this, Li Xin nodded, agreeing with what Xu Qingxiao said.

If you want to talk about other things, you still say that the crime of strange magic is feces. The description is correct. Whoever encounters it is disgusting. You are disgusting even if you haven't practiced it.

But soon Li Xin continued.

"Brother Xu's experience, Brother Yu sympathizes, but it is not without a solution."

Li Xin's words made Xu Qingxiao curious.

"How to deal with it?"

Xu Qingxiao asked.

"Fame."

Fame?

Xu Qingxiao was a little curious.

"Well, if Brother Xu has a reputation, then Cheng Lidong is not a position that can be moved. The Wei law, a scholar with a reputation, will not be punished, and will not be imprisoned."

"Unless it's a big case, and even if it's a big case, it's not Cheng Lidong's turn to take care of it, at least it's at my father's level."

"Brother Xu, Brother Yu will let you know more about it. This year's government test is highly valued by His Majesty. The top 33 people in the government test can make an exception to bless their fame. Of course, they are the top 33 people in all the government tests in the Great Wei Dynasty."

Li Xin revealed a secret.

In an instant, Xu Qingxiao understood.

Generally speaking, one must enter the Beijing Imperial Examination for fame and fame, and only after passing the exam can one achieve fame. Passing the test in Changfu is equivalent to getting an admission ticket for Beijing Ke.

The county examination belongs to the local imperial examination. If you pass the county examination, you will not have any fame, but you can be an official, but you are only allowed to be an official within the county.

Some people know that they can't pass the exam, so they go to the county test, or go to the county to try first, and then go to the imperial examination after passing the county test.

And this time the government examination gave fame, which is really unprecedented.

But think about it, it is also an unprecedented thing for a woman to become emperor, and it is nothing to compare carefully.

"Brother Yu understands, but whether you can pass the government test is a question, and you must be in the top 33, which is a bit difficult."

Xu Qingxiao nodded.

But for this government test, Xu Qingxiao didn't have much expectations.

When composing lyrics and poems, Xu Qingxiao can still copy them, but at worst, they can revise them.

write an essay.

Xu Qingxiao knew something.

Certainly not.

"Brother Xu's words are wrong. If you can come up with a term like Manjianghong, brother Xu's article is absolutely astonishing."

"To be honest, even if Brother Xu wins the top spot, I wouldn't be surprised."

Li Xin started making rainbow farts.

And Xu Qingxiao smiled, and said a few words modestly, the general content was that I can't do it, I can't do it, I think you are better.

Li Xin was terrified, saying all kinds of words, I can't do it, I can't do it, Brother Xu is still awesome.

After the two of them bragged about their business for a while, nothing else happened.

Li Xin was so eager to find Xu Qingxiao for this reason. Xu Qingxiao had been reading in the library before, and he didn't dare to disturb him. After all, his wife didn't bother him, so it seemed inappropriate to disturb him by himself.

Now that it's over, Li Xin doesn't intend to delay Xu Qingxiao.

The day after tomorrow is the government exam, and it is king to go back and prepare for the lesson.

The two bid farewell, and before leaving, Li Xin suddenly said that after the government examination, his father would host a banquet for the talents who participated in the government examination, and invited Xu Qingxiao to come over.

Xu Qingxiao was not stupid, knew what this meant, but agreed without hesitation.

Wait for the two to say goodbye.

Xu Qingxiao walked towards the residence.

The pace is not slow, and there is no random thinking.

The governor of Nanyu Mansion asked Cheng Lidong to investigate him secretly, thinking that he was being watched all the time.

It is even very possible that Li Xin's tip-off just now was seen by the other party.

But it doesn't matter, if you see it, you will see it, no matter what Cheng Lidong is, he is just a quasi-hundred householder, and he is still a small role in front of the Fujun.

It's just that after bidding farewell to Li Xin, Xu Qingxiao didn't want to appear preoccupied. If Cheng Lidong was really observing him secretly, this kind of behavior would only make Cheng Lidong more sure that he had practiced a different technique.

Cheng Lidong, Cheng Lidong.

This person must die.

Otherwise, I feel uneasy.

On the street, Xu Qingxiao was determined.

But at the next moment.

A familiar figure appeared not far away.

Yes……

Cheng Lidong.

Chapter 43: To become bigger and stronger, to create greater glories

Looking at the familiar figure ahead.

Xu Qingxiao only felt that the enemy's road was narrow.

Suddenly, Xu Qingxiao felt that this Cheng Lidong was his old enemy?

Counting, there have been three meetings, and each meeting is to ask for trouble.

For a moment, Xu Qingxiao was inexplicably emotional, and he still shouldn't be too pretentious.

Wu Yan pretended to be aggressive in front of him, but the result should be gone.

"Meet Xu Dacai."

Ahead, the appearance of Cheng Lidong did not scare Xu Qingxiao.

Today is not what it used to be. Fame has its disadvantages, but it also has its advantages. If it were a few days ago, Xu Qingxiao was indeed a little scared when he saw Cheng Lidong.

But it's different now.

Not to mention that the Fujun had ordered, so Cheng Lidong could only investigate in secret, even if the Fujun didn't give the order, Cheng Lidong didn't dare to touch himself.

After the banquet, who in Nanyu Mansion didn't know Xu Qingxiao?

If you really dare to touch yourself, if nothing else, the literati in the entire Nanyu Mansion will not let Cheng Lidong go.

"Your Majesty Cheng is too polite, I can't afford to be a great talent."

Xu Qingxiao looked calm, and smiled with folded hands.
