Chapter 35
Zhu Ye is also a smart person and has great vision.
When he saw that Yang did not even listen to his explanation and directly ordered someone to take him down, he knew that he was in trouble. It was useless to call for mercy by begging heaven and earth, and it would only make people more annoying.
He looked dead and was so scared that he collapsed on the ground in despair that he was dragged away by the officer.
Seeing this, Li Gongfu's anger dissipated. After Zhu Ye, even if he was immortal, he would definitely not be able to maintain his position as a lord, and he received the punishment he deserved.
Xu Xian was thinking more in his heart.
As a bystander, he could see clearly what happened today. There must be no hatred between his brother-in-law Li Gongfu and Zhu Ye. What Zhu Ye did today must have been instructed by others!
Who is this messenger standing behind?
Zhu Ye was so scared that he was out of his mind, but at this time he still did not shout "unfairly" and did not defend himself to give the messenger behind him, indicating that this person's identity must be not simple.
Xu Xian quickly recalled the people and things he met in Hangzhou City during this period and quickly locked in the target.
"Chu Banshan!"
This name appeared in Xu Xian's mind.
This young man who guards Chu Yintai in Hangzhou Prefecture is the most suspicious. With his identity, he can indeed instruct Zhu Ye to help him do things, but Zhu Ye dare not betray him easily.
"I warned him last time not to mess with me again, otherwise I would not let it go easily. Unexpectedly, he still did not give up and dared to frame the people around me!" Xu Xian's eyes were cold, and he already had murderous aura in his heart.
A villain is like an evil ghost, and this sentence is truly true.
For them, there is no principle in doing things, and if you want to frame someone, you will do whatever you want. Chu Banshan frames people around Xu Xian, which makes him more angry than framed Xu Xian.
"With Chu Banshan's character, this conspiracy failed, I guess he would not give up. But now he learned that I had the support of Xu Xuezheng, and that the prefect Yang was completely on my side. It was impossible for him to use the official power to deal with me. This son was not upright and he also recruited two Taoist priests under his command. Maybe he would pretend to be a ghost. If so, I will kill him!"
Xu Xian thought in his mind.
Today, Yang Jianxing and Xu Zhengqing were already very proud of him and were helping him with all their heart and strength, but I am afraid that he could only do this. Zhu Ye did not dare to betray Chu Banshan and bit his mouth and refused to let go. Even as the prefect Yang Jianxing could not do anything.
After all, Chu Banshan is the son of the garrison, so he has to worry a lot if Yang Jianxing wants to move.
But if Chu Banshan pretended to be a god and let the capable and strangers around him deal with Xu Xian, Xu Xian would definitely take his life!
As the matter was learned, Xu Zhengqing and Yang Jianxing did not stay in the inn for too long. After drinking a cup of tea, Xu Zhengqing handed over the invitation to the "Lu Ming Banquet" to Xu Xian, and the two left.
The name of Lu Mingyan is taken from a sentence in the "Lu Ming" chapter in the Book of Songs, "Yoyou Lu Ming, Eats the Wild Apple".
This banquet was stipulated in the Dali Dynasty's imperial examination system. It was not held by Xu Zhengqing or Hangzhou Prefecture, but popularized all prefectures and counties in the Dali Dynasty.
The banquet was the day after the government examination and the hospital examination was released.
After the Lu Ming Banquet, only Tong Sheng, who was on the top ten, could participate. He Liang won Tong Sheng by chance this time, but the ranking was 28th, so he did not find any invitations.
However, this fat man has always been very heartbroken. He never thought that he could attend the Luming Banquet, and he was not discouraged. Instead, he happily packed up his things and prepared to return to Qiantang County.
He can't wait to tell his family about his admission to Tongsheng, and at the same time he wants to go to the Red Building to find Ruiyun immediately.
He hadn't met for nearly half a month, and before the mansion examination, he could force himself to calm down and concentrate on his studies. Now that the dust has settled, he immediately returned home and did not want to stay in Hangzhou for a moment.
Li Gongfu is also going back to Qiantang County.
He has finished his tolerance and has done his own private affairs.
As the head of Qiantang County, he was in a public office and could not leave his post at will. This time he came to Hangzhou Prefecture, and he asked the magistrate for leave in advance. Now, when the time comes, he must return to the yamen to report.
After packing his luggage, Li Gongfu hesitated again and said, "Hanwen, why don't I stay in Hangzhou City for a few days, right? I promised your sister that I should take good care of you. I am really worried about leaving you alone in Hangzhou Prefecture."
Li Gongfu originally had enough budget time. After Xu Xian finished the exam, he could follow Li Gongfu back after the exam.
But he didn't know that Xu Xian had made a big splash, and he actually won the position of the head of the mansion's case test. Now that the results are released, he will still have to attend the Lu Ming Banquet and the many subsequent responses. He will not be able to leave in less than three or five days.
Xu Xian smiled and comforted, "No need, brother-in-law, go back and tell my sister, let her rest assured, I will never have anything to do! I am already an adult now and am not a delicate little girl, so there will be no accidents. Today, you can't stand alone when you look at my performance?"
When Li Gongfu thought about it, he also felt it made sense.
After getting along these days, Xu Xian's changes have really made Li Gongfu look at him with admiration. It is completely different from the innocent boy who had no power and no skills in his previous impression.
Especially when facing Zhu Ye today, he was a little panicked, but Xu Xian was not afraid of danger, which really made Li Gongfu secretly admire him.
Moreover, Xu Xian is the head of the court trial now, and even the Minister of Education and the Prefectural Office protect him in every way. Who dares to treat Xu Xian in Hangzhou?
Whether he stays or not is meaningless.
"Okay, I'll go back first. You should be careful and careful." Li Gongfu nodded and reminded: "After the matter is over, you should come back quickly, don't wander around, especially don't leave the city alone! Hangzhou City has not been peaceful recently. I heard that there are monsters, and many people have died of misfortune. The officers and soldiers organized a team to investigate for a long time, but no results were found."
Xu Xian nodded: "Well, I've recorded it. Brother-in-law, you should say hello to my sister on your behalf when you go back."
Li Gongfu suddenly laughed and said happily: "If your sister knew that you had won Tong Sheng and was the first in the case, she would probably be so excited that she couldn't sleep. Her biggest wish in her life has come true now."
Xu Xian laughed too.
He decided to take the imperial examination, and most of his willingness was to make his sister Xu Jiaorong happy and not to disappoint her.
Xu Xian won the head of the mansion to test the case, Xu Jiaorong would definitely be the happiest person in the world.
On that day, Li Gongfu and He Liang left, leaving Xu Xian alone.

...
Hangzhou City South Guo.
Not far from the city gate.
A group of old men and beggars in tattered clothes were queuing up to receive porridge and steamed buns. The one who distributed food to them was Xin Shisi Niang in red.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
"Good people will be rewarded! Fourteenth Lady, you are such a living Bodhisattva!"
Every person who receives food will sincerely express his gratitude, and whenever Xin Shisi Niang sees a hungry person filling her stomach, she will feel more joy in her heart.
She is devoted to the Tao and likes to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. She believes that if she persists like this, she will be ranked in the immortal class sooner or later.
...
...
Outside the city gate, a short Taoist priest with a goatee, holding a whisk in his hand, but a wine gourd hanging around his waist passed the city gate.
