Zhang Dun's anger was because Lin Xi's special identity.

Lin Xi, a passerby from Fujian, was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou.

Those who know this information have already realized that it is already sensible. Lin Xi and Zhang Dun are a fellow villager or a Jinshi in the same subject. Although Zhang Dun was so embarrassed that he was not in the top scorer because his nephew passed the top scorer, he failed to take the imperial examination again. Of course, he also passed the examination. But people who are familiar with Zhang Dun know that Zhang Dun likes to regard himself as a Jinshi in Jiayou for the second year.

The main reason is that Jiayou was in the fourth year of Jihai, and his talents were withered, which made him feel a little embarrassed to see others.

Even so, Zhang Dun did not win the top scorer in this fourth year of Jiayou. It was like in the Imperial Academy that Shangshen did not pass the lead when he took the monthly exam. He went to Zhongshen in anger and found where to find a sense of existence, and was slapped in the face.

The first one is not him!

In fact, his ranking did not rise, he was still ranked fifth in the palace examination, exactly the same as Jiayou's second year ranking.

At that time, Zhang Dun did not feel humiliated, and he was still very happy to participate in the selection of officials and enter the official career.

The system of the subject and subject examinations that really hit Zhang Dun a big blow were exams for the Jinshi. Of course, civil servants with other identities could also participate, but civil servants who did not have the courage to take the highest standard subject examinations in the Song Dynasty. Because the system examinations are not just examinations, but also an entry threshold. Before taking the examination, you need to submit the Hanlin Bachelor of the Two Systems, namely the internal and external systems, the Master of the Edicts, and the Zhongshu Sheren, to present their usual strategies, and each of them was 25 articles.

If someone asks him for a civil servant like Lao Zong and Zhong Jianzhong, if he wants 50 strategies for public discussions about ancient and modern times, the old man might draw his sword to kill people in anger.

I haven't seen anyone bullying like this, and I will be unreasonable?

This is just an entrance ticket to take the subject-based examination.

That is, after passing the approval of a senior official from the Hanlin Academy and the Secretariat, he obtained an admission ticket to participate in the department system.

The formal exam is far more difficult than imagined. Six policy reviews in a day, each of which is at least 3,000 words, not three hundred, but three thousand words.

This is enough to make many Jinshi despair when they see the topic.

This is not finished yet. The exam questions are divided into light and dark, and are extracted from classics such as Nine Classics, Seventeen Histories, "Mandarin", "Xunzi", "Yangzi", "Guanzi", etc. There are even military tactics such as "Wei Liaozi", "Sunzi Art of War" and so on.

Such exams are not well-read, and they can't even understand the questions.

As a result, in the sixth year of Jiayou's subject system examination, the emperor successfully admitted nine people, seven of which were Jinshi in the Dingyou category in the second year of Jiayou. As for the Jihai category in the fourth year of Jiayou, Zhang Dun later participated in the fourth year of Jiayou, the entire army was wiped out. The top scholar Liu Hui didn't even have the chance to participate in the third game of the emperor's assessment, so he was defeated. This made Zhang Dun start to reflect. Will it be embarrassing to be involved in the Jinshi circle in the fourth year of Jiayou?

The answer is yes.

The Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou, Su Shi, Su Ce, Zeng Gong, Zeng Bu, Zhang Zai and Cheng Yi, were gradually appearing in the core circle of the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

And Jiayou for four years...

This feeling made Zhang Dun very hurt back then, as if he was in the academy and had poor grades. He finally found a group of children who were preparing to bully people, but the people did not bully them, and his confidence not only did not recover, but was humiliated.

This is Zhang Dun who is so arrogant and arrogant, and he has to swollen his face and say with a shameless face that he is a Jinshi in Jiayou for the second year.

Lin Xi was his fellow disciple. In terms of master-disciple title, Ouyang Xiu presided over the second year of Jiayou's Jinshi exam. He was the chief examiner, and they were all considered Ouyang Xiu's disciples.

There are three major lives in the circle of civil officials in the Song Dynasty: fellow townsmen, fellow party members, and fellow disciples.

Are Zhang Dun and Lin Xi a fellow villager and a fellow disciple or a fellow party member?

Logically speaking, there is no stronger friendship in the world than them. Using Zhang Dun's ideas, the friendship between him and Lin Xi is unbreakable. There is no deeper friendship in the world than them.

Of course, the Liangshan bandits expressed dissatisfaction. There was a deeper and greater friendship in the world, so why did you say there was no?

Let's hold it together to keep warm, and ask if you dare...

The person who is the least likely person to betray in Zhang Dun's mind is Lin Xi. But Lin Xi has vague signs of rebellion. How can he not be shocked or angry?

But what surprised him was that when he roared, Li Kui covered up his anger with a louder voice than him. Then Li Kui rushed to Zhang Shangying, grabbed Zhang Shangying's clothes, pulled the person down from the ground, and roared: "Impossible!"

Zhang Shangying was almost crying again. Everything he said was the truth, so why didn’t anyone believe it?

"Li Kui, you can humiliate me, but you must not use such despicable means to frame me!"

After Zhang Shangying said it, he said it was very bachelor. Every word he said and every name he betrayed was true.

But Li Kui didn't believe it, and he cursed angrily: "These stupid people who have not given birth to sons, they have no grudges in the past, so why do they frame me?"

This is not a frame-up, but a dislike of you.

Zhang Shangying did not dare to complain, so he had to tell the news that he knew: "Zhao Tingzhi is Xing Shu's brother-in-law."

This reason why Li Kui just made Zhao Tingzhi lose his official position is reasonable.

It’s fine to Xing Shu, he was a villain. But what about Lin Xi and Jiang Xu? Li Kui refused to give in and said: “Xing Shu, forget it, then what about Lin Xi, the Minister of Rites, and Jiang Xu, the Minister of Dali Temple? Why can’t they get along with me?”

"I know something about Jiang Xu. His family went to Yan'an Prefecture to run a kerosene business and invested huge amounts of money to dig oil wells, but was cheated of tens of thousands of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of chunks of

Li Kui was shocked. He also wanted to bear the blame for the kerosene chamber of commerce?

Of course, Li Kui just refuted it, and probably couldn't tell it. After all, he made money and made a lot of money.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Dun, his eyes were quite innocent, which made Zhang Dun feel a little unbearable, as if he had committed a great crime if he didn't justify Li Kui.

Zhang Shangying was waiting for his death.

His situation is not good now, as if life and death are all in Zhang Dun's thoughts.

After a long time, Zhang Dun finally made a decision: "Go and call Xing Shu, Jiang Xu and Lin Xi to me!"

The closest to the Dushi Hall should be the yamen of Dali Temple. After Jiang Xu entered the Dushi Hall, he saw Zhang Shangying hiding in the corner like a dead dog.

snort--

He snorted coldly and was about to leave, but found that it seemed like a flesh wall blocking his way. When he looked up and saw a black face, revealing his pale teeth, Jiang Xu thought so at that time. Li Kui's teeth were very white, but the same whiteness would never have been a scammer without his black face.

Hum--

Sneer, disdain.

I read from my eyes that after all, I was a senior official of the third rank, and Jiang Xu was still well-educated. He walked to Zhang Dun and bowed and said, "Zhang Xiang."

snort--

Zhang Dun was not in a good mood at this moment, so he would definitely not have a good face for Jiang Xu to show him. After making a fuss, Jiang Xu didn't dare to have an attack and could only find a place to sit down.

Unlucky, he came too early. Li Kui's eyes were as big as a cow's egg, staring at him tightly, making him feel more and more uncomfortable. This discomfort directly led to his guilt.

Before, he didn't feel this way. It was not his own idea to suppress Li Kui and even expel Li Kui. The sky fell, and there were tall people holding on. The minister of justice, Xing Shu, the Minister of Justice, and Lin Xi, the Minister of Rites, were all older than him, and their relationship with Zhang Dun was closer than him. Jiang Xu thought about enduring it again and then passed.

But after waiting around, neither Xing Shu nor Lin Xi were present.

After all, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Rites are both outside the imperial city, so it will take time to send people to call people.

In particular, the officials in charge of the Song Dynasty often skipped work. If they could not find anyone in the yamen, they would have to go to the restaurants in the capital to find someone.

The more I thought about it, the more I became, the more I was afraid that Li Kui would deal with him like he did to deal with Zhang Shangying. His body would not be able to withstand the torture. If he was beaten like Zhang Shangying, he might be ill.

But the revenge had been buried, and Jiang Xu had no way out, so he could only hope that the two accomplices would come soon.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Xu did not wait for an accomplice, but someone passed the message that the manager of the Li family had arrived.

Li Kui made a desperate driving style, passed by Jiang Xu in his clothes, and left the capital hall. Suo Feng and his people were waiting, and hurriedly greeted, "Here, here."

"See the boss!"

"Owner!"

Qiu Mingren is the chief shopkeeper of Huitong Money House. He bowed and shouted to Li Kui: "Master!"

I won’t say anything anymore, Huitong Money House belongs to Li Kui.

Li Kui looked at Suo Feng angrily and said to himself: You are not poor either, so what?

But when Souo couldn't resist facing a super-business with millions of yuan in capital and tens of millions of yuan, his wife's dowry was not worth mentioning at all.

"Have you brought the stuff?"

"After Xiao Wu came, he sent someone to find him. However, he only found the loan from the Jiang family's business, with a total of 30,000 guan." Qiu Mingren handed the loan to Li Kui with both hands.

For this reason, Qiu Mingren said a little regretfully: "The Lin family's business is on Fujian Road. If you can wait in the east, you may be able to wait for news in five days."

"It's too slow, no need." After reading the certificate, Li Kui said, "You go back first. Xuan Huai has done a good job. I'm going to let him take over your shift."

Qiu Mingren was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "Zhe Dongzhu cultivated it."

Qiu Mingren is not young anymore, and a giant like Huitong Money Bank needs energy beyond ordinary people to maintain operation. He had enough energy in the past two years, but in the past two years he felt increasingly unable to do so.

With Li Kui's promise, the wealth of his Qiu family can last for at least two generations.

For Qiu Mingren, it is no less than the best news in the world.

"Owner? Renjie, are you the owner of Huitong Money House?"

Suo Fenghou hurriedly surrounded Li Kui. He now has a bad reputation in the officialdom, mainly because he married a rich woman from Qingtang. He suddenly jumped from an ordinary official to a wealthy man in the capital. To put it bluntly, he was envious, jealous and hatred.

But no matter how rich he has, the money belongs to his wife. Even if it is his, can it be compared with a behemoth like Huitong Money House?

"Renjie, you have to give me a way to make money. My family can't live in vain!"

Suo Feng stared at Li Kui and refused to let go.

Li Kui could only casually say: "One day, I'll talk to you about making money another day."

"Brother, I will remember you. I will invite you to your house tomorrow. We will not be drunk. Your sister-in-law doesn't do anything else. Training maids is definitely a great idea. Come to your brother's house and take anyone you like. Brother, you don't know the methods of Tubo women...hehehe..."

Can Li Kui be interested in Tubo women?

It’s not that he dislikes the region, but his skin was a little dark, and there were very few Tubo women. It was black and black. Isn’t this child born to be a Kunlun slave?

He would never agree to this point.

But at this time he had something more important: "Brother, I'm going to take revenge first."
To be continued...
