Qiu Wuhen recognized that this was Linghu Zhi's father, and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and salute: "I have met Mr. Linghu!"

Linghu Ding laughed: "We are both scholars, there is no need to be so polite. I am here to give you money. This is three hundred copper coins. Ke Lianke, the county government chief, asked me to give it to him.

Yours, thank you for your good idea. This solved the case of the scribe being murdered, which saved his butt. Otherwise, if the case had not been solved, his butt would have been bruised. This is a saving grace.

I sent you the money for the medicine to thank you. The last time he was spanked by the magistrate, he couldn't get out of bed or walk on the mountain road, so he couldn't come. If he has a chance tomorrow, he said he would thank you in person."

Qiu Wuhen smiled. It turns out that the catcher is so cute, not bad, not bad, and worth paying for. Now what he needs most is money. With these three hundred coins, he can pay off Tie Yaozi's debt, otherwise it will be hard work.

If you can pay back the money you earn from selling medicinal herbs, you shouldn’t delay it.

I thanked him immediately, took it, and placed it heavily on the table.

Linghu Ding added: "By the way, without your consent, I recommended you to the magistrate to replace the dead prison clerk. The magistrate agreed when the time came. It depends on what you want and whether you are willing.

Go to the county government and work as a clerk in the execution room?"

"Great, of course I am willing. Thank you Mr. Linghu for your recommendation!"

"Haha, it's easy to say, you solved this murder case, and you are a scholar, you can't be buried in the countryside. We don't have many scholars in Yunduan County. You used to be in the capital, but now you marry the Su family, and the Su family has moved back to our Yunduan County

County, of course you are also from our county, so you are the only one who needs this job. The county magistrate also had this idea after hearing about it, and it is estimated that he will handle this matter in a few days. Just wait patiently."

Qiu Wuhen gratefully raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much. If you can work as a clerk in the county government and have a stable income, life will be much better. Thank you very much."

"Not only can you have a stable income, but you can also become an official after you finish it."

"Really? Can civil servants be promoted to officials?"

Qiu Wuhen lacked understanding of the ancient official system, so he was overjoyed to hear this.

"Yes, an official can become an official by taking two external examinations and one Beijing examination. Moreover, there is no limit on the passing rate of these three examinations, and the difficulty is much lower than the imperial examination."

"That's great, there is such a cheap thing?" Qiu Wuhen rolled his eyes, feeling that this matter was a bit unreliable, and asked, "Since it is easier to become an official through the official than the imperial examination, why do you do so much?

Do scholars still need to take the imperial examination?"

“Because officials must have served for nine years before taking the exam to be promoted to officials, and there are very few official positions available for promotion. Only positions that are vacant and officials are reluctant to take will be filled by officials. In addition,

From an official to an official, there are also level restrictions. The highest level is a seventh-grade official. No matter how high your ability is, you cannot be promoted. This is a restriction for an official to enter an official, which makes many scholars not very interested in this.

.”

It turns out that it is like this. It seems that being an official in ancient times was really difficult. Fortunately, I have no interest in being an official. The ancient officialdom is not something that a modern person like me can handle. Living a peaceful life is still interesting.

However, the Su family is obsessed with becoming a general, a prime minister, and a high-ranking official, so it is not that easy.

Linghu Ding said: "Well, you are busy, I have to go to Master Fei to teach. His grandson Fei Wutong is ignorant and has no skills. He will be naughty and mischievous all day long. Alas, I have a headache."

With that said, he cupped his hands and turned around to go out.

Qiu Wuhen was very happy. Looking at the large bunch of copper coins in the cow water tank on the side, his eyes lit up and he said: "Master is really amazing. He has made so much money. Solving crimes is more profitable than seeing a doctor. You can teach me tomorrow."

Is the case solved?"

"You can't bite off more than you can chew. If you can learn medical skills, practice calligraphy well, and read well, that will be enough for you to keep busy."

Qiu Wuhen took the bunch of money and turned around to the inner courtyard.

Su Jinsong was talking to a woman from a family. When he heard what happened, they were both surprised and happy, and started chattering among themselves.

Grandmother Su smiled and nodded, and happily said to Qiu Wuhen: "It would be great to be able to work as a scribe in a yamen. It is not impossible to be promoted from a scribe to an official. There is an additional way to become an official. From this

By the way, we may be able to get out of the general residence and enter the prime minister's official residence."

All the girls of the Su family nodded excitedly.

Qiu Wuhen sighed in his heart. It seemed that the women of the Su family did not understand the various limitations of joining the officialdom. They did not know that the highest level of officialdom could only be the seventh rank, and it was impossible to become a first-rank official.

.

It's no wonder that the Su family used to be just a family of merchants and didn't understand the officialdom at all. They just listened to a fortune teller's nonsense and believed it to be true, and were fascinated by the whole thing.

He didn't bother to break their illusions, or ideals. It was better to have ideals than not to have them at all.

Su Jinsong said to Qiu Wuhen: "Ms. sir, it turns out you can solve cases? Why didn't I know?"

"There are a lot of husband-in-laws," Qiu Wuhen said proudly, looking like a fart, "You will find out in the future that your husband-in-law is not in vain."

"That's right!" the girls giggled.

Su Jinsong took 70 copper coins from the large bunch of copper coins and kept them. Qiu Wuhen asked Qiu Wuhen to take the remaining 230 copper coins and return them to Tie Yaozi.

Qiu Wuhen took the money to Tie Yaozi's house. When Tie Yaozi saw the money, he was so excited that he couldn't speak. He kept expressing his gratitude, and quickly took out the IOU and returned it to Qiu Wuhen, and repeatedly said that he would wait until he dug up the herbs.

, and also sold it to his drugstore.

Qiu Wuhen said goodbye and returned to the drug store. There was no one at the drug store to see the doctor, so he went into the inner house and told Su Jinsong and others that he had paid back the money.

At this time, Grandma Su and the others were discussing what the whole family would do if Qiu Wuhen really got the position of scribe in the yamen. The result of the discussion was that the whole family moved to the county town to rent a house. Qiu Wuhen came in and they all came together.

discuss.

While he was talking, the cow water tank ran in and said: "Master, there are several people here, and one of them is the man from Sifang Village who came last time, the one who was revived by you after he died.

What, Mr. Xianggong saved all the dead people?

Previously, Liu Defu came to give rice to express his gratitude without saying the reason, so the Su family didn't know. But now that Niu Shui Vat had revealed it, everyone in the room was stunned when they heard it. No one even forgot to say anything.

Grandmother Su was the first to react: "Oh, Mr. Xianggong, are you really capable of fighting for your life with the Lord of Hell?"

The girls nodded together, all asking the same question, and looked at Qiu Wuhen with awe.

"That's right, it's nothing."

Qiu Wuhen didn't intend to be polite, because it was a fact. If he hadn't been there that day, Liu Defu would have stopped heartbeating and breathing, and he would have been considered a dead man. Therefore, reviving a dead man by yourself is right, as the so-called hero does.

Be a good man.

Su Jinsong glanced at everyone with pride, his eyes clearly saying that this is what my husband is capable of, and then he gently pushed Qiu Wuhen: "Hurry up and go, they are waiting."

Qiu Wuhen quickly came to the front yard.

As soon as they left, the women in the inner house began to chatter and talk enthusiastically: "My husband is so powerful, he can save the dead!"

"Zhang Banxian has already said that he is the prime minister of wealth and wealth. Even though he is now in a state of desolation, how can the golden scales be just like a thing in a pond, and turn into a dragon when encountering wind and rain?"
