Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Bai Erzhuang followed He Shun to Ah Zhen's room.

After passing through the winding corridors and entering the room, my uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

"Second brother, sit down." Ah Zhen stood up and pointed to the chair in front of her.

Bai Erzhuang sat down and instructed Ah Zhen with a calm face.

"Serve the second brother tea." Ah Zhen said.

Soon, some servants served tea and went back quietly.

He Shun closed the door, leaving only Ah Zhen in the room.

"Second brother, do you know Wan Chunhua?" Ah Zhen asked directly.

Wan Chunhua, the newly appointed magistrate of Yangfeng County, slandered Bai Sanzhuang for treason, and finally committed suicide in prison.

"Yes, he and I took the government and imperial examinations at the same time, but I failed." Bai Erzhuang said calmly.

"Second brother, tell me about the past." Ah Zhen said with a sigh.

"... That spring, I went to Huaicheng to take the government examination."

Bai Erzhuang was not pretentious, he spoke calmly and seriously.

Back then, Emperor Zuo was in a daze and the prince supervised the country. The father and son were suspicious of each other.

Bai Erzhuang therefore inspired the ideal of saving the country and the people.

At that time, he and a group of students went to participate in the government examination. Young people are always in high spirits when they are together, talking about the future and government affairs together.

In addition, Bai Erzhuang is the youngest and has not yet won the championship. Everyone said that he has a bright future. Compared with other seniors, his future seems to be even brighter.

One day, his brother An Huairen brought a young man to join the discussion.

This young man is called Mei Xiao. He looks extravagant in his attire, but he is very approachable when he talks to everyone. From the conversation, he knows that he is from the capital and is studying at his ancestor's house outside Huaicheng.

After getting acquainted with each other, they refer to each other as confidants, and even become sworn brothers of the opposite sex.

Young people always have endless topics to talk about when they are together. They climb mountains and recite poems to fight against each other, and hold candles to chat about the current problems of the dynasty. The new Mei Xiao can always put forward unexpected opinions.

After the government examination, An Huairen won the first place, Wan Chunhua won No.2, and Mei Xiao won No.3.

But Bai Erzhuang was not going up or down, and he was happy to get the mid-range ranking. After all, it finally gave the Bai family a crucial step in transforming from a farming family to a farming-study heirloom, as the old lady Bai expected.

Most importantly, he is young and has a lot of time to benefit.

After the announcement, Bai Erzhuang, An Huairen, Wan Chunhua and others drank and celebrated together, imagining the beautiful vision of going to Beijing to catch the exam in the future.

Mei Xiao is also here.

Everyone chatted openly, and it was at this time that everyone knew that Mei Xiao was Xia Zhongqi, the grandson of the emperor, and he turned into a commoner Mei Xiao to take the exam.

Everyone was astonished and terrified that they had become brothers of the opposite sex with the emperor's grandson.

The emperor's grandson dispelled everyone's fear, and he confided to everyone that the reason why he went deep into the folks to get acquainted with scholars was to set things right and revive the court together with these talents in the future.

At that time, the suspicion between the prince and Emperor Zuo became more and more serious, and the situation of the emperor's grandson was also very difficult.

These young people were greatly shocked by the emperor's grandson's going deep into the people to recruit talents, and vowed to follow the emperor's grandson.

Especially An Huairen and Wan Chunhua were the most active.

Bai Erzhuang hesitated, because he felt that this matter was not trivial, and it was not enough to be enthusiastic, so he did not swear together.

The emperor's grandson felt that he was too young to add nouns, so he didn't care much about him.

Something made him realize that the emperor's grandson was just an enlightened love of the people in disguise.

When everyone went back to the inn after drinking, he left something behind and went back to pick it up.

At the door, I heard the emperor's grandson scolding these students with a sneer from his entourage. They are only worth a rag, and they will be discarded immediately after he completes his great career.Moreover, Bai Erzhuang also spied on the emperor's grandson's secrets. He not only recruited students from Huaicheng, he used this method to recruit aspiring students from many places in the world, and cultivated them into subordinates who would follow him to the death and were willing to sacrifice for him.

The emperor's grandson who understands righteousness, the emperor's grandson who even suffers from the people's suffering, and the emperor's grandson who puts order out of chaos are nothing but people who plot against people's hearts.

Bai Erzhuang was so frightened that he woke up from the wine, sweating profusely, and hurried back to Shenshu Village overnight.

It was precisely because of this incident that he came to the entrance of the village in a trance, followed You Jingui's way, and lost his marriage with his childhood sweetheart.

"...Second brother, did you fail the imperial examination twice on purpose?" Ah Zhen asked quietly.

Bai Erzhuang raised his eyes, smiled wryly at Ah Zhen and said, "That's right."

Everyone thought that he failed the ranking twice in a row because he had lost his engagement with Xia Qinghe and had no intention of taking the imperial examination.

Of course, there are reasons for this, but the more important reason is that he doesn't want to get involved with the emperor's grandson. In addition, his house's test results are not so impressive, and the emperor's grandson did not force him to join the emperor's grandson group.

After failing the imperial examination for the first time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he took the exam twice was because he couldn't hold back Mrs. Bai's persistence.

These two imperial examinations cost all the family assets of the Bai family. Deliberate failure made him feel very guilty for his family, but compared to the greater disaster in the future, he would rather fail.

"When did An Huairen go crazy?" Ah Zhen asked.

Bai Erzhuang thought for a while and said: "Probably in the first year of Jingyuan, he took the first place in the imperial examination high school, and suddenly went crazy when the ranking was revealed."

After An Huairen went mad and returned to Xiashan Village, everyone thought that he had gone mad because of a sudden attack.

Only Bai Erzhuang knew that things were not that simple, he always thought that An Huairen had seen through the emperor's grandson's schemes, and was so disappointed that he went crazy.

Therefore, with sympathy for An Huairen, he visited him from time to time and took care of him.

I didn't expect him to carry a deeper mission.

"You and my sister were abducted, and it was An Huairen who was behind the scenes. I just realized that he didn't go crazy back then because he saw through the emperor's grandson, but pretended to be crazy and sneaked back to Nanguan Mountain to work for the emperor's grandson. The mines in the mountain , those weapons...so the kidnapper is just a cover..."

Bai Erzhuang didn't go on, he believed that with Ah Zhen's intelligence, he didn't need to explain it thoroughly.

In the first year of Jingyuan, Ah Zhen's grandfather, the second prince who was still disliked by Emperor Zuo, brought his wife and children into the capital from the border, and Emperor Zuo abdicated. in the palace.

As for the grandson of the emperor, Xia Zhongqi, Ah Zhen's grandfather read to his uncle and nephew, and his image was honest and honest, so he did not belong to the party of deposed princes, but instead named him King Kang to show the benevolence of the former emperor.

A kidnapper is not necessarily a cover.

Ah Zhen remembered that their purpose of abducting the child was to make muscle blood pills by knocking out bones and sucking marrow. Who was this muscle blood pill for?
Who is Kang Wang?
"Then Wan Chunhua is the first rank of first-class scholar after the first emperor ascended the throne. He has been going around in the county magistrate for so many years. I guess he is deliberately hiding himself. He has been acting for the emperor's grandson... no, for Kang Wang Work." Bai Erzhuang said.

Ah Zhen nodded, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that when King Kang was the grandson of the emperor, he won many scholars from all over the world, so many people are willing to be driven by him."

Bai Erzhuang remained silent.

Isn't it true that Wan Chunhua would rather commit suicide than save King Kang.

And how many Wan Chunhuas are there in the court now?
No one knows.

"This is all I know, and it is also a secret that has been buried in my heart for many years." Bai Erzhuang said.

After finishing speaking, I felt relieved for a while.
