Chapter 53: Memories
The lord of the city, Xiang Liangjiao, ranks four, and the deputy lord, Wang Xi, ranks five.

This is the news gathered by the two parties.

Yang Shuyan couldn't help asking, "The city lord and deputy city lord are about the same age, and the deputy city lord is one level higher than the city lord. Can Wang Xi be inferior to others?"

Zhu Huanmeng also had this question. The rule in the world is "the strong are respected", which is obviously not in line with common sense.

Whether it's her, her senior brother, or Li Tingtong, Cang Renshou, they have all practiced in places far away from the secular world for a long time.

Because of her special status, when interacting with people, she is either a superior or a subordinate, or a peer. In addition, she is still young, and the people around her will always be more modest.

Sikong Feng and Dongfang Fengjun followed her.All that said, she didn't give much thought to human interaction.

Zhu and Yang grew up in a very pure sword school, focusing on practicing swords, and each mountain is independent. Usually, they are in contact with brothers and sisters who are familiar with each other. If there is a small friction, it will not cause too much trouble.

Li Tingtong's situation is more complicated, Zhu Youzong has more staff than Jianmen, but no matter how bad the situation is, he is an outer disciple, and he is not enough to do chores, such as going down the mountain to buy vegetables.

Most of his rules for the secular world come from the village where he lived when he was young.A commoner has no access to high-level nobles.

"The selection of officials is not only based on strength, but also on family background." Cang Renshou explained that she has read a lot of books and has covered a wide range of subjects.

The most important thing is that when she was about to leave, she specifically looked for books about the human world.

"I remember there was an imperial examination before?" Zhu Huanmeng asked again.

"The imperial examination has been abolished for some years." Li Tingtong knew about it. When she was young, the old people in the village always lamented that there would be no way out in the future, but gradually, no one in the village mentioned it.

Cang Life Insurance answered, "The aristocratic family spent money to buy an official position from the imperial court, but it is not high. After buying it, you need merit to be promoted."

This is also the reason why Wang Xi used this as an excuse, thinking that it would not make people suspicious. Suppressing the bandits is a great achievement, and the young master's official career will be smoother in the future.

"The poor family boy...?"

"Just like Wang Xi, becoming an aide and working for the family, she is doing well."

The reality made several people silent together.The century-old prosperity of the Holy Calendar Dynasty made the high-ranking people relax their vigilance, and the gap between the ranks paralyzed their nerves.

Cang Renshou bemoaned their stupidity.But their self-confidence does have a source.

Instinctively not liking this kind of arrogance, Cang Renshou frowned.

She thought of Ling Guang inexplicably, information about her parents was deliberately hidden, and the past was avoided.

Cang Renshou vaguely had an answer in his mind as to what caused the Lingguang royal family, which had absolute control, to be subverted.

"Let's talk about going back to Mingguang City." She was silent for a moment, then brought up the previous topic, "When the time comes..."

The hours-long meeting ended, and Cang Renshou went out to take a deep breath of fresh air.

The clouds sometimes stretch and sometimes curl up, the birds dance and sing on the branches, and a leaf falls slowly.

Looking at the green, Cang Life thought of a person at this moment.

What will she do now?

Yi Wen was returning to the capital with Sui Mingting at this time.

There is a reason why you want to go back.

A few days ago, because of Yi Wen's help, he was not eliminated by the formation, but came to the bamboo house in the center of the formation.

— found something.

"It looks like it belonged to the previous emperors." Sui Mingting flipped through it casually, and Yi Wen was outside, so he didn't feel bored talking to himself.

In the past, there were officials who were responsible for recording the daily life of senior executives and aristocrats. They practiced honesty to show the reality of what they wrote.

Of course, he can't lie, can't others lie?

However, if you are honest, your hands are sincere, and your heart is also sincere. If you are not sincere, you will not be a gentleman, and you will not recognize your own way. If you do not advance but retreat, you will not be able to meet the required cultivation base.

This also leads to a paradox.

As a result, the habit of remembering daily life is still there, but the person who writes it either becomes someone close to him or writes it himself.

Several thick piles were written by the emperor alone.

"Hmm... Lin Zhuliu, the name is a bit familiar." Sui Mingting continued to look down, and it turned out that the two grew up together since they were childhood sweethearts.

At this time, the handwriting was quite immature, and most of the records were trivial.

But later, the emperor began to struggle repeatedly.

Sui Mingting has a bad premonition, whether it is a hypocritical confession or a sincere job application, it is not important in the contemporary era.

What he did really made Sui Mingting disgusted. He thought that what he had encountered was already the greatest evil in the world, but he didn't realize it...

Frowning tightly, he quickly flipped to the end, Lin Zhuliu intended to defect, but failed! ?
He confirmed again and again that there was no mistake, Lin Zhuliu had indeed defected, and after she failed, her faction, everyone, spent all their wealth to buy their own lives.

The emperor thought of his old love in the past and allowed his lineage to survive, but he was driven out of the capital and never returned.

The last line settled in the Mingguang City area, and the emperor didn't say anything about the follow-up news.

The point is, what is shocking is, why did Lin Zhuliu defect?
The emperor attached great importance to him, and regarded him as his right-hand man, and Lin Zhuliu had a hand in all matters of privacy and profiteering.

Such extreme trust is rare.

Besides, Lin Zhuliu can still be an official when he marries the emperor. Apart from his higher status, there will be no adverse effects.

Even in ancient times, there was a woman who was both a minister and a concubine. She went out to fight and won a big victory. It was a good story at that time.

Of course, this situation is only for the emperor. Ordinary people, if they are concubines or male concubines, they are the property of their husbands and wives, and they are lowly in the eyes of outsiders.

I can't figure out why, the emperor's records also stopped at the last remaining line of the Lin family, and there will be nothing in the future.

It is not known whether something happened or was hit.

Sui Mingting turned back to the front and wrote down the time and place of several major events.

"The long embankment collapse incident..." His eyes locked on these five words.

A few people who were dressed similarly but couldn't tell where they came from walked into Cang Life's mountain known as the "Holy Mountain" in the cloudless sleeve inheritance.

They seemed to have known the layout of the mountain a long time ago, and walked towards the mountainside very skillfully.

"The field is wild, the medicine..." The leader silently compared the information given by the eldest lady, and after confirming, he nodded to the people behind him, "This is it."

This place is not as prosperous as it was back then, and it can even be called a sparsely populated place.

The reason for the change was that the imperial court inexplicably issued an imperial edict, the temple was smashed, and the monks were driven out.

The people are gone, and the grass is not affected, but more lush. Their unscrupulous appearance really makes this group of people like it more and more.

One of them couldn't help but said, "Miss is really right, this land is really a treasure!"
