Chapter 46
"Jiaqi's weather forecast for February 11, [-], the whole area of ​​Chengdu Prefecture will experience light to moderate rain in the next three hours."

"Short-term heavy rainfall, gusts of wind, etc. may occur in some areas. Residents are requested to pay attention to the possible adverse effects of disastrous weather."

On the large outdoor screen hanging in the commercial plaza, the hostess Yan Yanyan was wearing a blue double-breasted narrow-sleeved gown with a plain horse-face skirt, giving her an elegant and generous demeanor.

Teams of Tianfu guards with live ammunition on the street patrolled back and forth, with solemn and solemn expressions, not caring that the clothes on their bodies were already wet by the falling rain.

Suddenly, there was a "wow" sound from above the sky, and the sudden intensification of heavy rain poured down from the clouds.

Pedestrians stretched out rain gear with gorgeous light strips to cover their heads, and the passing traffic also turned on their headlights, and all kinds of dazzling lights burst out on the street for a while.

At this moment, if someone looked down from the patrol airship hanging in the sky, they would see a bright river of light flowing slowly on the ground.

The only abrupt point is that a black 'reef' appeared in this river of light.

Moreover, when the river flows past it, it will always stop suddenly, and then quickly separate towards the left and right.

Standing under a black umbrella with no decoration, Li Jun looked at the disgusted pedestrians walking around quickly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Is my attire so unlucky?"

"This is Qingyang District, the core area of ​​Chengdu Mansion, and it's not a slum like the Ji'e District. Of course, you're covered in holes and bloodstains, which is unlucky."

A lazy voice drifted over from the rain and sounded beside Li Jun.

Li Jun's hand holding the umbrella handle suddenly tightened, his eyes stared straight ahead, and he walked forward slowly with the flow of people.

"Master Zongqi, isn't it too hasty to meet in such a large place?"

Yu Kou's huge body stood just an arm's length away from Li Jun's side, and the umbrella above his head was so huge that it might be more appropriate to call it a 'garden umbrella'.

"Small hermits hide in the wild, middle ones hide in the city, the most dangerous places are the safest."

Yu Kou smiled calmly, and flicked an engraved talisman hanging on the side of the umbrella, "And now in the eyes of passers-by, there is nothing beside you."

Li Jun said cautiously: "Ordinary people can't see it, but people from Shudao Logistics Group may not."

"Don't worry, do you think the people Gu Yong sent to watch you can see through my Taoism?"

From the corner of Li Jun's eyes, he glanced at that conceited fat face, resisting to spit on his face, took out the Chongzhen imperial edict from the hidden pocket inside the military uniform, and handed it over.

"This time Gu Yong asked me to go to Songpanwei to look for this, the Chongzhen imperial edict."

After Yu Kou took it and scratched a few pages, he threw it back to Li Jun.

"Such a lot of effort to grab a useless junk thing, or these scholars can play."

"Play?" Li Jun looked stunned.

"When Jin Yiwei regains power in the future, you can also play like this."

Yu Kou looked sideways at Li Jun, and said with a smile, "Tell people you like a piece of toilet paper, and then watch them break their heads for the toilet paper."

Li Jun's forward steps suddenly slowed down by half a beat, and he turned his head to look at Yu Kou, his eyes were complicated and difficult to understand, as if there were scenes of lights and shadows flickering in it.

The red monk, King Kong, bullets, and flames crashed into the brick building, and he was soaked in blood.
Li Jun raised his hand and shaved his eyebrows, and replied with a smile: "That's a lot of fun."

The sound of the rain was rumbling. Although it was mid-spring, the air in Chengdu Mansion was still chilling to the bone.

Li Jun was silent for a moment, then asked: "Since this imperial edict is worthless, why did Gu Yong take the risk of offending those bald heads?"

"It's worthless in our eyes, but in the eyes of those rotten scholars who worship the ancients, this is a good collection. Gu Yong is looking for this edict to give gifts to those who may become the Gu family's master."

"Master? Someone in the Gu family wants to take the imperial examination?"

Li Jun searched the shallow historical memory in his mind, and vaguely remembered that the term Zuoshi should be the honorific title for the chief examiner of the imperial examination candidates.

Could it be that Gu Yong wanted to use the imperial edict to bribe the examiners and take a shortcut in the imperial examination?
Yu Kou sneered, "After all, he was born in a powerful family. Who would be ashamed to compete with those miserable poor students for the imperial examination bridge? Recommendation is the way for these powerful children to go."

The Jinyiwei General Banner's brows were full of mockery, and he sneered:

"There are still two months before the imperial court's three-year recommendation. I have received news that this year the New Donglin Party will reduce the number of nominations and give up the extra positions to those Confucian students with low backgrounds, so as to alleviate the growing conflict between noble and inferior within Confucianism."

"There is only one promotion quota allocated to the Chengdu government, so for the Gu and Wu families, whoever takes good care of the elders who have come down for examinations will have a smooth sailing for the official career of their children."

Yu Kou's words were concise and to the point, but there was a faint smell of blood.

Li Jun raised his eyebrows, "It's just a promotion to become an official. Is it so important to a family?"

"This is a promotion ritual related to the Confucian sequence, enough for these self-proclaimed gentle scholars to roll up their sleeves and fight to the death."

At this moment, Li Jun suddenly thought of the red monk Mucuo in Songpan Weizhong, and a few traces of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"The Chongzhen imperial edict is useless to Buddhists. It can be sold to the Gu family at a high price. Why do they hold on to it?"

Yu Kou chuckled, "Who says it's useless to them? There are monks who are officials. The black-clothed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao whose bones are rotten into mud is not low in the hearts of those bald heads."

Yu Kou pointed to the yellow silk book in Li Jun's hand, with a solemn expression on his face.

"This imperial edict is at best an appetizer sent by the Gu family. The real gift is yet to come. There will definitely be friction between Tianfu Heavy Industry and Shudao Logistics in the coming period."

"The meaning of the office is that you need to find out where all the things that the Gu family made a confession went to, and record everything clearly, so that you can't miss it."

Li Jun nodded, "The higher-ups are trying to take advantage of the Gu family?"

Yu Kou's face became gloomy and cold, "The higher-ups want to send this list to the Wu family when they are about to lose everything."

Li Jun was taken aback, "Why?"

Yu Kou said faintly: "When a person loses his eyes at the gambling table, if you hand him a knife at this time, what do you think will happen to him?"

what will happenOf course, it is to turn the table and turn the face, and raise a knife to kill.

Thinking of this, Li Jun could not help but take a deep breath.

At this moment, the two of them had reached the depths of this street, and there were two forks in front of them, one left and one right.

Yu Kou and Li Jun looked at each other, and parted from each other tacitly. Yu Kou moved his fat body and followed the crowd into the left fork.

Li Jun lowered his eyes all the way to the right, and finally stopped in front of an antique building.

Rockery, lotus ponds, trees, and corridors are all available in the building, and the landscape and gardens lie quietly in the rainstorm, making them even more tranquil.

The only thing that can be considered festive is the string of fiery red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the archway in front of the gate.

The lights were flickering, reflecting a signboard with gold characters on a black background, Chengdu Fujiaofangsi.
