You are not exile, you are clearly traveling!

165 Shocking
"teacher?"

Seeing the dignified county magistrate saluting a man named Hanako and calling him teacher, everyone was surprised.

But Yuan Li was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his face ashen as death.

"How is it possible, how is this possible!"

How could a beggar be the teacher of the magistrate?

The waiter at the shop next to him was so frightened that he fainted on the ground. Before he fell into coma, he had the same thoughts as Li Yuanwai.

how can that be!

The restaurant owner next to him also had trembling legs, sweating profusely, and could not conceal the horror in his heart.

He pressed the wrong treasure!
The reason why Mr. Tan appeared was not because of Mr. Li.

"This……"

The people who were watching and the government officials were stunned and shocked.

And Chen Xue was also a little surprised.

Her father actually has a disciple who is a county magistrate?
However, it makes sense to think that her father used to be the Minister of Household Affairs.

"It's Zhengming!"

Tan Shuxian, whose style name is Zhengming.

Master Chen felt a little emotional. Tan Shuxian was not his disciple in the strict sense.

At that time, Tan Shuxian passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination. He also performed very well in the imperial examination and was finally assigned to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Newcomers are always bullied.

But fortunately, Mr. Chen also came up from below, so he took good care of Tan Shuxian.

And Tan Shuxian also treated Mr. Chen as a teacher.

Master Chen also discovered Tan Shuxian's talents, so he took great care of him and taught him his own experience as an official.

He even told him that if he wanted to be promoted in the household department, he must first go to the grassroots level to become familiar with it and make achievements.

However, Tan Shuxian had no background and no backing, so he had no way to become a local official.

At a certain court meeting, Mr. Chen recommended Tan Shuxian to become a local official.

So Tan Shuxian came here to be the county magistrate.

It lasts for 3 years.

Just a few months ago, the court assessment had been completed, and he could return to the capital long ago.

But he did not set out immediately.

But wait here.

Because he also heard about Mr. Chen, although he also felt sorry for Mr. Chen, he was unable to change it. Therefore, he could only find a way to find out the route of Mr. Chen and his party, and waited here for several months.

It was not until the imperial court kept urging him that he had to leave, that he heard the report from his subordinates.

The officials escorting the prisoners came.

He knew it was coming.

So he found Xu Tian at the first time, and then he heard his subordinates report that someone was causing trouble on the street, and according to his description, he knew it was Master Chen, so he rushed over in a hurry.

"teacher!"

Tears welled up in Tan Shuxian's eyes. After three years of separation, the farewell was different.

"It's because the disciple is incompetent and unable to clear his teacher's name..."

"Zhengming doesn't have to be like this!" Mr. Chen quickly helped him up. "Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. It's a great blessing that I can save my life, and this is actually a good thing."

"This……"

Tan Shuxian was stunned by Mr. Chen's look of seeing everything in the world, but he was relieved to see that the teacher did not give up on himself.

At least the teacher's attitude is good, and I will still have the opportunity to help the teacher clear his name in the future.

Naturally, he didn't know that Mr. Chen was not accepting his fate, but really felt that this was a good thing.

After all, he knew that his daughter's current opportunity would be more easily exposed in the capital. After all, she was at the feet of the emperor, but if she was in Nanman.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

Being an official in the imperial court may seem like a glamorous one, with all the splendor and wealth, but every day is like walking on thin ice and there is a feeling of precariousness.

Just like him now, overnight, he went from being an official in the imperial court to being a prisoner. He could have saved his life only if his colleagues and friends had not risked their lives to persuade him.

But if they come to the Southern Barbarians, their destiny is in their own hands. If they are a little ambitious, they can become the emperor of the country themselves.

Closer to home.

Therefore, Mr. Chen has seen through the exile at this time, and is not even interested in clearing his name. On the contrary, he advises others not to do so.

After all, he was still in exile, and if he pissed off the emperor again, an imperial edict could kill them.

Hearing that the teacher asked him not to clear his name, Tan Shuxian was stunned and said, "Teacher, why..."

"In short, what you have to do in the future is to do things for the people well, instead of spending your mind on clearing up my grievances..."

Tan Shuxian opened his mouth, knowing that the teacher said so, he couldn't refute it, but he still remembered it in his heart.

"Teacher, what happened just now? You are not injured!" Tan Shuxian returned to the topic and then looked at Chen's mother, "I have met my master's wife and my junior sister..."

Fortunately, Mother Chen had met Tan Shuxian before, so she smiled and nodded to him, but Chen Xue didn't remember clearly.

However, I was surprised at the bottom of my heart. His father still had quite a lot of connections, from local magistrates to generals, and he had good connections.

Maybe this is also the reason why her father, or their family, was able to save their lives even though they were involved in a disaster relief food embezzlement case!

Master Chen explained the matter simply, not exaggerating, just telling the truth.

"Teacher, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to the disciples!"

After Tan Shuxian finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Yuan Li and others with a gloomy face. The teacher was on his own territory and almost had an accident.

As a disciple, if I don't handle this matter well, how can I be worthy of my teacher's family?

If it weren't for his teacher, he wouldn't be where he is today. Maybe he would have to stay in the household department for decades before he could get ahead.

Therefore, he had vowed before to repay the teacher, and he regarded the teacher as his reborn parent in his heart.

"Sir, forgive me!"

When Li Yuanwai saw Master Tan's face, he fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I, I didn't do anything to that master... nor did I scold them..."

"Hmph!" Tan Shuxian snorted coldly, "Insult, attack on an official of the imperial court, capital punishment..."

puff!
Li, a foreign clerk, was so frightened that he became incontinent and kowtowed to beg for mercy. His head was broken.

Tan Shuxian's face darkened, he subconsciously took a few steps back and snorted coldly, "You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living crime!"

"Come here, drag me down with a staff as big as twenty boards!"

He had never thought about killing member Li. If he did, wouldn't he become a so-called corrupt official?

This goes against his will to be an official.

It's just that when Li Yuanwai insulted Mr. Chen's family, he was insulting him. Naturally, he wanted to help Mr. Chen vent his anger.

Twenty big boards wouldn't kill him, but it would teach him a lesson.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan!" Li Yuanwai was relieved when he heard the words, and quickly kowtowed his thanks.

However, Mr. Tan waved his hand, "If you want to thank me, thank my teacher, otherwise, it will be more than just twenty big boards!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Li quickly kowtowed to Mr. Chen and thanked him, "Thank you so much, sir. I am ignorant and do not know your true face. Thank you so much for not remembering the faults of villains..."

Seeing Li Yuanwai's appearance, which was completely opposite to the previous arrogant appearance, everyone couldn't help but sighed.

No wonder everyone wants to have power.
