I am a hereditary jailer, start to suppress the eldest princess

"Did he make things difficult for you again?" Xiao Ran asked back.

"No." Shi Ming shook his head.

"Sun Hu came to me yesterday and has already apologized to me and admitted his mistakes for the things he committed before. The things before will be written off."

Xiao Ran patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Since the matter is resolved, take the test hard. You are Jie Yuan, this time try to get a member of the Hui Yuan, and when the palace exam comes, you will win the first prize."

"Do your best."

"Go." Xiao Ran said.

He returned to the crowd again, but the candidates around him looked at him in a different way, with a little more awe.

"Brother Xiao's time is up." Xiao Zhou reminded.

"Start." Xiao Ran said.

The surrounding divine sword guards began to check, and Xiao Ran stood by, secretly using his clear eyesight to see if they were cheating.

They were very honest this time, and no one was found to be cheating again.

At the end.

Sun Hu was nervous, after being checked, he saluted to meet Xiao Ran's eyes, and then hurried into the examination room.

After all the examinees had entered, Xiao Ran ordered the door to be closed and stood guard at the door.

Three days passed in a flash.

The exams are over, and today is the day to release the results.

Suzaku Avenue here.

Surrounded by many candidates, in addition to them, there are also guards from some wealthy families, who are going to come to the list to catch their son-in-law.

As a group of imperial guards walked quickly, an officer in the lead posted the list on the wall.

All the candidates went crazy, pushing forward desperately one by one.

Suzaku Square.

88 number.

Xiao Ran's luxurious mansion looked at the wooden bridge that had been built, leading directly to Xiaolong Lake from here.

Go to the center of the viewing river and stand on the wooden bridge.

Looking at the water surface around him, Xiao Ran showed satisfaction.

"The money was not in vain."

"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao..." A hurried call sounded in the mansion, it was Xiao Zhou or someone else.

"Didn't this guy go to see the list?" Xiao Ran was surprised.

Back to the courtyard.

Xiao Zhou stepped forward to meet you, "I've been looking for you for a long time, and I'm almost dying of anxiety."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Ran asked.

"My father is having a banquet at home at noon, let me invite you over. My lord and the Taoist priest are waiting at the Divine Sword Guard, let's go there quickly."

"What are you doing with such a nice banquet?" Xiao Ran was puzzled.

Xiao Zhou scratched his head.

"Don't ask me, I don't know. I'm only in charge of spreading the word, but when you get to the place, don't you know?"

"Okay." Xiao Ran agreed.

Leave Fuchu.

Join Shen Yiming at Shen Jianwei and rush towards Zhou Mansion.

Xiao Zhou said: "Do you know who won No.1 this time?"

boom!

"Are you cheating again?" Xiao Ran knocked over with a chestnut.

Xiao Zhou covered his head with a resentful expression on his face, "Can't you let me get addicted?"

I didn't dare to sell it anymore.

"Shi Ming! Winning No.1, Xie Yuan and Hui Yuan have won two rankings in a row. When it comes to the palace examination, they will be number one in high school and will be crowned three times in a row."

"Him?" Xiao Ran was surprised.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou nodded.

"Fortunately, he didn't go there at the time, otherwise the guards guarding the list would have snatched him away long ago. I also heard that these people still don't give up and want to find him out, and take him away from the inn in the capital. , Turned everything upside down, but still haven't found him."

"He won't live in an inn." Xiao Ran shook his head.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the three people, he simply explained.

"His conditions are relatively difficult. Last time he sold calligraphy and got 100 taels from me. He will not waste money on useless work. Every money will be carefully calculated."

"No wonder." The three were stunned.

Arrived at Zhoufu.

Father Zhou waited at the door for a long time, when he saw the three of them coming, he warmly greeted them.

After the greeting.

Enter Fuchu.

Xiao Ran and Daoist Xuanyang were invited to the hall for tea, accompanied by Father Zhou.

Shen Yiming was taken to the backyard by Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Ran said: "It's mysterious, what kind of tricks are you selling?"

Father Zhou smiled and said: "Good thing! After you left last time, we have been thinking about finding a good family for you. It just so happens that Ning'er is the niece of a best friend. She is as beautiful as a flower, knowledgeable and understanding. And You are not busy recently, so I called you here, first to get together, and second to help Yiming solve his single problem."

"Have you introduced him to a blind date?" Xiao Ran was surprised.

Looking at each other with Daoist Xuanyang, they both saw deep disbelief in each other's eyes.

Think of what happened to Xiao Zhou.

The two shuddered subconsciously, and stood up in a tacit understanding.

Xiao Ran was the first to speak, "I suddenly remembered that there is still a case waiting for me to deal with in the Excalibur Guard, so let's go ahead."

Without waiting for Zhou's father to open his mouth, he quickly ran outside.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The poor Taoist is a monk, and he is dedicated to the Tao, and never asks about the affairs of the world." Taoist Xuanyang said solemnly.

Even body skills are used.

Following closely behind Xiao Ran, the speed was so fast that even Zhou's father could not catch up on horseback.

Out of the Zhou mansion.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw happiness in their eyes.

Xiao Ran said: "Next time no matter what, I can't come to his house again."

Taoist Xuanyang felt the same way and added something.

"Even my own son has been tricked like this, whoever goes on a blind date will be unlucky."

Xiao Ran joked: "Aren't you dedicated to Taoism? When you were in Drunken Immortal Courtyard, no one knew how to play like you."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, who will go to hell if the poor don't go to hell?"

"Go back first." Xiao Ran said.

on the way back.

Taoist Xuanyang hesitated to speak, he opened his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Is there anything difficult to say between us?" Xiao Ran asked.

"If the Shangqing Palace is not cured for a day, it will always be a disease in the heart of the poor." Taoist Xuanyang said.

He looked at Xiao Ran seriously.

"I want you to help me."

"That's why you trust me?" Xiao Ran asked back.

"Intuition." Taoist Xuanyang said.

"Pimpedao's intuition tells me that you are very extraordinary. As long as you are willing to help, even if the Shangqing Palace has a long history, it may not be your opponent."

Xiao Ran didn't speak immediately, and continued to walk forward.

Daoist Xuanyang said again: "There is a half-step heavenly treasure in the Shangqing Palace. Although it does not have any attack power, it has a strong auxiliary effect and doubles the success rate of talisman making and alchemy."

Xiao Ran still didn't answer.

"They are still very rich. After so many years of inheritance, they have accumulated a very rich net worth. Their wealth may not be less than [-] million taels, or even more." Xuanyang Daochang said again.

Seeing him still didn't speak.

Daoist Xuanyang was anxious, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "There is a secret place in the Shangqing Palace, and there is a sky-defying fruit tree in it, which matures every 300 years. If you eat it, it can awaken the blood. If People who have awakened themselves once have at least half the chance of awakening for the second time."

Just arrived at the door of Xiao Ran's house.

Stopping, "Is that why you're so afraid of them?"

"Pindao is a traitor of the Shangqing Palace. He joined the Excalibur and contributed to the Vientiane Universe. This is the supernatural power inherited from the Shangqing Palace. Coupled with the things they committed before, they want to get rid of the poor. If one day does not Get rid of them, unless Pindao hides in the Divine Sword Guard forever, otherwise they will not let me go once I leave the capital." Taoist Xuanyang said solemnly.

"Are they really rich?" Xiao Ran asked.

Daoist Xuanyang's eyes lit up. Since Xiao Ran asked this question, his heart was probably moved, "Well! They are very rich, and every pilgrim who comes to offer incense has to buy additional incense. The minimum price for one incense stick is 100 taels , up to 1 taels."

Ponder.

Xiao Ran said: "You go back first, let me think about this matter."

"Poverty is waiting for your news." Taoist Xuanyang was right.

Just when he was about to leave, Shi Ming looked for him and saw Xiao Ran rushing up.

There are some gifts in hand.

Taoist Xuanyang smiled slightly, "The poor Taoist will not bother you."

With a flick of the whisk, he left gracefully.

"Benevolence!" Shi Ming shouted enthusiastically.

"I just did it conveniently, so I can't bear this kindness." Xiao Ran shook his head.

"If it weren't for you, the matter between me and Sun Hu would not be easily resolved. And the 100 taels helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would starve to death before the subsidy money from the Ministry of Household Affairs came out."

"Call me Brother Xiao." Xiao Ran said.

Open the courtyard door and walk in.

Shi Ming followed, and then closed the door.

Here in the backyard.

Jin Yi put the brewed teapot in front of Xiao Ran, and inspected the yard again.

His responsibilities are very heavy now, and he is responsible for the houses on both sides.

He poured two cups with the teapot, and passed one cup over, "This is the Imperial Palace Snow Ginseng Tea, try it."

"Thank you Brother Xiao." Shi Ming was grateful.

He took a sip of the tea, the tea entered his stomach, the aroma remained, and it also contained strong spiritual power. Even though he rarely drank tea, he knew it was the best.

"Good tea."

Xiao Ran asked: "The imperial examination will be in three days, how sure are you?"

"Seventy percent sure." Shi Ming answered after thinking carefully.

"If you are the champion in high school, what are your plans for the future?"

"Fill your stomach, solve the warm situation, and then work for the welfare of the people. If you can't even fill your own stomach, the rest will be empty. Besides, what is the purpose of studying hard for ten years? After suffering so much A lot of grievances are nothing more than wanting to stand out and look like someone." Shi Ming said truthfully.
