The casual life of the flat space

"Oh, I'm so sorry... Hehe, that's not what I meant... Well, thank you very much, Miss Bai!" After some refusal, Zuo Ya accepted the string of money and said:

"Our Chief Clerk Ai is good in every way, except for one thing: his bad luck in exams. He started taking the exams when he was sixteen, but he failed until last year... So when he was twenty-six, his family offered him the position of Chief Clerk.

To be frank, Master Ai is a really good official. In my opinion, isn't it the same as being an official after passing the imperial examination? He might as well stay in our Shangan. In the ten years he has been here, our Shangan has not been tormented to the point of poverty, and Master Ai has made an invaluable contribution. "

"Brother Zuo, did you know that I opened a canning factory?"

"I know, of course I don't know! It's spread all over Shang'an, saying that you are a business prodigy!"

"Haha, you're too kind. Brother Zuo, I was just providing technology there, I didn't own much shares, and I didn't expect so many people to come and support us on the opening day... But, I don't think I saw Master Ai?"

"Hehe, if you want to talk about this, I actually know a thing or two. You can relax, he is not against you, nor does he have any conflict with General Zhao.

First, the Ai family has never been involved in such matters. In addition, the character of the chief clerk Ai... I just told you that he never passed the exam. And then, he is the eldest son of the eldest house... You, do you understand what I mean?"

Seeing Bai Tieying nod, Zuo Yaren continued, "Second, it was this year's timing. The man was exiled, the county magistrate resigned, and the county lieutenant also... I can't explain the specific details because I just heard it from others.

But what he meant was that Ai Zhubu wanted to take this opportunity to move up, and if he succeeded, he would give up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination. After all, the other branches of his family who took the imperial examination were said to have the lowest rank of county magistrate, and our Shang'an was only a lower county with less than a thousand households, so Ai Zhubu was just a low-rank official of the ninth rank.

Hey! You said that person could pass the imperial examination, but why is this thought...even if...Hey! I wish that Master Ai could achieve his wish!"

Bai Tieying saw that Zuoya people were quite impressed with Ai Zhubu, and he couldn't help but feel curious. Just when he was about to talk about the ten cents, he heard Mu Qingqiu shouting from below: "Tieying, haven't you finished reading it yet? I've already measured it downstairs. Let's go back and discuss it."

"Hey, I've finished here too, I'll be going down right away!"

Bai Tieying followed Zuoya Ren downstairs and did not stay long. They went out of the backyard, locked the door, and took a carriage back to the shop to get the horses.

While the two of them were walking back, Mu Qingqiu looked at the no one beside him and signaled Bai Tieying to enter the space to talk to him.

"Sister Wangshu, why did you come back so early today?" Bai Tieying asked curiously when she saw Wangshu and Fei Lian were both at home.

"What the hell! What the hell!"

"What the hell? Does the golden eagle want to reincarnate? I'll catch it right now to help you vent your anger!" When Bai Tieying heard Wangshu say that he was mad at the golden eagle, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to catch the golden eagle.

"What the hell, what the hell!" Fei Lian explained what happened.

"Uh... so that's what happened! It was indeed me who asked it to do that, but I didn't ask it to show off! You two just wait! I'm going to let it remember what it felt like to be on 'Hot Wheels'!"

Bai Tieying grabbed with her little hand, and the golden eagle appeared by the neck, just like a caught old hen.

"Golden Eagle, you don't want to be a good bird, you want to be a roast chicken! You use chicken feathers as a token of authority, did I let you show off? Did I let you shit on Wangshu and his wife's heads? And did I let you? Then I'll let you remember it!"

The golden eagle quickly apologized and begged for mercy. What else should it do? It beat the younger one and the older one jumped out. It was a little too proud of itself today and forgot about the two experienced people who complained. Oh! If it could do it again, it would rather break its wings than provoke these two guys.

Bai Tieying's plan might have failed, but thinking about the possibility, he didn't bother to deal with it any further. He swung it around twice to let Wangshu vent his anger, then sent it back. Only then did he start talking to Mu Qingqiu.

"The sound just now was probably made by the wrong weight when I opened the entrance to the tunnel. I think the Zuoya people didn't suspect anything?" Mu Qingqiu first explained his mistake.

"It's okay. Your reaction was so good that he didn't suspect anything."

"That's good. I called you in anxiously because I suspect that the Cui family is related to the Lan Kingdom."

"What?" Bai Tieying thought that they might have some business shady dealings, but he didn't expect it to be related to Lan Country.

"As you said, the tunnel leads directly to the northeast corner of Guanglefang. The reason why I suspect it is related to Lan Country is because the tableware I found in the kitchen of the house over there is what the people of Lan Country usually use. I didn't have time to investigate other places and came back. If possible, I hope you can go with me to investigate again."

"Okay, that's no problem. But the news I heard today is that the Cui family has been here for at least a hundred years, and they are also one of the most prominent families in Shang'an. Why..."

"Tieying, you know that the north is bitterly cold. Ever since Jing, the predecessor of Lan, discovered five hundred years ago that they could reach Dahao by crossing the Yubei Mountains, the people there have never given up the idea of ​​invading Dayu. Dahao also launched a counterattack against Jing at the end of the dynasty. It is said that a full 100,000 troops were sent at that time, but unfortunately they were defeated.

This year, Master brought me to Yubei because Zhao Xiang mentioned to me when he met me at the New Year banquet that the Yubei Mountains are high and deep, stretching for thousands of miles, and there are countless confrontations and fights every year. If you want to practice martial arts, this place is a real fight, and it is the best place for me.

Of course, there are open struggles and covert struggles. When we first met, the spy disappeared after entering the county town. Later, we were in danger in the Yubei Mountains because we encountered the Lan Country spy.

In fact, I have told General Zhao about this, but we both suffered from the fact that all the clues were broken, so I was unwilling to let go of the clues I found this time, but you..."

"Okay, I'm from Dayu too, and this is what I should do. Just ask me if you have any plans. Why are you being so polite to me?"

"Tieying, spies are necessarily desperate criminals. I can't guarantee that there will be no danger, but I promise to do my best to protect you."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be such a phoenix! I was pointing to the big tree where I could enjoy the shade! Don't say such unlucky words to me! Knock on the wood three times and say 'Pah, pah, pah'!"

Mu Qingqiu smiled and did as she was told. She looked so adorable, just like her mother, even the words she spoke were similar.
