Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Ji Jiahui's tone was sonorous and his expression was firm, as if he was really a good official who was upright and upright and spoke up for the people.

Seeing this scene, Chen Lang wanted to applaud Ji Jiahui.

At the same time, a classic line from Stephen Chow's movie "Justice, My Foot" came to my mind.

"Official! Official!"

Only those with thick skin like a city wall can become an official.

Ji Jiahui took the lead, and the students below followed suit, determined to fight corrupt officials like Yan Xiaoguo to the end.

Among them, Ning Wenxu shouted the loudest.

He was also very clear that denouncing Yan Xiaoguo might not clear his name, but if he did not denounce Yan Xiaoguo, he would be doomed.

Zhu Sui'an was very happy to see such a scene. The greater the public anger, the more he could take advantage of the chaos to deal with Yan Xiaoguo.

"Yan Xiaoguo has committed corruption and abuse of power, disregarding laws and discipline. His crimes are unforgivable."

"Master Ji, you must immediately lead your men to Yan Xiaoguo's residence and bring him to justice."

"If he dares to resist, his crime will be even more serious."

"Pei Ming, you go too."

After saying that, he glanced at Pei Ming.

Pei Ming understood what he meant and left with Ji Jiahui.

The students at the government office gate also followed in large numbers.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Chen Lang was about to leave when Zhu Sui'an stopped him.

"Does your Excellency have any other instructions?" Chen Lang asked with a bow.

Zhu Sui'an looked at him for a long time and said, "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to Linshui County to find me."

After that, he gave Chen Lang a jade pendant: "With this, you can enter and exit the Duke's mansion as you please."

Chen Lang was horrified and thought to himself: Could this guy really be interested in my back garden?

It simply doesn't make sense that a county duke and Qinzhou Road pacification commissioner would make such a heavy promise to himself.

If Zhu Sui'an knew what Chen Lang was thinking, he would probably kick him.

Tong Shicheng took in the entire scene. Although he didn't say anything, his level of attention to Chen Lang was already at its highest level.

At the same time, I am also a little curious. How did Chen Lang, a country boy, catch the eye of Zhu Sui'an?

……

The residence of the Tongzhi.

Ever since Ji Jiahui gave the temporary position of chief examiner to Nie Ziru instead of himself, Tongzhi Meng Haide simply claimed to be sick and did not go to the government office to work.

Later, when he learned that Ji Jiahui was planning to sacrifice Chen Lang to rebuild his image in the minds of the majority of candidates, Meng Haide began to feel fortunate that he did not get involved in this mess.

If I had insisted on competing with Nie Ziru for the position of chief examiner, I would be the one who is in trouble today.

Ji Jiahui looks kind, but he is actually very cunning and ruthless.

Nie Ziru's good reputation is likely to be ruined.

Just as Meng Haide was drinking by himself and celebrating his escape, the housekeeper came running over and said breathlessly, "My lord...something big has happened."

Meng Haide took a sip of wine and said slowly: "What are you panicking about?"

The housekeeper said, "News has come from the government office. Chen Lang is suing Yan Xiaoguo for corruption and bribery, intending to seize his property."

Meng Haide sarcastically said, "Chen Lang is already busy with his own affairs, and he still has the mind to complain? And the person he is complaining about is Yan Xiaoguo, who is about to return to Beijing to report on his work. Did he get his head squeezed by the door?"

The housekeeper said anxiously, "No, sir. Chen Lang's cheating allegations have been proven to be false. Scholar Xiao Yu personally came forward to vouch for him, saying that Chen Lang's literary talent is unparalleled. The song "Peach Blossom Cottage Song" that caused huge controversy before was also certified by Scholar Xiao as being written by Chen Lang."

Meng Haide put down his wine glass, his face slightly serious: "Xiao Yu came forward to guarantee Chen Lang? Ha, that's interesting."

"That old fellow Xiao Yu is about to return to the cabinet. If Ji Jiahui has any brains, he won't offend Xiao Yu at this critical juncture."

"Chen Lang's fraud case was so grand, but it ended so abruptly. Ji Jiahui must have vomited a dozen ounces of blood."

"And this Chen Lang is very smart. He stood up for justice and immediately attacked Yan Xiaoguo. In order to redeem himself, Ji Jiahui will inevitably go to war with Yan Xiaoguo."

"This Chen Lang is not only talented but also has wisdom in officialdom. He knows how to use the opponent's strength to counter the opponent's. He is a rare talent."

"It's a pity that Ji Jiahui can't deal with Yan Xiaoguo. At most, he can only pretend. Yan Xiaoguo has to return to Beijing. Even if he dies, he can only die at the hands of the emperor."

The housekeeper said, "Sir, this time is different, because the order to arrest Yan Xiaoguo was issued personally by the pacification envoy."

Meng Haide stood up suddenly and asked, "When did the pacification envoy arrive?"

The housekeeper said, "It must have been today. I just happened to see the prefect interrogating Chen Lang."

Meng Haide was so anxious that he walked around the room and cursed, "Why didn't you come and tell me earlier!"

"The envoy arrived, but I didn't go to the scene. Do you know how great a dereliction of duty this is?"

The butler lowered his head and said, "Sir, I just got the news as well."

"Your Excellency, if you rush over now, you might even be able to meet the Pacifier..."

Meng Haide said: "Go? Go for nothing!"

"For now, I can only continue to plead sick. When this matter is completely over, have someone carry me before the pacification envoy."

"Go and ask around right away. I want to know everything the pacification envoy said and did after arriving in Guangling Prefecture!"

The butler took the order and left.

In less than a meal's time, the butler came back and told Meng Haide all the information he had obtained.

Meng Haide frowned, rubbing his temples and said, "The envoy of peace also praised Chen Lang highly. What is this kid's background?"

"Are you sure he is a tongsheng?"

The housekeeper nodded. "I'm sure he's not only a student, but he once dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. The students from Nanhe County can all attest to this."

"It seems this person's talent is even higher than what he has shown so far, otherwise..."

Before the housekeeper finished speaking, he was interrupted by Meng Haide, who sneered and said, "Talent? Bullshit."

"Can talent alone conquer Xiao Yu? Can it conquer Zhu Sui'an?"

"He must have some secret."

The housekeeper said, "Sir, how about we invite Chen Lang to come over and interview him in person?"

Meng Haide was speechless, squinting at him and saying, "Have you been living comfortably for too long and your brain is moldy? What kind of bullshit suggestion is this? Do you want to kill me?"

The housekeeper was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and kept saying that the villain deserved to die.

Meng Haide pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, how is Yan Xiaoguo?"

The housekeeper wiped his sweat and said, "Resisting arrest, mute."

"Hmm?" Meng Haide asked, "Who made him mute?"

The housekeeper said, "I'm not sure about this little guy. According to the constable who participated in the arrest of Yan Xiaoguo, the scene was too chaotic. After Yan Xiaoguo was apprehended, he became speechless."

Meng Haide's eyes narrowed into slits: "Someone wants Yan Xiaoguo to shut up."

"In this case, I have to help out."

"Immediately organize a group of people and go to the government office to sue Yan Xiaoguo."

"The bigger the noise, the better. Even if it hurts a few people, it's fine."

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "I'll do it right away."
