After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Hu Sanlang suddenly thought of someone and immediately said, "I didn't want to kidnap Sister Zhang. I was forced to do it."

There really was someone behind him, so Dong Jianyong asked, "Were you forced? Who forced you?"

Hu Sanlang said, "I'll tell you who's trying to kill me. If you let me go, I won't tell you."

Dong Jianyong nodded, "Okay."

Hu Sanlang certainly didn't believe that Dong Jianyong would agree so readily, so he said, "You swear that after I tell you, you will let me go."

Dong Jianyong swore, "I swear, if I break my promise, my descendants will be extinct."

This oath was quite poisonous, and Hu Sanlang believed it a little.

Dong Jianyong urged, "Okay, I swear I've already sent it, just tell me now."

Hu Sanlang said, "He is the nephew of Mr. Luo, the academician of Ding'an Prefecture."

"really?"

Hu Sanlang said hurriedly, "Really? It's Lord Luo's nephew. His name is Luo Hao, and he wants Sister Zhang's braised pork recipe."

Dong Jianyong believed it mostly because of the braised pork recipe.

He looked at Hu Sanlang with a smile and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Hu Sanlang shook his head. "No more. I've said everything I need to say. Let go..."

Before Hu Sanlang could finish his words, Dong Jianyong exerted force on him and Hu Sanlang immediately felt difficulty breathing.

He slapped Dong Jianyong's arm hard, his face flushed red, "You, you swore... you... are... not... afraid..."

Dong Jianyong sneered, "I don't have any descendants, so why should I be afraid of anything..."

Hu Sanlang struggled for a while, and then died completely.

Dong Jianyong dragged Hu Sanlang to the place where Ma Erhuang San was buried, dug a pit, threw Hu Sanlang in, and then buried it.

Dong Jianyong also compacted the soil on top and then covered it with some branches and dead grass.

After finishing everything, Dong Jianyong returned to the village to find Zhang Hulan and told her about Luo Hao, who was betrayed by Hu Sanlang.

Dong Jianyong asked: "Do you want me to give Luo Hao to the capital city..."

"No." Zhang Hulan shook her head and said, "We rarely go to the provincial capital, so we'll just be more careful next time."

Zhang Hulan didn't want Dong Jianyong to take risks. The provincial capital was someone else's territory, and a strong dragon could not defeat a local snake. What's more, they were the snake, or even not even snakes.

Zhang Hulan planned to tell Wang Xingren about this matter. Now this business is also Wang Xingren's business, so let him handle it.

……

Wang Xingren went to his sister's place in Hekou County some time ago, and did not return to Changning County until Ye Hongyun sent someone to look for him.

The people arranged for him by Lord Wang arrived in Changning County.

Zhang Hulan received the news from Wang Xingren, and then took Zhang Dahua to the county town.

Wang Xingren was planning to rent a yard in the county town, but Ye Hongyun said that it was not cost-effective to rent a yard for just a few days, so she vacated the backyard of the county government office for him to use.

Wang Xingren pointed at the fifty people who had come from the capital and said to Zhang Hulan, "Madam Zhang, they are all here. You should teach them a lesson."

Zhang Hulan pulled Zhang Dahua to the front and said, "Let my niece teach you. She knows everything."

Wang Xingren had no objection, so he bowed to Zhang Dahua and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Zhang."

Zhang Dahua bowed to Wang Xingren and said, "Mr. Wang, you are so polite!"

Zhang Dahua then said, "Then I'll start by teaching them about spices. After we buy the pig heads and other things, I'll teach them how to process them."

Wang Xingren nodded, "Okay, now everything will be arranged by Miss Zhang."

With Zhang Dahua teaching those people, Ye Hongyun pulled Zhang Hulan over to talk.

Ye Hongyun said, "The teacher you asked me to find isn't easy to find. The notice has been posted for several days, but no one has come to inquire..."

“It’s not that there weren’t any. There was one person who came to ask for advice, but the master didn’t want him because he was concerned about his character.

The master said that a teacher’s character is more important than his academic performance.

If the teacher has bad character, wouldn’t he lead all the children astray?

The children mainly need proper guidance when they are five, six, seven or eight years old.

The master said that since he promised you, he will definitely help you find a reliable person.

If he really couldn't find her, he planned to call one of his classmates. But that guy has a strange temper and is a bit arrogant, so he wasn't sure if he would come.

Zhang Hulan was surprised. "Your Excellency's classmates, they're not just scholars, right?"

Ye Hongyun smiled and said, "Of course he is not a scholar, he is a Jinshi."

"Jinshi?"

Although Zhang Hulan didn't understand the imperial examinations, he still knew about the terms "xiucai", "juren", "jinshi" and "zhuangyuan".

She said hurriedly: "I only run a primary school, how can I afford a Jinshi?"

Zhang Hulan immediately thought, "That's not right! Shouldn't Jinshi be serving as an official?"

Ye Hongyun said, "Well, didn't I tell you that he's a bit arrogant? He comes from an ordinary family, a humble background.

He doesn't like flattery. To put it bluntly, even if you are the top scholar and the emperor gives you an official position, it will be difficult for you to do things in the court if you don't have good relations with the ministers.

This man is more knowledgeable than the master, and his exam ranking is much higher than the master's.

But he was very stubborn. He had a good relationship with the master. The master contacted my father-in-law and asked him to help him arrange to greet the court, but the man was unwilling to do so.

Then, all the other Jinshi scholars, whether they stayed in the capital or were sent to the local areas, were given official positions, but he was the only one who did not have a position.

When the master left Beijing last year, he said that he could find a way to get him into the Hanlin Academy as an editor, a seventh-rank official, but the man still disagreed.

It is said that he studied hard for more than 20 years just to serve the court.

He said he had passed the imperial examination and had proven his ability, so if the court did not use him, then so be it. He would not ask anyone to arrange an official position for him.

Zhang Hulan understood that this was a stubborn person.

People with a stubborn personality are suitable for scientific research and are also good at teaching.

Zhang Hulan smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

"Well, what's the trouble? He doesn't have as much to do this year as last year. Many things have been assigned to the county magistrate and county lieutenant."

Ye Hongyun covered her mouth and smiled as she spoke: "I tell you, we returned to Beijing for the New Year. I guess it was because of the news before Xingren Chuan that the master came to Changning County. Because of the affairs of Changning County, he lost a lot of weight.

After returning to Beijing, the emperor summoned the master to the palace to see him.

When the emperor saw that the master had indeed lost a lot of weight, he praised him for a long time and asked him to take good care of his health.

When I left the palace, the emperor gave me a lot of gifts."

This……

Zhang Hulan said, "But I see that you haven't lost much weight in this period of time?"

Ye Hongyun complained, "Alas, there's nothing I can do. I have so many social engagements after returning to Beijing.

His former classmates and some friends he knew in Beijing all invited him to drink.

Besides, I have many relatives in Beijing, and it’s Chinese New Year.

This is despite his daily exercise, otherwise he would have gained weight again.”

That’s true. During the Chinese New Year period, many people gain weight.

If you eat good food almost every day and don’t work, it would be strange if you don’t gain weight.
