Chapter 190 Farewell
[September , Southeast Province, provincial capital]

Jie Yan split up with another assassin who had seen Wang Ye Zhucheng's appearance, Jie Yan went to get to know Yuan's family, and the other assassin went to the home of a candidate who ranked lower, but neither of them looked like Wang Ye, and both Not who they were looking for.

Xie Yan originally thought that the Luming Banquet was another opportunity, but the previous chief envoy was arrested, and the new chief envoy wore a pair of trousers with Gao Meng, allowing some of Gao Meng's soldiers to be stationed in the provincial capital.

And Gao Meng also seems to have got some news. On the day of the Luming Banquet, the chief envoy was surrounded by soldiers within paces. Except for the officials attending the banquet, the candidates in the provincial examination, and the examiners, a bird They were not allowed to fly in. Some candidates walked, but more people entered the encirclement in a carriage. Jie Yan, who was in the carriage, had no chance to see him at all.

There has been no news since Mrs. Pei disappeared that day, so far all the clues in the provincial capital have been basically cut off.

"What should we do now? Boss?" an assassin asked Xie Yan.

They have been nesting in the inn for two days, the boss has been thinking, but did not arrange tasks.I suddenly called everyone to gather today, presumably there is a new plan.

"Go to Jinsha Town, Baima Village," Jie Yan said.

On September th, Xie Youqi was in the study of Jingde Academy, rereading the transcribed list, stroking his beard and nodding his head.

Liu Xunqing, who was sitting opposite him, said with a smile: "I can't see a flower again, so I only hit three."

Xie Youqi coughed twice when he heard the words: "Aren't you also three? Each other."

After Liu Xunqing was silent, Xie Youqi took Pei Zhiqi's paper and read it again, and sighed: "Such articles can't be used as a solution. It seems that the corrupt officials in Southeast Province have not been caught yet!"

"I know you feel sorry for the student, but it's good to get the third place in the exam, so I tell him not to slack off, don't relax before the exam in February next year, and study hard. Maybe you will be proud of the first exam, and it will be a waste of time," Liu Xunqing said. .

Xie Youqi put away the paper and thought: "I feel much better when you say that."

"Hey, Cao Cao is here, your precious student is here to see you," Liu Xunqing said to Xie Youqi, looking at Pei Zhiqi who was walking towards the courtyard.

Xie Youqi also took a look outside the door, then put down the things in his hands, got up and walked out.

Xie Youqi, who was walking outside, met Pei Zhiqi, who was walking in. He took the students to his resting place, made tea and talked.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the student put down the thank-you ceremony, he was so surprised that he almost dropped the cup and pot on the ground as soon as he opened his mouth.

"What did you say? Maybe you can't go to Beijing for the exam, what do you mean?" Xie Youqi asked, his voice suddenly became louder due to surprise.

Pei Zhiqi stood up, cupped his hands to the teacher, and said, "As the student said, because of family relations, we can only wait for news. Maybe we can go to the capital, or we can't go. If we can't go, the students can only stop at the provincial examination."

"What kind of deep hatred made you miss the exams in Beijing? If it is really necessary, I can ask the head of the mountain to write a letter to Mr. Zhang, the chief assistant, asking him to come forward and help you mediate between the two parties. How about that?"

Pei Zhiqi shook his head.

"Oh! I really didn't see it. Is it possible that your family offended the current Holy Majesty? Mr. Zhang can speak in front of the Holy Majesty, and you can't even do this little favor?"

Pei Zhiqi shook his head again, and said, "It's not that Mr. Zhang can't speak, but that the students don't know the specific situation at the moment, and they don't know how to mediate. After returning to my hometown in a few days, I will ask my parents again. If they are willing to talk, then If there is hope for mediation, I will ask the teacher to help me find a way.”

Xie Youqi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, since this is the situation, you don't have anything better to do. After you go back, find out clearly, and if you need anything, come to me in time."

Pei Zhiqi saluted Xie Youqi and said, "Thank you teacher."

Xie Youqi sighed: "Frankly speaking, you are the most promising of the three students I have passed the examination. If you fail the exam, I will lose to that old man Liu Xunqing this year."

After hearing what the teacher said, Pei Zhiqi smiled slightly, and suddenly he thought of something, and asked, "Dare to ask the teacher, is there any brother Qin Jin among the other two students who won the exam?"

Xie Youqi replied: "Yes, he is at the bottom of the list, so he is considered a winner, but he returned home after attending the Lu Ming Banquet."

"I see."

Xie Youqi said again: "Whether you go to the capital or not, I will give you what I should give you first. Don't waste your studies, study hard, and don't give up."

Pei Zhiqi nodded and replied, "Student understands."

After finishing speaking, Xie Youqi got up, took down a stack of papers and a few books from the shelf, put them in front of Pei Zhiqi, and said, "These are some test questions I compiled based on my experience, and there are some good articles, which I have reviewed in detail. After reading the annotations, take it back and study it carefully. There is also a book in it, which I compiled by myself. After you pass the general examination, the precautions for the palace examination, what can be written, to what extent you can write, and what you must not say. It is written very clearly, you must read it carefully and write it down. If you try it, you will be in dire straits, and if you don’t pay attention, you will be smashed to pieces. Remember, you can come back if you encounter any difficult things in the future Ask me, you can also ask the head of the mountain, do you understand?"

Pei Zhiqi stood up, bowed to Xie Youqi and said, "Teacher's kindness, students will never forget it."

"If you have no teeth and unforgettable memories, study hard. If you can enter Beijing, take the exam well. When you become an official, think more about the southeast province. If you can do something for the people in your hometown, it is not in vain for us to teach you."

"Students take note."

After finishing speaking, Xie Youqi sat down and asked Pei Zhiqi to sit down too.After sitting down, Pei Zhiqi added hot water to make tea, and poured a new cup for the teacher and himself.

After taking a sip of tea, Xie Youqi said again: "Speaking of which, Boss Wan and his family have supported the Academy for generations, hoping that there will be more talents in Southeast Province, who will return to their hometowns to serve as officials and do practical things for the people. Either stay in the capital and don’t want to come back, or come back and end up as a corrupt official, hey! You have to remember that it is much more difficult to keep your heart in the court than to take the provincial and general examinations.”

"Students understand and will definitely remember the teacher's teachings," Pei Zhiqi replied.

Then Xie Youqi chuckled: "I saw you today, I don't know if I will have a chance to see you next time, I'd better talk less, lest you recall the last time you met me with all these nasty words."

Pei Zhiqi shook his head with a smile and said, "Every word of the teacher's teaching is very important. The students have benefited a lot, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"Whether you go to the capital or not in the future, although it's rare to see each other face-to-face, letters can be exchanged for a long time. I've always been here on Jingde Mountain."

While talking, Xie Youqi became a little sad.After teaching for less than a year, the student is about to leave, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Pei Zhiqi would definitely remember to write a letter to the teacher when he answered, and Xie Youqi felt better.

The two chatted about other things, and it was not until the sun was about to set that Pei Zhiqi left and went home.
