How shameless can Zhang Zhongchun be? No, it should be said that how shameless can Zhang Zhongchun be?

During the three years when this young master was in poverty, Xia Lin and the other two stole other people's salted fish, cheated children of their red envelopes, worked as laborers and as tenants. Xia Lin fed pigs and Zhang Zhongchun herded sheep. They did everything they could to survive. How low could this go?
But when Xia Lin learned about the young master's plan, he was really shocked. He never expected that the man who read the books of sages could be more filthy than a dog that eats shit.

"Your wisdom is not inferior to mine. Just use your wisdom and I will cooperate with you."

“Isn’t this a bit too much?”

"Big?" Zhang Zhongchun took a few large spoonfuls of the rice and put them in the bowl. He quickly put them into his mouth and said, "They didn't intend to give us a chance to live. Do you still want to take the exam?"

Xia Lin thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Let's do it tomorrow."

The next day came in a blink of an eye. Xia Lin got up very early that day. He first went to the house of Brother Liu, a butcher not far away, to get a piece of rotten meat. How stinky was this rotten meat... It was basically the smell of pus from a malignant sore. As soon as he took it out of the bucket, Xia Lin was choked by the smell.

He pinched his nose and took the stinky meat back into the house. Zhang Zhongchun, who was washing up, vomited as soon as he smelled the smell. He covered his nose and said in disgust: "Wake up, you can't eat this meat."

"You're sick, who would eat this?" Xia Lin walked to the side and took out some old gauze to wrap the stinky meat, then he took down the door panel and said, "You, lie down on it."

"Hmm? What are you going to do?"

"I thought about it yesterday. Your trick is too fake. Saying that you are seriously ill and in urgent need of a pass to get treatment is not as good as you lying at his doorstep with a rotten body." Xia Lin put his hands on his waist and looked Zhang Zhongchun up and down: "Go, change into the clothes that have not been changed yet."

"Goodbye...Daosheng, your young master is too weak to endure this kind of torture..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Xia Lin spat, "Hurry up, don't waste time. You ate six of those three-ounce meatballs yesterday, and you're still weak. Lie down!"

After saying this, Xia Lin happened to see Chunhua from next door walking past the window and was about to go to the river to wash clothes, so Xia Lin hurriedly called her: "Chunhua, lend me some white rouge powder."

Chunhua turned her head and looked at Xia Lin with disdain: "A few days ago you asked me for a pair of tight pants, saying you wanted to paint on them. When you brought them back, they were crusted over. Do you think I don't know what you two filthy bastards did with them? I won't give them to you, I won't give them to you."

"Sister Chunhua~"

Xia Lin is here, he is only 28 years old, with white teeth and young lips. Although he is not yet dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse, and is not full of ambition, he is also a young man whose smile is as bright as the spring day in March.

Chunhua was a brothel girl who redeemed herself. She became a widow just two years after marrying a man. How could she have seen such a young boy calling her a sweet sister?

"Oh, you enemy, I really can't do anything to you."

Soon Chunhua gave him half a box of leftover rouge, and after a long scolding, he went to wash clothes contentedly. Xia Lin used his beauty and Zhang Zhongchun's paint to smear Zhang Zhongchun, who was also a handsome military man, into a dead look. Then he tied his pants with stinky meat, took the rope and took the stinky Zhang Zhongchun to the home of Zhang Zhongchun's "father-in-law".

Speaking of this father-in-law, he is naturally a man who looks down on people with a dog's eye. When Zhang Zhongchun just passed the imperial examination, he tried to curry favor with him in various ways, calling him a good son-in-law whenever he went out. But later, when Zhang Zhongchun fell into misfortune and lost all his wealth, this "father-in-law" naturally turned against him. During the Chinese New Year last year, Xia Lin followed Zhang Zhongchun to try to borrow some money for the New Year, but he was almost locked up in a dog cage by this evil man.

But unfortunately, this father-in-law is a school official and a key person who issues passes to other people. If they want to leave here and go to Yangzhou, they must pass through them.

When Xia Lin dragged Lao Zhang to the door of his father-in-law's house, the servants naturally began to drive them away, treating them as beggars begging for alms. In addition, Lao Zhang was dirty and smelly, and his face looked like a dead person. If he really died in front of them, it would ruin the good day of the eldest lady's engagement with the Gao family in Luoyang, and no one would be able to bear the blame from the master's family.

"Go away, go away. Don't you see where this is? You guys can't beg for alms. Go away! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The servants came up with sticks, and Xia Lin shouted, "Master, please let my young master live! At the very least, he is your daughter's son-in-law. It is said that one night of love brings a hundred nights of love. He has worked hard for your family over the years. You can't just watch him die here!"

Xia Lin's cry was so loud that curious people passing by gathered around. They took a closer look at the person lying on the door panel and found that it was none other than Zhang Shuo, the talented man who was famous in Luoyang back then.

"What's going on? Are you trying to blackmail me?" "Who dares to blackmail this Chen Tuiguan? You're from another place, so you don't know. The man on this door panel was once a famous talent in Luoyang City. He was an excellent poet and painter. Later, he offended the master in Beijing because of his arrogance. Not only was his reputation stripped, but he was also demoted to a bad person. When he was in his prime, this Chen Tuiguan was eager to send his daughter to him. Later, when he fell into trouble, this Chen Tuiguan... huh."

A light chuckle explained everything. Most of the people around were young scholars, all of whom were more or less arrogant. When they heard that the talented man of the past had fallen into this state, and then heard about his treatment after he fell into poverty, the discussion naturally became louder.

The discussion here soon spread to the backyard. The housekeeper of the Chen Mansion came to the master of the house with an anxious look on his face, and his voice was stuttering: "Master...Master...Zhang Zhongchun is here again."

"Again?" Chen Tuiguan slammed the cup in his hand and said, "Go and tell him that today is Wanqing's engagement day. If he knows what's best for him, it's fine. If he doesn't, don't blame me for turning my back on him."

"No, Master... Zhang Zhongchun is lying on the door panel right now, smelling bad and looking pale, and his little servant is kneeling at the door, crying out for us to spare their lives. Master, today is the day when the eldest daughter is getting engaged, and you said you would invite all the talented people involved in the event to a banquet, but now they are all gathered at the door, which is a big problem."

"Bastard thing!"

Chen Tuiguan slammed the table hard and said, "What tricks is that boy going to play? Go and ask him carefully. If he fails, just give him some money and send him away. If the governor sees us, he won't know what we have done."

"Okay, sir, I'll go and ask."

The butler walked quickly to the front door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xia Lin kneeling there. Behind him was Zhang Zhongchun lying on the door panel with a foul odor. Before he could speak, Xia Lin suddenly rushed forward and hugged the butler's thighs: "Butler Chen! Please give my young master a chance to live! My young master is about to die. I only ask for a pass to let him go to Yangzhou for medical treatment."

The butler pulled his legs hard, but found that the servant was holding him tightly. He couldn't break free after several attempts. He coughed and said, "Your young master is sick. What's the point of you coming to the Chen Mansion to make trouble? Go see a doctor."

"No, my young master went to the mountains to collect herbs for a living a few days ago. He accidentally encountered a competition among the people on the mountain. One was the magic doctor He Taixu from Konggu and the other was the poison saint Dugu Can from the Western Regions. Both of them were masters with a long history. When they fought, the wind and clouds rose and the sky changed color. My young master was helpless and unfortunately injured by the poison from the Western Regions. Later, the magic doctor He Taixu said that he had no way to treat the poison. Only by going to Yangzhou to find the Three Masters of West Lake could my young master be saved. But now my young master and I have no travel permit and no money! Please talk to the old master and ask him to do me a favor. My young master is the son-in-law of the Chen family after all. It will not sound good if this matter gets out."

After hearing all this string of words, the housekeeper's head was buzzing. Not only was this boy talking a lot, but he was also talking very fast. He had never heard of the Poison Saint of Konggu or the Three Masters of West Lake from Yangzhou, but he had heard about the pass and travel expenses.

So he pushed Xia Lin away: "Wait here!"

At this moment, Old Zhang behind him suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes quietly. Xia Lin immediately turned around and bent down, seemingly listening to what the young master was saying.

Lao Zhang said, "You fool, West Lake is in HZ, what does it have to do with Yangzhou?"

"Master, you are just too kind! How could I not know how you have been living these years? A few days ago, you gave the only food in your family to the children of the Ci Guyuan. I saw you stealing swill from Qingchunlou in the middle of the night... The dogs in Qingchunlou are now sworn enemies with you. How can you still be so kind!" Xia Lin wiped away tears when he spoke emotionally: "I came to beg them just because I want you to live. I know you don't blame their family for being snobbish or their eldest daughter for being unkind, but I just want you to live."

This set of moves was smooth and flowing. The three years of cheating and stealing had already brought the two of them to a level of tacit understanding. In addition, Xia Lin's acting skills were excellent. Although what he said was a mess, the swill and dogs in Qingchunlou could not compare to his loyalty and righteousness at this moment.

The young scholars nearby tried to step forward to persuade him, but the stench of corruption they smelled made them back off. At this moment, a young man with a bright face stepped forward. He was dressed in brocade and had a handsome face and a stern expression. He stepped forward, squatted in front of Lao Zhang, and said to Xia Lin, "Is what you just said true?"

"How could it be false? If you don't believe me, I'll take you to my house and see that the swill bucket is still on the stove." Xia Lin's answer was flawless: "Who would eat swill unless they were desperate?"

"I'm not asking you that. I'm asking you whether the matter between Miss Chen and your young master is true or not?"

"You don't know?" Xia Lin pointed at the young people around him and said, "You'll find out if you ask them."

At this moment, the housekeeper rushed out and threw two stamped passes and a small bag of money in front of Xia Lin, saying with disgust and disdain, "Go away, don't delay my family's business!"

Xia Lin responded and quickly picked up the things scattered on the ground and put them in his arms, then he took Lao Zhang and left. What kind of backbone is this? This little bit of backbone is really worthless.

However, the young man who had just spoken to him had a gloomy face. He turned around with his hands behind his back to look at the Chen Mansion, sneered, and turned away from the crowd.
