After Wu Zheng woke up, he didn't care about anything else and hurried out of Anhe Academy and hurried to the south of the city with Shutong. On the way, he anxiously asked Shutong about the specific situation several times.

Soon, Wu Zheng came to a large outdoor with a high-gate and plaque with the words "Lu Mansion".

This Lu family is a wealthy family in the prefecture. One of the ancestors once held high positions. Although they declined later, they were still strong.

In the early years, the old lady of the Wu family operated and eventually let her daughter marry into the Lu Mansion as a concubine, which was considered a high point for the Wu family.

Although his daughter was a concubine, she was quite favored, so the two families occasionally had contacts. Wu was studying in the prefecture of the prefecture, so he often received additional care from the Lu prefecture.

Therefore, when something happened at home, Wu Zheng came to the girl for help in a hurry.

He informed the concierge and waited anxiously for a while before he was allowed to enter. He followed the servants into the yard and came to a mansion and saw his own girl.

As soon as they met, Wu Zheng seemed to have found his backbone, and trembled and told him about the changes at home, and asked anxiously:

"Girl, when this happens to such an accident at home, my father and two younger brothers died in a bad life. My family property was plundered by the village man and the villager dispersed. What should I do for my brother?"

The girl from Wu was also panicked. Because she was a concubine and couldn't take the master, she hurriedly said, "Brother, don't be anxious, let me report to the master."

After saying that, she got up and went to inform her of her mistress, and then went to find Lu'ancheng, the master of the Lu family, and explained the matter in detail.

After a while, Lu'ancheng invited Wu Zheng to the main hall for a lecture.

Wu Zheng came here with his servants and saw Mr. Lu, the mistress of the Lu family and his sister were already in the main hall.

He hurried forward to pay homage, said a lot of good words to greet and greet, and then he sat down on the edge of the chair.

Lu'ancheng had a solemn and old-fashioned look, and the servants gave tea and said slowly: "I already know the matter. Old Mrs. Wu is my old friend. I feel very sad when I heard that he was in trouble. You and my family have always had contacts. I will definitely help you and help you regain your family business."

Wu Zheng was overjoyed and bowed his hands repeatedly, and a series of unremarkable words of gratitude popped up in his mouth. He was a scholar with ink.

Lu'ancheng scraped the tea foam with a cup lid and pondered:

"There are many rumors, so I will send some shopkeepers to Wujiazhuang with you and find out first. If the strong man has not left, don't act rashly. If the strong man has left, you can see who has occupied the property and whether your home deed and the loan notes are still there. If the land deed and the loan notes are still there, then it will be easy to deal with. Go to the county government and ask the government to uphold justice."

Wu Zheng nodded quickly and quickly remembered it.

Under the training of his old lady, he has been studying since childhood. In order to get a good exam, he has not taken charge of the family business. Therefore, he was in a panic and did not know what to do. Now that Mr. Lu has given advice, he has gained some insights.

"What if the land deed is gone?" Wu Zheng asked hurriedly.

Lu Ancheng took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and said slowly:

"That's not difficult. Just find the government to endorse the letter. Your Wu family has never lost the filial piety of the magistrate in the past. He knew that the land property of your Wujiazhuang was around. You just need to take some money to respect the magistrate and handle some things, and the matter will be mostly done. If it doesn't work, you will come back to tell me that I have always had a friendship with the magistrate. If you say a few words for you, the property will be legitimately returned to your Wu family... So what if there is no land deed? Since it is yours, those unsavvy people gather to make trouble and think they can't take it away!"

Wu Zheng was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and gave a big gift, saying gratefully: "I am grateful to Mr. Lu for help! If the old lady needs her in the future, I am willing to serve her and die! "

Lu'ancheng received a tribute, paused, and said slowly: "You're so serious, let's sit down. Although this matter is not difficult, I have a few good words, but I want to persuade Mr. Wu."

Wu Zheng immediately straightened his back and said seriously: "Please speak with Mr. Lu."

Lu Ancheng stroked his beard, and then changed his mind. He suddenly spoke with sincerity:

"Young Master, you are the one who wants to get a good fortune. As long as you have high school, why worry about not returning your family business? Even if you take back your family business, you have to take charge of it yourself. What energy does it have to study? Distracted by this matter, but you are losing your money. It is better to make a contract with me after you take back your land and rent it all over the land and rent it to me. I will have someone to take care of you and give you some money every year. When you get a good fortune in the future, it will not be too late for you to take over again when you have free time."

Wu Zheng was stunned, looked at Lu'an City deeply, and stood up without hesitation and bowed:

"This is the best of both worlds. Mr. Lu is kind and righteous! When I take back the property at home, I will bother Mr. Lao Lu to take care of it."

Lu Ancheng smiled and stepped forward to help Wu Zheng up, smiling and said, "Da Lang, don't be polite. You and my family are very close. I will not stand idly by this little busy. I hope Da Lang will study the scriptures hard in order to study high school tomorrow!"

After the negotiations, the two of them talked some gossip with each other. Lu'ancheng seemed to be kind to his elders and said something urged.

After chatting for a while, the Lu Mansion held a banquet to entertain Wu Zheng, and the guests and hosts all had fun.

After the banquet, Wu Zheng said he would still say leave to the academy, so he bid farewell to Mr. Lu.

After walking out of the gate of Lu Mansion, Wu Zheng was blew by the cold wind on the street. He woke up a lot of wine and couldn't help but feel sad.

How could he not know Mr. Lu’s plan. Before he passed the exam, the land was owned by the Lu family. He just needed to give him some money every year and sent him away.

If you pass the exam, then the rented land will naturally return it to him and make a good relationship.

If you fail to get a fame and fortune in your life, your family business will probably be named Lu in the future...

Wu Zheng felt that he had no choice, so he lamented twice in his heart, stuttered his eyes with his sleeve, and then he left Lu Mansion with his book boy.

...

On the other hand, because Fang Zhen was walking with him on the "Crossing Mountain Tai Sui", Zhou Jing and his party had another one more person.

When we met Fang Zhen by chance, everyone had a drink and delayed it for some time. After lunch, everyone was unable to arrive at Anlin Mansion before sunset. They had to find an inn outside the city and stay overnight before entering the city.

Many passers-by who missed the time to enter the city also settled in the inn. There were so many people and eyes that everyone had a meal and went back to their room to rest.

The next morning, the city gate opened, Li Chun came out to handle the matter, took the Lu Xun Book, and honored some money, so he took everyone into the city.

On the way, Li Chun had already explained to Zhou Jing that it would be better to go to the county town and the village. If you want to enter the capital city, you need "identity certificate" and "travel certificate", which is generally called "road verification certificate".

In the early days of the Great Xia Dynasty, the investigation was relatively strict, but after more than a hundred years of corruption, it is now extremely relaxed.

As the saying goes, there are countermeasures. Forging road tests and book verification is a common black market business. Good skills are almost fake and real. Even if the skills are poor, there are many people entering the city every day. If the soldiers guarding the gate inspection are not concerned, they will have the chance to get through.

Nowadays, the world is full of corrupt officials everywhere. If they can make money, they don’t even need to forge it. Some local officials are too lazy to test it. After giving enough money, they write it as needed and sell official road test books in private.

In addition, the job of checking the gate of this mansion is also a fat man, and not everyone is qualified to be a good person.

Small power can make money. As long as you are given enough filial piety, the gatekeeper will turn a blind eye when checking. If you encounter greedy people, even if you have qualified road tests and unfilial money, others can cause trouble for you.

At the end of the day, the gatekeepers can collect a lot of extra money just by themselves.

Of course, this money cannot be taken away by itself. We must also respect the superior officers stationed in the city defense and manage the matter everywhere.

The sergeant guarding the gate not only makes money for himself, but also makes money for his superiors. Those who do not have this ability are not qualified to be sent to do this job by the superior officer.

Normal businessmen naturally hate this rule and dare not speak out, but it is convenient for people in Green Forest and Jianghu to act.

After entering the city, everyone found an inn to settle down.

Because of his tough figure and a little conspicuous, Zhou Jing changed into a coarse linen. Although it still looks big, it is at least not that scary.

Li Chun took the Lu brother and sister to talk to the middlemen about some military weapons, but Zhou Jing was not convenient for him to follow him.

He was not idle either, so he practiced a basic training method in the room. Later, after receiving the invitation from Fang Zhenxiang, the two went to wander the street, while Zhang San and five other people followed him waiting in the inn.

The two left the inn, walked on the street, looking left and right.

Although this Anlin Mansion cannot be compared with the main world, it is already prosperous by the ancient urban standards of the feudal period and the city is rich, so Zhou Jing is also looking at it fresh.

"Is this the first time I have come to Anlin Mansion?" Fang Zhen asked with a smile.

"It's really the first time."

Zhou Jing responded casually, but in fact he knew nothing, but there was no need to say it.

Although the map information given by the main world has been outdated for hundreds of years and things have changed, the basic layout of some cities will not be easily changed.

When he was designating the placement area, Zhou Jing had seen the general layout of the surrounding prefectures, and Anlin Prefecture was also included. Although he didn't know the more detailed layout, he at least knew which direction the city gate was opened.

"This Anlin Mansion is Jingzhou Prefecture. Merchants and heroes come and go. It is one of the most prosperous cities in the Luhe area. The aquatic products here are the most delicious. Why don't I try it?"

Fang Zhen invited each other warmly.

Zhou Jing looked at the sky and shook his head and said, "It's still early, let's talk about it for lunch. It just so happened to call the other brothers together."

"Okay." Fang Zhen nodded.

After walking for a while, a noise suddenly came from nearby.

The two walked along the sound and found a small river. There was a stone bridge on the river. At this time, two groups of people were confronting each other, and many people were watching the fun around them.

"The Mai Gang and the Hutou Gang are in a match, and there is a good show now."

"Hey, the left and right are just dogs biting, so it's better to fight and both lose money."

"I guess ten people will fall into the water today and bet on three copper coins."

"Followed."

The civilians who were watching the show whispered and talked a lot, but they were not afraid.

Hearing the crowd talking, Zhou Jing carefully looked at the two groups of people on the bridge.

There were about a dozen people on each side of the bridge, bare hands and fists, shouting at each other, talking dirty words and greeting each other's relatives every word.

Fang Zhen asked the people next to him, and knew the situation and laughed happily:

"It turned out that there were two gangs of rascals on the street. They made an appointment on the bridge every now and then threw each other into the river. The people here were used to it."

"Don't you care?" Zhou Jing asked casually.

"These rascals are idle. Even if they are caught in prison, they will be released after being locked up for a few days. There is no oil or water to squeeze out. As long as there is no life, no harm to the people, the officials are too lazy to pay attention to it, and they can still watch the fun."

Fang Zhen shook his head. He was no longer surprised that there were such ruffians in all cities.

They were chatting here, and the two groups of people on the bridge finally cursed each other and started pushing each other.

"Dog thing, come to your mother!"

"What a courageous man, look at me tearing your mouth!"

The two gangs of thugs on the bridge quickly fought and squeezed into a pile, blocking the road. From time to time, thugs were squeezed off the bridge and fell into the river.

Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen were in the crowd, happily watching the fun with the people.
