The news of the assassination of the eunuch Zhang Zhong spread like a whirlwind throughout Nanchang City, and most people celebrated. Eunuch Zhang had been domineering in Nanchang for more than a month, and his retribution had finally come.

However, what is regrettable is that the righteous man did not blow up Eunuch Zhang to death, but seriously injured himself. It is said that he died of his injuries in prison.

However, the blood of this righteous man was not in vain. Eunuch Zhang obviously restrained himself a lot and did not dare to walk around easily anymore. He also stopped arresting Prince Ning for rebelling against the party.

…

The setting sun slanted over the top of the mountain, and twilight fell. A carriage drove toward the south, and a child with yellow hair poked his head out of the car window and looked at the road frequently.

"Uncle Mo, where are we going?" the child timidly asked the man driving the bus.

Wearing a bamboo hat and driving a carriage with a stern expression, Manager Mo was in a very bad mood because today's assassination failed, so he replied coldly: "Lingnan Guangzhou Prefecture!"

He Zhier said weakly: "I don't want to go to Lingnan, I want to go back to Nanchang to find my brother!"

Manager Mo said expressionlessly: "Your brother is dead. You must remember that Zhang Zhong, Xu Tai, and that Xu Jin are all your enemies."

He Zhier's face turned pale and her eyes rolled down!

…

As night fell, Xu Jin was listening to the report from his servant Dabao in the study room of the county government office.

"Master, I have inquired clearly. He Zhimin's sister is called He Zhi'er. Eunuch Zhang sent people to search the whole city but could not find her!"

Xu Jin felt inexplicably relaxed after hearing this. It seemed that He Zhimin had made arrangements before taking action and had already sent his sister away.

…

On June 18, Wang Shouren, the governor of Southern Jiangxi who had gone north to offer prisoners, finally returned to Nanchang City. The gentry and officials who had been tortured by Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong were overjoyed and went out of the city five miles to welcome him.

Wang Shouren's trip north to present prisoners did not go smoothly because the emperor refused to accept the prisoners and sent back Lao Wang's memorials one after another. In desperation, Wang Shouren had no choice but to go to Hangzhou to find the eunuch Zhang Yong, and moved him with Qing Xiao's reason.

Finally, Zhang Yong agreed to come forward to persuade the emperor not to continue going to Jiangxi.

It is said that this Zhang Yong was also one of the favored eunuchs of Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and his status was higher than Zhang Zhong, but Zhang Yong had a much better reputation and was more upright. He and Yang Yiqing jointly got rid of the eunuch Liu Jin who had done many evil things.

Wang Shouren handed over King Ning to Zhang Yong, and wrote a new memorial, explaining that he put down King Ning's rebellion under the emperor's "wise guidance", and also sent Jiang Bin, Zhang Yong, Xu Tai, Zhang

The names of Zhong and others were also written on the credit sheet.

Zhang Yong took Wang Shouren's petition for merit and went to Yangzhou to meet the emperor. This time Emperor Zhengde accepted Wang Shouren's prisoner offer and agreed not to go to Jiangxi, but to hold a prisoner ceremony in Nanjing instead, which was omitted.

A disaster for the people of Jiangxi.

In early July, Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai finally left Nanchang and returned to the north with thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp, loaded with extorted gold and silver treasures and antiques and calligraphy. That day, the sound of firecrackers in Nanchang City was as festive as the Chinese New Year, and they finally

The two plague gods were sent away.

…

Summer has passed and autumn has come, and in a blink of an eye it is the season of sweet-scented osmanthus. The Autumn Examination (provincial examination) in the 14th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty is about to begin. Nanchang City has become lively in vain, and the streets are full of literati who come to take the examination.

, one literary meeting after another, the atmosphere of the provincial examination became more and more intense.

However, this excitement only belongs to others. The unlucky classmate Xu is still hiding at home to recuperate. Whenever the candidates of the same class mention Xu Sanyuan, some people chuckle, some gloat, but more people sigh.

I remember that Xu Jin passed the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination within one year, and won the first prize in all of them. He became the first scholar in Jiangxi to win three consecutive primary, middle, and middle schools since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. His popularity made everyone at the time marvel and admire him.

.

However, Xu Jin's good luck seemed to have run out. On the eve of the provincial examination, his right hand was fractured and he was unable to take the exam. He had to wait another three years for the next provincial examination.

Three years, how many three years are there in life? Isn’t it a pity that such a great time is wasted?

Of course, Xu Jin is only sixteen this year, and will be nineteen in three years, but winning the national examination at this age is really not amazing, unless he wins the first place in the national examination.

…

On the tenth day of August in the 14th year of the Zhengde reign of the Ming Dynasty, the autumn air was crisp and the sky was blue. In a courtyard of several hundred square meters in the east of Nanchang City, the grapes on the grape trellis were already ripe, and the air was filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.

At this time, the stone table under the grape trellis was filled with all kinds of fruits. Xu Jin was lying comfortably on the bamboo rocking chair, and the cool breeze blowing on his face made him feel particularly comfortable.

"Master, do you feel comfortable like this?" The beautiful maid Yue'er asked with a sweet smile while squeezing Xu Jin's thighs.

Xu Jin hummed happily, and a white jade hand stretched out from beside him, twisting a peeled grape on his slender fingers. Xu Jin opened his mouth to eat the grape, and deliberately bit the other person's slender finger.

.

"Ouch!" Fei Ruyi exclaimed softly, with a red face and a white look at the mischievous classmate Xu, whose shy and beautiful appearance made people's hearts tremble.

Fei Jixiang, who was sitting across from the stone table and leisurely reading "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", quickly glanced here, lowered his head and continued reading, his expression obviously unnatural.

Xie Xiaowan, who was doing needlework, raised her pretty face and glared at her husband-in-law, and then made her sweat towel as if nothing had happened.

It is said that since Wang Shouren came back, Xu Jin resigned from his official position as county magistrate and rested his mind to recuperate and study. Since he was no longer a county magistrate, he naturally had to move out of the county government, so Xu Jin bought a house in the east of Nanchang City.

Down.

The medical conditions in ancient times were backward, and fractures could be serious or minor. Xu Jin did not want to leave the root cause of the disease, so he planned to stay in Nanchang for a long time to recuperate until the bones were fully grown before setting off back to Shangrao County, so as not to cause the injury due to the fatigue of traveling and traveling.

Fei Ruyi was worried about Xu Jin's injury and insisted on staying in Nanchang to help take care of Xu Jin. Fei Cai, who came to Nanchang to take his wife back to Qianshan County, had no choice but to agree. After all, it was certain that Ruyi would marry into the Xu family.

Of course, in order to prevent "accidents" from the quarrel among young people, Fei Cai rented a house nearby for Fei Ruyi to live in, and also kept his daughter Fei Jixiang as a "supervisor."

Therefore, in the past two months, Xu Jin had been living a comfortable life under the careful service of the ladies. Not only did he recover from his injuries very well, he even gained a few pounds.

"Zi Qian, you live a carefree life, but my eldest brother and I are very tired!"

The people under the grape trellis looked around and saw Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong walking in from outside the Moon Gate. Both of them looked tired.

Xu Jin smiled and asked: "The people serve the people, how did you do in the first test?"
