Xianyang has become increasingly prosperous recently.
Scholars wearing high crowns can be seen from time to time in the streets and alleys, and some restaurants and shops are rarely full of residents. The city is a bustling scene.
It's almost time.
The lights in Shang Shangfang are brightly lit. In a simple guest house, Toneri with white temples is busy in the store. Although he is very busy, the smile on the corner of Toneri's mouth cannot be concealed.
live.
Nothing else.
Business at his guest house was very good during this period.
The xiang that was originally empty for storing money was now more than half full, which was already equivalent to his income in the past few months.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was another knock on the door.
Toneri didn't find it strange at all, but quickly walked a few steps to open the door.
"Thank you, husband!"
The visitors came in carrying several large bundles and looking tired. The two visitors were wearing brown clothes soaked with sweat and panting slightly. It was obvious that they were exhausted from the walk.
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his face and bowed to the host: "My father-in-law, it's getting late. The two of us have been searching in the city for a long time, but we couldn't find a suitable guest house. I wonder if there are any rooms available in my husband's guest house."
Guesthouse?”
Upon hearing that the visitor wanted to stay at the hotel, Toneri nodded slightly.
He said in a deep voice:
"How many guest rooms are left?"
"But, do you two have a pass test?"
The middle-aged man nodded, carefully took out the 'pass' made of poplar wood and the 'pass' made of willow strips, and waited for the man next to him to pass the passes to them before passing them over together.
Shiren took the test, looked at it carefully, and asked: "Xiao He? Bo Qin? Are you also here to participate in the grand gathering of scholars two days later?"
Xiao He bowed and said: "Exactly."
Shiren's eyes wandered back and forth on the faces of Xiao He and Bo Qin, and he said in a deep voice: "You are the chief official of Pei County, so you should know some things, but I have to ask you a few questions according to the rules."
"It should be so." Xiao He said.
immediately.
Shiren began to cross-examine the two people carefully.
Xiao He and Bo Qin were prepared and answered one by one. After the questioning was completed and the verification was correct, Shiren returned the two people's verification and said, "Come in with me."
Xiao He and Fu Su quickly thanked them, and then carried their bags into the house.
The guest house is not big.
It is a courtyard with three entrances.
The two of them followed Shiren all the way, and finally came to a guest room built against the east wall. Before entering the door, Shiren said calmly: "I know you scholars can't listen to a vulgar person like me.
But there are some things I must say first."
"Since you have come to Xianyang, you must abide by the rules of Xianyang."
"No trouble, no trouble!"
"If you cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless and driving you two out."
Xiao He said quickly: "Don't worry, old man, the two of us are here to participate in the grand gathering, not to make grudges with others, and we will never cause trouble in the city."
Shiren nodded.
He pushed open the closed door and said, "This guest house is the best one in my guest house, and I will give it to you now."
Finished.
The person left immediately.
Looking at Shiren's retreating figure, a strange color appeared in Xiao He's eyes.
The person in front of him looked arrogant and domineering. He thought that the person was dissatisfied with them, but he never thought that the person actually gave him the best guest room in the guest house, which made him feel slightly moved.
Fusu smiled and said:
"Old Qin people do meritorious deeds."
"Although I say I despise scholars, I actually always respect them in my heart."
The two took their luggage into the guest room.
After putting the things away, Fusu slumped down on the ground, breathing heavily. They had been on the road for the past few days. After arriving in Xianyang, in order to find a place to stay, they kept walking through the streets carrying large and small bags.
He was also very tired.
See the situation.
Xiao He shook his head slightly.
He originally thought that Fusu would go back to the palace directly after arriving in Xianyang, or stay overnight at other courtiers' homes. However, Fusu was stubborn and did not want to expose the fact that he had stolen back to Xianyang. He kept carrying the package and followed him to find a guest house.
.
The two took a short rest, got up and went to the lobby.
There were six or seven people in the lobby, sitting casually, chatting. The autumn harvest had just passed, and what these people talked about the most was the harvest. Xiao He and Fusu sat quietly aside, quietly
Listening quietly, occasionally taking a sip of the hot soup sent by Shiren.
Chatting and chatting.
A few people chatted about the interesting things that happened in the city recently.
"Did you hear that the Mo family had a quarrel yesterday? Qi Mo and Chu Mo were so quarreling that they were about to start a fight. These scholars seemed to be very polite. When they cursed, they were very powerful. They dared to say anything harmful to others.
, the key is that it still sounds like that.”
Someone said:
"what is this?"
"Yang Zhu's faction had a fierce quarrel with the Mo family a few days ago."
"Yang Zhu's school has always emphasized that 'Plucking out a hair will benefit the world, do nothing for it; take a hair and harm the world, and do it for nothing.' And the Mohists say 'Pluck your top and put your heels aside, and do it for the benefit of the world'. Both sides
They started fighting over each other and started fighting."
"The scene is truly spectacular."
"There are also Confucians and Taoists, famous people and politicians, and other messes. After these people came to Xianyang, they had a small quarrel every day, and a big quarrel every few days. The quarrel was so fierce that if the government had not banned private fights, they would not be safe.
We have to fight every day.”
"..."
Several people were talking nonsense.
Chatting and chatting.
Some people couldn't help but worry: "You said, these scholars are so talkative, can Dr. Qin really suppress these people?"
"Then Dr. Qin is not yet twenty years old."
One person snorted coldly: "You guys underestimate Dr. Qin too much. He is a real ruthless person. From what I heard from my friend, Dr. Qin, the consul, was not even from Qin a year ago.
But a dead man."
"Think about it."
"A deceased person became a doctor of Da Qin in less than a year. How can ordinary people not do this? You must have heard a lot of Dr. Qin's deeds. What strange tricks were used to solve the case, save Wu Chenghou, and give Tong Wuhou
To extend his life, and to destroy Huang Jingxiu’s entire family, he went to Lishan Mountain alone and killed hundreds of rebels.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Can ordinary people do this?"
Someone retorted: "Dr. Qin is brave because of his bravery, but this is a gathering of scholars, and those scholars will not fight him. How can he beat people directly? Defeat these scholars?"
The man said disdainfully:
"No matter how powerful a scholar's mouth is, can it be as powerful as a sword?"
"Dr. Qin has fought his way through mountains of swords and seas of blood, yet he is still afraid of the quarrels of some scholars?"
"and......"
"I also heard a rumor."
"This gathering of scholars was presented to His Majesty by Dr. Qin."
"What a shrewd person Dr. Qin is? Could he let himself fall into trouble?"
"That's impossible!"
"You see, Dr. Qin has not shown up recently. He must have arranged everything a long time ago and is just waiting for the grand event to begin. Then the scholars in the world will see how majestic I, Da Qin, am."
"More than these."
"I heard about it from a friend in the government."
"This Dr. Qin actually has a certain relationship with His Majesty, and may even be His Majesty's illegitimate son..."
Before he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by Shiren:
"Shut up!"
"Stop talking nonsense here, are you still here slandering His Majesty and the government? Do you really think you are an old man and don't dare to sue the government?"
"I still don't know what's going on with you?"
"What kind of government friends are you talking about here? You know a local stingy man all the time. You also said that the destruction of Huang Jingxiu's family and the Lishan riot were investigated by the government. How much does it have to do with Dr. Qin?"
"If you continue to confuse right and wrong and confuse right and wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The man said sarcastically: "I didn't say it was all Dr. Qin's fault, and I wasn't wrong either. Dr. Qin was indeed a deceased person before, then became a Shizi, then became a doctor, and then was sentenced to prison for killing Huang Jingxiu's son.
, and then to Dr. Guan Fu.”
"I......"
The man wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Toneri's warning look, he immediately shut up.
See the situation.
Only then did Shiren slowly leave.
Xiao He drank the hot soup and had no idea about this.
He doesn't know what Dr. Qin is.
Fusu sat on the table with a trace of doubt in his eyes. He had been listening attentively, but the more he listened, the more he felt that this person was talking about Qin Luoheng.
He stood up and said, "I dare to ask you, strong man, who is Dr. Qin you mentioned earlier?"
The man was stunned, looked at Fusu suspiciously, seemed a little surprised, and said, "You don't know Dr. Qin?"
Fusu shook his head and said, "We are from Chu."
"No wonder." The strong man murmured, and then glanced at Sheren. Seeing Sheren's eyes staring at him with warning, his expression froze, and he could only say: "You are from Chu. Naturally, you have never heard of Dr. Qin. In front of me,
Although there are some exaggerations, most of what is said is true.”
"Dr. Qin's name is Qin Luoheng."
"Although Dr. Qin is a doctor of medicine, what he does is by no means limited to being a doctor. He..."
Ahem!
Shiren coughed a few times.
The strong man paused in his words, glared at Shiren, and sat down dissatisfied.
Fusu glanced at Sheren, then saluted the warrior and said, "The warrior said just now that Dr. Qin will be the consul for this gathering of scholars? Is this true?"
"This is true." The voice of Shiren came, saying: "Three months ago, the order was posted. This grand event is entirely decided by Dr. Qin.
Wait until there are personnel involved in the government agencies."
"If you have any doubts, you can go to Jique in the city. There are relevant documents posted there."
"You will know when you go and take a look."
"Don't take these boys' nonsense to heart. Their words should not count."
"Thank you for clarifying my doubts." Fusu bowed and slowly sat down, his eyes looking a little uncertain.
Xiao He looked at Fusu with slightly strange eyes.
He could feel that the eldest son knew this Qin Luoheng and had a close relationship with him, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression.
but.
He will not interfere with the eldest son's affairs.
I don't want to get involved either.
The guest house gradually became quiet.
Not long after.
There was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the door.
Someone shouted outside: "Ji Que has posted a new notice. One hundred celebrities from hundreds of families will be selected to sit down on the day of the grand event. The rest of the scholars can only stand..."
