Along the way, nothing happened that worried Changle.
It was evening, and Qin Wenyuan and the others finally arrived in Kailin County.
The sponsor responsible for placing the order was named Li Sheng, a well-known wealthy businessman nearby.
A group of them came to Li's house after a long journey, and saw that Li Sheng had already called a dozen servants to wait there.
As soon as he saw Qin Wenyuan arriving, Li Sheng stepped forward with a smile and said: "Oh, boss Qin, you have finally arrived. You have worked hard along the way."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and held up his hands, "It's not a blessing, but it's thanks to Boss Li that I can take my tea shop business to a higher level in the long run and not end up in vain."
Hearing this, Li Sheng rolled his eyes and said, "Boss Qin, you are so humble. As long as you are doing business around Chang'an, who doesn't know the name of your tea shop?"
"With my own efforts, I have blazed a trail of my own for the decadent tea ceremony, and even brought tea, which was originally ignored, into everyone's sight again."
"This ability will not let you have nothing."
"After all, even the tea I use at home, Li Zhai, far outside Chang'an City, is yours."
"Liao Zan, Liao Zan." Qin Wenyuan still smiled and held his hands.
The two of them had an argument again, and Li Sheng began to invite Qin Wenyuan and others to stay and rest.
Because it was indeed too late, Qin Wenyuan did not refuse and directly agreed.
Immediately, a group of people entered the mansion, and Qin Wenyuan saw an unexpected person.
"Examiner Liu Wen?"
The man was also shocked. When he turned around, he saw that it was Qin Wenyuan who had refreshed his outlook on life three days ago.
"Qin... Mr. Qin, why are you here?" Liu Wen said stiffly.
He probably felt a little restrained when facing a great talent that even Wei Zheng had to treat with caution.
"Husband, do you know him?" Changle raised his eyebrows.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, madam, this is Liu Wen, the examiner from my place during the imperial examination."
"Examiner Liu Wen, this is my wife, Li Changle."
"Examiner Liu Wen, my husband has been under your care a few days ago." Chang Le said as a courtesy.
Liu Wen glanced at Chang Le and was immediately frightened by Chang Le's good temperament.
This made him feel that Qin Wenyuan was not an ordinary person.
He took a deep breath and said with a shy face: "Mrs. Qin is good, there is nothing to take care of. Mr. Qin has great talents, and it is not my turn to take care of him."
These words...
Thinking of my husband leaving the examination room for a long time...
Chang Le heard it a bit harsh, and he didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogation.
But Qin Wenyuan asked at this time: "Examiner Liu Wen, why are you here?"
"I remember correctly. The imperial examination ended today. Why did you come to Kailin County?"
After all, Qin Wenyuan was a great talent in governing the country that both Wei Zheng and Wei Zheng valued. Liu Wen did not dare to hide it and replied truthfully: "Master Qin, you don't know something about this."
"Every year in the imperial examination, about ten people are admitted to the imperial examination. This is obvious."
"But secretly, we will also contact some great talents who are only half a point short of Jinshi and come to ask them if they are willing to join the court as officials."
"Otherwise, only a dozen Jinshi will be admitted every year and other talents will be ignored. The number of talents will be far from enough for the construction of Datang today."
The voice fell.
Qin Wenyuan understood.
According to what Liu Wen said, there is another great talent in the family of his financial backer Li Sheng?
Just as Qin Wenyuan was thinking about it, the next moment he saw a handsome man approaching, "Mr. Liu, my father and I have just discussed that we are willing to become the master of the current county magistrate Wei Liang in Kailin County."
"Your words can give Sir Wei Liang some accurate advice. As long as the imperial court issues an order, I can give him some advice."
As he finished speaking, he saw Qin Wenyuan and his wife, and was slightly surprised by the appearance of both men and women.
"Master Liu, these two are..."
"Master Li, we are from Changyuan Tea Shop, and we are here to escort the tea leaves." Qin Wenyuan said with a smile.
Although the young man in front of him did not disclose his family background, his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Li Sheng's. Coupled with the title of "father" just now, Qin Wenyuan also understood the other person's identity.
It must be Li Sheng’s son!
The young man frowned slightly, and after thinking that there was indeed a big deal today, he replied: "Hello, you two, I am Li Liu, the only son of my father Li Sheng."
After the two parties reported their families to each other, Liu Wen was surprised and said: "Master Qin, I never thought that you... you are actually a famous merchant."
Mr. Qin, you...
Now, Li Liu was even more curious about Qin Wenyuan.
What kind of person is worthy of such respect from officials of the past to Qin Wenyuan?
A mere merchant cannot do this.
At this moment, just as Qin Wenyuan was about to answer, there were hurried footsteps outside.
"Master, Master, something bad is going to happen!!"
The person who ran in was a servant of Li's house. As soon as he ran in, he squatted down, held his knees with both hands, and kept breathing.
"What happened?" Li Liu asked.
The servant quickly gasped and replied: "Young... Young Master, a murder occurred over at Tianliang Lake!"
"Homicide?" Li Liu raised his eyebrows.
Suddenly he was curious: "What on earth is going on?"
The servant said: "Over at Tianliang Lake, it is said that two people have made an appointment to come to the river to fish."
"But one person caught more fish, and the other person didn't catch anything. That person also said a few sarcastic words, which made the other person angry."
"Then the man got angry and found a stone from the ground. He wanted to take advantage of a lot of fishermen to go fishing from behind and kill him."
"And it happened that the fisherman spotted the man's shadow on the water and saw the man coming with a big stone. Knowing that the man was going to kill him, he quickly turned around and grabbed the stone."
"Then, during the struggle between the two, he grabbed the stone and hit the man on the head. Who knew... one stone fell and knocked the man to death."
"So now the magistrate of our county, Wei Liang, is deciding the case. Because the deceased was the one who attempted to kill first, and the person who accidentally killed was just in self-defense, so he is ready to decide the case and acquit the murderer."
"But this is just his preliminary judgment. He asked the villain to come back first and inform you to go over and discuss it."
"After all, Master Wei Liang said that you are the smartest in the county, and you will be his master in the future."
Hearing this, Li Liu raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Putting aside the murder case, he was already very happy just to be given such a great honor by the county magistrate Wei Liang.
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
Li Liu was about to leave, but then he thought of something and turned around and said, "Master Liu, please come first."
