"A summons from the government office?" After hearing Shan Yangong's words, Wei Tu panicked.
With his current status and strength, he is not afraid of the Li family or the Huang family, but he is definitely not to the extent that he dares to go against the government.
But after the panic,
Wei Tu calmed down again.
If the government office really wanted to capture him, then it would not have sent officials to notify Shan Yangong in such a graceful manner and allowed Shan Yanggong time to rush to the other courtyard. Instead, he would have directly sent officers and soldiers to surround Shan's house.
In addition, although imperial examination fraud occurs frequently nowadays, it has been rare to see a single case of imperial examination fraud on the table in decades.
It can be seen from this.
The government office may not be here to arrest him, but has something important to do with him...
"What's the important matter?" Wei Tu frowned slightly. The only thing he could have any connection with the government office was the martial arts examinations of the government examination and the Taoist examination. The rest, as a commoner, was difficult for him to get involved in.
"Brother Yangong, don't worry, nothing big will happen this time..." Wei Tu squeezed Shan Yangong's trembling hands tightly, trying to calm him down.
——Many "prisoners" are exposed because they feel uneasy, rather than because others see it.
After a few breaths.
Shan Yangong was in pain, and his face returned to normal. He nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked Wei Tu to rush to the living room to meet the clerk who came from the government office.
After all, he is also a scholar, a person who has seen the big world. After calming down, he figured out the twists and turns here.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Wei Tu came to the back house of the government office.
After he saw a dozen martial arts masters of the same age as him standing in the living room, he felt relieved and nervous.
He began to guess what Magistrate Chen was selling, and asked them, the "Wu Xiucai" of Jinke, to come to the government office the night before the results were released.
"Wei Tu, do you know why Magistrate He called us here?"
After waiting for a moment, Wei Tu felt his elbow being touched. He turned his head and looked to the left, and frowned when he saw it was a martial artist named "Wei Fei" from the same county.
"have no idea."
Wei Tu replied simply.
——After entering the government office, he adhered to three principles: listen more, watch less, and talk less.
Wei Fei saw that Wei Tu was taciturn and lost interest in asking questions. He followed Wei Tu's example and stood in the corner of the living room, waiting for the person in charge to arrive.
Lean less.
As the noise in the living room gradually died down.
Wei Tu raised his eyes and looked at Magistrate He who was sitting in the main seat of the living room, wearing a scholar's uniform.
"This time, I have invited all the talented people to gather in the government office. I have something I want to discuss with all the talented people..." Governor He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.
After saying this, he winked and motioned to the servants around him to fetch stools and chairs for the many martial artists standing in the hall.
The martial artists immediately sat down.
"A few days ago, Mr. Futai gave a lecture and said that a sect named Wu Yunlou has appeared in our Shannan Dao..."
"Wu Yunlou likes to accept Wu Xiucai who participates in the Taoist examination every year as his disciples. This move... is to destroy the foundation of the imperial court and subvert the country..."
Zhifu He said slowly.
Listen to this.
Wei Tu raised his eyebrows quietly, thinking secretly about the reason why Magistrate He mentioned "Wu Yun Tower" to them, "Wu Xiucai".
This was the first time he heard that Zheng Guo had a major martial arts sect that spanned the entire country.
When he was in Qingshan County, he had seen some martial arts schools and martial arts sects, but these martial arts schools and martial arts sects were not very popular, and they only taught fancy fists and kicks.
At least, in the county martial arts examination, he had not seen many disciples from martial arts schools and martial arts sects who could survive to participate in the government examination.
now.
The "Martial Arts Tower" mentioned by Governor He has recruited martial arts scholars from all walks of life as its disciples. In other words, the strength of the top masters in this "Martial Arts Tower" cannot be underestimated.
Wu Xiucai seems to be the lowest rank in martial arts, but any Wu Xiucai is a well-known martial artist in the local counties.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one is the best of a hundred.
"Could it be that... there are inner Qi realm martial artists in the Martial Arts Building? Or even innate martial arts masters of higher realms?"
Wei Tu thought to himself.
After a short pause, Governor He said again: "I chose you to come to the government office. I think with your intelligence, you can guess why I want to find you..."
"I have discussed this matter with Lord Futai. If you are willing to join Wuyun Tower and become undercover agents, after the Wuyun Tower is eradicated, the meritorious ones will be rewarded as appropriate, and the useless ones will be promoted to three levels in a row and given a hundred
Acres of fertile land!”
"Furthermore, Lord Futai is also willing to produce a book of inner strength and mental methods as a reward to you all."
Official position!
Internal strength and mental skills!
One hundred acres of fertile land!
These three huge temptations were placed nakedly in front of Wei Tu and a group of martial artists.
Everyone was very excited when they heard this.
Including satellite images.
"There are so many rewards from the government, which also means that the task of going undercover in Wuyun Building will not be easy, and it may be life-threatening..."
But soon, Wei Tu thought of this again.
Unlike other martial arts masters who came from a wealthy family, he still had a family and needed to serve as an official to make money and redeem Xinghua.
Can't afford the risk!
Outside.
These three benefits may seem very tempting, but for Wei Tu, they are not worth it.
Official position and money...
Wei Tu is confident that he will win the martial arts title in the next township martial arts examination.
After he becomes a martial arts practitioner, these benefits will naturally follow.
And the inner strength and mental method...
Although Wei Tu is quite greedy, the way to obtain inner strength and mental skills is by no means limited to going to Wuyun Building to join the undercover team.
Governor Wang can use the inner strength and mental skills as rewards - that is to say, after he is appointed as a military attache, he may have another opportunity in the future to obtain this inner strength and mental skills from the government.
In addition, Wei Tu thought of his master, the Golden Sword Man, who failed to break through the innate realm and extend his life. Maybe his master, Shan Wuju, had the corresponding internal skills and mental methods, so there was no need for him to take risks at this time.
"Prefect He, I wonder if we can refuse this matter?" Soon, a martial artist who had the same idea as Wei Tu stood up.
Not everyone lacks official position, money, and internal skills and mental skills.
Even if it is missing.
Nor would he risk his life by working as an undercover agent in Wuyun Building.
"Of course." Zhifu He put down the tea cup in his hand and nodded, his expression unchanged.
Although Wu Xiucai was inferior to him as the prefect in terms of status, after gaining fame, his status was different from that of the common people.
You can meet the official without paying homage.
He can't control it at will.
To punish a Wu scholar, there must be a reasonable charge, and the official document must be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment of the imperial court for a decision.
The voice fell.
All the martial arts masters seemed to be interested in making a move, and they also wanted to refuse outright like the martial master just now.
"If you go to Wuyun Tower, in addition to these rewards, I... am also willing to reward you with a hundred gold coins so that my legitimate daughter can get married!"
Seeing this, Zhifu He finally couldn't sit still, he gritted his teeth and said.
Governor Wang put pressure on him. If he failed to do this, he might lose his official position.
And marrying a daughter to Wu Xiucai is not considered a humiliation.
