Following the waiter's words, the three of them, Wei and Tu, came out of the government office, and their hanging hearts finally fell back into their stomachs.
With the title of Wu Xiucai, they have "military status" and no longer "civilian status". It is no longer easy for the prefect to deal with them.
"From now on, the sky is high for birds to fly, and the sea is wide for fish to jump. After surviving the year of Governor He, the four of us have a bright future."
As the eldest brother, Kou Liang, after Fu Zhizhou stuffed his wedding money and sent away the shopkeeper and waiter of Xuanhe Building, he patted Wei Tu and the others on the shoulders to encourage them.
All good things come to an end.
Near noon, the four of them left Xuanhe Building, said goodbye to each other, and exchanged their respective contact addresses.
Waiting to see you someday.
After the Taoist examination, Wu Xiucai who has gained a reputation can go to the local area to report and be conferred an official position by the local county government.
The four of them will not stay in the city of Qingfeng Mansion for a long time.
However, because Wei Tu and Wei Fei were not only from the same mansion but also from the same county, they agreed to go together when they left.
"Third brother, are all the things you said when you were in the government office true?" Wei Fei clicked his tongue and said, "Are you serious that you were just a horse herder?"
If Wei Tu had a humble background, then the speculation that he took the martial arts test in the county would be false. Wei Tu did not cheat in the "competition", it was just a coincidence that he did not encounter a difficult opponent.
Later, Wei Tu's results in the government and Taoist examinations undoubtedly proved this point.
"Indeed."
Wei Tu nodded.
Wei Fei on the side heard this and wanted to continue to delve into how Wei Tu achieved such success in practicing martial arts in this capacity, but when he saw Wei Tu's unwillingness to say more, he shut up angrily.
"My third brother is from the same county as me. If you ask around, you will know that he is not an unknown person."
Wei Fei thought.
…
When approaching the single house in Fucheng, Wei Tu and Wei Fei parted ways, and they agreed to leave Fucheng together in three days and return to Qingshan County.
"Brother Wei, the Gongyuan Academy has sent someone to our house to congratulate you. You ranked twelfth in the high school Taoist examination and are a second-class martial arts scholar."
As soon as Wei Tu met Shan Yangong, Shan Yangong told Wei Tu about this matter with excitement on his face.
"That's a second-class martial arts scholar!"
Shan Yangong clicked his tongue and sighed.
Among literary and literary scholars, there are also Wu scholars who are divided into first-class junior students, second-class junior students, and third-class junior students, with different treatment.
He had been studying for many years, and just like Wei Tu, he became a second-class junior high school student.
But now, Wei Tu has only been practicing martial arts for three years and has achieved his current achievements, which makes him extremely emotional.
"Thank you so much for the congratulations to Brother Yan Gong." After hearing Shan Yan Gong's words, Wei Tu also showed a smile on his face, bowed his hands and said.
There are three great joys in life.
After a long drought comes rain, the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and the time when the gold medals are named.
Obtaining the title of Wu Xiucai is precisely the last joy of being named on the gold list.
Then, Shan Yangong led Wei Tu into the living room, and the two of them chatted for a while.
At this time, Shan Yangong also asked about the summons from the government office last night.
He groaned and said: "I heard from Zhang Li that you were not the only martial artist summoned by the government office this time. When you left the government office afterwards, you also left with several martial arts masters. That martial artist's name was... Fu Zhizhou?"
Zhang Li is the boy from a single house who was waiting for Wei Tu at the gate of the government office last night.
"This matter..."
After saying these two words, Wei Tu was silent for a while, and then shook his head at Shan Yangong.
He signaled that he couldn't say anything.
The matter of Wuyun Tower is of great importance and is a government secret, and it may also involve innate martial arts masters.
The legendary innate martial arts master not only has a lifespan of up to two hundred years, but also has various mysterious methods, such as knowing the spiritual secrets...
According to Fu Zhizhou, innate martial arts masters can easily confuse the will of ordinary people with the help of spiritual mystical techniques and force ordinary people to reveal the secrets they know.
After leaving the government office.
Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou discussed the government affairs.
During this period, Fu Zhizhou did not hide anything and told some things he knew about the innate martial arts master.
There may be innate martial arts masters in Wuyun Tower.
And the government, too!
Because of this, the four of them agreed not to reveal what they saw in the government office last night easily to outsiders, even close friends, parents and elders.
Now, Wu Xiucai's undercover work in Wu Yunlou has not been revealed, but what about the future?
Once the matter is revealed, the dozen or so martial arts masters who went to the government office last night will definitely suffer, and will be personally interrogated by the innate martial arts masters sent by the government.
Their relatives and friends will also be treated similarly.
therefore.
For the safety of everyone.
Wei Tu and Fu Zhizhou must bury this matter deeply in their stomachs and cannot reveal it to anyone easily.
"Is this matter more important than Brother Wei's county examination...?"
Seeing Wei Tu's expression, Shan Yangong was slightly surprised, and soon had some guesses about the secret of the government affairs.
He was also a smart man, so he quickly changed the subject and asked about the three martial arts masters who had left the government office together with Wei Tu.
Regarding this.
Wei Tu had no need to hide anything, so he told Shan Yangong everything about the sworn relationship.
"This is a good thing." Shan Yangong expressed his appreciation for this matter. "It is better for four people to form an alliance and work together than to fight alone."
The two talked until evening.
Wei Tu timely mentioned that he was about to say goodbye and return to his hometown, and said: "I will return to my hometown in three days. If brother Yangong and his wife want to take something with them, they hope to prepare it as soon as possible and let me take it with them."
go……"
"You are interested." Shan Yanggong nodded and replied after hearing this.
After saying this, he looked at Wei Tu with a smile on his face and his eyes became more and more satisfied, feeling that his "suspiciousness" about Wei Tu on New Year's Day was really nonsense.
A scholar can know the affairs of the world without going out.
After Shan Yangong saw a lot of people gain momentum, he would be scornful of his former benefactors - there were very few people like Wei Tu who kept their true intentions and were neither arrogant nor impetuous.
"I will notify my mother and wife right now to see if they have any letters to my father..."
Shan Yangong stood up, bowed his hands to Wei Tu, then turned and left the living room.
…
Three days later.
Wei Tu and Wei Fei kept company, and they rode fast horses to Qingshan County together.
on the way.
After talking with Wei Fei.
Wei Tu knew part of Wei Fei's family and background.
On the surface, Wei Fei is the young master of the Wei family in the county, but secretly, he is actually an adopted son adopted by the leader of the Qinghu Gang in the county.
This was the first time Wei Tu had heard about the gangs in Qingshan County, and he couldn't help but be curious and asked a few more questions.
"When I was in the county seat, I had never heard of gangs like the Qinghu Gang. Is it because these gangs act secretly, or..."
Wei Tu asked casually.
——Li Zhai has certain restrictions on the entry and exit of servants and maids. They can only leave after asking for leave and explaining where they are going.
"The government is so powerful that no gang would have the guts to go against the government. We, the Qinghu Gang, are just thugs supported by the government..."
"If an upright person appears in the county seat, it will be a slap in Chen Zhixian's face."
Wei Fei tightened the reins of his fast horse, stopped on the official road for a while, and said with a self-deprecating look on his face.
