Ask Sword

Li Ang stared at Jiao Cheng, "What are you going to do?"

"You Xiao made a bad start,"

Jiao Cheng said lightly: "And I want the girls in the workshop to calm down and settle down."

Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly. The way to make people submit is to make them despair, and the prerequisite for despair is to destroy hope. "Song Shaoyuan has the status of a candidate, and he is a candidate for the academy."

"There are tens of thousands of new recruits in Yu State every year,"

Jiao Cheng raised a finger and said, "Besides, Mr. Song should be said to be a college candidate who failed the re-examination."

Li Ang said: "Yu Law strictly forbids lynching and ill-treating people."

"Yulu also forbids the slaughter of cattle and the eating of carp. The East and West markets still sell beef and live fish."

Jiao Cheng said indifferently: "Besides, Pingkang Fang has a thousand ways to make people submit without leaving trauma.

and"

Jiao Cheng grinned, "You Xiao is not from Yu, she is from Jing."

Li Ang paused when he heard that, turned his head and quickly glanced at the pale-faced You Duzhi, and sure enough, he saw an imperceptible dark red streak near the tip of his hair.

Yu State stipulates that there are servants but no slaves in the country. Even the poor and white people of Yu State will not be reduced to the situation of being slaves for generations.

But this rule does not apply to Zhou people, Jing people, Turkic people, and Hu people.

As long as they don't have household registration in Yu country, they can't be regarded as truly complete people in the sense of Yu law, and the protection they receive will naturally be greatly reduced.

Because of this, the wealthy and dignitaries in Chang'an are so fond of raising foreign servants - even if they die, no one will bother.

Li Ang sighed silently, looked at Jiao Cheng and said, "You should know that I was second in the first exam and first in the re-examination."

"I know that."

Jiao Cheng's eyes flickered for a moment. To be able to stand behind the scenes of Pingkangfang for so many years, it is the most basic instinct to search for news, find out the details, and prevent the iron plate from being kicked.

Even if it is a drunk who makes a scene in a restaurant after being drunk, smashes a porcelain lamp stand, and injures a clerk,

They usually persuade him with good words and send him out of Pingkangfang.

After inquiring about the identity and confirming that the other party has no strong relationship, he will take revenge.

"However, at Zhuque Street last night, Xi Yangyu Siye already passed a verdict on you."

Jiao Cheng tilted his head, and said slowly: "The sword hexagram is broken in the skull, and I cannot practice in this life."

Not being able to cultivate means not being able to enter the academy.

Failure to enter the academy meant that all hopes of making friends with the princes and generals' children and stepping into the upper echelons of Yu Kingdom disappeared.

"That's not what I'm going to say."

Li Ang took out a small paper bag folded into a square from his arms, and threw it at Jiao Cheng casually.

Hum——

The paper package suddenly stopped in the air, suspended in front of Jiao Cheng.

Jiao Cheng turned his head sideways, glanced at the two monks who were still playing chess leisurely, casually took the paper bag in mid-air, opened it with one hand and glanced at it casually.

It was a paper flight ticket, from the Liuguang Bank, with a face value of thousands of coins.

"Ah,"

Jiao Cheng laughed and shook his head, put down the flying ticket, looked at Li Ang and said, "Li Xiaolang, do you think I'm short of money?

You Xiao is the most popular lady in Lianhualou, he knows that the grooming fee is two thousand guan, and the redemption fee is 5000 guan."

Li Ang said lightly: "Look again, the place and time of issuance on the flight ticket."

"time?"

Jiao Cheng frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes.

The issuing place on the flight ticket is the head office of Liuguang Bank in Chongrenfang,

The time is the end of June.

Could it be that.

Jiao Cheng raised his eyebrows. At the end of June, the examinees had already arrived in Chang'an - for the convenience of carrying, many candidates from other places with wealthy families came to Chang'an with flying tickets from their hometown banks.

After arriving in Chang'an, the flying tickets with large denominations were exchanged for copper coins of different denominations for daily consumption.

And 1000 Guan is basically the largest denomination flying ticket in circulation on the market.

It is impossible for candidates from other places to bring 1,000 guan flying tickets from other banks to Chang'an to exchange for copper coins, and then go to the head office of Chongrenfang Liuguang Bank to re-deposit 1,000 guan flying tickets—this is completely meaningless.

Therefore, this flight ticket was not brought by foreign candidates from their hometown, but was newly obtained in Chang'an recently.

"You should know that I'm a doctor in Weizhou, and I was able to get the second place in the preliminary examination because of Danqing, arithmetic, herbal medicine, and the top three subjects."

Li Ang said indifferently: "And this flying ticket comes from the payment for my medical treatment from the Duke of Yan's Mansion in Anxingfang."

Slap.

The sound of Go chess pieces stopped abruptly, and the two monks with swords in the corner raised their heads in unison, looking at Jiao Cheng who had suddenly fallen silent.

The only sound in the room was the bubbling of the teapot on the stove.

Jiao Cheng narrowed his eyes and carefully scanned the information on the flight ticket.

It is the instinct of every Chang'an snake mouse hiding in the gutter to observe the movements of the upper echelons of Chang'an.

The news that Yan Yundang was seriously ill and asked His Majesty to send an imperial doctor to guard Yan Guogong's mansion has long been spread in Chang'an.

And the Duke of Yan's mansion didn't intend to hide it deliberately, and posted rewards everywhere in Chang'an City, and invited famous doctors from all over the place with a lot of money.

"What proof do you have?"

"The servants of the Duke of Yan's mansion recently collected pigeons, sparrows and other birds in the East and West City, and fed them polished rice."

Li Ang said indifferently: "Because we are worried that the outside world will say that the descendants of the Yan family disregarded filial piety and kept pets when Duke Yan was seriously ill.

So these things are done quietly.

And after June 20th.

If your people are smart enough, they should be able to find out. "

"."

Jiao Cheng was silent for a while, then reached out and patted the ground twice.

The tattooed man who was in charge of guarding the door immediately came in, knelt on the ground, listened to Jiao Cheng's whisper, then turned and left the room.

Not long after, he returned again and nodded to Jiao Cheng outside the door.

"It was I who managed to find out the cause of Duke Yan's illness and eased his pain,"

Li Ang said casually: "Do you think that if the news that I am trapped here spreads,

What will the people in the Duke's mansion do? "

Jiao Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "You haven't completely cured Duke Yan yet."

"Then I'm also the closest to being cured."

Li Ang said lightly: "Do you dare to bet? Betting that the Duke's government will not search this place to the bottom for a possibility.

If someone can come forward, I will press you to death here directly,

I believe that those dignitaries in the city whose private secrets you have mastered don't mind giving a push in the back.

Do you think the people behind you have the ability to keep you in that situation?

Even if there is, is it worth making him pay the price of forming a deadly enmity with Duke Yan? "

Jiao Cheng fell silent again.

"I don't want much,"

Li Ang saw that the words were almost finished, and said calmly: "Song Shaoyuan and You both know that I will take them away, so this thousand coins should be regarded as the deposit.

The remaining 4,000 strings of redemption fee will be given to you within seven days. "

"."

Jiao Cheng thought for a moment, then raised his head and said hoarsely, "I can let you take away Song Shaoyuan and You Xiao, but there is one condition."

"explain."

"For me, treat someone."
