Yang Ding suddenly laughed and said: "It turns out that this is what your lord is talking about. This matter all depends on your lord's control. I am only now making this small contribution. I don't dare to take credit in front of your lord!"

Sun Zhixian shook his head and said: "Secretary Yang, don't be humble in front of me. I have already written a memorial and sent it to the capital. Secretary Yang's contribution will not be less. I will not pretend to be Secretary Yang."

Gong!"

Yang Ding's heart tightened, knowing that the next sentence Sun Zhixian said must be "but". Sure enough, Sun Zhixian paused and then said: "But ---, Secretary Yang, although we have fought against the White Lotus Cult these two times, we

They all returned with a great victory, but after all, no living White Lotus cultists were captured. If I submit this memorial, the emperor will definitely be pleased after seeing it. If the emperor asks us for people by then, we will still have them!"

Yang Ding secretly thought to himself, and sure enough, Yang Ding said: "Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely solve your worries before the emperor's imperial edict is issued!"

Sun Zhixian obviously did not hear the meaning behind Yang Ding's answer. Sun Zhixian nodded and said with a satisfied smile: "Of course I can rest assured when Secretary Yang is doing things. I have told Qin Zhong today that Qin's chief will be here."

I will assist you in capturing the White Lotus cultists. If Secretary Yang needs manpower, he can borrow it from Qin Baotou!"

"Yes, sir. If nothing happens, sir, I'll take my leave now!"

Yang Ding came out of Sun Zhixian's study, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he couldn't help but smile. He just said that he would solve Sun Zhixian's worries before the emperor's imperial edict came down. What if the emperor didn't order someone? In short, the White Lotus cult is

He needs to be caught, but if he is allowed to resort to deceit and deception at the expense of the lives of innocent people, he will never be able to do it.

"Young Master Yang!" Just as Yang Ding was thinking about something in his mind, a voice that seemed familiar yet unfamiliar sounded from behind him.

As soon as Yang Ding turned around, a thin and pretty woman stood in front of Yang Ding. Yang Ding was stunned, and a familiar feeling immediately came to his heart. After being stunned for a long time, Yang Ding opened his mouth, clasped his fists, and said: "

Sun, Miss Sun!"

It turned out that this woman was Sun Ying who had changed back into women's clothes. Seeing Yang Ding's appearance, Sun Ying covered her mouth and smiled, deliberately lowered her voice and said: "Brother Yang, if you feel it is inconvenient, you can still call me."

Brother Sun’s!”

Yang Ding shook his head and said: "No, no, I didn't know that Miss Sun was born as a girl before, so I was a little arrogant in my words. Now that Miss Sun is showing off in her own right, how can I call Miss Sun brother again?"

Sun Ying said with a smile: "Why didn't I see that Young Master Yang was such a reserved person before? I thought that Young Master Yang was a man who was not afraid of anything!"

Yang Ding also smiled and said: "My courage is actually all pretending. I was originally very timid, especially when Miss Sun Ying found me such a job. I naturally have to cherish it and be careful every step of the way."

yes!"

Sun Ying said: "Mr. Yang, actually my name is not Sun Ying, my name is Sun Yuying. Sun Ying is just my pseudonym when I disguise myself as a man!"

Yang Ding asked in astonishment: "So Magistrate Sun is not Miss Sun's uncle?"

Sun Yuying said with a smile: "County Magistrate Sun is my father!"

Yang Ding let out a cry of surprise. This Miss Sun had a beautiful face, was well-educated, and was open-minded. This was not like Magistrate Sun's temperament. The most important thing was that Yang Ding never thought that this Miss Sun would be Sun.

The county magistrate's daughter.

"Mr. Yang, it was not that Yuying deliberately concealed it before. It was just because Yuying met Mr. Yang for the first time and didn't know his origin, so she--"

Yang Ding smiled and said: "Miss Sun, there is no need to explain, I know these things."

Sun Yuying said: "Did Mr. Yang get hurt yesterday? I heard from Uncle Qin that the White Lotus Saint was very vicious, and Mr. Yang just offended her."

Yang Dingdao: "It was indeed a bit dangerous yesterday. Fortunately, the matter has been basically resolved. I think it will be fine in the future!"

Sun Yuying said again: "Young Master Yang, it's better not to get involved in these fighting and killing things in the future. After all, Young Master Yang is a scholar. There is a saying that all books are inferior but only those who are good at reading are good. If Young Master Yang feels embarrassed, I can personally act like my father."

Explain."

Yang Ding said: "Miss Sun, I deserve this job. If you don't do this well, how can you have the nerve to take the money given by Mr. Sun? I have told Miss Sun before that I am really worthy of the imperial examination."

I’m not very proficient, but if I really take part in the imperial examination, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint Miss Sun in the end!”

Sun Yuying stamped her feet angrily and said: "Mr. Yang, when I first met you, Yuying thought you were a confident and brave person. I didn't expect that Yuying was mistaken. If Mr. Yang is so unwilling to make progress, then Yuying will

I’m really disappointed in you!”

Ah? What's going on? Yang Ding saw Sun Yuying leaving like a angry little woman. Did he say the wrong thing just now? But what he said was obviously the truth. Did he ask him to use a simple vernacular?

Can’t I write that eight-part article?

Sun Yuying walked to the back office angrily, and Sun Zhixian happened to be walking out of the study. Sun Zhixian saw his daughter pouting with an unhappy look on her face, and joked with a smile: "Who offended our Yuying family?"

Are you ready? Look at the little mouth of our Orioles pouting, they are almost ready to make soy sauce!"

When Sun Yuying saw that it was her father, she felt aggrieved instantly. Sun Yuying said angrily: "Who else could be there besides that ignorant Yang Ding!"

Yang Ding? Sun Zhixian was startled and asked: "Yu Ying, didn't you introduce this Yang Ding? Why doesn't this kid know that you are my daughter?"

Sun Yuying said: "Dad, it's not what you think. This Yang Ding obviously has such a good talent, but he just wants to sink himself. My daughter, my daughter has kindly advised him to take the imperial examination several times, but this piece of wood just doesn't like the imperial examination.

Would you say it’s irritating or not?”

"Ah? Yuying, it's Yang Ding's business whether he wants to take part in the imperial examination or not, so don't worry about it. Besides, the Children's Examination will be held in February next year. With the word Yang Ding written in it, I'm afraid he really won't pass the exam!

"Sun Zhi County Road.

Sun Yuying said: "Dad, I'm not asking Yang Ding to take part in the children's examination next year. I want Yang Ding to take part in the imperial examination in three years. In three years, even a stupid person can master calligraphy!"

Sun Zhixian looked at Sun Yuying aware of it, and seemed to be aware of it. Sun Zhixian asked tentatively: "Yuying, you and Yang Ding---? Yuying, dad's term of office is approaching, if he doesn't come out

If unexpected, there should be great hope for promotion this time. After all, Yang Ding is a scribe in Le'an County. Doesn't his status have some ---?"

Sun Yuying said: "Dad, you are thinking too much! Although Yang Ding is just a scribe now, heroes do not care about their origins. I just think it would be a pity if Yang Ding's talent cannot serve the court. Besides, if Yang Ding can be able to

Enter the imperial court,

It’s also a very good helper for dad, don’t you think so dad?”

Sun Zhixian slowly shook his head and said: "Yu Ying, things in the court are not as simple as you think. Yang Ding has no apprenticeship and is following a wild path. Even if he can pass the examination and enter the officialdom in the future, it will be difficult for him to make any achievements.

There have been many talented people throughout the ages, but how many of them were able to stand in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the end? Your father and I were also born in the second rank of Jinshi, but after more than ten years as an official, I was only promoted to the county magistrate. What do you think this official is?

Is it easy or difficult to do?”

"Dad, I don't understand the truth. I only know that as long as an official can benefit the people, he is a good official! Dad, isn't this what you always teach your daughter?" Sun Yuying said.

Sun Zhixian said: "Yuying, it's hard to be a good official. How many good officials have been able to die a good death in the past and present? The most important thing is that good officials are not necessarily capable officials, but those who can benefit the people and leave their names for eternity are often able.

Official, Yuying, your father now wants to be an official!"

It is true that a good official is not necessarily a capable official. What a good official does is reputation, and what a capable official does is political performance. Even if a capable official is temporarily misunderstood by the people, the wheel of history will eventually be fair to the official.

Sun Yuying looked at her father, and her heart was filled with excitement. The person she wanted to marry was an ambitious person like her father. Is Young Master Yang like that? Maybe in Sun Yuying's heart, Yang Ding was such a person.

Yang Ding walked all the way to the front office. Everywhere he went, the government officials in the county took the initiative to come over and say hello to Yang Ding. The county officials had all heard about what happened yesterday.

Showing his power, the magic of cutting paper into weapons with one hand is even more rumored to be miraculous. It is said that this Secretary Yang escaped from the hands of the White Lotus Saint twice in one day. Especially last night, this Secretary Yang

He even threw a "hidden weapon" at the White Lotus Saint!

After all, not everyone can have such good luck, and not everyone dares to throw ashes at the White Lotus Saint. Therefore, these people have determined that Yang Ding is not only incredibly lucky, but also extremely courageous.

And it is said that Secretary Yang has been entrusted with an important task by Mr. Sun today.

Yang Ding walked to the front office, and happened to meet an acquaintance walking towards him. It turned out to be Master Song!

The last time the two met was a few days ago. Yang Ding had never seen Master Song since the "war of words". Yang Ding heard from Sun Yuying that Master Song had taken two days off because he was so angry that he didn't know.

Is your body feeling better?

Yang Ding's personality has always been very easy-going, because the concept of equality for everyone has been deeply rooted in his heart, and Master Song is an old senior, so Yang Ding actually doesn't want to stalemate the relationship between the two.

"Master Song, what a coincidence. The weather is nice today. Look how beautiful the flowers in the flower garden are blooming!" Seeing Master Song walking toward him step by step, Yang Ding couldn't think of how to resolve the embarrassment between the two of them, so he casually said

Said this.

Master Song looked in the direction of Yang Ding's finger, snorted coldly, and said: "Shu Zi is ignorant and has no skills. He has simply lost the face of us scholars. This is called seeing the red and wet places in the morning, and spending all the money in the official city!"

The corner of Yang Ding's mouth twitched. It seemed that the old man had no intention of going down the steps.

Yang Ding said: "Master Song, reading is to let us understand what we can and cannot do, not to compete with others and show off our ability to talk. Master Song, I respect you as a senior, and I hope that Master Song can also look like a senior.
