The second day of the first lunar month blessings are here: New Year, set off firecrackers; reunion dinner, good taste; people are reunited, joyful; family happiness, blessings; peace talismans, family covers; lucky signs, all draws; everything is good in the new year

!

"Young Master Zeng, there is nothing to do in the store. You are so young that you have to go upstairs."

At this moment, the shopkeeper had already reached the table and carefully told Zeng Yuanshu that the situation was in progress. After all, he had been booked the third floor today, but he could not stabilize the young master Zhang.

Zeng Yuanshu had heard the arrogant voice downstairs early in the morning. There were not many people in Pengze County who dared to give him face so much, so one came downstairs.

After looking at the girl Xiangyun who was already covered in a broken face, Zeng Yuanshu knew that they were actually suffering from the fish pond. But he didn't expect that Zhang Haochu would not stop during the New Year. He usually fights and fights.

But now the New Year is not over, so I come to find another place.

"Let them come up."

Zeng Yuanshu didn't want to be troubled by the people in Jingshuilou, this was not his style.

And after Wu Dong's whispered explanation, Wei Guangde also knew who was coming, and he was also a famous family in Zepeng County.

The three great masters of Zepeng County, Zeng Chen and Zhang, Zhang Haochu is the eldest brother of the younger generation of the Zhang family. He usually only acts arrogantly, but he does not do anything to oppress his neighbors. He meets Zeng Yuanshu, although it is not a good relationship.

, but at least nodded, and you can still live up to your face.

However, the relationship between the two is bad, which is the past two years. Everyone is a scholar, so naturally the comparison is fame.

The last time I participated in the imperial examination, Zeng Yuanshu and Zhang Haochu went there. They passed the county examination, but they were still happy, but they changed when they arrived at the palace examination.

After the Mansion Examination was released, Zeng Yuanshu, Wu Dong and Ma Xiang all passed the test successfully and won Tong Sheng. Zhang Haochu, who had been convinced at the beginning, failed the exam.

It was normal to fail the exam. More than 90% of the candidates failed in every exam. In fact, everyone knows it.

But the bad thing is that the day before the list was launched, when more than a dozen Zepeng students were discussing the exam questions, Zhang Haochu ridiculed the articles written by Zeng Yuanshu and Wu Dong, believing that they had no hope of studying now.

After the list was released the next day, Zhang Haochu and Zhang Dashao lost his face and left Jiujiang Prefecture City with no pitfalls.

The normal pace, this matter ended here, but when Zeng Yuanshu, Wu Dong and others happily returned to Zepeng County, they realized that just two days ago, they had bribed the prefect and the tutors in Zepeng County.

, rumor that you have obtained the qualification of a child.

This kind of rumor spread quickly, and it was already spreading all over the sky when they returned to Zepeng County.

In fact, to be honest, the qualifications of the child born in the Ming Dynasty were really worthless. There was no preferential treatment. It was just the qualifications to participate in the college entrance examination.

Generally speaking, parents and officials from all over the country, namely the magistrate and the prefect, will turn a blind eye to let the children of local families pass smoothly when they are in the county and prefecture, and will not deliberately impose thresholds.

It is probably because of this reason that Zhang Haochu thought that his childhood exam would pass smoothly, but unexpectedly, an accident happened. This time, he did not play according to common sense.

Zeng Yuanshu asked someone to find the source of the rumors, and soon discovered that the rumors were first reported by the servants of the Zhang family. It is hard to say whether it was Zhang Haochu's instruction.

Everyone knows many things. Children of large families generally do not make this rumor. After all, they are involved in the prefect. Although this is Zepeng, the prefect may not know what is happening here.

Of course, Wu Dong and the others also talked about this with Zeng Yuan, but they couldn't say too much. They didn't know if this was what Zhang Haochu said or his friend said so to please him. When the servant heard this, he thought it was the young master who failed the exam.

the truth.

Zeng Yuanshu had also privately found Zhang Haochu, but Zhang Haochu ignored this and laughed at him saying, "I am not afraid of being slanted by the shadows." This made Zeng Yuanshu half angry.

There were more rumors afterwards, and they said that those who passed the joints in the college entrance examination would win, and some people in the current academic field would win. Some people also said that if they failed, it was because the news was leaked and they were afraid that they would not be able to escape the public.

In short, Zeng Yuanshu and their college examinations were completely closed. Whether they won or not, they could not escape the cheating path.

The conflict between the two sides finally broke out after Zeng Yuanshu and others failed the exam in the Individual Hospital. Two groups of people met unexpectedly in a restaurant in Zepeng County. First, they had guns and sticks in their words, and were insulted. In the end, the few people who were so angry that they finally fought.

Fortunately, several scholars are used to being arrogant and do not have great combat effectiveness. Although they are all bruised and swollen, they are not seriously injured and have skin trauma.

After that, the number of entourages of the two went out increased sharply, and they almost had a big fight when they met.

As for the elders of the two families, they did not come forward on this issue, and it seemed that they wanted to polish the abilities of the younger generation.

This is what Wei Guangde conjecture, but I know I had a fight before the New Year.

Wei Guangde glanced at his cousin. This future lord Qianhu had no combat power. It was really hard to say.

"They fight like this, the magistrate doesn't care?"

Wei Guangde asked in a low voice in surprise.

"Just keep in mind, no official title will be corrected.

If someone breaks things, he will compensate him. Whoever sues the official? As long as he doesn’t have a life, everything will be fine."

Wu Dong whispered to Wei Guangde: "Our county magistrate is a truly practicing the way of a gentleman. Under his rule, he advocates the rule of inaction. If someone sues the official, he will directly go back to the hometown and the hometown to mediate.

If you really want to sue the official, if you have any reason, just beat the board first.

In his eyes, the one who makes trouble is the troublemaker, who refuses to accept Wang Hua, and has no etiquette and humility in his heart."

When Wei Guangde heard his cousin say this, he felt speechless.

"What should I do if there are disputes in the county now? Solve it privately?"

"Of course, in the end, it depends on who has a big fist and a hard background.

I heard that there are no more than ten lawsuits in our county a year. When they are reported, they say that the county magistrate is well-managed, and the local people are gentle and live and work in peace. Anyway, our Zepeng County doesn’t pick up the road and don’t close the doors at night.”

Speaking of this, Wu Dong himself laughed.

Now the Zeng family and the Zhang family have to fight each month. Sometimes when they meet, they will ask their entourage to help the boxing. His entourage is all family generals raised by Wu Qianhu, and they are very good at fighting.

"This is the New Year, and will the fight start today?"

Wei Guangde asked in a low voice.

When he said this, his elder brother Wei Wencai had already shined on his side.

"If it's normal, you should have a fight."

Wu Dong's answer made Wei Guangde feel speechless, as if he was a little eager to try.

When they were talking, everyone had already come up. Not only Zhang Haochu, a group of friends and followers around him, but also the people brought by Zeng Yuanshu and Wu Dong also came up. The entire third floor was full of people.

However, the shopkeeper of Jingshui Tower was wiping his sweat while waiting for the next war.

Before Zhang Haochu could speak, Zeng Yuanshu slapped the table with his right hand and stood up and said, "Zhang Haochu, I didn't teach you enough last time. Those who are in the New Year dare to come and ask for a fight."

After saying this, he turned his head to Liu Mama and Xiangyun and said, "You have nothing to do with you here, go down."

Facing the two groups of people who were tense, the people in Fanghua Tower were already trembling. Now that he heard Zeng Yuanshu's words, he hurriedly bowed to the two groups of people in the venue and fled downstairs.
