Nangong Cheng sighed and thought to himself: "I didn't expect this group of people haven't given up yet. If they are allowed to continue asking, they will ask sooner or later. Why don't I appear in front of them and lead them away?" So Nangong Cheng deliberately started from

Passed in front of the group of literati.

After seeing this, the group of literati immediately followed Nangong Cheng.

Nangong Cheng led the group of literati for several streets, thinking: "We can't go on like this without any purpose. If we continue like this, these literati will get suspicious sooner or later. It seems that I have to take them to a place. To

Where to go? Yes, it is Youshi now and Xushi is about to arrive. Why don't I go to Yang Shiqi's house and see what Yang Shiqi's reaction is after receiving the couplet from the silly girl?" Nangong Cheng made up his mind, so he took the couple with him.

Following the group of literati, they came to Yang Shiqi's house.

At dusk, in front of Yang Shiqi's house.

Cao Nai was waiting for Yang Shiqi's return at Yang's Mansion with two letters. Two people were pasting couplets on the pillars of the main gate of Yang's Mansion. Nangong Cheng also came to Yang Shiqi's house with the group of literati.

Nangong Cheng turned around and said to the group of literati: "Everyone, we are here."

When the literati saw that Nangong Cheng had brought them to Yang Shiqi's house, they were all surprised. One of them asked, "Why did you bring us to Mr. Yang's house?"

Nangong Chengdao: "Since you all say that you have the talent to govern the country, let Mr. Yang Shiqi see how much talent you have to govern the country."

The group of literati looked at Yang Shiqi's mansion and left after minding their own business.

Nangong Cheng snorted coldly and said: "You don't even have the courage to say that you have the talent to govern the country. If you leave from here today, don't ask my wife to write letters of recommendation for you again!"

The group of literati seemed not to have heard what Nangong Cheng said and left without looking back. As a result, there were only Nangong Cheng and Cao Nai in front of the Yang Mansion. Cao Nai looked at Nangong Cheng and nodded with a smile, and Nangong Cheng also looked at

Cao Nai nodded. After a while, when Cao Nai looked at Nangong Cheng again, Nangong Cheng had disappeared.

In the evening, just after Xu Shi, the sky gradually became dark, but it was not completely dark. People could still be seen clearly within twenty steps.

Yang Shiqi appeared at the door of his house with steady steps. As soon as he appeared, he saw the two people leaving after pasting couplets on the pillars of his door.

Yang Shiqi looked at the couplet and nodded. It seemed that he really liked this couplet. He also read out the couplet: "The saints read books, collect classics and history, and write poems and songs randomly; capable ministers govern the country, Confucianism, Taoism, law and military, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce."

They all have their hearts in mind. What a poem, song, and rhyme written casually, what a scholar, peasant, industrialist, and businessman all has a heart in their heart, what a mind that has the world in mind." When Yang Shiqi saw Cao Nai next to him, he thought that this couplet was written by Cao Nai, so he came over and asked:

"Did you write this couplet?"

In fact, Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu were not here at this time. Even if Cao Nai said that this couplet was written by him, it was written by him, but he did not say so. Cao Nai clasped his fists at Yang Shiqi and said: "Report to the Chief Assistant, Mr.

, I dare not take the credit of others as my own. This couplet was written by a girl, not by me."

Yang Shiqi sighed and said: "What a pity! What a pity! The person who wrote this couplet has the talent to help the world, how could he be a girl?"

Cao Nai nodded, and he also felt that Yang Shiqi's sigh was very reasonable.

It was getting dark, and Yang Shiqi walked towards his house.

"Master Yang, please stay!" Cao Nai called to Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi stopped, turned to look at Cao Nai and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Cao Nai handed the two letters to Yang Shiqi and said: "These are the two letters that the girl who wrote the couplet asked me to give to you. She said that I must hand them to you personally!"

Yang Shiqi nodded, took the letter from Cao Nai, and said to Cao Nai: "Okay, I will read these two letters carefully. You can go back now!"

Cao Nai thought for a while, looked at Yang Shiqi and said: "To be honest, one of these two letters is a letter of recommendation written by the girl who wrote the couplet for me. I would like to know

After reading the letter of recommendation, do you still want to see me? So I am waiting for news from you outside the mansion."

Yang Shiqi nodded and said, "Okay, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." After saying that, Yang Shiqi entered the house.

In Yang Shiqi's mansion.

Butler Yang Zhong said to Yang Shiqi: "My lord, you are back!"

Yang Shiqi nodded and said to Yang Zhong: "Is someone coming to deliver a letter to Zhou Chen today?"

Yang Zhong nodded and said: "Yes, a man and a woman, they look like a couple."

Yang Shiqi said: "Go and get Zhou Chen's letter. I want to see what letter Zhou Chen wrote to me."

"The letter from Mr. Zhou has always been on my possession. Please take a look at it." Yang Zhong took out the letter from himself and handed it to Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi took the letter, put the three letters together in his hand, and walked to the study. Yang Zhong followed him to the study to wait on him.

Nangong Cheng also used Qinggong to fly to the roof of the study. He gently opened a tile and looked at the situation inside.

The first thing Yang Shiqi read was the letter Zhou Chen wrote to him. After reading it, he smiled and said: "It turns out that what Zhou Chen wrote to me this week was a letter of recommendation. In the letter, he said that Nangong Cheng is very powerful in martial arts, and Ouyang Zhan is thoughtful and good at

To solve the case, Hua Manchun has great medical skills. I hope I can keep them and serve the court."

Yang Zhong said: "Master Zhou must have tried his best to retain them, but he really couldn't, so he asked you to find a way."

Yang Shiqi nodded and said: "You are right! Zhou Chen usually does not recommend people. The fact that these three people can be recommended by Zhou Chen shows that they are indeed outstanding. I will definitely meet these three people when I have the opportunity.

.”

Yang Zhongdao: "I advise you to give up recommending them to the government."

Yang Shiqi was puzzled and asked: "Why is this?"

Yang Zhongdao: "Ouyang Zhan is my friend. I know his character best. Emperor Taizong also wanted to bring Ouyang Zhan into the court and let him serve the court, but Ouyang Zhan refused. Ouyang Zhan is a hero.

I am used to living an unrestrained life and cannot stand the constraints of the court's rules."

Yang Shiqi nodded and said: "Even so, I will try my best. We are the ones who are blamed for serving the country. If we don't promote talents, it would be dereliction of duty. When I have a day off, you can find them."

Come home, I want to see them in person."

"Yes, please don't worry, sir. I will go immediately to find out where they are staying in the capital." Yang Zhong clasped his fists and said.

Yang Shiqi nodded and began to read the second letter.

After hearing the content of Zhou Chen's letter, Nangong Cheng felt very regretful. He thought to himself: "Sure enough, this cunning guy Zhou Chen wrote a letter of recommendation to Yang Shiqi. When I go back, I will definitely tell this silly girl about it. I will help you in the future.

When an official delivers a letter, he must read the content of the letter. Otherwise, he will be sold by these officials and still count the money for them."

After Yang Shiqi saw the second letter, his face suddenly darkened. He opened the letter written by Xiang Tianyu to him. The letter contained a total of eighteen characters, arranged in two rows, nine characters in a row.

It's so neat that it can even be seen as a couplet.

Yang Zhong saw that Yang Shiqi's face became very ugly, and he was a little confused. He said: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Shiqi glanced at Yang Zhong, handed the letter to Yang Zhong, and said, "Read the content of the letter!"

"Yes." Yang Zhong took the letter and read: "There is a way to govern a country, and you must be patriotic to govern the country. If you don't teach your children well, spoiling them is like killing them."

After Yang Zhong finished reading, Yang Shiqi smiled and said, "This person is laughing at my inability to teach my son."

Nangong Cheng also smiled when he heard the content of the letter and thought to himself: "This silly girl loves to write couplets too much, right? Why do the letters she writes look like couplets?"

Yang Zhong also knew that the content of the letter was true, but he couldn't let Yang Shiqi know it, so he said: "Sir, this man is too bold and dares to laugh at the chief minister of the dynasty. I propose that he be arrested immediately.

"

Yang Shiqi shook his head and said, "If I really arrest him, wouldn't it mean that I have no way to teach my son?" After saying that, he suddenly thought of Yang Ji and said, "Ji'er didn't do anything bad, right?"

Yang Zhong said: "Sir, the young master has been studying all day and has not done anything bad."

Nangong Cheng listened to Yang Zhong, smiled disdainfully, and thought to himself: "You are really telling lies with your eyes open, why didn't you tell him that this bastard Yang Ji broke a girl's leg? It seems that the silly girl already knew the truth.

If it is in your hands, it will never reach Yang Shiqi's hands, so I entrusted Cao Nai to deliver the letter."

"Okay! In that case, I would like to meet the girl who wrote the couplet in person and ask her how I taught my son so well." After Yang Shiqi finished speaking, he burned the letter.

When Nangong Cheng saw Yang Shiqi burning the letter Xiang Tianyu gave him, he couldn't help but sigh softly. He didn't understand why Yang Shiqi refused to believe the content of the letter. Nangong Cheng was not a father, maybe he would be when he became a father.

I understand. No father in the world is willing to believe that his son is a bad person based on a letter. This sigh immediately exposed himself.

Yang Zhong walked out of the study, pointed to the roof and said, "Who is on the roof?"

"Me." Nangong Cheng flew down from the roof and stood in front of Yang Zhong.

Yang Zhong stared at Nangong Cheng for a while, and finally remembered, he pointed at Nangong Cheng and said: "You are the one who came to deliver the letter during the day!"

Nangong Cheng nodded and said, "Why didn't you tell him that his son was cruel and evil and regarded human life as nothing? Why didn't you tell him that Yang Ji broke a girl's leg this morning?"

When Yang Shiqi heard what Nangong Cheng said, he was shocked and asked Yang Zhong, "Is what he said true? Did Yang Ji really break a girl's leg this morning?"

"No." Yang Ji said as he walked over, followed by four evil servants, "Dad, don't listen to this person framed the child. The child has been reading in the study all day and did not interrupt anyone.

Legs. If you don’t believe it, you can ask them.”

Yang Shiqi asked the four evil servants: "I ask you, is what the young master said true?"

"It's true. We can swear to God that the young master has been reading all day today and has never broken anyone's legs!" said one person. After the man finished speaking, he secretly said in his heart: "God, I just swore to you."

It doesn’t count, so don’t take it seriously!”

"Yes! Yes!" Others agreed.

Nangong Cheng snorted coldly and said to the evil servant: "Your oath was not clear. Why didn't your oath to God say what kind of divine punishment you would suffer? Have the guts to say your oath again."

The evil servant pointed to heaven and said, "I swear to God..."

"Ahem!" Nangong Cheng coughed and interrupted: "You have to think clearly, God cannot be deceived. Pang Juan once swore to God that he would not harm Sun Bin, otherwise he would die under random arrows.

He harmed Sun Bin, and he was really killed by random arrows."

The four fingers of the evil servant began to tremble, and he did not continue to speak for a long time.

Nangong Cheng smiled and continued: "You have to think clearly. Back then, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng agreed to exchange martial arts skills with each other and never hide their moves, and they both swore. Qin Qiong said that if he hid his moves, he would vomit blood and die.

Luo Cheng said that if he hid his moves, he would die from random arrows. But Qin Qiong hid his trump card, and Luo Cheng hid his carbine. As a result, both of them fulfilled their oaths, Luo Cheng died from random arrows, and Qin Qiong vomited blood and died."

When the evil servant heard what Nangong Cheng said, he was also afraid that his vow would come true, so he put down his hand and kowtowed to Yang Shiqi: "Sir, I am telling the truth today. You must keep me safe!"

Yang Shiqi said: "Just say it, no one dares to do anything to you as long as I am here!"

The evil servant said: "Young master did break a girl's leg today."
