Ask Sword

  Chapter 78

   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 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 school candidate who failed the re-examination."

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

   "Yulu also forbids slaughtering cattle and eating carp. Don't you still have beef and live fish for sale in the East and West markets?"

  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 after hearing the words, turned his head and quickly glanced at the pale 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 provision does not apply to Zhou people, Jing people, Turkic people, and Hu people.

  As long as they don't have Yu country household registration, 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 hurts a clerk,

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

  Will not take revenge until after inquiring about the identity and confirming that the other party has no strong relationship.

   "However, last night on Suzaku Street, Xi Yangyu Siye already gave you a verdict."

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

  Being unable to practice cultivation means failing to enter the academy.

  Failing to enter the academy meant that all hopes of making good friends with the princes and generals' children and stepping into the upper class of the 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.

  嗡—

  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 slowly, took the paper bag in mid-air casually, opened it with one hand and glanced at it casually.

   It was a paper flight ticket, Liuguang Bank, with a face value of thousands of dollars.

"Ah,"

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

  You Xiao is the most popular lady in Lianhualou, and the grooming fee is 2,000 guan, and the redemption fee is 5,000 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 candidates had already arrived in Chang'an—for the convenience of carrying, many candidates from other places with wealthy families came to Chang'an with air tickets from the bank in their hometown.

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

  Yiqianguan is basically the largest denomination flying ticket in 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 Liuguang Bank in Chongrenfang 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 am a doctor in Weizhou, and I was able to get the second place in the preliminary examination because I got the top three subjects in Danqing, arithmetic, and herbal medicine."

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

   Pata.

  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 suddenly fell silent.

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

  Jiao Cheng squinted his eyes, carefully scanning the information on the flight ticket.

   It is the instinct of every Changan 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 stay in Yan Guogong's mansion time and time again, has long been spread in Chang'an.

  The Duke of Yan’s government didn’t intend to hide it deliberately, and posted rewards everywhere in Chang’an City, inviting famous doctors from all over the country with huge sums 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 cities, and fed them polished rice."

   Li Ang said indifferently: "Because I am 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 stretched out his hand 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 whisper a few words, then turned and left the house.

   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 Lord Yan's illness and eased his pain,"

   Li Ang said casually: "Do you think that if the news of me being 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? Bet that the Duke's government will not search this place to the bottom for a possibility.

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

  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, and this thousand pens should be regarded as a deposit.

  The remaining 4,000 ransom money will be given to you within seven days. "

  “.”

  Jiao Cheng thought for a moment, 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 a person."
