Cui Dongsheng was very pleased with Li Rizhi, and Li Rizhi was naturally very happy. Before he came, he never thought that it would be so smooth. Cui Dongsheng had no airs of being a dignified governor!

Of course, Li Ri didn't know whether Cui Dongsheng had a lot of airs towards others, but he definitely had no airs towards him. Recommended by Rushuiyi, the master's new work: "The War of Spy" http://www./3_3276/

Li Rizhi quickly took out the manuscript he had prepared in advance. Of course, the articles he wrote were the best, so that Cui Dongsheng could evaluate them.

Cui Dongsheng first called the servant in and went to tell the coachman and the people from the Ma family to come, saying that he wanted to ask questions.

After that, Cui Dongsheng picked up Li Rizhi's article and read it. Cui Dongsheng was much worse than those who specialized in studying science like Guo Youji in writing articles. He was really not as good as Guo Youji, but in terms of details, Guo Youji was not as good as him.

Cui Dongsheng read a few policy comments and knew about Li Ri: "If you are proficient in the law, you can write more understanding of the law. Now the court needs talents in this area very much."

Li Rizhi hurriedly said: "This student has never thought about the understanding of the law before. In this way, students should pay more attention in the future, thank you for your uncle Cui Shi-chan."

Cui Dongsheng nodded, then looked through Li Rizhi's article. After a while, he finished reading a few articles and put down the article. Cui Dongsheng smiled and said, "With your current ability to write articles, it is very likely that you will be able to pass the Jinshi. However, if you want to pass the Jinshi, you can't rely on articles alone, and you must be able to deal with people!"

He refers to the investment banking paper. Before the imperial examination, candidates submit their articles to the hands of those in power, hoping to get help from those in power. Because the exams in this era are not absent, the people in power can still help, but it is still very particular about which high-ranking official to vote or how to vote.

Li Rizhi asked modestly: "What should students do after they arrive in Chang'an?"

Cui Dongsheng said: "Unless you decide who to invest in the investment bank now, if you are not sure yet, I advise you to stay there for a while after entering Chang'an, and then decide who to invest in the investment bank, and never be impulsive."

Cui Dongsheng told him a lot of tips on how to take the exam, and he would have to have dinner together at noon. Cui Dongsheng is very particular about food and clothing, and he is very particular about eating and never getting tired of food. He invited Li Rizhi to dinner, but it was just four dishes and one soup, but the dishes were very exquisite, with their own opinions and origins.

It really fits the saying that wealthy families will only know how to eat and wear after three generations!

Li Rizhi was also from a wealthy family, but in front of Cui Dongsheng, he was like a countryside. For example, the four dishes and one soup on the table were not even called the name of a dish, and Cui Dongsheng had to explain it to him one by one. Of course, Cui Dongsheng enjoyed this process very much and liked to explain it.

After lunch, a servant came to report that the Ma family and the coachman had all arrived. The Ma family came with Ma Shaoji's uncle, named Ma Wenshang.

Ma Wenshang is the youngest son of Ma Shilang Chang'an. He has no fame and no intention of career. He just takes care of the manor at home. However, even if Ma Wenshang is not an official, he has a good father, so Cui Dongsheng cannot neglect it.

Cui Dongsheng took Li Rizhi to the second hall in the front yard. The layout of the governor's mansion is the same as that of the county government. There are also lobby and second halls in the front yard. Shengtang refers to the lobby, while the receptionist is in the second hall.

When Cui Dongsheng was walking a few steps away from the door of the Second Hall, he accelerated his pace and raised his foot high and fell down. His steps were urgent and heavy. After entering the Second Hall, Cui Dongsheng shouted: "Oh, I haven't been able to come out to greet me. I have been waiting for Brother Ma for a long time. Offend me. Brother Ma hopes not to be surprised!"

Of course, Ma Wenshang was the one who was waiting in the second hall. The coachman was not worthy of waiting in the second hall. Ma Shaowen was not very old and looked almost forty years old. He was a round-faced man.

Seeing Cui Dongsheng coming, Ma Wenshang smiled and bowed, saying, "Brother Cui, you are polite. I just arrived, this person is..."

"This is the nephew of the magistrate of Zheng County, Xingyang. His name is Li Rizhi. He is planning to go to Chang'an to take the exam. He will come to my husband's place as a guest. I will bring him to meet Brother Ma."

Ma Wenshang said, but he didn't care about Li Rizhi. His father was the Minister of Personnel. Basically, he could not care about all foreign officials, let alone his nephew.

Li Rizhi bowed to Ma Wenshang and stood behind Cui Dongsheng, very abide by the rules and not ostentatious.

Cui Dongsheng smiled and said to Ma Wenshang: "Brother Ma, don't underestimate Nephew Li Xian. He is very capable in solving cases. Let him listen to the nephew's case. Brother Ma thinks what."

Ma Wenshang then said, looked at Li Rizhi, and said, "Young man is promising, very good!"

It was very perfunctory. It was obvious that he did not think that Li Rizhi had any real skills. On the contrary, he believed that Li Rizhi was brought out by Cui Dongsheng to see the world and wanted to get close to him.

Cui Dongsheng said: "Brother Ma, has your nephew Ma Shaoji not heard of these days?"

Ma Wenshang shook his head and said, "There is no news. According to common sense, if it is really a kidnapping and extortion, then the letter should be passed to my house, but it has not been there yet. Maybe it's not a kidnapping. Brother Cui, otherwise, I would infer what other possibilities are there."

Last time Cui Dongsheng and Ma Wenshang said that Ma Shaoji might have been kidnapped. He originally inferred that way, and asked Ma Wenshang to prepare the ransom, and then when the ransom was paid, he would beat the prisoners all in one place!

Ma Wenshang has prepared gold and silver, but he can't wait for news about the kidnappers, so he now suspects that it may not be a kidnapping, maybe it's something else!

Cui Dongsheng pointed two fingers and said, "There are two situations. One is that the coachman did not lie, that is, what we guessed might have been kidnapped, and the other is that the coachman lied, that might have not been kidnapped, maybe because of something else."

Ma Wenshang frowned and said, "What else is Shaoji's child who is not old and has little knowledge. If he hadn't been tied up, he wouldn't think of anything else. He is quite abide by the rules and never embarrasses the family. If he hadn't been deceived by bad people, he wouldn't have done anything out of the ordinary."

This is a bit obscure, but all three people in the second hall know that this is a reminder. Ma Wenshang meant that if Ma Shaoji did something that shamed the family because he did not abide by the rules, he would have been instigated by bad people. Ma Shaoji himself is not bad, and the bad people are instigated by bad people who instigated him to do extraordinary things!

Cui Dongsheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. The Ma family style is rigorous. How can the famous family members do a good job? I will naturally save myself. Then, if you pass the coachman up, I will ask him a few words!"

Li Rizhi immediately left the second hall and called the servants who were serving outside, asking them to call the driver in. The driver was waiting outside the lobby. It was very reasonable to enter the second hall. After a moment, he followed the servant.

As soon as the coachman entered the two halls, Li Rizhi looked up and down. The coachman was only in his twenties, big and thick, with a short neck and a big head, a solid figure and a dark face. He was wearing a patched short coat and straw sandals on his feet. He looked very poor. When the coachman entered the door, he kowtowed Cui Dongsheng.

After Li Rizhi looked at the coachman, he thought to himself: "This man is the coachman of the Ma family. Why are the clothes worn by him so indecent? If this man is driving the bus, wouldn't it be a big loss to the Ma family? If the coachman is dressed so shabby, then the master family may not be very rich!"

When Cui Dongsheng saw the coachman, he nodded and turned to Li Ri to know: "This man's name is Yu Jianjin, the driver who drove the car. He transported firewood for the Ma family. That day, the coachman of the Ma family had something to do, so he asked him to take the place to drive the car for Ma Shaoji, but something happened that day."

Li Rizhi nodded. It turned out that he was the coachman who carried firewood and was not a carriage. No wonder he was dressed so shabby. He probably didn't have much wages. The Ma family was not very good to him!

Cui Dongsheng signaled that Li Rizhi could ask. He had asked the coachman last time, but he didn't ask anything. He didn't come up with any new questions today, so Li Rizhi did it for him.

Li Rizhi understood and asked, "Yu Jianjin, why are you calling this name?"

Yu Jianjin was stunned. He had been asked all these days. Whether it was Cui Dongsheng, Ma Wenshang, or anyone else in the Ma family, they had asked him about Ma Shaoji. He was called today and probably asked again, but no matter what, he never expected that the young man standing behind the governor would suddenly ask such a question.

Yu Jianjin replied: "The villain's father dreamed that he went out to pick up a piece of gold before the villain was born, so after the villain was born, his father gave the villain this name."

"It's quite auspicious. The name of picking gold is good. It sounds better than picking silver and picking copper!" Li Rizhi smiled at the golden smug and asked again: "How many people do you have in your family and where do you live?"

Cui Dongsheng frowned slightly and thought to himself: "What are you asking about this? He is a coachman or a coachman of Chaicao. You just need to ask him about his affairs. What is the use of asking about his family? What is the case with such a person? What is the case?"

Ma Wenshang also looked at Li Rizhi and felt that the young man was a little confused. It was a waste of time to ask whether he was asking whether he was asking the gold family.

However, the two of them still gave Li Rizhi a chance, but did not stop, and allowed Li Rizhi to continue asking.

Yu Jianjin grinned. This young man was really interesting. When asked how many people there were in his family, would he still want to make friends with him?

Yu Jianjin said: "The little man has five people, his father and mother, his wife and son, all living in the farm of the master's house!"

Li Rizhi nodded again and asked, "How old is your son? How old is he? Can he speak?"

There were four people in the second hall. Except for Li Rizhi himself, the remaining three people thought it was a waste of time. Li Rizhi didn't know how to ask the case at all, and even Yu Jianjin thought Li Rizhi was a little confused.

Yu Jianjin swallowed his saliva and said, "If you say goodbye, the villain's son is five years old and can speak."

Li Rizhi nodded and said, "It seems that you got married very early, and your son is so old."

He paused for a moment and said, "I will ask you what I want to ask you, and you must answer truthfully, because I want to check with your family. I don't think you are like someone who can keep secrets. Of course, even if you can keep secrets, you will not keep them from your family, so your family will know more or less.

Especially your son, who is at the age of Tong Yan Wuji. If you don’t answer me truthfully and I will check with your family, if your son hears what you have said before, then I ask him but he is different from what you said, then guess what kind of punishment you will be punished.”

Yu Jianjin's face changed, but he never expected that the young man in front of him asked about his family's situation in order to prevent him from lying, and he had to verify his words. What should he do?
