Chapter 10 I am Lu Qubing from Yangping

"I'll get the school license."
The person familiar with the case has now been replaced.
This is a fat man with big ears, but his fatness is completely different from Zhang Cheng in the countryside.
He was completely white, or maybe it was a hot day, so he also tore off his sleeves, revealing his white flesh, which was actually a bit pink and tender.
Sweat flows down, crystal clear.
He narrowed his eyes, held a fan in his hand, and smiled particularly kindly and kindly.
There were two guards standing next to him. Both of them were exceptionally tall and strong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Their bodies were not at all smaller than Taozi's.
The man looked at Taozi in front of him and asked with a smile: "Han? Where are you from?"
"She is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan in the former Han Dynasty."
"Pfft~"
The attendants on both sides could barely hold back.
But the fat man didn't laugh. He asked in surprise: "Aren't you and An Le Gong the same family?"
Liu Taozi pursed her lips and was speechless for a moment.
But the man was very happy. He said to his left and right: "This shows how prosperous the literary style is nowadays. In the past, small officials like this were forced to conquer, which was indecent. Nowadays, only the civilized and martial arts can see such a grand event!"
Both of them nodded, but did not dare to laugh anymore.
The man asked again: "What's your family situation like? Can you possibly afford to pay the three hundred dollars?"
"Do you need my help?"
"Money is enough."
"Okay, that's fine. I'm in charge of classics at the county government office. My surname is Fei. If anything happens, you can come find me."
The man said generously, collected the money, and quickly ordered his subordinates to get the school license and handed it to Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi saluted and walked to the county school with the school badge.
The man looked at Taozi as he was going away, his eyes running up and down his back, and his whole body became increasingly hot and dry.
"What a mighty young man."
The strong man behind him frowned and asked roughly: "Fat man! Are you going to change your mind?"
"Didn't the two of us serve well?!"
Hearing their questions, Fei Zongxian smiled guiltily, "How could it be? I just saw talented people and wanted to promote them."
He secretly looked at the departing young man again.
The eyes are dim.
That's the way a hungry wolf looks at a lamb.
This time, with the school card, the officials at the door finally stopped blocking me.
He looked at the card game, glanced at the fat man in the distance, and then took a deep look at Tao Zi, gesturing for him to follow him.
The mansion is huge, with roads extending in all directions, and trees on both sides of the road. A main road leads to the tall inner courtyard directly opposite, and the door is locked.
That was not Liu Taozi's destination. The old official slowly led Liu Taozi through several paths, and finally stopped outside the inner courtyard gate in the westernmost corner.
The door here is open, and the courtyard walls are dark and dirty. In terms of temperament, it is much shorter than other courtyards.
Liu Taozi looked at the courtyard in front of her with calm eyes.
This is a brand new starting point.
"Brother Taozi!"
A man walked out of the hospital in surprise. The moment he saw Liu Taozi, his eyes lit up.
Seeing this man, the old official took a few steps back and said, "This man is here to learn the law."
After saying that, the old official left in a hurry without looking back.
The person standing in front of Liu Taozi at this moment was the official who had handled the case for him at the county government not long ago.
He took Liu Taozi's hand very familiarly, "This is fate! Brother Taozi! Why didn't you tell me earlier that day that you were here to study? I would have just brought you here!"
"Come, come, come in!"
He just grabbed Liu Taozi's hand and walked into the inner courtyard.
A stench came to my face.
The inner courtyard was extremely dirty, with all kinds of old and new dirt intertwined on the ground.
The smell is enough to suffocate anyone who has just entered the door in an instant.
The ground almost turned black.
There is a well in the middle of the courtyard, and houses are arranged on three sides. They are all very small houses, similar to the ones Liu Taozi lived in in the past. Several people secretly looked at the newcomers from the door, with wary faces.
"Brother Taozi, my surname is Lu, I have two names: Qubing, and my first name is Rongzu."
"Temporary appointment. History of the Law School Office."
"Earlier, I went to the county government office to help take care of you. Something big happened outside, and many people haven't come back yet. I really didn't expect to see you again!"
He enthusiastically took Taozi to a villa, "Look, how about you live here?"
"We stay here, eat, and study here on weekdays. I will give you the book later, and you can stay in this bed."
"By the way, there are fixed meals every day. At that time, someone will come into the hospital to put food. You just go and eat."
"There are about twenty people here in the law office, all of whom are preparing to become officials just like you."
As soon as this man opened his mouth, he kept talking and chattering, and his lips kept colliding with each other without stopping.
"We can take a break once in ten days. We just took a break yesterday. You have to wait for another ten days. The rest of the time, you can't leave the hospital."
"If you encounter outsiders coming, lock the door and don't contradict those people."
While he was talking endlessly, someone outside suddenly called his name.
Lu Qubing glanced at Taozi reluctantly, "Brother Taozi, I'll come back later!"
The man left, and Liu Taozi suddenly felt that her ears were much clearer.
This inner room is very small, with an aisle in the middle and two beds on both sides. The other bed is very clean and there is a dagger hanging on the wall, but nothing else.
Taozi made her bed, sat on it, took out the cake from her arms, and ate it.
The courtyard was extremely quiet, no sound of reading could be heard, and the empty courtyard outside could be seen from the window.
The courtyard showed a heat wave in the sun, and even the light became blurred.
Tao Zi drank up the water bag, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and rested.
I don't know how much time passed, but the courtyard also became dark, and the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard.
“Bang!!”
There was a loud noise.
The door was violently knocked open.
Liu Taozi quickly turned over, sat on the bed, and looked at the door.
A group of people staggered into the house and soon blocked the entire room. They looked down at Liu Taozi on the bed from different angles.
The leader was standing in front of Liu Taozi. He lowered his head and his eyes wandered back and forth on Liu Taozi's body and the package beside him.
"Perhaps you have never learned the principle of respecting teachers and respecting morality?"
"Since you have come to study, why don't you come to meet your brothers?"
Liu Taozi smelled strong malice and greed from them.
He didn't speak.
Several people waited for a while, but when they saw that he didn't reply, one of them got angry and slapped him, "How dare you be so rude?!"
The other people hurriedly blocked him.
The leader spoke again, "There are rules in the county school. A newcomer like you has to meet many brothers, exchange their names, remember everyone's names, and meet them sooner or later in the future."
"We in Daqi attach great importance to morality and etiquette. You cannot study without etiquette. This is also to teach you how to behave. Are you dumb?"
Liu Taozi never spoke, and the leader was also a little angry.
Taozi raised her head and stared at the leader indifferently. The leader didn't dare to look at him anymore.
"You are so presumptuous! Did you learn this way of life from your mother?!"
The leader yelled loudly.
The corner of Liu Taozi's left eye trembled, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.
"What are you doing?!"
Suddenly someone shouted outside.
The people who were blocked in the room hurriedly vacated their seats, and Lu Qubing walked in angrily with a frown on his face.
"If you don't go back to study so late, why are you gathering here?"
"Go back! Go back to me!!"
Hearing his cry, several people did not dare to refute, they just glared at Liu Taozi and left one after another.
Lu Qubing watched them leave one by one. After they were far away, he closed the door.
He put the book in his hand aside and then looked at Liu Taozi.
"These people are cruel and ruthless, but I saved your life!"
"The leader is a Qihu. I don't think he came here to study, if it weren't for me."
He muttered a few times and naturally sat on the bed opposite Liu Taozi.
"Brother Taozi, don't worry too much. As long as I'm here, these people won't dare to cause trouble. They are only a few days away from taking the exam soon."
"In the past, these small officials were recruited by force and without a salary, there was no one to take the job. Now that the salary is given, a group of people come to fight for it. This is the way of the world."
"You weren't given a salary in the past?"
Liu Taozi spoke.
Lu Qubing nodded, "Yes, it's not just the petty officials who don't get salaries, but even the officials don't get salaries! It was only after Emperor Wei Xiaowen that officials got salaries. As for the salaries of officials, that was under Wen Xiang
Only after the emperor."
"It's a pity that Emperor Wenxiang was killed by the cook because of his martial arts skills."
"Your Majesty is even more extraordinary today. In the past, the county government and county schools were not what they are today. No one dared to cause trouble, and everyone was virtuous."
Lu Qubing said, his eyes full of nostalgia, but his tone became heavier.
"History of Lu Ling."
"Um?"
"I'm going to rest."
"OK!"
Lu Qubing nodded and climbed onto the bed opposite.
Facing Tao Zi's eyes, he explained: "It's like this. The other students all live in a room with four people. I live in a room with two people. There happens to be no other place to live, so you can live with me! I can do the same in the future.
Take care of you."
Liu Taozi was silent for a moment and then asked: "Lu Lingshi said something happened outside the city earlier?"
"Yes, but this matter is a county government secret and cannot be disclosed to outsiders."
"Then forget it."
"Ah, it doesn't matter! I'm telling you, don't ask for external reports!"
"This matter, it's a long story! It's all related to Pengcheng County AD Shao!"
"This person is from the Later Wei clan. I heard that Your Majesty summoned him and asked him: Why was Liu Xiu able to revive the Han Dynasty?"
"This person actually answered: It's because Wang Mang failed to kill the Liu family completely."
"Then His Majesty ordered the arrest of all members of the Yuan clan, from old to young, and took them to the Zhang River, stabbed them to death with spears, and threw their bodies into the water to feed the fish."
"I heard that someone jumped into the water to escape, so I sent more than a hundred knights to track it down. As a result, three knights lost contact with us."
"Hearing that His Majesty was furious, the county magistrate had already gone to plead guilty, and the county officials went out to search."
Lu Qubing was talking vigorously when he heard snoring from the side.
Lu Qubing hesitated for a moment and could only close his eyes obediently.
Even though he was lying down, he was still whispering something.
