Wang Yuan hurriedly explained: "Second brother, don't get me wrong. She was tied up by Yi Zhanghong in Xiantian. I passed by and rescued her, and she was brought to the county town along the way!"

Li Sansi sneered: "Do you think I am a fool? There are five to six hundred bandits in the Tianshan Mountains. If she is really kidnapped, can you rescue her?"

Hu Mengying choked on her words.

No one would believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes.

Wang Yuan led ten people, not only rescued her, but also captured Hongye, the second boss, and extorted three thousand taels of gold, which in turn made the bandits cry.

Wang Yuan spread his hands: "Since you don't believe me, it's useless for me to explain!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

Li Sansi gritted his teeth: "When I return to Fu County, I will definitely tell Shihan about the good things you did in the county! Let's see if she will still be as devoted to you as before!"

Wang Yuan frowned: "Don't sow discord!"

"I……"

Just as Li Sansi was about to speak, a middle-aged man came over: "Brother Sansi, these two are!"

"Passersby!"

Li Sansi left with a straight face and rolled his sleeves, as if he was afraid that people would know about his relationship with Wang Yuan.

"hehe!"

Wang Yuan chuckled and shook his head.

This second brother-in-law did not recognize him at all and still did not recognize him as the son-in-law of the Li family.

Hu Mengying comforted her: "Sir, with your ability, sooner or later the Li family will recognize you!"

Wang Yuan shook his head: "Actually, I don't care whether the Li family recognizes it or not. I just don't want to make things difficult for Shihan. After all, they are her family!"

Li Shihan looked envious.

The young master considers sister Shihan so much, she is so happy.

Suddenly, the door of Wang's mansion opened, and a young man with a stern face walked out.

"Someone is coming from the Wang family!"

"He's not from the Wang family. He seems to be Lord Tongzhi. It's really him!"

"Tongzhi is the number one person under the mansion, why did he come to the Wang family to welcome guests!"

"Yan Tongzhi is a disciple of Mr. Haitian. It was under his guidance that he passed the Jinshi examination!"

"Then why haven't we seen each other before? The Wang family has contacts with Yan Tongzhi!"

"It's not like you don't know that Mr. Haitian never sees any official!"

Many scholars crowded forward!

When the traffickers and foot soldiers heard this, they immediately retreated with horrified expressions on their faces!

For people at the bottom, anyone in the government is scary, and if you can't deal with them, don't fight them!

Wang Yuan was surprised: "Do you know a very big official?"

He didn’t understand the official system of Daye, and his previous experience was limited and he only knew about the county government establishment!

Hu Mengying said: "Tong Zhi is an official of the fifth rank. He is the first person under the government. He is in charge of many things such as salt, grain, robbery, river defense, river engineering, water conservancy, cleaning up military records, and pacifying the people and barbarians in the county. Jiushan County has many things.

There is a salt transportation department in the salt well, so if you know the same person, you can buy salt."

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up: "Then let's go up too!"

In any case, this is also the Salt Transport Department, the nominal boss!

As long as you build a relationship and help pull the strings, things will be much easier to handle.

Understanding Wang Yuan's plan, Hu Mengying quickly followed.

Although the traders and lackeys left, there were still many scholars in front because of the Dinglongtai Poetry Club.

Hundreds of people were waiting in front, with Wang Yuan, Dahu and Hu Mengying at the end.

However, since there was an invitation, the three of them were not in a hurry, but waited patiently!

Many candidates also looked at Yan Tongzhi patiently, waiting for today's question.

Yan Fushi clasped his fists: "I've kept you waiting for so long!"

Three servants stood up, unfolded three large pieces of paper, and three questions appeared.

"A hundred useless people are scholars."

"Heaven and earth are my heart, and my heart is heaven and earth."

"How does a fool become a sage?"

A group of scholars frowned in thought!

The vendors and footmen who were watching the excitement all left in confusion, and no one wanted to be fooled again.

After all, I can’t even understand the question!

"What exactly does Mr. Haitian want to test us by asking these three questions?"

Hu Mengying frowned slightly. She was influenced by her father and read many books when she was young.

Now I’m looking at these three questions but I can’t figure them out!

Then look at the group of people who were promoted, all of them frowned and had no clue at all!

Even Li Sansi frowned and looked stumped!

"Huh!"

Looking at the title, Wang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Hu Mengying next to her was surprised and said: "Sir, have you mastered these three questions?"

Wang Yuan chuckled and waved: "Come over here!"

"Is this okay?"

Hu Mengying approached, Wang Yuan leaned in and whispered, hot breath sprayed on his neck, his pretty face immediately turned red, his whole body became hot, and he started to stutter when speaking.

She admired and believed Wang Yuan's courage and strategy, but she had doubts about his knowledge!

After all, knowledge depends on the imperial examination. Wang Yuan only passed the examination as a boy student, not even a scholar!

"I don't know either. Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, then show the invitation!"

Wang Yuan is really not sure!

His major is machinery and materials, and he has no research on traditional culture. However, he has taken some philosophy classes and memorized many professional terms.

These three questions made him feel a little familiar!

"also!"

Hu Mengying didn’t have high hopes, as there were so many candidates she hadn’t figured out yet!

Wang Yuan stood up and walked to Wang's Mansion: "Yan Tongzhi, I have the answer!"

Whoosh!

All eyes are focused.

"Who is this? You figured it out so quickly!"

“Looking unfamiliar, I don’t think I’ve seen him before in the Juren circle!”

"He is a boy from our county who didn't even pass the exam!"

"A child dares to answer Mr. Haitian's question. How audacious!"

"Hey, today's young people are willing to do anything to become famous!"

Upon hearing that Wang Yuan was just a boy, a group of people shook their heads in disdain and stopped looking at him.

Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren are all different in knowledge, and their ranks are extremely high!

"what are you doing?"

Looking at Wang Yuan passing by, Li Sansi scolded in a low voice: "I don't know your knowledge yet, don't try to show off here, otherwise you will be embarrassed!"

"Even if I am embarrassed, what does it have to do with the Li family?"

Seeing that his second brother-in-law was already speaking in this tone, Wang Yuan responded without any politeness!

For Shihan's sake, I let you do it once or twice, which is really embarrassing.

"you?"

Li Sansi frowned and choked!

Indeed, from beginning to end, the Li family never recognized Wang Yuan as their son-in-law.

Even if Wang Yuan made four sentences about the horizontal canal and proposed the strategy of demolishing the wall and spreading the land among the people!
