'Ms. Zhu, I'm taking my leave. I'm afraid I'm already a hundred miles away when you read this letter. I'm really sorry and I don't know how to tell you. I understand your affection for me, but
I have a wife, and I am over forty years old this year. You are still young, so I can't delay you. Take care! We will see each other indefinitely! Qi Zhengzhong will stay!'
Zhu Minglan came to Qi Zhengzhong's small courtyard early in the morning, planning to continue to ask him for swordsmanship, and even planned to force him to express his stance today! However, when she entered the courtyard, Qi Zhengzhong, who had usually been waiting for her for a long time, was not in the courtyard today. Zhu Minglan was heartbroken.
I already felt uneasy. When I entered the room, I found that there was no one there except a letter on the table.
Big tears flowed down his cheeks, and he left just like that, without saying a final goodbye to her. The tears dripped on the letter paper, and the handwriting was blurred.
"Tie Zhu, why did you come back by yourself? Where is sir?" Mayor Lou Chengwen asked as he looked at the man walking back alone. There were many people watching him.
"Uncle Cheng, I originally found someone from out of town, but when I heard that we were offered money by Sankui Town, he refused to come!" Tie Zhu said frustratedly.
"Why, just because of that rumor? Even people from other towns know about it!" Lou Chengwen asked excitedly.
We have to start from the beginning. Sankui Town was called Biancheng Town in the early years, but from ten years ago to now, in the three emperor literary examinations, the top leaders were all picked back by students who went out here. Mayor Lou just came to the townspeople.
At the unanimous request, the border town was changed to Sankui Town.
But I don’t know why, about half a year ago, the teacher here suddenly died suddenly in the Yu family. There were no injuries. No matter how the autopsy was performed, he died of natural causes. Because the teacher was alone and there was no proof that it was homicide, the town government closed the case hastily.
, no one took it seriously, and another one was invited back. But not long after, another teacher who also taught in the town also died at home, also with no scars on his body. This time, the deceased had family members, and the town government
After multiple verifications, the case was still concluded to be natural death. Although it was bizarre, the husband’s family accepted it.
But since then, Sankui Town has recruited a total of six more gentlemen. Without exception, all of them were less than twenty days old. They all died in their own homes with no injuries and no signs before death. A series of autopsies showed that
for natural death.
Such a strange thing made people panic. No one knew why. Rumors also spread, saying that the mayor was mean and disrespectful to heaven and earth. He had invited the wrath of heaven and wanted to cut off the leader of Sankui Town this year, so he was not allowed here.
If there is a teacher who teaches, whoever comes will die!
Some scholars in the town did not dare to teach. The mayor had no choice but to send people to other towns to hire teachers with high salaries. Unexpectedly, the rumors spread so quickly that no one dared to come.
"Don't worry, Mayor. Tiezhu is back, and Dabao is not back. Maybe he can invite Mr. Wang back!" the master next to him said comfortingly.
"Mayor, Dabao is back, and he has invited his husband back!" A government servant rushed over to report the news.
"Really, that's great. Come with me to greet Mr.!" Lou Chengwen ordered.
Lou Chengwen came to the academy with a group of government officials, masters and some famous townspeople. He happened to see Dabao walking into the academy with a young man, and then followed him in.
"Are you sure I just need to keep an eye on these students and don't need to teach them anything?" Qi Zhengzhong looked at the academy and asked.
Since Qi Zhengzhong left the General's Mansion, he has been walking north for three months. Relying on his martial arts skills and hunting, he left Fengxian Kingdom and entered Wenluan Kingdom. When he saw a small town, he went in and defeated the
He sold the pelts of his prey and some uneaten meat to get some money, and then wanted to rest in the town for a month or two. It happened that someone was recruiting workers, so Qi Zhengzhong went up and saw the recruitment document saying: We are hiring in this town.
People, a monthly salary of five yuan in silver will be taken care of, food and accommodation! If you are interested, please contact Cuifeng Restaurant!
When Qi Zhengzhong saw that there was such a thing, he happened to want to live here for a while and go check it out, but he didn't specify who he was recruiting. Although he frowned, Qi Zhengzhong still found the person who posted the notice according to what was written above.
People are great treasures.
Dabao was drinking a small drink in the restaurant while watching the show on the stage. The mayor asked him to come here to recruit teachers, but when he heard that he was going to Sankui Town, he turned around and left without saying a word. Dabao had no choice.
All I could do was post a notice that was so clueless and just wait and see.
"Hello, are you looking for workers?" Dabao, who was looking at it intently, heard someone ask him from behind if he was looking for workers. He quickly looked back and saw a young man holding a sword in his hand, but he looked gentle.
, at first glance, he looks like a scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books.
"That's right, you're just here to apply? You don't look like you're from this town. Where are you from?" Dabao could tell at a glance that this man looked dusty and didn't look like a local at all.
It started spinning.
"Yeah, I'm from somewhere else. I'm traveling. I'm a little tired and want to find a place to stay temporarily for a few months. I happened to see you recruiting workers here, so I want to find a job and rest for a while." Qi Zhengzhong
No doubt it exists, just think of it as a step that people must go through when recruiting workers.
"Great!" Dabao stood up happily, but when he saw Qi Zhengzhong's puzzled eyes, he immediately suppressed his excitement. Naturally, he couldn't let Qi Zhengzhong know Qi Zhengzhong's secret, so as not to run away again. So he said: "You
Don’t get me wrong, I mean it’s great that you are not from this town, because I also came here from another town to recruit workers. Since you need to find a place to stay, why not come to our town, where you can work and rest at the same time?
The only requirement is that you have to work for half a year!”
"Half a year?" Qi Zhengzhong hesitated. He really wanted to stop and rest for a while, but half a year was a bit long. At the same time, he also secretly cursed why the planet was so big. He walked for three months before leaving Fengxian Kingdom.
This is because my own pace is fast enough.
Seeing that Qi Zhengzhong was still hesitating, Dabao was afraid that he would refuse, so he quickly paid and pulled Qi Zhengzhong away. As he walked, he said: "Look, it's only half a year, and I have five yuan of silver treasure every month. If you don't like it, you can pay it back when you come back."
It can be discussed again! Food is included, and after half a year of accommodation, you will have thirty yuan of silver treasure, which will be convenient for traveling!"
Dabao's enthusiastic explanation made Qi Zhengzhong a little suspicious. However, thinking about it, he had nothing worthy of the other party's plot, not to mention that he was not someone to be trifled with. A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. What conspiracy was there?
Bar.
Perhaps sensing Qi Zhengzhong's suspicion, Dabao said as soon as he left the town: "I haven't asked Mr. his name yet!"
Qi Zhengzhong no longer believed in Dabao. As he himself realized, there are people who recruit workers without asking other people's names. He said casually: "My name is Huang Shuo. I don't know what my job is yet. You can
Pull me away."
"Mr. Huang, to be honest, I knew you were a scholar as soon as I saw you. We are recruiting exactly the same gentleman! You are definitely suitable!" Dabao said.
"Teacher? Haha, the salary is really not low, but I have never taught students, let alone a scholar!" Qi Zhengzhong said blankly.
"Well, you are not a scholar? Are you kidding? Although you carry a sword, you look like a man who has read poetry and books." Dabao said.
"But I really don't know how to teach people! I'm afraid you have to hire someone else!" Qi Zhengzhong spread his hands helplessly.
Dabao looked at Qi Zhengzhong who didn't look like he was joking. He thought about it for a long time. The students in the town had a high academic atmosphere. He could feel it every time he walked out of the college. In addition, everyone had lowered their heads before.
Sankui Academy, why? The students there don't have to worry about being taught. Basically, they are self-taught. But now because of the mysterious death of my husband, I believe that as long as someone watches them, they can learn on their own.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can keep an eye on those students, and when others ask, just say that it's your first time teaching and you need to explore. As long as you can survive the past six months, that's all!" Dabao made a move.
