At night, Yu Canghai walked out of the mountain gate alone. After half a month of running around, he arrived at a villa. When the concierge saw Yu Canghai, he first led him to a courtyard to wait. Then the concierge came to a quiet room to pay respect.
He knocked on the door and said, "Sir, Yu Canghai is here."
An old, slightly hoarse and low voice came: "Ask him to go to the study and wait."
Yu Canghai was a little restless in the study. When he saw the old man, he hurried forward to report: "Sir, I have encountered some problems with what you told me last time."
The old man raised his eyebrows and asked calmly: "What's wrong?"
Yu Canghai, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "Lin Zhennan from the Fuwei Escort Bureau gave birth to a good son, and his son Lin Pingzhi made great progress in the imperial examination..."
After Yu Canghai finished reporting the situation that Hou Renying had found out, he continued: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to handle the things that your Excellency ordered before. Unless you can support me, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it on my own.
"
After hearing the situation, the old man was silent for a long time, then said coldly and expressionlessly: "I know, in that case, you don't have to worry about this matter."
Yu Canghai still wanted to say something, but the old man had already waved his hand to ask him to leave. He was very afraid of the old man in front of him who seemed to be in old age and did not dare to show any slightness. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still left the room respectfully.
The old man looked unwilling when he saw Yu Canghai leaving, and couldn't help but smile scornfully. Then he summoned a secret guard and said: "You will set off for Fuzhou City later. Your mission is to investigate a person named Lin Pingzhi. Remember
This is a secret investigation, so the other party must not be aware of it, and you must not act without my instructions, otherwise, huh..."
Upon hearing this, the secret guard replied categorically: "I will obey your orders and never dare to disobey!"
The old man sighed and said: "Now the new head of the family is no better than the predecessor, and he has less dirt in his eyes. We have to keep a low profile now and can't be as public as before. I won't be able to protect him if something goes wrong."
"Don't worry, sir. Wuyou's plan will not cause trouble to you. Brothers now know how to act with caution."
The old man nodded and said: "When you leave, go to the warehouse to get the Wuyin number plate. The local Jin Yiwei will assist you then."
After hearing the details of the mission, the secret guard slowly retreated, leaving the old man alone in the study. After sitting alone for a while, the old man got up and left the study and walked towards the quiet room.
After Yu Canghai left the villa, he went to a nearby town to find an inn. He looked gloomy along the way. Although the old man did not specify the reason for the old man's instructions, Yu Canghai guessed that it was for the ancestral evil spirits of the Lin family.
The sword manual went away, because the master Chang Qingzi was defeated by the sword technique of warding off evil spirits.
Yu Canghai has always been worried about this matter, but later on, the evil-repelling sword technique lost its original power in the hands of Lin Yuantu's descendants, which puzzled him. Yu Canghai had long wanted to take a look at the evil-repelling sword manual.
Seeing what the mystery was, the old man's previous order was exactly what he wanted, but this time the old man told him to stop taking care of it. He was really unwilling to do so, but he couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the old man's methods.
"Alas! That's all, that's all, we can only think about it in the long term."
Although he said this, he couldn't help but want to acquire evil sword skills in his heart. After returning to Qingcheng Mountain, Yu Canghai ordered another disciple, Hong Renxiong, to go to Fuzhou City again to inquire about the news. Although he was forced by the old man's former power, he could not
He dared to act rashly, but was unwilling to give up, so he sent a disciple to keep an eye on him and wait until the opportunity came to take action.
After listening to Yu Canghai's instructions, Hong Renxiong couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. The experiences of his senior brother Hou Renying in the past few days were still vivid in his mind, but he did not dare to disobey his master's orders, so he had to accept the task and left with a heavy heart.
.
Li Jie will go to the capital tomorrow to take part in the examination. Mrs. Wang has been in a bad mood for the past two days. The thought of her son traveling thousands of miles away makes her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had lost her appetite in the past two days, Li Jie said: "Mom, if you fail the exam this time, I will leave immediately after the exam is over. If you succeed, you will have a return home leave by then. It won't be possible at that time."
You and dad should follow me to the capital."
Mrs. Wang said: "Bah! Bah! Bah! Don't say depressing words. I also hope that you will come back as a Jinshi for your mother. However, people often say that living in the capital is not easy. With our family's family background, it may be a bit difficult to establish a foothold in the capital.
difficulty."
Seeing Mrs. Wang's move, Li Jie struck while the iron was hot and said: "Yes, yes, yes, children shouldn't say depressing words. After you pass the Jinshi exam, I will take you and your father to the capital together. As for the expenses, I will cover them then."
On me."
Mrs. Wang smiled when she heard Li Jie's words: "It's just nonsense. How can you, a child, have the ability to make money? Your father and I will think of a solution when the time comes."
After Li Jie comforted Mrs. Wang, she was in a good mood and no longer had the previous worries. Li Jie did not explain Mrs. Wang's doubts about her ability to make money. It is not difficult for people from later generations to make some money.
Just do it if it’s not necessary, just take out a few things when you really need them.
The next day, everyone in the Lin family came to the pier to see each other off. Fang Kun was very unhappy that Li Jie took his sister instead of him this time. He didn't have a good look along the way. Fang Yi couldn't help but shook her head when she saw her brother's appearance, and then said: "Brother
, I kept you this time just to take care of you. After the young master reaches high school, he will take the whole family to the capital."
Fang Kun smiled stiffly when he heard his sister's words and said, "Brother knows, you must pay attention to safety when you go to the capital this time. Don't go out alone without Pingzhi by your side."
"Brother, I know! You have been saying it since the day before yesterday, and I can remember it by heart. You won't eat randomly, don't go out alone, and don't expose your money..."
Li Jie smiled when he heard the conversation between the brother and sister, and then said to Fang Kun: "Brother Fang, don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Fang Kun's expression suddenly changed when he saw Li Jie speaking. He looked at Li Jie with a sullen face, not giving him a good look, and snorted heavily. This time Li Jie came to him and said that he was not worried about the safety of his family and asked him to stay.
To prevent accidents at home, only the two of them knew about this matter. Although Fang Kun mentally agreed, he was inevitably unhappy when they parted.
When they arrived at the pier, they saw Lin Tingang and Lin Lan from a distance. When they got closer, they greeted each other. Seeing that it was time to sail, Mrs. Wang couldn't stop the tears in her eyes and took Li Jie's hand.
Choking with sobs, he said: "Be careful when you are outside. Don't get hungry or cold. I heard that the winter in the capital is very cold. Remember to wear more clothes. Remember to wear the fur coat prepared for you."
Li Jie comforted her again. Seeing that Mrs. Wang's mood improved, she immediately started boarding the ship. Although Fang Kun's face was still cold, his eyes looked at Fang Yi with deep reluctance. Fang Yi saw
The corner of her brother's eyes were sore. Li Jie saw this and held her hand. Feeling the warmth from Li Jie's hand, Fang Yi also let go of the sadness of separation.
