Xu Zhong was about to leave, but Xun Zhen stopped him again, took his hand, came to a quiet place, and said, "The county magistrate has moved to Wenxu County, asking for help in chasing you. If Xu County doesn't see you, maybe We will move to the surrounding counties. Xu-Jun, where are you going?"

Xu Zhong didn't hide it at all, and said, "Yangzhai Huang's family is a famous hero. I have a friend who knows his family. I wanted to go to the Huang family after I rescued my mother."

"The Huang family?"

The Huang family's name is like thunder, and few Yingchuan people don't know it. Xun Zhen pondered for a moment, then said, "The Huang family has relatives with the wet nurse of the emperor and is famous. If you can get the blessing of the Huang family, even if the county knows about it, you will definitely not be embarrassed, and you can rest easy."

With a smile on his face, he encouraged Xu Zhong and said: "Yuyang Yangqiu is a humiliation for his mother, and he kills the whole family of the county officials. Because he is well-known at home, and he is a commander of the Sili, he is deceitful and tidying the whole dynasty, and the capital is afraid of shocks. Although Xu Jun is desperate now, he must not give up on himself. With Jun Qi Festival, he will be able to be the pillar of the court in the future."

Yang Qiu was appointed as Sili School Captain, and during the extermination of the clan, he served Wang Fu and others, and killed Taiwei Duan Jiong, all of which happened last year, because all those killed were high-ranking officials and officials, and the world knew it. Although Yang Qiu was eventually convicted and died because of this, the man's husband took his life seriously, and he couldn't eat five cauldrons or cook them in five cauldrons. Xun Zhen's exhortation was exactly what Xu Zhong wanted, and he changed his face and said: "Zhong Xiaoren is Qianshou, he doesn't understand scriptures, his family has no money, he dare not ask for a noble person, but he will forcefully eliminate violence and wipe out injustices. I wish. Xunjun's advice, Zhong will keep it in mind." Looking at Xun Zhen again, he was not simply grateful.

After paying homage again, he poured out his pockets and greeted everyone. He collected more than a thousand dollars in total and handed them all to Xun Zhen, saying, "As soon as Xu Zhong goes, he can't come every day. My mother and brother usually eat and live. Please wear it, Xun Jun please take care of it."

How could Xun Zhen be willing to pick him up? Said sarcastically: "Xu Jun, you have a strange festival, can't I do strange things? You are so vulgar, who do you think of me?"

Xu Zhong offered three more offers, but Xun Zhen refused to accept it. Xu Zhong had no choice but to bow down again and said, "I only hate that Xun Jun came to Fanyang to take office late! I can't get to know each other sooner!"

Xun Zhen smiled and said: "There is a saying: Tilting up as old as before, and as old as new. It's not too late to meet today." He personally sent Xu Zhong and others away, stood at the door, and watched them whistling away.

The night shrouded the earth, and the stars twinkled. In the wheat field, an official road is straight. Xu Zhong and more than 30 people went down the front steps of the house, then extinguished the torches, divided them into east, west, north and south, scattered into the wheat fields, and soon disappeared into the night.

Du Mai and the others stood around Xun Zhen, and the Fan brothers let out a sigh of relief in unison.

Fan Shang wiped his forehead and said, "It scared me to sweat!" His voice was vibrato. He was the least timid, and he was holding on just now, and his legs were weak. His brother Fan Tan was not much better. After all, there were more than 30 people who came here, so who wouldn't be afraid?

Du Mai looked at Xun Zhen with admiration, and said, "When Xu Zhong's party came, they were in groups, facing each other with swords and crossbow, and I was also horrified, but Xun Jun was not afraid at all. Such courage really makes us ashamed."

Xun Zhen said, "To be honest, I'm also afraid."

"Huh? Then why did I see Xun Jun so calm?"

Xun Zhen said in his heart, "Because I can't solve the problem because I'm afraid. The more afraid you act, the more courageous Xu Zhongpeng's party will be." These words are not for outsiders. He smiled and didn't answer Du Mai any more. Seeing Xu Zhong and others Walking away, he said, "Mr. Huang, close the courtyard door." Turning around and returning to the courtyard, he respectfully asked Mother Xu to return to the house.

Mother Xu was very sad. She felt sorry for her son and felt ashamed of Xun Zhen, and said, "Azhen, Zhonglang is here tonight. There are so many of them, will they cause you trouble?"

Xun Zhen didn't care, and said, "What trouble could there be? It was quiet at night, and they were whistling around. Even if someone saw them on the way, how would they know that they were coming to my pavilion? How do you know what they are doing here? Even if someone guesses why they came here, what if they don't have any real evidence?..., A-Mum, don't think about it! ..., Younger, let's help grandma back to the house and rest early."

When Xu Zhong surrendered, Mother Xu was able to endure it because she knew benevolence and righteousness, and Xun Zhen treated her so well that she could not implicate him. But in the end, Xu Zhong was her own son, so how could she bear to watch him surrender and die? Therefore, she was very grateful to Xun Zhen for refusing to arrest Xu Zhong and let him go. The more grateful I am, the more ashamed I feel.

After Xun Zhen helped her back to the house, she took Xun Zhen's hand, prevented him from leaving, and asked Xu Ji to kneel and salute him. How could Xun Zhen agree? Repeatedly declined. After talking for almost a night, Xun Zhen and Xu Ji didn't come out until Mother Xu fell asleep.

"Mum is really a good person!" Xun Zhen turned her face to look at the bedroom and thought when she left the house.

...

The sky is bright.

The morning breeze was cold, blowing the branches and leaves in the courtyard, Xu Ji shivered unconsciously, but Xun Zhen was refreshed. He smiled and said, "I love autumn and winter the most throughout the year. What season do you like in the youngest season?"

"I like summer. . . . Autumn and winter are bleak and cold, how could eldest brother like it?"

"Autumn and winter are cold, but not necessarily depressing." Speaking of this, Xun Zhen suddenly remembered a poem and recited, "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely. On, I will cite poetry to Bixiao."

In the Han Dynasty, there were no poetic forms such as quatrains and rhythmic poems, but there were still seven-character poems, but they were rare. Most of them were Yuefu, folk songs, and there were also some folk proverbs. Xu Ji had read "Poems" and knew some Yuefu and folk songs. He heard Xunzhen recite such a poem. Although it was an unusual seven-character poem, he was not very surprised. The words are simple, and there is no beauty to recall, but the vigorous and enterprising spirit in the poem is ready to come out.

He recited it twice silently and asked, "Is this poem written by the eldest brother?"

Xun Zhen was moved, and blurted out these few lines of poems. At this time, she heard Xu Ji's question, so she couldn't answer for a while, so she vaguely asked, "How do you feel about the writing?"

"It's catchy, full of aggressive optimism."

Xun Zhen's mood at this time was indeed "aggressive and optimistic".

Watching him come to Tingshe these days, basically everything went smoothly.

Although the people in the pavilion have different temperaments, they all respect and cooperate with him.

The residents of Tingbu have not been able to fully understand it, but they are at least familiar with the situation of the three li, and because they refused the bribes of Andingli and put Wu Gui in the prison, they vaguely felt the awe of the residents of the two li li.

More importantly, serving Xu's mother was rewarded, not only by Xu Zhong's worship, but also by Xu Zhong's party. Although this is just the beginning, Xu Zhong may still be grateful to him, and he is still estranged emotionally, and Xu Zhong's cronies are just looking at Xu Zhong's face, but as long as he works harder, he will not worry about getting better returns.

It has only been a few days since I worked in the pavilion, and I have already gotten such a situation, which can be described as a "good start". Even with the trouble of believing in the Way of Peace among the elderly, he was suddenly relieved, facing the autumn wind and feeling refreshed.

He changed the subject and said with a smile: "Youngjie is young, just like summer, and the sun is like fire. You like summer, it's just right for your age. . . . You are fifteen years old this year?"

"It's almost sixteen."

"Read ten thousand volumes of books and travel ten thousand miles. The former sage Wang Shigong said goodbye to his parents at the age of eleven and went out to study. I am not a person without ambition, so why don't I travel abroad to study?" Many scholars have left their homes to travel far, seeking famous teachers, or to study, or to make a name for themselves. Xu Ji answered honestly: "It's not that I don't want to go abroad to study, but I don't have much money left at home."

"How can a man be troubled by money? You are also from Yingyin. You should have heard of the name 'Zhengjun', right?"

"Did the eldest brother say Yanling Yu Shiyou?"

"It is this man."

"Yu Shiyou's family was poor and lacked food, and he worked as a servant for the students, and he became famous all over the world. He made the lower seat in the imperial school "the most expensive", and was respected by the doctors of the students. Younger, no matter how poor your family is, can you be poorer than Yu Shiyou? You If you are interested in learning, I can help you with some money."

"Eldest brother is kind, and Xu Shen leads it. Only now that my brother is away, I can't leave my mother alone in the pavilion."

"If you don't worry about your mother, you don't have to travel far. It's not like it used to be. If a hundred years ago, more study tours went to Chang'an and Luoyang, but now because of the party's restraint, many great scholars and scholars in Yingchuan and Runan have abandoned their official positions and returned to their hometowns. There are more than half of the scholars in the world, and in our two counties, there is an endless stream of foreign scholars. You have the convenience of being close to the water tower, so you can study in these two places, and get the bright moon first.”

It was not a whim that Xun Zhen advised Xu Ji to go on a study tour. Is there any way to win Xu Zhong's love more than after treating Xu Ji well and then treating Xu Ji well? However, this matter is not urgent, and it is impossible to persuade Xu Ji at once to let him leave his mother at ease and go abroad to study. Seeing that Xu Ji was unwilling, he stopped talking and said with a smile, "Mum is so lucky to have two filial sons, the younger one and the second brother!"

...

Xun Zhen and Xu Ji were talking under the tree in the backyard~www.wuxiaspot.com~Huang Zhong, Du Mai and others in the front yard also got up.

Huang Zhong opens the door, feeds the chickens, raises the horses, and cleans.

Chen Bao and Cheng Yan were in the courtyard, one took out the bow and arrow for adjustment, the other lifted the rough stone, and tried to use his strength.

Du Mai went out and turned around, returned to the room, sat cross-legged on the bed, pulled out the knife, tried his hand at the edge, and suddenly sighed.

Fan's brothers are all in the house, Fan Shang is still asleep and has not woken up.

Fan Tan just got up for a while, and was sitting on the bed hugging the quilt when he heard Du Mai sigh and asked, "Old Du, why are you sighing?"

"Although Xu Zhong was not able to kidnap Xu's mother last night, if Xun Jun let him go, the consequences would be bad."

"Last night Xu Zhong had a lot of friends, and just a few of us couldn't keep him."

"That's what you said, but do you think the county magistrate will listen to our explanation? If the matter is exposed, not only Xunjun, but also you and I will be punished."

"Didn't we talk about it last night? We are the only ones who know about it, and Xu Zhong's cronies. Xu Zhong's cronies won't say it, and we won't say it either. How could the county magistrate know about it?"

"More than 30 of them came and left with great momentum. They didn't know if they disturbed the prison door when they went out, or whether they disturbed the pavilion on the way. I'm afraid it's not easy to hide it, and don't forget, there are still people in the prison. Lock up a Wugui!"

The Fan brothers were all shocked: "Oh, I forgot about this person last night!" Although the prison is at the end of the backyard, it is far from the front yard, and there are courtyard walls and courtyard gates in the middle, but more than 30 people came last night. , making such a big movement, it is not ruled out that Wu Gui heard it.

Fan Tan complained angrily: "Why didn't you say it last night! I didn't mention it until now, too, too!"

Fan Shang asked in a panic, "What should I do then?"

Du Mai also had no idea, he lowered his head and stroked the knife, silent.
