Chapter 759 Healthy Competition

"yes."

Looking at the rusty mandarin ducks on the patch of Duke's official uniform, Ning Caichen subconsciously fell to the ground, grabbed his legs, and shouted:

"Student Ning Caichen has met the magistrate."

Scholars are all official reserves.

Of course, there must be fame.

And Ning Caichen has studied hard for 20 years. Although he is only a scholar, he can only become a master after further progress, and barely has the qualifications to be an official. But even so, he is still qualified to call himself a student in front of Duke. A pull relationship.

"I know that you have grievances, and everyone locked up here has them."

Duke didn't want to get entangled in such trivial matters, so he turned his eyes to the master and asked, "Do you understand what to do?"

"Yes Yes."

The master nodded again and again, and promised: "First ask the jailer to prepare fresh meals for these people, and then the officials will confirm one by one, avenge their grievances, and register the contents in a book, and after the adults have reviewed it and confirmed that they are correct, they will be released immediately. "

"anything else?"

"..."

Duke's words made the master's heart tighten, his mind was thinking crazily, and his forehead was sweating.

As the saying goes, companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger.

The magistrate is not the emperor, but in the Jinhua mansion, his words are definitely more effective than the imperial decree, and the tiger ancestors are ten thousand times more terrifying.

When thinking about it, the master suddenly thought of the answer, and couldn't help but raised his voice: "Give money, yes, give money!"

"Well, don't forget to make proper compensation."

In order to prevent the underlings from making a fuss, Duke added: "I will be detained for ten days without charge, and I will be paid one tael of silver. If I have been punished and there is a phenomenon of torture, I must give sufficient compensation."

"You can figure it out."

From the beginning to the end, Duke did not talk about the fact that there was no official bank or food in the treasury.

And the master was very tactful, nodding his head constantly, never rebutting a word, because he had already made up his mind, before tomorrow morning, he asked the rich households in the city, officials big and small to collect money and food together to fill up the official treasury of Jinhua Mansion.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

Ning Caichen had no edges and corners, and stayed in the dark prison for another two months. Now that he was able to go out, he could also hear the compensation. For a while, he was very grateful.

After all, he is just a scholar.

Thesis is not a great talent.

In terms of martial arts, it is even worse.

Except for her infatuation with the female ghost Xiaoqian, there is nothing else to praise. Even saving the one she loves requires kneeling on the ground and begging Yan Chixia to take her life for help.

When I first saw this scene, both Duke and Lu Li outside the mirror couldn't help but sigh:

Useless is a scholar.

"Hey, this scholar doesn't need to be interrogated. Give him ten taels of silver, take him to take a bath, change his clothes and come to the mansion to find me."

After finishing speaking, Duke waved his hand, indicating that Ning Caichen didn't need to say any more words of thanks.

Instead, he set his sights on the unkempt old man next to him.

"Zhuge Wolong?"

"Exactly."

Although Zhuge Wolong was curious about how Duke was, it didn't prevent him from straightening his back and putting on an attitude of an outsider:

"May I ask Fu Zun what advice you have?"

At this time, the master also regained his composure, and quickly reminded: "My lord, the prisoner in the entire prison may be wrongly arrested, but he is absolutely impossible. Without the court's pardon, it is best not to let him go."

As he spoke, he leaned into Duke's ear and popularized Zhuge Wolong's "brilliant deeds" for him.

Guessing what the master was going to say, Zhuge Wolong simply paralyzed on the straw, raised his legs, swayed slightly, and put on an indifferent attitude.

In fact, for him, there is really nothing in the world to be afraid of.

Life is a prison.

These words came from the mouth of Zhuge Wolong. After decades of imprisonment, his life became more and more frank. Even if he ate cockroaches and flies, he felt that he tasted almost the same as chicken.

Not to mention death, in his view, this is no different from liberation, anyway, Zhuge Wolong has seen through the world.

"Human Way"

Duke ignored his master, let alone Zhuge Wolong's contemptuous attitude, and focused his eyes on the ground.

There is a book there.

"Want to see it?"

"I'll give it to you."

Regarding this, Duke shook his head. He didn't think that Zhuge Wolong knew any mysterious methods, but he was just a down-and-out literati with many talents and ups and downs in his official career.

The works written are nothing more than records of the vicissitudes of life and the darkness of officialdom.

If you have this spare time, it is better to manage the Jinhua Mansion well and sweep away the demons entrenched nearby.

"I can't talk about teaching. I wanted to ask you to be born to help manage the Jinhua Mansion, but judging from the attitude of the master, I think I don't want to get involved in the secular world, so I don't bother."

Duke is not Uncle Liu, he has the perseverance to visit the thatched cottage, and he doesn't want to waste a lot of time and energy, so he said to the master:

"Provide Mr. Zhuge with pens, ink, paper, inkstone, desk, three meals a day on time every day, and ask the jailer to bring in two oil lamps at night."

After the words fell, he turned and left.

It would be biased to say that Ning Caichen is useless, and Duke can use him to get to know Yan Chixia, the venomous chief catcher who is both Buddhist and Taoist.

By the way, let's take a look at the dryad's grandmother who has been sealed for a hundred years. This dryad, who is neither male nor female, nor yin nor yang, has a way to catch up with the old Montenegro demon.

"Uncle, I think this mansion is a good official, he intends to..."

"Hey, it's useless to talk too much. Now that your grievances have been cleared, and you have been favored by nobles, hurry up and get out. I can live a nourishing life here."

"Didn't you listen to what he said? You don't have to worry about three meals a day, and you still have good food and drink. You can write whatever you want, and you won't change it even for an emperor."

The sound came from afar.

The master who stayed in prison felt that his eyes were opened, and he did not expect that there are such weird people in the world.

However, after that, he didn't care about emotion.

"Ask someone to remove the haystack behind Mr. Wolong. There is a tunnel there. Ask two clever jailers to go in and see where it leads."

Duke's voice sounded.

The entire prison fell silent, especially Ning Caichen, Zhuge Wolong, and Master. The three of them had different thoughts, but they were all very surprised.

"According to the normal trend, Mr. Fu should be escorted to Beijing on the day of Frost's Descent, and Zhuge Wolong will release Ning Caichen so that he can meet the Kunlun Sect warlock Zhiqiu Yiye..."

General Ma Mian took his gaze away from the Xuanguang mirror, and continued: "Now, the plot is becoming more and more beyond recognition."

"Don't worry about these." King Mingling Dharma Body replied calmly, "Just follow the plan."

The first competitor Lu Li met appeared, and it turned out to be his good friend Duke. This guy now has a good location, so he can follow the vines first and get in touch with the old demon of Montenegro.

But so what?

There are so many positions for the King of Hades in the ten halls, each of the trio is divided into three positions, and there is still one left.

Moreover, Black Mountain is not so easy to deal with. A pig who has practiced for thousands of years has an unimaginably high level of knowledge, not to mention the underworld mountain range, which is not easy to follow.

"The affairs in the city at night will be left to you two. I want to leave the city as soon as possible to meet that mysterious Mr. Tiantai."

I wrote a new book in the afternoon, and this one was written a little late, and there was a big chapter at night, about three or four thousand words, not too long.
