Changzhi had a list in his hand, knowing that the scholars of the Ding family had lost their reputation, but the list did not state that the company borrowed money and heard a cry again, and Changzhi felt heavy in his heart and walked over.

The servant stopped him and said, "There is danger ahead."

The guard dressed as a servant also whispered: "It's better to be careful."

Changzhi waved his hand, "Nothing is wrong, let's go over and take a look."

When he walked to the door of Ding's house, an old woman was lying in a pool of blood in the yard. A couple and a few children were kneeling beside the woman. The five debt collectors were stunned.

One of the men said: "Unfortunate."

The kneeling man grabbed the knife on the ground and his eyes were red, "Do you say it again?"

The man's eyes were very sarcastic, "Master Scholar, no, I'm not a scholar for a long time. Look, the powerful one dares to attack me? Humph, the old lady committed suicide. If you want to hate her, don't hate me. You should hate your elder brother who died early."

The man seemed to have been exhausted, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. Two older children froze, with fear and confusion all over his eyes.

Chang Zhi also got all the news from the conversation between the villagers. The man on his knees was the person he was looking for. The one who borrowed money was Brother Ding Jue. He borrowed some money when he went to participate in the autumn examination. He was almost sure that he failed the autumn examination. The old mother at home was seriously ill again. The eldest brother at home couldn't borrow the money and was desperate and was cheated of borrowing money.

You can imagine what happened next. After returning from the exam, you have to pay back the money you borrowed and the money you borrowed. After selling the last land at home, you have to pay back the money you borrowed. But once you borrowed it, you can't pay it back. This will make it worse. Ding Jue lost his fame and fortune again. In order to pay back the money, Ding Jue died unexpectedly, and his sister-in-law left behind two children and left.

In recent years, the Ding family has not had a peaceful life.

Changzhi looked up at the sky. If the sky was not cleared, he could not dissipate the anger in his heart.

The servant lowered his voice, "It is the third master of An Jia who makes money."

Chang Zhi nodded, the person given by the emperor wanted to check you, and you can find out if you hide behind him, not to mention that the An family is not low-key.

At noon in the capital, Zhou Shuren left the Ministry of Revenue to go to the teahouse. Wang Ju arrived early and listened to the storytelling downstairs with authentic tea.

Zhou Shuren came in, "You are finally out."

This was the first time Wang Ju stepped out of the mansion after the old man left, which shows how sad Wang Ju was after the old man left.

Wang Ju signaled the servant to close the door of the private room and pour tea himself, "I won't go out, and you won't go to see me."

He thought he could get Zhou Shuren's comfort, but he did not return the notes himself!

Zhou Shuren shivered, "Speak well."

Wang Ju cleared his throat, "I'm not well informed at home, so I don't want to come to you for peace of mind."

Zhou Shuren glanced at him, "It has nothing to do with your Wang family."

Wang Ju knew, "It's okay, I'm afraid of stepping on a pit that I shouldn't have stepped on."

Zhou Shuren, "With me staring at me, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Ju then smiled, "Then I will continue to go home and squat."

Zhou Shuren touched his beard, "It's been so long since I saw you? You're too thin, I almost dared to recognize you."

Wang Ju pointed at his stomach, "It's gone, my clothes have been changed."

Zhou Shuren said sincerely: "Continue to keep it up, I see it is healthier now."

Wang Ju laughed dryly, "The doctor said so too."

The two talked about something else, and Wang Ju suddenly said, "The Changzhong Mansion Examination is over, aren't you thinking about it?"

"I have confidence in him."

Wang Ju was happy, "I'm waiting for your family to produce a top scholar."

He also had confidence in Changzhong. When he went to the Marquis' Mansion, he would take the exam when he met Changzhong. This child would probably realize the dream of Zhou's family.

In Pingzhou, Chang Zhong took Minghui to the appointment. Cheng Xiang had met two people from afar. When he saw them, he quickly stood up to greet them, "Please, please come from the two young men."

Chang Zhong looked up and saw that there were other people in the box, nodded and walked in.

Cheng Xiang introduced, "All the sons of the officials in the city are from the family of the city. I know that Mr. Zhou is at my invitation, so I am shameless."

Chang Zhong, "Happy Meeting."

Cheng Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and continued to greet everyone enthusiastically, then said, "You all know these two without introducing them, you can introduce yourself."

Then they introduced themselves one by one, and they were indeed the sons of officials from the city.

Chang Zhong and Minghui are the center of today's banquet. For the two, these are small scenes. Chang Zhong's circle of friends is too high, and Minghui's circle of friends is not low, so the two are very calm.

Cheng Xiang saw it for a while and knew it was worthy of being the prince of the Hou's Mansion. "Come on, don't just talk, everyone have tea."

Chang Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly. The prefect was a little interesting. He kept the rhythm of the banquet and was very good at controlling it. It was not annoying at all.

When Cheng Xiang saw Mr. Zhou looking at him, he smiled and said, "My father also talked about Mr. Yesterday."

"What has the prefect?"

Cheng Xiang, "Let me read more about the young master's articles."

He ran away yesterday during the day and was taken to the study by his father at night. He finally read Zhou Changzhong's articles and then blushed.

The banquet ended very quickly. Even though he knew that Changzhong was back to take the scholar exam, no one dared to take people to a place where he was wrong. In the end, only Cheng Xiang was left, and the others were all separated.

Changzhong, "You want to send us back?"

Cheng Xiang glanced at the guard beside the carriage, "I think it's a pity that I can't use it."

Minghui said playfully: "Then let's take the lead."

Cheng Xiang moved the corners of his mouth, saying nothing, and when he left and sighed, his father wanted to borrow the Zhou family's son to join the Marquis' Mansion!

In Xiaoxi Village, Chuanzhou, Chang Zhi came back again. The Ding family had already been hung up. All the coffins that were stopped in the yard were borrowed. The villagers didn’t help much, which seemed particularly desolate.

The servant had a letter in his arms, "Sir, are you sending it now?"

Changzhi, "Well, don't let the old man leave without worrying about leaving."

He sent someone to pay back the money and get the proof. The Ding family has paid back more than twenty taels in recent years, but the proof he borrowed was only less than one tael. If it weren't for the death of anyone, it would be difficult to get the proof back.

The people sent by the emperor have their own ways, so he doesn't need to go out and get the document in the afternoon.

The servant went into the yard and cried again. Then Ding Jue ran out of the yard, stumbled all the way, and finally knelt in front of Changzhi.

Changzhi looked down at Ding Jue, "What are you doing?"

Ding Jue felt that his life was particularly ridiculous. He became a scholar all the way. The second autumn examination became a life change. He has seen more and more coldness in the past two years. When he was most discouraged, he saw the light again, "Sir, please let my mother go with peace of mind. I have no strengths and no retribution. What do you think of me?"

Changzhi frowned, "You want to sell yourself?"

Ding Jue smiled bitterly, "I really can't get the money from my family to return it to the gentleman."
