Chapter Eleven: The Wang Family
"The question was given by the Minister himself!" The old man surnamed Zhang took a breath of cold air.
Carpenter Li was also frightened and murmured: "The villain must have made a mistake. The villain deserves to die. The villain deserves to die."
The old man surnamed Zhang and Carpenter Li were both minor officials, and they knew how high-ranking officials were. The rank of Minister of Industry was much higher than theirs, so naturally they did not dare to offend.
But Su Yi disagreed. He was now considered an immortal cultivator and did not pay attention to the officials in the secular world.
"I have informed the teacher before coming here. I believe the teacher will be here soon," the middle-aged official said.
The old man named Zhang and Carpenter Li were trembling with fear when they heard this, but Su Yi was calm and composed.
About a stick of incense later, eight strong men walked into the county government office carrying a sedan.
When the middle-aged official saw the sedan, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Welcome to you, Your Majesty the Minister."
The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and an old man wearing an official uniform and an official hat came down. The old man looked young, about fifty or sixty years old, with a slight hunchback and a pair of eye-catching ears.
The old man got off the sedan with an excited look on his face. He pointed at Carpenter Li and Su Yi and asked, "Where is the candidate who said that my question was wrong? Is it you? Or are you?"
Su Yi took a step forward, bowed and said, "It's the student."
The old man said: "My surname is Qian Mingli and my courtesy name is Chunguang. This question is a wrong question that I deliberately asked in order to find students with arithmetic talent. Your name is Su Yi, right? Are you interested in becoming my teacher?"
division."
To Su Yi's expectation, the Minister of Industry named Qian Li had no airs about him at all. Instead, he asked Su Yi to become his disciple as soon as they met.
"Why don't you thank me, Sir?" Seeing Su Yi's silence, the middle-aged official quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked him to kneel down.
Carpenter Li and the old man named Zhang also looked envious.
Su Yi disagreed.
First of all, based on his observation, the level of mathematics in this world is not very high, and I am afraid that the Minister is not that good at mathematics either.
Secondly, the most urgent thing for him at the moment is to get rid of the ghost spirit in his body, and he has no intention of learning from his master.
Su Yi shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Sir. I just discovered the wrong question by luck. I am not a student with arithmetic talent as the adults say."
Qian Li didn't force him, he just said it was a pity, and then said: "With Mr. Su's talent, I am afraid that the first place in the Tongsheng Examination will be Mr. Su. Mr. Su will go to Beijing to take part in the examination someday, and he will meet
If you are in trouble, you can go to my house, and I will help Mr. Su."
The middle-aged official had been in the officialdom for many years and understood the meaning behind Qian Shilang's words.
After the Tongsheng Examination, there is the Provincial Examination. After passing the Provincial Examination, you can go to Beijing to take the National Examination.
Minister Qian was sure that Su Yi could pass the provincial examination.
Moreover, Mr. Qian is a popular person next to the emperor. With Mr. Qian as his backer, Su Yi's future is limitless.
"Young Master Su is really young and promising, and his future is limitless. When he becomes successful in the future, I need to take care of him."
The old man named Zhang and Carpenter Li also saw the clues and started flattering Su Yi one after another.
...
At the insistence of Minister Qian, Su Yi had dinner at the county government office and met with the county magistrate, becoming familiar with him.
By the time we returned to our residence, it was already dark.
When the door was opened, several candles were already lit in the lobby. Four people came uninvited and sat unceremoniously on the Grand Master's chair in the lobby.
Su Yi took a closer look and saw that one of them was the head of the Wang family, the old man with an immortal spirit.
There are also the three mysterious men who took him to Wang's house that day.
"The last time I saw Young Master Su, Young Master Su had no spiritual energy fluctuations in his body. I didn't expect that when we meet today, Young Master Su has also become a cultivator of immortality. Should I call him Taoist Friend Su?" The head of the Wang family said without sadness or joy.
said.
Su Yi smiled slightly: "This is also thanks to the Wang family's water attribute skills. Stop talking nonsense. Your Excellency, you came here today not just to congratulate me, right?"
The head of the Wang family sighed: "Hey! I have lived for more than 150 years since I entered the world of immortality. Because of my poor talent, I had given up hope of revitalizing the Wang family. Who knew that God would be merciful and allow me to grow old?
Son, give birth to Jing'er with such a spiritual root."
"Zhao Qian was my brother through life and death back then. He also had a share of the Wang family's prosperity, but I didn't expect that he would take away my son, Jing'er. The hatred for taking away my son is irreconcilable!"
At the end of the sentence, the head of the Wang family was already gritting his teeth.
Su Yi said in a deep voice: "I am not interested in your family feud. I promised not to leave Qinghe County in the near future, but I did not promise to avenge your son."
The head of the Wang family looked cold and said: "Everything has room for negotiation. Fellow Daoist Su, don't talk so harshly."
Su Yi took a step back and said coldly: "If you force Su, Su will not be easy to bully. At worst, the situation will be broken. Su does not want to be coerced."
The head of the Wang family said calmly: "The Taoist Association made a mistake. The Wang family asked Taoist friends for help this time, and there will be rewards afterwards. Moreover, asking Taoist friends for help is not to make Taoist friends go through life and death, but to use the help of Taoist friends to find Zhao Qian.
's whereabouts."
After saying that, he took out a jade box, which contained a strange insect with the head of a dog and the body of a beetle.
"What is this?" Su Yi was curious when he saw this thing for the first time.
"This is a filarial worm. Fellow Taoist was the first person he saw after Zhao Qian took over his body. His body is contaminated with a trace of the spiritual energy that escaped from Zhao Qian's body. As long as fellow Taoist puts the filarial worm on his body, no matter who Zhao Qian is,
Even if he has fled to the ends of the earth, he can be found with this insect."
After the head of the Wang family finished speaking, he carefully put away the jade box.
"If we just rely on Su's help to find the whereabouts of Zhao Qian, Su will not refuse it for the sake of the Wang family's gift of the technique. But..."
Su Yi's voice changed: "To tell you the truth, Su's body is contaminated with the aura of the netherworld. He has been trying to find a way to solve it. I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you to find someone."
The head of the Wang family waved his hand and said: "Of course I won't let Fellow Daoist Su's trip go in vain. My Wang family recently got married. My father-in-law is a big family. Someone in the family has served as an imperial doctor in the palace. This should be able to temporarily solve the problem for Fellow Daoist Su.
The problem of the ghostly energy in the body."
"Oh? And at this time, I would like to ask fellow Taoist to explain it in detail."
...
The few people kept bargaining until late at night, before Su Yi sent them away.
Even if the imperial doctor mentioned by the head of the Wang family cannot cure the netherworld energy in Su Yi's body, it can temporarily suppress it and let Su Yi live for decades longer.
Moreover, in order to avenge the murder of his own son, the head of the Wang family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, promising that as long as Su Yi was willing to help, he would not only give Su Yi ten mid-level spiritual stones, but also a complete set of water attribute skills.
...
In the lobby of the Wang family.
"Master, I don't understand why I promise so many benefits even if I don't use force on that kid. Isn't it just that I'm benefiting that kid in vain?" asked one of the three mysterious men.
The head of the Wang family waved his hand: "Do you know who is the backer behind Su Xiaoyou?"
The three mysterious men all shook their heads.
The head of the Wang family said: "I have already investigated. In the past six months, Su Xiaoyou has been very close to Mr. Li from the east of the city. You must have heard about the man behind Mr. Li."
Hearing the words "Li Yuanwai", the three big men all showed the same expressions.
The Wang family has been established in Qinghe County for hundreds of years, and the Wang family is fully aware of the intricate network of relationships in Qinghe County.
"To tell you the truth, before I went to see Su Yi, I asked Yuan Wai Li specifically. Yuan Wai Li hinted that Su Yi was very important to that gentleman, so I took the matter seriously and made a big promise."
The head of the house picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of tea.
"The master of the family has given such a generous reward this time. I'm afraid he also intends to win over that boy Su Yi. After all, the man behind that boy is very famous..."
Before the big man finished speaking, the head of the Wang family glanced over with sharp eyes, and the big man immediately shut up.
"In order to make up for Jing'er's loss, I have to agree to marry Yu'er to the Sun family. Whether our Wang family can make a comeback in the future, in addition to the Sun family, if we can use Su Xiaoyou to climb up to that big shot, then the rise of the Wang family is just around the corner."
Then, the head of the Wang family sighed again.
