Chapter 237 Going through the back door

After Lu Junbi sent "Friend Wang" back, it was already late at night, and it was really inconvenient to disturb others.

So when it was getting dark again the next day, Lu Junbi didn't care about the lack of sleep, so he got up and rushed to the mansion of the salt merchant Wang's family.

Just by listening to the surname "Wang" and combining it with the situation in Yangzhou City, we can know that the ancestors of this family must have come from Huizhou, the Huizhou of Huizhou merchants.

Wang is a common surname in Huizhou, and there have been many famous people, such as Wang Hung, Minister of the Ministry of War, who fought a naval battle with the Folang machine in the early years of Jiajing and introduced the Folang machine gun.

Another example is Wang Daokun, a well-known Huizhou figure who is still alive. He was the same year as Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen.

The head of the Wang family, a salt merchant that Lu Junbi wanted to visit, was named Wang Qing. He was forty years old and was known as Wang Chaofeng or Wang Yuanwai.

Lu Junbi is the grandson of Wang Yuanwai's mother's cousin. The relationship is far away, and he usually doesn't move around anymore.

But Lu Junbi himself was not bad at studying, and he was a scholar with a certain social status, so he was able to walk around with the wealthy businessman Wang's family.

At dawn today, Lu Junbi sat in the front hall of Wang's house and waited.

After Wang Yuanwai woke up, he was also a little strange when he heard the servant say that the old mistress Lu Xiucai hurried over early in the morning to ask for an interview.

So he ordered breakfast to be served, and then invited Lu Xiucai to have dinner together.

Hearing Lu Xiucai's explanation of his visit, Wang Yuanwai frowned slightly.It does sound like a good thing, but I'm afraid there may be fraud in it.

In a city with extremely developed commerce like Yangzhou City, there must be a lot of scammers, and all kinds of deceptions emerge in endlessly.

Wang Yuanwai has been working hard in the mall for 20 years, and he will definitely not be impulsive when doing things.

He was not afraid that Lu Junbi would deceive him, but that Lu Junbi would be deceived by others.

Taking advantage of the breakfast time, Yuanwai Wang questioned the situation of the "friend Wang" that Lu Junbi mentioned.

Lu Junbi replied: "This man speaks very well and knows the local people of Suzhou like the back of his hand, so it doesn't seem like he's cheating.

The servants beside him are all strong and healthy, with shiny faces, and they all seem to be raised with good food and drink, which shows that they are not born in poverty.

And if it's a deception, he will definitely ask me something, or throw a bait to lure me into the bait.

But he didn't say anything at all, and he didn't talk to me about anything involving interests.

Even from the beginning, he politely refused to make friends with me, saying that he had no intentions of me; moreover, he also declined my temptation to propose a marriage. "

Wang Yuanwai said: "Usually speaking, if one doesn't brag about oneself, two doesn't question you thoroughly, three doesn't ask you to do something, and four doesn't lure you with money, then the possibility of being a liar is very small."

Then he gave instructions to Lu Xiucai: "You just said that you will arrive in Yangzhou City in two or three days when you become an academic officer, and you will know the outcome by then.

Before that, don't take the initiative to contact that friend Wang, and then see if he will be anxious to find you again.

If he is really a descendant of the Dongshan Wang family, our family will naturally impress him with sincerity and let him feel that it is more comfortable to be in Yangzhou than to go back to Suzhou! "

So Lu Junbi followed Wang Yuanwai's instructions and did not look for Lin Tailai again for the next two days.

However, no one came to bother, Mr. Lin felt at ease and began to arrange his own affairs.

He called a few local intermediaries over and asked, "I want to house 500 people in the city until the end of the month, and the cost will not exceed 500 taels. Which one of you can do it?"

Although Yangzhou is one of the three major metropolises in the Jiangzuo area, and there are a lot of tourists coming and going from other places, when they heard the "500 people", they were still startled.

If it is not the era of peace, but 30 years ago when Japanese pirates were rampant, you must suspect that the "500 people" came to seize Yangzhou City.

The official Lin reassured and said: "Don't worry! There are guides from the county government of Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture. They are officials sent here to assist the Suzhou Wei Cao Army in transporting food!"

Hearing this "explanation", these teeth who depend on intermediary fees for a living are relieved.

To make money is to be brave, as long as you give a reasonable name, what money dare not make?
After thinking for a while, an older Yazi said: "The temples in the northeastern area of ​​Xincheng are relatively dense, such as Erlang Temple, Zhenwu Temple, Yuwang Temple, Guanyin Temple, etc. are not far from each other.

Moreover, these temples are more spacious than ordinary houses and inns. As long as the open space can be rented out, it is not a problem to accommodate 500 people, and it is also convenient to gather and mobilize. "

Then he rubbed his teeth secretly and hinted: "These temples are far away from the government, county, guard, military and coastal defense and other yamen in the old city to the west."

Senior official Lin said with great satisfaction, "Very good! Let's do it this way! If it can be done within two days, I will be very grateful to you all!"

If it wasn't for worrying about shocking the world, or being surrounded and suppressed by the government's suspicion, Mr. Lin wanted to train his subordinates' ability to set up camp.

That way, you can find an open space outside the city, and you don't need to spend extra money to find a place to live.

After another two days of calm, Nanzhili Tixue Yushi, also known as the great master Fang Huan among the school population, came to Yangzhou City to inspect Yangzhou scholars.

As an important town, Yangzhou City has a wide variety of yamen, more than Suzhou City.

But there was no special "trial court" built, only a Central Procuratorate was built between the Fuxue and the Fuya.

Non-resident officials with the title of "censor" such as inspecting censors and tixue censors, whoever comes will use this Central Procuratorate.

As for the Yan Yushi, there is a special Yan Law Procuratorate, and when the Jiangbei Fengyang governor comes over occasionally, there is also a special Futai Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Fang Huan, the Tixue official, arrived in Yangzhou City and immediately moved into the Central Procuratorate.

According to traditional rules, after a grand master arrives in a certain place, he cannot meet or socialize with local scholars until the results of the examination are released.

Whoever dares to visit such a strict grand master will be kicked out and not admitted directly.

But rules are rules, and there are always some loopholes that can be exploited. For example, outsiders like Lin Tailai are certainly not classified as "local scholars".

Another example is that you can go through the front door privately and sneak in through the back door, provided you have enough sympathy.So the next day, in front of the gate of the Procuratorate in Yangzhou City, there were still a few scholars who tried their luck here and there.

Lu Junbi was also among them, but he didn't come here to try his luck, but to see if his new acquaintance, King of Suzhou, would come.

Not long after, I really saw "Friends of the King" walking over with five people and six people, walking at a pace that the six relatives did not recognize, followed by the six big-armed attendants.

For some reason, in Lu Junbi's eyes, today's friend Wang has a very different temperament than when he first met two days ago.

I don't know why, everyone around friend Wang is carrying big leather bags, are they all gold and silver treasures?Is it a little too much?
Senior official Lin walked outside the gate of the Central Procuratorate, looked at the people outside the gate in surprise, and said:

"Do you really know how to do it? What's the use of waiting at the gate facing the street instead of going to the back door to try your luck?"

Someone shouted: "Then why are you coming to the gate, my friend?"

Lin Tailai signaled the left and right guardians to knock on the door, Zhang Wu went up and kicked the door a few times, and then saw the door was opened a crack from the inside.

Then a proud figure of Menzi appeared, through the crack of the door, he shouted to the outside: "Who is so ignorant?"

Official Lin stepped forward in person, kicked the door open with one kick, and then pushed the door open.

While everyone was stunned, Officer Lin occupied the door and turned to say hello to Lu Junbi, "Brother Lu! Let's go in together?"

Lu Junbi: "???"

Is this how you visit?Are the members of Dongshan Wang's family acting so arrogantly?

Subconsciously shrinking his body, Lu Junbi dared to follow in like this, he waved his hands quickly.

So Mr. Lin walked into the gate of the procuratorate with his entourage, and then closed the gate again with a "bang". No one knew what happened inside the procuratorate, only vaguely heard shouts.

After everyone outside the door looked at each other in blank dismay, someone suggested: "Actually, what this friend said just now makes sense, we should go to the back door to try our luck."

Then these people went around the outer wall of the procuratorate and moved to the back door.

But it is said that after Lin Tailai entered the procuratorate, he encountered the escort of the promotion officer without any accident.

But with the protection of six powerful subordinates, Mr. Lin is naturally not afraid of the dozens of peacetime guards who have not gone through the battle.

In just a short moment, Lin Daguan and his men broke through the ceremonial gate, the front hall, the main hall, and the entrance hall, and the troops were approaching the back hall!
On the contrary, in the back hall, Fang Tixue's last few trusted servants resisted desperately for several rounds, buying time for Fang Tixue.

Mr. Lin, who was tightly hugged on his thigh, watched helplessly, a short fat man in official robes fled around the back hall again.

After a few more efforts, Senior Official Lin broke free from the two domestic slaves holding their thighs, and hurriedly went around to catch up from the side corridor of the back hall.

When Mr. Lin chased after him to the back row of houses, he saw that the chunky figure in the official robe had already climbed from the ladder to the top of the wall in the corner of the backyard.

This made Mr. Lin very speechless, why did this happen?Wouldn't you like to sit down and talk?

He rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Please come down, Grand Master! Please be polite!"

Fang Tixue on the wall looked back indifferently, because of your poor performance in Nanjing City, Lin Tailai, you are an idiot to go down!

Waiting to jump from the top of the wall to the outside, the sky is high and the birds are flying and the sea is wide and the fish is leaping!
Then you can escape into the government office next to you. Do you, Lin Tailai, dare to attack the government office?

The few scholars who were at the front gate just now have also come around to the back at this time.

Immediately when he looked up, he saw an official who looked like a great master, straddling the wall in a panic.

Everyone was dumbfounded again, what kind of scene is this?
Everyone began to struggle, should we follow the etiquette and salute the great master on the wall?

Immediately, someone in the courtyard shouted loudly, and then the Grand Master shivered and rolled down the wall.

There is no need for the scholars to hesitate and entangle now, a fool will just sit idly by when a great master falls from the sky.

Also, what the friend just said was good, even if you are lucky, you have to come to the back door!
So everyone rushed forward at the same time, catching the grand master with all their might.

Then he surrounded the grand master tightly, saying hello and hello in a rush of tongues.

Damn it!Fang Tixue was astonished. Where did these scholars under the wall come from?

After coming back to his senses, he shouted anxiously: "Let me go! Let me go!"

But these scholars, who are obsessed with fame and fortune, are not willing to let go of the opportunity to have close contact with the great master, blocking the great master in a corner in a dilemma.

At this time, Mr. Lin also jumped off the wall and landed directly in the middle of the crowd.

"A bunch of bastards!" Fang Tixue jumped angrily and cursed, not knowing who he was scolding.

Mr. Lin grabbed Grandmaster with one hand, forcefully separated the crowd with the other, and walked towards the side door at the back.

Then Officer Lin remembered something again, turned around and invited Lu Junbi again: "Brother Lu, go in together?"

Lu Junbi wanted to kneel directly, friend Wang, can you pretend not to know him at this time?
At this time, the small door at the back of the procuratorate was opened from the inside, and Mr. Lin walked in with the grand master, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lu Junbi's mind was at a loss, what happened today was completely beyond his cognition.

Friends Wang, you said to go through the back door, is this the way to go through the back door?
