The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 360
Hu Anguo was also worried about this matter. If Zhao Gou was placed at No. 1 in Jiake, he would be "Jie Yuan" and his reputation would spread far and wide.In the local area, Zhao Gou's name will be well known, and his deeds will also be widely circulated.

If this is the case, I am afraid that the following things will be more serious.After all, Zhao Gou took the exam in half the time of ordinary people, so it would be really bad if others followed suit.However, they forgot, how can ordinary people answer so quickly.

Originally Master Zhang wanted to place Zhao Gou in No.3, but he just thought of the articles he wrote and the talent he showed, which is hard to hide.I had to find such a reason and press it hard, also to warn Zhao Gou, but more because I hated myself as an examiner who never enjoyed the authority that an examiner should have in front of Zhao Gou, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The other examiners thought for a while, and also felt that what Master Zhang said made sense, so they nodded in agreement.Ever since, Zhao Weiguo ranked No. 2 in the first division, that is, "Yuan".As for the list, it will be announced tomorrow, and only then will the candidates know everything.

After fighting for several days, they were exhausted, so Hu Anguo sent them back to their residences to rest.After today, everyone doesn't have to go back to the Gongyuan, they can just rest at home.Since both Hu Anguo and Wang Huai were sent by the imperial court, they can stay in the tribute courtyard to rest.

As the night was getting thicker, a black figure quietly slipped out of the room, and then walked softly towards the answering room.This person is Hu Anguo, he has never done such a thing, this is the first time he has used power for personal gain, and he is full of guilt.

However, the person who stole Zhao Gou's answer sheet was not himself. He only needed to open the door of the answer sheet room.Steward Wang sneaked in quietly, found Hu Anguo, and went with him again, then stayed indoors, found Zhao Gou's answer sheet, rolled it up, hid it in his arms, and came out.

"Thank you!" Steward Wang thanked him solemnly, then took his leave and left.

Looking at Steward Wang's vigorous figure, Hu Anguo smiled wryly: "I didn't expect me, Hu, to be here today. I really have no other choice!"

Originally, Hu Anguo looked down on those who used power for personal gain, but he didn't expect that he would embark on this path today.Even though he knew that this matter was related to the emperor, he still couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart. Because of this, Hu Anguo completely dispelled the idea of ​​owed favors. Favors are the most difficult to repay; he never mentioned the matter of being an official, even if it was an imperial examination He also does not participate at all, and fulfills his ambition wholeheartedly.

Steward Wang found a secluded place when he left the tribute courtyard, repacked Zhao Gou's answer sheet, sealed it again, left again, and came to the town; then, he found a blacksmith's shop and lightly He knocked lightly on the door and said in a low voice, "Send this out!"

The man didn't ask what it was, where it was sent, or who it was sent to.Just because he is also a member of the villa, he sent it back to the villa and handed it over to the owner without thinking too much.It was not Zhao Yougong, but to Zhao Si, and Zhao Yougong was only a temporary substitute, not the owner of the villa.

Zhao Gou is the current owner of the villa, and he is in the Xiangzhou Mansion, and Steward Wang is with him. In the end, it can only be Zhao Si.However, Wang Steward and that person were not clear about what they did, but one person saw clearly what they did, but he didn't come forward to stop it.

This person was Zhao Gou. He chose to follow Steward Wang because he had figured out something and wanted to prove it.Sure enough, as he guessed, Steward Wang came out late at night to visit the Gong Yuan and met Hu Anguo again. The two of them did know each other, and all this seemed more like an arrangement.

In addition to the affairs in the college, Zhao Gou always felt that he was being supervised when he stepped into the territory of Ye County, as if everything was arranged.This made him feel indescribable. In addition, Zhao Gou discovered that Steward Wang was abnormal.

Therefore, Zhao Gou observed carefully and found some clues.It's just that he didn't show his face, in order to wait for the opportunity and want to find out.

If it weren't for the large number of answers, Steward Wang would not have come here rashly, and would only use carrier pigeons to deliver news.Unexpectedly, just this one time, he completely exposed his feet.When Steward Wang turned to go back, he happened to see Zhao Gou looking at him with a smile, and said, "Brother Wang is in a good mood. He stays up late at night and is so busy. What are you busy with?"

"Young...young master!" Steward Wang looked at Zhao Gou with a smile all over his face in horror. He felt goosebumps all over his body and felt uncomfortable. In addition, what he did made him feel a little guilty, and he was also forced to Zhao Gou caught him straight, and was even more terrified.

Steward Wang saw that Zhao Gou had found out, so he didn't intend to hide anything. He had thought of telling the truth before, but the timing was wrong, so he didn't say much.Now, Zhao Gou has found out, and the evidence is solid, so he said directly: "This subordinate is guilty, please punish the young master!"

"This is not a place to talk, follow me!" Zhao Gou smiled lightly, which made Steward Wang even more frightened.

What he was afraid of was not Zhao Gou's punishment, but that he could not continue to be loyal to Zhao Gou.If it is said that a scholar died for his confidant, as long as Zhao Gou gave an order, Steward Wang would never say a word, nor would he frown.It's just that he felt ashamed of Zhao Gou's trust in doing these things.

Seeing his drooping face and lifeless appearance, Zhao Gou smiled slightly and said, "No need to do that, I already know what you did, so you don't have to blame yourself for this. I just want to ask you, whose idea is this? "

"..." Butler Wang didn't answer, he couldn't afford to offend here, and Zhao Si couldn't say anything about it, so he just kept silent.

"Is it Uncle Wang's idea?" Zhao Gou looked at Steward Wang suddenly raised his head, confirmed his conjecture, and said helplessly, "Is Uncle Thirteen so worried about me? He actually arranged everything for me. , when did you get in touch with Uncle Wang?"

"The subordinates follow the young master. Although it has the intention of the king of Chu, it is more of the intention of the owner. He is worried about the danger of the young master going out alone, so he asked me to come. In addition..." Steward Wang paused After a pause, he continued: "Besides, this is also what the emperor meant!"

Zhao Gou originally thought that there was only Uncle Thirteen, but he didn't expect that his father was also worried about him. Now he understood Wang Steward's difficulties.However, he also knew that Steward Wang was loyal and would never betray him. The only thing he did was tell his whereabouts. see you.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gou felt nothing.However, Butler Wang still felt guilty, and lowered his head, not daring to lift it up.Zhao Gou asked him to tell everything clearly, even guessing whether Hu Anguo knew him or not; butler Wang knew that he couldn't keep the secret, so he told everything.

Not only what happened before, but also what happened later, even he told Zhao Gou everything about his acquaintance with Hu Anguo, without any concealment, and even wanted to tell it a few days ago, because Things that were left unsaid for some reason were said.

After Zhao Gou heard about it, he smiled wryly in his heart. Originally, he wanted to be alone, but in the end he was still arranged by his father and uncle Wang.However, Steward Wang specially emphasized that they did not help anything, and that everything was obtained by Zhao Gou's own ability, which made him feel better.

"Let's forget about it, let's forget about it!" After Zhao Gou heard this, he knew in his heart that Steward Wang was thinking of himself, so he didn't pursue this matter.However, he still solemnly reminded: "Since you are no longer from the villa, you don't have to obey anyone's orders. If there is another time, you will definitely be held accountable!"

"This subordinate understands!" Steward Wang replied firmly.

Originally, Steward Wang had an idea to tell the whole story, but it would be better to take this opportunity to say it all.In addition, he also understood the meaning of Zhao Gou's words.Since he is not a member of the Amber Villa, he has completely cut off contact with the Villa. No matter who the order is, he does not need to listen to it anymore, he only needs to obey Zhao Gou's order.

Not just an exhortation, but a warning.If he commits the crime again, he will definitely be punished. No one wants to have people around him who will bite him back at any time. These Wang stewards all understand that from now on they will only obey Zhao Gou's orders, and no one will obey them, even if it is the emperor. Even the prince can't order, only Zhao Gou has this power.
