Just when Xue Tingxiang was in a daze, Zhao'er spoke.
"We didn't say no. You don't have to be so anxious. It's just that since someone is injured, why don't you give him treatment, so you're not afraid of losing your life?"
Obviously, Zhao'er's words made this private tooth very disdain, but he certainly couldn't offend Zhao'er face to face, and he didn't say anything, just laughed a few times. Zhao'er also knew it well and didn't say anything more.
Because they were going to take these people to the workshop, Zhao’er hired another car, and the two mule carts of Xi Ya couldn’t hold the injured person, so they put the person in their car.
Along the way, Hong'er was very curious about this person, and this person just fell so hard that he was already unconscious. When he was halfway, Zhao'er said to send him to the hospital first, but was stopped by Xue Tingxiang.
"If he is so dirty, the hospital won't accept it."
This is true, Zhao'er can only suppress the anxiety in his heart, first send these people to the workshop, let Xue Hu and the others help settle them, and then ask for a doctor.
During this period, I found someone to clean up the dirt on the person's body, wash off the dust on his face and cut off those knotted beards, only to find that the person's face was actually injured.
It was a knife wound. Because the wound was not treated in time, the wound had already rolled over. At this time, it formed a hideous dark red blood scab, like a big meat worm lying on the face, shocking.
He was injured more than this time, he also had a stab wound on his back and a broken leg, and he didn't know how this man survived.
Later, I learned from the mouths of the victims that this person was actually picked up by the private tooth.
He was greedy for money, and when he saw this man fainted by the river, he was still angry. He thought that this man had slipped into the river and was lucky not to die. I wanted to throw this person away several times, but because of the distressed pleadings of these victims of the same disease, this person has relied on the victims, and I have been able to sustain it until now.
After the doctor came, he healed his wounds and prescribed several medicines to keep him alive.
Seeing how this person was dying, after being tossed for so long, there was no sign of waking up, Zhao'er was really afraid that he would die. But the doctor said, this person is stubborn, he will die early, and he will not delay until now.
She was relieved.
Gao Sheng also came when he received the letter. Zhao'er handed over the settlement of these people to him, and went home with Xue Tingxiang. After all this tossing, it was almost afternoon when I returned to Jinger Hutong, and Zhaoer was busy cooking. After eating, the family of three rested. I thought of taking a nap, but who would have thought that it would be dark after waking up.
So the day went by.
In the evening, Gao Sheng came over.
To say that the person is awake is to ask him not to say anything. Gao Sheng also said that looking at the appearance of this person and the injuries he suffered, he did not look like an ordinary person, and asked Zhao'er how to deal with it.
Yu Gaosheng thought about it, naturally such a person could not stay, and he did not have to make trouble for himself. Zhao'er also agreed with Gao Sheng's statement and planned to let him leave after the injury was healed.
On the contrary, Xue Tingxiang seemed to be very interested in this person, and said that he would come and see it tomorrow. Not to mention, after getting up the next morning, Zhao'er cooked dinner, and the family of three packed up and went out after eating.
The workshop is on the edge of the west city, some distance from the east city, so Zhaoer hired a car.
When he arrived at the workshop, work had already started in the workshop, and Zhao'er stood at the door and looked in, and saw many craftsmen busy making silk flowers.
Now the business of Wangji Flower Square is very big. After Gao Sheng and the others came, they helped to contact merchants outside, pick up and drop off goods, etc. Zhao'er seemed to be one of the largest silk flower merchants in Beizhili.
It's just that the manpower is still tight, which is the main reason why Zhao'er is willing to buy these people. First, I can't bear it, and second, I want to cultivate some of my own team, so that I don't have to worry about the lack of manpower all the time.
Zhao'er just looked at it casually and went to the back yard.
There is a large yard behind the workshop, which is usually used as a warehouse and can also be used for living. Those disaster victims were placed here, and the beds were definitely not enough. Fortunately, it was summer, so they could make it through. If it is winter, just thinking about how to place them is enough to make people head big.
The injured person was placed in a room alone, and Xue Tingxiang seemed to be talking to this person when he was recruited. She didn't take it to heart and went to see the victims.
After some cleaning up, the victims looked much better than yesterday.
The clothes were still in tatters, but at least they weren't that dirty. Only then did Zhao'er find out that these people are not only men, but also several women, old and young, the oldest seems to be in his forties, and there are also two children, one boy, one The girls are all seven or eight years old.
Seeing Zhao'er staring at them, a thin woman seemed a little flustered, hugged the girl and said, "Don't worry, boss, we can all work, and so can my daughter."
She was afraid that she would dislike them. Because yesterday, when I sold people privately, I always used strong labor as a guise. In fact, Zhao'er saw a child inside yesterday, but she didn't say anything at that time.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I won't drive you away, just stay well. As for work, you have to take care of yourself."
These people seem to be doing well, but in fact they are not doing well.
was hungry.
Although that private tooth is for them to stutter, it is really only for stuttering. It’s okay to starve to death, how can you be full of food and drink. Coupled with the big change, these people are all in shock, and Zhao'er can't do things that make people work for themselves now.
In the midst of gratitude, Zhao'er walked out of the warehouse.
Her mood was a little down, and the common people were the hardest, especially these countrymen, who depended on God for food all their lives, and if God slapped his face, their family could be destroyed and their wives separated. But she can't do anything, even these people are beyond her ability.
"Sister recruit."
When Zhao'er came out, they happened to meet Gao Sheng, and the two went to a place to talk, in fact, to discuss how to arrange these people in the future.
Gao Sheng knew that Sister Zhao'er was kind-hearted, so he didn't say anything when he saw that she brought so many people back. But he also thought about it. In the future, he will always use people to do business. If he hires people outside, there is no need for these people to be relieved.
No matter how bad it is, they will also start the business of delivering vegetables in Beijing, which can always make them round.
Gao Sheng's idea coincided with Zhao'er. The two discussed it carefully and talked about some business matters before Zhao'er went to Xue Tingyan.
On the other side, Xue Tingxiang looked at Hu San in front of him, and his mood was not calm.
In that dream, this Hu San was the confidant of 'Xue Tingxiang'. Xue Tingxiang was lonely, and his six relatives were cut off. If he was the closest, there was only Hu San, a close follower.
Hu San has been with Xue Tingxiang for decades. Maybe after his death, Hu San will also handle the affairs behind him.
But in that dream, Hu San was not Xue Tingxiang's person at first. It was Xue Tingxiang who avenged him, and Hu San followed him to the death.
After all, it is different. The fate in reality is already a thousand miles away from the dream. Not only Xue Tingxiang's fate has changed, but Hu San, who should have appeared in a few years, also appeared ahead of schedule.
When Xue Tingxiang first met Hu San, Hu San had a deep blood feud, and the two of them had the same enemy. At that time, Xue Tingxiang was Wu Ge Lao's most trusted son-in-law, and Hu San was a prisoner who was arrested for an unsuccessful assassination.
It was Xue Tingxiang's people who caught Hu San. When asked, the two were so related that Xue Tingxiang brought Hu San under his command.
At that time, when Xue Tingxiang saw Hu San, Hu San was already disfigured and lame. Looking at it now, this is obviously the beginning of Hu San's disfigurement and lameness. What went wrong during this period, so that what should have been delayed for a few years happened earlier
Xue Tingxiang was puzzled, and Hu San kept staring at him with defensive eyes, not planning to say anything.
Thinking of what happened to Hu San, Xue Tingxiang gave up his plan to get to the bottom of it.
After all, this time is not that time, and with Hu San's temperament, it is impossible to say anything to him now. Besides, he couldn't explain why he knew those things, but he would be self-defeating.
So Xue Tingxiang just asked about Hu San's origin, and Hu San also made up a series of sayings that he was the only one left in the disaster at home, and he was unlucky to encounter bad people, so he was injured until this point.
Just at this moment, Zhao'er came, and sighed after hearing this, telling Hu San not to think too much, and take good care of his injuries.
In the days that followed, Xue Tingxiang was busy.
First, he went to the Qionglin Banquet, then he was rewarded with the imperial attire of the champion and awarded the Hanlin Academy for writing, followed by the champion of the new division on behalf of the scholar on the thank-you table, and then went to the Guozijian to 'worship the brown hairpin'.
After finishing these trivial matters, it is time to set up a monument inscribed by Jinshi.
In the outer courtyard of the Confucian Temple of Guozijian, there are more than 100 Jinshi monuments, from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty to Dachang, including three in the Yuan Dynasty, 77 in the Ming Dynasty, and more than 30 in Dachang.
This jinshi stele is divided into three parts: the stele seat, the stele cap, and the stele body. The blue and white stone bottom is engraved with the base, name and place of origin of all the jinshi of each division.
This is probably the highest honor a scholar can have. Not to mention the name and the history, at least standing in front of these jinshi inscribed monuments, seeing the names engraved on the monuments hundreds of years ago, even if there are many people who are not known to everyone, but also let everyone know. Can not help but awe.
Not to mention that there are many famous officials with a long history on this monument. They may be famous for thousands of years, or they will be infamous for thousands of years, but they are all outstanding people of a generation. Now he and the others can rank with them! I imagine that after a few years, I have become a handful of loess, but future generations can still look up at the various styles of their time from the Jinshi monument. Everyone has a sense of arrogance and high spirits.
Serve the court, live up to the emperor's grace!
When the Jinshi Stele was erected, all the new Jinshi scholars headed by Xue Tingxiang took the oath.
Listening to these impassioned voices, Xue Tingxiang couldn't help but sigh, the imperial powers are the most able to win over people's hearts, and from the beginning, this scene is all like this.
And he, who has experienced two times, also has a kind of excitement that is willing to throw his head and blood for it.
It's just that I don't know how long these emotions can last. Maybe after a few years, these newcomers to the court will forget their original intentions and become officials who work hard and only serve their own personal interests.
But who knows
Everything was finally settled, and the results of the museum selection came out.
Mao Badou and Li Datian really weren't on it, which means they couldn't get into the Hanlin Academy.
Of course, staying in Beijing is the best. As the saying goes, it is easy to get promoted at the feet of the emperor, but this is only for those who have backgrounds and connections. Those without backgrounds and connections can only be released out of Beijing. The only hope is to be sent out to a good place, not a poor place.
However, it is still too early to say this at this time. Even if it is an external release, you have to wait for a vacancy to be filled.
It was only at this time that Mao Badou and two people knew that even if they were awarded the jinshi, it did not mean that they would be able to sleep at ease. There are still many Jinshi, Juren, and people in Beijing who have returned to Beijing to report their duties but have not filled the vacancies.
These people are also known as alternate officials, that is, there is no real vacancy, and they do not receive royal salaries. Only when the vacancies are filled can they be called court officials.
Among them, the candidates are divided into several grades. The highest grade is from the Hanlin Academy, which is also called the Tiger Class. If there is a vacancy, it will be filled, followed by the Jinshi, and so on.
As for those from lower backgrounds, or have no access, or have no money to dredge, they can only survive year after year. Sometimes it takes a few years to make up for a vacancy, but it's not a bad vacancy, and life is very hard.
Fortunately, Mao Badou is good at communication, and he has also made a group of friends in Beijing these days. These days, he and Li Datian are busy running around, just to fill the vacancy.
It is said that Chen Jian also made plans for it.
At the same time, Xue Tingxiang also came to the Hanlin Academy step by step.
In fact, the Imperial Academy is a place for the scholars to study, and it is divided into the Shuchang Hall, the Living Note Hall, and the National History Hall.
The Shuchang Pavilion is the place where ordinary shuji scholars study, the Living and Note Pavilion is the place where the emperor's government affairs are kept, and the emperor's words and deeds are recorded, and the National History Museum is the place where the history of the country is compiled.
Xue Tingxiang was writing for Xiu, naturally in the National History Museum. I thought I was going to work with Chen Jian. Who would have thought that Chen Jian would be promoted to Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun before Xue Tingxiang entered the museum.
This Zhanshifu was originally an institution for tutoring the prince, and later became a place for the transfer of Hanlin. In fact, to put it bluntly, there is no big task to be entrusted to you now, you wait first, and when the court needs your service, you will naturally have a place to use it.
That being said, this is also a necessary process for the promotion of high-ranking officials.
Hanlin has always been precious, and naturally cannot be compared with others. Just like Chen Jian, he went up one level to the official titles of Bachelor of Reading, Bachelor of Teaching, etc., always serving the emperor's side. For example, the selection of examiners in the township exam is made by these people. Even if it is released to the public one day, it will start from the prefect.
Of course, with Chen Jian's promotion path, it doesn't seem like it will be released to the public. Maybe in a few years, I will enter the six books, starting as a servant, and after more than ten years of hard work, I may enter the cabinet.
There are very few cabinet ministers who are released to serve as officials in Beijing, and of course not all, it depends on the situation.
This was learned from Xue Tingyan's vision. He was happy for Chen Jian from the bottom of his heart, but he did not show up for Chen Jian's promotion, but let Mao Badou help him with the gift.
Unlike Chen Jian, Xue Tingxiang's life after entering the Hanlin Academy was much more difficult.
This difficulty refers not to others, but to no one who wants to fellowship with him. If it were someone else, with the aura of Xue Tingxiang Liuyuan and Di, those who are willing to meet and flatter him would be like a crucian carp crossing the river, but he was very coldly received. In the Hanlin Academy, no one talked to him. At most, he said that the scene was over, and no matter how much, there would be no more.
Fortunately, he is not a fledgling kid, and he doesn't care much about it.
Every day is to go to the Hanlin Academy on time to work, and the so-called history book is also a job to save face. As long as Emperor Jiacheng doesn't think about it, no one pays attention to it. He is drinking in the National History Museum every day. Tea and reading a book, leisurely and elegantly came to write an article or something.
Those Shuji Shi from the Shuchang Hall, who entered the Hanlin Academy, had to face the hall examination in a month, and he seemed very nervous.
Because of this, Xue Tingxiang got fat.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Xue Tingxiang should go to the Hanlin Academy to order Mao.
Zhao'er took out his official uniform.
After he put it on, she looked left and right, and always felt that something was not right. After a closer look, she realized that the waist and armpits of the official uniform were a little tight.
"You're getting fat." Zhao'er complained.
Xue Tingxiang was a little embarrassed and argued, "It's not that I've gotten fat, it's that I've grown taller."
"Have you grown taller?"
Zhao'er said, and then made a good gesture: "It seems to be a little taller."
In the past, Xue Tingxiang hadn't been recruited yet, but in the past few years, he has come out a lot. The outline has become firmer, the Adam's apple is more obvious, the skeleton is bigger, and finally looks like an adult man.
However, his fair skin is still the same as before. After half a summer, Zhao'er has been tanned a lot, but he is still so white.
Even if it is occasionally exposed to the sun, it is only reddish, never black.
"It seems that your official uniform is going to be changed, how long has it been posted!"
According to the regulations, the official uniforms of the court-appointed officials are all issued by the court, each of which is a suit, and is divided into court uniforms, supplementary uniforms and regular uniforms.
This piece of clothing should be worn all the time. If it is dirty or worn, it must be made in a place specially made for official uniforms. Because it is a monopoly business, this official uniform may seem inconspicuous, but it is very expensive, costing dozens of taels of silver.
"Everyone says that after eighteen, it won't grow, so why are you still growing?"
Xue Tingyan squinted and pulled her: "Don't you want your man to grow taller and stronger?"
Zhao'er was too familiar with him like this, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, of course I want you to be tall and strong."
Xue Tingxiang let out a snort, let go of her, smoothed the sleeves, picked up the bag on the side, and stepped out of the door.
In the yard, Hong'er was playing.
This child is very energetic, he gets up early every morning, and then he can't rest for a moment. Zhao'er puts a lot more energy on him every day than others. Fortunately, now Hu San is helping to watch, it can save a lot of heart.
Yes, now Hu San has moved from the workshop to Jing'er Hutong.
His injury healed quickly, and in less than half a month, he was able to walk down the ground. After a period of recuperation, the victims now have their own errands. Even the little girl named Taohua can help her mother cook for everyone in the workshop. How can he, a big man, eat for free.
But he ruined his face, crippled his leg again, and hindered other work. Finally, at Xue Tingxiang's suggestion, he came to Jing'er Hutong and worked as a porter and driver for Xue's house.
Zhao'er was not used to it, but Hu San was taciturn and diligent in his work. In addition, Hu San knows how to drive a car, and usually someone will pick her up when she goes out, which is also very cheap.
The most important thing is that Hong'er likes him very much, so she didn't say anything.
Honger likes Hu San very much. If he were an ordinary child, he would have been scared away by Hu San's face, but he didn't seem to be afraid.
No, early in the morning he was digging soil in the yard, catching a little bug or something, and fiddling around with a small stick. Hu San didn't go anywhere, just watched him.
Seeing that Xue Tingxiang came out of the room, wearing an official uniform again, Hong'er knew that his father was going to be worth it.
"Father, come back and bring me fried chestnuts." Hong'er said without looking up, squatting in front of the flower bed.
"understood."
Hu San walked over and opened the courtyard door. After Xue Tingxiang went out, he closed the courtyard door. Xue Tingxiang glanced at him, and he also glanced at Xue Tingxiang.
Hu San always wondered if Master Xue saw something.
But why did he never ask him
Thinking of his own thoughts, Hu Sanyi limped to Honger's side.
Hong'er dug another earthworm from the soil. It looked very disgusting. This little boy was very enthusiastic. He had dug several worms, arranged one by one, and laid them on the ground.
If an earthworm crawled far away, he would use a small stick to pick them back, and he always wanted them to line up, and they had to line up neatly.
"Hu San, you said let's take these earthworms and go fishing, okay?"
"Little young master, let's go later. When the sun is not so hot, we will go to the little sea beside Huo Temple Street."
"Okay! Then I'll find a small jar to put this earthworm in, so that it won't die later." After saying that, Hong'er jumped up and rushed to the stove.
Zhao'er had long listened to his son outside, and when he saw this, he stood in front of the door and shouted: "You are not allowed to take the small jar that my mother washed, tell me how much you have smashed our house. You still have a small bowl. Put it under the stove, use that stuff."
"But that little bowl has no lid, and the earthworms will run away."
"That doesn't work either, you can only use that small bowl, and none of my mother's small jar can be moved." Zhao'er said with a stern face, ignoring Hong'er's begging.
Seeing this, Honger finally gave up the bitter meat plan, and jumped up and down to get his own small bowl to put earthworms in.
Zhao'er shook his head with a laugh. He didn't know who this child learned from. The older he got, the more cunning he became.
Zhao'er felt that when he was so young, he definitely didn't have so many things, so he followed the child's father.
She explained to Hu San and went to the front to open the store.
Now that the several families live separately, Lin Yanran, Xue Tao'er and the others can't help, so the store usually relies on her to take care of it. Fortunately, Wang Ji Huafang now does not only rely on store business, she only opens the door for half a day, and it closes in the afternoon.
In fact, Zhao'er also knew that this would not work. Since the shop has opened, and the shop is famous, how can it be so casual. But there was really no one to help her, so she could only bear it first.
She even planned to train Aunt Tu a few times, it would be best if she could be on her own.
Aunt Tu and the others are some of the women in the disaster victims this time. You said that it would be fine to let them do laundry, cook, and take care of children, but if you let them help look after the store. Zhao'er also mentioned this, but Aunt Tu and the others were all in awe, always afraid of ruining the business, so Zhao'er didn't force it.
Fortunately, she met a little daughter-in-law recently. The little daughter-in-law is a widow and has no relatives. She came to ask when she saw a notice posted in front of her shop saying that it was hiring a female assistant.
When she talked to the woman, she saw that she had a good conversation, and she could see that her upbringing was good, and she was quite pleased with her. The woman said she would come after the housework was settled, and today was the day the two agreed.
Zhao'er had just opened the store's door and made the first order of business when the woman came.
This person has a very good appearance, although he is wearing a plain dress, it is difficult to hide his color. Anyway, Zhao'er always sighs when he sees it, how could such a good person risk such a life.
"Sister Wan Qiong, you are here."
The woman was a little embarrassed and said, "Boss, you don't have to call me sister, just call me Wan Qiong."
Zhao'er smiled disapprovingly and said, "You are older than me, so I should call you sister. Come on, while it's still early and there's no business, I'll tell you something about our store. In fact, you Don't be too nervous, our shop is a woman's business, and communication is also a woman's home. Everything has a price, and of course there are certain fluctuations, you can make the decision, just tell me after the event... "
At the other end, Xue Tingxiang had already arrived at the Hanlin Academy.
This Imperial Academy is located on the side of the Sixth Government Office, alongside it, but a little further inward. There are three gates, and the last one is called Dengying Gate, which means that entering this gate is like stepping into Yingzhou and entering a fairyland.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Compared with the major government offices of the three provinces and six departments, the Hanlin Academy is like a fairyland. This is not like the government office of the imperial court, but rather like a more academic place like the academy.
But today was a little unusual. Xue Tingxiang entered the door. Because his ears are sharp, he has heard several people say that Wu Ge has recovered from his old illness and returned to the cabinet.
In fact, it wasn't that Xue Tingxiang had pointed ears, but that these people covered their ears and stole the bells, and said little things when they said little things. It seems that he also knows that Xue Tingxiang and Wu Ge have old grudges, as if he was afraid that he would hear it.
But what should be heard, people have heard it.
Xue Tingxiang entered the duty room. He had a separate duty room.
He went to make himself a cup of tea first, then sat down behind the desk and took the book to read, but his mind was not on the book.
Does this mean the war between the ruler and the minister, or did the minister win
Wu Ge is good at it!
When it was almost noon, someone solved his doubts.
Chen Jian is here.
Xue Tingxiang's current duty room is the one Chen Jian used before. He came to the Hanlin Academy on the pretext of leaving something behind.
Unlike Xue Tingxiang, Chen Jian has now been promoted, and it is obvious that he has a bright future in the future. So Xue Tingxiang was sitting in the duty room when he heard someone greet Chen Jian outside.
After a while, Chen Jian came in.
"Why are you free today?" Xue Tingxiang stood up to welcome the guests.
Chen Jian didn't delay, he explained his intentions for a moment, and then said: "Elder Wu Ge returned to the cabinet today. I was afraid that you would hear the rumors outside and feel uneasy, so you came here on purpose."
"Sit first, then talk."
Xue Tingxiang went to make him a cup of tea, and after Chen Jian sat down, he said: "Henan has flooded, but there is no silver for disaster relief in the household. He spent 200,000 taels of silver to help the court to help the disaster relief. Wu Ge Lao wrote again to beg for mercy, saying that Wu Wenxuan was the only male of the Wu family, and asked the sage to leave a root for the Wu family for the sake of his old age. "
Having said that, Chen Jian did not continue to speak, but Xue Tingxiang understood.
In fact, things are definitely not as simple as Chen Jian said, and if this kind of thing can be done, it is probably only Wu Ge who has such energy. It is necessary to take care of the face of the court and the face of Emperor Jiacheng, but also to achieve what you want. The battle and the effort required are far beyond what ordinary people think.
But the old Wu Ge was done, and Emperor Jiacheng also acquiesced. This is what he is capable of.
If not, how can there be a saying that Wu Ge is returning to the cabinet.
In fact, after the major fraud case of Cong Yiyouke, whoever was involved, ransacked their homes, exiled and beheaded them. But the disposition of the Wu family and even Wu Ge has not come out, Xue Tingxiang has such a clear understanding.
Emperor Jiacheng kept dragging it, not reconciled, but also for his own face.
Now that Wu Ge took the opportunity to take the initiative to ask for peace, and since all his face was taken care of by Emperor Jiacheng, he would definitely surrender, even if it was for the sake of the imperial court.
However, it is conceivable that Emperor Jiacheng must have accumulated anger in his heart at this time. But it is clear that the imperial court's honor and disgrace are naturally more important.
"Your Majesty is angry, but he turned his head and called back the old Wu Ge's confession, saying that the court can't be without Wu Ge, and the Jiangshan community can't be short of good ministers. Let Wu Ge go back to the cabinet quickly."
So old Wu Ge came back, and it can be imagined that he must be in high spirits at this time.
"The teacher told me about this, and the teacher asked me to tell you. The teacher said, don't take it too seriously. In the eyes of the public, even if he wants to do something, he won't do it in a big way." Chen Jian added. .
Xue Tingxiang nodded: "Thank you teacher for me, and thank you Ah Jian."
Chen Jian sighed: "Don't thank me, this is all I can do for you right now. In fact, don't worry too much about it. Wu Ge's old family has been frustrated and lost a lot of people. Now he won't act rashly and dare not. Acting rashly. It’s just that you still have to be cautious, so as not to get the other party’s secret hand. Now you are staying in the Hanlin Academy, he will not stretch his hand here.”
Xue Tingxiang was silent.
The two talked for a while, and Chen Jian left in a hurry. He was just an excuse to find things, and it was not suitable for him to stay for too long.
After he left, Xue Tingxiang brought a piece of paper and wrote a few words on it.
They are Henan, Wu Gelao, and Hu San.
He wrote a circle around Henan, another circle around Wu Gelao, and then a line was drawn between the two circles. After staring blankly for a long time, he got up and burned the piece of paper.
