Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 72

This time after Shen Jiayao went back, the auntie started to arrange a marriage for him. If it was before, with Shen Jiayao's appearance and temper, it would be very difficult for Shen Jiayao to find a good marriage.

But now that the life of the eldest son of the Shen family is better, and with the presence of his talented cousin Shen Chenyu, Shen Jiayao's worth has also risen accordingly.

Especially after Shen Jiayao stayed in Fucheng for a few months, he not only grew up, but also became more beautiful. When he was walking around the village these days, many young men in the village stared at him.

At first, Shen Jiayao didn't realize that something was wrong, but it was only after Yun Xuanxuan reminded him that he realized that everyone's attitude towards him had changed.

Shen Jiayao was spoiled by her aunt, she was not very easy to get along with and a bit mean. Now that the Shen family has followed Shen Chenyu, he no longer looks down on those honest bumpkins. On the contrary, after getting in touch with a scholar like Shen Chenyu, now he only wants to marry a scholar who can read and write.

Most of the farmers also worship scholars, so when the auntie and the others heard his thoughts, they also thought it would be good to find someone who could read.

So in the following period of time, most of the people that Dafang chose for Shen Jiayao to look at were scholars from the town. If it wasn't for the embarrassment to trouble Shen Chenyu, the aunt of the Shen family would have wanted to trouble the other party to help the Shen family key take a look.

When the eldest son of the Shen family was busy showing the key to the Shen family, the Liangzhou mansion on the other side was extremely lively. Because of the beauty ointment incident during this period, Shen's rouge shop in Qingcheng County has robbed a lot of business, and Shen Mingxian is currently investigating the beauty ointment incident intensively.

When Mu Linting chose merchants back then, he deliberately chose two families that were at odds with the Shen family in Qingcheng County. Now is the time for these two merchants to make money, even if Shen Mingxian wants to show weakness to the two of them now, they will not give up the wealth and wealth in front of them for him.

In addition, Mu Linting used a disguise mask, and even his identity was forged. Even if Shen Mingxian noticed that there was something wrong with the beauty cream, he couldn't find the slightest flaw.

It was the day of delivery again, and Shen Mingxian's people had ambushed around early in the morning, waiting for Mu Linting to throw the goods into the net.

In order to find out when Mu Linting delivered the goods, Shen Mingxian's people had been squatting for three months in a row, and only then did they know the place and time of their delivery.

Now that they have been planning for so long, they are waiting for Mu Linting to come to the door with the goods, and then they will come to catch the turtle.

As usual, Mu Linting came here with a face-changing mask and goods. Before he entered the small building in front of him, he had already spotted the person hiding.

Now Mu Linting's body training technique has been cultivated to the eighth level, which is almost three or four times his original strength in his heyday. Before he came to this small building, he had already sensed that something was wrong here from a distance.

But now he's not sure why the other party came here, and he doesn't know if it's the people sent by those two merchants, or someone is thinking about the beauty cream? So Mu Linting pretended not to know anything, and planned to enter the small building to find out what was going on inside.

Just when Shen Mingxian's people were full of confidence and thought they could catch Mu Linting immediately, what happened next was completely out of their control.

Because just when they were planning to attack Mu Linting, Mu Linting seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, turning over was like kicking a person away.

Before Mu Linting wasn't sure why they came, but now, once he found out that they had strong malice, he immediately threw them all down without mercy.

Seeing this, the person hiding in the courtyard of the small building originally wanted to report to Shen Ming, but an arrow suddenly flew out and shot directly at the opponent's leg.

Mu Linting put down the cargo box on his body and patted the clothes that had been soiled from the fight before sitting down and asking who they were.

A group of people stumbling around on the ground realized the gap between them and Mu Linting at this time. Looking at Mu Linting's face that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, they didn't know why they just felt cold all of a sudden.

Just when Mu Linting was about to lose patience and was about to try his sword with one of them, a smarter person immediately spoke.

"I said, I said everything, it's...it's the young son of the Shen family, Shen Mingxian, who sent us here to kill people and rob goods." At first, the

other party was a little afraid of Mu Linting, but later, in order to get out alive today, he put The cause and effect of the matter was said again.

Afterwards, with the help of these people, Mu Linting found the arrested person sent by the merchant to pick up the goods, and led a group of people to find two merchants.

This matter involves the interests of both of them, and Mu Linting doesn't want to take care of everything by himself. And to deal with a businessman like Shen Mingxian, the best way is to let someone who is also a businessman take action.

When they heard that Shen Mingxian wanted to sabotage their business, but was still killing people and stealing goods in their territory, the faces of the two merchants immediately sank.

The reason why they were able to be approached by Mu Linting was that apart from their previous conflict with Shen Ming, the more important reason was that they were relatively powerful. Only when they have their own strength can they keep the beauty cream business and save Mu Linting a lot of trouble.

Mu Linting delivered the goods this time, and after receiving last month's dividends, he handed over the rest to them. When Mu Linting left with the money, the two merchants led people to the door of Shen's house. If Shen Mingxian didn't give them an explanation for this matter, then he would wait for the government to deal with it.

After Mu Linting dealt with this matter, he didn't immediately turn back and go to Shen's house. Instead, he went to the bank to change the bank notes into silver, and then rode a horse to a small town outside the city.

When Shen Chenyu was taking a rest last month, Mu Linting and Shen Chenyu went to pick a horse together. This is a big pure black horse with a bad temper in a group of horses, and only Mu Linting dares to buy such a horse.

Shen Chenyu tried to ride a horse before, but unfortunately the horse was not only unwilling, but almost threw Shen Chenyu off the horse. Fortunately, Mu Linting was standing by the side, and Shen Chenyu's current skill is not bad, otherwise he would have suffered a lot if he fell like this.

Mu Linting rode a horse all the way to the small town, and then found a family while asking for directions according to the address that Xiang Zhen had investigated before.

Before he came to the door of this family, he heard particularly harsh shouting and cursing in the yard.

"Eat, eat, eat, you are a cripple with a broken leg. You just want to eat and eat all day long. Why don't you make you die?" Yes, with a slightly sour face. At this time, he was standing impatiently with his waist pinched, his triangular eyes fixedly staring at the man on crutches opposite him.

"What? Am I wrong? What kind of eyes are you looking at? What am I wrong about? You are a piece of trash!"

The man was fairly well-born, but it was a pity that he had a broken leg and a long scar on his face. The long scars make the whole person seem a little scary.

This man is called Han Lilang, who used to be Mu Linting's military adviser in the army, and like Xiang Zhen, Mu Linting's right-hand man. Similarly...he is also one of the few people who has never betrayed Mu Linting.

Most of the people who betrayed Mu Linting are doing well today. The few people who were loyal to him were either killed or injured.

Han Lilang's leg was cut off by the prince just because of Mu Linting's intercession. No matter how much credit he has made before, in the end, because of Mu Linting, he was completely wiped out, and his life now is even worse than that of an ordinary person.

This cursing husband is Han Lilang's elder brother's husband. Probably because Han Lilang broke a leg, not only can't help the family make money, but also eats and drinks for free at home, so his sister-in-law will vent her anger on him.

When Xiangzhen went out to investigate things before, she accidentally found Han Lilang in a very embarrassing situation. Thinking that he was disgusted in every possible way at home, it would be better to go back to the general like him.

Although the current general is just an ordinary husband. But at least the general will not dislike them, and they will not betray the general either. As long as they continue to support each other, Xiang Zhen feels that any difficulties will not be a problem.

In the eyes of others, Han Lilang broke a leg and became a waste, but Xiangzhen knew it was not. Han Lilang's most useful thing is his mind, so it doesn't matter whether his legs are injured or not.

As for why he has such a good mind, why is he living so uselessly at home. In fact, the main reason was the same as that of Xiang Zhen, Han Lilang thought their general was dead, so no matter what he did, he didn't have a plan in mind.

In addition, Han Lilang's family did not treat him well, so he was even more unwilling to work hard. Because no matter how much money he can earn, his family will grab it in the end.

When Mu Linting knew about Han Lilang at first, his first reaction was not to want to recognize Han Lilang. Because he was not sure whether the other party followed him, whether it was lucky or unlucky for Han Lilang.

Later, it was Xiangzhen who told about Han Lilang's situation, and Mu Linting couldn't help but come to visit him for a while, and then bumped into the scene where Han Lilang was being scolded.

Obviously this family does not look poor, but because of such trivial matters as eating, Han Lilang will be pointed and scolded by his sister-in-law.

And looking at Han Lilang's reaction, it seems that such insults are commonplace, because his eyes can't see the slightest fluctuation.

In the end, Mu Linting knocked on the courtyard door, thinking of the high-spirited military adviser who followed him, the life of the other party should not be like this. Mu Linting is a protective person, he doesn't want Han Lilang to live like this. Since the other party is not doing well at home, why not...

"Since your family dislikes him so much, why don't you sell him to me?"

The man who hadn't responded all this time suddenly raised his head when he heard this voice, and then I saw a very strange face.

No, no, the voice clearly belonged to the general, but... this face is wrong? Han Lilang's eyes flickered slightly, and soon he thought of something, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

No, he would never mishear the general's voice, thinking of the general's current sensitive situation. If the other party does not want to implicate them, it is indeed possible to deliberately conceal their identity.

Han Lilang's sister-in-law's eyes lit up when she heard the words, they wanted to sell Han Lilang before. It's a pity that because Han Lilang broke one, even if he sold it to the toothmaid, he couldn't sell it for a good price.

Although he was puzzled that this person came suddenly, but because his heart was full of money, he said without thinking, "Really?"

Mu Linting looked at him coldly and said, "Really."
