Man Bao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other and then told them about sneaking into Yan's house next door today.

Mr. Zhuang didn't have any mood swings at all. He was obviously prepared for the three children's naughty behavior, so he listened quietly to what they said.

When he heard that Man Bao had recited the two paragraphs she had memorized, Mr. Zhuang's expression changed. He was silent for a while and asked, "Where is the booklet?"

"Daji took it away," Bai Shanbao said, "He didn't show it to us. He said he had sent it back to my grandmother."

Mr. Zhuang subconsciously looked out the window and saw a figure there, which was obviously Daji.

The three children obviously didn't mind Daji knowing that they told him about this, and similarly, Daji wasn't afraid that he knew.

But think about it, this matter is not important, what is important is the content in the booklet.

Mr. Zhuang rubbed his forehead and asked, "What do you want?"

Mr. Zhuang glanced at the confused Bai Erlang, his eyes fell on Bai Shanbao and Manbao, and asked: "What do you think after knowing that there is such a booklet?"

Man Bao said blankly: "We don't want to do anything. We just think that this is evidence of crime and shouldn't it be handed over to the court?"

Mr. Zhuang sighed and asked, "Who should I leave it to?"

Bai Shanbao said with some lack of confidence: "Leave it to Magistrate Tang?"

This is also the only official they know in Yizhou, and he is also in charge of Yan's house.

"What will happen after Magistrate Tang accepts the case?" Mr. Zhuang leaned on the head of the bed and pressed his hands to let them sit on the footrest.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao sat down, and Bai Erlang also sat down together. They thought for a while and said, "Should we impeach the superior and hand over the evidence to Dali Temple?"

"Yizhou is the fiefdom of King Yizhou. Do you think his evidence can be safely sent to Dali Temple in the capital?" Mr. Zhuang paused and then said: "Even, the evidence in your hands can be safely sent to Tang Dynasty.

In the hands of the county magistrate?"

Not only Manbao and Bai Shanbao, but also Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide, "Will they still kill people and silence them?"

"Silly boy, the account book you are looking at begins with the ninth year of Dazhen, and there was a flood in the tenth year of Dazhen. Don't you know how much money they were greedy for?" Mr. Zhuang said: "Think about what happened three years ago.

How many people died in the flood, how many officials were killed afterwards, it just cost you a few more lives, what's wrong with it?"

Man Bao was a little angry and raised his head to speak. Mr. Zhuang continued: "Not only you, but also the family members behind you."

Man Bao's anger froze and he opened his mouth wide.

"So it's right for Daji to take it away. Now that you are still young, you can't control this matter."

Bai Shanbao asked in disbelief, "Then, don't worry about it?" This was different from the education he had received since childhood.

Mr. Zhuang reached out and patted his head and said: "Wait for the opportunity."

He said: "You are young now, and you can always see immediate results in what you do, but you have to know that most things in this world cannot see results in a short time."

"When you sow in spring, you have to wait until autumn to harvest. You learned literature when you were three years old, but you didn't take the imperial examination until now. It may take you until you reach the imperial examination, or even longer before you can become an official. This is also the same thing," Zhuang

The gentleman said slowly: "As for the King of Yizhou, we have to wait until the time comes."

Bai Shanbao and Manbao meditate.

Mr. Zhuang did not rush them, but let them sit and think.

After a while, Bai Shanbao nodded and said: "Sir, I understand. I will keep this in my heart instead of saying it in my mouth and wait for the opportunity to come."

Man Bao also nodded.

Mr. Zhuang was very satisfied, thought for a while and said: "In the past two days, take out the "Book of Han" and "Book of the Later Han" and take a look. Don't just look at it superficially, but look at it carefully and count them carefully.

, there are several officials who were cut off."

Man Bao blinked and nodded blankly along with Bai Shanbao.

Of course, the officials who were beheaded in the "Book of Han" and "Book of the Later Han" are not listed explicitly, and they have to be read carefully. For example, the first chapter of the "Book of the Later Han" is the Chronicle of Emperor Guangwu.

There was a war, and not counting the casualties during this period, just the soldiers with names and surnames, you hit me, I hit you, a lot of people died.

During this period, it was common for you to attack me and me to oppose you, and Mr. Zhuang was not just asking them to count their heads.

Why was that head chopped off, why was the head missing, what was the life of that head, and what happened to the head after its death.

In this way, the books they want to read are not just "Hanshu" and "Houhanshu".

Mr. Zhuang listed the questions they needed to answer on a piece of paper. After handing it to them, he waved his hand and said, "You should also go back and rest."

Bai Shanbao looked at the questions on the paper and finally remembered something very serious, "Sir, I still have to prepare for the national education exam."

So where do you have the time to find answers to so many questions?

Mr. Zhuang said quietly: "You have time to drill holes in the wall, but don't you have time to read?"

Bai Shanbao shrunk his neck and walked out with a guilty conscience. Man Bao did not dare to speak and followed obediently. Bai Erlang looked gloating on his misfortune.

When they got outside, Daji was standing in the yard watching them.

Bai Shanbao had no time to pay attention to him now and went back to the house dejectedly.

Daji watched silently and waited until their lights were on before knocking on the door and entering Mr. Zhuang's room.

Mr. Zhuang did not lie down to sleep, but sat at the table. When Daji came in, he motioned for him to sit down and answer.

Mr. Zhuang is now taking the high amount of money from Mr. Liu and Mr. Bai to teach Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang. Of course, the money is not free.

In this era, masters and apprentices who formally become apprentices are like father and son, and their interests are the same.

So Daji didn't want to hide this from Mr. Zhuang at first.

He recounted what happened today in detail, and what he said was slightly different from what the three young masters said. For example: Miss Man seemed to know that there was something hidden on the wall, and she directly reached out to touch the wall.

However, Mr. Zhuang ignored this matter and asked directly: "Where is the booklet?"

"The younger one has been sent back to Qili Village."

"Can that person be trusted?"

"It's trustworthy. She's a servant of our Bai family. The old lady has opened a shop in Yizhou City. The stewards and clerks there are trustworthy."

Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the Bai family had a shop in Yizhou.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "Your old lady trusts me, and I can trust your young master as well."

Daji lowered his head and explained: "That shop was bought two years ago."

He paused and then said: "A aunt from our Bai family has married to Yizhou City. Before coming, the old lady said that if the young master can pass the entrance examination, he will pay a visit to his house. If he cannot pass the entrance examination, please listen to me.

Sir, if you go on a study tour elsewhere, there is no need to come and disturb you."

Mr. Zhuang understood as soon as he heard that, although the relatives were related by blood, their relationship was probably ordinary and not very close, so there was no need to bother him on a daily basis.

He nodded, "I understand, you have to keep an eye on them these days and don't let them run away again."
