C55 (1/2)

Zhou Leping was used to waking up early, and after he woke up, he would practice a set of fist techniques before going to the morning court. While she was practicing, Qi Miao would come over to report on Young Master Tang's achievements.

His real name is Tang Zhaoyin, his father is the biggest medicinal ingredient merchant in Jiangnan, Tang Gong. He came to participate in the Imperial Examinations this time, and Young Master Tang has always had a loose personality in Jiangnan, he does not have a good reputation. As for taking the entrance exams, he is actually an ungrateful person who cannot recite any of the four books and five scriptures.

”Foster father?” Zhou Leping took a stance, the wind from his palms bringing up two strands of hair at the sides of his temples, ”Who is it?”

”Lin Jing.”

”Lin Jing!”

She was so shocked by the news that she almost twisted her ankle, ”I said that last time I met him, how could he be so sure that he would be the top scorer? He has Lin Jing supporting him from behind.”

”The General cut off one of his arms and one of his legs yesterday. Lin Jing's hatred for the General went even deeper.”

She waved her hand without a care, ”He was the one who brought this upon himself. I was talking in such a big tone, so there was actually a godfather who was a Secretary of State.”

”In the assembly today, Lin Jing will definitely think of a way to cause trouble for the general. You must be careful when you speak.”

”I'm afraid of him!” Last night, he sent some people to hide a slip of paper in Zhou Zheng's house in an attempt to slander me as having something to do with Wu Yu. Luckily I found out in time, otherwise, it would be hard to explain what was going on in the imperial court today. ”

The voice got closer and closer. After Zhu Guanliang finished flipping through the herbs on the table, he raised his head just in time to see Zhou Leping's scrutinized gaze.

”What kind of herbs are you drying so early in the morning?”

He pointed behind him, ”If we wait for the sun to rise, we can do it. When it's settled, the sun will go out too.”

The last two sacks were filled with medicinal herbs. It was enough for her to smell the scent, but even though he treated her everyday, she didn't feel annoyed.

”I heard that General was talking about Young Master Tang. Did you meet him outside the city last time?”

”Yeah.”

”Actually, it's quite good for him to be the top scholar.”

Zhou Leping suspected that he had overheard her, ”What did you say? Say that again! ”

”The top scholar of high school is a member of the imperial government. If he were to be found cheating on the Imperial examinations after high school and the essays were falsified, when the time comes, wouldn't the person behind him be even more difficult to defend?”

That's right, Lin Jing's forces were all tangled up together in the court, if she wanted to bring him down, she didn't need to make a move on him, it was just like the dream she had last night. As long as she could poke that point in the emperor's heart and destroy the trust the emperor had in him, everything would be resolved.

The emperor set his eyes on Imperial examinations the most, his eyes could not bear to see a single grain of sand, so from the looks of it, Tang Zhaoyin was actually a good chess piece.

But when these words came out of Zhu Guanliang's mouth, it still made Zhou Leping a little surprised, ”Why are you helping me?”

Zhu Guanliang smiled indifferently, looked at Qi Miao and asked, ”Will the general ask him why he helped you?”

”Of course not, he's my man, my soldier.”
