Chapter 62 The Mysterious Man in Black Robe
"The way of business is the lowest, so it has never been taken seriously."
"Reform is difficult, as difficult as climbing to heaven."
Qin Wenyuan was deeply moved.
Hearing this, the hot-headed Wei Zheng also realized the pros and cons and couldn't help frowning.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask: "Then... if we want to resolve this situation, we must first support a new family? A new family that is loyal to Your Majesty?"
Perhaps, even he himself did not know how respectful his tone was at this moment.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and continued, "This is inevitable, so Lord Wei, if you want to implement the business principles in my test questions, it will take some time."
Wei Zheng nodded, "I will report this to your Majesty!"
"Master Qin, let's put this aside. In this imperial examination, whether it's poetry, classics, or strategy, the answers you gave are the most perfect in my eyes."
"It can even be said that since the establishment of the imperial examination, no candidate has been able to compare with you!"
"If the merchant reform alone is successful..."
Wei Zheng raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "It is enough for Master Qin to make your name known in history and be remembered forever!"
"Mr. Qin, you are such a talented person, are you willing to consider joining the government and serving the country?"
This is also one of the purposes of his trip.
Generally speaking , most people took the imperial examination in order to join the officialdom, but Qin Wenyuan was too low-key in the past.
Low-key...
Let everyone think he is a lazy prodigal.
But I didn't expect how terrifying it would be once he showed his strength!
So even Wei Zheng couldn't figure out Qin Wenyuan's real thoughts.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "Sir Wei, everything depends on the results of the imperial examination."
Hearing this, Wei Zheng was touched.
Is Qin Wenyuan's statement a disguised admission?
Afterwards, the two chatted about some details again and Wei Zheng left.
Qin Wenyuan said that if possible, he would keep him for dinner.
But Wei Zheng refused and left in a hurry, which made Qin Wenyuan speechless.
…
The night is pitch black.
Ruyi Tea Shop, in the lobby.
Lu Dinghai, Lu Qian and other important staff members of Ruyi Tea Shop were waiting respectfully in the lobby, as if they were waiting for some important person.
Ever since Qin Wenyuan killed dozens of Lu Dinghai's assassins seven days ago, Lu Dinghai has been staying in Ruyi Tea Shop.
And now, the third son of the Lu family's patriarch has to wait for everyone like this, which shows how important the person who comes is.
The person they were waiting for was actually the master that Lu Dinghai mentioned!
While waiting, Lu Dinghai talked about other things.
"That Qin Wenyuan, he still refuses to give in? Even if he sets the price, he still won't give in?" Lu Dinghai frowned.
Lu Qian replied: "That's right, Third Young Master. I think this matter is hanging in the balance. We still need to use hard means!"
"snort!"
Lu Dinghai snorted coldly, "This Qin Wenyuan really won't back down even if I give him a chance. I didn't bother him enough for killing dozens of my assassins and Li Lu, but he's still making excuses on this matter."
"There's nothing we can do. It just so happens that the master is coming over tonight. Once he arrives, we will immediately take strong measures against the Changyuan Tea Shop!"
Hearing this, Lu Qian and Li Xiaoran were delighted.
Among the people present, they two had the greatest hatred towards Qin Wenyuan. Now that they were about to completely turn against Qin Wenyuan, they were also the happiest.
Lu Qian changed the subject and said, "Third Master, it is said that..."
"That master arrived in Chang'an yesterday."
Lu Dinghai nodded, "That's right."
"Then, why did he meet us tonight? Didn't you invite him here so that he could help us deal with Qin Wenyuan? Why did he waste a whole day and disappear without a trace?"
The words fell.
Lu Dinghai also frowned .
This is also what confused him .
He didn't understand, so he just replied calmly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
This time, Lu Qian completely shut up.
Soon, after some time, the mysterious master they had been thinking about finally arrived!
"The master is here!" a servant shouted.
A group of people hurried out to greet them.
Outside Ruyi Tea House, they only saw one person.
The man was completely covered in a black robe, making it impossible to see his face.
Looking at his face, he was wearing a black mask, which combined with the atmosphere of the night, was really eerie and scary.
Beside him, there were four other people who were also covering their faces.
"This..." Lu Qian was stunned.
Lu Dinghai, on the other hand, was accustomed to what the master in front of him did.
He said calmly: "Master Huaji, you are finally here."
The black-robed man called Master Huaji nodded but did not answer.
Afterwards, the group walked into the tea shop.
In the tea shop.
The man in black robe and Lu Dinghai sat in the first seat.
Lu Dinghai respectfully offered tea while asking, "Master Huaji, let me not get into too much detail. How should we deal with Qin Wenyuan?"
"These past few days, I have also followed your instructions and cleaned my Ruyi Tea Shop inside and out. Except for a few people, all other people have been replaced with trusted confidants."
"I guarantee there won't be any more traitors here."
Hearing this, the man in black robe shook his head.
"No."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was extremely low, as if he was suppressing his real voice.
"Mr. Lu, you didn't clean it well."
These words made Lu Dinghai frown.
Then, the man in black robe continued: "Do you know why I have to cover my face?"
Lu Dinghai shook his head.
"Because the guard beside Qin Wenyuan and his uncle are our old rivals."
"Because of them, we have to change our appearance, even cover our faces, and appear like this all day long."
The man in black robe paused and continued, "The uncle next to Qin Wenyuan is named Hu Guang. He was a general of the Sui Dynasty more than ten years ago."
"What!!!"
Lu Dinghai was shocked when he heard this.
He stood up with a snap, "Remnants of the Sui Dynasty?!"
The black-robed man nodded, "And Qin Wenyuan's bodyguard is a death warrior that Hu Guang has been training closely for more than ten years."
"They are quite famous in the Yizhou area. They are escorts of the Yangwu Escort Agency. They never fail in escorting, and they also leave all kinds of information behind..."
"People in the martial arts world call his guards the Eight Shadow Assassins."
At this point, the black-robed man smiled softly, "But this is only on the surface. In fact, there are twelve such assassins in total."
"The real situation is, the Twelve Shadow Thorns!"
"These twelve shadow thorns come and go without a trace, very mysterious, so I have to hide my identity."
"in addition……"
The man in black robe paused, then said , "I have to admit that I underestimated Qin Wenyuan before."
"Qin Wenyuan is a man of great talent. Now, as long as he waits for the imperial examination to be over, he will be able to pass the imperial examination without any accidents."
"They are a group of people who are very difficult to deal with."
