    In the painting boat.

    "I'm sorry, Zheng Kuan, I called out your real name when I got excited." Xu Fan said with a fake apology and a smile: "Please do it, I won't force you to stay."

    Zheng Yuanshao was as if he was coiled by a poisonous snake. He was so full of fear that he did not dare to move.

    "Why, you changed your mind again?" Xu Ying also laughed strangely and said, "Then come in and have another drink."

    "Alas" Zheng Yuanshao sighed in exhaustion and walked back to his seat like a zombie.

    "Where did you hear this name?" He looked at the void and asked numbly.

    "Haha." Xu Fan played with the jasper wine glass in his hand and said in the tone of a cat playing with a mouse:

    "This is what happens in this world. If you don't want others to know about it, you have to do nothing about it. You think you did it flawlessly, but in fact it has been clearly seen by others. It's just that the time has not come yet, so it has not been exposed."

    "Ah" Zheng Yuanshao was no longer lucky, his knees went weak and he collapsed on the ground.

    On the stage, the sea of ????dharma sings: "Look at the pure Buddha gate, surrounded by auspicious clouds, hearing the bells and chimes, and driving away ghosts and ghosts"

    Xu Xian hesitated and said: "Is this a monk"

    Fahai Duan shouted: "You are still hesitating and lingering, she will show her ferociousness long ago!"

    ??~~

    Xu Ying was actually confused and asked her elder brother: "What is the relationship between Zheng Kuan and Zheng Yuanzhao?"

    Xu Fan waved his hand, the music stopped suddenly, and the troupe and the female historian left silently.

    He then smiled and said:

    "Zheng Kuan's real name is Zheng Yuanzhao, and he also went to school. Unfortunately, studying is very dependent on talent. His cousin Zheng Yuanshao, who went to school with him, had already been selected for the exam, but he never took the exam. Later, he had to give up his fame.  I thought about it and found a private school to study in."

    "Twenty years ago, Zheng Yuanshao suddenly fell ill and died suddenly before going to Beijing for a big challenge. Zheng Yuanzhao had a flash of inspiration and saw a chance for a salted fish to be reborn. He persuaded his aunt with his eloquent words, pretended to be Zheng Yuanshao, and went to Beijing to participate in the big challenge.  I picked, but I was lucky, and I was picked right away.¡±

    "What the hell, can you still play like this?" Xu Ying was dumbfounded.

    ?????????? Actually, this is nothing to make a fuss about.  Because there are no photos or even portraits on the Ming Dynasty's identity documents. They only use words to indicate the person's appearance and characteristics, such as "mid body, white face without beard", "long body, yellow face and curly beard".  Even if they are not related by blood, it is possible for them to get away with it, let alone cousins.

    Of course, officials are passed through the examinations one by one, and so many teachers and commanders of the same year will recognize you.  The Ming Dynasty was also a social society. After becoming an official, relatives and friends flocked to seek refuge. It was almost impossible for a fake person to avoid revealing his secrets.

    "Zheng Yuanzhao was able to get away with it, firstly, because he looked similar to Zheng Yuanshao, and he bribed Zheng Yuanshao's mother. In order to benefit from it, relatives and friends would naturally help him hide it.

    "Furthermore, Zheng Yuanshao was a scholar of the same year, and he did not have the same year as the Jinshi. When he was sent to work as an official, he would not encounter the same year of the juren of the same province, so the risk of being exposed was naturally greatly reduced.

    ¡°More than ten or twenty years have passed, and he himself can¡¯t even remember who ¡®Zheng Yuanzhao¡¯ is, and he should not be discovered by others.

    But how could Xu Fan tell the truth with one word?

    Zheng Yuanshao couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to, so naturally Xu Fan wouldn't tell him.

    The unknown is the best breeding ground for fear. He had to make Zheng Yuanshao fall into boundless fear before he could knead it at will.

    "Zheng Kuan has been serving as an official for his brother for twenty years. He has always been known as an honest and capable official, and his official reputation is very outstanding." He asked the pale "Zheng Yuanshao" with a smile:

    "But I'm curious. If you replace your cousin as an official, you are in danger of being exposed at any time. Why don't you enjoy yourself in time? Why do you have to suffer so much?"

    "Haha" I just heard Zheng Yuanzhao let's call him Zheng Yuanshao, and said with a sad smile:

    "You young men who have achieved high-ranking positions by relying on the support of your ancestors will not understand the suffering of us lower-class scholars."

    "I started my education at the age of six, not to mention having my head hung up and my buttocks stabbed, but I also studied hard day and night for twenty years, and I never dared to slack off for a day." Zheng Yuanshao recalled with a bitter look on his face:

    "My parents almost went bankrupt in order to support my education. They even sold the dowry they prepared for my sister. But what they got in exchange? I failed again and again. I was unwilling to accept it, but I couldn't see the whole family being affected by me anymore, so I had to  I left the county school and went to teach in a library"

    "I taught for ten years in the countryside to a bunch of kids who didn't understand shit. You can't understand how I survived those ten years. If my mother didn't still need support, I would have jumped into the river and died.  "As he spoke, he wiped away the tears he couldn't help but shed, and said with a strange smile:

    "At this time, it appearedThis is an opportunity, an opportunity that allows me to use what I have learned in my life, of course I have to seize it!  "

    Zheng Yuanshao exhaled a long breath, and his distracted eyes refocused.

    "I am replacing my cousin as an official, not for the sake of glory and wealth, I just want to try my best to prove that even though I, Zheng Yuanzhao, did not pass the imperial examination, I can still be a good official! And I am better than those officials who are on the right track!"

    ¡°I want to prove that it¡¯s not that I¡¯m incompetent, I just lack an opportunity! It¡¯s the Ming Dynasty that doesn¡¯t give me a chance!!¡±

    Zheng Yuanshao was completely immersed in his emotions, and his face became ferocious.

    Xu Fan was accustomed to seeing all kinds of people around Mr. Xu Ge.

    He picked up the tea cup, gently skimmed off the foam and said, "Zheng Kuan's words should be left to talk to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

    "No, you can't!" Zheng Yuanshao jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "I can't let people know that I am not who I am. Then everything I have done in the past twenty years will become a laughing stock!  "

    "No, absolutely not" Zheng Yuanshao's face changed with a look of fear, despair, and unwillingness.

    In the end, all he had left was a look of begging, and he lowered his head and said: "I really can't be beaten back to my original shape, that would be more terrifying than killing me."

    "How about the kindness of knowing and meeting Lin Zhongcheng?" Xu Fan asked secretly.

    "Nothing can compare, nothing is more important than these twenty years of official career" Zheng Yuanshao was beaten to pieces, and there was no room for weakness, and there was no dignity or integrity at all.

    "Don't worry, brother, these twenty years of being an official will not be in vain." Xu Fan handed the teacup to Zheng Yuanshao and looked at him condescendingly.

    Zheng Yuanshao looked at the bowl of tea, raised and put his hands down, hesitated for a long time, and finally took the bowl of tea tremblingly.

    Then, with the brothers of the Xu family looking down, he drank it with tears.

    "Hahaha, you will be mine from now on. With the protection of the Xu family, you will be indestructible, and you will be able to do the same for the governor in the future."

    Seeing Zheng Yuanshao bowing his head in submission, Xu Fan laughed proudly for a while, then helped him up from the ground and said:

    "Now I will give you the first task, cooperate with us to disturb Qingzhang's land."

    With that said, Xu Fan took out a meeting ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Zheng Yuanshao.

    "Take it and take care of the people below."

    The amount on the meeting ticket is "five thousand taels", which is quietly less than half of the one just now.
