A female novel about traveling through a book? Learn about the power of the overlord at the beginnin

Are there any talents in the Qi Wang Mansion?

Of course there are, or rather, there were at the beginning.

However, these talents were either spotted by Mr. Wu and secretly transformed into the people of the King of Yong, or secretly excluded by Mr. Wu and became marginal figures.

Some even chose to leave the Qi Wang Mansion because they were frustrated.

With Mr. Wu, a traitor, there was no way that the King of Qi could have real talents around him.

Take Chu Heng for example. In order to deal with him, Mr. Wu directly mobilized the power of the family in secret, so that the King of Qi almost had to resign from the position of the leader of Chu Heng's personal guards under pressure.

This is Chu Heng, who has long known that Mr. Wu had bad intentions, so he made preparations for countermeasures in advance.

If it were replaced by other talents, who would have thought that Mr. Wu, the most trusted person around the King of Qi, would be one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and would"backstab" himself?

If Chu Heng was really removed from the position of the leader of the personal guards, in the heart of the King of Qi, he would only feel that Chu Heng's talents were not suitable for the position of the leader of the personal guards.

Similarly, the talents who were ruined by Mr. Wu were in a similar situation. In the mind of the King of Qi, these people have long been labeled as"mediocrities".

In this case, it is impossible for the King of Qi's Mansion to have talents recognized by the King of Qi.

And Chu Heng keenly saw the"business opportunity" from here.

Isn't his intelligence organization"Ghost" in urgent need of talents to build it?

No, where to find talents, isn't it the answer?

Mr. Wu secretly played tricks on everything, and those who were marginalized and frustrated in the King of Qi's Mansion, aren't they the backbone of building the Ghost organization?!

Now that the matter of the personal guard camp has come to an end, Chu Heng finally has the energy to invest in the establishment of"Ghost".

And the first talent Chu Heng found was a poor boy named Xu Han.

This person is now a third-class guest official in the King of Qi's Mansion, which is the lowest level, and has been eating and waiting to die in the King of Qi's Mansion.

And Xu Han is also one of the"talents" persecuted by Mr. Wu.

Xu Han, like Chu Heng, recommended himself. After failing the imperial examination, he decided to join the Qi Wang Mansion to seek a future.

At first, the Qi Wang thought that this person was quite talented and valued him.

Therefore, the Qi Wang appointed this person to be responsible for the tribute from Jiangnan.

The so-called tribute from Jiangnan means that the noble families in Jiangnan will collect resources from time to time and then input them into the Qi Wang Mansion to support the"cause" of the Qi Wang.

And that time, Xu Han was the direct person in charge of the tribute resources.

But"coincidentally", there was a huge deficit in that tribute.

When the resources arrived at the Qi Wang Mansion, they were much less than the Qi Wang had imagined.

The Qi Wang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. After checking, he found that many resources disappeared inexplicably during the process.

If there was no definite evidence, the Qi Wang would have identified Xu Han as the one who secretly embezzled these resources. If it weren't for Mr. Wu's"plea", the Qi Wang would have wanted to kill Xu Han for such a dereliction of duty.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu was"righteous" and said a lot of good things for Xu Han, which calmed the King of Qi.

However, after this incident, Xu Han's future was completely ruined. He could only be a third-class guest official and live on the"minimum living allowance" in the King of Qi's mansion.

In fact, the King of Qi wanted to drive Xu Han out of the King of Qi's mansion, but Mr. Wu gave another suggestion.

"Xu Han committed the fault of negligence. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi could still keep this person in the palace, it would show His Royal Highness's magnanimity. Then, the talents in the world would surely come to him, feeling the spirit of the Prince of Qi."

The Prince of Qi deeply agreed with this, so he reluctantly kept him.

During this period, Chu Heng had actually been paying attention to the various"talents" in the Prince of Qi's Palace.

And Xu Han was the one who caught Chu Heng's eye at the first time.

The intelligence collected showed that this person was an extremely filial person. After experiencing the tribute case, Xu Han was disheartened and had the idea of leaving.

But his mother at home was ill all year round. If he didn't have the salary of the third-class guest official in the Prince of Qi's Palace, he might not even have the money to see a doctor.

After being disheartened, Xu Han lived a life of eating and waiting to die in the Prince of Qi's Palace, and spent all his energy on taking care of his mother.

In addition, from secret observation, Xu Han is still a very principled person.

Even if he was reduced to a third-class guest official, he never fawned on others. He did his job silently every day without communicating with others.

And Xu Han's current job is to copy books.

There are many precious rare books in the library of Prince Qi's Mansion. These rare books are naturally inconvenient to read frequently, and Xu Han is responsible for copying the contents of the rare books every day and making them into classics that people can read.

Every day, he was frustrated and did not communicate with others. He did his own things silently. After"getting off work", he took care of his mother wholeheartedly.

Chu Heng was very impressed with such talents. Very interested.

Undoubtedly, Xu Han's situation shows that he was marginalized in the Prince of Qi's Mansion after being framed by Mr. Wu, and because he was too principled, Mr. Wu could not absorb him into the type of people who worked for the Prince of Yong's Mansion.

And now, for the Prince of Qi's Mansion, he is just a"worker" who made a big mistake and was kept in captivity because the Prince of Qi wanted to set an example of his magnanimity.

In a sense, Xu Han and Chu Heng are"similar".

If Chu Heng did not have the ability to break the deadlock, he would also attract continuous suppression from Mr. Wu.

In the end, I am afraid he will be the second Xu Han.

However, Chu Heng is not Xu Han after all. As a systematic book-traveler, he is not someone that Mr. Wu can easily control.

On this day, Xu Han, as usual,"punched out" after copying books for a day, returned to his small courtyard, and began to take care of his mother.

His father died of illness in his early years, and it was his mother who raised him with great difficulty.

Because of overwork, he developed a chronic disease, and as he got older, it got worse.

Xu Han boiled a bowl of medicine and patiently fed it to his mother.

After drinking the medicine, Xu's mother looked at her son and sighed,"Son, I have dragged you down."

Mother Xu knew what happened to her son in Prince Qi's mansion.

As the closest person, Mother Xu knew that her son was a very talented person.

If it weren't for her illness that kept dragging him down, with her son's ability, even if he left Prince Qi's mansion and the imperial capital, he would be able to find a good way out and show his talents.

However, Xu Han would not watch his mother leave the imperial capital like himself and seek another way to make a living.

As for joining other people in the imperial capital, that was obviously impossible.

Prince Qi had already made him a model of his own magnanimity. If he joined other people, not to mention whether other forces would dare to accept him, even Prince Qi's mansion would not let him go.

Xu Han felt that he was like a goshawk. , although it has strong and powerful wings, it is trapped in a huge cage and cannot spread its wings and fly in the vast sky.

This once made Xu Han fall into despair.

With his intelligence, he naturally felt keenly that there must be a secret force framing him in the tribute case at that time.

But it was precisely because of his intelligence that he also realized how terrible this force was.

So many tributes disappeared without anyone noticing under the supervision of the Qi Wangfu forces, which is simply terrifying.

Xu Han tried to resist at the beginning, but he despairingly discovered that this force was hidden in the darkest corner and there was no trace of it at all. The most terrifying thing in this world is the unknown!
