fake prince

Chapter 319 Examiner

afternoon

This place is Wanglufang, it is not big, only [-] or [-] households, but most of them are courtyards, and there are row upon row of shops, it is really prosperous, it shows that the people living here are not ordinary people.

It's just that although there is no snow, the drizzle is continuous, and no one dares to trek in the rain. In this era, there is no cure for the wind and cold. Not to mention, there are still a few Mercedes-Benz on the street, and there are few pedestrians on both sides. , One after another hid under the eaves.

To be able to gallop in the capital, one must either be a noble or a nobleman, neither of which can afford to compete.

Zheng Yingci was the first one. I haven't seen her for two months. She seemed to have undergone training. Her original paleness had disappeared, and she had a healthy look. Now her mouth was tightly pursed and her chin protruded, showing her determination.

"master!"

Behind is Liu Zhan, turned over and landed, and saw a familiar figure not far away, a 40-year-old middle-aged man with excellent temperament and sculpted eyebrows.

"Reverend Yanxia, ​​we meet again." Seeing the middle-aged man standing under the tree with his eyes closed, Liu Zhan seemed unaware of his arrival, so he went by himself and said with a smile.

Yu Qianzhi originally came here to search for the demon's aura, but only saw some paper ashes. On the one hand, he asked people to investigate who the nearby people were, and on the other hand, he was here to check the aura.

In fact, Liu Zhan's arrival had already been noticed.

But Yu Qianzhi's personality gave people the illusion that he was not in a hurry, so he opened his eyes at this time and smiled gently: "The real person is slower this time."

"It's not like Master Yanxia. You have been living in the capital, and you can see that person in the palace from time to time, but you can practice with dragon energy. I am a veteran, but I wandered around and only suffered some injuries. Naturally, I am far inferior in terms of insight."

Liu Zhan's seemingly good-tempered answer made Yu Qianzhi smile and no longer hide his wit.

"Since you came, it proves that my judgment is correct. There is indeed someone casting spells here. From your point of view, but him?"

The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, the hub of a country, so there are alchemists who are always monitoring here, lest ghosts, goblins or unruly alchemists come in and make trouble.

On the ground, demon power and spiritual power can be suppressed.

Of course, this is only aimed at people in the dark. Holding the imperial order, working according to the order, and following the emperor's instructions, it will naturally be helpful to a certain extent.

Liu Zhan and Yu Qianzhi are people from two different factions, one is stationed in the capital almost all the time, and the other is on patrol in other provinces.

In comparison, Yu Qianzhi's knowledge is more trusted by the emperor.

Liu Zhan didn't want to lose face, besides, ever since the person who stirred up the situation and disappeared 17 years ago appeared again, Liu Zhan was always feeling uneasy.

He wanted to cooperate with Yu Qianzhi, and his attitude was much better than in previous years. When he heard Yu Qianzhi say this, he didn't hide it, and said, "I suspect that it's that monster."

"I feel the same way, that breath is clearly him." Yu Qianzhi pondered: "But it might just be a blindfold."

Back then, the man secretly used Zou Qiuyu's mouth to stir up the situation, made Jin ascend the throne, and used Zou Qiuyu to trap the prince. It was not until Jin Shang killed Zou Qiuyu to investigate, that he found any clues.

The emperor was furious, and sent officers to search for it, but even if there were occasional progress, it was discovered that it was just a maze set up by that person.

The man was like a bad cat, playing with them.

However, I have my own thoughts on my side... Looking at Liu Zhan, Yu Qianzhi is always on guard against this person.I believe that Liu Zhan treats himself the same way.

He was already inferior to that monster in terms of strength, and his side was not united, so it was no wonder that after 17 years, he didn't even catch the shadow of that person.

After a long time, there are more and more people who are afraid of this person and know about it.

Liu Zhan frowned: "Whether it's him or not, if you cast a spell in the capital, you'll have to catch it first."

While the two were talking in low voices, one of them came quickly from a distance, bowed to Yu Qianzhi, and reported: "My lord Yu, I have checked, the nearby houses are several senior officials from the court, and they are separated from the officials. Mr. Zhou, Mr. He, and Mr. Jiang from the Ministry of Punishment."

After a pause, he added: "The Marquis of Huaifeng is also in this area."

Yu Qianzhi frowned slightly, then relaxed.

"Keep an eye on them and see what's unusual about them recently."

"Yes!"

When the man retreated, Yu Qianzhi said to Liu Zhan in a deep voice: "Your Majesty may have known about this, and there are alchemists in the palace. You and I didn't catch this monster. We need to enter the palace to plead guilty, and go together?"

"Go together." Liu Zhan nodded.

Yu Qianzhi gestured towards the distance, and an ox cart came quickly.

The driver driving the car was silent, Yu Qianzhi walked over by himself, opened the curtain, and said to Liu Zhan with a smile: "My real man, please."

"Really, please." Liu Zhan also gave way with a smile.

Both of them shook their heads and smiled, they stepped lightly and got into the bullock cart at the same time.

After sitting opposite each other, Yu Qianzhi said, "Let's go."

The coachman whipped his whip immediately, and the ox cart started to move slowly, this place is not too far from the imperial palace, the two of them sat in the car, they were both silent, they closed their eyes and rested their minds, they didn't even have much interest in talking.

One is the head of the Yin Guan Sect. The Yin Guan Sect is one of the earliest Taoist schools with a long history. It can be said that it is faintly the leader among all the Taoist schools.

One inherits the orthodox tradition of Yu Lingyang, emphasizes the unity of the three religions, advocates the equality of Confucianism, Sanskrit, and Taoism, and puts forward the argument of "three religions and one ancestral style". one.

The two of them are tired of debating scriptures, and there are no outsiders here, so naturally they would rather rest in peace.

When the bullock cart stopped, the two pairs of eyes opened almost simultaneously.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but both Yu Qianzhi and Liu Zhan have a subtle feeling.

The emperor was slightly ill, and thinking about the cause of the incident 17 years ago, the two looked at each other and walked in even more silently.

Because the two were frequent visitors to the palace, the guards at the gate let them pass after checking the token, and the journey was considered unimpeded, and the eunuch led them all the way to wait outside the palace.

The two of them have been here countless times, several bright yellow curtains hang down, the bricks above the ground are shining, and there are maids standing in front of many doors in the corridors and passages.

There were eight guards standing at the door, all of them looked in without looking sideways, and there were five eunuchs standing bowed on both sides of the screen.

At this moment, there were faint voices in the hall.

The two of them are not ordinary people, and they have excellent ears, so they can hear clearly immediately.

will try?

Yu Qianzhi lowered his eyes, seemingly looking at the porcelain vase not far away, scrutinizing the pattern, but actually listening to the emperor's words inside.

The emperor looked tired and spoke in a flat voice.

"The general examination is a heavy test of the imperial court's selection of talents. It is related to the selection of talents. Since Qing and the others are the chief examiners this time, there should be no negligence."

"This is an exam question, I have sealed it myself, you take it back."

"Since you are in charge of this test, the three of you will take on this heavy responsibility."

"If you do well, you will be meritorious. If there is fraud, don't forget Xiao Congbo, the former great scholar."

When he said the last sentence, although the voice of the old man in the hall was calm, the backs of the three chief examiners standing below were instantly wet.
