fake prince

Chapter 335 Casting Some Shadows

Su Ziji heard the suggestion from the wild Taoist: "It happens that Mr. Jian is also here, why don't we set up a table for a while and have a lively time together."

Of course I agreed.

But Su Ziji thought again, Jian Qu's residence is not the Layman's Garden, although the possibility is very small, but Zuoren can't be like this--with the good news in the past, wouldn't he miss it if he is here?

Ye Daoist seemed to see hesitation: "Mr. Jian has left someone at the inn. Even if he is not there, he will definitely not miss it. If you win, you can change your route to Layman's Garden."

It makes sense, those who reported victory would not mind walking a long way in order to get the reward.

Su Ziji nodded in agreement, and he didn't even need to order the next banquet, the wild Taoist had already done it properly, he directly contacted the surrounding restaurants and ordered a table to be brought over.

Ordinary laymen's gardens, although meat can be used, but they can't make a big splash, but now even the monks turn a blind eye and congratulate.

He was still busy, and sent away several waves of people who reported victory one after another, and scattered dozens of taels of silver alone. Seeing that there were still people from the vicinity coming, Ye Buhui would prepare a basket of copper coins in advance and move them out, grabbing a handful of whoever came. , everyone was happy and congratulated constantly.

"Congratulations to Nephew Su Xian for winning the Zhonghuiyuan!" Fang Wenshao also stayed at the house, and when he got the news, he came by car and congratulated Su Ziji.

Although it was a banquet, it was actually just a meal with acquaintances. Fang Wenshao's arrival made the table lively.

While talking, I also waited for the last few good news.

The good news will not be bad before the good, the reward will be more if the ranking is good, so it is good first and then bad. Zi sent Jie, but no one came towards this courtyard.

It was obvious that the last few waves of good news were not for the two people present.

"Hey!"

When everything returned to calm, Jian Qu sighed first, picked up the glass on the table and drank it down, his mouth was full of bitterness, his face was as pale as paper, Ye Buhui even saw that his hands were shaking.

Fang Wenshao also turned pale, and smiled wryly: "At my age, I really don't have the energy to travel to Beijing to take the exam. If I fail this time, I can only pin my hope on Xi'er in the future. After two years, everything will go well, and he will also be in the Beijing exam." Time to try."

He forced himself up again and asked Jian Qu: "Mr. Jian, do you want to go back to your hometown? If you want, you can take Fang's boat and go out of Beijing together."

Jian Qu also forced a smile: "I don't know when to go back now, let's finish the matter first."

Fang Wenshao sighed again, Guan Jianqu was not too young, and wanted to divert the topic related to the imperial examination, and asked casually: "It's not easy to live in the capital for a long time, people like you and me should go back earlier, so that we can settle down and settle down with our family." heart, so that they don't have to worry about it."

Unexpectedly, these words touched Jian Qu's sadness again, which made him tear out his heart after hearing every sentence, and he couldn't suppress the feeling of drinking again. After wiping it, Fang let out a sigh of relief and smiled wryly: "Yes, brother Fang has family members who are concerned about him, so naturally he has to return home early. Like me, I once had a wife at home. Because I have not been selected for a long time, I have already died of illness. Even if I think that someone will miss me, I can't do it!"

Fang Wenshao choked, not knowing what to say.

Seeing Su Ziji, he hurriedly picked up some other things to talk to the two of them, which also made them feel a little better.

After drinking for three rounds, someone knocked on the door.

"Who are you bothering me at this time?" Ye Daoist went out to open the door, and after a while he led someone in. Although he was wearing casual clothes, his appearance was wrong, so both Ye Taoist and Su Ziji recognized him as an eunuch.

Seeing the eunuch standing at the door and bowing to himself without speaking, he knew that he might not be alone.

"I'll go out first." Su Ziji Chong was slightly drunk, and the two went out first as soon as they cupped their hands. When they reached the gate, they saw Eunuch Zhao, who was also in casual clothes, waiting in the bullock cart.

He hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Eunuch Zhao immediately stretched out his hand to support him, saying repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it."

"Su Ziji, you won the Huiyuan today, and our family came here to congratulate you!" Eunuch Zhao said with a smile, "You have such talent, and you have to go to high school in the palace examination, but..."

The voice changed, "After boasting the official parade, please go to the Huaifenghou's mansion to check the blood."

The last few words were already approaching and said in a low voice.

"Do you need to check the blood?" Su Ziji's heart shuddered, knowing that there must be intentions, but he couldn't refuse this matter, so he had to agree.

Seeing that Eunuch Zhao was about to leave after finishing speaking, he was politely declined when he invited him in for a drink. Su Ziji suddenly remembered about Jian Qu, so he called Eunuch Zhao to stop again.

"Eunuch Zhao, I need your help with something." He explained briefly, but someone wanted to see Qian Zhidong.

Eunuch Zhao didn't hesitate when he went to see the court's repeat offender, and smiled: "It's easy, take this token, and you can bring someone to visit when the time comes."

As soon as he took it out of his pocket, he took out a token and handed it to Su Ziji.

The familiar Token of Hundred Households of the Imperial City Division.

It's so easy, of course, because of his own identity. At the same time, it is obvious that Qian Zhidong is completely unable to stand up. This case has become an iron case, and he is not as strict as before.

When he and the little eunuch got into the ox cart, Su Ziji looked away, the smile on his face was gone, and some shadows were cast in his heart.

"The emperor still needs to check, did he notice something?"

"Is there any special method?"

Su Ziji turned around and went back, only to find that Jian Qu and Fang Wenshao were already drunk in just a short while, they drank a lot of wine without taking a few sips of food, lying on the table, talking drunk, although they were not drunk, But sending them back like this made Su Ziji a little worried.

The wild Taoist said: "My lord, I have a residence near the Layman's Garden. There are a few rooms vacant. You can send them to my place to rest temporarily. When they wake up, I will send them back."

Su Ziji nodded, seeing the wild Taoist calling for an ox cart, ready to send the two of them there, he stopped calling again.

"My lord, what's on your mind?"

Su Ziji's eyes jumped, he stood up and walked slowly in the courtyard without saying a word, while the wild Taoist stared at Su Ziji intently.

These days, the lord has always been confident and ordered decisively, now he paced and pondered for a long time today, it can be seen that there is a big matter in his heart, the wild Taoist is thinking, Su Ziji has stood still, looking at the layers of clouds without saying a word.

Eunuch Zhao said this very easily, obviously thinking that it was just for show, but he was guilty of being a thief, but he couldn't help worrying.

This made a mistake, not to mention winning the Hui Yuan, even winning the No. [-] Scholar would be a death sentence. Thinking of the Queen's staring eyes not long ago, the muscles on Su Ziji's face twitched.

"[Boiled Dragon Mind Method] reached the tenth level, there may be a qualitative change, which may be beneficial to this." Su Ziji also vaguely understood the reason why he was able to pass the test a few times ago.

"The checkpoint has actually been broken. The experience that was originally needed can be accumulated slowly, but now there is too little time."

"In order to gain a huge amount of experience, one must win the first prize in the imperial examination. This is not enough. You have to find other sources. It seems that it is not feasible to learn from the imperial court, but it is proved feasible to avenge the prince."

A sneer flashed across Su Ziji's face, he turned around and said, "How are the other two on the list?"

Without waiting for the wild Taoist to answer: "Go and investigate carefully, and tell me."

"Yes!" Ye Taoist immediately responded without thinking.
