Reading: Beginning as the Dean of the Academy

Chapter 13

"Shen Zhiming, a student from Xinzhou Prefecture, No. 1 in the second class of high school!"

In Xinzhou Prefecture, the officials who released the list beat gongs and drums, and the good news spread all over the streets and alleys. The people were shocked because the name was unfamiliar to them.

When did such a great scholar emerge in the local area?

"Xinke Chuanlu was listed by Li Shilang as his son-in-law, and he is about to get married at a certain date."

The official circles of Xinzhou Prefecture were shocked by the news from the capital. Xinke Chuanlu, coupled with the son-in-law Jackie Chan of the Minister's Mansion, Shen Zhiming will surely be on the same path in the future, not worse than that of the number one scholar.

Both the officials and the local gentry wanted to curry favor with this Chuanlu, but after investigation, they were surprised to find that Chuanlu turned out to be an orphan, who was able to participate in the county examination only after a local farmer surnamed Zhang gave his identity as a guarantee. This Chuanlu county examination and township examination results are at the bottom, just qualified for the Beijing examination.

Three days later, when Chuanlu returned to his hometown, the local officials and gentry wanted to hold a banquet to curry favor with this promising Chuanlu, but Chuanlu refused.

After Chuanlu visited Zhang's family, he rushed back to the capital overnight. The local officials and gentry only regarded Chuanlu as the groom's official.

After all, it was rumored in the capital that Li Shilang was under the list to arrest his son-in-law, and Shen Chuanlu entered the mansion overnight to agree.

……

That night!

Outside the Raozhou Mansion, a carriage that had gone away slowly returned, and instead of entering the city, it drove directly to Yunshan outside the city.

The driver was the old butler of the Shen family.

The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Yancheng, get out of the car.

That night, the full moon hangs high.

Shen Yancheng raised his foot several times, but he couldn't step up the steps on the mountain road.

The old housekeeper looked at his second young master with a worried expression on his face. He didn't know why the second young master wanted to return to Xinzhou, and he didn't understand why he returned in spite of the night after walking ten miles out of the city.

About Yunshan, about Yunshan Academy, when he was in Raozhou Mansion, he also heard that hundreds of people in the Academy were killed overnight, leaving no one alive.

In particular, the warning words "There are ghosts in Yunshan, please detour" hung at the foot of the mountain, which made him even more worried about his second son.

"Since you have already made your choice, why come back?"

On the mountain, a figure floated down, the old Taoist stared at Shen Yancheng.

"master."

"I said before, you have nothing to do with Taoism, and I am not your master."

Shen Yancheng was silent, his eyes fell to the stone on one side, at this moment he suddenly thought through a lot of things.

The master did not allow himself to take the imperial examination.

There is also this stone engraved: There are ghosts in Yunshan, please detour.

I am afraid that the master already knew his life experience. He got such a stone because he was afraid that too many people would go to the academy and his identity would be exposed. After all, Raozhou Mansion was not far from Xinzhou Mansion. Few people know themselves.

Get the notice stone to protect yourself.

If you don't let yourself go to the capital to take the imperial examination, it's for the sake of Qingmei.As long as I don't go to the capital, I won't meet the housekeeper, and I won't know my background.

"Since the decision has been made, let's go according to our heart. Don't go to the mountain." The old Taoist sighed and said.

Shen Yancheng was at a loss, yes, he had already made his choice.

That night, after paying homage to his parents, he went to Li Shilang's house overnight, didn't he just want to give himself room for regret?
Shen Yancheng, you bear the lives of 24 members of the Shen family, and the real Shen Zhiming who died for you.

How else can I go to the academy to meet Qingmei?
Bang bang bang!
Shen Yancheng knelt down on both knees, facing the direction of the academy, and kowtowed three times.

The first kneeling, kneeling master nurturing great grace.

The second kneeling, kneeling Qingmei affectionately let down.

The third kneeling, kneeling to die today.

Shen Zhiming will not let Qingmei down, after this kneeling, Shen Zhiming is dead, and only Shen Yancheng, who has a bloody feud, survives.

……

Under the bright moonlight, Chen Xinyu's body was trembling non-stop. She knew it was not because of the cold, but because of the emotional fluctuations of Qingmei who controlled her body at this moment.

"Miss Qingmei, Shen Zhi...Shen Yancheng, in the end, I did not betray you."

Su Le also felt Qingmei's mood swings. Thinking of the next scene, he was afraid that Qingmei would run wild, so he hurriedly spoke first.

Beijing.

Li Shilang caught Chenglong's son-in-law under the list, and became a famous story in the capital. The Shilang's mansion was decorated with lights and festoons. Because the groom had no residence in the capital, he chose to hold the wedding banquet in the Shilang's mansion.

More than half of the civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty came, and Li Shilang accompanied him with a smile.

The number one scholar in the new department, the second place in the list, Tanhua and many Jinshi are envious of the good luck of the bridegroom official, and they drink the groom official in different ways.

The old butler stayed on the side of the banquet, watching this scene with a smile. After the second son became the son-in-law of the Minister's Mansion, he recruited himself in the name of recruiting a few servants, so that he could find opportunities to assassinate Li Qingshan, or poison him Assassination is also possible, the second son can also be cleared of suspicion, and the Shen family's great hatred can also be avenged.

However, what the old housekeeper didn't know was that Shen Yancheng didn't intend to follow what the two of them had discussed.

He didn't want to endure in front of his enemies, the most important thing was that he couldn't accept that his bride was any other woman except Qingmei.

He wants to assassinate Li Qingshan on today's wedding day.

Using the excuse of drinking too much and needing relief, he went to the latrine, and then took out a dagger that had been hidden there in advance. The groom's robe was very wide, and the dagger was placed in the underwear and covered by the loose sleeve robe, so no one could see it. He came out with a knife hidden in his sleeve.

The bride and groom were going to toast their parents, and it was impossible for Li Qingshan's guards to still be standing by Li Qingshan's side at that time, this was his chance.

As for himself, he already had a poisonous pill in his mouth, as long as he crushed it, he would die instantly.

In the main hall, Li Qingshan was sitting with a smile on his face, beside him, the suona, flute, drums and gongs were blaring.

The bride walked out slowly under the leadership of the matchmaker.

Feng Guanxia wears red makeup!
Shen Yancheng took over the bride's hand from the matchmaker, and it was very cold. He has never met Li Qingshan's daughter until now, so of course he doesn't care about it.

High hall toast.

Shen Yancheng bowed his head and held the teacup. Under the wide sleeve robe, taking advantage of the opportunity to hold tea with both hands, his left hand had already penetrated into the sleeve robe of the right hand, touching the handle of the knife.

However, he didn't notice that the red hijab of the bride who was also bowing beside her suddenly trembled.

"Old thief Li Qingshan, die for me!"

Finally, the moment Li Qingshan took the teacup, Shen Yancheng quickly pulled out the dagger in his sleeve robe, but what he didn't expect was that the bride beside him slammed into him at this moment, and the sudden change made him subconsciously Stabbed the dagger at the bride who bumped into him.

The entire main hall was in chaos.

Exclaim, scream...

The old butler fell to the ground and lost his soul.

Li Qingshan's guards rushed over immediately, Shen Yancheng knew that he had no chance, bit the poison pill in his mouth, and fell to the ground like the bride.
