The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Han Shiyan shook his head, "Thank you for your honesty. Now I confirm that you are indeed Li Dongyang."

Li Dongyang froze on the spot, no...I am clearly denying...

"You studied under the great scholar Shen Aotang. You are very knowledgeable and very good at revising articles. You are known as Li Dongyang among the scholars. Looking at the spring of that year, there were four people who were expected to win the championship. They are Li Dongyang from Zhongdu in Yunzhou and my cousin Han. Jingyan, as well as Zhu He, who is famous for his poetry in Guangling, Yangzhou, and Gu Junan."

Han Shiyan said seriously, he was also an official in the imperial examination.

It's just that his cousin Han Jingyan's goal of becoming a prince and prime minister was different. He had wanted to be a censor since he was a child, so he was not the favorite to win the championship. At that time, he had not yet held an official position, and he was in Bianjing City. Han Shatou still has a reputation for being ruthless.

The edge of his writing is too sharp, and the following is a criticism of the current shortcomings, which is not in line with the imperial court's usual gentle style of selecting talents.

The articles of the No. 1 scholar need to be made public to the world, and they are the benchmark for students' writing style and thought. If he becomes the number one scholar, good fellow, in the spring of the next year, out of ten, three will point at the emperor and scold the mother, and five will be weird. , the remaining two who don’t know how to scold are so worried that you, you, you...

"The four of you, regardless of whether you win the top prize or not, the chance of failing is very small, so you are all candidates for participation in Yushitai in the future, so I understand all of them."

Li Dongyang was even more stunned... No, I haven't even been appointed as an official, and you are ready to join me?

There are such incredible things in the world!

Gu Shiwei, who was listening to the side, had nothing to say... The man named Han was indeed very poisonous! Otherwise, you will be poisoned to the point of abnormality!

"Among the four, you have the loudest voice. But just when everyone was looking forward to seeing who of the four can win, you and Zhu He both missed the exam. Zhu He fell seriously ill on the way to Beijing to take the exam, and was carried away by servants at home. Then he turned back and won the championship in the next session."

"And you died because of the fire at Tongfu Inn, right? The man who set the fire was named Chen Cheng, a middle-aged scholar who had failed many times. He knew that there was no hope for his studies, so in despair, he set fire to himself in the room. And he The room is just below yours."

Li Dongyang seemed to remember some painful past events and couldn't help but shudder.

"Exactly like this, I suffered this unreasonable disaster. From now on, my appearance has been completely ruined, and I have also become disabled. This may be God's will. God laughed at me for being too arrogant. Not only did I not take the world's scholars into consideration, I also tried to be the world's teacher. "

The glorious days in the past emerged one by one in Li Dongyang's mind. When he dreamed about the dark underground at midnight, he thought about it countless times. Every time he was in pain, but every time he couldn't help but think about it, How nice it would be if he didn't stay at Tongfu Inn!

It would be great if he wasn't so arrogant. Maybe God wouldn't notice him as an ordinary person, and then break his neck so that he can no longer raise his head.

Han Shiyan seemed to have seen through his thoughts and shook his head.

"You ended up where you are today, not because of the injustice of heaven, nor because of bad luck. It's because of Gu Jun'an and your extreme stupidity."

Li Dongyang listened, with anger in his eyes, "I know that Han Shiyan and Gu Shiwei wanted to destroy the Gu family, so you tricked me into slandering Gu Jun'an. Let me say it again, Brother Jun'an did not imprison me. Although I live in Underground, but he knows everything about what’s going on above.”

"What do you want to say? I want to say that Brother Jun'an obviously lives in Bianjing City, so why did he go to the shabby and far away Tongfu Inn so late?"

"That's because the two of us hit it off immediately. He saw that I was thinly dressed and wanted to help, but he was worried that seeing me in the daytime would make people chew on me, so he specially visited me in the middle of the night to give me furs and help me in times of need."

"You want to say that Brother Jun'an ordered people to set fire to me? And then get rid of those who competed with him for the No. 1 prize? I tell you, it's impossible!" Li Dongyang said, cupping his hands.

"Brother Jun'an and I have been studying together for so many years. No one knows better than me how talented he is. He himself has the talent to be the number one scholar, so why would he do such a vicious thing? Facts have proved that he is a veritable number one scholar. Lang!"

"I didn't pass the exam, so what if Zhu He didn't pass the exam? Didn't he still win over Han Jingyan and become a world-class talent?"

Li Dongyang said and sneered, "Besides, if he wants to harm me, how can he save me? Wouldn't it be better to just burn me to death in the fire? In this way, I will not only not become an obstacle to him, but also will not be a person who can be used at any time. The hidden danger of killing him!”

"Gives you a chance to fool me here."

The small building was quiet for a while, just when Li Dongyang was about to turn his head to look at the moonlight outside the window.

Han Shiyan suddenly sneered and looked at Li Dongyang with a mocking look on his face.

"Gu Junanke told you that after you were rescued, there was a burnt corpse in the room where you lived. He was about the same height as you and wore the same clothes as you, even down to the tiger's mouth on his left hand. They all have the same birthmarks as you did before.”

Gu Shiwei listened and looked at Han Shiyan in surprise.

She had just told Han Shiyan the secret of "imperial examination fraud", and there was no way he would have had the time or opportunity to investigate in advance.

So this guy really didn't lie just now. He really investigated the top candidates seriously. Even after Li Dongyang was burned to death, he must have read the files and understood the details of the case. Gotta be clear.

Thinking of this, Gu Shiwei looked at Han Shiyan with an increasingly strange look.

And after such a long time, he even clearly remembered the birthmark on Li Dongyang's left hand.

She thought about it and looked at Li Dongyang's hand, but she saw a scar on the back of the hand, a red birthmark or something like that, which had been burned so hard that it couldn't be seen clearly. Gu Shiwei was startled, and a stream of absurd ideas emerged!

"Well, he was afraid that you would be hungry, so before he went he made a fire and roasted a charred corpse that was similar to yours, providing help in the snow. Haha...Bo Yaziqi was moved!"

"Why is Gu Jun'an just a top scholar? When Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang saw him, they had to sign the "Pushing Back Picture" with his name. Otherwise, if he saved you, why didn't he report it to Kaifeng Mansion while you were seriously injured and unconscious?"

"But with a pinch of fingers, you calculated that you don't want to see your relatives at home, and you like to be a rat in the gutter, living a life of never-ending life?"

Li Dongyang felt as if he was struck by lightning at this time, but Han Shiyan did not stop.

"Being a son-in-law to an official family is really wronging Gu Zhuangyuan. He should be a son-in-law to the Jade Emperor. After all, he is the son of heaven."

"Otherwise, how could it be that the left hand that proves your identity is seriously injured, and the birthmark is burned so hard that you can't see it clearly? But the right hand that can be used to turn writing into gold is intact and does not affect your ability to write?"

"With this mastery of fire control, when will your good brother Gu Jun'an ascend? Will he take you, a chicken and a dog, with him?"
