Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 70 Get what you want!The scientific examination is over! (asking for monthly ticket)
There are two houses in Jingtai and one in the inner city of the capital. However, he serves in the Tongzhou camp, so he also has a big house in Tongzhou.

Jingtai's mansion in Tongzhou is not far from the military camp.

After Hei Gong and others killed Jingtai's family and all his men, they evacuated as quickly as possible and quickly disappeared into the night.

About two quarters of an hour later!

A harsh gong sounded.

Immediately afterwards, soldiers from the Tongzhou military camp poured out like a tide.

Tongzhou Zhizhou rushed to Jingtai's mansion desperately.

Then, Dexing'a, the deputy commander of the Han army in Zhengbai Banner, also led people into Jingtai's mansion.

Everyone was stunned by the tragic scene in front of them.

Moreover, the methods were cruel and there were almost no whole corpses.

Look at the word Hong on the wall!

There was blood dripping with blood and murderous intent.

The two adults looked at each other and said in their hearts: Here we go again!
Hong Renli!
This Northland bandit.

Is this the first official to be killed?

Before, this thief only killed single officials, but now he started to act openly, entering houses and killing people all over the house.

I can’t imagine how the court would react?

Then, the two adults gave orders.

Blockade Tongzhou and search for the murderer.

Immediately afterwards, soldiers and horses from all walks of life poured out of Tongzhou Yamen and Tongzhou Camp.

In Tongzhou City, there was a frantic search everywhere.

The two adults were worried about what bad luck they had. They looked at each other and said, "Let's go into the palace together and report back to Your Majesty."

Why did you do it at our station?Can't you go somewhere else?
I really can’t imagine how angry the emperor would be if he knew this?
After a while, the two adults mounted their horses and headed toward the imperial city as quickly as possible.

................................................

Hei Gong and the others ran away like crazy, escaping for more than twenty miles and finally stopped when they entered their base in the mountains.

Li Qi was the first to take action just now, and he was extremely brave.

But now he started to tremble all over.

Hei Gong handed over a bottle of wine. After Li Qi took a few big sips, he began to cough desperately.

"We are from the Nian Army, and we are rebels. Killing officials is not a big deal. Why are you doing this business?" Hei Gong asked.

Li Qi said: "My brain is so hot, why do I care so much?"

Black Gong said to Master Huaiyu, "Are you from the Southern Heaven?"

Master Huaiyu did not speak.

Hei Gong said: "We are all on the same boat, what is there to say?"

Leng Mu suddenly said: "It's fun to work with the young master."

Hei Gong sneered and said: "In order to save his woman, he killed the whole family of a fourth-grade military general at will. He is a lunatic. Sooner or later, he will let us behead him at the morning gate."

Leng Mu said: "You said that the young master is not only a member of the Eight Banners, but also a member of the clan. Why is he so ruthless in killing his own people? As the Nian Army, he used us without blinking. What is his intention?"

Hei Gong said: "I don't care what he thinks, anyway, I just want to gain wealth and wealth."

......................................................

Inside Sanxi Hall of Yangxin Hall!
The emperor summoned Tian Yugong, who looked unhappy.

"Tian Yugong, what do you want to do? Do you still have a public weapon in your heart? Is the position of Minister of Dali Temple a tool for you to sell favors? I value you so much, is it just to allow you to bend the law for personal gain?"

Tian Yugong knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Chongen has no power. If I want to sell favors, I should sell them to Su Zhongtang and Prince Zheng. Why should I sell favors to Chongen?"

The emperor said: "Then you pity Qingqing?"

Then, he added: "Why don't I feel pity? But the law is ruthless and cannot be partial."

Tian Yugong said: "Your Majesty, I have never seen Qingqing Gege, let alone pity her."

The emperor said: "Then why did you repeatedly obstruct Yixu's handling of the case?"

Tian Yugong said: "Returning to the emperor, I am different from Yi Xubeizi. I have been the minister of Dali Temple for so many years, so I usually have a more careful eye on such cases. That is, what can be seen through at a glance is often not the truth."

"Now all the clues point to Qingqing Gege, and Yixu Beizi said it outright. It was Jinglong who had evil intentions towards Qingqing Gege, so he went to Baiyun Mountain Huaishi Temple and tried to molest him, but he was killed."

The emperor acquiesced, and almost everyone thought so.

Tian Yugong said: "But there is another problem. Master Chong'en is not a powerful person, and he cannot raise skilled soldiers. But Jinglong brought eight people, all of whom were under his confidants in Jianrui Camp. Now Jianlong Although the combat effectiveness of Ruiying is not as good as that of Emperor Gaozong, it is not comparable to the guards of the Chongen family. How much strength does it have to be able to kill all nine members of Jinglong's party? I don't think the Chongen family has it."

This is the biggest doubt.

Therefore, Yi Xucai insisted on taking Qingqing back to the clan mansion for interrogation.

Tian Yugong continued: "Furthermore, the emperor knows Chongen best. He can't hide anything in his heart. But when Chen Chen and Yi Xu went to his home to inquire, he was filled with indignation and confused."

"So, I conclude that there is something fishy about this case!"

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said: "Just leave it alone for now and let the clan investigate."

Tian Yugong said: "This matter cannot be discussed in detail. Once Qingqing Gege is captured and interrogated in the clan mansion, no matter what the final truth is, her reputation will be ruined."

The emperor said: "How can I bear it? But the truth is more important."

Tian Yugong said helplessly: "Your Majesty is wise."

Then, the emperor said: "The first day of the provincial examination over there should be over, has anything happened?"

Tian Yugong said: "I haven't heard of it."

The emperor did not continue to speak. He already had some regrets in his heart. At that time, he really should not have agreed to Su Yi's participation in the civil and military examinations, so that now the city is full of uproar.

Lin Kui, the examiner in particular, could not sleep for several nights, fearing that something had gone wrong.

Tian Yugong said: "This does have an advantage. The provincial examination in Shuntian Prefecture is attracting everyone's attention, and no one dares to cheat for personal gain."

The emperor smiled bitterly in his heart.

I just hope that Su Yi doesn't do too badly in the exam, let alone the last few, and becomes a laughing stock.

......................................................

The right sect of Zongren Mansion, Zheng Yixu, once again gathered dozens of people.

With great momentum, he headed towards Chong'en's mansion overnight.

In fact, he and Chongen had no grievances, and there was no need to curry favor with Duanhua.

The reason why he worked so hard was firstly because King Qing Fujin begged for help and received great benefits.

Another point is that he hasn't tasted the taste of power for a long time.

In other words, he has never tasted power.

Although he, the Gushan Beizi, is of the highest rank, there are so many Baylor, County Kings, and Princes that it is not his turn to be in charge.

You Zongzheng of this sect's mansion only got his turn because he was old enough.

Now that he finally had the opportunity to use his power, how could he let it go?

After rushing directly into Chongen's mansion, Yi Xu said: "Go and call Mrs. Fengen and come with us to the clan mansion. I don't believe that such a small case can't be investigated clearly."

He was accompanied by a few strong nuns who were specially used to capture women.

Mrs. Chongen said: "Oh, what a coincidence. Prince Hui Fujin summoned us, and our eldest daughter went to Prince Hui's mansion as a guest."

This means that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Yi Xu said angrily: "Is it interesting for you to use this method? Can you avoid the first grade of junior high school or the fifteenth grade of junior high school?"

Mrs. Chongen said: "Master Bei, you are so old, and you are the right Zongzheng of the clan house. You usually have no time to care for the clan. How can anyone be like you, wishing that someone in the clan would be unlucky? Aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation? ?”

This is absolutely true. Even Duanhua, the clan leader, is usually very impressive, but he can ignore the affairs of the clan mansion as much as possible.Take care of good things and ignore bad things.

Why bother? !

Yi Xu said coldly: "He is really a sharp-tongued man. If he didn't have a guilty conscience, why would he hide in Prince Hui's Mansion?"

"Let's go to Prince Hui's Mansion!"

..........................................

Prince Hui was almost stunned.

Once Yi Xu has the power, will he use it to this extent?
How long can Qingqing Gege hide in my palace? It’s amazing that she will go back tomorrow.

Can't you wait even for this night?Are you coming to arrest people tonight?
Although I, Mianyu, am not older than you, I am still your elder, right?

Yi Xu entered the palace directly and met with Prince Hui.

"Uncle, according to the emperor's instructions, my nephew is asked to take Qingqing back to the clan mansion for questioning. As an elder, don't make it difficult for your nephew."

Mianyu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

Okay, so you don’t even have this tacit understanding?
Just because you have Duanhua and Sushun as your backers, do you think you don't take me, the emperor's uncle, seriously?
Originally, for Mianyu, if Qingqing handed it over, he would hand it over.

But you, Yixu, do things like this and keep following the emperor's instructions, so don't blame me for not giving you face.

Immediately, Mian Yu said: "Yixu, I don't see any Qingqing in my house. I generally don't care about the affairs between the female family members."

Then, he sneered and said: "If you are worried, go and search the backyard yourself."

Mian Yu is one of the most senior princes today. Even if the people in the Zong Ren Mansion had a hundred courages, they would not dare to enter his palace to search and arrest people.

Yi Xu said: "Prince Hui, my nephew is on errands for the emperor, please don't be instigated."

Mianyu directly served tea to the guests.

Yi Xu said: "You have forced my nephew to have no choice but to go to the emperor to ask for an order."

Then, Yi Xu turned and left.

Mianyu sneered, what a waste.

He invited the emperor at every turn. When he couldn't suppress Tian Yugong at first, he went to ask for the emperor's oral instructions.

Now that Mian Yu has stopped him, he goes to invite the emperor again?
Duan Hua doesn't want to offend anyone, but the bad guys let you do it, so you're still so positive?
................................................

It was late at night and the emperor was reading a book.

As a result, Beizi Yixu came to see him again.

Suddenly the emperor was very angry, what are you doing?
You can't handle such a small thing and come to see me twice in half a day?
But after all, he was the eldest cousin, who was in his sixties, and the emperor summoned him again.

"Your Majesty, my servant went to Chong'en's Mansion to take Qingqing away to the Zongren Mansion to investigate the case. As a result, Qingqing escaped early and hid in Prince Hui's Mansion." Yi Xu said: "My servant went to Prince Hui's Mansion and asked Uncle Wang to take Qingqing away. Hand it over, but instead of handing it over, he ridicules the slave.”

"The slave is acting on the emperor's orders, and Prince Hui doesn't take it seriously at all. This not only looks down on the slave, but also disrespects the emperor."

The emperor was helpless. Besides legal principles, there were also human feelings.

Although it is not appropriate for Prince Hui to do this, it is also in line with human nature.

What do you want me to do?Do you blame the emperor for such a thing?He is an elder after all.

Moreover, how long can Prince Hui's Mansion hide people? Tomorrow, Qingqing will go home.

Are you, Yixu, so ignorant of the ways of the world?
Yi Xu continued: "Your Majesty, it's okay if Qingqing doesn't escape. Now that she has escaped, I am even more convinced that the disappearance of the nine people in Jinglong must be related to Qingqing. I ask your Majesty to issue an order to have me go to Prince Hui's Mansion. Take people so they don’t eliminate the evidence.”

The emperor was hesitant, and he did not want to show an attitude of treating the clan harshly.

But I also want to find out the truth.

At this time, the eunuch outside Zeng Lu said: "Your Majesty, the Nine Gates Admiral Lian Shun, Tongzhou Zhizhou, and Zhengbai Banner Deputy Commander Dexing Aqiu have come to see you. I have something important to report."

The emperor was surprised that Yixu was ignorant. These three ministers must not be ignorant.

They actually came together to ask for a meeting, what big thing happened?
"Let them in!"

After a moment.

Three adults came in.

"Your Majesty, Jingtai's family in Tongzhou, together with a dozen officers, a total of 69 people, were all killed, and no one was spared."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor was stunned.

Jingtai? !
"Jingtai of Dong E's family?" the emperor asked.

Dexing Adao said: "Yes, he is the fourth-rank Yunhui envoy and deputy shotgun guard army commander, Jingtai."

The emperor asked: "Is he Jinglong's brother?"

Dexing Adao: "Yes."

The emperor said: "A total of 69 people, all killed? No resistance?"

Dexing Adao: "There are traces of resistance, but the opponent is very powerful and their methods are extremely cruel. There are 69 people in total, and there are almost no whole bodies."

“Besides, it says Hong on the wall!”

The emperor said: "It's them again?"

This has happened countless times.

Suddenly, the emperor became furious: "Before, these rebellious remnants only assassinated single officials, but now they dare to kill all the officials. Are they going to kill people in the capital next?!"

Immediately, all the courtiers present knelt down.

"Search, send a large number of soldiers and horses, search!"

"Even if the ground is turned over, we must find these people!"

Lian Shun and others kowtowed: "Hey!"

Then, the emperor said: "Why do these rebellious remnants want to kill Jingtai?"

Dexing Adao: "According to my judgment, this Hong Renli is not one person, but a group of people. They are Lin Fengxiang's subordinates who rebelled against Lin Fengxiang. They rebelled against the Northern Expedition and eventually the entire army was destroyed, but there were still fish that slipped through the net. They hated the south. Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the rebellious bandits, was unwilling to return to Jiangning, so he lurked in the north. He assassinated our officials from time to time, especially those who had participated in the massacre of Lin Fengxiang."

The emperor said: "Did Jinglong ever take part in the battle to annihilate Lin Fengxiang's Northern Expedition?"

Dexing Adao: "I took part! Brothers Jingtai and Jinglong both made great contributions in that battle."

There you go!
Everything makes sense.

The previous doubts were also solved. Jinglong's disappearance was also related to Hong Renli, a remnant of rebellion.

No wonder a group of nine people, even though they had powerful weapons, still disappeared without a trace.

This was because he was targeted by the rebellious remnants. After leaving the city, there were few people around, so he was robbed and killed.

Suddenly, the emperor said: "There is a reward throughout Zhili, but if anyone who provides clues is confirmed, he will be rewarded heavily!" "嗻!"

At this time, Yi Xu said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, over there at Prince Hui's Mansion..."

"Idiot!" the emperor shouted angrily: "Get out!"

......................................................

next day!

Another breaking news came.

The Baoding prefect, on his way to Beijing, a group of more than thirty people were all killed!

The methods were extremely cruel, and there were no whole bodies.

And on the official sedan, a big word was written in blood: Hong!

but……

This time, it wasn't Hei Gong and the others who did it. They were still hiding in the mountains.

Who is so brave? The officials he kills are getting bigger and bigger and more important!

After the emperor heard this, his face turned pale with anger!
Waste, waste, all waste!

How many times is this?

Until now, I don’t even know whether Hong Renli is a boy or a girl, how many people there are in total, whether they are old or young.

"Lianshun, you have one month to dig out this Hongrenli for me. I will execute them in Lingchi."

"If you can't be caught, you, the nine-door admiral, should stop doing it. I'll replace it with someone else!"

Lian Shun, the nine-door admiral, was trembling all over: "My lord, I obey the order!"

Tian Yugong said: "Your Majesty, now it seems that the truth about Jinglong's disappearance has been revealed. Hong Renli, a group of rebellious remnants, are killing officials who had participated in the battle to eliminate Lin Fengxiang. A total of nine officials were killed. There are no exceptions! The Baoding magistrate who was just killed made great contributions in the battle to eliminate Lin Fengxiang and was promoted from county magistrate to magistrate."

Then, Tian Yugong said: "Your Majesty, I impeach Zongzheng Mansion's right Zong Zhengyixu, ignoring the facts and confusing right and wrong! If he hadn't repeatedly led the case of Jinglong's disappearance to Qingqing Gege, perhaps we would have thought of the remnants of the rebellion. In this way, knowing that the prefect of Baoding is coming to Beijing, we can take precautions in advance, so that both Jingtai and the prefect of Baoding will not be killed, causing the imperial court to lose its majesty."

"Your Majesty, please punish Yi Xu!"

Yi Xu came out of the queue, trembling all over and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is also devoted to the Emperor."

Prince Hui Mianyu came out and said: "Your Majesty, I impeached Yi Xu, regardless of age or inferiority. He is still arrogant and unreasonable in the servant's house. He keeps moving the emperor out to suppress others, which is against the majesty of the emperor."

Chongen came out: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Yi Xu. As You Zongzheng, you should protect the clan, but instead you want to harm the blood of your ancestors. How can such a narrow-minded person have the dignity to occupy the position of Zongzheng?"

"Draft an edict to remove you from the post of You Zongzheng in the Yixu Sect's Mansion!"

Yi Xu trembled and kowtowed: "Slave, please accept the order and thank me."

Everyone present, but no one sympathized.

The law is nothing more than human relationships. As an elder of the Zongzheng Mansion, you should love and protect the children of the clan. How can you be so impatient to arrest someone and establish your authority that you can't even wait for a day?
Following the emperor's will.

The nine admirals Lianshun and the Eight Banners military camp were frantically arresting people everywhere.

All the gangsters on the ground in the capital suffered a disaster, and were taken into prison one after another.

Press down layer by layer.

Thousands of people were searching for this Hong Renli everywhere.

Lian Shun was going crazy with anxiety, and the emperor only gave him one month.

If Hong Renli cannot be caught again, he will be lost as the nine-door admiral.

He was so anxious that he didn't know how many people were beaten to death.

People were being arrested and tortured everywhere.

The amount of the reward is getting higher and higher. In the end, anyone who provides clues to Hong Renli will be rewarded with 3000 taels of silver once verified!

Two days later!

In the valley not far from Baiyun Mountain, someone was horrified and lost their voice.

Because there were broken arms and limbs arranged into a big bloody character.

"flood!"

Although the body was already decomposed, he still recognized it as the head of Jinglong, the younger brother of Prince Fujin of Qing.

The opponent's sword skills are extremely good and his methods are extremely cruel.

There were nine people in the group, but none of them were dead!

In this way, the truth is completely revealed. Jinglong's disappearance was entirely the work of Hong Renli, a remnant of rebellion.

As for Qingqing, she was straightforwardly cleared of all suspicion.No one doubted anymore that Jinglong's disappearance was related to her.

After that, Chongen once again went to the palace to see the emperor. He burst into tears and asked the emperor to issue an order for Qingqing and Yicai to reconcile.

"Your Majesty, Yicai has no queen. Prince Qing Fujin asked Jinglong to pick up Qingqing with ulterior motives."

"After Jinglong disappeared, King Qing Fujin even insisted that Qingqing had murdered Jinglong, and even asked the clan government to arrest him."

"I really can't get along with such an in-laws."

"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"

The emperor sighed and said: "In this case, let's make peace!"

At this point, Qingqing Dagege finally gained freedom and successfully reconciled with Yicai.

Prince Qing Fujin, together with Yicai himself, were cast aside in the clan.

This kind of marriage was originally difficult to reconcile, but now it is successfully reconciled, which does no harm to Qingqing and Chongen's family.

As the saying goes, kill two birds with one stone.

............................................................

The first round of the provincial examination lasts three days!
On the night of the third day, the trumpet army came to collect the papers and concealed their names.

Next, the transcriber will send someone to transcribe each candidate's test paper again to ensure that the examiner cannot recognize the candidate's handwriting.

After each examination paper is copied, it must be checked several times to ensure that the copy is completely correct.

Then, send it to the examiner for marking.

On this night, all candidates can go home and rest for a night.

Tomorrow morning, come to Gongyuan for the second exam.

Su Yi didn't take a shower in the past three days, and she felt like she was going rancid.

Fortunately, I can still brush my teeth twice a day, otherwise it would be unbearable.

As soon as she entered her yard, Su Yi couldn't wait to take off her clothes and take a good bath.

As a result, the next second, the eldest sister pounced on me.

Then, the fragrant little mouth came forward.

"I knew I shouldn't have come, but I couldn't help it."

"In Jinglong's disappearance case, I have completely cleared away any suspicion."

"Moreover, the emperor also decreed that Yi Cai and I should reconcile. From now on, I am free."

"From now on, I completely belong to you."

Su Yi said: "Good sister, wait a moment, I smell bad."

After getting tired of the kiss, Su Yi said in Qingqing's ear: "Sister, my mouth is a little light and I'm a little thirsty, what should I do?"

Then he pulled his hand away and stretched it out in front of her eyes, spreading his two fingers and disconnecting them.

Asked: "Good sister, please help me taste the saltiness, is it just right?"

Qingqing shyly but boldly tasted it, and said with a trembling voice: "Is it...that it tastes like this?"

....................................

Although three imperial officials were killed, it caused violent waves.

But there is always only one thing that the entire capital is focusing on, and that is the provincial examination this autumn.

Even the emperor himself asked two or three times a day.

Of course, it wasn't that he paid much attention to Su Yi.

In fact, as time went by, his emotions towards Su Yi were far less intense than they were then.

He has to meet too many people every day and has too many things to deal with.

More than a month has passed, and the impression Su Yi left on him has faded a lot.

Now he only regrets that he should not have been so hot-headed at that time and agreed to let Su Yi take part in the civil and military examinations, which made him passive.

The reason why he asked about the Shuntianfu Township Examination three times a day was because he was worried about public opinion.

Hong Renli's assassination of officials sounds really scary, but there were too many officials in the Qing Dynasty.

And the trouble caused by public opinion about the imperial examination every time was huge, with tens of thousands of people gathering at every turn.

Therefore, while Lian Shun, the admiral of the Nine Sects, was searching the city, the soldiers and horses never dared to come within a hundred steps of Gongyuan.

Everything was compromised for the provincial examination.

After resting at home for a night, Su Yi, like all the candidates, rushed to the examination room again early the next morning to participate in the second session of the Provincial Civil and Examination Examination.

This time, it was not so tense.

After the test questions are released!
There were still no surprises, and there were no changes to the test questions.

Su Yi still answered the question in a satisfactory manner.

And Zhang Yuzhao over there was once again very smooth. In three days, he almost completed the second exam in just one day.

He spent most of the rest of the time meditating.

The second exam will still take three days. On the evening of the third day, the candidates will be sent home again.

But this time when he returned home, Qingqing had already prepared bath water for him.

Then, it was Hu Tian and Hu Emperor again.

New achievements unlocked.

It rained in the water, a heavy downpour.

not on purpose.

In fact, Qingqing couldn't control her emotions.For this reason, she hid for a few days and was too embarrassed to see Su Yi.

......................................................

The last exam is still three days away!

It is only a policy question, but it is also the most important part of the provincial examination.

Policy questions determine life and death.

When Su Yi saw the test questions, he was almost unfazed.

The test questions remained the same and looked so eye-catching.

This question that Ce asked almost appeared in his mind countless times, and it also appeared countless times in the discussion with Negative Bamei.

But he still looked decent, closed his eyes and began to think.

This thought took more than half a day.

Then I started to polish the ink and started writing this policy on the scratch paper.

In order to be realistic, I wrote three versions.

Get better every time.

It wasn't until the last version that he wrote it neatly on the exam paper.

As for Zhang Yuzhao, his literary thoughts are like a spring.

He truly felt as if he were inspired by his writing. Ever since he was fatally injured, his whole mood had changed.

In terms of literary matters, it was as if a bottleneck had been broken through, and another level had been raised above the original level.

He could even understand why Sima Qian was able to write the immortal masterpiece "Historical Records" after being corrupted.

This is another realm.

He almost completed this policy question in one go.

It would be difficult for others to finish it in three days, but he finished it in just three hours.

Then I read it again and again.

Totally amazing.

There is no way to modify it, it is already perfect.

Then, he wrote this policy question on the examination paper word for word.

At this time, he only had one feeling in his heart.

In the Jinke Provincial Examination, he was completely stable.

There should be no opponents.

..........................................

With the sound of gongs!

time up!
In the fifth year of Xianfeng's reign, the Yimao Provincial Examination for Science and Technology was officially over!
More than 1 candidates left Gongyuan and returned home with deep fatigue!
And another emotion has just begun to accumulate.

The entire capital, and even the entire Zhili Province, are waiting for the results of this rural examination.

Su Yi is a literary star who has descended into the world, and is still the laughingstock of the world.

Just this once!
