Unlike the Ming Dynasty, all civil servants in Goryeo rode in sedan chairs. Of course, given the road conditions in Beijing, riding in a sedan is definitely more comfortable than riding in a car.

Jintao Jinsheren sat on his four-carry sedan. There were officers in front of him blowing gongs to clear the way, and behind him there were officers holding "avoidance" and "quietness" flags, as well as iron chains, water and fire sticks, yellow umbrellas, and his official title plate. .

His official title plaques have six sides, and unlike those vain Goryeo officials, each of Jin Sheren's six-sided plaques is solid.

They are respectively written as "Menxiasheren", "Yousiyi", "Second place in Yike", "Jinshi in Zhike", "Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty", and "Anqiu County Prime Minister".

The first two sides are his current official titles. The last four are his origins, and "second place in the second class" means that he passed the second place in Korea. Of course, the Goryeo Examination was equivalent to the Chinese Provincial Examination, so it was also called ‘Yike’. But other Korean Jinshi would not write "Yike" on their official title plates.

At first Jinke didn't write it, but later he broke up with several Korean champions, so he added the word "Yike" in front of the list, not for self-effacement, but to humiliate those arrogant so-called champions.

The reason why he is so pragmatic is because he is the only Ming Dynasty Jinshi in Goryeo. He is also the only Korean who has been granted an official position by the emperor of China. These experiences are all in the last three brands.

The best thing is that after he became a Jinshi, the Celestial Empire actually stopped the imperial examination. Those few who were so excited that they wanted to go to China and take the Jinshi examination and come back as the 'top scholar' immediately stopped thinking about it.

This uniqueness has always been his greatest pride in his life. Ming Dynasty naturally became his spiritual motherland.

But now, his spiritual motherland has become the source of his troubles...

Sitting in the sedan chair, Jin Sheren had a pair of dark circles under his eyes and a sad face.

He stayed up all night worried.

After leaving the guest house last night, Jin Tao was called to the house by Li Yuanjun before he could go home.

After asking the Chinese envoys in detail about their visit to the graves, Li Yuanjun told him to keep an eye on those Chinese people. If they discover the truth, they must report it as soon as possible. The capital will send troops to surround the guest house, and then...

"Oh, are we really going to come to this point?" Jin Tao sighed depressedly. Although Li Yuanjun didn't say what happened next, the ending was self-evident.

My own glory and pride will also be destroyed along with the destruction of the Celestial Mission...

At this time, the sedan came down and the guest house arrived.

The bearer lowered the sedan pole, opened the sedan curtain, and helped Jin Sheren get out of the sedan.

Looking up at the plaque of the guest house, Jin Tao shook his head and sighed, then walked in with a sad expression.

~~

As a full-time receptionist, when Jin Tao came to work, he naturally had to say hello to Cai Zhengshi and explain today's arrangements.

But Cai Bin said there was no rush and he would go to the mourning hall in the backyard first to lay incense sticks for Eunuch Huang.

Hearing that the people of the Ming Dynasty had built a mourning hall for Huang's wife, Jin Tao could only happily obey.

As the two of them walked side by side towards the backyard along the long corridor, Cai Binzhuangruo asked casually:

"By the way, why do you feel that there are many more guards outside than yesterday?"

"Oh, the recent opening of the capital has not been peaceful. I was afraid that some unruly people might disturb the envoy, so Mr. Cui Yuan sent another group of soldiers and horses to station outside the guest house." Jin Tao replied hurriedly.

"Your country is really thoughtful. I thought you were afraid that we would run away." Cai Bin made a joke. When he saw the Moon Gate Cave, he raised his hand and said, "Please."

Jin Tao nodded slightly and walked into the backyard.

His followers were about to follow, but were stopped by the Yulin Guards.

"Sir, why is this happening?" Jin Tao asked.

"It's okay, they don't deserve to enter our residence." Cai Bin said arrogantly, then patted Jin Tao on the shoulder and said: "But you are different, you are a Jinshi of our dynasty, you have proven your excellence, you can enter. "

"This..." Jin Tao couldn't help but frown. Although this statement was correct, there was something wrong with his intuition.

"It's okay, we won't go into the house, we'll just stay in the yard." Cai Bin reassured him.

Jin Tao then nodded to his followers and asked them to wait at the door.

He followed Cai Bin to the backyard, and sure enough he saw a funeral shed set up in the patio.

There is no shortage of black banners, white wreaths, and yellow paper figures and horses.

There were even soldiers playing the suona.

It can be seen how much the people of the Celestial Dynasty attach great importance to the Huang eunuch...

Jin Tao took a deep breath, approached the memorial shed, twisted a stick of incense, inserted it into the incense burner, knelt down and kowtowed three times respectfully.

When he was about to stand up, his shoulders suddenly sank.

I saw two people pressing their hands on his shoulders.

Jin Tao recognized these two people. One was named Hong Ji, who was from a hundred households; the other was named Hong Bin, who was the chief registrar of Taipu Temple.

"What are you two doing?" he shouted in displeasure.

"Jin Sheren, please kneel down for a moment." A slightly erotic voice sounded behind him. "Before our Eunuch Huang's death, let me tell you again, how did he die?"

"He is..." Jin Tao had just finished speaking when he heard the young and gloomy voice saying:

"People from Jinshe who have been selected as Jinshi in our dynasty should know that there is a saying in our dynasty that if you dare to tell lies about the deceased in front of his soul, he will fake his body to find trouble!"

"He is..." Jin Tao's throat trembled for a while, but he still said with difficulty: "He hanged himself..."

Before he finished speaking, the coffin boards were heard banging, and the whole coffin was shaking, as if Eunuch Huang inside had really faked the corpse.

"Ah..." Jin Tao was so frightened that he sat down like a duck.

"It seems you are lying!" Amidst the sharp and gloomy shouts behind him, someone grabbed the skin on the back of his head.

Jin Tao raised his head involuntarily.

Hong Bin, who held his left shoulder, held a portrait of the deceased in front of his eyes.

"We have conducted an autopsy overnight and found that the nails on Eunuch Huang's left and right hands were turned out, and there were obvious scratches on his neck, which are completely consistent with the scratches on his fingers. May I ask Jin Sheren, how to explain this?" Lao San asked sternly.

"This may be because he was in too much pain before he died and wanted to untie the rope and grab it with his own hands." Jin Tao said tremblingly.

"You're talking nonsense. If a person is hung by his neck, he can't lift his hands up!" Lao Si shouted angrily.

"Ah, is there such a thing?" This is indeed the first time Jin Ke has heard of it.

"You don't believe it? Come on, give Jin Sheren a live demonstration!" The sharp voice behind him sounded again.

Before he finished speaking, a rope was put around Jin Tao's neck from behind.

The rope was wrapped around the beam of the funeral shed, and the other end was held in the hand of the second child.

As soon as the sixth brother waved his hand, the second brother suddenly tugged on the end of the rope, and Jin Tao was lifted up by the neck.

I saw the Jin Tao man in mid-air, kicking his feet desperately, trying to find a foothold.

His two hands hung down limply, with no strength to lift them up...

"I can't even lift my hands when I'm hanging myself." The brothers gathered around to watch the hanging man, and exclaimed in wonder: "Lao Liu is such a god, he knows everything!"

"You don't want to look at who my teacher is?" Lao Liu said it was natural to blame him. No matter what skills he uses now, there is no need for psychological burden or even explanation. Others will blame Liu Bowen...

"I have also wanted to learn from Mr. Liu for a few years." The third child was very envious.

"It's a pity that people don't like you." Lao Si said to him.

Lao Wu was minding his own business and observed carefully: "It turns out that people really know how to stick out their tongues before they hang themselves. Wow, his tongue is so coated, he gets angry..."

"He's about to be hanged, gentlemen." Lin Mi reluctantly reminded these unattractive guys.
