Chapter 323: Shortlisted for the Imperial Examination

In the dark night, sometimes a few dogs barked from not far away, or the sound of a husband yelling, Kyoto, which was bustling and noisy during the day, was so quiet at night.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation, but it was abruptly stopped the moment he opened his mouth to shout, accompanied by the blood that splattered from his neck, like fireworks shining in the dark night, so thrilling.

The hand covering his mouth slowly let go, and the black shadow on the high wall in the distance slowly came, kneeling on the ground, bowing his head in unison, and his voice was low and undulating: "Your Highness, everything is ready." ”

Throwing the dead husband in his hand to the ground, there was a mockery in his dark eyes, and the man's voice was cold and indifferent: "Brother Huang, what are you doing?"

"Dali Temple has now received the prince's secret order, and I am afraid that tomorrow, General Lin will be accused of hanging himself. The dark shadow at the front bowed his head in reply.

His hands straightened up the folded shirt slightly, his long ink-colored hair fluttered lightly in the night breeze, and a chuckle came from under the black scarf: "He never leaves half leeway in doing things, quite like his father." ”

At last, he raised his hand and waved, signaling the group behind him to retreat, gathered his cloak, and slowly walked into the night.

After he left, the mansion separated by a wall was on fire overnight, and the mansion of the Lin family's meritorious heroes, who was full of great military achievements, walked through the water overnight, except for General Lin, who was in prison, and Lin Qingge, the only daughter of the Lin family, who went out to study, no one survived. The strange thing is that the officials and people who witnessed the fire with their own eyes, but none of them went to put out the fire, only when it was burned to ruins, Jingzhao Yin Yao was a little hastily mentioned it on the occasion of the last dynasty, and Emperor Tiansheng didn't seem to pursue this matter, but just sighed lightly.

Seven days later, Tiansheng's triennial autumn imperial examination was officially held in the Hanlin Academy, and early, there were some students sitting on the ground, holding books and reading eloquently, looking at the closed gate of the Hanlin Academy from time to time, and their hearts were all counting the hours.

At this moment, a man rushed from not far away, dressed in a vegan body, his black hair was coiled by white satin, his slender eyebrows were frequently wrinkled, his apricot eyes were hazy and steamy, his face was handsome and beautiful, and his body was slightly thin.

"Miss. A whisper came from the man's side, followed by a slap on the shoulder.

"Yu'er. The brows were very unhappy, Lin Qingge glanced at this personal servant girl with a slight warning, and finally sighed helplessly, and said, "The autumn season is about to start, you go back to the inn and wait for me." ”

"That boy should be careful. Yu'er admonished, and then stepped away.

Watching her leave, Lin Qingge's lips pursed slightly, and she raised her hand to untie the jade pendant on her waist, which was the only abrupt ornament she had on her body, and it was also the only thing that her father and mother left for herself.

The superior has only a few words of condolence, as if it is a grace from heaven. She smiled sadly, yes, how serious the crime of treason is, she hanged herself for fear of crime, and did not blame her, the orphan of the criminal minister, what a great grace.

The five fingers were tightened, and the sound of the jade pendant in the palm was almost faint, and the beads the size of sand grains were curled up in the palm with a touch of coldness, but it was cold to the bone.

She must enter the officialdom, she must find out the enemy who destroyed the Lin family, and then, the corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces.

At this moment, a small green-roofed sedan chair came slowly, and the little guy who led the way in front of him beckoned the students sitting around the gate of the courtyard to leave, and kept shouting: "Get out of the way, my young master is here." ”

Hearing his words, Lin Qingge raised his eyebrows slightly, and his body also moved to the side, but his eyes were looking in through the gap in the sedan curtain, but he couldn't see the flowers or the fingernails of the people in the sedan chair.

The sedan chair stopped, but the door of the Hanlin Courtyard slowly opened, and from the inside, a scholar of Hanlin University Lin Yuanshan, dressed in a dark blue official robe, was caressed lightly, and his body was bloated, so he ran out step by step, and said with a smile: "Young Master Yuan is here." ”

Such a move caused a burst of discussion among the students around them who were going to take the exam, and they all looked at the people who were about to come out of the sedan chair.

Young Master Yuan, Lin Qingge raised his eyebrows, there are very few people with the surname Yuan in Kyoto, but there is only one family that can provoke this Lin University scholar to greet him, Yuan Yu, the son of Yuan Heng, the imperial master.

Looking at Lin Yuanshan's smiling face, Lin Qingge frowned slightly, if this autumn season is another cat, then with his current self, how can he be exalted.

Yuan Yu got off the sedan chair, squinted at Scholar Lin, and was a little satisfied with his courtesy, walking in front of him with a fan in his hand, with a little casual in his words, "Young Master Ben wants to participate in the Autumn Festival and wants to enter the court as an official." ”

As soon as his words were put down, the scholar of Lin University, who was already over half a hundred years old, opened his mouth and replied with a smile: "Young Master Yuan has both civil and military skills, if he can enter the court as an official, he must be a pillar of talent, Tiansheng is very lucky." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Qingge's eyes darkened slightly, although she has been studying, but she also knows that this officialdom is boring, just a month ago, Lin Yuanshan's arrogant only son robbed the people's daughter in Yang County, and unfortunately robbed the daughter of the county commander of the county in Yang County.

Now it seems that this bachelor, who has always been honest and clear, is afraid that he has inherited the love of Master Yuan.

Listening carefully to Lin Yuanshan's gushing words of praise, Lin Qingge was funny, this young master of the Yuan family, his reputation in Kyoto is not very good, and he is both civil and military.

In addition to Lin Yuanshan, an academician of the Hanlin Academy, there are also two Wenge attendants, when he did not enter the examination room, Lin Qingge was at least a little relieved in his heart, although Lin Yuanshan was the main exam, but if these two attendants were there, I am afraid that there would be no action, however, she was wrong.

Just as she was writing the test questions, just when there was still an hour before she stopped writing, Lin Yuanshan above was slowly walking towards Yuanyu's seat, and then when Lin Qingge looked back, she took out a copy that had already been prepared from her sleeve, and she was shocked in her heart, what that thing was, she knew and understood.

Silently handed in the papers, she stepped out of the Hanlin Courtyard, and everything could only be left to fate.

Today's test questions flashed in his mind, and he smiled lightly, Emperor Tiansheng can come up with such a test question, I am afraid that it is another consideration, the test questions in previous years are not based on the government as the first choice, even so, it is also based on the deeds of predecessors, and this time the test questions are afraid that there will be another reward.
