Chapter Forty-Eight: Killing

In the night, a heavy black cloud flashed, illuminating the surface of the river, and a figure jumped from the boat to the shore, and fell into darkness again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rain poured down, and seeing that there were large paddy fields on both sides of the riverbank, the rice was golden, and it was close to harvesting, Pei Ziyun pressed his sword on the side of the field: "Get on the boat, as you said, if you go down the river, it is twice the speed from Fuli to the state city, and this is the ferry?"

There is a road here, go directly to Houdu Town, the town was originally bustling, but at this time, everyone fell asleep, and occasionally some lights shone out through the window.

The only trouble is that every now and then there is the barking of the big dog in the house.

The village is like this, as long as there is a dog in the wind and grass, and a dog barks, the dogs of the whole village will bark together, and the dogs often bark continuously. It can scare a lot of thieves and wake up the homeowner.

Pei Ziyun was hidden in the dark, there was a cool breeze blowing, and there were a lot of crickets at night, but in autumn, the sound of these crickets was a little bleak and gloomy.

"I remember that there is a Taoist temple, and there is a house not far away, which is the residence of Li Wenjing, but in my previous life, I just heard it, and I still have to find it. ”

Along the stone road in the town, after walking for a moment, I saw a Taoist temple, there is a big mansion near the Taoist temple, a few pine trees can be embraced, there are two lions squatting on the steps, go up and distinguish carefully, there is a plaque written "Li Mansion", Pei Ziyun is happy in his heart, this Li Wenjing's family must be here.

Pei Ziyun just thought about climbing over the wall, and suddenly the plum blossoms in front of his forehead moved, and his heart sank, this Li Wenjing's house has a Taoist prohibition, which is a little difficult to do.

"It's just that the new dynasty was founded, the dragon spirit was at its peak, the legal network was dense, and in the counties, counties, and states, in addition to the places where the amount was given, there were still some Taoism, and everything else was suppressed. ”

"Although this is a wharf, Li Wenjing heard about it in his previous life, and there are not many Taoist methods, so it is impossible to set a ban on the entire mansion. ”

Pei Ziyun thought about it, and surrounded the Li Mansion, when he was close to one place, the plum blossoms in front of his forehead were not bright, there was no prohibition here, and he was happy in his heart, and he climbed over the wall.

I thought to myself, I don't know if this Li Wenjing is not in the house, if he is here, he can kill him, and this jade will be broken.

When I entered the courtyard, I found that it was a three-in, three-out house, Da Xu Law, only people can live in a three-in, three-out house, this Li Wenjing is just a civilian, according to Da Xu's law, it is not too much to kill the head.

Entering the yard, there are some flowers and plants planted in the yard, there are some strange stones piled up in it, there is a small pool, not big, into the yard, I saw a vicious dog pounced, only to bark, the sword flashed, the tip of the sword pierced into the head of the vicious dog, stirred, the dog fell to the ground motionless.

Pei Ziyun hid the dog in the stone and touched it towards the yard, I don't know if this Li Wenjing is not there, or what, in this yard, there are no people patrolling, it is a joy.

Pei Ziyun walked all the way, once there was a plum blossom warning, Pei Ziyun avoided it, this courtyard was elegant and quiet, there was no sound, it should not be here, along the corridor, suddenly heard the woman's laughter, as if she was playing, with coquettishness.

Walking towards the front, as soon as I got closer, there was a smell of women's incense, there were osmanthus, roses, and some rouge, mixed together, permeating the yard, but the smell was very light.

When I got closer, I listened to a man's voice, which seemed to be teasing a woman, and I was happy in my heart, God helped me, this Li Wenjing deserved to be killed, his breath was exhausted, and he was at home.

I went to the front and poked a small hole in the window, and there was heat coming out, and there were many women inside, and it was a little cold on the autumn night, but there was a fire inside.

Take a closer look, the women inside are all wearing dresses, and I don't see the man, I think it's strange, isn't this Li Wenjing there?

Suddenly, a woman trembled in her skirt, and a man got out of her skirt, threw the woman to the ground, said love words, and pounced on it to do a good thing.

For a while, the room was full of spring, and the man was not satisfied, so he pulled a woman and picked it up, and there was spring inside.

Pei Ziyun looked carefully, this man was Li Wenjing, he had seen the portrait of this person in his previous life, and he had some impressions.

Another carnival?

Pei Ziyun couldn't help but sneer: "Hmph, although this person is resourceful, but he can't pass through the gate of heaven, even if there are some spells, it also takes time to cast, and it is very crispy, if you meet tonight, it is a godsend, and you can kill him with a sword." ”

Thinking like this, waiting for this person to finish the carnival, this spring enjoyment, naturally consumes the essence and blood of men, even if there are one or two Dao methods, but the Tao law cannot create essence blood out of thin air, this lust is just an introduction, from the desire to enter the Tao.

Even if you take a woman, there is a degree, too much, there will be loss, and the man has no strength after the intercourse, and there are fewer variables.

The sound of one after another filled the room, either bright or amorous, all of them were beauties, at this time Li Wenjing's heart suddenly felt a little uneasy, and suddenly he was stunned, and his eyes changed from desire to clarity.

"The prohibition of the Dao Law has not been touched, where does this uneasiness come from?"

Li Wenjing stood up, the woman under him was not satisfied, and when she saw that the man was about to go, she had to hold on, this Li Wenjing's body had already taken off clean, where could there be a place to catch it, Li Wenjing was shocked, and walked away, and the woman also sat up and muttered.

Li Wenjing ignored it, took the sword from the wall, walked to the corridor at the door, looked around, and still didn't notice anything unusual, because of the carnival here, there is isolation, and he was about to call someone when he ran to the door of the inner courtyard, only to turn a corner, and suddenly only heard a "poof" sound, only to feel a pain in his heart, looked down, and saw a bloody sword tip piercing out of his chest, his eyes were dark, and he was about to scream.

"Hold on!" A person came out from behind, a towel sealed his mouth, blood gushed out from Li Wenjing's body, and after waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement, just convulsions from time to time.

"It's as simple as having mental arithmetic and not having a mind. He put the man on one side of the floor, went back the way he came, went out of the courtyard, found the stable, and went straight to lead the horse.

"Who?" was about to lead away, the small house on the horse corridor, the horseman who was guarding the horses came out with hazy eyes, and saw a person who was going to lead the horse, because of the upright movement, so he did not call the thief for a while, and asked, "Who is it?"

Before the words fell, a stone hit the face, and I felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Pei Ziyun dragged the groom into the room, put his hand on the sword, and thought about whether to kill it, but he hesitated for a while and let go of the hilt of the sword: "This person didn't see his appearance clearly, just spare it!"

Thinking about it, he led the horse out the back door.

When he got to the road, he turned over his horse, scolded him, and the horse ran all the way.

Several women in the room felt strange, the old man was playing happily, protruding the door for a while, even if he was in a hurry, he was going to come back, so he put on his clothes and looked for it.

As soon as she went out, she saw a pool of blood on the ground, and the blood on the ground had condensed a little, and the woman exclaimed in surprise and immediately fainted to the ground.

The women in the back listened to the exclamations, and when they went out, they saw a large pool of blood, and followed the blood, and saw a naked man in the back of the corridor, with a sword thrown at his side.

A bold woman stepped forward to try to breathe, but she was already out of breath, and even her body was cold, she was all afraid, and called out loudly: "Come on, come on, the master was killed, the master was killed." ”

night

The clouds and rain gradually faded, the moonlight shone down, this horse ran very fast, it really deserved to be a good horse, just a night of running, this horse is also tired panting.

Pei Ziyun looked up to see that a morning star was hanging on it in the sky, and he could faintly see the city wall of the state city in the distance: "Hey, galloping a hundred miles overnight, this horse is really good, it must be worth at least fifty taels, right?"

"It's a pity, but I really can't take you with me. Pei Ziyun slowed down, galloped on the riverbank, and heard the sound of water in the river rumbling.

Pei Ziyun jumped off the horse, drew his sword and stabbed at the horse, the tip of the sword instantly passed through the horse's heart, the horse was not dead for a while, he jumped twice, jumped into the river, the blood stained red, and rushed down with the river.

He took off his clothes again, and though he was careful, there was still some blood on them, but not much, and he threw them into the water.

Pei Ziyun looked at the city wall, if it was wartime, not only would someone inspect, but also the nearby trees would have to be cut down, but now the world is peaceful, but there is no such rule, he saw a place, with the help of trees and buildings, turned over, and entered the city.

"Quick, it's almost dawn. ”

At this time, the street was deserted, there were no passers-by, the lanterns on the shop had long been extinguished, Pei Ziyun did not take the main road, turned around and went to the alley, ran to the inn, went to the backyard of the inn, went around to his room, and left the window when he came out last night, so he opened the window and went into his room with a flip.

I was really sleepy after a night of running around killing people, I lifted the quilt, and fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed, but after a while, I slept sweetly.

Prefecture City Gongyuan

The examiner's first paper has been read, according to the system, the state examination papers are read by the examiner first, first of all, there are direct typos, committed a holy secret, and violated the discipline of the examination room - all the debasement of the self-description and information, this is afraid that someone will cheat, after all, the name of the paper itself is to cover up the paper, you also self-described, this is to do it, do not depreciate you, who is deposed?

"How many are deposed?" asked Hu Yingzhen.

"This time, more than 3,000 volumes were dismissed due to violation of the system, totaling 561 volumes. "There have been reports that such papers are posted and not recorded.

"These talents, it's hard not to know that the state test is serious, so many violations and mistakes are missing. Someone said.

"The state test is stressful, and many newcomers are inevitable, even if you and me, it is not the first time that it will be leaky. "One of the examiners said something fair.

"Are the main scrolls and secondary scrolls out?" asked Hu Yingzhen.

"President, the main volume of 300 volumes and the secondary volume of 200 volumes have already come out. A grader said, exhaling.

After the exam, the examiner will read the papers in the room all night, which can be described as a great responsibility, and the pen in his hand is related to the departure and retention of each candidate, so it is enough, and these papers will be sent to the Ministry of Rites for polishing.

Some of the people in the Ministry of Rites are idle, and they check the papers one by one when they have nothing to do, and find that the papers have deviant theories, and the examiners and fellow examiners must be held accountable, and those who are selected must be cut off and dismissed.

The marking officer read the paper meticulously with trepidation, and now he can breathe a sigh of relief - the following matter is not the business of the ordinary marking officer, but the business of the room examiner.

The examiner re-reads the remaining 500 volumes and recommends them to the president.

This article is clever, and compared with other volumes, it is no longer on the same level. The examiner took a sip of tea, took a copy of the main paper and read it, only to read a few lines hastily, suddenly shocked, and re-read: "Pure and elegant, the article can be used as a model for the field." ”

"It reads a bit like Hanlin. ”

"This is also strange, not to mention Xiucai, even if you are waiting for idle people, you don't have this taste, you must enter Hanlin, and gradually develop this temperament. The examiner re-read it and felt that the style of writing had a sense of déjà vu: "This must be highly recommended." ”

As he spoke, he drew a circle and wrote a high recommendation.
