Chapter 370: Bones
By the end of February, the specific matters of the emperor's Kaienke had been ready to stop, and those who had left Beijing to become gold rushed to the capital one after another, and stayed in the inn. A little farther away may still be on the way, and farther away, such as Xinzhou and Wuzhou, these provinces and cities, it is estimated that the state of the concert is still on the way.
Shen Lanying deeply doubted that Emperor Hui's purpose in opening Enke was to select talents and use energy, or to make trouble.
It wasn't until one day that Emperor Hui sent the eunuchs around him to Lian'an Palace to spread the word, and Shen Lanying clearly realized that Emperor Hui was just here to do things.
The eunuch asked Shen Lanying and Jiang Yuxuan if they would like to participate in the imperial examination with many juzi at one time.
"I don't want to!" Shen Lanying shouted cleanly.
It was probably Shen Lanying's "unwillingness" that contained too much resentment, and the eunuch was frightened by Shen Lanying, glanced at her sideways, and then turned to Jiang Yuxuan to ask what she meant.
Because Shen Lanying refused too simply, Jiang Yuxuan mistakenly thought that there was a mystery in this, so she also rejected the proposal. As for her original intentions, it is unknown.
After that, the eunuch asked the two if they were willing to participate in the imperial examination.
Very good, this Enke is 100% Huidi doing things.
Shen Lanying thought for a while and asked the eunuch Sikong Yan if he participated in the question, and the result was that the person who wrote the question for each subject had Sikong Yan's name.
Listening to the meaning of the eunuch, it seems that it is the prime minister, the great Sima, the great Sikong, the great Sikou, the great Situ, and the left and right generals are all named.
Of course, the specific scheduling should be up to Da Situ, this position is equivalent to the head of the personnel department, and he also manages the education of the people, and the examination papers are naturally in his management scope.
In order to sprinkle dog food with Sikong Yan, Shen Lanying participated in the imperial examination in line with the principle of irresponsibility. And Jiang Yuxuan first asked the eunuch which subject Li Chengyue participated in. As long as it is a link in which Li Chengyue participates, she has to intervene.
During these days, Shen Lanying went out of the palace very frequently, and most of the time she was with Sikong Yan, for this phenomenon, the bigwigs in the capital were no longer surprised, so she went.
One day, Shen Lanying went to Sikong Yan again, and Sikong Yan happened to have something to do, so he simply took Shen Lanying with him.
Si Kou Qingling made an appointment with Sikong Yan to meet on a hill in the northwest of the suburbs of Beijing. He also specially instructed Sikong Yan to bring a few servants who were carrying things.
On the carriage, Sikong Yan said, "Sakura-chan, I have some things to attend to in the afternoon, so I can't go boating with you." ”
"Oh. Shen Lanying nodded, "Then are you free tomorrow?"
"I must be free tomorrow, let's go to the exam room together to see the excitement. Anyway, why don't you ask me what I'm going to do this afternoon?"
Shen Lanying said leisurely, "If you say this, it must not be a good thing, it's better for me not to ask." ”
Sikong Yan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile, "I'll go see Jiang Yuwan, she will be in the capital tomorrow afternoon." ”
"I'll just say it's not a good thing...... You have to be careful when you see her, don't eat what she gives, aphrodisiacs have been popular lately. ”
Sikong Yan: "......"
Shen Lanying suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, why did she only come back to the capital now? Didn't she know that you were gone at the beginning of the year?"
"Because I made it difficult for her. ”
"Really?" Shen Lanying's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What did I lie to you. ”
"Well, then I forgive you. Shen Lanying smiled and kissed Sikong Yan on the face, "Don't worry about going to Princess Zhaoying tomorrow." ”
After arriving at the destination, Shen Lanying got out of the car and saw a group of people not far away.
Six or seven men, dressed like officials of the government, gathered together to enjoy the coolness. Si Kou Qingling was also sitting on the ground, with his back against a tree, still holding a scroll in his hand, and reading intently.
Now Si Kou Qingling's belly is already very big, and it looks like she will give birth in another month or two.
"It's coming, it's quite punctual. Si Kou Qingling put down the book and pointed to the side, "The thing is here." ”
Shen Lanying looked over and found that there was a big crater one meter away from Si Kou Qingling, and her curiosity was haunted, Shen Lanying didn't think too much, so she ran over to find out.
The pit was more than a meter deep, and in the middle lay a white skeleton.
When Shen Lanying saw the corpses in the pit, she screamed in fright and threw herself into Sikong Yan's arms reflexively.
When Sikong Yan saw the corpse in the pit, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly pulled Shen Lanying away from the edge of the pit, hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly.
The two were intimacy, and Si Kou Qingling's voice came slowly, "His Royal Highness Zhaoying is not even afraid of killing, but he is afraid of a skeleton that can't move?"
your fear! Shen Lanying suddenly felt extremely unhappy, broke free from Sikong Yan's arms, and reasoned with Si Kou Qingling, "In broad daylight, you dug a pit and put a corpse, who will not be scared to death by you!"
Si Kou Qingling still wanted to say something, Shen Lanying had been taken away by Sikong Yan and thrown back into the car.
Shen Lanying naturally couldn't let the careerist get her way, she lifted the curtain of the car and poked her head to look at the two people by the pit.
"Who is this?" Sikong Yan asked in a deep voice as he walked back to the pit.
"My cousin has only done half of the work, and I'm here to clean up the aftermath for him. Si Kou Qingling said, gesturing to the officials next to him, and one of them came over with a tray.
"This is the belongings of the deceased. Si Kou Qingling lifted the white cloth on the tray, "He is An Xuening's dead lover." The deceased had two fractures and toxins were detected in the bones. It can be deduced that the cause of death was poison. By the way, the person who buried him sprinkled lime on the corpse, which accelerated the corrosion of the corpse, so what we saw was a white skeleton. ”
Sikong Yan squatted down on the edge of the pit, and sure enough, he found two bone wounds on the corpse. He looked at Si Kou Qingling and said with a smile, "It's cold in this early spring, you are still pregnant, why did you come to such a remote place?"
"Lord Lao is worried. ”
Sikong Yan smiled, "Just call me by name, I can't do it for long." ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Si Kou Qingling's mouth, "Yes, it won't be long, when the fifth prince ascends the throne, maybe you will pay your respects." After that, he was obviously unwilling to be polite to Sikong Yan, so he got up and beckoned his subordinates to prepare to withdraw. Before leaving, he said, "If you want to use this corpse, you can move it." I can testify if necessary. ”
Sikong Yan clenched his fists and bowed, "Thank you Mr. for your help, he will repay him one day." ”
Si Kou Qingling's body paused, frowned, and said, "I don't want the adult to reciprocate, I just ask the adult to be gracious...... Give me Sikong Fu's corpse. ”
Sikong Yan's body stagnated slightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”
Then he took his leave. With that, Si Kou Qingling left with his men.
