Xiao Yu said so formally, but there was no clear way in his heart, only thousands of chaotic thoughts, depressed in his chest and incomprehensible, thinking about it, suddenly remembering the young man who had a deep understanding of the world, after a little hesitation, he and Li Qing dressed up in plain clothes and came all the way to this Meng house.

Xiao Yu pondered for a long time, and finally decided to get straight to the point: "Does Doctor Meng know about a major event in the court recently?" ”

The young man raised his eyebrows, as if he thought for a moment, and then replied: "Meng Mou has never cared about the affairs of the temple, I don't know what Your Excellency is referring to, but recently, I have seen many young scholars who have come to seek medical treatment complaining, it seems that the customized imperial examination of the three-year competition has been postponed?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said solemnly: "That's exactly what happened." ”

Although the postponement of the scientific expedition is not unprecedented, it is also in a special era such as war and chaos, ordinary peaceful years, and this matter will definitely not appear lightly.

Especially under the national policy of this dynasty to respect scribes and win over scholars from all over the world.

However, the postponement of this scientific expedition is actually not without warning, as early as the past two years, Jinshang has been lazy in government affairs, and is only interested in cultivating longevity and building large-scale construction. This year's scientific examination is coming, and I don't know who I heard the slander, but fortunately, the customization of the scientific examination every three years was changed to once every six years, and it was hard to waste the good years of many scholars and scholars.

Even among the scholars who rushed to take the exam this time, a wave of resentment was quietly brewing, reciting poems and singing music among each other, venting dissatisfaction, and inciting collusion, which was quite stormy.

In relation to this matter, the mediocrity of the present is one thing, but the driving force behind this matter is another.

It is not a powerful minister who is in an important position and a powerful person who instigates the postponement of the scientific examination, but a petty official with a little-known name, and it is difficult to say that such officials usually reach the Holy Hearing, but this time they can go directly to the center of the cabinet without hindrance, and then enter the ears of Jinshang, and finally it is a foregone conclusion, and the collusion of all kinds of tricks must be famous.

Judging from the situation at his disposal, this is indeed the case.

From the top to the cabinet and from the bottom to the court, certain officials, big and small, not only have it become a common practice to form alliances with each other, but they have also worked with each other to work up and down, corrupt the program and discipline, and decadent government affairs.

As the crown prince of the dynasty, he did not dare to agree with today's behavior, but he could not face the confrontation, but this year he was using his power to secretly clean up the government and purge the Qing Dynasty, which was quite effective in the early days, but unfortunately the power in his hands was still thin, and he always encountered an inexplicable resistance in his actions.

It seems that on top of the human power, there is another indescribable and indescribable transcendent power, which is used by these courtiers to cover people's eyes and ears, sway the holy ears, and expand their power.

In the end, it is the situation of dominating the court and controlling the political situation today.

Xiao Yu thought of this, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "I noticed that there was another secret in this matter, and it seemed to be related to Dr. Meng." ”

"Oh?" Meng Heng smiled interestedly, looked at the other party a few times, and saw that his expression was serious, and there was no doubt or temptation, so he also patiently asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Doctor Meng has always had nothing to do with the court, and he already knows it in his heart. Dr. Meng and the ministers of the DPRK and China have always made friends from the heart, but they are only gentlemen's friends, and they have not colluded with each other, but some of Dr. Meng's unintentional actions are just right in the middle. ”

Speaking of this, the young man's handsome eyebrows sparkled slightly, and he smiled lightly, and said: "As the saying goes, 'peach and plum do not speak, and the bottom is self-contained', Dr. Meng is like a high mountain and bright moon, and the courtiers who come and go are also clear and upright, and there is nothing wrong with it. But this is also a joint point in this matter. ”

Meng Heng couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at the smiling young man at the corner of his mouth, poured a full cup of tea and handed it over, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Your Excellency has something to say, you don't have to compliment Meng so much, what Meng looks like, I still know it in my heart." The breeze and the bright moon, Meng only knows that there are nights and nights, everyone can appreciate it, what is very rare, but I don't understand, Your Excellency still use it to compliment others. As he spoke, he handed the cup of tea to the young man.

Xiao Yu saw that the young man was so outspoken, not only was he not shocked, but he also sneered at the gentleman's style and the bright moon and breeze that the world's soldiers took to flaunt their own gentleman's style, the bright moon and the breeze, and couldn't help laughing, laughing loudly, holding the tea cup served by the young man with both hands to his lips, and drinking it in a big gulp, and then the tea entered his throat, but he was suddenly stunned, and he choked coldly into his lungs between hesitations, which was an earth-shattering cough.

It turned out that there were very few people in the juvenile mansion, and now Luo Yun retreated, a few people patronized and talked, no one warmed the tea, the tea was already cold, in this late autumn season, it was cold, comparable to well water, and suddenly poured such a big mouthful, it was like a stick to drink, and it was cold to the bottom of my heart.

Now choking into the lungs, the taste is even more indescribable.

Xiao Yu was beaten on the back by Li Qing in a hurry, and on the other hand, he covered his mouth with a scarf, describing him as a wolf, which was far from the appearance of talking and laughing and polite just now.

The young man couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the gentle and elegant prince also had such a wolf state, what a blessing it is for Meng to be able to see it today." ”

As the young man spoke, his eyebrows were filled with a smile and an undisguised hint of ridicule, but it suddenly made the eyebrows that had been modified by the disguise herbs add a bit of brilliance.

Xiao Yu was stunned, half embarrassed and half generously smiled, barely suppressed his cough, and said in a dumb voice: "It's a faux pas, which makes Doctor Meng laugh." ”

Li Qing had a dark face behind him, as if he was dissatisfied with the young man's hospitality, but seeing that his master was so generous, he had to endure and remain silent.

But seeing Meng Heng's thin lips hooked, he said indifferently: "Your Excellency's meaning, Meng has already understood a little. Although Meng doesn't care about the changes in the situation, his own affairs will not be ambiguous. Your Excellency not only said that it was about Meng, but also said that the officials who had interacted with Meng were all honest and innocent, the implication of the words was that the officials who had not intersected with Meng were not innocent? Well, probably this 'unclear and unclear' is related to the postponement of the imperial examination? ”

While analyzing calmly, the young man continued to hit the nail on the head: "However, Meng's dealings with the courtiers are mostly only seen in diagnosing people's hearts, selling medicinal herbs, or ......" The young man paused for a moment, smiled suddenly, lowered his voice meaningfully, and said: "Exorcise evil spirits and hunt demons." ”

"Could it be that the court is now entangled with that demon's crooked path?"

Meng Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked.

He has occasionally heard that Lord Fu Yin seems to have accidentally omitted to say that the current saint is only obsessed with seeking immortals and asking, but he ignores the government and politics. However, since he came to this time and space, he has seen a lot of demons and monsters, but he has never seen a Taoist priest who can really eliminate demons and defend the Dao.

Moreover, he also noticed that those goblins and ghosts were more likely to entangle these high-ranking officials than ordinary people.

Some of them suffered so much that they invited Meng Heng to come to the door to help, but others could not guarantee that they were not in cahoots with the monster.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that Wu Youzhen's mansion a few days ago seemed to have an unusual demonic aura.

When Xiao Yu heard the young man say this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Meng actually thinks so too. Although this matter is appalling and unbelievable, in the next year, although I have not grasped the real handle, I have indeed found something unusual, but I don't know how such aliens are doing trouble. ”

When he spoke, he looked sad and dignified.

Meng Heng looked at the young man's expression, his thin lips were slightly curved, and he couldn't help but sneer: "What's so unbelievable about this? Just because you don't see it in your eyes doesn't mean you don't have it in the world. After speaking, he smiled sadly, and said quietly: "Besides, what kind of tricks can this demon and monster have?" It's nothing more than to bewitch people, eat people and drink blood, or confuse people's minds, suck sperm and extract marrow, oh yes, it is more likely to take away his human skin and replace it, maybe a certain elegant and stable minister has changed the vice core inside. ”

Meng Heng's tone was brisk, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if what he was talking about was not such a bloody-bloody matter, but just a short conversation and laughter in the family.

Li Qing, who had been listening silently beside him, had already felt a chill in his back spine, and he couldn't help but glance behind him, although there was nothing, he felt even more desolate and desolate, and couldn't help but tuck the front of his body, and kept glancing at his master with his eyes.

But seeing that the young man's face was as usual, not moving like a bell, he did not waver at all, but his face was solemn, and he asked the young man: "In this way, Doctor Meng is not only able to exorcise evil spirits and catch demons, but also knows a lot about demons?" ”

Meng Heng raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "I know a little bit about it." ”

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with today." After speaking, he lowered his voice slightly, and said: "Doctor Meng can not only perceive people's hearts, distinguish demons and demons, but also often walk around the homes of courtiers, I wonder if I can help in the next favor?" ”

The young man didn't look at him, and said without a wave: "It's okay to help, but the price has to be said first." ”

Then he raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "This is also a prior agreement." ”
