A day later, before dark, they finally arrived at the last small village in the Jianye City area, Taoyuan Village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taoyuan, a paradise, originally migrated from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and lived a peaceful and stable life, but had to enter the WTO again after being discovered. Now it has become the most remote village in Jianye City.

By the time they entered, almost every house was closed.

Li Wei looked at the village and said, "It's really early to rest here, much earlier than Jianye City." ”

Zhiwei said: "Normal, this is a small village and there is no nocturnal activity, so it is not strange to go to bed early and get up early." Now let's find a place to sleep, I don't want to sleep in the wild anymore. ”

Li Wei moved his body for a moment and said, "I don't want to, I didn't do well this time, I didn't bring mosquito repellent... ”

They went from the head of the village to the end of the village, and finally found a tavern that was still open. "Taoyuan Tavern"

After entering, I saw that there were still three or four people sitting inside, all of whom were catchers in official uniforms.

When the shopkeeper saw a guest coming in, he immediately greeted him and asked, "Considerable, stay in the hotel or eat?" ”

Li Wei said: "Both, do you still have a room here?" ”

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Yes, I don't know what room you need?" ”

Zhiwei immediately said: "As long as it's not noisy, everything else is free." ”

"Okay, shopkeeper, the guests want a quiet big bed room." The shopkeeper immediately called.

"Yes, the number 1. The guest officer pays the money here. ”

Zhiwei immediately took out a few taels of silver and threw them to the shopkeeper, and said, "Here you go, some wine and food for the rest." ”

The shopkeeper threw the weight of the silver and said, "What kind of food do you need?" We also had some venison and duck and some leaves. Wine, our most famous here is peach blossom wine, do you want to have some? ”

When Li Wei heard that there was venison, he immediately said, "Let's have a plate of venison slices, and then a fat chicken." A bottle of wine is also available. ”

Zhiwei saw that all he ordered was meat, and immediately added two green vegetables.

When the shopkeeper heard that the customer had ordered the food, he immediately said yes and retreated.

Soon, the dish was delivered, and the question was not bad, whether it was wine or meat, it had a faint peach blossom flavor.

Eating, eating, the voice of the other side is getting louder and louder. They heard it from afar.

"Don't you think it's strange? I didn't lose anything, but I was stolen a few chickens, ducks and geese every day?"

"Yes, it doesn't look man-made, if it's a human being, it's good to invest in gold and silver treasures, where do you need to steal these, and steal them every day, can you eat them all?"

"It's not like a goblin, if it's a goblin, it will steal people directly, I heard that in the eyes of goblins, humans are the most delicious."

"Don't worry about this for now, you'll find out after a good investigation tomorrow, and we'll talk about it when you're full now."

Li Wei listened to their discussion, turned his head and whispered, "Are you interested?" Why don't you look into it too? ”

Zhiwei shook his head and said: "I'm not interested, and we don't seem to have enough time, if we delay here for a few days, we will have to rush to death, can I do it?" ”

Li Wei looked at his feet and said, "Forget it, it's the first time I've encountered these things, I originally wanted to investigate them carefully, but now forget it." ”

After a night of silence, the next day they began to prepare the food, mosquito repellent, and two mountain knives needed to go through Taiheng Mountain.

Seeing that they needed these things, the shopkeeper immediately asked, "Shaoxia, do you want to go through Taiheng Mountain?" ”

Zhiwei nodded and said, "Well, we have to go to Chang'an." ”

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Now that Taiheng Mountain is making demons, the government is organizing the capture of demons, for the sake of safety, you better wait." ”

Li Wei laughed when he heard it and said: "It would be good if we met it, let me tell you, we originally wanted to stay and get rid of the demon, but we didn't have enough time to cross the Taiheng Mountain, and now if we meet the demon, we just get rid of him." ”

Zhiwei also nodded and agreed: "Listening to their analysis last night, it is estimated that this demon is not a big demon, only stealing chickens, ducks and geese, I guess it may be a little demon who has just been transformed, and it is estimated that there will be no danger." ”

The shopkeeper also said at this time: "Also, this demon is also strange, he only steals chickens, ducks and geese, and does not steal others, it is estimated that he is a fox incarnate." ”

After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, they immediately set off towards Taiheng Mountain.

In the Tang Palace, Li Shiming said to the courtiers below: "The first imperial examination is about to be held, I don't know how Aiqing is preparing?" ”

Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Emperor, we discussed the preparation of dividing the imperial examination into the Wenwu subject, and its Chinese subject is divided into six subjects, namely Xiucai, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Ming Fa, Ming Shu, and Ming Calculation, each subject will set up a champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, and set up 4 to 10 people. A total of 10 outstanding talents were admitted. The martial arts assessment of horse shooting, foot shooting, flat shooting, horse pistol, and weight-bearing among them will be hired, regardless of rank. ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin shouted happily: "Your classification is really good, but how to prevent cheating?" “

Wei Zheng continued: "All the liberal arts questions are written by scholars and respected people, and they need to enter the examination room a month in advance. The martial arts department was supervised by the general, and the literati were invigilated. “

"That's a good proposal, what do you guys think?"

The other ministers had no opinions, and then Li Shimin asked again: "When does the time start?" “

Wei Zheng continued: "The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the same is true for the country's selection. The beginning of spring is the best. “

"Seconded, seconded." All the ministers agreed.

Li Shimin saw that the important things were finished and asked, "Do other people have anything important?" “

Cheng Yanjin stood up at this time and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." “

"Say."

Cheng Yanjin said: "About seven days ago, there was a heavenly punishment incident in the East Bay. ”

When Li Shimin heard that there was a heavenly punishment, he nervously asked, "Oh, how can there be a heavenly punishment?" Did there be an incident of Heavenly Fury? ”

Cheng Yanjin continued: "According to the emperor's investigation by Weichen, there is none. ”

"And why?"

"The minister found a clue about the demon from the investigation result, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with heavenly punishment?"

When Li Shimin heard that a demon appeared, he immediately asked, "Why has it nothing to do with heavenly punishment?" How did the demon appear? ”

"According to Weichen's investigation, the demon escaped from the underworld, and now he has been caught, and the heavenly punishment incident may have something to do with the evil ghost."

Li Shimin heard Cheng Yanjin's words in a mess, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You second goods, can you make it clear?" I said a little bit earlier, and then I said a little bit later, and now what does it have to do with evil spirits?. ”

Cheng Biting Jin scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, I said it at the time of the clues, I speculated that the appearance of the evil ghost led to the punishment of heaven, as for the demon, it only appeared after the evil ghost was eliminated, in fact, I think the emperor approved the use of the army to help me find my apprentice." ”

Li Shimin was speechless when he heard this reason...

。。。。。

Cheng Yanjin returned to the Tang Dynasty Mansion, found the chief and said, "The emperor kicked me out of the palace, what do you say?" ”

The chief asked about the situation, and Cheng Yanjin truthfully described the situation at that time. The Chief looked at him with a bewildered expression.

Cheng Yanjin looked at the chief's bewildered appearance and asked, "What?" Did I say something wrong? ”

The chief nodded and said, "Master, there is something wrong with what you said. But it's probably because the emperor wants to talk about other important things. ”

Cheng Yanjin also nodded and said, "It's almost, I heard that there is something going on in the imperial examination, but they don't let me participate." ”

The chief thinks, you big mouth, of course you don't want you to participate, if you do, then the whole world will know.

He said: "Master, since the emperor doesn't agree, then I'll go and find it, anyway, I haven't been out for a long time, and I want to go." ”

Cheng Yanjin heard that the chief wanted to find it by himself, and immediately said happily: "Okay, okay, then you can go, I don't have to worry about you."
