He Mengzhuo was also surprised to hear that the people he sent out were all thrown out of the inn by a white-clothed scholar. It seems that the other party has been on guard for a long time, but it is more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

Since he didn't succeed in dealing with her last night, he will weigh her in person to see if she is really qualified to be his opponent.

"Young master, do you want to send someone to attack on the road?" He Bing said in a low voice.

I thought that the woman was not a threat, and there was still a trace of pity. Now it seems that the woman is not that simple.

He Mengzhuo stretched out his hand to stop He Bing from talking.

"No, I'll do it myself!"

The young master's ability, he can trust it. However, once you enter Xinglin Garden, there is no way back. If the young master fails, he will have to say goodbye to this year's apricot grove event.

Although he thought so, He Bing didn't dare to say it. In this way, he is undoubtedly questioning the strength of the young master, even if he is the young master's confidant, he does not dare to bear the blame of the young master.

Lu Mansheng arrived at Xinglin Garden safely, Qiao Yu waited outside Xinglin Garden, and there was no way to follow up. I thought that this road would not be peaceful, but it turned out to be unexpectedly smooth.

Lu Mansheng and He Mengzhuo are the thirteenth group, ranked in order, and went to the third venue of Xinglin Garden for the final round of selection for the retest.

There are three examiners in each venue, and the test questions are circled by the emperor's imperial pen and assigned to each venue. There are 77 sets in total, which means that there are 77 different papers, which is the case, but this is not the case.

The examination questions of the Apricot Forest Festival are the brainchild of the previous imperial doctors. Every year before the apricot grove event. There are countless new test questions. After the chief and gold medal imperial doctors screened layer by layer, the test questions were divided into several levels according to the difficulty and ease of the process, and sticky notes were pasted. Presented to the emperor.

These test questions were uniformly numbered, and the emperor, the imperial pen annotated, randomly assigned the test questions to each venue and each group. Replace it with a number and stuff it inside a large cardboard box with a royal seal attached.

Except for the emperor, no one knows what the exam questions of each group are. This is the strictest and last guarantee to ensure the fairness of the Apricot Forest Festival.

When Lu Mansheng entered, He Mengzhuo was already standing inside.

Teal caftan with a handsome face. He's a very outstanding young man. But this person's whole body, the most impressive thing is that person's eyes. The slender evil spirit flew obliquely into the peach blossom eyes of the temples, as cunning as a fox, and it was full of calculation and wisdom. There was a smile on his face. Watching Lu Mansheng walk in. It seems that in an instant, the opponent is thoroughly analyzed.

There are two words left before the test, and during this time, candidates sit behind their seats and wait quietly for the bell to ring.

"Miss Lu, it's a good luck." He Mengzhuo actually took the initiative to greet Lu Mansheng, with such a look, did he admit that the two people who sneaked into the Fulai Inn last night were sent by him?

Done something bad. is still so straightforward, Lu Mansheng is the first time I have seen it.

Lu Mansheng nodded at him. He jumped past him and sat down in his place.

He Mengzhuo raised the corners of his mouth and snorted lightly. There are a few brushes, and you'll see for a while. He Mengzhuo is not a five+ healer, and in the first few rounds, he did not use all his strength. Those opponents were solved with less than half of his strength, and he didn't need to be so serious.

He doesn't feel the feeling of being trampled under the feet of Lu Mansheng, what he is pursuing is the final result, what does it matter if he finishes first or second in the group? Being able to stand among the royal doctors of the Dayao Dynasty is the real ability!

The big bell hanging in the Xinglin Garden rang, and after three rings, the three examiners walked into the venue.

None of these three examiners have ever been seen by Lu Mansheng. The eldest one in the middle is Dr. Song, who is also the head of the three examiners. On the left is Dr. Huang, and on the right is Dr. Zhang. On a large table in front of the third venue, a cardboard box was placed.

In front of the candidates, Dr. Song lifted the royal seal on the cardboard box and took out the exam paper from inside.

This exam paper is divided into three parts, the first part is to make an article.

The Xinglin Festival is going on here, focusing mostly on hands-on practical ability, just when Lu Mansheng thought that her most tricky poetry and writing would not appear again, it appeared in the last round of this retest.

The title of the article is to express my views on the sudden death of Lord He Yongjun in Yokoe last year.

Is this an ancient political exam?

As soon as the exam paper arrived in his hand, He Mengzhuo snorted lightly, picked up a brush and brushed it to write. After a while, more than 100 words were written.

And Lu Mansheng, who can tell her who that He Yongjun is? And where is Yokoe?

When Lu Mansheng came to Luhua City, the violent death of Lord He Yongjun, who was in a uproar, had already fallen silent. Lu Mansheng rarely interacts with people, and likes to be quiet, not to mention that he doesn't know the ins and outs of the cause and effect of this incident, it is the name He Yongjun, and she is also very unfamiliar.

As for Hengjiang, it is a small place in the southwest border, Lord He Yongjun patrols the sky on behalf of the sky, inspects the southwest officials, and when he goes to Hengjiang on a private visit to Weifu, he died violently on the bank of the Hengjiang River, which has become a major mystery in the dynasty.

The emperor once sent a minister to investigate the case of Lord He Yongjun's violent death, but the mission lasted for two months and found nothing. The emperor removed three ministers in a row, and they all said that they died of a sudden illness. The young emperor only thought that things were not so simple, and it was a provocation by a group of treacherous ministers to the court. However, there is no conclusive evidence, and there is no way.

It is a matter of the secrets of the imperial court, and it is really intriguing that the emperor has such an exam question today.

The exam questions of the Xinglin Festival once again mentioned the case of Lord He Yongjun's violent death, and this matter must soon spread to the southwest. The emperor took this opportunity to sue those people, and he didn't forget about it? Or is it a simple deterrence, the purpose is also to see the attainments of this generation of candidates?

Thinking of this, Lu Mansheng's thoughts immediately stopped.

To this day, no one knows what the real cause of death was for Lord He Yongjun. Sudden death? These two words are profound. The emperor was obsessed with this matter, just wanting to hear some other voices.

Lu Mansheng decided to take a gamble.

No matter how good she is in the last two parts, she is not the opponent of He Mengzhuo, who is full of confidence.

Is it to knock out here, or to take a chance? Of course, if he chose the latter, if Lu Mansheng didn't even have this guts, he wouldn't have come here.

Now all she has to do is design a brilliant assassination.

She believed that the purpose of this exam question was not to explain the cause of the violent death, and those who knew well about the physical condition of Lord He Yongjun, what was abnormal in his body before he died, and wrote thousands of words with gusto, may not be able to win.

Of course, no matter how you say it, these people are in better condition than Lu Mansheng. She now had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

To design an assassination, you have to create a viable environment. In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, corrupt officials and corrupt officials killed people and killed people, such a story is really not new, but it is also the most suitable for the emperor's thoughts.

Lu Mansheng was certainly not stupid enough to write all these thoughts on a rolling paper, she just described a story to everyone in a pen style as soft as a spring breeze with rolling thunder.

A perfect, story about an assassination that no one will perceive afterwards!

And that place is in the southwest border. In order to strengthen the credibility of the story, Lu Mansheng thought of a very feasible layout around this point.

In the southwest border, there is a small insect called cantharidus (pronounced the same as "hair"), which feeds on the nectar of cyanonine rice, and this small insect can be used to perform some special tasks after being raised by special personnel.

If a person is unfortunate enough to be stained with the fragrance of cyan rice flowers, once the little cantharids are released, they will circle around the person. The tentacles of this insect come into contact with the skin on the face and neck, and the skin becomes allergic, leading to convulsions of the body. In hot weather, it will also make people die suddenly, giving the illusion of sudden death.

At this point, Lu Mansheng put his pen down. After thinking about it, looking at most of the volume, the pen turned, and compared with the previous understatement, it took most of the space to describe in detail the rarity and cultivation method of the fragrance of the cyanoba, as well as the difficulty of breeding and raising the cantharid.

Lu Mansheng looked at the leaky pot, there was still more time for more words, He Mengzhuo put down the brush, blew lightly on the rolling paper, nodded with satisfaction, pressed it with a paperweight, turned around and walked out of the venue.

Before leaving, he also glanced at Lu Mansheng, with a provocation.

Lu Mansheng glanced at it, ignored it, got up, and left the venue.

The results of the fourth round of the re-examination need to be submitted to the chief examiner for review after being approved by the examiner. If the examiner rejects it, it will be handed over to the emperor for decision.

In the first three rounds of re-examination, the answers all have certain standards, and there is not much controversy. In the fourth round of the retest, it is different, and there may be a hundred different results or answers for a hundred people. For the sake of prudence, the way of marking is different from the previous rounds. In addition, it is a two-in-one knockout round, and the slightest difference may determine the fate of a candidate's participation in the Xinglin Festival this time, and each examiner is particularly serious.

The time for the second part of the fourth round of the re-examination has arrived, and He Mengzhuo and Lu Mansheng are sitting in their places, waiting for the second round of the competition.

However, they waited for a long time, but the examiner did not arrive.

Lu Mansheng secretly said badly, could it be that she wrote something terrible?

The ancient prison of words is a terrible thing. Reckless remarks in the examination room are not exempt from responsibility. But when Lu Mansheng wrote this article, he was always thinking about proportion, and there should be no problems.

At this time, Lu Mansheng didn't know that one of her articles had already stirred up a thousand waves with one stone and caused an uproar.

There is a kind of thing called fate, and an article written improvisedly in the examination room can have this effect, which can only say that Lu Mansheng has a lot to do with the apricot forest event of the Dayao Dynasty.
