"You are a dog's mouth......" Lian Shengfang was about to take a sip, suddenly realized his identity, and hurriedly covered his mouth, Yu Shizhao's eyes flashed with a playful light: "Why didn't you say it?" ”

"Ah, don't blame the adults, the little woman is impulsive."

"Hmph, where did you say you were a little girl?" Yu Shizhao looked her up and down with a smile, and his gaze fixed on her somewhere: "It's also small." ”

Liansheng suddenly realized what he was talking about, blushed, turned his head and left.

"Hey, aren't you afraid that the Gu family will stumble on your brother?"

Yu Shizhao took a few steps to catch up and asked.

"If you want to stumble and try to do tricks and feet in the autumn, we can't prevent it, anyway, the monk book has already been faced, and the end of this matter is either a fish death or a broken net, I don't want to die." Liansheng stabilized his mind and said slowly, "Thank you for your help just now, you helped me again." “

"And when are you going to help me?"

"Soon, as long as Fang Sheng can pass the exam, he will be qualified to take the exam." Lian Sheng looked straight at him: "Lord Yu, you will help me, right?" ”

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes." Lian Sheng clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and finally said the secret in his heart: "With the Yang family's waiting for generations, and the lives of my brother's family, I think you will definitely help me." ”

"How do you know?" Yu Shizhao didn't expect that Liansheng had discovered the secret of the Yang family, but this woman knew the secret but could always hide it in her heart, and her scheming should not be underestimated.

"The Yang family has been catching fast for generations, I found a little clue from the family letters that have been passed down from generation to generation to record the case, some cases are not like a county head catcher can do, until later, after I saw Ma Zhutou, I figured it out, Jin Yiwei's secret agent in the place is a person with a similar background to a fast catcher like Ma Zhutou, and I guessed correctly."

"Clever, so it's not a lie for me to say that you are my Jinyiwei's subordinate."

"This identity is my talisman now, and Liansheng is here to thank you."

Liansheng said blessed.

"Go and prepare for your brother, my lord, I promise him that he is safe this time." Yu Shizhao looked at the empty alley, his eyes were cold: "I, the biggest problem is to protect my shortcomings, and those who move my brocade clothes will have to bear the price." ”

At dawn the next day, Liansheng and Fangsheng got into the hired carriage, Liansheng carefully checked the items carried by Fangsheng, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all in the bookcase, and the dry food in the food box was also passed through, and carefully advised: "Be careful, don't leave your room, and be careful when you go to the east." Fang Sheng nodded in response: "Sister, don't worry, I'll pay attention, Gu Lianyong and that Chen, take the exam with me, I will be careful to watch out for them." ”

The surroundings were very quiet, except for the tribute students who were rushing to take the exam, who were doing small businesses on the street, and only got up to remove the door panels. At this moment, listening to the rapid sound of horses' hooves, Liansheng couldn't help but grab Fangsheng's arm, she just panicked for no reason, maybe it was because it was too quiet outside, and the sound of horses' hooves was too crisp and too urgent?

At this moment, I heard the driver exclaim, "Oh my God! And then there was "Rack, rack, you brute hurry up, turn around!" Lian Sheng hurriedly lifted the curtain to look, and when he looked up, he saw a fast horse at the end of the street running straight towards him, there was no one on the horse, and there was no one else on the street, the black horse was almost drowned in the pale gray dawn, only the sound of the horse's hooves was rapid: da. Liansheng was shocked and shouted, "Fangsheng, quick, jump down, jump down first." ”

The carriage didn't go very fast, and if you were unlucky enough to jump at the moment, you would sprain your foot at best, and if such a crazy galloping horse were to crash into it, it was not known what would happen.

Fang Sheng reacted quickly, hurriedly picked up the bookcase, but it was too late, seeing that the horse had rushed in front of him, the driver who was driving the car was so frightened that he jumped out of the car, and even crawled to the side of the road. At this moment, there was a mournful neighing of horses outside, and Fang Sheng shouted: "Sister, it's okay, it's the second master!" Liansheng hurriedly tore down the curtain, but saw the horse fall on the side of the road, screaming sadly, and the coachman got up not far away in shock, and the person standing in front of the car, caressing his chest and panting slightly, was Na Qianer.

Liansheng's eyes were slightly hot, if he hadn't come in a hurry, it didn't matter if he was injured, I'm afraid Fang Sheng wouldn't be able to enter the Tribute Courtyard.

"The adult ordered the villain to protect the girl, and the rescue was too late."

"Second brother, thank you so much."

Liansheng called him Second Brother Qian, and Qianer's heart softened inexplicably, jumped into the car, and took out his waist card from his arms and shook it: "Your carriage was requisitioned by Jinyiwei." ”

The coachman was frightened, but when he heard that the carriage was being requisitioned, he was frightened and was about to stop it, but Qianer had already shaken the reins and drove the carriage away.

Expropriation? It's hard for him to come up with such an idea. Lian Sheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile, clasped Fang Sheng's hand and whispered: "Don't think about anything, the people hiding in the shadows just want to see our jokes, and see who is the one who laughs to the end?" Fang Sheng nodded emphatically, and his eyes turned to the east, which was gradually brightening.

At the same time, Yu Shizhao, who had just gotten up, took a towel from the maid to wipe his face, and a brocade guard hurriedly walked in and respectfully reported: "Miss Gu's carriage was shocked by the horse, but fortunately, Qian'er arrived in time. ”

"Oh? Gu family? ”

Yu Shizhao thought that the Gu family would not be so stupid, and engaging in this kind of trick during the autumn test was simply handing the handle to others.

"I don't know who did it."

"Then check again, and you must find out who did it."

Yu Shizhao threw the towel in the large copper basin, the maid wrung it out and handed it to him again, he waved his hand and ordered people to retreat.

He glanced back at the brocade guard: "Go, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

"The subordinates retired,"

Yu Shizhao pushed the door and walked out, looked at the half-round red sun that had just risen, and said to himself: "This autumn test is unusual." ”

The carriage stopped not far from the Gongyuan, and the Liansheng sisters and brothers got into the car, and there was already a queue at the door, and there were soldiers in charge of checking next to them. Lian Sheng handed the food box to Fang Sheng and nodded at him, and the two sisters and brothers looked at him with extraordinary determination. Fang Sheng saw Gu Lianyong and Chen Huan standing in the other team, looking at him with disgust, but there was no uneasiness or panic, Fang Sheng said in his heart that they didn't do it! Who is trying to harm me? At this time, the sun had completely risen, and the golden sunlight gilded the Gongyuan in front of him with a brilliant gold edge, Fang Sheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, carried the food box in one hand, and clenched his fist with the other. Hope is just in these three days, for the sake of his sister and his deceased mother, he must not lose.

For two whole days, Liansheng waited outside the Tribute Courtyard for a while. The Gongyuan was surrounded by soldiers, and the candidates who were found to have cheated were dragged out by the soldiers, describing them as wolves, paralyzed, and crying with tears in their noses: "My lord, my lord, my lord, I have no plagiarism, no plagiarism." ”

The wails that echoed in front of the lotus pond and the shining weapons of the soldiers added a bit of mystery to the Gongyuan.

On the afternoon of the third day, the door of the Gongyuan opened, first an officer walked out with a group of soldiers, and then there were candidates with different faces, all of them were vague in their footsteps, some people were still talking helplessly, and the soldiers next to them pushed: "Hurry up, hurry up, leave quickly." ”

Liansheng crossed his feet, looking for Fang Sheng's figure in the crowd, and finally saw him walk out of the tribute courtyard, Lian Sheng ran over in surprise and took the food box in his hand, Fang Sheng's face was pale, and he looked at Lian Sheng and smiled faintly: "Sister." ”

"Let's go, let's go back to the inn first."

At that moment, an officer rushed out of the courtyard and shouted: "No one is allowed to leave!" Meet at the Tribute Temple! ”

"My lord, my lord, what's going on, my lord!"

The soldiers received the order to stop the students who walked out and pushed them back, the crowd instantly became chaotic, Liansheng held Fangsheng's hand tightly, worried that he would be squeezed by, the sisters and brothers stood near the door, and were soon coerced by the people who squeezed over and retreated into the tribute courtyard, and then the big wave of people were pushed and driven in, among them there were some family members who picked up people, the gate of the tribute courtyard was closed heavily, Liansheng looked around, the officer was blue face, it seemed that something big had happened.

I heard him shout loudly: "Every thirty people stand in a row to open the bookcases and food boxes, waiting for inspection!" Don't talk, don't move! The students and their families were in a mess, a mess, the officer shouted again, no one listened, he pulled out his sword with a bang, the knife flashed, and the angry crowd instantly quieted down.

"Thirty people line up to open your bookcases and food boxes!"

The officer looked in his twenties with a grim expression, and everyone hurriedly and carefully lined up, and the general motioned for the soldiers to begin checking the candidates' belongings.

"How can there be a woman?" The general frowned at Liansheng standing behind Fang Sheng at a glance.

"Tell you, it's the candidate's family, there were too many people just now, and they squeezed in."

The officer nodded, his eyes stern and looking around, watching the soldiers check one by one.

What's going on? Liansheng stood there, looking at the soldiers as if they were facing a great enemy, she looked around, there was such a big commotion, why didn't the chief examiner show up? Lian Sheng tried to tiptoe to look into the courtyard inside, but was spotted by the officer: "You, it's you!" What are you looking around there? ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Liansheng.

"My lord, the little woman's younger brother is thin, and he finally survived three days, but he didn't let anyone go home, and the little woman was anxious to see what time it was."

Lian Sheng pretended to be honest and well-behaved, and said softly.

"Hmph, I'll talk about it after the check."

"Why don't you let us go home and check it out?" Gu Lianyong held himself to be a scholar, and he didn't take this officer in his eyes at all.

"I'll talk about it after I've checked it." The officer was very polite, and replied coldly.

"Adults, I don't know what happened, the students just finished the exam, and they are really scared."

Some of the candidates also shouted.

"Huh, what are you yelling about? If the student is killed, whoever shouts loudly will be suspected! The officer shouted, and Liansheng was stunned when he heard this: Master Xuezheng? Isn't that the person who had a conflict with Chen Huan on Flower Street the day before yesterday?

She hurriedly looked for Chen Huan's figure in the crowd, looked around, and Lian Sheng was shocked: Chen Huan was not in this courtyard.

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over with a frightened face: "Tell your lord, another corpse has been found!" ”

The officer asked angrily, "Who is it?" ”

"Xi'an Mansion Gongsheng Chen Huan!"

"Ahh Brother Huan Brother Huan Brother! Gu Lianyong couldn't help but shout when he heard this, and the officer glared at him: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Chen Huan's cousin Gu Lianyong." Gu Lianyong walked up to the officer from the crowd and whispered, "Father, Gu Shangshu." ”

The officer nodded: "Since it's your cousin, now follow me to identify the body." ”

"My lord! That pair of siblings is suspicious! Gu Lianyong suddenly turned around and pointed at Liansheng, a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
