He immediately had a flash of inspiration - now His Majesty trusts not only the Jinyiwei family, but also the yamen of Dongchang, so it is better to serve them......

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense - after all, Dongchang was formed by the emperor's henchmen and eunuchs, and it was still short of excellent manpower just after its establishment, and people like him who were born noble, had deep roots in Jinyiwei, and had talents, even if they were a little disabled, they should be welcome, not to mention, he also had such an amazing secret to offer--At that time, I am afraid that Qingyun will be just around the corner!

On the Dongchang side, Admiral Eunuch An Su is a popular person next to the emperor, he doesn't know him, but it is said that there is a military advisor surnamed Xue who was born in a literati, and this person can pay a visit to one or two.

Thinking of the smugness, Wang Shuxuan's face showed joy, and he hurriedly left on crutches, because of the chaos at the door, no one noticed the person who was in a hurry.

The sky is gradually brightening, and even the waterside of the Qinhuai River has lost its usual fat incense lamp, but replaced it with a horse-drawn carriage parked, and many people have eaten the last hot breakfast in the car, and then lifted the examination basket and walked to the gate of the Gongyuan, waiting for the inspection.

Jing Yu and Guangren came to the alley not far from the Gongyuan early, occupying a favorable position, and the two chatted while using breakfast on the tea stove, and the cool breeze in the early morning did not feel very hot.

Originally, it would have been called Chunqiu, and it should not have been opened in early summer, but at the beginning of this year, there was a series of sensational cases of rebels, and in the end, even the commander of the Jinyi Guard was killed, and it is said that the prince and the king of Han were involved. Under the repeated commotion, Jinshang didn't have the heart to take care of this imperial examination, and no one dared to mention it when officials of all sizes trembled. So it dragged on all the way to the present.

On such a hot day, the room in the Gongyuan is so narrow, I am afraid that someone will have to suffer from heat stroke, but fortunately, the palace has sent an edict to give the candidates a lot of ice basins, and finally solved the urgent need.

"Have you heard, this is the clever words of the princess Wang Guifei who persuaded the saint. It's not easy to say that these young people are not easy, so this is the ice basin that was sent. ”

Hirohito is about to enter the stadium in order to ease the tension. also began to talk about gossip, "It is said that this princess is a Goryeo tribute girl, and she is gentle and kind by nature, so the officials did not impeach." Speaking of which, this kind of thing can be regarded as political interference, right? ”

Jing Yu didn't raise his head. Somehow, he was a little uneasy, he rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Wang Guifei is from Suzhou, because her mother has Korean ancestry, she has that accent, so some people often make mistakes with false rumors. ”

"I see!"

Guangren admired it, and then remembered his counselor's affairs in the East Factory, and said with a smile: "I forgot, of course it is clear that Brother Shi is working in the East Factory." ”

It was still early for him to see the time. He persuaded again: "Brother Shi, don't blame me for being too talkative-after all, you and I are from the imperial examination, and Dongchang is presided over by the eunuch temple after all." You are immersed in it all day long, it is inevitable that your reputation will be damaged, it is better to keep improving after the exam, and then enter the Hanlin Academy, this is a broad road! ”

Jing Yu listened with a smile, and was about to answer, when suddenly someone ran to him panting, he glanced at the clothes and knew that it was Dongchang's subordinates, and shouted in a low voice: "Why are you in such a hurry, what happened?" ”

"Mr. Xue, there is a person who came to our East Factory to see you......"

The man's eyes flickered, and he leaned into his ear and said a few words, which suddenly made Jing Yu's face change, and Guangren, who was sitting next to him, saw it clearly, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised - he had known Xue Yu for so long, and he had never seen him change his face like this, it seemed that something really happened!

"You stabilize him first and let him go to this address......"

Xue Yu saw that there was no paper at hand, so he whispered two words in the man's ear, and then asked him to leave, but he was even more unsettled, listening to the sound of beating on the street, his brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, and he finally made up his mind: "There is still more than half an hour before leaving the exam, I have to leave in advance!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and untied the reins of the carriage, rode a horse and hurried away, and Guangren behind him reacted and shouted anxiously behind him: "Brother Shi! Don't go, brother! ”

Seeing that he was far away, Guangren stomped his feet and sighed, "There isn't much time left, it would be bad if you were late!" ”

***

The rising sun gradually revealed its golden light in the sky, and in front of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, the doorman who had been guarding all night yawned and asked lazily next to him: "It's almost there." ”

It was about to be the time for the shift change, and he shuttled left and right, although his standing posture was still straight, but he was a little absent-minded.

The flow of people on the street began to sparsely sparse, after all, this is the place where the yamen is concentrated, and the little officials did not dare to arrive late, although it was only a moment in the morning, most of them had already arrived at work.

Suddenly, he saw a ** in the distance, staggering and limping towards this side.

At first he didn't care, but gradually, the man moved with difficulty, getting closer and closer, but his posture became more and more strange, and he almost fell to the ground—and the next moment, the doorman's eyes widened in surprise: there was a lot of blood spurting out of the man's body!

He jumped to his feet, kicked the man next to him hard, and hissed, "Something's wrong!" ”

The two of them rushed over in a panic, only to find that the man had fallen to the ground, the wound on his chest was deep and the white bones were faintly visible, and the blood had stained the entire bluestone slab!

The felt hat on the man's head fell, and the face of the missing eyeball was covered with scars, looking hideous and terrifying, but barely recognizable from his original appearance.

"This, isn't this the original big celebrity Wang Shuxuan Baihu?"

One of them recognized it and said in a trembling voice.

"He used to be a very optimistic candidate from above, but then there was an accident within our Jinyi Guard, and I heard that he had a crippled leg......"

He was about to babble, but the other shouted, "He's still angry, go and call someone!" ”

The next moment, he was suddenly grabbed by Wang Shuxuan's wrist, "Red, red note...... Live ......"

He said with difficulty, and the blood mixed with the fragments of flesh he coughed up, sticking to the doorman's hand, almost scaring the young boy into silly.

He didn't have the strength to speak anymore, he stretched out his finger in despair, pointed to the northeast direction tremblingly, and finally closed his eyes and stopped breathing!

"He, he's dead!"

The doorman's body trembled, listening to the footsteps behind him, the whole person was stunned, but he was pushed away by Li Sheng, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Seeing the corpse in front of him, his eyes flashed, "Actually killing people in front of our Jinyi guard, what a big boldness!" ”

****

In the autopsy room, Guangsheng looked at the flat corpse, his eyes narrowed slightly, "The person was not killed at the door of our Jinyi Guard, the murder scene is some distance away from here." (To be continued......)
