After killing people, seeing that people had finished pouring the ground, and raised the wooden threshold so that the blood and water on the ground could flow into the ditch outside the house under the sweeping, Hua Qi walked down and patted a few people who did not join the work, but stood there like a clay carved wood sculpture on the shoulders of the royal attendants, Shi Shiran came out of the judicial hall.

When he went straight to the Qianqing Palace to ask for a meeting, the official uniform that had been splashed with blood had already been stripped off and replaced with a civilian dress that looked very abrupt in the palace.

The news of his murder in the judicial and criminal office has not yet had time to spread in the palace...... Because most of the compartment over there was replaced by someone he had personally excavated and taught to guard the door, it was impossible for someone to put on wings and fly out, so although the people who came in and out of the Qianqing Palace saw him dressed casually, most of them didn't care too much.

It's just that when Chen Yongshou, who came out in person, came to him, he couldn't help but sniff lightly, and then frowned and asked, "Hua Qiye, what kind of smell do you have?" ”

"What smell? The smell of blood, of course. Hua Qi smiled, and when he saw Chen Yongshou's face suddenly froze there, he quipped, "It's just that he killed a few people, why is Gonggong Chen so cowardly?" ”

What does this have to do with cowardice, after you kill someone, you don't clean your body and come to face the saint? And, I remember that you don't seem to have been out of the palace today, right? Where did you kill someone in the big night? Although Chen Yongshou knew that the person in front of him could enter and leave the Qianqing Palace at any time, as if it was not as simple as the family general who had repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the Zhao State Mansion, after hearing that simple answer, he couldn't help but go crazy. However, they didn't mean to go back to bathe and change clothes, and the emperor summoned him directly, so he didn't have much to say.

Hard-headed to bring people into the Dongnuan Pavilion, he glanced at the ranking list that was piled up like a hill next to him, and felt that one head and two big, where did he dare to stay more, seeing that the emperor had no orders, he immediately tiptoed out. As soon as he opened the curtain and stepped out of the door, he heard the emperor's voice coming from inside the door.

"Is this all done? Are there any of those guys who disagree with you? ”

"Kill five, and they won't dare to disagree."

Chen Yongshou was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly walked quickly. And Hua Qi inside heard the footsteps, and he saw the emperor's inattentive face, clearly not caring about the people he killed, so he put away his smile and reported truthfully: "It's all a few guys who have confirmed that they are innocent." Chu Kuan provided some evidence, and I also collected some before, and after killing it, I will add new people. ”

"Well, since I've handed over these things to you, you can just let them go." The emperor casually unfolded a scroll of paper, looked at the names that he had never heard of at all, but still looked at the scores of each question very carefully, and then said unhurriedly, "The reputation of the imperial attendant has always been circulated in private, and after being falsely spread, it will inevitably be demonized." ”

"Since you take over, then stand on the bright side. Choose two young but safe, apprentices don't matter, give Saburo and Shiro as sparring partners, and let them practice this body solidly. Then, leave a few who occasionally do dirty things, and the others go the way open. For example, if you look at the ranking list that Zhang Shou made for me, dozens of paper rolls, all of which are posted, require a lot of manpower. ”

"Seeing this, those prisoners of the Guozijian may be annoyed and angry and tear things off, so your first task now is to mobilize a group of competent people, and I hope that tomorrow morning, these ranking lists will appear on the eight-character wall at the entrance of the Guozijian. Remember, be optimistic, and don't let some angry people tear up the list. Also, I don't care if you're beating gongs and drums, or other ways, in short, attract enough people to go there and watch the excitement. ”

"Moreover, it is necessary to attract as many people as possible who are going to the capital to take the exam!"

"Your Majesty, your requirements are really high, it's no problem to post the ranking list, but if you want to attract people to see the excitement, I really want to break my head." Hua Qi frowned as if he was in a headache, and then asked as if he was purely curious, "By the way, how many East Palace attendants will be selected in this list in the end?" ”

"Originally, I said ten, but now I look at the rankings and scores, as well as the answer sheets brought by Liu Zhiyuan, Guozijian Six Halls take the top five - they don't have to feel any injustice, although it is not as if the six halls of rain and dew are accounted for, but the Reckless Hall also accounts for two, and the remaining three halls have one class, and the other two have a clean sheet, but they also deserve it."

The emperor sighed as if he hated iron and steel, and then gently tapped the handrail with his fingers: "Take the top two in the middle of the mountain, although Shiwen is a mess, but there are actually two policies on agriculture that are really remarkable, and they can be called unexpected surprises." ”

With the emperor's order, Hua Qi immediately knew that tomorrow when the ranking list was posted, it would probably cause an uproar.

So, when he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, he returned to the Judicial Punishment Office, and saw that a large number of people were still working hard to water and wipe the floor, which was really in full swing, and he did not have the consciousness of killing people everywhere to cause such a big trouble, but he clapped his hands gently.

"After you finish your work, go back and pack up, and go out with me at night, the emperor has an order, an urgent task."

The so-called urgent mission is something that the imperial attendants have heard even if they haven't done it. After all, in the past, when they were under the supervision of the celebrity, or when they were assigned to the Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, or Qingning Palace, it was inevitable that there would be one or two times when they did certain things.

The difference is that most of the time the emperor is just a whim, he wants to leave the palace, he wants to drive to a certain mansion at night to see a certain minister; The queen mother is generally sent by the imperial attendant as an ordinary chamberlain, and the so-called urgent task is sometimes just to go to the Qianqing Palace to pass a word, and go to a minister outside the palace to bring a message.

In comparison, it is Kunning Palace that is the most dangerous. In the past 20 years, everyone has watched the queen's temperament become more and more extreme, and the methods are becoming more and more vicious, in the palace because there is still the queen mother watching, the emperor is pressing, so he can't do anything, but if someone in the queen's family enters the palace and cries about how to be outside, then most of the time, the royal attendants who work in Kunning Palace will be bitter.

Because they are the knives in the hands of the queen, although it is not often done to kill people, after all, it is necessary to take into account the environment and public opinion of the capital, but it is really commonplace to break a leg and break an arm!

Now that the top boss has just taken office, the emperor has sent a task, and no one dares to slack off at this time to give the boss a little color, and the person who dares is dead. Therefore, everyone complained in their hearts while urgently continuing to clean the public hall. It was easy to wait until there was no blood on the ground, and the smell of blood gradually dissipated because the door was open, and then they hurried back to the straight room.

By the time a large number of people had cleaned themselves up and reappeared in the courtyard in front of the Judicial Punishment Office, it was already late at night. More than 30 people stood in the wind, although they were all dressed in black clothes, but for a short time, they still only felt cold to the bone.

Fortunately, Hua Qi didn't wait for them in the wind and land, and it didn't take long for him to appear, but he ordered everyone to leave without saying a word. It wasn't until a group of people walked silently, first out of Xuanwu Gate, and then out of Bei'an Gate, that when they saw a carriage parked in the carriage over there, and there were a few young Tsing Yi handymen next to the carriage, they suddenly tensed up.

Could it be that you want to escort a nobleman...... Could it even be that the emperor left the palace? Where are you going this big night? Did he go to a minister's house for a night talk, or did the emperor meet some confidante outside the palace?

Although the latter possibility is relatively low, after all, the emperor is not so ridiculous, but now that the queen has become a deposed queen, there are only two concubines left in the palace, and there is already a prince in the East Palace, even the queen mother doesn't care much about the emperor's private affairs!

Although there were many infinite doubts in their hearts, no one dared to ask a word more, and for a while, according to Hua Qi's instructions, those who got on the horse got on the horse, and those who walked with the car walked with the car, carefully escorting the carriage forward. When the carriage finally stopped, people who were familiar with the terrain suddenly realized that this was actually outside the Guozijian.

And immediately after, they saw that Hua Qi actually got off the horse and came to the side of the carriage, stretched out his hand to open the door. Because this is because of the Guozijian, everyone thought that the people who got off the car were the emperors who suddenly left the palace on a whim to tour the Guozijian at night, but when Hua Qi opened the door, he looked straight at them.

"What are you doing? Come and move things! ”

Move...... Moving things? A large group of royal attendants were simply stupid. Such an ordinary carriage has always been a necessity for the emperor to travel in micro-service, and in the past, they did not carefully serve as servants to escort out of the palace with the Rui Cavalry Battalion, but now listening to Hua Qi's tone, it is not the emperor in the car, but what is it? The urgent task in the middle of the night turned out to be moving things?

It wasn't until the first person was stunned for a long time that he hurriedly went up to move the things out of the carriage, and the others hurriedly rolled up their sleeves to join.

However, what I thought was a heavy object was a roll of light and fluttering yellow paper, and everyone's intention to show off their strength in front of the new boss was completely frustrated, and they couldn't help but think about it crankily.

The emperor seems to have been dissatisfied with the Guozijian for a long time, otherwise he would not have come in person before, and issued an order to rectify the Guozijian, and also to upgrade the priest and wine priest and other scholars, which also had a little effect at first, but after the disputes, Jiuzhangtang and Banshan Hall were directly separated from Guozijian, and this supreme school seemed to have become the target of public criticism again.

Now in the middle of the night, the emperor suddenly sent these imperial servants on an urgent mission, could it be that it was to post a large number of unfavorable posters that were unfavorable to those scholars of the Guozijian?

Sure enough, under the gaze of everyone's unconcealable curiosity and doubt, Hua Qi said lightly: "The order is marked on this yellow list, according to the number, post it on the wall, stick it next to each other, don't be dumbfounded when you can't look back and post it." This is all seen by the emperor, you do your work carefully, whoever makes a mistake will go back and receive the punishment yourself! ”

Seeing that twenty or thirty people had moved all the paper rolls down, and the buckets of paste used for pasting were also divided, but then one person looked at the blank wall and began to be stunned, Hua Qi couldn't help but scolded angrily: "Calculate the width of the paper roll, measure the length of this wall with steps, and then mark the position with ink lines, and finally paste, this also wants me to teach you?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and went to work separately. Faced with this scene, Hua Qi snorted angrily: "A group of guys who only know how to fight and kill, this is really all brains beaten into a pulp by swords!" ”

He said it easily, but he thought in his heart that the imperial court or the official office had never pasted such a large number of notices...... Therefore, after Zhang Shou proposed the big killer of all rankings, he had already calculated the length and height of the eight-character walls on both sides of Guozijian, and even when preparing the paper roll, he estimated the width and length, and the size of the table drawn by the ink line was also calculated.

Therefore, he was a supervisor with his hands in his hands, but he thought of it in his heart with bad taste, how the inmates of the Guozi Prison would react when they saw this gift when they came to class tomorrow.

Of course, he did not forget the task given to him by the emperor, which was to attract people...... Especially when it comes to raising people's attention to this matter. However, the way of shouting all over the street is undoubtedly very uncreative, and the personnel changes of the previous celebrant supervisor are doing this. But if you break people into pieces and send them out all over the streets to spread this ranking list, it will attract people to see it......

This seems to be a bit deliberate, or else, try it when the sword goes sideways?

Hua Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then glanced at a group of royal servants who were working in full swing, and he quietly retreated into the night.

Zhaoren Hall Xinuan Pavilion, tonight because of the three princes holding candles to calculate the problem, so the four princes can only sleep alone, when he felt that someone was pushing himself, he couldn't help but get up and have a seizure, and he raised his arm and hit it. In the past, the elderly palace people who served in this Zhaoren Hall had long been accustomed to his little problem, and they would easily grab his hands and feet, and then drag him up.

However, today, the fourth prince suddenly felt a cold touch coming from his neck, and subconsciously let out a miserable scream, but the sound that reached his throat could not come out. His drowsiness was all gone, and he opened his eyes suddenly, and his face was vaguely shaking before he met, and his mouth was covered by a big hand, and his horror was gone.

But the next moment, he heard a soft voice: "Fourth Prince, it's me, tomorrow there is a small task that can help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Zhang, can you come forward to help?" ”

Hey? The fourth prince's eyes widened suddenly, and it was not easy to see that the person in front of him was often dangling in front of his father and emperor - of course, he also often wandered around the palace, Hua Qi, who was once from the Zhao State Mansion, but was now in charge of teaching him and the third brother martial arts. He remembered that he was Ah Liu's master, and he seemed to be acting very specially, so after thinking about it, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

But the other party suddenly sneaked in in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little when he said this kind of thing. When Hua Qi quietly said something in his ear, the bear child who was just muttering immediately raised his eyebrows, not to mention the joy. Without much hesitation, he immediately nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, this little thing is all wrapped up in me!" ”

He believed that even if the third brother had become more and more strict with him recently, he would definitely agree to him this time!
