The lancet is named because it resembles a willow leaf, and the blade is as graceful as the curve of a willow leaf, with a blood groove, which has both the courage of a knife and the lightness of a sword. The lancet, also known as Wu Hook, is the Wu Hook in "Why don't men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures".

Yan Hao Wu hooked in his hand, the killing intent skyrocketed, the whole person seemed to be puffed up, even the sleeves suddenly swelled a little, his eyes showed a fierce light, his steps were slow and firm, although Xia Cun first asked him to kill Xiao Wu first and then kill Xia Xiang, he took one step at a time, and walked towards Xia Xiang first.

Xiao Wuting stepped forward and blocked in front of Xia Xiang, he would never allow Yan Hao to hurt Xia Xiang in the slightest. At this time, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao were already frightened, standing on the spot, unable to take a step. On the contrary, Shi Er was not afraid, and stood side by side with Xiao Wu, wanting to protect Xia Xiang and Zhouquan.

Xia Xiang was a little calmer at this time, his face changed, and then he returned to normal, took a step forward, separated Xiao Wu and Shi'er, and walked towards Yan Hao.

Yan Hao was secretly surprised, Xia Xiang was so calm to die, it really made him hesitate for a while, and the sword in his hand was a little sluggish.

At this time, there were already hundreds of people around, surrounding Xia Xiang and a few people in the middle, three layers inside and three layers outside, there were hundreds of people. Not only were there many onlookers around, but even in the restaurants and tea shops on both sides of the street, there were many good people who opened their windows and watched condescendingly.

On the second floor of a tea shop called Good Flowers, the window was wide open, and several people stood in front of the window, looking down at the scene downstairs. Since the location is directly opposite Xia Xiang, Xia Xiang's every move is extremely clear.

A woman's face is calm, her eyes are calm like water, staring at Xia Xiang intently, her eyes reveal a playful, interesting and expectant look, she is wearing a blue mist green shirt, a long skirt with scattered flowers and mist, if the shoulders are shaved into a waist, if the skin is like a condensed gas, if you are lan, the waist is slender, the neck is slender, the face is like spring water, the skin is like condensed fat, it is a shocking and glamorous appearance. The standard pebble face, with large eyes, a rounded chin that is not too pointed, and cheeks that show a perfect curve from top to bottom, has a stunning and thrilling beauty.

When she is quiet, she is like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and her action is like a weak willow supporting the wind, she is really a peerless beauty, no less beautiful than Cao Shuli, but Cao Shuli is more demure and dignified than her, but she has more alienating coldness than Cao Shuli.

"I'm afraid Xia Xiang won't be able to pass the pass......" The woman's gaze did not have the slightest hint of pity, nor did she gloat, calm as a rippling pool, she turned around and said, "What is Gong Wen's opinion?" ”

The old man shook his head slightly and sighed: "It's a pity, Xia Xiang is a rare talent, I thought he could be a high school scholar, but he didn't want to die on the street today, which is really suffocating." From the official's point of view, Xia Xiang, Zhang Hou, and Shen Bao are no less talented than the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, but they are also as talented and proud as the four of them. ”

The woman remained silent, took a light step, and took a step forward: "If Xia Xiang and the three of them pass the test today, who does Duke Wen think is more outstanding in the future?" ”

Gong Wen held his long beard in his hand and muttered for a moment: "Zhang Hou is the first, Shen Bao is second, and Xia Xiang is last." ”

"How so?" The woman didn't seem to agree with Gong Wen's conclusion, and her eyes fluttered on Xia Xiang, Zhang Hou, and Shen Bao.

"Fang Cai is in Taipingju, Zhang Hou hangs the inscription in the air, and his courage is extraordinary. When they just met King Jianlu on the narrow road, Zhang Hou and Shen Bao moved forward bravely and were not afraid of death, while Xia Xiang did not see anything outstanding whether he was in Taipingju or when he was in conflict with King Jian, but had the intention of retreating. With such a temperament, even if he is only eight buckets high, it is difficult to make a difference. The husband should do something and not do something, how can he succeed if he is bound by everything? Han'er, what do you think? Gong Wen's eyes were worried, "If Xia Xiang Fangcai and Zhang Hou and Shen Bao are as imposing as the two, they will not be able to see the king and be taken away by a few people, so they don't dare to make such a mistake." ”

If Shen Bao was here, he would definitely be surprised, because although he didn't know the woman called Han'er, he also had a relationship, and it was the person who talked to him through the window in the incense cart on the bank of the Hutuo River that day.

The woman smiled slightly, her smile was like melting ice and snow, and she was bright: "Did Duke Wen ever think that Xia Xiang would make a preemptive move?" ”

Gong Wen shook his head again and again: "With Xia Xiang's too indecisive character, it is impossible. What, Han'er, are you optimistic about Xia Xiang? ”

"Not for sure." The woman hesitated slightly, and then strengthened her confidence again, "I think that Xia Xiang is not incompetent, and he is not tied down in everything, but he likes to think twice before deciding." ”

"It's too arbitrary, Xia Xiang is so young, how can he have the temperament to plan and then act?" Gong Wen smiled, quite a kind of confidence that everything was under control, "If you don't believe it, let's see, the next thing, Xia Xiang will either be killed on the spot, or Zhang Hou will come forward to save him." ”

"Not necessarily. Zhang Hou seems to be courageous, but in fact, he is just a momentary bravery, and he only knows how to do things, and has no plans. Now that he has no clue, where will he save Xia Xiang? The woman insisted on her own opinion, and didn't want to argue with Duke Wen about this matter anymore, so she changed the topic without a trace, "I heard that the emperor is quite dissatisfied with Yang Di's Zhigong Ju, and then King Xing and King Jing jointly impeached Yang Di, this year's big competition, Yang Di's chief examiner should be replaced." As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Duke Wen should be the best candidate to succeed Master Yang in the emperor's mind. ”

The old man who was called Wen Gong by the woman was Wen Changju, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Wen Changju's face was quite complacent, but it was fleeting, and it returned to normal in a moment: "Bachelor Yang has only learned people, and this official sighs to himself, as for whether he has favoritism or malpractice, don't talk nonsense." If the emperor appoints this official to preside over this year's big competition, this official should be careful and dare not slack off. ”

The woman took the opportunity to say: "If only in terms of the temperament of the three of them, who will the Wen Guild let come out on top?" ”

"Naturally, Zhang Hou is the first, Shen Bao is the second, and Xia Xiang is the third." Wen Changju was surprised that Lian Ruohan was curious about the three of them, Lian Ruohan had seen too many grandchildren and brothers, and even the little prince was difficult to get into her eyes, why did he pay so much attention to Xia Xiang and the three of them today, and couldn't help asking, "Han'er, you just came back from Quanzhou, you don't take care of the business that is always there, why do you care so much about Xia Xiang and the three of you?" ”

Lian Ruohan smiled indifferently, although the cold meaning had not disappeared, but he also had bright eyes and bright teeth, like a willow spring breeze: "Speaking of which, the three of us and him really have their own origins." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wen Changju looked surprised, he knew very well that Lian Ruohan had gone to Quanzhou a few months ago, and had just returned to Beijing today, so he should have no intersection with Xia Xiang and the three of them, and he knew that Lian Ruohan was high, Mo said that Xia Xiang and the three of them were the students who rushed to take the exam, and they were the three of them in high school, and for her, they were just unknown people, how could the three of them have a relationship with her.

"It's a long story, but things in the world are quite interesting." Lian Ruohan's eyes were confused, remembering the past, and his mind was slightly turbulent, "Ling'er and I had nothing to do along the way, so we talked about some family things, and overheard some anecdotes......"

said that it was unintentional, but Lian Ruohan understood that with her strength that is always good all over the world, what news can be hidden from her ears, eyes and eyes? Although the Zhongshan Village incident was a small matter, and even the local officials were not alarmed, it had already reached her ears. She is extremely well-informed, and has learned that Li Dingshan escaped and Xia Xiang went to Beijing to take the exam. Xia Xiang's origin and life experience, she also knew a thing or two.

Zhang Houqi was a person, she had heard about it when she was in Quanzhou, and there was no intersection. However, he knows a lot about Zhang Hou's experience from childhood to adulthood and the second time he entered Beijing to take the exam, and he also knows a lot about Zhang Hou's personality.

As for Shen Bao, it was in Zhending Hutuo River that bravely rescued the old man who fell into the water, which made her look at Shen Bao differently. Of course, she originally wanted to inform Zhang Houyi and two about Lu Dongdong's hidden situation when she saw death and did not save her, but after thinking about it, she did not disclose it.

Lu Dongdong was originally a miscellaneous worker who often lived in Zhending Mansion in good times, and because he was good at gambling by nature, he owed a thousand gambling debts. With Lu Dongdong's income, a thousand yuan of gambling debts cannot be repaid for the rest of his life, and the debt collector chased him home, claiming that if Lu Dongdong did not repay the money, he would sell Lu Dongdong's youngest daughter. Lian Ruohan returned to Beijing from Quanzhou, happened to pass by Zhending, heard about the incident, and helped Lu Dongdong solve his urgent need.

But Lian Ruohan behaves in a good way and will not help Lu Dongdong in vain. Lu Dongdong has two ways to go, one is to sell his youngest daughter Lu Huanhuan to Lian Ruohan as a slave for life, and the other is that Lu Dongdong pays off his debts with death, and his debts are empty. Lu Dongdong thought about it again and again and decided to pay off his debts with death.

Lian Ruohan naturally wouldn't watch Lu Dongdong jump into the river and die, she and Ling'er watched from afar and didn't help, because they wanted to wait for Lu Dongdong to faint and die, and then let people rescue him, even if Lu Dongdong died once, he regained his life, and the previous debts were written off. It was also she who wanted Lu Dongdong to remember the pain of falling into the water, and change his ways from then on.

didn't want Shen Bao to pass by, and rescued Lu Dongdong seven times. Lian Ruohan has seen many persistent people, but it is the first time he has seen a stubborn scholar like Shen Bao. After talking to Shen Bao, she suddenly felt a love for talent in her heart. Good times are always all over the territory of Great Xia, and if you want to grow further, you must rely on the power of local governments. Needless to say, Shen Baocai only said that he was a person who could be trusted. With Shen Bao's talent, it is not a problem to be admitted to the Jinshi. After the Jinshi and the first, he will definitely serve as an official.

"What anecdote?" Wen Changju asked with interest, Xia Xiang and the three of them could make Lian Ruohan very interested, there must be something extraordinary, he also wanted to know more about the three of them from the side, but as soon as the words came out, the scene downstairs had changed greatly, and the change was so fast that he couldn't help but exclaim without opening his mouth, "Ah, how can this be?" ”

"That's how it should be!" Even Ruohan noticed the change in the scene downstairs, and nodded slightly, "In this way, this is the bearing that your Xia Xiang should have." ”

What is Xia Xiang's bearing, Xia Xiang himself can't say clearly, but what he knows is that at this moment, he can't retreat in the slightest, and he must face the difficulties, otherwise he will definitely die.

When Xia Xiang separated Xiao Wuhe, Shi Shiran appeared in front of Yan Hao, facing Yan Hao's cold and shining sword tip, he smiled calmly and said loudly: "The law of Great Xia has six crimes, one of which is murder. Second, fight and kill. Third, killing. Fourth, manslaughter. Fifth, manslaughter. Sixth, play and kill...... Captain Yan, if you kill me, which one? ”

Although Xiao Wu was worried about Xia Xiang's safety and didn't want to get out of the way, Xia Xiang couldn't help but push him aside, making him extremely depressed and angry, and quietly came two feet behind Xia Xiang, his body bowed slightly, and he was ready to jump in at any time to block the sword for Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang doesn't give orders, he can't use martial arts, but he thinks he can still do it with his body to block the sword.

Yan Hao was about to stab him with a sword, but his killing intent was awe-inspiring, believing that he could pierce Xia Xiang's heart with a single sword, killing Xia Xiang on the spot. Unexpectedly, when he was full of momentum and was about to stab down with a sword, Xia Xiang suddenly threw out a question, and his momentum couldn't help but stagnate.

"Six killings?" Yan Hao thought about it slightly, his face turned cold, where would he think that it was a trap that Xia Xiang deliberately dug for him, in his opinion, Xia Xiang was already a mortal person, and immediately said coldly, "If I kill you, I will naturally fight and kill." ”

Murder is premeditated murder, so homicide refers to unpremeditated murder, manslaughter is killing the wrong person, manslaughter is killing by mistake, drama killing is killing by mistake while playing, and fighting killing is killing in anger.

Xia Xiang clasped his fists and said to the surrounding crowd: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you can also hear the words of Captain Yan Hao Yan clearly, he did not kill in the line of duty, but fought and killed. The crime of fighting and killing, according to the laws of Great Xia, should be beheaded! After my death, when Yin of Shangjing Prefecture interrogated the case, he also asked all the fathers and villagers to take pity on the tragic fate of being beheaded on the street at a young age, and to testify for me. ”

"Good!"

"Lang Jun don't have to worry, even if I fight for this old life, I will uphold justice for you." A white-haired trader was filled with righteous indignation, and put the flat burden on his shoulders across his chest, looking like he wanted to rush over to protect Xia Xiangquan.

"Killing people on the street is clearly murder, where is fighting? Everyone, the blue sky and the white sun, Lang Lang Qiankun, do we have to see death and not save it? A young man who looked like a scholar but was born with a tiger's back stuck the fan in his hand in the collar behind his chest, and was about to rush over as soon as he rolled up his sleeves, "Daxia has been established for more than 100 years, and the four seas have risen to peace, and there are murders on the streets in Shangjing. ”

"Murder and fighting are both capital crimes, so what's the difference?" Another weak young man dressed as a scholar glanced at the tiger's back, "Is it time to chew the words?" Saving lives matters. ”

"Why don't you save it?" The tiger's back was irritated by the disdainful eyes of the weak scholar, and he pushed the other party, "Just rely on your small body, don't say that you have saved people, I'm afraid you won't even dare to let go of a fart." ”

"Who says I wouldn't dare?" The weak scholar blushed and strode in front of Xia Cunxian, "Seeing His Royal Highness, the prince has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and I hope that the prince will strictly control his subordinates, and don't kill people in the street, one is to insult the country, and the other is to damage the prince'......s name."

"Smack!"

Before he finished speaking, the weak scholar had already received a strong slap on his face, and he was suddenly half swollen. Secretary Wen was stunned for a moment, covered his right cheek with his hand, looked indignant, but said angrily: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, it is insulting to Sven, insulting Sven." ”

Where was Xia Cunxian in the mood to listen to his ramblings, he raised his leg and kicked the weak scholar to the ground: "Get out!" If you dare to talk more, I will kill you together. Yan Hao, if you don't do it yet, do you want this king to teach you how to kill people? ”

Yan Hao didn't want to do it, but Xia Xiang's words just now touched him, the laws of Daxia are very strict, although he has the support of the prince, but killing people on the street is a capital crime, not to mention that he was careless just now, fell into Xia Xiang's trap, and even admitted that he was guilty of fighting and killing on the street, which is really stupid. Now there are hundreds of onlookers, and in the future, when Yin tries the case in Beijing Mansion, as long as there is evidence, he will definitely be sentenced to beheading, and even Xia Cunxian can't save him.

Although the name of Shangjing Mansion Yin is held by the Three Princes Xingwang, Xingwang is the prince, and he does not ask about specific affairs, and all affairs are handled by Fu Zheng, the Shaoyin of Shangjing Mansion. The young Yin of Shangjing Prefecture is the deputy position of Yin of Shangjing Prefecture, similar to the current executive vice mayor, presiding over the overall work. Fu is upright, fair in judging cases, and does not depend on the Star King, only obeying the emperor's orders. If it falls into his hands, he will surely die.

A few years ago, Hai Zizhi, the son of Hai Renfu, who was the prime minister at the time, was arrested and imprisoned by Yin of Shangjing Prefecture for fighting in the street and manslaughter. Hai Renfu personally visited Fu Zheng, hoping that Fu Zheng would raise his noble hand and let Haizi live. Fu Zhi was unmoved, and later during the interrogation, it was confirmed that Hai Zizhi was charged with another crime, manslaughter was originally a crime of exile, but several crimes were punished together, and Fu was sentenced to Hai Zi's beheading.

Hou Hai Renfu cried in front of the emperor to plead for mercy, and the emperor was soft-hearted for a while, so he was lenient, and finally exiled Hai Zizhi to Lingnan. Hai Zizhi could not bear the dampness of Lingnan, and died of illness soon after arriving in Lingnan. Hai Renfu lost his beloved son and dealt with the hatred to the bone. Later, Hai Renfu instructed Yushi to impeach Fu Zhi, and Fu Zhi was exiled to Hainan.

In Bactria, exile in Lingnan was a great sin, and exile in Hainan was a felony second only to capital crimes. Hai Renfu's original intention was to let Fu Zhi die in Hainan, but he didn't want Fu Cheng to be strong and unharmed, so he was recalled a few years later and served as the governor of Shangjing again.

is such an upright person, Yan Hao doesn't want to fall into his hands. He thought with hatred in his heart, Xia Xiang was so cunning, let him jump into the trap in public, and now it was too late to regret it, what should I do?
