For the name You Li, Chen Huiquan has no memory at all. Not only that, he no longer remembered what butterfly blue was, and even, he forgot why he wanted to participate in this selection...... Chen Hui's memory can only be described as 'a thousand miles of collapse'.

Song Yang always maintained a relaxed smile on his face, ate with Chen Hui outside, returned to the post house together, and sat in the other party's room for a while before retiring, after returning to his room, he took out a silver ticket and handed it to Xiao Jiu: "Help me do one thing, find a famous painter in the city to draw three pictures, and you can't sign the money." The sooner the better. ”

Just before saying goodbye, Chen Hui told him to paint seriously. The great grandmaster's expression was serious and earnest, Song Yang couldn't bear to brush his mind, and he didn't know what kind of painting he wanted, so he spent a lot of money to ask the famous teacher for painting.

Xiao Jiu didn't ask much, nodded and put away the silver ticket.

It was night, Song Yang was sullen, sitting in front of the lamp with all his strength, trying to come up with a treatment method that could delay Chen's condition...... For the next two whole days, he worked hard, but his manpower was extremely poor, and some of his wishes could never be attained.

At this time, the will of the imperial court was finally promulgated, and the real general election of the talents of Nanli was scheduled to be held on the second day of the second month of February, when the dragon raised its head. The selection of the Golden Palace is presided over by the emperor himself, and all the important ministers of the court will attend, and the rules of the selection are quite similar to the previous 'sea audition', and many talents will perform one by one, but at that time, the candidates for the first product will not be directly selected, and the results will be announced after five days and after Feng Long and the important ministers have consulted.

At the same time, the eunuch who came to announce the decree also gave the order of appearance that had been prepared, and Song Yang happened to be the last...... I don't know if it's a coincidence, the three brothers of the Hong family are the second-to-last.

As soon as the news moved, everyone in the inn was excited, and Song Yang was no exception. For the next selection, he has already thought of the topic, but there are still many things to consider in the details. As a result, he temporarily changed his mind and shifted his energy from Chen Hui to the selection.

Xiao Jiu was very well-behaved, not only taking care of Song Yang carefully, but also bluffing his face, not allowing others to disturb Song Yang, so as not to delay the master's homework. And so two more days passed, on the thirteenth day of the first month. At lunch, Song Yang relaxed his mind and asked Xiao Jiu: "What are the interesting stories recently, let's hear about them." ”

Xiao Jiu was born a gossip surname, no matter what she did, she had to inquire clearly before she gave up. Anyone who likes to inquire also likes to 'spread', and when he heard Song Yang ask, Xiao Jiu immediately came to his senses: "There is nothing special about the anecdotes, but there is a 'shocking news', which has recently caused a stir in the Beijing Division, and even the Emperor Yanjing is very angry, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Song Yang stretched out his chopsticks to add a piece of chicken to her, and said with a smile: "Say, if it sounds good, I'll give you another chicken leg." ”

Xiao Jiu put the chicken in his mouth with a smile and pretended to sigh: "It's sweet, it's sweet!" The meat that Childe brought over is so delicious that it can't be ......."

The 'shocking news' in Phoenix City comes from a yamen in the Beijing Division: the Armillary Sphere Supervisor.

In addition, this yamen is also responsible for inspecting feng shui, predicting bad luck, divining national fortune and many other metaphysical things, which is regarded as a 'professional and technical department', and has no actual power and power. In the back garden of the armillary sphere supervisor, the senior officials who are proficient in Kanyu have set up a small feng shui array through rockeries, pools, and landscape plants, and the center of the array protects the clothes and crown shrine of the emperor who founded the country of Nanli, which can be regarded as a means of praying for the blessing of the country and the prosperity of the country.

The source of the 'shock' is the earthquake on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The earthquake was not severe, Phoenix City was almost undamaged, and the armillary sphere supervisor was fine at the time, but it was somewhat affected, just three days ago, the soil in front of the Clothed Shrine suddenly collapsed, revealing the bones of a dead man. It was originally an absolutely confidential matter, but I don't know which link went wrong, so that the news entered the market, and it immediately caused an uproar.

The feng shui array to pray for the blessing of the country collapsed into a deep pit, exposing the bones, and it was also caused by an earthquake in Chinese New Year's Eve...... Rumors soared, and eventually public opinion was formed, which regarded the incident as a 'bad omen for the loss of the country'.

The criminal department that intervened in the adjustment soon discovered that the skeleton had rotted its flesh and skin, but it had not been buried in the ground for a long time, at best, five or six years, and there were still clear knife marks on the deceased's ribs. This time things have changed, and the so-called bad omen of losing the country is actually a murder case of murder and burial of corpses exposed by chance.

As long as the facts of the case are made public, it will naturally be able to calm down the rumors and regain the people's minds. However, the premise is that the case must be solved first, and the cadres of the criminal department have already been mobilized in order to investigate the case as soon as possible. However, there has been no movement yet, and the most troublesome point is that the body has turned into bones, and nothing has been found except that the person is a man, and the deceased cannot be identified.

Who died didn't know, no matter how great the skills of the criminal department were, they could only move around in the periphery. Anyone can imagine that the murderer is a person from the armillary instrument prison, and outsiders have no chance to hide the body here, but if they can't find out who the deceased is, they can't pursue his social connections, they can't grasp the key clues, and they simply rely on the arraignment of officials in the prison to defraud confessions, which has no effect at all.

Of course, this 'story' is not so simple to tell in Xiao Jiu, the little girl is full of voices, and at this time she seriously describes the appearance of the bones, as if she is the one who opened the corpse; At that time, she learned the emperor's angry appearance, as if she was also discussing politics in the Jinluan Palace at that time...... And Song Yang's performance has also become a little abnormal, from the beginning of the interest gradually turned into thoughtful.

After Xiao Jiu finished speaking, he was still unsatisfied, and commented seriously: "This case must be solved, if you can't catch the real culprit, you will find someone to blame it, anyway, you must calm down those rumors of 'losing the country' in the market, but... Before looking for someone to blame, it is better to check it first, and it is best to find out the real culprit. ”

"That's what happened." Song Yang smiled, got up and took a pen and paper, quickly made a list and handed it to the little girl: "I have to work hard for you, I will buy these things later." With that, he got up and walked outside.

Xiao Jiu was busy catching up: "Where is Childe going?" ”

"This case is interesting, I want to go and see, you don't have to come with you for dinner."

Xiao Jiumu sent Song Yang out of the post house, his pretty face was full of wonder, the election was approaching, I don't understand why he didn't work hard at home, but ran to care about this headless case?

Song Yang went to Zhenxi Wangfu first, if he wanted to participate in this case, he had to be recommended by someone, and with his current identity, he could only touch a nose when he arrived at the Criminal Department.

The guards of the palace have already been instructed by the county lord, if there is a selected meritocracy, they must be polite to him, and they will be polite to him after Song Yang shows his identity, but unfortunately Ren Churong is not in the mansion, Song Yang is helpless, and he tentatively asks Ren Xiaoyu.

Ren Xiaozhu was not there, which was nothing, but what surprised Song Yang was ...... Her Royal Highness the princess went to work, and she went to the armillary sphere prison to 'work'.

Looking at Song Yang's surprised appearance, the guard in front of the door smiled and said: "As early as three years ago, the saint crowned my young lady as the shrewd county lord, and at the same time, he also gave him the position of Dr. Xuanji of the armillary superintendent, and a year ago he was crowned the 'Princess of Xuanji', but the official position of the armillary superintendent has not been moved. Everyone in the capital knows about this, but you don't know? ”

It turned out that his daughter-in-law was not only a princess, but also a 'doctor', Song Yang thanked the guards with a smile and left, casually asked passers-by where the armillary prison was, and rushed over.

Phoenix City is straight, the layout is regular, the mansions of the princes and important ministers are concentrated in the west city, the six departments and a number of public yamen are all in the east city, Song Yang rushed from the palace to the armillary prison, to cross the Beijing division, and also passed by the Nanli Imperial Palace located in the center of the city.

The territory of Middle Earth is vast, the climate difference between the north and the south is very great, and in the same New Year, Yanbei is still snowy, while Nanli is already full of new green. Especially inside and outside the palace, all over the planting of Nanli's unique tree species 'eye paulownia', has reached the time of flying flocculation and scattering seeds, when the smoke is rippling, layers of light yellow flocculent volleys and dances, brushing on the face warmly itchy, it is really the Spring Festival.

This kind of "eye tung" flying flotsam, can also be used in medicine, has the effect of strengthening the body, even if it is not sun-dried and drifting with the wind, the faint aroma emitted can also refresh the mind, it is a famous scenery of the New Year in Phoenix.

When Song Yang passed by the palace, he deliberately lingered for a while, and took a few flying flakes from the air and played with them in his hands......

When he arrived at the door of the armillary prison, before he went to inquire with the doorman, he saw Ren Xiaozhuo's personal guard Qin Cone striding out of the door.

Qin Cone was also quite puzzled: "This is not the time to prepare homework in the post house, and still have the heart to come to solve the case?" ”

Song Yang Zhengse: "Learning is used and serving the country is the true character of Qingyang's meritocracy." ”

Qin Cone laughed: "Don't make trouble. While smiling, he put aside the things he was about to do when he was about to go out, and took Song Yang into the armillary sphere prison to meet the princess.
