But the reality did not happen as he expected, and the sword of the young man in white did not slash at the hammer, but slashed towards the handle under the hammer. The grip of the hammer was relatively long, and the sword did not hurt the hands of the gray-clothed boy.

And at this moment, something happened to the surprise of everyone present, the sword fought against the hammer, the two hammer heads both fell, and the sword was also smashed by the hammer.

The falling hammer head smashed heavily on the ribs of the young man in white, and when he heard the young man snort, he spat blood from his mouth and fell to the ground. And the situation of the young man in gray is not much better.

The shattered blade of the sword, along with a gust of wind hanging outside, completely fell into the eyes of the gray-clothed young man. Everyone could only hear a scream on the stage, and the gray-clothed young man panicked and actually fell off the high competition platform.

This is a martial arts event that has only been held once after decades since the Su family inherited the country for so long, but they didn't expect this to happen. Everyone was frightened and overwhelmed, Su Jingye frowned and walked down, shouting at the soldiers carrying stretchers on the side.

"I was still stunned for what to do, so I hurriedly went to ask the military doctor to come over and take him both out of here. This is the end of today's competition, and the other people who should be dispersed have dispersed, so don't block them from seeking medical treatment. ”

was ordered by him like this, and the field suddenly became a mess, but fortunately, everything that should be done went smoothly. Zheng Cheng was the official secretary of Su Yu Tianxin, and it was also the first time to hold a martial arts, and at this time he was so frightened that he lost his proportion, and came to Su Jingye's side, almost holding him by hand.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, Xia Guan never thought that such a thing would happen. Xia Guan has always done it according to the statute of his ancestors, and His Majesty should not blame Xia Guan. ”

"Even if it was an accident, after all, it was handled by Lord Zheng, and presumably Lord Zheng couldn't escape it." Compared with the normal panic, Gu Ting seemed a lot calmer.

Su Jingye glanced at the two of them coldly, Zheng Cheng was as timid as a mouse, and Gu Ting was playing with right and wrong, gloating, none of the two was reliable. Moreover, today's events have a deep relationship with both of them.

"Two adults, go back first, this king will tell Your Majesty everything that happened today, and Your Majesty will decide."

"Yes." Zheng Cheng only replied. Although he was timid and afraid, he didn't like others to insult him so much, if Su Jingye hadn't suddenly interrupted, he would have quarreled with Gu Ting in broad daylight.

There is no need to wait until tomorrow to go to the court, when Lord Zheng returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials in the afternoon, a group of small people suddenly rushed up at the door of the Yamen, blocking the road and not letting him in, and they kept making noise.

It turned out that the two teenagers who finally competed for the champion of Wu were both from civilian backgrounds, and now they were treated so unfairly, their families immediately incited the crowd to come together to protest, demanding that the people in the yamen must give an explanation.

Zheng Chengxinguan took office, and he was so happy that he was anxious to make some achievements for himself, and now is a perfect opportunity. He was confident that he had done nothing wrong, and Su Jingye testified for him, so he boldly spoke big in front of this group of people.

"Rest assured, the officials will definitely promise to find out the ins and outs of the matter and give justice to the two of them."

He swore that the people below were really frightened by him. But the little official beside Zheng Cheng was still awake, and quietly leaned around him and pulled his sleeve.

"My lord, how can I find out about this? If this is found out, it was really our people who did it, wouldn't that be a slap in the face? If we can't find out, these people won't let us go easily. ”

"Everyone, please go back first, it will take some time for the yamen to do things, please believe that this official, this official will not tolerate this person who did evil in the martial arts examination with impunity."

Zheng Cheng hurriedly asked someone to invite the people out of the door, and then closed the door of the yamen, and then grabbed the little official and scolded, "Are you stupid? Telling the truth in front of so many people, is it to make this group of Diao people step on the yamen? ”

"The little ones are just worried about the adults." The little official finally saved his ears from Zheng Cheng's hands, and now the back of his ears is already red.

"Naturally, the investigation is in charge of the group of people from the Yushitai, what do you want us to do with this heart? They don't know who to turn to, don't we know? ”

Zheng Cheng snorted in disgust, "You still need to learn more from your side with this official, otherwise we will share our worries with this official in the future." ”

"The little one knows." The little official hurriedly nodded beside him.

Zheng Chengzheng taught his subordinates a hard lesson, and suddenly the door of the yamen was kicked open again, and a large number of people came in from outside.

"Whoever trespasses into the yamen, whoever comes, will be driven out for me." Zheng Cheng turned his back and wanted to walk towards the study, so he didn't pay attention to who came in.

"Yushitai handles the case, who dares to stop it." Shi Zhengzhi carried a measuring ruler on his shoulder, straightened his back, and strode towards Zheng Cheng.

Zheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned around with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Shi, I don't know what Lord Shi is doing here." ”

"This official is ordered to investigate the matter of martial arts, and Lord Zheng, as the operator of the martial arts examination, should cooperate with the investigation of the Imperial Historical Observatory." As his name suggests, Shi is a very fair and honest person.

Since he sat in the Imperial History Tower, he has solved several strange cases, no matter whether the offender is a relative of the emperor, the children of officials and nobles, or ordinary people, as long as the case is under his hands, it will be treated equally, and the investigation will be clear.

Therefore, even if Lord Shi's rank is not very high in the court, just for his prestige, it is enough to convince people who are higher than him. It is precisely because he is too upright that he has made many enemies in the DPRK and China, and many officials have resentment against him.

"Cooperate, naturally cooperate." Lord Zheng has more or less inquired about the situation of the officials of the DPRK and China, and in the spirit of not offending people, he is kind to everyone.

"It's just that this weapon was provided by Lord Gu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the official just appropriated it and used it, if Lord Shi wants to investigate, he should also go to Lord Gu first."

"Lord Zheng doesn't need to worry, Xia Guan has already looked for Lord Gu before, and even His Royal Highness King Jing has promised to cooperate with the case, and now Lord Zheng is one left." Although Lord Shi does not practice martial arts, he is tall and tall, and he looks particularly strong when standing in front of Zheng Cheng.

"Your Majesty, how could you know so quickly what just happened in the morning?"

Zheng Cheng has been dragging his feet and refusing to go with him, not only to Shi Zheng, but also to the entire Yushitai. How many prisoners have been imprisoned in the Imperial Observatory, how many Xing tools are hidden, and if he goes in, he will still be ordered to come out?

"After the incident happened at that time, His Royal Highness King Jing immediately drove his horse into the palace and reported to His Majesty. When His Majesty learned about it, Long Yan was furious, and Cai ordered the officials to find the murderer as soon as possible. ”

Lord Shi saw what he was worried about, and couldn't help but sneer at him a little in his heart, as a manly husband, he was so timid and afraid.

"Lord Zheng doesn't have to worry, the civil official will not be punished, the official promises you that he will let you come back completely, as long as the Chengchi Lord can also be sure that he has nothing to do with this matter."

"That must have nothing to do with me, there is a problem with the weapon, it must be a problem with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Blame, he wants to blame me, Lord Shi must be aware of everything."

Zheng Cheng softened his attitude, and Shi Zhengzhi couldn't wait, so he called the little officials around him to carry him out.

At that time, the main person in charge of the martial arts had already been questioned by Shi Zhengzhi. According to the testimony provided by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials, both sides of them are shirking each other's responsibilities and each has its own reasons.

Shi Zhengzhi felt that they were probably taught how to speak, but they couldn't be tortured, otherwise they would be strongly interpreted by the group of people in the court who didn't think the matter was big enough.

After thinking about it left and right, Shi Zhengzhi thought of a compromise solution, and let Zheng Cheng and Gu Ting confront each other face to face, so that it was their own words, and if they could really successfully lead to the truth, it would be a lot more convenient.

The two ministers involved in the case are both pillars of the court, and Su Yutian naturally will not ask when he is in the court, so as not to make people laugh. Lord Shi specially invited the emperor and King Jing to come and listen together, and fortunately, someone proved that he did not misbehave.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged." Gu Ting didn't receive any bad treatment in this interrogation room, but he took off his hat, his gray hair, and his ravine-lined old face, making people who don't know think how much he was wronged.

"The old minister did his best for His Majesty in the court, and the youngest sister in the family married His Majesty and worked for His Majesty in the harem. The Wechen family can be regarded as doing their best for our court, and now they are almost burdened with this trumped-up crime, and they ask Your Majesty to uphold justice for Wechen. ”

"Your Majesty, this case has not yet been decided, and the lower officials have never intended to let anyone be charged, what Lord Gu said is too presumptuous." Lord Shi listened to what he said that was wrong, and his words seemed to be accusing himself, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and he was anxious to prove it to Su Yutian.

"I know." Su Yutian nodded, "Gu Aiqing, this is a case, you don't have to be involved in the harem and the previous dynasty." ”

As soon as these words came out, Su Jingye also heard what the emperor meant, and he was determined to draw a line with Gu Ting's family. Su Yutian had already tested Yun Zhaoyi's influence on Lord Gu, and now that Yun Zhaoyi was in his hands, it was not easy to control Lord Gu.

Master Gu also understood, he and his sister were put together by the emperor, and he was confident that he could get out of the current predicament, but he couldn't help but worry that his sister was in the harem, and he was afraid that she would have to suffer in the future.

"Wechen knows, Wechen just wants to use the merits of himself and his sister to prove to His Majesty that Wechen will never do such a stupid thing."

When Master Gu's words landed, he heard Zheng Cheng's sneer.
