Section 88 Chapter 88 Look at the list

Zhechong Mansion is the military government of the Great Zhou Dynasty in various places. It is mostly distributed in Jiangbei, mainly to maintain the safety of Jingshi. However, there is only one commander of the unified army in Zhichong Prefecture, one lieutenant of Guoyi on the left and right, and one general of the general, one Changshi, and one soldier Cao to join the army. Because the management of the Ochichong Prefecture focuses on a large number of military forces, it is not under the control of various localities and is directly under the capital division. However, the history of the state capitals in various places has a certain impact on the Folding Prefecture.

This time, Huo Qingsong was ordered to come to Jiangling Mansion to eradicate the remnants of King Chen, and His Majesty the Emperor handed over the military talisman of Jiangling Zhechong Mansion to him. Although this shows that His Majesty the Emperor attaches great importance to Huo Qingsong, he is also telling Huo Qingsong that the remnants of King Chen's party cannot leave a single person.

When he came to Jiangling Mansion, Huo Qingsong quickly found clues, determined the identities of more than a dozen people, and arrested these people. Although only five of them couldn't stand the torture and confessed, they were just small minions, and they didn't know anything about the characters at the next level.

Only then did Huo Qingsong release these five people and let them use them to attract more people. Who would have thought that Chen Wangyu also had people with outstanding wisdom in the party. On the day of the temple fair, they used the cover of the people to kill all five people, leaving no clues.

It was already the fourth day, and Huo Qingsong, who was staying in Zhichong Mansion, couldn't sit still. Huo Bao looked at Huo Qingsong's face becoming more gloomy day by day, and his heart was also very anxious. However, this is also a bit difficult to understand. Before Huo Qingsong came to Jiangling Mansion, the Zhichong Governor of Zhichong Mansion was worried about going home, and all the affairs of Zhichong Mansion were handed over to Guoyi Commander Fang Zhe. Fang Zhe didn't take care of things very much, and he hadn't gotten used to the power of the Zhichong Mansion yet.

"General, general, there's news, there's news." Huo Qingsong was thinking about whether to go out for a walk to relax or think of something. But at this moment, Fang Zhe, who was sweating profusely, ran in.

When Huo Qingsong heard 'there is news', he immediately got up and didn't let Fang Zhe salute, so he hurriedly said, "What news, tell me quickly." ”

"Yes." Fang Zhe took a few breaths before explaining briefly. After the government soldiers checked all the people on the day of the temple fair, they finally found a few suspicious people. When Fang Zhe was about to arrest him, the three people suddenly disappeared from his current home. And just now, a spy found that the three people were heading in the direction of the mansion.

"Could it be that there are also their people in the government?" Huo Qingsong was a little unconvinced. On the first day he came to Gangneung Mansion, he checked all the officials in the Gangneung Mansion, and there was nothing wrong with it. Huo Bao thought of the itinerary he had just received from Huo Qingqing, and immediately said: "General, today is the day of the township test list, and there should be many people at the gate of the government office." ”

"A lot of people." When Huo Qingsong heard this, he immediately got up and instructed Fang Zhe: "Fang Zhe, you lead everyone to guard all the entrances and exits near the mansion. Then let the two teams of people mix in civilian clothes in the school, in case these three people break out and hurt people......"

Under the command of Huo Qingsong, the Zhichong Mansion took action. In the square not far from the government office of Gangneung Province, there are two large pieces of paper posted on the left and the right, and the paper is all densely packed with words. On the left is the name of the person who was cited in the township examination, and on the right is the list of those who passed the township examination.

As time went on, more and more people came here. In front of the big list, more and more students gathered, and they were trying to find their names on the list. Some found their names and cheered and went to the neighborhood with their friends to celebrate. And those who didn't find their names hung their heads, as if their whole body had lost their strength, and slowly walked away.

Huo Qingqing heard about the scene of the day of the imperial examination from the mouths of the people in the mansion, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. At this time, seeing the two opposing emotions, I felt interesting at the same time, but I was glad to say: "Fortunately, I am not a man, so I don't have to rush to the exam." Otherwise, I don't even know if I can stand this scene. ”

"Look at your temperament, you know you can't stand it. Whether you pass the exam or not, you will definitely look like that person. Lu Xiang'er pointed to a student trembling all over her body in the distance, and smiled strangely at Huo Qingqing.

Huo Qingqing saw that although the person next to the student was anxious, his eyes were still full of joy, and he knew that the student must be happy to be like that. However, that crazy appearance was too embarrassing, so Huo Qingqing and Lu Xiang'er quarreled. Lu Hong looked at the two of them with a smile, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to the 'list' in the distance.

"Brother Hong, there are too many people in front, and the carriage can't get in." Uncle Zheng saw that there were more and more people, and he knew in his heart that if he went inside, it might not be easy to come out for a while. In desperation, he could only stop the carriage and ask Lu Hong's opinion.

Lu Hong lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, looked at the crowd in the distance, then turned to Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing and said, "You two are waiting here, I'll just go and see it alone." ”

"That's not good, there are two lists there, when will you find them alone." Huo Qingqing's eyes flashed with excitement, obviously not just to help Lu Hong find his name.

Lu Xiang'er didn't want to stay in the car, so she didn't expose Huo Qingqing's true intentions, nodded and said, "Brother, Qingqing is right. Qingqing and I take care of each other, so nothing should happen. Let's finish reading the list soon, and then go grocery shopping and go home to celebrate. ”

"How do you know that my brother must pass the literary exam." When Lu Hong saw Lu Xiang'er's expression, he didn't insist too much. After laughing a few words Lu Xiang'er, Lu Hong left Uncle Zheng to guard the carriage, and began to take Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing to the list paper.

Shuttling through the crowd, Lu Hong, Lu Xianger, and Huo Qingqing were divided into two roads when they were about to reach the big list. Lu Hong went to see the first list, and Lu Xianger and Huo Qingqing went to see the second one. Lu Hong squeezed through the crowd and soon came to the front. Taking a deep breath, Lu Hong was looking at the name on the paper. But after seeing it twice on this big piece of paper, Lu Hong didn't find his name.

No matter what happened before, Lu Hong's mood at this time was a little disappointed. I worked hard for so long, but in the end, I missed the exam due to an illness. You must know how special this imperial examination is, it is the first time that the Great Zhou Dynasty attaches so much importance to martial arts, and I don't know if there will be such an Enke in the future.

Sighing softly, Lu Hong slowly turned around and walked out of the crowd. Standing in a relatively relaxed place, looking for Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing in the direction of another list. Although there are a lot of people, almost all of them are men, and there are really few little ladies, Lu Hong soon saw the two people who were looking at the big list seriously.

Lu Xianger cares about Lu Hong, so she is serious. And Huo Qingqing usually always quarrels with Lu Hong, but at this time he is so serious, but Lu Hong is a little moved. Seeing the two of them being squeezed, Lu Hong also forgot to think about whether there was his name on this list, and just wanted to step forward to protect the two of them from being squeezed. Thinking about it, Lu Hong raised his legs and walked towards the two women.

At the same time, Huo Qingsong, who was looking at this in a nearby high-rise teahouse, frowned. Huo Bao beside him looked anxious, and sweat was on his forehead. Looking at Huo Qingsong, Huo Bao couldn't help but say anxiously: "General, general, Xiao, the lady is there, those three people seem to be approaching her direction." ”

"Wait, the three of them are too scattered. If an arrest were to be made now, it would be very easy to cause riots. Huo Qingsong's tone was very calm, but the hands he held tightly showed that his heart was not calm.

Lu Hong, who was walking in the crowd, felt something in his heart and looked around unconsciously. Suddenly, Lu Hong found a middle-aged man with a cold expression and cold eyes, ignoring the crowded crowd around him, and walked straight up. I don't know if it's Lu Hong's illusion, he always felt that that person was heading in the direction of Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing. At the same time, the sense of foreboding that suddenly rose in him made Lu Hong immediately rush towards Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing.

When Lu Hong got closer and closer to Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing, he found two similar people walking towards this side from the other two directions. Lu Hong looked at the distance between himself and Lu Xiang'er, and immediately shouted: "Xiang'er, Qingqing, come to me-"

Lu Hong's voice was very loud, but he forgot that this small square was full of people, and no matter how loud the sound was, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean. Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing suddenly pointed to a certain place on the paper, and cheered at the same time, and they couldn't hear Lu Hong's voice.

Huo Qingsong, who was watching from a distance, immediately instructed Fang Zhe: "Let the people in the square move in that direction." If those three people do anything inappropriate, take action immediately. ”

"Obey—" Fang Zhe already knew from Huo Bao that Huo Qingsong's sister was in the square. Moreover, the three men seemed to be walking towards where she was. Fang Zhe came out of the barracks, so he naturally knew Huo Qingsong's family background. For the respect of the old general Huo Jing, he didn't want Huo Qingqing to have any accidents. After Huo Qingsong spoke, Fang Zhe immediately took the order and left.

In the square, there was still joy or frustration, but no one noticed that an undercurrent was surging. Lu Xiang'er, who was immersed in joy, and Huo Qingqing, who had never experienced anything, didn't notice the two of them at all, and they were in the center of this undercurrent.

Originally, Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingqing had already read it on this piece of paper, but they didn't find Huo Qingsong's name, so Lu Xiang'er wanted to leave. But Huo Qingqing said that there are so many names, you may miss it, so it is better to watch it again. So, the two of them slowly looked at it again from the beginning. Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, Huo Qingqing discovered Lu Hong's name.

"I didn't expect Lu Hong to go to the exam with illness and let him pass, he really has some ability." Although Huo Qingqing was also happy for Lu Hong, he was still a little disdainful. Lu Xiang'er had long been used to it, and smiled disapprerovingly: "I'm not my brother, if you want to say it, just go and say it." ”

"Just say it, I'm not afraid of him." Huo Qingqing raised his head, took Lu Xiang'er's hand, and prepared to turn around and withdraw from the crowd.
