Chapter 54: A Good Day and an Auspicious Day
After the candidate drank a cup of tea and calmed down for a while, he finally slowly remembered what had happened before.
The candidate's name is Xu Xuan, a native of Huaizhou, who participated in the imperial examination for the first time this year, and is also a relatively famous talent in his hometown, and his family gives him deep hopes.
"At that time, I had just finished writing a poem, and I was still thinking about how the poem was right, and then ......" The candidate twisted his eyebrows, felt a slight pain in his head, and recalled: "Then, I felt that my brain was groggy, and my eyes were a little confused, and then I was ...... I don't know. ”
Shen Lingjun stared at his eyes, Xu Xuan was still shocked, his face was still very bad, and the deep confusion in his eyes showed that he really didn't know what was going on.
It's strange, it's obviously a suicide, but you don't know what you're doing?
Leaving the candidates to continue to complete the following questions, Shen Lingjun and them left the cubicle.
Just in case, Li Wangshu specially arranged for someone to stay here.
Before leaving, Shen Lingjun said to Li Wangshu: "Lord Li, it is best to arrange a guard every five rooms to keep an eye on other candidates at any time. ”
Li Wangshu's eyes tightened: "What does Lord Shen mean by this?" ”
The corners of Shen Lingjun's mouth hooked slightly, and he chuckled: "I'm afraid of what happens." ”
Li Wangshu lowered his head and thought about it, the emperor arranged the position of the deputy examiner for him, the position is not big, but the responsibility is very heavy, plus Zhu Yizhi is sleek and sophisticated, just look at the situation just now, and he is in a hurry to clear it up as soon as something happens. If something really happens again, it's really hard for me to explain.
Thinking of this, he nodded again and again: "What Lord Shen said is reasonable. As a result, I am even more interested in this Dali Temple.
When they got outside, Shen Lingjun said to Su Musha and Ye Qingzhi: "If what Xu Xuan said is true, did the other candidates who committed suicide also have the same situation as him?" ”
Ye Qingzhi frowned together: "But I didn't find any psychedelic or drugs on their bodies, how could it be?" ”
Su Musha pondered: "Could it be a kind of smoke, which will disperse when the wind blows." ”
Shen Lingjun nodded: "It's very possible." ”
Ye Qingzhi shook her head: "If that's the case, when Xiang Wentian and Li Mengbai were in the same room, why was Li Mengbai fine." ”
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha listened to it and felt that it made sense.
"On the contrary, there is one thing that I care about." Ye Qingzhi's cold voice carried a hint of uncertainty.
Shen Lingjun raised his eyes to look at her: "What's the matter?" ”
Ye Qingzhi pursed her lips, and then said, "It will take some time, and I will tell you when I am sure." ”
Shen Lingjun didn't know what Ye Qingzhi suspected, but she must have a reason for saying this, out of trust in Ye Qingzhi for no reason, Shen Lingjun didn't ask again.
Shen Lingjun and the others did not go to the martial arts test site again, and went back to Dali Temple directly.
After returning home, Ye Qingzhi plunged into the autopsy room. Shen Lingjun estimated that he couldn't get out for more than ten hours.
Shen Lingjun just made a pot of tea, prepared to sit down with Su Musha to rest, and then went to investigate the matter of the cult.
Before he could take a sip, a burst of rich incense powder wafted in from Dali Temple.
Shen Lingjun's eyelids jumped, and he just had an ominous premonition, followed by two great beauties full of charm.
"Why are you two here?" Shen Lingjun watched the two beauties come in with their soft waists, and held down their eyelids.
Lan Feng rushed over and hugged Shen Lingjun, and kissed him first: "Xiao Ling'er, what have you been busy with lately, don't come to see us." ”
Shen Lingjun wiped the saliva from his face and said dissatisfiedly: "Aunt Lan, people are not children anymore. "Don't kiss your face every time.
Over there, Su Qing sat down with something she didn't know, knocked on her legs, and shouted coquettishly: "Oh, I'm so tired of walking, I'm so thirsty." ”
Su Mu covered his forehead, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Su Qing: "Sister, drink water." ”
Su Qing immediately smiled: "Good~"
This voice is obedient, Su Qing said melodiously and femininely. Shen Lingjun was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and immediately felt that he was not a woman.
Shen Lingjun also poured a glass of water for Lan Feng: "Aunt Lan, don't play mahjong today?" ”
Lan Feng waved his hand and said seriously: "Don't fight, there is something serious." ”
Su Qing squinted her eyes and smiled: "That's right!" ”
Su Musha and Shen Ling both glanced at each other, and said at the same time in their hearts - what serious business did the two of them have.
The two of them thought so, and Su Qing on the other side took out the thing he was holding from his arms, which turned out to be the old yellow calendar.
Su Qing continued to smile: "We chose three auspicious days of the zodiac, which one do you think is better?" ”
Lan Feng took Shen Lingjun's hand, and her beautiful eyes rolled: "I have already passed the book to your mother, and she said that she will come to Luoyang next month." ”
Shen Lingjun stretched out a finger and poked his forehead, suddenly had an idea, and said with a serious face: "No!" How can a lifelong event be so sloppy, it must be in the presence of my father and mother, and carefully choose a day! ”
Shen Lingjun said it so solemnly that Su Qing and Lan Feng were stunned at the same time.
After a while, the two glanced at each other, and Lan Feng slapped his thigh: "Ouch, it's still my little Ling'er who is sensible~"
Su Qing also pursed her lips and nodded: "It makes sense, I will write another letter urging my father and mother to come to Luoyang quickly." ”
"Uh......" Shen Lingjun pinched his throat and coughed twice: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry......
Su Qing and Lan Feng couldn't listen to the next words, and the two big beauties immediately stood up, twisted their waists and went out again.
Shen Lingjun looked at the sky speechlessly, and suddenly remembered that Su Qing didn't come to Luoyang to see a doctor? Why haven't you mentioned this matter for the past two days?
Turning his head, he wanted to ask Su Musha, but found that he was staring at him, and his eyes were still a little subtle.
Shen Lingjun blinked, and then touched his face, could it be that he got something dirty on it?
Su Musha was actually quite shocked, he didn't expect Shen Lingjun to say that in front of Su Qing and Lan Feng, in his heart, although Shen Lingjun likes to tease himself from time to time, his personality is still quite awkward.
Therefore, she can say this, it must not be just to perfunctory the two of them, that means......
"Settled?" Su Mu suddenly said this sentence without a head.
Shen Lingjun was stunned, and then nodded pretending to be calm: "Ahem, well, what's that, yes." "Reach out and touch your ears, whew~ It's so hot.
The first time he heard her vague but finally certain words, Su Musha was stunned.
After a long time, his dark eyes slowly brightened, his thin lips raised, and he smiled lightly: "Hmm." ”
The two stood in the courtyard, looking at this side and looking at that side, but neither dared to look at each other, embarrassment and ambiguity existed at the same time, and the wind could not blow away.
The wind can't blow away, but as soon as Li Yi stepped into the courtyard, this ambiguous embarrassment disappeared instantly.
Li Yi found out the news of Chu Qi and came to tell Shen Lingjun.
This Chu Qi is an ordinary candidate, except for a better literary position, there is nothing special. The family background is also very simple, the family has parents and brothers, and it can be regarded as a scholarly family.
In fact, Shen Lingjun also knew that Chu Qi, like several other candidates who committed suicide, couldn't find anything. simply let Li Yi arrange people to stare at the three somewhat weird martial artists.
However, the three martial artists did not move that night, but something else happened.
The next day, as soon as a trace of fish belly white was revealed, Li Yi hurriedly ran over and shouted through the courtyard: "Your Excellency, ......"
Qinghe poked his head out of the kitchen and helped him answer with a smile: "Oh no." ”
Li Yi looked at the sky, did he shout this sentence a little often?
However, Shen Lingjun was finally shouted out by him, yawning and squinting impatiently and asking, "What's wrong?" "This posture means - nothing important dares to disturb my aunt and grandmother's sleep, the sin is unforgivable!
Li Yi looked at the ugly face of his adult, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "My lord, there are two martial arts who have died!" ”
Shen Lingjun instantly clarified: "Let you stare at one of those three people?" ”
Li Yi shook his head: "No, it's the other two." ”
The two people who died were Tie Gang, who used a sledgehammer in yesterday's martial arts test, and Yang Zhiming, who used a spear.
Shen Lingjun remembered that these two people performed well in the preliminary examination yesterday and both entered the next round.
Tie Gang was smashed in the head by his own sledgehammer, and Yang Zhiming had a spear of his kind stuck in his chest.
After Shen Lingjun squatted and read it, he shook his head: "I'm afraid they never thought that they would die at the hands of their own weapons." ”
After Ye Qingzhi examined the body, she asked the servants to carry the body back and freeze it.
Shen Lingjun rolled up the scroll hanging on the wall, put it on the corpse, and asked the officials to take it back with him.
Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi walked out and asked, "Did you find anything from that corpse yesterday?" ”
Ye Qingzhi shook her head, with some confusion in her eyes: "Like Huang Yu and them, there are no toxins in their bodies, and there are no other wounds. ”
Shen Lingjun stopped: "Then what are you talking about uncertain?" ”
Ye Qingzhi frowned slightly: "It's almost time, I'll give you the answer at night." ”
"Good!"
Li Yi followed behind the two, watching Shen Lingjun pull Ye Qingzhi to the breakfast stall next to him, and couldn't help but speak: "My lord, will you go back to Dali Temple later, or go to Tie Gang and Yang Zhiming's inn to inquire?" ”
Shen Lingjun asked the shopkeeper to bring two bowls of tofu brains and a stack of fried osmanthus cakes, and thought for a while: "Go back to Dali Temple first." ”
Li Yi watched Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi send a spoonful of tofu brains into their mouths, and his mind instantly flashed over Tie Gang's brain-shattering head just now. Suddenly, Li Yi's stomach swelled.
Shen Lingjun narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to the side.
Li Yi rushed over and spit out all the acid water in his stomach. I thought in my heart, he was used to the perversion of his family, but he didn't expect Miss Ye to be bad.
In fact, Li Yi was deceived by Ye Qingzhi's weak appearance, not to mention eating tofu brain here, even if she was asked to eat it calmly in front of the corpse.
Shen Lingjun shook his head, after so long, this Li Yi still hasn't grown at all.
When Li Yi came back, she said, "Forget it, you still go and stare at that Xu Yan yesterday to see if there is anything going on on his side." ”
Li Yi would rather run errands than follow Shen Lingjun's side now, and hugged his fist happily: "Yes, my lord." ”
