Obviously, each of them died bizarrely, but all kinds of things at the scene did indicate that it was a suicide, and this kind of unprecedented case made Shen Lingjun feel powerless.

And Shen Lingjun and Ye Qingzhi had just stepped into Dali Temple on the front foot, and Mei Jian came on the back foot.

Shen Lingjun squinted at Mei Jian, no matter how long she hadn't seen her, she was such a stereotypical and serious face, curious if the emperor would get tired of facing such a face every day.

Mei Jian didn't waste any words, and said directly: "The emperor said that Master Lu's bribery case, Lord Shen did a very beautiful job, and he wants to reward Lord Shen for his meritorious deeds." ”

Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "Thank you." "I muttered in my heart, the emperor's reward is still forgotten, and if it is not rewarded, it will not be good.

"But ......" Mei saw that the words changed: "The emperor heard that there have been many suicides of students in Luoyang recently, including one in the Hongwen Pavilion today, which is rumored to be some of the pillars of talent, and the emperor is sad when he hears it." Moreover, every time something happens, there are fakes of the stolen picture scrolls in the palace, and the emperor asks Lord Shen to find out the reason for this matter, and the scientific expedition is imminent, so this matter cannot be affected. ”

Shen Lingjun's eyes twitched, and he narrowed a smirk: "The emperor is very well-informed." ”

Mei Jian said to Shen Lingjun without a smile: "The emperor also said that after this matter is investigated, he will reward Lord Shen together with the previous bribery case." ”

Shen Lingjun forced out a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Originally, Ye Qingzhi had been standing quietly beside her, but at this moment, Mei Jian turned around, looked at Ye Qingzhi and said, "Doctor Ye is too talented in Dali Temple, if you want to go to Tai Hospital......"

"Stop, stop!" Shen Lingjun made a stop gesture, rolled his eyes at the sky, and muttered to himself - the emperor is really a thief, trying to dig my corner.

On the face, it is harmless to laugh at people and animals: "The hospital is full of talents, not worse than one or two, my Dali Temple is different, without Qingzhi, just like I breathe less air, lack chopsticks for eating, drink porridge without pickles, in short, it is indispensable!" ”

Mei Jian had heard of Shen Lingjun's foodie nature for a long time, and this time she thoroughly understood it, and immediately cried and laughed, and didn't care about her, but only said to Ye Qingzhi: "What does Doctor Ye think?" ”

Ye Qingzhi's pale face did not wave, and she said with a touch of politeness in her cold voice: "Thank you for the emperor's love, but the grass people have always been used to being casual, and I don't think it is suitable for a solemn place like the Tai Hospital." ”

Mei saw that when she heard this, she knew that Ye Qingzhi was not very reluctant, so she smiled faintly: "I know, I will be truthful." ”

Before Mei Jian left Dali Temple, he repeatedly told Shen Lingjun that several suicide cases looked extraordinary, and he must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the scientific examination two days later may cause another incident.

The convoluted suicide case finally progressed the next day.

Early in the morning, as soon as Qinghe opened the door, a figure rushed towards him.

Fortunately, Qinghe was in good hands, and at the same time he flashed and held the person in time, looked at it fixedly, and said happily: "Yo, isn't this the eldest prince Feng, why are you drunk again?" ”

Feng Zheng was full of wine, he was still shaking when he walked, his eyes were clear, obviously not long after the wine woke up, he still said with a big tongue: "Snake...... The serpent wins a man, and I have four to shrink ...... her."

Qinghe blinked, listened to it three times before he understood, dragged him inside, and happened to meet the cicada feather, so she hurried to cook some sobering soup, and said that it was not good, what are you looking for their young lady.

put Feng Zheng in the courtyard, brought a bucket of well water up, soaked it in the well water with a soft cloth, the well water was cold, and applied it to Feng Zheng's face, so that he was excited.

When Cicada Yu came over with the sobering soup and drank two large bowls, Feng Zheng's groggy head immediately became much more comfortable.

Qinghe Cicada Yu arranged breakfast in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "If you don't sober up, I'll just throw you into the well." ”

"Don't." Feng Zheng took away the cloth on his face, shook his head, and said, "Wake up, completely wake up." ”

Cicada Yu took a big bowl of white porridge and handed it over: "Oh, eat it." ”

Qinghe set up the dishes and chopsticks, remembering that Feng Zheng was looking for their young lady just now, and asked, "What did you say was the matter with our young lady?" ”

Although Feng Zheng drank too much wine, his stomach was still empty, and he saw that the white porridge with side dishes was still serious and had an appetite, and he snorted and ate most of the bowl, and when he heard Qinghe ask, he patted his head: "By the way, there is something serious." ”

"Do you have anything serious to do?" The teasing voice came from Shen Lingjun, she stretched her waist and asked Qinghe: "What's delicious?" ”

Qinghe hurriedly handed over the chopsticks and bowls: "There are lily barley porridge, preserved egg and lean pork porridge, millet and red date porridge, as well as flipping cakes, large rolls, big oil cakes, butterfly rolls, Fu'er cakes, champion cakes, ......"

Shen Lingjun asked for a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and then grabbed a champion cake, a mouthful of porridge and a mouthful of cake, and ate very satisfied.

At the other end, Feng Zheng drank the porridge in the bowl and said, "Lord Shen, I was busy all night yesterday, and I have something to tell you." ”

Cicada Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "I don't know if you were busy last night, but I smelled the smell of wine you drank, and I was clamoring to see snakes and win people." ”

Feng Zheng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "That's not for serious business." ”

At this moment, everyone got up one after another and sat around for breakfast.

Shen Lingjun looked around, yesterday Feng Zheng didn't dare to stay at the Longmen Inn alone, so he took Li Mengbai with him, but at this time, only Feng Zheng came back alone, and said curiously: "Li Mengbai, why didn't you come back with you." ”

Feng Zheng gnawed on the champion cake in his hand and said, "When I passed through Su Mansion, I was caught back, I don't know what happened." ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha glanced at each other, and their eyelids twitched at the same time.

"Why is this called the champion cake?" Tang Tang pinched it in his hand, tilted his head and said, "It's nothing special to look at, isn't it just a round cake?" ”

Ye Qingzhi said: "It's just a good celebration." ”

"Well, yes." Qinghe said with a smile: "Every time there is a scientific examination, there are champion cakes and champion wine everywhere, isn't there a champion building." ”

Zhao Qi just picked up the chopsticks and inserted a big oil cake, Kagura leaned over and said, "By the way, General, tonight's birthday of Wu'an Hou, I posted earlier." ”

Zhao Qi nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "Is the birthday gift ready?" ”

"It's all set."

"Wu Anhou?" Shen Lingjun bit his chopsticks, his face full of doubts: "Why is it another birthday, didn't it pass once in the first half of the year?" ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "You didn't receive the post?" The previous time it was false, this time it is real. ”

Shen Lingjun was sweating all over his face: "I'm addicted to doing longevity." ”

Kagura said happily: "Only by doing a birthday can you find an open excuse to receive gifts." ”

"Ouch!" The cicada feather monster screamed: "If Kagura hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten it, this invitation was sent two days earlier, look at my brain." ”

Cicada Yu hurriedly ran back to the room, and after a while, he ran back in a hurry, this time running, but he didn't see panting, which shows that his kung fu is not weak.

She gave the invitation to Shen Lingjun and said, "Miss, look." ”

Shen Lingjun took it and looked at it twice, looking at the sky, and the only thought in his heart was that he would not be able to eat enough again.

Qinghe said: "I have prepared a birthday gift, the night pearl of the East China Sea, the size of a pigeon egg, can I give it away?" ”

Other people twitch the corners of their mouths, they can't send it away, what should they do if they call others?

Kagura said: "Yo, I didn't see that Dali Temple is quite rich." ”

"Where?" Qinghe smiled and said, "It's all brought by my mother's family." ”

Except for Su Musha, everyone was immediately impressed by Shen Lingjun, did he have such a solid family background? Why do you usually behave like a shabby, and follow Su Mu to eat every day.

Shen Lingjun ate calmly, ignoring all eyes, where does anyone know that rubbing rice is also a kind of fun!

Tang Tang held his face in both hands, and his black eyes were shining: "Is it fun to be a longevity?" "The implication is that I'm going too!

Shen Changfeng immediately saw her thoughts, and smiled slightly: "It's not fun." ”

Tang Tang twisted his face: "Hmph." ”

Shen Lingjun propped his chin and said, "It's better for you to go instead of me." ”

Tang Tang was suddenly happy: "Really? ”

Shen Changfeng handed a cake to Tang Tang, gagged her mouth, and said mercilessly: "Fake." ”

"Nasty Central Plains people!"

At this time, Feng Zheng, who had eaten and drunk, raised his hands weakly and said, "Have you talked about it, I have something to say here." ”

Everyone looked at him in unison: "Say! ”

Feng Zheng wiped his mouth and said, "After I stayed at the Longmen Inn with Brother Li last night, I invited the other candidates to drink together." ”

Shen Lingjun said patiently: "We all know this, what else?" ”

"Drink and drink, and they drink too much."

Everyone looked at him with a look in their eyes that said - obviously you drank too much.

Feng Zheng tugged at his cheeks: "No, you listen to me, later, after they drank too much, they told me that some candidates secretly joined a sect in private." ”

Ye Qingzhi was puzzled: "Is there any law in Datang that stipulates that you can't join the sect, why do you have to do it secretly?" ”

Shen Lingjun shook his head: "Where, there are many people who believe in Buddhism, and the first emperor worships Buddha." ”

"This is no ordinary sect." Feng Zhengshen said mysteriously: "The name of this sect is Manichaeism, and it only accepts young students, but it is said that it is very effective, as long as you worship it, you will be named on the gold list." ”

Zhao Qi pouted: "According to that, I still read the wool book, and I will go in and worship for two days, won't it be over?" ”

Although the words are rude, the reason is this reason, and everyone present thinks that this is too mysterious.

Feng Zheng twisted his eyebrows and said: "Then I also heard about it, and said that this Manichaean leader is a woman, very beautiful, and everyone will come back and reward a beautiful picture of the sect leader." ”

"Poof......" Tang Tang couldn't help laughing: "I think this sect leader is a narcissist." ”

Ye Qingzhi has been particularly sensitive to beauty pictures recently, and asked, "Have you seen it?" ”

Feng Zheng shook his head: "No, the few who drank with me are not qualified to join the sect, so they are all heard, only the most devout believers are eligible to be rewarded, not everyone can get it." But whoever gets that beauty picture is blessed by the sect leader, and in this imperial examination, he will definitely be on the gold list, not to mention the title, and he can also rank among the top three. ”

Shen Lingjun and Su Musha looked at each other: "Could this beauty picture be the picture scroll that appeared at the suicide scene?" ”

Su Musha thought for a moment and said, "On the picture scroll is the former palace maid and wife, and if the beauty picture is a portrait of the sect leader, there should be no connection." ”

Shen Lingjun held his forehead: "Could it be that it has been popular in Luoyang to draw pictures of beauties recently?" ”

The others shook their heads, they hadn't heard of it.

Su Musha asked Feng Zhengdao: "Where is the specific location of this Manichaeism, and how can I join?" ”
