Duan Lizheng could naturally notice his brother's gaze.

He is a practitioner.

I don't mean to look down on my brother when I say that.

When Duan Lizheng was very young and ignorant, under the influence of his mother and relatives, he did despise his brother who had no cultivation talent.

But he soon realized his stupidity.

It is true that the elder brother is not a cultivator, and he can't feel many things that Duan Lizheng can feel.

But there are many things that my brother can see, and he can't feel them.

After suffering a few times, Duan Haochu became the person Duan Lizheng admired the most when he was a child, and this longing has continued to the present.

After saying goodbye to his proud and stupid childhood, he had not felt terrible about his brother's sharpness for a long time.

Until this moment.

Duan Lizheng's heart was filled with a cold chill.

Before Duan Haochu looked at it, Duan Lizheng himself didn't notice when there was a crack in his shirt.

Naturally, this opening was left by the fierce night activity that preceded it.

Enough to be a clue.

But just as Duan Lizheng's heart was pounding, his eyes were only slightly surprised to look at his brother.

Then he looked at the crack on the placket of his clothes, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Just the right amount of chagrin.

It's like just a teenager who feels ashamed that he doesn't know when he tears his clothes.

He could neither pretend not to see, nor to hesitate or waver.

Because Duan Haochu knew that Duan Lizheng could find his gaze.

This brother can use all the information he knows, and the brains of those who oppose him must be able to turn many turns in an instant.

For example, the brother's gaze is a temptation in itself.

And you have to choose to cross this gaze.

Go head-to-head with your brother.

To protect her.

Duan Shangshu's gaze only stayed for a very brief moment.

It's really casual from start to finish.

The group of officials patrolling walked over, and with the sound of footsteps leaving, the young man's eyes were slightly condensed.

He won't be able to tell everything about his big brother.

Just as the eldest brother did to him.

In the dim light, the boy opened his eyes and sighed slowly.

"What about Huizhou Xie Yuan?"

The first words that the young official Shangshu said when he walked into the examination hall echoed in Duan Lizheng's ears again.

There is something between his eldest brother and his fiancée that he doesn't know.

While Duan Lizheng was suspicious of the relationship between his eldest brother and Zhu Luan, he also raised his heart.

This time the sampling inspection was indeed affected by the Miyagi fire, but Duan Lizheng felt that he was secretly coming at Zhu Luan.

She......

No problem, right?

……

……

The people of the ministry walked neither fast nor slow.

But after all, he made it to the building at the end of the hallway.

But it was the second time I came, and before that, a military attache walked around briskly.

It's going to be a second time, and it's going to be very hard.

The girl sat calmly in the number room, staring at the empty trumpet board with her cheeks bent, as if she had not noticed the slow flow of people.

It should be said that the flow of people is completely ignored.

With her realm, she already knew that someone was coming, but she didn't even want to pretend to be surprised when she walked up to her like an ordinary student and inadvertently looked up and was discovered.

Duan Haochu walked in front of the crowd, and the officials and military attachés of the Ministry looked around like hounds, and along the way, every candidate in the number room was looked up and down by them like a thief.

Some of the unnatural behaviors were lifted and carefully examined.

Walking here, the officials of the Ministry of Officials have already received too many surprised and forbearant glances.

But they have never encountered such a calm reaction anywhere.

In the face of the officials who came to inspect the suspicious eyes on their faces, the girl who was out of place in their eyes seemed to see nothing.

Treat officials as air.

But such behavior cannot be said to be suspicious.

In order to check all the candidates before, the officials of the Ministry of Officials just went all the way, but at this time, they wanted to stop.

If they could, they really wanted to suspect that the girl was suspicious.

After all, she was a woman who wandered into the sacred examination house.

She was the only woman in this huge space.

Isn't it suspicious that she is still sitting here in such a grand manner?

However, there are clear rules and regulations for the search of officials, and the suspicious behavior of the candidates is listed one by one.

The girl in front of her didn't hit any of them.

It's a pity.

In the absence of irregularities, officials and military attachés of the Ministry of Officials did not arbitrarily check the qualifications of candidates.

But among those present, there was one person who was eligible.

All the men's eyes were on Duan Haochu at the front.

At the same time, Duan Haochu, who has the secretary of the ministry and the deputy chief examiner of the examination.

If he suspects the woman, he can ask for an examination in his capacity as the examiner.

In fact, the military attache who was sent by Duan Haochu to see this woman before was sure that his own commander must be suspicious!

Why else would he have to check it?

Everyone pinned their hopes on Duan Haochu, and this was a rare opportunity to expel this woman who might destroy the tradition of the Great Zhou officialdom.

At this moment, the man who walked in front ......

Unexpectedly, it stopped.

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and even the ordinary man who was sleepy in the opposite house suddenly woke up, and looked at the large group of people who suddenly stopped.

The young official Shangshu stopped.

Then, turn around.

Quietly staring at the girl sitting in the number house.

Zhu Luan didn't look up.

Time stands still.

The smiles on the lips of the other officials who had been beaming with joy gradually disappeared.

Little by little, as time passed.

Their book did stop.

But...... Nothing was done.

The man just stood there and stared at the woman quietly, his eyes indifferent, but it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

At first, people thought that Duan Shangshu was looking for the suspicions in the woman, but the silence became longer and longer, and the doubts in their hearts became deeper and deeper.

The young Shangshu just looked at the girl sitting in the number house motionlessly, without speaking or moving.

What the hell is this doing?

Just after the doubts in everyone's hearts were getting bigger and bigger, Duan Haochu finally moved.

The man walked slowly to the girl who was sitting quietly.

Then, in full view of everyone, he stretched out his hand to her.

Just raise your hand slightly.

But for some reason, in the eyes of others, it was like wanting to touch the girl's face.

It's so far away, it's like everyone's collective hallucination.

His movements were stiff and slow, as if he was enduring something and as if he was restrained.

No one guessed what he wanted to do, because before he could finish his movements, the quiet voice of the girl sounded in the quiet air.

"Duan Shangshu, you can't go any further."

In the dim candlelight, the girl finally raised her head.

Compared to her eyes, any light here was inferior.

The officials who had been in such close contact with the girl for the first time were stunned.

Zhu Luan looked at Duan Haochu, who was standing one step away, and spoke softly.

"Please don't forget that you are now the official secretary of this country, and you are the chief examiner of the examination."

She paused, closed her eyes, and said.

"It's the country."

"The Minister."
