564.Chapter 564: A Big Gamble!
I followed his gaze and looked over, only to see that on the other side of the teahouse, several young people who looked beautifully dressed were talking, this is close to the Gongyuan, it is common for such young people to have such a young man in the teahouse, but he has thick eyebrows and a solemn face.
I was puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
"Did you hear what they were just saying?"
"Nope." Just now I was thinking about my own business, and I didn't pay attention to my surroundings at all.
Before I could react, he had already gotten up and walked to the table, smiling and arching his hand: "A few friends." ”
When the young people looked at his clothes, they also knew that he was not an ordinary person, so they got up and gave their hands one after another: "What is this brother doing?" ”
"I just heard a few people discussing the noble words of "Corpse", and I am reading this classic today, and I want to hear your opinions."
Seeing his humble attitude, those people did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "This brother is serious. We just came back from the Yuchun Tea Society, and we heard someone talk about it there on a whim, and we didn't have any high opinions. ”
"Oh, Yuchun Tea Society?"
He raised his eyebrows, and the people became more and more interested in him, and asked cautiously, "I don't know where this brother is high?" ”
"Down there's the people from the Governor's Mansion."
"The Governor's Mansion?"
As soon as they heard these three words, the entire teahouse was stunned, and they all turned their heads to look here.
Immediately, someone whispered: "Aren't the people from the Governor's Mansion supervising the examination in the Tribute Court today?" Who is this one? ”
"Shhhhhh We saw at the gate of the Gongyuan just now, he is the captain of the light car, and he is still the apprentice of the university scholar Fu Badai! ”
"Oh? Why is he here? ”
"Yes, strange, didn't he say that he would supervise the examination in the Gongyuan and strictly prevent fraud in the examination room? Do you say—"
This year's imperial examination is not only staring at the people in the court, but also staring at the whole world, and it is not really idle to come to drink tea near the Gongyuan in such a heavy snow, and they are more or less concerned about the imperial examination, and these people suddenly smelled a strange breath and stared at him closely.
Liu Qinghan was very calm, and still smiled: "Then I won't disturb a few Yaxing." ”
After speaking, he turned around, his face had changed drastically in an instant, and he hurriedly walked downstairs, I heard their conversation and already felt something, and was busy following him, as soon as he got out of the teahouse, he immediately walked to the stable and untied the reins and turned over the horse, just turned the horse's head, I had already walked over and looked up at him: "Are you going to Yuchun Tea Society?" ”
He rode on his horse, looked into the distance, shook his head, and said, "The Gongyuan has been closed, and if you go over at this time, I'm afraid that everyone has already run away." ”
"Then you-"
"Go back to the Tribute Courtyard first."
After he finished speaking, he looked at me again, as if gritting his teeth, and leaned down and stretched out his hand to me.
My heart skipped a beat.
His hands appeared rough and thick, and like his deep voice, there was a strange temperature: "Come up!" ”
Looking at his dark eyes through the falling snow, my heart jumped.
I held out my hand.
It is uncomfortable to sit on a narrow horse, especially when the horse is galloping forward, as if it will be turned upside down at any moment.
However, as long as I gently lean back, my back, which was originally blown cold by the cold wind, can be attached to a warm and solid chest, which will iron my body with the slow ups and downs of breathing, bringing a burst of warmth.
and a sense of peace of mind.
I sat in front of the saddle, his hands around my body and the reins tightened, and he galloped all the time, and the wind swept the snow foam across my face, and there was a sting like a blade, and I subconsciously shrank a little.
He bowed his head slightly: "Cold? ”
"No, it's fine."
He was silent for a moment, his arms subconsciously folded a little, his head lowered, and a deep voice sounded in my ears: "Lean in a little." ”
His voice was in my ears, carrying the peculiar smell of his breath, the once familiar smell, which had not had time to be blown away by the cold wind, and thus permeated my nose.
I stiffened all at once.
Just now, he still called me Master Yue clearly, refusing to hold my hand, and even his eyes made me feel colder than the wind and snow at this time, but now, his body was so clearly warm, and even his smell was dyed on my body through the layers of clothes, and it was no longer something that I couldn't touch even if I straightened my hand.
Is it a dream? Or is this winter, passing too fast, and you can already feel spring?
I lost my mind for a moment, and the horse under my seat crossed a long street, and was about to turn the other side, when I was almost turned down by a violent bump, and subconsciously exclaimed: "Ahhh ”
Faster than my voice, it was one of his hands, which hurriedly took it and grabbed my waist hard.
For a moment, I couldn't hear the breath of the person clinging to me, I couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves, and even the noise in the surrounding streets was ignored by me, only my own heartbeat, bursting and violent, as if even my heart was about to burst out of my chest.
Hearing my sigh, he lowered his head: "What's wrong?" ”
I lowered my head, looking at the big rough hand around my waist, there seemed to be a trace of trembling, there was something inexplicably surging in my chest, I wanted to say something, but I was afraid that at this time, even if a word was wrong, this qiē would immediately disappear like waking up from a dream.
I muttered and said softly, "Who taught you horsemanship, really...... Not bad. ”
“……”
He was also silent for a while, and then said silently: "You don't know it." ”
I frowned slightly, and subconsciously looked up at him.
The wind and snow hit people, and his expression seemed to be frozen by such a temperature, and there was a little snow on his eyebrows, and there was a feeling of indifference.
That kind of indifference made me subconsciously shrink and grabbed his chest.
The teahouse is not far from the Gongyuan, and it is only a moment of galloping on the horse, but I feel as if I have been walking on this road for half my life, and when the horse stopped at the door, the horse's hooves stirred up a piece of snow foam in front of me, and I still had a feeling of waking up suddenly.
The hand on his waist had been released, and he rolled over and dismounted, then reached out to me: "Be careful. ”
I gritted my teeth and let him help me get off the horse.
The guards who were originally standing in the Gongyuan were a little puzzled when they saw the two of us coming back with abnormal expressions, but they didn't step forward, and as soon as the other people from the Governor's Mansion saw him, they all came over: "Lord Liu." ”
"How many times has the bell ringed inside?"
"It's the second time."
I glanced at him, and the second time, when he was distributing the exam papers, he groaned for a while, and immediately said: "You, immediately take someone to the various exits of the Gongyuan, and no one is allowed to come out without my order!" ”
When the two of them saw him, they felt as if something had happened, one immediately went down to give the order, and the other said carefully: "My lord, is something wrong?" ”
He didn't speak, but said in a deep voice: "You go and transfer the rest of the garrison now!" ”
The man gave the order, glanced at him, and immediately turned away.
When the man rode away, Liu Qinghan took me to the gate of the Gongyuan, and the guards were already a little strange when they looked at his series of actions, and at this time they immediately stepped forward to stop him and said, "Lord Duwei." ”
He said in a deep voice: "This official suspects that there is favoritism and malpractice in this scientific expedition, and he wants to go in and investigate it thoroughly." ”
When those people heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they glanced at each other, but they still said: "The tribute court has been sealed, this is the rule of the imperial court, and no one is allowed to enter or leave again." ”
Liu Qinghan listened, turned his head to look at me, and suddenly smiled: "Lord Yue, you and I are a Jixian Hall orthography and a light car captain, and we have become anyone." ”
I was as good as a stream, and took a step forward and said: "You have to make it clear, Lord Liu is appointed by the emperor to supervise this scientific examination, if something really big happens in the examination room, which of you can afford it?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the beat of a drum inside, and it was already time to prepare for the distribution of the exam papers.
Qinghan and I immediately frowned, and those people stopped in front and said, "No matter what, the examination room has been sealed, and no one can enter again!" ”
Liu Qinghan's face flashed with anger, and as soon as he raised his hand, he saw the long whip in his hand circling in the air like a poisonous snake, making a loud whistle, and those people were so frightened that they shrank a little.
"Get out of the way!"
At this moment, behind him was a team of people from the Governor's Mansion, and Liu Qinghan didn't reply and ordered: "Show me them!" ”
"Yes!"
The people of the Governor's Mansion hurriedly stepped forward to restrain those people, and he took me forward, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard had been sealed, and the door had been bolted inside, and he waved his hand and said, "Knock on the door!" ”
When the people from the Governor's Mansion heard this, they looked at the seal on the door, but they still hesitated, and just about to say something, Liu Qinghan had already spoken: "If there is anything the emperor to blame, this official will bear it." Bump! ”
When those men received the order, they were no longer afraid, and when they came forward, they heard a bang, and the door was slammed open.
But as soon as he looked up, he saw that inside the open gate of the cave, Ouyang Yu had already heard the sound and walked over with a few officials, and when he saw that it was him, he immediately said angrily: "Liu Qinghan, now that the exam is about to start, what are you going to do when you break open the gate of the Gongyuan?!" ”
Liu Qinghan didn't look at him, walked straight forward, and went up the steps in front, which was already the examination venue, and he said as he walked: "This official suspects that someone has cheated on personal gain and leaked the examination questions in this imperial examination, so the examination room must be strictly inspected." Come on, block all exits, and watch every candidate! ”
"Yes!"
The people from the Duwei Mansion hurriedly rushed up, and when Ouyang Yu heard this, his face turned dark, and he said angrily: "You are so bold, you have the fault of favoritism and fraud, you should also play the emperor, and it will be decided by Long live, how can you be allowed to go wild here?!" ”
"Your Majesty?" Liu Qinghan turned his head to look at him, and said coldly: "This official is the emperor's hand-picked guardian of this scientific expedition, and there is favoritism, and this official took the stolen goods from the court to play the court." ”
"Stolen goods?"
Ouyang Yu sneered suddenly: "You want to come here to get the stolen goods?" What if you can't get it? ”
Liu Qinghan said: "This official has conclusive evidence, I can't get it if I don't believe it!" ”
While speaking, the two of them had already gone up the steps, and the dense examination houses in the empty square in front of them came into view, those candidates didn't know what was going on, they all looked at this side in horror, and the people and horses of the Governor's Mansion had already stepped forward to see each shed.
Ouyang Yu suddenly stretched out a hand and stopped in front of Qing Han: "Lord Liu, if you want to take the stolen goods, the official can't stop you, who made you the captain of the light car appointed by the emperor." It's just-" He looked at him, "I can't get it, what should I do?" ”
can't get it, not to mention anything else, just Liu Qinghan ruined the seal at the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, which is already a big crime!
At this time, someone from the Governor's Mansion next to him stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "My lord, is there really someone cheating?" What if—"
The voice of the speaker became lower and lower, and Liu Qinghan's brows became tighter and tighter.
Everyone knows what kind of big crime it is to disturb the scientific research of the Gongyuan.
I stood behind him, and as soon as I looked up, I saw a little imperceptible smile in the corner of Ouyang Yu's eyes, cold but full of confidence.
Liu Qinghan's footsteps froze.
This time, the two of them stood there as if they were facing each other, and in the invigilation hall in the distance, there seemed to be someone passing the word, but Fu Badai hadn't come over yet, on the side of the huge examination room, Liu Qinghan and Ouyang Yu You looked at me, I stared at you, but none of them refused to relax.
At this time, the official in charge of distributing the examination papers cautiously walked down from the front, and just about to say something, Liu Qinghan twisted his eyebrows, suddenly raised his hand, and whipped it down fiercely.
Hearing only the sound of "pop", a stack of rolls in the man's hand was forcibly pulled into two pieces from the middle by the whip, and the confetti flew all over the sky, like the falling snow, permeating everyone's side.
Ouyang Yu said angrily: "Liu Qinghan, you dare-"
I was speechless with astonishment, my eyes widened as I watched the confetti and snow fall around me, and in the midst of the chaos, his eyes were exceptionally bright and ruthless.
"If you can't find the stolen goods, this official will ask the emperor for guilt!"
After speaking, he waved his hand: "Search for me!" ”
