Chen Shiyi is the most inexplicable and depressed one.

He followed behind Yue Ning'an, passing through several courtyards, and he was about to get lost in the mountains, so he came to Zhizi Courtyard.

According to the room number list, an uninhabited wing room was obtained. The doors and windows of the house face east, and the windows are clean and spotless, and the cleanliness is unexpectedly clean.

"It's been a year or so, and the miscellaneous servants in the yamen have been a lot more diligent."

Yue Ningan sat at the round table, picked up the teapot on the table and shook it, there was tea in it, it was still warm. but if it was sent by a steward or a subordinate. Turning over the teacup, he poured a cup for Chen Shiyi. I just picked up the teapot and drank it to my mouth.

In early summer, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and even in the mountains, the sun is still hot and sweaty, and it is wilting and unable to keep up. This herbal tea is really timely.

As a result, before half a cup of tea was done, I saw a young man holding a futon coming in from outside, wearing the same black lieutenant uniform as Yue Ning'an.

This person stepped into the door half a step, and saw Chen Shiyi, who had just put down the tea cup from his mouth, and Yue Ning'an, who was drinking tea with a spout, and his body suddenly froze, and he trembled involuntarily.

Then, without speaking, he directly swung his fist and rushed towards the young man who was closer to the door.

Chen Shiyi was startled, what was wrong with this person, he didn't say anything, he just added his fists and kicks.

It wasn't until he alarmed his colleagues in the yamen that everyone gathered around and gossiped that the young man figured out what was going on.

After all, when he first arrived, the stool had not yet been hot, and the young man felt aggrieved. So while dodging the other party's attack, he discussed with him.

"Is that the house you want to live in? I don't know, I'll just change my place. ”

"We didn't use that teacup on purpose, I'll just wash it for you."

"It's really not good, I'll pay you a new set."

"Is a tael of silver enough? …… It's not enough for you to speak, what's the matter if you can't talk? ”

"Is five taels enough? Ten taels! Ten taels is always fine, right?! ”

Chen Shiyi was still counting on bargaining with the other party, and Yue Ning'an's words outside the venue directly made him desperate: "Chen Shiyi, it's over, that set of things belongs to the official kiln of the previous dynasty, if you really want to pay for it, it will cost more than a thousand taels of silver." ”

"What! More than a thousand taels?! Who would spend so much money on a few cups, sick?! ”

When the young man heard more than a thousand taels of silver, his face was distorted, but he couldn't see it with a mask.

As soon as the words fell, the onlookers burst into laughter, and the opponent's attack immediately became more violent.

The two of them tangle from the house to the patio and chase from the patio to the roof.

Chen Shiyi's anger finally came up.

"No matter who you are, if you beat me again, you can fight back!"

Yue Ning'an saw that Chen Shiyi was going to move seriously, and Zhang Luo, who was familiar with the road, started to make a deal: "The captain of the school against the rookie boy, win one and lose three!" Buy and go! ”

"Yue Ning'an, I haven't seen you for more than a year, your brain is in water? The lacquer carving is the first to win the great consummation, will it lose to the masked ghost? Haha, Lao Tzu will kill you today! One hundred taels! ”

"Fifty taels, buy lacquer carving first!"

"I'll be one hundred taels, and I'll also buy lacquer carving first!"

"I'm thirty taels ......"

"Yo, Lord Qi, you're here too. What, you're betting on that kid to win too?! ”

Yue Ning'an was not happy, and whispered to Qi Wuya: "My lord, my subordinates can't earn a lot of money, so don't come to mix." ”

"Either you accept my bet, or you count it as a blatant gamble in your yamen. It's up to you to do it yourself. ”

“……”

Qi Diao first listened to the noise of the people below, his eyes were red, anger rose from his heart, and evil was born to the side of his guts.

I only heard him shout: "Boy, look at the knife!" ”

The killing intent was immediately pervasive all around, and the sword light rippled out from the lacquer carving first's hand like water waves, like ripples, like ocean waves, like a dream, layer upon layer towards Chen Shiyijuan.

Qi Wuya looked at it below, and now it was stable, and Chen Shiyi's most familiar knife technique was the "Dream Shattering Knife". This kid had already sharpened the twenty-one sword intents he had left in his body. If it is said that only with the Dream Shattering Sword Technique, the entire Chongli Division can defeat him by a handful.

Sure enough, in an instant, the sword light in the sky suddenly disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that the long knife in Qi Diaoxian's hand was only three inches away from Chen Shiyi's head, it proved that he had indeed made a move, otherwise, those rippling waves of sword light would have never appeared before.

……

The lacquer carving first felt that life was worse than death.

He is not afraid of death. As a martial artist, he is an official family meal that licks blood with a knife, and life and death have long been out of his mind. But the tree needs the bark, and the man needs the face. In front of everyone's eyes, in the face of an unknown teenager, losing like this is really worse than killing him.

The people around, whether they were persuading or watching the excitement, looked at the young man in the field as if they had seen a ghost.

I saw a long and shiny knife pointed at the throat of the lacquer carving first, and the mirror-like blade reflected a frightened and colorless face. No one knows when the knife appeared, as if it had been there since the beginning of the battle and had never been moved.

The knife is very beautiful, and the Qi people on the sidelines can even tell the regulation of this knife with their eyes closed: the knife is three feet three inches long, of which the blade is two feet long, one inch wide, three points thick, and the blade is like a flood of autumn water.

Knife name: Green Waist.

At this time, this knife was pressed against Qi Diaoxian's throat and held in Chen Shiyi's hand.

"Do you want to fight?" The young man asked coldly.

“......”

"Even if we take your things without telling us, and there is a mistake in the first place, but we have beaten it, and we should be angry and dissipated."

Just when it was difficult for the lacquer carving to ride the tiger first, there was a sudden noise below, and Qi Wuya shouted to Chen Shiyi: "Chen Shiyi, come down quickly, the yamen has opened for inspection." ”

The young man put away his knife and went down to the roof, and asked Qi Wuya, "My lord, what kind of inspection?" ”

"The internal assessment of the Chongli Division is divided into Beijing inspection and big plan, of which Beijing inspection test, big plan nuclear force, three years of inspection, six years of planning, set all levels of personnel promotion. In addition, it is the temporary hall inspection of each rank, just like the imperial court to take the scholar Kaienke, or two years, or three years, held irregularly. ”

At this time, Yue Ning'an came over in the crowd, secretly stuffed a few silver tickets into the hands of Lord Qi, and said to Chen Shiyi with a wink: "Thanks to you, my brother made a small fortune, and I will invite you to Chang'an City to drink and open your eyes." ”

He asked Qi Wuya again: "My lord, why is it called a hall inspection at this time?" There was no wind at all before. ”

"I don't know. Maybe ......" Lord Qi turned his head and looked at Chen Shiyi: "It has something to do with him." ”

The young man was ignorant and made a difficulty: "This inspection is not difficult, I just came, I don't understand anything." ”

Yue Ningan smiled: "Don't worry, the hall inspection only looks at the force, regardless of anything else!" When the time comes, just fight to the death, and I won't really do anything to you. ”

The onlookers walked to the hall inspection office in twos and threes, and there were not only those who were full of excitement, but also those who sighed and sighed like mourning.

Only the lacquer carving stood alone on the roof, hanging the knife in his hand blankly, lifeless.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Can't stand it?" ”

Qi Diaoxian's eyes rolled a few times, and he found that there was one more person beside him, so he said gloomily:

"Lady Xiaoxiao......"

"You've had a smooth journey before. After two years in the company, he became an official to the foreman lieutenant, and he was a seven-grade official. In the past ten years, the two lists of Jinshi in the cold window will be filled when they are vacant, and they will be released out, the highest is only a seven-grade, how old are you, but the weak crown is indeed very good, and in the past half a year, it has been even more prosperous in the yamen. However, what does it mean that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people, and now we know? ”

"My ......, my lord"

"This official has watched you grow up, and over the years, he has been waiting for such an opportunity to allow you to see yourself clearly. But if you still have the slightest desire to catch up with that young man, start by getting rid of your problem that you don't know when! ”

"Yes!"

Chen Shiyi carried the bamboo basket on his back and followed everyone to the place where the hall was inspected.

Along the way, it attracted countless attention. The appearance of a masked teenager in Chongrei Division is enough to attract attention, not to mention, there is also a beautiful monkey who does not talk like a word.

When passing through a courtyard, I found that someone was executing, and more than 20 people who looked like eunuchs were watching the execution.

Yue Ning'an glanced at the back of the crowd, and saw the prisoner lying on the stool in the field, and only the prisoner who was beaten out of breath but not in breath, couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't this the little Guizi next to our father-in-law Yu, what happened?" ”

"I heard that it is ill-intentioned, divisive from the officials, and vain discussion of the government." The person in front of him didn't look back.

"Oh. Chen Shiyi, don't hide back, come here, I'll tell you about the doorway in this cane punishment. ”

Hearing this, the prison eunuch turned his head, glanced at the young man with some surprise, and said, "It turns out that you are Chen Shiyi." ”

"You know me?"

"I don't know. I just heard that the father-in-law of Qi Xuanqi, who was the original celebrant supervisor, beat a young man named Chen Shiyi because he made his own decisions, and was sent down by His Royal Highness King Wei. said that he was driven back to the capital, but for more than a year, no one came back. ”

Yue Ningan said: "Didn't you abscond in fear of crime? ”

When the prison eunuch heard this, he glanced at Yue Ning'an meaninglessly, and continued: "The Jin Wangfu also looked for it at the beginning. Later, the word came out directly, and it was also said that he had absconded in fear of crime, and if he was caught, he would be killed with a cane immediately. ”

As he was talking, the captain of the execution school over there had already lifted the prisoner high and held it in the air, and then he started to exert his strength and slammed the prisoner to the ground. The prisoners were long gone, the ground was covered with blood, and there were fragments of internal organs that the prisoners had vomited.

Chen Shiyi's face turned blue when he saw it, knowing that Yue Ning'an called him several times before he came back to his senses.

The prison eunuch said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the young man has a bad impression of this cane punishment. Also, these lieutenants were executed using military techniques, which was inevitably a little rougher. This cane punishment is a meticulous work, and if you have the opportunity to see the 'lung' technique of our inner court, it is called a delicate ......."

"What is 'lung'?" The boy was a little curious.

It turned out that the practice of cane punishment in the inner court was very exquisite. Tie two dolls with leather, put bricks on the inside and paper on the outside, and then dress them so that people can walk on them.

The paper-wrapped puppet is used to practice the technique of "heavy on the outside and light on the inside", and it is required that it looks like it is hit very hard, but the paper wrapped inside cannot be damaged.

The puppet with bricks is used to practice the technique of "light on the outside and heavy on the inside", which requires that it can be beaten lightly, and the clothes should not be damaged, but the bricks inside should be broken.

Those who walk the staff of the inner court are often proud of it.

"Rushing the lungs" is a kind of "light on the outside and heavy on the inside". From the outside, the beating is not heavy, and the buttocks are stretched upward, but the tortured person will vomit out the entire internal organs, especially the lungs, and can vomit out the whole thing.

When the boy learned the answer, his face turned even greener, but fortunately he wore a mask, so he couldn't see it.

"You can do it, only you are idle to study these flowers, and you are not panicked."

After speaking, Yue Ning'an ignored the smiling prison eunuch and dragged Chen Shiyi to the small school yard of the hall inspection.

But I didn't know that the prison eunuch looked at the backs of the three people, put away his smile, and sighed to himself a little lonely: Absconding for fear of crime? Hehe, I'm afraid that the grass on the grave is three feet high...... Why bother those who are left behind......

……

The place of the hall inspection is a quadrangle, the courtyard in the center is the small school field, the ground of the school field is in the shape of a field, paved with spring, summer, autumn and winter four seasons pattern, hundreds of brass grade mountains are horizontal and vertical, placed neatly and neatly, marking the position of the field in the shift. It is said that the main house on the north side is rarely opened, and the left and right sides of the patio are all five-span and three-room wings, and the general hall inspection is carried out in the wings.

There is a high platform at the north end of the small school field, at this time, there are already several red-robed officials standing on the high platform, there are a dazzling array of strange beasts and flying fish, and the rain prince is impressively in the column, and the captains under the stage are lined up, solemn and silent.

All those who entered the school grounds, whether they came to participate in the hall inspection or came to see the excitement, were infected by this solemn atmosphere, and they unconsciously shut up and stopped talking.

Qi Wuya looked at the people in Gao Taizhong, his eyes froze, and he muttered to himself: "Why did Lord Tongzhi come in person!" The summer officials and autumn officials have also arrived, and the solar term officials have come for four ......"

Then he said to Chen Shiyi: "The one standing next to Grandpa Yu on the stage is the Palm Seal Xia Guan. In the center is the Inner Court Celebrant Bingbi and the Tongzhi Chongli Si Wei, who is under one person and above ten thousand people in the yamen. It seems that this inspection is not simple, you have to do your best! ”

The young man nodded, followed Qi Wuya's instructions, and walked towards the middle mark of the field.

Soon, all the lieutenants and newcomers in the Ya have arrived.

"This official Wei Pi."

The clear voice of the Tongzhi adults resounded through the school.

"According to the order of Lord Sizheng, this time the newcomer captain in Beijing will be inspected first, the foreman captain in Beijing will be inspected in Beijing ten years later, and the hall will be inspected in Beijing hundred households and thousands of households after two decades; After the Midyear Festival, the autumn official led and inspected the Quartet, and the north and south longitude and latitude divisions and other provinces were inspected in turn. ”

"Martial artists in the world, if there is a person who enters the heavens and rushes to the realm, his family members have a seal in life, and there is a posthumous gift in death, three generations!"

"Those who enter the Tao with martial arts, seal the marquis, and rest with the country!!"

Chen Shiyi's ears were booming, all of them were his own wheezing, and he didn't hear what he said later, but he just thought in his heart, "There is a seal in life, and there is a posthumous gift in death", no matter what, he has to earn back a life for his mother.

was thinking about it crankily, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did the surroundings become quiet, it seemed that everyone was looking at him, Yue Ning'an was slapping his eyes at him, his expression was like constipation, and Qi Wuya was even more bruised on his forehead.

The young man looked ahead, and the cold sweat suddenly came down: It's bad, I don't know when, the monkey ran away, and they all ran to the stage, and they were being held in the arms of Master Wei, who knew the same thing, teasing it.
