Chen Liu took Evian, the girl in orange.

Of course, he also took away the corpse, Master Jiang, Jiang Lin.

Zhang Chun, who came back from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, learned what happened in Zuimenglou, and did not react, and chased after Chen Liu.

He asked his colleagues in the yamen, probably knew some of the situation in Jiang Lin's family, and planned to talk to Chen Liu.

And at this moment, in the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites of Daliang, the prince Li Wan is discussing the chief examiner of this examination with Wang Lang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The examination is naturally the Jinshi subject, and the examination of strategy theory and poetry is the core of the imperial examination.

The exegesis of the scriptures belongs to the Ming Jing Section, although it is also quite important, but the status is still a lot weaker, and most of them are for the Guozijian and the Ministry of Rites to select some Ming Jing doctors.

As for the manufacturing of work and armor, the training of armor is directly assessed by the corresponding departments of the six departments, and the selection is made by the Holy Emperor.

These subjects are taken separately, and candidates can choose by themselves, but only Jinshi can take the palace examination, and there is a possibility of entering the center.

Although you can also become an official in other subjects, most of them are difficult to promote.

What the prince discussed with Lao Shangshu at this time was the candidate for the chief examiner of the Jinshi Section.

"In previous years, it was naturally the father's emperor's holy judgment, but this year, I have to consult Lao Shangshu."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Although the old man Wang is old, he does not dare to rely on the old and sell the old, and sell anything in front of the prince.

Although the gray beard has experienced vicissitudes, his mind is not confused at all.

Although the current situation of His Majesty the Emperor in the inner palace is unknown, it ...... You don't have to think about anything superfluous.

Even Old Man Yu pretended to be deaf and dumb in the cabinet, and the Ministry of Rites still didn't wade through the muddy waters.

The officialdom is an old fritter, and it is the best choice to protect yourself.

"Your Highness, in the past, the chief officer of the examination was generally the president of the Wenhua Pavilion University, the Ministry of Rites was assisted by the Weichen or the waiter, and the Guozijian sent the sacrificial wine to assist......"

Li Wan listened patiently, nodded from time to time, and asked Wang Lang to explain all the processes to him.

As a major examination to evaluate students all over the world, the examination is naturally arbitrary.

As one of the highest official titles given to civil officials in the Great Liang Dynasty, the Wenhua Pavilion Scholar was only given to the most learned people, or the civil servants who had made contributions to the state—the rank of military general was honored with the Martial Arts Scholar.

As the president of the examination, it has been a practice since the founding of the country, and Li Wan has no idea to change anything. As for the participation of the Ministry of Rites and the National Prison, there is nothing to say.

"This palace wants to ask the old man, can the prince ......"

When Wang Lang heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Taizu's legacy said that future generations, regardless of dignity or inferiority, should not interfere in the selection of the imperial examination. Only the palace examination can be studied with the emperor and hundreds of officials.

This old man is really afraid of what the prince wants to do.

After all, he is just a small Ministry of Rites!

Whether it is Taizu's legacy or the prince of the prison country, he can't be disobedient.

The neck is cold and the head falls to the ground, which is really a simple thing in the world.

However, Li Wan did not embarrass Wang Lang, he naturally knew that he could not disobey the last instructions of his ancestors, so he changed his words and said:

"Can this palace mention a person, please pay more attention to the boss?"

"Your Highness commands."

As long as it's not blatantly doing anything, opening a small door is not a big deal.

Wang Lang was thinking about how to mention the person mentioned by the prince, and when he mentioned the right position, a bronze bell hanging at the middle gate of the imperial capital rang, and the sound of chaos spread in all directions.

Li Wan and Wang Lang were surprised at first, and then laughed again.

"I don't know which gust of wind blew the gentleman of the academy over."

The prince didn't say the name, he thought about it, there was no need.

That person is talented, and as long as he participates in the examination, he will definitely be a blockbuster.

On the contrary, the academy, which had not been in contact with the imperial capital for many years, suddenly sent someone, which is even more noteworthy.

"Lord Wang is busy, and the academy is probably not good."

"Lord Wei, who wants to come to Guozijian, should have a headache even more."

"Yes."

One young and one old, one before and one behind, walking in the palace, there are a lot of thoughts.

Chen Liu, who walked to Jiang Lin's house, was startled by the bell for no reason, where should there be such a big bell in the capital, and it was not the emperor and queen who died.

Evian, who had changed into a thick, clean suit, noticed his astonishment and explained to him empathetically:

It is said that the bell was cast by the king of Lu to welcome the Holy of Holy, and whoever felt the purest majestic breath would ring the bell to greet him. However, later, the northern barbarians took the bell away, but later Taizu broke the barbarians, welcomed back the golden bell, and stood on the middle gate. If a person with a strong heart enters the city, he will automatically ring the bell to greet him. Maybe this is a great Confucian? ”

Chen Liu looked at the gushing Evian with some weirdness, and since she came out of the Drunken Dream Building, she seemed to be a lot more cheerful.

Of course, more importantly, how could she, a girl from Fireworks Willow Lane, understand this?

"The girl knows so much."

"I heard from my husband, and when I used to send my younger brother to school at home, I used to listen to it outside for a while. The gentleman was very open-minded, and did not drive me away, but deliberately opened the window to make me listen more carefully. But then ......"

Evian's expression suddenly darkened.

Later, in order to pay off his alcohol debts, her father not only made her younger brother drop out of school, but also sold her to the Drunken Dream Building......

At this time, Evian realized that he seemed to be a little out of shape, and when he saw Chen Liu's expression, his mind was even more confused, and he was afraid that he would think he was talking too much.

"Then this gentleman is very good, but it's a pity that you didn't read any further...... Well...... Do you want to read? ”

As a modern person, Chen Liu naturally wouldn't mind Evian's desire to share, nor would he deliberately poke open the scar that he had already guessed. Naturally, he spoke to her and asked her what she thought.

"I want to, but I don't dare to think about it."

Ever since she was sold to Drunken Dreams, Evian has resigned herself to her fate.

Not to mention studying, she doesn't dare to expect even a normal life.

Perhaps, as "Mom" said, picking up people and receiving people is Lao Zhuhuang, and if you are lucky enough to meet a rich old man to redeem her home, or become a concubine, or become a maid who waits; If you are unlucky, you can't pick up customers one day, and you accidentally fall into the water, and you can also help "Mom" have food money left.

Studying, that is a dream that only a rich lady can have, how can a lowly Qinglou woman like her have such delusions.

Chen Liu saw the fleeting hope in Evian's eyes, and the ensuing deeply suppressed haze, hesitated for a while, and said:

"If you want, I can teach you to read in a while. If you don't want to, wait a few days, and I can help you find a place and a gentleman. Of course, your brother can also come if you wish. ”

The head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion naturally does not have this ability, but from the soul of modern times, standing on the shoulders of thousands of years of sages, everything is possible.

Before Evian could come out of the surprise, doubt, and trouble, the two of them were already standing outside the door of that old man's mansion.

"Here we are."

The little guy who transported the corpse in the back saw the place, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Liu and stayed away from this obscure thing as soon as possible.

Chen Liu naturally ignored them and let them leave.

The door of Liu's Mansion was closed, and there was no sound inside, which seemed a little unnatural at noon.

"Bang bang bang!"

Chen Liu knocked the knocker, but the sound of knocking did not let the owner open the door, but attracted a few neighbor aunts who watched the excitement.

When they saw Chen Liu's official dress, they began to guess what had happened.

After talking about it, I probably forgot to look at the aside, let alone think of the common straw mat wrapped up, what should be wrapped.

Chen Liu ignored them, and when he found that no one answered for a long time, he planned to turn over the wall and go in to have a look.

"You wait outside for a while."

"Huh? Oooh oh. ”

The absent-minded Evian agreed casually, and when he looked up, Chen Liu had already jumped onto the wall and jumped into the door of the mansion.

Ever since he kicked the big man away, Chen Liu felt as if he had pierced a certain layer of window paper, and his physical fitness seemed to have made a big leap.

He vaguely felt that he might have made a breakthrough in some aspects, which seemed to be a bit in line with the Jiupin Wufu written in the yellow book.

Wufu, one practice skin, flesh, muscles and bones, two practice spiritual sense and five tricks, three practice blood meridians, four practice artistic conception, four practice eight products, and one product becomes respected, and it is one.

These four exercises carry out the cultivation of martial arts body, qi refining, and spirit forging until the first grade, and are the most important practices.

Nine products into the product, the first four exercises, often have a significant leap compared with the ordinary human physique. Power, speed, reflexes, bounces...... There will be people far beyond the ordinary.

It's like before, Chen Liu would never have been able to jump on such a high wall so easily, and he had to use something to climb in.

In that case, there will be no handsome feeling at all, although there are only two aunts outside who give a few shouts.

At this time, Chen Liu had already broken through the first pass of martial arts cultivation and became a martial artist in the physical realm.

This is the same as what is written in the book, but it is different.

Although it is not as difficult as that of Buddhist and Confucian monks, it is not so simple.

When a martial artist enters the nine grades, he needs to stimulate his qi and blood and stimulate his mood.

Needless to say, qi and blood naturally have nothing else, and boiling qi and blood are necessary to take the road of martial arts.

But unlike Buddhism and Confucianism, martial artists do not need to restrain their own state of mind, but to stimulate it, without the state of mind of being angry and a certain desire to pursue, it is difficult for martial artists to have the ambition and belief to fight with the sky, and naturally there is no possibility of going against the sky.

However, because of this, without the help of a martial artist who has already entered the product, the newcomer is likely to have a reverse flow of qi and blood, and his mood will be confused, resulting in disordered meridians.

Originally, Zhang Chun planned to be a protector for Chen Liu once, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left for a while, Chen Liu stepped into the martial arts nine grades under mood fluctuations.

At this time, after Chen Liu landed, he looked left and right at the surrounding environment, and did not find anything unusual.

The whole courtyard is clean, and although the rooms are mostly closed, there is nothing unusual about them.

The hall facing the door is open, and the tables and chairs inside are also very neat, and there is a statue of a Bodhisattva in the center, and the incense burner has burned out, leaving only the wooden stick with a red background.

Chen Liu walked into the hall and accidentally touched a silk thread that was not visible to the naked eye.

Then, everything changed in front of his eyes.
