Chapter 665: Assassin
With the start of the imperial examination, Xiao Rui and others, who had been locked up for two months, finally saw the light of day.
"Whew...... It's nice to be free! ”
Taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Xiao Rui turned around and arched his hand to several co-authors: "Everyone, it's been a hard work. It is very rare to get along for two months, everyone will go back to reunite with their families first, and wait for the end of the imperial examination in a few days, Ben Hou will hold a banquet in the drunken immortal building, you must come. All brought their families to celebrate everyone's hard work for months. ”
"Hahaha, Master Hou is magnificent, then the lower official will not shirk. The food of the drunken fairy building, the children are talking about it all day long. ”
"Food? In the past two months, I have been with Hou Ye, and Hou Ye has cooked by himself, that is the food! It's just that the Drunken Immortal Building doesn't have this level. ”
"Yes, I'm afraid that if I go to the Drunken Immortal Building in the future, I won't be able to eat that taste."
……
Xiao Rui scolded with a smile: "You are all great sages in the world, in my opinion, one by one is more like an old fox." There is no need to detour around the bend, when the time comes, Ben Hou will personally cook and add two dishes to each table, so that you don't have to say that I am stingy. ”
"Hahahaha...... Thank you, Lord Hou. Then I'll wait to say goodbye, and there will be a date later. ”
"There will be a date later!"
……
Fang Er helped Xiao Rui into the carriage, and then he sat in the coachman's seat by himself, "Brother Xiao, where are we going?" Entering the palace? Or go home? ”
Xiao Rui complained: "After discussing knowledge with a group of old masters for two months, it was boring and stuffy. What do you do when you re-enter the palace? I can't say that I was arrested again and went to the imperial examination room. ”
Fang Er persuaded: "Brother Xiao, you initiated this imperial examination and threatened to defeat the five surnamed Qiwang." Success or failure in the past few days, or better to go and see, don't you worry? ”
Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Don't look at it, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the five surnames and seven hopes will be defeated sooner or later, if you don't work this time, next time." Let's go, let's go to the Champion Hou's Mansion and sleep beautifully. ”
Yes?
Go to bed? How do you sleep at this time?
……
But his dream was destined to come to naught, and as soon as he arrived at the Champion Hou's Mansion, before he entered the bedroom, Li Junxian hurriedly looked for it.
"Master Hou! Something went wrong. ”
Xiao Rui was surprised: "Fifth brother, what's going on so anxious?" In the past two days, who dares to make trouble in the Chang'an Imperial Examination? Isn't that looking for death? ”
Li Junxian smiled bitterly: "It's really looking for death." And it's our people. ”
Our people? Who?
"Pass! It was the poisonous snake that he chased from Bingzhou to Chang'an, and threatened to kill Wang Jishan desperately. You were in retreat, and your subordinates gave him a death order, telling him to wait for you to come out, but he didn't listen to the dispatch and was out of control. Moreover, he has a warrant for the Xiao family to act cheaply, so it is not easy to hunt down! ”
Xiao Rui held his forehead with one hand, indicating that he had a headache.
"It's really restless, this poisonous snake shouldn't have kept him in the first place. Wang Jishan, this kid is a bit crooked, if he can recover it for my use, it is also a sharp blade. The drawing and graphics passed the order, and everyone in the Xiao family in Chang'an City went all out to hunt for poisonous snakes. ”
"Wait...... Don't be that troublesome. Isn't he going to kill Wang Jishan? Then we can just wait and see. Send people to secretly protect day and night, and if you find traces of poisonous snakes, you can take them down first. ”
Li Junxian nodded heavily: "Yes, Wang Jishan has been organizing preparation for the exam under the protection of the imperial court before, and he has not shown up all day long. Now that the examination has begun, and the imperial court has fulfilled its obligation to protect, he has already made an appearance. But instead of living in the mansion of the Taiyuan royal family, he rented a secluded inn. I'm going to arrange for someone. ”
Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?
Even Xiao Rui didn't dare to say that it was foolproof, and Wang Jishan's life and death were not so important to him, so he didn't use all his strength in terms of arrangement. Otherwise, he will directly send Fang Er over, let the poisonous snake Zheng Zi and a person, and it will be impossible for him to succeed if he is exhausted.
Two days later, there were many people gathered at the entrance of the imperial examination room, all of whom came to pick up the candidates.
No one expected that the first person to come out was Di Renjie, who was late.
Liu Jinyuan, who was maintaining order at the door, asked puzzledly: "There is still an hour before the end of the exam, why did you submit the paper in advance?" ”
Di Renjie said confidently: "It's empty, it's all right!" What's the use of sitting there for an hour? It's better to go back early and have a big meal, the environment in the exam room is too simple. ”
Liu Jinyuan laughed and said, "You are free and easy." Still, how do you know you're writing all right? ”
Di Renjie smiled: "If you can't answer, or don't know whether it's right or wrong, then why bother filling it in?" I, Di Renjie, never try my luck. ”
Liu Jinyuan gave a thumbs up, "Good boy, crazy enough!" is worthy of being a student of Hou Ye. ”
At this moment, another person came out of the examination room, it was Li Jingren from Liangzhou.
"Huh? I thought I was the first to turn in early, but I didn't expect someone to be faster than me? Little brother, are you done with the exam questions? Isn't it too much, self-defeating? ”
Well?
Liu Jinyuan and Di Renjie turned their heads at the same time, looking at the stranger in front of them, Liu Jinyuan wanted to reprimand him, but Di Renjie spoke first.
"Hehe, no, the exam questions this time are too difficult and too difficult to answer at all. Instead of sitting there stupidly, it is better to come out early and eat something delicious. ”
Li Jingren patted Di Renjie's little brain melon appreciatively, "Okay, little brother, the lost east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, so free and easy at a young age." Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a Chang'an person. If you don't dislike it, go, my brother will take you to a big dinner, I grew up in Chang'an City since I was a child, and I know what delicious food I want to eat. ”
"Really? I heard that the best food in Chang'an City is the West City Zuixian Building, but unfortunately I am too poor to afford to eat, brother, can you take me there? Di Renjie looked pitiful.
Li Jingren patted his chest and said, "No problem! I'm very familiar with the Drunken Immortal Building. Look at your fate, go, my brother has a treat, and you can order whatever you want. ”
Uh-huh, thank you big brother.
The two walked out shoulder to shoulder, and Di Renjie didn't forget to turn around and wink at Liu Jinyuan.
Liu Jinyuan smiled bitterly: "This kid, ghost spirit!" It's so easy to mix up a big meal. I don't know whose stupid son that kid was just now? I hope that when I get to the Drunken Immortal Building in a while, don't feel sorry for my money bag. ”
As someone took the lead in handing in the papers, many geniuses also followed, and more and more people came out of the examination room.
Just like Di Renjie said, what you can do is done early, and if you can't do the questions, you will sit stupidly for an hour, and there will be no drama.
A group of brothers from Xiaojiazhuang came out one by one, all waiting for each other, and it was rare to come to Chang'an City, and everyone made an appointment to celebrate in the city.
But the most eye-catching thing that came out of the examination room was not this group of people, but the sixty people united by the Wang family in the clouds. There is no way, sixty people, a swarm, and it is a family, and it is dazzling everywhere you go. Since they came to Chang'an and were taken special care by the imperial court, they have become celebrities in the limelight.
"The head of the house, where is the head of the house!" The group saw Wang Jishan in the crowd at a glance, and their hearts were moved, and the head of the family actually came to pick everyone out in person.
Wang Jishan squeezed out the crowd and greeted him with a smile.
Before he could say hello, a murderer in ordinary clothes suddenly rushed out of the crowd with a short dagger, stabbed Wang Jishan violently, and stabbed Wang Jishan in the back of the heart.
"Head of the house!" A group of children of the Wang family were stunned, how could they not have imagined that there would be assassins at the door of this examination room? And it's impartial, as if it's for the head of the family? Who is so hateful to the head of the family?
