Outside Chang'an City, in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers in the northeast, a new tomb looks at Chang'an City alone.

Xiao Rui, under the escort of Li Junxian, walked over slowly, looking at the incense ash that had not yet burned out in front of the tombstone, it should have been worshiped by someone not long ago.

took out the incense candle paper money from the bamboo basket he brought, Xiao Rui found a stone next to him and sat down, Li Junxian opened the food box in his hand, and put two meat and two vegetables on it, and then put the paper money in front of the tombstone little by little and ignited it.

Xiao Rui picked up the wine jug with his own hands and poured two glasses of wine, one was sprinkled in front of the grave, and the other was drunk by himself.

"Wang Gongzi, hehe, I didn't expect me to come to see you, right? Actually, I didn't expect it either. ”

"Looking back, you and I seem to have only met once, or when we worked together to solve the case, we avoided you from being calculated by Zheng Zihe."

"I, Xiao Rui, are your demons, and you, Wang Jishan, are Zheng Zihe's demons. Hehe, the three of us are really entangled in fate. ”

"If you have always been the sister-in-law of the Taiyuan Wang family, then I can act mercilessly. Who would have thought that the will of heaven would make people, you went to the clouds in order to defeat me, and you originally wanted to create a group of strange soldiers, but you didn't expect that the teaching would grow together, and in the clouds for a year, you were gradually assimilated by them, and began to break away from the Taiyuan Wang clan. ”

"As a descendant of five surnames and seven hopes, you can abandon your noble background and stand up after breaking down, which is as great as that Zheng Zihe. But he is not as good as you, he is just for the hatred in his heart, and you have let go of your hatred at the last moment and chose to help the Wang clan in the clouds wholeheartedly. Xiao Rui admires! ”

"At the beginning, Xiao also planned to reconcile with you and ask you to be the gentleman of the academy in the future. Compared with your teaching level, I, Xiao Rui, the world's number one teacher, have too much water. ”

"I wonder if you'd like to?"

In the fantasy, Xiao Rui suddenly laughed, Wang Jishan is not Zheng Zihe, this prince is open-minded, if he knew that he won the imperial examination this time, he should be able to eliminate the demons in his heart. Then I look at the thatched house again and again, there should be hope.

"Alas...... It's a pity! ”

Seeing Xiao Rui sighing regretfully, Li Junxian persuaded and said, "Master Hou, Wang Gongzi was smiling when he left. There should be no regrets, so don't be too sad. ”

At this moment, on the mountain road not far away, footsteps came.

An old taunt, "Humph! Killed someone, and came to pay respects? If a person dies, he won't let it go, this is the strength of the champion Hou? ”

Xiao Rui and Li Junxian turned their heads and saw that it was Wang Jishan's uncle, Wang Si.

Li Junxian retorted: "Wang Shangshu, although the Hou Ye and Wang Gongzi are in different camps, they cherish each other and take them as confidants. How can Shangshu hurt people? You are the uncle of Wang Gongzi, and you are not afraid of disturbing the undead? ”

Wang Si sneered: "Okay, well, General Li has followed the champion Hou for many years, but he has also practiced a pair of sharp teeth. ”

You......

"Fifth brother! Retire. ”

Xiao Rui stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and arched his hand and said, "Since Wang Shangshu doesn't want to see Xiao, then let's leave." ”

He thought the same as Li Junxian, and he didn't want to disturb the undead.

Li Junxian packed up the plate and food box, and guarded it aside.

Xiao Rui stood in front of the tombstone and bowed, "Don't worry, Prince Wang, Xiao Rui will try his best to do what you entrust on your deathbed." The children of the Wang family in the clouds, I will take care of it. ”

When Wang Si heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Children of the Wang family in the clouds? Don't bother with it! That's a member of my Wang clan, and my nephew Ji Shan once entrusted me to avenge the Wang family in Yunzhong, which is a fact. It is enough to prove that the feelings of the same race have been recognized. They deserve to belong to us. It is said that Hou Ye is a righteous gentleman, and it is not a gentleman's style to snatch other people's teaching achievements like this. ”

Xiao Rui sighed and said: "Your Excellency is the prince and uncle, you should know better than me who he is." He entrusted the children of the clouds to Ben Hou on his deathbed, although you are not at the scene, you should not be so presumptuous. If you don't respect the wishes of the deceased, hehe...... Aren't you afraid of nightmares at night when he comes to you? ”

You......

Wang Si was choked a lot, but Xiao Rui floated away with Li Junxian.

Li Junxian said worriedly: "Master Hou, although you promised to take care of those people, they will obviously count Wang Jishan's death on your head, so they are not afraid of raising tigers, and they will retaliate in the future?" ”

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "I take care of them out of public intentions and for the country." Their revenge is a private matter, so let him be. The sixty talents of the Wang family in the clouds, I don't believe that they are all confused worms, there are always those who distinguish between right and wrong. ”

"Alas...... The hearts of the people in the world are treacherous, and I am not worried that they will be suppressed, but I am only worried that they will be blinded by hatred and then used by others. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the Criminal Department."

"The Criminal Department? Childe, is there anything wrong with going to the criminal department? ”

"Hehe, the court will publicly admit its guilt, and I will go to the criminal department to receive punishment, and I, Xiao Rui, can't break my word."

Yes? But who dares to convict you?

In front of the lonely grave on the barren mountain, looking at the tombstone of his most beloved nephew, Wang Si couldn't help but burst into tears.

After a long time, Wang Si stroked the tombstone and sighed: "Child, don't blame your uncle for being ruthless, he has stood for hundreds of years, the Wang family has many enemies, if it collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable!" You can't watch our royal family fall apart and finally be eaten away by others. ”

……

In the Taiji Palace, the emperor is summoning the person who reveals the secret.

"Father, what Master Liu said is very reasonable. But Erchen has a doubt: most of the gentlemen in the government-run school are those who failed the scientific examination three years ago, and they are all from poor families. Even after three years of hard study, without the guidance of a famous teacher, how much can you grow? But more than 200 people were on the list at once, which obviously did not meet their level. ”

Prince Li Chengqian raised a question.

In this regard, Director Liu shook his head and said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this question cannot be answered by the lower officials." Maybe Hou Ye has another means. ”

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "There is no problem with the imperial examination questions, the Confucians from the families who participated in the proposition, if there are ghosts in the examination questions, it is impossible to pass the proposition." ”

Mr. Liu couldn't answer.

Li Er snorted coldly: "Cheng Qian, you go for a trip." ”

"Huh? Father, isn't it, for such a trivial matter, he made a special trip to consult his brother-in-law? Erchen thought that his brother-in-law deliberately left a puzzle for us, just to add some fun. Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed to go.

Li Er scolded with a smile: "Where is it for this little thing? ”

"At the beginning, the Qinghe Cui clan had a word first, if we can defeat them openly in the imperial examination, then they will personally send their beloved daughter. Now that the water is clear, it's time for them to fulfill their promises. You're not too young, it's time to get married. Your brother-in-law's big media, can he do it if he doesn't come forward? ”

Hearing this, Li Chengqian frowned, he also wanted to get married early, Sister Ning'er has waited for so many years, and she will become an old girl.

"Get the order, son, go now."

At this moment, the chamberlain Lao Gao walked out, "Your Majesty, Master Hou is not in Xiaojiazhuang." He's in prison at the Ministry of Punishment. ”

"Huh? What did he do when he went to the prison of the Criminal Department? ”

"At the palace test meeting a few days ago, Hou Ye admitted in public that he had privately protected Zheng Zihe, a condemned prisoner, so he ...... He went to the penal department to receive the punishment himself. The Criminal Department did not know how to determine the case, so it was only temporarily detained. ”

Li Er's face darkened, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, you have to give an explanation, otherwise how will the Datang Law be implemented in the future?" ”

"Cheng Qian, then you will go to the prison of the Criminal Department. It will take a while to prepare for the wedding ceremony or something. By the way, bring a message to the Criminal Department to find a suitable law, and you can't just put it aside. ”

Li Chengqian almost laughed out loud, and said in his heart, aren't you embarrassed by the Punishment Department? If they could find the right law, they would have done it a long time ago. But the Tang Dynasty is in front, so it can't be rewritten or compiled, right?
