Chapter 3: The Rise of the Wind and Clouds, the Road to Immortality Section 148: Kyoto Yuanfu

Li Chengjie went to the incense shop for a while, but the process was extremely difficult, but fortunately, the result was relatively satisfactory! No, as soon as Li Chengjie walked to the door of the Yuan Mansion, he saw two rows of servants standing in front of the Yuan Mansion.

Headed by Zhao Decai, the housekeeper in the mansion, saw Li Chengjie coming back, and took the lead in shouting, "Welcome the eldest prince back to the house, congratulations to the eldest prince for passing the entrance examination and entering the palace examination!

The servants in both rows also bowed down and shouted loudly. As if he was afraid that the neighbors and passers-by would not be able to hear clearly.

Sure enough, these dozens of people are in a voice.

A few people also ran out of the neighbor's house, and those who were walking on the street also stopped.

"Congratulations to Childe, enter the palace test. Pedestrians on the street also bowed their respects. They all know very well in their hearts that anyone who has passed the imperial examination and entered the palace examination, as long as they do not openly contradict His Majesty in the court, then they must have a bright future!

A few servants also ran out of the adjacent mansions of the Yuan Mansion, led by the housekeepers in their mansions, gathered around Li Chengjie, and said together, "My lord, I also congratulate my son in advance, I hope that my son can get His Majesty's deep favor in the future and Tengda as soon as possible." ”

Li Chengjie also stood where he thanked him one by one, and he still needed to do the due courtesy.

A total of 10 people were selected to enter the entrance examination, and nine of the nine mansions in Kyoto were like the Yuan Mansion.

Why did ten people enter the palace examination, and there were nine mansions? Naturally, there were two people in the Yuanfu and one mansion, and they were the first to take the lead! The two sons of the Yuanfu took the top two in the entrance examination, and they were selected to the palace examination together.

The speed at which this matter spread in Kyoto is not something that Li Chengjie can imagine.

Just after the express announcement of the Hanlin Temple, Kyoto was shaken because of the Yuanfu!

I haven't heard of it before.,There's a Yuanfu in Kyoto.,The Yuanfu of this Yuanfu.,Who must be the person?

It was also after the names of Li Chengjie and Mu Youzhi came out that the new name was excavated by those proficient news in Kyoto.

also inquired about Li Chengjie's apprenticeship in Chunfeng Lou clearly.

The storytellers in the teahouse were so happy. Only Li Chengjie and Mu Youzhi passed the palace examination three days later and were given official positions. No matter how big or small, Li Chengjie's deeds will immediately be hyped up by them!

All of a sudden, the "big mouths" on the streets and alleys are brewing their own scoops. In other words, it is more accurate to say "exclusive nonsense".

Under such a craze, Enfu will inevitably be known by all the famous people in Kyoto.

......

Li Chengjie thanked the enthusiastic people outside the mansion gate, and then returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the voice of the mountain.

"Master, you come back

"Renshan stood against the wall, looked at Li Chengjie happily, and then said.

"Well, why are you here! It's been a long time since you've seen you for a few days, where have you been?" asked Li Chengjie.

He also walked towards the mountain of people with a smile. Although Li Chengjie knew that Renshan was the identity of the second prince, but at this time Renshan was in the Yuanfu, and he also called himself a master, Li Chengjie regarded him as his humble apprentice Renshan.

"Hey, master. I'm dying of work these days. Renshan felt the familiar closeness in Li Chengjie's words, and he was very happy in his heart. The master really didn't alienate him because of his status as a prince, or became strange...

"Oh, what are you busy with? Could it be that your father has arranged something for you again?" Li Chengjie smiled, he thought about it, as a human mountain, if he wants to say that he is busy to death, then it can only be the father of Renshan, that is, the son of heaven in the current dynasty, and now His Majesty has arranged something for him.

"Harm! Master! It's not that your Hanlin Courtyard is on fire!! it's really annoying me!" Renshan shrugged helplessly and waved his hand. On the night when the students left the Hanlin Academy, the Beijing garrison guards led by Renshan entered the Hanlin Academy to investigate the location of the fire in the Hanlin Academy.

"Oh?" Li Chengjie sighed softly.

"My father, let me thoroughly investigate the truth about the fire in the Hanlin Temple. I didn't just come out of the Hanlin Academy, but I heard that the master had taken the name of Huiyuan again, so I hurriedly came to say goodbye. The first half of Renshan's sentence was whispered in Li Chengjie's ear, and only Li Chengjie could hear it clearly. The second half of the sentence was said with hearty laughter, which should be heard by everyone in the courtyard.

"Daoxi, come empty-handed?" Li Chengjie looked at Renshan's behavior, he also understood what Renshan meant, and said casually jokingly.

"Hey, hey, hey, otherwise, how can it be said that I came in a hurry to say goodbye! I just didn't prepare anything, and I wasn't surprised. Hahaha!" Renshan said mischievously.

"Alright, let's go sit down where I am. Li Chengjie said, and walked to Yunxian Courtyard with Renshan.

The two entered the courtyard, but Renshan still felt uneasy, and dragged Li Chengjie into the study. Close the door and the window before sitting opposite Li Chengjie.

"It's so mysterious, say whatever you want to say. Li Chengjie also smiled when he looked at Renshan so cautiously.

I don't know why, looking at the posture of Renshan, Li Chengjie remembered Qiao'er and Miao'er in Xunxiangfang.

Suddenly, Li Chengjie felt that he was not good, and quickly shook his head. There happened to be a pot of tea on the table.

Li Chengjie poured himself a cup of tea to sober himself up.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Renshan looked at Li Chengjie's strange appearance now, and said curiously.

"It's nothing, you can tell me, investigate the location of the fire

Now?" Li Chengjie coughed softly twice, covering up his gaffe just now. Asked.

"Oh, nothing to discover. It can only be concluded that the fire started from the inside of the three dormitories. Renshan said.

"Oh, why are you so sure. Li Chengjie asked.

He walked through the fire that day, and in fact, Li Chengjie also made some discoveries.

"Although the fire had been extinguished by the time we went, the remaining remnants of the bricks and tiles had been washed away by the flood. But we still found some clues. ”

"If the fire had started from outside the house, even if it had been poured with fire oil around the three dormitories, it would not have become so big in an instant, and it would have been impossible for almost no one to survive the examiners in the room. Renshan said.

"This can only be said to be your guess. Li Chengjie did not approve of it, nor did he deny it.

"If the fire was burning from outside the dormitory, then based on the arrangement of the three dormitories, the fire could not have been connected so quickly. According to eyewitness accounts of the fire that night. From seeing the fire to seeing the three dormitories turn into a sea of fire, it only took a few words. Renshan continued.

"Will there be a fake?" asked Li Chengjie.

"Uh..."

"Go on. Li Chengjie was not surprised, and motioned for Renshan to continue.

"We went to the people of the Qin Heavenly Prison, and according to the weather and the direction of the wind that night, according to our speculation, if the fire was burning on the periphery, we should let the flames rise in the sky and then form a sea of fire. There is a lot of fire oil that needs to be used, which is enough to warn the surrounding exams. There was so much fire oil that it was impossible for the entire Eighth Dormitory area not to be smelled by one person. So we denied that it was the cause of the fire outside the house. Renshan analyzed again. This time he added more corroboration.

"Well, then, if you deny the external fire, then tell me how you must have the internal fire. Li Chengjie nodded, symbolically agreeing with Renshan's speculation.

"We found it on a few remaining beams and a few remnants of the walls. The fire started from the bottom of the house. On several pillars, the bottom has basically been burned out, and the fire is winding up the pillars, rushing all the way up to the roof. This, combined with the charred black left on the walls, supports this view. Moreover, if the fire is burning from the outside of the house, then the flame should be climbing up the wall of the outer wall of the house, burning to the roof, and seeping into the house through the cracks. Then the scorching left on the wall should be disorganized, and it should not be so orderly. After slowly analyzing it, he had already determined at this time that the fire in Hanlin Courtyard must have been a fire in the house.

And the people who lit the fire are likely to be the ones who survived the dormitories!

This is what Renshan thinks now.
