Chapter 319: Palace Examination
Kaifeng House.

Now the Eighth Prince of Kaifeng Mansion Yin is in a very upset mood, because it was already dinner time, but Gu Yi caught him a killer who had attempted to kill him and came back.

Mr. Zhang resigned suddenly. The position of Kaifeng governor is of great importance and cannot be neglected. The emperor had no choice but to let the Eighth Prince take this position temporarily.

The Eighth Prince was also well aware of the Holy Will, and he did not listen to anything outside the window. He told Cheng Dao and Master Gongsun not to ask him for big or small matters, and to make decisions by himself. If he couldn't make decisions, report them to Dali Temple and other places.

Master Gongsun and Cheng Dao are bitter.

But now, Gu Yi and Du Qingshan, stupefied, have arrested someone from nowhere, saying that he is the killer of Furongmen, and that he was sent by Mr. Huiyuanren to kill.

After much deliberation, Master Gongsun decided to report the matter to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince held the teacup and silently looked at Gu Yi who was standing upright in the room. Just when Gu Yi thought he was falling asleep, the Eighth Prince finally spoke: "I heard that you are the No. 2?"

Gu Yi paused: "Go back to the prince, the students are not talented."

"You're not talented!" Although he was in Kaifeng Mansion, the Eighth Prince was not wearing the official uniform of Kaifeng Mansion, but casually wore a comfortable and spacious beige brocade uniform. Ren Yi, isn't it because he is jealous of his Huiyuan position?"

"My lord."

Gu Yi raised his eyes to look at the Eighth Prince, his eyes were pure and firm.

Ever since he was involved in Ren Yi's fraud case, he knew that there would be such a day, he knew that someone would question him on the grounds that he had a hard time with Ren Yi, but he did not expect that the person who asked this question would be the Eighth Prince.

"Although the student is not talented, he is not so dirty. Whether Ren Yi sent someone to assassinate Zhang Yuan, and whether today's killer is a member of Furongmen, the prince will know after a short interrogation. Please learn from him."

"This king is very busy, and I don't have time to take care of these troublesome things." The eighth prince put his hands in his hands, as if he had nothing to do with me in the world, "Master Gongsun, didn't this king say that this kind of murder and arson matter , sent to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple."

"Hey, my lord." Master Gongsun didn't respond, he winked at Gu Yi helplessly, and shook his head.

Gu Yi had no choice but to back down.

The second day is the imperial examination.

The palace examination is held in the Jiying Hall of the imperial city. Candidates enter at dawn, go through the etiquettes of roll call, unraveling papers, praise, salute, etc., and then issue policy questions.

Gu Yi and Du Qingshan intentionally looked around, but they never saw Ren Yi.

When the papers were handed in at dusk, Du Qingshan deliberately left the hall early and waited outside the hall. The candidates for the palace examination left the Jiying Hall one by one, but they still didn't even see Ren Yi's shadow.

Gu Yi came over: "Brother Du, how is it?"

"There are a total of 230 and eight people in this palace examination. I just counted them one by one. Excluding you and me, there are indeed 230 and six people, but I didn't see anyone else from Ren Yi. It's really strange."

"Perhaps there are too many people and the lights are dim, so Brother Du may be dazzled." Gu Yi smiled and squeezed his arms, "Let's go back first."

The two left the Jiying Hall, walked through Huangcheng Avenue, and the shops in the neighborhood around them had already lit up lanterns, and the street was very lively.

Song Guichen had just returned from Taishi Academy, thinking that Du Qingshan had probably finished his exams, so he spared a long way to drink tea at a Yanqingdu near Huangcheng Street, and prepared to wait for him to go back with him.

Yanqingdu is located at the intersection of Huangcheng Street and Junyi Street. Here you can have a panoramic view of the solemn and wide Huangcheng Street, and you can also see the magnificent pavilions of the Imperial City, so it is very popular among candidates.

Today's palace examination, many candidates came out of Jiying Hall and went straight to Qingdu.

When Song Guichen came, there were still few people in Qingdu, and there were only a few people downstairs. Song Guichen didn't want to go upstairs, so he sat down on the first floor with a wide view, ordered a cup of tea, and slowly drink slowly.

After a while, candidates gradually came in, and the originally quiet banquet suddenly became lively.

Song Guichen knew that the palace test was over.

"Fairy?"

A pleasantly surprised voice came, and Song Guichen turned around to see that it was Lin Can, a scholar whom he met at Taishi Academy a few days ago.

Song Guichen said with a smile: "My surname is Song, you can call me Miss Song."

"Okay, okay, Fairy, do you also like tea from Qingdu?" Lin Can smiled brightly, and was so happy that his hands were not hands, and his feet were not feet, "Students, please invite Fairy to drink tea."

"Thank you, but don't bother, I just passed by by chance, so I'm going back now." Song Guichen stood up, and the smile on Lin Can's face disappeared, showing a disappointed look.

Song Guichen was funny, thinking that this young man is really stupid in reading, but he is still such a "fairy" one by one, dumbfounded.

Just as he was about to speak, from the corner of his eye he saw Du Qingshan and Gu Yi walking away on the street outside, Song Guichen hurriedly said, "Farewell."

"Hey, Fairy!" Lin Can chased after Song Guichen, "I forgot to ask where Fairy lives last time. Fairy likes the picture of flying fairy?"

"I like it, I like it." Song Guichen had already thrown the picture of flying immortals in an unknown corner, but now that Lin Can mentioned it, she could only deal with it with a grin, subconsciously speeding up her pace.

Lin Can also followed closely: "Great, I drew another painting recently, the fairy will definitely like it, I will send it to the fairy later? By the way, fairy, where do you live?"

Song Guichen was only chasing Du Qingshan and the two who were walking ahead, and didn't hear what Lin Can said at all. He nodded indiscriminately. Seeing her hurrying, Lin Can asked curiously: "Is the fairy looking for someone? I Help you find it."

As he spoke, he looked ahead, his eyes passed through the crowds coming and going on the street, and locked on Du Qingshan and the two: "Is it the two young men in Qingshan?"

Song Guichen didn't respond yet, but felt Lin Can grab his arm, and a gust of wind blew up, Song Guichen subconsciously squinted his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he was already standing in front of Du Qingshan and Gu Yi.

Du Qingshan: "Xiaochen?"

Gu Yi: "Who is this?"

Lin Can was polite: "I'm Lin Can. This girl has been chasing you two, and I'm helping you."

Do you a favor?

A crow flew over Song Guichen's head.

It seems that this nerdy student is not just a scholar.

Lin Can said and smiled at Song Guichen: "Fairy, I'm leaving!"

Gu Yi looked at Lin Canyuan's back strangely: "What kind of kung fu is this?"

On the street full of pedestrians, it is so flexible to avoid passers-by, as quick and sensitive as a dragonfly on water.

"This is a startling step." Du Qingshan said, "There is such an expert in Kaifeng! How did Xiaochen know him?"

"He is the son of Sinon Qing Lin Zhu, and he is studying in the Taishi Academy." Song Guichen said, "He looks silly on weekdays, but he is actually a master?"

"I'm not sure if I'm a master or not, but it's really not easy for Jing Hongbu to become as good as him."

Gu Yi asked: "Is he a candidate for the imperial examination?"

　Oh, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
