Zhu Liqun said with some worry: "My son is afraid that the regent will take the opportunity to attack the aristocratic family."

Mr. Zhu stood up holding on to the armrest.

Zhu Liqun quickly stepped forward to help.

"Luo Qi always felt that his wings were stiff and wanted to step on our heads. The Gu family originally wanted to lean under the Zhu family's door, but Luo Qi pulled them over."

Mr. Zhu didn't care who the Gu family took refuge in, but the Luo family wanted to learn a lesson. That's why they approached Luo Ji. They didn't expect him to be so useless.

"You send a message to Chongxiao Mountain and ask someone to come to the capital. After the Luo family has learned a lesson, they have to be restrained by him. The emperor has wanted to touch us for a long time, and now both King Xiaoyao and the emperor are hurting again. As a regent, we should also be prepared for danger in times of peace."

"Father taught me that."

A few days later, the imperial court announced to the outside world that someone had leaked the questions for this exam, and all scores would not count, and all candidates would retake the exam on a different date.

"I have to do it again. I don't want to take the exam anymore. Oh, mother, mother, please be gentle. It hurts. It hurts." As soon as Gu Wenbin finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang pinched his ears.

"Mom asked you not to put so much pressure on yourself, but she didn't ask you to let yourself go so much. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to retake the exam, go read a book quickly. Look at your elder brother. He's already in the house when he wakes up early in the morning. Read the book and look at you again!”

"Mom, be gentle, your ears are about to fall off."

Gu Wenbin was pulled by Zhang's ear and left.

Gu Mengyin waved to Gu Jiancheng.

Gu Jiancheng saw Dian Dian'er and ran over, "Auntie, what are your orders?"

Gu Mengyin tilted her head and asked, "Has Luo Ji done anything? Do you know who gave him those magic charms?"

Gu Jiancheng would not have known about this at ordinary times, but An Ning passed by the Qintian Prison for no reason yesterday when he was leaving the office, and accidentally told him that Luo Ji said that those magic charms were given to him by a Taoist priest he did not recognize. of.

"Taoist priest? Ordinary Taoist priests can't draw such immoral things. What are the characteristics of a Taoist priest?"

"It's true. It's because the eyebrows are very long and chubby."

Jingchen suddenly stuck his head out from behind them, "Isn't the fat Taoist priest with long eyebrows the same old Taoist with long eyebrows?"

"Auntie, do you two know this?"

The two of them shook their heads in unison, "I don't know."

For them, it is a very shameful thing for them to get to know that arrogant and experienced person.

Gu Mengyin asked Gu Jiancheng to get busy.

Gu Mengyin looked at Jingchen and said, "You said that old man with a strong nose told you where the demon-slaying sword was."

Jingchen nodded, "Yes, I didn't expect him to be so happy."

Gu Mengyin's delicate brows knitted together. She always felt that she had overlooked something.

"Tell me how you went to find him."

"Oh, I felt a little hungry when I just came down the mountain, so I ate ten steamed buns, but I still wasn't full..."

Gu Mengyin slowly raised her little hand, "Speak to the important point!"

Jingchen took a step back and said quickly: "When we arrived at the foot of Chongxiao Mountain, we met King Ling and went up the mountain with him. Then the old man with a strong nose said that the demon-slaying sword was suppressing the dream-eating beast in Xijing, so he gave me a tracking charm to find it. Got the Demon-Slaying Sword..."

"Wait a minute." Gu Mengyin interrupted him, "What did you just say? The demon-slaying sword pressed down on the dream-eating beast."

Jingchen's eyes were clear and he nodded confusedly, "Yes, but the old master said that it has been suppressed for so long, even if the demon-slaying sword is removed, it will be no problem."

Gu Mengyin narrowed her big eyes, "In other words, you released the Dream Eater."

Jingchen was startled and said a little uncertainly: "That's not the case. That old-fashioned guy lied to me?"

"What do you think?"

"This damn wise old man, it's all in vain that I trust him so much!" Gu Mengyin pinched her eyebrows. The senior brother was still as stupid as ever.

"He is using you to release the Dream Eater."

"Why did he do this?"

Gu Mengyin shrugged, "How would I know."

Jingchen clenched his fists and said, "No, I have to go find him and ask him clearly."

Gu Mengyin saw him angrily about to leave and said quietly: "No need to go, he will come."

Jingchen paused and turned back curiously, "How does junior sister know?"

Gu Mengyin raised her eyebrows, "He will definitely come to Xijing within three days."

The leaked test questions caused quite a stir in Xijing, but nothing happened after Luo Ji was arrested.

Luo Qi wanted to plead with Yan Linyuan several times after going to court, but Yan Linyuan refused for various reasons, making the Luo family even more anxious.

After that, Luo Qi went to see Mr. Zhu twice, but Mr. Zhu also avoided seeing him.

Luo Qi was so angry that he went back to his house and cursed.

"This old guy is usually arrogant in front of me, but now if something happens, he doesn't even dare to see anyone!"

What Luo Qi has to worry about now is not only Luo Ji's life, he is even more afraid that Yan Linyuan will use this incident to directly remove the Luo family from the big family, and may even take the opportunity to weaken the Luo family's power.

This is what Luo Qi is most worried about.

The Luo family's nearly a hundred years must not be destroyed in his hands.

"Master, someone from the Zhu family is here."

Luo Qi paused and said, "Please come in."

Soon, the Zhu family's housekeeper was brought in.

After the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion saluted Luo Qi, Luo Qi asked everyone in the room to leave.

"What are your orders, Lord Zhu?"

The steward said: "Master Luo, please be patient. Although this matter is not small, it is not difficult for Master Luo to return without incident."

"The butler said so."

"Master Luo still remembers the offense that Princess Xiangyang made to the queen at that time. Afterwards, King Xiaoyao just explained that the person was possessed by evil spirits, and the emperor did not pursue any further investigation afterwards. If Master Luo was controlled by evil spirits, that was not his original intention. No. Are you innocent?"

This idea did not make Luo Qiduo happy, "Can the regent let him go easily?"

The housekeeper smiled when he heard this, "So Mr. Luo, you also have to be somewhat evasive. You only need to tell the regent that you are not feeling well and need to recuperate for a month or two, and temporarily hand over the matters at hand to the people below. The rest, Our old man can solve it for you."

Luo Qi's face darkened when he heard this. The person standing below him was a member of the Zhu family.

The Zhu family wanted to take this opportunity to remove him from the position of the official department. What a good plan!

The Zhu family already occupies three of the six branches of the Central Government. If he gives up his position again, will there still be a place for the Luo family in Xijing in the future?

Luo Qi sneered in his heart, but it didn't show on his face at all.

"I will consider this matter carefully. Thank you Mr. Zhu for your suggestion."

The housekeeper didn't worry when Luo Qi didn't agree immediately, "Then Sir Luo, think about it carefully. This regent is acting strangely, but he must not let him take the lead. It will be difficult to handle the situation if he is caught off guard. "

Luo Qi sent away the housekeeper of Zhu Mansion.

"Father, the Zhu family is clearly taking advantage of the situation." Luo Qi's youngest son heard clearly the conversation between the two outside the door and was very angry.

Luo Qi put his hands behind his back and suddenly looked at his youngest son and said, "What do you think of the Regent?"
