Chapter 113 I am trapped in the quagmire

When several examiners heard this, they looked angry and shouted, "You are a rude fellow, I must take his book"!
  But he moved his position silently.

And on the second floor,
  Only two people, Lu Youtai and Wang Shouren, were left.

Wang Shouren stood up, walked to the window, and suddenly chuckled,

"I wonder if Rong Yuan, the Fire Chief of the Tenth Palace, expected this situation?"

Lu Youtai's expression did not change.
  "The Fire Chief of the Tenth Palace? Could it be that the mountain chief recognized the wrong person? I am going to Fengxian County to do business, and I am not some demon who is taught by the sky."

The smile in Wang Shouren's eyes became a little thicker,
  "That's right. Rong Yuanhuo spent ten years of hard work before changing his appearance and stepping into an official position to where he is today. Naturally, he wanted to end up with the past.

But...you can change your skin, but you can't change your heart! "

Hearing this, Lu Youtai raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bit of sarcasm.

"Where's the evidence? To be an official in the court, even if it's an unfounded crime, there must be evidence.

Wang Taifu, you were demoted to Qianfeng County. You are more aware than me of the accusations and accusations in the court. "

Wang Shouren did not answer directly. He looked dimly at the farce outside the Gongyuan, but his attention was focused on Li Qinglin.

"Do you recognize him?"

Hearing this, Lu Youtai was silent for a moment and said,
  "heard about it."

Wang Shouren said seriously every word,

"More than I heard, three of the fire heads in the Ten Halls of Heaven's Enlightenment Temple died directly or indirectly because of him."

"A few days ago, there was a big battle outside the city, and a ten-mile radius was plowed. After the battle, Lin Langya disappeared completely, and the one who injured him was Li Qinglin's master, Wen Shoufei. "

Lu Youtai said: "So?"

Wang Shouren looked at Li Qinglin's retreating back and said in a complicated tone,

“Since ancient times, when dragons and snakes appeared in troubled times, people with great fortune and great numerology were born.

Based on Li Qinglin's current performance, although he can't be considered a man of great luck, every time he takes action, he has more or less foiled the plans of your Heavenly Enlightenment Temple.

I see, this boy is destined to you! "

As soon as these words came out, Lu Youtai's pretended to be calm face was slightly moved.
  "What the mountain chief said is absolutely true. This son is really a pillar of our court! However, once he enters the court, it is as deep as the sea. Sometimes, he will be harmed in his position. The official level will crush people to death. What he has to face often beyond his imagination.

Punishment... After all, they are a group of vicious dogs, and the chain is in the hands of the dog owner. "

When Wang Shouren heard this, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes became deep.

"Really? Let's see. Some people are destined to break the rules and ignore the shackles. They cannot be locked and will go to the sky."

……

"How's the interrogation going?"

"They all confessed. The logic of the case is very complete and there are basically no ambiguities."

In prison, Li Qinglin thanked several jailers.

Lao Bai handed over the confession obtained during the interrogation to Li Qinglin. Li Qinglin glanced at it and frowned.
  "Or do you still insist that it was the Skull God himself who harmed the lives of Gao Zhou?"

Lao Bai shrugged.

"I've been punished for several rounds, but I still won't let go. After all, I can't interrogate that skeleton. Well, Mr. Li, there really is a ghost. Why didn't I see it?"

At the end of the sentence, Lao Bai was a little curious.

Li Qinglin shook his head helplessly and ignored Lao Bai's questioning.

But they saw three men in black wearing futou on their heads, leather belts around their waists, and black boots walking into the prison with indifferent expressions.

Strong qi and blood must be refined into the bone marrow at least. The finger joints are thick, the skin is rough, and the whole body is full of courage.

As soon as they entered the prison and landed among the guards, they felt like a tiger leaping into a chicken coop. Wherever they passed, the guards backed away one after another.

"He's from the military."

Lao Bai muttered and silently moved out of the way.

Seeing Li Qinglin indifferently blocking the road, a man in black glanced at him with lightning eyes and passed him by.

The three men in black entered the depths of the prison without saying anything.

It's noon.

Li Qinglin was in the desk room, looking up information about the Skeleton God and the Suijin Street Gongyuan.

Lao Bai suddenly walked in, his face a little ugly, and said,
  "The fortune teller and Jiang Bifen committed suicide by taking poison in prison. All the files about them were handed over to the military, and even the bone statue was taken away."

Seeing Li Qinglin still looking through the files, Lao Bai sighed and advised,
  "Master Li, this matter is not that simple. It may be another game played by some big shots. That bone statue is a complete magic weapon! How can ordinary people get it?

Listen to my younger brother's advice and stop here. Maybe the superiors will reward you for your great achievements. "

After hearing this, Li Qinglin put down the file, leaned back and leaned on the seat,
  "Old Bai, do you know that Lu Youtai?"

"Going to Feng County to serve Lu Youtai?"

Lao Bai pondered for a moment and said,
  "This man was originally a refugee. His parents were both dead. He relied on his calligraphy skills to make a living by copying poems for people in shantytowns. Then, as a white man, he took part in the lower government examinations and the county examinations, and was among the top three.

Three years later, he went to the prefecture capital to take the imperial examination. Although he passed the exam, he fell seriously ill and did not recover for many years. As a last resort, he returned to Fengxian County to recuperate.

This man is good at dancing. Over the past few years, he has been promoted step by step, becoming a big official, and enjoying the seventh-grade official salary! "

Li Qinglin nodded when he heard this.
  "Lao Bai, do you know that since Lu Youtai became the capital, he has been supervising the examiners of various neighborhood tribute courtyards over the years. How many scholars died during the examination period?"

When Lao Bai heard this, his tone was a little hesitant.
  "Well, I didn't pay much attention to this. But the number of scholars who died in Gongyuan over the years is no less than dozens. It doesn't hurt to die a few more, right?"

When Li Qinglin heard this, he fell silent.

Indeed, a few more deaths would be innocuous to others.

But what if it was Li Qingjing who died among them...

Perhaps, because Li Qingjing's mentor was Wang Shouren, those people did not dare to harm him.

It's just that the evil spirits came into the dream and affected the performance of the medical examination. Afterwards, he became seriously ill and could just take the scientific examination next time.

But Li Qinglin didn't want to gamble.

Nor do you want to entrust the future to others' weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing that Li Qinglin stopped talking and even looked a little ugly, Lao Bai felt vaguely that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he immediately pretended to be careful and changed the subject with a smile.

Afterwards, Lao Bai found an excuse to say goodbye.

In the next half day, Li Qinglin spent a few taels of silver to bribe Gongyuan soldiers and asked about Li Qingjing's situation.

Hearing that his face was rosy and he was writing with energy, and that nothing serious happened, he felt relieved.

The sky is dark and the sun is setting.

Li Qinglin went to Gao Mansion again and asked Gao Juren several questions.

During the inquiry, he faintly sensed a trace of the situation.

It is true that Jiang Bifen bought ghost papers and suppressed his classmates.

But he is not the culprit, or in other words, there is someone else behind it!
