Chapter 148 It’s over, I’m the scapegoat!

The fact that gunpowder can explode gave Gu Shanhai a lot of confidence. He quickly prepared high-explosive black powder and took corresponding protective measures. The sky had already darkened.

"It's time to go to Yuzhu Pavilion." Gu Shanhai tidied up briefly.

He also knew the specific location of Yuzhu Pavilion, and had inquired about it when he went out to buy materials.

When he left the inn, he actually saw a lot of people, because he was not the only one who was invited. All the students who came to take the exam were invited, and there were a lot of them.

'It seems that they are invited in batches, not all at the same time. That's right. If all these thousands of students and candidates are to be invited at the same time, Yuzhu Pavilion does not have such a large carrying capacity.'

Not to mention anything else, there are nearly fifty candidates in the inn where Gu Shanhai is staying. He has also inquired about it. During this period, their food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of by the imperial court, and they do not need to pay themselves. This is a welfare benefit.

.

In order to better control these students and candidates, these are selected talents. Unified management can also avoid various accidents. It is regarded as attaching great importance to the imperial examination and candidates. The more important reason is that this is at the foot of the emperor, so the treatment is good.

This treatment would not have been available in the previous provincial and municipal examinations.

He also inquired about it. It was more like going to Yuzhu Pavilion for a meal to share feelings and relieve stress. The prince would not appear. For the prince, winning over was necessary, but if he showed up now, it would seem a bit condescending.

Gu Shanhai didn't have any objections to this. If he didn't want to follow the crowd and find a cover, he wouldn't even want to go there.

Because it was too much of a waste of time. It was common for literati to fall in love with each other. When the time came, they would inevitably have to recite poems and write poems, which he didn't understand at all.

As the atmosphere became more intense, many students and candidates sitting in the back row began to talk. First they started cheering and reciting poems, and then they planned to use those people's reputations to rise to the top.

The Yuzhu Hall quickly became lively, and the students at the front were also very popular. They were obviously good dancers. After announcing their names, everyone began to compliment each other, but these compliments fell into disrepute.

In Gu Shanhai's ears, there was a bit of the smell of needles hidden in cotton wool.

The student Hou Weiji.

The other party has done this before, and it is an inevitable historical development. Even if he doesn't do it, the whole world will help him do it.

He could be sure that before he came to Yuzhu Pavilion, he had nothing else on his body except black powder.

Everyone was also shocked.

After entering the Yuzhu Pavilion, servants were quickly arranged. After Gu Shan's name was written on the poster, he was arranged to a slightly cornered place.

The reason is very simple. The person who poisoned him is probably 'him', his original body. This is one of the inheritance tests.

At this time, Gu Shanhai was also thinking about getting up to inquire about something, when he suddenly heard a scream.

He didn't know what happened. Now that he was mortal, he naturally didn't know what happened just now, but it looked like he was probably poisoned.

The soldiers who heard the commotion outside the door also rushed in and began to maintain the scene. After Gu Shanhai took a look, he sat back down again.

The good news is that he doesn't have to go to the Ministry of Rites to steal test questions and he doesn't have to think about the tribute exam. The bad news is that he may face jail time and beheading his queen.

If the person who framed him was really capable, there would be no need to poison him.

So now Gu Shanhai has good news and bad news.

The scene was quickly settled. The government office, the city secretary, etc. all sent people here. Under normal circumstances, there would not be such a big fight for the dead. The main reason was that they died in Yuzhu Pavilion, and they were about to take the exam.

This situation definitely alarmed the prince and even the current emperor.

At least give him a hint or something, otherwise he will be confused and can only go to the Ministry of Etiquette to steal the test questions later as planned.

'I hate puzzle books!'

It is possible for literati to get together and worry about the country and the people without being romantically involved. This is inherently problematic.

'The original situation should be the same. He killed the wrong person and borrowed a knife to kill. Not only did he solve the famous Geng Wu, but he also dealt with Deng Zhida, who had a grudge against him.'

It doesn't matter whether Gu Shanhai takes action or not. What matters is that everything will develop according to history. If he doesn't find a way to break the situation, he will not be able to escape death.

"In this case, don't think about stealing papers. There will definitely be martial law in the near future." Gu Shanhai was quite helpless. If he had known better, he would not have taken the risk of preparing black powder. Fortunately, he did not bring a dagger with him this time.

Otherwise, it might be more troublesome.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai also squeezed in, and saw the other party lying on the ground with bleeding from all his orifices, and no longer breathing. For a moment, the Yuzhu Pavilion became chaotic.

All the candidates and students present were feeling uneasy. After all, everyone just ate the same food, and they were afraid that they might also be poisoned.

Of course, if he were to be killed in a plot, he would have no choice but to escape with the help of black powder.

Next, the other party will definitely not be able to participate in the tribute examination. Even whether he can participate in the future is one thing, and his future will be immediately ruined.

Therefore, a small matter becomes a big deal, not to mention that it is suspected of poisoning.

Gu Shanhai remained motionless, watching this development with cold eyes, while Hou Weji, who was sitting next to him, became more proactive, getting up frequently and walking around with a wine glass in hand, quite like a madman.

The arrangement of the Yuzhu Pavilion is actually very normal. You, an unknown person, still want to occupy a good seat. It is simply too beautiful.

The inspection came to him quickly. After much trouble, the bag of Jiu Xue Powder was not found. Then he also asked about his three tubes of black powder. After Gu Shanhai answered the questions, he verified it and found that it was not poison.

The investigation process was carried out quickly, with a large number of officials involved and students also having to conduct body searches.

"." Gu Shanhai also felt a little nervous. He had three tubes of black powder hidden in his arms. It would be troublesome if they were found.

Drinking too much ink can kill you. Could it be that ink is poison?

For a moment, Gu Shanhai didn't quite understand how things were developing.

Jiuxue Powder is colorless and odorless, and the person who takes it will bleed from the seven orifices and die.

This was the tip that Gu Shanhai got. He discovered an interesting thing, that is, not everyone will have relevant tips. For example, his fellow villagers will have tips, or the famous students sitting in the front row will also have tips.

Or the person sitting next to him.

Now we can only choose the lesser of two harms.

'This boss was a highly intelligent criminal in the early stage. He had methods and a heart, and his attacks were ruthless, but he just didn't know where the turning point was.'

‘It’s not like you want to kill your competitors first, right?’

The previous chat was probably due to chance encounters rather than intentional conversation.

The main reason is that Gu Shanhai thinks that there may be relevant circumstances in this Yuzhu Pavilion, otherwise it would be impossible to let him come here without any reason. Perhaps the experience of the original owner can be included in the illusion, so there must be something wrong.

‘Is there a directory? Sure enough, reputation is important wherever you go.’

At this point, he finally understood that this was definitely a puzzle book, and it was also a very difficult one. If he hadn't been superior in skills, he would have failed before.

'Sure enough, it is this thing.' Gu Shanhai complained, and then stuffed it into the seam of his coat at a very fast speed. This seam was also newly sewn by him. It was originally intended to be used to put the dagger. It was very

It's obscure, at least from the outside, you can't see any problems or protrusions. Unless he is the one who sews it himself, it is absolutely impossible to find it.

The banquet became more and more lively, and he even saw all his fellow villagers going up, leaving only a few students who might have withdrawn personalities and remained motionless.

"Dead, Geng Sheng is dead!" Then, a student was heard shouting.

Therefore, the two may have had some grudges before, or it may be that 'he' is unilaterally jealous, which makes me angry just thinking about it.

Gu Shanhai went back smoothly. Many candidates and students on the way were very silent. It was not clear whether they were frightened or did not dare to say anything. Anyway, Gu Shanhai was thinking in his heart.

He took out the bag of poison without leaving a trace, and the reminder appeared in his mind.

After putting it in, it closes again. Even if the opponent picks it up and throws it, he can't notice it. And there is no need to worry about the three tubes of black powder in his hand. The reason is very simple. He can push this thing directly onto the peace charm.

After taking this thing, it will not look like bleeding to death from the seven orifices.

He knew there was danger here, but where exactly was the danger? It had been all afternoon and he hadn't encountered anything, so that was nothing.

If the murderer is not found in the future, he will be the scapegoat. Forget about fame and other things, just wait for death.

'It's just that this approach is inappropriate.' Gu Shanhai sighed in his heart. The face of a student candidate sitting next to him seemed calm at first glance, but unfortunately his micro-expression also revealed his displeasure.

'Holy shit, is this being framed? No, with their little ability, how could they frame me.' Gu Shanhai's first thought was that someone had poisoned him and framed him, but after thinking about it carefully, this

The thing was put together with the black powder, and his pocket was not the original one, but he sewed it again for his own convenience.

If you kill people in other places, you may still be able to save your life by removing your honorary title, but if you kill people in the Yuzhu Pavilion of the prince and crown prince, it is not just a slap in the face, but it is not just the prince who is beaten, but also the government office, the city secretary, etc.

Everyone's faces.

‘Is it possible that the other party hasn’t been caught after he committed the assassination?’ Gu Shanhai was thinking about this.

So Gu Shanhai plans to try it out to see if this inheritance mechanism is flexible. If it is flexible, he can have more operations. If it is not flexible, then he will have to fight head-on.

The inevitable development has led to an accident, and if the deceased still appears next, it means that not only has 'he' not been caught, but he has dared to commit crimes many times.

After returning the things to him, he went to check on the others.

A scholar named Geng died, and Gu Shanhai was also a little curious about it. He had an impression that the man was called Geng Wu, and the prompt also had the word "student" in front of his name, just like Hou Weiji.

So Gu Shanhai boldly guessed that it was probably because the boss didn't know these people.

As for why he killed Geng Wu, Gu Shanhai guessed that he might have killed the wrong person. The person he wanted to kill should be Deng Zhida, for no other reason than because the person who had a drinking and poetry fight with Geng Wu just now was Deng Zhida, and his reminder

The most special thing is that all the other students from the same town are just so-and-so students from the same town. Only Deng Zhida said: Come with him to participate in the tribute examination ten days later.

The Yuzhu Pavilion was not far away, and Gu Shanhai arrived quickly alone. Deng Zhida and other fellow villagers came together, and they were in a group.

I thought in my heart that danger might be coming.

In other words, the person who gave the hint is likely to be some key, or it may just be a simple NPC.

One thing can be determined from this, that is, the relationship between the character he replaced and his fellow villagers is not very good. Otherwise, he would be asked to set off together instead of one after the other.

On the way back, the candidates and students were also protected by soldiers. They were really worried that something would happen again. The death of one of them would be such a big deal. If another one died, Long Yan would be furious in the morning.
