The small square in front of the Fuxue Palace is bathed in the afternoon sun. The blue brick floor has been dried dry by the sun, and the grass and moss on the cracks have now turned gray.

Jiang Yuebai stood in front of the door. He was still wearing a cyan satin robe. The silver hollow hibiscus flower trim was exposed inside the robe, but he no longer had that elegant and elegant look. The stains on his body made him look a little a little bit.

Embarrassed.

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong with your face? Why are there so many red rashes? It couldn't be..."

Lin Haoran walked down pretending to be concerned and saw that there were several mosquito bites on Jiang Yuebai's handsome face, but he deliberately thought of it elsewhere and showed a "you know" expression.

Why didn't Jiang Yuebai know what he meant? She immediately chatted her teeth with anger and stared at him sharply and asked, "Did you do what happened yesterday?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Haoran pretended to be confused and looked at him in confusion. When it came to acting, he thought he was somewhat good at it, otherwise he wouldn't have eaten so many ignorant young women in his previous life.

"Knock me out and throw me out of the city!" Jiang Yuebai stared at him fiercely and asked word by word.

He felt like a fire was burning in his heart at the moment, not only because he missed the opportunity to be promoted to Xiao Sanyuan, but also because of such a plot by the villain. He was knocked unconscious and thrown outside the city, and his body suffered.

I got a small three yuan for that villain.

Now that he is back in the city, he just wants to find out the man behind the scenes and beat him up. He has always teased others since he was a child, and how could anyone tease him in return?

What makes him even more unbearable is that the person teasing him this time may be the person he despises the most, the nerd who he once teased to the point of almost hanging himself.

"Ah? You were knocked unconscious and thrown outside the city!" Lin Haoran looked at him pretending to be surprised, then stepped forward to check his body and asked with concern: "Who did this? Are you injured?"

"Is it you?" Jiang Yuebai pushed him away and immediately asked again.

"You...how could you suspect it was me?" Lin Haoran pointed to his nose, pretending to be shocked.

Jiang Yuebai was actually not sure. After all, he didn't have any clues this time. He could only guess from the perspective of who would benefit. And the person in front of him was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. Not only would he win the bet, but he would also

Can obtain the title of Xiao Sanyuan.

However, after knowing this nerd for many years, I definitely don’t have such a method, let alone such courage. And judging from his demeanor now, it seems that he has indeed been wronged.

"I know!" Lin Haoran said loudly, looking at him seriously as if he suddenly came to his senses.

"Who?" Jiang Yuebai narrowed his eyes, revealing a murderous intent.

"The local gangster here, Zheng Shijie, who is second in the government examination, actually wanted to find someone to beat me up last time, saying that I robbed him of his case. Fortunately, I ran fast at that time!" Lin Haoran said with lingering fear, as if he was convinced that it was.

The look of that person.

Jiang Yuebai frowned slightly. Zheng Shijie was undoubtedly one of the people he had suspected before. After all, this person was also one of the strong contenders for the case. Now Lin Haoran said that he was a local snake, and thought that this was indeed the boundary of Maoming County.

, that person is undoubtedly more qualified to do such a thing.

Lin Haoran looked at his appearance and knew immediately that the ball was kicked correctly. Although he was not afraid of this young man, he would naturally not admit that he did it. He would never do such a thing by giving someone a thumbs up.

He looked at Jiang Yuebai with some hesitation, knowing that many things would be most effective if he left them alone, so he held his hands and said, "You'd better check with him. I'll take my leave now!"

With that said, he moved away from the small square. Seeing Huniu waving to him excitedly from a distance and trotting towards this side, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Now that the rain has finally passed and the sky has cleared up, I can finally let go of the big rocks that have been weighing on my heart.

"Brother, how did you do in the exam?" Huniu came to her side with excitement on her eyebrows.

"Good test!" Lin Haoran reached out to hold her little hand and said excitedly: "Hu Niu, I will take you to eat braised lion's head. Let's have a good meal today."

"Okay!" Hu Niu responded crisply, her face looking very excited.

But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a smell of sweat, and an old Taoist came over with a smile: "I know which braised lion's head is the best, and I will show you the way!"

In the evening, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, and there was a heavy rainstorm in Gaozhou City.

Rain poured down on the city and stopped from the evening to early morning, but the next day many depressions in the city were filled with water, and the front of the inn looked more like a vast ocean.

Jiang Yuebai ignored the traffic inconvenience caused by the stagnant water and brought the matter to the prefect's Yamen. The prefect of Tang took it very seriously and immediately sent out officials to investigate, as if he wanted to find out the person behind the scenes.

This kind of thing can be big or small. It can be as small as an examinee being disturbed by others and unable to take the exam on time, or as big as it is related to the country's talent promotion ceremony, which is a major national event.

It has to be said that the previous rumors about the relationship between Jiang Yuebai and Tan Kai were true, otherwise the Tang Prefect would never have gone into such a big fight over such a trivial matter, and almost the entire government went out in force.

Unfortunately, the information provided by Jiang Yuebai was limited. He was knocked unconscious in the alley, and he didn't even know the height of the person who attacked him. When he woke up again, he was already in a small forest in the west of the city, still surrounded by mosquitoes.

Shocked, the information about the criminal is zero.

The government officials locked their targets in the carriages leaving the city, but got nothing. After all, there were many carriages leaving the city, and there was no charge for leaving the city, so the city guards would not check inside the carriages at all.

The government has targeted several suspects, and Lin Haoran, as a strong competitor of Xiao Sanyuan, is naturally not immune. However, Lin Haoran has sufficient alibi. He has hardly even left the inn door these days, and there is no crime committed.

time.

Because of this, although this case was taken seriously by the Tang magistrate, it had little effect.

It is worth mentioning that Zheng Shijie, who once competed with Lin Haoran for the title of the case, accidentally fell down one night. It is said that the fall was so severe that he could not get out of bed for several months.

But Lin Haoran still underestimated Jiang Yuebai and his influence.

Two days later, the entrance of Fuxue Palace was crowded with people again. A particularly eye-catching list was posted on the wall, with the names of twenty people neatly written on it.

"First: Sun Maocai."

"Second: Long Huawen."

"Third: Zhao Dongcheng."
