In the early morning, magpies were chirping outside the window, as if reminding: "Get up early, get up early."

Pei Ziyun woke up and felt a little headache. Yesterday, Juren Fu was also happy to see him Zhongjieyuan and insisted on pulling him to drink wine. The scholars also toasted one by one. He could not refuse and had to drink it. He felt a little painful early in the morning.

Someone knocked on the door, and Pei Ziyun got up and opened it.

A servant smiled and held a gift box in his hand, and his mouth was very straightforward. When he saw Pei Ziyun, he said, "Mr. Pei, my master knew that Mr. Pei had just passed the imperial examination and had not yet prepared. He had prepared a gift for Mr. Pei to visit the teacher."

The servant readily submitted a gift list and handed it on a gift list.

Pei Ziyun looked at it and saw a famous inkstone and a volume of paintings by famous masters of the previous dynasty. They were all suitable gifts, so he wanted to refuse.

The servant said: "Master Pei, my master has prepared a ox cart for the master. Master Pei is a new juren, not from the city, so he has a little care - Master Fu has also let him go."

Pei Ziyun wanted to refuse, but when he heard that Juren Fu said so, he knew that it might be a hidden rule and was not pretentious, so he accepted it with a smile. When he went out, he saw Chen Jinchun and Yu Guangmao going out with him. The three of them looked at each other and greeted each other.

"Is this?" Pei Ziyun asked.

"These are all the care of senior juren. Some new juren have poor families and may not be able to get a gift, so they will be replaced by seniors."

"These are nothing, just a little care."

Pei Ziyun understood that it was just a matter of contact, so he got on the ox cart. The coachman shouted at the ox and headed towards one place.

Hu Yingzhen is the president of this provincial examination, and according to convention, he is a juren.

Juren Fu had already inquired about Lord Hu's residence. When the coachman brought Pei Ziyun to the front of the courtyard, there were guards of soldiers.

Pei Ziyun came down and went up with Chen Jinchun and Yu Guangmao to deliver the prayer letter. Then a servant came out to lead him into the courtyard. The courtyard was very quiet, surrounded by corridors, in the middle was a patio, and a large water tank in the center.

As they entered, Hu Yingzhen was drinking tea in the hall. The three of them hurriedly went up to pay their respects and presented the gifts.

Hu Yingzhen glanced at Pei Ziyun and said, "I have read your paper, which is really eye-catching. Your current level is already extraordinary. Moreover, if you are young, as long as you are more attentive, you will be outstanding. Therefore, this is the exception to win you first. Do you understand?"

Pei Ziyun was flattered and said immediately: "Thank you, my teacher, for this kindness and virtue, the students will never forget it for their whole life!"

This kind of private meeting is actually very short, and there is another guild at noon, so Hu Yingzhen said something to Chen Jinchun and Yu Guangmao again, and someone else outside the door said, and Pei Ziyun led the two to leave.

There was a wedding banquet at noon, which was held in the Gongyuan to show the court's kindness. This was a grand banquet for Daxu.

When the new juren arrived at the Gongyuan, they saw the soldiers standing like nails hanging on their waists. An official took them in. As soon as he arrived, he felt the solemnity of the Gongyuan again.

The official from the school loudly said: "The new imperial examination candidate is here and enter the palace!"

The new imperial examination juren leaned down and walked, and saw the main hall of the Gongyuan on the steps. The main hall worshipped the Confucian saints and was granted the wise men. The table was placed on the table with the dragon plaque "Long Live the Daxu Long Live the Long Live the Long Live the Long Live the Long" which was made of gold and was engraved with a flying dragon, one foot and five inches tall.

In history, sages either sat or stood, with different expressions. When they looked up to the sages, new juren were all in awe and breathed rapidly. Being able to enter this hall is a lifelong dream of a scholar.

The school officials drank "Showing a great gift", and all the juren bowed down together.

"By again"

"Flat"

The mission was completed and retreated to the lobby in front of the hall.

"Meet the teacher!" There are more than one teacher this time, including the president, deputy examiner, and the room officer, and thirty-three juren saluted together.

Then he spoke. After the words, he had a moment of joy. The new Juren entered the banquet with the music. Everyone was seated in this banquet. The dishes were full of fragrance and the Juren was full of energy. He was very excited. He studied hard for many years, but he finally became the qualification to be an official and the carp jumped out of the dragon gate.

After a while, the president of the provincial examination smiled: "I was a young and frivolous official who entered this place back then. I must have fun in my life, so you don't have to worry about it."

As he said that, he left the venue. The atmosphere suddenly became alive. The juren bowed to each other and everyone toasted. The venue was very happy. From time to time, bursts of laughter came, and some people burst into tears.

Pei Ziyun is Jie Yuan, and he is the core of the field. Many people talked about each other, and it took a while to slow down. Seeing everyone laughing, they couldn't help but remember what happened before.

Time flies, and even the world is different.

At this time, a person came over with wine. When passing by Pei Ziyun, he looked at Pei Ziyun. Pei Ziyun was stunned. Looking back at the person, he was already far away, and he was a little surprised. The man just saw him, his eyes were a little special.

Shaking his head, Pei Ziyun raised his glass to another priest.

The man took the empty wine pot and turned back to the kitchen. When the kitchen was about to be greeted, he met: "How is it?"

The person who delivered the wine just now shook his head: "The Gongyuan cannot check it at all. If you want to check it, I think I am still talking about it on the street at the door."

The man hurriedly left as he heard what the man said.

ox cart

The wedding banquet was held until the afternoon. Pei Ziyun left the gate of the Gongyuan and found a ox cart. He said that the Great Xu did not build sedan chairs and did not think that people and animals were humans, but the emperor and the empress used people to carry carriages.

Pei Ziyun was drunk, and the autumn wind blew and became more awake. He called the ox cart. The driver helped him up and smiled: "Master, the wind is cold, it's going to rain again. Where are you going?"

Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment and sat down, opened the window and said, "Go to Fu Mansion, it's very close, but don't leave. I'll resign from others and take your car to the dock."

The coachman responded happily and shouted. The ox cart moved and the ox hooves stepped on the road. Pei Ziyun was about to take a break when suddenly, he sat up straight: "Who?"

After the ox cart was over, the coachman asked, "Master, is there anything wrong?"

Pei Ziyun glanced around with gloomy eyes, and saw a middle-aged Taoist looking over with a mirror, and frowned: "Did Zhang Jieyu know that he killed Li Wenjing and sent someone to attack and kill?"

After thinking about it, he pressed the hilt of the sword, and in a blink of an eye, the man turned around and left.

Zhoucheng·Gao Chuiguan

From time to time, people came in and out, delivering the news. Zhang Jieyu was in a bad mood and took a report on the Taoist in the county, saying that it was to check the latest news, and not many people had conflicts.

Zhang Jie frowned deeply, but he just pondered without saying a word.

A long-bearded Taoist, who was about forty years old, came up. This was Zhang Jieyu sent an investigation into Taoist Pei Ziyun. Seeing that the Taoist came back, Zhang Jieyu frowned and asked, "Senior brother, is this Pei Ziyun suspicious?"

The Taoist man had checked and said, "Young Master, it has been clear that Pei Ziyun has no Taoist Dharma. I have used the magic mirror to look at him. This person is not capable of being the one who is conspiring to murder the military advisor."

"I found out that on the day the military advisor was killed, Pei Ziyun and a group of scholars were drunk in the Zuixianlou. They were drunk. They did not go back to the Fu Mansion that night. They stayed in the inn for one night and were woken up at noon the next day."

Listening to the report from this Taoist, Zhang Jieyu walked a few steps and always felt something was wrong: "This boy is a bit suspicious. Last time he was rescued by the Songyun Gate in Yinlong Temple, or there was a blocking. Please check it carefully for me!"

"By the way, where is this person going now?"

"After hearing the wedding banquet, this person left Zhoucheng and took a boat down. At the speed, he might arrive in Dong'an Prefecture tonight." The Taoist said.

"Huh?" After hearing this, Zhang Jieyu suddenly flashed through his inspiration, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't think of it for a moment, so he waved his hand and said casually: "By the way, can you check some information on the Honshu Daozhengshi?"

"Young Master, it's very difficult. You think that the court's Daolu and the local Daozhengsi are both institutions that the court supervise the Taoist sect. Although people from the Taoist sect join, the people in charge are all casual cultivators."

"The court supervised the Taoist sect in the world, and there must be some sources of intelligence, but we obviously can't get it."

"Yes, but this matter cannot be soft." Zhang Jieyu stood up, looked out the window with a light, "The rise of this sect has not been long, and the foundation is not deep. If he is weak, wouldn't he let others be a soft persimmon in this sect?"

"So, Li Wenjing's personal affairs are actually not big, but they have a lot of symbolic significance."

The Taoist thought for a while and said, "This makes sense."

"Hey, I thought of it. Come and get the map!" Zhang Jieyu shouted, and a person came in for a moment and presented the map.

To be honest, this map was a taboo in ancient times, but it could also be used.

"Look!" When people go back, Zhang Jieyu's eyes were excited and pointed at the path: "Your words just now reminded me of it. It only takes one day to go down from Zhoucheng to Dong'an Prefecture."

"And Li Wenjing's home is still close, at least thirty miles away."

"If someone goes down the river at night, can he kill someone and go back overnight?"

The Taoist was also shocked and pondered, saying, "Young Master said it is reasonable. It is possible. However, the person who killed Li Wenjing was covered in a clear light. Li Wenjing's soul could not see people, and it was not achieved with martial arts."

Zhang Jieyu smiled: "It's not difficult to solve the problem of time. Even if Pei Ziyun really doesn't have magic power, he can just wear a magic weapon and there is a way to get around it."

"That means that Pei Ziyun and Songmenyun have a deep relationship. Although this magic weapon is not too rare, it is not that easy to obtain." The Taoist frowned.

"Let's talk about it later. No matter what, follow this idea - can you mobilize the official patrol personnel along the way to help investigate?"

"Young Master, the Luo Gang has some power in the river. You can investigate whether there is this person on the ship."

"As for the official in the river, young master, you also know that not only us, but all Taoist sects do not penetrate the government very deeply."

"The dragon energy is afraid of, there is no hope of promotion. Only those who no longer expect to be promoted will become familiar with us."

"It's just some relationship, you can try it."
