Qu Caifeng smiled with a pursed lips: "It seems that these literati are like our martial arts world. They know all the talents in the world very well. However, if we martial arts people have a better skill, they can kill people. But they are not as good as this, aren't they always saying that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts?"

Tianlang nodded: "Yes, that's right, so these ministers usually want to promote the talented people they like. These people often ask these important officials to become disciples after they are on the list, thinking that their disciples are disciples. However, the kind of agreement that I just mentioned is a more powerful way than the students above the list. They are often famous talents in the world and they also like the top three palace examinations. These people often establish contacts with the important officials of the current dynasty before the exam and make appointments with teachers and students."

Qu Caifeng's expression changed slightly: "That is to say, these important officials will leak the exam questions to such students in advance? Isn't this a mess?"

Tianlang shook his head: "No, there is no need to give them test questions, but these people are often talented people all over the world, and their articles have their own unique styles. For example, you and I use Tianlang sword technique, which is obviously not the same as Wudang's Liangyi sword technique. You can tell at a glance that martial arts can be seen at a glance. The imperial examination is nothing more than the level of the articles. These people's articles can be seen at a glance. In addition, they are talented. If the important officials are the examiners themselves, they can pick out such a paper at a glance and push it to the third level."

Qu Caifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that this imperial examination system is like a martial arts competition. There are many tricks. The students you mentioned, the students you agreed to have agreed to be the best way to form a clique for personal gain. No wonder Yan Song had such a great power. I believe that those followers became his disciples when they were in the imperial examination."

Tianlang said seriously: "Yan Song is already in his seventies. Generally, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is about to retire and return home at the age of fifty or sixty, but he can stay in the court for thirty or forty years. He has served as a chief examiner in the middle, and his disciples are all over the world. The governor of Huguang Liu Donglin and the Censor He Shuquan. They are all admitted to his subordinates after passing the Jinshi. They are not considered core members, but they also have masters and apprentices. Perhaps Yan Song felt that this place is close to the Wushan Sect, and you are afraid that you will cause trouble for these two people, so he specially found people from the Demon Sect to strengthen their protection, for fear that the evidence that these people had bribed him for several years would fall into our hands."

Qu Caifeng nodded: "Yes, since these people are his disciples and have been strongly supported by him, the benefits they have gained are also indispensable. Senior Brother Liu said just now that Liu Donglin sent the 100,000 taels of silver he had greedy directly to Yan Song's hometown, probably because of this."

Tianlang smiled and said, "This is what we are going to do here. When Qiu Luan defected to Yan Song and recognized the old thief as his godfather, he once saw Liu Donglin and He Shuquan just came out of the old thief, so why was it self-evident. So he was the first to ask us to find out the details of these two people. With evidence that Yan Song recommended the promotion of the official to violate the law and discipline below, Qiu Luan had the weapon to pinch Yan Song in the court."

Qu Caifeng frowned: "If it was so easy, why didn't the other ministers of the Qing sect do it over the years? But he asked Qiu Luan, a bad guy, to do this? Besides, Qiu Luan himself is also a corrupt official, and he colluded with Mongolians. If Yan Song wants to cause trouble for him, it's a bit easier."

Tianlang laughed: "Miss Qu, I told you before that Qiu Luan himself was also recommended by Yan Song. Now Yan Song is not good at breaking up and going against him, otherwise he will also involve himself. But Qiu Luan is very ambitious. He fell in love with Yan Song's position and could not sit on him even if he didn't defeat Yan Song. Since Xia Yan's death, the ministers of the Qingliu school have not dared to confront Yan Song head-on. With Qiu Luan and Yan Song fighting each other, they are very happy. No matter who wins or loses, many officials of the Yan Party will be dismissed, and then these vacant seats will be given to them."

Qu Caifeng curled his lips: "Everyone is a sly and selfish guy, just like the hypocrites of the Demon-Subduing Alliance they support."

Tianlang coughed: "Okay, let's not talk about the Demon-Subduing Alliance, now we will only talk about Liu Donglin. Miss Qu, what are your plans?"

Qu Caifeng frowned: "I can't say that, I have to break through. Fortunately, you made preparations in advance. If we use the Liangyi sword technique, we will only treat it as Xu Linzong and Mu Lanxiang. It's just that Riyue Sect and We have been working with us for many years, so I don't really want to kill you."

Tianlang suddenly looked at Qu Caifeng and pondered silently. Qu Caifeng felt a little embarrassed when he showed him the look. Since he was hugged by Tianlang in the cave last time, there has been some indescribable gap between the two, and they both intentionally or unintentionally avoided too much contact with each other. It has been a long time since Tianlang stared at him like Tianlang.

Qu Caifeng turned her head and said softly: "Is there any problem with my face?"

Tianlang shook his head: "I suddenly thought of a very troublesome problem. Everything else is easy to disguise, but what should you do if you have white hair? And Junior Brother Xu and junior sister have never hidden their heads and tails. If they use Wudang sword technique but are covered with face, isn't it strange? Wudang and the Demon Sect are head-on and hostile, so there is no reason not to show up in public."

Qu Caifeng's eyes were flowing: "What do you think? My hair can be dyed with ink, and it is no problem to keep it for at least one or two days. If we don't use the Liangyi sword technique, but use other martial arts, I'm afraid we will find it difficult to beat Shangguan Wu and Situ Jiao. After all, they are also top experts, and we can't easily defeat it without doing our best, let alone there are many good players who have helped."

Tianlang's eyes were bright: "When you and I will act separately, I will hold back the masters of the Demon Cult in front of you, and you will take the opportunity to sneak into the place where the account book is placed, steal the account book and evacuate it."

Qu Caifeng shook his head: "No, you are too dangerous. Even if you have the Dragon Slaying Sword and do your best, I am afraid that there will be many people in them. The two masters Shangguan Wu and Situ Jiao alone are enough to entangle you, let alone others."

Tianlang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own way to escape. But you have to find a way to find out where the accounts of these two corrupt officials are."

Qu Caifeng's eyes lit up: "I think so, I sent Senior Brother Liu to take the initiative to bring some gang members to the door for assistance. Recently, the Riyue Sect and Yan Song sent people to the Wushan Sect to find me several times, but I avoided it. In this way, Senior Brother Liu took the initiative to show his goodwill, first, they could relax their vigilance, and second, they could also find out where the account book was."

Tianlang shook his head: "It's just that, if something goes wrong with the account book, won't they doubt Master Liu? After all, others will throw things away as soon as they come, and we know clearly where the account book is. Is it a bit coincidental?"

Qu Caifeng gritted her teeth: "I really have no choice but to let Senior Brother Liu suffer a little first. Then he deliberately hurt him. The people from the Demon Sect have nothing to say. As long as it is not his own guardian of the account book, there should be nothing wrong."

Tianlang nodded: "Okay, since you say that, let's listen to you. After checking the location of the account book, you and I will act separately."

Five days later, it was already nightfall in Wuchang City, but the backyard of the governor's magistrate in the city was brightly lit. Two middle-aged officials wearing big red official robes were restless in a secret room.

A yellow-faced and long-bearded official sat on an official hat chair, watching another black-faced companion paced indoors for a moment without resting, sighed: "Lao He, why are you doing so urgently?"

The black-faced official was He Shuquan, who was the Censor of Huguang. He stopped and shook his head: "Old Liu, I will go to Beijing tomorrow. Can you still be so calm tonight?"

Liu Donglin shook his head: "It's the last night. The personal guards who took us back to Beijing tomorrow will arrive. At that time, hand over this account to the people sent by Enxiang, and we can all be happy and return to our hometown. Nothing happened for so many days, what are you worried about today?"
