Dongshi, in a private room of a luxurious restaurant.
"Brother Zhang, is this really okay?" A long-faced young man dressed in fine clothes asked softly.
Hearing this, everyone sitting at the round table cast their gazes over.
Sitting on the chair on the east side was a richly dressed man with a high nose, big eyes, and a well-proportioned figure. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my father is the examiner of this imperial examination. He will arrange everything. You just have to wait to get on the list!"
After hearing the vows, the young men present smiled one after another.
"This time I really want to thank His Highness King Jin and Shangshu Zhang!"
"Yes, as long as we can enter the court and serve as officials, His Highness the King of Jin will be the only one who obeys us from now on."
"I'll just stay at the bottom of the B list!"
"..."
As he spoke, the long-faced man sitting next to Zhang Tianyu looked at the door and asked, "Brother Shen, why hasn't he come yet?"
"No rush, Brother Shen and I have an appointment at noon. It's still early now, so let's wait." Zhang Tianyu replied calmly.
He held a banquet here today mainly for Shen Yunchu.
My father was ordered by His Highness the King of Jin to help these people pass the provincial examination. However, cheating in the imperial examination is a serious crime. If the matter is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. In addition to my father being the examiner, the left prime minister Shen Di is also responsible for supervising this provincial examination. It happens that Shen Di is responsible for supervising. The prime minister's grandson is also a candidate in the same class. As long as Shen Yunchu is brought in, there will be an extra layer of protection!
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a young man rushed in, gasping and saying: "It's bad, Shen, Brother Shen and someone had a conflict on the street!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyu jumped up from his seat.
"Ah, let's go help Brother Shen quickly!" Someone stood up and said.
Zhang Tianyu frowned. He had secretly invited everyone here today. If a group of people rushed onto the street, they would definitely arouse suspicion. He quickly raised his hands to appease everyone present: "Everyone, sit down first. I'll just go and take a look!"
After saying that, he left his seat and walked straight out of the room, and ordered the guards outside to keep an eye on everyone.
...
On the streets of Dongshi.
Shen Yunchu had already blocked the way of Tang Ji and others. He thought that this sweet-looking little girl was the sister or some relative of the young master in front of him, but he didn't expect that she was just a maid. In this case, he had no worries. Seeing that Tang Ji didn't reply, he continued: "Brother, your maid bumped into me, why should you give me an explanation? How about letting her serve me for a day?"
But he didn't know that Tang Ji had come to see Jiu'er as his sister a long time ago, and said coldly: "I'll say it again, stay away!"
"You don't want to toast and eat as a penalty!" When Shen Yun first saw that the other party's attitude was still so bad and determined, he frowned and looked at Jiang Ran, licking his tongue: "It doesn't matter if I don't do anything to your beautiful wife. I’m very proud of you!”
Tang Ji didn't take his scare seriously at all, and replied: "Then you should be lucky that you didn't take action. The last person who wanted to take action is now in the Dali Temple prison."
Hearing the words "Dali Temple", Shen Yunchu was stunned for a moment. He knew the young master of the Qing family of Dali Temple. Moreover, the other man's reckless and rude appearance did not look like a son of an official. After he came back to his senses, , swinging his sleeves: "Boy, don't think I'm joking with you. If you're wise, leave this little girl with me. She'll live better with me than with you!"
Tang Ji was too lazy to argue with him and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, Lao Cheng. If he comes over again, you don't have to be polite!"
Seeing this, Shen Yunchu gritted his teeth. He had never been so humiliated by an unknown boy. He couldn't help but rushed forward again. Unexpectedly, he was kicked to the ground by the strong man in front of him just after taking two steps. He covered his abdomen in pain, pointed at the other person and shouted: "How dare you attack me, you all just wait for me!"
Just when Tang Ji wanted to reply, "I'm waiting," two figures suddenly rushed out from the side street.
Zhang Tianyu quickly walked to Shen Yunchu and helped him up: "Brother Shen, what happened?"
"Brother Tianyu, that kid beat me up in the street, catch him quickly!" Shen Yunchu covered his burning belly and stared at Tang Ji in the distance fiercely.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyu raised his eyes to look at Tang Ji in the distance. When he saw that he was a stranger, he raised the corner of his mouth. As long as he could help Shen Yunchu regain his position, the imperial examination would be stable. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice. : "In the city of Kyoto, under the emperor's feet, you committed a murder in the street, why don't you come over quickly to apologize!"
Tang Ji raised his hand and stroked his forehead, everyone said that Kyoto is good, what's so good about it?
Fortunately, the dandy is acting like a hooligan on the street?
He was not interested in wasting any more time with the other party, and was about to take out the Star Guard's token from his sleeve, but was interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Master Tang!"
I saw a carriage slowly driving over. A girl in a red skirt was lifting the curtain and waving to Tang Ji. After the carriage stabilized, Shangguan Ming pulled Su Qing out of the carriage and walked quickly to him, winking. With smart eyes, he stared at Jiang Ran and said, "Is this Sister Jiang?"
Jiang Ran didn't know Shangguan Ming and raised his eyes to look at Tang Ji.
Jiuer stopped paying attention to Shen Yunchu and whispered a few words into Jiang Ran's ear.
Hearing this, Jiang Ran suddenly understood and saluted, "Miss Shangguan."
Shangguan Ming stopped Jiang Ran's arm in a familiar manner and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Tang really didn't lie. Sister Jiang, you are indeed a natural beauty who will conquer the country!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tianyu and Shen Yunchu were both stunned. Su Qing, the son of the general Zhenguo, and Shangguan Ming, the daughter of Nanping Marquis, had made a marriage contract since childhood. It had long been a good story in the city. They naturally knew each other, but why did Shangguan Ming Do you want to call this pretty boy "adult"?
Is it possible that this guy is still an official of the DPRK?
Su Qing just noticed the situation on the street and asked Tang Ji: "Brother Tang, what's going on?"
"You have to ask them about this!" Tang Ji turned to look at Shen Yunchu, raising the corners of his mouth with a sneer.
Before Su Qing could ask questions, Zhang Tianyu suddenly remembered something, and quickly pulled Shen Yunchu, bowed his head and said: "Master Tang, we were blind and blind and bumped into you just now. I hope you won't blame me."
The other party's attitude changed so quickly that Tang Ji was caught off guard. After reacting, he planned to continue scolding the other party, but he realized that Su Qing was close to his ear.
"Master Tang, one of them is the grandson of Shen Di, the left prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the son of Zhang Xiuhao, the official minister."
Hearing this, Tang Ji's words were temporarily stuck in his throat, and his brows were slightly raised. No wonder these two people were so arrogant.
Just when he was in a daze, Zhang Tianyu continued: "If nothing happens, we will leave first. Master Tang, Lieutenant Su, please take your time and chat!"
After saying that, he pulled Shen Yunchu and turned around to leave.
Watching the two of them go away, Tang Ji always felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't think much about it. He shook his head and turned to Su Qing and said, "Thank you, Brother Su, for helping me out."
Su Qing smiled lightly and replied: "If I don't stand up, will Mr. Tang prepare to send them to Dali Temple as well?"
Tang Ji touched his chin and thought for a while: "You can consider it!"
