Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself.

"how's it going?"

Master Li asked expressionlessly.

At this moment, she had put on a wide blue monk's robe and a flat gray monk's hat, covering her black hair tightly. She was holding a whisk in her right hand and a string of red Buddhist beads in her left hand. She was dignified and solemn, and her whole body was full of emotions It is filled with a sense of alienation that excludes people thousands of miles away, and there is no trace of the frivolity and dissipation in the magnificent palace.

There was a coffin in front of her, and inside lay an old man with a slightly sunken head.

The old man is not dead, his chest is still heaving, but anyone can see that his death will be today or tomorrow.

Turning around suddenly, the cold light in his eyes flashed, making everyone standing in the hall tremble involuntarily.

In the huge Mahavira Hall, except for the golden Buddha statue, everything that could be moved was moved away. Not even a futon was left.

Instead, there were hundreds of nuns and guards dressed in black.

The atmosphere is oppressive and you can hear a pin drop.

No one dared to answer her question.

"Seal down the entire Changzhou Prefecture. If you can't catch it, just go to Tai Lake to feed the fish yourself!"

The so-called pork noodles are actually a type of rotten pork noodles.

Not chunks of good meat, but scraps cut from other meats.

So the price is very cheap and the quantity is large.

After all, it is not easy to eat scraps and rotten meat these days.

Of course, this is what the poor eat.

The rich people only order braised pork and fine grains. If they feel thirsty, they can warm up two or three bowls of wine. If they are drunk, the big car shop can still earn another accommodation fee.

Sitting in the corner of the big car shop, eating noodles, Wu Gong looked at the people in the shop.

It's not dark yet, but people are already drinking.

Several muscular men with round waists were sitting in another corner of the room, drinking wine and shouting loudly.

The shopkeepers and clerks of the big car shop seemed to be afraid of them, but they also had indescribable disgust and helplessness in their eyes.

It seems that he hates them making loud noises in his store, but he doesn't dare to offend them too much.

The surrounding guests also looked disgusted. No one wanted to sit around them, but no one wanted to meddle in their own business.

After all, it's better to get into less trouble when you're out and about.

Wu Gong naturally had no intention of meddling in other people's business. He was thinking about which way he should go.

I just checked with the waiter and found that he has actually reached the edge of Wuxi County.

Keep walking eastward along this road and you will reach Zhenjiang Mansion.

And if you go west, you will reach Jiankang Mansion, which is Jinling.

Wu Gong checked his position slightly.

He decided to continue walking eastward.

Seeing that no one noticed his side.

Wu Gong took out the long note from his arms and prepared to memorize the topics on it and then burn them.

But the more I looked at him, the more I felt something was wrong, and at the same time, intense cold sweat began to break out on my forehead.

He had discovered that he seemed to have guessed the identities of the people at the table incorrectly.

Because the test questions from Wuxi County were not the only ones on the long post, but all the scientific examination questions from all the counties and prefectures along Liangzhexi Road were written on that long post.

This is simply not something that the academic administration of a county government can grasp.

After reading all the content on the long post, Wu Gong knew that he was in big trouble.

No wonder the other party is so nervous.

It turned out that this examination fraud actually involved the entire West Zhejiang Road, seven states, and more than ten prefectures and counties.

If a county's test questions are leaked, it can be solved by replacing the test questions.

Anyway, the provincial examinations are all test questions set by the local government, and they do not need to be very rigorous. It is normal to change the test questions before the test.

But if all the test questions from Liangzhe West Road were leaked, everything would be different.

There were some important state capital examination questions that were to be reported to the imperial court. If they were changed rashly, the officials below had no way of explaining it to the higher authorities.

Once suspicion is aroused and someone from above comes up to investigate, who knows how many people will lose their heads.

Rather than taking the risk of changing the topic and taking back this long post, killing someone and silencing them is the best choice.

Wu Gong felt like he had a hot potato in his hand.

He didn't dare to look at it anymore and hurriedly put it in his arms.

He thought his actions were very secretive.

Unexpectedly, before he raised his head, a smelly palm touched the long post in his arms.

Wu Gong raised his eyebrows and ducked back. He looked up and saw a face full of flesh.

It was none other than the drunkard on the table not far away.

This guy was originally a yamen servant in the government, but he was dismissed because he was drunk and causing trouble.

He had seen this kind of official document and long post when he was working as a yamen servant. He accidentally saw Wu Gong take out the long post and looked at the little beggar. , so he took action to snatch the long post.

"Hey, you dare to hide! What good things are you hiding? Let me see!"

Wu Gong felt a little funny in his heart. Could he have encountered such a bloody thing?

He hurriedly said with a smile: "There is no good thing. This is just a little wine money. Please treat me with a noble hand."

He took out a couple of pieces of silver from his pocket and handed it to the drunk man in front of him.

The drunk man's eyes lit up.

Greed flashed in his eyes.

He took the silver and waved it in his hand for a while, and finally pointed at the drunken men on the table behind him: "Where are these uncle's brothers?"

You ungrateful animal?

Wu Gong's hand had already touched the dagger. He put away his smile and said, "One tael of silver is a lot."

"I can't say enough!"

The drunk man laughed wildly and reached out to pull Wu Gong's collar. At the same time, he also attracted the attention of other people in the car shop.

Wu Gong sighed and was about to take action, but he didn't expect a sound to come from the next table.

"The criminal law of the Song Dynasty stipulates that anyone who robs more than three taels of silver will be punished by death. If you robbed one tael of silver, how many times should you die?"

The drunk man was stunned, his palms hanging in the air.

He was born as a yamen servant, how could he not know about this punishment?

But, how many people abide by this set of punishments now?

Turning around, he saw a handsome young man wearing a yellow silk gown. His skin was as fair and tender as a woman's, and his features were delicate and delicate.

Or perhaps it should be better described as oily hair and powdered noodles, a typical look of a young man from aristocratic family.

Seeing someone coming forward, the drunk man immediately focused his attention on him.

"Where did this pretty boy come from? What does it have to do with you if I teach a little beggar a lesson?"

Judging from your oily hair and pink face, you can't be a rabbit, right? "

Wu Gong also silently put away the dagger.

If you want to leave now, you will definitely not be able to leave, so you can only see if you can find an opportunity to escape later.

After auscultating those disgusting words, the young man in yellow shirt immediately frowned, grabbed the bench beside him and threw it over.
