"Your Majesty, I have an instruction book." Above the early court, a certain censor came out and said.

The emperor glanced at the censor and felt a headache.

"Today's Tanhua Lu Jin, whose mother came from a family background and whose biological father is unknown, taking part in the imperial examination under a false name is a felony!" Yu Shi's words were just and resounding.

The emperor frowned and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

It's not that the emperor doesn't believe in this censor, it's because the speech officials in this dynasty have the right to hear about things, so now the speech officials like to spout casually too much.

Last time, the censor impeached a certain official for having an affair with his daughter-in-law. After further investigation, it was found that this incident was simply conceived by the censor himself to frame a political opponent. [note 1]

In the end, the emperor had to hold his nose and endure it, because the founding ancestors said that as long as the scholar-bureaucrats did not commit the crime of treason, they could not be killed easily.

"This matter was reported by Lu Jin's fellow villager, it's absolutely true!" Yu Shi said loudly again.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether the matter is true or not, it's not a big deal, it's just a teaser, so it should be dealt with according to the law.

The emperor came down to the court with a look of anxiety. The officials in the court were full of cliques, and the imperial power was partly emptied. Now that the officials made mistakes, they could only be demoted but not killed.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty would never allow the emperor to set a precedent for "punishing the scholar-officials".

It happened to be the Empress Dowager's birthday, Lu Jin did not die, but was expelled and never hired.

The owner of the inn invited Lu Jin out very politely. The owner didn't dare to keep him for such a low-born person who got into a lawsuit.

The people who were originally traveling with Lu Jin saw Lu Jin, walked around him with a look of disdain, it was really humiliating to come into contact with such a humble person.

Lu Jin reluctantly held back his embarrassment and frustration, and walked out of the inn as if nothing had happened. He must not lose his composure at this time.Because he knew that in those gloating eyes behind him, there was a person who had denounced him, waiting to see his jokes.

Lu Jin's figure gradually faded away, and those who wanted to see the joke were extremely disappointed, thinking they could see the scene of looking up to the sky and crying.

Several young men in fresh clothes and angry horses hurried past Lu Jin, and knocked down Lu Jin, who was out of his mind. Lu Jin, who came back to his senses, hugged his luggage tightly, and he wrote it with all his heart. theory of state governance.

Ignoring the filthy words of those young masters, Lu Jin lowered his head and clenched his fists and hurried away. Han Chuang studied hard for so many years, but because of his mother's background, his hard work was in vain, and his talent was not recognized .People who were able to drink and talk happily together yesterday as brothers and sisters, can speak ill at each other today and wish they could kick him.Is birth really that important?

The sons behind him are still gossiping about Lu Jin's life experience. They don't have any enmity with people from poor families like Lu Jin, they just don't like him.This feeling is like pulling "other people's children" from the altar.

Lu Jin rented a carriage and went out of the capital overnight. He heard all kinds of bad words when he was a child. After his mother passed away, he chose to leave his hometown. He thought that he would be able to get rid of the troubles caused by his birth, but he was recognized by others. come out.

When you are only one step away from success, but you are knocked into the dust, no matter how tough your heart is, you will inevitably be hit.

Not far in front of the carriage, a group of people wearing night clothes and holding swords appeared.

The coachman stopped the car for an instant, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, it's time to send you on your way!"

Lu Jin was shocked, this is a suburb not far from the capital, at the foot of the emperor, there is actually something like murder and robbery?

The coachman opened the curtain with a knife, and a figure rushed out in an instant, followed by a scream of "Ah~".

A writing brush was stuck in the driver's eye, and blood kept gushing out.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Jin jumped out of the carriage and quickly ran towards the distant woods.

A dozen or so men in black arrived in no time, without even looking at the injured coachman, they directly hacked him to death.

The people behind are chasing after him, how much strength can a scholar have?Lu Jin's physical strength was gradually exhausted.

Fortunately, it is dark now, and there are forests nearby. When Lu Jin accidentally fell, he lay down in the nearby grass, covering his mouth tightly with his hands, for fear of attracting the attention of the man in black.

Seeing Lu Jin suddenly disappear without a trace, the man in black realized that he was probably hiding, so he began to search carefully nearby.

Seeing the footsteps getting closer, Lu Jin's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Do you need my help?" A crisp voice entered Lu Jin's ears.

Lu Jin was startled and almost cried out in fright.He hurriedly looked around, only to see a pair of green fluorescent lights flickering on and off.

"Master, is that you?" Lu Jin couldn't help blurting out, the next moment his face changed suddenly, and he actually made a noise!

But it was already too late at this time, the man in black heard the voice quickly surrounded in this direction.

Duang~Hu Yao appeared and killed all the men in black.

Seeing that there was no danger, Lu Jin stood up from the ground panting heavily. Too many things happened in the past few days, and he couldn't recover.First he was sentenced to death for exposing his identity, then he survived with amnesty, and finally he was chased and killed for no reason. It was too ups and downs!

"Master, why are you here?" Lu Jin who came back to his senses said to the fox in front of him.

There were corpses lying all over the place, but Lu Jin was not surprised by this, who made him have a monster master!

"I'm not worried about you!" Hu Yao replied.Yes, he is now Lu Jin's master.

Maybe it was because of killing too many sins in the previous life, Hu Yao didn't time travel after being killed by radiation, and was directly reincarnated as a little fox.

After practicing on the mountain for a few years, Hu Yao also vaguely knew that this world might not allow the existence of monsters that can transform into forms.

After coming to this touching conclusion, Hu Yao went straight down the mountain. He didn't want to live and sleep in the deep mountains and old forests.

When going down the mountain, I happened to meet Lu Jin's mother running away with the young Lu Jin.

Lu Jin's mother was a famous prostitute of Qinlou Chuguan. Women in the land of fireworks were not allowed to give birth to children, but Lu Jin's mother spent many years of savings to give birth to Lu Jin.Maybe it's because she still has that betrayer in her heart.

But the child was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to reach the time of enlightenment, and the academy would not agree to accept the son of a prostitute no matter what.

As a mother, she has to think about the long-term future of her child, but the ransom money she saved for herself has long since been spent when she gave birth to the child. In desperation, she can only run away with her son.

Unfortunately, her plans are betrayed by a woman who has always been jealous of her.But fortunately, their mother and son met Hu Yao who had just come down the mountain.

"I told you a long time ago, learn more boxing skills, or you will be in such a mess now?" Hu Yao complained.

Lu Jin was shocked, I was able to survive the pursuit of more than a dozen people unscathed, isn't my skill good enough?

Hu Yao despises, your master, killing these people is like trampling an ant to death, but you can only run away, how embarrassing!

Lu Jin ignored the master's words and quickly searched the bodies of the men in black.

"Don't search, you won't find any clues." Hu Yan reminded Lu Jin who was digging through the corpse.

Find a piece of token from the killer or a mark from them belonging to such-and-such organization?

Don't be ridiculous, there will never be anything clearly marked on the killers of ancient times.If someone rummages through the dead body and can find out, who is so stupid to wear a token or something else on his body?

99% of the things that can be dug out are put on the body deliberately, in case the killer's mission fails, it will cause trouble.

Lu Jin sighed and complained: "I didn't expect that this trip to Beijing to catch up for the exam would be so difficult."

On the other side, Hu Yao was calmly destroying the corpse with fox fire.

Lu Jin hurriedly helped Hu Yao clean up the scene together. Seeing that Hu Yao burned the driver and the carriage to ashes, he couldn't bear it, and said: "Just find a place to bury it, why bother to burn it?" Turned into ashes."

In Lu Jin's heart, the simple value of the dead is the greatest. Besides, why did they burn the carriages? Are they going to walk back?

"If you don't deal with it cleanly, you may become a suspect in robbery|robbery|killing tomorrow!" Hu Yao reminded coldly.

Lu Jin was stunned, and a word popped up in his mind - serial plan!The mastermind behind the scenes had already thought that the killer might fail, so he simply blamed himself for the death of the coachman.

Maybe it wasn't a series of tricks, after all, sending more than a dozen people to ambush outside the capital was basically a sure thing.It's just that in the face of the situation where more than a dozen killers have all gone and never returned, the mastermind behind the scenes will probably think of this remedy and make a fuss about these corpses.

"Master is still thoughtful." Lu Jin said in admiration.No matter what kind of guess it is, destroying corpses in the wilderness is the best choice.

Hu Yao nodded in agreement. After all, she has done a lot of bad things, so she still needs to gain some experience.

After making sure that no trace was left, Lu Jin and Hu Yao left here.

"I'm just a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, why would someone chase me down?" Lu Jin was thinking about this question along the way.To be able to send so many people to kill at the foot of the capital, the people behind the scenes may have a lot of background.

Hu Yao said casually: "Could it be that a lady from the gentry has taken a fancy to you, but she already has a marriage contract, so her father or fiancé wants to kill you for the sake of face."

Lu Jin retorted, if this happened, it was also the girl's problem, why did Mao want to chase and kill him, and vented his anger?

Hu Yao felt that his guess was reasonable, and it was not like he had never seen such a thing before.

A certain man had a crush on a girl, but the girl suddenly had a boyfriend.The man felt very lost, so he intended to commit suicide.

After the man's relatives and friends learned about this incident, they all accused the girl of being irresponsible, did she want to kill someone?

It is not uncommon for people who regard wishful thinking as lonely and courageous.

The author has something to say: The character Lu Jin in this unit, the character prototype refers to Gu Xichao from the TV series "The Cold Against the Water".

[Note 1]: Northern Song Yushi Jiang Zhiqi and Peng Siyong claimed that Ouyang Xiu had an improper relationship with his daughter-in-law, and refused to provide the emperor with an accurate source of information.

Later, Song Shenzong just demoted the two censors to the outside world.
