Zhang Fuling left, and in the next few days, the entire capital was shrouded in haze.

Many people didn't know what happened, but everyone in the court kept themselves safe. Wen Changjin knelt outside the palace gate, asking to see the old emperor, but the old emperor just said that what Wen did does not mean that the Wen family, and I will not punish the Wen family.

The palace examination three days later arrived as promised.

Zhang Jingrui had already followed Zhang Zhongtang back the day before, and Mingyu got up at dawn.

I was surprised to see Zhou Heng standing in the yard. After all, Zhou Heng is the hardest person to get up early. It seems that this is to cheer him up. Mingyu was so moved that he pursed his lips to control his emotions.

Boss Xue was on the side, wiping her tears with her sleeves, feeling a little like raising her son to get married.

"Boy, take the exam well. If you don't do well, you will lose the face of the young master, otherwise you will really come back to do the accounting."

Mingyu smiled and tried hard to comfort Boss Xue.

"Don't worry, brother, I will take the exam carefully, but it's not bad to come back to do the accounting, no less than being a magistrate."

Boss Xue glared at me instantly, "Is this a matter of money? Do you know the face? I told the patriarch that you will win this time. If you tell me to be a accountant, wouldn't you slap me in the face?"

Seeing that Boss Xue was anxious, Zhou Heng quickly pulled Boss Xue, this guy was really worried.

"Stop talking nonsense, set off quickly and don't delay the palace examination."

When Boss Xue heard this, he didn't talk nonsense anymore. He quickly helped Mingyu carry things and walked directly to the door. Zhou Heng also came out and got in the car together. Seeing Zhou Heng sitting beside him, Mingyu looked nervous.

"Young Master is still going with me?"

Zhou Heng glared at him, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is also participating in the palace examination today, so I naturally want to come over to cheer you up."

Mingyu said oh, but didn't dare to resist and quickly made it in the carriage. Boss Xue whipped the carriage and went out directly.

Soon, I came outside the examination room.

The carriage stopped and the two got off. Boss Xue was afraid that his younger brother would be nervous, and he was afraid that he would not be able to hide his face, so he did not come forward and said more. After all, he would not comfort others. It would be more like a warning if he said too much. At this time, it would be better to speak less.

Not long after standing for a while, a shout in the crowd attracted Zhou Heng's attention.

"Brother, you are really here!"

Zhou Heng turned his head and it was indeed Zhang Jingrui. He had a satin triangle scarf hanging on his left wrist, which matched his clothes very well. If he didn't look carefully, he wouldn't be too eye-catching. When he saw Zhou Heng, he couldn't stop smiling.

Zhou Heng looked behind him and didn't see Zhang Zhongtang's shadow. He probably had lost the exam once. He didn't dare to follow him today, because he was afraid of adding burden to Zhang Jingrui.

He raised his hand and patted Zhang Jingrui on the right arm, "You just came here by yourself?"

Zhang Jingrui grinned and raised his chin to one side.

"I brought a book boy. After all, it's inconvenient to your hands. When I go in, I can see if I can get it in order, otherwise I can't carry this bookcase."

Mingyu had already come over and waved his hand at the little Shutong. After living in Beishan for so many days, they were familiar with each other. They smiled at Zhang Jingrui and naturally took the book box from the little Shutong's hand.

"Give me the bookcase. If you can't get in later, we can take care of each other!"

Xiao Shutong nodded, not too much politeness after all, she was very familiar with her, so she quickly smiled and stepped back.

Zhang Jingrui saluted Zhou Heng respectfully, holding one hand out of the way, and Zhou Heng helped him up with a smile.

"Don't care about these false gifts, how do you feel?"

Zhang Jingrui showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"I'm not nervous at all, and I'm a little excited. I feel much worse than the last time I took the palace exam. I want to put it in for me now and let me practice my skills. I want to do some questions I haven't seen before!"

Zhou Heng had a black line at the end. This guy is a little bit arrogant. Now he learns third-grade mathematics with this kind of virtue. If he learns more deeply, wouldn’t he have to go to the top of his head?

He raised his hand and slapped Zhang Jingrui on the top of his head, and said seriously with a blank look:

"I have to say it as a low-key person for so many times. Don't be arrogant. If you learn well, you may not be able to excel, and don't be eye-catching. Otherwise, you know who stabs the knife in the back and thinks it doesn't matter if the question is simple. I will give you more difficult things after the palace examination. I won't see how I punish you!"

Zhang Jingrui quickly calmed down, and almost had an old problem again. He was just a arrogant person back then, so he attracted attention. He quickly restrained his temperament and stood honestly in front of Zhou Heng.

"Jing Rui is arrogant, please punish me!"

Before Zhou Heng could speak, several people laughed at this place not far away. The few people were dressed in bright clothes and their mocking and contemptuous expressions made Zhou Heng want to beat him up after seeing it. It was not a good-looking lamp at first glance.

"I think it is. This is not Jing Rui from Zhang Zhongtang's family. I really didn't expect that your cousin had a qualification as qualified as his cousin and became a Jinshi three years ago. But you brag about it, why are you here again this year?"

An older man reached out to stop a few people. Obviously he was familiar with these people. This man didn't give Zhang Jingrui any look, but just snorted and said:

"Okay, say a few words, let's hold our breath and calm ourselves down, and just perform normally in a while. Don't influence your performance because of irrelevant people. Besides, Mr. Zhu Xiaochang from Prince Ning's Mansion is here, let's go over and say hello."

As he said that, he called a few people to leave directly, and Zhou Heng took a look in the direction they left.

Sure enough, Zhu Xiaochang came, wearing a half-old Confucian shirt, with a calmness and politeness that was not of this age on his face. He nodded slightly with everyone around him, and his cheeks looked a little thinner than three days ago.

Such a dressing, let alone giving him extra points, he is haggard and down but elegant. In this way, isn’t it not that most people talk about the realm pursued by Confucian scholars?

Zhang Jingrui had envy on his face, but Mingyu looked indifferent. After all, he didn't know anyone. He was able to attend the palace examination for his brother and Zhou Heng, so he saw anyone as if he hadn't seen it.

Seeing that the door was about to gather, it seemed that someone was going to come out to read something, Zhou Heng quickly patted the two of them.

"Okay, hurry up and go there, don't be too anxious. Although time is tight, I believe in your ability. Just read the questions carefully and calculate carefully. The final policy will not go off topic. Remember one sentence, don't be arrogant when you win or lose!"

Zhang Jingrui and Mingyu quickly bowed to Zhou Heng. At this time, their mood was complicated. Today was the day to test everything. Both of them had a lot of firmness on their faces and walked towards the front with their bookcases.

With the abortion, he did not squeeze forward too much, nor was he left behind. He patted the team directly in. Some people came late behind, and kept shouting and begging for being put in. Zhou Heng did not look at it anymore, tidied up his robes and walked directly towards the carriage.

Boss Xue had a puzzled look on his face. Is that over?

"Young Master, let's not wait?"

Zhou Heng looked at Boss Xue, "What are you waiting for? Send me back. I want to check Master Liu's body. There are still many things to prepare before we leave. When the sun is almost sunset, you can just come and pick up Mingyu. The results will be three days later."

Although Boss Xue wanted to stay, he didn't say nonsense when he heard Zhou Heng say this, and he took Zhou Heng away directly.

When he returned to Zhou's mansion, Pang Xiao had already been waiting in the room. Zhou Heng's plan to sleep was disrupted. He quickly walked to Pang Xiao and looked at him with a serious look, puzzled.

"Why is Uncle Xiao coming?"

Pang Xiao turned around and said that Xiao Bo is now on the road in the capital. If he wants to come over, he will usually accompany Zhu Yunmo. In this black clothes, he will suddenly appear. It is obvious that something has happened or something unexpected happens.

"Brother, if something is urgent, I will come to find you directly. The Wen family has been monitored. All their shops and villages have been sent to watch. In addition, I have received news that the factory guards have arrested a group of people from the Jinwu Sect and are undergoing interrogation at this time."

Zhou Heng stared at Pang Xiao, and a surveillance would not make him anxious. It seemed that there was something wrong with this group of people from the Jinwu Sect. Thinking of the arrest of the Censor Hu before, Zhou Heng shivered. Could it be that some senior officials involved?

"Who is involved?"

Pang Xiao’s face was very serious, and he nodded slightly and said:

"One of the people caught was a eunuch in the palace. He was the left guardian of the Jinwu Sect. It is said that he began to train a group of girls more than ten years ago and trained them to send them to various residences.

Some became maids and grew up with young ladies from various families, while others were stolen directly and became young ladies. However, a girl was taken away by a tutor in charge of raising a zither in Jinwu. She didn't find this person until last year.

The piano master refused to admit that the girl was taken out and finally took her to commit suicide. However, the eunuch still found the whereabouts of the woman. She was in Beishan. I want to tell you about this experience, can you guess who this person is, right?"

Zhou Heng stood there in a daze. Needless to say this, even Pang Xiao knew who it was.

If there is only one person who can match his life experience. Last year, Bai Qingyun's adoptive father jumped and committed suicide. Zhou Heng's fingers were cold and his breathing was a little rapid.

At first I just thought that Bai Qingyun was definitely a person with a story, but I didn’t expect that I could contact the Golden Crow Sect. How could this be possible?

At that time, in order not to be manipulated by others, how could a woman who was so decisive could be manipulated by others?

"You mean Miss White?"

Pang Xiao nodded, "You first met on the boat, and Miss Bai and her adoptive father did their best to pick you up and the prince. I'm right?"

Zhou Heng nodded and couldn't say a rebuttal.

Yes, at that time, I was on the boat and I felt that she had come to approach with a purpose at a glance. However, when I got off the boat, she did not pester her, but left alone with her adoptive father. It was also because of this that Zhou Heng felt that his judgment at that time might have been too rational.

Pang Xiao did not pause, and then said:

"After that, Bo Ye and Miss Bai met by chance on the street. When they heard her experience, they immediately wanted to help. The dance and song in the palace were enough to make men fascinated. I think if it was ten years ago, His Majesty would have taken her into the harem.

But then Miss Bai's adoptive father was cheated. You think that a person who can escape from the Golden Crow Sect will be so careless. Perhaps it is because of pressure or protection for Miss Bai, he wants to die with a secret.

Then, by chance, Miss Su Wu caught sight of her and rescued Qiu Niang from that time and treated her in Huichuntang. At that time, Mr. Bo decided to establish a theater in Beishan for business or for her to find another way out.

I don’t need to say anything about what happened next. Qiu Niang was gone and she turned into the manager of Beishan Theater. She is now one of the core personnel of Beishan. But have you ever thought about it? Why are the people of the Jinwu Sect clearly all the things in Beishan?

I understand that the defenses around Boye and the prince were the weakest on the day of the explosion. I knew the layout of the alcohol workshop, and could place bamboo poles and fire pieces at will, and tie the lid of the alcohol can with iron wire.

Although the explosion has been solved now, the person who really controls all this has not been found. Can a Ma Wenliang do so much? Can an ordinary servile servant go to these places at will?

There is another most critical question. Do you know that Miss Bai’s kung fu is no worse than Boss Xue? It may not be possible to fly over the eaves and walls, but it can still be done to deal with one or two strong men, or to go everywhere in a state that is unaware of. Do you know this?"

Zhou Heng plopped and sat directly on the chair. He felt sweaty all over, especially his hands trembling uncontrollably.

He couldn't tell what his feelings he had for Bai Qingyun. If Xiu'er hadn't, he might have happened with Bai Qingyun.

However, Bai Qingyun, who was like a weak wind, had the ability to support a willow. At that time, she raised a knife in a brothel and wanted to commit suicide, as if she was right in front of her.

I held the table and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhou Heng couldn't believe that this was true, but since Pang Xiao came here in person, he must have discovered more than this. Thinking of this, Zhou Heng looked up at Pang Xiao.

"Did Mr. Xiao discover something else? Otherwise, just by the old eunuch's words, you wouldn't come over to say these things."

Pang Xiao sighed and nodded.

"The left guardian of the Jinwu Sect is considered a very high-level person in the Jinwu Sect. However, the upper class has never seen him. He usually receives messages from the note or a man in black holding a token to pass instructions. He knows some of the people below, but the upper class doesn't know.

For example, he didn't know whether Wen Changjin was from the Jinwu Sect. However, a matter involving the Wen family a few years ago was involved. The Left Guardian wanted to send someone to trouble the Wen family, but he was stopped instantly and did not give an explanation, but just said that the Wen family would not move."

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes and caught a bunch of people, but there was nothing really useful to go, but the whole thing was confusing.

From this person's words, it is not difficult to analyze that even if the Wen family is not from the Jinwu Sect, they are still tied to the Jinwu Sect, otherwise such a piece of news would never have been passed down.

Zhou Heng frowned. At this moment, he really wanted to interrogate the old eunuch. He had said too much information about the lack of trouble. After investigating the matter, he did not solve the doubts. Instead, the truth became more and more confusing.

Zhou Heng took a deep breath and calmed himself down as much as possible. Finally, his eyes fell on Pang Xiao again.

"How did Uncle Xiao decide? Since you can know this news, obviously you have a suspicion in the factory guard. Do you want to arrest Bai Qingyun and ask him seriously?"

Pang Xiao shook his head, "These are not something I can control. If the factory guards want to investigate, they will naturally bring people there. If Miss Bai wants to prove her innocence, she needs to withstand all the punishments."

Pang Xiao was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng could express his thoughts directly. There were very few such situations. He stopped looking at Zhou Heng.

"What does Uncle mean?"
