Daming King of Punishment

"Lord Bai, I know about this matter. You have King Jin backing you up, but Lord Bai, don't let the matter go. We have never had any grudges against Lord Bai. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. In the future, we will definitely There is a chance to meet each other. It must be an embarrassing situation when Mr. Bai is unwilling to meet with me in the future, right?"

Zhu Yuanlong's words were considered polite. Although his eyes had already betrayed him, the words on his lips did not show much ferocity.

Bai Zhuo nodded: "My lord, of course what you said is true. In front of you, I am just a junior, so naturally I have to respect Mr. Zhu. However, now that the imperial examination is related to the country, I have also received the favor of the Holy Majesty. "Thanks to King Jin's trust, I have to take this matter seriously. If the adults think this is what I mean, then the adults will misunderstand the official. I also ask the adults to be considerate of me. After all, this It is not something that the official can weigh."

Instead of confronting Zhu Yuanlong, Bai Zhuo said something nice to them.

Although these words explained Bai Zhuo's actions, and even threw everything to the emperor and King Jin, but it was more or less a step down for these adults.

The faces of those adults eased somewhat, and Zhu Yuanlong, who had revealed his fierceness for a moment, also took a deep breath at this moment.

"Master Bai is right. I am just angry with what happened today, and I am not completely blaming Mr. Bai. It's just that this matter made me wait for no reason, and it is inevitable that I will be a little angry in my heart. I will not wait long for this matter. What did you say, I hope Lord Bai can explain it to King Jin, so that I can perform my duties, so that I won’t have to report to the Holy Majesty when I return to court.”

The dialogue between the two sides has now eased down.This way, they don't have to make a fuss.

Soon Zhu Yuanlong and others left the examination room in sedan chairs one after another, and Bai Zhuo also left the examination room under the escort of the guards.

After leaving the place they didn't want to in the examination room, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo met each other.

"Xiaohuan, so you and Brother Wuya got together. I said how I searched for you for a long time, but I didn't see you." Bai Zhuo smiled when he saw the three of them, and said to Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan nodded and said, "I was waiting for you outside the examination room. I didn't expect my uncle and miss to come, so I followed them."

Bai Zhuo smiled at her, then turned to Song Wuya: "Brother Wuya, how is the situation at the dock?"

"Everything is going well so far, but I don't know what the result will be." Song Wuya said with a slight smile.

"Then what are your plans next?" Bai Zhuo asked after Song Wuya.

Now several cases are pressed together, it is very difficult to find out.But generally speaking, the imperial examination was not too much of a hassle, but now that Song Wuya was busy with his affairs, he had to set up a chess game, and he had to lure them into it.

In any case, judging from the current situation, the possibility of them making a major discovery is not high. The only possibility is that they can learn more about the inside story behind Guanshan Restaurant here.

Asked by Bai Zhuo, Song Wuya said: "You don't need to pay attention to the matter at the pier now, I said it yesterday, I'm going to look for this Young Master Tang again, and see if I can get some news from him Come out. After all, the case eight years ago has been determined to be an unjust case by us. If we ignore it, it is really unreasonable. I don’t know if this Young Master Tang will be killed because of his personal enmity with me. Don't care about his uncle."

"Hey!" Bai Zhuo followed with a sigh: "It's hard to say this kind of thing! After all, it's been eight years, not to mention an uncle, even the parents' relationship would have been broken long ago. After all, this This Young Master Tang is different from us, he is a full-fledged playboy. He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, I am afraid that the one who is doted on by his parents will not know what family affection is."

"That's not necessarily the case." Situ Wen retorted Bai Zhuo. "Although he is a dandy, you can't see through him just like that. This person has an unknown side, and maybe this Young Master Tang is a person who values ​​affection."

Several people insisted on their own opinions, these are all speculations, Song Wuya nodded: "Anyway, just go find this guy and ask him, and you will know everything about what kind of person he is."

Everyone nodded in agreement, the matter in front of them was not important to them, but Song Wuya just didn't want this Tang Ruli to die unjustly.

When they returned to their residence, it was already noon. They simply ate something and took a rest.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhuo left early.He is also very serious about the imperial examination. At this moment, he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he dare not be careless in the slightest.

But Song Wuya did not bring Situ Wen along, he came to the street alone.He wandered around, searched almost all restaurants, inns, teahouses, and places where people gathered, but he couldn't find the trace of Young Master Tang.

At this moment, Song Wuya couldn't help frowning: "It seems that this guy may really be hiding in Guanshan Restaurant."

Except for Guanshan Restaurant, he searched almost everywhere, but he still couldn't find this guy, which made Song Wuya think that this Young Master Tang must be hiding in Guanshan Restaurant.

If this is the case, then he has nothing to do.

Originally at this time, Tang Chenghui became the most critical person in the old case eight years ago, but he just didn't show up.

In desperation, Song Wuya had no choice but to find the guard again.

A lot of imperial guards have been dispatched, and there are not many people left at the moment.

"Help me find out where Tang Chenghui is hiding now." Song Wuya still asked them to handle this matter, seeing that the guards nodded and were about to leave, Song Wuya suddenly stopped him again: " By the way, let's check Zhu Yuanlong's imperial examination situation."

After supplementing this question, Song Wuya has nothing more to explain.

The reason why the imperial guards were asked to investigate Zhu Yuanlong was entirely because Song Wuya saw murderous intent in Zhu Yuanlong's eyes this morning.And such a fierce look, not everyone can show it.The most common person is the executioner.So Song Wuya suspected that Zhu Yuanlong might have killed someone with his own hands. After all, even if he had been a supervisor and beheader, he might not have such an expression.

Watching the imperial guards leave, Song Wuya didn't feel relaxed, but felt that things were getting heavier.

Whether the case eight years ago can be investigated clearly requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time.However, the case about private salt involved Guanshan Restaurant, which would be even more troublesome.

After all of these reached an impasse, Song Wuya really began to feel a little worried.

After all, although there are clues and directions for investigation of all things, there is no way to quickly investigate them.

Song Wuya sat quietly in the teahouse, he had no other place to go except this place at the moment.

This provincial capital is completely a puddle of muddy water.What they investigated was nothing more than a few rotten logs in the muddy water.If you want to get a thorough understanding of this place, you must let out the muddy water completely, so that you can see clearly what filth is buried underneath.

At the same time, Bai Zhuo was in King Jin's other courtyard.

King Jin and Bai Zhuo sat facing each other, with tea placed in front of them.

Beside King Jin, there were boxes stacked one by one, divided into two piles, all of which were sealed.Inside these boxes are the results of the two imperial examinations this time and the previous one.

All the examination papers for the exams are placed here, waiting for the next examination papers.

"My lord, Brother Wuya has used quite a few guards these days. Are there enough guards for this time?" Bai Zhuo is also very clear about what Song Wuya has been doing these days, and he also knows that Song Wuya has been under the supervision of King Jin. A lot of imperial guards have been borrowed here, and at this moment in King Jin's other courtyard, there are almost only the number of people left to protect King Jin Zhouquan.

Hearing this, King Jin smiled slightly: "Brother Bai, it seems that you are very worried about the result of this time! You can rest assured about this. You can just use as many guards as there are left now."

King Jin was so magnanimous, but Bai Zhuo was a little afraid to agree. After all, the imperial examination is very important, but the safety of His Highness King Jin is not child's play.

"But in that case, there will be no guards to protect the safety of King Jin." Bai Zhuo looked at King Jin worriedly and said.

But Jin Wang smiled slightly, and didn't care about it at all: "This king can also participate in it, and then they can protect both the test paper and this king!"

Chapter 638 Surprise but no danger

"Then I can only wrong you, my lord." Hearing what King Jin said, Bai Zhuo was still embarrassed, but he had no other choice.After all, the matter of the imperial examination is also very urgent. Since King Jin himself said so, he had no choice but to agree.

"Don't be wronged, don't be wronged. If I exchange my king's safety for our pillars in the country, that would be a good thing." Jin Wang is quite open about this matter.

I don't know if what he said is true or false.

Song Wuya, who had been waiting in the teahouse for more than two hours, finally expected the guards to arrive.

After the imperial guards found Song Wuya, they sat down by themselves, and saw that the people around them were not paying attention, and then they lowered their voices and told Song Wuya the result of the investigation.

"Lord Song, Tang Chenghui is hiding in Guanshan Restaurant. As for Master Zhu Yuanlong you asked to investigate, he has been an official for 12 years, and he is over forty now, but he is indeed a member of the Jiangnan Tribute Academy. of."

The guard's investigation was very quick, and the results of these two matters were all resolved within two hours.

Just as Song Wuya expected before, Tang Chenghui probably hid in Guanshan Restaurant.However, his doubts about Zhu Yuanlong were in vain.Originally, he was thinking whether this Zhu Yuanlong was the real murderer of the murder case eight years ago, but now it seems that this matter should have nothing to do with him.

Since Tang Chenghui won't come out in Guanshan Restaurant, Song Wuya has nothing to do with him.
