Chapter 143 The same examiner

When Prince Ning and his men arrived, the five guards of the royal palace were already lying on the ground, Huang Zhong had a broken calf and leaned against the wall, causing cold sweat to burst into tears.

Prince Ning asked in shock and angrily: "Where is Xu Jin?"

Huang Zhong endured the pain and said, "Run over there, there are masters around him."

"Barewell!" Prince Ning roared and chased after him with more than a dozen guards.

Xu Jin and Erniu Zhao Xing and the other two ran along the alley for a cup of tea and finally arrived on the main street.

Zhao Xing asked, "Mr. Xu, the two young masters have already gone to the Governor's Office to ask Lord Sun for help. Should we go back to the inn or to the Governor's Office?"

"Go to the Governor's Office!" Xu Jin said decisively. He was really worried that the simple and crude Prince Ning would run to the inn to arrest him, so he felt that it would be safe to go to the Governor's Office. I hope Sun Sui has returned to the city.

Fortunately, there was still about a quarter of an hour before the curfew, and the three of them were unobstructed on the street. If they were a little later, the intersections of each street would be blocked.

Xu Jin and the other two carried lanterns and walked towards the north of the city. At this time, Xie Erjian rushed up from behind.

"Hey, second brother, are you injured?" Xu Jin couldn't help but say in a speech when he saw that the clothes on Xie Erjian's waist were stained with blood.

Xie Erjian said relaxedly: "It's not a big deal that I've just been cut a little bit, let's go quickly."

Seeing that Xie Erjian looked as usual and walked as fast as he could, Xu Jin felt a little relieved when he saw that he was not seriously injured.

At this moment, a large group of people came towards the street. Everyone was shocked. They thought that the guards of the Ning Palace were taking a shortcut to block them. But when they calmed down, they saw that there were two young scholars walking in front of the team, which were Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong, and an energetic old man next to them was Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi.

"Ziqian!" The Fei brothers were happy when they saw Xu Jin and quickly moved them to meet them.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that the reinforcements were coming. Xu Jin quickly stepped forward and saluted Sun Sui and Xu Kui and said, "Xu Jin pays homage to the governor, and to the great master!"

Sun Sui smiled and nodded, saying that the bandits in Qianshan were successfully wiped out, and the capture of the bandit leader Wu Sanba was all due to Xu Jin. In addition, Xu Jin was also a disciple of his good friend Fei Hong, so Sun Sui still valued Xu Jin more, otherwise he would not have heard the news and immediately took people to Ning Wang Mansion.

Xu Kui glanced at Xie Erjian with blood on his body and asked in confusion: "Xu Ziqian, how did you come out of the royal palace? Did you break out forcibly?"

Although Xu Jin was not very interested in Xu Kui, the other party and Sun Sui came together, obviously preparing to go to the Ning Palace to save him, and he was also kind-hearted, so he still said respectfully on the surface: "Go back to the Grand Master, it was Empress Lou who let me go out of the mansion, but Prince Ning sent someone to chase me halfway. We were lucky enough to escape. I'm afraid that the prince's guards would chase me in a while. I hope the two adults will come back to protect one or two!"

When Sun Sui and Xu Kui heard this, they suddenly realized that although King Ning Zhu Chenhao had a bad reputation, Concubine Lou was well-known and had a kind heart. It was not surprising that Xu Jin could be let go.

Sun Sui nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will be able to protect you from being in good condition, but don't go back to the inn. Let's stay in my governor's yamen tonight. I will wait for the examination to be over. I will ask you to leave Nanchang if I ask you to leave!"

As long as the person is not brought into the Ning Prince's Mansion, Sun Sui is confident that he can guarantee Xu Jin's safety. Unless Ning Prince rebels now, he will not dare to touch him, the governor of Jiangxi.

Xu Jin hurriedly said, "Thank you Governor to return to protect me!"

Sun Sui left half of his personal soldiers to guard the streets, and then took Xu Jin and others to the north of the city.

Shortly after Xu Jin and others left, Prince Ning brought more than a dozen guards in the royal palace to fight fiercely, but was stopped by Sun Sui's personal soldiers.

"I am Prince Ning. In Nanchang City, who dares to stop me?" Brother Zhu cursed angrily.

However, these personal soldiers received all the food sent by Sun Sui by privately, so they naturally obeyed Sun Sui's orders. They were not scared by Prince Ning. They still blocked the road without giving in a step, and their swords and guns were unsheathed.

The captain of the personal soldiers, Fan Yi, said coldly: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, the governor has an order to temporarily block this street. Besides, it's time to get a curfew. Please come back!"

Brother Zhu was so angry that his nose was crooked, but now his father brought most of the three guards of the royal palace out of the city to hunt. He felt less confident and did not dare to conflict with the governor's yamen.

"Damn it, Sun Sui, I will settle this account with you sooner or later, and you, you... wait!" Brother Zhu's finger almost poked under the nose of Fan Yi, the personal soldiers' team, and threatened with a grim voice: "Don't fall into this prince's hands in the future!"

After Brother Zhu finished speaking, he left angrily with someone. After so much effort, he finally worked in vain. His prince was so angry that his chrysanthemum hurt!

Fan Yi watched Brother Zhu take the people away, then spitted on the ground and said disdainfully: "Stop it, brothers, stop the team!"

Sun Sui's personal soldiers were selected from Fuzhou Guards and Ganzhou Guards. Even if Sun Sui was transferred to the post in the future, they would at most return to the garrison station at the garrison station, so there was no need to look at the face of the Ning Prince's Mansion.

In the governor's yamen, Sun Sui asked about Xu Jin's arrest in the Ning Palace, and Xu Jin roughly said it, but the passage of "inquiry" by Concubine Lou was concealed.

After hearing this, Xu Kui couldn't help but say angrily: "It's outrageous, Prince Ning is so despicable."

Prince Ning planned to imprison Xu Jin from participating in the examination, and spread rumors to corrupt Xu Jin's reputation. However, now that Xu Jin has successfully escaped, the plan naturally went bankrupt. In addition, Xu Kui, the great master here, spreading rumors is useless.

Sun Sui said: "Ru Deng, you will preside over the examination tomorrow. Let's go back and rest first. Ziqian, the people will offer sacrifices to the people. You all live here tonight. Let's go to the Admiral College to participate in the examination tomorrow morning!"

Xu Jin and the Fei brothers hurriedly thanked him. As the chief examiner of the college entrance examination, Xu Kui had violated the rules when meeting the candidates privately before the exam, and he immediately said goodbye and left.

Next, Sun Sui called a servant to prepare a room for Xu Jin and others. The back of the Governor's yamen was originally intended for the Governor's family to live. This time, Sun Sui went to Nanchang to take office and did not bring his family, so there were many empty rooms, so Xu Jin and others were more than enough to arrange for Xu Jin and others to stay in.

Besides, Prince Ning returned to the palace. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more unwilling he became. So he took Shiwei away from the palace and headed straight to the residence of the censor Liu Zhong.

It is worth mentioning here that the Censor of the Supervisory Censor is a censor under the Censorate. Each province has several Censors who are responsible for picking up local officials. To some extent, it is equivalent to the officials of the Discipline Inspection Commission sent by the central government to the landlords. It belongs to the emperor. Therefore, although the official position of the Censor is not high, local officials must respect it. Otherwise, if the Censor is caught by the Censor and is involved in a book, it will be in trouble.

Liu Zhong was the censor who was the inspector of Jiangxi Road. He was the judge of the Wenwang Pavilion that day. This person seemed notarized, but in fact he was secretly dependent on the Ning Wang Mansion. In the last dance competition, Liu Zhong voted for Zhu Qingshan of Nanchang Mansion.

In this examination, the censor Liu Zhong happened to be the same examiner (i.e., the deputy examiner).
