Sighing secretly in his heart, Wang Junlin walked lightly and walked to the high platform in the middle of the examination room. He watched the candidates walk into their cubicles one by one. Then not long after, he heard the rustling of writing pen coming from all directions. Voice.
Listening to this beautiful voice, and thinking of the notes sent to him by people from various forces, Wang Junlin couldn't help but have a strange smile on his lips.
Three days ago, officials and nobles who were familiar with him first sent gifts and notes. In the next two days, everyone, whether they knew him or not, came to his door and gave him heavy gifts. At the same time, they left a note. Naturally, there are names of people written on them, ranging from one to four or five.
This result is actually not difficult to understand, because no matter who wants to cheat, they must go through Wang Junlin.
After walking around every examination room in the examination hall, Wang Junlin returned to the corner door. Niu Jinda had already made tea and was waiting. He watched him sit on the chair and then took out a roll of paper and handed it to Wang Junlin. He lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Shen Guang sent someone to deliver this just now."
Wang Junlin sat down and took a sip of tea, then opened the scroll and read it.
The roll of paper is divided into two sections. The front is the name of each powerful family, and the back is the name of some people who correspond to it.
The first one is Donggong, followed by only one name - Xu Jingzong. After the name is a sentence explanation: This person was originally Yang Su's staff and became Donggong's staff half a month ago.
"Xu Jingzong's reputation in history is no less than that of Changsun Wuji. He also served as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in history, but he was notorious and was characterized as a treacherous minister." Wang Junlin thought about his plan while Looking through several small doors, he cast his eyes towards the innermost part of the examination hall.
If those candidates who are still struggling to write their papers knew that the results of the first examination to obtain scholars in the Sui Dynasty had already been divided up by various noble families and big shots in the various political and central forces, what would they think?
The students in the examination hall were still doing the test papers nervously, and it was gradually getting dark. Wang Junlin walked around the field a few times, and after looking at the test papers, he found that more than ten people had real knowledge and were quite thoughtful about the questions. Pragmatic people include Fang Qiao and East Palace aide Xu Jingzong whom he had brought in before. Moreover, these two people are also very talented in literature and their overall strength is considered the best among them.
Except for the two people, he secretly wrote down the names of these people one by one, and then left the examination room. From a distance, he saw Niu Jinda half lying on the chair at the corner door, about to fall asleep. He couldn't help but laugh, thinking about Niu Jinda He is also a wonderful person, he has the ability to do things naturally, and his personal force is also extremely strong. If he is trained and tempered, he will definitely be a strong man, but his ability as a person is a little worse. Maybe he has just started to learn to flatter, and every time When he saw Wang Junlin, he was extremely respectful, which made Wang Junlin feel uncomfortable for no reason.
At this time, Wang Junlin suddenly saw a subordinate official walking from the back hall of the examination hall. He glanced at it and looked away, but then he felt something was wrong. He turned back to look at the subordinate official for a while and smiled: "You are who?"
The clothes on his body showed that he was a subordinate of the Yushitai. As soon as Wang Junlin opened his mouth, he suddenly stepped forward and respectfully whispered to Wang Junlin. "What the Marquis needs is in the hands of the Princess. Princess, please The Marquis will go get it himself."
Wang Junlin looked at the ordinary face of this subordinate, and suddenly said: "Nighthawk, your disguise skills have improved a lot recently!"
The subordinate official said in a low voice with a smile on his face, "It's mainly because I learned two tricks from Mr. Hou, but I can't escape Mr. Hou's discernment."
Wang Junlin looked into his eyes, thinking that Nighthawk might have disguised himself into the exam hall not just to convey the eldest princess's words to him, but he couldn't explain clearly at the moment. So he smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess told the specific time.
No?"
"Within three days." The subordinate official responded softly.
"Okay, I have one more thing I need your help with. I need to check the origins of a few people." Wang Junlin told the Nighthawk envoy the names of more than a dozen talented people he had discovered earlier, and said quietly: "Not only do I need to check their
We also need to check their family background and what kind of people they are."
The subordinate dressed as the Nighthawk envoy said softly with a strange expression: "The eldest princess has an order. From now on, whatever the Marquis requests, the Marquis will first tell His Highness the Princess in person, and then His Highness will give orders to the subordinates."
"I understand, please tell Her Royal Highness Princess to eat less tonight. As soon as the sun sets, I will go to him to get what I need." Wang Junlin showed no expression on his face, but there was a wry smile in his heart.
Incessantly. After the exciting affair that night, the reason why he never went to Yang Lihua again was because it was too dangerous to have an affair with a widowed princess.
Regardless of Yang Jian or Yang Guang, once they know about this matter, out of consideration for the royal family's dignity and face, they will definitely have murderous intentions towards him.
Moreover, Wang Junlin recently discovered that Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and even Yang Yong were not completely at ease with Yang Lihua, his daughter or sister. He colluded with Yang Lihua. The stronger his ability, the more he would be suspected by the Yang family and his son.
Conspiracy and other very dangerous things, especially after he vaguely realized that Yang Lihua really intended to use him to do those dangerous things, he instinctively wanted to distance himself from the other party, and tried to get rid of his dependence on Nighthawk as much as possible.
considerations in this regard.
"I understand." Nighthawk was stunned for a moment, a little confused as to why Wang Junlin wanted the eldest princess to eat less, but he was smart enough not to ask questions and left.
…
…
Late at night, Gao Ying sat alone on the Taishi chair in the back hall of the examination hall. While drinking the cool fruit juice, he analyzed what Wang Junlin had done in the past few days. He wondered why Chong Lao had not used his methods yet.
It worked, and combined with other things, he couldn't help but have a vague feeling that Wang Junlin was unfathomable.
Especially when he took advantage of the Tengu eclipse of the sun more than a month ago, he made an extremely careful plan. He was 70% sure that he could force Yang Jian to change his mind and allow the eldest prince Yang Yong to take over the East Palace again. However, in the end, he was inexplicably defeated by Wang Junlin.
He used big-character posters and other means to incite the people to destroy the Changping Prince's Palace. Not only was he completely defeated, Yang Yong's reputation was also greatly affected.
Before, he had always thought that Wang Junlin was a foreign expert with strange abilities. He mainly used his various strange methods to solve problems and then used force and violence. In fact, whether it was the case of the Sledgehammer Iron Shop or the Dayun Restaurant,
This is true for murder cases. Although the methods used by Wang Junlin in these two incidents were powerful, in his opinion, it was mainly because Wang Junlin had some weird abilities.
It wasn't until the Changping Palace was destroyed by nearly ten thousand irrational people, which revealed Wang Junlin's control over people's hearts, that he had a new understanding of Wang Junlin and his fear increased greatly.
"What is Wang Junlin doing now?" Gao Ying suddenly frowned and said.
A hoarse voice immediately came from the shadows behind him: "Gong Gao, wait a moment. I'm going to ask the boys in charge of watching."
Gao Ying nodded, and the figure in the shadow quietly disappeared. Not long after, the figure emerged from the shadow like a ghost, and said in a low voice: "Reporting to Gao Gong, Wang Junlin climbed over the wall and left the examination institute. Let's
My brother followed me and has not come back yet.”
…
…
Since arriving in the capital, Wang Junlin has known that many forces have been sending people to keep an eye on him. Even after the autumn examination started today, in the examination hall, he found that at least two subordinates and one official had been deliberately or unintentionally
Stare at yourself.
It was just getting dark. After Wang Junlin climbed over the wall from the examination hall in the dark, he stretched his waist and thought of the romantic and tender plan he was going to carry out tonight. A happy smile appeared on his face and he walked towards a street at the corner.
Went into the alley.
Since tonight's affair must go away, the dangers of this matter can only be forgotten for the time being.
In any case, it is always a wonderful thing for a woman to want to have a tryst with him, not to mention that this woman is very beautiful, and she is a noble princess, and even once was the queen of a country. Besides, he always has feelings for Yang Lihua.
There is some different kind of affection in it.
Occasionally there are pedestrians passing by at the entrance of the alley, and some vendors who have set up stalls for the whole day have finished their hard work and are taking a shortcut with their carts to go home for dinner. Wang Junlin thought of the beauty and tenderness of his last affair with Yang Lihua,
With a gentle smile as beautiful as the sun on his face, he walked slowly towards the alley.
A trolley pushed over from behind him. Just as he was about to pass by, Wang Junlin suddenly flipped his left wrist. The miniature steel crossbow in his left cuff suddenly shot a steel bullet at the vendor pushing the trolley.
prick.
There was a muffled sound, such a close distance, and caught off guard. Even though the spy dressed as a small vendor was a master in the foundation building stage, the iron thorn was inserted into his throat.
Before he could even scream, he pinched his neck and fell to the ground with a look of disbelief.
At the same time as he was shooting out the iron thorn, Wang Junlin was already stepping on the overturned cart. He floated to the end of the alley like light smoke. The dragon bird sword in his right hand cut off his head like lightning, and he held a miniature steel crossbow in his left hand. The crossbow was extremely weird.
The ground pierced out from under his right armpit, and three iron thorns were fired at the other spy dressed as a coolie who had a look of astonishment on his face.
As the coolie screamed, he swung the steel knife in his right hand and tried his best to block Wang Junlin's Dragon Bird Sword. However, all three iron thorns were shot into his chest. His body shook and he screamed.
In an instant, Wang Junlin chopped off his entire head with one knife.
After finishing the work, Wang Junlin quickly pulled out three iron thorns from the dead man's body with a calm expression and walked out of the alley quickly.
After coming out of the alley, there were three people following Wang Junlin. I don't know who sent them, but Wang Junlin found an opportunity to kill them all.
