Liu Ran was extremely disappointed with this teacher and decided to leave. Through various channels, he found His Highness the Second Highness, who was well-known in Kyoto's literary circles. According to His Highness's arrangement, he entered the Hanlin Academy to serve as a substitute and helped His Highness handle some trivial matters.
I thought that after finding the second prince as my backer, my destiny would undergo earth-shaking changes. Unexpectedly, I stayed in the Hanlin Academy for several years with no chance of becoming an official.
Until tonight, those horse-faced monsters slaughtered the scribes of the Hanlin Academy and burned down the Hanlin Academy library.
He Liu Ran tried his best to escape from the fire, and when he recalled the horse faces, they were very similar to the sheep head mask he always wore.
A quarter of an hour ago, Liu Ran realized what the teacher had said to him about the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
It turns out those were not made up randomly...
There really is a Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing!
"Teacher, save this disciple! I am your only disciple. You said this yourself."
"But I also remember you said that our relationship between master and disciple has ended. I, the teacher, is just the biggest joke in the whole capital. Having a teacher like me is the biggest shame in your life..."
"Those...those are disciples who were young and ignorant. Now I know that I was wrong, and it was a big mistake. Teacher, I'm sorry, please save the disciple?"
After a brief silence, the old man slowly said: "Are those people still chasing you?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Although I can't see them, I can feel them following me like ghosts."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate will not kill people at will. They have a reason for chasing you. What is the reason?"
"If you don't know it yourself, then there's nothing the teacher can do."
With that said, the old man turned back again.
Liu Ran was very worried and shouted: "Because the students have a list of literati received by the Hanlin Academy, maybe... maybe the Metropolitan Procuratorate is here for this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another thunder outside.
The thunder was so loud that it gave people goose bumps. Along with a gust of wind, all the lights and incense burners in the house were extinguished. The sheep's head mask could only be seen clearly through the flash of lightning, which made everything
They all look even more weird and terrifying!
Liu Ran didn't know why, but after the lights went out in this room, he had something in his mind
I feel a little chilly, and I feel like something is different from before.
Don't dare to look directly at the mask in the dark.
He didn't know why, he had never taken this sheep head mask seriously before.
Thinking about it, a gust of cold wind came from behind, giving people an inexplicable coldness, which made Liu Ran shiver involuntarily.
Liu Ran instinctively turned back and looked outside the house.
There were still people standing outside the house, similar to the situation when the servants surrounded him when he came in.
But the number of people has changed, and the little Taoist boy has disappeared.
They were strange and indifferent black shadows, with a natural coldness. They appeared behind them and seemed to be colder than the wind tonight.
Suddenly, there was another flash of lightning, and Liu Ran suddenly discovered that under the neatly arranged figures at the door, there were familiar and terrifying cow heads!
"Ah!" Liu Ran screamed, so frightened that he collapsed on the ground. His mouth was knotted for a moment, but he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth. He could only make some incomprehensible sounds.
The Hanlin Academy is the largest talent reserve institution in Dahua. Although it has no real power, it has a pivotal position in the world.
No one dares to come to the Hanlin Academy to act arrogantly, and no one dares to do anything to the reserve talents here.
But these bull-head masks took action, and they killed without any scruples, without giving anyone a chance to defend themselves.
How could such a person be human? He was clearly the devil in the night!
Liu Ran felt an unprecedented fear. He never thought that once a person puts on the teacher's mask, he would become so scary...
He really regretted that he didn't see the depths of the teacher at first. He thought that when the teacher wore this mask when he was young, would he be like these people?
"Teacher, save me..."
All Liu Ran's strength turned into these last words, and he was filled with hope despite despair.
After the words, a cold voice came from outside: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has found out that the Hanlin Academy is now controlled by the second prince. Most of the scribes are disguised as Jianghu people, and many wanted criminals have become anonymous with the help of the Hanlin Academy. This
Someone who is in charge of the roster of the Hanlin Academy and manages this matter should be punished."
"Teacher, I didn't! I didn't!"
"Ahem..." Two coughs came from under the sheep-headed mask, "Let's go, he is my disciple."
A light word was exchanged for a simple word behind me.
"yes!"
Liu Ran was stunned, and when he looked back, he saw that only one of the several figures who were outside just now was left.
Niu Mian at the door added: "Nowadays, all departments are busy with affairs. I kindly ask Lord Fengqi to return to the courtyard as soon as possible to take charge of the affairs of the State Education Department."
After saying that, the cow-faced figure flashed and disappeared from Liu Ran's sight.
The house fell into silence, except for the sound of rain and thunder.
Liu Ran's heart was rolling like a river. He had always wanted to get ahead all his life and tried his best to win over the big shots in Kyoto.
I never thought that the biggest person I knew in my life would be the teacher I despised the most.
Those people who kill without batting an eye, the devils who don't take the Second Prince seriously, actually only need a light word from the teacher!
Thinking about it, Liu Ran's heart suddenly became hot, and he crawled forward a few steps in a panic, leaning closer to the old man.
"Teacher, you can actually let those killers go away with just one word? And they seem to be very respectful to you! Why? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You actually hold such great power in your hands
!Then why should I try to curry favor with those people? Teacher, can I join the Imperial Academy? I am willing to tell the teacher everything I know. I know the affairs of the Hanlin Academy. The second prince chooses people from it, and they are not scribes.
, they are all killers with high kung fu skills! I know everything and am willing to say anything. From now on, I will follow the teacher, okay?"
Liu Ran talked a lot excitedly, but when the teacher didn't respond at all, he stopped in confusion.
After Liu Ran stopped talking, the old man slowly spoke: "Are you done?"
"Teacher, please tell me."
"Don't be anxious, just drink some water first."
Liu Ran ran all the way and talked a lot now. His mouth was dry and he quickly picked up the water bottle on the table in front and took a sip. Then he asked: "Teacher, is what I said okay?"
The old man shook his head slowly.
"No?" Liu Ran frowned, "Why?"
"My child, your choice is not right, but it is not too wrong either. The teacher does not want his only disciple to have anything to do with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he never thought of letting you join from the beginning. Now that you are gone,
