There was a thunderbolt in the sky, strong winds rose, dark clouds gathered, and a downpour was about to begin.
The weather in July is subject to change.
??In Dongguo, the capital, upstairs at Fuman, Ye Junsheng looked at the change in the weather, his face tightened slightly, he stood up to pay, and prepared to return home.
The storm is coming and the streets are busy. Pedestrians rushing around, vendors in a hurry to close their stalls, and women looking for chickens and dogs all mixed together to form an intricate scene.
Walking leisurely on the street, Ye Junsheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He glanced at a skinny man who bumped into him in front of him. He was alert. Without any explanation, he threw the cloth bag he was carrying in his hand to cover his face. .
There was a sharp sound breaking through the air, and the cold light was dazzling. The man's left hand hidden in his waist held a sharp dagger and stabbed it at the chest.
The dagger hit the cloth bag, and the package was torn into pieces, with pieces of golden chicken flying in the sky.
These chickens are Fumanlou¡¯s signature dish, and Ye Junsheng originally wanted to bring them back to Ye Junmei.
Ye Junmei loves to eat chicken!
The man's dagger was extremely sharp, and the tip was like piercing tofu. He pierced a fat chicken leg, and the oil hung on it.
Phew!
A grocery vendor who was cleaning up his stall on the side flicked his wrist, and the pole, which was originally used to carry the burden, swept towards Ye Junsheng's waist with a move of "sweeping thousands of troops";
There was the sound of breaking wind again behind, and it was like a light. Without looking back, you could tell that it must be a weapon like a long sword.
The three people, like horns, suddenly launched an attack and ambushed Ye Junsheng.
This is definitely a carefully planned killing game.
What a scholar Ye, he was in a dangerous situation, he was not afraid in the face of danger, he twisted his body, found a gap at the last moment, rushed over in one stride, and narrowly avoided three waves of attacks.
He practiced the "Eight Swords of Yongzi" persistently, which not only made his body functions stronger, but also made his footwork extremely flexible.
The sure-hit attack failed, and the three people were obviously unexpected, and they all said "Eh" in unison.
"Walk!"
After missing a single hit, the three of them looked at each other, each showing off their skills, and fled in different directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
These people are really decisive.
Ye Junsheng's face was gloomy, and his thoughts were spinning, wondering who he could be, braving the disapproval of the world, and actually dared to kill people in the capital.
¡°It¡¯s just that after thinking about it over and over again, it¡¯s hard to figure it out for a while.
The scene just happened in a flash of lightning, and many people on the street didn't see it. A few people who saw some clues looked at Ye Junsheng with surprised eyes.
It is not suitable to stay here for a long time.
Ye Junsheng reached out to brush the dust off his body and walked away.
After he left, a livid face slowly poked out of a private room window facing the street in Fuman Building. It was Mr. Wen, a confidant of Jizhou Chu Zhizhou.
"As expected, this Ye Junsheng is definitely not a white-faced scholar with no power to restrain a chicken. He has a lot of hidden agendas."
"It seems that your previous guess is quite accurate. Could it be that the death of the young master is really related to this son?"
Mr. Wen's eyes flickered, and he remembered that Xiu Shu asked Zhu Qizhen to find an opportunity in Dao'an Mansion to kill the Ye brothers and sisters, but in the end, Zhu Qizhen disappeared inexplicably.
The causes and consequences, and all kinds of doubts, all fit together and pointed at Ye Junsheng.
"If everything comes true, then this scholar will seem too scary.
"No, we must inform the Lord immediately."
Without thinking, Mr. Wen stomped downstairs, walked through the streets and alleys, and finally returned to the Chu Mansion on Hanlin Street¡ª¡ª
Yes, at the beginning of the year, Chu Zhizhou received an order and was transferred from the post of Jizhou Zhizhou and returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Rites. On the surface it looks like he has been promoted back to Beijing, but in fact his status has declined. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of rituals and music, sacrifices, court gatherings, banquets, schools, and imperial examinations. It is not unimportant, but it is different from Chu Yunyu's expectations.
Originally, he was sent by the prince to Jizhou to clear out the influence of the second prince. After the success, he returned his clothes to the capital and was promoted to a Hanlin scholar.
However, contrary to expectations, Chu Yunyu suffered a huge setback in Jizhou. Of course, the first one to bear the brunt of the disaster was his beloved son's unexpected death. Then, the Holy Dragon recovered his body, came back from his illness, and resumed his administration.
As a result, the prince had to hand back his power, and the originally grand rectification campaign was suspended.
It was against this background that Chu Yunyu was transferred from Jizhou and returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Rites.
This move was regarded as a failure by him and he was very resentful. Especially when Ye Junsheng suddenly appeared and won the title of the best talent in the world, he felt restless.
In Chu Yunyu's mind, Ye Junsheng had long been classified into the second prince's camp, and he was definitely an important chess piece.
Nowadays, Ye Junsheng is famous all over the world. If he takes part in the imperial examination high school again, he will definitely soar to the sky and can no longer be suppressed.
The king is back in power. It is said that he is quite dissatisfied with the prince's eagerness to attack the second prince and has a grudge against him. There are also complaints from the government and the public. From time to time, there are letters from the imperial censor, impeaching the prince for being arrogant and arrogant.
All of the above indicate that the situation is beginning to become more subtle. Once something uncontrollable happens or someone appears, variables will arise and even the entire situation will fundamentally change.
Ye Junsheng is probably such a key figure.
" If Ye Junsheng was only a local talent with a weak reputation in Jizhou, he would have jumped out in time, not standing in danger, and rushed to Yangzhou in advance, and finally achieved the reputation of "the number one talent". Chu Yunyu had to treat this speed of growth with caution, and smelled a dangerous aura.
Generally speaking, scholars are not terrible. What is terrible are scholars like Ye Junsheng who do not follow the routine. There is no trace of the sluggishness of a nerd in him, nor the uprightness and uprightness taught by sages. He is erratic and unpredictable.
When you think you know him well enough, the final fact proves: you are totally wrong.
Chu Yunyu has been an official for decades and has read a lot of people. He thinks he is very familiar with the world and people's hearts, but in front of Ye Junsheng, in front of such a young scholar, he was severely beaten.
Sitting on the Grand Master¡¯s chair, after listening to Mr. Wen¡¯s report, Mr. Chu suddenly became furious and threw the celadon cup in his hand to the ground, turning it into a mess:
"Damn that guy, why didn't I know he knew martial arts before?"
In the Tianhua Dynasty, there were many scholars with both civil and military skills, which was not surprising. The strange thing was that no one knew that Ye Junsheng was also very good at fighting.
Mr. Wen quickly apologized: "He has not performed well all the time. It is because his subordinates were negligent."
Chu Yunyu breathed out: "Okay, very good, come to Beijing in advance to prepare for the provincial examination. But as long as I am here, can a small scholar make a difference?"
He described it as "little", but Mr. Wen, who was kneeling below, knew: This time, the master is going to be serious. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
