Chapter 107 When to be determined
"Zhen Xiangye, what do you mean?"
The straw hut in front of the city gate was surrounded by black-armored guards, blocking the idle people, including only Chen Sheng, Song and Yuan, and others from the capital... Some words were inconvenient to talk in public.
Song Yuan was the first to ask a question in anger.
"The Queen's Mausoleum collapsed. This is a huge matter. Prime Minister, don't joke."
He called the prime minister, but he did not have much respect in his attitude, and the four officials present were the same.
Chen Sheng did not feel unhappy and said, "I am not joking. Isn't the gentleman's examination held in Huangsha Daocheng now a happy event?"
Of course, a gentleman's test is a great joy. This is in the name of Your Majesty. It was proposed by Duke Tan of Qin and was hosted by Master Wang... This Prime Minister Chen is indeed not just a stable examiner...
"This is of course a great joy!"
The four officials present suppressed Chen Sheng's words, and at the same time they were filled with a warning.
"Zheng Ye Chen, these are two things, don't get together." Song Yuan was unhappy, "The Queen's Mausoleum collapsed, this matter..."
Chen Sheng looked at him with a calm expression: "The collapse of the Queen's Mausoleum is nothing more than a happy or sad thing. Lord Song thinks the Queen's spirit in the sky?"
Song Yuan glared and said, "I don't understand your twists and turns. Now we say that these children escape..."
"Mr. Song, these people cannot escape." An official interrupted him.
"Who said..." Song Yuan turned his head angrily, and saw the official's breath dropping, "...How do you say this by Lord Qi?"
This person's surname is the same name. One of the four highest officials who came to take charge of the gentleman's examination this time on the order of the emperor. Of course, he was ordered by Duke Tan of Qin because the Song and Yuan dynasties did not understand the imperial examinations, and he came to Huangsha Road to have other purposes.
He still respects his own people, especially the old scholars and scholars, Song Yuan, and does not cause any major events to be ruined by Duke Tan of Qin.
Qi Xiu said: "Because the Queen's Mausoleum is tightly institution, it is impossible to escape." He glared at Song Yuan fiercely.
Song Yuan hesitated and said, "It's true, but this is an evil spirit, not a human..."
Chen Sheng said: "Mr. Song, it's almost done." Looking outside the shed, the people gathered and pointed and talked about the noise. The black armored guards were waiting for the weapons to be cold. The noise inside the city gate could not be isolated. The news had spread, "I still said the same thing. This matter was nothing more than a happy or sad thing, it depends on what you want." He also smiled and twisted his beard, "If Lord Song could afford it."
Song Yuan frowned: "What does it mean?"
The other four officials present knew what Chen Sheng meant. It was a great joy to hold a gentleman test on Huangsha Road, but whether it was earth or evil spirits that came out, it was not auspicious. At the least, they would be attacked by the excuse of misconduct, and at the worst, His Majesty the Emperor would issue a crime... As for who would take this responsibility, the three officials looked at Qi Xiu and Song Yuan, while Qi Xiu looked at the three officials with their eyes flashing. This was an opportunity, but once they took action, they would be a heavy burden that they could not bear. They must not be reckless and be cautious.
We must also be wary of Chen Sheng who is watching and waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman!
"Justice Chen is right, this is a great joy." "Report to the court immediately." "Please ask the Imperial Heaven to ask about the celestial phenomena." "The most urgent task is to appease the people." "The gentleman's trial cannot be delayed."
They said in unison.
Chen Sheng smiled and said, "I'm just here to be an examiner, so I won't care about these things, you can discuss them." He looked outside again, his eyes fell on the city gate, "I wrote these three words..." He smiled and shook his head, "I was ashamed, my writing skills were not good at that time."
What do you do with this? How many people follow his gaze?
"The Prime Minister is humble."
"The Xiangye's calligraphy is excellent, and the word is very well written."
Everyone praised it.
Chen Sheng said: "It's been nine years...it's almost done." He walked out with his sleeves.
What's almost done? The rest of them looked at each other.
"Since that's the case, it's the empress's appearance, the evil spirits are eliminated, and the yellow sand road is happy, adding icing on the cake." An official said.
The others smiled and nodded, saying that's exactly that.
"Then go and appease the people and place these children."
Everyone was humble and walked outward.
Song Yuan fell behind and grabbed Qi Xiu and whispered: "Master Qi, why did you agree to this old guy?"
Qi Xiu looked at him with anger, "Why did you agree? Lord Song, what did you say just now? What did you say when you grabbed the children and escaped and even the Queen's Mausoleum collapsed? Do you not know why the Queen's Mausoleum collapsed?"
Song Yuan was a little happy and said, "I just knew that so I wanted to hide the past... I have to explain it anyway..."
Qi Xiu sneered: "Cover it? Relying on the evil spirit to escape and cover it up? Don't run away sooner or later, run out at this time. Are you thinking that others are fools? Do you want everyone to investigate thoroughly?" After that, he looked out the door.
The three officials who walked out first stood at the door and muttered something, their eyes flashing at them.
Qi Xiu glared at Song Yuan again and said, "It's almost done." He walked out with his sleeves.
It's almost done! Song Yuan also shook his sleeve and followed him out.

......
"How is it? How is it?"
The thick city gate blocked the sight, but it could not block the noise outside. There were many people gathered on the street in front of the city gate, and the high-level restaurants and tea shops on the street were also crowded with people. Standing at the highest point, looking out the city gate.
News kept coming in.
“……The adults are here!”
"...It's not an evil spirit!"
"...It is said that the Queen appears, and the evil spirit has been eliminated..."
This news made the people on the street feel relieved, and the older women chanted God and Buddha.
"That's great. I thought Huangshadao was going to fall into a place of evil spirits again..."
"I just said no, there is the Queen Fenghun Town for so long, and now the gentleman tests, so many scholars and saints, all the righteous spirits of heaven and earth, and all evil spirits have to be dispersed."
"That's thanks to this grand event, the evil spirits on the children..."
After listening to the news and comments described by Pang An, Zhang Shuangtong shook her head and said pitiful.
Pang Andao: "No matter what, these children are all free. Now they are discussing how to resettle them. I guess the city gate will open in a while..."
"So fast." Zhang Shuangtong looked disappointed, "It seems that today's exam will not be postponed... Xue Qing..." He turned his head but there was no sign of Xue Qing next to him.
Pang An whispered: "I was here just now..." and followed him around to search.
A candidate from Chang'an Prefecture shouted: "Where are you?" He pointed his hand downstairs.
Zhang Shuangtong and Pang An hurriedly rushed over. They had just relied on their youth to run fast. Liu Chunyang was rich and occupied the highest floor in the restaurant. He could see outside the city. At this time, from the upstairs, looking down on the street, there were indeed three familiar teenagers in the crowd... When did they run down?
"Sanshilang." Zhang Shuangtong shouted.
His voice was loud and exploded half a street, causing everyone on the street to look up, and the young man was no exception.
She raised her head and smiled, shook the oil paper bag in her hand, stuffed another bun into her mouth, and said vaguely to the hawker, "Get another bowl of almond tea soup."
.....
.....
"How did you run down?"
Zhang Shuangtong took the tea soup handed by Guo Zi'an, saw Xue Qing's bandage hand like a steamed bun, and twitched twice.
"You are still thinking about eating at this time."
"In fact, it's more convenient to listen to the excitement on the street, and there are many people." Xue Qing said, looking at the crowd on the street, "I heard that it's okay. I'll take the exam later. I'll hurry up and have a meal."
Pang An reached out and poked Xue Qing's hand. Liu Chunyang, who was standing beside him, raised his hand and hit him: "What are you doing!"
Pang An smiled: "Is the package too thick? Is it not convenient to take a bow and arrow?"
Xue Qing raised his hands and said, "It's convenient, I can shoot arrows even with my fists."
How to shoot arrows with your fists? Pang An was both laughing and curious, standing by the roadside and joking, with a commotion ahead accompanied by shouts.
"The city gate is open."
Everyone on the street looked at it, and the city gate slowly opened, and Qiuyang jumped out of the ground at this moment. The rays of light overflowed from the slowly opened city gate, and Xue Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sure enough, the collapse of the Queen's Mausoleum was suppressed, and these children would be fine. It seemed that the big men in the court mentioned by Du were among the few officials outside who could decide this matter.
Which one is it?
