One hundred thousand taels of gold are too expensive, so expensive that Zhang Bairen wonders if he can't help but cut off his head and receive the reward.

With 100,000 taels of gold, I will basically have no worries about food and drink for several lifetimes. Not only do I have no worries about food and drink, but I also have no worries about food and drink all day long.

"This price is too high, my head is definitely not worth 100,000 taels of gold." Zhang Bairen shook his head.

"Mr. I am so young, but I have made such a big deal. In my opinion, your head is not just one hundred thousand taels of gold, and it is not an exaggeration to me." Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen with a smile.

This time, Zhang Bairen was really anxious: "Empress, you want to help me."

One hundred thousand taels of gold is definitely not a joke. There are too many people who want one hundred thousand taels of gold. From the perspective of the gods to the peddlers and pawns, as long as they have the chance, everyone will carry Zhang Bairen's head to reward him.

"I want to help you, but now I don't know how to help you." Empress Xiao looked at Zhang Bairen with her eyes, her eyes full of helplessness: "If you walk in the future, you will go to places with a lot of people. Most people will never dare to touch you without the courage. After all, you are also a member of the court, representing the face of the court."

After hearing Queen Xiao's words, Zhang Bairen ran past with ten thousand four-legged sheep in his heart and sat there in a depressed manner. Qiaoyan walked in with a bowl of bird's nest outside the door, blinked at Zhang Bairen, and then turned around and left.

"Come on, try the newly prepared bird's nest in the palace." Empress Xiao brought the bird's nest to Zhang Bairen. Zhang Bairen held the bird's nest and ate it in her mouth like chewing wax. Although it tasted so many, she had no intention of tasting it.

Queen Xiao shook her head: "Don't worry, with your ability, who can take your head?"

Zhang Bairen blinked, no one could say anything big, but this matter was related to his own life, so how could he not be worried?

Looking at Zhang Bairen, Empress Xiao blinked: "Don't worry, I have already told Your Majesty that after the imperial examination is over, I will let you go to seclusion and practice. It is not too late to come out again when you feel confident in saving your life. As for the imperial examination period, it is still very safe to go to the capital city now on strict vigilance. No one dares to make trouble at this time without opening his eyes."

"It's also a note." Zhang Bairen has now entered the hall with the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. After understanding the Zhu Xian Sword Picture, he has truly begun to master the mystery of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.

"Now the first time the imperial examination was held, the Confucian scholars have discussed the procedures. You are the chief examiner of this imperial examination and are responsible for the first invigilance." Empress Xiao took out an edict in her hand.

Zhang Bairen was stunned: "The imperial examination is very important. What kind of virtue can I be in charge of the scientific examination?"

"The ministers in the court are determined to go back tests, and there are countless fish and dragons mixed together. Most of them are inseparable from the aristocratic families. Your Majesty is worried about handing over the scientific examination. If aristocratic families are asked to control the imperial examination, what is the meaning of the scientific examination?" Empress Xiao sighed softly: "If you invigilate the examination with the other three great scholars, and if you suppress the reliable people, someone will make trouble in secret. If you kill decisively, everyone in the world can see it. There is no one more suitable for the scientific examination than you."

Zhang Bairen remembered Zhang's mother's words. Zhang's mother actually hoped that she could win the top scorer of civil and military affairs. Now that she failed to pass the top scorer of civil and military affairs, she became the top scorer of the top scorer. She didn't know what Zhang's mother would think after she knew it. This is the case in the world.

After receiving the edict and taking a look, Zhang Bairen said: "There is no loophole in the imperial examination regulations, I am afraid that the aristocratic families will be doing things secretly."

"It's okay, the Military Affairs Secretariat has been dispatched, and all the scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam must have a clear look at the bodies of all the scholars who entered the capital to take the exam, and there are no omissions," said Queen Xiao.

"That's good. The officials will prepare for the imperial examinations now." Zhang Bairen and Empress Xiao bowed, stood up and turned around and left.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, a gust of fragrant wind blew. Qiaoyan was wearing a tulle and stood behind the pillar, waving her hand to Zhang Bairen.

Zhang Bairen smiled and walked over. Qiaoyan took out a palm-sized wine jar from behind, and stuffed it into Zhang Bairen's arms when he saw that he was unprepared and said: "This is an old flower carving for 800 years. I heard that you like to drink. Last time when His Majesty was having a banquet, I secretly hid a jar."

When Zhang Bairen heard this, his hair stood up. This girl was too brave. The 800-year-old presbyterian devil was probably more expensive than gold. If she was caught, she would lose her head.

It seemed that Zhang Bairen was worried, Qiaoyan said: "The papermaking technique was successful a few days ago, and the fortune of the Sui Dynasty soared. His Majesty was happy to come to Yong'an Palace and ended with the Empress after getting drunk. They were all drunk, and I didn't know if I hid a jar."

Touching the wine jar on his chest, Zhang Bairen's eyes turned into crescent moons: "How many old-fashioned carvings in the palace are still there?"

Qiaoyan shook her head: "This is the last jar. His Majesty Suri is reluctant to drink it. It was this time that she was extremely happy and took it out to celebrate."

Looking at Qiaoyan with sweat falling on her face, Zhang Bairen touched her sleeve. A blue bead, about the size of a cow's eyes: "I'll give you this bead. As long as you wear this bead, it will be warm in winter, cool in summer, cold in summer, and cold in summer. Although it cannot last forever, it can beautify the face and delay aging."

"This... this is too expensive, I can't take it." Looking at the beads in Zhang Bairen's hand, Qiaoyan shook her head repeatedly.

"What a slave, you will be my sister in the future, my own sister. I will find an opportunity to redeem you from the palace in the future and save you from being the bird in the cage." Zhang Bairen stuffed the beads into Qiaoyan's hand.

Qiao Yan couldn't refuse, holding the beads and smiling, Zhang Bairen muttered, "I don't know if there is a thousand-year-old wine in the palace."

"Young Master, but I'm spared. The Empress treats me well. How can I leave the Empress? My relatives in my family have long been separated. The only relative is the Empress." Qiao Yan looked at Zhang Bairen with her eyes: "It is said that there is really a thousand-year-old wine in the palace, but don't think about it, even His Majesty can't bear to drink it."

Zhang Bairen's eyes lit up when he heard this and patted Qiaoyan on the shoulder: "I'll leave first, there are still some things to deal with."

After saying that, Zhang Bairen turned around and left. Qiaoyan stood at the pillar holding the beads, and tears slowly slid down in her eyes.

"Oh!" A sigh sounded, and Queen Xiao appeared behind Qiao Yan.

"Empress" Qiaoyan hurriedly lowered her head and bowed.

"I think of your brother again." Queen Xiao's eyes were filled with emotion.

"My younger brother died because of me, and I am not at ease," said Qiaoyan.

"Oh, the past has passed. What do you think of her?" Queen Xiao touched Qiaoyan's head.

Walking out of the palace and standing outside the gate, looking at the princes and ministers passing by, and passing merchants, Zhang Bairen was shocked, feeling that everyone was looking at him, as if everyone was aiming at his neck.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold, these aristocratic families are too cruel. Even Yu Juluo's head may not be worth ten thousand taels of gold." After saying that, Zhang Bairen got into the carriage and said to the Xiao brothers who were standing in front of the carriage: "Go back to the mansion."

"South of the city or Zhang's mansion?" said Xiaohu.

"Of course it's Zhang's Mansion. The Royal Manor in the south of the city is not in the city. I always feel uneasy." Zhang Bairen shook his head.

As he was talking, suddenly there was a burst of people outside, and the cries suddenly rose up, and countless people fled. Zhang Bairen was shocked and suddenly jumped up and rushed out of the carriage.

"grown ups!"

The Xiao brothers roared shrillly, and with a "bang", the carriage instantly turned into gray, the high temperature melted the rocks, and a big pit ten meters deep appeared on the ground. A black stone like charcoal fire flashed in the pit, emitting blue smoke.

"Sir!" The Xiao brothers stood outside the pit and cried.

"Wolf crying, howling, what are you two guys, you guys, who can escape, how could I be killed?" Zhang Bairen walked out of the crowd with lingering fear. If he hadn't shrunk and made great progress, he would have been afraid that he would not have survived this time.

"Sir, aren't you dead? It's great if you're fine." The Xiao brothers were so happy that they burst into tears. If Zhang Bairen was killed by a meteorite falling from the sky, the Xiao brothers would definitely be in trouble. With Yu Juluo's temper, they might have to be buried with them.

"This meteorite is a good thing. I'll find someone to salvage it out and forge weapons." Zhang Bairen disappeared into the crowd: "But this meteorite came too coincidental. I just left the palace and happened to be smashed by the meteorite. This is too exaggerated."

In the distance, several men in straw raincoats looked at Zhang Bairen who disappeared in the crowd. Look at me and I look at you, and said with an ugly expression: "Isn't this dead?"
