[Red Chamber] The imperial examination life of the great master

"What does Zhang Heng do every day?" The third prince sat down on the chair immediately, with his hands open, holding a girl as beautiful as a flower in each hand. It's uglier than crying.

The confidant replied: "Back to the third prince, Mr. Zhang is the same every day. He goes to court at dawn and goes back to the mansion in the evening. It is like this every day, and there is no abnormality."

The third prince frowned, Zhang Heng was not a person who would admit defeat.

It's weird how he behaves like this.

"Third Prince, my subordinates think that Mr. Zhang probably gave up, so we don't need to worry." The confidant said conceitedly.

The third prince waved his hands, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a dignified expression: "No, keep staring at him, I don't believe that he let go so easily, he represents Da'an, even if he wants to give up, then The emperor will not let him give up! What's more, they are afraid of making things big!"

"Yes, the subordinate ordered someone to keep watching Mr. Zhang." The confidant said.

The third prince nodded, his eyes flashed brightly, "Keep an eye on it, tomorrow is the last day, this king is going to test him in the morning, and after tomorrow, this matter can be held on the people of Da'an !"

"Yes!" said the confidant.

His eyes swept towards the two girls at the round table.

The two girls sat on the embroidered stool and shivered.

"Third, third prince, we didn't hear anything!" A girl shrank with fear and said.

The third prince showed a smile, "But—only the dead will not betray their secrets!"

Rongguofu.

Jia Daishan summoned Jia Amnesty, and he wrote a letter with a large pen in his hand. The pen was like a dragon and snake, and the iron ax and silver hook showed everyone's demeanor.

"Come on, sit down." Jia Daishan put his pen on the pen stand, and nodded to Jia Amnesty.

He walked to the top and sat down, while Jia Amnesty sat down.

After a while, a servant brought tea.

Jia Daishan was not in a hurry to drink tea, but held it in the palm of his hand, and asked, "What kind of regulations is Mr. Zhang? You know it well."

Jia Amnesty said: "My son is clear, but he has already promised Mr. Zhang, so he can't say anything."

"Oh?" Jia Dai Shanben didn't intend to inquire about Zhang Heng's affairs, he just wanted to know something in his heart, but when he heard Jia She's answer, he couldn't help raising his brows, and said suspiciously: "You are quite familiar with Mr. Zhang. "

"It's not familiar, it's just a matter of conversation." Jia She said.

Jia Daishan smiled.

This is easier said than done.

Being able to talk to Zhang Heng, it seems that this boss is really extraordinary.

"It's good that you can talk, Mr. Zhang is very capable, and learning from him will do you no harm." Jia Daishan stroked his beard and said meaningfully.

What he was talking about was the art of check and balance in the officialdom.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

When he was with Zhang Heng, he spent more time drinking tea and less time talking about things, let alone learning anything from him.

"Yes, my son knows." Jia Amnesty responded, but it only went in from one ear and out from the other.

Jia Daishan didn't pay attention to his expression.

He drank his tea, thinking about what trick Zhang Heng was hiding.

He believed in Zhang Heng, just as Emperor Jianming believed in Zhang Heng.

the next morning.

The atmosphere ahead this morning was vaguely weird.

Before going forward, everyone was whispering and whispering. It seems that it is already the fifth day. Why didn't Mr. Zhang reveal any news?Are you going to lose?

"If you ask me, Master Zhang would not dare to agree to the barbarian's request so recklessly! Today is the fifth day, and there is no news at all, so we will definitely lose! When the time comes, the barbarian will put the eldest prince's death on us, and when the time comes Sending troops to the south, wouldn't it mean that the people will suffer again!" The person who said this was from the Seventh Prince's faction, and his tone sounded like he was worried about the people of the world, but the gloating and sarcasm inside and outside the words were beyond words.

"That's not right! I heard that the third prince will come to court later! I'm afraid it will be a rough day today." An adult with a pale beard coughed and said.

"Shut up, the two good masters are here." Someone reminded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of wind on his sleeves coming from far and near.

The two protagonists in the topic——Zhang Heng and the third prince, happened to come at the same time.

The third prince looked Zhang Heng up and down with his eyes, "Master Zhang, clear it up."

"Don't dare, the third prince invites you." Zhang Heng smiled, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Farewell, Mr. Zhang, you have worked so hard to find the real culprit for my eldest brother these days, it is only right that you invite him first." The third prince laughed so hard that it made people feel chills in their hearts.

Zhang Heng smiled, "Third Prince, you are welcome, you are a guest from afar, please clear up."

The third prince opened his mouth to mock Zhang Heng.

Before he could say anything, he heard a hoarse chuckle, "You two, don't give in, I'm old, let's go first."

As Jia Daishan said, he walked nonchalantly between the two of them.

"Master Zhang, what are you waiting for here? The morning court is about to begin."

"Yes." Zhang Heng said with a smile.

The third prince sneered, he would like to see how Zhang Heng can explain it later!

If they don't ask Daan to lose face severely today, how can they relieve their anger!

There was a crack of a whip.

With Feng Dao's sharp voice.

It started early.

Before Feng Dao shouted: "If you have something to play, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."

The third prince came out of the row and saluted arrogantly.

Emperor Jianming frowned, and asked with displeasure: "What's the matter with the third prince?"

"Your Majesty! Today is already the fifth day. I would like to ask how the investigation of Mr. Zhang's case is going?" The third prince said while looking at Zhang Heng provocatively.

Others couldn't help but look at Zhang Heng.

The third prince is full of arrogance, because he is a barbarian behind his back, and he is the most favored. If he does not give him an explanation, Zhang Heng will definitely be humiliated today.

Emperor Jianming looked at Zhang Heng, "Zhang Qing, this case is up to you, have you found out the clues?"

"Not yet." Zhang Heng said plainly.

"What's not yet? I think Mr. Zhang doesn't take us seriously at all. I haven't seen Mr. Zhang go to the courtyard to investigate the case a few times these days!" The third prince said in an angry tone.

Zhang Heng tilted his head, and looked at the third prince with a strange look, "I thought the third prince was only interested in having fun, but I didn't expect the third prince to care so much about my handling of the case."

Someone gave a low laugh.

It's ridiculous that the third prince slipped his tongue out of the way and didn't forgive others!

At this time, the third prince thought that Zhang Heng had already lost, and instead of being ashamed of it, he was proud of it, "Master Zhang is handling my elder brother's case, how can I keep people from watching me! It's just Mr. Zhang, you You say you deserve it, but when you look back, you don't take this case to heart, how can you live up to His Majesty's high hopes? How can you live up to this king?"

These three princes are really not stupid, and they know that Emperor Jianming should come out as a cover.

Although Emperor Jianming knew what the three princes were thinking, he was also slightly displeased.

"Zhang Qing, today is the fifth day!"

"I know that it's not that I don't take this case seriously these days. I already know how to find out the real culprit." Zhang Heng bowed his hands to Emperor Jianming and saluted.

The third prince was stunned for a moment, he knew how to find out the real culprit?This is impossible!

He knew Zhang Heng's whereabouts these days like the back of his hand, so it was impossible for him to know how to find the murderer!
