Daming King of Punishment

Page 581

"Kill them!" The chief yamen servant put his hand on his neck, made a gesture of wiping his neck, and stared fiercely at Song Wuya and the others.

Such a result, no one thought of it.The yamen servants who clamored to arrest Song Wuya just now were even more dumbfounded at this moment, they couldn't believe the final result would be like this.

After all, the people standing in front of them were not ordinary people, but two fourth-rank court officials.They are obviously very clear about the consequences of doing so, but at this moment, under the instigation of the chief yamen servant, they probably already have such thoughts in their hearts.If Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo didn't let them go, they would die anyway, so why not give it a go?

"Don't be fooled by this guy!" Bai Zhuo panicked, he didn't want to be attacked by these yamen servants, at that time there was really no way out. "There is absolutely no law in my court as he said. You have to think about it clearly. If you kill the imperial court envoys, and we still have the gold medal from the emperor, don't say you killed us, even if you hurt us, you will be implicated. After all, you didn’t know our identities just now, as the saying goes, those who don’t know are innocent. If you really listen to this person’s nonsense, the consequences will be disastrous, please think about your own family.”

"He's delaying time, everyone, don't be afraid. As long as we kill them now, who will know everything here?" Seeing that Bai Zhuo also tried to persuade these officials, the head of the government office immediately interrupted Bai Zhuo. Zhuo, roaring loudly.

The two were at a stalemate, and the servants looked around and listened to what the two of them had to say.Obviously, after the confrontation between Bai Zhuo and the leader of the yamen servants, these yamen servants are now completely dumbfounded.They didn't know who to listen to. Although they spent a lot of time with the chief yamen servant on weekdays, the situation in front of them was different from usual, so they had to think carefully.

"Boss, we listen to you!" At this moment, someone in the yamen suddenly shouted.

As soon as these words came out, several people immediately followed suit.In just a blink of an eye, half of the yamen servants present believed what the yamen servant leader said.

Seeing such a result, Bai Zhuo's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Brother Wu Ya, what should we do now? Why didn't those imperial guards show up?" Bai Zhuo asked anxiously, only now did he understand.What Bai Zhuo said just now was probably not to persuade these yamen servants, but to delay time.

After all, these yamen servants have been with the leader of the yamen servant for a longer time, so no matter how they look at it, they will trust the leader of the yamen servant.

At this moment, Song Wuya frowned, he didn't say anything after Bai Zhuo opened his mouth, but looked at the positions of the yamen servants around him, and prepared to do something for a while, so he could be prepared.

The situation in front of them is quite unfavorable to them, not only because the opponent has an advantage in numbers, but also because there are three people behind him.Bai Zhuo was more or less able to make a move, but Situ Wen and Xiaohuan, facing these murderers with weapons, had no ability to resist at all.

Before making a move, Xiaohuan was already leaning tightly on Situ Wen's body in fear.

"Brothers who don't want to do anything, you just watch from the side and block the courtyard door." Seeing that not everyone responded to him, the chief of the yamen servants did not force him anymore, but let these yamen servants block the door. "Others, follow me!"

The words of the head of the yamen servant had an effect after all.Those yamen servants who did not decide to do anything, Li Ke leaned towards the courtyard gate, trying to block the courtyard gate.

The other yamen servants watched these people walk by, waiting for the opportunity to act immediately.

The footsteps of those yamen servants were not heavy, but every time they landed, Song Wuya and the others felt tense in their hearts.

"kill!"

A sudden roar gave the final order.But the leader of the yamen, who was clearly the commander, was dumbfounded at this moment.

He looked back in surprise, because he didn't say anything at all.The moment he turned his head, the yamen servants who were about to block the door of the hospital fell to the ground one after another.Before everyone figured out what was going on, they saw the guards from the brigade rushing in.

At the same time as the imperial guard entered, arrows flew in from the east courtyard wall.Those yamen servants who were planning to attack Song Wuya, before they could react at this moment, were shot to the ground one by one.

"Brother Wu Ya, rescuers are here." Bai Zhuo shouted excitedly.

With lightning and flint kung fu, the servants who were originally planning to attack Song Wuya and the others fell into a pool of blood one by one in an instant.

Situ Wen and Xiaohuan didn't dare to look at such a tragic scene, they closed their eyes one after another, and Xiaohuan screamed out in shock.

The corpses fell to the ground one after another in front of him. The head of the yamen servant looked at this scene with horror written all over his face.Just now he had made up his mind to deal ruthless blows to Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, but now there is no turning point.

"Don't let him commit suicide!" Song Wuya suddenly roared.

The head of the yamen servant obviously knew that the general situation was over, he was powerless in this situation, and the only thing left for him was death.Rather than falling into Song Wuya's hands, it's better to end it on your own.

As soon as Song Wuya finished speaking, an arrow shot towards him like a shooting star, and hit the steel knife raised by the chief yamen servant with a crisp clang.

Huge force hit it, although the steel knife did not come out, it was also missed.

"Put down your weapon!" A guard had already flown to him, with a knife placed in front of him.

But the leader of the yamen servant, who was determined to seek death, was not afraid of this at all, he held the steel knife tightly in his hand, and took advantage of the situation to raise it.

The imperial guard obviously expected that he would not be subdued so easily, so he raised his kick and kicked him in the chest.The head of the yamen servant flew out, and before he could get up again, his arm holding the steel knife was trampled under his foot.

The whole battle didn't take long at all, more than a dozen government servants were killed, and there were only three or four people left.

"The subordinate came late, which surprised the two adults!" The head of the guards bowed to Song Wuya and the two of them.

Song Wuya nodded, indicating that they were fine, but Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were frightened by losing a little weight.

"You guys are so brave, you dare to assassinate the imperial envoy." Seeing that Song Wuya didn't say anything, the head of the imperial guards turned to face the arrested yamen servants, and yelled, "Take them all away to prevent them from committing suicide. Waiting for the two adults to leave."

The remaining yamen servants were ashen-faced at the moment, and the companions who were with them just now fell into a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.Such a huge impact was too huge for them.

As for the culprit, the head of the yamen servant, apart from remorse, there was also anger on his face at this moment.

Chapter 6 and Five

Chapter 6 and Five

“今天的事情，完全是我一人所为，和我的这些兄弟没什么关系。还望你们善待他们。”衙役头子知道自己难逃一死，但他见和他一同被抓的衙役还有四五人，脸上的神情更加的懊悔了。不过是一线之差，竟然让他搞成了这个模样。他突然想到，如果今天他不是带着衙役来此的话，或许也不会是这样的结果了。“你说的倒是轻巧，你以为他们就能逃得了吗？不管谁是主谋，这等重罪之下，是没有主从之分的！”禁卫头领冷冷的回绝的他的话。听到此话，衙役头子愧不敢当，连看都不敢再看那几名衙役一眼了。那几名衙役此刻也已经从刚刚的惊骇之中清醒过来了，眼前倒下的尸体，全都是他们往日的同伴。就在半个时辰之前，他们还都在一起有说有笑的，可不过是转瞬间的功夫，他们就已经阴阳两隔了。“头儿，你把兄弟们可都给害死了！”几名衙役哭着说道，他们完全是因为受到了衙役头子的蛊惑，这才有了这样的结局。可非要将这事情全都怪哉衙役头子身上的话，他们未免也太会推卸责任了。如果刚才他们的意志能够坚定一下，坚决不向宋无涯动手的话，他们还会有这样的结果吗？“宋大人，这些人您要现在审问一番呢？还是立刻就地处死？”禁卫头领也懒得去理会这些死到临头的家伙，转身看向宋无涯，恭敬的问道。此刻，宋无涯还不想杀了这衙役头子。毕竟这家伙还有另外一个身份呢，当初可是他嫁祸给举子，将那些举子抓紧去的。所以说，宋无涯还要将此人的性命暂且留下。“先将他们关押起来吧，我还有话要询问这家伙呢。”宋无涯点点头吩咐了一句。可他这话刚刚开口，衙役头子立刻冷哼一声道：“哼！别想着从我嘴里问出什么来，除非你把我这些兄弟们给放了。”一听到自己多少还有些价值，衙役头子立刻收起脸上原本阴冷的神情，露出了一些得意。“谈条件！”不等宋无涯开口，禁卫头领冷冷笑道：“你也妄想和我们谈条件！我倒是要看你的嘴巴有多严密，我们兄弟最拿手的本事就是让那些不肯说实话的人开口。”“好！那你就试试看。”衙役头子和禁卫头领算是杠上了，禁卫头领那边刚一说，这家伙就挑衅了一句。禁卫头领毫不犹豫，抽出佩刀，顺势就向身旁一名衙役砍去。这一刀的速度实在是太快了，那名衙役被禁卫扭着双臂，还没等他反应过来，一条胳膊就被一刀劈了下来。鲜血喷溅，断臂直接被扔在了地上，一声痛苦的惨嚎如杀猪一般，从那衙役的口中喊了出来。“你这些兄弟，会让你开口的。”禁卫头领冷笑一声，拭去了刀身上的血迹，大手一挥：“给我押回去。”在场除那些禁卫之外，无不打了个寒颤。即便是宋无涯和白卓两人，那都被这禁卫头领给吓了一跳。他实在是太狠厉了，说动手就动手，丝毫不带犹豫。那衙役还在痛苦的喊着，手臂被齐肩斩断，整齐的伤口还在不断地流着鲜血。“你太狠毒了！”衙役头子看着都是心惊肉跳不已，愤恨的说着。可见，原本是恶人的他，现在完全成了待宰的羔羊，不仅没有丝毫的反抗能力，而且还无法忍受对方如此残忍的手段。“先让你这兄弟流点血，什么时候流干了血死了也就算了。若是死不了，再断他一条胳膊。”禁卫头领冷笑着说道。显然，他刚才的话并不是开玩笑，看样子他们确实很擅长人不老实的人开口。衙役头子的脸色已经难看到了几点，苍白的没有丝毫血色。禁卫头领这狠厉的一招，算是让他领教了厉害。他心里应该很清楚，如果他不开口的话，跟他受了死罪的这些衙役，怕是要被活活折磨死。其他的衙役看着自己的同伴遭此厄运，一个个吓得大气都不敢出一下。“直接前往省府衙门吧！另外，将此事通知晋王，看看晋王是否有兴趣看看这场热闹。”原本还不知道什么时候才能将此事摊牌的宋无涯，没行到今天居然发生了这样的事情。虽然他们也算是险象环生，可好在大难不死，果然是必有后福。这样一来可算是省去了他们不少的时间啊。不过，对于这件事情他并没有报太大的希望，毕竟这衙役头子知道多少，未必会全都吐出来。但是关于之前举子的事情，怕是就有说法了。顺便，如今他们的身份已经曝光，倒是可以调查一下八年前的那桩案子了。“对了，找人将旁边院子的房东找来。”宋无涯走出了巷子，想起了这件事情，立刻提醒了一句。很快，一群人来到了省府衙门前。这一路上走来，自然是引来了不少人的侧目。这些百姓看着这些威武不凡的禁卫，一个个都睁大了好奇的眼睛。更何况当他们看到了他们押着的和抬着的全都是衙役之后，立刻知道这一定是出了大事情。“这是出了什么事情？”当省府大人看到眼前一幕之后，也是吓了一跳，惊恐的向禁卫们问道。禁卫头领看着他，冷冷说道：“省府大人，如今你只是暂代省府一职。没想到竟然还敢做出这等天大的事情。本将军乃是正三品禁卫将军，今日你纵使手下公然行刺钦差大人该当死罪，还不速速领罪！”禁卫头领一开口便公布了自己的身份，而且他并非是向这省府大人说明事因，而是向他直接问罪。省府大人被吓得浑身一个哆嗦，跪在地上，立刻哭喊道：“大人饶命啊！此时罪臣不知啊！罪臣并未指使他们去刺杀钦差大人。而且，罪臣根本不知道有钦差大臣来到了省城啊！”这话倒是说得不假，他应该是确确实实不知道的。宋无涯和白卓两人上前，几名禁卫已经找来了椅子，放在了两人的身后。两人坐下之后，身份一切明了。那省府大人抬头看向两人，面露诧异之色，这心里也不知道在作何想法。“省府大人，你说你不知道本官和白大人来到省城，这点本官倒是相信。不过，你的这些手下，出去拿人，你可知道？”宋无涯并未直接发威，而是向那省府大人询问。他这问话刚刚出口，省府大人还未来得及开口，就听到那衙役头子抢先说道：“省府大人他并不知晓，是我一个人所为。”他倒是好，抢在省府大人前边开口，到算是给了这省府大人一个明确的回答。省府大人立刻接着点头，顺坡下驴：“没错，大人，下官实在是不知道他们去干什么了。”“啊！”话音刚落，一声惨叫响起，所有的目光瞬间向着那叫喊出声的人看去。此人不是别人，正是刚刚被断了一臂的那名衙役。此刻他伤口处的血流淌了一路，伤口原本的血迹已经凝固成了血痂。现在倒好，被他身旁的禁卫狠狠来了一拳，顿时鲜血如注，投过了衣服滴滴答答的落在了地上。宋无涯听着一阵阵倒抽凉气的声音传来，知道这是禁卫头领再给那衙役头子一点颜色。果不其然，衙役头子的脸色再次难看起来。可见此人也是有感情的，看到和他朝夕相处的兄弟，受到这等折磨，心里怎么会好受呢？“那好，既然你不知道。那你这个省府大人可谓是失职的厉害啊！衙役在没有公务之下，不受到上官指派，是不得随意行动的。这一点想必省府大人应该知晓吧？”禁卫头领冷冷的问道。对于律法而言，显然他们知晓的更多一些。正如禁卫头领所言，这一点他是没办法辩驳的。不管对方所作的这件事情，对他而言是否知道，可他终究还是脱不开干系的。省府大人面色苍白，无法回答这个问题。禁卫头领没有给他太多的时间去考虑该如何回答，立刻又道：“这些衙役，莫要说是出去刺杀钦差大臣了，就是去杀平民百姓，那也是罪不可恕的罪责。从这一点足以看出，这些衙役之所以敢做出这样的事情来，怕是以往没少这么做过。如果不是你这位省府大人的纵容，他们怎么可能会有这样的胆量？”禁卫头领也很清楚，宋无涯来这里的目的，并非是眼前的这些衙役，主要的目标，还是这位省府大人。被连番的逼问，省府大人却根本不敢开口回答。这样的问题，处处都让他无法回答，不管他怎么说，这都是不可能更改的事实。沉默之下，禁卫头领又道：“怎么？省府大人没什么话好说了？既然你没什么话还说的话，不妨听听钦差大人是如何说的吧。”眼看着省府大人被他逼问的已经无话可说了，这禁卫头领很是时机的将话语权转交给了宋无涯这里。

Chapter 6 and Six

Chapter 6 and Six

“省府大人，看来你的公务很是繁忙啊！不知道你可知晓近日来举子之间所发生的事情吗？”宋无涯开始直奔主题，不过他并非是单刀直入，而是徐徐渐进，向那省府大人询问了起来。省府大人此刻额头冷汗已经渗出，原本他已经准备好了，宋无涯对他狂风暴雨一般的质问，可没想到宋无涯一开口竟然问这样的问题来。“这个……”省府大人显然是知道宋无涯不会只是问这样简单的问题的，而且他也很清楚这件事情，心里怕是已经做好了准备。“这个下官知道。”这件事情在省城内已经闹得是沸沸扬扬的了，他这个省府大人不可能是不知道的。“那你可知道，先前被抓的那20多个举子是给定的什么罪名吗？”宋无涯听到了回答，接着问道。省府大人抬手擦了擦额头上的冷汗，眨了几下眼睛这才说道：“他们乃是无量教的叛党。”“看来这是省府大人你给定的罪名了。”宋无涯冷笑一声：“那你可有什么证据吗？”“这个有人举报。”省府大人立刻回答。这事情宋无涯早已经知晓了，他也很清楚既然给这些举子定了罪名，那绝对不会随便的更改。他现在之所以要说这些，目的就是要给这些举子证身。“好，那举报者呢？”宋无涯没有立刻反驳。“被杀了。”省府大人脸上的神情已经变得古怪不已了，毕竟宋无涯循序渐进的询问这些无关痛痒的问题，他虽然各个都能够回答上来，可是这样不断地被追问，让他这心里都有些快要熬不住了。“为何被杀？是什么人所为？”宋无涯的问题接着就来了，而且还是一次两个。省府大人微蹙着眉头，宋无涯的不断追问，让他很是煎熬。“从现场留下的证据来看，应当是被无量教灭口，只因为他透露了无量教的事情，所以被报复杀害。”原本能够出现这样的事情，那自然是他早已经想好了的。可是宋无涯同样有质疑的话给他，他立刻便开始质疑省府所说的这件事情。“什么证据能够证明这一切呢？”“凶手在房间内的墙壁上留下了四个字，祸从口出。”省府大人继续说道。宋无涯早已经知晓他会这样说的了，他微微一笑，摇头道：“光凭借这一条，怕是不能够做出定论吧？”“可是，除此之外，那还能有什么啊？”宋无涯的执意让省府大人不知道该如何回答了，他诧异的看着宋无涯。用这样的线索来定论一件案子，实在是太过于草率了。“这么说来，所有的凶手杀了人之后，在墙壁上留下这样明显的线索，即便是他有意嫁祸给别人，那被嫁祸的那个人也只能背上这条罪名了？”宋无涯冷冷的向省府大人发出质问。他的话音刚刚落下，外边围观的百姓，立刻发出了一阵阵的叫好声。“钦差大人说得没错，这也太草率了。”“这里边一定是有鬼的！”百姓质疑的声音在耳边不觉回响，这样显而易见的道理，想必即便是在愚昧无知的人也应该明白吧。省府大人汗颜，被宋无涯不断质问就已经够让他受的了，现在倒好又加上了这么多的百姓。“省府大人，你这样的定论未免也太草率了吧？或者说，这是你想要得到的结果，所以才会这样判定？”宋无涯知道此刻省府大人内心非常的紧张，他毫不犹豫的在这个时候再次逼迫他，让他内心变得更加的焦灼。果然，在宋无涯这句话之下，省府大人的脸颊都已经开始抽搐起来了。“既然省府大人不说，那就是默认了。那么本官在此说明，此案必定严查凶手，不管是不是无量教所为，一定要查到真正的凶手。不能因为无量教为叛党，便将一切的罪过全都推到他们的身上去。”宋无涯的这番话在此换来了满堂的喝彩声。省府大人没有说什么，他也说不出什么来，即便心里有什么想法，这个时候他也不敢说出来。这件事情就暂且如此了，宋无涯没办法现在就找出结论。他抬头又看向那衙役头子，皱眉问道：“你们在抓捕那二十名举子之前，是否已经找到了足够的证据证明他们就是无量教的叛党？”“这……”衙役头子一愣，显然没有料到宋无涯突然向他询问，他眉头一蹙，下意识的就看向了省府大人。这个问题原本问的就有些多余，毕竟这件事情之前就已经说过了。“既然你犹豫，那就说明之前没有认定他们就是无量教的叛党了？既然没有足够的证据证明他们是无量教的叛党，那你们为何又要巧立名目将他们抓获呢？”宋无涯冷声问道。衙役头子收回了看向省府大人的目光，低着头说道：“这也全都是我们所为，目的也很简单，只是想要从他们的身上捞点钱财。”好一个避重就轻，衙役头子自以为这样说，可以将罪名全都揽在他的身上。可他这样回答，恰恰把问题说的更加严重了。“捞点钱财！”宋无涯重复着衙役头子的话，发出了一声冷笑。“这么说来，你们诬陷那些举子偷钱，目的就是为了捞点钱财？”“没有诬陷，他们确实是偷了别人的钱财。”突然间，这衙役头子没说什么，在他一旁的衙役倒是大声的喊了起来。可这话说得更加愚蠢：“你以为这满城之中，所有的客栈之内，没有人看到你们当时的模样吗？至少，你们的这位头子心里就很清楚。他诬陷举子的时候，本官就在他的身旁。”衙役头子低下了头，这一点他没办法不承认的。他之所以前宋无涯的院子，要对宋无涯下黑手，原因就是他已经察觉到，宋无涯不断地靠近这件案子，应该是有什么目的的。而且他在这之前看到宋无涯的时候，就感觉宋无涯非常的面熟。一时间，刚才说话的衙役闭上了嘴巴，低下了头。之所以留着衙役头子，目的就是为了这件事情。“刚刚你说这件事情都是你们所为，那省府大人可从未和晋王提起过这件事情。即便你们真的是在他不知情的情况下，可在这之后，省府大人并未说过这种事情。显然他是包庇你们，要不然的话这件事情他必然是参与者。”“不是不是，下官先前并不知晓这件事情的。”省府大人怎么可能会承认这件事情。他如果承认了的话，只会惹来更大的麻烦。事到如今，这衙役头子不肯咬出省府大人来，倒也让宋无涯他们很是为难。毕竟他们要办的人还是这位省府大人。“好，这么说来的话。那些被抓的举子，全都没有任何的罪名，是被诬陷进入监牢的。不仅如此，官府在举子们的威压之下，不得已施放了这些被抓的举子。可是被释放的举子，他们一个个却受到了非人的折磨。这件事情省府大人该作何解释啊？这件事情你依旧不知情吗？”宋无涯早已经有了这样的预料，他没有生气，依旧冷静的看着省府大人。省府大人毫不犹豫的立刻点头：“没错，下官并不知道此件事情。”“好，既然这样。那本官可以做定论了。”宋无涯点了点头淡然的说道。省府大人一听这话，顿时高兴起来：“钦差大人，下官无能，纵容手下做出了这等伤天害理的事情，实在是失职啊，还请钦差大人严惩下官。”他倒是看得开，毕竟宋无涯这么说，如果就这样给他定罪的话，显然这件事情就算是了结了。而且按照律法，他根本不会受到什么严重的惩罚，最多就是降职罚俸而已。当然，宋无涯不会就这样轻易的放过他。“依本官看来，省府衙门内衙役，可以私自瞒过上官为所欲为。以他们的所作所为，不得不说他们的权利在省城内已经可以通天了。而你这位省府大人乃是此地的父母官，本应该为官一任造福一方，可你却没有丝毫的作为。不仅没有作为，竟然连手下所作的一切都不知晓。你可实在是有负皇恩啊！晋王殿下已经革去了你的官职，可你的罪孽实在是太过深重，这等惩处只怕难以服众。不过，眼下科举在即，本官暂且不作处罚，待科举结束之后，再做定论。”宋无涯将省府大人的罪责可是说的清清楚楚了，而且他也很是明确的告诉了这位省府大人，他不会轻饶他的。可是现在宋无涯却并未把他怎么样，而是就这样暂且放过了他。全场哗然，显然所有人都没有预料到，将省府大人的罪证举列出来的宋无涯，竟然没有当堂给他定罪判刑。在百姓不可置信的议论声中，那省府大人顿时释然，长长的舒了口气，可见压在他心头的巨石算是落下来了。虽然只是暂时的，可怎么说也给了他缓解的余地。

Chapter 6 and Seven Examiner

Chapter 6 and Seven Examiner

“无涯兄，你这是为什么？明知道他是个这样的货色，竟然还要让再去祸害那些举子。”白卓很是不明白宋无涯为什么今天会放过那省府大人。离开了公堂之后，宋无涯几人也不知道该去什么地方了。之前所住过的那个院子，此刻满地都是鲜血，让他们再住进去，想想都觉得瘆的慌。公堂关闭之后，城里的百姓算是沸腾了。今日宋无涯和白卓的身份算是彻底的暴露了。虽然这并不算什么，可是宋无涯却担心起了另外一件事情来。之前他还让那位唐少爷留下了诗句，可是这诗句随着他们两人身份的曝光，怕是也藏不住了。现在宋无涯心里想着，希望并没有太多的人看到他们的面容，而且也没有认识他们的人在这些人群之中。宋无涯扭头看向白卓，微微一笑，回答了他的疑惑：“这叫做放长线钓大鱼你知不知道？这省府大人不管是不是一条大鱼，可他终究只是这池塘里的一条鱼而已。若是直接抓了他，那还不把其他的鱼给吓跑了？”一听这话，白卓算是明白了。和白卓相比较，司徒雯和小环两人现在可不关心这件事情。“无涯，咱们现在怎么办？再去客栈落脚吗？”司徒雯微蹙着眉头，可见她心里一定是又想到了那血腥的一幕。这才是眼下最关键的事情，宋无涯也正琢磨着这件事情呢。心里正想着呢，突然就看到原先跟随着他们的那名禁卫出现在了面前。“两位大人，属下又为两位大人准备了新的住处。只待两位大人回去收拾了行李便可以住进去了。”这到算是给他们解决了一个难题，宋无涯看向身旁的司徒雯和小环：“走吧，咱们回去收拾行李吧。”“我实在是不想再看到那血腥的一幕了！”司徒雯皱着眉头说道。先前经历的场面已经足以让她们两个弱女子心中惊恐了，可现在还要回去经历，想想这心里都会发毛的。她的担心一出口，那名禁卫立刻说道：“小姐还请放心，院子我们已经打扫过了，一切都已经清理干净了。”“走吧雯儿，没什么好怕的，我在这里呢。”宋无涯适时的安慰了司徒雯一句。回到原先的住处拿到了行李之后，在那名禁卫的带领下，他们来到了新的住处。这地方就在晋王的别院旁边不远处，也不知道是他们有意，还是晋王的交代，这样一来宋无涯想要去求见晋王的话，可是方便多了。劳累了一天，回到了屋内之后，宋无涯再也不想动弹了。虽然说，今日并非是一路行程那样的劳苦，可是所经历的事情给人带来的冲击实在是太大了。眼看着时间一点点的过去，不知不觉中便已经到了夜晚的时候了。今天一天所发生的事情，必定会成为城内所有人口中热议的事情。茶余饭后，他们都会是话题的焦点。后天便是科举开考的日子了，可身为主考官的祝元龙竟然还没有到此。虽然他们并不认识这个祝元龙，可是这心里多少还是有些担心此人的。第二日一早，当宋无涯他们清早起来外出吃早点的功夫，这耳边就听到了旁人的议论。果不其然，他们口中所议论的不是晋王，而是昨天刚刚路面的两位钦差大臣。普通的百姓所说的无非是一些闲言碎语，而举子们所议论的则是关于这两位钦差大臣加上晋王，绝对会让此次的科举更加的清澈透明的。听到这些举子口中的声音满是希望，而且他们脸上也全都挂着笑容，这让宋无涯和白卓几人听了之后，心里都很满足。毕竟昨天的事情，他们的所作所为，虽然没有能够满足这些举子内心的希望，但是至少让他们看到了希望。宋无涯虽然没有给省府大人定罪，可是却也给那些举子翻了案。而且也让这些举子看到了朝廷对此次科举考试的重视。“哎！只是可惜了那些举子，他们原本应该会有一个好功名的。”想到了那些举子，宋无涯不禁感叹了一声。他这么一说，也引来了他们三个对这些举子的同情。“回避！肃静！”一道嘹亮的喊声传来，打破了他们的悲悯之心。一时间，这早点摊位上的食客们，纷纷抬头向着街道上看去。一队官兵列作四队，正缓步自城门的方向走来。“这是！”“该不会是那位朝廷二品大员的主考官到了吧？”眼前的一幕，立刻就让旁边的举子猜测起来。而他们猜测到的第一个人，便是那位还没有到来的主考官祝元龙叻不过，与他们持不同意见的还是有的。“我看八成是昨天的钦差大臣，昨天他们突然出现，还没有正式亮相呢，所以今日一早才来城里游街，好让城里的百姓认识他们。”这不同的看法，竟然将他们也都扯进去了。虽然说起了他们，可是这话听着却并不是什么好话，这么一来，眼前的举动不就成了摆官架子了？这边话音刚落，那边的官兵就已经走过来了，一路敲锣声而来，后便紧跟着的便是官轿。官轿只有一顶，而宋无涯他们已经确定了这轿子里的人是谁。毕竟他们就是钦差大臣，他们可没有做什么游街展示官威的事情，刚刚他们所说的两种可能可就全都排除了。“只有一顶轿子，看来应该是那位主考官大人了。”“我看未必，这当官的谁不喜欢摆架子啊！我看那两位钦差大臣八成是一人一趟，等着瞧吧，估计一会就来了。”还是有人要把这事情扯到宋无涯他们的头上去，听着这话白卓差点没上去和那人理论。仪仗在官兵的保护下，缓缓向着城内而去。“无涯兄，我看这位主考官必定要去府衙，咱们要不要过去看看？”白卓看着那轿子远去，立刻询问宋无涯。街道上的行人们，目光依旧没有从那渐渐远去的队伍离开，嘴里也还在念叨着此事。虽然说，他们觉得这队伍更像是宋无涯和白卓所为，但也难免会议论到主考官的身上去。他们并没有离开的打算，这目光还在不断地向着队伍来时的方向看着，显然是等着下一波呢。宋无涯并不着急，而是慢慢的吃完了早点。“走吧，咱们去晋王那边看下。想必晋王此刻已经知晓这件事情了，只是不知道这位主考官是否也清楚晋王来到了这里。”宋无涯可不知道这位主考官在路上遇到了什么事情，但他必定会讲明这个原因的。原本他们还在猜测，这一次的主考官，怕是只能由晋王来代替了。现在好了，祝元龙来了，那事情就依旧按照原来的情况了。明日便是科举考试，这街头上的举子还真是不少，没想到他们临近在这科举之前，竟然还能够有这样平静的心态，实在是难得。沿着街道，令他们没想到的是，这位祝元龙也不知道是怎么知晓晋王来此的消息，竟然直接将轿子停在了晋王别院之前。没见着这位祝元龙，那显然说明他现在已经进入了晋王别院内。宋无涯几人直接向门口打了声招呼，便进入了晋王别院。看样子晋王也是有意交代过了，要让他们两人见识见识这位主考官。禁卫带着两人进入里边，很快便来到了正堂内。“王爷，宋大人和白大人到了。”禁卫当先进入禀报。“请两位钦差大人进来。”晋王抬头向外看着，向禁卫示意。而主考官祝元龙，就在晋王的下手坐着，听着晋王和禁卫的对话之后，同样扭头向外看去。宋无涯和白卓在得到了禁卫的回信之后，这才迈步进入了厅堂内。“下官宋无涯见过晋王。”“下官白卓见过晋王。”晋王起身，向两人介绍道：“两位平身，本王介绍一下，这位便是此次江南考场的主考官祝元龙祝大人。”“下官见过祝大人！”“下官见过祝大人！”祝元龙的官阶还在他们两人之上，宋无涯和白卓自然该当先问候。祝元龙微微点了点头之后，晋王才向他介绍宋无涯和白卓。“这两位是宋无涯宋大人以及白卓白大人。他们可都是皇兄钦点的官员，能力出众啊！”晋王特意的多说了几句，好让宋无涯和白卓的分量更重一些。“宋大人，白大人，本官也多有耳闻两位事迹，两位着实是圣上的左膀右臂啊！”这祝元龙到底和宋无涯以及白卓有些区别，他进入官场多年，这官场上的那套礼仪可要比他们这两个初出茅庐的小子要厉害的多。这一句称赞的话说出来，确实让宋无涯和白卓两人受用不少。两人当即谦虚，不敢就此默认。“祝大人谬赞了，要说圣上的左膀右臂，那也应该是祝大人您才对。要不然这江南科举主考官这等重任，怎么会交给祝大人您的手里呢？”宋无涯回了一句，也让祝元龙脸上的笑容灿烂了不少。

Chapter 6 and Eight

?Chapter 6 and eight look up the dossier

"Lord Song is over-reputed. Although I have some talents, I don't have any strengths. This time, thanks to the grace, I got the position of chief examiner of the Jiangnan imperial examination. It was also recommended by the ministers. I know that the responsibility is heavy. Don't dare to relax every day, for fear of disappointing the appreciation of the emperor and all the ministers." Zhu Yuanlong was very modest, and never became arrogant because of Song Wuya's praise.

His heartfelt words won praise from several people.

"Master Zhu's modest attitude is worth learning from these two juniors." Jin Wang took the words, praised Zhu Yuanlong with a smile, and even compared him to the role model of Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo nodded quickly: "Yes! Now we are only fourth-rank officials, and when I think about it in my heart, I am always complacent. But today I met Mr. Zhu, who is at the second rank, but he is still so humble. It is really worth learning for the younger generation. .”

"Yes!" Bai Zhuo also nodded in praise: "Although we have some talents, it's just a small skill, and it's more than enough to help the Holy One solve some minor problems. But if we want to govern the country, we have to rely on you, my lord." Such an official."

Not only Zhu Yuanlong, but also Song Wuya, Bai Zhuo and King Jin were all overjoyed under the courtesies.

It was rare for them to meet for the first time, so harmonious.But Song Wuya was thinking in his heart, in the next few days, they wondered if they could still stand together and chat so politely.

In the hall of King Jin, after exchanging pleasantries, several people talked about the imperial examination.

Only then did they learn that Zhu Yuanlong encountered a little trouble on the way, which delayed the trip.Fortunately, he also knew that time was running out, so he rushed day and night, so he came here before the imperial examination began.

Zhu Yuanlong was already exhausted because he had been on the road all night last night. After talking about it, King Jin asked someone to arrange for him to rest.
