Chapter 185 High School Jie Yuan
Jingcheng Princess Mansion
Several days have passed, and Xiao Liuzi has not yet come to report the results of the surveillance to Liang Zhilan.
This made Liang Zhilan suspicious, so she decisively sent people to the vicinity of Huicui Tower to inquire about the relevant situation.
After some inquiries, I finally learned that Chen Ruotong had already returned to Pingyang City.
However, Xiao Liuzi did not come back to report the matter. Could it be that he left with Chen Ruotong without permission?
Liang Zhilan didn't know at this time that Xiao Liuzi had actually been received into the space by Chen Ruotong.
For Liang Zhilan, this is undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to deal with Chen Ruotong.
Therefore, she gave orders and sent out eight skilled assassins again, targeting Pingyang Prefecture and vowing to kill Chen Ruotong.
At the same time, the ranking of the rural list was officially announced.
Qiao Zien successfully won the first place and became the top scorer in the capital. The value of such an achievement is extremely high and it is simply amazing!
After hearing the news, Qiao Zien finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the wisdom of the ancients is unfathomable. Even though he has accumulated knowledge from both his past and present lives, he may still be at a disadvantage when facing these ancients.
Therefore, it is not easy to achieve such outstanding results.
And Qiao Zhenbang, Qiao Zien’s “cheap” father, couldn’t help but feel happy.
He felt that his waist, which had been in unbearable pain, suddenly stopped hurting, and his whole mental state became particularly uplifting.
At this moment, he was enthusiastically directing the servants in his house to prepare a celebratory banquet and have a good celebration.
Qiao Zien has always been a low-key and humble person, and faced with such a grand celebration, she felt a little uneasy.
So he hurriedly persuaded Qiao Zhenbang: "Father, this time I just passed the imperial examination, there is really no need to mobilize so many people and make such a big fuss.
If one day, my child can pass the imperial examination and become the top scorer in the imperial examination, it will not be too late for you to carefully prepare a grand celebration! "
Qiao Zhenbang retorted disapprovingly: "Our Qiao family is a family of military generals. Now that we have finally produced a scholar like you with brilliant literary talent, how can we not take good care of it?
Don't say anything more, just go back to your Zizhu Courtyard and study peacefully, and let your father take care of the rest!"
Seeing Qiao Zhenbang's firm attitude, Qiao Zien knew it was difficult to change his mind, so she simply stopped asking about the matter.
He hurried back to Zizhuyuan and wrote a letter to Chen Ruotong with joy to tell her the exciting good news.
He missed Chen Ruotong a little and hoped that she would return to Beijing as soon as possible to reunite with him.
The Marquis' Mansion was decorated with lights and was bustling with activity. A grand banquet was in full swing and guests from all over were arriving.
Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion attached great importance to this banquet. Not only did they prepare a sumptuous feast of wine and delicious food, they also decorated the venue meticulously, showing the grandeur and dignity of the Marquis's Mansion everywhere.
Behind all this, Qiao Zhenbang had his own plans. He knew that the Marquis' Mansion had been overshadowed by the Tian family case recently, and urgently needed some festive events to dispel the bad luck.
It just so happened that Qiao Zien worked hard and won the title of Jieyuan in the imperial examination, which undoubtedly became the best opportunity.
As expected, as people often say: one good-looking face can hide a hundred ugly features. Nowadays, the most talked-about thing among people after dinner is the happy event of Qiao Zien winning the first prize in the imperial examination, and it seems that they have gradually forgotten the unpleasant experiences of the Marquis' Mansion.
At this time, Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan also came to the banquet. They both had smiles on their faces and held a gift in their hands, obviously coming for this purpose.
After Qiao Zien learned about it, he hurried out the door and greeted him warmly, "Brother Yu, please come in..."
Zhen Yu smiled and responded, "Haha, my dear brother Zien, congratulations! When the emperor heard that you passed the exam at such a young age, he was very pleased and praised you highly!
His Majesty hopes that you can continue to work hard, strive to reach greater heights, and strive to achieve even better results in the upcoming joint examinations and palace examinations, win the first and second place in the imperial examinations, and achieve the feat of passing the three examinations!
By then, it will be a great blessing for our Great Liang Dynasty! Hahaha..." As he said this, Zhen Yu handed the gift in his hand to Qiao Zien.
"Thank you for your good wishes. I hope everything will go as smoothly as you said! Zi'en will spare no effort and do his best to never let down the high expectations of His Majesty and all my friends!" He said firmly, his eyes full of determination.
In fact, Emperor Xuanwu had always longed to build up his own powerful force in order to counter the regent and his group of powerful old ministers. However, this was not an easy task and required tremendous effort and hard work.
Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan tried many times to sneak into the Regent's Palace to find out the truth, but they failed every time, which made them anxious but helpless.
Faced with such a dilemma, they really didn't know how to break the deadlock.
And this time, he made a special trip to visit Qiao Zien with a glimmer of hope, asking this master with extraordinary martial arts and peerless magical weapons to help him with advice and see if he could find a feasible way to more easily sneak into the Marquis' Mansion and conduct investigations.
Because in their eyes, Qiao Zien has such strength and conditions. If he lends a hand, perhaps things will turn around.
Qiao Zien frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Since we can't enter the palace, then let's start with Liang Zhilan. I always feel that there is something wrong with the brothel she and Su Kexin run.
Su Kexin returned the manor so easily. I think it was too smooth. There must be something fishy about it!"
"Well, Zien is right. If one path doesn't work, then we should decisively choose another path. Maybe we can move forward smoothly?" Wei Bufan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Qiao Zien's point of view.
"In addition, I also heard that after Aunt Xu passed away, her children went to the Princess's Mansion to ask for help, but Liang Zhilan only gave them two hundred taels of silver for funeral arrangements.
The brother and sister were extremely dissatisfied with the result. I wonder if we can get some useful clues from them." Qiao Zien continued.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Brother Zien seems to be quite familiar with the situation in the Princess's Mansion! This alternative approach is not a bad idea!" Zhen Yu raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.
"It's really a helpless move. After all, Liang Zhilan has tried to murder Gu Chuan many times. If we want to compete with her, we naturally need to know ourselves and the enemy!" Qiao Zien sighed softly, revealing a hint of worry in his tone.
"Then will Guchuan face the same danger when he returns to Pingyang Prefecture this time?" Zhen Yu frowned, his worry evident in his words.
"I am also worried about this matter. I hope that he can turn danger into safety and return to the capital safely in the end!" Qiao Zien clenched her hands, as if silently praying that Gu Chuan would be safe.
