Two days later, a new wave of rhetoric emerged in Tokyo.
The focus of the speech is this year's top scholar Han Xingxiu and the Qinghe Palace.
Some people say that Han Tuizhi, the father of this year's top scholar Han Xingxiu, was the prefect of Luoyang Prefecture. He used his power for personal gain and perverted the law, shielding a murderer and leaving the victim with no one to turn to for help.
Some people say that this year's top scorer Han Xingxiu has bad behavior, spreads rumors about others, and takes revenge for personal gain.
Some people also said that a counselor named Bai from the Qinghe Palace massacred the Mei family in Luoyang, and the only descendant of the Luoyang Mei family is the current Lord of Lanling City.
Some people also say that the tragedy of the Mei family is related to Prince Qinghe.
Some people even linked Han Tuizhi's case to the Qinghe Palace, saying that in order to gain benefits, the Qinghe Palace colluded with Bai Yanlang, Han Tuizhi and others to massacre the Mei family.
These rumors spread to the Qinghe Palace, and the Qinghe Prince immediately guessed that it was Ye Zelin's masterpiece.
Previously, he used Bao Changzhou to get rid of the Minister of Revenue, Mu Hongguang, so that he could take the position himself. Now he plans to use the incident of the Lord of Lanling City to attack the Qinghe Palace.
His deep eyes turned to a white chess piece on the table. He didn't take Bai Yanlang seriously as he was just a white chess piece.
Once Bai Yanlang takes the life of the Lord of Lanling City, he will no longer be of any value.
He took a black piece from the chess box and placed it on the chessboard. "All the sacrifices of the pieces are valuable."
There is a tall and majestic willow tree in front of Lefeng Tower, with thick green branches pressing down and swaying in the wind.
Ye Zelin suddenly fell in love with a kind of Jinhua wine. Hua Fushu had time to go out and heard that this wine was only sold in Lefenglou, so he went to Lefenglou to buy a few bottles of Jinhua wine for Ye Zelin.
"Boss, I want five bottles of Jinhua wine, packed in." Hua Fushu said to the boss while standing in front of the counter.
"Boss, I want ten bottles of Jinhua wine." Suddenly, a man came to the counter and told the shopkeeper that he wanted to buy wine.
The person who came was Han Xingjian. Hua Fushu was not surprised and even expected that he would come to see her.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Suddenly a clerk called the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper went over to take a look with an unhappy look.
"Is there something?" Hua Fushu's tone was unfriendly, even cold.
"Is Han Zhuangyuan my brother?" Han Xingjian asked.
Hua Fushu was a good person in front of Han Xingjian for once. She said, "Yes."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Han Xingjian asked.
"Why should I tell you?" She was not the kind of person who was too pushy. Her willingness to treat Han Tuizhi was already her biggest concession.
Han Xingjian's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
"Don't forget that we are in a cooperative relationship." Han Xingjian warned in a low voice.
Hua Fushu opened her bright almond eyes and said, "Don't forget, your father is in my hands."
"Sir, the wine is here."
The waiter came over carrying five bottles of Jinhua wine. Hua Fushu glanced at Han Xingjian lightly, paid the money, turned around and left Lefeng Tower.
The waiter came up to Han Xingjian carrying ten bottles of Jinhua wine. "Sir, please take them. If not, we can send them to your house."
"No."
Han Xingjian paid the money, but only took four bottles of Jinhua wine from the waiter, turned around and walked towards the gate.
"Sir, don't you want the remaining wine?" the waiter asked anxiously.
"No." Han Xingjian waved his hand casually.
"But you paid for ten bottles!"
The waiter chased after him, but when he reached the door, Han Xingjian had disappeared.
The guy scratched his head and muttered, "What a weirdo."
He told the shopkeeper about this, and the shopkeeper was quite calm. He had been running Lefenglou for many years and had seen many strange things. Although it was rare for someone to pay and not take the goods, he didn't find it strange. He said, "If the guest comes back, give him the remaining bottles of wine. If he doesn't come back, just assume that he has forgotten about it."
People were moving around like flowing water, and the hustle and bustle around seemed to have nothing to do with Han Xingjian. He drank heavily while casually walking through the streets and alleys. As he walked, he came to an extremely quiet alley.
He stopped and stared at the closed door in front of him in a daze, his dark eyes gradually becoming blurred.
He naturally knew that the person living behind this door was his own brother.
He wanted to knock on the door, but he didn't dare. He didn't know how to face his brother. It was he who had regarded the thief as his father for many years, and it was he who couldn't bear to treat the enemy.
He stood there for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to take a step.
"What are you doing at my door?"
Han Xingxiu was wearing the green official uniform of an editor of the Hanlin Academy. As soon as he got off the car, he saw someone standing in front of his door, so he asked.
Han Xingjian had his back to Han Xingxiu, but from what the man said, he guessed that this person was his brother.
He suppressed his excitement, restrained all his expressions, and slowly turned around. "I, I came to ask for directions. I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out. I'll leave now and not disturb you anymore."
Han Xingjian turned and left.
Han Xingxiu suddenly felt that the man was very familiar and shouted loudly, "Xingjian!"
Suddenly hearing his brother calling his name, Han Xingjian couldn't help but get nervous and quickened his pace for no reason.
"Xing Jian? He is Xing Jian?"
Han Xingxiu was stunned and quickly chased after him.
Han Xingjian's pace was getting faster and faster, and Han Xingxiu couldn't catch up at all.
Han Xingjian jumped onto a wall and disappeared from Han Xingxiu's sight.
"Xing Jian! Xing Jian!"
"I'm your brother! You're back, aren't you? You came to see me, right?"
"Why don't you recognize your brother?"
"Xingjian, my brother——"
Han Xingxiu called out again and again, but there was no sign of Han Xingjian. In the end, all he could do was gasp for breath.
…
The mountains and forests are lush and green, as dark as ink.
A solemn and murderous atmosphere swept through the forest, and the decisive battle of Ziying Mountain arrived as expected.
"Junior sister, do you think you can escape from my sword this time?" Bai Yanlang raised his eyebrows and looked at the Lord of Lanling City with fierce eyes. The upward curve of his mouth revealed a bit of contempt and confidence.
The Lord of Lanling City said lightly, "Is that so?"
Bai Yanlang said, "I have laid a net at the foot of the mountain. Even if you can escape from me, you can't escape the net."
The Lord of Lanling City glanced at Bai Yanlang with his cold and beautiful phoenix eyes, and a hint of contempt appeared on his lips.
She is just an ant. Do you think her disciples are vegetarians?
"Today is my father's birthday, and it is also the day you will die."
At the top of the mountain, two figures were fighting, one black and one white.
The cold sword blade danced in the sunlight, staining the white dress with a touch of crimson, and splashing onto a cluster of short bushes on the edge of the cliff, leaving them mottled with bright red, like a rose that had just bloomed.
"Bai Yanlang, my Mei family treated you well, but you slaughtered my entire clan." The bloody sword blade pointed directly at Bai Yanlang's throat, and his cold eyes were filled with anger.
"Master always says that he treats me like his own son, but in reality, he has never treated me like one. I am more suitable for practicing the Dark Fragrance Heart Method than you, but Master refuses to pass it on to me."
