While they were eating, they leisurely watched Old Yu rolling on the ground, shouting and yelling. His face was already covered in bruises and his forehead was swollen.

There were seven or eight other drinkers in the lobby, all sitting there watching the fun, and no one went to report to the police.

Shen Qianchen slowly finished a cup of tea and asked the waiter to bring a pot of fruit juice. At this time, a noisy noise came from outside the tavern.

A young man in his twenties, wearing a royal blue robe with a crane holding a Ganoderma lucidum pattern, appeared outside the entrance of Li's Tavern with a dozen big men. These ten guards were all tall and strong, with ferocious looks, and they had an attitude that they were here with ill intentions and would not welcome good people.

The bearded man who went to get help was also there, pointing at Gu Jue's nose and saying in a pretentious manner: "Second Young Master Wei, that's him!"

The Second Young Master Wei sneered and ordered his men, "Capture them!"

The four secret guards surrounding Lao Yu finally stopped and looked at Master Wei Er and his group.

A glimmer of hope flashed across Old Yu's face as he finally got a chance to catch his breath. He glared at Gu Jue fiercely, thinking that he must teach this ignorant brat a lesson today.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the drinkers who came to watch the fun didn't dare to stay any longer. They even didn't dare to go through the main entrance, for fear of coming into conflict with Young Master Wei's gang.

After a while, only Gu Jue and his group, as well as Young Master Wei's gang who were blocking the door, were left in the lobby of the tavern. The shopkeeper and the waiter were so scared that they hid behind the counter, secretly sighing in their hearts: It's really a fight between gods, and the little devils are suffering.

Gu Jue smiled faintly, not bothering to say a word, just raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The four secret guards dressed as bodyguards immediately understood what was going on and rushed towards the group led by Young Master Wei II.

Young Master Wei and the bearded man stood outside the tavern but did not go in. The leading guard shouted angrily and swung his fist at one of the narrow-eyed secret guards, intending to knock out one of the man's teeth with one punch as a demonstration.

However, just as he swung his right fist, the narrow-eyed secret guard grabbed his wrist, and the other party gently pulled and twisted it. With a "click", everyone heard the sound of a broken bone.

The next moment, a burst of shrill screams almost blew the roof off, but the four secret guards remained unmoved. They all attacked, and each move was aimed at the vital points of the dozen or so guards.

Less than half a cup of tea later, the dozen or so guards brought by Young Master Wei fell to the ground, rolling around and wailing, holding their wounds.

Old Yu was also dumbfounded. He sat on the ground and backed away repeatedly until his back hit the wall. He had nowhere to retreat and a look of shock on his face.

Young Master Wei also realized that the other party was not a good person, so he turned around and tried to escape, but was blocked by the secret guard with narrow eyes.

"Where do you want to go?" the secret guard said with a smile.

The second young master Wei had an extremely ugly look on his face, with cold sweat on his forehead. He stepped back step by step and almost tripped over the threshold.

"Chang Ling," Gu Jue took a sip of the fruit juice, twisted the white porcelain cup between his fingers, and said lightly, "Send them to Jingzhao Prefecture and sue them for selling fake questions."

The secret guard named Chang Ling clasped his fists in response.

Old Yu: “!!!”

Second Master Wei: "!!!"

Bearded man: “!!!”

The group of people simply couldn't believe their ears. They were all speechless, almost wondering if the young man in front of them was crazy.

That's right, his brain must be broken. Candidates who buy questions will be disqualified from the exam. Not only will they fail this year, they will never be able to take the imperial examination in their lifetime! Lao Yu bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain told him that this was not a dream.

He couldn't help but speak out everyone's thoughts: "Yin Jiuxia, are you crazy?!"

Shen Qianchen laughed out loud when he heard this. Gu Jue had always been "crazy", otherwise how could he have gone to participate in the provincial examination at the age of fourteen, joined the army at the age of fifteen, and now ascended the throne of the emperor after he came of age! He had always followed his heart, and the things he did were never based on the consciousness of ordinary people.

The head guard Ling took two steps forward and fiercely kicked a guard on the ground, threatening: "Still don't get up!"

The dozen or so guards crawled up from the ground in a panic. Each of them had bruises on his body and his face was full of colors.

At this moment, Second Master Wei almost hated Old Yu. He didn't know why this idiot found such a troublemaker as a buyer.

But now it was useless to beat up Old Yu, so the Second Master Wei could only admit defeat and said politely, "Master Yin, we didn't sell fake questions. It's just that the Ministry of Rites suddenly changed the test questions. It should be the emperor's intention. It happened too suddenly..."

"So, the test questions you sold me before were real?" Gu Jue interrupted him.

The Second Young Master Wei nodded quickly in response.

Old Yu found it a bit strange. He had explained the matter of changing the test questions to this man surnamed Yin before, but the other party just wouldn't accept this reason. Why did he seem to be showing signs of loosening up now? The change in attitude was too sudden.

Gu Jue said to Jing Feng, "Write this down. He admitted it himself."

"Take everyone to Jingzhao Prefecture immediately!"

“How dare you!” Young Master Wei’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he shouted at Gu Jue, “Do you know who I am?! My father is the Minister of Personnel. If you offend me today, don’t even think about having a good life. You will definitely regret it.”

Gu Jue was too lazy to waste time talking to this kind of person. This Wei Er was not qualified!

At his command, several carriages were prepared outside the tavern, and Old Yu, Young Master Wei, and the people he brought with him were all loaded onto the carriages.

The group went straight to Jingzhao Prefecture, leaving the tavern lobby in a mess. The owner and the waiter looked at each other, feeling that what had just happened was even more exciting than the script.

Shen Qianchen was smiling the whole time. She was smiling when she came out of Li's Tavern, and she was still smiling after she got on the carriage with Gu Jue. When the carriage arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture and she was helped off the carriage by Gu Jue, she was still smiling.

The shallow dimples dotted her delicate little face, adding a touch of cleverness and charm to her.

It was so funny! She covered her mouth and watched Gu Jue continue to laugh, enjoying herself.

The person who went to beat the drum of grievance was Jingfeng.

As the drum of complaint sounded, many passers-by immediately gathered outside the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture, curious about what was going on.

The reaction from Jingzhao Prefecture was also extremely quick. After only three or four strikes on the drum for appealing for justice, several yamen runners brought Gu Jue, Young Master Wei, and the rest of the gang to the court.

The atmosphere in the court is always dignified and solemn, which makes people feel awe-inspiring.

At this moment, Jingzhao Yin was not there, and the person who appeared in the hall was Zhang Huahuan, the Tongpan of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Zhang Huahuan glanced around the courtroom and wanted to question the visitor why he was beating the drum so loudly. However, before he could say anything, he saw a familiar figure among the people in the courtroom, so the gavel froze in mid-air.

"Second Master Wei!"

Zhang Huahuan recognized that the Second Master Wei was the son of Minister Wei and exclaimed in surprise.

The yamen runners at the scene were also very smart. They knew that this matter involved a nobleman, but this was Jingzhao Prefecture and they could not hold the trial behind closed doors. So the squad leader ordered a row of yamen runners to stand at the gate, forming an impenetrable human wall to keep the curious eyes of the people out.

The squad leader whispered something to Zhang Huahuan, and Zhang Huahuan then realized who the plaintiff was and looked at Gu Jue again.

Seeing that Gu Jue had an extraordinary demeanor, Zhang Huahuan guessed that he had made great achievements, so he did not let him kneel down. After clearing his throat, he asked in a pretentious manner: "Who are you, and why are you beating the drum to complain?"

Gu Jue smiled and said, "Yin Jiuxia of Bingzhou sued the second son of Wei Jingze, the Minister of Personnel, for selling the examination questions!"

"..." When Zhang Huahuan heard this, his jaw almost dropped. He never thought that this was a case involving cheating in the imperial examination.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Huahuan felt overwhelmed.

If this case is tried seriously, it will implicate many people, and I don't know how many people will be beheaded! Zhang Huahuan immediately weighed the pros and cons in his mind, rang the gavel, and shouted: "Bold Yin Jiuxia, how dare you wrongly accuse the second son of Wei!"

Gu Jue raised his eyebrows: "You didn't ask me the whole story, and you didn't ask if there was any physical evidence, but you said I wronged him. How can that be true?!"

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that it was the Second Young Master Wei who sold the examination questions to you?" Zhang Huahuan asked with a sneer.

Even if Zhang Huahuan hadn't interrogated him yet, he could guess that with the identity of the Second Young Master Wei, it was impossible for him to sell the test questions directly. The person who sold the questions must be one of his subordinates. Now, it was just a case of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud. Somehow, Yin Jiuxia found out that it was the Second Young Master Wei!

Young Master Wei, who was standing aside, smiled confidently.

Before going to Jingzhao Prefecture, he was a little panicked, but when he saw Zhang Huahuan defending him, he calmed down. Yes, officials have always protected each other since ancient times. Even if the Minister of Justice came to try the case in person today, Old Yu would not dare to publicly identify him as the mastermind, and no one could punish him!

Young Master Wei gently stroked his sleeves and said to Gu Jue in a voice that only the people around him could hear: "Brother, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. If you continue to make trouble, it will not do you any good!"

"If you hurry up and admit your mistake to me, I will give you a copy of the exam paper for next year's special exam. It will be good for both you and me!"

"If you continue to make trouble, I will sue you for false accusation, and you will be imprisoned!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The second young master Wei's voice was cold, and he did not try to hide the threat in his words.

After a pause, he continued, "Don't forget, you also bought the test paper. If you really make a fuss, you won't have to take the imperial examination again in your life! Think it over carefully, don't let your momentary anger make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

Gu Jue didn't say anything, but Jing Feng beside Gu Jue yelled at the top of his voice: "You sold fake examination papers to my son, and now you want to threaten us, where is justice!! "

Jing Feng's voice was loud and clear, and it was heard clearly from the courtroom. Even the people who were peeking outside heard it. They were immediately shocked and talked about it: "I just heard that someone was selling the examination papers? Did I hear it correctly?"

"You heard it right! You heard it right! That's exactly what he said!"

"Didn't the first exam just end today? And now there's a cheating case?"

“…”

The people outside were talking loudly.

As a result, more people rushed to the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture upon hearing the news, especially the scholars and students, who were very excited because they heard about the case of cheating in the imperial examination.

Outside Jingzhao Prefecture, onlookers gathered in three layers inside and outside, forming a huge crowd.

The second young master Wei's face suddenly darkened, and his original calmness was no longer there.

He felt like he was going crazy, and cursed Lao Yu again for selling the test paper to such a stubborn person. Did Yin Jiuxia want to perish together with him? !

"Yin Jiuxia!" The second young master Wei gritted his teeth and took a step closer to Gu Jue, wanting to say, "Don't refuse my toast and drink a forfeit." He thought that if the other party didn't know what was good for him, he would let Zhang Tongpan arrest him.

He just didn't believe that he couldn't handle a mere stranger! However, just as he took a step, Jing Feng attacked, or rather, kicked, heavily kicking the second son of Wei on the shin.

Jingfeng had followed Gu Jue for many years and was good at martial arts, while the Second Young Master Wei was just a weak young man who had no time to dodge and let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

Seeing this, Zhang Huahuan above was also angry. He knocked on the wooden door again and shouted angrily: "How dare you! This is a court. How dare you make a noise in the court!"

"Come here, capture them all for me!"

Zhang Huahuan felt that this was just like someone handing him a pillow when he was sleepy. Now he could naturally take down Yin Jiuxia and his gang, and then send someone to contact Minister Wei.

But just as he finished speaking, another figure wearing a black gauze hat and a red robe embroidered with peacocks appeared outside the lobby. It was a man in his forties with a goatee.

"How dare you!" the visitor shouted in shock.

Zhang Huahuan, who was sitting in the hall, thought the other party was talking about Gu Jue, and hurriedly said, "Master Hong, this case is..."

However, before Zhang Huahuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jingzhao Yin: "Zhang Huahuan, that's enough!"

Jingzhao Yin grabbed his robe and hurried over the threshold into the court.

Because he was a little tired today and had just taken a short nap in the back hall, he was unable to rush over as soon as the drum of injustice sounded. At this moment, he was really regretful and regretted that he should not have asked the judge Zhang Huahuan to come and handle the case first.

But who could have imagined that the emperor of the time would appear in the court of Jingzhao Prefecture in this way!

Jingzhao Yin felt that even a play script would not dare to be written in this way.

As he thought about it, he quickly walked to Gu Jue and bowed his head politely: "Your Highness!"

Jingzhao Yin was a third-rank civil official and was qualified to attend the morning court. Of course he recognized Gu Jue.

“…”

“…”

“…”

For a moment, time around me seemed to stop.

Everyone, including Zhang Huahuan, the second son of the Wei family, and Old Yu, were dumbfounded and could not believe their ears. Some even pinched themselves secretly.

Zhang Huahuan stammered, "Isn't he Yin Jiuxia?"

When the three words "Yin Jiuxia" came out, Zhang Huahuan suddenly realized that the current queen mother's surname was Yin, and the current emperor Gu Jue was the ninth among his brothers, and Gu Jue's courtesy name seemed to be Jiuxia. Gu Jue's status was too noble, even before he ascended the throne, few people were qualified to call him by his courtesy name, so most people did not have a deep impression of his courtesy name.

The young man in front of him turned out to be the new emperor Gu Jue! Zhang Huahuan felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away at once, and he felt weak and powerless, his face pale.

He staggered to his feet, then stumbled down the hall, and knelt down in front of Gu Jue with a plop. He simply didn't dare to think about what he had just said to the new emperor.

"..." Second Master Wei was also dumbfounded and still couldn't believe this fact.

The man who called himself "Yin Jiuxia" was actually the current emperor, the Emperor of Great Qi? !

How is this possible? However, it is absolutely impossible for Jingzhao Yin to admit his mistake to the emperor.

The second young master Wei's face turned visibly pale.

Gu Jue stroked his sleeves elegantly and nodded, "I don't have to take the imperial examination in my lifetime? That's great, then I won't take it."

As he said that, he turned to Shen Qianchen and said, "Your imperial wife is gone."

Shen Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, jokingly saying: "Then think carefully about how to compensate me!"

Gu Jue nodded in agreement.

"..." Second Master Wei seemed to be dumb and could not utter a word. His back was soaked with cold sweat. Only one voice was echoing in his mind: It's over, it's all over! (End of this chapter)
