Chapter 143: Same Examiner
When Prince Ning arrived with people, the five palace guards were already lying on the ground, and Huang Zhong even broke his lower leg, leaning against the wall, and broke out in a cold sweat.
King Ning Shizi was shocked and angry and asked, "What about Xu Jin?" β
Huang Zhong endured the pain and said: "I ran over there, there are masters by his side." β
"Rubbish!" King Ning Shizi roared and chased after him with more than a dozen guards.
Xu Jin and Erniu Zhao Xing ran along the alleyway for tea, and finally came to the main street.
Zhao Xing asked: "Young Master Xu, the two young masters have already gone to the governor's yamen to ask Lord Sun for help, should we go back to the inn or go to the governor's yamen?" β
"Go to the governor's yamen!" Xu Jin said decisively, he was really worried that the simple and rude Prince Ning would go directly to the inn to arrest him, so he felt that it was better to go to the governor's yamen for safety, and hoped that Sun Sui had already returned to the city.
Fortunately, there was still a quarter of an hour or so before the curfew, and the three of them were unimpeded on the streets, and if they were any longer, the intersections of the streets would be blocked.
Xu Jin and the others hurriedly walked all the way to the north of the city with lanterns, and at this time, Xie Erjian hurried up from behind.
"Hey, second brother, are you injured?" Xu Jin saw that the clothes on Xie Erjian's waist were stained red with blood, and he couldn't help but lose his voice.
Xie Erjian said lightly: "It's just that the skin has been scratched a little, and it's okay, let's go quickly." β
Xu Jin saw that Xie Erjian's expression was as usual, and he walked like flying, and it seemed that he was indeed not seriously injured, so he relaxed slightly.
At this time, a large group of people and horses came along the street, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that the guards of Ning Wangfu had taken a shortcut to intercept them, but they looked at it and saw that there were two young scholars walking in front of the team, which were Fei Maoxian and Fei Maozhong, and an old man with a bright spirit next to him was Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi.
"Ziqian!" The Fei brothers were overjoyed when they saw Xu Jinjun, and they quickened their pace to greet him.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out that the rescuers were coming, Xu Jin stepped forward quickly, saluted Sun Sui and Xu Kui, and said, "Xu Jin meets the governor, and meets the great grandmaster!" β
Sun Sui smiled and nodded, saying that the bandits in Leadshan were successfully exterminated, and the capture of the bandit leader Wu Sanba had the credit of Xu Jin, plus Xu Jin was still a protΓ©gΓ© of his friend Fei Hong, Sun Sui still valued Xu Jin, otherwise he would not have heard the news and immediately rushed to Ning Wangfu.
Xu Kui glanced at Xie Erjian, who was covered in blood, and asked suspiciously, "Xu Ziqian, how did you come out of the palace?" Could it be that it was forcibly broken out? β
Although Xu Jin was not very interested in Xu Kui, the other party came with Sun Sui, obviously preparing to go to Ning Wangfu to save himself, and he also had good intentions, so he said respectfully on the surface: "Back to the great grandmaster, it was Concubine Lou who let me out of the mansion, but Ning Wang Shizi sent someone to chase me halfway, we got away with it, I'm afraid there will be royal guards chasing after me for a while, and I hope that the two adults will protect one or two!" β
Sun Sui and Xu Sui couldn't help but suddenly realize that although Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, had a bad reputation, Concubine Lou was known to be virtuous, and she was kind-hearted, so it was not surprising to let Xu Jin go.
Sun Sui nodded and said: "Ziqian rest assured, as long as the old man is here, he will be able to protect you, but don't go back to the inn, stay in the old man's governor's yamen tonight, and when the hospital test is over, the old man will let you leave Nanchang!" β
As long as people are not brought into King Ning's mansion, Sun Sui is still confident that he can guarantee Xu Jin's safety, and unless King Ning rebels now, he will not dare to touch him, the governor of Jiangxi.
Xu Jin hurriedly said: "Lord Governor Xie is back for protection!" β
Sun Sui left half of his own soldiers to guard the streets, and then took Xu Jin and others to the north of the city.
Not long after Xu Jin and the others left, the prince of Ning Wang took more than a dozen palace guards to kill violently, but they were stopped by the personal soldiers left by Sun Sui.
"I am the prince of King Ning, who dares to stop me in Nanchang City!" Brother Zhu scolded angrily.
However, these pro-soldiers were all privately issued by Sun Sui, so they naturally obeyed Sun Sui's orders absolutely, and were not intimidated by the prince of Ning Wang, and still stopped in the middle of the road without giving an inch, and the swords and guns were unsheathed.
Fan Yi, the captain of the personal army, said with a cold face: "Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry, the governor has an order to temporarily block this street, and besides, it's curfew time, Your Royal Highness, please go back!" β
Brother Zhu was so angry that his nose was crooked, but now that his father took most of the people of the palace and the three guards out of the city to hunt, he felt a little less confident in his heart, and he didn't really dare to conflict with the governor's yamen.
"Damn, Sun Sui Lao Pifu, this account will be settled with you sooner or later, and you, you ...... All and more! Brother Zhu's fingers almost poked under the nose of Fan Yi, a member of the pro-soldier team, and threatened in a cruel voice: "Don't fall into the hands of this son in the future!" β
After Brother Zhu finished the scene, he left angrily with people, it took so much effort, and in the end he was so busy that His Royal Highness the Prince was so angry that Juhua was painful!
Fan Yi watched Brother Zhu lead people away, then he spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "Drag a fart, brothers, close the team!" β
Sun Sui's personal soldiers were all selected from Fuzhou Wei and Ganzhou Wei, even if Sun Sui was transferred in the future, they would at most return to the garrison guard, so they didn't need to look at the face of Ning Wangfu.
In the governor's yamen, Sun Sui asked about how Xu Jin was arrested and taken to King Ning's mansion, and Xu Jin talked about it roughly, but Concubine Lou's separate "interrogation" was concealed.
After hearing this, Xu Kui couldn't help but say angrily: "How can this be reasonable, the prince of King Ning is so despicable. β
King Ning planned to imprison and prevent Xu Jin from participating in the hospital examination, and spread rumors to ruin Xu Jin's reputation, but now that Xu Jin has successfully escaped, this plan is naturally bankrupt, and with Xu Kui, the great master, here, spreading rumors is also a waste of money.
Sun Sui said: "Ru Deng, you have to preside over the academy exam tomorrow, go back and rest first, Ziqian, the people dedicate to the people, you all live here tonight, and go to the Admiral Academy to participate in the academy tomorrow morning!" β
Xu Jin and the Fei brothers hurriedly thanked him, Xu Kui, as the chief examiner of the college exam, had violated the rules when he met the candidates privately before the exam, and he immediately resigned and left when he heard the words.
Next, Sun Sui summoned servants to prepare a room for Xu Jin and the others. The back of the governor's yamen was originally for the governor's family to live in, but this time Sun Sui went to Nanchang to take office without his family, so there were many empty rooms, and it was more than enough to arrange for Xu Jin and others to stay.
Besides, when the prince of Ning returned to the palace, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he left the palace with the guards and went straight to the residence of Liu Zhong, who supervised the imperial history.
It is worth mentioning here that the supervision of the imperial history is subordinate to the imperial court, each province has a number of supervision of the imperial history, responsible for picketing local officials, to some extent equivalent to the central government sent to the landlord of the discipline inspection officials, belongs to the emperor's eyes and ears, so although the official position of the imperial history is not high, but the local officials have to respect, otherwise the imperial history is caught by the handle of the ginseng, then it will not be able to eat and walk.
Liu Zhong is the inspector of Jiangxi Province, who was the judge of the Wenhui in the Tengwang Pavilion that day, this person seems to be notarized, but in fact he is secretly attached to Ning Wangfu, and in the last Danqing match, Liu Zhong voted for Zhu Qingshan of Nanchang Mansion.
And in this college examination, Yushi Liu Zhong happened to be the same examiner (that is, the deputy examiner).
Ning Wang Shizi originally wanted to directly prevent Xu Jin from participating in the college examination so that he could not pass the Xiucai exam, but now that the plan is bankrupt, he is extremely unwilling, so he plans to use Liu Zhong, the deputy examiner of the college examination, to secretly manipulate him.
