The two of them were very young, but the two of them were very young.

You know, only scholars can participate in the provincial examination, and seeing that he is so young and handsome, he must be a genius.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have a career in the future.

Why bother to make trouble and make yourself miserable?

When Lin Zixuan and Lin Zihe heard this, they hurriedly got on the carriage and lined up to enter the city.

The entrance fee is five coins per person, and if there are large luggage and carriages, it will be charged separately. The clerk in tax uniform at the door saw that the three people did not have much stuff, but there was a carriage.

So he asked the three people to pay twenty coins for the entrance fee before they could come in. Lin Zihe reluctantly gave the clerk twenty coins.

The entrance fee for Old Man Li and the carriage was also ten coins.

"The entrance fee to Jizhou City is so expensive. If it were in Yuncheng, it would only cost two cents per person."

Lin Zihe said distressedly, touching his pocket.

This is just the beginning. You will know how expensive Jizhou City is in a while. After all, Jizhou City is equivalent to the provincial capital.

Lin Zixuan thought quietly in his heart.

The carriage entered the city with the traffic. Lin Zixuan asked Old Man Li to stop the carriage in front of an inn.

The two Lin brothers jumped off the carriage, stretched their bodies, picked up the luggage, thanked Old Man Li, and after paying the remaining amount, the coachman drove the carriage away.

Outside the inn, there was a constant flow of people. The waiter at the door was wearing a gray short robe with a rag on his shoulders, and was busy wiping the tables and chairs in the inn.

He saw two guests getting off the car at the door and wanted to come in, and shouted loudly: "Two guests, please come in! Are you staying overnight or staying here?"

"Waiter, prepare two guest rooms for us. They must be connected!"

Lin Zihe said to the waiter.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter was very happy to hear this, and quickly led the two into the inn and walked to the counter.

"Boss, these two guests want two guest rooms next to each other. Can you show us where is suitable?"

The waiter said to the shopkeeper.

"These two guests, at present, there are only ground-level guest rooms and guest rooms next to each other. What do you think?"

The shopkeeper's eyes slightly opened, and he asked in an inquiring tone.

"Okay, stay for a month first, and we need two guest rooms."

Lin Zixuan nodded slightly, looking at the decoration of the inn. It was not luxurious, but it was also low-key and stylish. Besides, the provincial examination would be held in another month, so it was good to have empty rooms.

Fortunately, this place was not far from the examination venue.

"Okay, a total of twelve taels of silver."

The shopkeeper took out an abacus and counted a few times, then said to the two of them.

Lin Zihe was still a little surprised when he saw Lin Zixuan take out twelve taels of silver and give it to the shopkeeper.

Where did his brother get so much silver? Isn't the money in my hands?

"Brother, this is what the teacher gave me."

Lin Zixuan looked at his brother's puzzled expression, so he explained softly.

Lin Zihe nodded, and immediately understood.

At night.

In Lin Zixuan's room.

A black shadow appeared behind Lin Zixuan.

Lin Zixuan seemed to be unaware and continued to drink tea.

Suddenly, the black shadow knelt on one knee and said, "Master, I have investigated it clearly and came here to report to you."

"Get up and tell me about your achievements this year."

Lin Zixuan said without turning his head.

It turned out that this black shadow was Lin Yi, his puppet subordinate.

"Master, I have founded a Jianghu organization called Dark Tower, which mainly relies on selling various intelligence and accepting various tasks to earn money to ensure its operation."

"Now, in addition to the intelligence business, other businesses are mainly protection and assassination. There are about a thousand people in the Dark Tower, including three high-level innates, eleven mid-level innates, fifty early innate strongmen, and a hundred super-first-class masters. The remaining warriors are all first-class and second-class masters, and about half of the office staff are already spread across the state capitals across the country."

"Now a group of innate masters have sneaked into the palace and are always keeping an eye on the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Princess." Lin Yi stood up and reported.

"There are also some innate masters who are keeping an eye on Shen Yuankai's whereabouts. This is a record manual."

As Lin Yi spoke, he took out a book and handed it to him with both hands.

After Lin Zixuan took it, he flipped through it briefly.

He found that the male protagonist, Shen Yuankai, was not a simple character.

He was born in a branch of the Shen family in Jizhou. The Shen family in Jizhou City is not a small family. Not to mention the top three, it is also a big family in the top ten.

However, because his father was the previous head of the Shen family

Bastard, his mother is just an ordinary maid, their family has no say in the Shen family, they belong to the lowest status, even the main family servants sometimes do not give a good face.

Logically speaking, he is just a branch family child all his life.

But I don't know when, the third daughter of the head of the Wang family in Jizhou City fell in love with Shen Yuankai, that is the pearl of the Wang family, known as the first beauty in Jizhou City, and the two have set a wedding date.

That is the Wang family ranked first in Jizhou City, its foundation, connections, and status far exceed the Shen family.

Lin Zixuan's head was full of black lines, wondering in his heart, didn't the male protagonist meet the ninth princess three years later, the two fell in love, and then got married?

Where did another fiancée come from?

This male protagonist is really liked by women.

Lin Zixuan had to sigh, this male protagonist is really liked by women, the first beauty in Jizhou City, and the pearl in the palm of the first family in Jizhou, what kind of man can't be found, but he chose a bastard from the side branch of the Shen family.

It is already conceivable how angry the head of the Wang family was when he heard the news, but for some reason he still agreed.

Although at this time, Shen Yuankai was a scholar like him.

But he was just a small scholar, no different from ordinary people in the eyes of the big men in the state capital, just an ant that could be easily crushed to death.

However, the so-called first family now is nothing in Lin Zixuan's eyes. Not to mention the innate masters and super-first-class masters in the dark building, just the puppet Lin Yi is enough to easily destroy the so-called first family.

"Does Shen Yuankai have any other special circumstances?"

Lin Zixuan thought about it and asked Lin Yi.

"I didn't find anything special about him, but... according to the intelligence, I found that his private character is very different from his external character."

"This Shen Yuankai often insults and beats servants in private, but he hides it well in front of people. He always looks enthusiastic and righteous. He even got beaten for helping a farmer who was bullied by a store owner."

That makes sense.

"Send some innate warriors to protect my parents. Eliminate any person or force that intends to harm my parents."

"Also, when the Dark Gang accepts a mission, do not protect those evildoers, nor assassinate those who do good deeds."

Lin Zixuan directly instructed Lin Yi.

"Do you understand?"

Lin Zixuan glanced at him.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Yi replied respectfully.

After that, he disappeared.
