The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

Chapter 466 Ancient Human-Demon Love 9

Chen Lansheng used the strange and unpredictable means of monsters to cheat and seek fame in the imperial examination. Tianxuan Zhenren soon reported it to the emperor. This matter is of great importance. The champion of the Spring Examination did not get his rank by real talent and knowledge, but cheated by relying on monsters. If this matter is leaked, the fairness of the imperial examination will be doubted by everyone.

The emperor made a prompt decision and immediately sent people to investigate Chen Lansheng's imperial examination. Under the investigation of the secret guards and the Taoist priests of the Tianshi Taoist Temple, evidence of Chen Lansheng's cheating was indeed found. It was determined that this person did rely on the secret techniques of monsters to know the questions of the imperial examination papers in advance, and he had prepared well to get a good result.

After the matter was investigated, the emperor stripped Chen Lansheng of his title of Huiyuan, deprived him of his title of Juren and Xiucai, and although he did not take his life, he was imprisoned, and ordered that Chen Lansheng's three generations of descendants should not participate in the imperial examinations - although now Chen Lansheng is imprisoned in prison, it is not certain that he can come out to have children.

This matter caused great turmoil in the court and the country, and they almost had to retake the Spring Examination. However, because Xuanyuan had long asked Tianxuan Zhenren not to tell others that he was the one who exposed and reminded this matter, Xuanyuan was not involved in this matter. No matter how the turmoil in the court is, it is all public affairs and has nothing to do with the private affairs of the Xie family.

"I really can't see that Chen Lansheng, an ordinary poor boy with neither power nor money, could know in advance that he cheated in the Spring Examination. It really makes people wonder how he cheated." As the prime minister of a country, even though Prime Minister Xie had previously put Chen Lansheng on the list of future sons-in-law for inspection, when such a big thing happened, he still thought from the perspective of public affairs.

Xuan Yuan lowered his eyes, pretending to be ignorant of the matter. He just sipped the clear tea from his teacup, and did not participate in the discussion. He let Prime Minister Xie frown and think about Chen Lansheng alone. Anyway, Chen Lansheng had such a big thing, Xuan Yuan did not believe that Prime Minister Xie would suddenly betroth Xie Tian to Chen Lansheng.

As for why Prime Minister Xie had such doubts? There have always been many rumors about demons and ghosts in Daning. However, the spring examination was cheated by someone because of the demons. If this matter was known to everyone, it would probably cause panic among everyone. Therefore, this matter was kept secret. It was only said that Chen Lansheng cheated, but no specific cheating method was given.

"Fortunately, his cheating in the imperial examination was exposed. Otherwise, if he was really chosen as Tian'er's husband, wouldn't it ruin Tian'er's life?" Mrs. Xie stroked her chest and said with a look of relief, "Originally, I only thought that this man came from a poor family and was able to pass the imperial examination because he was talented and hardworking, and he was a good match for Tian'er. I didn't know that he was actually a swindler." After Mrs. Xie's reminder, Prime Minister Xie also remembered that he had previously listed Chen Lansheng as a candidate for son-in-law and asked Xie Zhan to investigate. He couldn't help but turn cold and no longer gentle and elegant: "This despicable villain , how can he be worthy of Tian'er? Fortunately, this matter has never been told to outsiders, and it should not be spread in the future, so it is better to pretend that this matter has never happened. "

Prime Minister Xie felt that he was probably old and dim, so he had not noticed Chen Lansheng's true face before, and thought he was a good talent, so he had the idea of ​​recruiting him as a son-in-law. He stroked his beautiful beard, sighed lightly, looked at Xuanyuan and asked: "Chen Lansheng cannot be a son-in-law, what about the other two? Zhan'er, have you examined them? "

"None of them are good matches." Putting down the teacup, Xuanyuan looked up at Prime Minister Xie, his words were concise and his tone was cold. Prime Minister Xie and Madam Xie sighed together, their worries were beyond words. Madam Xie frowned slightly, worried and sad: "What can we do? Tian'er is not young anymore. If she continues like this, will she have to stay alone in her boudoir and live in seclusion in the embroidery building for the rest of her life? How can I bear it? How can I bear it? She is my beloved daughter!"

Daning has had noble ladies in the same situation as Xie Tian over the years, whose husbands died before they got married. However, the final fate of these girls was either to marry into the family of their husbands who died early at the age of 15, marry a tablet and become a widow, or to become a monk and live a life of seclusion.

The best situation is that they are loved by their parents and can live at home. They are still the ladies and girls of the family. They are loved by their parents at home and are still noble ladies of the family. Although they live in seclusion, it is better than being a widow in their husband's family, or living a life of seclusion.

However, these noble girls have more than one daughter in their families. When her sister or niece is about to get engaged, others will think of their family as having an unmarried girl, and there are rumors and slanders, which makes it difficult for the younger daughters of this family to get engaged and suffer twists and turns. Under such circumstances, no one knows what the situation of the boudoir girls living in seclusion in the mansion is.

It can be said that from the fact that Prime Minister Xie and Madam Xie are willing to risk great disapproval to marry a poor boy just to give Xie Tian a bright future, it can be seen that they really love their daughter and are really considering Xie Tian, ​​rather than for the reputation and status of the noble family. This is already precious. However, as Xie Tian said, the way they treat her well is not what she wants.

"If mother really loves my sister and only wishes her a healthy and happy life, you might as well ask her in person what she thinks." Seeing that Mrs. Xie's face was as pale as paper and she looked like she was about to faint, Xuan Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly and said in a deep voice, "Only you know whether your life is happy or not, just like a person knows whether the water is hot or cold after drinking it."

He looked at Prime Minister Xie and Madam Xie and said in a deep voice: "Impose our ideas on Tian'er and make decisions for her without asking her what she wants. In this way, will she really feel happy and have a happy life in the future? Such behavior is just self-righteously treating her well, but it doesn't think of the point at all."

"Zhan'er!" Prime Minister Xie, who has always been gentle and elegant, shouted in a rare harsh voice, stopping Xuanyuan from continuing to speak. He shook Madam Xie's hand, patted her twice to comfort her, and then turned to frown and question Xuanyuan, "Are you dissatisfied with me and your mother? Why don't you apologize quickly? What you said just now hurt your mother's heart."

Madam Xie shook her head at this time and interrupted Prime Minister Xie: "No--" She closed her eyes, and the expression on her face was The worry and pain disappeared, she looked at Xuanyuan, and said with a gentle but firm expression, "Zhan'er is right!"

She smiled bitterly, with a lot of helplessness and pity: "We thought we were doing Tian'er good, and would rather marry with a poor family to choose a husband for her. But Master, tell me yourself, which of the three people you chose is a good match for Tian'er? If she really marries them, will Tian'er really be happy and live happier than when she was in the mansion?"

"Regarding Tian'er's affairs, I will ask her what she thinks in her heart. In any case, I only have this one daughter, and I think about it in a thousand ways, and I just hope that she lives a good life." Mrs. Xie looked weak, but she was able to control the backyard of the Xie Mansion for many years, not just relying on Prime Minister Xie's dodder, but also knowing how to make choices and judgments.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie had already softened, and obviously would not use her own ideas to speculate on Xie Tian's thoughts and arrange things for her that she did not want to do, Xuanyuan could not help but nod secretly. As long as Mrs. Xie no longer held the idea of ​​finding a husband for Xie Tian, ​​it would not be difficult for Xie Tian to live the life she liked.

This matter was temporarily resolved, and Xuanyuan said again: "I have some things to do outside the house, and I may not be back for a few days." But when Prime Minister Xie and Mrs. Xie asked what it was, Xuanyuan kept silent again, just saying that this matter was not important and they did not need to worry about it.

The next morning, after Xuanyuan finished practicing sword in the bamboo forest, he said goodbye to the three people of the Xie family, did not bring a servant, only brought luggage, led Xie Zhan's good horse, and went directly out of the capital to Qishan. Although Chen Lansheng had been avenged, the monsters such as Xueying in Qishan might be innocent and ignorant, and were misled by Chen Lansheng, but this did not mean that they had no sins at all.

Ignorance is not a reason or excuse for not being punished for making a mistake. A mistake is a mistake, and a debt is a debt. This cannot be avoided by any excuse or reason. If ignorance can kill someone without being punished, then Xuanyuan will also say that he is "ignorant" and does not know the severity of the matter. If so, he will not be wrong to catch all the monsters and ghosts in Qishan, and he should not be punished.

Qishan is a deep mountain in Lanzhou. It is poor and bad. There are only a few households and a village nearby. It is sparsely populated and very remote and desolate. Chen Lansheng's home is at the foot of Qishan Mountain in Lanzhou. Because his family is poor, he went into the mountain to collect herbs because of his life. Ordinary people dare not enter Qishan.

Because it is said that there are man-eating monsters in Qishan. If you rashly enter the mountain, you will be trapped in the mountain for a few days and then be released, but if you are unlucky, you may be buried in the mountains and become food for monsters or beasts.

Rumors may not be groundless, but no matter what the truth is, these legends have been spread for a long time, and over time no one dared to go deep into Qishan. In recent years, except for Chen Lansheng, the villagers near Qishan knew that there were many medicinal treasures in the deep mountains, but they did not dare to go into the mountains to pick them.

On this day, a warm and elegant, handsome and handsome young man in white suddenly came to the small village at the foot of Qishan Mountain, which has always been remote and desolate, and basically no outsiders passed by. This young man in white came on a horse, handsome and extraordinary, with a temperament that made people fall in love with him.

For this sudden guest, the villagers in this small village with a total population of only a hundred people did not dare to approach easily. They felt that under this person's demeanor, they had been compared to sparrows in the field. They didn't even dare to come forward to talk, for fear that getting close would displease the guest, and they only dared to look at him from a distance.

Xuanyuan didn't care about the reactions of these people. He just planned to find someone to help him watch the horse in his hand, and then he would go to Qishan alone.
