Chapter 1547 Different Destiny

"let me go!"

"What are you doing?"

"Who are you?"

"In broad daylight, in the open air, do you still have any law?"

Soon, two people who were tied for seventh place in the second class were "invited" over.

Emperor Wen glared at Han Jin and said, "Didn't I tell you to invite people? Why did you bring them here?"

Han Jin laughed dryly and replied, "Since the two scholars cannot be invited, I... can only bring them here..."

"Who are you?"

Li Guang glared at the people in the room, "I am a Jinshi, do you know what crime you are arresting me for?"

"Is it so great to be a Jinshi?"

Qin Liugan grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp white teeth: "Now when I go out, anyone I bump into could be a Jinshi! The cats and dogs on the street are rarer than Jinshi!"

"You are so brave!"

Li Guang's face turned cold, "How dare you say that Jinshi are not as good as cats and dogs?"

Qin Liugan was about to speak when Emperor Wen glared at him.

Qin Liu dared to shut up immediately, but gave Li Guang an unhappy look.

"Why do not you speak?"

Emperor Wen's gaze fell on Lu Jin.

Lu Jin looked Emperor Wen up and down and slowly replied, "The old man next to you is right. At this time, cats and dogs on the street are more rare than Jinshi! Besides, I never thought I could survive. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

"Don't, don't!"

Emperor Wen laughed and said, "We only want words, not lives!"

Lu Jin forced a smile and asked, "What does this gentleman want me to write?"

Emperor Wen laughed and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Why don't you two sit down for a while and wait for me to think about it. Then I'll ask you two to give me the characters?"

Lu Jin glanced at a few people and nodded calmly.

However, Li Guang was indignant: "If you ask for calligraphy sincerely, I will reward you with a piece of calligraphy, but you dare to treat me like this, I will never write a single word for you even if I die!"

"Fine!"

Emperor Wen smiled, "If that's the case, then I won't force it!"

As he spoke, Emperor Wen winked at Han Jin.

Han Jin understood and immediately took Li Guang out.

Li Guang went out, still cursing outside.

It was not until Han Jin glared at him fiercely that he left with a guilty conscience.

Emperor Wen ignored Lu Jin and continued to follow Qin Liu and look out the window.

Soon, the second-class results were reported.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Wen turned around and looked at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin stood there calmly, without fear or impatience.

"Stop standing, sit down!"

Emperor Wen smiled and raised his hand to signal.

Hearing this, Lu Jin slowly sat down and asked curiously, "What are you two looking at?"

"Of course I'm waiting to see the top scorer!"

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "We made a bet, betting whether the number one scholar will come from Deyi Tower, Chunfeng Tower or somewhere else."

Lu Jin was surprised, then shook his head and smiled, "Then you probably won't be able to wait for the top scholar here!"

"why?"

Qin Liu dared to ask curiously: "From what you said, it is impossible for the top scholar to come from Deyi Building or Chunfeng Building?"

"Correct!"

Lu Jin nodded and smiled, "I guess the top scholar is Lu Yizhou who lives in Yuelai Inn!"

Yue Lai Inn?

Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan looked at each other at the same time.

Isn’t Yuelai Inn an inn jointly opened by Zhang Xu and Lao Liu?

"Why did you say that?"

Emperor Wen asked enthusiastically.

Lu Jin looked them up and down and said, "I see that you two have extraordinary bearings. You must be high officials in the imperial city. You must know who opened the Yuelai Inn, right?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Emperor Wen smiled and said, "It is said that it was opened by the Sixth Prince and the grandson of Elder Zhang."

"Correct!"

Lu Jin nodded and smiled.

Emperor Wen lowered his brows and thought for a moment, then asked with a smile: "So, do you think that the Sixth Prince will select the tribute student who lives in Yuelai Inn as the top scholar, so as to make Yuelai Inn famous?"

"no no!"

Lu Jin shook his head repeatedly: "Your Highness the Sixth Prince definitely doesn't need to do this! I am familiar with Lu Yizhou. With his talent, it should not be difficult for him to win the top prize today! Including himself, he also thinks that the top prize belongs to him, so he wants to help Yuelai Inn to build a reputation."

That's it!

Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan looked at each other silently.

Lu Yizhou is indeed a smart man, but a little too smart.

He hadn't even won the top spot in the imperial examination yet, but he was already thinking of this.

"By the way, I see you're not afraid at all. Do you trust us, or are you really not afraid of death?"

At this time, Qin Liugan asked curiously again.

"Who is not afraid of death?"

Lu Jin shook his head. "But didn't His Highness Sixth Prince once say that everyone must die, and some people's death may be heavier than a mountain, while others may be lighter than a feather! If you die for a good cause, it's not scary! If you die for no reason, who wouldn't be afraid?"

Listening to Lu Jin's words, Emperor Wen and Qin Liugan smiled at each other again.

Isn’t this what that bastard Lao Liu said in the brothel in order to force Emperor Wen to let him go to Shuobei?

Unexpectedly, this news has spread now.

While they were talking, the person who brought the good news came to tell the winner the good news.

As the person who brought the good news walked into Deyi Building, cheers suddenly broke out in the building.

But at Chunfeng Tower, there was a sound of sighs.

After the third place, the second place comes.

Moreover, it happened in Deyi Building.

At this moment, the Deyi Building was in an uproar.

The shopkeeper of Deyi Tower generously took out fifty taels of silver as a gift for the good news, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

What would happen if the top scholar also came from Deyi Tower?

However, after everyone had been waiting for a long time, the person who came to announce the good news to the top scholar was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, a waiter hurried to Deyi Building and said, "Boss, the top scholar has been selected! It's Lu Yizhou who lives in Yuelai Inn!"

As the waiter's voice sounded, the shopkeeper's face suddenly showed deep disappointment.

The people who were originally looking forward to it also dispersed.

From time to time, people in the crowd sighed.

At this time, Han Jin also came in to report: "Master, the top scholar has been selected! I heard it is Lu Yizhou who lives in Yuelai Inn."

"Ha ha……"

Emperor Wen laughed when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Qin Liugan, "You lose!"

"I……"

Qin Liugan's face darkened, and he leaned over the window, cursing at the students from Chunfeng Tower and Deyi Tower: "What a bunch of idiots! There are so many people, but not one of them passed the exam and became the top scholar!"

Emperor Wen had a dark look on his face and kicked Qin Liugan directly on the butt.

This old man!

Can this be blamed on these tribute students?

Turning back, Emperor Wen looked at Lu Jin again: "You have good taste!"

"Expected."

Lu Jin shook his head and smiled, without any surprise on his face.

"So who do you think is more talented, you or this number one scholar?"

Emperor Wen asked with a smile on his face.

Lu Jin thought about it and replied: "It should be me!"

"Then why aren't you the top scholar?" Emperor Wen asked again.

Lu Jin was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jin smiled helplessly: "I can't answer your question, you may have to ask the court."
