Chapter 788 Demonic Qi
After going through the bitter summer, Chen Xin felt a sense of relief when he finally wanted to see the real chapter on the Qiu Wei court, but he couldn't help but start to get nervous. There are only a handful of them. In order to stabilize his mentality, Liu Funeng often told him that it is good to be able to win the lift. If not, it is not bad as a test.

But how many trials can his family afford?
Before parting, Mother Chen made a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for him to take with him on the road. She didn't know the allusion to the toad palace. She just heard people say that if you eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes before taking the exam, you will definitely be able to go to high school.In order to retain the flavor of sweet-scented osmanthus, she specially bought some honey that she was reluctant to part with and mixed it with it, carefully wrapped it and stuffed it in his arms.

Chen Xin took the things and solemnly swore to Chen's mother: "I will definitely raise people in high school and come back to honor my ancestors."

Sister-in-law Chen's temperament has changed a lot since Chen A just left, she knocked on the melon seeds and said, "Second brother, it's best to go to high school, don't be like some people in the village who stay at home and be talented all their lives."

Chen's mother looked at Mrs. Chen dissatisfied: "The second child is so good at studying, high school will be a problem sooner or later, you should not be crowed, and be careful when the boss comes back, I will let him divorce you."

"Hmph, people don't know where they died."

Mrs. Chen threw melon seeds and turned around and entered the room. Chen Xin's face darkened. He could remember everyone's contempt for him. When he was in high school, he wanted to see if these people would Like Su Qin's wife and sister-in-law, she is arrogant and respectful.

When Chen Xin was sent out of the village, he saw Li Xiruo and Li Tian pulling a cart full of leather goods, waiting not far away, but to his surprise, Lin Shang was also there.

Since what happened last time, Lin Shang has been pleasing to Chen Xin a lot. Of course, Mr. Lin Ge has always mentioned Chen Xin's excellent character and learning. He also dropped by Chen Xin on his trip this time, but he didn't Thinking of Li Xiruo actually going to Yizhou.

"Brother just happened to have a batch of leather goods to be sent to the Lu family in Yizhou. I heard that Mr. Chen is going to Yizhou to take part in the provincial examination in the past two days, so I thought about traveling together so that we can take care of each other."

Of course it is good to have a companion, Chen Xin smiled and nodded in agreement.

But listening to Li Xiruo's words, Lin Shang felt a little sour and said: "Mr. Chen is really lucky, to participate in a rural examination, and there is even a companion for the examination, and I will also take the academy examination, so it is not likely that someone will accompany me. "

Although Mr. Lin Ge hated officialdom and didn't want his descendants to be named officials, he valued his studies very much. This time Lin Shang took the college exam, and he didn't expect him to pass the exam, but it was just for his test. Let's see Have you been slacking off recently.

Li Xiruo couldn't help sneering: "Your Mr. Lin wants someone to accompany you, and the entire Lin family will follow you. I'm afraid the academy won't even have a place to stand by then."

Lin Shang heard Li Xiruo teasing him, pretending to be angry but couldn't help laughing, Chen Xin couldn't help but feel a little dazzling when he saw Lin Shang's smile, such a good opportunity to enter the academy, these humble scholars broke The head wants to go in, but the people who get it don't cherish it, the sky is really unfair, let the children of rich and noble families have the opportunity to take the exam again and again, but they are extremely harsh on them, every time they take the exam, every time in the exam room The choice is related to their whole life.

"Miss Li, it's getting late, we should go."

Li Xiruo turned around, seeing Chen Xin's complexion, he went up to say a few words of concern, Lin Shang looked at it and curled his lips.Li Xiruo and Chen Xin sat at the rear of the leather carriage and said goodbye to Lin Shang.

The three of them hurried to the outside of Yizhou City. Chen Xin looked around, a little dazed. He lived in the village since he was a child, and the number of times he went to the city can be counted on the fingers. A little unaccustomed,
The three of them asked several inns, probably because they were rushing for the exam, they were all full of customers. Chen Xin and Li Xiruo stepped out of the inn, just about to find another place to stay, when Li Xiruo saw a sneaky bag thief with sharp eyes. Sui stood behind the man who looked like a scholar, and stretched his hand towards his waist. Before the man could react, the money bag had already fallen into the hands of the thief.

Chen Xin followed Li Xiruo's eyes, just happened to see this scene, and immediately shouted to remind the scholar: "Be careful of the purse!"

The man was stunned for a while, only to realize that Chen Xin was looking at him. He touched his waist and found that the thief was already several feet away. He was anxious to chase forward, but these people are well-trained in stealing money. Where can a frail scholar catch up.

However, a long arrow shot out suddenly and landed at the thief's feet. The little thief was frightened by the sudden cold arrow. , I saw Li Xiruo put down his bow and walked down from a high place.

Li Xiruo and Chen Xin walked up to the man, and the man bowed to thank him and said, "I'm Liu Yusheng, the girl is good at archery."

"It's just what's needed for a living."

Liu Yusheng saw Li Tian pulling the leather goods behind Li Xiruo, and immediately understood that they were hunters, and nodded clearly. Chen Xin watched the thief run away, and just wanted to chase him out, but Li Xiruo stopped him: " You still have to take the exam, one thing more is worse than one thing less.”

Liu Yusheng heard that Chen Xin was also here for the exam, and immediately felt that he had met someone of the same kind: "It turns out that brother is also here to take the exam, but I don't know his name? Where is his hometown? How old is he?"

After his series of questions, Chen Xin looked a little uncomfortable. If he didn't know, he thought he was interrogating someone.

Liu Yusheng also felt that he was offended, so he quickly apologized.Chen Xin saw that he was just straightforward and had no malice, and told the truth, only then did he realize that they were not far apart, Chen Xin was in Peixian County, and Liu Yusheng was in Rongxian County, which was next to Peixian County.

Liu Yusheng thought it was fate, so he invited Chen Xin to live with him in the inn where he was staying. There were still a few vacant buildings there.

Chen Xin glanced at Li Xiruo, asking for her thoughts, Li Xiruo nodded without any objection.The fact that Li Tian sells fur goods was originally an excuse for them to come to accompany the exam. Of course, they lived where Chen Xin lived.

Liu Yusheng's eyes turned around Li Xiruo, and then looked at Chen Xin with an ambiguous expression. Chen Xin had seen too many such eyes, and before Liu Yusheng could say anything, he stopped and explained: "Miss Li is My fellow countryman, this time her brother came to Yizhou for business, so we walked together all the way, brother Liu must not say anything to ruin people's reputation."

Seeing Chen Xin's harsh words, Liu Yusheng nodded in understanding, and brought Chen Xin and the three to the inn.

Chen Xin walked to the desk of the inn. There was a price tag on the room. He took a breath. The inns in this city are really not cheap. Fortunately, he can still share a room with Li Tian, ​​which can save some money. .

He turned to Li Xiruo and said, "Why don't I share a room with Brother Li?"

Li Xiruo looked at Li Tian, ​​who was left with only a puppet body, and thought in his heart that if the senior brother regained his real body from boredom, and looked at Chen Xin lying beside him, he was afraid that he would be kicked down, so he shook his head and declined Said: "My elder brother is a rough man, and the delivery time is not stable, I'm afraid it will disturb the young master's rest."

Chen Xin pursed his lips. It is better to bother than to spend money. He just wanted to persuade Li Xiruo to change his mind, but Liu Yusheng grabbed his shoulder: "This is just right, you and I live in the same room. Can have a long conversation."

Chen Xin looked at Li Tian, ​​who was expressionless behind Li Xiruo, and thought that was the only way to go, so he paid the money, and just about to go upstairs, he saw a person running out of a wing in a panic and going down the stairs. Sometimes it's not necessary to go, it's just rolling down.

The innkeeper saw him and hurriedly supported him: "Guest, you should be careful, if you break yourself, our shop won't be able to compensate you."

"Pay, what money to pay, there are dead people in your inn."

When he shouted, there was a sudden shock, all the people who were eating and staying in the inn stood up and looked at the innkeeper in surprise.

The innkeeper also panicked and grabbed the guest: "Don't talk nonsense."

"You'll know if you go upstairs and have a look yourself."

The innkeeper asked Xiao Er to catch the man, and went upstairs to inquire about it. When he came out, his face was pale and his lips were trembling. After a while, he directed the man to report to the police.

Liu Yusheng murmured how it was unlucky to encounter such a thing when he first came here. Chen Xin was also worried when he heard it. He had never experienced such a big case, and it happened in the early stage of the exam. It made him a little upset.

There are also a lot of people staying in this inn and they are very courageous, so they want to go upstairs to see what's going on. The inn has already become a mess, and there will be no one to take care of the corpse. Li Xiruo also took advantage of the chaos and followed. , When Chen Xin came back to his senses, he realized that Li Xiruo was no longer around him.

The room where the corpse was lying was already crowded with curious people. If Li Xi managed to squeeze in, he could smell an unusual smell in the room. It was not a human smell, but a demon.

And this monster didn't stay here for a short time, but stayed here for a long time.Her eyes gradually shifted to the person lying on the ground. Although he was lifeless, the demonic aura on his body had not dissipated.

Li Xiruo frowned and stepped forward to check. This man had a knife stuck in his chest, and his eyes widened when he died, which seemed a little unbelievable.If it was done by a monster, they wouldn't use these ordinary methods to kill people, but why is there all the breath of a monster in this room.

She wanted to go in a little further to see if there were any clues, but the officers and soldiers who ran up yelled, "What are you doing? This is the place where the crime happened. No one else is allowed to enter!"

"I'm sorry, sir, this is the younger sister of the family. She usually spoils her temper. She is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but now the dead dare to be curious."

As Chen Xin talked, he pulled Li Xiruo out, and the leader of the government office, Feng Yan, looked at the two of them with probing eyes, and after a long time, he let go of his doubts, and asked the remaining government officials to clean up the people in the outer circle to make room for the assistant. .

Chen Xin dragged Li Xiruo down the stairs, and said in a reproachful tone: "The girl is too courageous, what if the yamen just now suspects you?"

Li Xiruo smiled perfunctorily, she didn't care about this case, what she cared about now was how the evil spirit in the room came from.
