Chapter 696 The Imperial Examination List (1)

"Yes." The leader guard said again, "Now there are many people waiting for the city gate to open the city, and many imperial examination candidates from all over the country."

Chu Suiliang, Shangguan Yi, and Xu Jingzong are the three nobles today. It is rumored that the three nobles in the court are talking about Gu Qing and Chu Suiliang.

The list will be announced tomorrow. When the city gate opens tomorrow, a large group of people will surely pour into Chang'an. Not to mention arresting people, it will be difficult to even follow. Leading the military guards, left and right military guards will all be dispatched. Di Renjie came to the city gate and found that the largest southern gate guarding was Xue Rengui and Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo stood at the city gate, paced back and forth and saw a group of people coming and wondering.

Di Renjie hurried to the city gate and spoke loudly: "Dali Temple handles the case!"

Cheng Chumo was surprised at what case was being handled in Dali Temple at night. He couldn't see clearly when the fog came. He waited until the other party approached before he saw clearly, "Di Renjie?"

"Brother Chumo!" Di Renjie stepped forward.

"So it's you boy." Cheng Chumo said lazily, stretching his waist, "What are you here to do?"

"We need to catch someone." Di Renjie said in annoyance, "But now we just know that people are in Chang'an and don't know where they are. We are afraid that when the crowds move, we will not be able to keep an eye on them."

"I understand." Cheng Chumo said, "You kid, I want to check the people entering and leaving when I open the city gate, right? So that others will not take advantage of the situation."

"Yes! That's it." Di Renjie nodded.

"This matter is not easy to deal with." Cheng Chumo was embarrassed, "You go up to the city and take a look."

Di Renjie followed Cheng Chumo to the city, and saw a crowd of people outside the city, dense torches, and many people gathered in the distance. Cheng Chumo sighed and scratched his head and said, "Look, what should I do about this matter? If I investigate one by one, I am afraid there will be chaos. How long will it take to investigate?"

"I have a way." Di Renjie said, "You can go into the city gate and out of the city gate, enter the south gate and exit the east and west gates. We just need to seize the opening that leaves the city, so that Brother Mo will be under much less pressure to guard the city."

"A good idea, it's better that you're awake." Cheng Chumo smiled suddenly and shouted at Xue Rengui, who was gnawing on the cake under the city, "Brother Xue, call the other three soldiers in the city gate, and call the Minister of War and the General General Su Dingfang, too."

"Yes!" Xue Rengui swallowed the naan bread whole and stuffed it into his mouth while eating it, instructing the soldiers to act immediately.

Pei Xingjian, Su Dingfang and the generals from various city gates gathered together, and everyone was sleepy at midnight.

Cheng Chumo sent a bowl of noodle soup as a midnight snack. Su Dingfang sucked in and asked, "Tell me, what should we do with such a big battle?"

Cheng Chumo pointed at Di Renjie, and everyone also looked at Di Renjie.

"Everyone." Di Renjie stood up and said, "It's really a matter of disturbing late at night. I'm really sorry. This matter is related to the recent case investigated by Dali Temple. You must know about the matter of Duke of Ju, Tang Jian. Now Tang Jian is in Dali Temple and cannot go out. Although he did not admit that Tang Jian was arson, someone did want to murder Duke of Ju, and even hijacked the family of Duke of Ju."

Cheng Chumo interrupted and said, "Although this Tang Jian is not in a relationship with the Supreme Emperor, it is said that he has a close relationship with the original Emperor Gaozu. After all, he is a Duke of a country. How can he tolerate others being presumptuous? The Duke of the Tang Dynasty is not easy to bully."

Everyone knows that the old man in Cheng Chumo's family is a Duke, so they must empathize with it.

"What do you want us to do?" Su Dingfang asked. No matter what the matter is, Di Renjie is Gu Qing's disciple and he must help. As long as the public and private matters are not ruined tomorrow's major events, he can help.

"I understand your pressure." Di Renjie said, "Let me tell you what you have to think. Tomorrow, there will be many people going to enter the city, and the curfew will be lifted soon. There is already a sea of ​​people outside the city. Whenever you enter and exit, it will be a mess. So the boy thought that he would leave one city gate and only leave two city gates to let those outside come in. The manpower in Dali Temple would guard the exit from the city."

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian nodded, "This way, it can reduce the pressure on the guards of Chang'an City Gate, and it is convenient for Dali Temple to investigate the case."

"This method is OK." Su Dingfang nodded and looked back at the generals, "What do you think?"

"We are willing to listen to the commander-in-chief." The generals knelt on one knee.

"Okay." Su Dingfang stood up and said, "The southeast gate is the entrance, and the west gate is the exit. Immediately post a notice. The order of each gate must be maintained. Anyone who commits rebellion must take it down immediately."

"yes!"

As the matter was arranged, Di Renjie walked out of the city tower, the fog still did not dissipate, and there was a white slumber in the sky, and the sky was about to brighten up. Di Renjie was in a heavy mood. As long as that guy didn't leave the city, he would have another chance to catch him. The fat monk's secret line was dumped all the way. This character should be very alert.

Xue Rengui changed his defense to the Xicheng Gate, and Di Renjie and Dali Temple also came here. There should not be many people leaving the city. There were also people from Dali Temple following the intersections of various streets in Chang'an. As soon as the person appeared, he would take it down immediately.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie was still very confused. Why did the other party stay in Chang'an and wait for us to show his strength and be caught, or was he confident that he would not be caught in Chang'an, or was he still planning something?

The fog was still very strong, and even if the sunlight appeared, there was no intention of retreating. The city gate opened, and the people who had been waiting outside the city gate had entered the city one after another. Di Renjie watched the pawns and peddlers leave the city with a tense expression and did not miss a single detail. Even though he had not slept for a day and a night, he was energetic.

Gu Village, Gu Qing opened the window and found that it was covered in white. He walked downstairs to prepare for breakfast. When he saw Li Zhi, he was already eating it.

"His Highness King Jin is eating slowly." Gu Qing casually peeled a boiled egg for himself.

"Today is the day to announce the imperial examination." Li Zhi said.

"Is that related to His Royal Highness King Jin having breakfast?" Gu Qing said again, "Eat slowly and don't choke. The Hai Trade business has just come to an end and don't have to be so rushing, there's still time."

Fan Jian walked in small steps and said, "A guy came to see the head of the family."

"Who?" Gu Qing took a sip of tofu.

"He didn't say who he was, he said the head of the family called him a short man."

"I understand." Gu Qing was still eating breakfast slowly, "You arrange him in the front yard, and I will go to see him in a while."

"knew."
