Marquis Xuanping opened the box and flipped through every exam paper. The names on the exam papers were sealed up, but he was still able to recognize Xiao Liulang’s handwriting. After all, he had read his articles many times in private.
He saw Xiao Liulang's exam paper.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang glanced at the exam paper, then looked at Marquis Xuanping and sneered, "Is there any problem?"
Marquis Xuanping took a deep look at Grand Preceptor Zhuang.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang said frankly, "If there is nothing wrong, these examination papers shall be sent to His Majesty now. His Majesty is still waiting to review them."
Marquis Xuanping put down the exam paper in his hand with brief hesitation, and his suspicious gaze stayed for a moment at Grand Preceptor Zhuang.
From beginning to end, Grand Preceptor Zhuang’s expression was aboveboard.
Marquis Xuanping finally let Minister Li go, and he stepped out of the palace. contemporary romance
Looking at his figure departing in vain, Grand Preceptor Zhuang smiled coldly.
He knew this would happen, so he had already been on guard against Marquis Xuanping. Marquis Xuanping must have really believed he was looking at Xiao Liulang's exam paper, right? After all, the handwriting was exactly the same, and even the content was more or less similar, except that it had been modified in some key places.
But a boorish fellow like Marquis Xuanping wouldn’t be able to tell.
Don’t underestimate these small details, they were enough to enrage the Emperor.
Anyway, what was the use of being in the top twenty?
He feared Xiao Liulang wouldn’t be able to become a second-class Jinshi!
Grand Preceptor Zhuang walked out of the palace proudly.
His carriage was waiting for him at the entrance of the palace. When the servant saw him coming, he lifted the curtain for him. He was in a good mood and got into the carriage with a smile.
But never did he expect that a man was already sitting within his carriage!
Grand Preceptor Zhuang was given a fright and trembled all over, "Marquis Xuanping?!”
What was his coachman doing? Why did he let Marquis Xuanping get on the carriage?
"Somebody!" He shouted loudly.
Marquis Xuanping spoke quietly, "Go."
The carriage left.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang's face turned white. He lifted the curtain to see the coachman in the front seat, only to realize that the one driving the carriage wasn’t his coachman at all.
Where was his coachman?
Where did he go?
His carriage had been parked at the entrance of the palace, which was guarded by the imperial guards. How on earth did Marquis Xuanping replace his coachman?
Grand Preceptor Zhuang looked furiously at the opposite person, "Marquis Xuanping, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Marquis Xuanping sneered, "Put back Xiao Liulang's exam paper, otherwise, your horse will get frightened, and this Marquis can't guarantee that you will land safely. After all, you don’t know martial arts, do you?"
Grand Preceptor Zhuang was severely stunned, "You..."
Marquis Xuanping said, "You want to ask how did this Marquis find out? This Marquis didn’t find anything in the exam paper, but this Marquis still understands you, Grand Preceptor Zhuang."
Grand Preceptor Zhuang felt choked and looked livid. Marquis Xuanping's arrogance often made people think he was just a rash man, but look at what he did today!
Grand Preceptor Zhuang gritted his teeth, "How dare you!"
Marquis Xuanping: "Right back at you."
Grand Preceptor Zhuang snorted coldly, "Do you... Do you think this can threaten this official?"
Marquis Xuanping: "It isn’t a threat. This Marquis is just giving you a suggestion. Since you don't want it, then this Marquis has another gift for you."
Grand Preceptor Zhuang's heart welled up with an ominous premonition.
The carriage came to a stop and was parked on an empty public road, and yet there were no pedestrians coming and going, except a carriage parked opposite them.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang opened up the carriage curtain, and someone in the opposite carriage also lifted the curtain open, revealing An Junwang, who was tied up and gagged with cloth.
An Junwang looked agitatedly at Grand Preceptor Zhuang, but with his mouth gagged, he couldn't speak any coherent sentence and only let out muffled sounds.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang was greatly taken aback and nearly dropped his jaw, simply unable to believe Marquis Xuanping's audacity.
They came out of the palace almost one after the other. Marquis Xuanping didn't have time to catch anyone after checking the exam papers, in other words, before checking the exam papers, Marquis Xuanping was sure that he wouldn’t find anything in Xiao Liulang's exam paper, and arrested An Junwang long before that!
"Do you know what you are doing? You didn’t just seize a member of the imperial court, you even kidnapped a Junwang of the State of Zhao!"
Marquis Xuanping leaned lightly on the back of the chair, looking at him calm and unruffled, "So?"
There wasn’t the slightest fear in his eyes.
Just like an arrogant wild horse that might trample everything at any time.
In fact, Grand Preceptor Zhuang didn’t make sense here. The thing he did and the thing Marquis Xuanping was doing, they were both crimes that warranted beheading. It was all about who could remain standing to the end.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang clenched his fists and glared at Marquis Xuanping.
Marquis Xuanping said casually, "I don't have much patience, so I'll tell you one last time, put the exam paper back."
From the beginning till now, Grand Preceptor Zhuang never admitted that he had touched Xiao Liulang’s exam paper, but it didn't seem to affect Marquis Xuanping and prevent him from making threats at him. Grand Preceptor Zhuang felt like a scholar who bumped into an unreasonable soldier, he was simply like talking to a wall.
If the other party was a scholar, he could still roll the other party about in the palm of his hand.
But against Marquis Xuanping, that was impossible.
He never gave him a chance to speak in a roundabout way.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang felt a deep sense of powerlessness, but he didn't throw in the towel so quickly, "Marquis Xuanping, don't be too arrogant!"
Marquis Xuanping looked at Grand Preceptor Zhuang and faintly raised his finger.
In the other carriage, Chang Jing pulled out his dagger and stabbed An Junwang in the thigh without hesitation.
Blood gushed out. An Junwang clenched his teeth, but a mournful groan still escaped his teeth.
Grand Preceptor Zhuang flew into a rage, "Heng’er!"
Marquis Xuanping leaned lazily against the carriage wall, raised his eyebrow and said, "Remember, this is arrogance."
Grand Preceptor Zhuang trembled with rage, his whole person bursting with anger, "Aren't you afraid that you would truly take people’s lives? If my grandson dies, do you think you won't have to pay for his life?”
Marquis Xuanping smiled coldly, "Do you think I will be afraid?"
Grand Preceptor Zhuang was simply stumped for words.
