Chapter 239 Threat (four thousand words chapter!)

"What? Xu Xian cheated?" Chen Lun was shocked and couldn't help but scream.

He originally thought that the Liang Palace invited him to the banquet for Liang Lian to take the imperial examination, so he wanted him to help him walk through the back door. But he didn't know that Prince Liang didn't mean that at all, and actually wanted him to help frame Xu Xian!

"This matter must not be done!" Chen Lun did not think much and quickly refused in a deep voice.

If it were other things, he could find a way to "stubbornly disobey" afterwards. However, he asked him to frame Xu Xian, but he refused without thinking.

"Why not?" Prince Liang was not in a hurry, as if he had guessed that Chen Lun would have this reaction long ago.

Chen Lun said in a deep voice: "I believe that Prince Liang also knows Xu Xian. He is a world-famous talented man. Last year, he won the first place in the Jiangnan Talent Conference and is recognized as the "No. 1 Talent Man in Jiangnan". Such a talented man, even if he takes the imperial examination, it is easy to pass the Jinshi exam. Now he is just taking the provincial examination, how can he cheat? This is too unreasonable, and no one believes it if he says it!"

"To be honest, Xu Xian participated in the provincial examination. Many people were watching Yingtian Prefecture, the capital was in Yingtian Prefecture, and they even asked me to bring me a message, saying that after the results of the provincial examination came out, I asked me to copy Xu Xian's test paper and send it to the capital!"

"So, it's impossible to frame Xu Xian for cheating in the exam."

Chen Lun is not so stupid. He will do whatever Prince Liang asks him to do.

Not to mention that he originally admired Xu Xian very much, he admired many of Xu Xian's poems. He was unwilling to kill such a good seedling and future pillars of the country.

Secondly, Xu Xian’s current identity is actually not something he can slander at will, as a prefect. If he agrees to Prince Liang, it is equivalent to being trapped in a party dispute and standing on the side of the “appeaser”, he will inevitably offend the “war pro-sect”.

So even if you offend Prince Liang today, Chen Lun would never agree.

The Liang Palace was still not in a hurry, and was very calm. He drank a glass of wine on his own. After listening to Chen Lun's statement, he said, "I know that Xu Xian is talented. But talent and cheating are not completely conflicting. Master Chen, you are the chief examiner. You can inspect the examination room at will when invigilating the examination. At that time, a note will be found in Xu Xian's examination room. Who can say anything?"

"Isn't Li Pan the first talented man in Jiangnan at that time? But he was eventually stripped of his fame and fortune and could not take the imperial examination for his whole life. Isn't the charge also cheating in the imperial examination?"

"So, whether Xu Xian cheated or not depends entirely on you, Magistrate Chen!"

Chen Lun glared and said angrily: "How can this be the same! Li Pan was stripped of his fame and fortune. What is the main reason? Prince Liang, don't you know? That's because his identity was exposed, which caused shock to the court and the public. The so-called cheating in the exam room is just a crime! But what about Xu Xian? Xu Xian has no special identity!"

Chen Lun was very angry. Prince Liang's words were completely like treating him as a fool and trying to deceive him.

Do you think he didn't know about the "Li Pan incident" that caused a sensation in the government and the people?

The real reason why Li Pan has his current situation is that he cheated in the exam room. It is simply that his identity as the dragon clan is destined to be highly valued by the court, so he just a charge of it.

"No matter what hidden information was in the Li Pan incident, it was finally made public. Isn't the reason that the world knows is that he cheated in the exam?" Prince Liang said with a smile: "The world is always ignorant. As long as we tell them, they have to believe. You said that Xu Xian cheated. Will anyone suspect that it was Mr. Chen who framed Xu Xian?"

Chen Lun sneered: "People may be ignorant, but the court and Your Majesty are not ignorant! Will Your Majesty believe that a talented man like Xu Xian cheated in the provincial examination?"

Prince Liang waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the court and your majesty. Just do it boldly. If the court and your majesty want to investigate this matter thoroughly, I will take care of you if there is anything!"

"This..." Chen Lun's face was gloomy.

He did not expect that Prince Liang would be so lawless and act recklessly, and he completely ignored the punishment of the court and His Majesty.

"What's wrong?" Prince Liang looked at Chen Lun with a smile.

Chen Lun was full of entanglement, frowned and thought for a while, and finally stood up and bowed and said, "I am sorry that the official is powerless in this matter, so I can't do this! Prince, please ask someone else for a clever!"

After saying that, Chen Lun was about to turn around and leave.

Bang!

Prince Liang, who had always been very kind and enthusiastic, slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "Chen Lun, don't toast or not eat the punishment!"

Chen Lun smiled bitterly, but he was still unshakable and prepared to leave.

Prince Liang's face became even more gloomy and his voice became even more sharp. He threatened: "Chen Lun, if you dare to go against my wishes, believe it or not, I will take off the black hat on your head within a month!"

"And, even if you, Chen Lun, are you not caring about life and death, don't you care about your wife? You just said that your wife is about to give birth. Don't you think about her and her upcoming child?"

At the end, Prince Liang's words were filled with gloomy smell.

If Chen Lun does not agree to him, he will not only make Chen Lun lose his official position, but also make it difficult for his wife and the soon-to-be-born child to live!

Chen Lun widened his eyes when he heard this, his forehead was exposed, his fists were clenched tightly, and his clenched sounded.

But he had to admit that Prince Liang did have this ability.

If I offended him, I would never be able to bear his revenge!

...

...

Because of his confidence, Xu Xian and his party lived a very comfortable life after arriving at Suzhou Prefecture.

I tasted a lot of food and enjoyed a lot of beautiful scenery.

Although Hangzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are both Jiangnan water towns and have the reputation of "there is paradise above and the Suzhou Prefecture below", the scenery of the two places is still very different. For example, the gardens of Suzhou Prefecture are rare in Hangzhou Prefecture.

On this day, Xu Xian did not take Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing to visit the scenery, but instead experienced the prosperous and prosperous Suzhou City streets in the downtown area of ​​Suzhou and went shopping. Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were both happy to agree.

Whether it is this life or the earth in the past life, whether it is an ordinary woman or a person who wants Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing cannot get rid of the nature of women who love shopping.

"Sister, sister, come and see, the rouge and jewelry here are very good..." Xiaoqing jumped all the way, walked to the stall set up by an old woman and shouted loudly.

"Official, let's go and take a look." Bai Suzhen said with a smile.

Xu Xian nodded, and the two walked over. Bai Suzhen carefully selected something, and there was something that was really satisfactory. She held a box of rouge and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this box of rouge?"

"Oh, this beautiful girl is really good at knowing the goods. This box of rouge is a top-quality product made in a century-old store in Suzhou City! But the price is not cheap." The old woman said with a smile.

Although Bai Suzhen is virtuous, she is not stingy and conservative in buying things with her status. She smiled and said, "If it is really a top-notch product, the price doesn't matter. Just offer a price for the boss."

"Okay, okay." The boss's wife suddenly smiled even happier. She saw that these two beautiful girls must not be ordinary people, so she said, "This box of rouge costs three taels of silver."

Xiaoqing lived in the secular world longer and had a more concept of money. She said in surprise: "Ah? You need a few taels of silver! Do you think we are the suckers and knock on our door?"

The old woman shook her head and said, "You're not right, this girl. My old woman is really good at doing business, and she is innocent." After saying that, she was not angry. Instead, she looked at the two of them carefully and exclaimed, "Actually, you two girls don't have to buy such expensive rouge powder at all."

Xiaoqing was a little angry again and asked, "Why, do you think we can't afford it?"

The old woman shook her head quickly and explained: "Miss, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that you two girls are so beautiful that they are the most beautiful women the old woman has ever seen in her life. Even if she doesn't wear makeup, she will still be beautiful!"

This is true.

After Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen's cultivation reached this point, their skin was naturally white and red, and it was many times more beautiful than that of ordinary women who put on makeup. They were truly "natural beauty is hard to give up".

Xiaoqing was naturally very happy because she was praised for her beautiful appearance and her clever praise technique. Her chin couldn't help but rise slightly, and she was very happy.

"But..." The old woman changed her mind.

"But what?" Xiaoqing asked.

Xu Xian saw the passing by, and couldn't help but smile and interrupted, "But, if you apply the high-quality rouge powder refined by the boss lady, you, the old white niece shop in Suzhou, it would be even more beautiful. Isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The boss's wife nodded quickly, "That's what I mean."

Xu Xian nodded with a smile, took two boxes of rouge, and said to Bai Suzhen: "Madam, you and Xiaoqing will only take one box each."

Although Bai Suzhen usually doesn’t apply makeup, sometimes women wear makeup and sometimes Bai Suzhen will also apply some rouge occasionally.

"Come on, boss, this is six taels of silver, you can pack it." Xu Xian took out the silver.

Of course, men have to pay for women when shopping.

This not only will men have a sense of accomplishment, but women will also have a sense of happiness.

"Young master is so happy. No wonder you marry such a beautiful wife. You are so lucky!" The old woman quickly collected the money and packed a rouge box. At the same time, she also looked up at Bai Suzhen and said, "This girl, your husband really loves you. You must be very happy together!"

Bai Suzhen was a little shy, but she looked at Xu Xian sweetly.

At this time, a noise suddenly came from the street.

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Go to the side!"

The two officers and soldiers looked hurried, followed by four sedan chairmen, carrying their little boys and rushing through the crowded crowds, quickly causing a riot in the crowd on the street, and the crowd was squeezed to the point of being tilted.

"Go away! Go away!"

If someone fails to dodge, they will be pushed by the officers and soldiers and fall to the ground without caring about it.

The Rouge stall was also on the street, and Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were naturally standing in the middle of the street. When Jiaozi quickly passed by, the two officers and soldiers who were opening the road in front also pushed Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen hard.

Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen didn't pay attention, and were accidentally pushed and staggered, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Xu Xian supported the two of them in time.

"Sister, are you okay?" Xiaoqing asked, then looked at the officers and soldiers carrying their sweet sons quickly, as if they were unwilling to give up.

Bai Suzhen quickly grabbed her and persuaded her, "Xiaoqing, forget it, nothing is wrong."

Xiaoqing was angry, and watched the few people rushing around, unreasonable, and people were pushed to the ground again and said angrily: "How can you do this? You can't do this!"

So regardless of Bai Suzhen's obstruction, he immediately pinched the magic trick in his hand and pointed at Jiaozi.

Swish!

Jiaozi was as if she was attacked by a tornado, and she was tilted around. Even if four strong sedan chairmen carried the sedan chair, they were still spinning in place and couldn't walk anymore, screaming in horror. Seeing this, the two officers and soldiers quickly turned around and wanted to stabilize Jiaozi, but they couldn't.

Seeing this, Xiaoqing smiled with satisfaction.

Bai Suzhen shook her head helplessly and blamed her: "Xiaoqing, you can't be so reckless. What if the person in the sedan fell down?"

Xiaoqing didn't care, and tilted her head and said, "Whoever asked them to sit in a sedan chair is so proud that they deserve it to be thrown down! Why don't they think about it when they push people?"

Xu Xian sighed in his heart.

This is the difference between Xiaoqing and Lady.

The lady's personality is indeed too kind, almost a real living Bodhisattva. Xiaoqing dares to love and hate, has clear grudges, and is a little petty.

At this time, the old woman selling rouge came over, looked at Jiaozi and said, "The two girls don't know that the wife is sitting in this sedan chair. She is rushing to deliver the baby to the prefect's wife!"

Xiaoqing curled her lips and said, "Even if the prefect's wife gave birth to a child, she can't carry her baby to hit someone."

The old woman shook her head and said, "Oh, the wife of the prefect has given birth for two days, but she still can't give birth. I heard that it is difficult to give birth and is in danger of life. The Wenpo in Suzhou City is helpless! The Wenpo in this sedan is probably invited from other places, so she is so anxious. Moreover, the prefect of our Suzhou Prefecture, Mr. Chen, is a good official who loves his name and is selfless. The people love him very much, and the officers and soldiers are not so anxious in normal times."

Xu Xian, who was not interested in it at first, was watching the fun next to him. When he heard the old woman say this, his eyebrows suddenly raised and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

"Hey, why do you feel that this plot is a bit familiar?"

"The magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture?"

"Chen Lun?"
