Chapter 54
Just as the hand of the blue-armored guard was about to fall, a young man wearing a Confucian crown and a scholar's robe happened to come out of the city, and shouted "Stop!"

After the blue-armored guard turned his head to see the face of the person coming, he immediately put on a flattering posture, bowed his hands to the young man and said, "I have seen the prince!"

The so-called "Prince Prince" glanced at Mu Lian, who looked dirty and couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, then waved his hand casually and said, "It's just a poor man. What are you embarrassing with him? Let him go into town."

As soon as this person finished speaking, several youths in fresh clothes and angry horses who followed behind him spoke one after another.

"Brother Wang is still a bodhisattva, even for a little beggar."

"You guys, there is no one in Zhennan City who doesn't know Brother Wang's virtuous name, so why do you need to talk about it?"

All the teenagers laughed and fought together.

The blue-armored guard stared at him immediately, and scolded Mu Lian, "Didn't you hear what Mr. Wang said? Get out of here!"

Mu Lian didn't even look at the prince, she stretched out her right hand and squeezed it lightly, and the Lu Yin, which was put on the waist by the guard, was already in her hand.

I saw her take a step forward, glanced at the guard with both eyes, a red light flashed in her eyes, and said in a cold voice, "You should be lucky, I don't want to kill anyone today."

As soon as the voice fell, she lifted her foot and left.

The blue-armored guard who stayed in place was trapped in the killing intent just now, unable to wake up for a long time.

However, there was a young man on horseback who frowned and looked at Mu Lian's leaving figure, "This man is so rude. Brother Wang helped him and he didn't even say thank you!"

Another person drove forward, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's just a vulgar and ignorant commoner, don't care what he does. Let's go, Brother He and the others are still waiting for us at Shiliting outside the city!"

"makes sense."

This group of children from big families rode on horses and flew away, causing pedestrians on both sides of the road to eat a lot of ashes.

In Zhennan City, Mu Lian quickly found a decent inn to stay in.

The innkeeper didn't look down on her because she was slovenly dressed. He just looked at her carefully several times when he heard that the guest registered her gender as "female" and didn't say anything in the end.When Mu Lian washed herself, took care of herself, and went out dressed neatly, the innkeeper took a lot of effort to recognize her.

During the day, Zhennan Village is very bustling and bustling. There are shops on the street and jugglers on both sides of the road. Mu Lian finds that no matter where she goes, there are people everywhere.

She walked for a long time before she found the Zhennangong Courtyard on Pingjiang Street.

This tribute courtyard seems to have a very long history. Although the gold characters on the gilded plaque are as new, the painted paint on the carved door plaque has fallen off badly.The two big stone lions in front of the gate have experienced many years of baptism, and there have been many mottled holes and marks.

This is where she will take the exam the morning after tomorrow.

At this time, the door of the Tribute Court was wide open, and scholars in twos and threes came in and out here, obviously candidates who came to see their own examination room first like Mu Lian.

Mu Lian raised her legs and entered the Gongyuan. As soon as she entered, she saw a three-story building with carved beams and painted buildings standing in front of her eyes, with three large characters "Mingyuan Building" written on it.Passing through this building, there are rows of dormitories that can't be seen at a glance. The dormitories are surrounded by high walls on both sides, cutting off the possibility of someone throwing things into the street outside the Gongyuan.

The place where the students can watch goes all the way to the Feihong Bridge. There is a line of guards in black armor guarding the bridge, and no one is allowed to pass.Behind the bridge, buildings such as Hengjian Hall and Zhigong Hall can be seen faintly, where the examiners of the rural examinations are located.

After Mu Lian casually looked around here, she was about to leave.

Just before reaching the gate, a man came in with his head down.

Mu Lian didn't pay attention at first, just when she was about to pass by this man, the man suddenly took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Mu Lian.

However, how could such a sudden little action be hidden from her?
She immediately reached out to grab it, and pinched the man's wrist with a clasp.

The man suddenly raised his head, looked at Mu Lian, and grinned abruptly. In the next second, he used the thrust from Mu Lian's hand to insert the dagger deeply into his body, and blood gushed out from the stab wound.

The sudden change surprised Mu Lian, she immediately realized that this was a trap, someone was plotting to kill her!
Before she could speak, the man clutched his bleeding wound and staggered back, shouting loudly as he retreated, "I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me? Come on, kill me!" It's over! Help, someone is going to kill someone!"

The nearby students heard the sound and looked here, and they only saw the man clutching his bleeding abdomen, shouting for help with fear, and the person who stabbed him was obviously the man who was still bleeding from his hand. woman with a dagger.

The Black Armored Army stationed in the Gongyuan quickly arrived after hearing the news, and the group surrounded Mu Lian.

The general in charge of the Heijia army here looked at Mu Lian with a solemn face and said, "In broad daylight, the sky is bright, you dare to commit murder in a place like the Gongyuan, and say, who are you?"

Mu Lian shrugged and said, "If I said that I didn't hurt that person at all just now, it was he who wanted to kill me, but after being caught by me, he stabbed himself back, with the purpose of framing me for murder, you guys Do you believe it?"

The general of the Heijia Army glanced at the young man who had already passed out due to excessive blood loss, and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I'm a fool? Someone would stab himself so deep that he would sacrifice himself The price of life is to frame you?"

Mu Lian nodded seriously and said, "That's the truth."

She has a lot of enemies now, and to be honest, she doesn't even know who sent this young man.

The general of the Black Armored Army glanced at the group of scholars around him again, and asked, "Is there anyone here who just saw what happened here?"

A scholar who claimed to be a righteous person immediately stood up and pointed out that Mu Lian was the murderer.

Listening to them describing what had just happened, the Black Armored Army general's expression became darker and darker, while Mu Lian stroked her forehead.

It would be fine if these scholars told the truth about the scene they just saw, but every one of them was adding fuel to the fire.

Some people said that they watched her take out a dagger from her body and stab others, but they were unable to do anything.

Some people spoke convincingly, saying that they saw her stabbing the wounded several times with their own eyes, and the appearance of the wounded running away in fear was also vividly described by him.

What's even more exaggerated is that some people actually say that she has a hideous appearance, and she looks like a person who does evil and evil.

Mu Lian was speechless and looked up at the sky.

Is it a sin to look plain?How do you look like a murderer?
Opening their mouths to talk nonsense and slandering others at will, these people really do what they want and have no taboos!After all, killing with your mouth is no better than killing with a knife. The former does not need to go to jail and beheaded.

Hearing these scholars' words getting more and more outrageous, Mu Lian couldn't help stretching out her little finger, digging out her ears, and said to the crowd, "Have you all said enough? Can't tell, let's make up stories one by one. You are all good players. Compared with taking the provincial examination in the Gongyuan, I think the job of storyteller in the teahouse opposite is more suitable for you."

As soon as this remark came out, the scholars present glared at her.

"rude!"

"Insanity!"

"Vulgar man!"

Someone also cast their eyes on the general of the Black Armored Army, and begged, "My lord, please take down this arrogant murderer immediately! Set the record straight!"

 In fact, knowing that someone is reading the article I wrote, or leaving me a bad or good comment, I am already very happy~
