Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

"Master Jingheng?"

Chu Lianqing froze for a moment, then woke up.

"That's right, master, you forgot, you said back then that Master Jingheng also said that the Buddha statue was auspicious in front of the emperor..." Chu Nan reminded.

The matter of the Golden Buddha is not only related to Chu Lianqing, but also related to Jing Heng.

If something happened to the Buddha statue, then Jing Heng couldn't escape it!

"Yup!"

Chu Lianqing's originally silent expression gradually brightened.

Jingheng had personally said the auspicious words of this Buddha statue at the beginning, and he remembered it clearly.

Once the matter of the Buddha statue is exposed, the reputation of Jingheng will also be affected.

Once Jing Heng, the national teacher, loses his reputation, it means losing the trust of the emperor, and his status will be in danger at that time.

So Jingheng will never ignore this matter!

Chu Lianqing quickly figured this out, and immediately said to Chu Nan, "Let's go out of the city and go to Xiangguo Temple to find Master Jingheng!"

Chu Lianqing and Chu Nan didn't dare to waste time, so they immediately had people drive a carriage out of the city before the city gate closed, and then rushed to Xiangguo Temple overnight.

Jing Heng was seriously injured in the Confucius Temple. Although he managed to save his life, he lost an arm and his martial arts also plummeted.

Now I can only lie on the bed to recuperate.

Hearing Jing Tong's report that Chu Lianqing had come to the door again, Jing Heng's eyes flashed with annoyance.

"Why is he here again?" Jingheng said unhappily, "If it's still because of Chu Zhuang, tell him to reconcile with Chu Zhuang. Before that, don't come to me!"

"Host, Chu Lianqing said it was because of the Buddha statue. What is the specific reason? He said that the matter is very important, and he will only talk about it when he sees the host."

Jing Tong shook his head, if it was because of Chu Zhuang's matter, he would directly reject Chu Lianqing's request without Jing Heng asking.

But he was a little uncertain about the Buddha statue.

"The golden Buddha he dedicated to the emperor?"

Jing Heng frowned and asked.

"Yes, it is this Buddha statue."

Jingtong nodded slightly. Apart from this golden Buddha, are there other Buddha statues that would make Chu Lianqing come to Jingheng in such a panic?

"Let him come in and see me."

After thinking about it for a while, Jing Heng decided to meet Chu Lianqing, after all, he has some connection with this golden Buddha.

When Chu Lianqing heard that Jing Heng was willing to see him, he hurried in immediately.

"What happened to the Golden Buddha?"

Jing Heng didn't want to talk nonsense with Chu Lianqing, so he asked straight to the point.

Seeing Jing Heng's weak appearance, Chu Lianqing was stunned, but after hearing Jing Heng's words, he immediately stopped paying attention to these trivial matters, and begged quickly: "Master, you must save me!"

Jing Heng's face was ugly, he didn't speak, but looked at Chu Lianqing coldly.

If he didn't say anything, how could he come to the rescue?

After Chu Lianqing realized it, he didn't dare to beat around the bush, and directly told Jing Heng what he saw the Golden Buddha in the palace today.

"National teacher, once this Buddha statue is exposed in front of everyone, I will be doomed! National teacher, you must save me this time!" Chu Lianqing begged.

Jing Heng leaned weakly on the bed, dripping water with a gloomy face.

At the beginning, he had personally admitted to the emperor that the Golden Buddha was auspicious, but now that something went wrong, what he said back then...

Jing Heng, the national teacher, is said to be highly respected, but in fact he has no real power at all, relying entirely on his reputation.

Once his reputation is damaged, Jing Heng's status will definitely be hit very hard.

This situation is even more serious than his broken arm.

"Host, this..."

Jing Tong obviously knew this too, and looked at Jing Heng worriedly.

"Are you sure you read it right?"

Jing Heng frowned, he sized up Chu Lianqing, and suspected that Chu Lianqing had been hallucinated by the female ghost.

Otherwise, why did the Buddha statue suddenly look like this when it was fine?

"Exactly!"

Seeing that Jing Heng didn't believe him, Chu Lianqing quickly untied his cloak, and handed his gold-painted robe to Jing Tong who was beside him.

Facts speak louder than words. Everyone can see the gold lacquer on this dress, so it should be impossible to fake it.

Moreover, Chu Lianqing would never dare to deceive Jing Heng about this matter.

"Host, it's gold paint!"

Jing Tong checked it and nodded to Jing Heng.

Jing Heng's heart sank, and he looked at Chu Lianqing with red eyes, wishing to kill him directly to relieve his anger.

He felt that Chu Lianqing was an unlucky ghost. Since he met Chu Lianqing, nothing went well.

This time, something like this happened unexpectedly, and it even affected him.

Jing Heng couldn't help being suspicious.

Could it be that Chu Lianqing was really haunted by a female ghost, so bad luck happened.

And the self who was in contact with Chu Lianqing was inevitably affected?

Jing Heng shook his head, shaking off these distracting thoughts in his mind.

Whether Chu Lianqing is suffering from bad luck, he has no way to decide for the time being, the most urgent thing is to solve the matter of the Golden Buddha.

"How did it suddenly become like this?" Jing Heng took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and asked.

"I don't know, it was really fine before, but when I went in today, it became like this."

Chu Lianqing's eyes were full of confusion, he really didn't know.

"I know the matter, you go away first!"

Seeing that Chu Lianqing didn't know what to ask, Jing Heng immediately opened his mouth and chased him away.

"But the national teacher, the matter of the Buddha statue..."

Chu Lianqing didn't want to leave like this, he looked at Jing Heng anxiously, hoping that he could give him an answer.

Jing Heng closed his eyes again, unwilling to look at Chu Lianqing again.

"The host already knows the matter, and the host will not ignore it!"

Jingtong invited Chu Lianqing out and gave him an answer at the same time.

Even if this matter is for Jing Heng himself, Jing Heng will take action to solve it.

Chu Lianqing was still uneasy, but he didn't dare to force it, so he could only go to the wing room to rest temporarily.

"Can Master Jingheng really solve it?"

Chu Lianqing suspected that there were still two days before the silk cloth on the Buddha statue would be uncovered.

What solution will Jingheng have?

After sending Chu Lianqing away, Jingtong returned to the room.

"Master, this matter is of great importance. We cannot let the matter of the Buddha statue affect your reputation." Jing Tong said, looking at Jing Heng with his lips tightened.

Jingheng has already been seriously injured, and if the damage to their reputation is added, it will definitely be a fatal blow to them.

Now that Yu Wenming has been released, if this incident happens again at this time, the prince's situation in the court will definitely be even more difficult.

Of course Jingheng knew this.

This matter is difficult to say, but it may not be without a solution.

"Jingtong, ask someone to take out the gold from the warehouse, melt and cast a new golden Buddha as quickly as possible, and then send the golden Buddha in from the secret path to replace it!" Jingheng looked at Jingtong and ordered.

Since there is a problem with the Buddha statue, they will recast a golden Buddha to replace it!

The Golden Buddha was cast by them themselves, so there shouldn't be any problems, right? !

This approach is the most effective way to solve the current predicament.

But that doesn't mean it's without drawbacks.

Recasting a golden Buddha, especially with such a large size, requires a lot of gold coins!

It may take hundreds of thousands of gold coins at least, or millions of gold coins to melt into such a golden Buddha!

Rao Jingheng has been worth a lot in the past few decades, and he can't help feeling sorry for this amount.

The gold coins in the cave warehouse are obviously going to be locked up for a long time.

But apart from this method, they have no other way.

"Yes, host!" Jing Tong sighed and nodded in response.

"Time is running out, we must replace the Golden Buddha before Chu Lianqing takes office!" Jing Heng reminded.

It takes time to cast the golden Buddha, and at the same time, the golden Buddha must be transported from the tunnel into the palace.

There are only two days left now.

The time is imminent.

……

Guo Mansion.

"Ma'am, everyone is under control!" The maid came to report to Min Xian.

After Min Xian came back, she used thunderous means to control the entire back house of the Guo Mansion. Some of them who disobeyed the discipline have all broken their legs and locked them in the firewood room.

"Have you found that bitch's cronies?" Min Xian nodded and asked.

Min Xian didn't really care about the other servants, they just sold them after this incident.

What she cares most about is Shi Yinglan's confidant.

The question that Yunhong thought of before, obviously Min Xian also thought of it.

She wants to get Shi Yinglan's criminal evidence from Shi Yinglan's confidant.

The maid nodded and explained: "This second lady has two confidantes in total, one is Caixiang, her personal maid, and the other is her arranged housekeeper, Guo Dong!"

"Guo Dong?"

Min Xian narrowed her eyes and said, "Bring me up!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

The maid went down and soon brought Guo Dong over.

At this time, Guo Dong's situation was not very good. After seeing Min Xian, he immediately knelt down and begged Min Xian for mercy: "Madam, please spare the little one, spare the little one's life!"

"It's not impossible to spare your life."

Min Xian looked at Guo Dong, and said lightly: "As long as you confess everything Shi Yinglan has done, I can spare your life!"

Hearing Min Xian's words, Guo Dong hesitated.

He still has concerns in his heart. First, he doesn't believe that Min Xian will really let him go from time to time. Second, he still hopes that Shi Yinglan can turn around.

After all, he was very clear about Guo Jia's attitude towards Min Xian and Shi Yinglan.she

"Guo Dong, I heard that you married a wife and had a child outside the house? The son was just born?"

Min Xian naturally has a way to handle Guo Dong.

Although it is not really possible to take action against Guo Dong's family, it is still possible to use this to threaten Guo Dong.

Guo Dong's face turned pale when he heard this.

No one told him about this, how did Min Xian know?
