Zhu Guanliang was sure that for someone as famous as Tang Zhaoyin, even if nothing happened to him, he would not be able to live for long after entering the imperial court.

After drinking the tea, Zhu Guanliang stood up. It was time for him to head back.

After following that person, he deliberately bumped into the waiter, and pretended to accidentally bump into the person following him when he was retreating.

The man felt a stabbing pain in his neck, turning around to look at Zhu Guanliang, afraid to startle him, he did not say anything, seeing that he had left, he wanted to take a step forward to catch up, but before he could stand up, his head suddenly smashed into the table, and he stood up straight and did not move.

The waiter who came to ask him what he wanted to drink called him for a few times, but no one agreed. In the end, he reached out his hand and pushed. He collapsed just like that, and with another sniff of his nose, he died!

He came and sat down without saying a word, nor did he clash with anyone. Just like that … Just sit down and die?

The waiter was so scared that he sat down on the floor and pointed at the man. He opened his mouth and shouted, "What a dead man!"

In almost an instant, all the people in the tavern dispersed like birds. Even the drunk Tang Zhaoyin was forcefully dragged away in the chaos.

During the night, the Ministry of Justice Elder brought a corpse to Lin Jing's residence to meet him. It was the person who died in the tavern today, the coroner had already examined him, and he died from poison. The injury was on his neck, and there was a small needle on it.

The Ministry of Justice Minister had a smile on his face, no matter when it was, it was always a smile, but it was only a smile with a profound meaning, as though it had nothing to do with him after sending the corpse over, "Since the person has been delivered, this official will also take his leave."

Lin Jing did not say anything, but waved her hand as a form of farewell.

This person was someone he had sent to follow Zhu Guanliang. Originally, he only wanted to investigate whether Zhu Guanliang had any problems or not.

Everything was going smoothly at first, but now that he was dead, there was no doubt that the culprit was Zhu Guanliang.

She had originally thought that he was just a doctor, but she hadn't thought that he would have the ability to kill. This was a bit unusual. How could an ordinary doctor kill someone? It was murder that was invisible.

He must have had a problem.

Zhu Guanliang returned to the General's Estate. After going back, he carefully thought about it, and felt that other than Lin Jing, there would not be a second person who was so focused on him, and had already reached the point of being followed.

Lin Jing, it looks like he can't stay any longer.

Zhou Leping had always been preparing to return to the borders recently, and this time, not only was her enemy a newbie, she also had Qi Kingdom. She had always been very serious about this kind of thing, and had already closed doors for a few days without coming out.

There were a total of three days in the Imperial Examinations. After the exams were over, the papers had to be reviewed by many people before being handed over to the Emperor.

At this time, the capital was filled with a nervous atmosphere. For some reason, even Zhou Leping felt nervous.

Previously, he knew that Tang Zhaoyin was Lin Jing's foster son, so there was no suspense this time around.

Sure enough, when it was announced, Tang Zhaoyin's name was placed at the top of the list.

When he entered the palace, Tang Zhaoyin was still limping, and the emperor asked him what was going on with his leg. When he turned to look at Zhou Leping, he smiled and said that he had accidentally landed on the ground carelessly.

The order had not come down yet, but Zhao Shiqian was extremely satisfied with the article that Tang Zhaoyin had written. From the looks of it, his position was definitely not small.

Tang Zhaoyin was so elated that he forgot himself when he came out of the palace. When he met Zhou Leping at the entrance, the two of them looked at each other for a moment before he bowed and greeted, "Greetings, General."

"He's in high spirits! How long has it been since we last saw each other? We'll see how long it's been since we've seen each other."

"General, you're praising me. No matter how high-spirited I am, am I not Chief General?"

Zhou Leping hugged his shoulders. Although Tang Zhaoyin was a standard hedonist, and did not look bad, she ate and drank for a long time, her body was slightly fat, and she was weak. Zhou Leping had only patted him twice, causing him to cough continuously.

"It's impossible for the emperor to thoroughly investigate everyone's background, but the emperor doesn't know, so I'm very clear on what kind of trash you are. You should be more clear than I am on where the top scholar's position is."

Tang Zhaoyin hated Zhou Leping to the bones, but now that he was under someone and had her break his arms and legs before, he became even more cautious.

Zhou Leping continued, "Hide your fox tail well, and if you let me catch you, you will die."

In fact, Zhou Leping could have exposed that Tang Zhaoyin was Lin Jing's foster son just now, but that would have been meaningless. This kind of person could either not make a move or kill him instantly, if not he would be like the wild grasses on the mountain, the wild fire would never end, and once the spring wind blew, he would immediately be covered with green oil.

This was a lesson she had learned two times before, so she wasn't as impulsive this time.

After coming back, she had sparred with Lin Jing a few times, and had already figured out the rough outline of the other party. It was unfortunate that after she left, the emperor had fallen into his previous awkward position, and before she left, even if he could not be completely uprooted, he would at least be hurt seventy to eighty percent.

When she went back, she made Qi Si stare fixedly at Tang Zhaoyin. She did not believe that he would still be able to endure and not reveal anything.

But after staring at them for a few days, Tang Zhaoyin still remained calm and did not reveal anything. This made Zhou Leping puzzled.

Tang Zhaoyin had already received Lin Jing's warning, telling him to not go anywhere before making the order, since Zhou Leping had already set his eyes on him, he would definitely send someone to follow him, waiting for someone to catch him. If they wanted to live, they had to restrain their previous mistakes.

He suggested to her that the officials of the imperial government should not enter or leave the brothel's gambling house or something like that. Although Tang Zhaoyin had not been appointed as the top scorer yet, but as this year's top scorer, if he were to be brought to a place like the brothel's gambling house right after taking the examination, wouldn't it make more sense to check things out?

Zhou Leping tapped his fingers on the table, "What is he doing now? He knows that I'm staring at him. He's extremely cautious, how could he possibly make another mistake?"

"That's why I need someone to guide me."

"What do you mean? You want me to find someone to frame him? " Zhou Leping slapped the table and stood up, "I, Zhou Leping, never do such a despicable thing! Besides, why do I have to frame him? I just need to wait for him to show off. I don't believe that he will be able to pretend for the rest of his life! "

Not only was he stupid, he was also a good person.

Zhu Guanliang said helplessly, "The general will be leaving soon, what if he doesn't make any mistakes during this period?"
