Who put the yellow robe on me?

The once-in-three-years Autumn Examination has finally ended. Students are walking out with their luggage, and crowds are surging outside the Imperial Examination Hall.

Luo Shihua and Qin Yiliang left the Imperial Examination Hall. Although they looked a little tired, their eyes revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Examination Hall made the two of them feel heavy. Although the process was tortuous, they still hoped to be admitted to the Imperial Examination.

Qin Yiliang asked softly, "Brother Luo, how do you feel about this Autumn Examination?"

Luo Shihua smiled faintly: "I have already performed at my normal level. I will do my best and leave the rest to fate!"

Qin Yiliang's face was full of fatigue: "Me too! I've been so tired these past few days, I really want to have a big meal!"

Luo Shihua asked: "What are you going to do in the next few days?"

Qin Yiliang shook his head, then smiled strangely: "I haven't made up my mind yet, what about you? Don't you want to go see her?"

Luo Shihua knew who Qin Yiliang was talking about, and his heart was beating fast, but he still replied: "I won't go!"

Qin Yiliang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a familiar voice: "Long time no see, you two!"

Luo Shihua and Qin Yiliang looked up and saw that the person in front of them was not someone else, but Jiang Chen, whom they met in the dilapidated temple when they came to Beijing.

"Oh, it's Brother Jiang!" Luo and Qin immediately clasped their fists in return.

Then the two of them turned their gaze from Jiang Chen to the two women behind him.

One of them was elegant and refined, with eyes like water and a peaceful smile; the other was cute and lovely, full of energy, with a look of wit and agility in her eyes.

Their beauty is hard to ignore, just like the bright moon in autumn, which makes people feel pity and love.

Who else could these two people be if not He Xiaowei and Jiang Sirou?

Luo and Qin spent their days with books as their companions, and their pens and ink as their friends. The women they met were mostly ordinary women. They had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and they couldn't help but stare at her in a trance...

"Brother Luo, Brother Qin, how did you do in the exam this time?" Han Qingsong came forward and greeted the two of them warmly, which brought them back to reality.

Luo Shihua and Qin Yiliang were in a daze for a moment, then returned the greeting and exchanged a few words.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "The Autumn Examination is over. I'm sure you two must be exhausted after more than ten days of exams. Why don't you go have a cup of tea and relax?"

The two men could not refuse, so they had to follow them to the teahouse opposite the Imperial Examination Hall and went up to the second floor.

The environment on the second floor of the teahouse is elegant, the scenery outside the window is pleasant, and the autumn sunshine shines on the table, giving people a warm feeling.

Jiang Chen asked everyone to sit down, and then said to the waiter, "Bring some good tea and some snacks."

"This is my sister Jiang Sirou," Jiang Chen said gently, "and this is my cousin He Xiaowei."

When He Xiaowei heard Jiang Chen call her cousin, her cheeks flushed immediately.

Since ancient times, cousins have been a perfect match.

Jiang Chen naturally didn't care, but it gave He Xiaowei endless imagination.

While they were talking, the waiter had already brought up the good tea and snacks.

After seeing the food and drinks, Qin Yiliang stopped being polite and ate heartily!

"Gu dong... gu dong..."

Qin Yiliang ate a plate of cakes and drank three bowls of tea in one breath.

"Brother Qin, please be more polite!" Luo Shihua frowned.

Jiang Chen laughed heartily: "It's okay! It's okay! Brother Qin has suffered a lot in the past few days!"

The atmosphere in the teahouse was relaxed and cheerful. Jiang Chen looked at Luo Shihua and Qin Yiliang and suddenly asked, "How do you feel about this Autumn Examination?"

Luo Shihua sighed, "In the past, the policy questions were always held in the third round. I don't know why they started in the second round this time."

Qin Yiliang took over the conversation and said, "Brother Luo, you're right. The fire after the second exam really scared me to death."

Jiang Sirou asked anxiously, "The fire didn't hurt you, did it?"

When Jiang Chen heard the two of them mention the fire, he asked anxiously, "What was the situation at that time?"

The two of them described the scene in vivid detail.

Luo Shihua said: "We had just finished the second exam when we heard flames coming out of the warehouse behind the exam hall."

Qin Yiliang added: "Before we could react, the student next to us suddenly shouted, 'Fire! Fire!'"

"Then what?" Jiang Chen asked.

Luo Shihua continued, "Then a burly-looking imperial guard came quickly with a small team to put out the fire."

"Oh? What does that person look like?" He Xiaowei asked.

Qin Yiliang put down his snacks and said, "That man looks really domineering. His face is as sharp as a knife and an axe, with clear lines, sword-like eyebrows, lightning-like eyes, and a thick beard under his chin. He commanded well and quickly brought the fire under control."

Jiang Chen and the other two nodded to each other. This person must be General Zhong Wenbin.

The two men briefly described the situation at that time, but because Jiang Chen did not have the handwritten letter from the Jingzhao prefect or the documents from the Ministry of Justice, he could not investigate further and could only chat for a few words and leave it at that.

Seeing that the two seemed to be intending to leave, Jiang Chen said, "Due to the fire, the announcement of the results of the Autumn Examination will probably be postponed for three days. What are your plans for the next ten days?"

Qin Yiliang smiled and said, "I'm fine. I wonder if Brother Luo will go to see me..."

Luo Shihua quickly interrupted him and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, we plan to travel in the capital for a few days. After the results are announced, we will return to Fengcheng."

Qin Yiliang seemed to realize that he didn't want others to know about this matter, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, there are many scenic spots in the capital."

Jiang Chen obeyed and stopped trying to persuade them to stay. He watched Luo Shihua pulling Qin Yiliang away, while Han Qingsong went downstairs to see them off.

Jiang Sirou asked curiously, "Who are you going to meet? You're so mysterious."

He Xiaowei smiled and said, "Sister Rou, everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know, so don't be so curious."

Jiang Chen looked at the departing figure and felt that this matter was not simple.

He began to recall what Xiong Zhiheng had said, mentioning that there were problems with the second test paper.

And in Luo Shihua and Qin Yiliang’s description just now, the problem of the test paper seemed to be mentioned again.

This gave him some idea, but it seemed like he had no clue at all.

He thought for a moment and said to Jiang Sirou and He Xiaowei, "We should leave too. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run."

He then thought of the promise he had made to General Zhong Wenbin that after the exam, they would plan to catch the traitor in the Western Regions together, and decided to act immediately.

He asked Han Qingsong to prepare the car, and several of them went to the Zhong Mansion together.

Not long after they left, two people slowly walked down from the third floor of the teahouse and came to the table where Jiang Chen and his friends were sitting.

"Sir..." One of them seemed to be asking for some advice.

"Those two can't be kept alive! They seem to know the Sixteenth Prince, and something bad will happen sooner or later.

Send a pigeon now, and have Da Zhuang come to the capital to kill these two people!"

"Yes! I'll do it now!"
