The onlookers thought and shouted.

"Little brother, kill that evil thief and make him never dare to do evil again."

The man wanted to explain himself, but Lu Changping didn't give him a chance to speak, forcing him into a panic.

Ge Wei was dumbfounded. Isn't this the person arranged by the emperor?

However, he was not sure whether this man was a bandit from Pulu Mountain. What the young man said matched the information they had received.

Thinking of that person's methods, Ge Wei tended to believe that this person was indeed a bandit from Pulu Mountain.

After cursing, Ge Wei winked at a man in black in the crowd and shouted, "Young man, the ring match must continue. Please go somewhere else."

Of course, Lu Changping didn't want to leave the ring, but the man he was fighting with fled outside the ring.

In order to perform the whole act, Lu Changping had no choice but to chase after the man.

Li Jiren was sharp-eyed and had recognized Lu Changping as the boy who had kidnapped the masked man yesterday.

He looked up in the direction where Lu Changping had just flown out, and saw a familiar face looking at him by the window.

Li Jiren had an excellent memory and immediately recognized that this man was the businessman he rescued in Pulu Mountain four years ago.

His heart warmed and he nodded slightly to Lu Fugui, and Lu Fugui also nodded slightly to him.

With more than a quarter of an hour left before the end, a man in black walked towards the ring.

Li Jixin twitched his lips speechlessly and prepared to fight.

Unexpectedly, a tall and thin man in his thirties suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man in black.

"Alright, one escaped, and you dare to come back? Tell me, where did the bandits who escaped from Pulu Mountain that day go?"

"You are crazy." The man in black was grabbed by the tall and thin man and cursed angrily.

"Brother Dahu, Erhu, come over here and take a look. Did I recognize the wrong person?"

A tall man and a man with a pleasant face walked up. They were Yan Dahu and Yan Erhu, and the tall and thin man was Lu Liang.

Yan Erhu shouted loudly: "It is indeed him, he is the bandit leader of Pulu Mountain, the one-eyed dragon, his little brother."

The man in black was furious. He was about to get a third-rank official position and 12,000 taels of silver. Where did this group of lunatics come from?

He was about to speak out a rebuttal, but was stopped by the three men.

The people who were originally surrounding him quickly retreated.

Most people believed what Yan Erhu and others said. Although it was a bit too coincidental, they knew that the leader of Pulu Mountain was a one-eyed man.

"Good man, how many bandits escaped from Mount Pulu that day? How come there are two in just a short while?"

"Yes, yes, you have to look for him carefully. You can't let such a person stay in Los Angeles."

The man in black shouted loudly: "I am not..."

"Of course the bandits won't admit they're bandits. You evil bastards, don't you know there's a huge pit on Mount Pulu, and there are a lot of bones buried in it. Many people's bones were broken by the torture of these evil bandits."

Yan Erhu cried as he spoke: "Many of us were injured at the time, and that's why these bandits escaped. Otherwise, we would have killed them all at the risk of our lives to rid the people of this evil!"

Yan Erhu's words aroused the sympathy of the people, and a group of people shouted "Get rid of this evil for the people" and rushed towards the man in black.

The man in black was a little scared, so he pulled his arm out of Lu Liang's hand and ran away quickly.

Yan Erhu was still chasing after him: "Don't let that bandit escape."

Li Jiren raised the corners of his mouth again and again, and used the teacup to hide his smile.

Ge Wei was depressed. Why did the emperor fail at such a critical moment? The people from Pulu Mountain should have been killed long ago.

Han Huaixi took the opportunity to give Li Jixin another glass of Red Bull.

There was less than a quarter of an hour left before the end of the game, but someone else jumped up. However, that person's martial arts skills were not very high, and he was quickly knocked down by Wei Qing.

The closer it gets to the end, the more people want to give it a try.

An old man in gray defeated another bodyguard and gestured to Li Jixin.

Li Jixin drank a Red Bull and rested for a while. Feeling that he had enough strength to hold on, he nodded to Li Jiren, indicating that he could handle it.

The old man's kung fu was not particularly good. Li Jixin looked at the clepsydra and deliberately delayed for a while. When the time was up, he flew up and kicked the old man off the stage.

Li Jiren quickly stood up and said to Yang Ziliang, "Master Yang, the time has come."

Yang Ziliang and Ge Wei looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Li Jiren shouted again, "Master Yang, are you planning to break your promise on behalf of Emperor Zhaowen?"

Li Jiren's words were serious. There was no way Yang Ziliang could do anything on behalf of Emperor Zhaowen. He quickly struck the drum and announced the end of the competition.

Li Jixin's body went limp and he was supported by Prince Qing and Li Jiren.

He smiled brightly and flamboyantly.

The crowd below was all shouting "Second Young Master, Second Young Master..."

Ten new scholars, including Han Qingyun and Liu Minghe, had originally hoped that Li Jixin would win, but now that Li Jixin really won, their faces fell instantly.

Liu Minghe was the one who was most worried that something might happen to Li Jixin, but he was also the one who was most reluctant to leave Luocheng. He was unwilling to give up because he hadn't even started what he was going to do.

For others, if Li Jixin won, it would mean that they would have to leave their homes and go to Jiyang. Given Emperor Zhaowen's temperament, he would definitely detain all their relatives.

Among the ten of them, Guan Xueqin's family was a military general and was already in the capital. His family was very powerful, so if he went to Jiyang, Emperor Zhaowen would not make things difficult for his family.

Liu Minghe was born into the Liu family, one of the five great families. His parents were dead, and he had no wife or children. His closest relatives were only an elder brother and several nephews.

But his brother is the head of the Liu family and it is impossible for him to leave his ancestral home in Zhengcheng, so the emperor can do nothing to him.

Han Qingyun was different. Not only were his wife and children in Luocheng, but his in-laws were also in Luocheng. Even the shops opened by the two families were very close to the palace.

Among the ten people, he had the ugliest expression.

Of the other seven people, one is from Los Angeles, and the rest are all from other places.

These people also looked unhappy. They had received news from the Ministry of Rites, saying that their families would be brought over for a small gathering.

What a small gathering!

When they passed the imperial examination, they were so eager to return home. Now they are so regretful. They should have not taken the exam earlier!

Yan Hui, Yan Shi'an and the people of Fengye Village had been following the competition. When they heard that Li Jixin had won, they all ran to the Han family nervously.

Han Qingyun forced a smile and sent everyone away, only Yan Shian stayed.

Yan Shi'an's eyes dimmed: "Qingyun, will the emperor really let you go to Jiyang?"

He had also realized these days that Emperor Zhaowen was not a good person, but Prince Lin was the enemy of the people of Wuping County.

"The Emperor certainly doesn't want Li Jixin to take the man away, but everyone knows about this. Even without the 100,000 elite troops Li Jiren brought with him, the Emperor can't easily break his promise. He is the Son of Heaven, and his word is law. If he fails to do so, the people of the world will lose their faith in him."

"I really don't understand. If Li Jixin wanted to take Divine Doctor Ye away, he could have done so quietly. But why did he want to take the Grand Empress Dowager with him? Throughout history, has there ever been a Grand Empress Dowager who accompanied a prince to his fiefdom? And he's forcing you to go with him as well."

Yan Shian pounded the table angrily.

Han Qingyun guessed in his heart that Li Jixin's real target was Liu Minghe or himself, but he couldn't say it out loud. He could only comfort Yan Shian that the emperor would not let anyone go easily and things might turn around.

Yan Shian suddenly said to Han Qingyun in a serious tone, "My father said he was planning to sell his property in Luocheng..."
