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.
