starting from Li Li Yuanba, as well as Zhuge Liang and Xiao He, which of these fierce generals was discovered through an examination?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no need for an examination at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ying Zheng’s thoughts had now changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn't figure out what the use of the imperial examination was, he believed that Ying Su must have his reasons for doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no other reason, just because all of Ying Su’s previous decisions were eventually proven to be correct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the palace, three people stood before Ying Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was dressed in white like snow, one was thin and small, and the other was of medium build with a slightly round face, and the two mustaches above his mouth were exactly the same as his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were the fierce generals Ying Su had just drawn from the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen Ximen Chuixue, and Sikong Sikong Zhaixing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of these three made Ying Su both surprised and happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time he drew Lu Lu Zhishen and Qiao Feng as personal bodyguards;

although they couldn't be ranked in Pingyang, they could be called a second-rate family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murder of a young master from such a family could be called a major event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pingyang Commandant immediately ordered an investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more than ten days passed, and no valuable clues were obtained; instead, it made Pingyang full of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because various rumors were flying everywhere; some said it was killed by Young Master Xu’s love rival, and others said it was the Xu family’s enemies coming for revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even said it was because Young Master Xu was preparing to participate in the imperial examination, so he was killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because those underground forces opposing Ying Su wanted to sabotage the imperial examination, so whoever dared to participate would be killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because there were too many rumors, the nobles didn't know if the killer would come after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Pingyang City now, basically no one dared to go out at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the number of patrol teams on the streets had also doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The events in Pingyang City soon reached Xianyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murder of a young master was not worth the Emperor’s personal inquiry, but if it involved the imperial examination, it was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The imperial examination was a major event strongly promoted by Ying Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever dared to sabotage the imperial examination was going against Ying Su, and going against Great Qin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the great hall, Ying Su mentioned the Pingyang City incident, then swept his gaze over the ministers: \"Ministers, the matter in Pingyang City has not been investigated yet, and it is currently uncertain whether it is related to the imperial examination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, as long as it has anything to do with the imperial examination, it will not be tolerated;

Ten days have passed since the incident, and he still hasn't been able to investigate it; this is his dereliction of duty!
