Chapter 15 The Scourge

Many years later, when Liu Sandao was talking to a certain saint about the character that a Confucian scholar should have, he could still think of Qian Haoran's changed face.

After Su Wen wrote "Song of the Peach Blossom Pavilion", Qian Haoran was no longer the dutiful scholar who was imprisoned by the foolish king and could not go down the mountain or speak out easily. Instead, he actively cooperated with Liu Sandao and sent disciples to go everywhere in his name.

Announce that the rumors that appear in the city are all deliberate attempts by people with ulterior motives to deliberately undermine the stability of Wuning City in order to achieve ulterior motives.

Qian Haoran's reputation was more effective than the inner factory and the governor's office. Before the rumors spread everywhere, they were extinguished by hundreds of college students preaching and distributing leaflets in the city before they even caused a disturbance.

Qian Haoran even sent teachers from the academy and several capable disciples to Wuning City to cooperate with the inner factory in handling the case.

Under the strong intervention of Qingshan Academy, the governor's office, which had done nothing and had no intention of doing anything, finally cheered up and went around hunting for the murderer under the guise of arresting the murderer, posting a portrait of Hu Xiaoqian sent from the factory.

Although Hu Xiaoqian was not caught, he did catch many habitual criminals. For a time, the public security environment in Wuning City was very good.

Su Wen's gains were even greater.

Qian Haoran let him stay, first said a lot of words of encouragement and praise, and then found him a set of four treasures of the study from the study - Qian Haoran's inventory was naturally richer than Dong Zhizhang's, and the grade was much higher, including

There is a copy of "Mencius" copied by Qian Haoran himself, which is much more valuable than other literary toys given away.

In addition, Qian Haoran also prepared the secret medicine for Su Wen to ascend to the extraordinary. According to Qian Haoran, Su Wen will accumulate literary energy very quickly, as late as three months, and as short as one month.

Complete the accumulation of literary spirit and become a Confucian extraordinary person.

In the end, Qian Haoran asked his disciples to give Su Wen a house in the peach blossom forest - saying that it was not safe outside yet, and that he would return to the city to live after Hu Xiaoqian and her gang were wiped out. But in fact, Qian Haoran also expressed

One meaning is that Su Wen has unparalleled poetry talent. If he stays in the back mountain, he can compete with his brothers and improve his poetry skills together. Su Wen's understanding is that Qian Haoran wants to catch him and pick up a few more poems.

Come out to praise this headmaster of Qingshan Academy who does not admire prosperity and looks down upon princes and dignitaries.

It's just that for Su Wen, the mountain behind the academy is indeed much safer and more comfortable than the back office of the inner factory.

As for the poems praising the mountain leader... Although I don’t have much in my stomach, if I don’t focus on quality, I can still recite dozens of poems. If I save some, I can cope with it for a few years. The key is that after Mr. Dong comes back,

Might be very unhappy.

Su Wen didn't know whether Mr. Dong was happy or not, but Walnut was very happy about the house arranged by the academy.

As soon as Su Wen entered the house, Walnut got out of the bag and found the bed familiarly. He lay on it and fell asleep without any intention of moving.

Su Wen didn't stay in the academy for too long. After placing the walnuts and being invited to have breakfast by Qian Haoran, he left in a hurry.

But when he was leaving, he saw from a distance several of Qian Haoran's students with the title of gentleman and sage, together with dozens of craftsmen, carrying a huge piece of sapphire and placing it next to the former Peach Blossom Pavilion, gearing up.

Su Wen covered his face with his hands, sighed and left.



"How come there aren't any clues? If the murderer did something like this, there should be loopholes everywhere, but you actually say you can't catch a single clue?"

Entering the Neichang Yamen, Su Wen heard Liu Sandao's roaring voice from a distance: "Near the main street, people with leaflets and posters at home, printing shops, and bookstores are all key targets. There are quite a lot of people on the other side.

How is it possible that there are no flaws at all! Won’t you step up the search?”

"We've searched all the stalls... there's no problem, and we've even used secret methods to question several bookstore bosses and workers to make sure they're not lying..."

Lao Liu's aggrieved voice sounded in the room: "The only clue now is this Hu Xiaoqian. Several scholars looked inappropriate when they saw the wanted order. After being interrogated, they gained something..."

"oh?"

Liu Sandao made a sound of surprise, and then said loudly: "Then why don't you tell me quickly and leave half of it, do you think you are a storyteller?!"

Listening to Liu Sandao's irritable voice, Su Wen hesitated a little, feeling that he shouldn't go in to avoid touching his brow.

"Su Wen, are you here?"

Liu Sandao's ears were pretty good. As soon as Su Wen got closer, he recognized the footsteps, stuck out his head, grinned and said, "It's you who have the brainpower to invite Qian Hao...well, Chief Qian Shan."

, with the intervention of the Academy, the people in the city are at peace, and the rumors have basically had no effect, leaving us with a lot of buffer time."

"That's not necessarily the case..."

Seeing that Liu Sandao was so optimistic, Su Wen poured cold water on him directly.

Hu Xiaoqian and the gang behind her focused their rumors on the emperor from the very beginning. Not only were they brave and talented, they were at least lawless.

With Qian Haoran's intervention, the previous two waves of rumors were considered useless. However, although Qian Haoran's reputation is good, if it is used this time, it may not be so useful next time.

What's more, Hu Xiaoqian, who is good at stirring up people's hearts, is likely to push the rumors to Qian Haoran, first ruining Qian Haoran's reputation, and then doing the same thing.

In fact, Su Wen did not regard this possibility as just a boring conjecture, but considered it to be extremely possible.

When saying goodbye to Qian Haoran, he seriously reminded Qian Haoran that he was likely to be involved, and apologized in advance - because he was afraid that if he apologized after the incident happened, Qian Haoran would not necessarily forgive him so easily and forgive the cost.

Probably higher too.

Qian Haoran was indeed very angry, saying that trivial matters were not a bother to him. What's more, he was a free man, and his reputation in the world was not worth mentioning to him. So what did it matter if he was scolded a few times? And he was not easy to handle.

Persimmon, if the other person dares to anger him, he has to think carefully about whether he can afford such consequences.

"Back to the case..."

Seeing that Lao Liu didn't say anything further, Su Wen quickly interrupted Liu Sandao and signaled Lao Liu to continue telling the progress of the investigation.

"Also, wait a minute..."

Su Wen quickly thought of something else and said to Liu Sandao: "Sister Liu, doesn't our Yamen have a place where we can have a quiet chat? I can hear what you are saying even outside the Yamen..."

Thinking of this, Su Wen sighed heavily.

The Neichang Yamen is really hard to describe. In addition to being remote and hard to find, it is also almost undefended. He walked from the door of the Yamen to the lobby and saw no one alive, and no one stopped him for questioning. Seeing this scene, Su

Wen then realized that it was the right choice for him to live in the mountains behind the academy.

With the protective strength of the Neichang Yamen, it was very easy for Hu Xiaoqian to break into the Yamen and abduct him without being sneaky.

"This is the inner factory office! Who dares to eavesdrop on what we are talking about?"

Liu Sandao blew his beard and stared.

"... If Hu Xiaoqian has gang members in the factory, they can know our understanding of the case without eavesdropping... and can make targeted arrangements in time."

Su Wen couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that there might be bad people in the inner factory, and they might be in a very central position, but now he noticed the operations of Liu Sandao and his group, and realized that he had thought too complicatedly, so he

With this level of confidentiality, I can leak all the information without prying.

"That makes sense!"

Liu Sandao was convinced, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then let's keep our voices down?"

At the same time, he patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, my ears are very good. If someone comes close to eavesdrop, they will definitely not be able to escape my ears!"

As he spoke, Liu Sandao moved his ears slightly, as if to show his magical ability to Su Wen.

"All right……"

Su Wen shook his head. Liu Sandao is such a person. It is already very rare to be able to do this. There is no way to force more.

Everyone's attention returned to Lao Liu.

"Ahem..."

Lao Liu cleared his throat and lowered his voice and said, "It's like this. We brought those scholars with strange expressions back for questioning, and found out that they all knew Hu Xiaoqian, and had had an affair with Hu Xiaoqian in the past period of time.

Several casual marriages... and several scholars' kidneys have dried up. It is obvious that their bodies are broken, but they have not shown it for a while..."

"There is such a thing!"

Liu Sandao was shocked and looked at Su Wen: "Turns out he is a habitual offender. Fortunately, Brother Su stayed calm last night...otherwise he might have been just like those scholars!"

"I'm not sitting still, I'd rather die than surrender!"

Su Wen silently lamented for himself.

"Also...these scholars all have remarkable characteristics...most of them have awakened literary energy, which has not yet reached an extraordinary level. A small number of them are also accumulating literary energy. It is only a matter of time before they awaken to literary energy, but the literary energy has basically been squeezed out.

Damn, the possibility of recovery is very low...it's a pity."

Lao Liu felt a little regretful. There were not many scholars who could awaken their literary spirit, but these scholars failed to refuse the temptation, which brought disaster to themselves and wasted their great future.

"It's such a pity to fall for oneself... People with such evil intentions will be a disaster sooner or later even if they awaken their literary spirit and become extraordinary!"

Yan Duo sneered at Lao Liu's words.

"Brother Su, someone is looking for you!"

Gu Qingchen walked in from outside the Yamen, followed by two young men with dark circles under their eyes and floating steps. They also held a wanted order with pictures and text in their hands. Hu Xiaoqian's appearance was lifelike.

Su Wen heard the sound and walked out, and saw Sun Yehou and Zhang?.

"Su Wen, something bad is happening!"

When they saw Su Wen from a distance, the two of them shouted angrily: "We met a wanted witch last night, and we were, were, harmed!"
