Zhu Tian's family was well off, with a thousand acres of fertile land. His father was a well-known squire in the suburbs of Beijing. It is said that he was a branch of Zhu's family, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court.
Although the Zhu family is not as good as those aristocratic families, it is still a family that has been passed down through farming and education. Now that an official like Mr. Zhu has appeared, it is a shining light on the lintel.
"Senior Brother Zhu Tian works so hard on weekdays just to prepare for the exam next year. He also said that he is sure to pass this exam and will definitely pass it."
Zhao Xi sighed as he spoke, looking for someone to be an official. When Zhu Tian passed five levels and killed six generals, and finally entered the officialdom, Master Zhu, the direct descendant, must have been promoted.
Wouldn't it be much better than poor students like them to have someone to take care of them?
Su Yizhao nodded understandingly and asked: "Senior Brother Zhutian should be busy with school and has no time to play, right?"
When the two asked Su Yizhao, they were stunned. Sun Hou was the first to say: "Not really! Maybe it's because of his extraordinary talent. Senior Brother Zhu Tian has a hobby, which is hunting for treasures, and he has spent a lot of time in this way."
"Yes! Brother Zhu Tian also likes to recite poems and write poems, and he often spends time with his friends... um! Let's discuss knowledge together!"
Zhao Xi spoke hesitantly, which made Su Yizhao feel strange.
Just now, it was said that Zhu Tian studied hard and stayed up all night to study. Now, he said that it was also them who often went out to play. Isn't this contradictory?
If you are still hemming and hawing, is there anything you can’t say about discussing knowledge with your friends?
"Yes! But apart from these, Senior Brother Zhu Tian still puts most of his energy into studying."
Sun Hou seemed to be trying to make amends with his words. Su Yizhao suppressed this question in his heart. If he asked these questions again, the two of them would probably not say anything.
"By the way! Does Senior Brother Zhutian have the habit of taking a bath in the morning?"
While Su Yizhao was talking, she noticed someone was looking at her. She quickly turned around and found that it was her husband Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei looked over with inquiring eyes, and Su Yizhao quickly smiled at him.
"Yes! He takes a bath when he gets up early in the morning. We have asked him before, and he said it is to wash away yesterday's hustle and bustle and devote himself to today's study." Sun Hou said without hesitation.
Zhao Xi nodded affirmatively, "Many people in our academy who know him know that he has this habit."
It seems that Zhu Tian is very famous in the academy? Thinking of what he said before about being among the best, Su Yizhao found it not surprising.
"Is today his holiday?" Su Yizhao asked again.
At this time, Zhao Xi and Sun Hou looked at Su Yizhao with strange eyes. Even if they were curious, few people would ask so many questions.
"Of course not! Our Dizi Bookstore takes a bath every ten days, and yesterday happened to be a day for a bath."
Although Sun Hou wondered why Su Yizhao asked so detailed questions, he still answered.
Su Yizhao was about to ask again when he heard Zhao Xi say: "Senior Brother Zhu Tian returned to the academy very early yesterday and said that he wanted to ask Master for advice on something unclear today. Unexpectedly..."
Su Yizhao glanced at Zhao Xi thoughtfully after hearing this, these two people are really good people!
"Do all the dormitories in our academy have one room per person? The environment is not bad!"
Su Yizhao looked around and pretended to talk casually.
Sun Hou waved his hand after hearing this, "Senior Brother Zhu, my family is well off, so naturally I live alone. I live with you, Senior Brother Sun, and two other classmates."
Su Yizhao understood that the dormitories in the academy were divided into three, six or nine grades.
Naturally, those with a lot of money would live in one room, while those with little money would live in a room with other students.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Someone is coming from the Yamen!"
There was a noise, and then someone pushed the crowd of onlookers, and Su Yizhao was inevitably pushed aside.
She glanced at Sun Hou and Zhao Xi and found that they were already standing at the outermost edge.
"Everyone, please go back! Don't delay your admission to school. This matter will be handled by the Yamen."
Master Zhang dispersed the students who were watching. When they saw people coming from the Yamen, they wanted to drive them away, so they rushed to the study room one after another.
It was naturally impossible for Su Yizhao to leave, not because she wanted to join in the fun, but because she was called by the Yamen for questioning.
"Since you are a student named Huang No. 3, why did you come to Zhu Tian? What is your relationship with him?"
A man wearing a green robe and official uniform had sharp eyes. He kept looking at Su Yizhao while asking questions.
Su Yizhao was just a few years old child, but he did not take it lightly.
"My lord, I am not acquainted with Senior Brother Zhu Tian. Today is the first time we have met."
"Oh? Then why did you appear in his house?"
The Academy Master sitting nearby frowned when he heard this. How could a child become a murderer? This official Li was really making a fuss out of a molehill.
In his opinion, he probably died accidentally after he slipped and hit his head on the inkstone after taking a shower.
To take a step back, even if someone commits murder, it cannot be the child in front of me.
Su Yizhao glanced at the mountain chief from the corner of her eye. She was a little curious about the former Taifu.
After all, my grandfather had said before that the former Grand Tutor Zhu Yue was a highly respected person with good connections in the court, but it was a pity that he rarely accepted any disciples.
"Early this morning, the student was walking towards the library. Who would have thought that he would meet this woman halfway. She was carrying two buckets on her shoulders and two food boxes in her hands. When the student saw this, he stepped forward to help, so he asked
Clear the place and send the food boxes to Senior Brother Zhu’s house.”
Su Yizhao recalled the woman's every move and found nothing suspicious.
"The two of us entered the studio together. The student wanted to go back immediately, but the woman shouted twice outside the studio, but no one in the studio answered."
Su Yizhao answered while recalling the various behaviors of the woman before.
"She said she had to go elsewhere to be busy, and she was a little anxious, so she begged the student to open the door and go in to take a look. The door was ajar, but the student just pushed it lightly and walked in."
"In other words, as soon as the door opened, you saw Zhu Tian lying in a pool of blood and unconscious, right?"
The clerk on the side quickly wrote down this careful inquiry, which was called Li Tuiguan.
Su Yizhao nodded, "Yes! The woman immediately went to invite someone over, and the student stayed here."
"Then has anything been moved in this apartment?" Li Tuiguan pointed to the apartment behind him, his tone was very cold.
"The coat worn by Senior Brother Zhu was originally placed on the screen, but later Master Zhang saw that it was indecent and ordered the Senior Brother to use it to temporarily cover the body. The rest has not been moved, and no one has come in or moved around."
Su Yizhao talks about everything in detail. Sometimes a small detail is ignored, which makes it difficult to solve the case.
Li Tuiguan then went to ask the woman, and the woman's answer was exactly the same as Su Yizhao's.
The woman was about forty years old. Because her family was poor, she was dragged into the academy and she did odd jobs on weekdays.
Early this morning, the woman heard that someone wanted to take a bath in the No. 3 room, so she had already sent hot water over.
When Su Yizhao met her, she had just calculated the time to come to clean up and pour out the dirty water.
The food box was brought to Zhu Tian. Zhu Tian always took a bath first in the morning and then had breakfast. This was the case every day.
