Chapter 162 'The Dream of Agelessness' Case Closed
Inside the cell.
Both sides remained silent.
Li Yan looked at Jia Sibo.
Jasbo stared at the diary.
He didn't say a word for a long time.
The guards guarding outside made eye contact, and Li Qianru, the prime minister of Dali Temple who was following Pi Dian Dian, became expectant.
That night Li Jiyi brought him for interrogation. With just a few words, he was able to trick the Jia thief around and obtain key information.
What methods will Li Jiyi use this time to make Jia thief confess more things, and even get the name of the traitor in the court?
After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Jia Sibo couldn't hold it in any longer: "Li Jiyi came to me not just to smell the stench in the prison, right? Please speak out!"
Li Yan nodded: "You taught Zhang Yang to write this diary, right? Is there any new way to imitate Liniang's story?"
Jia Sibo smiled: "The trick is not to have many tricks, but to be useful. Wasn't Li Jiyi also deceived in the beginning?"
Li Yan said: "Indeed, there are a few pages torn out of it, and it looks like it is disguised. But I will teach you a way, and you can also see what is written on the previous page."
He took out the prepared charcoal powder, sprinkled the charcoal powder on the next page, and then used a bristled brush to look for marks.
Modern technology is to cover it with a special plastic film, sprinkle with toner, apply static electricity, and then use a brush to apply it evenly until the font is displayed.
Li Yan used native methods.
Fortunately, people in this era often write in their hands, holding paper in one hand and a pen in the other to splash ink.
In this way, the force is strong, leaving a mark through the paper.
Ever since, after his attempts, some vague marks did appear.
Most of the words are indiscernible, only a few are relatively clear.
Li Yan showed himself in front of Jia Sibo.
【...I...want to...be...employed...】
Jasbo looked at the fragmented words, took a breath and said, "Did you just cover it with paper and write this?"
Li Yan laughed: "You were fooled once, are you so suspicious now?"
Jia Sibo said: "In any case, since you have found out this step, it seems that the truth has been made public. Is Zhang Shouyi's death in vain?"
He grinned and laughed: "Oh, this stupid method is so stupid, I knew it wouldn't work at the time!"
Li Yan couldn't hear any joy from this laughter, but was full of sadness. He shook his head and said: "No, Zhang Shizi succeeded. There are forty-two Jinshi in this department, and thirteen are from other provinces. This is unprecedented."
Unprecedentedly, the thirty-five scholars who were poisoned all gained the attention of the saint."
Jasbo was stunned.
Li Yandao: "You caught the desperate mentality of the poor scholars and devised this plan with many flaws. If they fail, it goes without saying that if they succeed by luck and deceive the saint, they will become officials in the future."
, is also a chess piece in your hand."
"This is the same as the reason why you slandered the An family in Liangzhou before. It was not for destruction, which would harm others without benefiting oneself, but for control."
"It's a pity that you met a holy king!"
There was praise in Li Yan's tone: "The saint is benevolent. After knowing the truth, he took the initiative to make it clear that I should not continue to investigate."
Jia Sibo looked moved: "Is the saint really so magnanimous?"
How could Li Zhi tolerate this kind of incident where scholars collectively deceived the emperor?
Really? He doesn’t believe it!
Li Yan, 1510, repeated what Li Zhi said not long ago during the Holy Day.
Not a word was deleted.
At the end, he said: "You should know that even if I wanted to deceive you, I would not fabricate such a specific conversation. No one would offend someone just to interrogate a prisoner."
Jasbo was silent.
After a while, he sighed sincerely: "The treacherous ministers are in power and deceive the Sacred Heart!"
Li Yan nodded: "Yes, it is the treacherous ministers who are in power. Now the dawn has emerged, and the scholars from various states have seen hope. With your age, you could have taken the exam next year. With your wisdom, you can also govern a country in the future. The future is bright...
"
Jasbo was silent again.
Can you please stop talking!
Li Yan wanted to finish: "It's a pity that you have trapped yourself and embarked on a road of no return. Now even if you are a good person, you are not allowed to do so."
Jia Sibo finally smiled bitterly, feeling a little relieved: "Those who commit treason must be killed to serve as a warning to others. I am destined to die. I would like to thank Li Jiyi for respecting me. He is no better than those who interrogated me."
Words of forgiveness are lies and lies..."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is there anyone else coming to interrogate you these days?"
Jia Sibo smiled and said: "I can no longer see Song Yuan outside, but more people are coming. They come to interrogate one after another. Even your superior officer Qiu Ying came here!"
Li Yan felt a little strange. Qiu Ying was not busy with Jia Sibo's affairs during this period, so why did he suddenly come to interrogate him.
But we can ask about this later when we see him. The key now is that he must work hard to break through Jia Sibo's psychological defense.
It depends on His Majesty the Emperor’s sage character.
There is no way, the Confucian idea of loyalty to the emperor is engraved in the bone marrow.
As a result, Jia Sibo unconsciously beautified the lofty saint.
Obviously he felt that the court was unfair and would rather seek refuge in other countries, but he also had unrealistic illusions about the emperor.
Li Yan wanted to get something out of this extremely determined man, but other methods such as coercion and inducement didn't work.
There is only one path that sounds the most ridiculous.
Arouse the loyalty of a traitor to the emperor.
The last time I unintentionally beautified Li Zhi, this time it was more sincere and natural: "Zhang Shizi trusted the saints, so he asked for benevolence and got benevolence, and he got what he wanted. Unfortunately, his health was too bad. Is it because he took Yundan?
"
Jia Sibo shook his head: "We exchange letters once a year. Zhang Shouyi knew that this elixir was harmful at first and did not take it. However, he had to prepare for the tribute examination every year, and he had to visit various places to convince scholars from other states. After a long journey, his body could not support it at all.
In the end, I had to take Yundan to boost my energy..."
Li Yan sighed, with admiration and regret: "It's such a pity that you two failed the exam at the same time, but have embarked on completely different paths."
Jia Sibo's eyes fluctuated and he smiled: "Yes, we took different paths. The path he chose was stupid, but in the end he succeeded. It may change the future path of many people. The path I chose thought I was smart, but it turned out that
Being reduced to a prisoner below the rank is a life worse than death!"
Li Yan did not speak this time.
Liniang was in this state when she was about to give her explanation.
For people with extremely high self-esteem, the harder they are pushed, the less likely they are to relax, so they must give it some time.
As expected, Jia Sibo's tone was low and he muttered to himself: "I can't hold it any longer. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable these days. I'm afraid it won't be long before I go to see Shouyi. Although I can't tell you what he has done,
Although I am in public, I will be remembered by Jiangnan scholars, but I have become a rebel in Longyou, the Jia family has been implicated, and my countrymen will despise me for a long time, ha..."
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly. These words were similar to the ones above. It was almost impossible for a person like Jia Sibo to ramble on and say similar things.
He listened patiently and suddenly said: "The day you decided to treason, you shouldn't care about those things. Cui Shouye escorted the direct descendants of the Jia family to the capital. You also watched with cold eyes, without any fluctuation in your mood, right? Why do you care about what the locals think at this time?
you?"
Jasbo was stunned: "Yes...yes...I don't even care about my family...how can I still care about those unrelated people?"
Li Yan answered for him: "Because your roots are in Liangzhou after all. Maybe you have failed in many attempts, are deeply resentful, and have no thoughts about the Tang Dynasty. But whether you are willing to admit it or not, your roots are in Liangzhou."
, in Longyou! Just as Zhang Shouyi is willing to sacrifice his life for the future of Jiangnan, do you really not care at all about the people, things, plants and trees that you have grown up with? "
Jia Sibo thought about it carefully and smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's because I have a cold nature. I really don't care. I don't know what happened just now..."
Li Yan quickly interrupted and said categorically: "But the sage cares. The sage is wise and generous. Even if there are treacherous and sycophants around him, he still cares about the people of the world! Isn't such a wise king worthy of loyalty?"
Jasbo fell silent again.
After a while, he whispered: "Li Jiyi, please go, I want to think about it carefully."
Li Yan was not in a hurry: "Okay! Think about it slowly!"
He and Liniang spent so long, and the other party even became the Riddler at the last moment, describing Jia Sibo as "a person who originally had a bright future."
In comparison, this person is even less likely to explain easily.
Of course, he could not let anyone else interrogate Jia Sibo, otherwise it would probably have backlash.
Li Yan looked at the surrounding environment. The Dali Temple Prison was still too gloomy. It would be good to change it to the inner prison and hang it in the place where Li Sichong and the others were.
He nodded slightly and prepared to turn around and leave.
Behind him, Jia Sibo tried his best to open his eyes wide: "Li Jiyi, please light up the torch a little, I can hardly see anymore."
Li Yan's body suddenly stopped.
He looked at the bright torches on the wall, moved closer and waved: "Can you see it?"
Jia Sibo: "Can't you see...I...ah..."
He opened his mouth, but suddenly found that he couldn't speak.
Jia Sibo's expression changed drastically: "My interrogator... plotted against me..."
Li Yan rushed over and put his hand on his pulse.
"My mind is agitated... I'm obsessed! How is that possible?"
The power of this world is very similar to true energy, but it is different in some areas.
For example, since Li Yan came to this world, he has never heard of anyone practicing to the point of going crazy.
At most, it's because you can't practice it well, or your energy and blood are diverted by forced practice.
Wu Minzhi was tortured like that by him, Kumara, and Eunuch Gao, and it was only after suffering all night in the previous days that his mind collapsed.
But now, he felt that Jia Sibo's body was really going crazy, his energy was running wild, his energy and blood were disordered, and he was about to go retrograde!
Once it goes retrograde, people will definitely die!
Li Yan mobilized his pure inner elixir, and while trying to stop the retrograde Qi and blood, he shouted to the outside world: "Quickly send the imperial doctor! Imperial doctor!!"
Then he heard Jia Sibo use his last strength to squeeze out two words: "Buddhism..."
Li Yan shouted: "Invite Master Puguang from Ci'en Temple as well. Go quickly! Go quickly!!"
Then he came to Jasbo's mouth: "Tell me! Who is that person? Tell me his name!"
Jia Sibo opened his mouth and tried desperately to gather strength, but he couldn't utter a word at all.
Li Yan put the pen from his waist into his hand, but he couldn't hold it at all.
Fortunately, at this moment, the guards outside did not dare to move, but Li Qianru had already rushed out to call for help.
In just a quarter of an hour, the imperial doctor rushed to the Dali Temple Prison as quickly as possible.
However, including Liu Shenwei and Chen Yuyi, everyone's expressions changed drastically as soon as they checked their pulse: "What symptoms are these? I have never seen them before!"
Li Yan didn't dare to leave his hands, and his face gradually turned pale: "Can I use acupuncture?"
All the doctors looked at Liu Shenwei, who shook his head: "With the qi and blood surging to such an extent, acupuncture must not be used. Otherwise, if the internal qi is released, there will be no way to survive."
Li Yan said: "Is there a solution?"
Liu Shenwei said: "This seems to be a breakdown in martial arts training. Only someone with profound skills can help him. You can also ask the master, but it's too late now!"
Li Yan said solemnly: "Then we can only wait for Master Puguang!"
Ci'en Temple is far away from the Imperial City, and it took more than half an hour for Master Puguang, who was galloping on horseback, to arrive.
Li Yan's internal energy was almost exhausted, so he quickly stopped and replaced him. After Master Puguang took over, he showed a look of disbelief: "Wei Shi Jin!"
Li Yan rested on the side for a moment, his expression quickly recovered, and he said in astonishment: "Buddhism only has knowledge power? Is it the power method created by the holy monk Xuanzang?"
Master Puguang lost his soft and long light energy, and his brows were full of confusion: "No one has learned the knowledge power except my junior brother, and my junior brother has been in seclusion for several years without leaving home. Even the meals are sent by Lao Na.
How could a murderer attack him with the power of consciousness alone?"
Li Yan said: "Master, now is not the time to talk about that. Just save him first and save his life!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Master Puguang's face was ugly: "Even if it is Wei Shi Jin, it is impossible to kill people with potential, but this method is extremely vicious. Donor Jia will not die, but will become a useless person.
It has eyes but cannot see, has a mouth but cannot speak, has ears but cannot hear, the five senses are closed, and the senses are cut off.”
Li Yan was shocked: "How could this happen?"
Master Puguang explained: "Because this is originally the biggest difficulty in practicing the secret knowledge-only power. If you pass it, you will be able to achieve great power and your cultivation will reach an unimaginable level. If you cannot pass it, you will become a useless person."
"When Master taught the Dharma, I was afraid, so I turned to practice Wuliangjin. Now I can only rely on Master Jia himself..."
Li Yan knew that Master Puguang's last words were addressed to Jia Sibo.
But obviously, there is no way this guy can pass the secret test.
In this world, there is no such thing as the sudden enlightenment of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. The power cannot be restrained, and the internal destroyers are rampant, which is more terrifying than any external attack.
What Jia Sibo practiced had nothing to do with Buddhist martial arts, and his conduct as a person had no Buddhist nature. How could he pass the test?
In desperation, Li Yan could only take advantage of the fact that Jia Sibo hadn't lost the last of his consciousness, so he leaned into his ear and shouted loudly: "The people who plotted against you are among the first few people who interrogated you, right?"
Jasbo's eyes lit up slightly and he nodded.
Li Yan asked: "Do you know which number it is?"
Jia Sibo shook his head slightly.
Li Yan paused and said loudly: "Is the elixir you refined in Liangzhou a cloud elixir?"
Jasbo nodded.
Li Yan said: "Did Zhang Shouyi give you the recipe for Yundan?"
Jasbo shook his head.
Li Yan's pupils contracted.
Not Zhang Yang!
It's right to think about it. The relationship between Zhang Yang and the Jiangnan case is actually not very close.
His fiancée was the daughter of Qi County Magistrate of Dantu County. She was implicated and was assigned to Yeting. With the Zhang family's local power, Zhang Yang was able to find out the truth, but he was not a Taoist priest from Chongyunguan.
Either there is a recipe for Yun Dan, or it is unknown.
But if it weren't for Zhang Yang, Jia Sibo could secretly refine this medicine, which means...
Li Yan immediately realized: "The prescription for Yundan was given to you by the person behind you. The case of Yundan will not be resolved, but Poppy...that person still has the mysterious ointment in his hand, right?"
Jasbo nodded slightly.
The sound in my ears completely disappeared.
He had no response to the next question.
Consciousness keeps sinking, sinking.
In a daze, I went back to five years ago.
That year, when he first arrived in Chang'an, he stayed at an inn and was placed in a room with the highest humidity.
While they were cleaning up the house, a thin scholar with a bright smile walked in and introduced himself: "Zhang Yang, whose courtesy name is Shouyi!"
Wearing a moon-white robe, he stood up and said politely and distantly: "Jia Sibo, whose courtesy name is Shilin."
That was the first time the two met.
Gradually.
Together, the two of them presented poems to various dignitaries and asked them to write scrolls.
The two participated in cultural gatherings together, recited poems and composed poems, and gained reputation.
useless.
Still failed.
The two were indignant at the injustice of the court, humiliated by the cold eyes of the powerful, and looked forward to changes in the future.
No.
He was already despairing about the imperial examination and had some idea in his mind.
If you don’t give it to me, then I will come and get it myself!
But Zhang Yang remained steadfast, but occasionally he would drink to drown his sorrows, mentioning that he had a great grudge and it was difficult to get revenge.
He paid attention, and finally, after being drunk, he got out of the bloody sea of Jiangnan case.
After getting the truth, he was very disappointed because the matter involved too much and was not easy to use.
But based on the Jiangnan case, another plan was devised.
It's just that the plan wasn't complete yet, but when Zhang Yang heard about it, he actually paid attention to it and put it into action.
The two said goodbye outside Tonghua Gate, and heavy snow fell from the sky.
The horses' hooves stepped on the snow, and the two of them galloped towards different roads.
Lopsided.
In the next few years, he never went to Chang'an again, and there was no chance of meeting him. We only exchanged letters.
Since Zhang Yang was always on the road, he could only receive letters during the tribute ceremony every year.
But it was just these few letters exchanged, and he was shocked when he saw the names being added to the list.
Would anyone really do such a plan that is full of loopholes and unsustainable in the future?
Is it really done?
Doesn’t Zhang Yang know that the initiator must die?
When everyone dies, everything ends!
However, after getting this inspiration, he also planned the assassination of the ambassador in Liangzhou.
The Tibetan ambassador remembered Zenggu and also died without hesitation.
Oh, it turns out there are so many stupid people in the world!
Stupid...
Stupid!!
Suddenly, it was back to the time of saying goodbye outside Tonghua Gate.
Jia Sibo reined in the horse's rope, turned the horse's head, and shouted loudly: "Zhang Shouyi, I also want to go your way..."
Zhang Yang turned around and smiled brightly: "Come on!"
Jasbo rode his horse to catch up, and the two of them disappeared into the wind and snow side by side.
…
Inside the Dali Temple Prison.
When Jia Sibo opened his eyes, there was no trace of energy in them anymore.
Master Puguang shook his head and whispered: "The living dead."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes, stood up and walked out, thinking silently.
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky.
Snowflakes actually fell at this time of year.
He stretched out his hand and watched the crystal snowflakes fall on his palm, immediately melted by his body temperature.
[Event: Immortal Dream (Case Closed)]
【Achievement Points 600】
The two major cases surrounding Yundan have indeed ended, but new challenges have followed.
Footsteps sounded, and a group of people came behind.
He opened his mouth and said:
"The person who silenced Jia Sibo was among the officials who were interrogating him for a long time. There is no doubt that the traitor behind him is desperate!"
"The danger of this person is beyond imagination, but the more he does, the more mistakes he makes!"
"Everyone, let's have a good fight with this thief!"
Di Renjie, Qiu Shenji, Wang Xiaojie, Guo Yuanzhen, An Shengan, and Peng Botong responded: "Yes!"
Li Yan nodded and looked at Li Qianru who was not far away, thinking of the veterans of the Weiguo Palace and Ming Chongyan in Xuandu Temple.
Perhaps there are also Miao Shenke, a bachelor from the North Gate, and Ziwei Wei, a new scholar from the new department...
Unknowingly, my team is also growing.
The world is hard and rugged.
But I like my own way very much.
Then keep going!
…

The third volume "Dream of Agelessness" is over, please look forward to the next volume "Ask the Common People".
