When Pei Sijian, the governor of Liangzhou, arrived after hearing the news, Li Yan had become approachable again and was checking the extra achievement points.
[Event: Mission Mystery Case (Case Closed)]
【Achievement Points 300】
This added another wave of fees to his depleted achievement points.
Facts have proved that hard work is still useful.
Solve a major case and get a huge one-time achievement reward.
Beautiful.
When the leader arrived, he naturally had to report on his work. Li Yan specially invited Qiu Shenji to emphasize his contribution.
After hearing what Qiu Shenji did, Pei Sijian's eyes flashed with disgust, and he nodded and said: "In order to get rid of this traitor in Liangzhou, Qiu Xunji has done a great service. I will definitely report it to the saint."
Qiu Shenji tried hard to suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He stood behind Li Yan and hugged the big thick leg tightly: "Everything was done by Li Wuwei after he saw through the murderer's face and he did his humble job. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
Pei Sijian nodded slightly: "Take me to see the prisoner."
The three of them entered the inner prison together and came to the deepest part, which was in front of the cell where Liniang was imprisoned in the past.
Looking inside, he saw Jasbo lying on the ground with his clothes on, and he was already asleep.
Qiu Shenji's face darkened: "This sly-eyed person has no royal authority and is extremely arrogant!"
Pei Sijian said: "The Jia family in Wuwei has strong branches and weak masters. Their power has declined and the situation has declined. The family has experienced ups and downs, and the pressure it has endured is not known to the outside world."
"This Jia Shilin is a rare talent, but unfortunately he only knows that he has a family and not a country. He should impose strict laws to warn the world!"
Li Yan listened and realized that the situation of Jia family in Wuwei was really not good.
The most prosperous period of this family was the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it had declined in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty was in decline.
Today's Jia family has four branches, two of which are relatively noble.
Yifang is located in Yuanju, Caozhou (Cao County, Shandong), and produced the brothers Jia Dunzhu and Jia Dunshi. The former followed Li Yuan to participate in Jinyang's military uprising, assisted the princes, and governed the prefectures and counties. The latter became a Jinshi and is still alive today and is about to take office.
Governor;
Yifang is located in Fuyang (Cangxian County, Hebei Province). At present, there are several Ming Dynasty scholars who are serving in the court. This lineage later produced Prime Minister Jia Dan, who was a very powerful geographer.
In comparison, there are no prominent figures in the main house of Wuwei, and the largest official is only seventh grade, which is very embarrassing.
No wonder Jia Sibo was so persistent in the imperial examination and wanted to use knowledge to change his destiny. However, he failed the exam three times and was completely desperate.
"It was supposed to have a bright future..."
Li Yan remembered Liniang's comment.
Jia Sibo's betrayal is a bit like the two famous traitors in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao.
These two people also failed the imperial examination and defected to Xixia in anger, causing great trouble to the Song Dynasty. It is said that they also reformed the system of elimination at the end of the imperial examination.
This kind of people have a family but no country. The higher their intelligence, the greater the harm.
But having said that, the imperial examination and official selection system at this stage in the early Tang Dynasty was indeed unfair at all.
Not only that almost all Jinshi candidates are accepted by the Second Academy and Sixth School, but the waiting time for Ming Jing Ke to be selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also very long, with an average of five to seven years.
You must know that this subject is not easy to pass, and the competition is hundreds of times more difficult than the national examination in later generations. It is difficult to pass, and you have to stay at home for five years, or even ten years at the longest, and no one can bear to be given a job again.
In comparison, Jinshi will have a much better time waiting for officials to be selected. Generally, they can get an official position in two years, and they will be promoted faster later.
This is why the saying "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi" gradually came into being. In addition to the difficulty, there is also a comparison of the age when becoming an official.
"Thinking about it this way, the internal guard position is really a welfare position. Apart from having to risk one's life, it has other benefits!"
Inspired by the murderer's experience, Li Yan suddenly became full of enthusiasm for his work.
Pei Sijian still looked at Jia Sibo and thought quietly: "Whether it is transferring Magistrate Cui to Liangzhou or letting Chang'an receive information about the chaos in Liangzhou, it is not something that Jia Shilin can influence. Yuanfang, as you decide
See you there?"
Li Yan thought for a while and said: "What Mr. Pei said is true. There must be a huge conspiracy behind this matter!"
Pei Sijian smiled and said, "You have a difficult background. You have developed the habit of caution at a young age."
"But this is a good thing. Don't be proud and conceited. You can go further. Let's talk about Chang'an after we return to Chang'an!"
Qiu Shenji did not dare to interrupt what the two bosses were saying, but he listened with his ears straightened.
He understood Pei Sijian's subtext that the Liangzhou case was over, but the matter was not over yet.
Is the next big enemy in Chang'an City?
That must be a more magnificent struggle!
Qiu Shenji, who had tasted the benefits of meritorious service, was excited and full of energy for his work.
Different paths lead to the same destination.
Finally it was all rolled up.
…
Three days later.
In front of the tombs of Brother Fu and Liniang.
Li Yan burned a stick of incense and stood silently.
An Zhongjing stood on the side and said: "I asked Lieutenant Kang County to release Shi Ming directly."
Li Yan looked at him.
An Zhongjing smiled bitterly and said: "It feels so bad to be framed. After all, Shi Ming did not kill Brother Fu, so let's give him a way to go."
Li Yan nodded: "That's how it should be."
An Zhongjing said again: "Yuanfang, I want to go back to Chang'an before you."
Li Yan smiled: "Have you figured it out?"
An Zhongjing said: "Yes, I don't want to just rely on my ancestral influence and be an idle dude. I want to go back to school and learn martial arts. If I can defend one side and resist foreign enemies in the future, I will be worthy of this life!"
Li Yan was very happy: "Don't talk about the distance yet. You go to Chang'an first. When I arrive, you must receive me well!"
An Zhongjing was dumbfounded: "You will have returned to the Duke's residence by then, and you still want me to receive you?"
However, he bowed seriously again: "I will never forget Yuan Fang's great kindness to the An family, but if necessary, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Li Yan laughed and said: "Okay, let's get promoted faster than me first, but then my official will be higher than you, how can you repay me properly?"
An Zhongjing relaxed, clenched his fists, and swore silently in his heart.
In order to repay this kindness, he must also achieve some achievements.
Li Yan opened his arms and the two of them hugged each other hard.
"Cherish!" "Cherish!"
After bidding farewell to An Zhongjing and leaving, Li Yan passed by the school, looked at Kangda who was making his final sprint inside, silently wished him a smooth passage, and finally walked towards home.
Since his home was burned down by a black-clad killer, Li Yan went back to sleep less and less at night, and sometimes stayed in the inner guard at night.
But I still find time to go back every day to see and practice martial arts with Uncle Mute.
Because he had an inexplicable feeling that this master was also going to leave him.
Unlike An Zhongjing, they do not have the same destination.
Sure enough, looking at Uncle Mute who was packing his luggage under the apricot tree, Li Yan looked sad: "Master, are you leaving?"
Uncle Dumb nodded slightly.
His apprentice's martial arts never worried him, but his attitude towards things was a bit worrying, and he always felt a slight alienation from the world.
Although they are integrating a little bit, there is still a layer of separation after all.
It was only these days that Li Yan no longer felt that way in his eyes.
This means that the disciple has grown up completely and can be independent.
He can also set off with peace of mind.
Li Yan stepped forward and hugged Uncle Mute gently: "Master, one day, no matter where you go, you will hear my reputation and be proud of it. That is the disciple I taught!"
Uncle Ya smiled, patted his back with his palm, and said silently in his heart: "I'm looking forward to being my teacher! Yuanfang, we will meet again!"
Seeing Uncle Mute's free and easy back, Li Yan stood quietly for a moment, waved, and the lion Cong carried Xiao Hei behind him.
He looked around, looking at the place where he grew up but was new to this place, got on his horse and ran towards a wider world.
"drive!!"
