Chapter 70 Old Cases

After Zhang Yu returned to Ruiguang, he first went to the Customs Department under the Administrative Office to hand over the mission. Because all the officials here were appointed by the teachers and academic orders of the Academy, there was no need to give separate instructions later.

After staying here for more than a summer, he came out and went to the bank office to take out the rich gold coins he had obtained by killing Yao Xiang.

It was not until noon that he returned to his residence in the Academy.

Now, as a scholar, that is, a teacher in the usual sense, he is eligible for a more spacious house. However, he thinks that his place is pretty good. No one will disturb him and the environment is relatively familiar, so he does not

Need to replace it again.

Li Qinghe had received the news when he got off the pier and had been waiting outside the door. When he saw him coming back, he saluted him and said, "Sir, he is back. Hot water and soup are already prepared at home."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything going on while I'm away?"

Li Qinghe said: "There is nothing special. The manuscripts that Mr. Sir left behind were sent to Hanmo Newspaper Office as instructed in advance. The Zaku has sent medicinal bones three times this month, and Qinghe kept them intact with Mr.

In the study room."

Zhang Yu said hello and walked into the house.

At this moment, an ocelot appeared from behind him, looked around, and then scurried up to the top of the table. With its tail raised, it opened its eyes and looked around curiously. After a while, it jumped a few times on top of the counter.

, jumped into a big bamboo hanging under the high window, shook it, poked his head out, and called Zhang Yumiao.

Zhang Yu took a look and said: "Okay, this place is yours." Then he said to Li Qinghe: "Qinghe, you can lay a layer of soft cushions in the basket later and prepare some powder for it.

Don’t take too many crushed pill pills, half a tael is enough, just feed it once a day.”

Li Qinghe said: "Yes, sir." He asked again, "Sir, does this little thing have a name?"

The little ocelot heard him calling him a little thing and barked dissatisfiedly at him.

Zhang Yu thought for a while and said: "It likes to eat elixirs and is very understanding of human nature. It is also a leopard cat and the lord of the mountains, so let's call it 'Miao Danjun'." After explaining, he went all the way to the study.

As soon as he entered this place, he suddenly felt a stream of heat coming from him. The source was undoubtedly on those packets of medicinal bones, but he also found that compared to the last few times, the source energy this time was much less.

The total of these three packages is not as good as before.

He guessed that maybe the excavation of the strange bone fragments was almost finished.

He did not open it immediately to check, but took out a brochure bag from the bookcase, poured everything out, and finally fell out of a jade pendant with the word "Qiu" with blood stains on it.

He picked it up, looked at it, and stamped it on a piece of printing paper. Then he took the pen and paper, and after a while, he wrote a document. He picked it up, looked at it, and after seeing if there were any errors or omissions, he put it into the letter.

In the box, he called Li Qinghe in again and said, "Qinghe, please send this letter box and this jade pendant rubbing to Hanmo Newspaper Company for me."

Li Qinghe bowed, took the things and went out.

In a secluded courtyard southwest of the academy, Qiu Xueling was holding a teacup and admiring flowers in the garden. Not far away, there was a painter he specially invited, who was adding color to the flowers on the canvas.

At this time, an assistant came over and said: "Xue Ling, Master Zhan is here and wants to see you."

"Zhitong, I heard that he made a very ugly and embarrassing situation in that barbarian tribe this time..."

Qiu Xueling put down the tea cup and rubbed his hands. Immediately, a waitress brought the face plate over. He stretched out his hand to wash it, then wiped it clean with a white cloth and said, "Go and return the apprenticeship sticker on my table."

Him, tell him that he will no longer be my student and I can't control him."

The assistant said yes and did as Qiu Xueling ordered.

After a long while, he turned back and said, "Xue Ling, the things have been given to him."

Qiu Xueling opened the lid of the tea, took a few puffs, and said, "What did he say?"

The assistant said: "Zhan Shaolang took the invitation and left without saying anything."

Qiu Xueling paused slightly, narrowed his eyes and said, "I know the current affairs very well. It seems I can afford to lose."

The assistant said: "Xue Ling, if we do this, are we..."

Qiu Xueling laughed and said: "I know Mr. Zhan. He values ​​his little son very much. If nothing happens to him, then we can still live in harmony. If something happens, he will definitely find a way to let others go."

If he comes out to top the tank, it's not him, it's me. Do you think I dare to keep his son by my side? It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."

The assistant whispered: "But Mr. Zhan is still young. If he holds a grudge..."

Qiu Xueling said leisurely: "So, we can't let him stand up. You go to Xie Miaobi of Linning Newspaper Agency and publish the news that I fired him from school. Also, it must be written in it that I am not because of Zhan Zhitong."

I made this decision after doing something wrong..."

He put down the tea cup, looked solemn, and sat upright, "It's because I have never taught him the language of the Hardclaw tribe before, and he has never traveled near Anshan. All the language of the Hardclaw tribe he has learned,

I learned them all from Assistant Professor Zhang, no, Teacher Zhang, and even used my reputation to glorify myself.

I was deceived by him too!

I would like to ask, can I stay with such a shameless student? Do I dare to stay with you? It's a pity that I only paid attention to his talents but ignored his virtues. I really don't deserve the trust of Mr. Zhan!"

The further he talked, the louder his voice became, and he looked distressed.

The assistant said with emotion: "It is really not easy to learn the order."

"By the way, you also need to write a letter of apology," Qiu Xueling pointed with his finger, "I apologize to Teacher Zhang for me. It is precisely because of my lax discipline that I have such a student who specializes in evil ways. I will definitely do it someday."

I came to apologize to him."

The assistant raised his thumb and said: "The academic order is brilliant. After Teacher Zhang finds out about this, he will not let go of Master Zhan, right?"

Qiu Xueling took another sip of tea, let out a sigh of relief, put the tea cup on the side table, and said: "Let the two of them fight, we can just watch the show outside."

After hearing the explanation, the assistant went out to do the work.

At night, he came back smelling a little drunk and said: "Xue Ling, the matter is done. Xie Miaobi said that it will be published no later than tomorrow afternoon. I promise not to make it difficult for you, sir."

"well."

Qiu Xueling got rid of a trouble and went back to rest with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, in Taiyang Academy, Boxue Hall.

Liu Guang came to the spacious public hall and took out a few of today's newspapers from the newspaper tube to read. The recent newspapers of Hanmo Newspaper were very interesting. They often published some articles involving the identification of antiquities. They were not only popular and interesting, but also interesting.

Get rid of ignorance.

He could conclude that even if this "Tao Sheng" was not a major in ancient natural history, he must have studied this knowledge, because the things involved here were definitely not something ordinary people could write about.

But today, his attention was attracted by another article.

What is written above is an old case from sixty years ago.

Sixty years ago, with the revival of the ancient Kingdom of Xueyang, the Duhufu ordered full mobilization in order to cope with the bad situation. All Tianxia adult men under the age of sixty and in good health had to go to the battlefield.

A young teacher was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he paid for a man named Caisheng, who had a missing toe and was 70% similar in appearance to himself, and asked him to go in his place.

When he saw this, although he was not ashamed of this man's behavior, his mood did not fluctuate much. After all, there was more than one person who wanted to escape military service at that time.

But then things developed beyond his imagination. He didn't expect that the lower limit of human beings could be so low.

This young teacher actually had an affair with Caisheng's An Ren wife while Caisheng was reporting for military service.

Perhaps because he is somewhat similar to Caisheng, sometimes the two of them hang out together during the day.

However, a neighbor's child recognized that he was not Caisheng. One night when he saw the two meeting in private, he imitated Caisheng's voice and came to call the door in the middle of the night.

The young teacher thought that he was coming back from the labor camp. He was so frightened that he jumped out of the window and ran away. As a result, he broke a leg and climbed on a horse to escape home.

But after returning home, he found that his jade pendant was lost at Caisheng's house. He was very scared, so he asked one of his assistants to go and ask for it. Because he was afraid that others would know, he told him to go to Caisheng's house at night, get the jade pendant and come back.

After the assistant left, because the knock on the door was a signal, Caisheng's wife thought it was the young teacher who had arrived again, so she opened the door to let him in.

Coincidentally, Caisheng got a settlement fee because he successfully passed the military service. Because he missed his wife, he returned home in the middle of the night and wanted to send the money home. However, he happened to bump into the two of them and mistakenly thought that they were having an affair.

, in anger, he killed the two of them with the sword issued by the army, and finally committed suicide.

Because the war was about to begin and people were in a panic, the Sikou Yamen Office briefly inspected the case, collected the evidence, and closed the case in a hurry.

After the young teacher learned about this, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he accused the assistant of stealing his things and kicked out the assistant's wife and children who were living in his home. However, because he had a broken leg, he escaped.

The tragic battle at Honghe Pass.

The newspaper did not say who the young teacher was, and Caisheng also used a pseudonym. He just printed the rubbing of the jade pendant in the newspaper.

When Liu Guang saw this, he already knew it in his heart.

There were not many Tianxia people who could survive that battle sixty years ago, and even fewer of them were teachers.

But there was only one person who left the service with a broken leg.

He looked at the rubbing of the jade pendant again and immediately recognized it. It was clearly the character "Qiu"!

He couldn't help but sneer a few times, and looked at the newspaper again. It seemed like there were stains on it, and he wanted to throw it away immediately, but after thinking about it, he rolled it up and stuffed it back into the newspaper tube in the public hall.

Ruiguang City, Qiu Mansion.

There was a rapid knock on the door in Qiu Xueling's bedroom.

"Xue Ling, Xue Ling!"

Qiu Xueling was still sleeping at this time. He woke up when someone pushed him, and then he realized that it was already bright. It seemed that he had used too much tranquilizing powder before going to bed yesterday.

He woke up and said, "What's going on? Come in."

The assistant opened the door, holding a newspaper in his hand, and rushed to the window and said: "Xue Ling, newspaper, newspaper, many people came over in the morning to ask about this matter, asking if it is related to the Xue Ling...

"

"Oh, has the newspaper come out?"

Qiu Xueling's face moved slightly. He sat up half-way with the help of an assistant and took the newspaper. However, when he opened it and saw the content on it, his eyes couldn't help but widen, his lips kept trembling, and his hands started to shake.

He shouted in a voice full of fear and anger: "Slander, slander! This is slander!"

After a few calls, he found that he was out of breath and lay down weakly. Then he pointed outside and said weakly: "Quick, quick, go find Lin Miaobi from Hanmo Newspaper Office and ask him..."

wrong!

He suddenly discovered that he was not mentioned in the entire article. If he took the initiative to request its retraction, wouldn't that be self-inflicted?

"me……"

He only felt a mouthful of phlegm blocking his throat, but he couldn't get it out. At the same time, he felt dizzy and nauseated.

At this moment, another servant ran in from outside in a panic and shouted: "No, sir, someone from the Sikou Yamen Office is here. They want to ask you about an old case. Sir... Sir? Sir?"
