Chapter 157 Qiu Shenji’s name can stop evil people from crying
"Presumptuous! How dare you slander the prime minister!!"
Li Shouyi didn't hear clearly what Guo Yuanzhen said, but the scholar next to him became furious and jumped up first.
Only then did Li Shouyi realize that Guo Yuanzhen had just said that his father was paralyzed. He was startled, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Guo Yuanzhen's nose: "How dare you, a young official in green robe, to make such nonsense?
I can’t keep my official robe, you know I can’t keep it!”
When he first heard these words, Li Shouyi was really scared. After all, Li Jingxuan was not young.
But if something happened to his father's health, the stewards of the family would have come to the school to take him back. How could there be no news?
Thinking like this, he was only angry. Cursing was not enough, and he actually wanted to slap him: "You curse my father, how can I, as the son of man, tolerate you!!"
Guo Yuanzhen stepped back, with a half-smile on his face: "Li Langjun misunderstood, I'm not cursing Li Shilang, I'm just telling the truth, by the way, your brother Li Sichong has been imprisoned and convicted, and will be executed soon, do you know?"
The air became quiet.
All the scholars stopped scolding and looked at Guo Yuanzhen as if they were a madman.
Why didn't you say that the saint wanted to destroy Li Jingxuan's entire family?
I need to make a decent one too!
Li Shouyi stopped fighting and waved his hand: "Get him! Get him!"
However, it was also quiet on the other side.
Guo Yuanzhen is looking for fun.
Not to mention the inspectors under his command, who were silent but also quite happy in their hearts.
Even Dr. Kong looked over with pity.
Gradually, the faces of all the scholars changed.
It's okay for one person to go crazy and talk nonsense, but how can a group of people go crazy at the same time?
The inner guard does not enter casually, there must be a way!
What's more, there is Medical Assistant Kong. This is the Medical Assistant of the Imperial Medical Office. How dare you slander the prime minister of the dynasty?
Could it be...
Is what this person said true?
Li Shouyi also realized this, but he didn't believe it at all: "My brother is in prison, who dares to arrest him? How many days have it been? How could so many things happen?"
Li Yan outside the house could understand the absurdity in Li Shouyi's heart.
Everything was turned upside down outside, but it only lasted less than ten days.
He investigated the case for ten days and found that Wu Minzhi was missing.
He investigated the case for ten days, and Li Jingxuan was finished.
The powerful people in Chang'an are trembling, please stop investigating the case!
Guo Yuanzhen's face in the room darkened, and he also gained a bit of dignity: "Li Shouyi, you will know something happened in your family when you get back. Please answer me quickly now and don't make a mistake! The elixir you are taking was sold to you by Zhang Shizi on his own initiative, or by you."
Snatched from him?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of other scholars in the room became wandering, and some even lowered their heads.
The answer was already obvious, but Li Shouyi subconsciously argued: "He... gave it to us!"
Guo Yuanzhen sneered: "Zhang Shizi sells pills to scholars from other provinces for ten guan of gold. This price is still very cheap. If it were you, it would be like giving it away?"
Li Shouyi muttered: "He just wants to curry favor with me. There are so many people like him, so what's the surprise?"
The status of a concubine's son is very embarrassing. In the Li family, Li Shouyi is probably someone whom his grandma does not care for and his uncle does not love, otherwise he would not live in the school building.
But here, with the support of all the scholars, he turned into a being who could control the wind and rain, and no one dared to provoke him. Over time, he also expanded.
Guo Yuanzhen said coldly: "Li Shouyi, you have to think clearly. What you said is used as testimony. Once you lie, it means you are suspected in this case!"
Li Shou's expression changed slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he still said firmly: "When he gave the pill, he said it was a gift. I didn't lie about that."
Guo Yuanzhen immediately scolded: "Then did you bully Zhang Shizi or beat him? No one can hide your little cleverness from anyone. If you force him to say that he will give you away, can that be called a gift!!"
Li Shouyi narrowed his eyes and was finally irritated by the interrogating tone: "You are just a green-robed junior official..."
Guo Yuanzhen said nothing more and waved his hand: "Take it!"
Two powerful inspectors immediately walked out and grabbed Li Shouyi.
Li Shouyi's expression changed dramatically, he stood up and backed away: "How dare you! My father is the Minister of the West! Let's see who dares... Oops!!"
Seeing the inspector directly clasping his shoulders and escorting him over, Guo Yuanzhen sneered: "If you are honest, there is no need to lie to cover it up. You must have evil intentions. Li Shouyi, I am arresting you as a suspect in the scholar's poisoning case!"
Li Shouyi screamed: "How can you falsely accuse me? Let go...ah!!"
It was useless to say anything, he had already been dragged out.
All the scholars were so silent that no one dared to come forward, but Guo Yuanzhen did not let go: "It's your turn, Doctor Kong, please explain to them first what happened outside in the past few days, I think they will be able to respond properly.
!”
After hearing the trial of the Jiangnan murder case and the rumors about Li Jingxuan, the sergeant in Beijing immediately realized that the prime minister was going to fall.
His attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and he started to mutter: "It's all what Mr. Li Xiaolang told me to do!" "We have no choice but to follow him to bully Zhang Shizi!" "Yes, yes!"
Anger appeared in Guo Yuanzhen's eyes: "Did you find Zhang Shizi, or did Zhang Shizi find you? One person said, don't talk at all times!"
Everyone recommended one person to come forward: "When I returned to Wuwei, it was Mr. Li Xiaolang who approached Zhang Shouyi. He heard that Zhang Shouyi had taken the elixir, his literary thoughts were like a spring, and his writing standards were far higher than before, so he coveted Zhang Shouyi, but Zhang Shouyi was unwilling.
After selling the elixir, I coerced and coerced him, and finally I got the elixir."
Guo Yuanzhen said: "Where did this news come from? If the elixir is really so good as rumored, why are only you people buying it?"
The scholar in Beijing said: "I learned about this elixir by chance when I overheard a conversation between two scholars from outside the state. They kept it a secret and did not want to tell outsiders. Zhang Shouyi also made it clear that the elixir was limited, so he gave it to us.
It cannot be given to scholars from other states."
Guo Yuanzhen's eyes flashed: "Are you sure? Is it possible that Zhang Shizi is playing hard to get? He just wanted to sell medicine to you, but he deliberately refused at first?"
Jingnei Shizi was startled, thought carefully, and slowly shook his head: "It really doesn't look like it. He was holding the box and refused to put it away. It was Mr. Li Xiaolang who did it himself. I just grabbed the elixir, and the result... Alas! It's early.
If you know it, you won’t rob it…”
Guo Yuanzhen looked at this group of people with disgust.
There are two schools and six schools in Chang'an. The second hall is the Hongwen School and the Chongxian School. They are the places where the top students go to, and most of the Jinshi come from them.
The six schools, which are relatively low-level, are Guozixue, Taixue, Four Schools, Legal Studies, Calligraphy, and Arithmetic, which are affiliated to the Imperial College.
The students here can get ahead if they work hard enough, at least they are much better than those who come all the way from other states.
Therefore, the thirty-five poisoned persons from other states were very innocent, but these six scholars did not deserve sympathy.
Guo Yuanzhen asked for a few more details and asked the recorder to submit their confession. Everyone signed and stamped their names to prove that what they said was correct.
Seeing the end of the inquiry, some scholars hurriedly stepped aside as if they had received an amnesty, while others did not give up the opportunity and came over to get close to him: "Guo Wuwei, I recognize you. You were originally a scholar, but now you have become an official to serve the country.
, what a great joy!”
"Guo Wuwei is mighty and has a bright future. We would like to write an article praising him. Can you please give me a favor and get drunk today?"
Looking at the flattering faces, Guo Yuanzhen knew that this would offend others, but he couldn't help but spit on the ground: "I'm almost in the same class as you, what a shame!"
After that, he felt at ease and turned around to leave.
After leaving the house, he saw Li Yan standing outside, looking at Li Shouyi calmly.
And the prime minister's son, who was so arrogant just now, turned pale with fear.
The fifth-grade Fei Pao and the eighth- and ninth-grade Qingpao are completely different concepts. As a commoner, he stood in front of Li Yan and did not dare to move.
Guo Yuanzhen stepped forward and said in surprise: "Liu Lang, I just lost control..."
"Yuan Zhen, you scolded me very well, but don't just give me a headache. Bullies like this should be watched carefully afterward!"
Li Yan reminded: "Look for the flying money. Zhang Yang's missing flying money may also be in their hands."
Guo Yuanzhen suddenly realized what he was doing and returned immediately. Li Shouyi's expression immediately changed and his eyes rolled around.
As expected, Guo Yuanzhen led someone into the house and came out not long after with two pieces of flying money: "What a bunch of bad guys. Li Sichong killed people indiscriminately. At such a young age, he bullied his fellow students to such an extent. It's simply hateful!"
"
Li Yan was a little amused by his old-fashioned tone, but he agreed very much with the description of a bunch of bad guys, and waved his hand: "This person is indeed suspected, take him to the inner prison for interrogation!"
Li Shouyi quickly shouted: "It's wrong! It's wrong! I was just playing around with Zhang Shouyi! I have been poisoned myself, how could I poison him?"
When he heard the word "joking", Li Yan's eyes were slightly cold, but he was not swayed by his emotions. He asked: "Tell me the story of how you robbed Zhang Shizi's elixir in detail, and there must be no lies!"
Li Shouyi's statement was not much different from what was said in the room: "I heard that Zhang Shouyi took the elixir and his thoughts were like a spring. I also read the article he wrote. It is indeed a masterpiece. If I have this elixir, I can go to high school."
Go find him to buy medicine..."
His face was full of injustice: "I really didn't want to rob him at first. I told him my family background and was even willing to offer him twenty coins a piece. My price was twice as high as others. Isn't that sincere enough? But Zhang Shouyi chose to do it.
He refused to sell it, so out of desperation, I led people to surround him, but he insisted on holding on to the medicine and refused to give him the medicine, so we beat him..."
Guo Yuanzhen waved the money in his hand: "Then you robbed him of his flying money?"
Li Shou shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't steal the flying money. I found it later in my house. I don't know who did it..."
Guo Yuanzhen sneered: "Since you discovered it, why didn't you return it?"
Li Shouyi said confidently: "He is already dead, how can I pay him back?"
Guo Yuanzhen was so angry that he kicked him over: "You beat him, robbed his pills, and robbed his money, but you said it was just a joke? Come on, I'll have a joke with you too!"
Li Shouyi squatted on the ground and huddled up: "Don't hit me! I don't dare! I won't dare anymore!"
Li Yan said calmly: "You will do it again because you are just afraid of stronger violence and don't feel that you have made any mistakes."
Guo Yuanzhen sneered and whispered in Li Shouyi's ear.
After saying this, he lifted Li Shouyi up abruptly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see Brother Qiu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his hand suddenly sank. Guo Yuanzhen sneered and threw the mud on the ground:
"Brother Qiu's name can stop evil people from crying and make them faint!"
