Chapter 604: Anyone who doesnt envy me is a murderer!
"I'm ready!"
Zhao Mingcheng put down his notes, with sincere envy in his eyes.
He comes from a scholarly family. His father, Zhao Tingzhi, was a Jinshi in high school and held important positions. Now he is the minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the censor Zhongcheng. He has the qualifications of a prime minister. Growing up in such an environment, he undoubtedly has everything he needs. Among the imperial students
He is also an existence that is flattered by others.
But now, he is very keen on the talent of this martial artist. With such an unforgettable ability, if it is given to him, wouldn't it be easy to get the number one scholar, and he will become the world's literary sect and be respected by all people?
Faced with this dream, Li Yan said something he still couldn't understand: "This can actually be learned..."
Then he turned to Dr. Taixue, who was holding on to his sleeve and not letting go, shaking his head: "Dr. Yu is too praised. I am also willing to pass on the teachings of saints. However, Taixue has its own rules and regulations, but it is inconvenient to make exceptions."
Dr. Yu smiled very cordially, as if facing the future number one scholar, he still wanted to call his husband the future number one scholar: "It's not an exception, it's not an exception. Lin Langjun can start as a student in a foreign school and gradually rise to the top!"
"
Since Wang Anshi's reform, the students of Taixue have been divided into external students, internal students and upper students. Currently, among the students of Taixue, there are 2,000 external students, 300 internal students, and only one upper student.
Hundreds of people, and Dr. Yu was full of confidence in the person in front of him: "As long as Mr. Lin enrolls in school, he will soon complete all the credits and become a student of Shangshe."
When Li Yan heard about the credits, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic. Since Wang Anshi's reform, the credit system of Taixue is somewhat similar to that of later universities. It consists of monthly credits, quarterly calibration, annual calibration, and annual exam credits. The decision
The system for students' promotion, study abroad, and withdrawal from school is very strict.
Wang Anshi even thought about the allocation of packages. In his plan, when the time is right, the imperial examination will be abolished and replaced by this method of step-by-step promotion within the school. The students who are finally promoted to Shangshe will be Jinshi, Jie Brown
Enter officialdom.
Wang Anshi's reform failed, and this follow-up plan seemed even more impossible to implement, but he probably didn't expect that someone would actually implement it later. This person was named Zhao Ji.
After Li Yan withdrew the idea of allocating credits and packages, he said to Dr. Yu: "Let's put love first and give justice to the innocent before talking about anything else."
Dr. Yu had already made up his mind to bring this kind of talent back to the right path of Confucianism and never let him become a warrior. He nodded: "That's fine..."
Seeing that the two of them had finally finished talking, Gao Qiu walked over in three steps and two steps at a time: "Mr. Lin, we finally meet!"
Gao Qiu and Ding Run were whispering beside each other just now. Others may not notice it, but Li Yan opened his ears and listened in all directions. He had already heard a general idea. At this time, he officially looked at Lin Chong's biggest rival, perhaps also except Tong Tong.
Guanwai's most loyal dog to Zhao Ji: "Who is this official?"
Ding Run introduced: "This is the Imperial City Secretary who has high standards. He is a warm-hearted person, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Mr. Lin might as well get to know him."
Li Yan said: "It turns out it's Gao Tidian. Gao Tidian went to the hospital before and Dr. An told me. Is this also because of this?"
Gao Qiu's smile was sincere and full of emotion: "Not only Yuzi, but I have heard Mr. Lin's name for a long time and have long wanted to invite him to a banquet in Fanlou, but I am busy with official duties and have no chance! This time 'Zuo Ming' is evil, it is just right
Facilitating the meeting was the only good thing this rebel did! Haha!"
Li Yan nodded: "It's too polite to be polite."
Gao Qiu knew that he had already seemed overly enthusiastic when they first met, but he had climbed up from the bottom, and now the first thing was to secure his position. He was more open-minded to those who needed him than those who were officials.
He grabbed Li Yan's sleeve and said repeatedly: "Young Master Lin, don't believe it. I already knew that the young master had a genius, and I wasn't surprised at all when I met him just now. Is it like we felt like old friends at first sight? Isn't it a bit destined?"
If the scene changed and the two of them became brothers of the opposite sex, it would not be out of the ordinary. Li Yan couldn't help but laugh: "It is indeed a bit destined."
Gao Qiu was secretly proud that he had obviously left a good first impression on the other party, so he started to introduce the topic: "I wonder if there are any clues to the murderer in what Mr. Lin has seen so far?"
Li Yan looked at Ding Run, and Ding Run felt warm in his heart. He felt that this person was really loyal. The person he invited was completely on his side, and he quickly nodded his double chin.
Li Yan looked away and said, "No."
Gao Qiu: "..."
Ding Run: "..."
Li Yan explained: "I just came here. Although I have a preliminary understanding of the deceased Wang Zhi through these notes, the situation recorded in the notes is very different from the reality. I cannot rely on these actions alone."
Evidence, that will actually affect the broken eucalyptus."
As soon as these words came out, the literati present couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and their eyes began to wander around.
Compared with the simple diary records in the past, Song Dynasty literati liked to write diary records with the nature of notes. To put it bluntly, they were for others to see, so the authenticity was naturally greatly compromised.
For example, there is a particularly famous rumor in later generations. Ouyang Xiu mistook Su Shi's article for Zeng Gong's article, causing Su Shi to lose the top prize. This story was made up by Su Zhe in order to promote his brother Su Shi. Eight great people in the Tang and Song Dynasties could make up stories.
Not to mention others.
Of course, if you want to say that all the things in the literati's notes are false, it doesn't mean that you can't kill them with a stick. The key to the problem is that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, because they are very good at writing stories.
It's really very natural.
The deceased Wang Zhi, whose courtesy name is Xingzhi, is still young and will be the author of "Mo Ji" in the future. The plot of Han Qi and Di Qing he fabricated is believed by future generations. First, it is in line with the Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and neglect of literature.
Wu's style, Di Qing was really guarded and persecuted by civil servants. This has a big background. The second thing is to use specific writing techniques to lay out the plot, add details, and finally make it up, just like a decent one.
Li Yan's combination with the [Thing Hall of Thought] allows for super-fast reading, memory and understanding, but it is impossible to completely tell the truth from falsehood. After all, Han Qi and Di Qing are so famous, and there is still evidence to refute the rumors. Many things are true or false.
Momo debate, so he only believed half of what was said in these notes.
Zhao Mingcheng came back to his senses and said sadly: "Even Mr. Lin couldn't find any clues to catch the traitor 'Zuo Ming'?"
Li Yan comforted him: "Don't worry, I already know something about Wang Xingzhi's life and temperament, and I'm familiar with the other six. Since the murderer killed more than one person, the most direct breakthrough point is to find what they have in common."
Zhao Mingcheng was puzzled: "Isn't the commonality that they scolded the traitor 'Zuo Ming', and the other party got angry and came to take revenge?"
Li Yandao: "It's hard to say yet. What I'm confused about is, if 'Zuo Ming' is the murderer, how did he know that he was scolded by the Tai students? You didn't go to the streets to spread the word, did you?"
Zhao Mingcheng was a little embarrassed: "This is indeed not true. It is only discussed in the school building..."
Li Yandao: "In fact, based on the people's hostility to the rebels, there are not a few people who denounce 'Zuo Ming' in the streets, let alone those in the court. If 'Zuo Ming' wants to kill chickens to scare monkeys, it seems that the Imperial College students should not be the primary target.
You didn’t go out of your way to promote it…”
"There are only two situations. Either 'Zuo Ming' is hiding in Taixue and hears you yelling and scolding him every night. He gets angry and kills you, or there is a 'Zuo Ming' gangster in Taixue who informs him.
, will lead to fatal disaster."
Zhao Mingcheng and Dr. Yu frowned after hearing this. Without waiting for them to speak, Li Yan added: "But these two possibilities are actually a bit far-fetched. I personally don't believe it, so I have to consider whether this case is true or not."
'Zuo Ming' did it!"
Zhao Mingcheng and Dr. Yu nodded subconsciously when they heard this, but their high-spirited expressions changed: "According to Mr. Lin's wishes, the murderer of this case is not 'Zuo Ming'? But many people have seen it with their own eyes.
The rebels are haunting the Imperial College campus!"
Li Yandao: "We cannot rule out the possibility that these seven imperial students were targeted by the murderer for some reason. Now there is a lot of talk about 'Zuo Ming' in the streets. After the murder, the murderer deliberately pretended to be responsible for the murder and used it to get away with it."
Gao Qiu didn't want to believe it: "'Zuo Ming' is the most important criminal of the imperial court. Since the murderer is very skilled in martial arts and can kill seven imperial students, why bother to pretend to be such a rebel and completely cause trouble for the emperor?"
Li Yan nodded: "What Gao Tidian said is not unreasonable, but you can also think of it this way. If the murderer of this incident was not 'Zuo Ming', then the death of seven imperial students would have caused a sensation in the imperial court, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple.
Come with the Kaifeng government office to investigate, who are they being traced?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Zhao Mingcheng and Dr. Yu changed dramatically, and Ding Run and Gao Qiu also reacted: "The murderer is a Tai student familiar to the deceased? Did he do this to his classmates?"
Li Yan looked at Zhao Mingcheng: "Before, you drank wine and sang lamentations to pay homage to the dead. Who was the initiator?"
Zhao Mingcheng trembled. His father was the Censor Zhongcheng and could protect him, but his face turned pale and his voice trembled with fear: "It was... I initiated it..."
Li Yan saw that this person looked like he was about to collapse, and secretly frowned. Although he could not completely rule out this person's suspicion, he did not believe that he had the guts to kill seven people in a row and his body was missing: "Zhao Langjun doesn't have to
Frightened, if you think about it carefully, who comes the most frequently and pays the most attention to the progress of the situation?"
Zhao Mingcheng was so frightened that he couldn't remember: "They are all very sad. Since the incident the day before yesterday, we have been in contact with each other a lot in the past two days. I don't know who comes the most frequently..."
Dr. Yu was also worried about the student's integrity, but for the sake of his father, he immediately came to the rescue and said, "Then let's check other clues first?"
Li Yan thought for a while and said: "Perhaps it can be done in one step. I wonder how many Tai students can be accommodated in the largest lecture room in the school building?"
Dr. Yu said: "The lecture room in Shangshe can accommodate a hundred people, and the direct lectures of the Imperial College are often given there."
There are only a hundred students in Shangshe, so this lecture room is specially arranged for Shangshe. Li Yan said: "Then please ask Dr. Yu to gather as many students as possible there..."
Then he told the official Xu of the Kaifeng government office: "You will transport all the relics and books of the other six deceased people to the lecture room of Shangshe, where I will personally read them."
Dr. Yu shook his head slightly: "Why do it need to be done in public? Nowadays, people in the Imperial Academy are panicking. I am afraid that this will make the students panic and cause accidents..."
Ding Run thought thoughtfully and vaguely understood: "Master Lin wants to find the murderer in public? The murderer will definitely pay attention to this, but he is hidden among so many Tai students, how to identify him?"
Gao Qiu's eyes flickered, but he felt that this person just liked being in the spotlight, so he said helpfully: "This news has been spread all over the Imperial Academy, and it's not to mention that people are panicking. Dr. Yu, you'd better hurry up and make arrangements!"
If it were another person, Dr. Yu would never agree, but looking at this champion embryo, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded and said: "Okay, I will go gather now!"
…
An hour later.
Far more than a hundred Tai students were crowded in the upper lecture room, looking at the table piled with books in the middle, and talking about it.
Until a slender and tall figure walked to the center, nodded to all directions, and reached out to open the diary of the second victim.
Hundreds of eyes immediately fell on the yellow paper that was turning rapidly. They were puzzled and questioned at first, and then turned into exclamation and envy when the people in the front row couldn't help but ask about the content.
Only a look that showed no yearning, but a very cold look fell on him and gave him a cold cut on his neck.
Li Yan raised his head and met that line of sight.
How to identify the murderer?
Very simple!
In Taixue, anyone who doesn't envy me is a murderer!
