Chapter 606 Anyone who doesn't envy me is a murderer!
"I'm taking it!"

Zhao Mingcheng put down his notes, with sincere envy in his eyes.

He was born in a scholarly family. His father, Zhao Tingzhi, was a Jinshi in high school. It is also an existence that is flattered by others.

But now, he is very envious of this warrior's endowment. If he is given the ability to live without forgetting, wouldn't the number one scholar be easily obtained, and he will become the world's Wenzong, respected by all people?
Faced with this kind of dream, Li Yan said something that he still couldn't understand: "This is actually something that can be learned the day after tomorrow..."

Then he turned to the doctor of Taixue who was holding on to his sleeve and would not let go, but shook vigorously: "Dr. Yu is too famous, and I would also like to pass on the learning of saints, but Taixue has its own regulations, but it is inconvenient to make an exception."

Dr. Yu smiled very kindly, as if facing a future champion, he still wants to call his husband's future champion: "It's not an exception, it's not an exception, Mr. Lin can start as a student in the foreign house and gradually rise to the house! "

Since Wang Anshi's political reform, the students of Taixue have been divided into students from the outer hall, students from the inner hall, and students from the upper hall. At present, among the students of the Imperial College, there are [-] students from the outer hall, [-] students from the inner hall, and only one student from the upper hall. Hundreds, and Dr. Yu is full of confidence in the person in front of him: "As long as Lin Langjun enrolls, he will soon complete all the credits and become a student of the upper house."

When Li Yan heard about the credits, he couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic. Since Wang Anshi's reform, the credit system of Taixue is somewhat similar to that of later universities. The system is very strict for students' promotion, studying abroad, and dropping out of school.

Even Wang Anshi had already thought about the allocation of packages. In his plan, when the time was right, the imperial examinations would be abolished and replaced by this method of step-by-step promotion within the school. Become an official.

Wang Anshi's reform failed, and this follow-up plan seemed even more impossible to realize, but he probably didn't expect that someone would actually implement it later, and this person was called Zhao Ji.

After Li Yan withdrew the idea of ​​credits and package distribution, he said to Dr. Yu: "We will put the case first, and give justice to the innocent, and then talk about other things."

Dr. Yu has already made up his mind, he must bring this kind of talent back to the Confucianism, and he must never be reduced to a warrior, so he nodded: "That's fine..."

Seeing that the two of them finally finished speaking, Gao Qiu walked over in three steps in parallel: "Young Master Lin, we finally meet!"

Gao Qiu and Ding Run were whispering at the side just now. Others may not be aware of it, but Li Yan opened his ears and listened to all directions. Guan Wai is the most loyal dog to Zhao Ji: "Who is this official?"

Ding Run introduced: "This is Dian Gaoqiu, Secretary of the Imperial City. He is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted man, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Mr. Lin might as well get to know him."

Li Yandao: "It turned out to be Gao Tidian. Gao Tidian went to the medical clinic before. Dr. An already told me. Is it also because of this case?"

Gao Qiu smiled sincerely and was full of emotion: "It's not just about the case, but I've heard about Mr. Lin's name for a long time, and I've long wanted to invite you to a banquet in Fanlou, but I'm busy with work, so I don't have the opportunity! This 'Zuo Ming' is evil, just to facilitate Meeting each other is the only good thing this rebel has done! Haha!"

Li Yan nodded: "Gao Ti is too polite."

Gao Qiu knew that he was overly enthusiastic when they first met, but he had climbed up from the bottom, the most important thing now was to secure his position, and he was more open to those who needed him than those who were officials. Pulling Li Yan's sleeve, he said again and again: "Mr. Lin, don't believe me. I knew that you are a genius. I was not surprised when I met you just now. Is it like hit-a-piece? Is it destined?"

If the scene changed and the two became brothers of the opposite sex, it wouldn't seem abrupt, and Li Yan couldn't help laughing: "It's indeed a bit of destiny."

Gao Qiu was secretly proud of himself. He obviously left a good first impression on the other party, and began to introduce the topic: "I don't know what Mr. Lin has seen so far, but is there any clue to the murderer?"

Li Yan looked at Ding Run, and Ding Run's heart warmed up. He felt that this person was really loyal, and the person he had invited was completely on his side, so he quickly nodded his double chin.

Li Yan withdrew his gaze 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 can't act on these alone. If there is no evidence, it will affect the judgment of the case.”

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 daily records in the past, literati in the Song Dynasty liked to write daily records with notes. To put it bluntly, they were for others to read, and the authenticity was naturally greatly reduced.

For example, there is a particularly famous rumor in later generations that Ouyang Xiu took Su Shi's article as Zeng Gong's article, which caused Su Shi to lose the champion. This story was made up by Su Zhe to praise his elder brother Su Shi. Everyone in Tang and Song Dynasties can make up stories. Let alone others.

Of course, if you want to say that all the things in the literati’s notes are false, that’s not enough, you can’t beat them to death with a single stick. The crux of the problem is that sometimes it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, because their level is very good, and they can make up stories well. Really very natural.

The deceased, Wang Zhi, is still young, and will be the author of "Memory" in the future. The reason why the plot of Han Qi and Di Qing he fabricated is deeply believed by later generations. Wu's ethos, Di Qing was really guarded against and persecuted by civil servants. This has a big background. The second is to use specific writing techniques to lay out the plot, add details, and finally make it up, which looks decent.

Li Yan's [Quantum Reading] combined with [Thinking Palace] can read super fast, memorize and understand, but can't completely tell the truth from the fake. After all, Han Qi and Di Qing are too famous, and there is evidence to refute the rumors. The matter is a matter of debating the truth from the false, so he only believes half of the words in these notes.

Zhao Mingcheng came back to his senses, and said sadly: "Even Mr. Lin can't find any clues to catch that traitor 'Zuo Ming'?"

Li Yan comforted: "No hurry, I already have some understanding of Wang Xingzhi's life and temperament, and then get to know 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 common thing that he scolded the traitor 'Zuo Ming' and the other party became angry and came to take revenge?"

Li Yandao: "It's hard to say at the moment. What I'm puzzled about is, if 'Zuo Ming' is the murderer, how did he know that he was scolded by the Tai students? You didn't spread it on the streets, did you?"

Zhao Mingcheng was a little embarrassed: "It's true, it's only discussed in the school building..."

Li Yandao: "Actually, according to the common people's hostility to the rebels, there are not a few people who denounce 'Zuo Ming' in the streets and alleys, let alone the court. If 'Zuo Ming' wants to kill chickens and monkeys, it seems that Tai students should not be the primary target. You didn't specifically promote..."

"Then there are only two situations, either 'Zuo Ming' hides in the Taixue, hears everyone shouting and cursing every night, and then kills him after getting angry, or there is a member of 'Zuo Ming' in the Taixue to vent it Reporting the letter will lead to death."

Zhao Mingcheng and Dr. Yu frowned when they heard this, and without waiting for them to speak, Li Yan said again: "But these two possibilities are actually a bit far-fetched, and I personally don't believe them, so I have to consider whether this case is a good one or not. What 'Sa Ming' did!"

Zhao Mingcheng and Dr. Yu nodded subconsciously when they heard the words, but Gao Qiu's face changed: "Mr. Yilin, the murderer in this case is not 'Zuo Ming'? But many people have seen it with their own eyes. The rebels are haunting the imperial school building!"

Li Yandao: "I can't rule out the possibility that these seven students were targeted by the murderer for some reason, and now there is a lot of talk about 'Zuo Ming' in the streets and alleys.

Gao Qiu didn't want to believe it: "'Zuo Ming' is the court's number one criminal. Since the murderer is skilled in martial arts and can kill seven imperial students, why bother to pretend to be such a traitor and make the case a big deal?"

Li Yan nodded: "What Gao Ti said is not unreasonable, but you can also think about it this way. If the murderer in this case is not 'Zuo Ming', then the death of seven imperial students is also a major case that has caused a sensation in the court. And the Kaifeng government office came to investigate the case, who are they looking for?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Zhao Mingcheng and Dr. Yu changed drastically, and Ding Run and Gao Qiu also reacted: "The murderer is the student who the deceased was familiar with? Do you want to kill your classmates?"

Li Yan looked at Zhao Mingcheng: "Before you drank elegiac songs and paid homage to the dead, who initiated it?"

Zhao Mingcheng shivered for a while, obviously his father was Yushi Zhongcheng, who could protect him, but his face turned pale, and his voice trembled with fear: "Yes... I initiated it..."

Li Yan frowned secretly when he saw that this person looked like he was about to collapse. Although he could not completely rule out the suspicion of this person, he did not believe that he had the guts to kill seven people in a row and their heads were different: "Mr. Frightened, think about it carefully, who comes the most and works the most, and pays the most attention to the progress of the case?"

Zhao Mingcheng couldn't think of it under the fear: "They are all very sad. Since the incident happened the day before yesterday, they have been in contact with each other for 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 the other's father, he immediately made a relief: "Then let's check other clues in the case file first?"

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Maybe it can be done in one step. I wonder how many 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 Guozijian often gives lectures there."

There are only a hundred students in the Shangshe, so this lecture room is specially arranged for the Shangshe, Li Yan said: "Then please Dr. Yu gather the students there as much as possible..."

Then he told Li Xu of the Kaifeng government office: "You transport all the relics and books of the other six deceased to the lecture room of Shangshe, and I will read them myself there."

Dr. Yu shook his head slightly: "Why do you want to do it in public? Nowadays, people in the imperial academy are in panic, and I am afraid that this move will make the students panic and cause accidents..."

Ding Run was thoughtful, and vaguely understood: "Mr. Lin wants to find out the murderer in public? The murderer will definitely pay attention to this case, but he is hiding among so many students, how to tell?"

Gao Qiu's eyes flickered, but he felt that this person just liked the attention of all the people, so he helped him and said, "This case has been spread all over the academy, so it's not a panic, Dr. Yu, you should hurry up and arrange it!"

If it were another person, Dr. Yu would definitely not agree, but looking at this champion embryo, he gritted his teeth and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go gather now!"

……

An hour later.

Far more than a hundred students from the Imperial College were densely crowded in the lecture room of the upper dormitory, looking at the table in the middle full of books, discussing a lot.

Until a tall and slender figure came to the center, bowed his head in greeting to all directions, and reached out to open the diary of the second victim.

Hundreds of eyes immediately fell on the rapidly flipping yellow paper. They were puzzled and questioned at first, and then they turned into admiration and envy after the people in the row couldn't help asking about the content.

There was only one look that didn't yearn for, but was very cold, and cut coldly on the 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!
