Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 47

Zhu Tian's family is well-off, with a thousand acres of fertile land. His father is a well-known country gentleman in the suburbs of Beijing.

Although the Zhu family is not comparable to those big families, it is also a farming and studying heirloom.Now that there is an official like Master Zhu, it is Guangyao's lintel.

"I wish Senior Brother Tian worked so hard on weekdays just to get out next year. He also said that he is sure to pass this exam."

Zhao Xi sighed as he spoke, and turned towards someone to be an official.When Zhu Tian passed five trials and killed six generals, and finally entered the officialdom, then Master Zhu of the direct branch must have already been promoted.

Wouldn't it be much easier for poor students like them to take care of them at that time?

Su Yizhao nodded clearly, and asked again: "Brother Zhutian should be busy with studying and have no time to play?"

The two called Su Yizhao to ask this question, but they were taken aback. Sun Hou took the lead and said, "Not really! Maybe it's because of his extraordinary talent. Brother Zhu Tian has a hobby, and that is Taozhen playing. He spent a lot of effort on this."

"That's right! Brother Zhu Tian also likes to recite poems and write poems, often with friends... um! Let's discuss knowledge together!"

Zhao Xi faltered, which made Su Yizhao feel strange.

Just now it was said that Zhu Tian studied hard, and they were the ones who read at night by the lamp, and now it is said that they were also the ones who often went out to play, isn't this contradictory?
Still hesitating, discussing knowledge with friends, is there anything not to say?

"Yes! But apart from these, Senior Brother Zhu Tian put most of his energy into studying."

Sun Hou's words seemed to be looking for a fix, Su Yizhao kept the question in his heart, and if he asked these questions again, the two of them probably wouldn't say anything.

"That's right! Is Brother Zhutian in the habit of taking a bath in the morning?"

While talking, Su Yizhao noticed that someone was looking at her, she turned her head and found that it was Zhang Wei, his wife.

Zhang Wei looked over with probing eyes, and Su Yizhao smiled at him quickly.

"Yes! He has to take a shower when he wakes up early in the morning. We asked him before, and he said that it is to wash away the hustle and bustle of yesterday, so that he can fully devote himself to today's study." Sun Hou said without hesitation.

Zhao Xi nodded affirmatively, "Many people in our academy who know him know that he has this habit."

It seems that Zhu Tian is very famous in the academy?Thinking of what he said before being among the best, Su Yizhao didn't think it was strange.

"Then today is his holiday?" Su Yizhao asked again.

At this time, Zhao Xi and Sun Hou started to look at Su Yizhao strangely. Even if they were curious, few people would ask so many questions.

"Of course not! Our bookstore has a bath every ten days, and yesterday happened to be the day of the bath."

Although Sun Hou wondered why Su Yizhao asked such detailed questions, he still answered.

Su Yizhao was about to ask again, but Zhao Xi said: "Brother Zhu Tian went back to the academy very early yesterday, and said that today he has something unclear to ask the master, I didn't expect..."

Su Yizhao glanced at Zhao Xi thoughtfully when he heard the words, these two are really good people!
"Is there a room for each person in our academy? The environment is not bad!"

Su Yizhao looked around and pretended to talk casually.

Sun Hou waved his hand when he heard the words, "Brother Zhu's family is well-off, so naturally he lives alone. I live with you, Senior Brother Sun, and two other classmates."

Su Yizhao understands that the dormitories in the academy are divided into three, six, and nine grades.

Naturally, those who have a lot of money will live in the same room, and those who have no money will squeeze with other students.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Someone is coming from the yamen!"

There was a loud noise, and then someone pushed the crowd, and Su Yizhao was inevitably pushed aside.

She glanced at Sun Hou and Zhao Xi, and found that they were already standing at the outermost edge.

"Everyone go back! Don't delay entering school, this matter will be handled by the yamen."

Mrs. Zhang dispersed the students who were watching. When they saw people coming from the yamen, they wanted to drive them away, so they rushed to the bookstore one after another.

Naturally, it was impossible for Su Yizhao to leave, not because she wanted to join in the fun, but because she was called by the yamen for questioning.

"Since you are a student of Huang Zi No. [-], why did you come to Zhu Tian? What is your relationship with him?"

A man wearing a green robe and official uniform had sharp eyes. He kept looking at Su Yizhao while asking questions.

Su Yizhao was only a few years old, but he did not take it lightly.

"Master, the student and Brother Zhu Tian are not acquainted, and today is the first time we have met."

"Oh? Then why did you appear in his house?"

The head of the academy who was sitting beside him frowned when he heard this, how could a child become a murderer?This Li Tuiguan really made a fuss over a molehill.

In his opinion, most likely he slipped and fell accidentally after taking a bath and hit the inkstone with his head, resulting in an accidental death.

Taking a step back, even if someone did the murder, it couldn't be the kid in front of me.

Su Yizhao looked at the head of the mountain out of the corner of her eye, she was a little curious about the former master.

After all, my grandfather also said before that the former Grand Tutor Zhu Yue was a highly respected person with connections in the court, but it was a pity that he rarely accepted disciples.

"Early this morning, the students were walking towards the bookstore. Who would have bumped into this woman halfway. She carried two buckets on her shoulders and two food boxes in her hands. When the students saw this, they stepped forward to help, so they asked Clear the place, and send the food box to Brother Zhu's house together."

Su Yizhao recalled the woman's every move, but did not notice any doubts.

"The two of us entered the dormitory together. The student wanted to return immediately, but the woman yelled twice outside the dormitory, but no one answered inside the dormitory."

Su Yizhao answered while recalling the woman's behavior before.

"She said that she had to go to other places to work, and she was a little anxious, so she begged the students to push the door and go in. The door was ajar, and the students just pushed it lightly and walked in."

"That is to say, as soon as the door is opened, you will see Zhu Tian lying in a pool of blood, unconscious, right?"

This was called Li Tuiguan's careful questioning, and the scribes on the side quickly wrote it down.

Su Yizhao nodded, "Yes! Immediately the woman went to invite someone over, and the student stayed here."

"Then has anything been moved in this room?" Li Tuiguan pointed to the room behind him with a very cold tone.

"The outer gown on Senior Brother Zhu's body was originally placed on the screen, but Master Zhang later saw that it was indecent, so he ordered the senior brother to take it to temporarily cover the body. The rest have not been moved, and no one has come in and walked around."

Su Yizhao said everything in detail, and sometimes a small detail was overlooked, which made it difficult to solve the case.

Then Li Tuiguan went to ask the woman, and the woman said the same thing as Su Yizhao.

The woman was about forty years old. Because her family was poor, she dragged her relationship into the academy, and she did some odd jobs on weekdays.

Early this morning, the woman just heard that someone wanted to take a bath in No. [-] Zhaijia, and she had already brought hot water over.

When Su Yizhao met her, she had calculated the time to come to clean and pour out the dirty water by the way.

The food box was brought to Zhu Tian. Zhu Tian took a bath first in the morning, and then had breakfast, every day.
