Chapter 43 43. Speculation
In Jiang Shuyao's imagination, the person who can write such poems should be a particularly elegant person.Moreover, thinking of the poem about the peony flowers and leaves that day, even though Jiang Shuyao didn't want it, she still felt that the person who could make this poem might be a very sad person.

Perhaps, still underappreciated.Therefore, when others are amazed at the elegance and luxury of the peony, they can notice its obscure leaves.

However, the point of "unrecognized talents" just happened to be in line with Sun Zhi.Could it be that she is subjective?

"Speaking of which, there is another thing that I discovered by accident." Jiang Shuyao looked over, but Gu Lian did not look up, but slowly refilled a cup of tea for himself: "Sun Zhi, there is a concubine younger brother who once won a prize." Scholar."

Jiang Shuyao thought carefully.If I remember correctly, Jiang Xu said yesterday that Sun Zhi had a direct brother, but did not mention his concubine brother.It was as if there was no such person.

Sure enough, Gu Lian continued: "His concubine brother was selected as a scholar at the age of 14, and he was very popular at that time. But later, shortly before he was going to go to Qiuwei in the second year, he didn't Shen drowned."

"When he passed away, it was three years ago. Later, although people regretted it for a while, they soon forgot it. After all, although a 14-year-old scholar can be regarded as intelligent, if he can only stop at a scholar, then That's all."

"The most important thing is that in the year he died, Sun Zhi's elder brother happened to take part in his second imperial examination, and Sun Zhi took part in his first spring exam," Gu Lian paused, and then Said: "Both of them failed."

Jiang Shuyao frowned.Maybe it was because she watched too many TV shows, her first reaction was that something was wrong.The few words that Gu Lian added later made her believe in her conjecture even more.

I'm going to participate in Qiu Wei, so I have to be more careful, how can I suddenly drown?

Coupled with her own suspicion of Sun Zhi, a conspiracy slowly unfolded in Jiang Shuyao's mind.

"The eldest son failed in the imperial examinations many times. He was jealous of the concubine who was easily admitted to the scholar, so he teamed up with his younger brother to kill him. And the second son, using the poems of the concubine, came out to deceive him?"

Jiang Shuyao tentatively expressed her guess.However, she almost felt that this was it.

Gu Lian affirmed her statement: "At present, it seems to be the case. It's just that there is no basis." Gu Lian did not hear the conversation between Sun Zhi and Xue Xuan, and the reason why he made such a judgment is because...

Gu Lian's face showed undisguised sarcasm when he thought of the fact that the dead cats would occasionally come out of the room of the young master of the Sun family provided by his subordinates.Anyone who can only obtain pleasure by torturing the weak is incompetent.

Of course, there is another possibility, but Gu Lian didn't say it.

"Then when did Sun Zhi's elder brother become a scholar?"

"It was the second year after the bastard passed away." Jiang Shuyao looked straight at Gu Lian, her mind was in a mess.

Jiang Shuyao has always believed that everything has a spirit.I believe in the cycle of cause and effect more, and the retribution is not good.But if there is a spirit in the sky, how could the murderer not only not pay the price after the death of the victim, but go smoothly?

"Then he passed away suddenly. Does anyone think it's strange? What about his father, or mother... aunt?" Jiang Shuyao wanted to say mother, but then remembered that he was a bastard, so he couldn't call his biological mother mother, so he changed it again. mouthed.

In ancient times, the concubine's status was very low. No matter how sad his biological mother was, if her natal family had no background, she might not be able to do much.Not to mention, she may not have conclusive evidence either.

No matter how worthless the life of a concubine is, it won't be so frivolous that it won't make any waves.

"On the face of it, Sun Jiaming has only one concubine son. In fact, Sun Zhi's father has many concubines."

When Gu Lian said a word, Jiang Shuyao understood what he meant.

For his father, the most indispensable thing may be a son, right?

"Of course, the value of a son who is a scholar is different. Let's see what it is, let him not care at all."

Usually, this kind of situation is caught by the handle.Moreover, no matter how many sons there are outside, they are not as good as the legitimate sons.As long as Sun Zhi's father can get some benefits from it, naturally he won't rush to offend the only two sons for the sake of a concubine.

Jiang Shu sat listlessly.For a while, she didn't even have the appetite to drink fruit tea.She had never realized so clearly that this was ancient times.

Seeing that Jiang Shuyao was in a low mood, Gu Lian stood up, sat closer to her, and gently rubbed her head: "Don't forget, these are just speculations. Or, he really slipped into the water and accidentally drowned." died, and Sun Zhi just happened to get his poem manuscript?"

Jiang Shuyao gave a low "um", still not interested.Whether it was an accident or being killed, knowing the loss of a life is always sad.

For a while, Gu Lian didn't speak any more, but let Jiang Shuyao think quietly.He felt that that person might not necessarily be dead.It's just that it might be better not to be alive.

Seeing that Jiang Shuyao was in a better mood, Gu Lian looked out the window and said deliberately: "Look at the time, it's almost noon, right?"

Jiang Shuyao:!

She hurriedly sat up and looked at the sky outside, only to realize that although it was not yet noon, it was indeed late.

She came to discuss business today!Moreover, she promised Chen that she would not affect the afternoon class.

"Don't worry." Gu Lian's tone was inexplicably convincing, and Jiang Shuyao, who was in a hurry, calmed down inexplicably.

Gu Lian stood up and said, "Gu has already investigated the matter entrusted by Fourth Miss Jiang. How about today, Gu might as well accompany Fourth Miss Jiang to have a look. It's okay to talk about it when we get there."

Jiang Shuyao really wanted to finish the discussion with Gu Lian, so she went to investigate.What Gu Lian said was exactly what she wanted.

Jiang Shuyao was a little embarrassed: "I wonder if it will delay Gu Shizi's time?"

"It's nothing." Gu Lian didn't have too many arrangements today, so it didn't matter.

Gu Lian's Xiangmingju is located in a prosperous area, while Jiang Shuyao's "Cat Talk" is relatively far away.

The two went downstairs, Jiang Shuyao got into the carriage, and Gu Lian rode together.

While waiting to leave, Jiang Shuyao heard the faint voice of discussion, accompanied by small screams.Later, it should be Gu Lian who got on the horse neatly, and the surrounding voices became louder again.

Jiang Shuyao understood that this was discussing Gu Lian.Speaking of which, Gu Lian is already 17 years old.Jiang Shuyao was a young man who was amazed when he first met, and has gradually grown over the years, and his appearance is even more handsome.

It seems that there should be many girls who like it, right?
