A Complete Explanation of the Negative Textbooks of the Imperial Examination

Chapter 37: The Truth

“Who is Liang Zhihong?”

After Xiao Jingduo said these words, no one said anything for a long time. Li Qingfeng glanced at Rong Ke secretly, Rong Ke raised his eyebrows and looked back with a smile: “If you want to say it, just say it, see what I do?”

Li Qingfeng laughed twice, and then said: “We found that someone was poisoning the well water, and we found a student in the Guozijian. The personnel of the Guozijian are mixed, and many vassal states The descendants of the prince are also studying in Guozijian, so we suspect…”

Xiao Jingduo has understood: “Do you suspect that Liang Zhihong is a fine work from another country?”

“Yes. He pretended to be a student and sneaked into Guozijian, secretly delivering news to the Huihe people. His Royal Highness wanted to wipe out these people, so he asked me to ambush to Guozijian as a student, waiting for an opportunity to approach this place. People. I was afraid of pretending to be different, so I deliberately learned from my nephew. I didn’t expect me to be so careful, for fear that I would be caught by them. I saw Liang Zhihong going out that day, and I guessed that he was going to connect with people from Huihe, so that day I visited Liang Zhihong’s residence at night, but I didn’t expect it to be a step too late, he is already dead…”

“So, the quarrel between Qi Xuan and Liang Zhihong was intentional?” Xiao Jingduo quickly figured out the joints, yes, Qi Xuan’s uncle works in Dali Temple, and Li Qingfeng is also in Dali Temple Obviously, this is a long-planned bullying incident, just to create an opportunity for Li Qingfeng to get close to Liang Zhihong.

These people in the court really know how to play.

Li Qingfeng is still indignantly accusing: “These meticulous works are really wolf ambitions and conscience, not to mention poisoning innocent people, and maliciously creating ghost handprints to spread rumors that are unfavorable to saints and princes , it’s just heartbreaking!”

No, this matter really wrongs these meticulous works, the culprit of the ghost handprint is actually my own. Naturally, Xiao Jingduo would not tell the truth to this Dali Temple official, he glanced in the direction of Rong Ke, and said a little embarrassedly: “I didn’t know the plan of the county master and Dali Temple in advance, which ruined the county master’s plan. I don’t know, can I fix one or two?”

Xiao Jingduo guessed that Liang Zhihong died unexpectedly, and Li Qingfeng had no idea, so he went out late at night to discuss countermeasures with Rong Ke. When Li Qingfeng realized that there was someone behind him, he simply followed the trend, brought the stalker here, and captured him in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the person following him wasn’t the meticulous work in the Guozijian, but him, which disrupted Rong Ke’s overall plan.

Rong Ke smiled kindly: “You have a keen insight, this is a good thing, how can I blame you?”

…”

It’s a bad thing. Li knows his fault and is willing to accept the punishment, but Li is insignificant, and the county master’s plan must not fail. Look at the county master, what should we do next?”

Xiao Jingduo also turned his attention to Rong Ke, and everyone was waiting for Rong Ke’s instructions. Rong Ke didn’t speak, just stared at the candlelight quietly, the jumping flames hit her face, making her more and more delicate and picturesque, with ice muscles and jade bones.

“Just count.” Rong Ke said suddenly.

“Huh?”

“Since you’ve already been suspected, let’s just make the flaw bigger and make you really a murderer.”

“The princess means…”

Li Qingfeng opened his mouth in surprise: “The county master?”

“What’s the hurry, I didn’t say I won’t save you.” Rong Ke was very disgusted, “After you lead their people out, I will send people to ambush them early, and then they can be arrested. All at once.”

“The county lord, I understand the truth. But those barbarians are vicious and unreasonable. You didn’t see Liang Zhihong’s body. .” Li Qingfeng said with a sad face, “I use my body as bait, what if there is an accident?”

Li Qingfeng said so, Rong Ke had to take care of the undercover’s mood. She instructed the guards behind her: “Come here, prepare a few weapons for Li Sizheng…”

“Wait, the county master!” Li Qingfeng was embarrassed, and almost squeezed the next words out of his teeth, “I mean… the county master can send two people to the Imperial College. protect me…”

Rong Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise: “Can you ride a horse and shoot arrows?”

Li Qingfeng is unclear so: “Yes.”

“Can you use a sword?”

“I did.”

“Then why send someone to protect you?”

It makes sense, but Li Qingfeng was speechless for a moment.

Xiao Jingduo couldn’t bear it any longer, he quickly raised his hand and clenched his fist to block the smile on his lips.

“My grandfather was able to kill the enemy and lead troops to fight at the age of sixteen, and my father also went to war when he was fifteen. You are in Guozijian, surrounded by your own people, and you are afraid of some of them. Can’t it?”

“Your Majesty, you can’t judge me by the strength of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince!” Li Qingfeng cried, “Although I have studied martial arts, I’m only half-baked, I really don’t dare to confront them. .”

“It would be too troublesome to arrange for someone to enter the Guozijian to protect you, and it would be broken if you scare the grass. You practice martial arts these few days, rely on yourself.”

Rong Ke spoke very calmly, but Li Qingfeng almost cried on the spot. There is a group of masters who can conquer and fight really badly, and they can’t survive without strong force.

Rong Ke thought he had solved Li Qingfeng properly, and then turned his attention to Xiao Jingduo.

With the example of Li Qingfeng first, Xiao Jingduo said very politely: “I accidentally disrupted the county lord’s plan, and I felt uneasy in my heart. I don’t know what I can do for the county lord?”

Rong Ke nodded with satisfaction, and spoke to Xiao Jingduo in a much better tone: “Your mission is simple, just expose Li Qingfeng as the murderer.”

Rong Ke glanced at Li Qingfeng, as if she couldn’t bear his look like a concubine, so she had to be accommodating and said to Xiao Jingduo: “When necessary, cover Li Qingfeng with one or two.”

Li Qingfeng was dissatisfied: “The county lord, he is only thirteen and five or six years younger than me. It’s almost the same for me to cover him. How can I expect him to protect me?”

Rong Ke just responded calmly: “He can survive three tricks under Liu’s second hand, can you?”

He couldn’t, Li Qingfeng silently shut up.

Xiao Jingduo was forced to get involved in Rong Ke’s plan. After a few of them finalized the next steps, they were finally able to leave this courtyard.

Li Qingfeng still looked worried after he came out. He asked Xiao Jingduo: “Brother Xiao, this plan is very dangerous, what are you going to do?”

…

Xiao Jingduo followed the same path and returned to the school lightly. He pushed open the door silently, then went back to his bed and collapsed without making a single sound.

After a while, the room was silent again, as if nothing had happened. In the darkness, the other pair of eyes slowly opened.

In the “Analects of Confucius” class on the second day, the students were still discussing the murder case yesterday.

Although Jijiu has just issued a ban.

Guozijian students are very free to choose courses. They can choose the Second Classics, the Third Classics, and the Five Classics according to their own preferences. Which one to study is also their own decision, but the “Analects of Confucius” is for everyone to learn , so when the “Analects of Confucius” was read, the students in the school were always the most numerous and the most mixed.

Xiao Jingduo turned his face slightly, and saw Li Qingfeng sitting behind him, nodding invisibly at him.

“I heard that Dali Temple has fenced off Liang Zhihong’s house. I don’t know if anything has been found?”

“What’s the hurry, there will definitely be news in two days.” Another student said.

Going out to him in the snow, do you know something?”

“How do I know what’s going on with him.” Li Qingfeng smiled, “I said goodbye to him and went back to my room. I didn’t go out all night, and when I saw Zhihong again, he I’m dead, how do I know what’s going on?”

“Brother Li.” Xiao Jingduo spoke, he asked with a faint smile, “You said you never saw Liang Zhihong again after you said goodbye at night?”

Li Qingfeng looked at Xiao Jingduo and laughed loudly: “Naturally.”

“Then why did you go to Liang Zhihong’s house yesterday and know that he was murdered without going up to check? At that time you stood far away in the crowd and couldn’t see Liang Zhihong’s wound situation.”

Li Qingfeng paused for a while and said, “His throat was cut, and he was killed by a knife. Wasn’t this a harm to others or what?”

“How do you know that his throat was cut? Many classmates were there at the time, and everyone can testify that you didn’t come forward to check the body. Since you said you never saw Liang Zhihong after parting, How can you know so much about his situation?”

After listening to Xiao Jingduo’s words, the others in the room also woke up like a dream: “Yes, how do you know?”

Li Qingfeng did not speak, but luckily the doctor came soon. Seeing the students in the room making noise, he shouted in displeasure: “Be quiet and concentrate on class!”

The students in the room looked away and stopped discussing Liang Zhihong. Although the classroom was calm on the surface, many people in private were thinking about what happened just now.

What is Li Qingfeng’s situation? Why are his words and deeds inconsistent?

Xiao Jingduo also took advantage of the situation to withdraw his gaze and focused his attention on the textbook, no longer targeting Li Qingfeng.

He noticed something was wrong, so he turned his head and frowned at Bai Jiayi: “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.” Bai Jiayi smiled, he shook his head, but his eyes flickered, as if thinking, “It’s the first time I see you targeting a person, I’m just curious.”

Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi looked at each other, their expressions did not change, after a while, Xiao Jingduo smiled lightly: “It’s just that you haven’t seen it before, there are many things you don’t know, nothing to worry about. Strange.”

“Okay, if that’s the case, then I’ll wait and see.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingduo and Bai Jiayi both withdrew their eyes and sat up straight, looking like any student who was listening to the lectures attentively. Who would have thought that the two had just exchanged several rounds of secret words and temptations .

It seems that since the “Analects of Confucius” class that day, rumors about Li Qingfeng have risen overnight.

Guozijian banned the matter on the open face, and shifted the responsibility of investigating the murderer to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple would naturally not release any rumors. Many students inquired about Dali Temple to no avail, so they had to figure it out in private. As time went by, the rumor about Liang Zhihong became more and more outrageous.

The winter solstice has arrived before the students can discuss the reason. The winter solstice is the second largest festival in the year after the New Year’s Eve. The imperial court is going to worship the sky, and the Guozijian is also busy paying homage to Confucius and preparing for the sacrificial ceremony.

, and there will be a grand palace feast after the end. Therefore, since the beginning of November, Chang’an has been bustling with horses and horses. Honglu Temple receives many courtiers from vassal states every day, and Chang’an is very lively.

In front of Honglu Temple, people from the vassal countries with tall noses and deep eyes are in close proximity, and the Guozijian is also lively. There are many foreign students in Guozijian. These students come from Japan, Silla, Baekje, Koryo, Nibal, Nanzhao, Tubo and other countries. Most of them are children of high-ranking officials, including the sons of kings and grandsons. It is rare for the students to see the envoys of their home country, so they are naturally very excited. The atmosphere in the Imperial College is very open, and there are no restrictions on students coming and going, so these Tianguozijian are also very lively, and foreigners can be seen everywhere.

Guozijian gives leave to follow the court, and will take a seven-day long holiday after the ceremony. There are both celebrations and holidays. This is probably the favorite thing for students, even the noble children of the Guozijian are no exception. So since November, the Guozijian has been filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Even Liang Zhihong was killed. The haze brought by it has also diluted a lot.

However, Li Qingfeng is completely the opposite. The atmosphere around him is out of tune with the surrounding. The winter solstice and Daqing are just around the corner. The best time to start with the breeze.

The more Li Qingfeng thought about it, the more he felt that his life was in danger.

When Xiao Jingduo met Li Qingfeng on the road, seeing the man’s face pale and dejected, he couldn’t help but whispered comfort: “Brother Li, don’t panic, it’s just these few days, the county master will not Leave it alone.”

Li Qingfeng glanced at Xiao Jingduo with a sad face: “Please, don’t remind me.”

Everyone knows that the people behind the scenes are doing it, just in the past few days.

The author has something to say:

Small Theater:

Li Qingfeng and Xiao Jingduo looked at each other

Xiao Jingduo: I want to identify you as the murderer.

Li Qingfeng: Come on brother, I am ready, I will cooperate.
