Chapter 100 The headmaster and the boy under the orange tree
"Beggar chicken, beef jerky, egg flower soup, noodle soup, meat buns..." Li Mengzhou put these breakfasts on the table with a dark face. The fragrant smell was a torture for him.
Gu Shiyan sat dignifiedly on the stool with chopsticks in her hand. She said with a smile: "Because of your rude behavior in the morning, these are mine, and you only deserve to eat buns."
Li Mengzhou said angrily: "They were all bought for my money, why can I only eat buns!"
Gu Shiyan continued to smile and said, "Do you have any objections?"
Li Mengzhou sighed deeply, and even said he would not dare to do so. He grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, sat with his back to Gu Shiyan, staring at the door with hatred.
Gu Shiyan continued to eat breakfast slowly and said softly: "About the murder of Dan Tai Jing, Xuan Zhengsi has not found any favorable evidence. Dan Tai Jing's wife really doesn't know your identity. She thought it was really just a group of bandits who committed the crime. You should not be found in a short period of time, and it is even likely that it will be left alone."
Li Mengzhou was silent for a moment and said, "This matter is not so easy to end. Even if Xuan Zhengshi can't find the murderer for a while, he will continue to investigate. You should not go out recently. The follow-up of our cooperation will be discussed after this year and the aftermath of the Dan Tai Jing incident has subsided."
What he is paying attention to now is not Dan Tai Jing. Xuan Zhengsi can't get any useful clues from the Censor's Madam. The only thing that knows is Gu Shiyan. As long as there is no problem with Gu Shiyan, it will be difficult for Xuan Zhengsi to find him.
What he cared more about was the issue of silver.
Although I don’t want to admit it, Gu Shiyan must not be able to live in a short time. He must make plans for this "distinguished guest" to live in a permanent residence, so where to get money is the most important thing at the moment.
He still doesn't know what the first order issued by Tianshu Court to be admitted to the palace was to do. The so-called salary is just an exception and not every month.
Today is New Year's Eve, and it is impossible for him to find any work, so he has to find another way to make money.
After eating a few buns casually, Li Mengzhou walked out of the courtyard.
He wondered if he could meet some thief on the street, to uphold justice and get the money he stole from the thief.
But Li Mengzhou wandered around for most of the day but did not encounter such a good thing. I have to say that the public security in the capital is quite good.
He felt even worse when he thought about Gu Shiyan in Chaosi Lane.
The two of them are each hiding secrets. Although they live under the same roof, they are not friends. They are just stakeholders and strangers who are slightly familiar with each other.
But this stranger has to spend his money every day.
It's really hateful to think about it.
......
The streets on New Year's Eve are very prosperous and crowded everywhere. Although the capital is already a lot of people, these days are undoubtedly the most lively time in the capital.
Qingyi leaned against the wall, held the sword in both hands, and looked at the people coming and going with cold eyes.
Suddenly, at some point, his eyes lit up slightly, he took a few steps forward, reached out and put his hand on the boy's shoulder, and said lightly: "The hospital must see you first."
Li Mengzhou looked at Qing Yi who suddenly appeared in surprise and said, "Why are you here?"
Qing Yi said, "Because you are not in Chaosi Lane."
Li Mengzhou frowned and asked, "Have you been to Chaosi Lane?"
Qing Yi glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't let the head of the hospital wait for you."
Li Mengzhou suppressed his uneasiness and walked along with Qing Yichao Tongming Lane.
He has been in the future for a long time.
Today is also a little more change from the past. Many people in the alley are residents here, and more children are chasing each other and fighting each other.
Pushing open the courtyard gate with white feathers hanging on it, Jiang Tingyu sat under the orange tree, with a table in front of him, with wine and meat on it.
Qingyi closed the yard door and stood behind the door, continuing to hold the sword and leaning against the door frame.
Li Mengzhou felt a little nervous inexplicably. When he came to the orange tree, he respectfully greeted Jiang Tingyu and said, "Chief of the courtyard, are you looking for me?"
Jiang Tingyu reached out to signal.
Li Mengzhou sat on the stool.
It was noon now, and it was lunch time, so Li Mengzhou naturally would not think about whether Gu Shiyan had to eat. Listening to the tender playful sounds outside the yard, looking at Jiang Tingyu, who was indifferent to her face, Li Mengzhou's hands, clenched his fists slightly under the table.
The courtyard was very quiet, as if it was a place isolated from the outside world.
Gradually, Li Mengzhou could not even hear the sound outside the yard.
It seemed as if the whole world had become quiet.
Jiang Tingyu picked up a pair of chopsticks, placed it in front of Li Mengzhou, poured another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "You can't hear the sound outside here, and you can't hear the sound in the yard outside."
Li Mengzhou's eyebrows jumped and pretended to be calm and complimented: "The head of the courtyard is extraordinary."
Jiang Tingyu said: "This is a very ordinary method. You can do it even after you enter the five realms. It's just to isolate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Li Mengzhou didn't say anything.
He naturally knew that it was not as simple as Jiang Tingyu said that it was necessary to completely isolate the outside world and create his own space.
One big and one small, two people sat under the orange tree, eating and drinking silently.
After a brief conversation between the two sides, there was silence.
Finally, Jiang Tingyu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and said, "You should have heard of the matter about the Censor General Dan Tai Jing in the past two days."
When Li Mengzhou heard this, he did not pause at all, as if he said casually: "There was a lot of controversy in the capital, and the teahouses and restaurants have become topics of conversation, so I naturally heard about it."
The murder of Dan Tai Jing was discovered the next day. Because the New Year has arrived, there are many people going to Jialan Temple to pray for blessings, but after all, few people go in the afternoon or evening, so they are discovered early the next morning.
There were a hundred corpses lying on the mountain road, which was a very terrifying picture.
So someone reported the case soon.
Jingzhao Prefecture launched a series of verifications, which caused quite a stir in the entire capital.
Such things happen in the New Year are definitely not a trivial matter, and the capital is completely in chaos.
When Li Mengzhou first heard this news, he felt very strange.
Because he knew very well that Dan Tai Jing's wife did not die, but ran away, so she would report to the government immediately. She should not have been discovered by the people who went to Jialan Temple to pray for blessings the next day.
The investigation of Jingzhao Prefecture ended in fruitlessness. All the bandits in Yeskull Mountain have died. Dan Tai Jing and those guards have also died. The only witness is Dan Tai Jing's wife.
During the investigation, Jingzhao Mansion naturally went to Dan Tai Jing's mansion, but the servants reported that he had not come back since his wife and the master left the city to Jialan Temple to pray for blessings yesterday.
When Jingzhao Prefecture was planning a large-scale search, Xuan Zhengshi transferred the case.
Regarding the murder of Dan Tai Jing, Xuan Zhengshi is fully responsible.
Xuan Zhengsi's ability is indeed far better than Jingzhao Mansion, and he soon found Dan Tai Jing's wife.
They found people in the woods next to the official road in Jialan Temple to the capital. The first time they speculated that they were in a panic and returned to the city, they accidentally rolled down from the official road and fell into the woods and fell into the coma.
They soon took Dan Tai Jing's wife back to Xuan Zhengsi, which was the only breakthrough to solve the case.
Before Li Mengzhou learned the news, he had been practicing seriously, traveling back and forth between Ligong Jianyuan and Chaosi Lane, just like ordinary people. He paid attention to this murder case that was known to everyone in the streets and alleys, but did not deliberately understand it.
Dan Tai Jing's wife was in a coma for a day and night. After waking up, she was frightened and sad because of her husband's grief. She only knew how to cry and howl, which delayed the questioning of Xuan Zhengsi.
But the final result was still in a stalemate.
Because Dan Tai Jing's wife could not tell what was going on, why Dan Tai Jing was killed and who was killed? She only knew that there were bandits from Yesang Mountain blocking the road, and she didn't know the rest at all.
Most of the time, he just lay in front of Dan Tai Jing's body and cried bitterly, and even cried until he fainted many times.
Li Mengzhou knew about this, but he was not clear about the verification process and specific details of Xuan Zhengsi.
When Jiang Tingyu asked about this, Li Mengzhou subconsciously tightened.
Jiang Tingyu's words made Li Mengzhou's face slightly darker.
"Then who do you think is the one who killed Dan Tai Jing?"
Jiang Tingyu asked this sentence with a smile, just like a topic that he talked casually during the meal.
Li Mengzhou suppressed the fluctuation in his heart and asked in confusion: "Isn't it done by the bandits of Yesku Mountain?" Jiang Tingyu shook his head and said: "How can the mere Wisku Mountain kill Dan Tai Jing? He is protected by monks who inherit the peak of artistic conception. Even if all the bandits of Yesku Mountain go together, it is not enough for the monk to kill alone."
Li Mengzhou took a sip of wine calmly and said, "Isn't Dan Tai Jing's wife alive? Don't she know who did it?"
Jiang Tingyu sighed slightly, "Dan Taijing's wife only knows Yeshou Mountain, and later fainted. Her husband's death has a great blow to her. What's more, she has a son who stays at home all year round and is no different from a dead person in a wheelchair. The family has lost its backbone and her son is sick. How can she survive in this capital?"
Li Mengzhou said with a slight whisper and said, "I'm a poor person. I hope she's strong enough."
Jiang Tingyu was silent for a moment.
He looked at Li Mengzhou's face and said softly: "Xu Hexian is a very capable person. Although he has not yet investigated any useful clues and the case of Dan Tai Jing has been temporarily suppressed, he has been investigating secretly.
At the scene outside Jialan Temple, there were several corpses who died differently, such as being killed by the "Zhaokong Liuyun" by Ligong Jianyuan. However, this matter was concealed by my Tianshu Academy at the first time. Xu Hexian didn't know it yet, but it is difficult to guarantee whether he will know it in the future."
Li Mengzhou's face looked strange. He lowered his head slightly and said in confusion: "Dan Tai Jing's case was originally handled by Jingzhao Prefecture, but later submitted to Xuan Zhengsi. How can Tianshu Court discover problems earlier than Xuan Zhengsi and hide them from the sea?"
Jiang Tingyu's face was calm, but he kept staring at Li Mengzhou, and said, "There have always been conflicts between Tianshu Academy and Xuanzhengsi. It seems that it is not difficult to understand that there are my people in Xuanzhengsi. After all, Xu Hexian is the leader of the company. He will not take action personally for the preliminary verification, so it is much easier to hide it from him."
Li Mengzhou was still quite surprised and said, "Then are people from Xuanzhengsi in our Tianshu Courtyard?"
Jiang Tingyu said: "It is because Xu Hexian plans to install his people in my Tianshu Courtyard that my people appear in the Xuanzhengsi. Although the rights held by Tianshu Court and Xuanzhengsi are not much different, my Tianshu Courtyard is personally in charge of His Majesty, and it is still a bit different from Xuanzhengsi. It is naturally not that simple for Xu Hexian to install people in the Tianshu Courtyard.
But since my man has successfully entered the Hyun-zhengsi, if he does not give Xu Hexian some hope, with his cautious personality, he will soon find the problem, so I chose a special opportunity to accept the people he sent."
Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "So the difference is that the head of the courtyard knows who is Xu Hexian, but Xu Hexian doesn't know who is yours."
Jiang Tingyu nodded and said, "It can be said that for a person as smart as Xu Hexian, of course he would not think that he is completely trustworthy in Xuanzhengsi. This is also on the surface. He and I both know what's going on.
But I can't guarantee whether Xu Hexian really only arranged that person. Under such checks and balances, I never talk about important things. Only Qingyi knows more about the entire Tianshu Courtyard."
Li Mengzhou looked back at Qing Yi who was standing behind the gate of the courtyard, as if he was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Why should the head of the courtyard tell me this? Is the person who killed Dan Tai Jing related to Li Gong Sword Court?"
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something and said seriously: "Before I was admitted to Ligong, the instructions from the head of the head of the court conveyed by Qingyi were to ask me to be admitted to Ligong. I wonder what the real purpose of this order was? Could it be that there is something the head of the head of the court in Ligong Sword Court?"
This is quite a bit distorting the topic, but it is something Li Mengzhou really wants to know.
Qing Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly opened his eyes. Obviously, he was also very curious about this matter.
Of course, there was nothing that Jiang Tingyu wanted in the Ligong Sword Courtyard, so why did he give Li Mengzhou the task of being admitted to the Ligong? It was also something he was puzzled about.
Jiang Tingyu looked at Li Mengzhou with a little meaning and said, "Even if I don't issue this order, aren't you still planning to be admitted to Li Palace? Don't worry about this matter. The most important thing for you at the moment is to practice well and not waste your talents."
Although he did not get the answer, Li Mengzhou vaguely felt that there might be something that he didn't know about.
Or Jiang Tingyu knew something that he thought the other party didn't know.
Jiang Tingyu asked him to be admitted to Ligong, which must have some purpose, but this purpose is not necessarily aimed at Ligong Sword Court.
"I have eaten the food and drunk the wine. What I want to know most is why you want to kill Dan Tai Jing?"
