"At that time, there were several students who found the corpse, although I had already issued a gag order, and ordered someone to close the doors of the Guozijian, but after all, it was a matter in the academy, and I couldn't hide it, presumably at this time, most of the students in the Guozijian should know." Dean Xu said with a sad face.

That's why he deliberately brought Dean Qu to discuss countermeasures.

However, the two old fellows discussed and discussed, but they did not come up with a result.

"Since the dean is sure that the first person ordered someone to block the Guozijian and no one went out, then the matter will be easy to handle, and the person who poisoned him must still be in this courtyard." Qin Niang glanced at Gu Chen, nodded and said.

Dean Xu looked confused and asked, "How can this be so easy to do?" There are so many students in this country, how can you check? I can't have people searched one by one, can I? ”

These are the children of the official family, the children of the rich lord's family, and none of them are easy to offend.

"Girl, I also planned to do the same with Dean Xu just now, but there are too many students in this academy, and this matter has spread in the academy, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate, besides, the person who poisoned the poison hasn't cleaned up the poison earlier, where is there any need to wait for us to search for evidence."

Dean Qu looked at Qin Niang with a sad face.

Qin Niang hooked her lips and smiled: "The two deans are really confused, people died in the middle of the night, and this poison must be eaten, you just need to ask who had contact with Wan Lao last night, or sent him food and drink, and also, who was the last person to see him, as long as these are found, then the scope will be narrowed." ”

In this national prison, there will definitely be no students after school, so the people in the courtyard are only some miscellaneous servants who live in this courtyard for a long time, except for those guards who guard the gate of the courtyard.

Also, there are generally not many people who go to the library building, and the first student who finds the body must also be interrogated.

"Moreover, you have already ordered the seal to be sealed, presumably there were only a few people who found the body at that time, even if you invited Jing Zhaoyin and Qi Zuo to come, they must have come quietly from the side door, and they did not attract attention, but when we came in just now, those students seemed to know, and I think some of them deliberately spread the news."

Gu Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Dean Xu fixedly and said.

After his reminder, Dean Xu's mind suddenly flashed with a spiritual light, he was in a hurry this morning, only thinking about what should happen to this matter, but he didn't expect that there was still a secret here, and he couldn't knock those who knew it in time.

"Presumably, when the dean issued the gag order, he said that this matter should not be spread outside, but he did not say that it could not be passed on among the students, so within half a day, these students will know about it, and if they want to investigate it, they will not make any mistakes." Qin Niang said lightly.

Dean Xu looked at Gu Chen and then at Qin Niang, he was about to break out in a cold sweat by the two of you, he was indeed not cautious enough, but at that time, he only thought it was a natural death, but he didn't expect to be killed by someone, so naturally he didn't think about it so much.

"Since the incident has happened, there is no intention to investigate too deeply, it is better for the dean to step up and find out who had contact with Wan Lao last night, if there is no one at night, push it forward a little further, and see who Wan Lao saw yesterday, what is special, this country is so big, it is impossible not to find clues."

Old God Gu Chen was sitting there, looking like he was ready to sit here for a long time and wait for the result, which made Dean Xu suddenly feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

Wan Lao imitated Gu Chen's handwriting to ask his wife out, and also tried to make him arrest himself, his use was extremely sinister, this matter is directly related to the two of them, so it is reasonable for them to come here to ask for a result.

If Gu Chen is still white, it would be good to say, but he is now a member of the third rank of the imperial court, if this matter is not done well, it is a major crime of maliciously destroying the relationship between the husband and wife of the imperial court officials and affecting the harmony of the family of the imperial officials, according to the laws of Donglin, this is to be sentenced to exile.

Thinking of this, Dean Xu felt bitter in his heart.

"Dean Xu doesn't have to worry, check out the matter clearly, and give an explanation to Wan Lao's family, otherwise, you go and tell Mrs. Wan that Wan Lao suddenly had a heart attack when she was on duty in the middle of the night, do you think she will believe it?" After Gu Chen said this, he didn't rush him, just sat there quietly and watched his unpredictable face.

Dean Xu's inner worries were very clear to him, if he really killed people, then Wan Lao's charge of maliciously destroying the peace of the court officials' homes would also be established.

But Wan Lao is the person of the Guozijian after all, if people know that such a shameful thing happened to the Guozijian, how will the Guozijian gain a foothold in the capital in the future?

Presumably, even the emperor can't help but ask a few questions at that time.

"Dean Xu, now that the students of the entire Guozijian know that there is a death in the courtyard, when they go to school, after they get out of the Guozijian, this news will definitely not be hidden, and the person who spread the news in the first place will naturally spread it to the outside again, what should you do then?" Qin Niang asked lightly.

Her words were undoubtedly the last dose of fierce medicine for Dean Xu, Dean Xu's eyes were shocked, and the hesitations that were there a moment ago were gone, replaced by a touch of perseverance.

Being able to sit in this position, Dean Xu is not such an indecisive person, after a short period of weighing, he figured out that if Wan Lao was really sold to do illegal things, it was also his personal behavior, and it had nothing to do with the courtyard, and even if his family came to make trouble, it would be useless.

Guozijian was only talked about for a few days at most, but he finally expressed his position on this matter and was willing to cooperate with the investigation.

But if they continue to hide, and wait until the pusher behind them expands the matter, then they will be even more passive. 22 Literary Network

Instead of letting those people outside talk about it, it has been falsely spread, and finally it went to the front of the emperor, causing the emperor's dissatisfaction, he might as well take the initiative to make things clear, at least, it can also reflect the attitude and integrity of their protégés of these heavens.

"What Mrs. Gu said is right, this court will send someone to bring those relevant people for interrogation." Dean Xu said, stood up, and called out to the chief entourage outside the door.

Chang pushed the door in, and Dean Xu instructed Qin Niang's proposal just now, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to tell him: "Remember, don't tell them why you were called, just go and call someone." ”

The chief replied and went out.

"Girl, does this work? If that person poisoned Wan Lao yesterday, then so much time has passed since yesterday, and those personal evidence have already been destroyed, even if we call them to ask for it, it is useless, and we can't take people without evidence. Dean Qu said with hesitation on his face.

Qin Niang gave him a soothing smile and said: "The dean doesn't have to worry, the person who poisoned the poison is a thief, and he can't hide it, and this poison is so secretive, the other party is very confident when he thinks about it, so he must still be in the courtyard at this time, and you can see one or two when you look at their expressions carefully." ”

As long as there is a suspicion, there will always be evidence.

For this, Qin Niang has never been worried.

She never thought that there was anything good about the powerful people before, she was in a high position, and she had a lot of last resort, and she had to be framed by others at all times.

But now it seems that the power in the hands is not completely without benefits.

In a situation like this, isn't Dean Xu afraid of those powerful children?

Moreover, as long as she finds a suspicious object today, she believes that Gu Chen will always have a way to make the other party tell the truth.

"In this way, you two will sit for a while longer." Dean Xu also knew that these two would not leave for a while, so he was not polite to them.

At this time, the sound of cicadas sounded faintly outside, and the dean only remembered that they had been in for a while, and he had not yet let people serve tea, so he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly ordered outside.

After a while, a waiter brought in the tea.

Qin Niang took two sips of the teacup, moistened her throat, and after a while, Dean Xu's chief came in casually: "Dean, everyone has brought it, do you want to bring it in separately?" ”

Dean Xu nodded, and went out casually.

After a while, a round-faced little guy walked in, and as soon as he entered, he looked around the people in the room, as if he was surprised that even the dean of the Wenqu Academy next to him came, but he didn't dare to ask more after all, but just saluted a few honestly.

Gu Chen drank tea and didn't intend to interject, after all, this was someone else's territory, and he had to be conscious of being a guest.

Dean Xu glanced at him in the afterglow, he didn't dare to just treat him as a guest, if he couldn't get a point if he asked for a while, maybe how this person would look at him!

Although he has been studying in Guozijian for a few years, he is now a military attaché, and he has nothing to do with him as the dean, he just can't brag like Dean Qu.

Dean Xu sighed and said that he was tired.

"Do you know why you were called?" Dean Xu asked.

The round-faced little guy replied respectfully: "Just now on the road, a few of us asked your long-term entourage, but he didn't say anything, and hoped that the dean would make it clear." ”

Dean Xu asked, "You are a handyman in the library, when was the last time you saw Wan Lao yesterday?" Did he say anything strange, did he do anything strange? ”

The little guy frowned slightly, seemed to think about it carefully, and then said: "The little one saw Wan Lao when he left yesterday, and he asked me, do you know how much silver it costs to buy a house in Beijing with three courtyards?" Are there any acquaintances who sell their houses? ”

Dean Xu looked at him in surprise, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards Gu Chen.

Everyone knows that working as an errand in this country is only a few pennies a month, enough for their family of three to eat, and even his grandson is about to be enlightened, he taught it himself at home, where is the spare money to buy a house?

It seems that there is really something wrong with this old man.
