Chapter Eighty-Six: Confusing

I only heard the sound of the chairs rubbing against the floor in the house, and after a while, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man with a short beard under his chin appeared in front of Xuan Shijing.

"But Xuan Shijing, the Marquis of Dongshan?" The man asked.

Xuan Shijing arched his hand: "Exactly, Your Excellency is the great sacrificial wine of this Lushan Academy?" ”

The man responded: "In Xia Wu Junyan, I have added wine to the academy and have seen the Marquis of Dongshan." Wu Junyan arched his hand at Xuan Shijing, at this time Xuan Shijing had not yet entered the academy, in terms of etiquette, Wu Junyan had to bow to Xuan Shijing, if Xuan Shijing entered the academy, it was Xuan Shijing who wanted to take the student rite to meet Wu Junyan.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine doesn't need to be so polite, I came to Lushan Academy to enroll in the school at the behest of His Majesty, I don't know if Lord Samurai has ever received the order." Xuan Shijing went straight to the point.

"Yesterday, the father-in-law who announced the decree went to the academy to say hello, and after the little marquis came to the academy, he went directly to class, and I have prepared the scholar for everything." Wu Junyan said with a smile, and then looked at Gao Jun behind Xuan Shijing, with a slight embarrassment on his face: "It's just that Lushan Academy is not allowed to bring scholars, little marquis, look"

Wu Junyan's attitude towards Xuan Shijing is cautious, most of the students in Lushan Academy are children of ordinary families, and there has never been a student like Xuan Shijing who has a knighthood and an official title to come to class, not to mention the identity of Xuan Shijing, that is, the grade of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which is several levels older than Wu Junyan's small academy sacrificial wine, which makes Wu Junyan's heart very entangled.

And Xuan Shijing was also very surprised when he saw Wu Junyan, he originally thought that the sacrificial wine of Lushan Academy must be a Confucian in his fifties and sixties, who looked childish, but the image of Wu Junyan was too different from the image imagined by Xuan Shijing. Not to mention that he doesn't have the temperament of a Confucian disciple at all, it looks like he is an old oilman who has mixed up in the officialdom, don't ask Xuan Shijing how he saw it, Wu Junyan's temperament is the same as that of the officials in Dali Temple.

How could His Majesty Li Er appoint such a person to be the sacrificial wine of Lushan Academy?

As everyone knows, Lushan Academy is not a Guozijian. Most of the expenses of the Guozijian are provided by the state treasury, and Lushan Academy has to find its own way except for a small part of the subsidies of the imperial court, so Lushan Academy has to worry about a lot of things when it comes to sacrificial wine, and it also has to deal with people a lot, and a Confucian with a noble heart can't sit in this position, only a person like Wu Junyan can "manage" Lushan Academy well.

But even so. There was still a theft case, and it was a matter of theft of students' tuition, which spread all over Chang'an City, which has had a great impact on the reputation of Lushan Academy, and Wu Junyan has been having a headache about this matter recently. The number is not small, and it has caused a lot of trouble to the financial operation of the college.

Yesterday I received the will of His Majesty Li Er. Wu Junyan is both a headache and a happy one, the headache is the identity of Xuan Shijing, and the happy is also the identity of Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I heard that the case of the theft of Lushan Academy has been handed over to Dali Temple by Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and this Xuan Shijing came to Lushan Academy at this time. Does it also mean to investigate this case? The headache is that Xuan Shijing has a noble status, how should he treat it? If it is in an official position, when you see him, you must bow respectfully, if it is with sacrificial wine and students. Xuan Shijing has to give him a teacher's ceremony, who knows how long Xuan Shijing can stay in Lushan Academy, let Xuan Shijing, a person with a noble status, give him a salute every day, and whether his career will go smoothly in the future.

"Don't be embarrassed by Lord Sacrificial Wine, this is the guard behind me in my house, not my scholar, dissatisfied with Lord Sacrificial Wine, Lord Dai has already delivered the case of Lushan Academy to me, this time I came to the Academy, of course, I also came to investigate the case, don't be in a hurry to go to class today, Lord Sacrificial Wine, can you talk about it in the house?" Xuan Shijing said.

Wu Junyan patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, patronize and talk to the little marquis, little marquis, please come inside." ”

As he spoke, Wu Junyan invited Xuan Shijing into the house.

As the sacrificial wine of Lushan Academy, Wu Junyan's room is his separate office, and the decoration inside is not luxurious, but it has its own elegance, which is a little inconsistent with his temperament, but he is the head of a courtyard, and he can't insult Sven.

When they came to the house, Xuan Shijing and Wu Junyan sat opposite each other, and Gao Jun knelt beside Xuan Shijing.

"Lord Samurai, since you know the purpose of my visit, I would like to ask you some things about this case, such as the specific time and time of this case." Xuan Shijing looked at Wu Junyan and said.

"Fifteen days ago, Mr. Xiao Yu came to Lushan Academy to give a lecture, and the students paid their tuition fees twenty days ago, and found that the theft of the treasury was the day after Mr. Xiao Yu left the academy, that is, fourteen days ago, at that time, there were still students from the outer courtyard of the academy who stayed overnight in the academy because of the long distance, so it also caused a lot of trouble to the detection of this case, because the number of people involved is too many, and there are many children of the nobles, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion is not easy to investigate." Wu Junyan said.

Xuan Shijing nodded and said, "In other words, the time of the crime is about fifteen days ago to fourteen days ago, between the twelve hours of the day and the festival, Lord Sacrificial Wine, can the students from the outer courtyard come to the academy with a salute and a horse-drawn carriage or ox cart?" ”

Wu Junyan shook his head and said: "Because some academies are far away from Lushan Academy, there are not a few students who take the carriage, as for those who carry luggage, they haven't found it, after all, Mr. Xiao Yu's class in Lushan Academy is only two hours, there is no need to live in the academy permanently, and there is no need to bring a salute." ”

The students of the outer courtyard actually came to Lushan Academy by carriage, and now the scope of suspicion is larger, before it was only suspected that there were internal thieves, but now it seems that the suspicion of outsiders committing crimes is not ruled out, but no one carries a large number of salutes, if outsiders commit crimes, what means are used to transport such a large amount of money out? Or if it is a thief committing a crime, then a large amount of money cannot be transported out of the academy in a short period of time, so where will this batch of money be hidden?

No wonder Jing Zhaoyin wants to transfer this case to Dali Temple, the scope of involvement is wide, and the case is complicated, it is indeed beyond the reach of a small Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

"Lord Sake, could you give me a copy of the roster of other academies who came to the academy for fifteen days?" Xuan Shijing said.

Wu Junyan nodded: "Naturally." With that, he got up and took out a booklet from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Xuan Shijing.
