Chapter 66: The Theft of the Academy (3)

Qin Yi could hear it, and it was obvious that Liu Congwen thought that those guards at night were suspected of committing major crimes, otherwise, it would be impossible for the thieves to steal so many manuscripts and test papers quietly without leaving any traces. Or in other words, in this case of theft from the Bunyuan, there is a high probability that there is a suspicion that the guards and the thieves are colluding with each other.

Of course, this is just Liu Congwen's idea, but Qin Yi doesn't think so. However, Qin Yi saw that Liu Congwen's face was not very good-looking, and he said in his heart that he would not listen to his doubts, so he said "um", and the other three entered the gate of the Academy of Literature and looked for Gu Feizhou.

The Criminal Law Department is responsible for reviewing cases, but also plays a supervisory role in the implementation of the law; The Prison Division is responsible for enforcing the sentences resulting from the verdict in cases and also assists the Penal Division in the investigation of some cases. Comparatively, the Penal Division focuses more on court trials, while the Prison Division focuses more on investigating cases outside the home.

There is still some awe in the hearts of many officials for these two violent organs that hold the law in their hands, after all, they belong directly to the central court, not to the local government. In other words, these two organs of the law could even replace some of the powers of the town envoys at the behest of the central court.

It is precisely because of such a nature that almost every official serving in Xining Town will have a sense of awe in their hearts for the Criminal Law Department or the Prison Department. Even Qin Yi is the same. Therefore, when facing the directors of these two divisions, some officials with poor psychological quality often show a unique sense of tension.

For example, the current Tong Can and others, after all, they are students, not yet seventeen years old, when facing Gu Feizhou, the fine cold sweat on their foreheads has proved the nervousness in their hearts at this time.

On the contrary, it was Qin Yi's calm performance at this time, which made Gu Feizhou, who was walking towards him, impressed: "A few adults, I'm really sorry!" It's just that there are too many students involved in this case, and the stolen items are extremely important to the Academy of Literature, so I have to summon everyone to come and ask about some things about the manuscript of "Baice Collection"! Lord Qin, you are the editor-in-chief, let's start with you! ”

Seeing Qin Yi's calmness at this time, Gu Feizhou decided to let him talk about the manuscript of "Baice Collection" first, so as not to let others be incoherent because of the Criminal Law Department and the Prison Investigation Department! He could naturally see that these young officials were afraid of these two institutions in their hearts, after all, they were not old enough to take on some things alone.

"My lord is laughing!" Qin Yi greeted him and stood on the spacious road of the Academy, the calmness on his face and the nervousness of Tong Can and the others formed a contrast with the Xianming, "The theft of the Academy, if the case cannot be solved in time, it will inevitably make me and the other four people be scolded by the Scholars Division, and if it is not good, it will be recorded on the official records in the future." When he is finally selected by the court, he will definitely be criticized by hundreds of officials because of this incident! Therefore, here we can only pin our hopes on Lord Gu for everything! ”

When Gu Feizhou heard Qin Yi say this, the smile on his face seemed to be stronger than ever. The meaning of Qin Yi's words is very simple, not only to praise Gu Feizhou's speed in solving the case, but also to promote Qin Yi and others in the officialdom in the future, and to lower his posture and beg Gu Feizhou.

In this way, don't say that Gu Feizhou is comfortable to listen to, even Shan Peng and the others behind Qin Yi are also a little better. They all understood that the theft of a clerk would have a huge impact on them.

For a term of office, the most important thing is the assessment and assessment of the government. If one day a certain piece of copywriting reads Qin Yi's assessment: On October 26, the 23rd year of Yanping, Qin Yi's official editing failed to complete the compilation task of "Baice Collection" because of the theft of the Literary Academy...... Such a conclusion has reached the ears of a person who has been evaluated by a certain supervision officer, so the person in charge of the promotion of officials will know that the final evaluation will naturally say that Qin Yi is not capable in a certain aspect......

In a word, if you want to be an official, if you want to get ahead, if you want to enter the temple court, then don't leave any stains on the road to promotion.

Although the responsibility for this one thing does not lie with Qin Yi, people are often so strange, competitors who run the same line often use these small things of sesame mung beans to attack their political enemies. Therefore, Qin Yi's words also have his own thoughts in them.

"The first volume sorted out by the manuscripts of the Academy of Literature, mainly the top 36 on the list of the academy examination, was placed in two secret boxes. Some of the poems and strategies written by some other young talents in Xining Town are also sorted out. The specific list was later given to Lord Shi Aoshi! Qin Yi said his work process, "The articles of the selected young talents, a total of thirty people, this official put them in the No. 1 secret box!" ”

"The one who stole was the number one secret box!" Shi Ao couldn't sit still, he knew what was in the No. 1 secret box, "Some of these manuscripts were read by this official and Master Xu together yesterday......"

It's just that Shi Ao hasn't finished his words yet, as if he realizes that something is wrong. Immediately, Shi Ao saw Gu Feizhou's unkind eyes, as well as the strange faces of Qin Yi, Shan Peng, and Tong Can.

"Huh? You said that Lord Xu went through the manuscript of Lockbox No. 1 with you yesterday? Gu Feizhou grasped the point, "This ...... Doesn't that seem to be a bit out of order? ”

Everyone naturally understood who Lord Xu was referring to in Shi Ao's mouth. In addition to Xu Fang, who is in charge of Wenyin, who else is surnamed Xu in the Academy?

"In other words, Xu Fang had come into contact with the No. 1 secret box before, and he was also suspected of being in it!"

As soon as Qin Yi said this, everyone saw it again, and Shi Ao's face changed from stunned to pale.

At this time, if Shi Ao was standing here and heard Shi Ao's voice just now, he would inevitably scold: If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate! Although there was no cooperative relationship between him and Shi Ao on the matter of the theft of the Academy, it was because of Shi Ao's greed that Xu Fang's plan would succeed.

In fact, Xu Fang's meaning is obvious, that is, to let Qin Yi leave a stain on the road of becoming an official, which will have an impact on his future development.

From this point of view, Xu Fang's plan is not only secretive, but also helpless. Those who secretly play tricks are naturally impossible for people in the open to know. Obviously, Qin Yi was secretly intrigued by Xu Fang, but Qin Yi didn't know it!

"Then summon Xu Fang!"

"Oh, Lord Gu, Lord Xu is in charge of the seal, when the official reviewed it yesterday, he just let him take a few more looks, and nothing else happened!" Shi Ao hurriedly defended Xu Fang, he knew the guilt of privately showing the manuscript test papers to unrelated people, "Moreover, he is also urging the final review of the draft of "Bai Ce Ji"!" ”

"Call him anyway!"
