Volume II, Chapter 13: Ancient Books Searching for Clues (I)

The general direction of tracing the clues has been determined, and it is time to carry it out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the library of the ancient building can only be visited on weekends, and there is not much time to rummage through ancient books at other times. As soon as Saturday arrived, Lu Ming and Wang Feng got up early, washed up and had breakfast, and hurried to the library of the ancient building, verified the student ID card and reading card, and signed a guarantee agreement before entering the library pavilion. Although the ancient books are precious and open to the students of the school, there are also many restrictions, not all students can enter the library pavilion, Wang Feng relied on his father's relationship to say hello to the school leaders, and only then did he allow it.

The two of them are constantly looking for books in the book pavilion, and it is not easy to find books for hundreds of years, books become mountains and seas, and about Ouyang Yunkai is only in the Ming Dynasty, that is, 600 years ago, there will be records of academy academicians, fortunately, the books in the book pavilion are marked with the age, otherwise the two don't need to do anything else, as long as they turn the book, they will turn over for a few years. Despite this, it took the two three hours to find the documents and academician records of the Xuande period.

"Found it, Wang Feng, come and see." Lu Ming called out to Wang Feng, who was still flipping through the book in the distance.

Wang Feng put down the book in his hand, walked over, and said, "How is it?" What is written in the book? ”

It is recorded in the book that in the third year of Xuande, Ouyang Yunkai came to Longmen Academy from the capital, and he was already an academician in only one year. Ouyang Yunkai, whose name is Junfeng, was born in Yongle for three years and disappeared in Xuande for five years. Seeing this, Lu Ming and Wang Feng glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in their eyes, but they didn't expect that the record directly said that Ouyang Yunkai was missing, and did not directly say that he was dead or left, but directly said that he was missing, that is to say, what Chen Yuyan said was good, Li Hongshen and others did take Ouyang Yunkai somewhere, and even the body was disposed of, otherwise how could it be recorded as missing. The two of them looked at each other. Ouyang Yunkai was originally the son of Ouyang Xun, a wealthy businessman in Beijing, Ouyang Xun was sentenced for bribery, and later died of illness in prison due to old age, Ouyang's family has since declined, and the family wealth has been scattered, Ouyang Yunkai came to Longmen Academy to teach with his knowledge, and his talent was deeply appreciated by the president of Longmen Academy that year, and he became an academician of Longmen Academy in just one year. Xuande five years, Ouyang Yunkai because of the death of Chen Yuyan, the daughter of Chen Mudao, a wealthy businessman in the east of the city, and became depressed, drinking all day long, the people in the courtyard knew that the two of them had already made a private life, Li Batian, the son of Li Hongshen of Longmen Zhixian County, and Chen Yuyan's engagement, so that Chen Yuyan hanged herself, this matter caused a lot of waves at the time, seven days after Chen Yuyan's death, Ouyang Yunkai disappeared, the teachers and students of the whole hospital looked for half a month and did not find it, no one was alive, no body was dead, and it disappeared, the dean went to Longmen County to report to the official, but there has been no news, no more, The dean also died three years later.

"This old dean is really a cherisher! Ouyang Yunkai's disappearance is also a blow to him, presumably the old dean is also old and healthy, and there is no news from the official, so he also has a deep regret about this. Lu Ming sighed.

"It must be, Li Hongshen killed Ouyang Yunkai, naturally he won't look for it, everyone has been killed by him, what else are you looking for, I see, the old dean also suffered a secret loss from Li Hongshen." Wang Feng was a little indignant.

"There are no useful clues, everything else is a record of teaching." Lu Ming closed the book and said.

"And what's next?"

"Look for Li Hongshen and Li Batian, by the way, pay attention to the person called the head of the clear road, this person may not have a record, Li Hongshen should be able to have some records, after all, he was the magistrate of Longmen back then."

The two began to search again, and only in the afternoon did they find Li Hongshen's record in the Longmen County Chronicle.

Li Hongshen was born in the Hongwu period of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and served as the magistrate of Longmen County in Yongle for 20 years. During his tenure, he had...

"These are all useless, let's find out what happened five years after his Xuande." Lu Ming said. Wang Feng nodded in agreement.

In the fifth year of Xuande, Li Hongshen, the current governor of Longmen County, and his son Li Batian went to Chen Mudao's house in the east of Longmen City to propose marriage, wanting to marry his daughter Chen Yuyan, and on the eve of marriage, his fiancée Chen Yuyan hanged herself, and her marriage was over. After investigation, the cause was that Chen Yuyan had already made a private agreement with Ouyang Yunkai, an academician of Longmen Academy, for life, and hanged himself if she didn't want to lose Ouyang Yunkai, and Ouyang Yunkai's whereabouts were unknown.

"Sure enough, this incident was also mentioned here, and it seems that this matter was really sensational at that time!" Lu Ming muttered to himself.

In September of the fifth year of Xuande, the haunting of Longmen Academy continued, the current magistrate Li Hongshen invited the head of the Sanqingguan Qingkong Dao to come to chase the ghosts, it was rumored that the head of the Qingkong Dao was profound, and some people saw the four people of the family under the house of Li Daren carrying a bronze statue covered with yellow cloth to the Longmen Academy to suppress the ghosts, and no one from the Longmen Academy saw this thing, I am afraid that the rumors are not true.

"Xiao Mingming, there is really a clear road leader." Wang Feng was surprised.

"It seems that the matter planned by the Clearing Daoist and Li Hongshen really has something to do with the Longmen Academy, and the bronze statue may be the key, but this haunting incident did not say much, maybe it was also made by Li Hongshen and the Clearing Daoist, just to move this bronze statue into the Longmen Academy. Perhaps we should be able to find some clues from the records of the academy of Longmen Academy. Let's move on and talk about that later. ”

In the middle of the fifth year of Xuande, there was an earthquake in Longmen County, and the people's houses were not destroyed, but the Longmen County government was destroyed in one fell swoop, and Li Hongshen and his son Li Batian died unexpectedly, and the government officials were unhindered. At the same time, the wings of the academicians of Longmen Academy were destroyed, and the academicians living in them were unhindered. It is rumored that the ghost from the previous haunted incident has escaped again, and no one knows if it is true or not. In March of the following year, Longmen Xinzhi County took office...

"I didn't expect Li Hongshen and his son to die that year, Xiao Mingming, do you think it was really Ouyang Yunkai's doing?"

"Not necessarily, there is a master like the Void Clearing Dao Chief, Ouyang Yunkai is not an opponent. There are many mysteries! There is a rough idea of what is going on, and the record is very detailed, and the rumors in the market are not necessarily false, if it is really nonsense, presumably the person who wrote the note will not write it down, I think he also had this idea at the time. ”

"And are we still looking for the haunted thing?"

"Let's find it! There may be other clues or gains, corresponding to the rumors or discoveries recorded above. ”
