Chapter 54: The Murder of the Fasting House 4
Qu Liuyun was suddenly frightened, "My lord is wronged!" Students would never dare to commit murder! Someone must have framed me! β
After he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed at Luo Qing.
"It's him! Did he say that, right? He's trying to frame me! β
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the mountain chief wants to protect Luoqing, but the mountain chief is especially here, and even Li Tuiguan can't afford to provoke him.
Luo Qing, who was pointed out, suddenly became angry, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I say this?" You are slandering. β
"Isn't it who you are? You obviously don't have an alibi, and the mountain chief only testified for you in order to protect you, otherwise why didn't the mountain chief say it before? β
Qu Liuyun was a little speechless at this time, but he pointed at Luo Qing, his face was a little hideous.
The mountain chief snorted coldly and slapped the tea bowl in anger.
"Are you accusing the old man of lying?" The mountain chief held back his anger, and his eyes were as clear as sharp arrows.
Su Yizhao hurriedly looked at Luo Qing's face and found that his face was a little unnatural.
Gee! Looks like there's something going on here!
"Bastard! The mountain chief is highly respected, how can you slander it? Some people say that you sneaked out of Zhutian's house, who is not you? β
Li Tuiguan, a small sixth-grade official, how dare to offend the former Taifu?
Don't look at Fu Zhishi, but he was in the court before, and the connections left behind should not be underestimated!
The Zhu family is a big family, and the in-laws are all over the court.
Not to mention, Taifu has been a mountain chief all these years, and he is full of protΓ©gΓ©s!
Not to mention that now the eldest son of his family is still the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, an official of the third grade, and his promotion and transfer will have to go through the Ministry of Officials in the future!
If he can cling to the Zhu family, then he will not be able to rise to prominence in the future?
"I didn't! I really didn't kill him! I just took his things, he was dead before I came, and I didn't kill people. β
Qu Liuyun saw that Li Tuiguan refused to believe him, and his heart panicked, and his face turned a little pale.
"Humph! Who knows if you want to hide it? What did you take from him? If you dare to conceal it, don't blame the official for being polite. β
Because Qu Liuyun lied and concealed it before, Li Tuiguan obviously didn't believe him.
"Did you kill it? Did you really kill Senior Brother Zhu Tian? β
At this time, a figure suddenly rushed up, grabbed Qu Liuyun's collar and shouted angrily.
"Ahem! No, I didn't kill it! Qu Liuyun struggled to shake off Wang Xun who rushed over, and roared.
Wang Xun's figure was a little thin, not as tall as Qu Liuyun, and he was thrown to the ground by him.
"He didn't kill people!" Su Yizhao saw that the scene was chaotic, so he spoke up.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Su Yizhao, and after finding out that it was a child, they all frowned.
"Look, everybody!" Su Yizhao didn't say much, and directly lifted Qu Liuyun's hem and said to everyone.
"The ink on this is the brocade ink of the Clerk's Pavilion, and the brocade ink of the Clerk's Pavilion contains extremely fine gold dust, which everyone can know at a glance."
When Su Yizhao dipped his fingers in ink just now, he didn't notice it at first, but after wiping his hands clean, he found a little gold dust residue.
Very little, but still left between the fingers.
"The ink on it is the same as the ink in the inkstone, and they both have a special fragrance. Senior Brother Qu's family is not rich, right? Presumably, this brocade ink will not be bought and commonly used. β
Su Yizhao then saluted in the direction of the mountain chief and Zhang Wei, "Master Zhang has confirmed just now that this ink is indeed Jinmo!" β
Qu Liuyun found that the hem of his clothes was stained with ink, and he suddenly looked even more panicked.
"Exactly! And a small amount of aphrodisiac powder is also added to this ink, named Zhu Ran! β
Zhang Wei nodded, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"How can there be such a thing in this academy?" The mountain chief was extremely displeased, and there was a bit of doubt in his tone.
"As I said just now, this person likes to visit the Qinglou, and that Yueju is the place to visit for a long time." Luo Qing snorted coldly and said immediately.
"Then this is what Zhu Tian brought himself? But why grind into ink? This academy is full of scholars, and only servant women come to clean it, why did he do this? β
The mountain chief was a little puzzled when he heard this, so he asked again.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all turned their eyes to the Yang woman just now.
Yang woman is more than forty years old, her skin is rough and slightly dark, because of hard work, she looks a little old.
But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that she looks slightly delicate. It's not a half-old, but it's not out of sight.
When Yang Nu saw everyone looking at her, she was so shocked that she waved her hand again and again.
"Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Yang Nu turned pale with fright, and didn't know how to speak.
"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, since there is ink on Qu Liuyun's clothes, why do you think that he didn't kill the person?"
Zhang Fuzi looked at Su Yizhao and asked the doubts in his heart.
"As Senior Brother Qu said before, he and Senior Brother Zhu Tian both like to play with treasures. This inkstone looks like an antiquity, and it's worth a lot of money, right? Look at this room again, in addition, the rest of the sporadic ornaments are very ordinary. β
Everyone followed Su Yizhao's gaze and looked around the dormitory, and found that this was indeed the case, so they couldn't help but nod.
"This is the Zhai House, even if it is his residence, but since it is not in the house, naturally there will not be too many objects, right?" Li Tuiguan said.
"That's natural, but the son of a big family, this house can't be too shabby, right? Everyone, look at this, is there something wrong? β
Su Yizhao pointed to the vacant place in the middle of the bookshelf and said to everyone.
"Something missing!" At this time, it was Wang Xun who spoke up.
"No wonder I thought something was wrong here, there was originally a jade bowl here. The jade bowl is not big, made of white jade. β
Wang Xun ran to the front of the bookshelf, and after taking a look, he said affirmatively: "Senior Brother Zhu mentioned to me by chance before, don't look at the jade bowl with some impurities, but it is an antiquity, and it is worth a lot of silver. β
"Senior Brother Zhu should also have hanging sachets, jade ornaments and other things, right?" Su Yizhao looked at Wang Xun and asked.
Wang Xun nodded, "I wish Senior Brother a solid family, naturally there is no shortage of these." β
"I just walked around the study and found that the clothes in the wardrobe were neatly folded, but there were no ornaments. If Senior Brother Zhu was taking a bath at the time, it would be impossible for him to come outside naked. β
Li Tuiguan's mind was a little dazed, so he had to follow: "Yes! This doesn't make sense! β
"Who takes a shower without clothes? And where did the ornaments on his body go? β
Su Yizhao didn't answer the previous question, but raised a few points, which made everyone's brains completely confused.
"Is it murder for money? But how did he take away his clothes from his body? β
Everyone turned their attention to Qu Liuyun again, and Qu Liuyun was so frightened that he hurriedly told the truth.
