When the distant city of Xucheng was noisy because of a servant, the excitement caused by a rush examination show in the bustling capital has not yet subsided.

"Let's take a look at Liu Xiucai's last letter."

"The words are shallow and profound, the rhetoric is gorgeous, like crying and complaining, and the rhyme is extraordinary."

"There is no one before and no one after him, and the world's sin is the first."

When they heard this shout, several people who passed by had strange faces.

This.....

There is no one who does not want his writing to be the first place.

I just don't know if Liu Xiucai is very happy in the Yama Hall at this moment with this praise.

"How could this happen?" A scholar looked up at the place where the noise was coming from, "Is this for business?" ”

It's too much to use the victims as a gimmick, doesn't anyone care?

Lu Yizhi, who was walking in it, also looked up and saw that the place he passed by was Huixian Tower.

The acquaintance, who seems to never rest, stands outside the door with a smile and introduces the customers who inquire.

"Not all of them can see it, they can only book the Tianzi room, which is the room where Liu Xiucai hanged himself."

"yes, yes, there's a dead person in that room, bad luck."

"So we want to be angry with popularity."

"Everyone, please rest assured, this Liu Xiucai's confession was bought by our owner from the government, and the government allowed us to use it."

"Although it is a rubbing, it is no different from the real work, if you go in to take a closer look, you can see that there are still Liu Xiucai's tears on it."

"Wouldn't it be more immersive to watch it in the place where it happened, and I must have a deeper understanding of this text."

It's really there, it's still tear-stained, it's still immersive........ what is this, the readers are speechless and want to scold their mothers.

Is it okay to do business?

Have you considered the feelings of the deceased?

What about the face of the Liu family?

"The government has agreed, who can say anything?" Someone whispered to stop the companions who were going to come out for questioning.

This Gao Xiaoliu is not so much buying a copy of the crime book from the government, but buying the right to make it public.

It costs a lot of money, Lu Yiyi, but it's not something that can be done with just money.

This move not only reversed the bad luck of the dead people in the Huixian Building, but also attracted countless guests, what are the dead people afraid of in the house, and there are many people in the world who hunt for curiosities.

Lu Yizhi recalled the glance he saw that day, and the young man who looked like he was floating was really not a splendid straw bag.

"Poor and pitiful." A companion whispered, "Liu Xiucai is dead, and he can't live in peace." ”

Huixianlou did this, undoubtedly pulling Liu Xiucai out and showing it to the public over and over again, no matter how well the text is written, the content is also a confession.

As he spoke, a few people walked out of the Huixian Building, looking indignant.

"The flowery rhetoric is all blood, this Liu Xiu is really brutal."

"It's really a human-faced beast's heart, people can't look good, these readers, don't be deceived by their elegant appearance, they can write well with both hands, and they can also be stained with blood."

How can you slander all the readers with just one article? The reader at the door looked shocked and embarrassed when he heard this.

The case has not yet been decided, and Liu Xiucai is obviously a victim.....

"It's not going to work." Lu Yizhi, who had been silent, said, "We should petition the government and urge the case to be clarified as soon as possible." ”

Everyone looked at him, and some people still remembered that when Liu Xiu had just had an accident, this young man made everyone avoid talking about it, why did he directly petition the government now?

"Originally, this case was Liu Xiucai's personal grudge, and it was inconvenient for us to talk about it, but the government was undecided, and it was used by merchants to make money, and the more the matter spread, the more unbearable it became, Liu Xiucai was a scholar after all." Lu Yizhi said, "If you are used by someone with a heart, please ask Your Majesty to stop studying too much, it will be bad." ”

He didn't talk about avoiding it at first, but he was worried that it would make a big fuss and affect the opening of the Taixue exam.

But now they don't talk about it, and things don't settle down.

Taixue was established at the beginning, and the examination of the world's talents was opened, and the court and the central government did not all agree, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has always been a probationary system, and the emperor got the officials elected by the local level.

The new emperor was young, but he had a strong personality and tried to implement the new policy against public opinion.

But at this time, Liu Xiucai's matter aroused public anger, and the courtiers used this to attack the examination, and the emperor could only withdraw his fate.

The faces of the readers present became solemn.

......

......

Because of Liu Xiucai's identity and the official authority of the Liu family's relatives and friends, the case was quickly transferred from Jingzhao Mansion to Dali Temple.

However, Zhang Yuan, as the initial investigator of the case, also continued to follow.

He walked in with a gloomy face, although Dali Temple is also a place of lawsuits, but there are no noisy people, and there are no errands running, the house hall here is solemn, the ancient trees are verdant, and the corridor is wrapped with wisteria, and there are a few people whispering and laughing under the wisteria at this time.

One of them saw Zhang Yuan coming over and hurriedly greeted him.

"Master Zhang is here." He greeted with a smile, and took the initiative to say, "Lord Siqing is not here." ”

Zhang Yuan often runs here these days, everyone knows him, and he called: "Master Wu, Lord Liu is not seen every day, but he is really busy, next time I want to see him, I can only go to Huixian Tower and wait." ”

Director Wu knew where Zhang Yuan's grievances came from, because Liu Siqing allowed Huixianlou to take away Liu Xiucai's crime book.

He didn't criticize Shangguan, nor did he get involved in things that had nothing to do with him, he laughed and haha, and said: "Lord Siqing is really busy, you also know that there have been many cases in recent years, but Lord Siqing is really busy with Liu Xiucai's case, and Jicheng quickly sent the details of the tenant case, and my lord went to see it." ”

Zhang Yuan's face did not ease in the slightest, and he let out a sigh: "The adults finally have time to read it, I have finished reading it, and I am going to copy it for the adults, lest the adults have no time to move......"

Director Wu touched his nose and smiled, and sighed: "We have new tea here, Your Majesty just gave it, do you want to try it when you join the army?" ”

Zhang Yuan is a martial artist, but he can also understand the meaning of Lord Wu's words, there are so many ministers in the capital, and there are not many people who can get new tea from His Majesty.

Liu Yan was very valued by the emperor.

Zhang Yuan was about to say something, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, mixed with words, "My lord is back." ”

He hurriedly turned around and saw a dark-faced official in his thirties walking slowly, followed by two junior officials.

This is Liu Yan of Dali Temple.

Liu Yan was born filial piety, and when he first entered the office, he was assigned to the fiefdom of the King of Jin, and as soon as he arrived, he took the road and shouted injustice, and put the brother of the princess of Jin, who robbed his wife and daughter to occupy the land, and put him in prison.

He didn't want to be killed, and he hadn't even been interrogated, but the princess of Jin was extravagant, weak, angry and hateful, and his temper didn't come out.

caused this kind of thing, and he was dragged into the palace by the King of Jin and almost killed.

After escaping death, he was demoted to Huicheng, and after ten years outside, the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world before being recalled.

When the new emperor was looking through the crime case of King Jin, he saw him and specially called him to meet, originally he just wanted to show his grace, but Liu Yan had been away for ten years, and his official and civil experience was played against the emperor, so that the dragon's heart was happy, so he was arranged to enter the Dali Temple to serve as an idle post.

A year later, the original Dali Siqing was imprisoned by Huo Lian in the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Prison, and Liu Yan was directly promoted to Dali Siqing.

"Lord Liu." Zhang Yuan didn't say much, and said directly, "How is the case going?" What's next? ”

Liu Yan said: "The Jicheng case file says that the tenant's wife and daughter have been assigned to Jiaozhou, and the official ordered someone to go to Jiaozhou to investigate the file. ”

Zhang Yuan endured his temper and said: "Lord Liu, the tenants' wives and daughters have nothing to check, they have no ability to hire murderers. ”

Liu Yan said: "That maybe, the wife and daughter are assigned to the teaching department, maybe someone will pity the fragrance and cherish the jade....."

"The tenant girl is seventeen or eighteen years old, which is also considered a youth, but she is already dead, and only one wife remains!" Zhang Yuan couldn't help shouting, "An old wife, with no appearance, first lived in prison and then was distributed, and the teacher was too lazy to ask for it, so he directly asked to clean the latrine, what kind of incense is it?" Nightshade! ”

Master Wu, who was standing aside, couldn't hold back a sullen laugh.

Liu Yan's expression was unwavering, and he looked at Zhang Yuan and said, "You checked quite clearly." ”

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Thank you for your praise, the officials are idle, they are not busier than adults, and they don't read the case files for three or five days." ”

Director Wu didn't speak, and the two little officials behind Liu Yan were displeased and scolded, "Zhang Yuan, how can you talk to adults!" ”

Liu Yan raised his hand to stop it, his expression was not annoyed, and said: "In many cases, the murderer is often hidden in the impossible, so it is still necessary to be patient and carefully investigate......

"Okay, I have no opinion on careful checking, but the adults should move faster, and also, take care of the present, the official government has not yet decided the case, Huixianlou has already told several versions of the story, what Liu Xiucai regrets, what female ghost seeks revenge." Zhang Yuan sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if the people are messing around, those scholars also came to Jingzhao Mansion to make trouble." ”

Liu Yan sighed: "What are they making trouble?" If you don't check yourself and introspect yourself, you dare to make trouble? Let your Fu Yin check on them. ”

Let's go forward.

Let Fu Yin check the reader? Let's say it lightly!

This Liu Yan is really annoying to speak, Zhang Yuan can't help but want to beat him - but he is not the King of Jin, he can't beat Liu Yan, and even if the King of Jin is here, he can't beat him.

It is said in private that Liu Yan was reused by His Majesty, in fact, because he sat opposite His Majesty in the study and cursed King Jin, felt nostalgic for himself, and sympathized with His Majesty.

His Majesty is the younger brother of the crown prince and is closest to his brother.

The crown prince died at the hands of King Jin, and the emperor hated it in his heart.

"Lord Liu, don't check the wives and daughters of the tenants in Jicheng Jiaozhou, the murderer obviously has nothing to do with those, but he just borrowed the excuse." Zhang Yuan followed Liu Yan and shouted, "It's still a strict investigation in the capital, check the people around Liu Xiucai, Liu Xiucai is outstanding, doesn't it mean that literati are light?" I can't be sure which one was jealous and killed Liu Xiucai. ”

Liu Yan smiled: "Zhang joins the army, you tell this story very well, let's go to Huixian Tower to sit in the hall." ”

"It's not as good as Lord Liu when I go to the church, Lord Liu puts the victim's last letter in Huixian Building and sells it for money, then he makes a fortune." Zhang Yuan shouted, "Lord Liu is so good at doing business, and he refuses to close the case for a long time, is he wishing for a few more deaths?" ”

This time, the good old man Wu is no longer busy.

"Zhang Yuan, don't sprinkle in our Dali Temple!" He shouted.

The two little officials had also pounced and twisted Zhang Yuan, "So bold!" "Insult Shangguan!" "Send him to the Imperial Tower!"

Zhang Yuan was not afraid of them, shook them off with a fist and kick, and scolded: "I am from Jingzhao Mansion, you are not my superiors, you are such incompetent people, you are undoubtedly accomplices of the crime, and you can't be scolded?" ”

While they were making a fuss, there was a loud noise.

"Where are the accomplices of the crime? You don't need to scold, just leave it to us. ”

A few people pulling together stopped, and saw that there was an extra group of people in the courtyard at some point, dressed in black and gloomy, and their sabers were heavy and cold.

The one who spoke was a young man in his twenties, with a smile on his face and white teeth: "Lord Liu, although you have something to order, although you are not my superior, but if you say a word, Zhu Chuan will immediately take someone." ”

Liu Yan said lightly: "This official will personally tell Huo Dudu if he needs to." Look at this Zhu Chuan again, "What is the matter with coming to my Dali Temple?" ”

Zhu Chuan said: "The governor went out to patrol and brought back some criminals, and our prison is too small, full, so we borrow the prison of Dali Temple for use." ”

Liu Yan said: "If the Metropolitan Inspector is in need, please ask Huo Dudu to come and talk to the official." ”

This is ignoring Zhu Chuan.

Hodudu once said that his men, the guards of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, went as if he were there in person.

In the past, there was also a time when the Metropolitan Prosecutor went to the prison of the Criminal Department to raise people, and the Criminal Department said that he would let Huo Dudu come in person, and then the guards of the Metropolitan Prosecutor smashed the gate of the Criminal Department, and then Huo Lian came in person, sat at the entrance of the Criminal Department, and said that he personally watched the gate repaired, and the Criminal Department was blocked and failed to open the door for several days.

The squire of the criminal department went to the emperor to complain, and the emperor pretended to be stupid and suggested that he could take the opportunity to ask the Metropolitan Inspector to repair the door and spend more money on them to show revenge.

However, this Liu Yan is also the emperor's favored minister, and he died once under the hands of King Jin.

What happens when these two meet?

The atmosphere around him was a little stagnant, and Zhang Yuan forgot about struggling, allowing the two little officials to grab their arms.

Zhu Chuan smiled, did not pull out a knife and slammed the door, but stepped back, turned on his toes, and stood sideways.

"The Governor knows what the Lord is going to say." He said, leaning over and saluting, "Governor, please." ”

Huo Lian is also here?

And they looked outward.
