Chapter 400: The Sound Is Not Like
"A good wine that is strong, pure and fragrant!" Peng Chengxing said with a smile directly.
"Okay, as long as Mr. agrees to enter the academy, I will definitely brew this good wine for you!" Lin Shuran said confidently.
After Lin Shuran came back from the bamboo forest courtyard, the first thing he did was to write out the upper couplets of the two couplets, invite the world's scholars to the lower couplets, and let people frame them and hang them directly outside the gate of the royal manor used as a college.
The second thing is to arrange Jing Niang to make new wine, although Mingyuan wine was sold in the Jin Dynasty because of the low cost of raw materials and low price, but now many people have guessed what the raw materials used by the Xu family to make wine, as long as you think about it, the wine recipe of this Mingyuan wine will also be figured out, she thinks that if you want to make a real heirloom good wine, you still have to rely on grain wine.
Now that the preliminary work of the academy has been carried out almost completely, Gao Lun, the steward in charge of managing the academy, has already trimmed the various areas of the academy according to the division that Lin Shuran explained before, and only when the gentlemen and students on Lin Shuran's side are in place, the academy can start to officially open classes.
Soon the news also came from the Wen family that a literary event will be held in Beijing on the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, and all the country's celebrities, bachelors and students can come to Beijing to participate, and then the academies will also send people to come, and there will be poetry meetings, lectures, exchanges, competitions such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., and even rumors that Wen Shangqing will recruit disciples at this event.
For a time, countless literati began to come to the capital, and the scholars were all longing, and many people originally worshiped Wen Shangqing, and when they saw that he was relieved to accept disciples, they all came with hope, and they were bound to show themselves in the hope of winning his favor.
Not only that, several famous academies in the Jin Dynasty also unanimously decided to take advantage of this literary event in the capital to send proud disciples of each academy to compete for their respective academies in Beijing to see which academy had better disciples.
There is still more than a month to go before the eighth day of September, but the capital has gradually become lively because of this incident, and many restaurants and teahouses have also taken the opportunity to provide places for readers, hoping that they can hold various activities in their own shops.
Guozijian also attaches great importance to this literary event, and the General's Mansion has also built the Library Pavilion in the shortest possible time, although the case of the fire has now been investigated by Xiao Chen, and it is also related to Wei Song, the son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but Wei Song has been killed, and Xu Mingfan is indeed responsible, so the matter of the Library Pavilion is still the responsibility of the General's Mansion.
However, Guozijian did not force the General's Mansion to take out 50,000 volumes of books as before, the Wen family had already sent 20,000 volumes, plus others sent it, as well as a part sent by the Hanlin Academy, which did not have much impact on the normal use of the Guozijian Library, and even the three-month time limit was exempted from the General's Mansion, and Xu Mingfan could also enter the Guozijian to study as usual.
Things seem to be running in a normal direction, but the case of Lu Yong's collaboration with the enemy and treason is a little difficult, Lin Shuran heard Xu Junze say that Lu Yong faced countless evidence against him, he only admitted that he had done the evil things of killing people and bullying the people, and even admitted that the two princes in the palace were harmed by him, but he did not admit that he collaborated with the enemy and committed treason.
"Does the emperor believe his words?" Lin Shuran thought that in the face of ironclad evidence, Lu Yong gritted his teeth and insisted that he did not collaborate with the enemy and treason, is it for the sake of the lives of the nine clans of the Lu family and the three princes in the palace, after all, there is an uncle who collaborates with the enemy and treason, and the fate of the three princes in the future can be imagined, and the Lu family will not want to turn over again.
"The emperor's letter is evidence!" The moonlight poured into the room through the window lattice, Xu Junze and Lin Shuran sat in the room talking, and their daughter Xu Manman was lying in the crib next to her, sleeping sweetly at the moment.
Now all the evidence shows that Lü Yong is the one who collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the courtiers have repeatedly written to the emperor to order the execution of Lü Yong and his henchmen, and the death of this person is not enough to anger the people.
"Is the masked man really Lu Yong?" Lin Shuran always felt that Xu Junze's eyes were full of suspicion, what else did he suspect about the original ironclad evidence?
Xu Junze glanced at Lin Shuran with deep meaning in his eyes at this time, then stood up, turned to look at the overly bright moon in the sky, and said quietly: "I can't be sure, because Brother Ye said that Lu Yong's voice is not very similar to the voice of the masked man in his memory." ”
Today, Xu Junze took Xu Mingye out of the barracks, and then took him to see Xiao Chen to interrogate Lu Yong, then Lu Yong's eyes were full of strangeness after seeing Xu Mingye, and his voice Xu Mingye also sounded unfamiliar, which was not the same as the voice of the masked man in his memory.
So now Xu Junze and Xiao Chen both suspect that Lu Yong is not the real mask man, Lu Yong also said that he didn't know how the mask appeared in his room, this must be framed by someone, and said that even if he let him die, he will die clearly, if he didn't do it, he didn't do it.
If what Lu Yong said is true, he is not really a mask man who collaborates with the enemy and treason, then who will be the mask man? This person has connections with the Xia State and the Chu State, so does Wei Song's death have nothing to do with Lu Yong?
"General, it's not good, White Frost and Inhuman Manro have escaped!" Uncle Chu hurriedly came over and said.
Xu Junze's face moved slightly, these two people were imprisoned in a very secret place by Xiao Chen, how could they escape easily? He asked Lin Shuran to rest first, and he went out with Uncle Chu, these two people were the key people in finding out the spies.
Lin Shuran waited until Xu Junze left, and then asked Lingqin to inform Mei of the news, and then Mei told her that Inhuman Manro used evil magic to turn his and Baishuangshuang's faces into the appearance of the jailer who brought them food, and then the two took the opportunity to escape.
At the same time, a message came out of the city secretly, saying that a historical biography had been lost in the palace, and this book contained a mezzanine, and the mezzanine was the "Ancient Landscape Record", and said that the book was taken out by a small eunuch, but I don't know who the book fell into at this time.
Immediately afterwards, the white prince of the Bai family, a wine merchant, was suddenly killed, and then the young head of the Yan family, a silk merchant, also died in his residence, Xiao Chen found out that they were all injured by the same sharp weapon, and it should be the same person who killed them.
The Beijing Chamber of Commerce originally became panicked because of the last glass poisoning case, and now two of the three giants of the Chamber of Commerce have been killed, and the Chamber of Commerce is falling apart, and I don't know if they will also have an accident next, and now the merchants in the capital are close to the Xu family and the Yaowang Mansion, and the businessmen don't trust the Beijing Chamber of Commerce very much.
"Send someone to check on Zhao Mu, the little prince of the Yao Palace, and the third little Xu Minghan of the Xu family, I suspect that this murder has something to do with them!" Wu Hongchang, the young master of the Wu family, a salt merchant, shot a cold light in his eyes, and he was worried that he would be the next to suffer.
