Chapter 30: Hidden Clues
As for the disciples of Tianchang Academy, they can ask questions to their master at any time, they don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they can enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment from the academy
Of course, the most important thing is that in the imperial examination, you can also get a handwritten recommendation from the head of Tianchang Academy, which is similar to the number of guaranteed students, which is very rare.
If all the harvested disciples enter the room, think about it, just to compete for that recommendation, you will definitely grab the head!
Lin Fengjin keenly grasped the mentality of Shen or Shen Ke at this time:
That is, he has heard some rumors, and his mentality of cherishing talents has been moved, but the series of plans he showed before, whether it is-for-tat with the Donglin Zhuzi on the return pavilion, or calculating revenge on Lu Ping in the lecture hall, all show his unruliness.
For Shen Ke, the only reason why he was willing to recruit Lin Fengjin into the room was that he had the talent to write a couplet of "wind and rain", but if this assumption was true, Lin Fengjin's series of plans in the lecture hall showed that he was scheming and vindictive.
No matter what age it is, teachers, and even parents, always want their sons to be well-behaved, safe, and honest. The last thing I want is for the student or son to be unruly, cause trouble everywhere, and make the family into a miasma!
Obviously, if Lin Fengjin was recruited into the inner gate, what would Lu Ping and Ou Qi think? They would inevitably have a conflict, and it was impossible for Shen Ke not to ignore this, and what he was even more worried about was that Lu Ping and Ou Qi together might not be Lin Fengjin's opponent! In this way, I was afraid that there would be no peace in the Tianchang Academy from now on.
Therefore, Shen Dao or Shen Ke is conniving at the scholars in the academy to isolate and suppress Lin Fengjian, in order to sharpen and observe his temperament to see if he can bear it, if he feels that Lin Fengjin has this strength. Then take him in.
But I was afraid that he would be young and vigorous, and he would not be able to guess his intentions, so he left angrily, so he played such a dumb riddle, asking him to "not be happy with things, not to be sad with himself", abandon all foreign things and gossip, and concentrate on reading.
Facing the deep meaning of Shen Zhi and Shen Ke, Lin Fengjin just smiled, every thing he had done before. Including throwing out the famous couplet of "wind and rain" at that time and place, he has his own intentions. At this time, almost everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, how can it be possible to make temporary changes for the sake of Shen or Shen Ke's move?
At this time, Lin Fengjin had more important things to do, that is, Daoist Fu, who was out, finally hurried back, because he got a crucial piece of information according to the clues that Lin Fengjin found from the case file!
On that day, after reading the case file. Lin Fengjin wrote down three breakthrough points, and added two more after the last.
The first point is: You Fang Langzhong.
The second main point is: the official Lao He.
The third point is: mass graves in the west of the city.
These three points have been secretly verified, and Cui Shijie's body can no longer be found in the mass grave in the west of the city because of the long time. And the biggest suspicion, You Fang Langzhong has no clue, and the official Lao He moved his family back to his hometown thousands of miles away two years ago, and he couldn't find anything valuable.
Fortunately, Lin Fengjin later found another breakthrough! This breakthrough was not recorded in the case file at all. can only be inferred: that is, Cui Shijie actually has three daughters, but it is clear that there are only two daughters when he is sent to the temple to change!
For what?
The reason is that the eldest daughter was married two years before the incident.
The eldest daughter of the Cui family is the fourth breakthrough that Lin Fengjin wrote about.
In fact, Lin Fengjin had already noticed something. That is, before the Cuijiazhuang tragedy, there had never been a plague in this county where the entire village was exterminated!
In the past three years, there have been a total of eight plagues that followed, and without exception, all of them were caused by the Tong people's villages! Of these eight plagues, four of them appeared between October last year and January this year.
If there is someone behind this, then it goes without saying that the target of the plague is aimed at the Tong people, which is aimed at the blind spots of local officials and even the entire imperial court to discriminate against the Tong people.
If there is a strong plague in a Han village, not to mention eight cases, even two cases in a row, the magistrate will immediately pay attention to it, and even the county guard must give priority to dealing with it. As for the life and death of the Tong people, the county order has the attitude that more is better than less, and his own private investigation will definitely not report it to affect his performance, and the county guard will not pay attention to it.
There is a very strange question here, since the black hand behind the scenes knows how powerful it is, why do you want to attack Cuijiazhuang - to be precise, the owner of Cui Shijie?
After thinking about it carefully, it can be deduced that Cui Shijie's family must have something behind the scenes that wants to obtain, so he will blatantly attack regardless of the attention that will attract the attention of the government. And after he got something, he entered a new stage, so he only attacked the Tongren village.
In fact, from the beginning to the end of the tragedy in Cuijia Village, there were probably only about 20 people killed, and the rest of the villagers were scattered in fear, either joining their relatives or integrating into the rest of the villages.
Therefore, the person he sent to Daoist Fu to find was the eldest daughter of the Cui family.
Although the eldest daughter of the Cui family got married two years ago, after all, she has lived in Cuijiazhuang for more than ten years, and the key person in this case, Cui Shijie, is her father, and the two women who suddenly behaved strangely after serving the temple and ate raw meat were her sisters.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin felt that from this eldest daughter, he could at least learn some general information about Cuijiazhuang, and this would probably become a very critical breakthrough!
Lin Fengjin's guess is right, although Daoist Fu is obscene, he will be able to steal chickens and dogs, and it seems that he is extremely undecent, but he is invincible in this regard!
He pretended to be a Taoist priest of Youfang - or it could be a performance in his true colors, so he went to the village where the eldest daughter of the Cui family got married, picked up the old fortune teller, picked up a banner of "iron mouth straight break, super wrong" and began to pretend to be a ghost.
Because Daoist Fu has the financial support of Lin Fengjin, and he himself is still a little half-witted Maoshan technique, firstly, it is cheap, and secondly, it is decent to pretend to be a ghost, so he quickly won the trust of the local villagers.
This old fritter originally came prepared, investigated the matter of the eldest daughter of the Cui family clearly, and then made her dizzy for a while, saying that her dead old man and two sisters were suffering in the underworld.
The eldest daughter of the Cui family immediately cried, and then begged Taoist Fu to overtake the wrongs, and Taoist Fu set up a mourning hall in her home, and lit a special incense stick when she knelt down in the middle of the night and was sleepy.
The original use of this kind of ecstasy incense is very dirty, but this slut is used to stun the owner of the house, and then use it as a thief, and it is not unheard of to rape and deceive women by the way, but at this time, it was only for the eldest daughter of the Cui family to suck a little, so that she was in a state of unconsciousness similar to that after being drunk in modern terms.
As the saying goes, after drinking, he spit out the truth, and then used ecstasy to perform a two-pronged approach, in the eyes of the eldest daughter of the Cui family, she is the general existence of the city god, almost knowing everything, and saying everything. So from her mouth, she really asked out some unusual places about the Cui family!
"Every year when the Cui family is sacrificing, there is an additional statue on the ancestral tablet?" Lin Fengjin frowned and took a pen to record this. "You continue. ”
Lewd Fu was very slippery and treacherous in front of the rest of the people, but in front of Lin Fengjin, he seemed very honest, and immediately said:
"The Cui family celebrates the New Year Festival twice a year, once it is clear, that is, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Han people, but the other time is behind closed doors on the ninth day of September every year, but it is to eat tuotuo meat and drink pole wine. ”
"What!!" After Lin Fengjin heard the news, he stood up in surprise all of a sudden, why would this be the case? That's because eating lump meat and drinking pole wine mentioned by Lewd Fu is the custom of the local Tong people when they celebrate their New Year, just like setting off firecrackers and pasting Spring Festival couplets in the Han New Year!
His mind quickly spun, which means that the Cui family, at least Cui Shijie's family, is probably not Han people, at least, although they live like Han people on the surface, in fact, they still haven't forgotten their identity as Tong people!
It can be seen from the fact that the people around him do not know that Cui Shijie's family is a member of the Tong nationality, and the time when Cui Shijie's family joined the Han nationality is at least more than three generations, close to a hundred years, will be forgotten to this extent, and even the government has not recorded it clearly.
At this time, it is not so easy to change the nationality, not that the Tong people want to be sinicized, then you are a Han Chinese, but it must be the ruler to reward the gifts! This point, even the ethnic minorities themselves, also take it for granted.
For example, in the Song Dynasty in history, a certain tribal leader of Western Xia took refuge in the Song Dynasty, and the emperor Zhao Xiang was overjoyed, so he gave the surname He to the leader of this tribe, indicating that you will be a Han surname from now on, and if you work hard, then you can become a glorious Han person, but the leader of this tribe admires Bao Qingtian, so he asked to change his surname to Bao, and was approved by the emperor - if you want to be given the surname Zhao like the emperor, at least you have to be the royal family of Western Xia!
