The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 344 Jinghe Academy
After chatting with Duan Yuerong, Liu Wei felt that he needed to find Yang Wen now.

Since Yang Wen said that he knew the truth of the whole matter, he might really know, and this is why he was willing to go to the prison to see Duan Yuerong.

But where is Yang Wen?
Liu Wei sent people all over the city to look for Yang Wen, no matter what, he must be found.

And when the yamen servants were looking for Yang Wen everywhere, Li Dao and Li Mansion died suddenly.

Li Dao died of smallpox. Yang Wen was infected with smallpox virus. He had frequent contact with Yang Wen, so it was normal for him to be infected. However, his condition was more serious, and he died too late after being inoculated with vaccinia.

After the news spread to the government prison, Li Kai couldn't help crying, he only had one son, but he died, and the crimes he committed would make it difficult to survive, so the Li family is over?

Luo Wangfu.

Li Luo hadn't been out of the house for several days. Apart from being afraid that he would contract smallpox, there were also many guards outside his palace. Since Zhao Kuangyin was assassinated in Chang'an City, the guards had come, and Zhao Kuangyin's intentions were different. He couldn't understand it, that is, he suspected that those assassins were sent by their Li family and Wu family.

This is normal.

Before, their Li family and Wu family mobilized many people to fight against Zhao Kuangyin, so that Zhao Kuangyin knew that they were hostile, and how could people like Zhao Kuangyin not suspect them?
Li Luo sighed, he felt that what he was doing was not very clever, why didn't he think that Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor, it was impossible for him to ignore the stability of his own country for the sake of the Li family?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Luo ordered to go down and not see any guests in the future.

To survive, Zhao Kuangyin must dispel his doubts about himself.
-
The officials in Chang'an City quickly found Yang Wen, but what they found was a dead body. Since Li Dao was infected with smallpox, how could he survive Li Dao's death?

When Yang Wen died, the clues were cut off. After Duan Yuerong learned that Yang Wen was dead, he was very nervous and scared because he was afraid that he would be imprisoned as a murderer again because he had no clues.

She is a woman, and she is a talented and beautiful woman. She feels that she should enjoy the pursuit of thousands of men, instead of being a prisoner in a prison.

When she thought this way, a sad look appeared on her face.

"My lord, the little girl was wronged, you must make the decision for the little girl..."

The gentle voice and sad emphasis are hard for any man to resist, and Liu Wei is no exception. Looking at this lovely and pitiful man, Liu Wei nodded lightly: "Don't worry, if you are wronged, I won't let you You feel a little wronged."

After talking to Duan Yuerong, Ling'er walked out: "My lord, what do you want to do now?"

"Go to Jinghe Academy, maybe you can find a clue there."

Ling'er didn't understand the matter of solving the case, but she felt that since it was something Liu Wei decided, it must be right.

Jinghe Academy did not plummet after Duan Shi's death. On the contrary, because of the death of Duan Shi, an unruly dean, Jinghe Academy showed a scene of prosperity instead.

Of course, all of this is inseparable from the efforts of Gu Yu, the current dean of Jinghe Academy.

As far as Liu Wei knows, Gu Yu became the dean of Jinghe Academy, vigorously promoted Jinghe Academy, and even spent money to completely renovate the environment of Jinghe Academy, so that the scholars in Chang'an City can have a good study experience. place.

There are really not many people like him who make selfless dedication to education.

Gu Yu is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was very polite when he saw Liu Wei. The two sat down in the living room, and the good tea was served immediately.

"Master Liu is here, what can I do?"

"I am here to investigate the case of Duan Shi's murder. I wonder if Dean Gu has any clues to provide?"

"This..." Gu Yu was a little surprised, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but soon, he smiled again: "Isn't this case closed?"

"The officer found another doubtful point."

"Oh, what's so suspicious?"

Liu Wei frowned slightly, and instead of answering Gu Yu's question, he asked directly: "What did Dean Gu do in Jinghe Academy before?"

"Master Liu is suspicious?"

"Ask as usual." Liu Wei said, but he thought to himself, why did Gu Yu ask such a question, did he have a ghost in his heart?
"I used to be the vice president. After Duan Shi's death, I was promoted to the dean. To be honest, Duan Shi's death has fulfilled me."

Liu Wei smiled: "Do you have anything to say about Duan Shi's death?"

"No, I wasn't in the academy at the time. I went home to reunite with my family last winter. I didn't know until two days after Duan Shi's death that a student came to tell me about it."

"I don't know who is this student who ran to tell you?"

Gu Yu was taken aback, and said, "Yang Wen."

"Yang Wen is dead." Liu Wei said coldly.

Gu Yu frowned slightly, and then stopped talking.

He really didn't have anything to say. Liu Wei obviously wanted to tell him that Yang Wen is dead. No one can verify what you just said, so you are still suspicious.

Seeing that Gu Yu was silent, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said, "Where is Duan Shi buried?"

"It's on the back mountain of the academy."

"I want to see it."

"Okay, I will lead you there."

Liu Wei led a group of people to the back mountain, and those people were holding shovels in their hands, which made Gu Yu feel uneasy.

The back mountain is very lush, and you can faintly smell the fragrance of birds and flowers. After arriving at Duan Shi's grave, Liu Wei immediately ordered someone to dig it. Well, the dead are the most important, even if he behaved badly before, he can't be trampled on like this, this... this is going to be retribution."

Just as Gu Yu finished speaking, Liu Wei stared at him coldly.

"President Gu, I am solving the case. If you have any intention of obstructing me, don't blame me for punishing you."

This sentence obviously played a role. After he finished speaking, Gu Yu really didn't dare to stop him. The guards quickly dug up Duan Shi's grave, opened the coffin, and a stench came over his face, but because it was buried in the ground For a long time, only a pile of bones remained in the coffin.

Zhugepi glanced at the bone and said, "My lord, this bone..."

"Bone test."

Liu Wei only said one sentence. If he wanted to know the cause of Duan Shi's death, there was only a bone test now. After Liu Wei said this, Zhuge Pi hurriedly ordered someone to prepare for the bone test. "Jilu" has been studied, so the bone test method written above is also clear. Liu Wei wants to have a bone test, and he prepares it immediately.

The bone examination needs to prepare a cellar. First use charcoal fire to calcine, with ground red as the standard. After removing the fire, pour two liters of good wine and five liters of sour vinegar into the cellar, and carry the bones into the pit while it is hot. Cover it well, steam the bones for an hour or two, remove the bedding after the ground is cold, and lift out the bones.

Then use a red oil umbrella to block the sun to examine the bones.

After Liu Wei examined the corpse, he showed a slight smile, and then ordered the corpse to be buried again without saying anything.
-
After leaving Jinghe Academy, Zhugepi was a little puzzled: "My lord, what did you find out about that corpse?"

"There is no red work on the bones, which means that the deceased did not receive a fatal blow during his lifetime. If Duan Yuerong's knife was the cause of death, we should be able to find red work on his ribs, but unfortunately not."

"What was the cause of that stone's death?" Zhuge Pi was a little puzzled.

Liu Wei smiled: "He died from poisoning. There was a dark red in the throat of the deceased, which was obviously left after the venom penetrated into the neck bone."

"Poisoned to death?"

Liu Wei nodded: "That's right, he died of poisoning, so this case is very problematic, and the most problematic people are people who are very close to Duan Shi, close enough to poison Duan Shi, you send someone to investigate, see Looking at the money of Duan Shi's death, he had contact with someone."

Speaking of this, Liu Wei suddenly remembered Yang Wen's words. Yang Wen told Duan Yuerong that he knew who the murderer was, but how could he know? How could he be sure that Duan Yuerong was innocent? In fact, if someone who could poison Duan Shi , Duan Yuerong is definitely one of them.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei ordered Zhugepi again: "In addition to investigating people who are close to Duan Shi, investigate Yang Wen's friends to see if Yang Wen has said anything to them. I think Yang Wen is here. The case was critical, and he knew things we didn't."

Zhugepi nodded and quickly agreed, but just as the two returned to the mansion, a white pigeon suddenly landed on a small tree in the courtyard of the mansion. Liu Wei grabbed the pigeon and took off the pigeon's legs After the note on the paper, the pigeon was released again.

This is the carrier pigeon of their gentleman hall. The carrier pigeon came from the capital. It must be a letter sent by Qiushuang. After Liu Wei opened it and read it, his brows frowned slightly. However, they recruited officials wantonly in the court, and now almost half of the officials from other places are under the command of King Wu Zhao Dezhao. Qiu Shuang wanted to know what Liu Wei was going to do.

After reading the letter, Liu Wei already had an understanding of the situation in the capital. In fact, this is also very easy to understand. Now that King Wu Zhao Dezhao is in charge of the country, those officials from other places must think that Zhao Dezhao will become the prince.

But faced with such a problem, Liu Wei only smiled, and then wrote Qiushuang a reply letter. His reply letter was very simple, that is, stand still and do nothing. Zhao Dezhao wanted to swallow half of the officials of the Song Dynasty, but it was a bit embarrassing. He had to be able to digest it if he could swallow it.

And the situation in the capital, just as Liu Wei thought, was not as smooth as Wu Wang Zhao Dezhao thought.
