The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 346
Finding someone is not an easy task, especially in Chang'an City in the Great Song Dynasty.

The people Zhugepi sent out searched for several days but could not find any trace of the rich businessman and Cuicui, but they did inquire about the situation of Jinghe Academy.

"My lord, since Duan Shi's death, Jinghe Academy has undergone many changes. It is said that Duan Shi has a regional background. His academy only accepts people from Chang'an who are native to the city, and does not accept anyone from other places. But since Gu Yu became the upper courtyard After growing up, he let go of this policy, so now Jinghe Academy not only has scholars from Chang'an City, but also many scholars from other places."

"Oh, are there any scholars there?"

"Basically, there are places from all over the world. You should know that Chang'an City is a sacred place in the hearts of many scholars. If you can come to Chang'an to study, it will be a lifetime dream for many scholars."

Liu Wei nodded, he knew that what Zhuge Pi said was true, and even in later dramas, when a scholar rushes to take an exam, the first thing that comes to mind is Chang'an.

After Zhugepi finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment: "My lord, there doesn't seem to be any doubt about it. I think we should focus on finding that rich businessman and Cuicui."

Liu Wei thought for a while: "If that rich businessman and Cui Cui were really the ones who planned to poison Duan Shi, don't you find it strange?"

"strangeness?"

"Yes, what grudge do they have with Duan Shi? Why did they poison Duan Shi to death? Is it because the rich businessman wants to redeem Cui Cui? If he wants to redeem Cui Cui, Duan Shi can't do anything about it?"

Speaking of this, Liu Wei continued: "According to our investigation, Duan Shi did not abuse Cui Cui, and Cui Cui really had no reason to kill Duan Shi, so the only reasonable explanation is that the rich businessman and Cui Cui There are other people behind the scenes, and they left just to disappear."

Zhugepi's heart sank, and he said: "So, the two of them may have a lot of luck?"

Liu Wei nodded: "That's right, so we should focus on Jinghe Academy. In this way, if you go and send a letter to the scholars of Jinghe Academy, it means that the sun is bright and beautiful, and I want to summon these senior officials in the government office. The pillars of talent after the Song Dynasty, by the way, also discuss poetry."

"Your Excellency, do you want to?"

"Try it out."

Zhugepi quickly nodded in response, and at this moment, Liu Wei turned and went to Duan Yuerong's room.

Duan Yuerong's body is already healed. When she is free, she likes to stay in the house and read a book by the window. That look is the most fascinating. Sometimes she can't help but recite a poem or two, which is even more fascinating. I think of many allusions about Qin, Se and Ming.

When Liu Wei entered the room, Duan Yuerong was startled, and quickly saluted, Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "Miss Duan, you have not been short in Jinghe Academy, who do you think is the most talented person in Jinghe Academy?" , Liu Wei was afraid that Duan Yuerong might misunderstand, and said again: "Only for men."

Duan Yuerong was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look of contempt: "Does Master Liu also think that women's lack of talent is virtue? Or when it comes to talent, they say it's only for men?"

Hearing Duan Yuerong's words, Liu Wei couldn't help but smiled wryly. He was only limited to men to better understand the situation of those people. Do you, Duan Yuerong, still need to know?
"I don't mean that, but you just need to answer my question." Liu Wei's words suddenly became serious. Although he had a crush on Duan Yuerong, he still didn't want Duan Yuerong to forget his dignity in front of him.

Everyone in the world says that a talented man is lonely, but why not a talented woman?Liu Wei doesn't object to talented people being a little bit aloof, but if they are too aloof, they will be hypocritical, and hypocritical people mostly feel cheap.

Liu Wei's tone changed slightly, and Duan Yuerong already sensed something was wrong, so she didn't dare to dwell on this issue, and said: "Among the men, there are two people with the best talents, and they are Guo Mingcai and Han Leng."

Speaking of this, Duan Yuerong suddenly asked curiously: "Why do you ask this, sir?"

"Tomorrow, the official will invite these talents to the government office, so let's find out in advance, is Miss Duan interested in coming together?"

Today's Duan Yuerong is still wearing a sinful body, and it stands to reason that she has no freedom, and since the last incident, Duan Yuerong doesn't like to show off in front of those scholars, but for some reason, when Liu Wei proposed the invitation, she was still She really wanted to go, as if there was a voice calling in her heart. Tomorrow Chang'an will gather talented scholars, which is a rare event. Liu Wei may also compose poems and lyrics. Wouldn't she miss it if she doesn't go?

So after some hesitation, Duan Yuerong nodded.

Gu Yu quietly went to the White Mansion.

Bai Guan was a little surprised by Gu Yu's arrival, and also a little angry.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you that the two of us had better not see each other often? What if someone from Liu Wei finds out?"

Gu Yu looked anxious, and said: "Deacon Bai, I came here as a last resort. Today, Liu Wei sent someone to Jinghe Academy to send a message, asking the scholars of Jinghe Academy to discuss poetry in the Taoist government office tomorrow. The subordinate thought in his heart, then Did Liu Wei discover something, this... this, if he really discovered something, what should we do?"

Bai Guan frowned slightly: "What can he find out? Now he is just confused at most. What are you afraid of? Besides, you have already joined the Dark One, don't you know our rules? For our ultimate goal, death counts." what?"

Gu Yu's heart sank. When he joined the Dark Organization, he really put life and death behind him, but now that he has become the dean of Jinghe Academy, he suddenly loves life. Now he is loved by others. Respect, there are several beautiful wives in the family, he hasn't finished enjoying life yet, he really doesn't want to die.

But Bai Guan must not let Bai Guan know about these situations.

"What Deacon Bai said is very true. The subordinate understands what to do, but the subordinate thinks that we should be fully prepared."

"Don't worry, you just have to deal with Liu Wei, we've almost found Zhao Jingniang's clues here, and our revenge will be completed soon."

Gu Yu had no doubts about Bai Guan's words. Bai Guan had been in Chang'an City for many years, and there were spies all over the city. As long as Zhao Jingniang was in Chang'an City, their Dark Organization would definitely be able to find him.

Gu Yu nodded, and then quickly backed away.

post house.

King Jin and King Wei soon found out that Liu Wei wanted to invite scholars from Chang'an. After they both found out, they felt a little strange and puzzled, why Liu Wei suddenly wanted to summon scholars from Chang'an City.

Soon it will be the imperial examination for the third year of the Song Dynasty. Does Liu Wei want to take this opportunity to accumulate his own strength?
In the officialdom, it is normal to have such doubts.

However, King Jin was quite cautious. He had doubts, so he sent people to investigate, and even called Liu Wei to inquire. After Liu Wei explained his intentions, King Jin was finally relieved, and spoke to him earnestly. Said that the current situation in the court is sensitive, if he doesn't speak clearly, some people with ulterior motives will use it to make a fuss after they find out.

When King Jin and Liu Wei met alone in the posthouse, King Wei began to suspect, could it be that Liu Wei did this for King Jin and to help King Jin accumulate strength?

After thinking this way, King Wei frowned deeply. He felt that he could take advantage of this matter. Regardless of Liu Wei's intentions, it was possible for him to use this to form a clique. As long as it was possible, he could take advantage of it.

However, just as King Wei thought so, after Liu Wei left the posthouse, Liu Wei suddenly felt that what King Jin said was very reasonable. It would be a little inappropriate for him to meet Chang'an scholars here without telling Zhao Kuangyin.

For this reason, he hurriedly went to the palace and told Zhao Kuangyin his purpose for tomorrow. Zhao Kuangyin learned that Liu Wei did this to solve the case, so he didn't say anything else because of it. He was just a little strange. Why is Liu Wei so attentive?
When he was in the capital, Liu Wei seldom said that he was running around like this for a case. After all, Liu Wei is a person who does big things, and people who do big things should devote all their energy to national affairs, rather than thinking about how to solve the case.

He always felt that Liu Wei was not interested in solving the case.

But in Chang'an City, Liu Wei was so interested in Duan Yuerong's murder.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly thought of a possibility. Duan Yuerong is a beauty and a talented woman. In fact, she is a good match for a talented person like Liu Wei. Could it be that Liu Wei did all this to help Duan Yuerong?Because he likes Duan Yuerong?

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin hesitated a little. He knew that Liu Wei was a man, and it was unreasonable for him to have only Princess Ruyi as a woman. What's more, Liu Wei was a capable man, and he could let his son-in-law of the Song Dynasty also marry a concubine. He really didn't dare to set this precedent. If there was such a precedent, then concubines would be able to marry concubines in the future, so where would he put Da Song's face?
The women of the Song royal family had to be different from other women.

After thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyin felt that he had to warn Liu Wei.

"Liu Concubine, it's fine to hand over such a case to the people below. You should help me find Jingniang as soon as possible. That Duan Yuerong is a talented woman, but it's not worth it for you to sacrifice everything."

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words, Liu Wei thought it was weird at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that Zhao Kuangyin wanted to persuade himself not to forget his identity, and he used to like to call himself Liu Aiqing, but this This time, he suddenly called his son-in-law?
Liu Wei has a good impression of Duan Yuerong, but he still has a sense of how to do things, and he doesn't think that a talented woman like Duan Yuerong will like him.

So he quickly expressed his understanding of Zhao Kuangyin's admonition, but he said that the case still needs to be investigated.

Because he felt that this case was not simple, not as simple as an ordinary murder case, and the things involved behind this case might be enough to shock Chang'an and even the entire Song Dynasty.
