The reasoning is complete.
It was quiet outside.
Di Jin grinned secretly.
How should I put it... As expected of you, this reasoning is simply too far-fetched!
However, Pan Chengju's tone was passionate and sonorous, which really calmed everyone in the academy.
I felt vaguely that something was wrong, but what the other party said seemed to make sense, and I couldn't tell exactly what was wrong.
The first to bear the brunt were the three suspects.
The old man was obviously not Guo Chengshou, but there was anger in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The county lieutenant insulted my young master's reputation in vain, I really shouldn't!"
Yang Wencai's face turned pale and pale, and he coughed angrily: "You are weak... cough cough... slander... cough cough cough!"
Only Lei Cheng scratched his head and muttered: "So that's what happened, then it's okay!"
Di Jin noticed that when Pan Chengju stated the reasons for his judgment of the three suspects, Lei Tingting also obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and Mr. Mo also lowered his head slightly, returning to his normal appearance.
Judging from the family's reaction, is Lei Cheng not weak?
So why did you fail the riding and shooting class?
Di Xiangling was also curious and asked in a low voice: "There are still students here who can ride and shoot?"
Di Jin replied in a low voice: "Yes, that is a big class in the academy and everyone must participate."
Literati in the Song Dynasty rode horses to and from get off work. On the one hand, riding in sedans had to bear the moral pressure of treating humans as animals. On the other hand, they would be ridiculed for being weak and looked down upon by their colleagues.
Under such a general environment, of course, any academy that has the conditions to do so will not completely abandon "improving" and "shooting" among the six arts of the gentleman. Shuxiu is so expensive, and there are also expenses in this regard.
Until Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism flourished.
Under the needs of feudal rule, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism distorted many ideas and was severely stigmatized. However, one thing is undeniable. Er Cheng did simplify Confucianism.
This is very important for civilians, allowing more people to obtain knowledge at a low cost, but it also causes more and more Confucian scholars to lose their liberal temperament and become useless scholars...
By that period, the riding and shooting courses were really gone, and the method of narrowing down the scope of suspicion by physical strength was simply not feasible, because most of the students in the academy were weak scholars who could not lift with their hands or carry on their shoulders.
In today's era, Confucianism still retains its aristocratic and elitist temperament, and Pan Chengju can clearly judge the physical strength of his students with their scores.
Objective facts speak for themselves and are very convincing.
But at this moment, Di Jin took a step forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Pan County Lieutenant, could you give me the list of results for the riding and archery class?"
"Who is this person?" "I know, he is from the Di family in Taiyuan, after the former Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Di Lianggong!" "The one who took the bandit, I heard that he will also enter the academy!" "This My classmates can do it too..."
Compared to the side-to-side exchanges between students and lecturers, Pan Chengju felt a little resentful: "Di Shilin, what do you want?"
He had also heard before that Lei Huhu was going to be rewarded with tens of thousands of yuan. Now that he saw the Di family and the Lei family coming forward together, he naturally thought that the other party was attracted by the rich man.
Di Jin said sincerely: "Pan County Lieutenant, I am here to solve the case as soon as possible and return the academy to a peaceful learning atmosphere. I have no intention of protecting anyone."
Facing the other party's bright and clear eyes, Pan Chengju hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Give it to him!"
Soon, a stack of single records was carried by the Yamen servant and brought to the front.
The report cards of this era, of course, do not have numerical scores, nor are they excellent, average or poor, but more of brief comments from teachers.
Praising and praising, guarding against arrogance and arrogance, comments about being the best student;
Comments that point out shortcomings and look forward to improvement are excellent and good;
As for those who were completely unqualified and could basically give up, the comments were more tactful and mixed with a few polite words of encouragement.
After all, it is a noble college.
From a quantitative point of view, this group of students may not be hardworking enough, but their riding and shooting results are generally satisfactory. After all, both of them are also related to fun. If they are not good at riding, how can they be able to show off their horses?
Di Jin took a rough look at it, pulled out a directory, and said, "Lei Sanlang?"
Lei Cheng turned around blankly, cupped his hands and said, "It's me!"
"You are not qualified in riding and archery because you are not willing to mount the horse or draw the bow at all, but you are not weak. On the contrary, with your strength, most people cannot reach it... Is that so?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and some sneered. It was absolutely impossible that this little fat man who didn't even dare to mount a horse was stronger than him!
Lei Cheng scratched his head and looked at his sister subconsciously.
Lei Tingting gave an encouraging look: "Third brother, show them how awesome you are!"
Lei Cheng nodded, glanced around, and walked towards the pavilion not far away.
The onlookers watched helplessly as he walked into the pavilion, spread out his palms, spat twice, then reached out to grab the stone table and suddenly raised it.
Easily.
"hiss--"
Not to mention that all the students and lecturers gasped, Pan Chengju's eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out.
He had seen cases where teachers were bribed to improve their grades just to make themselves look fat and avoid being ridiculed by other students. This was the first time he had seen this kind of person who deliberately made himself worse!
Are you sick?
"Huh……"
Di Xiangling's eyes moved: "This power transport technique is somewhat familiar, but it's wrong. Isn't his surname Lei?"
"Okay, okay, you can put it down now!"
Di Jin saw that the little fat man had extraordinary skills, but he did not expect that the other party's supernatural power was so powerful. It was justifiable: "It can be seen that the performance of the riding and archery class does not represent physical strength. County Captain Pan's analysis of the case is indeed... reasonable. But such screening is not rigorous!”
Pan Chengju frowned. To be fair, although he disdained public revenge, he would still subconsciously be biased when he found out that the Lei family was suspected. Lei Hu looked like an arrogant bully.
But now Lei Cheng's performance left him speechless. After a moment of silence, he admitted his mistake: "Okay! I did misunderstand, you can get over it!"
Lei Cheng put down the stone table, moved his arms, and walked into the crowd. Lei Tingting quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the brother's non-existent sweat, and he suddenly grinned.
Three suspects, one went.
Yang Wencai saw him and said quickly: "I also have something to say!"
After Pan Chengju looked at the general, he pointed at the stone bench: "Go and lift a stone bench, and I will no longer doubt you!"
Yang Wencai was silent.
But the old servant of the Guo family said: "My young master comes from a well-known family. He has been very talented since he was a child. He is proficient in calligraphy and painting, knows piano and chess, is good at poetry, and has many excellent works. Unfortunately, he is physically weak. It is a problem brought from his mother's womb. I don't know. We have invited many famous doctors, but after arriving at the academy, most of them were bedridden. Why, Captain Pan, did you ruin the reputation of my young master with such unnecessary speculation?"
Pan Chengju gave the old servant a cold look and ignored him completely.
In ancient times, even if the county captain had such power, he was still gentle. Even if he had the slightest doubt, he would give in and get beaten up. But this Guo Chengshou is a relative of the emperor and has not shown his face so far. How can he get a good face?
Are relatives great? The thing that the Song Dynasty was least afraid of was their relatives. At worst, they would stab them and see who dared to protect them!
"Squeak!"
At this moment, the door of the room opened, and Wu Zuo stepped over the brazier and walked out.
Everyone immediately stepped back. Di Jin stood still and found that Wu Zuo was a man in his forties or fifties, with his head slightly lowered, a dull look on his face, and a strange smell on his body.
Pan Chengju also didn't dislike it very much. He took over the corpse and glanced at it: "The test showed that Gelsemium poison was indeed added to the tea soup."
Gelsemium may sound unfamiliar, but if it is called another name, it is famous. It is one of the top ten most poisonous plants.
There are actually dozens of species of plants that are known as gallbladders among the people. The one that is recognized to be the most toxic is Gelsemium elegans. “If half of the leaves are taken into the mouth, it will die immediately. If taken with running water, the poison is particularly rapid, often causing the plant to die.” The bet has been lost."
Compared with arsenic at this time, which was used by Taoists to make alchemy, and what was on the market were crudely processed products. It had not yet established its position as a poison in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Brokenheart grass was indeed a more authoritative poison.
Di Jin's eyes were fixed on everyone. Lei Cheng was talking in a low voice to his sister. Yang Wencai looked ugly and seemed to be talking to himself. Only the old servant of the Guo family changed his expression uncontrollably.
Pan Chengju also looked over and shouted coldly: "Take out your young master's medicine list, I want to take a look!"
