"It's been so long, are there any clues?"
When I got home, it was completely dark, and Di Xiangling just came out of the kitchen to bring food and asked about the situation.
“It smells so good!”
Di Jin sat down and opened the lid. An alluring aroma hit his nostrils, which made him tremble. Just when he was about to reach out to pick up the biggest piece, Di Xiangling opened it: "Go and wash your hands. This is your request." Oh my, why have I forgotten it now!"
"The meat cooked by my sister is so delicious, I can't help it!"
Di Jin smiled and went into the kitchen to wash his hands before serving the table. He recounted Guo Chengshou's experience in the hospital, and finally concluded: "He was indeed avoiding death in Hao Prison. The thick stack of medicine lists and his indifference to life and death The attitude is inconsistent, and it is likely that it was deliberately prepared, and Gelsemium elegans may actually be part of the medicine used."
Di Xiangling asked curiously: "Gelsemium is a highly poisonous substance. Can it be used as medicine?"
Di Jin explained: "Ordinary doctors would not dare to prescribe it, but it does have medicinal value."
Not to mention Gelsemium, arsenic is medicinal. It was used as a veterinary medicine in the late Tang Dynasty and was also used to treat human malaria. You must know that for a long time in ancient times, the disease that posed the greatest threat to the health of northerners was malaria. .
However, whether arsenic or Gelsemium is used, they are all folk remedies. Doctors do not dare to use this kind of medicine in normal prescriptions, because the dosage is difficult to control and it will become poison if you are not careful, so it is better not to use it.
It is entirely possible that Guo Chengshou was sick all the year round and his family was wealthy. He hired a famous doctor and prescribed Gelsemium elegans.
Di Xiangling said: "Then if he wants to poison Hao Jianyuan, he has a ready-made method. Has the case been solved? Very good, you can successfully enter the school!"
"That's exactly why it's so hard to say!"
Di Jin said slowly: "If someone wants to frame the crime, Guo Chengshou is a good target. There is also a second reasonable explanation for the poisoning method."
"Yes! If Gelsemium is found in the medicine list, Guo Chengshou will be a serious suspect!" Di Xiangling nodded, but he was puzzled: "But why is he guilty? Based on this alone, there is nothing that can be done to the Guo family Bar?"
Di Jin's mouth was already bulging: "The last link is still missing. Hao Supervisor said yesterday that a certain student made a big mistake. The matter has not been clarified yet. If the motive is confirmed, Guo Chengshou's suspicion will be deal……"
Di Xiangling also started to eat, obviously he didn't like the high-ranking disciples: "The Guo family is indeed rich, but our Di family is really not interested in having ancestral friendship with such a wealthy family. If he hadn't committed any crime, it would be really bad." People must not be tolerated!"
Di Jin nodded slightly.
In fact, the Song Dynasty no longer had any high-ranking disciples in the true sense. The chaos of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties completely wiped out the once-high-ranking aristocratic families.
Of course, this does not mean that the glorious bloodlines of those ancestors have been cut off. There are still many great clans that have survived, but they have lost the local power that matched their reputation in the past.
Therefore, although the Lei family is just a mere businessman, the Guo family is one of the top wealthy families in Bingzhou, but Di Xiangling pays more attention to the former, because Lei Hu is very difficult to mess with, regardless of his personal bravery or the desperados raised by his subordinates.
Exactly in the early morning of the next day, the Lei family's carriage stopped at the door again. Lei Tingting got out of the car and made an invitation: "Brother of the Di family, do you want to go to the academy?"
Her titles became more and more affectionate, but Di Jin still had the same attitude of being neither far nor near: "Miss Lei, are you going to find your brother?"
Lei Tingting nodded: "Yes, the murderer has not been caught yet, so I am always a little worried. My third brother is timid, so I will go and accompany him..."
Lei Cheng carried the stone table around easily, but he seemed to be a timid child among his family members. Di Jin also found it interesting and waved to Lin Xiaoyi, who was a little scared next to him: "Then let's go!"
The Lei family's horse was indeed comfortable and much taller than the rented ponies on the market. The group arrived at Jinyang Academy, and before they found Lei Cheng, they found a group of students and lecturers hurriedly heading to the backyard.
Many people also recognized Di Jin and knew that he would soon be his classmate, so they greeted him: "Go to the backyard quickly, something big is happening!"
Di Jin followed quickly, and from a distance he saw the people in the academy forming a half circle, and in the middle stood a scholar wearing a scholar's blouse, simple attire, thin cheeks, and a haggard face.
In the yard, Guo Chengshou's old servant and book boy were there. The book boy seemed to rush out, but the old servant held him back, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Everyone!!"
It wasn't until everyone who came from all directions had almost arrived that the scholar suddenly shouted loudly, completely attracting all the attention, and introduced himself: "Xiaosheng Liu Changyan, courtesy name Ziwen, came from a poor family in his early years, and studied hard. I was lucky enough to get the first place in the Bingzhou Examination!"
"Is it him?" "How did the dignified Yizhou Jieyuan become so downcast?" "Huh? I remember that Liu Jieyuan and... the one inside are good friends!"
Jieyuan was the first person in the first examination of the imperial examination. He could be regarded as the number one scholar in a local state. Although the title of a scholar in the Song Dynasty did not play a big role, Jieyuan still had a status in the local area. Therefore, as soon as the scholar introduced him, someone immediately came to him. Recognized him.
The key lies in the words that follow. The former Jie Yuan said coldly to the courtyard: "Guo Chengshou, the grandson of the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty and the nephew of the late emperor. Some people call him the most talented person in Bingzhou. His "Yutang Collection" " was circulated by various families, and they all praised the beautiful lyrics and exquisite use of allusions. However..."
He took out something from the bag he was carrying and held it high above his head: "The poems and articles in "Yutang Collection" are the work of a niche student!"
The students in the academy were whispering, but upon hearing this, they suddenly became uproar.
Di Jin's expression also became serious.
Plagiarizing other people's works was the most serious accusation for literati in ancient times. Once confirmed, their reputation would be ruined.
After all, poetry and articles are the foundation of literati. These are all fake, and any other value derived from them will collapse.
Not just plagiarism, Liu Changyan also continued: "The day before yesterday, Xiaosheng informed Hao Jianyuan of your academy about this matter. Hao Jianyuan was kind-hearted and took into account Guo Chengshou's physical weakness. He was willing to give him a chance to admit his mistakes. Unexpectedly, bad news came yesterday..."
The crowd became more and more uproar.
These words have already pointed out that the other party is the real murderer!
"How can you be so shameless!"
Finally, they couldn't bear it any longer. The book boy in the courtyard broke away from the old servant and rushed out, glaring angrily: "You are a failure, but my young master loves your talent, makes friends with you, and sings with you. Unexpectedly, he repays kindness with evil, and instead plagiarizes you." The young master's poems were written by himself, and the young master drove you away in anger. How dare you turn around and bite you..."
"Ha! Xiaosheng Yihan, a child of the Han family, dares to do such an evil thing to a noble son of a high family?"
Liu Changyan laughed miserably, then took a deep breath and almost roared: "Guo Chengshou, Hao Jianyuan tried to persuade me with good words, but you poisoned me with Gelsemium. I used to be afraid of you, but now I am no longer afraid of you." , but I regret why I didn’t expose your true face earlier, causing Hao Prison to die tragically!”
"Squeak!"
The door opened and Guo Chengshou finally walked out.
He was no longer wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He was now wearing a green Taoist uniform, which was draped loosely around his body. There was no crown on his head, only a wooden hairpin. This was actually rude, but it became more and more serious. It highlights his extraordinary appearance.
In the past, some classmates might have spoken up to praise him, but now there was oppressive silence.
Guo Chengshou faced everyone's gaze and said word by word: "I wrote "Yutang Collection", this person is just a predator, and Hao Prison is not harmed by me..."
Halfway through the words, a voice interrupted coldly: "It's really shameless to seek fame and reputation, and it has disgraced the face of Jinyang students like me!"
The person who spoke was none other than Yang Wencai. He crossed his arms and his expression was completely different from yesterday.
Having a leader was like a clarion call to charge, and there were endless scoldings. Some students even spit on the ground and used actions to draw a clear line between them and show that they were by no means foolhardy. generation.
"Master... Master, let's go back!"
The old servant and the book boy were so anxious that they held Guo Chengshou on the left and right, trying to pull him in, but he remained motionless, with an unnatural flush on his face and his body trembling slightly: "I didn't plagiarize! I didn't kill anyone. !!”
But the contempt in the eyes of all the classmates was like a tide, and more importantly, Pan Chengju led a group of government officials and appeared in sight.
Lei Tingting breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the case is finally solved!"
Di Jin glanced at her and said silently: "On the contrary, this case is as unsolvable as your kidnapping~"
Someone had just revealed a flaw, and he was basically sure that there was something fishy behind this case!
The key lies in your choice.
Just let nature take its course, mind your own business, and go to school with peace of mind...
Or intervene and finally demand the truth this time?
