The third volume is famous, the forty-seventh chapter confrontation
Jiangshan Tower.
Today's Jiangshan Tower is different from usual. The people who usually come in and out of Jiangshan Tower are either well-educated people or young men from aristocratic families. But today, everyone from high-ranking scholars and celebrities to peddlers and commoners are gathered in the Qingyun Pavilion and the lobby of Qingyun Pavilion in Jiangshan Tower.
There was no place to stay, and the courtyard was full of people.
Several escorts had already carried Xu Shao's body and placed it in the main hall on the first floor of Qingyun Pavilion. There was also a chief escort who was holding Shopkeeper He's head in his hand. It seemed that he was also trembling with fear, fearing that He would accidentally do it.
The shopkeeper opened his eyes, took one bite and it was over.
Before Xu Shao's body was brought out, the situation was fine. Although there were already a lot of discussions, most people just whispered and did not dare to speak loudly. There were many talented people with red eyes, which seemed to be sad and sad.
But as soon as Xu Shao's body was brought out, the Qingyun Pavilion was in chaos, with some sighing, some talking loudly, and some making random guesses.
But more often than not, it’s like mourning an heir, crying bitterly.
Suddenly, there was a student-looking person who took the lead and knelt down towards the county governor of Yicheng. Then, one after another, they knelt down in large groups, with tears streaming down their faces and kowtowing continuously. The leading student even cried out in sorrow.
: "Old Master Xu is our spiritual leader, like a teacher and a father. The students ask the county governor to uphold justice, bring the murderer of Master Xu to justice, and bring justice to the students all over the world."
As he said this, countless people knelt down behind him, shouting that the perpetrators should be severely punished and justice should be given to all the students in the world.
The surname of the county governor of Banancheng is Tian Shou, and he is a descendant of Xiao Yuanche. Banancheng is close to Xiao Yuanche's military town of Bacheng. Naturally, the candidates for the county governor were chosen over and over again, and Tian Shou himself was also
He was a talented person, but he was not from a wealthy family. Xiao Yuanche knew in his heart that this person was talented, but he was given a high position. He was afraid that the Qingliu would gossip and gave him a low position, and felt that he had been wronged. After thinking about it,
Only then did he become the head of a county. Even so, he still felt that he couldn't help it. When Tian Shoulin took office, Xiao Yuanche personally met him and wanted to explain the reason. Unexpectedly, Tian Shou was full of smiles and only talked about Si Kong's concerns.
The subordinates understood and happily took up their posts.
During Tian Shou's five years in office, Banan City's economy gradually recovered, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society was in order. He really lived up to Xiao Yuanche's trust.
Tian Shou was also thinking about Xu Shao's death. The inside story was definitely not that simple. After he got the news, he immediately communicated the news to Sikong Mansion. But what puzzled Tian Shou was that the Great Sikong Xiao Yuanche
The reply seemed to be quite nonchalant. He only said that the case would be accepted as a normal murder case, not to mention that he did not ask him to solve the case within a time limit. It seemed that he had no intention of letting it go.
Xu Shao was a person with a high profile, so why did Da Sikong react so indifferently? Tian Shou felt that there must be something inside, but after thinking about it, he couldn't guess what was going on.
It's just that these students knelt down like this and spoke out to seek justice for students all over the world, then the problem is different. This is no longer as simple as a murder case, but has risen to the vital interests of students all over the world.
When Tian Shou heard this student speaking like this, his heart trembled. He looked at the student kneeling in front of him calmly, but after looking at it for a long time, he just felt unfamiliar, but no matter what, Tian Shou already had a vague feeling that that
The sentence "Seeking justice for students all over the world" comes from the mouth of this unknown person, and it seems to be somewhat inexplicable and subtle.
Tian Shou remained calm, cupped his hands in the direction of Longtai City in Kyoto, and said loudly: "Everyone, please don't kneel down. This is a serious matter. The governor of this county has already revised the seal, and the emperor and Sikong have also issued strict orders.
This county governor wants to get to the bottom of this case, and I promise you that Mr. Xu will be given justice to comfort his soul in heaven."
Without making a move, Tian Shou had already brought the matter back to Xu Shao.
After hearing what Tian Shou said, some students had already stood up.
But the student kneeling in front of him suddenly sneered and said loudly: "Chief Tian, do you think the guarantee is true or false?"
When Tian Shou heard this, a cold light shot out from his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name? What do you mean by this? Do you suspect that this county guard is partial to the murderer?"
The student stood up calmly and acted openly and openly. He cupped his hands and said, "Why don't you dare to sign up? Student Liu Feng, whose courtesy name is Wangchuan! The student has a public heart and is really sad that Master Xu suffered this misfortune. Master Xu
It is a flag for our students all over the world. Now that the flag has fallen, we are passionate about seeking justice. What is wrong with us? Just now, the county governor said with certainty that we must get to the bottom of the matter. But what you said can't be said.
Seriously? I’m afraid the governor doesn’t dare to make the inside story of this matter public!”
One sentence made everyone feel like boiling water. Suddenly, people were shouting and talking. Some people even shouted: "What, there is an inside story about this matter? What is the inside story! Why don't you dare to make it public!"
Tian Shou stared at Liu Feng and Liu Wangchuan with burning eyes, and said word by word: "Inside story? You might as well tell me directly, what else do you know?"
Not to be outdone, Liu Feng sneered: "Chief Tian, how long are you going to keep it secret in front of all the students in the world? Forget it, you don't dare to say it, Liu Wangchuan will say it himself!"
After saying that, he bowed to the people inside and outside the hall, and then said loudly: "In fact, the murderer has already had a clue about this matter! Master Xu's room was the scene of the crime, and there was written on the screen at the crime scene
It’s clear and clear that murderers are fucked! Just imagine, today, who dares to touch Old Master Xu and has this word fuck in his name, who is he?"
Everyone in the hall and outside the hall were shocked when they heard this. There was a dead silence at first, and a voice from the crowd blurted out: "Could it be Sikong..." It seemed that he felt that he had made a mistake, and the second half of the sentence had already been swallowed.
Went back.
Tian Shou's expression changed and he said sternly: "You bastard! Who are you? How dare you bite here! Who is the person you suspect? Although Xu Shao is a great scholar, he is white after all. If the person you are talking about is
Why go to such trouble to kill him! Why don’t you give me the chance to capture him!"
Liu Feng sneered and said without any sign of weakness: "If it's not the case, why don't you dare to make this clue public?"
Several people had already surrounded Liu Feng, and looking at his posture, if anyone dared to touch Liu Feng, they would fight tooth and nail.
Tian Shou's eyes changed several times, and then he waved his hands towards the officials, who then retreated.
Tian Shou sneered and said: "Now that you have mentioned this, I will tell everyone present that this clue does exist and the murderer did leave this sentence."
Everyone present was in an uproar.
Tian Shou seemed confident. He glanced at Liu Feng coldly and said, "The county guard did not make this news public because he was afraid of alerting the murderer in advance. The murderer would abscond and the case would be even more difficult to solve!" Suddenly, he
He suddenly raised his voice, and his words were already like a sword: "It's just that there is something puzzled by this county guard. Liu Wangchuan, please explain it to me. The county guard has not said that you have never entered Qingyun Pavilion."
How did you know that the murderer left a note in Shao's room?"
After saying that, his eyes were like lightning, staring straight at Liu Feng.
"I..." Liu Feng was really not as steady as before, but looked a little flustered, blushing and thick-necked, hesitating: "I... I also heard what others said, besides,
, I’m not the only one who knows about this! Before the Sheriff arrived in front of Jiangshan Tower, Jiangshan Tower had already been in chaos, so it’s not surprising that someone has entered Master Xu’s room!”
Tian Shou snorted coldly and said: "What a sharp-tongued person. Do you think this can be explained?"
Liu Feng gritted his teeth, determined not to let go, and suddenly said loudly again: "Even if it's not that high-ranking person, there is still someone who is suspected!"
Tian Shou asked: "Who else?"
Liu Feng sneered and said: "From the analysis of the word "艹", there is only one student who has had close contact with Master Xu, and that is Su Ling from Nanzhang! His surname also has the prefix "Cao"!
When Tian Shou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This county governor has already sent someone to get this person named Su Ling."
Liu Feng laughed wildly and said: "Took it? Why are we all here? He, a person directly related to this case, has not arrived yet. I'm afraid it's not Sheriff Tian who is seeking personal gain. He is clearly trying to arrest him, but he is secretly letting him go away!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in front of the Qingyun Pavilion door could be heard saying loudly: "Liu Feng and Liu Wangchuan, did you not rinse your mouth when you came here? Why do I smell like stinking farts! Who said that I ran away?
Yes? I’m here!”
Hearing this, everyone glanced at the door and looked towards the door. They saw two people standing at the door, one handsome and delicate, the other dark and strong.
It was Su Ling and Du Heng.
Su Ling seemed quite calm and collected. He walked slowly to Tian Shou, cupped his hands and said, "Su Ling has met Lord Tian Shou."
Tian Shou took a deep look at Su Ling. He saw that Su Ling did not kneel down, but he did not know where Su Ling came from, so he was not angry. He just said lightly: "Are you Su Ling?"
Su Ling nodded and said with a calm expression: "It's Su. I was not at Jiangshan Tower last night and was delayed by something, so I came late."
He said this calmly, but it invisibly cleared away the suspicion that Tian Shou was colluding with him. Unknown to Tian Shou, he already had a good impression of Su Ling in his heart.
Tian Shou nodded and said: "Su Ling, today there is a murder case involving Xu Shao and the shopkeeper of Jiangshan Tower He, which involves you. I am not at the Yamen, so I am asking you a question temporarily, and the red tape will be saved."
Okay, I have something that I don’t understand, so I’m asking you, but you have to answer truthfully.”
When it comes to reciprocating favors, Tian Shou is still in the clear.
Su Ling nodded and said, "Just ask, Lord Sheriff. Su will definitely tell the truth."
As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Liu Feng next to him, and said with a cold smile: "Since you are asking me, there is an eyesore pestle next to me, and I feel uncomfortable all over. What if I accidentally forget something? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Hearing this, Liu Feng was about to speak, but Tian Shou secretly thought in his heart that this Su Ling was also an unforgiving master. He simply followed the trend and looked at Liu Feng coldly and said: "I am asking questions, and the rest of the people are waiting to retreat. Your saintly knowledge has been learned."
Has it gone into the stomach?"
Liu Feng felt defeated and had to retreat angrily.
Tian Shou suddenly greeted the two guards on the left and whispered for a while, and then the two guards nodded and left.
After doing this, Tian Shoufang looked at Su Ling and said word by word: "Su Ling, I want to ask you, where have you been since you turned on the lamp last night?"
Su Ling said calmly: "Last night, I turned on the lamp and sat on the boat for ten minutes, and went to Xixiang Garden to attend the Xixiang Banquet."
Tian Shou nodded and said: "Since I sat on the boat and participated in the incense banquet, there must be a witness, but can anyone prove it?"
Su Ling was startled, but felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Those people at the Xixiang Banquet were either trolls or they didn't deal with him. How could anyone testify for him?
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, everyone began to discuss in low voices.
Liu Feng took the opportunity to incite: "He can't find a witness, he's lying!"
Su Ling spat at him and said: "You lie, you big-headed devil! When will it be your turn to make arrangements? You are a pheasant with no name, and your straw sandals have no size!"
Tian Shou's eyes turned cold and he said, "Su Ling, if you don't have a witness, I'm afraid it will be difficult to justify your case."
Su Ling was in trouble when suddenly a man walked into the door and shouted loudly: "I testify that Su Ling was indeed at the incense banquet last night!"
Everyone looked around and saw a young man in a long gown slowly approaching.
Su Ling recognized it, but he was still a little surprised, but he still raised his hand to the visitor and said: "Xue Heng, Mr. Xue, thank you very much!"
The person who came was none other than Xue Heng.
Xue Heng smiled faintly at Su Ling and said, "No need to thank me, I'm just telling the truth. We were at the incense banquet together last night."
Tian Shou seemed to know Xue Heng. He nodded slightly and said, "It's Mr. Xue Heng who is Shaliang Xue Heng."
After saying that, he said loudly to everyone present: "Since Xue Heng testified that Su Ling was not at Jiangshan Tower last night, the suspicion can be cleared, so..."
"Su Ling is cleared of suspicion? We were the first to refuse!"
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and with the words, three people filed out.
As soon as Su Ling took a look, he knew that this matter was really troublesome. Three enemies were coming.
These three people are Shen Qian, Tian Xu and Yuan Wuqian.
Shen Qian and Tian Xu looked fine, but Yuan Wuqian was arrogant, with a look of hatred in his eyes. That was what he said just now.
Tian Shou glanced at these three people for a few times, but he knew their identities. He just raised his fists and said to Shen Jizhou's fourth son Shen Qian: "It turns out to be Shen Qian, the fourth son of the general. Tian has seen it!"
Although Xiao and Chen's family are now secretly competing against each other, hoping that no one can deal with them, after all, they are not at odds with each other openly, so they can always get by on the outside.
Shen Qian was fine, but Yuan Wuqian was the first to jump out and said: "Well, Tian Shou, you are still so negligent when you meet the general's fourth young master, why don't you quickly move a chair for the fourth young master to sit on!
"
Tian Shou's expression was stern, his eyes were like lightning, he looked at Yuan Wuqian coldly and said: "The fourth young master is after the general, so I have this courtesy, but it is to respect the general, the fourth young master is not the same, and you are
Who? Dare to roar openly? How about Shen Qian? You are nothing but a white body. This county guard is the emperor's personal seal. If you don't do anything again, I will be the first to beat you out!"
Yuan Wuqian suppressed a big blush and was about to explode when Shen Qian stopped him with a cold voice: "Yuan Wuqian, you still don't know how to restrain yourself. If you continue like this, how can I intercede with you in front of my father and still not apologize to Lord Tian!"
"
Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice, so Yuan Wuqian had to reluctantly give his hand to Tian Shou.
Shen Qian then turned to Tian Shou and said, "Master Tian, I am here for no other reason than to prove that what Su Ling and Xue Heng said is false."
When Xue Heng heard this, he looked at Shen Qian with some anger. In fact, he understood that although he was a descendant of Ma Xunzhang of Shaliang, Shaliang had been suppressed by the court since Wang Xi and was no longer what it used to be. Originally, he wanted to use Yuan Wu to Qian's reputation, but as time went by, he really disdained Yuan Wuqian's conduct, so he gradually distanced himself from him.
Tian Shou said calmly: "Sir Master Shen said this, is there any evidence?"
Shen Qian smiled calmly and said: "It's true that we were all at the Fragrance Feast, but we all left early after the Fragrance Feast. Su Ling didn't leave, and was kept by the oiran. As for what he will do next It's hard to tell what kind of shameful deeds there are. If Sheriff Tian doesn't believe it, you can ask Xue Heng to see if what I said is true or not."
Hearing this, Tian Shou looked at Xue Heng and said, "What Fourth Young Master Shen said is true."
Xue Heng's expression darkened and he could only lower his head and said: "What he said is the truth..."
Tian Shou nodded. He didn't believe that Su Ling killed someone, but in front of so many people, he couldn't be partial. Not to mention the little character Liu Feng, the three protagonists in front of him didn't care. .
Tian Shou could only look at Su Ling and said: "Su Ling, can you still prove that you did not return to Jiangshan Tower after the incense feast?"
Su Ling cursed secretly, I said you are an immortal, with the surname Shen, you are so deceitful. I want to say that I am still in Xixiangyuan, so the rumors of romantic affairs are still flying all over the world? Even though I have the name of Chiji. , the two phases roughly offset each other.
Su Ling was hesitating.
Suddenly, a delicate female voice came from in front of the Qingyun Pavilion: "The slave family can testify that Mr. Su was not in Jiangshan Tower last night!"
Su Ling, Tian Shou and everyone present turned and looked towards the door.
In front of the Qingyun Pavilion, a woman in fiery red gauze clothes came with a slim figure, like a red peony in full bloom.
