It is said that when Li You heard the news about the demise of the Yique Jiansheng Tuan in front of the Rites Hall, and about tracking down the fake censor, he was almost shocked to the point of panic. After he came to his senses, he quickly left the Rites Hall and hid in a parked car on the street.
It seems to be safer this way.
In an unfamiliar place, six people suddenly died overnight, and the final bloody notes of these six people were in his hands... Mr. Li felt like a comedy had turned into a thriller and suspense drama.
If it were in the world of novels, a large number of killers would definitely appear in the next moment to attack him without reason, logic or intelligence, and he would be on the run and meet with strange (and romantic) adventures one after another to become a great master.
It's a pity that this is the real world. Pulling back his elegant thoughts... Li You quickly closed his eyes to rest and forced himself to calm down slowly. Then he frowned. From the analysis of various situations he had grasped, it was so confusing that he couldn't see it at all.
through.
In fact, he didn't care much about the death of several people he didn't know. What he cared about was how could there be rumors that "someone was pretending to be the censor"?
At the beginning of yesterday, everyone in the Imperial Academy had a misunderstanding, but later he had already revealed his true identity in front of Fei Jijiu and Li Siye, so why was his identity unknown? It should be easy for the court to find him and retrieve the blood letter. It is still needed.
To pursue aimlessly?
The only reason is that Fei Jijiu and Li Siye deliberately concealed his identity, pretended not to know, and spread the news that someone was impersonating him.
What is the reason for these two people to be like this? Li You couldn't figure it out for a while. But what is certain is that someone must be making trouble for an unknown purpose.
At this point, Li You couldn't help but raise his head and sigh at the top of the sedan. The water in the capital is so deep! The water in the capital is so muddy! He just happened to receive a report by mistake. It was easy to hand it in, but he was inadvertently
It got into this situation.
A little storm is not terrible, but what is terrible is that Li You is like a blind man walking at night in the capital. He is allowed to change in every possible way, and he is full of cleverness but has nowhere to use it. He has no idea where to start.
After thinking about it, Li You secretly thought that he was just a supervised release in Beijing for two or three days, his status was insignificant, to put it harshly, there was no value in seeking refuge with others, so what was there worth using and targeting? From this perspective, he
Most likely, it was someone else who conveniently took advantage of it and was not the main target.
Of course, things never happen for no reason, there must be some signs, so the key now is to find clues among the thousands of clues.
Li You closed his eyes again and meditated, replaying everything he had experienced and everyone he had seen from the day before when he entered the east gate of the outer city of the capital until he came out of the Rites Yamen today.
The most impressive things are of course two things.
First, he was forced to accept the blood letter by several prison guards who cried, made trouble, and hit the wall. This was purely a natural disaster. Although it caused a riot, there was nothing suspicious about the natural disaster itself, and no one would deliberately design such a plot against him.
Second, Fei Jijiu was disrespectful and arrogant to him. Although it was unpleasant, it was considered human nature and was not suspicious. Besides, Fei Jijiu must have thought that the following matters should be dealt with by an official. He, an upright official,
There is no need to come forward to receive any seventh-grade promotion official. This is also the pride of Hanlin. It is understandable. It would be strange not to be proud.
Continuing to think about it, suddenly a person flashed in Li You's mind. The unspectacular and unremarkable Imperial Academy Officer Li Siye seemed to be a little abnormal...
First, Li Siye knew that he had been misidentified, and it was normal for him not to want to take the blood letter away from him. No one wanted to cause trouble. But it was a bit abnormal to not mention it as if nothing had happened.
Aren't you worried that you might be messing around outside with a blood letter written by a student from the Imperial College?
Secondly, I invited Li Siye to have a drink with me so kindly and repeatedly, but he actually refused to accept the invitation. This is not normal. Even if I don’t have time today, I can choose another time. There is no reason to reject it outright. It must be said that he does not like to socialize.
, it doesn’t look like it, otherwise he would be in the mood to talk nonsense with him for a long time?
Not to mention that she was just pretending to let him see the letter, strongly implying that she was related to the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Li Siye must have noticed this. It was a bit embarrassing to not give him the honor of a banquet.
It makes no sense.
Li You's suspicious and thoughtful temper flared up, and the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt. He made a hypothesis in his mind. Suppose there was something wrong with Li Siye. Suppose Li Siye deliberately framed him and pretended to be the censor. What good would Li Siye do?
It should be of no benefit, completely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself, and I have not offended Li Siye.
At this time of life and death, Li You's forehead ached as he thought hard, and he put himself into the role of Li Siye to reflect on his actions.
Probably in Li Siye's eyes, he had two options for getting the blood letter. One was to destroy it, and the other was to transfer it to the relevant government offices such as the Department of Transportation or the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There is nothing unusual about this, and there is really nothing unusual about it.
No, Li You suddenly had an idea, and there was a third way. Li Siye probably thought that he was related to Xu Tianguan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and thought that he might hand over the blood letter to Xu Shangshu... After all, this was a good trigger.
It is very effective in the hands of those who are interested - the Imperial Academy's offering of wine and the instructions of the Imperial College student Yique to talk about the foundation of the country are enough to fill an article.
Li You, who had been thinking hard for more than half an hour, finally saw a glimmer of light. Could it be that Li Siye was expecting him to deliver the blood letter to Xu Shangshu? Or was he expecting a person suspected of pretending to be a censor to have sex with Xu Shangshu?
On the relationship?
I really can’t guess what goes on... Li You once again felt helpless due to lack of information. If he knew Xu Shangshu’s political stance or Li Siye’s family background, he might be able to restore part of the truth.
In fact, with the pitiful information at hand, Mr. Li was able to guess this step like a blind man trying to figure out the cocoon, which is quite unbelievable.
Li You followed this line again and guessed the death of the Jiansheng Group. Li You didn't believe it if they all committed suicide. So whose arrangement was it?
Those who can create ghosts and harm people in the Imperial Academy's Shengsu Hall are either insiders or insiders. Those with this ability cannot escape from Jijiu, Siye, and Jiancheng.
Fei Jijiu had a motive, to silence him; Li Siye also had a motive, to frame him; Jian Cheng's motive... there is insufficient information, let's figure it out. Maybe there is an unknown big shot involved behind the scenes.
The water in the capital was deep. He knew that he was harmless to humans and animals, but he suffered an unreasonable disaster without paying attention... Li You couldn't stop sighing. Looking back, he was the one to blame. Who asked him to show off in the market with Xu Shangshu's letter?
The capital is different from the local areas. The number of officials in local counties can often be counted on one hand, and the number of officials in the government can be counted on two hands. There are just a few people coming and going. The relationship is relatively simple, and you have a good hand.
Just showing it up won't cause much problem.
But it is not the case in the capital, where countless officials gather together and various relationships are intertwined. Li You's approach of taking the initiative to hint others with letters may seem clever, but in fact it is tantamount to exposing one's own trump card.
It is also because he has a lack of understanding of the official ecology of the capital, and is still accustomed to local ways of doing things. This time, even if it is not a big or small lesson, he will gain wisdom after suffering a loss.
The case is complicated and confusing, and the problem has come full circle and returned to the original point. What should be done as an urgent matter? Fortunately, Li You was lucky. In addition to Xu Shangshu, Zhao Zongxian and Lu Shangshu also had two doorways that were not exposed, which is a bit of a cunning rabbit's miraculous effect. So it is not necessarily possible.
I have to implicate Mr. Xu Shangshu. The person who tricked him probably doesn’t know this...
