After leaving the restaurant, Li You looked up at the bright sun. It was afternoon and the sky was still early, so he decided to go to the Imperial College in the afternoon. Although he had the reputation of being a fake censor, but with Zuodu Censor agreeing to support him, what else could he do?
Don't dare to go.
Zhang San asked for a bowl of tea from a nearby tea stall, and Li You drank it to relieve his hangover, then went on the road and looked north, during which time he changed into his official uniform in the sedan chair.
After entering the Taixue Gate, the middle courtyard that was full of supervisors last time was now empty. It was probably study time, and the supervisors were all in the halls on both sides.
Li You thought for a while, Fei Jijiu was a person of high status, so he shouldn't be too rude. He might as well go find Li Siye, not to mention that there were some doubts about Li Siye's words and deeds that day, so let's go and make some insinuations to see what happens.
However, standing in front of the Yilun Hall, he was slightly troubled. The room in the middle must have been reserved for the emperor's arrival, but which one on the left and right was Li Siye's public house?
Just as a clerk appeared in front of him, Li You grabbed him and asked, "Where is Li Siye?"
The clerk was a little dissatisfied at being caught out of thin air, but seeing that the man smelled of alcohol and was not a reasonable person, and saw four majestic followers behind him, he suppressed his annoyance and pointed out: "This is the room over here."
Li Siye was very surprised when he saw Li You coming in. He didn't expect that Li You, who was carrying the fake title of censor, would dare to come to the Imperial Academy with such arrogance. Is he really confident?
Li You put the ticket issued by the Ministry of Rites on the table and said: "I am going to prison to study. I have already registered with the Ministry of Rites."
Haven't he heard the rumors about someone pretending to be the censor? Li Siye thought as he said: "This matter is handled by Zhang Dianbu, in the side hall behind the main hall."
Li You calmly held up his hands and said: "There is another matter. In the past two days, someone has spread rumors that I am pretending to be the censor. That day I clearly showed my identity in front of the adults and the sacrificial wine. I also ask the adults to write a letter to clarify the facts for me and suppress the rumors."
Li Siye went about his business and said: "I am an official with a low position, and I speak lightly. I would also like to ask Mr. Li to find another powerful minister to speak to you. I can help you later."
Li You chatted with Li Siye for a quarter of an hour. After chatting for a quarter of an hour, he suddenly took the initiative and said: "I feel that I can no longer keep the document that day. How about asking Mr. Li to take it back to the Imperial College and deal with it?"
Li Siye was a little upset by Li You and said casually: "This matter is making a big fuss. It is only right that you hand it over to Yousi as soon as possible. I, the prisoner, also want to avoid suspicion, how can we take it back?"
To avoid suspicion... to avoid suspicion? Li You is sensitive to the suspiciousness of this word. In general knowledge, whether the supervisor writes a letter or the Imperial College transfers it, whether it is suppressed or suppressed, it is the responsibility of the Imperial College. What is there to avoid suspicion? Unless it involves the Imperial College Middle School.
official…
However, this blood letter does involve offering wine to the Imperial College. Doesn’t Li Siye’s inadvertent tone of voice indicate that he knows the content of the blood letter? That’s why he made a mistake and said he wanted to avoid suspicion?
But judging from Fei Jijiu's performance that day, Master Jijiu didn't know the contents of the blood book. Otherwise, how could he easily let Li You, the fake censor, take away the blood book without caring?
The Secretary of the Imperial Academy knows about it, but the Imperial Academy does not know about the wine ceremony. This is interesting...
After coming out of Li Siye's place, Li You went to ask Fei Jijiu to see him again, but was quickly rejected. Apparently Fei Jijiu kept his identity and refused to see him. In response, Li You cursed in a low voice: "You old man who doesn't know how to live or die!"
Zhang San stepped forward to ask for instructions, "Go back to the guild hall?"
Things were stuck in his throat. Now that Li You was here, he was not willing to leave easily. He still had to find a few more people. The three supervisors who knelt down and wrote the letter that day seemed to be key figures.
Mr. Li regretted a little. At that time, he was only thinking about being weird and dumbfounded, and forgot to leave the names of the three people. Where can he find them now?
The Imperial College is divided into six halls, each with eleven rooms. Excluding one for instructors in each hall, there are a total of sixty rooms.
It would be too blatant and unscrupulous to search for characters in each room during class time. This is the Imperial College after all, and he, Li You, does not have the courage, or in other words, does not have the qualifications to disrupt the Imperial College classes.
But it's not a problem for Li You. There is a door in the middle from the school to the dormitory courtyard. When classes are over, the supervising students should pass through here when returning to the dormitory.
Li You led four of his men and stood waiting by the door. But they said that their group was wandering around in the Imperial College, and the junior officials in the prison didn't take care of them when they saw it. It can only be said that Li You's official robe is still very useful. In the Imperial College
Apart from offering sacrifices to wine, there is no one bigger than Qipin, and he is such a young Qipin. As the saying goes, don't bully a young man who is poor, but don't bully a young man who is rich.
When the sun set, the busboy rang the bell, and today's classes were over, and the supervisors poured out of the sixth hall.
There are two types of prison students. Less than one-tenth of them are the shadow students of powerful families in the capital. There are not even a hundred in total. Most of them live in unnumbered rooms and are even only in prison in name. There are more than a thousand others.
Most of the prison students are old scholars who failed in the imperial examinations and want to be officials. They have no connections or money to live outside, so they are forced to live in numbered rooms.
Mr. Li struggled to find his target in the crowd, but he didn't know that he was the most conspicuous one at this time.
"Good dog officer!" Someone yelled and rushed to Li You.
Mr. Li was furious when he heard this. He looked closely at the supervisor who happened to be the leader and knelt down to write a letter, and said: "It's a good time for you to come. I want to ask you something, so follow me!"
The supervisor didn't say anything, but for some reason he grabbed Li You and started to fight him. The Wang brothers sent by Mr. Zhao stopped him and pushed him aside.
Li You shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? How dare you beat me! Don't you know what's right?"
"The sky has no eyes! The sky has no eyes! You, the evil thief, will definitely suffer the consequences!" The supervisor raised his arms and shouted.
This made Li You furious, and he tolerated others scolding him. There are high-ranking officials and dignitaries everywhere in the capital, but how dare you, an old supervisor with no way out, do this? He ordered his left and right to kidnap him and take him away!
He insulted and beat the imperial official first, and he deserved to be tied up! After questioning, he was thrown to Yousi for punishment! Li You thought contemptuously.
Zhang San quickly took off his waistband and tied up the supervisor together with Han Zong. The Wang brothers hesitated but did not stop him.
Mr. Li's impulsiveness ignored the situation. At this time, he was in front of hundreds of people, and hundreds of Imperial College students who were already depressed and angry.
There is a kind of emotion called hurting others. Six classmates died the night before yesterday. Just when I was feeling sad and depressed, something like this happened again today...
He broke into the Imperial College arrogantly!
He dared to kidnap a prisoner and take him away in front of everyone!
He is arrogant and does not take everyone into consideration at all!
In the eyes of all the supervisors, this is a seventh-grade official who is so young that it is enviable. Whether he is a son of a powerful person or a scholar, he is bound to have a bright future. But looking at himself, he has lived more than twice the age in vain, but he is still looking for a seal in the Imperial College.
To excerpt an old eagle, just for the sake of having a ninth-grade position in the future to make a living, the world is so unfair!
In a word, it's too bullying! Then...
Mr. Li fell into the vast ocean of the people. This was not his home in Suzhou. This was the Imperial College where the most frustrated scholars in the world gathered and the most unhappy young people who succeeded in their ambitions.
Hundreds of supervisors tightly surrounded Li You and his group of five. Although no one took the lead in shouting or taking action, the dull atmosphere was like the calm before the storm, which made people even more breathless.
