Chapter 839: The missing Houseman (2)
Translator: 549690339 yes. Chief Assistant Wang nodded. stay for dinner.
Ministry of official personnel affairs, document library.
Xu Qi ‘an, who had disguised himself as Xu Xinyi, brought out the list of new scholars who had entered yuanjing in the year 10 with the help of the clerk.
Surprisingly, the top scorer of yuanjing Academy in the 10th year was the first assistant, Wang zhenwen.
The second place was called Lu an.
Tanhua, on the other hand, was blank and had no name.
He had found him … Xu Qi ‘an stared at the blank space and did not speak for a long time.
“The houseman whose name was erased was Tanhua in the 10th year of yuanjing, a first-class scholar. Who exactly is he, and why was his heavenly secrets blocked? Was this person Dead or Alive? Since he had entered the court as an official, he could not be the first supervisor.
“It can only be the current supervisor, but why would he do that? What was the relationship between su hang and a nameless Houseman? Su hang’s name hasn’t been erased, which means he’s not the houseman, but he’s definitely related.”
Based on the clues at hand, he made a simple hypothesis:
Back then, there was a party in the Imperial court, and su hang was one of the core members of this party. The houseman whose name had been erased was likely to be the leader of the party.
This party was very powerful, and it was besieged by all the other parties. In the end, it ended up in a miserable state. Su hang’s fate was proof. But what Xu Qi ‘an couldn’t figure out was that if it was just an ordinary factional dispute, why would the supervisor erase the name of the General Manager? Why did he have to block the heavenly secrets?
There must be a deeper layer of secret in this.
“My intuition tells me that this past is very important. Uh, that’s nonsense. Of course it’s important. Otherwise, why would the supervisor block it? Sigh, I hate investigating old cases the most. No, I hate warlocks the most. The two cuties, Zhong Li and Cai Wei, are not counted.”
Xu Qi ‘an left the Ministry of official personnel affairs and rode his beloved little mare on the street.
The young mare was very understanding. It maintained a speed that was neither fast nor slow, so that Xu Qi ‘an could take the opportunity to think and not focus on driving.
“When I investigated the Mulberry case, it also involved the first director, but there was no record of it in historical records. In the end, it was the smart huaiqing who locked onto the Azure Dragon Temple through the decline of the Buddhist temple 500 years ago. It made me realize that Shen Shu was related to Buddhism and the prosperity of Buddhism in the Central Plains 500 years ago.
“Huaiqing’s method can also be used on this man. I can investigate some major events that happened back then and find clues from them.”
After finalizing his plan, he continued to think about Emperor Yuan jing.
He had wanted to investigate Emperor Yuan jing before because he was an experienced detective. He thought that Emperor Yuan jing would not take such a big risk and join forces with the North guarding King to massacre the city if it was only for the elixir of soul.
After all, the core of soul wasn’t a treasure of the kidney. Three of them could live forever, so they wouldn’t go so far as to massacre a city.
After the trip to the Jianzhou, he was more and more sure that there was something wrong with Emperor Yuan jing. Those who had fate could not live forever, so what was the old Emperor still doing?
As the Emperor of a country, it was impossible for him not to know this secret. Great ancestor and Wu Zong were examples.
“We can only look for clues from the records of the previous Emperor’s daily life. If Emperor Yuan jing really has a secret, he will definitely get rid of it.
“But he can’t completely erase the traces. For example, there might be some important clues hidden in the previous Emperor’s place, but they are unremarkable or can’t be discovered by others. Only those who have a certain amount of information can understand.
“If the previous emperor doesn’t have any clues, I can only look for little aunt. Aunt has been teaching Emperor yuanjing for so many years, it’s impossible that she didn’t notice anything, right?”
“After that, it’s about the matter of the first director. I have to find this place in Xuzhou first. Yes, Lord Wei and Erlang will help. Oh, right, when he’s having a date with Feng Juji tomorrow, ask her to send a letter to huaiqing so that she can help him investigate Xuzhou.
“I have to make use of the top students to work for me. Right, I can’t fall behind in my comprehension of ‘intent’ , although I don’t have any clues yet. I’ll take a break tomorrow and go to the bar to listen to music. I’m starting to miss Fu Xiang …”
There were so many things to do … Xu Qi ‘an rode on the little mare rhythmically.
When he returned to the Xu Manor, he saw susu sitting on the roof of the house from afar, holding a red umbrella. She was like a beautiful mountain ghost, tempting the people who were hurrying up the mountain.
No, she was a ghost to begin with.
They are back … Xu Qi ‘an jumped onto the roof and sat beside the female ghost.
“What are you doing!” Su Su rolled her eyes at him.
Xu Qi ‘an poked her chest, and with a “poof “, it broke.
“PEI, lecher!”
Susu lowered her head and looked at her chest. She spat at him and snorted, ”
“I’m not going to ask for a physical body. Master said that if I ask for a physical body now, I’ll definitely be dragged into your room to sleep. I think what she said makes sense, so when you find out the truth of my father’s case, I’ll go and ask for his body.”
“Your master is simply slandering me.”
“Really?” Su Su looked at her suspiciously.
“Really, I can sleep with you here. Who said I had to drag you into the room?” “Go, go, go.” Su Su teased him.
Xu Qi ‘an jumped down from the roof and passed through the courtyard. He saw the cook killing the goose outside the kitchen. Xu lingying, whose hair was tied into two bun-like buns, squatted at the side and looked on eagerly.
Her master, the little black-skinned boy from the southern border, was also squatting at the side watching.
One big and one small, the contrast was stark.
“Lingying, Big Brother is back.” Xu Qi ‘an shouted.
The little boy ignored him and watched the goose being killed and plucked with full concentration.
Was she fantasizing about which part to start eating? This stupid kid only has food in his eyes … Xu Qi ‘an grumbled in his heart as he entered the inner hall.
Li Miaozhen and her aunt were sitting in the hall and talking. There were a few pieces of crystal clear pastries on the table.
Seeing that her nephew had returned, the aunt raised her sharp chin and said, ‘”‘The pastries on the table were left for you by lingying. She was afraid that if she stayed here, she wouldn’t be able to resist eating the pastries, so she ran out.”
Xu Qi ‘an turned his head and looked out the door, laughing.
where’s Erlang? it’s a day off today. You went out together. Why didn’t he come back? ” His aunt asked as she looked outside.
“Chief advisor Wang is hosting a banquet for him. I don’t think he’ll be back today.” Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
After dusk, the city gate of the Imperial City was closed. It was impossible for Xu Erlang to return today.
“The Lord first assistant has set up. banquet to welcome him …” His aunt was shocked.
Although the eldest son had mercilessly exposed the “affair” between the second son and the young lady of the Wang family not long ago, the aunt did not expect things to progress so quickly.
He also did not expect that chief advisor Wang would host a banquet to entertain Erlang.
this isn’t the right family background. Aiya, really … His aunt was a little annoyed and helpless.”Marrying the daughter of the chief Assistant family, isn’t that the same as marrying a Bodhisattva?”
“Auntie, you’re the matriarch of the family. Once this daughter-in-law enters the family, it’s up to you to train her.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
With Wang simu’s temperament and tactics, it would be interesting if he bullied his aunt to tears every day after he married into the family. Xu Qi ‘an was looking forward to the future.
The aunt puffed out her chest and said arrogantly, of course. Even if she’s the daughter of the Prime Minister, she’ll have to listen to me once she’s married into the Xu family.
Li Miaozhen glanced at her and didn’t speak.
At dusk, in the Imperial Academy.
In the master bedroom of yingmei Pavilion, a violent cough came.
The maidservant sat under the eaves, guarding the small stove, listening to the sound of his wife coughing from inside.
Lady Fu Xiang had been sick for a while. More than half a month ago, yingmei Pavilion stopped drinking tea. Since then, lady had been bedridden and became more and more Haggard.
Mother had invited many famous doctors to treat Lady Fu Xiang, but they didn’t seem to get better. Slowly, mother stopped calling for doctors.
At first, she was more like a daughter than a daughter, but later, she became cold and indifferent. In the end, she simply didn’t come to visit, and even transferred away the delicate and pretty maidservants and guards in the courtyard.
There was no need for them to guard a sickly man who was on the verge of death.
“Wifey used to be so glorious, the top courtesan of the teaching workshop, Xu yinluo’s lover. Now that she was down and out, no one came to see her. I haven’t heard from Xu yinluo either. It’s been a long time since she last came to the Academy. ”
“Hmph, it must be some cheap woman who made paper figurines to attack my wife.” The servant girl sat by the fire, wiping her tears as she thought angrily..
