Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

But he was very surprised, old man Sima's sudden death had nothing to do with them, so why would they mobilize so many people?

Then he asked out of curiosity: "I heard about this in the morning. But I'm curious. Dr. Sima and the people in our calligraphy class don't interact with each other on weekdays. He teaches his class. What should you do next?" How to play how to play. What happened to you today? Don't tell me, the death of Dr. Sima has something to do with you?"

Bass~~

Hearing what Guo Ye said, the three jumped up as if they had been stabbed by a steel nail under their buttocks.

Then they all shook their hands with ugly faces, and shouted in unison: "Second brother, this matter can't be joked around. We were all together last night, and there was a lot of trouble, and we were taken into the Weifu Yamen. It was almost four It's even more genius to leave each other. Dr. Sima's death has nothing to do with us brothers. Don't talk nonsense, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

Guo Ye saw that the three of them were so frightened by his joke that they felt like they had run into a ghost, and he couldn't help laughing secretly. He was just joking, but who knew that the three of them reacted so strongly.

Everyone in the calligraphy class last night had evidence of their alibi. Besides, Guo Ye knew very well that although these dandies usually like to make trouble and have no intention of studying, they are still pure in nature.

Even if he doesn't like going to school anymore, it's impossible to kill Dr. Sima.

Besides, didn't the academic officer of the Imperial College tell Zhenniang that Dr. Sima died suddenly, not homicide.

Immediately, he laughed and said, "I'm just joking with you, you're so excited!"

huh~~

The three breathed a sigh of relief, slapped each other's chests, and sighed: "This matter can't be a joke."

"No, Second Brother, you're going to scare us to death!"

"I was almost scared to pee by the second brother's joke..."

Guo Ye heard the words of the three people with lingering fears, he couldn't help but cast a blank look at the three of them, and spat: "Look at the promise of the three of you, beat me up!"

Then he pointed to Wei Shuyu and said, "Shuyu, tell me the truth, what is the purpose of your Guo family looking for me today? I don't believe that you just came to tell me about Dr. Sima's death. There must be something else in it." thing."

Wei Shuyu said softly: "Second brother, although we brothers don't like to see Dr. Sima very much on weekdays, Dr. Sima has taught us for several years, and we have some feelings. The most commendable thing is that Dr. Sima has never taught us in the past few years. He has criticized us before, turned a blind eye to it, and can get by, after all, the brothers in our calligraphy class should study Dr. Sima."

After Guo Ye heard this, he nodded his head slightly, his eyes were approving, and he thought to himself, even if you bastards still have a bit of conscience, even if old man Sima has been teaching perfunctorily for several years, he can still be regarded as your mentor.How can Shien forget so easily?

Seeing that Guo Ye was silent, Wei Shuyu continued: "Second brother, in fact, before we came to your house, we also went to find the eldest grandson. However, the eldest grandson was grounded by his father and elder grandson because of what happened last night, so we just I had to come to you."

The eldest grandson Yumo was grounded and locked up by his father?It must be because of yesterday's riot.

But now the matter of Changsun Yumo is not the point.

Immediately, Guo Ye shouted: "Don't be silly, just get to the point."

Wei Shuyu sighed, and sighed: "Second brother, you have only been in the calligraphy class for a short time, and you may not be clear about some things. But I can assure you of one thing, the death of Dr. Sima is definitely something strange. It is impossible to die suddenly."

Whoo~!

Hearing what Wei Shuyu said, Guo Ye got up suddenly, and said in surprise, "As I expected, I said that the death of old man Sima was definitely not simple.

But why did Wei Shuyu speak so confidently and with certainty?

Moreover, Wei Shuyu asked him to tell him that this matter was useless. I really felt that the death of old man Sima was strange or wronged, and that would be taken care of by the Governor of Chang'an Mansion and a group of officials. What's the use of telling him?

Even if he is the supervisor of Yushitai, he is only responsible for supervising all the officials, not for criminal investigation and litigation, false and unjust cases.

These things are all things that the governor of Chang'an should do. The governor of Chang'an can't control his own criminal department. The criminal department may even have Dali Temple. Why do you want to do it yourself?

Seeing Guo Ye's puzzled face, Wei Shuyu said softly: "Second brother, don't get me wrong, we didn't come to seek justice for Dr. Sima, and you can't care about it!"

Guo Ye asked: "Then what are you doing with me?"

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wei Shuyu stopped talking about the death of Dr. Sima, but asked in a thoughtful manner:

"Second Brother, you have been in Chang'an City for a while. Have you ever heard of Changle Square in our Chang'an City, not far from Dongshi?"

"Changlefang?"

Guo Ye was suddenly whetted by Wei Shuyu, and asked in confusion, "Where is that place? What does the death of old Sima have to do with it?"

Chapter 422 Elaborate on Changle Square

"Changlefang?"

Guo Ye had never heard of this place before, so he asked really puzzled: "It sounds like the name of Lifang in Chang'an City. What kind of place is this?"

Wei Shuyu replied: "Second brother, this Changle Square is very famous in Chang'an City, not less famous than Chongren Square, Pingkang Square, and your Taiping Square."

"That's right." Fang Yiai interjected, "There are many dignitaries' residences in Taipingfang; there are many inns in Chongrenfang, which are the offices of Jinzuoyuan (Beijing offices) of various state capitals; Pingkangfang Well, we went there yesterday, and there are fireworks and willow alleys everywhere. As for this Changle Square..."

"Stop the fucking nonsense and get to the point!"

Guo Ye interrupted Fang Yiai's chatter, and urged, "Tell me quickly, what is this Changle Square?"

Fang Yi'ai was cowed by Guo Ye's shout, and did not dare to say anything.

Wei Shuyu rolled his eyes at this coward who loves to grab the limelight, and explained: "Second brother, don't worry, the reason why Changlefang is famous is because of the word gambling. In Changlefang, there are dozens of gambling shops, large and small. There are nearly a hundred gambling stalls here and there, and they are places where gamblers linger. Moreover, Chang’an Mansion has a clear document that only Changlefang in Chang’an City can set up gambling stalls, and other places are not allowed.”

I went, and Guo Ye understood it. It turned out to be a holy place for gambling. I dare to say that Changle Square is a small Las Vegas protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty!

Long experience, really long experience.

In Chang'an City of Datang, there is not only a legal red light district, but also a legal gambling area.

But Wei Shuyu just mentioned Changlefang to him and wanted to fuck?Wouldn't it be because he wanted to take their brother San'er to Changlefang to gamble with him?

Not reliable!

It's definitely not that simple.

Then, he asked tentatively: "Do you mean that the death of Dr. Sima has a slight relationship with this Changle Square?"

Wei Shuyu shook his head and said with a smile: "My second brother, it's not just a thread of relationship, it's a certainty, and there are innumerable links. Let me tell you, Dr. Sima didn't die suddenly at all. The one who died, but was forced to die alive!!!”

"what?"

Guo Ye's expression turned pale again, and he said in surprise, "You mean, Dr. Sima lingered in gambling shops because of his obsession with gambling, owed a huge amount of gambling debt but was unable to repay it, and finally committed suicide last night?"

Wei Shuyu nodded first, then shook his head, and then said ambiguously: "There is no doubt that he committed suicide, but it is not a huge gambling debt owed by Dr. Sima."

Day, Guo Ye was confused by Wei Shuyu's words. Why do these words sound so contradictory?

Immediately shouted: "Wei Shuyu, you fucking made your words clear, if you go around in circles with me, believe it or not, I will kick you out now?"

It seems that Wei Shuyu's trickery really pissed Guo Ye off.

Wei Shuyu had no choice but to bow down and call the second brother to appease his anger, and then explained: "Second brother, that's the thing. Dr. Sima has a son under your knee, who is about the same age as your second brother, and his full name is Sima Pingbang. This boy is a real man. A real ignorant bastard, his father is a doctor of the Imperial College, but he doesn't want to make progress and is addicted to gambling. He is in his twenties, and he doesn't even have a reputation as a scholar. Except for his father, Dr. Sima With a meager salary to help eat and drink, I like to hang out in various gambling houses in Changlefang. Tsk tsk, Dr. Sima also committed crimes, to give birth to such a bastard."

Sima Pingbang?Pingbang Pingbang, Pingding Guobang, this name is impressive, it can be seen how high the old man Sima's expectations are for this son.
