Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The three of them stood up one after another, slapping the dust on their knees and robes, and ran after Guo Ye.

On the way, Fang Yiai couldn't stop feeling uneasy, and asked Wei Shuyu in a low voice: "Shuyu, what do you mean by second brother? Does he care about our matter?"

Wei Shuyu felt irritated for a while, and replied shamelessly: "Hmph, if you ask me, who should I ask?"

Du He pushed and shoved the two of them, and urged: "Stop beeping, who do you think can save us now except second elder brother who can save our third son? Hurry up and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor." !"

Chapter 424

Dr. Sima's home is in Xuandefang, which is just an ordinary Lifang, not a place where wealth and honor gather.

Guo Ye left the mansion, called his servants to set up a mule cart, and under the guidance of Wei Shuyu and the other three, he drove into Xuandefang in less than half an hour.

The wheels of the mule cart creaked on the road, and the group of people slowly arrived at a small street in Xuandefang.

The dilapidated small courtyard of Dr. Sima's house was easy to find, because at this time the small courtyard was surrounded by the residents of Lifang, which was very conspicuous.

Wei Shuyu stopped in his tracks and whispered, "Second Brother, we're here!"

At this time, Guo Ye took a good look at the small courtyard of Sima's house. It was really a dilapidated wall, poor and empty, and the courtyard wall made of yellow mud was covered with weeds.

Seeing this, Guo Ye was somewhat saddened. Dr. Sima was also an old Confucian of the Imperial College, a dignified court official, and his family was so ruined and impoverished. Alas...

But now the gate of this small courtyard has been tightly closed, and there are black and white seals crossed on the door, which should be written by Sihai Casino.

Damn it, just after he died, these grandsons are so quick to occupy the magpie's nest, it's crazy.

Guo Ye was stunned, and Wei Shuyu pointed to the place surrounded by the crowd in front, and reminded: "Second Brother, Dr. Sima's bones are over there, here~~ wrapped in a straw mat, and placed on the ground."

Following the direction of Wei Shuyu's finger, Guo Ye saw the corpse wrapped in a straw mat. A group of Lifang residents gathered around to watch, pointing and sighing from time to time.

Guo Ye walked over slowly, squeezed through the crowd and squatted on the ground, and slowly lifted the tattered straw mat wrapped around Dr. Sima with his hands.

wow~~

This move of his immediately attracted a burst of noise and discussion from the onlookers.

Guo Ye felt displeased, frowned and ordered Wei Shuyu and the three behind him: "Shuyu, Dr. Sima is also our mentor after all, how can people watch and criticize when his bones are still cold? Get rid of these people."

Wei Shuyu and the three got orders, and the playboy's naughty nature suddenly became savage again:

"Let's go, let's go, what's there to see?"

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a dead person?"

"Jiji Waiwai, talking about the ball, what about you, old lady, why don't you hurry up and cook for your old men? Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing?"

Boom~~

The three of them cursed and scattered the crowd of onlookers...

Guo Ye squatted quietly on the ground, opened the straw mat and looked at Dr. Sima's remains.

Although his face was blue, his lips were pale, and there was a thumb-thick strangle mark on his neck, the clothes on his body were intact, and there were no traces of struggle on his nails or wrists.

Judging from his experience as a government servant in Longxi, Dr. Sima's death is obviously more likely to be a suicide than a homicide.

And it looked more like hanging himself to death.

After inspecting the body, Guo Ye slowly wrapped the straw mat again, and whispered softly in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "Dr. As for your unprogressive little bastard, the students will definitely clean it up for you."

Whispering, Guo Ye suddenly turned his head and shouted at Wei Shuyu and the others: "Shuyu, you three come here, second brother, I have something to tell you to do..."

……

……

On the second floor of a tea shop less than [-] meters away from Dr. Sima's mortuary along the street, there were two people holding on to the fence, staring at this side.

Both of them were dressed in toga gowns, one gray and one white, one old and one middle-aged, with the same lonely and melancholy expressions.

The old man was Yu Shinan, who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy, and the middle-aged man in the white robe was Chu Suiliang, the Secretary of the Imperial Academy.

Every move of Guo Ye and the others below was noticed by the two of them.

Chu Suiliang was in his prime, and his eyesight was naturally better than Yu Shinan's. After identifying the people who collected the corpses, he couldn't help shouting in surprise, "My lord, they are actually four students from the calligraphy class."

After shouting in surprise, Chu Suiliang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and laughed at himself: "Oh, ashamed! I, Chu Suiliang, claim to be an upright gentleman, but I don't have many students to be frank. My lord, the next official sent someone to notify you early in the morning. The officials from the Chang'an Mansion came to collect Dr. Sima's body for an autopsy, and they are not dismissed..."

The last sentence, Chu Suiliang obviously hurriedly explained to Yu Shinan, thinking of clarifying something for himself.

Yu Shinan continued to watch every move of Guo Ye and the others, raised his right arm slightly after hearing Chu Suiliang's words, and said in relief: "Dengshan (Chu Suiliang's word), there is no need to explain, the old man naturally trusts your character. But the children below are more direct than you and me in doing things, and they do things rashly."

Chu Suiliang cupped his hands slightly, bowed his head and muttered another sentence of shame.

Yu Shinan carefully counted the four people who were a hundred meters away, and said one by one: "One is the son of Wei Zheng's family, one is the only son of Zhongshuling Du Ruhui's family, and the other is the second boy of Shangshuling Fang Xuanling's family. The three dolls are warm-hearted, yes, hey, the leader is Guo Ye, the Longxi boy recommended by Gao Shilian?"

Chu Suiliang nodded and said: "It is this person, the new student Guo Ye from the Calligraphy Class. The official saw it with his own eyes, and it was entirely because of this that the Calligraphy Class narrowly beat the Taixue Class in the shooting competition. Under the strategy of people, it is brave and resourceful, young and promising..."

Yu Shinan immediately took over the conversation, and said with a smirk: "Hehe, it's a pity that I'm also illiterate and full of idiots. You're simply a model of ignorance and nothingness!"

"Uh……"

Chu Suiliang heard some negative rumors about Guo Ye from Yu Shinan's mouth.

Now hearing the old man say that again, I couldn't help being speechless for a while, because the old man was telling the truth.

It's a pity that such a clever young man is such a clever boy, and he is already a sixth-rank supervisory censor at a young age. If he has economics in his belly and talent in his chest, maybe he will be the seed of the court in the future.

Chu Suiliang was still sighing about the pity, and suddenly saw Yu Shinan proudly stroking his beard and praising: "Not bad, not bad, who said that all the calligraphy classes are black sheep? At least the old man saw with his own eyes that these children are all good-natured people. It just needs to be carved over time, isn't it a piece of beautiful jade?"

Huh?

Chu Suiliang was puzzled, how long has it been since the boss taunted Guo Ye just now, why is he boasting again?

He couldn't grasp Yu Shinan's thoughts for a while, so he could only agree with him and said: "What the boss said is very true, I will remember it in my heart."

Yu Shinan groaned, and changed the subject again: "I heard that last night, the kid from the eldest grandson's family and the eldest and second son of the Xiao family were fighting again?"

Speaking of this, a strange smile appeared on Chu Suiliang's face, and he said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, the eldest grandson's family and Xiao's family are really old enemies. Strangling you to death in the school. Last night in the Fengmanlou of Pingkangfang, it seemed that there was a big fight for a Qing Dynasty official, and in the end, it even provoked the right leader to dispatch people from the yamen of the Weifu..."

Yu Shinan couldn't help laughing when he heard that: "You didn't learn well at such a young age, you learned how to be a prostitute, and you actually fought for a nobleman in a romantic place. These dudes are really promising."

Chu Suiliang said yes, and asked puzzledly: "I heard that the people of the Xiao family were locked up by the government office for one night, and they were not released until the next day after paying the ransom money. But it's very strange. The students in the school were released overnight. Su Dingfang, the general of the Weifu yamen, is notoriously disowned by his relatives, how could he favor the students in the calligraphy class?"

"Hahaha..." Yu Shinan laughed even more when he heard this. He locked his eyes on Guo Ye who was a hundred meters away, shook his head lightly and smiled, "Although Ding Fang likes to do business, he is also a man of flesh and blood." People. There is no need to worry about this matter, but the group of children in the calligraphy class beat up Lu Chengqing, the left servant of the official department. You should pay attention to this matter.

Chu Suiliang listened to Lu Chengqing's words, and said with disdain: "My lord, don't worry, although Lu Chengqing is the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, the Imperial College is a place to cultivate talents for the sage. Middle. Lu Chengqing is really the generation who wears monkeys and wins the crown, which really disgraces my generation of scholars."
