Chapter 473(1/2)
The death of Li Jiangbai caused a big storm in Xijing, but it ended with the arrest of his student Lu Renjia.
The memorials sent to Emperor Jianye and impeach Li Fan were undoubtedly all returned.
"Hey, it's not Li Fan, he's lucky!"
"I think even if Li Jiangbai was killed by Lu Renjia, it has nothing to do with Li Fan. Who knows if he has forced Li Jiangbai?"
"Yes, what kind of thing can't be done with such a person?"
In a restaurant, Gong Jiaoche and other scholars were drinking, all sighing and regretting.
A chance to kill Li Fan was gone.
"But it's nothing. This time, Li Fan's character has been known to all teachers. He is a slut, and he cannot be recognized by great scholars during the imperial examination."
Some people also spoke.
Their goals have been achieved.
After all, those who serve as examiners are generally great scholars who come out of the Hanlin Academy. In these great scholars' examinations, as long as they have a slight prejudice against Li Fan, no matter how well his article is written, it will be useless.
From a certain perspective, Li Fan's journey to the imperial examination was cut off after offending the top scholars of the Confucians.
Hanlin Academy.
"Oh, I didn't expect Lao Li to die like this. It's such a pity..." "Human hearts are not as good as ever, and the teacher's way will not exist! The students who have been taught with great effort in the end turned into demons who killed the master. It's really a chilling heart for us!"
A group of great scholars were also deeply moved.
"Brother Shi, the court has returned all our books... We are really wrongly accusing the wrong person this time, and it's embarrassing..." An old man spoke and sighed.
This time, the Hanlin Academy almost wrote a collective letter.
However, in the end, there was such a result. Everyone felt a little disappointed. The anger she had before was so great was finally empty.
"Is the wrong person wrong?"
However, Shi Bahui, the chief of Hanlin Academy wearing a purple crown, said coldly: "I have already received the news that the so-called murderer is just to pretend to be a crime."
"Someone is helping Li Fan escape from his crime!"
After hearing this, many great scholars were shocked.
"What?
So, is Li Jiangbai’s death still inseparable from Li Fan?”
"Doesn't this mean that someone covers the sky and deceives the emperor?
!”
"No, since that's the case, we should immediately write to the emperor and give Lao Li justice!"
Shi Bahui's words caused a thousand waves, and countless great scholars spoke indignantly.
But Shi Bahui just said coldly: "It's too late. The people who helped Li Fan have killed the case this time."
"When we write a letter, we can't change anything, it will only increase the disgust of the Lord to us."
Upon hearing this, many great scholars looked ugly on their faces.
"Can we all just watch this?"
"How can you allow such a vicious and insidious person to be free from justice?"
"Heart of pain, heartache! The light is not clear, darkness breeds!"
Everyone sighed with regret! Shi Bahui raised his eyes, swept through the many great scholars and saints, and said, "Of course we can't tolerate Li Fan just going freely like this!"
"And, we have that ability too!"
An old man thoughtfully and said, "What does the chief mean?"
Shi Pohui said word by word: "If the chief examiner does not have any surprises in this imperial examination, it is still one of us who will serve as the provincial examination."
"I hope that no matter who it is, I can remember that Li Jiangbai died, died in vain and could not stand up to his eyes!"
"A person like Li Fan must not be allowed to enter the court through the imperial examination, otherwise it would be the misfortune of our entire Daxi!"
Upon hearing this, Han Baoer, Hu Tuchong and others nodded.
"It's right!"
"Even if you violate the rules of the provincial examination, you must drive such sinister and cunning person out of Shilin!"
They spoke one after another! Not long after, Shi Pohui walked out of the Hanlin Courtyard and returned to his mansion.
"Master, someone has brought us two baskets of cabbage today, which have been placed in the warehouse."
The butler spoke respectfully.
Shi Pohui and the butler walked into the warehouse together. The butler picked up the cabbage leaves on the surface of the two big baskets, revealing the gold piled up below.
"The person who delivered the food said, thank you for your hard work to maintain justice."
Shi Pohui smiled deeply.
...And at this moment, in the Jing'an Pavilion.
"What you want is here."
Jiang Dacai stood in front of Li Fan, and the table was filled with thick piles of envelopes.
Each envelope has a name written on it.
for example.
Chief of Hanlin Academy, Shi Bahui.
Hu Tuchong, one of the nine saints of Hanlin Academy.
One of the nine saints of Hanlin Academy, Han Baoer.
...Almost most of the scholar Taishan Beidou in Xijing.
In fact, these people were found out based on the list given by Li Fan.
——Anyone who is closely connected with Chunming Palace or who writes to Emperor Jianye to impeach Li Fande this time is listed here.
Li Fan calmly opened an envelope.
"Shi Paohui, the chief of Hanlin Academy, is 62 years old. His family lives in the north of the city, has hundreds of people in the palace, and has many disciples and old officials.
He is good at poetry and prose, especially parallel prose. His parallel prose is known as the superb Xijing tripod, and is known for its majestic and profound allusions.
He has written the collection of poems "Duyuzi Collection" and the collection of essays "Dingyue Collection".
Hobbies: unknown.
Secret: unknown.”
After reading it, Li Fan nodded. He is indeed a professional, and the efficiency of the Cloud Explorer is very high.
"In Xijing, we have too few people to lay out. The water here is too deep and many things are difficult to check, so the information found is relatively superficial."
Jiang Dacai spoke.
Li Fan smiled and said, "It's already very good."
"In a few days, I will give you some money. Your roots need to be pierced underneath."
In the past, Zhao Nantang was in Yangzhou and naturally could not reach Xijing. Now, he has been involved in Xijing's whirlpool, so he naturally has to repair the intelligence system.
Jiang Dacai left soon after.
Li Fan sat down. In the next few days, he did not go out at all, and no one knew what he was doing.
A few days later, Li Fan quietly left without telling anyone.
Not long after, Li Fan, who was dressed in disguise and changed his appearance, appeared in Xijing's famous "Saiwan Street".
Shuhai Street is similar to Yangzhou's "Embroidery Street". As its name suggests, at first glance, it is full of bookstores, bookstores, and printing and publishing businesses.
Under the feet of the emperor, all industries are booming. Today, when the imperial examinations are booming, publishing is a very prosperous industry.
Basically, the works of the most famous scholars and scholars in Xijing were sent here to publish.
As we walked along the way, people came and went on the streets of Shuhai, most of them were scholars, full of peace.
At the entrance of Shuhai Street, there is a row of tall stone tablets. Above the stone tablets, new works published daily, etc., conveying "new book information" to the world.
This is like a... a billboard?
Li Fan stopped here and found that the one that occupied the most pages here was a company called "Yumo Study", followed by "Sage Yan Study", "Liang Shu Pavilion", "Jin Chan Pavilion" and other companies.
"These should be the top publishers..." Li Fan murmured, and at the same time he also discovered that these booksellers published basically the works of the top figures in Xijing.
For example, the works of the chief of the Hanlin Academy! For example, the masterpiece of a certain Grand Secretary.
...All of them looked at it, there were almost no names.
Li Fan had some thoughts in his mind and walked along the way.
Not long after, he stopped in front of the "Liangshu Pavilion".
