Chapter 242 Strangers Call for Help
The pool is awakened.
She slept on the table with her hands numb, then moved to the couch again, and when she woke up, it was already dusk. Yao sat by the bed, grabbed her ears, and said angrily, "Don't sleep at night, don't wake up during the day, can you be a thief?"
"Your brother is going to take the Spring Examination exam soon. You are fine. You haven't come back on the Lantern Festival. I asked you to watch the lanterns with Lu Jin, but I didn't ask you to investigate the case again."
Chi Shi rubbed his eyes. Yao's mouth was hard and his heart was soft, and it didn't hurt at all.
"When will my mother come back? Lu Jin's robe is wet. What does it have to do with me? But I have to eat late?" She thought, sucked her nose, but there was no smell at all.
Yao picked up the clothes hanging on the side of the empty-minded arm and threw them on Chi Shi, "Get up first and talk about it. A person came up from the doorman, saying that it was from Cui's mansion, and he was anxious to find you. After thinking about it, there seemed to be no one named Cui among the people near our family."
"Can you know?"
Chi Shi shook his head and quickly put on his clothes, "What's the surname Cui? Ah, I'm going to leave the capital with Zhou Xian these two days, and his illness is too late. What's the matter?"
Yao sighed, "Maybe you'll come back before your brother's spring exam... Forget it, you can't do anything even if you are there. It's still the King of Chu's illness. It's said that it's Cui Jiangyan from Dali Temple."
Chi Shi paused his hands in his clothes, "Cui Jiangyan?"
Before entering Beijing, Zhou Xian told him that there are now four powerful coroners in the capital, Su Su from Jingzhao Mansion, Wang Ke from the Ministry of Justice, Cui Jiangyan from the little fairy in Dali Temple, and Wang Dawang from the former King of Chu Mansion.
Among them, Cui Jiangyan is the most special, because he is not only a famous coroner, but also has to participate in this year's spring exam. It is said that he has outstanding talent and is one of the top three. People in the capital say that in the future, Cui Jiangyan will be the best candidate for the Dali Temple Minister in more than ten years.
After Chi Shi entered Beijing, he only dealt with Su Corps from Jingzhao Prefecture. He was considered to be a fair rule and lacked a lot of evidence. Although he was not as magical as the rumor, if he did not have Chi Shi as a comparison, he would be a pretty good corps.
Cui Jiangyan, she had never even seen him.
The person from Cui's mansion was a servant named Zhushi. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, like an ant on a hot pan, and was so anxious that he was wandering around. When he saw the pool, he immediately came up and pulled her sleeve and walked out.
"Chi Junzhu, Jianghu is in urgent need of help. My son Cui Jiangyan was slandered as the murderer. Now he has been arrested by people from Jingzhao Mansion. He said that Wang Dawang is too old, Wang Ke is too fierce, and Su Su is too useless, and only you can save him."
Chi Shi paused, "How do Cui Jiangyan talk about me in daily life?"
Zhushi Tou said without looking back, "You are too poisonous, your eyes are on the top of your head."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped himself, "You just think I'm fart. My young master is about to take the imperial examination. If he is locked up for ten days and half a month, it will be over, it's all up to you."
Chi Shi's eyelids twitched, and he had never seen someone so familiar...
Before today, she had only heard Cui Jiangyan's name.
"I don't know him."
Zhushi walked faster and faster, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, you'll get to know the case. Let me tell you briefly. The young master thought that his wife was too fond of nagging, so he booked a elegant room in Jing Academy. Do you know Jing Academy?"
"A lot of scholars in the capital go there to review their books. If there is a single elegant room and a person, if there is a mess, they can communicate with each other. Jing Academy has a large lecture room, and every day they invite those who pass the exam to come here to teach their experiences, and sometimes there are great scholars."
"The young master's elegant room is in the penultimate room of the corridor. There is a candidate from Jiangnan named Wei Zidu. Wei Zidu is from a poor family and has no place to live, so he lives in that Jing Academy. There are many people like him."
"Because we are next to him, our young master often goes over to talk to him and brings him a lot of delicious food. This year's spring exam, there are three popular candidates for the top scorer. The first one is Chi Yan from your Chi Mansion, and our young master. The third one is Wei Zidu, the head of Jiangnan."
"Just just now, the young master wrote a discussion and wanted to discuss it with Wei Zidu, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he found that Wei Zi was dead. That's fine. The dagger we young master often used to peel lamb legs was inserted in his chest."
"Last night, because of the festival, the young master invited all the students from other places from Jing Academy to roast all the lamb. The meat peeled with the dagger was stabbed on Wei Zidu, and there was a cumin flavor that could not escape!"
"We were about to report to the official when we walked to the door when the official Cao Tui of Jingzhao Mansion came and caught our young master. Good guy, those who ate my young master's mutton turned against each other and refused to admit it. We insisted that our young master took the dagger in the past."
"The villain has been working hard to find you from there. It's not me that I'll brag. As long as we pass the exam, we will definitely go to Dali Temple. So if we don't pass the exam, we don't have the top scorer. Who cares?"
"As long as we don't have diarrhea, we will definitely pass the exam. We have to eat too much and kill people? It's really unjustly!"
This servant named Zhushi spoke like hail. While saying that, he walked out quickly, "Chi Junzhu, if you can save our young master, I will call you when I see you in the future."
Chi Shi brushed away Zhushi's hand speechlessly, "Don't be arrogant, just ask others for help, you have to take advantage of others. If you want to be my grandson, you will line up from the east of the city to the west of the city, why are you still getting in the line?"
When Zhushi heard this, he was stunned? What’s the point? Nowadays, if you want to be a grandson for others, you still have to queue up?
He just said casually, who would want to be a grandson?
Najing Academy is not far from Chi's house, and it is just a few steps away. Because of the murder, people are already surrounded by people inside and outside. As soon as Chi Shi showed up, he was dragged in by Cao Tuiguan.
"You came just right. Cui Jiangyan refused to say anything and insisted on waiting for you. How long have you been in the capital? Why did you know him? He is a man of a genius and has a good family background. Most people are too lazy to mess with him! Be kind to him, young master, that kind of heart is like porcelain, and he can't say it or touch it."
Chi Shi followed Cao Tui Guan upstairs and looked over carefully. This Jing Academy looked like a restaurant that was often seen in later generations. It had a long corridor, and the doors opposite the doors were all rooms.
