Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 119 I suggest you download a National Anti-Fraud Center APP
With a plan, Li Yan asked Pei Xingjian to resign, and asked Qiu Shenji to call Li Qianru, the prime minister of Dali Temple, outside.

Not long after, Li Qianru was dragged over.

Seeing Qiu Shenji swaggering away, Li Qianru leaned in front of him, and said pitifully, "Li Jiyi, you decided to use Qiu Wuwei!"

Li Yandao: "I will definitely not use it next time, this time I have something to look for you."

Li Qianru didn't really believe it, but as long as he didn't let that bully Qiu Shenji hang around in front of him, he would do anything: "Please tell Li Jiyi."

Li Yan asked: "It has been more than three months since Jia Sibo was interrogated by the Criminal Ministry and the Dali Temple. Does he still know what day it is?"

Li Qianru was stunned: "I didn't understand..."

Li Yan had no choice but to change it to Di Renjie. He would definitely be able to tell. When it comes to you, he will break it open and say, "You have been locking Jia Sibo?"

Li Qianru nodded: "Yeah, how dare we let him move around freely, he is fed by a special person!"

"What you said, it seems that even Lazar has been fed in..."

Li Yan was speechless: "Then when Jia Sibo was tortured and interrogated, did he have a self-protective coma?"

Li Qianru said: "Yes, we exhausted all kinds of torture in the previous month. He basically fainted when he woke up, and he woke up after a short time. Song Yuanwai is also stepping up torture these days, hoping to break through his tolerance limit. , let him confess."

Li Yan heard Jia Sibo's weak voice before, and knew that this guy must have suffered a lot.

People with a strong will will collapse under some extremely vicious criminal laws. Only a very small number of true brave men can grit their teeth and survive.

Li Yan didn't know if Jia Sibo was that kind of person, but there was martial arts power in this world, and Liniang trained by this person could withstand Xiao Ling's torture, and he himself obviously would not give in.

Li Yan asked: "Since he has been in a coma for many times, the day and night are turned upside down, his hands and feet are bound, and he can't record the date, even if Jia Sibo reads the time silently, he can't accurately determine that there are still a few days before the imperial examination, right?"

Li Qianru finally understood: "Yes, he won't know."

Li Yan smiled: "Very well, let's go, let's go to Dali Prison!"

……

In the depths of Dali Temple Prison.

The sixteen guards still stood around the cell like a rock, their eyes scrutinizing those approaching with vigilance.

Along the way, Li Yan also learned that these people were all elite soldiers carefully selected from the Zhechong Mansion, a total of sixty-four people.

Shifts are changed every three hours, four shifts a day, to ensure that the prisoners are monitored at twelve hours without dead ends.

Although the method is dull, it works.

Without Song Yuanwai's obstruction, Li Yan held the document, and the guard opened the cell door. After three months, the two sides finally met again.

With disheveled hair and bloodstained body, Jia Sibo opened his misty eyes and muttered, "Have you not given up yet?"

"it's me!"

Li Yan's voice shocked Jia Sibo, and the scarlet robe that walked in made him stare straight at it, and his gaze gradually became hotter.

Li Yan walked around the cell with his hands behind his back, sighed, "This environment is much worse than the inner prison in Liangzhou!"

This is true, Guan Liniang's cell in Liangzhou Inner Prison at least has a skylight, so you can see the moonlight.

In order to create a sense of oppression, there are solid walls on all sides, and a few short candles are inserted in the lamp sockets on the wall.

Under the faint candlelight, the instruments of torture in the prison were reflected in a mottled scene, which was very permeating.

The only place for ventilation is the window opened by the cell door.

When Jia Sibo had a conversation with Li Yan before, he also passed there.

According to what Li Qianru said, Dali Temple Prison was originally not like this, and it was specially reformed for this important prisoner, which took great pains.

Li Yan quite hated this kind of place, it should be said that normal people would not like it.

On the contrary, although Jia Sibo was beaten all over his body, he was in good spirits after waking up. He looked at Li Yan without blinking for a long time, and sighed sincerely: "The scarlet robe is so beautiful!"

Li Yan laughed: "It's the power represented by the scarlet robe, okay?"

Jia Sibo tilted his head: "Is there any difference? Li Jiyi, if you don't wear this scarlet robe, can you come here to see me?"

Li Yan nodded: "Really not, you are in high demand now, how many people are counting on you to get credit for promotion!"

Jasper's cheek muscles twitched, and he stopped talking.

A person who dreamed of becoming an official ended up being a promotion machine for others.

There is nothing more ironic than this.

That's why he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

No one can take credit for him, no one!
Of course, there is one person who can't stop his upward trend.

Li Yan's shining scarlet robe is the proof.

Annoyance welled up in Jia Sibo's heart, and he felt that the red color had become dazzling, so he simply turned his head away.

At this moment, Li Yan leaned in front of him and said with a smile: "My fate is also thanks to you, and this time, you gave me another chance!"

Jasper frowned and didn't answer.

Li Yan started pacing, just like when Liangzhou finally revealed his true colors:

"Ever since you made the threat that day, I've realized that something will happen in Chang'an."

"Fortunately, knowing your experience, this time it is easier to speculate than before."

"You have repeatedly failed the imperial examinations, and you hate the court for favoring the central government. It just so happens that it is October, and all the scholars gathered in the South Court of the Ministry of Rites to conduct this year's tribute examination."

"If you attack them, it will not only hurt the prestige of the court and the reputation of the imperial examination, but also make you angry. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Hearing this, Jia Sibo narrowed his eyes.

Li Yan didn't pay attention to his expression, and continued talking on his own:

"Cui thief set up traps in the buttermilk bucket of the Liangzhou Academy, but I saw through them and tried to poison them, but such methods can be used again."

"Of course, even if we repeat the old tricks, there is no way to poison drinks such as buttermilk, because it is an imperial city and is closely guarded."

"I wondered at first too, what are you going to do?"

"Until Kang Xianwei in Liangzhou, because his son Kang Da went to Beijing to rush for the exam, you also know my classmate."

"Their father and son came to see you at the mansion. Lieutenant Kang accidentally mentioned that the newly appointed Magistrate Lu found a elixir room in your mansion. He knew you like alchemy, but he didn't see the elixir flow out."

"So compared to ordinary drinks, the elixir, which is more likely to attract the attention of scholars, is the way you poison it, right?"

Hearing this, Jia Sibo's pupils shrank slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

Li Yan sighed:

"Of course, even if these two points are connected together, it is still difficult to handle."

"Imperial examination scholars come from various states, and there are a large number of them. In addition to the Imperial City Academy, there are also gatherings in various cities in Chang'an."

"Now that the imperial examination is approaching, I can't afford to search thousands of scholars one by one based on suspicion alone."

A sneer escaped from the corner of Jia Sibo's mouth.

But before he could be proud, his expression suddenly froze.

Because Li Yan said with a smile:

"However, there is no need to search. Since I guessed that you are going to take action against the imperial examination scholars, it must be that the closer the imperial examination day is, the greater the shock it will cause."

"Then why not start with time?"

"Therefore, I advise His Majesty to take precautions before they happen."

"Your Majesty is wise, after careful consideration, he plans to move the exam day forward five days. Tomorrow morning, the scholars will enter the examination room of the Tribute Academy and start answering the questions!"

Hearing this sentence, Jia Sibo finally changed color.

The imperial examinations in this era are fixed at a certain time period. Scholars from various states enter Beijing for the examination in October every year, but the specific day for entering the examination room is not fixed.

The process before and after the imperial examination is very long. From the examination to naming to the release of the results to the celebration banquet, it basically takes until the spring of the next year.

In this way, there is really no difference between a few days earlier and a few days later.

Of course, under normal circumstances, after the candidates report, they will accurately tell the test time.

This kind of temporary change can only be made by a saint.

And this small change can ruin the poisoning plan once.

Jia Sibo finally couldn't bear it and said, "Your Majesty trusts you so much. Just based on your guess, are you willing to believe that such a danger will really happen?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness gave me a copy of "Yaoshan Yucai", the queen gave me a copy of "Chen Gui", and His Majesty also gave me "Fanglin Yaolan". It's okay, it's just average trust!"

Jasper: "..."

You use the royal family as a book store, have you bought it yet?
The two people in the prison asked and answered. Li Qianru, who was guarding the door, wanted to lie on the door and listen, but looked at the heavy prison door and gave up.

However, there was no intense sound of torture, and Li Yan also made it clear that he was just asking a few words.

From Li Qianru's point of view, it was simply a whimsical idea to pry the traitor's mouth open just by asking.

But he didn't know that what happened inside was probably the strangest interrogation in Dali Temple Prison.

Scam!

Obviously, the case of collective poisoning of imperial examination scholars has already occurred!

Obviously the imperial examination is held normally and has not been advanced at all!
But Li Yan came up with this method relying on the fact that Jia Sibo was blocked in the prison and didn't know what was going on outside, or even what day it was outside.

It's just that other people will definitely not understand, why would such a smart Jia Sibo believe it?

The answer is simple.

Because in Jia Sibo's mind, Li Yan standing in front of him was such a terrifying detective.

His meticulous plan in Liangzhou was clearly seen by him.

The poisoning of imperial examination scholars here, if viewed from the perspective of hindsight, at least it is easier to guess than the case in Liangzhou period.

The divine detection was successful that time, why couldn't it be prevented this time?

There is another key point, with Jia Sibo's structure, many things cannot be understood.

For example, Li Zhi's behavior.

It is absolutely impossible for Li Zhi to advance the imperial examination based on the one-sided words of his courtiers.

No amount of trust is possible.

Because it was a concession of imperial power.

It's a pity that at Jia Sibo's level, he can't get in touch with the emperor at all.

From the conversation outside Chang'an City, it can be seen that he has a lot of affection for Li Zhi.

The less familiar you are with the Son of Heaven, the more you will imagine it to be beautiful and great. Even if the court is unfair, it is not the fault of the emperor, but the fault of the courtiers.

When you get really close, you know that's the case.

It is inevitable to smell far and near.

Li Yan came up with this plan after all these kinds of things. Anyway, if he can be deceived, he will deceive him. If he can't be deceived, he will look for clues.

After finishing his "reasoning", he formally looked at Jia Sibo.

From the slight trembling of the chains that bound him, it could be seen that the wanted prisoner was in a rather restless mood.

The two looked at each other.

There was a confident smile on the corner of Li Yan's mouth: "How, did I guess it?"

Jia Sibo's heart was overwhelmed, and he said word by word: "Li Yuanfang, you shouldn't stop this matter, it will only lead to more serious consequences, his determination is extremely firm, and it will never be shaken by a momentary mistake."

Li Yan was waiting for this moment.

He firmly memorized every word and every pause of Jia Sibo's tone, and said with a casual smile on the surface: "I know what you mean, the traitor behind you will not give up, and will keep tossing, don't worry, He won't be jumping for long!"

Jia Sibo shook his head: "You can't do anything to that person...you can't do anything to that person..."

Li Yan was also very excited in his heart, just waiting for him to say his name.

It turned out to be the Riddler again!
One day, with the power in hand, he will kill all the riddlers in the world!

Of course, Li Yan knew not to act too hastily, so he continued to smile with his hands behind his back, "You are also a character on one side, so why be so stubborn, I won this bet, right?"

Jia Sibo was puzzled: "Gambling?"

Li Yan said leisurely: "In order to lure me into a trap, Liniang made a murder prediction and wanted to bet with me. This time you also made a murder prediction, but I resolved it in advance. Doesn't it count as my win?"

Jia Sibo smiled wryly: "I didn't expect you to still have a strong sense of victory and defeat, and you're still obsessed with that incident. That's right, you won this time."

Li Yan opened the cell door so that people outside could hear: "Speak, I don't ask anything else, just tell me the whereabouts of those pills you made, I don't want anyone to die because of it..."

Li Qianru pricked up his ears, but Jia Sibo fell silent.

After a while, he sighed: "Forget it, if it's you, maybe there is a possibility to stop it, go to the Dou's Chamber of Commerce, there will be the answer you want."

Li Yan nodded, and walked out gracefully.

At the door of the cell, he turned around, ignored Li Qianru's adoring eyes, looked at Jia Sibo who looked much more depressed, and said silently:
"Darling, I suggest you download a National Anti-Fraud Center APP!"
