The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 180
He only heard the sound of chairs rubbing against the floor in the house, and after a while, the door was opened. A middle-aged man in his thirties, with a one-inch short beard under his chin, appeared in Xuan Shijing's room. before.

"But Dongshan Houye Xuan Shijing?" the man asked.

Xuan Shijing cupped his hands: "Exactly, is your Excellency the grand sacrificial wine of Lushan Academy?"

The man responded: "I'm going to Wu Junyan, I'll add wine for the academy, and I've seen Dongshan Hou." Wu Junyan cupped his hands at Xuan Shijing, who hadn't entered the academy yet, and Wu Junyan had to be respected in terms of etiquette. Salute to Xuan Shijing, if Xuan Shijing enters the academy, then Xuan Shijing will hold a student ceremony to meet Wu Junyan.

"Your Majesty Jijiu doesn't need to be so courteous. I follow His Majesty's order to come to Lushan Academy to enroll. I don't know if Lord Jijiu has ever received the order." Xuan Shijing went straight to the point.

"Yesterday, the father-in-law who announced the decree came to the academy to say hello. After the young master comes to the academy, he will go to class directly. I have already prepared everything for the book boy." Wu Junyan smiled, and then looked at Xuan Gao Jun behind Shijing looked a little embarrassed: "It's just that Lushan Academy doesn't allow you to bring book boys, young master, look."

Wu Junyan's attitude towards Xuan Shijing is cautious. Most of the students in Lushan Academy are children from ordinary families. There has never been a student with a title like Xuan Shijing who has a title and an official title. Let's not talk about Xuan Shi. Jing Guohou's status, even the grade of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is also several grades higher than that of Wu Junyan, a small academy, which made Wu Junyan very entangled.

And Xuan Shijing was also very surprised when he saw Wu Junyan. He originally thought that the sacrificial wine at Lushan Academy must be a 60-[-]-year-old scholar with a handsome appearance, but Wu Junyan’s image is not the same as Xuan Shijing’s imagined. The difference in image is simply too big, not to mention that he does not have the temperament of a Confucian child at all, he looks like an old oily man who has been in the officialdom, don't ask Xuan Shijing how to see it, the temperament exuded by Wu Junyan is just It's the same as the officials in Dali Temple.

How could His Majesty Li Er appoint such a person to be the sacrificial wine of Lushan Academy?

As everyone knows, Lushan Academy is not Guozijian, and most of the expenses of Guozijian are provided by the national treasury, but Lushan Academy has to figure out its own way except for a small part of subsidies from the imperial court. Therefore, Lushan Academy has more things to worry about Now, you need to deal with people more. A Confucian scholar with a noble heart will not be able to sit in this position. Only people like Wu Junyan can "operate" Lushan Academy well.

But even so, there was still a theft case, and the student's tuition was stolen. The rumors spread throughout Chang'an City, which had a great impact on the reputation of Lushan Academy. Wu Junyan has been troubled by this matter recently. The operation of Lushan Academy is inseparable from money. The tuition fees paid by the students of this academy are not small, which has already caused a lot of trouble to the financial operation of the academy.

Yesterday receiving the order from His Majesty Li Er, Wu Junyan was both headache and happy. The headache was Xuan Shijing's identity, and the happy one was also Xuan Shijing's identity. Xuan Shijing is the young secretary of Dali Temple. I heard that Lushan Academy was stolen The case has been handed over to Dali Temple by the Jingzhaoyin Mansion. Does Xuan Shijing come to Lushan Academy at this time to investigate this case?The headache is that Xuan Shijing has a noble status, how should he treat him?If it is an official position, I must salute him respectfully after seeing him. If it is a sacrifice to the students, Xuan Shijing has to be a teacher to him. Who knows how long Xuan Shijing can stay in Lushan Academy, let Xuan Shijing alone People with noble status salute themselves every day, so whether their official career will go smoothly in the future.

"Master Jijiu, don't be in trouble. The person behind me is the guard of my house, not my book boy. I am dissatisfied with Mr. Jijiu. The case of Lushan Academy has been handed over to me by Mr. Dai. It is of course the same for me to come to the academy this time." By the way, to investigate the case, don't rush to class today, Master Jijiu, can you talk about it in the room?" Xuan Shijing said.

Wu Junyan patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm too busy talking to the young master, young master, please come inside."

As he said that, Wu Junyan made a gesture of invitation, and invited Xuan Shijing into the room.

As the sacrificial wine of Lushan Academy, Wu Junyan's room can be regarded as his own office. The decoration inside is not luxurious, but there is an air of elegance, which does not match his temperament, but he is the head of the academy anyway. , can't insult Sven either.

When they came to the room, Xuan Shijing sat opposite to Wu Junyan, while Gao Jun knelt beside Xuan Shijing.

"Master Jijiu, since you already know the purpose of my visit, I would like to ask some things about this case, for example, when did this case happen." Xuan Shijing looked at Wu Junyan Said.

"Fifteen days ago, Mr. Xiao Yu came to Lushan Academy to give lectures. The students paid their tuition fees 20 days ago. The warehouse was stolen on the second day after Mr. Xiao Yu left the academy, that is, [-] days ago. At that time The academy also had students from the outer academy staying overnight in the academy because of the long distance and it was getting late, so the detection of this case caused a lot of trouble, because there were too many people involved, and there were many noble children among them. The Jingzhaoyin Mansion is not good enough to go to investigate." Wu Junyan said.

Xuan Shijing nodded and said: "That is to say, the time of the incident was about fifteen days ago to fourteen days ago. During the twelve hours of the day, Lord Jijiu, can the students from the outer courtyard bring salutes and ride in a carriage or Did the ox cart come to the academy?"

Wu Junyan shook his head and said: "Because some academies are far away from Lushan Academy, there are quite a few students who take carriages. As for those who carry luggage, I haven't noticed it. After all, Mr. Xiao Yu only has two classes in Lushan Academy. At that time, there is no need to live in the academy permanently, and there is no need to bring salutes."

Some students from the outer court came to Lushan Academy in a carriage, and now the scope of suspicion has widened. Before, it was only suspected that there were internal thieves. Now it seems that the suspicion of outsiders committing the crime cannot be ruled out, but no one Bringing a large amount of salute, if outsiders commit crimes, what means are used to transport such a large sum of money?Or if it was an insider who committed the crime, it would be impossible for a large sum of money to be transported out of the academy without anyone noticing it in a short period of time, so where would the money be hidden?

No wonder Jing Zhaoyin wanted to hand over this case to Dali Temple. The scope of the case was wide and the case was complicated.

"Master Jijiu, can you give me a copy of the roster of other academies who came to the academy to study fifteen days ago." Xuan Shijing said.

Wu Junyan nodded: "Of course." After finishing speaking, he got up and took out a booklet from the bookshelf behind him, and handed it to Xuan Shijing.
