Too much fruit

Chapter 328 Taixue offers wine
The Confucian scholars led by Gao Guanbo walked quickly by the lake, passed a few willow trees, and then walked a hundred steps to a stone tablet.

There are four hieroglyphics carved on the stone tablet. The ancient fonts seem to bear traces of time, giving the stone tablet an indescribable heaviness and vastness, making the steps of the Confucian scholars slow down unconsciously.

He simply stopped, adjusted his clothes, and then walked into the towering attic by the lake at a leisurely pace.

Bookshelves are arranged in the building in an orderly manner, filling the internal space, leaving only trails. Even the walls are made up of bookshelves. Countless books and slips are placed on the bookshelves, extending from the ground to the ground. The roof is more than ten feet high.

An old man in casual clothes was suspended in the air, taking out a bamboo slip from the bookshelf.

"Sacrificial wine."

The Confucian scholars bowed respectfully to the old man.

This old man suspended in mid-air has as many identities as the son-in-law of a certain Dragon King. In the imperial court, he is the Feng Chang among the nine ministers; in Taixue, he is the person in charge of offering wine; within Confucianism, some people honor him as For the Master.

However, he himself felt that Fengchang was too official, and that the Master was trying to exalt him. After all, the last person collectively known as "Master" was the founder of Confucianism, so he always considered himself Taixue Jijiu. , does not recognize Fengchang, nor does he recognize the title of Master.

After the Confucian scholar finished the salute, he continued: "Jiang Li, who was invited by Shenxiu, was attacked at the foot of the mountain. The student sensed that the trump card given to Mingyang was being used, so he went to investigate and found that the assassin also possessed a fourth-level move. It’s just that he died under the influence of a gentleman before he could use it in the future. Judging from his aura, he was suspected to be from the Taiping Sect..."

"It's Ji's Kui Niu transformation."

Taixue Jijiu suddenly spoke and said: "The deceased should also be a member of the Ji family, who was sent by the Ji family to beat Jiang Li."

As he spoke, the old man slowly descended from the air and landed not far in front of the Confucian scholar. His pupils, which were different from ordinary people, contained spiritual light.

The face of this sacrificial wine minister is majestic, and even his old appearance does not diminish his aura of majesty. He has a long beard that reaches his belly, and his eyes have double pupils, which is exactly what he looks like.And under the eyes, there are two closed eyes, which is very different from ordinary people.

When the Confucian scholar heard about the offer of wine, his expression changed and he exclaimed in surprise: "What should I do?"

He didn't doubt the meaning of the wine sacrifice at all, just because he knew that the body of the wine sacrifice had a vision of Taoism, and his two pupils and four eyes were enough to see everything clearly. Even if the heaven and earth around the city of God were in chaos now, he could still use the power of gazing to achieve Yi. The effect of Taoist magic.

It is precisely because of belief that Confucian scholars know that something is wrong.

Taixue actually got involved in the muddy water in such an unexpected way and even killed members of the royal family.

Jiang Li had indeed gone too far in the recent period. First he killed Prince Lu, was related to the death of Prince Lu, and now was related to the death of the fourth prince.

Although Prince Lu's son died unjustly, and Prince Lu's guilt has been concluded, there must be many people in the Ji family who have criticized this.

They may have confirmed that King Lu and his son deserved to die, but few people believed that King Lu and his son deserved to die at the hands of the Jiang family.

In this case, Jiang Li was involved in the death of the fourth prince. Ji's side just criticized it, and the Confucian scholars felt that the royal family was really open-minded and tolerant.If it were any other aristocratic family, they would probably come directly to take revenge.

However, in this case, the person who came to beat died...
This is simply a slap in Ji's face.

Unfortunately, it seemed that the person who slapped the face was not Jiang Li, but the scholar.

"Yes, what should I do?"

Taixue Jijiu said this, but there was no sign of urgency on his face. Instead, he said slowly, "You might as well ask Mr. Jiang."

······
······
From the mountainside to the top of the mountain, the mountains are empty and full of scenic views. There are many pavilions, pavilions, and majestic palaces in the mountains, which are scattered in an orderly manner. From time to time, white air turns into mist, and the mist is misty, adding a bit of fairyland color to this building complex.

This does not look like a Confucian academy, but more like a Taoist holy land.

Jiang Li was now placed in a small building next to the palace.

In the elegant room, Jiang Li was sitting in a wheelchair, closing his eyes and regulating his breath, as if recovering from his injuries, while the maid stood silently behind the wheelchair, like an invisible ghost with no sense of existence.

After he was brought into Taixue by Mingyang, Mingyang hurriedly ran to report the situation. In addition, he had to invite doctors to treat Jiang Li.

Although Jiang Li took advantage of Mingyang and borrowed a knife to kill people, he was attacked on the way to Taixue, and he was seriously injured at the foot of Qiongshan Mountain.In terms of emotion and reason, Taixue must take responsibility.

Anyway, Mingyang is very responsible now.

[Seeing Mingyang being so responsible, Jiang Li felt a little guilty... For a moment, he felt guilty. 】

The text on the set of cause and effect was refreshed, and a certain guilty person was in a dying state, with luck healing his injuries.

Time passed little by little while waiting. About half a quarter of an hour later, an old voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"But Young Master Jiang is included?"

[Without any movement or any warning, the figure appeared very suddenly outside the door and asked inside the house. 】

Jiang Li opened his eyes, looked at the text in front of him, pondered for a moment, and replied in a weak voice: "Exactly, I dare you to ask if the old gentleman is a doctor? Where is Brother Ming?"

"I am not a doctor. On the contrary, I am here to seek medical treatment from Young Master Jiang."

The old man chuckled and said: "Young Master Jiang has done us a lot of harm. You were killed at the foot of Qiongshan Mountain. I, the great scholar, came to your rescue and accidentally killed the attacker. As a result, the attacker was discovered afterwards. It's the royal family, and now even the Lord Jijiu is in trouble." "So the old gentleman is here to seek a solution from the younger generation?" Jiang Li's voice was still weak.

"Of course," the old man said with a smile, "Is this the whole world that belongs to the royal family? Although the Imperial College has a superior status, it must abide by the royal laws. If you accidentally kill someone, you will naturally have to pay the price. If Young Master Jiang can't solve it, then Taixue can only feel sorry for Young Master Jiang, and it is feasible to take Young Master Jiang to apologize to Zong Zheng."

There was an eagerness to try in the old man's voice, as if he was about to throw a cup at any moment as a signal, summoning five hundred swordsmen and axes to capture Jiang Li, and send him to Zongzheng Mansion to give him an explanation.

Jiang Li didn't show any panic at all and said, "But the murderer is not a junior."

"That's not important. What's important is that Zongzheng Mansion thinks it's you." The old man chuckled.

"Even if I have to disappoint the old gentleman."

"Oh?"

"Because I am in love with my senior sister Gongsun Qingyue and will come to propose marriage in person soon. Zongzheng Mansion will not confuse right and wrong and accuse me of falsehood."

Jiang Li didn't feel embarrassed at all and directly stated his intention to eat soft rice.

As he finished speaking, Tianxuan's laughter rang in his ears, but Jiang Li was not moved at all.

Outside the door, the old man was also speechless for a moment.

There is no way, Jiang Li's words are too reasonable.

It would be fine if Jiang Li killed the person. The other party had a reason to attack.But the problem is, Jiang Li didn't kill the person, he was just an injured person, and he came to Taixue almost alone, so how could he have the ability to kill someone.

He didn't kill anyone, and he had a background, so he couldn't be framed.

The old man originally just said this, but he didn't expect Jiang Li to actually give a reply and push back this statement.

Still such a unique reply.

The old man asked himself that he had seen a lot in his life, but for someone like Jiang Li who could eat soft food with confidence, this was the first... and second time in his life.

The first time it was given to the eldest son-in-law of the dynasty.

Thinking about it this way, the old man felt even weirder.

How come there are two such rare and wonderful things?Forget it once, let’s do it a second time.

"But this time, after all, it starts with the younger generation, and the younger generation really needs to give a solution."

Jiang Li changed the topic and said again.

"How to solve it?" the old man said. "We agreed in advance that Mingyang acted out of morality, but we cannot let him take the blame."

"Brother Mingyang saved this junior's life, how could this junior repay kindness with enmity?"

Jiang Li said slowly: "This matter is simple. There is no need to hand over Brother Ming. All we have to do is to offer wine and go to the palace to apologize to His Majesty."

"By the way, I really want to apologize, not just an attitude."

That is to say, literally, with one's arms bare and a thorn stick on one's back, one pleads guilty to the emperor.

Jiang Li dared to say that if he could do this, the emperor would 100% let this matter go.

The old man outside the door was silent for a while, and then said: "It doesn't need to go to this extent, right?"

"It's very necessary," Jiang Li said quietly, "After all, this crime is not about killing people."

The problem is not killing people, but Taixue having contact with Jiang Li, trying to find out the effect of ginseng fruit, trying to know whether ginseng fruit is useful to the emperor.

Compared to this, the death of the Ji family is completely insignificant.

Only when the imperial scholar offered wine and personally went to bear the thorn tree to plead guilty and show his obedience could the emperor truly feel at ease.

You must show sincerity, otherwise, you will be asking for forgiveness, and the emperor's doubts may not be reduced.After bearing the thorn to plead guilty, there is no room for change in Taixue's offering of wine, otherwise it will not only damage the Confucian cultivation, but also ruin the reputation.

Therefore, it is necessary to bear the burden of apology.

But that was the Taixue offering wine. The ninth minister of the dynasty, the head of the Confucian sect, had to bear a thorn to plead guilty. How is this possible?

　Second more.
