The little girl from Dali Temple got promoted and made a fortune by solving crimes

Chapter 7
Jiang Wenkang led a kind of Dali Temple yamen servant towards Fang Changliu's room.

Fang Changliu held the bloody inkstone in his hand and laughed so hard that tears flowed out.

"Brother Zhou, I have avenged you. I have sent the four people who killed you down to accompany you." Fang Changliu looked up to the sky and shouted: "Okay! Great!"

Jiang Wenkang moved his eyes slightly, and the yamen officer stepped forward and arrested him.

Fang Changliu seemed to be relieved, "I killed people, I killed them all."

The murderer was apprehended and everyone relaxed a lot.

But Jiang Sushang felt that it was not that simple. Fang Changliu had been covering up very well. There was no one and no evidence. Why would he expose himself?

The next day, there was a palace examination in the Qinzheng Hall.

The empress was behind the screen, and the female official opened a scroll. The title was: How a woman can be an official.

When this question came up, everyone couldn't help but sigh, get nervous, or look around, and they were all confused.

The question of how to be an official is a common question, but the addition of a woman as a prefix narrows the scope of the question.The difference in gender and the change in thinking make everyone want to speculate on the holy will and the woman's mind.It’s difficult for male Jinshi!

Looking at women, since the imperial examination for women was introduced six years ago, this is the first time that women have participated in the examination, and only one tenth of the top [-] have been selected.A woman has never been an official, and has never seen a woman become an official. The way to become an official is like a castle in the air, like a dream.It’s difficult for female Jinshi!

When the rice paper was rolled out, everyone found it difficult to start writing.

Jiang Sushang bit her pen. She wanted to write that women and men are no different. Women can do anything men can do.The way to be an official is naturally very similar.

My uncle once said: "Being an official is for democracy and sharing the worries of the world."

Jiang Sushang paused for a moment, then began to express his thoughts in a flowing manner.

The way for women to serve as officials is to benefit the people; to dedicate themselves; to be honest and fair; to understand the principles of the law.Based on these four principles, Jiang Sushang analyzed and gave examples in detail.

The incense ashes have fallen, and the time has come.The female officer collected the examination papers one by one.

The students were waiting outside the hall, while the empress was inside carefully reading the examination papers.

"Miss Jiang, I would like to congratulate you first." Lin Shengyuan said with a smile.

"Master Lin, how can I have such an honor? Mr. Lin, on the other hand, can compete for the top spot." Jiang Sushang said modestly.

"I must be among the top three in the palace examination." Xie Yi said firmly.

Others laughed at her for being frivolous, for being low in the rankings, and for being wishful thinking. Others congratulated her, but they were actually laughing at her.

Jiang Sushang heard about her name. She was the housekeeper of the Xie family. She had some talent and fame thanks to Xie Qingshu's grandfather, Professor Xie, a bachelor.

Jiang Sushang thought it would be a long time before the results came out, so he slipped away to Dali Temple.

Most people in Dali Temple recognized her and did not stop her.Not only because Jiang Wenkang was her uncle, but also because the empress granted her the right to enter and exit Dali Temple at will.The blood corpse case in the third year of the Holy Calendar remained unsolved for three months in a row. It was Jiang Sushang who used his body as bait to solve the case together with Lan Shi and Hokuriku.That year was also the provincial examination, and she almost missed the exam.

Jiang Wenkang did not shy away from Jiang Sushang's presence.

Fang Changliu knelt in the middle hall and slowly explained the ins and outs of the case.

Fang Changliu and Zhou Qiyan both took the provincial examination and came to the capital to prepare for the national examination. When they met friends through literature in Juxian Pavilion, they hit it off and became close friends.

Fang Changliu had some wealth and was particularly helpful to Zhou Qiyan.The cotton-padded clothes and quilts in winter, the pen, ink, paper and inkstones for studying, and the daily food and clothing expenses were all provided by Fang Changliu.Thanks to Fang Changliu's care, Zhou Qiyan showed no selfishness to Fang Changliu in his studies.

But as the exam approached, Fang Changliu discovered that Zhou Qiyan was answering the question papers and gave the answers to four people.

The so-called masked question paper was written by an old master who studied examinations. If you get a question right, it will be of great benefit to the examinee. "That day, I found out that Brother Zhou had answered the question paper, and I was very angry. I had a big quarrel with him and left."

Zhou Qiyan suffered from asthma and died at home.This is something Dali Temple has known for a long time.

"I blame myself very much, but this is not my fault, it is the fault of those rich people. Just because they have three melons and two dates, they force Brother Zhou to write the answers to the questionnaire for them. Without them, I would not be able to I won’t quarrel with Brother Zhou. I found letters from Brother Zhou, Sun Ming and others at my residence, so I went to the underground river to buy Qilan secret medicine."

The underground river refers to the underground river in the capital, because there are people who live in the shadows, and there are also some businesses that never see the light of day. The name of the underground river refers to underground transactions.

"I put a secret medicine that is colorless, odorless and cannot be detected even with a silver needle in an amulet and gave it to the four of them. They were unconscious and if they needed any more reminders, they would commit suicide. I spent a long time, Prompt them.”

Fang Changliu knew that Zhou Qiyan cherished pen, ink, paper and inkstones the most, so he tried his best to remind the four of them to commit suicide with pen, ink, paper and inkstones, because only suicide could prevent him from being suspected.

"Xie Qingshu didn't wear the amulet, so she was awake. But I have to avenge Brother Zhou."

"Finally, Huangtian paid off and they died."

After all, paper can't keep fire. When Fang Changliu killed Xie Qingshu, Lin Shengyuan saw him.

Fang Changliu was imprisoned and the case was over, but Jiang Sushang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

Academician Xie came to Dali Temple and wanted to take Xie Qingshu's body home.

Jiang Sushang said apologetically: "Master Xie, please forgive me."

Bachelor Xie was her Chinese studies teacher, whom she had always respected, and he only had a granddaughter like Xie Qingshu. She understood the pain of a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person. She had also seen parents taking away the body of their child in Dali Temple. Sad picture.

If she had found evidence earlier that Fang Changliu was the real murderer, Xie Qingshu and Yang Yuege would not have died.

"Girl Qingshu, grandpa will take you home." Master Xie was so distraught that he picked up Xie Qingshu's body regardless of his frail body.

"Bang." A piece of jade pendant fell to the ground.

Jiang Sushang picked up the jade pendant and couldn't help but be stunned.

This jade pendant was a thank you gift from Xie Qingshu for wanting to read "Journey to the South". Jiang Sushang clearly remembered that the jade pendant was in her hand.

Why did you return to Xie Qingshu's place?
Jiang Sushang thought about it carefully, and he seemed to have lost the jade pendant.

"Master Xie, wait a moment."

Master Xie said firmly: "I want Qingshu girl to be buried in peace."

"Master, the truth is unknown. Is Sister Xie insecure?"

Master Xie put the body back where it belonged, hoping that the truth would come to light.

Jiang Sushang lifted up the white cloth and saw a black spot on Xie Qingshu's neck.

If you try it with a silver needle, it will be extremely poisonous.

The poison in Fang Changliu's confession is so poisonous that it can't be detected with a silver needle.This poison was clearly not Fang Changliu's.

Moreover, Fang Changliu also said that Xie Qingshu was awake.

Then who gave this poison?

"Oh! Girl Jiang, you are here! Come on, come on, your majesty has summoned you. You are the number one in the palace examination, the female champion!" Uncle Qian walked in excitedly, as if his daughter had been named on the gold medal list, and there was something about it. A sense of honor.
