Chapter 4 Inquiry

 "Let's stay, and the man observes it in detail. He knows it when he sees the small things. He can solve a murder case just by just speaking. He is really a talented person." Seeing that Yang Qing was about to leave, Li County Magistrate hurried forward to stop him.

Although Li County Magistrate was angry at first that Yang Qing overturned his judgment and made him lose face, especially the lady here, he was not a petty person. If this gentleman had not come out to tell the truth, wouldn't he let a murderer go? This does not conform to his principle of being an official.

Moreover, it is much better to be told by others now than to be found out later. Otherwise, a reputation of being unsure of things and being incompetent is probably impossible to escape. After all, the person at the scene knew that it was normal for the official to make a self-death judgment. This case just happened to be a genius like Yang Langjun to be able to be solved so quickly, so he was very grateful to Yang Qing from the bottom of his heart.

What's more, after two major defeats in the country, the intelligent man who was united from all over the world died of illness and war. It can be said that the loss of talents in the Han Dynasty in recent years was too serious. Therefore, Prime Minister Zhuge repeatedly ordered officials at all levels to do their best to select talents, quickly recommend and cultivate a group of talents for the country, and enrich the official team of the court.

However, the Han Dynasty now had only one state, with only a large number of households and a population, and most of its talents were concentrated in the families of aristocratic families. After the late emperor and the prime minister entered Shu, they had already excavated a large number of talents. How many outstanding people are now scattered in the wild.

However, today I have discovered a young talented man. It is a great achievement to recommend him. However, I have to observe for a while, at least I have to understand the details of this person before I can make a decision.

"The county lieutenant is too good. Qing, but he arrived at the crime scene first. After observing for a while, he was lucky enough to see the clue. He really couldn't praise the county lieutenant like this." Yang Qing replied modestly.

Yang Qing saw that the former County Magistrate Li looked bad when he made an objection to stop him, but now he looks like a generous person.

When County Magistrate Li heard Yang Qing’s humble words, his face became even more relaxed and softer, and he secretly praised: “I solved a big case at a young age but did not take credit for myself. He was humble and polite. He was a person worth making friends with.”

"But I did not have enough time to observe Yang Qingjiu. Oh, I can't say that I can find some clues if I look at it more. Even if I can't solve the case cleanly and neatly like him, I can still make a decision by committing suicide. Well, it should be possible." County Magistrate Li asked for some points for himself and felt more smooth.

"My husband is too humble. He can understand the truth of the case with just a few clues. I ask myself that it is impossible." County Magistrate Li held Yang Qing's wrist in his left hand and twisted the three-inch beard under his jaw with his right hand, and said excitedly.

The subordinates and villagers next to him also looked at Yang Qing with bright eyes. They had never seen such a clean and neat way of judging the case. The case was solved in just a few words. Moreover, the murderer had not been punished, and he took the initiative to confess without any quibbling. The shock of using rigorous logical reasoning and strict evidence to find the murder case is far beyond the reach of torture, so Yang Qing could attract the admiration of everyone. This incident may also be a topic of conversation for witnessing the people on the spot for a long time in the future.

Yang Qing had no choice but to continue saluting respectfully, even exaggerating.

"It seems that Yang Langjun is not from the village, right?" County Magistrate Li was very curious about his identity when he heard Yang Qing's accent that was different from Shu County.

"The Qing Dynasty was a native of Jiangzhou. He traveled all the way and was about to enter the city. He rested in this village. He never thought of encountering such a thing." Yang Qing explained.

"So that's it. That's right, I am going to return to the city. Why don't you rush with me to take care of me?"

"This...then I would like to thank the county lieutenant." Yang Qing was not willing to refuse.

County Magistrate Li nodded: "It's great. People come to escort the criminal Chen San in the middle of the team and set off for the yamen."

As for the noble convoy, they left shortly after Chen San knelt down and confessed their guilt, they did not go with them all the way, which made the Li County Magistrate very disappointed. However, he thought again that although his performance today was not good, it was still normal, so it would be better to leave a plain impression. If he rushed forward to follow him again and seemed flattering, his shortcomings today would probably be a little bit amplified.

The Li County Wei made an explanation to the people in Chenjia Village, and Yang Qing also specifically thanked Mr. Liu and said goodbye. The group followed the road when they came toward Chengdu City.

On the way back, county magistrate Li Yu rode a horse in front of the team. At the invitation of Li Yu, Yang Qing also rode a horse to accompany him. When he was in Jiangzhou, Yang Qing had already found an opportunity to learn how to ride a horse, so he did not show his timidity at this time.

"My understanding, I don't know what classics you have to treat?" Li Yu asked.

The two have already informed each other of their names, and Yang Qing's character "大" was naturally chosen by himself. Qing means "大" and "大" are "大" and "大" are "大".

Seeing that Yang Qing was dressed in a commonplace, he was probably from a poor Qianzhu. Although he would not be inferior to him, his examination of him was more detailed. If this person was only a little talented in the field of punishment and had no talent in other places, his subsequent considerations would have changed.

This is no wonder that Li Yu is so cautious, because most of the books and knowledge of this era are in the hands of aristocratic families. Education is often taught by family learning, and talents often come from those generations. Although there are also talents with great wisdom among the poor or Guizhou people, this is a minority after all. Therefore, Li Yu asked this question and wanted to explore Yang Qing's knowledge.

"The Qing Dynasty came from the cold and did not specialize in classics, but only heard the teacher teach a few saints' knowledge." Just kidding, he understood what the meaning of the classics, and he would not teach this later in college. Those who could be called "province" in later generations were probably also masters of some professors and scholars. He also learned a little about the Four Books and Five Classics, but how dare he say "rule" in front of people, so he said it ambiguously, but it is also true. The pre-Qin wise men still learned some of the knowledge in high school, but they were only at the level of understanding some basic knowledge.

"Oh, I wonder which great sage Master Ling is?" Li Yu asked politely.

"My teacher is just an old man in the mountains and fields. Qing Dynasty only had the opportunity to listen to the teachings in front of him for five years, read some of the Four Books and Five Classics randomly, Lao Zhuang managed Han, and learned some astronomy, geography, military, farming and combat strategies, fire and alchemy techniques, etc., but it was not a classic, which made the county magistrate laugh."

Yang Qing began the first step in creating a character - he made a master of a mysterious hermit, and first, he seemed to be an ordinary person, and secondly, he could also explain some of his later knowledge.

Well, laughing at me, what I see is already amazing. Well, I can only understand half of these knowledge, and my other half has not yet understood what knowledge it is. Could this kid show off his knowledge in front of someone else?

Li Yu couldn't help but look at Yang Qing with suspicion and aggrieved eyes. Yang Qing didn't know what the county magistrate Li was like, so he had to look back innocently.

Well, it seems that I am thinking too much, what a simple and sincere eye, Li Yu, Li Yu, has your heart become so unbearable after years of ups and downs in the officialdom? How could you doubt the thoughts of this sincere junior?

"It turns out that the master of the emperor is actually a master of hermits and has been well-educated in great scholars. It seems that what Mingzhi learned is not a small matter." Li Yu said again: "It's just Mingzhi, I still know the Five Classics, but what are the knowledge of the Four Books, the Fire and the Alchemy? Why have you never heard of it?"

"Well, the Four Books are the combination of the four classics of "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Mencius". The Four Books are also called together with the Five Classics. As for the Fire Pills, it is the secret to cultivating immortals and asking about the Tao." Yang Qing wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and explained.

"So that's the case. Ling Shi is really a genius in the world. I don't know where Ling Shi is. I can ask the elders of the clan to recommend it to the court and give it to Ling Shi." It is called the Four Books and Five Classics, which is wonderful! The Fire Horn Alchemy is very mysterious when you hear it, and you are worthy of being a casual scholar in the mountains and fields.

Yang Qing replied to thank him: "Thank you for your kindness in the county magistrate. My family master has lived in seclusion for many years and has not had the intention to become an official. Before Qing left Jiangzhou, he had already traveled out and didn't know where to go."

I really don’t know where this teacher is, and I’m not lying.

"Oh, that's a pity. Such an expert cannot be used by the court. It's really a misfortune for the country."

When I met, this was in line with the style of a master of Yinyi. I heard that the teachers who studied in Xiangyang for quite some time were also unwilling to become an official. Fortunately, the teacher was not with the apprentice, and Yang Mingzhi thought he had learned a lot, and it would be great if this person could be used by the country.

The two continued to talk all the way, one was the origin of family education and profound classics, and the other was knowledgeable and unique in views. With the knowledge and insights of later generations, Yang Qing inadvertently showed his unique insights into the knowledge of Confucianism, Taoism and Law, which refreshed Li Yu. He picked up some knowledge of astronomy and geography that could be explained to Li Yu, which made Li Yu even more amazed.

"Yang Qing was indeed taught by experts, but it seems that he did not study the classics carefully. He didn't even know many allusions. I'm afraid that this person's knowledge is not yet known, but the word "Bo" is worthy of his name." After the two of them talked about the knowledge, Li Yu's last doubt finally dissipated.

"Mingzhi, look, that's Chengdu City." It turned out that everyone had already arrived at the foot of Chengdu City.

Looking at the majestic city walls and tall city gates, Yang Qing knew that he had finally arrived at Ji Han's heart. Even if he was a person from later generations, he couldn't help but feel his heart turbulent. No, I'm afraid that people from later generations would come here to think of meeting those people who were singing in the long river of history. It would be normal for them to rise and fall in their hearts.
