Xie Bangui walked to the edge of the chair and stretched out his hand to lift Zhao Siyuan up. The man without bones was just a pile of loose and rotten meat, holding it in his hand like dough with limbs visible.

Although Zhao Siyuan could not speak, tears could not stop flowing down his head hanging behind his back. After a while, his blue Confucian shirt was soaked all over. The onlookers were so frightened that the scholars were so frightened that they lost their minds.

Several people fainted on the spot.

"This man won't live long, let's prepare for the funeral! It's better for the teaching assistant to think about how to explain it to his family." Xie Bangui carefully laid the man flat on the ground and strode away without looking back.

The assistant teacher rolled his eyes and hurriedly chased after him: "Thank you, Sir, for staying behind. Please stay behind. I'm a lowly official, Gu Qian. I have something to ask of you."

"How well can I guess what Mr. Gu wants to say? Normally, Xie would be deeply honored. However, now I think it is better for you to ask Xue Cheng for instructions first, and then come to Xie.

"

The assistant teacher of the Imperial Academy was a sixth-grade civil servant, and Xie Bangui's Qianhu title was a fifth-grade official. Although he was two levels higher than Gu Qian, in the Ming Dynasty where civil servants ruled, the real value of an assistant teacher like Gu Qian was not as high.

Normally, Gu Qian would have ignored Xie Bangui at all, but this time he was forced to panic, so he lowered his face and chased after Xie Bangui.

Unexpectedly, Xie Bangui said something back, and he immediately said angrily: "Master Xie, is this a little unkind?"

Xie Bangui said with a smile: "Master Gu, what do you think the two Masters will think of this matter? Report it to the official? Or settle the matter? Or investigate on your own so that you can give an explanation to your family? Before you understand their attitude, you rashly

It's easy to offend Shangguan by looking for me, are you right?"

"I have learned a lesson." Gu Qian bowed deeply and left in a hurry. He came back before midnight and knocked on Xie Bangui's door.

Xie Bangui poured him a glass of wine and said, "There is a saying: If you have a guest, come and have tea instead of wine at night. Unfortunately, none of us brothers like drinking tea, so I can only treat you to a drink."

"It's not urgent to drink." Gu Qian frowned and pushed away the wine bowl: "Xiaguan came here mainly to convey the wishes of the two Xuecheng. The two adults do not want this matter to be publicized, but they must give it to Zhao

Everyone is responsible for this, so the heavy responsibility of investigating the case can only fall on Mr. Xie!"

Seeing that Xie Bangui didn't respond, Gu Qian quickly made a condition: "The two adults promise that as long as Mr. Xie can successfully solve the murder case, they can jointly recommend Mr. Xie to the Ministry of Rites."

In the Imperial College, the largest number of people offer wine sacrifices, starting from the third rank, followed by Xuecheng, starting from the fourth rank. The conditions of the two of them are not empty words.

Xie Bangui nodded and said, "Brother Gu, please tell me about the situation of the victim in Room A!"

Xie Bangui asked this question, and even if he agreed, Gu Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "There are twenty-two people living in Room A, and twenty of them are from noble families. They are either the descendants of princes or the direct relatives of high-ranking officials above the second rank.

.There are only two people with relatively weak backgrounds, one is Zhao Siyuan who was killed yesterday, and the other is Du Yufeng who was killed outside."

"Oh?" Xie Bangui was startled and said, "You said Du Yufeng also lived in No. A before?"

"Yes!" Gu Qian affirmed: "I live in Room 17, No. A, next to Zhao Siyuan."

Xie Bangui became interested: "How is their relationship?"

Gu Qian thought for a while and said, "He is very cold, and he even doesn't speak when we meet him."

Fatty Gao asked: "What about the relationship with other people?"
