Chapter 101: There are other things you can do
Chapter 101: There are other things you can do
At this time, there was a crowd of people in Yi Garden, not for a celebration banquet or anything, but because the captured students were being held there.
"Minzhi, you're here too?"
"Master Ziran, you are here too... Ha, the wound on your head, it turns out you are the one who would rather die than study."
"Come and sit here."
"Hey, there were too many people just now. Who of you took my basket?"
"Oh, my feet, stop pushing them, you're stepping on them."
Teenagers are teenagers after all. Even when they are locked up, they are still talking and laughing. The hall is noisy and the instructors have to come out to scold and stop them to maintain order.
"Even if you are arrested, you should have the awareness of being arrested and not make a fuss. After all, you are a scholar."
"Didn't you say you were going to study? Then continue studying."
This makes me look more like a student.
Several students squeezed through the noise and sat in front of Yingge. Their seemingly random seating actually formed a barrier. They even talked and laughed to block the view of those around them.
"Fu Zijing is here too. It seems that Yucai and the others have indeed spread the news."
"It's because of Yingzi's poems. Fu Zijing likes poetry."
"Before we came in, we heard that those scholars and juren who had passed the imperial examinations in the city had brought people with them. I guess they will be arrested soon."
"Hasn't Mr. Lin always been against Brother Yingzi? Why is he like that this time?"
"He probably saw Brother Yingzi's attitude towards the officials in Beijing. You know, the two poems that Brother Yingzi wrote last night were very powerful. Only those corrupt officials with guilty consciences would dislike Brother Yingzi."
"That's great. There will be more people joining me now."
Yingge said at this time, "This is not enough."
Others looked at her in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yingge said, "Whether the students are good or the candidates are left behind, they are just two types of people. Or they are just one type of people. Studying and making trouble only makes the government uneasy, but they are not afraid."
"According to what you said, the most crucial thing is actually what Ziheng did?" Su Qingyu said.
Yingge was about to answer when she heard some pushing and shoving and noise outside.
"What do you want to do? You stepped on my foot."
"It was obviously you who stepped on it first, I didn't step on it..."
Hearing this, Ye Muyang said, "We in Qingfeng Society have never been afraid of this matter, let alone something like this."
The teenagers around him echoed one after another, and a voice came from outside.
"Excuse me, excuse me, please say a word."
The young men wanted to talk, but when they saw the person who turned around, they couldn't hide their emotions and said, "Master Zijing." Ye Muyang also stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you, Master Zijing."
Su Qingyu said, "I don't need to thank you for your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Fu Zijing didn't take such thanks to heart. He walked straight to Yingge, sat down, and asked directly, "What should we do next?"
What, why do you ask that? This question is not what they think it is.
Yingge looked at Fu Zijing and said, "Next, it's up to their adults to decide how to do it. We have already done our job."
Fu Zijing asked, "What are the chances of winning?"
"Victory!"
Fu Zijing was a little surprised. "This winning rate is absolutely amazing. Is it that amazing?"
Yingge nodded and said, "Because Lu Gongqing is dead, this is the biggest chance of winning."
The ones who are in control of the overall situation now are Liao Chengyi and Zhang Zhe. So what if Lu Gongqing is dead, because after his death, the next officials from the capital will come.
The news that Chen Junhe had gone to Yiyuan was still spread among the Chen family, which made the Chen family panic for a while. The masters all said that they could no longer keep this fortune teller and would personally arrest him and explain to the government what trouble he had brought to the family. While they were discussing it, Chen Junhe came back.
"Gui Zi, do you still know how to come back?"
"Tie him up and send him to the government immediately."
Chen Junhe's father scolded and prepared to tie him up with a rope.
Chen Junhe didn't look afraid or uneasy at all. He said calmly, "I want to talk to my grandfather alone. This is a matter of life and death for our Chen family."
Chen's father would never trust his words, and just said, "What do you know about life and death? Shut up!"
For the first time, Chen Junhe directly interrupted his father and said, "Of course I understand. I have experienced life and death. No one understands better than me."
The young man had a serious expression and silent eyes, and he seemed to be a little different from before. Chen's father couldn't help but be stunned. Old Master Chen also knew the situation and ordered the servants to take Chen Junhe to the study.
"Come on, tell me, what do you want to say?" Old Master Chen sat on a large round chair in the study.
Before Chen Junhe could say anything, his eyes suddenly felt sore for no apparent reason and he started to cry.
He knelt in front of Old Master Chen and said, "Grandfather, Yingge's injury was not caused by me."
Old Master Chen said calmly, "This is easy to deal with. Just go there in person and give her some injuries."
He loves his descendants so much, but this is not what he wants to talk about today!
"That night, we were not betting on poetry. We were watching Yiyuan again and killing Lu Gongqing."
Master Chen immediately sat up straight and asked, "Did you see the real assassin at that time? In Yi Garden, did you see the murderer?"
Is he a murderer? Is he a murderer? Is he someone who kills people?
Chen Junhe looked up and said, "Yes, we saw the real murderer."
Old Master Chen immediately stood up and asked, "Who?"
Chen Junhe said, "Mr. Lu!"
The real murderer is Lu Gongqing?
This news is horrifying no matter how you hear it.
What does this mean? Did Lu Gongqing kill Lu Gongqing? Old Master Chen frowned. Is this kid confused? Why is he talking so confusingly?
Chen Junhe said, "Those selected women did not commit suicide by drowning. They were killed by Lu Gongqing. Yingge and I saw it with our own eyes."
Old Master Chen was surprised. "What on earth is going on?"
The selected women were all killed by Lu Gongqing, and he and Yingge saw it with their own eyes. Yingge's injury was not caused by him, so what happened to Yiyuan that night?......
"Tell me what's going on quickly." Old Master Chen said sternly.
Chen Junhe sniffed and told how Yingge found him, how he made a poetry bet with him, how they entered Yi Garden, how he escaped from the assassin on the way, how he saw Zhu Ni, and how he ended up going to Fu Zijing, etc. He recounted everything.
Old Master Chen sat on the chair he used to sit on. Under the late autumn sunlight, he broke out in a cold sweat. He could never have imagined that these two teenagers would have experienced such a terrifying experience. This matter sounded so terrifying that no one would believe it.
"You are so brave..."
It’s not me who is bold, the bold one is Yingge, Chen Junhe wiped his tears.
"Mr. Lu actually killed someone!" Old Master Chen said, "But why?"
Chen Junhe said, "It's not a murderer, it's a man-eating monster!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no man-eating monsters." There are many people with a killing habit in this world, and cannibalism is everywhere, but, but, was Yingge injured while saving the young man named Zhu Nian?
This, he doesn’t know. Chen Junhe lowered his head. Liu Ziheng told him the secret between him and Yingge, but in fact Chen Junhe knew that Yingge should have a separate secret that even he didn’t know, which was what happened when they were on their way to look for Zhu Nian?
Zhu Nian was captured outside the garden, and Yingge was injured while saving Zhu Nian. Why didn't she take Zhu Nian away at that time, or did she actually do something else at that time? Chen Junhe's heart pounded when he thought of this. Why did he always say that Yingge killed Lu Gongqing? Such an idea must be crazy.
"So they are now determined to save Zhu Nian because they are worried about being treated as a real suspect? Well, Zhu Nian is quite loyal. He has not revealed anything about her for such a long time."
Never mind, Chen Junhe didn't think about it anymore. He knelt there straight. Old Master Chen stood up and paced back and forth in the study. Obviously he understood what Chen Junhe meant when he said that Lu Gongqing was the murderer. How dare the chosen woman be killed by Lu Gongqing? Did this just start, or did it happen in the past? But why?
No one would suddenly think of doing something, but now thinking about it, so many women died for no reason before, and it is obvious that all of these seem to be related to Lu Gongqing.
Lu Gongqing killed these women before, so he must have committed a heinous crime. If it were to be exposed, not only would the people be in an uproar, but the families of the many daughters who died before would certainly not let it go. If the injustice was to be pursued, Lu Gongqing would have deserved it.
"Did Yingge ask you to come here to tell him what to do? Are we going to go to the high school, or?"
"Grandfather, Yingge didn't say anything. She just said one sentence, asking you to forget about it and just help with the students. There's no need to file a complaint."
"What's the logic here? Forget it and just help the students?" Old Master Chen frowned, but the next moment he obviously thought of something and his expression became serious again.
"This Yingge, according to what you said, the current students surrounding Yiyuan were also caused by her?"
Not only now, I'm afraid that some things were part of her plan a long time ago, or even earlier. Chen Junhe wanted to cry again. That Lu Gongqing loved writing poetry so much, and now one of them likes to eat people, and the other one even secretly seduced students. The things they did were so scary, it was not entirely true to say that they were all monsters.
Chen Junhe could only sniff again and said, "I don't know."
Old Master Chen glared at him and said, "Even if you are so stupid, I know clearly that you don't know that you have been played into the palm of someone's hand from the beginning."
Chen Junhe shed tears sadly again. What does this matter have to do with him? I didn’t want to know anything at all.
Old Master Chen continued to pace back and forth, his expression constantly changing. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and laughed again. He waved his hand and said, "Come here."
The people outside the door had obviously guessed that Master Chen had ordered people to drag Chen Junhe away. They were getting ready when Old Master Chen said, "Go and see what those old guys in the city are doing."
The visitor was obviously stunned by his order. The old guys in the city that Old Master Chen mentioned were naturally the famous people from the four major families and eight major families. They all had children involved in this matter, and they must be racking their brains to find a solution. Old Master Chen's approach has always been to watch the fun from the sidelines. This time, the visitor glanced at Chen Junhe who was kneeling below, maybe things will be different?
Children are a debt. This statement is absolutely true. Look how worried Old Master Chen is.
Chen Junhe's father also came in from outside and said, "Father, I will lock up this rebellious son now or send him to the government. Please give me the order."
Old Master Chen said, "Why send an official? Our children won't go. If there is nothing wrong, there is nothing to send. If there is something wrong, just disappear. It's no big deal."
It’s no big deal. Father Chen couldn’t help but be stunned. Why are these words different from what he said this morning?
Old Master Chen waved his hand and said, "You go ahead. Jun He woke up after me. I have something for him to do."
Eh, Father Chen was a little stunned. There were so many grandchildren in the family, but no one followed Old Master Chen, let alone helped. Was it really the case? Could it be that he was a little worried about Junhe and wanted to take care of him personally? It didn't seem to be the case. After that, he couldn't help but tell Chen Junhe to stop causing trouble and be obedient.
"It seems that the old man likes Junhe more." Someone whispered beside him, and even had a little envy in his tone, "Old Third, this one of yours is really lucky now."
Father Chen said, "How is this possible? On what basis?"
Why? Was it because Master Junhe yelled at the gate of Yi Garden, or was it because he took a fancy to whoever disobeyed him?
The old men of the Chen family felt puzzled. Father Chen stroked his beard and wondered in his heart what Jun He was talking about with the old man. Could it be that it really concerned the life and death of the Chen family?
As the daylight gradually brightened, the atmosphere in Mo City continued to be depressed, but there were still many shops open and many people walking on the streets. The students were making trouble, but the people still had to live. In a restaurant on the street in the bustling market of Mo City, someone on the third floor withdrew his gaze from the window and closed the window. Seven or eight figures sat together in the room, making the light dim.
"Everyone, since you are all here today, let's talk. Don't think that I, Qinghe, will bear all the blame and say that the other children were bewitched. According to the character of the officials in Shangjing, everyone in our Mocheng is guilty now."
The ages of the people present varied, some were in their forties, and some were in their fifties and sixties. They all sighed when they heard him say this.
"I have already arranged for the good people, and the other party replied that it was also very difficult. He said that Liao Chengyi was from the Supervisory Department and always obeyed the Queen Mother. He was petty and vengeful, and there were few people who could talk to him."
"As for Zhang Zhe, he does things recklessly. This is how he got his start. I heard that even his immediate superior doesn't dare to provoke him easily."
"In short, they are the kind of people who do whatever they want. If they are unhappy, nothing you say will work."
"Who among us can talk to Lord Hu?"
"A few other important officials of the court will also do."
"This matter involves the government, so it's not a good idea for them..."
The room was full of discussions, and Old Master Su said solemnly, "Have you ever thought that we can do something else besides begging for mercy?"
Is there anything else we can do? What is it? Everyone looked at Old Master Su. Just as Old Master Su was about to speak, a voice suddenly stopped him from speaking.
