These five simple words immediately ignited the flames of gossip among several students.
"Jiaren, stop beating around the bush and tell me what happened?"
"Yes, what mistake did those two guys make?"
"Did they get beaten? With a board or a whip. Did they cry like ghosts and wolves howling? ?"
They were talking lively, and other students joined in.
I heard that Jiaren had definite news here, and everyone wanted to ask more questions.
Speaking of which, Wang Sheng and Liu Kui were not very popular, and almost no one in the school had any good friends with them.
Now they are unlucky and have no intention of caring. Instead, they are all excited.
Jiaren cannot say anything casually, lest he ruin the arrangements of his elders.
So, he shut his mouth tightly and didn't say a word anymore.
Fortunately, the gentleman who was patrolling the discipline heard the commotion and came over. He scolded him a few times, and the school became quiet...
In the small courtyard of the Li family outside the college, tonight because Li Zhensheng, Li Laoer and Mr. Wen stayed overnight, there were also some people. Busy outside.
Jiayin quietly took out another jade melon, which was still cold and refreshing.
Li Zhensheng and others were all three-thirds drunk just now. Now they were sitting under the eaves of the corridor, blowing the night breeze, and eating two pieces of cool and sweet jade melon, and they were completely sober.
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter, waved her cattail leaf fan to drive away mosquitoes, and asked her about the previous incident carefully.
She heard that the two students had pleaded guilty and had thought of many ways to harm the Li family, but they had not found a chance to implement them. She really didn't know what to say.
After a while, Mrs. Li sighed and said: "Why are teenagers so bold and have such evil intentions?!"
Li Lao'er comforted: "Mom, don't get angry with these people. It's not worth it. Since they have done bad things, , you will be punished. You will not be able to study or take scientific examinations in the future, or you will regret it!"
Li Zhensheng also said: "There must be someone behind Wang Sheng and Liu Kui. Liu Kui's family is just an in-law of the Yan family, and the Yan family has also left. It's a new capital, and we don't have anything to rely on, just ordinary merchants. I can't tell, but those people from the Wang family are still determined to give up."
Mr. Wen nodded and said, "These two boys are strict with their mouths this time, so we can't question them in front of the dean and the others. But the days are long, and there will always be opportunities in the future..."
Jiayin rubbed the little fox's head, and she agreed with her uncle's words in her heart.
If there is someone behind the two students, it is most likely the Wang family.
However, the two students enrolled in Luo'an Academy before Wang Lao returned to Beijing, so the person behind this might be Wang Laosan.
But Wang Laosan is already crazy? !
Could it be that someone is using his name to continue to harm the Li family, with the idea that if he is exposed, the blame will be placed on Wang Laosan, so that no one can care about it?
Maybe he ate too much at night, so after just thinking about it for a while, Jiayin yawned.
When Mrs. Li saw her, she said a few words and urged everyone to go and have a rest.
On the second day, at three o'clock in the morning, someone from the college came to report the news.
Mr. Wen specifically asked for leave and did not return to the city. He accompanied the three brothers of the Li family and went to the academy together.
Jiayin asked her grandma to take her to watch the fun together. Mrs. Li was also worried about it, so she hurried to the cafeteria, thinking it would be convenient to inquire about the news.
Unexpectedly, the dean actually chose the cafeteria as the place to hold the meeting.
I guess I wanted to finish the meeting so that the students could eat.
After all, class continues after dinner!
Mrs. Li is a first-class imperial concubine, and Jiayin is a princess. Even if they do not intend to use their status to oppress others, at this time, as long as they show up, the dean and others will have to salute... Therefore, as soon as the grandfather and grandson arrived at the cafeteria, they were welcomed into the private room by Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying.
In the private room, there were two buckets of ice, a bottle of fruit drink, and a plate of snacks.
Tao Hongying lowered her voice and said: "Even if Mom doesn't come, I have to go back to invite you. I didn't expect the gentlemen to hold a meeting here! Mom will sit down first with the good news, and we will have dinner with Jiaren and the others at noon." ?"
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Let's check the situation at noon. They are all family members. Don't worry about going to work. Jiayin and I are in this room. If anything happens, Shuiling will go find you."
Aunt He Grandma and Shui Ling Shuiyun also nodded quickly. Grandma He assured, "Don't worry, Third Madam and Fourth Madam, we will still serve you here."
Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying then went to the kitchen.
Today, in addition to busying themselves with lunch for the students, they also have to prepare refreshments for the dean and gentlemen.
Soon, hundreds of students gathered over. Everyone was full of excitement and curiosity. They didn't understand what happened in the academy...
But they were not allowed to guess for how long. Dean Zhou brought several gentlemen and led them to The three brothers Li Zhensheng and Wen Yushi came in together.
Not long after they sat down, Dean Zhou's entourage brought three more people in.
Jiayin was lying at the door of the elegant room, holding the little fox and watching the fun. After a closer look, one of the three people was actually an acquaintance.
This acquaintance is none other than Li Yong's brother-in-law, Mr. Zhou, who helped design the hot spring valley.
She hurriedly told her grandma, which provoked Mrs. Li to come to the door and asked in confusion: "Why are Master Zhou here?"
Similarly, Master Zhou stepped into the dining hall and frowned when he saw hundreds of students. .
The Liu family came to him in the morning and said that their child had made a mistake in the academy and asked him to come with him to help intercede.
He didn't think much and just followed.
After all, when the father-in-law's family moved out, he was entrusted with taking care of the Liu family.
The Liu family has a simple population. Only the couple owns a shop in the city and the younger son is studying in college.
When walking around on weekdays, the Liu family and his wife talked and behaved well, so he agreed.
But now it seems that what happened today is not as simple as he thought...
When he saw the three brothers of the Li family and Wen Yushi again, he was even more surprised, and his heart sank for a moment.
He quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Uncle Li, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, and Yushi Wen, why are you... why are you all here?"
The Li family usually treats Li Yong as one family, and Mr. Zhou is Li Yong's brother-in-law also helped their new village a lot.
The three Li Zhensheng brothers looked at each other, not wanting Master Zhou to get involved.
As for Yushi Wen, he already had a good relationship with Mr. Zhou, otherwise he would not have directly invited Mr. Zhou to Suijintan to help design the reconstruction drawings of the valley.
The four of them immediately had a tacit understanding. Li Laoer took a step forward and asked straight to the point: "Master Zhou, who are you here for today, Liu Kui or Wang Sheng?"
"Liu Kui." Master Zhou said quickly: "The Liu family are in-laws of the Yan family. When the Yan family left, my wife and I were entrusted to take care of them."
Li Laoer nodded and said, "Liu Kui designed to frame Jiaren for cheating in the examination room. It was exposed and he will be expelled today. No There is room for negotiation. Master Zhou, you'd better go back!"
Master Zhou was stunned for a moment, then changed his expression, glared at Liu Kui's father, and then bowed deeply to everyone in the Li family, "Li Uncle, I'm really sorry today. I will definitely come to apologize someday."
"Master Zhou, you don't have to be like this. He who doesn't know is not guilty." Li Laoer gave him a hand.
Mr. Zhou stood up, said goodbye to Dean Zhou and others, and then turned around and left without any hesitation.
