Chapter 515: Take this as a warning, and be careful!
rougegrass, it's hanging on the wall, in a white bag!"Li Yong didn't dare to delay any longer, his face ashen, he rushed out!Mr. and Mrs. Yan, seeing the door of the wing room flung open, thought the...Liu Kui's father, known as Liu Yuanwai, was beside himself with worry. He tried to step forward and plead, but the headmaster's chief attendant stopped him.
All the students here are intelligent and perceptive. To be able to enter the academy and study, they are certainly not fools.
Li Lao Er's few words just now were like dropping countless firecrackers into their hearts, which had already exploded with a boom.
They kept their mouths shut tight, to ensure that the raging gossip fire wouldn't erupt, but "smoke" was oozing out of their noses, eyes, and ears...
What does it mean to frame Jia Ren
What is cheating in an exam
What does it mean to be kicked out
At this time, Liu Kui, Wang Sheng, and the little bookboy were brought in.
All three were bound tightly with ropes and gagged.
For a whole night and half a day, they neither ate nor drank, and they couldn't sleep well either.
At this moment, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were dark circles, and his clothes were stained and dirty, he was utterly wretched.
Being suddenly called out, Liu Kui and Wang Sheng raised their heads to see hundreds of former classmates staring intently at them. They really wished they could find a crack in the ground to hide in!
Then, turning their heads, they saw their father. At that sight, they struggled even harder, whimpering in their mouths, whether begging for help or mercy...
Perhaps Dean Zhou didn't want to see hundreds of students turned into charcoal by the gossip fire. He didn't waste any time and took out two peace charms, demonstrating them in front of the students.
When two white pieces of paper fell out from the board, all the students gasped in shock.
Mr. Cheng spoke in a cold voice, recounting the events of yesterday in detail. He finished by saying: "Liu Kui and Wang Sheng, as well as the young scribe Mo Xiang, have all confessed their guilt clearly and openly."
These two playing cards and a can of powdered mustard are physical evidence. Although their two attempts to harm their classmates failed, their actions were extremely wicked!
The Dean, in unison with all the gentlemen present, has decided to expel Liu Kui and Wang Sheng from the academy, banishing them from its grounds. Hereafter, no students from either the Wang or Liu families will be admitted.
And we will inform all the academies near Kyoto about this as soon as possible!
For a moment, silence fell over the house, so profound that even the faintest sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
The students hadn't expected that Liu Kui and Wang Sheng would be so bold and vicious, with such wicked schemes.
What's even more unexpected is that the academy not only expelled him but also informed the other academies...
They have made up their minds to drive Liu Kui and Wang Sheng out of Kyoto!
If they wanted to continue their studies and take the imperial examinations, they could only go to remote state capitals.
It's not important how the Wang and Liu families settled in that remote prefecture. What matters is that the scholars and academic atmosphere there couldn't compare to those in Xindu.
Even saying, there is no wall in the world that doesn't let wind through. Could it be that even academies in remote prefectures wouldn't know about today's affairs
In the end, Liu Kui and Wang Sheng had basically severed their path to scholarly examinations.
Some students felt resentment, some pitied him, but most felt that Liu Kui and Wang Sheng deserved their fate.
Li Jia is feuding with two other families, so targeting Li Jia Ren makes sense, but why would they attack the academy and all his classmates
We almost had our reputations ruined and lost our place to study!
This time, the Wang family's visitor was Wang Cheng's father - Wang Yuanzhong. He was also a member of the Wang family's branch, a petty official who usually worked at the Honglu Temple.
The Honglu Temple used to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries and hosting grand ceremonies. Back when the imperial court was in Kyoto, it was bustling with activity. But now, during Emperor Tenmu's reign, only half of the land remains under his control. The emperor and the imperial court have been forced to retreat to the south. Who would come to pay their respects to the court anymore
Therefore, Honglu Temple was barely keeping afloat, and Wang Yuanzhong could only rely on a meager salary to barely support his family. They were not lacking in food or clothing.
Wang Sheng, his son, came to Luo'an to study, arranged by the family. He was very happy about it for a long time.
Now that he sees this, what else is there for him not to understand.
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
Even if someone says they don't want money, who would believe it If you swallow it, the hook hidden inside the steamed bun will eventually be exposed.
Their whole family was already hanging on the hook, but they were unaware of it.
His son was sent to the academy to study, and became someone else's errand boy, having to obey others' orders.
Now that things have been exposed, his son's future is ruined. His father is heartbroken and anxious. There's no connection between him and his family!
His face flushed red, then white, then back to red again, almost as if he was struggling to hold back blood from his throat. He bowed his head low to the Dean and said, "No matter the reason, my son has done wrong and been expelled from the academy. We have no complaints. Farewell!"
Having said that, he went forward and untied the ropes from his son's hands and feet. He even remembered the little bookboy, then led them away without looking back.
Liu Yuanwai, without his allied army, was so enraged he wanted to unleash a torrent of curses. But this was enemy territory; looking around, not a single person stood on his side, leaving him utterly powerless.
He could only grit his teeth, untied his son's rope in the same way, and then dragged his son away.
The Dean let out a sigh and looked at all the students, saying, "Today's events, everyone write an article, tomorrow morning to submit to their respective instructors.
"A true man who aspires to bring order to his household, govern the state, and pacify the world must first cultivate himself! After this, anyone who dares to emulate Liu Kui and Wang Sheng will surely meet the same fate. I urge you all to take heed and act accordingly!"
"Yes, Dean." All the students quickly bowed their heads and replied respectfully.
President Zhou, along with Li Lao Er and Wen Yushi, bowed respectfully and politely said: "Master, Sir Wen, if you are not busy, stay and have a cup of tea"
Li Lao'er quickly said, "No, we have already bothered the Dean for these two days. There are still some trivial matters in our town, so we will go back now."
"Alright, then I'll give these to you all."
After finishing his words, Dean Zhou and several gentlemen accompanied Old Li Er and the others out.
The dining hall fell silent for a few moments, then erupted like a pot about to boil over.
"My god, Liu Kui and Wang Sheng are too cruel! How could they come up with such a frightening scheme"
The student, overcome with surprise, blurted out a phrase in his local dialect.
His classmates wiped their foreheads with sweat and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, what are they thinking It's so unnecessary! We all studied together. What grudge could they possibly have"
"So much chickpea flour, we've really gotten in trouble! The academy’s latrines are going to be raided crazy and it's definitely going to stink to high heaven..."
"Oh, don't say any more, we'll be having dinner soon!"
"This is all minor stuff, just throw away the lucky charm! This thing is too dangerous, you never know when someone might try to get their hands on it!"
"Yes, yes, throw it away quickly!"
"We're just here to study, not in the imperial court. Why do we have to go through all this scheming and backstabbing"
It's truly difficult to tell whether someone is good or evil!
"No, I'll have a pot of fruit tea to calm my nerves!"
"Yes, get me a glass too, with extra ice!"
The students buzzed with discussion, somehow shifting their surprise and fear onto the cool, sweet fruit drinks.
As a result, the iced honey passion fruit drink sold out before afternoon.
Luckily, Xiaoyue remembered to come for the excitement and brought an ice bucket over early.
Jiarren was also surrounded by his good friends at this moment.
Compared to outsiders, those who spent every day with Liu Kui and Wang Sheng felt a greater sense of anger.
"I thought Liu Kui and Wang Sheng at most were just arrogant, saying a few harsh words from time to time. Who would have thought they were so vicious!" The gluttonous little fat man was most afraid now.anders were also clapping their tables and laughing, "Splendid! Splendid! That's the way to do it. If you don't want me as your son, naturally someone else will be eager to take me!"Some people were e...
