Chapter 773 The Fall of the Xie Family (2)
When Wang Cheng was called upon by Jiang Tingsong to answer a question again, someone interrupted him by raising his right hand.
"Master Jiang, I remember that Junior Brother Wang is a student of the Earth Level. The teaching contents of the Heaven Level and the Earth Level are very different. Junior Brother Wang is not doing well here. If you swallow the whole thing, I am afraid that the whip will not reach the belly and the root will not be deep enough."
This person spoke loudly and glanced at Wang Cheng with a hint of anger and jealousy. Unexpectedly, he received a look of approval from the other party in response.
This statement was immediately met with a counterattack.
Zhang Liangchuan stood up from his seat angrily and defended his friend: "Brother Cai, what you said is wrong. Although there are differences between the heavenly and earthly levels, knowledge is the same. Moreover, Brother Wang answered the questions asked by Scholar Jiang just now accurately, which opened my eyes. It shows that he is knowledgeable. Why can't he be here?"
Jiang Tingsong raised his hand to signal Zhang Liangchuan to sit down, and echoed: "What Zhang Xuezi said is right!"
Then, he put his hands behind his back and asked calmly, "Are there any mistakes or omissions in Wang Cheng's answer just now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the students looked at each other, exchanged glances, and shook their heads truthfully.
Seeing this, Jiang Tingsong nodded slightly and continued, "In this case, he can stay here. There is no fixed method for teaching, the important thing is to be appropriate. If you stick to the hierarchy, aren't you limiting your own steps and going against the original meaning of learning?"
When everyone heard this, they bowed their heads in thought. Then, a few of them felt guilty and responded in unison: "Students will learn from you!"
Jiang Tingsong showed a look of satisfaction, and began to introduce the course to the students.
Zhang Liangchuan, who had won the battle, proudly cast a look at the old man, as if to say: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Wang Cheng: (?_?&34;), thank you so much!
Soon, the course that had made the old man the center of attention finally ended. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed the old man out of the Tianding class, ready to save his unfortunate life again.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he was caught up by the excited Zhang Liangchuan, who stepped forward and enthusiastically put his arm around his shoulders, jokingly saying, "Congratulations, brother. I didn't expect that Master Jiang would treat you like his own son. The last person to receive this treatment was Senior Brother Lu, who followed the abbot every day."
Wang Cheng reluctantly took away the man's hand and asked casually, "Brother Liangchuan, how is Brother Lu now?"
Zhang Liangchuan didn't react immediately. He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then frowned and replied, "I heard from other brothers that Brother Lu was seriously injured. This burn should leave a scar."
The old man hummed lightly and sighed, "I will be tomorrow's Senior Brother Lu."
Zhang Liangchuan: ...
The young man was slightly stunned, and hurried to comfort him: "Don't worry, Brother Wang, this will never happen. Senior Brother Lu was harmed by the rapist."
Wang Cheng turned his eyes and glanced at the naive young man, motioning him to look around.
The news that Jiang Tingsong had brought students into classes spread quickly throughout the academy during the break.
Everyone on the street was discussing Wang Cheng. Some even pointed him out to their companions, taking advantage of the fact that they had met Wang Cheng before.
Seeing this, Zhang Liangchuan scratched his head in distress, searching for words that could comfort his friend.
At this moment, a burst of synchronized footsteps came from behind them, instantly breaking the whispers of the crowd.
Wang Cheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a group of soldiers walking on the road in a menacing manner. The leading officer was holding an imperial edict with a serious look on his face.
He understood and pulled Zhang Liangchuan up, then stepped aside and watched the team of soldiers walk towards the mountain chief's office.
Seeing this, Zhang Liangchuan's desire to watch the show was instantly aroused. He quickly pulled up his friend's sleeve and ran in the direction where the officers and soldiers disappeared.
Wang Cheng: ( ̄_, ̄), thank you again!
In just a moment, the two of them caught up with the team of soldiers and heard the leader read to the headmaster: "This officer has received an order to arrest Xie Jinzhi... (a few names omitted here)"
Zhang Liangchuan's eyes widened in shock, and suddenly realized: "Something happened to the Xie family!"
At the same time, a similar scene was taking place at the Royal Girls' School.
After hearing the news, the younger sisters in Class B gave up asking about yesterday's explosive gossip, and quickly dragged their little kids into the crowd of onlookers, staring with pale faces at the young ladies at all levels who were crying and being forcibly taken away by the soldiers.
Even Princess Anping, who was always amiable, showed a rare stern expression at this moment, and watched the female student being taken away without saying a word.
Jin Xingman covered her mouth and muttered to herself, "What happened? Why did they have to come to the girls' school to arrest someone?"
"He must have committed a serious crime that brought disaster to the entire family." Shi Wanwan pursed her lips and spoke out her guess.
Then, a worried look appeared on her face. She lowered her eyes to look at the little kid beside her and asked, "Sister Princess, I haven't seen Ruyi for two days. My elder sister said that her whole family suddenly left the birthday banquet and never came back. Do you know what happened to her?"
At this moment, Xiao Yining was concentrating on counting the number of people taken away, trying to guess how many officials were involved in the case. When she heard the question, she blurted out, "Sister Shangguan bribed the palace maids to meet with Sister Lu in private, and the prince found out!"
"Ah?" Shi Wanwan suddenly lost her composure and exclaimed in disbelief.
The noise instantly aroused dissatisfaction among the young ladies around them. The other children suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly pulled the two of them away from the crowd.
Little Yining lost the best spot to eat melons, and inevitably felt a little disappointed. She replied to Shi Wanwan: "Sister Shi, Sister Shangguan is fine. The prince only punished her to watch others being executed, but didn't beat her!"
When Shi Wanwan heard this, she realized that she was too excited. She looked up at the melon-eating seat she had just sat in, and saw that it had been occupied by someone else. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was too concerned about Ruyi's safety just now, and I lost my sense of proportion."
Everyone smiled in understanding, but their smiles were a little forced, and they were obviously affected by the scene before them.
Liu Zhenying sighed deeply with sorrow: "My mother said that my father has been staying in the study these days, talking secretly with several officials from the Censorate and his staff. I didn't expect that he would bring down so many people today. It seems that my father's memorial angered the emperor! I wonder if he was scolded!"
Everyone: →_→, this isn't worry at all, it's clearly showing off!
The little sisters exchanged glances in silence and automatically ignored her words.
Chen Jiaoyi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yingzi, do you know who your father impeached this time?"
Liu Zhenying suddenly became alert. She laughed uncomfortably, "How should I know that? Last time, His Majesty thought I talked too much and punished me. My father forbade me to play in the study room!"
"Oh!"
When Chen Jiaoyi heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the little kid, and then flattered her, "Speaking of which, it was thanks to the princess's sister that she took His Majesty to play with Lord Liu last time that Yingzi was saved. This time the princess's sister was with the prince again, so she must have pleaded for Sister Shangguan, so the punishment was light!"
Little Yining blinked her eyes and pushed the flattery back: "Sister Chen, my father said that I can't talk and disturb the elders when they are doing something!"
Yan Ke also nodded in agreement, "Jiaojiao, His Majesty has always been kind and likes children. He must not like to see the daughter of an important minister treated harshly. Since he knew that Sister Liu was in trouble, how could he sit back and do nothing? Besides, I heard that the prince and His Majesty have similar personalities, so he will naturally be lenient to the daughter of a minister."
Yu Ke also quite agreed with this and immediately echoed: "Sister Yan Ke is right!"
Xiao Yining: ( ̄_ ̄|||), don’t you feel guilty when you praise this naughty kid like this?
