There are some things that can be done but not said.
Just like Zhang Qian Ding’s attack on Feng Jiu, it would not be good if he said anything.
Now everyone in Fayin House has heard that Zhang Qianding claimed to have beaten up the prince. Who else could it be, the ninth prince Feng Jiu?
Now, the emperor will not be able to punish the Zhang family.
If only time had pa*sed and the furore had pa*sed, it would have been fine. The emperor has just spared you by showing favouritism, and now you have admitted to attacking the prince yourself.
The emperor didn’t like Feng Jiu and gave you a step down, only for you to jump right in and smash the step.
“Zhang Qian Ding, you are making a death wish —— hahaha ——,” Xu Ming Feng let out an unrestrained laugh despite the pain.
It was done, and Qing Yu watched the farce with a subtle smile.
“This Zhang Qianding, miserable ——” a playful voice came from behind as Jin Mingxuan slowly walked up to Qing Yu’s side.
“What are you doing here if you don’t go and hold on to the goodness in your hands?” Qing Yu said without looking back.
“The beauty is already in my hands, I can’t even get away if I want to. Rather, this is a good show, but it is a rare one.”
“It is rare, especially at a time when this Shanhe Academy is about to start its entrance exams, and a scholar like Zhang Qianding, I don’t know whether to say he has a big heart or is a sure winner.” Qing Yu said speechlessly.
“Naturally, it’s a sure win, just like you and I, isn’t it?” Jin Mingxuan shook his fan and said.
“Yes, just like you and me!” Qing Yu blinked a little awkwardly. I might be a bit different from you in terms of winning.
Jin Mingxuan continued, “But Zhang Qianding’s steady victory is a little different from ours. Ever since Grand Master Meng went into seclusion, all matters of the Mountain River Academy have been presided over by Dean Bai Xuechan. In order to adapt to some of the unspeakable circumstances of the Northern Zhou, the Shanhe Academy has also made some changes.
One such change was to allow court officials to have a recommended quota. Of course, the exams should still be taken, and the matter of the recommendation quota is a potential rule of sorts.
But now, after this incident, this Shanhe Academy, Zhang Qianding is afraid that he won’t be able to go there.”
No, he is just different from you, and me, but there is no essential difference, both are considered to go through the back door. It’s just that one goes openly and honestly, and one goes quietly and gently.
“Hey, Brother Meng, where are you going?”
“I walked around and didn’t find a girl to my liking, but I saw a good show. I’ve had enough fun, go rest ——” Qing Yu waved his hand without looking back.
“But how do I get the feeling that you came here just for this play ——,” Jin Mingxuan muttered softly.
———
‘Here we go again ——‘ Feng Jiu sat in the room with a haze flashing in his eyes.
He could feel that the internal force in his body’s hidden veins was starting to move again, attempting to open up new acupuncture points.
”Meng De has gone out and hasn’t come till now, I’m afraid I’ll have to suffer again ——”
‘Perhaps, he came, but he wants to punish me again.’
Luckily, Qing Yu did not mean to punish Feng Jiu again, and arrived in time before the robbery power automatically started to hit the meridians.
A little later, Qing Yu lowered his palm that was pressing on Feng Jiu’s acupuncture point and said: ”The speed of opening acupuncture points is getting faster and faster, there is still one more acupuncture point to go before your ‘Hyper-Vessel’ is opened.
My internal strength is also a bit unable to keep up. The good thing is that Zhang Qianding’s matter is taken care of. The next step is to see the aftermath.”
“Really? Brother Meng, tell us quickly ——” Feng Jiu couldn’t care less about the joy of not having to suffer that ordeal tonight, and asked Qing Yu to quickly tell us how the matter of Zhang Qian Ding was taken care of. It is evident that Feng Jiu also hates Zhang Qian Ding with a pa*sion.
“It’s just a little trick ——,” Qing Yu said about what happened at Feiyin House tonight.
He did not hide the fact that he had done some tricks, but some small details were skipped. It was some small manipulation done with the mind deterrent technique, and this could not be known to Feng Jiu in case he was alerted and prevented Qing Yu from hypnotizing him in the next step.
“Ha, woe is me, once again.” Feng Jiu laughed coldly.
This wasn’t the first time Zhang Qian Ding had tasted the bitter fruit of misfortune coming out of his mouth; last time, in the alley of Tian Le Fang, it was also Zhang Qian Ding’s accomplice who, in a moment of carelessness, spoke out his surname, allowing Feng Jiu, who was pretending to be dazed, to overhear it and quickly lock up who had knocked him out afterwards.
Interestingly, each time it was not Zhang Qianding’s own mouth that was not secret, but someone else’s woe, only for Zhang Qianding himself to taste the bitter fruit.
“Don’t be too happy, maybe the emperor will punish him again with a small punishment, showing his own generosity and gaining Zhang Haishan’s gratitude.” Qing Yu threw a pot of cold water on the excited Feng Jiu.
“Zhang Haishan is trusted by Father, and in his heart, Zhang Haishan’s status far exceeds that of me, his son; a small punishment is not a possibility, but a certainty.”
“However, Zhang Qian Ding’s attack on the imperial family is a bad reputation, and the Mountain River Academy will not accept such disloyal scholars. Zhang Qian Ding’s career path is considered extinct.” Feng Jiu laughed coldly.
Confucianism had produced Ji Mu Qing, the master who had violated the throne, and now the word loyalty was extremely important. In any case, Feng Jiu was an imperial son, and Zhang Qian Ding had deceived his master with his ministers, which was disloyal.
In the Northern Zhou court, there were people from the Northern Zhou and from the Great Qian, but they all had the same identity, people from the Shanhe Academy, and there were very few officials who were not from the Shanhe Academy. Even many military generals had studied at the Shanhe Academy.
If Zhang Qianding wanted to become an official in the future, he would be ostracised by those officials who came from the Shanhe Academy because he was disloyal.
No, with such a bad reputation, it was questionable whether he could even become an official.
“Well, I feel the same way. But in any case, the Zhang family will certainly make amends to you, the victim. You can ask for some spiritual medicine to recuperate your body on the grounds that you are sick and weak. As for how much you want, it depends on how big your appetite is ——”
“Brother Meng, don’t worry, although I am sick and weak, my appetite, is not small at all. This time, I must make the Zhang family bleed profusely.”
“And this ——” Qing Yu pulled out a folded piece of paper and threw it to Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu opened it and saw the names of some familiar or unfamiliar medicines written on it, “This is, medicine?”
“Longevity San, a good thing that can make the person who takes it feel good physically and mentally, and let go of himself,” Qing Yu rubbed his smooth chin, a wry look in his eyes, “It is not harmful to the body, and in small amounts, it is beneficial to health. But it will make those who take it extremely dependent. This is the drug that Zhang Qian Ding and the others were given tonight.
You can use them as a breakthrough to sell this medicine to those dudes who are looking for excitement all day long. Especially Zhang Qian Ding, who has lost his future and is depressed, this is the right medicine for him.”
