Xue Huan lowered his head, feeling wronged, and said softly, "Pihou, lower your voice. Master and the others are watching below."
Hearing this, Pihou glanced below the tree and saw Ma Zhou and Hao Chujun glaring at him. He quivered in fright and quickly shut his mouth.
"Pihou, don't move. I'll save you now."
Xue Huan whispered in Pihou's ear, and then began to untie the ropes on the latter's body.
It was unknown which bastard tied the ropes, but every one of them was tied to the flesh. Xue Huan finally untied the ropes after using all his strength. In the end, Pihou seemed to be a bit impatient. Once the ropes were released, he struggled to break free. The tree branch was suddenly broken, and he fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah …"
"My waist."
Pihou was half lying on the ground with his hands on his waist. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and his expression was sinister.
Seeing this, Ma Zhou quickly went up, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Pi Ji, how are you?"
However, Pihou seemed to not have heard him, and was still moaning on the ground.
This made Ma Zhou very anxious. He turned around and glanced at the dazed crowd, and angrily rebuked, "What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and send Pi Ji to the infirmary. "
Everyone suddenly understood, and all of them rushed up, preparing to take Pihou away. Most of them wanted to escape punishment, because they knew that after today's incident, their masters would not let them go. Now was the best time to escape.
However, what they could think of, Ma Zhou could naturally think of as well. His face was gloomy, and he coldly snorted, "Wait, two people are enough. Peng Xue and Jin Kai stay."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other embarrassedly. Peng Xue passed the leather monkey in his hand to the other students, and Jin Kai also retracted his step. They all turned around and lined up in a row, quietly waiting for the two teachers to reprimand them.
"You guys, you guys are really good. Which bastard came up with this rotten idea?"
Ma Zhou pointed at everyone, and his face became the color of pig liver. It seemed that he was quite angry.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at each other. In the end, they all looked at Peng Xue. Peng Xue looked at Jin Kai because he had planned to make Jin Kai the scapegoat from the very beginning. There was no other reason than Jin Kai was Ma Zhou's favorite disciple.
Seeing this, Ma Zhou and Hao Chujun more or less understood that this matter should be instigated by Peng Xue and Jin Kai. Peng Xue could still understand. His father was a second-rank official in the imperial court, so it was not strange for him to lead such a matter. However, Jin Kai was a famous student in the academy. He was excellent in both moral and academic performance.
Ma Zhou couldn't believe it, but he didn't have any evidence, so he continued to berate, "What do you mean by this? Who is the mastermind? "
As he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Peng Xue, hoping that Peng Xue would take the initiative to admit it so that the other students would not be implicated. In the end, this guy was still stubborn. He kept looking at Jin Kai as if to say that this was all done by Jin Kai and had nothing to do with him.
The others also kept quiet. They all knew that the mastermind was Peng Xue, and everyone was implicated. However, his father was a second-rank official, so who would dare to report him?
Seeing that there was no effect, Hao Chujun became impatient. He walked in front of Jin Kai and said earnestly, "Jin Kai, you have always been the disciple that we valued the most. Now that something like this has happened, you tell us, who is the instigator? Also, did you participate in it? "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Jin Kai, afraid that he would say their names.
Especially Peng Xue, he clenched his fists, and his eyes were about to burst into flames. He stared at Jin Kai, hoping that this guy would not report him.
Jin Kai was actually in a difficult position. If he reported Peng Xue, his father was a second-rank official. Not only would his career be difficult, but it would also be difficult for him to stay in the academy. If he didn't report him, his teachers would definitely be disappointed in him.
He glanced at everyone who was looking at him with hopeful gazes, and then looked at Peng Xue. He was very conflicted, but in the end, he made up his mind. He took a step forward and said seriously, "My two teachers, everyone here is the mastermind behind this matter, and they are all responsible, including myself. Please punish me."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Jin Kai, because they had not expected him to say this.
Those students who did not participate in the mastermind had already cursed Jin Kai's eighteen generations of ancestors in their hearts. They were only following Peng Xue's instructions, so how did this guy become the mastermind?
And Peng Xue could be said to be the one who benefited the most. Not only was he the mastermind behind the entire matter, he had also threatened Pihou, so he should receive the heaviest punishment. In the end, when it came out of Jin Kai's mouth, it was as if he had been erased, just like everyone else?
Ma Zhou and Hao Chujun were a little dumbfounded. They had thought that Jin Kai would report Peng Xue and explain everything clearly. Who would have thought that not only did this guy not report anyone, he even took responsibility for himself?
