"I thought the poison was either in the food or in the water. But I stared at it for a long time without any problem. When the goat milk was brought in, I smelled something wrong. That's how I discovered it. "
The goat milk contained a small amount of Quartz Grass juice.
This grass was not common, at least not in the Gong family's fief.
"Bastard! How could they do this to a child? Are they still human? "
Gong Yue's third elder brother slammed the table and gritted his teeth.
Lin Mengya knew he was angry. Moreover, she did not intend to let this opportunity go.
"Whether it's a human or a ghost, we'll see clearly in a moment. No matter who is behind this, we can't let any of them go. "
Gong San nodded his head heavily. His eyes were filled with trust as he looked at her.
"Little sister, we'll do whatever you say!"
"Don't worry, they won't wait long. After a while, you should go back to your study. No matter who comes looking for you, you just need to calm down and be careful. "
"What about you?"
Lin Mengya curled her lips into a meaningful smile.
"I'll hide in the dark and see what new tricks they have up their sleeves."
After they agreed, Gong San went back to his study.
Following Lin Mengya's instructions, he did not avoid the crowd or look at the students.
Lin Mengya sat on the couch and looked at the clear sky outside. She squinted her eyes and basked in the warm sun like a cat, quietly waiting for something to happen.
In the afternoon, the sound of reading came from the academy as usual.
Because the progress of each school was different, the students were divided into classes according to their progress, regardless of their age.
Therefore, in a class, there might be a child prodigy who spoke eloquently, or an ignorant and incompetent wastrel.
However, the teachers were all equally serious. They would not be overly biased because of the student's family background or talent.
"Teacher, my stomach hurts!"
In the class, Zhang Xiao, who was explaining the Book of Odes, put down his book and looked at the student who spoke with displeasure.
The student wasn't very old, but he had a steady temperament.
His face was pale, and it seemed that he was not pretending.
"Go, go, come back early."
Zhang Xiao waved his hand and let them out.
Just as he picked up the textbook and continued to explain, another person said in a trembling voice, "Sir, I … I can't take it anymore!"
Zhang Xiao's face darkened. This time, the one who spoke was the most mischievous student in the class.
"Is this a place for you to mess around?"
"But father and son, it really hurts!"
The student gritted his teeth, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Zhang Xiao looked at him and felt a little strange.
Although this child was usually stubborn and mischievous, he had never acted like this before.
He didn't have much time to think, so he waved his hand and let the child go to the toilet.
Who would have thought that this afternoon, there would be many students complaining in their stomachs.
In the end, there was a long queue in front of the toilet.
It was truly a case of "you sing, I come on stage". There had never been a day when the toilet was so warmly welcomed by the students.
In the end, those who were more serious had already turned pale, and their legs were weak and powerless.
But most of the time, they recovered after running a few times.
However, with so many students acting up at the same time, the atmosphere in the academy suddenly became a little strange.
Not long after, someone came to find Gong San.
"Director, something happened in the front yard."
Gong San was sitting at his desk, practicing calligraphy.
His little sister asked him to keep calm, and he could only use this method to calm himself down.
Perhaps because he was mentally prepared, when the person in front of him ran in noisily, he didn't feel very flustered.
He just put down his pen and asked methodically, "What happened?"
"It's the students in the front yard. I don't know what they ate for lunch, but many of them have started to have diarrhea. You'd better go and take a look!"
That person was very anxious, and hurriedly pulled him to the front yard.
At this time, the students who were more seriously ill had been sent back to their dormitories.
They didn't know who said that they became like this because they were poisoned. By the time Gong San arrived, the older students were already making a noise, saying that they wanted to go home and so on.
The younger students were also muddle-headed and timid as they cowered pitifully in the corner.
"Why are you stopping me? Don't tell me you want to beat us to death now that you haven't poisoned us to death? "
A few students took the lead to make trouble, and attacked the guards who stopped them.
The guards didn't dare to hit the students too hard, and just used their bodies to block their punches and kicks.
Although those teenagers were scholars, they still had some strength.
In a short while, some of the guards were injured by them, but the students' clothes were only a little messy.
Gong San frowned and shouted coldly, "What are you doing!"
All of a sudden, the scene became quiet.
As soon as the teachers saw their own headmaster, their hearts that were hanging in the air immediately went back to their stomachs.
They hurriedly gathered around and recounted everything that had happened from beginning to end.
Of course, Gong San believed what the teachers said.
As for these gentlemen, they were also doubtful.
Gong San was not in a hurry to explain. Instead, he walked to the center of the crowd and said in a loud voice, "Who said that they were poisoned?"
He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the students who made trouble.
He had some impression of these people. It was said that they were the poor students who signed up at the beginning of the semester.
However, at this moment, their faces were ruddy, their breaths were long, and their bodies were strong. It seemed that they had a good life in the academy.
"Director, a straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. They were poisoned. Otherwise, how could they become like this? We just want an explanation. You won't take advantage of your power to bully us, will you? "
That student's words were very arrogant. His words were implying that the academy was guilty of poisoning the academy.
Gong San secretly raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he was not so anxious.
He just looked at the student in front of him with cold eyes.
"Oh? You keep saying that they were poisoned, but I didn't know that your medical skills had improved to such an extent. I want to thank the teacher who taught you medical skills. I wonder which strict teacher taught you such a brilliant student? "
When he said that, the student's expression changed instantly.
In the academy, the teachers in charge of medical skills looked at each other.
They looked at the student's face one by one, and in the end, they all shook their heads with some relief.
"It wasn't me."
"It wasn't me either."
“...”
Hearing the teachers' denial, the student immediately felt a little embarrassed.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Hmph! Although I don't have medical skills, I've seen this poison in my hometown! This poison is called Quartz Grass, also known as Night Crying Man. Young children, as long as they ate a little, would be troubled for a few days and nights, and in the end, die of weakness. Sir Headmaster, I would like to ask you properly. Why would such an extremely vicious thing appear in the great Si Tai Academy? "
That person's tone was aggressive. Gong San's brows twitched. He did not expect his little sister to be right.
Before he could speak, another cold snort came from the crowd.
"What else could it be? Of course, he wants to silence them to cover up his crimes!"
Anger burned in Gong San's heart. This kind of slander was driving him crazy.
"Crimes? What crimes? I've heard that our Lord Dean has an upright character and is famous for being a modest gentleman! "
The leading student crossed his arms and said sarcastically.
At that moment, a thin and weak figure emerged from the crowd.
When Gong San saw this person, he felt a heart-wrenching pain.
This person was a homeless child that he had picked up outside Feiye City. He was about to starve to death.
Now, the homeless child was wearing the clothes that he had bought with his own money. He glared at him with extreme disgust and said, "It's this person! He has a golden exterior, but he's rotten inside. He set up the women's brothel not to let the girls learn to read, but to raise a group of prostitutes to help him collect money and curry favor with the rich! My poor long-lost sister. She's only 12 years old this year, but he gave her to a scoundrel who likes to play with young girls! "
When he said that, everyone was shocked.
Not long after, whispers could be heard from the crowd.
People looked at Gong San, who was accused, with all kinds of eyes.
At this time, he was already trembling with anger, and there was only a mouthful of blood in his throat.
"You, you, how can you spread lies and distort black and white? I, Gong Jiao, swear to God that I've never done such a dirty thing. How can you slander me like this! "
Gong San exhausted all of his effort to defend his innocence with every word.
However, the waif who repaid kindness with enmity only sneered and spat at him in disgust.
"You're a beast in human's face. You're really a shameless villain! You thought you did it flawlessly, but those children saw it. So, in order to cover up your crime, you used all the students in the brothel as a cover! You're really a beast in human's face. If it wasn't for the fact that one of them slept with me, he would have told me about it day and night, for fear that you would harm him! I was impatient, so I secretly investigated. Then I found out that my poor sister had been sold by you! Gong Jiao, give me back my sister's life! "
After saying that, the person actually rushed up to hit Gong San.
Gong San stood there, only feeling that his vision was black, and his tongue was even more numb. He was obviously very angry, so angry that it attacked his heart.
The homeless child's heart was very evil, and his fist actually went straight to Gong San's heart.
The surrounding people wanted to stop him, but they were not as close as the distance between them.
Just as the young man's fist was about to strike Gong San's heart, a fair hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the young man's fist.
With a blood-curdling screech, the fist was squeezed open, and a sharp-edged piece of metal fell out from within.
