After Zhang Yu returned to Ruiguang, he first went to the Bureau of Concierge under the jurisdiction of the governing office to hand over his mission. Because all the officials here were appointed by the teachers of the academy, there was no need to explain further.
After staying here for more than a summer, he came out and went to the bank on the way to take out the rich gold ingot he obtained from killing the Natural Salamander.
It was not until noon that he was able to return to his residence in the academy.
Now that he was a Head Prefect, which meant that he was a teacher in the ordinary sense, he had the qualifications to exchange for a more spacious residence. However, he felt that his residence was not bad. No one would disturb him, and he was familiar with the environment, so there was no need to exchange for another residence.
Li Qing He had received the news when he went down to the dock and had been waiting outside the door. Seeing him come back, he came up and saluted, "Sir, you're back. Hot water and hot soup have been prepared at home."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Did anything happen while I was away?"
Li Qing He said, "There's nothing special. The manuscripts left by Sir were sent to the Hanmo Newspaper House as instructed in advance. The storehouse has sent the medicine bones three times this month. Qing He placed them in Sir's study room untouched."
Zhang Yu said okay and walked into the room.
At this time, a leopard cat emerged from behind him. It poked its head out and looked around. Suddenly, it jumped on top of the table. Its tail was erect, and it looked around curiously with wide eyes. After a while, it jumped a few times on the table and jumped to a big bamboo basket hanging under the high window. It shook a little, then stuck its head out and meowed at Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu glanced at it and said, "Okay, this place is yours." Then he said to Li Qing He, "Qing He, you put a soft cushion in the basket later. Go and prepare some powder pills I made for it. Don't have too much. Half a tael is enough. Just feed it once a day."
Li Qing He said, "Yes, Sir." He asked again, "Sir, does this little thing have a name?"
When the little leopard cat heard him calling it 'little thing', it meowed at him unhappily.
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "It likes to eat pills, and it understands human nature very well. It's also a leopard cat, the master of the mountain, so let's call it 'Miao Dan Jun'." After explaining, he went all the way to the study.
As soon as he entered this place, he immediately felt a warm current floating towards him. The source was undoubtedly from those bags of bone medicine. However, he also discovered that compared to the previous times, the amount of Origin Energy this time was much less. The three bags in front of him added together could not even compare to the previous times.
He guessed that this was probably because the bone fragments of the strange creature were about to be dug out.
He didn't open it immediately. Instead, he took out a document bag from the bookcase and poured everything out. Finally, a blood-stained jade pendant with the word "Qiu" on it fell out.
He picked it up and looked at it. Then, he made a print on a piece of paper. Then, he took a pen and paper. Not long after, he wrote down a document. He picked it up and looked at it. After making sure there were no mistakes, he put it in a letter box. Then, he called Li Qing He in and said, "Qing He, send this letter box and this jade pendant print to Hanmo News Agency on my behalf."
Li Qing He bowed, took the things, and went out.
In a secluded house in the southwest of the academy, Qiu Xueling was holding a teacup and admiring the flowers in the garden. Not far away, there was a painter he had specially invited. At this moment, he was adding color to the flowers on the canvas.
At this time, an assistant came over and said, "Xueling, Shaolang Zhan is here. He said he wants to see you."
"Zhitong, I heard that he made a very ugly scene in that barbarian tribe this time. He was in a very difficult situation..."
Qiu Xueling put down the teacup and rubbed his hands. Immediately, a waitress brought a basin over. He reached out and washed it in it. Then, he wiped it with a white cloth and said, "Go and take the apprenticeship note on my table and return it to him. Tell him that he is no longer my student in the future. I can't control him."
The assistant nodded and followed Qiu Xueling's instructions.
After a long time, he turned back and said, "Xueling, I have given him the note."
Qiu Xueling opened the teacup lid and blew on it twice. He said, "What did he say?"
The assistant said, "Shaolang Zhan took the apprenticeship note and left without saying anything."
Qiu Xueling paused slightly and narrowed his eyes, "Very sensible. It seems that he can afford to lose."
The assistant said, "Xueling, if we do this, are we..."
Qiu Xueling chuckled. He said, "I understand Duke Zhan. He values his youngest son very much. If nothing happens to his youngest son, then we can still get along harmoniously. If something happens, then he will definitely think of a way to let someone else take the blame. If it's not him, then it's me. Do you think I dare to keep his son by my side? It's better to get rid of this as soon as possible. "
The assistant said in a low voice, "But Shaolang Zhan is still young. If he holds a grudge in his heart..."
Qiu Xueling said unhurriedly, "So, we can't let him make a comeback. You go to Lin Ning Newspaper Office's Xie Miaobi and publish the news of me expelling him. Also, remember to say that I didn't make this decision because Zhan Zhan Zhan did something wrong... "
He put down the teacup and sat up straight with a solemn expression. "It's because I've never taught him the language of the Tough Claw Tribe before, and he's never traveled around Mount An. All the Tough Claw Tribe language he learned was from Zhang Fujiao, no, it was Zhang Shijiao who stole it. He even used my reputation to add glory to himself.
I was also deceived by him!
Let me ask you, can I keep such a student who has no morals or shame by my side? Do I dare to keep him by my side? It's a pity that I only paid attention to his talent and ignored his virtue. I'm really ashamed of what Duke Zhan entrusted me with! "
The more he spoke, the louder his voice became. He even showed a pained expression.
The assistant sighed with emotion. "Xueling is really not easy."
"Right, you should also publish a letter of apology," Qiu Xueling said as he pointed at the letter. "Apologize to Zhang Shijiao on my behalf. It's because of my lack of discipline that I ended up with a student who specializes in dishonest practices. I'll definitely pay him a visit and apologize to him someday."
The assistant raised his thumb and said, "Xueling is brilliant. After Zhang Shijiao knows about this, he won't let Shaolang Zhan go, right?"
Qiu Xueling took another sip of tea and let out a sigh of relief. He placed the teacup on the side table and said, "Let them fight. We'll just watch the show from outside."
After hearing the instructions, the assistant left to handle the matter.
At night, he came back with the smell of alcohol and said, "Xueling, it's done. Xie Miaobi said that it will be published by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I guarantee that it won't make things difficult for you."
"Good, good."
Qiu Xueling got rid of a problem and went back to rest.
Early the next morning, in Taiyang Academy's Bo Hall.
Liu Guang came to the spacious office and took a few newspapers from the newspaper box to read. Recently, the newspapers of Hanmo Newspaper House were very interesting. They often published articles about the identification of antiques. Not only were they popular and interesting, but they could also break through ignorance.
He could conclude that even if this "Tao Sheng" didn't specialize in ancient natural history, he must have studied it before. This was because the things involved in the articles couldn't be written by ordinary people.
But today, his attention was attracted by another article.
It was about an old case from sixty years ago.
Sixty years ago, with the revival of the Blood Sun Ancient Kingdom, the Protectorate General ordered a full mobilization in order to deal with the bad situation. All healthy Tianxia men under the age of sixty had to go to the battlefield.
A young teacher was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he bribed a man with a broken toe who looked similar to him. The man was called Cai Sheng and asked him to go in his place.
When he read this, although he felt ashamed of this person's actions, his emotions didn't fluctuate too much. After all, there were more than one person who wanted to escape the military service.
But the subsequent development of the matter was beyond his imagination. He didn't expect that a person's bottom line could be so low.
This young teacher actually had an affair with Cai Sheng's wife while Cai Sheng was reporting to the military service.
Perhaps because he looked similar to Cai Sheng, the two of them would sometimes hang out together during the day.
But a neighbor's child recognized that he wasn't Cai Sheng. One night, he saw the two of them meeting in private and imitated Cai Sheng's voice in the middle of the night to knock on the door.
The young teacher thought that Cai Sheng had returned and jumped out of the window in fright. In the end, he broke one of his legs and climbed onto the back of a horse to escape home.
But when he returned, he found that he had lost his jade pendant in Cai Sheng's house. Terrified, he sent one of his helpers to ask for it. Afraid that others would find out, he told the helper to go to Cai Sheng's house at night and return with the jade pendant.
After the helper left, because the knocking on the door matched the secret signal, Cai Sheng's wife thought that the young teacher had returned and opened the door to let him in.
Coincidentally, Cai Sheng had successfully completed his enlistment and received a sum of money to settle down. Because he missed his wife, he returned home in the middle of the night to send the money home. However, he happened to bump into the two of them and mistakenly thought that they were having an affair. In a fit of anger, Cai Sheng killed the two of them with a sword issued by the army. In the end, he committed suicide.
Because of the impending war, people were in a panic. The Criminal and Justice Department did a simple investigation, gathered the evidence, and hurriedly closed the case.
When the young teacher found out about this, he was afraid that he would be implicated, so he slandered the helper for stealing his things and drove out the helper's wife and children who were living in his house. And because he had a broken leg, he managed to escape the tragic battle at the Honghe Pass.
The newspaper didn't say who the young teacher was. Cai Sheng had used an alias and only printed a copy of the jade pendant in the newspaper.
When Liu Guang saw this, he had an idea.
There weren't many Tianxia people who had survived the war sixty years ago, and even fewer of them were teachers.
And there was only one person who had escaped with a broken leg.
He looked at the jade pendant again and immediately recognized that it was the character "Qiu"!
He couldn't help but laugh coldly. When he looked at the newspaper again, it seemed that there was a stain on it and he wanted to throw it away. But after thinking about it, he rolled it up and stuffed it back into the office's newspaper tube.
Auspicious Light City, Qiu Manor.
There was a rush of knocking on the door of Qiu Xueling's bedroom.
"Xueling, Xueling!"
Qiu Xueling was still asleep at this time. When he was pushed, he woke up and found that the sky was already bright. It seemed that he had used too much Anshensan before going to bed yesterday.
He woke up and said, "What's the matter? Come in. "
The helper opened the door with a newspaper in his hand and rushed to the window, "Xueling, newspaper, newspaper. Many people came to ask about this in the morning. They asked if it had anything to do with Xueling …"
"Oh, the newspaper is out?"
Qiu Xueling's expression changed slightly. With the help of the helper, he sat up and took the newspaper. However, when he opened it and read the content, his eyes couldn't help but widen. His lips trembled, and his hands trembled. Then, he roared with a voice full of fear and anger, "Slander, slander! This is slander! "
After a few times, he found that he was out of breath and lay back weakly. Then he pointed outside and said weakly, "Quick, quick, go find Lin Miaobi of the Hanmo Newspaper House and ask him …"
No!
He suddenly found that the whole article didn't mention him. If he took the initiative to ask for a retraction, wouldn't it be a confession?
"I, I …"
He only felt that a mouthful of phlegm was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't get it out. At the same time, he felt dizzy and nauseous.
At this time, another helper ran in from outside and shouted, "Not good, sir. People from the Criminal and Justice Department are here. They want to ask you about an old case. Sir … Sir? Sir? "
…
