Qin Feng lay on the bed, his face pale. Although the weather was much better than the cold winter, standing naked outside in the middle of the night was still extremely painful.
"Why? I don't believe that those people are so daring. His Majesty will definitely send more guards to protect us. I don't understand!" He gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "This country belongs to His Majesty. Disobeying the Emperor's orders is simply a dead end!"
Qin Feng's father, Qin Lang, stood beside the bed and looked at him. He said indifferently, "Feng 'er, do you know where you are worse than Qin Yu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng suddenly raised his head.
Qin Lang looked at him and said, "You want to be valued by His Majesty. This is not wrong. If it was ten years ago, or even five years ago, I wouldn't have stopped you. But now, how long can this country stay in His Majesty's hands?"
"Could it be?" Qin Feng's expression changed. Before this, his father had never told him about these things.
Qin Lang looked at his pale son and sighed. He said slowly, "After this incident, you should obediently stay in the mathematics school. When the time is right, you will naturally have a bright future. Don't do these things anymore …"
…
"Does it still hurt?" Ceng Zijian's feet were wrapped in a thick white cloth. A luxuriously dressed woman walked in and asked with a worried face.
Ceng Zijian gritted his teeth and said, "No, it doesn't hurt anymore."
"How can it not hurt when it's boiling water?" A middle-aged man walked in from outside the door. He coldly snorted and said, "Making you unable to get off the ground for two months is already very light. Otherwise, you will end up like the two from the Chen and Li families!"
Thinking of Chen Lisen and Li Jianren, Ceng Zijian lowered his head and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
Feng family. The current head of the Feng family warned his third son, "Remember, you are suffering from hysteria. Without my permission, your hysteria cannot be cured. Forget it, don't go to the mathematics school for the time being …"
In the Han Clan, a young man said with a bitter expression, "Father, why did you say that I'm suffering from Horse Fever? Even if it's hysteria, it's fine. Horse Fever … How am I supposed to live in the future?"
The head of the Han Clan snorted coldly and said, "Your hysteria has been used by the Feng Clan. You just have to bear with it. It's better to be cured immediately than to die!"
"For the next few days, you should also stay at home due to your illness. Forget about going to the academy, lest you end up like those other families …"
"Tomorrow, I'll send someone to the Divination Academy. Tell them that you're seriously ill and that you should stay at home for half a month!"
…
…
Similar conversations took place in the homes of many influential officials. Every family that had children studying at the Mathematics Academy gave their children a series of reminders.
He was absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not allowed to participate in the imperial court's investigation of the accounts.
What happened to the Chen family, the Li family, and the Cui family was a warning. The other families used self-harm to quickly extricate themselves from this matter. Other than the imperial family and the imperial censors, who valued their reputation more than their lives, no one else was willing to get involved in this matter.
This chaos was only the beginning. They could only hope that His Majesty could end it as soon as possible. Otherwise, no one knew how chaotic the capital would become.
"Is there no one willing to continue investigating?" In the Hall of Diligent Government, Emperor Jing held a memorial presented by the imperial censor. He narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his index finger.
Changde walked in from outside and said, "Chen Lisen of the Chen family was indeed poisoned. The son of Assistant Minister Li of the Ministry of Works was pushed down from upstairs. As for the others, I'm afraid they deliberately did it to avoid trouble."
"I'm afraid the person behind this is an important official that I rely on!" Emperor Jing sighed and said, "Changde, you have followed me for so many years. Tell me, was I really wrong this time?"
A gloomy expression appeared on Changde's face. He said, "Your Majesty is naturally not wrong. This old servant also wants to find and kill those vermin who do not do anything. It was a wise decision for Your Majesty to ask County Uncle Li to establish the School of Mathematics. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will never know that these people exist!"
Emperor Jing covered his chest and pointed to the thick pile of memorials on the table. He said, "Look, these are all memorials to stop investigating the accounts of the officials in the capital. In the court, everyone is in a panic. If I really continue investigating, the court … will be in chaos."
Changde raised his head but did not say anything.
Now that things had reached this point, only His Majesty could make a decision.
Emperor Jing rubbed the space between his eyebrows and said, "What is Li Yi doing?"
"Today is considered the school's holiday. He is resting at home." Changde replied.
Changde thought for a moment and said, "What about when the school is not on holiday?" Emperor Jing asked again.
Changde thought for a moment and said, "He is also resting at home …"
"Bastard, besides being lazy all day, what else can he do? He actually let Han 'er, an eleven-year-old child, take care of such a big School of Mathematics. Shouning and Yong Ning now spend more time with him than in the palace …" Emperor Jing's face showed a trace of annoyance. He snorted coldly and said, "He really seized the opportunity to use public office for personal gain. The Chen Family, the Qin Family, the Cui Family, the Zeng Family … this time, he did not let any of them go. I'm afraid he had already expected such a result?"
"County Uncle Li is never willing to suffer losses." Thinking of his speculation a few days ago, Changde nodded slightly.
If it were not for the families of those people who came to His Majesty to complain, these people would have all been eliminated on the day of the enrollment of the School of Mathematics. However, they tried their best and even made a certain promise to His Majesty to let these people enter the School of Mathematics …
What was the result?
It had not even been half a month since the School of Mathematics opened, but several people almost lost their lives because of this. The others did not hesitate to harm their bodies to avoid disaster. If they knew this would happen, why did they do it?
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "Let him enter the palace to see me!"
…
…
Fang said with a face full of amazement, "Those people are really ruthless. I heard that the young master of the Chen family was poured with a lot of feces to save his life. There is also that b * tch Li. When he went to the brothel, he almost fell to his death. The rest of the people were also injured and disabled …"
"Yes, they are really ruthless." Li Yi nodded and agreed with his words.
He had met Qin Feng and Ceng Zijian's students many times. They usually looked gentle, but when they attacked, they were really ruthless. They did not even let go of himself.
Such people were too dangerous and not worth being friends with.
What was more dangerous was the corrupt officials of the Jing Kingdom. They were so ruthless. The poor students of the School of Mathematics. If all of them were injured and had to lie at home for a few months, they would definitely fail the final exam. What would they do if they were kicked out of the School of Mathematics by Li Han?
Wouldn't this make heroes bleed and cry? How sad, how sad …
He really did not expect those corrupt officials to be so crazy. They learned from their mistakes. The students of the School of Mathematics could not be sent out. Otherwise, it would be pushing his students into the fire pit …
If he had known that he would have to risk his life to check the accounts, he would have asked the Imperial Censorate for more money. This time, he had suffered a great loss!
Thinking of the silver, Li Yi felt a little heartache. When he saw Chang's face, his heart ached even more.
