After drinking the plum soup, they continued to investigate the case without delay. In order to express their apology for the bowl of plum soup, Ning Shu invited Tan Siwei to sit in the carriage. Tan Siwei gladly went, but inadvertently met Huimo's eyes that almost wanted to kill him. He shook his head and laughed. He bowed to Ning Shu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Ning. It's just that the weather is hot, and it's not easy for a horse to pull a carriage. If I'm an adult man, the horse will be angry. I'm a rude man, and I'm not afraid of the sun. I'll ride the horse and accompany you. "
Ning Shu glanced at Huimo and couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect that Tan Shaoqing is not only considerate, but also good at understanding horses. Thank you for your hard work."
Hui Mo didn't realize at all that he had been metaphorically referred to as "the horse with the back heel". He thought that he had successfully resisted the strong enemy for his young master. He half raised his chin and snorted. He picked up the carriage and said cheerfully, "Go!"
He turned his head and said, "I remember that Dongbao's mother said that Dongbao has been studying in the school. There are many students in the school, and they play together all day long. Maybe we can find a little clue."
"Well, then let's go to the school first."
The capital was a place of culture and prosperity. What it lacked the least were academies of all sizes. There were academies that had been famous for over a hundred years who fought tooth and nail for a place to enroll. Naturally, there were also many old scholars who had been taking the imperial examinations for most of their lives. They couldn't make a living and were unknown, so they couldn't be hired by rich families as teachers. Most of them would choose to open a school to teach the ignorant children of poor families. They could casually teach the Three Character Classic and Hundred Surnames and earn enough money to fight for the next round of the imperial examinations. The school where Qian Dongbao was in was a typical example.
It was clearly a private school that opened in a shabby alley, using its own dilapidated house as a teaching venue. However, it had an extremely arrogant name, "Ao Shuang Academy". It was as if it was afraid that the people who came here would not know how noble and proud the teachers were, how loyal they were, and how talented they were, and how independent they were.
Standing in front of the Ao Shuang Academy, which disdained to repair even if a piece of the wall collapsed, Ning Shu and others looked at each other and were a little speechless. The sound of children's laughter could be faintly heard from the top of the wall. Tan Siwei stepped forward and knocked on the bronze handle. "Is Master Yuan here?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Tan Siwei called out again, "Is Master Yuan here?"
Only then did he lazily open the door a crack. Before Ning Shu could see Master Yuan's face clearly, she was blinded by the strong smell of alcohol on his body.
The man was nearly forty years old, and it could be seen that when he was young, he was handsome and spirited. But now, his hair had turned white and was scattered messily. His pair of eyes had long been stained by the smell of alcohol. He opened his mouth and said, "Who are you? Don't you know that I'm teaching at this hour? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, scram. "
Hui Mo raises his hand to fan the smell of alcohol in front of his face and looks at the courtyard through the crack of the door. There is no child reading hard. He widens his eyes ridiculously as if to say: Teaching? Do you teach with your toes?
Master Yuan sneered disdainfully and turns around to walk back to the courtyard. He sits on the futon under the camphor tree, holding a book in one hand and the wine pot in the other. He raises his head and drinks a mouthful of wine. "What do you know? This is called governing by doing nothing. Even the old man, the Taoist Saint, advocates the truth. You don't know shit."
It was an eye-opener to see such an arrogant and uncourteous teacher.
"Governing by doing nothing, it's simply —" Hui Mo's face is red with anger. He wants to go forward and teach him a good lesson, but he is stopped by Ning Shu. "Don't forget why we are here. Don't lose the big picture for the small."
Hui Mo heavily snorts and turns his head. Out of sight, out of mind.
Ning Shu doesn't care at all. She walks forward and smiles at Master Yuan. She salutes him and says politely, "Greetings, Master Yuan. I'm sorry to disturb you. We are investigating a case in the Supreme Court. Recently, there have been a few cases of missing children. One of them is a child named Qian Dongbao. I heard that he is an outstanding student of the Headmaster's Academy, so I came to ask for your advice.
Please forgive me. "Her words are gentle from beginning to end, neither servile nor overbearing. There is no resentment, no disdain, and no contempt. Instead, there is respect. Such an attitude and such determination makes Master Yuan think highly of Ning Shu. He puts down the book in his hand and smiles. Then he puts down the wine pot and waves his sleeves." You want to ask about the case? Well, pour me a cup of wine first! "
