"Look, look! It's right there!"
"Where? Why didn't I see it?"
"Here, there!"
Ye Changshan looked in the direction of Yingping's finger. A plaque with the four characters "Hualu Academy" was hung at the entrance of an inconspicuous courtyard.
Now that the two of them could go up and down the mountain were no longer restricted, and the sun was shining brightly today, they found some free time and asked Wen Junchen for a leave, and went into the city to look for Yiyi.
Ye Changshan fell into a brief moment of dementia as he looked at the academy. He was eager and hesitant along the way. He naturally wanted to see that slender figure as soon as possible, but if he really did meet him, he didn't know how to face it, so he was a little confused. Niggle.
"Long gown? Why are you so dazed?"
"Huh? Oh... let's go."
Ye Changshan came back to his senses, covered it up a little, and then walked towards the academy.
As soon as they stepped into the academy, they found a group of people gathered in the academy not far away, as if they were watching something.
Ying Ping is a person who likes to watch the fun, how can he let it go if something like this happens? Putting aside the matter of looking for his sister, he walked up to her.
"Eh? Young Master, may I ask what the group of people in front of you are doing?"
Yingping asked a scholar who came out of the back room.
When the scholar saw Yingping's expression of not taking it too seriously, his eyes showed disdain - Humph! This is the academy! It is a pure place to study the Tao of Confucius and Mencius! It's a good idea for all of you, either you're here to play with women or you're here to watch the fun! Nonsence!
Seeing the scholar's unkind expression, Yingping looked puzzled, thinking that there was something going on? As a result, Yingping's interest became even higher. He grabbed the scholar's sleeve and refused to let go.
"Sir, I am here to study. I just don't know what the academic style of Hualu Academy is like. I would like my senior brother to introduce me to it."
Seeing what Yingping said, the scholar's face looked a little better. He struggled to free his sleeves from Yingping's hands. After arranging it a little, he said angrily: "Our Hualu Academy originally had a good academic style. No, before. A few days ago, some second-generation ancestors came from nowhere, and instead of studying, they actually did things that ruined the school’s atmosphere!”
"Why?"
"What's the matter? It's just a matter of flirting with flowers."
"Playing with flowers and grass? Where do the flowers and grass come from in this academy?"
Seeing Yingping's puzzled face, the scholar explained helplessly: "We have a girl here who is good-looking and knowledgeable. This is not a bad thing originally, but some good people like to list these talented and beautiful people. Comparing and publicizing, some stooges came to watch after this and that, no, some of them didn’t leave even after they came..."
"Don't leave? What else can they do in broad daylight and under a clear sky?"
"Of course you can't, but a group of people surrounded the little girl and refused to let her leave. They insisted on asking her to stay and explain some "Book of Rites". Look, this is not trying to learn, this is obviously teasing!"
Yingping and Ye Changshan nodded, and then they understood why there was a group of people in front of them.
"I'm just sorry for that little girl. She was originally dedicated to studying, but she ended up in such a situation. The leader seems to be Zhang Xiujie, the son of Zhang Shouguang, the censor, right? Although Zhang Shouguang's official position is from the third rank, the censor is an important position, and officials from all walks of life are also I don’t dare to offend his father too much. His son has a wretched nature and is looking for flowers at a young age. Alas...I wonder if this girl Yiyi..."
"Who are you talking about!?"
Two unbelievable voices came at the same time, startling the scholar. Upon closer inspection, in addition to the young man who had just spoken to him, especially the young man next to him who had been silent all this time also suddenly screamed. Judging from his expression He seemed more anxious than the other one.
"I said that girl's name is Yiyi..."
"It's absolutely true!?"
"Yes, maybe you two are also here for Miss Yiyi..."
Before the scholar could finish speaking, the two of them left him behind without hesitation and walked straight into the crowd.
Seeing the two impatient figures, the scholar shook his head helplessly - he originally thought that these two people were sincere students, but it turned out that they were no different from those who only admired beauty, alas...
The crowd of onlookers was suddenly torn apart by a force, and some people even became unsteady and began to yell and curse. The noise suddenly interrupted everyone's mood to watch the excitement, and everyone looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Yiyi was also attracted by the noise and followed the sound, only to see two familiar figures appearing in front of her eyes. Seeing these two people suddenly disappear from the crowd, Yiyi felt relieved a lot. Looking at the two people's furious looks, she smiled for no reason.
"Yiyi!"
Yingping walked up to Yiyi, ignoring all the looks from behind, stepped forward and grabbed Yiyi's wrist, looked at her back and forth, and only felt relieved after making sure that there was nothing strange about her sister.
Zhang Xiujie was originally intoxicated by the movements of the beauty in front of him. He didn't even notice the commotion caused by Yingping and Ye Changshan. Now he suddenly saw a young man walking up to Miss Yiyi and holding her white, weak and boneless body. His wrist suddenly felt like someone was taking away his love, like his sovereignty was being trampled on by others. At this time, he was like a hungry wolf watching other beasts step into his territory.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiujie stood up, and the group of dudes around him also straightened up with unkind expressions.
Yingping felt the hostile and provocative eyes behind him, but he still didn't care and just looked at Yiyi with concern.
Yiyi was well aware of her brother's temper and character. Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, she was afraid that something would happen to Yingping, so she quickly said: "It's okay, Yiyi is reviewing her homework. They just came here to ask for advice... .”
Silly girl, people have bullied you and you still say good things to them. Thinking of his sister's innocent and weak character, Yingping felt inexplicably distressed.
Yingping has been protecting his shortcomings since he was a child, and his ability to 'protect the calf' has only increased in recent years. The reason is very simple - because the senior brothers and sisters from the Han family are extremely protective of their shortcomings. On weekdays, he never showed up in the mountain gate, or in other words, no one dared to bully people from poor families, but what happened to Jiang Peiyuan three years ago was the best example——
"It doesn't matter who you are. If you dare to bully us, then don't worry about it. Find your place first and then argue!"
This was not taught by my husband, but by Yingping's master Wen Junchen. When he heard this sentence, Yingping was shocked. It turned out that his reasonable master also had such an 'unreasonable' side. After careful questioning, it turned out that this was the custom in the village where Wen Junchen grew up when he was a child, and it was often instilled in the junior brothers and sisters after they entered the school. Over time, this became the first rule when encountering problems.
At this time, seeing his sister being 'bullied' like this, how could Yingping be willing to let these people go? But when he saw Yiyi's brows furrowed slightly and her eyes filled with pleading, his heart softened. He sighed and pulled Yiyi to go outside.
Zhang Xiujie saw Yingping and Yiyi so intimate from behind and became jealous. He stopped him sideways and said without any sign of weakness, "Where do you want to go?"
"Get out of the way." Yingping tried his best to calm down his breathing.
"Then what if I don't let you, young master?" Zhang Xiujie became more playful and looked at Yingping with a smile.
Feeling Yingping's anger getting worse, Yiyi unconsciously grabbed Yingping's arm tightly.
Seeing the two holding hands, Zhang Xiujie suddenly felt as if he had lost all face. He had never been so embarrassed. At this moment, he felt increasingly annoyed. He stared at the two of them and said with a lewd smile: "Oh, it turns out that Miss Yiyi has been in love for a long time."
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter from the people behind him.
'Crack - click -' Yingping clenched his fists, and his finger joints made a crisp sound. He collected his thoughts again and asked calmly: "Then can we leave?"
"Let's go? Brothers, have you learned the "Study Notes" just now?"
"No!"
"How could it be so fast?"
"I just learned it and forgot it..."
Echoes rang out from the crowd. It was obvious that this group of people, relying on their large number of people, were not willing to let the three of them off easily today.
Yingping shook his head, sighed softly, put down Yiyi's hand, suddenly turned around with a smile, and walked straight to Zhang Xiujie.
Zhang Xiujie was quite arrogant at first, but now that he felt Yingping's extraordinary magnanimity at close range, he felt a little guilty in his heart, but he did not want to show weakness in front of the beauty. His father is in charge of public opinion and supervising the officials. Although his rank is not too high, he is respected by the officials after all. Not to mention those who are not as good as his father, even those officials who are higher than his father are polite to his father. . My father occasionally had the opportunity to visit the Lord Shangshu's house on weekdays, so he had friends with all the officials in Chang'an City. Zhang Xiujie naturally knew some of the sons of high-ranking officials. Even if he didn't know each other, he had seen them before. Yingping has no memory, but where is Chang'an? Ask more, it's always right.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiujie asked loudly: "May I ask if this young master is... a merchant official?"
Yingping still smiled and said nothing.
Seeing Yingping's refusal to speak, Zhang Xiujie became more and more convinced that the person in front of him was just an ordinary person with better conditions, and said proudly: "Do you know who I am?"
Yingping and Ye Changshan looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"I am Zhang Xiujie, and my father is Zhang Shouguang, the imperial censor."
Zhang Xiujie raised his head high and looked down at Yingping, with an extremely contemptuous smile in his eyes——
Do ordinary people dare to fight with officials? Not to mention ordinary people, so what if you are a son of an official? An ordinary seventh- or eighth-grade official should still beg and fawn over his father? If your father casually takes part in your crime in front of the palace... Humph! I will obediently give up my beauty to you. I will not argue with you for the sake of your knowledge...
"What did you say?" Yingping asked with a puzzled look on his face, completely ignoring Zhang Xiujie who was smiling like a ripped pomegranate.
"Huh?" This question confused Zhang Xiujie.
"What did you just say? What about being rich?"
Zhang Xiujie was a little confused for a moment. He thought that revealing his identity would scare this kid, but he didn't expect that this kid turned out to be like an idiot and didn't understand anything. He shouted angrily——
"Doctor Yushi!"
"What is 'getting rich when you meet someone with shit'? What kind of shit is so valuable? Can you get rich if you meet one?"
"The imperial censor is..."
Zhang Xiujie's face suddenly turned red, and he felt like a fist hitting cotton, and he felt like a scholar meeting a soldier.
"Kekeke..."
Yiyi suddenly laughed at this moment. She knew that her brother was playing tricks on others again.
"Changshan, do you know what a censor is?"
Ye Changshan saw Yingping asking him sincerely, looking like a novice who didn't understand anything, and he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart - you are a dignified disciple of Wen Junchen, and you have studied with Zhongyuan Wenshou for three years, if you can't even The imperial censor didn't even know what it was. It would be too embarrassing for the second senior brother.
But after all, the two of them are like brothers, so this scene still needs to be done. Ye Changshan followed Yingping and pretended to be stupid, saying——
"What is it? Never heard of it?"
"The imperial censor is an official of the third rank! He is responsible for supervising and impeaching hundreds of officials! He oversees hundreds of officials, patrols counties and counties, inspects prisons, and cleans up court rituals..."
This Zhang Xiujie knew the duties of a royal censor very well. Yingping closed his eyes and nodded while thinking to himself. Suddenly, Zhang Xiujie's voice stopped. Yingping opened his eyes and saw Zhang Xiujie swallowing a mouthful. It seemed that he had spent a lot of saliva just explaining, and his mouth was dry at the moment.
"Is it over?" Yingping asked tentatively.
Zhang Xiujie nodded, quickly took the teacup handed to him with both hands, and took a sip eagerly.
"What does that have to do with us?"
"puff--"
Zhang Xiujie squirted a mouthful of tea on the ground and looked at Yingping for a long time without saying a word, "You...you...I..."
With a 'pop-' sound, Zhang Xiujie threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground, pointed at Yingping and said angrily: "Today, if I want you to go, I will let you go. If I don't want you to go, you have to stay!"
"Oh, really? What if we want to leave?" Yingping looked at Zhang Xiujie with a half-smile.
"Let's go? It depends on whether you have the ability to go!"
This time it was Zhang Xiujie's turn to laugh. He looked at Yingping like he was an idiot.
Ying Ping smiled slightly. He also imitated Zhang Xiujie, showing a condescending expression and said, "You said you are the son of Zhang Shouguang, the imperial censor, then... do you know who I am?"
In the past two years, Yingping has practiced diligently and taken the small pills prepared by Zichun every day. His figure can even be described as burly and majestic. He is no longer comparable to his peers. At this time, standing in front of Zhang Xiujie, he was as imposing as a hill. Steadily overpowering Zhang Xiujie.
Zhang Xiujie was a little frightened. After hesitation, he turned his head and asked softly: "Which of you knows him..."
The friends looked at each other in confusion, and then shook their heads.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhang Xiujie felt relieved, and then he said arrogantly: "Who are you? Why should I know you?"
"Hey... It's okay if you don't know me..." Yingping said to himself.
Hearing what Ying Ping said, Zhang Xiujie didn't believe his ears. He frowned and tried to understand the meaning of Ying Ping's words, but before he could think about it, his vision suddenly went dark——
'Snapped--'
The loud and crisp sound resounded throughout the house, and there was even a slight echo.
Everyone was startled by the thunder-like sound. When they reacted, they saw that Zhang Xiujie had fallen to the ground at some point. One side of his face was red and red. After a while, it became swollen.
Zhang Xiujie was so dizzy by the sudden slap that his eyes were filled with stars, and his left cheek was on fire. Only after he got up from the ground in embarrassment did he realize that he had been beaten.
"You...you...you dare to hit me!"
'Snapped--'
There was another crisp slap in the face. This slap not only knocked Zhang Xiujie to pieces and made him dizzy, but also stunned everyone. They stood motionless on the spot, and no one dared to step forward to help him.
"Hit him! Beat him!"
Zhang Xiujie shouted in fear, he had been bullying others since he was a child, and he had never been beaten so badly.
Before anyone could come forward, Yingping put his foot on Zhang Xiujie's abdomen and kicked him to the ground again. Then, he severely stepped on Zhang Xiujie's face, and rotated and rubbed it from side to side, causing Zhang Xiujie to cry out in pain.
When everyone saw this, they were so frightened that they dared to take even a step forward? They have seen fights before, and these dudes have fought before themselves, but this is the first time they have seen such a decisive, decisive and even cruel one-sided beating.
Ying Ping leaned down, put his head to Zhang Xiujie's ear, and said without any hesitation: "I don't care who you are, and I don't care who your father is. Even if your father is Zhang Shouguang, even if you are Zhang Shouguang, as long as you dare If you touch my sister with one finger, I will beat you up just the same! Get out!"
Yingping roared in anger, scaring everyone away. Zhang Xiujie covered his chest and crawled outside.
Seeing Zhang Xiujie's embarrassed appearance, Yingping narrowed his eyes. Suddenly, he shouted to stop Zhang Xiujie who was running away: "Stop!"
After Zhang Xiujie was beaten, his chest hurt terribly and he couldn't run fast. It turned out that the gang of boys who called him Big Brother were running faster than anyone else. When Yingping called him to stop, he stayed in place obediently.
Ying Ping stepped forward, saw Zhang Xiujie looking at him with a grin on his face, and asked coldly: "Just now, were you all seeking knowledge from my sister?"
"Yes, yes...just seeking knowledge...ahem...I haven't done anything, I haven't done anything...ahem..."
Ying Ping gently stretched out his palm, placed it in front of him and shook it twice.
"Ah?" Zhang Xiujie looked confused, what is he going to do? Is it possible that I have to put my face up and receive two more slaps?
"Silver", Yingping said two words calmly.
"silver?"
"My sister teaches you classes, shouldn't she be paid?"
Zhang Xiujie was completely speechless this time. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? But as soon as his hesitant expression appeared, Yingping's eyes widened. How could he resist at all?
"Okay, okay...give it, give it..."
Zhang Xiujie fumbled around and took out a few broken pieces of silver from his sleeves and handed them to Yingping.
"that's it?"
"that's it..."
"Sending the beggars away!"
When Yingping got angry, Zhang Xiujie was so frightened that he quickly took out a few banknotes from his clothes and handed them over respectfully.
Yingping took the banknote and counted it, then shook his head and said, "Why don't you write an IOU?"
"What? You still need to write an IOU!?"
"Don't be nervous, it's not much, only five thousand taels."
"Five thousand is not much!?"
"What? Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Xiujie was about to explode, but as soon as he exerted force, a burst of pain came from his chest. He thought for a while, if a good man doesn't suffer the immediate disadvantages, then five thousand taels will be five thousand taels——
"Okay! I'll write! I'll write!"
