The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 31 Opportunity
Yan Qingzhi has been standing outside Li Diudiu's door with his back to the door. He didn't say anything. He knew he didn't need to speak. When a child is scared, as long as there are adults around, the child will feel safer even if no one speaks.
When Yan Qingzhi heard that Li Diudiu ran back covered in blood, he knew that something big had happened. He rushed over and when he arrived at Li Diudiu's door, he saw bloodstains on the door handle.
In my ears was Li Diudiu's heart-wrenching cry, which was filled with fear, anxiety and grievance.
Not long after, two teachers from the academy arrived, one was called Yang Fengshan and the other was called Liu Keda. Neither of them were teachers of a disciple of Li Diudiu's age, and they had never come here before.
Liu Keda was still Xiahou Zhuo's teacher, while Yang Fengshan was a teacher in Sun Biehe's school.
"Mr. Yan."
Liu Keda walked over quickly, clasped his fists at the door and said, "You are here too, is Li Chi in the room?"
Yan Qingzhi nodded and said nothing.
Liu Keda hummed , stepped onto the steps, and said as he walked, "I want to ask Li Chi a few questions."
Yan Qingzhi did not move aside and still stood at the door. Liu Keda glanced at Yan Qingzhi and asked, "What does Mr. Yan mean by this?"
Yan Qingzhi still didn't speak.
Liu Keda took a step back, obviously a little dissatisfied with Yan Qingzhi's attitude, but he still tried to force out a smile and said: "Something happened to my disciple. I know Li Chi was there at the time. I just wanted to ask him what happened."
Yan Qingzhi pointed to the stairs.
Liu Keda thought he meant you can go in, so he took a step forward.
Yan Qingzhi's voice was very light, but his tone was very serious when he said, "Go up the stairs, and I will destroy you."
Liu Keda's expression suddenly changed.
"Mr. Yan, what do you mean by this? My disciple Xiahou Zhuo might have been assassinated. As a teacher of the academy and Xiahou Zhuo's teacher, of course I have to ask about it."
Yan Qingzhi repeated: "Go up the stairs, and I will destroy you."
Liu Keda pondered for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Then I have no choice but to offend you."
He walked forward without taking Yan Qingzhi seriously. If Xiahou Zhuo was an outlier among the students in the academy, then Yan Qingzhi was also an outlier among the teachers in the academy.
He never socialized with others. Other teachers often made appointments to go out and drink, but when he was not teaching, he would fiddle with the vegetables in his yard. Liu Keda and his friends had called Yan Qingzhi several times before, but Yan Qingzhi always declined, and they never had any contact after that.
But all the other teachers in the academy knew that Dean Gao didn't seem to like Yan Qingzhi. Dean Gao once said that the person in the academy who least looked like a teacher was Yan Qingzhi.
Although Liu Keda teaches liberal arts, he is also good at martial arts. Moreover, he came to the academy more than a year ago with a special purpose. He is confident that he will not even need to use the second trick to deal with a scholar like Yan Qingzhi.
boom!
The moment Liu Keda stepped onto the stairs, a muffled sound was heard, and then Liu Keda flew backwards, flying more than ten feet away before falling heavily to the ground.
He coughed a few times, and the droplets that came out were all red.
Yang Fengshan's face changed drastically, and he ran back to help Liu Keda up: "How are you?"
Liu Keda opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could utter a word, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, and his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Yan Qingzhi!"
Yang Fengshan stood up and pointed at Yan Qingzhi and shouted, "How dare you beat up the teacher of the academy for no reason! You beat him so badly, I don't know who can save you if you do this."
Yan Qingzhi said calmly: "Do you want to come up?"
Yang Fengshan took a step forward: "I will go up, you can't even beat me!"
It's just one step, still a long way from the stairs.
Yan Qingzhi said calmly: "Take another step."
Yang Feng raised his foot but did not dare to put it in front of him. He stood there awkwardly for a few moments like a golden rooster standing on one leg. Then he put his foot back, snorted, turned around, pulled Liu Keda up and walked out.
Yan Qingzhi saw a rattan chair in the yard. He went over, moved the chair over and placed it at the door. He sat on the chair, crossed his legs, closed his eyes and took a rest.
Not long after, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door. This time, a group of people in official uniforms of detectives arrived. Leading the group was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was a little fat, and the uniform made his belly look a little uncomfortable.
"I am Li Changxing, the head of the Jizhou Prefecture. I have been ordered to bring Li Chi, a disciple of the academy, back to the government office for questioning."
Li Changxing walked into the yard, looked at Yan Qingzhi and said, "Sir, please move aside, or I can arrest you and take you to the government office for obstructing public service."
Yan Qingzhi slowly opened his eyes and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Are you sure Xiahou Zhuo is dead ?"
Li Changxing was stunned and seemed unable to answer for a moment.
Yan Qingzhi's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the rattan chair, as if he was plucking a bowstring. In an invisible place, a feather arrow was ready to be fired.
Yan Qingzhi raised his eyelids, looking lazy as always, as if even opening his eyes fully was a very tiring and troublesome thing.
He glanced at Li Changxing and said, "If you are not sure whether Xiahou Zhuo is dead or not, you'd better not rush to choose a side."
Li Changxing was silent for a moment before saying, "I am the head of the Jizhou Prefecture police station and I am here to investigate official business. I don't know what you are talking about, and I don't know who you are. I only know that if you don't get out of the way, I will enforce the law against you."
Yan Qingzhi sighed softly and said, "I really shouldn't have come."
Li Changxing said, "You just realized now that you shouldn't have come. As a teacher in the academy, you should not fight with the world and just teach and educate people. You should think about which side you are on. What qualifications do you have to stand on? You really shouldn't have come."
Yan Qingzhi said: "But I'm here."
Li Changxing asked, "Do you really want to get involved in Xiahou Zhuo's affairs?"
Yan Qingzhi looked back at Li Diudiu's door, and when he turned back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was a resolute smile.
"What does Xiahou Zhuo's matter have to do with me? The person behind me is my disciple, and this is what concerns me."
After hearing this, Li Changxing put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and the knife looked like it was sniffing blood as it was about to be unsheathed.
"gentlemen."
The door creaked open, and Li Diudiu, who had already changed his clothes and washed up, walked out of the room. He walked to Yan Qingzhi's side, bowed and said, "Thank you, sir. I'll go with them."
Yan Qingzhi frowned slightly: "Why?"
Li Diudiu said seriously: "I still believe in the laws of Da Chu."
In fact, what he wanted to say was that I didn't want to involve the teacher. Although being a teacher in a college didn't have a bright future, he was still a superior person. If Yan Qingzhi was involved because of his affairs, he would feel like a sinner.
Yan Qingzhi was about to say, "You still believe in the laws of the Great Chu," but before he could finish his words, Li Diudiu shook his head to stop him.
If he said this, it would definitely become a handle.
"Don't worry, sir."
Li Diudiu bowed and said, "I will just go with them. I will come back after I have learned the case clearly. Thank you, sir."
Yan Qingzhi said: "I won't let you go."
Li Changxing was furious: "You want to stop law enforcement?"
Before Yan Qingzhi could say anything, the dean of the Four Pages Academy came in quickly from outside. When he saw Yan Qingzhi, he scolded him, "Yan Qingzhi, what on earth do you want to do?"
Yan Qingzhi frowned: "Master Dean..."
Dean Gao said angrily, "You have been teaching in the academy and your job is to educate people. You should know what is right and wrong. You should not stop the people from the government office from taking people away."
Li Changxing smiled, thinking that the dean was a man who knew the situation. He quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, dean."
Dean Gao walked up to Li Diudiu and raised his hand to straighten Li Diudiu's clothes: "I have remembered what you look like now. You should go well and come back well. If you don't look like this when you come back..."
He turned around and glanced at Li Changxing and said, "If the government wants to enforce the law, my disciples will naturally cooperate. You can take people away if you say so. But if my disciples are innocent but are punished, I will go to your governor to ask about it."
Li Changxing's face changed, and he leaned forward and said, "Don't worry, Dean, I'm just taking him back to ask a few questions."
Li Diudiu thanked President Gao and then followed Li Changxing.
Yan Qingzhi glared at Dean Gao fiercely, as if he didn't take the dean seriously at all.
Dean Gao sighed and said, "You are a teacher in the academy. If you hurt the police, you will be finished. You were impulsive when you were young. Why are you still so impulsive now?"
Yan Qingzhi said: "If living is just for the sake of living, then the dean should not have taught us those poems in the first place. The teacher taught us word by word!"
He walked away, saying loudly as he walked: "The heaven and earth have righteousness, which is mixed and flowing. Below it is the rivers and mountains, and above it is the sun and stars. In people it is called Haoran, which is overwhelming and fills the dark. When the time is right, it will show its integrity, and each one will be recorded in red and blue!"
Dean Gao's expression kept changing, and he stood there in a daze for a while.
Gao Xining ran over from a distance. She was so anxious having just received the news that her face turned pale. Her face was covered with beads of sweat as she ran all the way over.
"Grandpa, where's Li Chi?!"
Gao Shaowei said: "He was taken away by the government officials. Don't worry, he will be fine. I have sent someone to inform Xiahou Zhuo's father. As long as he says a few words, Li Chi will be fine. After all, Li Chi was trying to save Xiahou Zhuo."
Gao Xining didn't know what happened yet. She just heard that the police from the government came to arrest Li Chi, so she asked in confusion: "Why did he save Xiahou Zhuo? What happened?"
Just as Dean Gao was about to explain, the person he sent to seek an audience with Xiahou Zhuo's father came running back in a hurry, saying with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Dean, I went to the Prince's Mansion to report the news, and the person in charge said that Prince Yu had just left Jizhou yesterday and returned to the capital by order."
Dean Gao's eyes suddenly widened: "It's bad!"
At the same time, Jizhou Prefecture Yamen.
Prince Yu's son Yang Zhuo opened the wooden box in front of him, took out a shining oriental pearl as big as an egg and handed it to the governor Lian Gongming. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."
Lian Gongming said: "Your Highness, I know nothing."
Yang Zhuo smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the governor knows nothing. No matter if my father comes back to ask, or the governor asks, the governor knows nothing."
Lian Gongming took the Dongzhu and looked at it. His eyes lit up, as if the light of the Dongzhu had directly entered his eyes. He looked at it for a long time and smiled, "Your Highness really knows how to seize opportunities... Get rid of Xiahou Zhuo while the prince is in the capital, and you won't have to worry about him."
"Opportunities..."
Yang Zhuo smiled proudly and said, "You still have to create it yourself."
Lian Gongming suddenly realized something and his face turned pale: "Your Highness, could it be you?"
Yang Zhuo shrugged and said, "Sir, what are you talking about? I don't know anything."
