The coursework in the academy is actually not that hard. These people start studying much earlier than children from ordinary families, so they don’t need any further enlightenment when they enter school.
The knowledge learned in the academy is not all from books. The fact that debate and questioning are placed on the same level as reading in the three major subjects of the academy is enough to explain some problems.
Some people say that the academy does this to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, using debate and questioning to examine a student's aptitude and knowledge, and then teaching them based on their individual needs.
Some people also say that the teaching time at the academy is shorter than that at a private school because famous teachers from all over Jizhou gather here, and what famous teachers teach is naturally different from what ordinary people teach.
In fact, neither is true. The academic workload in the academy is not heavy, and students are encouraged to debate and ask questions instead of just reading books blindly. This is simply because these students come from good backgrounds.
It's that simple. The person who sets the questions for the imperial examination is familiar with Dean Gao. Dean Gao interacts with his friends every year. These students are either rich or noble... After considering all these conditions, if you still insist that the academy has the highest teaching quality... you are probably a stooge.
But it is undeniable that the teaching quality of the academy is indeed very strong, but not as strong as the people think. The people think that even their own children will be successful as long as they have the money to send them to the academy. How ridiculous is this idea?
It is not certain that he will be successful, but it will not be a big problem for him to become a decent person in the future. Otherwise, Li Diudiu's master would not have endured ten years of hard work to send Li Diudiu to the academy.
A month passed quickly and it was time for another monthly exam.
As usual, there will be a day off after the monthly exam, plus a ten-day holiday, so the students will have two consecutive days off.
After Liu Shengying came out of the classroom, she couldn't help but ask Li Diudiu, "How did you do on the exam?"
Li Diudiu shrugged his shoulders: "You know I'm just like that. There are not many people better than me anyway."
Liu Shengying: “Uh…”
What he lacks is the confidence and shamelessness of Li Diudiu.
Liu Shengying asked cautiously: "Where are you going tomorrow? I want to invite you to my home."
Li Diudiu shook his head and said, "No, no."
Liu Shengying suddenly became disappointed: "Do you have something important to do?"
Li Diudiu shook his head again: "If I go to your house, I have to bring some gifts. I'm very short of money, so I'd better not go."
Liu Shengying: "No need to bring gifts!"
Li Diudiu: "That will make your parents think that the friends you make are not decent. Believe me, I still have to make money. Since school started, I only go to Yunzhai Teahouse for an hour every day, and my income has obviously dropped a lot."
Liu Shengying asked: "Is it much different?"
Li Diudiu said: "Well, on average, the difference is more than ten cents."
Liu Shengying: “…”
Li Diudiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should go home first. I still have to go teach Miss Gao martial arts. See you in two days."
Liu Shengying hummed and said, "Then I'll see you in two days."
His face looked a little unhappy. He didn't expect Li Chi to refuse so directly. He didn't feel humiliated, but disappointed.
"Hello."
Li Diudiu shouted behind him.
Liu Shengying turned around immediately and asked: "Have you changed your mind?"
Li Diudiu handed Liu Shengying a lollipop: "When have I ever changed my mind so easily? This is for you. It's so sweet."
Liu Shengying took the lollipop and finally a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Li Diudiu went to the grove to wait for Gao Xining as usual, but he hadn't seen Gao Xining for a whole month since he went to school in Da Ke. Her grandfather must have been very strict.
But Li Diudiu did not leave. He sat down in the grove and silently recalled what he had learned today. He waited for an hour, but Gao Xining still did not show up. Li Diudiu let out a long sigh.
When he got to the cafeteria, he still had time to eat some food. After wolfing down the meal, Li Diudiu returned to his residence and changed his clothes. There was no one living with him, even though he lived in a multi-person room.
However, no one has lived with him since he entered the school. The first reason is that most of the students in the academy do not live in the academy, and the second reason is that they feel that Li Diudiu is not the same kind of person as them.
Night fell quickly, and Li Diudiu took out the nightgown he had made by himself. He hadn't worn it for a long time, and the clothes had become too small. He looked down at his trousers, thinking that nightgowns with cropped pants should be relatively rare.
After putting it on, he felt a little guilty, thinking that he had brought shame to the profession of wearing night clothes.
He found the mask again, put it on and looked at himself in the bronze mirror. He thought to himself that even through such an ugly mask he felt very handsome. It was really... If he underestimated himself, he would be struck by lightning.
So he never dared to say that he was not handsome because he was afraid of death.
Master also taught me that if a person is perfect and you insist that he is not perfect, that is slander, and there will be retribution for slandering others.
Li Diudiu thought that there would be retribution for slandering others, but slandering himself was not as serious as being struck by five thunders. It might be six, seven, or even eight thunders. If he was hit by ten thunders, he would probably be burned out.
Overcome your fear of the dark.
Li Diudiu took a deep breath, put on a mask, and then jumped out of the back window. He certainly didn't go looking for trouble with Wang Heita. That was someone he would never kill, even though Wang Heita couldn't be said to be a good person.
Li Diudiu thought that since the portrait was in his hands, he had accepted the job. As long as he did not take any action, the Qingyi formation would not send anyone else to deal with Wang Heita for the time being.
What if that big fool suddenly realizes it one day and leaves? After all, Li Diudiu is unwilling to touch upon something like killing.
But what Ruan Chen and the others said that day gave Li Diudiu some inspiration... If he could catch a thief at night and keep one-fifth of the stolen goods, if he encountered a big thief, wouldn't that be a huge fortune for him?
Li Diudiu has only saved about fifty taels of silver in the past month. Recently, the housing prices in Jizhou City have risen slightly. Those rich and powerful people who came from other places really don't take money seriously. As the rebels outside the city become more and more rampant, more people come to Jizhou City. Refugees cannot come in, but those rich people can.
They spent money without any consideration when buying houses and land. Li Diudiu thought that these scums who drove up prices should be given a full compensation.
After coming out from the back window, he walked along the path in the academy, close to the shadows of the trees. If someone saw him like this, he would definitely be expelled from the academy.
He reached the other side of the courtyard wall, looked around and saw no one, then jumped onto the top of the wall and landed lightly outside the wall. He was somewhat satisfied with his hard training during this period of time.
When he turned around, he saw three or four men in patrol uniforms looking at him in astonishment. The man in the front turned pale when Li Diudiu turned around.
In the dark night, Li Diudiu stood there awkwardly. His dark face, big white teeth, and rolling eyes scared the police officers so much that they dared not move or speak.
Li Diudiu was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Your life span is not over yet, why are you trying to stop me? Are you seeking death?"
"Yang Shou..."
The patrolman standing in the front stammered, "Who... who are you?"
Li Diudiu said seriously: "I am here to claim your life. Since we meet, it is predestined. Why don't I take you back first?"
After saying that, he pulled out a rope from his sleeve. This was the tool he used to climb the wooden building. Things he would always bring with him when he went out: a rope, a dagger, medicine, and a small bag of soil.
As he shook his wrist, the rope obediently formed a circle in the air and wrapped around the neck of one of the patrolmen. The patrolman screamed in fear and grabbed the rope with both hands to try to untie it. The other people didn't care whether Li Diudiu was a human or a ghost. In short, he was not worth their life, so they turned around and ran away.
That is to say, the clouds covered the moon tonight, so you couldn’t see Li Diudiu’s clothes. You could only see his two rows of white teeth floating in the air.
Li Diudiu said as he let go, "I'm not interested in catching just one person. I have three or four hundred people to kill tonight. Your colleagues have already escaped. Catching you alone won't be enough to report to my superiors. You should get out of here too. I'll go catch those three or four hundred dead souls."
The policeman immediately crawled and ran away, with dots of something spilling down his pants as he ran.
Li Diudiu watched the man run away and then turned around with a smile. As he turned around, he saw someone standing behind him. When he turned around and saw the person, he immediately screamed in fright, and the man also trembled in fear.
Li Diudiu looked for a while before recognizing that the man was Ye Zhangzhu.
He recognized him, but Ye Zhangzhu didn't recognize him. He shuddered with fear and slapped Li Diudiu in the face. Li Diudiu immediately stepped back and called out "It's our people."
Ye Zhangzhu replied: "Who are you cursing?"
Li Diudiu didn't react at first, but later he realized that what Ye Zhangzhu meant by "his own people" was that he should be a ghost.
"Li Chi, Li Chi!"
Li Diudiu said his name twice before Ye Zhangzhu's continuous attack like a rainstorm stopped. He looked him up and down for a long time, then raised his hand and took off Li Chi's mask.
"What are you going to do!"
"I...want to rob the rich and help them."
Ye Zhangzhu thought about it and realized that this was just robbery.
“Good things are not learned.”
Ye Zhangzhu glared at Li Diudiu and said, "Don't go out tonight. Something big happened tonight. Just go back home. I just came back and saw something floating here."
Only then did Li Diudiu notice that there seemed to be something wrong with Ye Zhangzhu's green shirt. There was a cut on the clothes, and blood seemed to be faintly visible.
"Are you okay, Mr. Ye?"
Li Diudiu asked quickly.
"It's okay. Wang Heita's men went crazy. For some reason, the people from Changxing Casino suddenly came out in droves and killed dozens of our brothers in one go. The four formation gates came after hearing the news and suppressed Wang Heita's men."
Li Diudiu suddenly became nervous when he heard these words.
"Why would he suddenly take the initiative to attack the Qingyi formation?"
"He is not attacking the Qingyi Liezhen, but all the businesses that Lian Gongming is doing secretly. You may not know that some of these businesses are under the control of the Qingyi Liezhen."
Ye Zhangzhu sighed and said sadly, "That man was stabbed at least 20 times, but he didn't fall down. Before he died, he shouted to the sky... I've repaid the favor, and we don't owe each other anything!"
Li Diudiu's heart suddenly tightened.
The man who was as strong as an iron tower finally left.
