The flowering period works

Chapter 512: Master and Servant Feud

    

d, then he gestured for Ye Shan and Dong Mei to step forward, saying, "These are the Lord Hou's attendants, they know some martial arts. How about letting them help out"Since the dean and others would...Li Lao'er replied, "Alright then, go and arrest them. It would be best to separate the bookboy and the two students and question them individually, otherwise they might collude!"

The Dean immediately called his attendant and servant. Li Lao Er's eyes flickered, then he gestured for Ye Shan and Dong Mei to step forward, saying, "These are the Lord Hou's attendants, they know some martial arts. How about letting them help out"

Since the dean and others wouldn't dare speak ill of him, Ye Shan and Dong Mei, along with the dean's attendant, gathered together, making a group of four who went out the door.

To the south of the academy, near the foot of the mountain, because of the lush vegetation and some thatched huts built, it is also a favorite place for students to enjoy the shade and cool off on weekdays.

At this moment, two students were sitting in a thatched pavilion, their outer garments flung aside. They were fanning themselves vigorously, making quite a spectacle of themselves.

One complained: "Where's Mo Xiang Has this kid run off to play somewhere"

"No, he wouldn't dare. I reckon it was just because too many people bought fruit drinks, and there was a bit of a queue." Another voice chimed in, about to continue, when the headmaster's attendant led a stranger over.

The two of them hastily pulled their outer garments back on after a moment of intimate interaction.

Originally, I thought the dean's escort was just passing by, but unexpectedly, they came straight towards them.

"You are Liu Kui and Wang Sheng... the two young masters, right Please come with us. The Dean has something important to ask you personally!" The Dean's attendant spoke first, without any politeness, his face also cold.

Liu Kui and Wang Sheng subconsciously felt something was wrong, and the two quickly stood up.

Wang Sheng asked nervously, "Is there something the director needs to discuss that can't wait until tomorrow We're about to start evening class!"

The dean was about to speak again, but Ye Shan, who stood beside him, had lost his patience. He stepped forward directly and struck Wang Sheng and Liu Kui on the back of their heads with two heavy blows of his hand.

The next moment, the two of them stared with wide eyes, their faces full of disbelief, and passed out.

Ye Shan Mali pulled their socks off and stuffed them into their mouths. Then she unbuckled their pants and tied their wrists together. Bending down, she exerted herself and carried one on each shoulder, turning her head and walking back.

The Dean's long-time attendant stood there with his mouth agape, utterly surprised and speechless.

It took him a long while to react, and he hurried after her. He instinctively bent over halfway, showing the utmost respect all the way.

He's just as good with the sword as anyone, and he's so decisive in his actions...

By the time they returned to the Zhou residence, the young attendant Mo Xiang had already been brought back by Dong Mei.

Mo Xiang was only twelve or thirteen years old, thin and small, with sly eyes and a shifty look. He didn't seem like a reliable person at all.

At this moment, seeing his master being brought back, half-dead and unconscious, he began to guess at something.

His face was ashen, his eyes darting around wildly, searching for an escape.

But Mr. Cheng didn't give him a chance, he directly took two wooden plaques and waved them in front of Mo Xiang, coldly asking: "About these wooden plaques, you better be honest and explain everything. Otherwise, today you'll suffer some flesh pain, not to mention that in the end you will be sold as forced labor."

Mo Xiang's eyes flickered, and she whispered, "Master, I don't understand what you're saying..."

He tried to deny it, but Dong Mei kicked him down directly and stepped on a certain spot on his back with her toes.

Mo Xiang suddenly screamed in pain, as if countless ants were gnawing at his internal organs. It wasn't a sharp pain, but it was numb, itchy, and painful all at once, unbearable.

Winter Plum ignored his screams and said calmly, “Tell me the truth and lessen your suffering, or I'll apply more pressure with my foot. You’ll have a broken bone here, and for the rest of your life you'll only be able to lie in bed to eat, drink, defecate, and urinate.”

The Dean and several gentlemen watching, all had complex expressions.

They didn't know whether to be amazed by the woman's skill or heartbroken by the child's suffering...

Mo Xiang only endured for a few breaths before shouting, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! It was the young masters who told me to do it! He told me to find street vendors and sell the wooden signs to the Li family, best if Li Jiaren and Li Jiali took them to the exam!"

They didn't tell me anything strange about the wooden tokens. But I secretly overheard them saying that they were going to expose Li Jiaren and Li Jiali for cheating during the scholar examination, so they would never be able to study again!

Dongmei heard this and became enraged, pressing down harder with her foot. Mo Xiang screamed even louder, "Ah, please spare me! It's not my fault! I didn't listen to Young Master, so I deserve this beating. I wouldn't dare disobey him!"

Winter Plum only then put her foot down and raised her hand to lift the book boy's shirt. As expected, there were quite a few scars on his body.

Some colors are deep, some are light, clearly showing signs of frequent beating.

Dean Zhou and Mr. Peng's faces grew increasingly grim, while Wang Sheng and Liu Kui not only schemed to frame their classmates but also showed such cruelty and ruthlessness towards the young scribe in private!

A school is a place for teaching and nurturing. It's not saying that every student can be as virtuous and noble as a sage, but at least they should have basic kindness...

Obviously, Wang Sheng and Liu Kui didn't.

"Wake them up! I want to know what on earth is going on!" Dean Zhou glared, pointing at Wang Sheng and Liu Kui who had been thrown at the entrance by Ye Shan.

Everyone originally thought they would pour cold water on the two to sober them up.

As a result, Mount Yama**a stepped forward and pulled the socks out of their mouths. Then, he kicked each of them in the stomach.

Liu Kui and Wang Sheng cried out in pain, and immediately woke up.

Two people struggled to get up, only to find that their hands were tied. Looking at the cold-faced headmaster and Mr., as well as everyone from the Li family, they didn't understand anything anymore.

The game is up!

Mr. Peng had taught them for so long, but now their patience wore thin. The first one to speak up was, “Wang Sheng, Liu Kui, your book boys have confessed. You instructed them to sell the wooden plaques containing the articles to the Li family, intending to frame Li Jiaren and Li Jiali during the examination. Why would you do such a thing!”

"No, no! He's lying, we don't know anything about this at all!" Wang Sheng immediately refuted.

Liu Kui also came to his senses and shouted, "That's right, it must be someone who bribed him and framed us!"

Little book boy Mo Xiang was dumbfounded. He had only been following his master's orders, there was no reason for him to frame Li Jiaren; he and the Li family had no prior grievances.

"No, no, Master, you can't do this! It was you who sent me! You even gave me ten taels of silver. Five taels to the peddler first, and five taels after the deed is done."

"I haven't been given that much silver to do this, as you commanded!"

Mo Xiang saw Dong Mei about to raise her foot again and was terrified. She became increasingly outspoken, “You guys have badmouthed Li Jiaren behind his back, calling him a cripple.”

"You still have the aconite powder, wanting to put it in the cafeteria food, but couldn't find the opportunity. Now the aconite powder is still hidden in your boxes!"

Everyone gasped, especially Lao San Li, his eyes were red with emotion.

Fortunately, the dining hall had plenty of staff. Even though it was evening, Wu San's family and Da Zhu's family, consisting of three people, stayed in the side rooms next to the dining hall.

Otherwise, if they were truly found with the opportunity, the food would be tampered with and the students would get sick. The cafeteria's reputation would be ruined...

The Dean almost trembled as he pointed at his attendant, instructing him to fetch the two men's luggage from their dormitory.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!uld be taken back by someone in the same room.Because of limited funds, over seven hundred people were relying on food aid.So, recently the Relief Agency has been providing two meals a day. Breakfast...
