Chapter 1249 Oh, what are you doing?

Although there is a scholar in the family, Zhu Qi spends most of his time in the town and will not gossip too much about the town's affairs with them when he returns home.

To be honest, if Zhu Qi hadn't ended up next year, they wouldn't have been able to remember this matter for a while.

However, Zhu San was different. He stayed with Zhu Qi in the book school every day. The people he interacted with the most were scholars, and the people he thought about the most were also scholars.

He knows much more about scholars than Zhu Da and Zhu Wu.

"That's Mr. Cen," Zhu San said. "Have you forgotten that Mr. Cen is a scholar? Scholars don't have to kneel down when they see the magistrate, and the government can't use punishment on them casually..."

"So?" For a moment, Zhu Wu didn't react.

"So the status of a scholar is higher than that of ordinary people. Even if Magistrate Dai doesn't give Mr. Cen any face, he must take into account the relationship between our family and Mr. Cen, right?" Zhu San said, "There are government officials below to help keep an eye on it.

Well, the county magistrate above doesn’t dare to take action casually, so won’t that mother’s safety be guaranteed?”

Zhu Da and Zhu Wu suddenly realized: Yes, how could they forget such an important thing?!

Mr. Cen is a scholar. Who dares not to show respect to a scholar?

Although the idea was good, Zhu Da and Zhu Wu were embarrassed and did not dare to go to Mr. Cen.

In their words: "He is a scholar, and we are just a bunch of idiots. How dare we stand in front of him?"

"Third brother, you better go. I'm afraid I'll tremble as soon as I go, and I won't even be able to speak smoothly."

"Well, third brother, you go ahead! We believe in you!"



Looking at these two cowardly brothers, Zhu San was speechless: "Mr. Cen is not a tiger, can he still eat you?"

"This is different, third brother, you see Mr. Cen every day, so you don't feel much, but we can't..." Zhu Wu waved his hand, "When we got in front of him, we were really speechless."

Although they usually think that they are quite powerful, when they are in front of other scholars, especially those with fame, they first feel guilty.

If it were the intellectuals in the village, they would just "respect" them, and nothing would happen.

But Mr. Cen is different, he is Zhu Qi’s husband.

Every time Zhu Qi came back, he would memorize and copy the books in the morning, noon and night, so that he could learn from them.

You can tell at a glance - if the husband hadn't been so strict, would Lao Qi have worked so hard?

Even Dabao and Erbao, who did not claim to be students but had the reality of being students, also curbed their former naughtiness and willfulness in just a few months and became hard-working.

No matter how they look at this method of training people, they all think that this gentleman is not ordinary!

Mr. Cen: “…”

Although it is not strange for parents of students to be afraid of themselves, why does he feel like he doesn't know what to say every time he hears it?

Out of respect for his husband, Zhu San did not hide much and said everything that needed to be said.

After hearing Zhu San's request, Mr. Cen pondered for a while.

He was a little surprised at how frank the Zhu family was with him. They even told them about their plan to "take advantage of the scheme" when they encountered Xingyi Gambling House, which showed their trust.

As a scholar, Mr. Cen was not willing to betray the trust of the Zhu family: "Okay, then I'll take a trip."

This bet was a "big gamble" for the Zhu family.

If we win, no one will be interested in the Zhu family in a short period of time, and the Zhu family will be able to develop steadily, providing a better learning environment for Zhu Qi, Dabao, and Erbao.

This is also a win-win situation for Mr. Cen.

As long as Zhu Qi, Dabao and Erbao are outstanding enough, then his Cen Academy will be able to make a name for itself and become a true "Orchid Academy".

If he loses, he will not only lose the Zhu family, he will also lose three particularly outstanding students.

Therefore, for Mr. Cen, this battle is inevitable.

Zhu San didn't know how Mr. Cen would handle this matter, but after receiving the other party's "promise", his heart dropped.

Because he knows that scholars are all famous people, and they also attach great importance to their own promises.

As long as the other party agrees, there is rarely any "regret".

Unless, this is a "fake scholar"!

After receiving Zhu San's nod, Zhu Da and Zhu Wu, who were waiting for the news, also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Third Brother."

"We are all brothers, why are you thanking me? Besides, this is my mother's business. As a son, I should also contribute." Zhu San laughed a little.

Don't they feel that they have stayed in the town for too long, have less time to get along with each other, and are starting to become unfamiliar?

The next step is to go find Mr. Sun according to the original plan.

Before going, Brother Bao took out a piece of news from the mouth of the man Zhu Da and Zhu Wu threw at him, that is - he was sent by Shopkeeper Tang to break off an arm of the Zhu family.

At this time, the Zhu family brothers had to rejoice again: Fortunately, God was on their side and allowed them to "bump into" them!

One or two of the people sent out lost their "news", and Shopkeeper Tang, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly felt a bad feeling.

Even if the person who attacked Zhu Qi "missed", why is there no news about his number one thug, One-Eyed Long Jiangsu?

"What's going on? Where is the person you asked to pick up?"

On the opposite side, the servant who headed the head shrank his neck: "No... no one..."

"How come there's no one?"

No one could answer. Anyway, they accepted the order and waited on the only road outside Anjiu Town. They waited all morning but did not see the figure of the one-eyed dragon Jiangsu.

They are no different than others. They are popular people in front of Shopkeeper Tang. How can they dare to be careless?

But what can they do if no one is waiting?

Shopkeeper Tang felt a lump in his heart and felt extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, the housekeeper ran in and reported: "Master, someone from the government is here."

"The government will come as soon as they come. Can you please come in?" Shopkeeper Tang guessed that it was Qian Xin and Zhao Lian's business.

He asked Zhao Lian to report the case to the government as Qian Xin's "brother". The government would definitely come to investigate with him and determine the facts.

What he needs to do is to "confirm" the relationship between Zhao Lian and Qian Xin.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the lobby, the leading yamen officer made his purpose clear: "Shopkeeper Tang, I'm sorry to trouble you. We are following the order of the county magistrate and want to ask you if you know a man named Zhao Lian."

"Zhao Lian? Well, I have an impression of this. He does come to our Xingyi Gambling House often." Shopkeeper Tang said, "What's wrong? You suddenly came to our door. Could it be that he committed something and was arrested? Right?

Is there any misunderstanding? I feel that Zhao Lian is not this kind of person."

He also said a few words to Zhao Lian, saying that although this guy looked a little unreliable, he was actually very loyal. Zhao Lian was willing to help anyone who had any difficulties.

"Who does he usually have a better relationship with?" Shopkeeper Tang pretended not to remember, and turned to ask the housekeeper.

The butler reminded: "Master, this is Qian Xin."

"Yes, yes, that's Qian Xin," Shopkeeper Tang said with certainty, "The two of them have a very good relationship. They usually go in and out of our Xingyi Gambling House together. Last time Qian Xin lost consecutively with us.

The bottoms of his pants are gone, and Zhao Lian redeemed them for him... If you want to inquire about Zhao Lian, just ask Qian Xin directly, there will be no problem."
