The two masters Fan and Liu proved Qin Zhong's identity, and the whole academy was in an uproar.
The detectives were also shocked. They never expected that the young man they suspected was actually the disciple of the two masters. They were at a loss. Several of them looked at each other with a somewhat embarrassed expression. In the end, it was the leading detective.
, bowed respectfully, clasped his fists and said, "It's my duty to offend you."
After that, he waved at the policemen, turned around and walked out the door.
"Wait a minute." Qin Zhong stepped forward and stopped the leading policeman.
The leading catcher was young and looked to be in his twenties. He was about the same height as Qin Zhong. Especially his eyes, which were like hooks and could pull off a piece of flesh with just one glance. He was stopped at this moment.
The anger between his eyebrows suddenly condensed, and then slowly dissipated, but it did not break out after all.
"May I ask if you have any advice?" the man asked coldly.
"Did you just want to kill me?" Qin Chong stared at him, his eyes equally cold.
"How can we kill people at will if the state has laws?"
"Haha, you can't kill people arbitrarily." Qin Zhong sneered, and then said, "That means you can kill people as long as you don't do it arbitrarily. Am I right?" After saying that, he raised his chin provocatively.
"Don't misinterpret it."
"Then let me ask you." Qin Zhong looked solemn and said, "You suspect that I am a Langshan bandit, do you need evidence?"
"You?" The chief of the police was furious, but had no words to reply.
"If you take me back to the Yamen, do you need an official arrest warrant?"
"Humph." The leader's face turned pale.
"If I accuse you of abusing your power and arresting students without permission, will you be convinced?"
"You?" The leader suddenly trembled, as if someone had poured a ladle of cold water over his head in the cold winter. In an instant, his mind lost control, and the slightest bit of cold air went straight to his heart. His livid face suddenly turned pale.
Several police officers around him were also frightened by Qin Zhong's words and were stunned for a moment and dared not speak.
Qin Chong's accusations are extremely serious, but they are also true.
Once the matter is brought to court, the life of this detective will be over. The crime of abuse of power can make him take off his official uniform and go to jail; arresting students without authorization is a violation of the bottom line of civil servants.
The royal family treats scholars well, and scholars protect scholars even more.
One can imagine what would happen to an incompetent police officer?
"We were blind and bumped into Mr. Qin. Let's apologize. Let's apologize." Several police officers on the side reacted first and quickly bowed and saluted. "Please forgive me, Mr. Qin."
The situation here has suddenly changed, and all the students have been dumbfounded. They can't believe that the man in front of them, who speaks like a knife, is actually Qin Chong, who was once clumsy and tongue-tied. Just now, these wolves and tigers hunted each other.
Quickly, they lost face and dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Who knew that the next moment, Qin Zhong vented his anger for them.
"What did you say?" Qin Zhong looked solemn and unmoved.
"This?" The leader of the policemen took a deep breath, his face turning green and red.
Forced by the situation, he had to bow his head. To be honest, he could feel regret in his intestines at this moment. He deeply regretted that he had lost his temper in the academy on impulse. The most important thing was that someone had taken advantage of him. Qin Zhongruo really
He filed a complaint in court, and hundreds of people from the academy testified, which was enough for him to defend himself without defence.
"I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Mr. Qin." The leader clasped his fists and admitted his mistake.
"Kneel down." Qin Zhong's eyes were cold and stern.
"You can't go too far." The leader immediately became angry and his face turned red.
"Don't want to?" Qin Zhong said with a joking smile, "If you don't want to, just leave."
"You?" The leader of the police was at a loss for words. He knelt down and refused to kneel down. He didn't dare to walk away. He didn't know what to do.
There was silence in the academy for a moment, and all the students looked at each other in confusion. The eyes they looked at Qin Zhong had also changed greatly from before. His words were sharp, his methods ruthless, and he was unreasonable. No one had ever seen Qin Zhong like this.
I have been there before. However, Qin Zhong is even more fearful than Qin Zhong who is always shaking his fists.
"Let's go." Qin Chong smiled coldly, waved his hand nonchalantly, and turned around to walk towards Master Fan.
"Plop." There was a muffled sound, and the police chief fell to his knees.
"I made a mistake, please forgive me, Mr. Qin."
"Let's go." Qin Zhong waved his hand and walked to Master Fan without looking back.
"I've met you, sir." Qin Zhong straightened his clothes and bowed in salute.
"Yes." Master Fan nodded and looked up at the group of detectives.
After receiving Qin Zhong's reply, the group of policemen hurriedly helped up the kneeling leader, saluted again, and then turned around and left in a hurry. It was a world of difference from the majestic and domineering appearance when they came. Suddenly, more than a hundred students in the square suddenly
He cheered loudly and was in high spirits, as if he had won a battle.
"When you conduct yourself in the world, you should be upright, modest and courteous." Master Fan withdrew his gaze, fell on Qin Zhong again, and taught him a lesson in a deep voice, "It is not the behavior of a gentleman to be aggressive."
"Sir, I will take your teachings to heart." Qin Zhong responded quickly.
"Subordinate officials do great harm to the people, and they deserve to be killed regardless of their intentions." Master Liu was a man of integrity, and he especially hated the harm caused by subordinate officials. How could he have a good look? What Qin Chong did was in line with his temper.
The harm caused by subordinate officials harms officials, harms the people, and harms the law. It is nothing more than a cancer.
The Song Dynasty court stipulated that state and county officials serve a term of three years, and they will be transferred after the expiration of the term. The subordinate officials are all locals and have served in the local area for a long time. They are well aware of local affairs and laws, and their influence is intricate. When new officials take office, they will look at each other with both eyes.
To discredit, we can only rely on these subordinate officials to manage the place.
Therefore, yamen affairs are basically controlled by subordinate staff. On the one hand, they are accustomed to using techniques such as deception, deception, fraud, and collusion to selectively perform the tasks of superior officials. On the other hand, they are proficient in administrative details and operational procedures, so they can deceive them.
Obstructing, misleading, and even coercing superiors who are more prestigious than themselves.
Subordinate officials are in charge of important tasks such as rural reform, land surveying, household registration, and tax payment. They deceive superiors and conceal subordinates, practice favoritism, engage in corruption, accept bribes, and oppress the people. This is the normal behavior of subordinate officials.
Of course, Qin Chong didn't have so many thoughts. He was just simply unhappy. If someone had the intention to kill him, he would naturally want to retaliate. However, Qin Chong was very strange. He had no interaction with the group of arrests just now.
Not to mention hatred, why were you so murderous when they first met?
However, Qin Chong also knew that there was no hatred before, but now there is.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and Qin Zhong followed Fan and Liu along the gravel path towards the depths of the academy. The academy occupies a large area and has an elegant environment. There are big trees hugging each other everywhere.
It can be seen that the academy is divided into two parts, the front and back. The front part is where students study. The back part is where the library and the master's residence are.
The academy is not an official school, so it lacks many functions and institutions.
As he was walking, he unexpectedly bumped into someone. When this person saw Qin Zhong, his eyebrows suddenly stood up.
It was the middle-aged scribe who had encountered him twice.
"Qin Chong, why are you here?" The scribe lost his composure and his tone was three points higher.
Seeing this middle-aged scribe, Qin Zhong was a little surprised, and soon showed a joking smile. This scribe encountered Qin Zhong twice, and once he was ridiculed by Qin Zhong with the sentence "Only recognize the clothes but not the person". The other time,
He even almost beat him up. At that time, he said "Did you ever get the first place?" which made him feel ashamed.
"Duan Ping also recognizes Qin Chong?" Master Liu asked.
"I've seen him twice." Duan Ping, whose surname was Chen Mingzhen, had been teaching in the academy for only ten days. At this time, he had already noticed Fan and Liu beside him, which made him calm down a little.
"Qin Chong." Master Fan called, "You haven't seen Mr. Chen Zhen yet?"
"I have met Mr. Chen." Qin Zhong was reluctant, but had no choice but to bow and salute.
Chen Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qin Zhong carefully, not rashly getting angry. Being able to be taken by Fan and Liu by his side, speaking in a casual tone, like his own disciples, must have a lot of connections.
"Brother Fan, Brother Liu." Chen Xun greeted Fan and Liu. He glanced at him and asked, "What is this?"
"Haha, the bad guy Qin Chong is not good enough yet. Master Chen can give me some advice." Master Fan said with a smile on his face, stroking his beard with a rather proud look on his face.
"Humph." Master Liu was unhappy and said with a curl of his lips, "I am not your apprentice alone."
"Haha, yes, yes, he is also Yu Kun's apprentice." Master Fan suddenly laughed.
Chen Xun was startled, and he quickly echoed with a smile, "Congratulations to both of you, congratulations to both of you." As he said this, he glanced at Qin Zhong in a very subtle way, with deep resentment hidden in his cold eyes.
In such a situation, Chen Cunru never expected it, so he couldn't help it.
After chatting a few words, a few people passed by.
Qin Zhong and Chen Zhen's eyes met, and they smiled coldly, understanding each other tacitly.
"How do you know Master Chen?" Master Fan asked.
"Ah? I wrote a little poem and asked Master Chen to give me some advice." Qin Chong was in a hurry and didn't know how to explain it, so he told the truth. After that, he secretly looked at the faces of the two masters.
"Oh? Come and listen."
"What about this? The writing is crude, so don't offend sir's ears."
"Come and chant."
"Okay." Qin Zhong had no choice but to chant, "A needle is hammered a thousand times, and the cloth is moved up and down. The eyes are on the buttocks, and it only recognizes clothes and not people."
"Hahaha." Master Liu laughed loudly.
"So it's you, it's you." Master Fan nodded at Qin Chong and smiled.
This poem has long been circulated in the academy and has become a big laughing stock among Chen Zhen. However, no one has ever known who the author of this poem is. Who would have expected that today, by such a coincidence, the source has been found inexplicably.
"Sir, have you heard of this poem?" Qin Zhong was a little confused.
"We're not the only ones who have heard of it? No one in the academy knows about it."
"Ah?" Are you so famous? Qin Zhong was a little distracted.
"You have offended Chen Chen severely. Please be careful in the future." Master Liu warned.
"Disciple understands." Master did not blame him, which made Qin Zhong let out a sigh of relief.
The three of them walked forward slowly. In front of them was a rockery with a unique shape. A clear spring flowed down from the rockery, slowly flowing into a ditch and submerging into the woods. After turning around the rockery, it was Fan Fuzi's residence. An elegant and secluded small house.
The courtyard is fenced and fenced, and there are many flowers and trees planted there. The breeze blows gently and the flowers smell pleasant.
Suddenly, Qin Zhong stopped, looked at the rockery, and twitched his nose vigorously. A very faint scent of powder made Qin Zhong suspicious. There had never been a woman in the academy, so where did the fragrance of powder come from?
"Who is it? Come out." Qin Zhong took two steps forward and shouted.
On the rockery, there was only the sound of spring water flowing, and there was no other movement. Fan and Liu frowned and looked at the rockery, but did not make a sound. After waiting for a while, there was no response from behind the rockery.
"If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being rude." Qin Zhong slowly approached the rockery. The fragrance of the powder was stronger, and he became more and more sure that there was someone hiding behind it. He turned around and said, "Two gentlemen, please go back to the house first."
At this moment, a person jumped out from behind the rockery. He was dressed in black and had a strong figure. He ran straight towards the woods not far away. Qin Zhong took a quick look and knew it was not a woman. He sneered and jumped towards the back of the rockery.
.
Sure enough, there was another person hiding behind the rockery. He was thin and exquisite, with his face covered with white gauze. Seeing Qin Zhong rushing towards him, the woman screamed and ran away. At this moment, the person who had jumped out suddenly stopped.
He stepped forward, turned around and rushed towards Qin Zhong. Obviously, he wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but Qin Zhong saw through it.
The woman was not tall, but her movements were extremely fast. She swung and moved as gracefully as a startled giant. Qin Zhong stretched out his hand to grab her, but was repeatedly avoided by the woman, and even his clothes could not be touched. At this time, another person rushed over,
Without thinking, he jumped towards Qin Zhong. Qin Zhong turned to one side to avoid his throat-locking blow.
Taking advantage of the situation, he hit the man with a heavy punch on his right rib. Unexpectedly, the man was extremely fierce and did not dodge or evade. He wanted to receive Qin Zhong's punch. Qin Zhong's fist was extremely heavy and was not easy to bear. Just listen to "
With a "bang" sound, the fist hit the man's right rib. The huge force caused his body to sway, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.
However, he took advantage of the opportunity to get closer and hugged Qin Zhong with his arms like iron hoops.
He just heard him yell, "Let's go." The blood in his mouth made him even more ferocious.
The woman's figure stagnated, and she suddenly stopped her forward momentum. A pair of beautiful eyes, faintly red, stared at Qin Zhong fiercely. Then she stopped fighting, turned around and ran into the woods, disappearing.
Seeing the woman leaving, he hugged Qin Zhong's arm tightly and slowly lost strength. He received a hard punch from Qin Zhong, and the injuries were beyond his expectation. His internal organs seemed to have shifted, and his body no longer had the strength to support him.
Qin Zhong's heart moved and he pulled open the man's collar.
Sure enough, there was a ferocious wolf head tattooed on his smooth shoulder.
