"It's you again." Cao Min saw Su Jin standing there with steaming hot soup at a glance, and he didn't get angry at all for the first two days of school. This person made a fuss several times before getting three pieces of bread as a gift, and then he plausibly taught himself how to do it.
After losing face in front of the main courtyard, he was so frightened at night that his roommate shouted that there was a ghost, which made Xue reluctant to leave the peace. This time, he was the one causing trouble in the restaurant. Cao Min thought that this person was a fake and refused to give him any good looks.
It seems like he doesn't know how high the sky is.
"Hello, Mr. Cao." Su Jin put down the wooden spoon and saluted.
"Where are you making such a fuss? Are you suffering from the nocturnal syndrome in broad daylight?" Cao Min said calmly.
"Reporting to Mr. Cao, the student is not suffering from night wandering syndrome, but is seeking justice for himself."
"Oh? Why is this unfair? Tell me." Cao Min's black eyebrows twitched and her eyes stared at Su Jindao.
"Master Cao, I would like to ask if there are any family background restrictions for scholars in Yingtianfu Academy."
"Hmm... should I answer this question for you as an official? Doesn't it mean that you are not a relative of the emperor nor a descendant of an official, but you can be in this academy?"
Su Jin smiled slightly and said: "Master Cao means that all students in our academy are treated equally. The students are surprised why the food is different. If you are not slapping yourself, how can you say you are treating everyone equally?"
Cao Min burst out laughing. When the laughter stopped, his tone became gloomy and he said: "Su Jin, I see you are not old yet and you have a lot of things to do. This academy is an official school and will be upgraded to an Imperial Academy within three years. At that time, you will be the son of an official."
The scholars who have priority to enter the civilian status can't even touch the door. You are just in time. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to stand here and talk to me. You are still grateful and have to fight for you with your ridiculous non-discrimination.
It's not that delicious to eat what you're given."
When Su Jin heard that what he said was wrong, he actually had a way of suppressing the big and the small. Instead of giving a direct solution, he tried his best to ridicule and insult him. He immediately became angry and said: "Master Cao's words really have a **** status. Yingtian Academy is an official school."
What does a government school have to do with us? Even if it becomes a government school tomorrow, it is still a matter of the government. If it is not changed, we must adhere to the principle of treating everyone equally and follow what the Lord says. Why should we allow ordinary people like us to enroll in the school? "
Cao Min said: "Is it necessary for me to tell you the whole story in detail? I heard that you hurt someone and I came here to settle the score with you, not to listen to your nagging."
Su Jindao: "I can guess the whole story even if I don't tell you, it's nothing more than shady things."
Cao Min's expression changed drastically and he pointed at Su Jin and said: "Young people should be more careful when speaking. If you speak carelessly, I will cause trouble. I won't blame you for talking too much. After all, you are young and have experience and experience. You can use hot soup now."
I think it would be best for you to apologize to the two classmates who were injured by the scald attack and ask Doctor Yan to help them treat them."
Su Jin said with a smile: "The student didn't say anything. Mr. Cao didn't want to teach the students a lesson. As for the apology to those two people, it's absolutely wrong. They were trying to do something evil before. I, a weak scholar, had no choice but to defend myself, but I asked him."
It makes sense to apologize to them."
Cao Min's good temper and patience finally ran out and he sneered: "Then don't blame the official for not showing mercy to you today. You openly caused trouble in my college and burned two people. How can the college keep you? This lecturer hereby gives an order.
I will expel you from Yingtian Academy. If you want to make trouble, go outside and make trouble. How can the Holy Land of the Academy tolerate such a rebellious person like you?"
Su Jin said without any sign of weakness: "I knew it would be like this. I don't care about staying in this Bird Academy, where there is no distinction between black and white. I don't want to stay there for a moment. I will definitely stay here after I leave the academy." I will make everything in Yingtian Academy public to the public. I have a teacher-student relationship with Mr. Duanzhou Bao and he is the first person to tell it. I also have several encounters with Mr. Yan in Chaozhong. I will also repair the book and tell the whole story to see what happens. Is there anyone who can take care of this academy matter?"
Cao Min was stunned and said suspiciously: "You mean Mr. Yan Shuyan and Mr. Bao Zheng and Bao? What are you doing with your nonsense? How do you know them?"
Su Jin secretly laughed inwardly. This method of using a tiger skin to make a banner was indeed effective in the officialdom. As expected, the first level of officialdom is the most powerful one. As soon as he heard someone higher than him, he immediately softened his tone.
"How do you know it? You don't have to report it to Mr. Cao. If you don't believe it, you can check the admission official to see if the person who vouched for me is Mr. Bao. If you don't speculate, I have nothing to say since I was expelled from the academy by you. Now I'll say goodbye." Su Jingong raised his hands and pushed his way out of the crowd.
Cao Min hurriedly said: "Wait a minute!"
Su Jin stopped and turned around: "What are your orders, sir?"
Cao Min twirled his beard, and his mind couldn't help but wonder whether what Su Jin said was true or false. The two people Su Jin mentioned were really vague. Cao Min was really a little vague. Bao Zheng was a notoriously ruthless man. Although he had a small official position, he was However, the reputation of being nosy was spread throughout the Song Dynasty. Su Jin's guarantor included Bao Zheng. This could not be true, because if he turned around and found out, Su Jin would not lie about this matter no matter how stupid he was.
But just knowing that Bao Zheng knew was not enough to scare Cao Min back. Although Bao Zheng is currently the prefect, Cao Min is a lecturer directly under the Ministry of Rites. Although he is only an official from the fifth rank, he is also an official from the capital. Even if he is an official from other places, he is always polite when meeting him. It is very simple. The relationship between the officials under the emperor is complicated and tangled. I am afraid he is just a mouse. You can't kill it because this mouse will most likely attract a man-eating insect.
What Cao Min is worried about is that the other person over there is Mr. Yan, the Third Chief of Staff who Su Jin said. Although he has some doubts that Su Jin is bragging, it is still another matter to believe whether he can believe it or not; besides, the mountain chief has been a few years ago. He said that he had already compiled a letter and asked Master Yan to come to the academy to give lectures. Due to the relationship between Master Qi and Master Yan, this matter will definitely come true. If what Su Jin said is true, the day Master Yan comes will be the day when Cao Min loses his black veil. Son.
What Cao Min was even more worried about was that Su Jin threatened to repair the book and informed Yan Shu about the affairs of the academy. He knew that Cao Min had made a lot of money in the academy, not only the students' twice-a-year repair money, but also a much larger amount. It was the money allocated by the imperial court to the academy every year. This amount was originally used for the daily expenses of the academy, but Cao Min racked his brains to withhold it. In order to prevent others from seeing it, he thought of many ideas and tried his best to cover it up.
For example, the court regulations for this student's food are that each person has a meal of ten guan per day. The food expenses for hundreds of people are gathered together, and the money is nearly 60 guan per day, which is enough for the students to eat fish, shrimp and meat soup; but In order to retain the money, Cao Min directly cut the money in half, so that the food money was naturally insufficient. So Cao Min came up with such a bad idea to let the officials' children enjoy ten meals while the other nearly 70% were poor or ordinary scholars. I can only eat pickles with pieces of meat as thin as paper rotten and filled with maggots.
Cao Min has a good understanding of people's hearts. He knows that the food of the officials' children must not be deducted. If any official who cannot be offended gets violent, he will suffer. On the other hand, the common people will not dare to complain when they eat free meals.
Cao Min was not afraid to complain, so he created this situation of eating in separate halls.
The officials' children naturally didn't bother to think about these unfair things, because in their view, this was a manifestation of their sense of superiority and satisfied their inner vanity. However, as Cao Min expected, the poor family members dared to be angry but dared not speak out about their families.
On the contrary, the poor people are grateful for the free food. They live in peace and harmony without any trouble for more than a year. If Su Jin doesn't cause trouble today, I'm afraid no one will ever come forward in this matter.
After much thought, Cao Min couldn't take any risks. It was better to hold Su Jin steady first, and wait for Master Yan Shu to give a lecture. He would then insinuate himself to find out if the relationship between the two was really related. When he saw Su Jin, he would be careful if Su Jin lied. Hehe, he would have suffered.
After making up his mind, Cao Min immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "How about you stop taking a step to talk?"
Su Jin said: "What can't be made public? I'm still hungry. I'm not allowed to eat fish and meat, but I don't like eating those maggots and flies, so I have to respond quickly to Tianfu and find a restaurant to spend some money to fill my stomach."
Cao Min looked embarrassed and secretly scolded Su Jin for not being polite, but he had no choice but to sneak into Su Jin's side and whisper a few words in Su Jin's ear in an inaudible voice.
Su Jin frowned. After hearing what Cao Min said, he turned to look at Cao Min and suddenly burst into laughter. All the students were shocked when they saw Su Jin's unrestrained look. They were even more shocked by the old students who had been studying in the academy for a long time.
I have never seen a student dare to be so dissolute and not take Cao Min seriously.dd
