Chapter 824 Come, Pay the Money

"Is Ying Zilin not done yet? Can't he just let us have a good breakfast?" Huang Yanglong was very angry, but he took the bowl of noodles and went to the gate of Chenlou, eating while asking: "Ying Zilin, what are you going to do now? Report quickly."

This damn merchant, not only has no rules and no manners, but he even took advantage of him and made him, a son of a family of officials, report to a merchant like him. He wasn't afraid that the ancestral hall at home wouldn't be able to bear it!

"Are you mute? Report." Huang Yanglong asked while blocking the door.

Ying Zilin took a deep breath and chose not to argue with the crude merchant. He said, "The servants of the Ying family just reported to me that more than a dozen groups of students came to the outside of Wuyuan and were clamoring to see Duke Yan..."

"They have different demands. One of them is that they doubt the identity of our master and want to ask Duke Yan to torture him and punish him for impersonating Master Jing."

"Secondly, the Qin family's act of making our master a slave is an insult to the world's students and an attempt to ruin their minds. I beg Duke Yan to order the Qin family to give an explanation to the scholars in the world, otherwise the scholars will never give up."

"Your Excellency needs to find out the reason why the Qin family bought Master Taigang. Some students suspect that the Qin family already knew the identity of Master Taigang and bought him on purpose to use him to blackmail Master Jing and even Taizhou Academy."

Huang Yanglong almost dropped his chopsticks while scooping noodles in shock: "As expected of a scholar, he is good at making up stories... He has come up with such outrageous speculations. Why don't they continue to make up stories that the Qin family is actually spies from the East Desert or the West Rong, who will make great achievements and become famous just to climb to the top of the Wei Dynasty and destroy it?"

Ying Zilin: "If they really shout out that the Qin family might be spies, then they won't be able to escape unscathed and will have to go to jail."

"Now I can only make two demands that do not involve criminal law. First, I can get away with it, and second, I can use this to gain fame."

If he was not a member of the Ying family, and if he lacked fame, he might have followed suit.

Huang Yanglong was shocked: "Ying Zilin, it turns out you are not simple."

"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude." Ying Zilin was impatient.

Huang Yanglong glanced at the goalkeeper who was already looking at him unfriendly, and tactfully stepped aside.

Ying Zilin went into the main hall of Chen Tower and told him what had happened.

Master Jing was very angry and said, "Go on."

Ying Zilin continued, "Most of those who suspect our master is a fake are low-ranking students, or tongsheng. There are four leaders. Two are teachers from Baiming Academy in the capital, and they have the title of scholar; two are candidates from Taizhou Prefecture."

"They have simple backgrounds, and I guess their purpose is just to take advantage of the opportunity to gain fame."

"The group that questioned the Qin family for making our master a slave and insulting the reputation of scholars in the world, and used our master to hold you hostage, are mostly children of farming and reading families, old-school Confucian scholars. There are three leaders on the surface, one is the instructor of the prefectural school, and the other two are students of our Taizhou Academy."

"Xia Shuli, from the family of Lord Xia, the governor of Jianghuai Prefecture; Zheng Qimin, from the family of the prefect of Jinling, Jiangnan Prefecture."

“As for whether there is a leader behind the scenes and who the leaders are, we are still investigating secretly…” Ying Zilin, or the Ying family, is still very capable. They have found out so much in just a few minutes after the incident.

"They are rich people from Jianghuai and Jiangnan." Old man Xun was excited and begged Duke Yan: "Duke, you must send soldiers to protect them. Don't let these golden eggs have any accidents."

Duke of Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Xun. Deputy General Zhen has already led his troops to protect them. Eunuch An has already sent people to ask General Liang for troops and horses. They will definitely protect the students."

Duke Yan knew about this a long time ago, otherwise so many students would not be able to get close to Wuyuan.

Then he asked, "What does Master Xun plan to do?"

After hearing this, Ying Zilin and Jing Lao also looked at Old Man Xun.

Old Man Xun blinked his eyes and said, "What else can we do? Of course, we can let them make a fuss. When the fuss gets out of hand, we can come out to clarify the matter, then charge them some money and let them go."

"I am a good elder who cares for the younger generation and will not hurt them, but they hurt me... Our young boss said that since they have hurt me, they should not do those empty things like kneeling down to apologize, but just pay the money directly."

"Ha, the daughter of the Qin family is indeed a qualified businessman." Duke Yan praised.

Ying Zilin was heartbroken... His master followed the Qin family and was corrupted from a barbaric master to a person who only loved money!

No, is it possible that the so-called hermit was beautified by Old Jing, and in fact Old Man Xun was always a vulgar person who wanted to lie in a pile of money?

Old man Xun chuckled: "Duke, I still need your help with the compensation... Don't worry, it's not in vain. We'll split it 30% and 70% respectively. I only want 30%, and the remaining 70% will be used by you to set up the village martial arts hall."

Ying Zilin: “…”

The evil villain of the Qin family has really corrupted our master!

"Deal." Duke Yan agreed and gave the order to do it.

Therefore, the students inside and outside the Noon Garden were able to shout: "Please ask Duke Yan to find out for all the students in the world whether Xun Gang is the Grandmaster of Tai Gang?!"

"I beg Duke Yan to seek justice for Mr. Jing and Grandmaster Tai Gang!"

"Mr. Jing is a man whose name will go down in history. How can his master be someone's slave? We must not let the bad guys take advantage of Mr. Jing's master!"

"Please ask Duke Yan..."

They prayed until it was dark, but they were not tired at all. They lit torches, and many students even lit candles in front of them as they continued to pray.

Old man Xun quietly climbed the wall to see what was going on. Seeing the countless candles, he was so angry that he almost went crazy: "What a sin! How much money do so many candles cost? Give me the money to buy candles, and I won't have to worry about food and clothing in my next life!"

Damn it, we must make a lot of money from them, otherwise it will be unworthy of the candles they lit!

"Master, please come down quickly. The wall of Wu Garden is high, please be careful." Old man Jing stretched out his hand as if to catch him, begging bitterly.

Old Man Xun said disdainfully: “Stop talking nonsense, send someone to spread the word that I’m a fake, so that more people will come and make trouble.”

This way he can extort more people's money for apology.

Xue Mingyi: “…” Master is in very good health, he can climb up and down very smoothly.

Ying Zilin: “…” Heart attack, this master is beyond saving.

Yan Ji: “…” No wonder his uncle would protect the Qin family. The Qin family could attract a master like Old Xun, which shows that the Qin family is not simple and is lucky.

Old man Xun watched the show for more than two quarters of an hour before coming down, returning to the second floor of Chen Tower and continuing to give acupuncture to Duke Yan.

Lord Shi, Deputy General Zhen, Jiang Dalang, Xu Sanjun, An Neijian and others were busy non-stop, trying to find out whether there were any hidden spies behind the incident of the students wanting to explain the law.

After all, there might be descendants of spies lurking in Taizhou Academy, and the truth has not been uncovered yet.

The next day, Lord Yan, Lord Gu, Prefect Fei, and Xue Dongjia came to Wuyuan together to see Duke Yan and persuade him and ask for advice: "Duke, there are more and more students outside, and I am afraid that some bad guys will lurk among them and do evil. Elder Jing and the Qin family must respond as soon as possible, otherwise if something really happens, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xun Lao was the person involved, so he was also present. After hearing this, he looked at Gu Chengyong and said, "Commander of the Ancient Capital, don't you have troops? So many troops can't watch over 879 weak students. Then Master Gu, you can't do it. What should we do when the people from the East Desert attack?"

Abandon the city and flee?

Gu Chengyong was an old hand, but when he heard these words, he couldn't keep calm and his face turned black with anger... How did this old monster get out?

Also, the person who is speaking is Lord Yan, so you should target Lord Yan instead of me.
