Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 3 Actually, I'm an Actor

The Imperial Academy was, after all, the highest institution of learning in the Tang Empire. The teachers here all held official positions, and many of the doctors were of the fifth rank or above. The students here were all relatives of the emperor, so the security here was no less than that of any government office.

That being said, these young masters rarely fought in the Imperial Academy. They weren't stupid; if they wanted to fight, they would usually arrange it outside.

A brawl of this scale is extremely rare.

While Wang Xi and Wu Chongwen were locked in fierce combat, a group of uniformed soldiers rushed over and subdued everyone involved in the fight in an instant.

Half an hour later.

Inside the main hall in the backyard of the Imperial College, five white-haired old men sat with grim faces, looking at the dozen or so students in the middle who had bruised and swollen faces and disheveled clothes. Each of them had red faces and bulging veins, and it was clear that they were trying very hard to suppress their anger.

This is unforgivable at the Imperial College.

"You are truly lawless, daring to fight in front of the Imperial Academy. What exactly happened? Tell us the truth now."

The old man sitting in the middle suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, scolding the group of students.

This old man was named Jiang Yanbo. He was the most senior scholar in the Imperial Academy and was in charge of all academic matters.

Wu Chongwen bowed and said, "Dr. Jiang, please understand. Just now, I met Wang Xi in front of the courtyard gate and went up to inquire about his leg injury. However, he was still holding a grudge about the time I accidentally caused him to fall from his horse and suddenly attacked me. I had no choice but to retaliate."

His two companions behind him also spoke up, confirming that Wang Xi had made the first move.

"Wang Xiaoque, Wang Xiaoque, it's you again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanbo had no doubt whatsoever and immediately pointed angrily at Wang Xi, saying, "On your very first day of school, you've caused chaos at the Imperial Academy. I really shouldn't have kept such a troublemaker like you at the Imperial Academy."

But when he saw that Wang Xi was just staring intently at Wu Chongwen, as if ignoring his words, he became even angrier and glared at him, "Wang Xi, I'm asking you a question."

Li Jieman, standing next to Wang Xi, was trembling with fear. He was about to pull Wang Xi away when Wang Xi suddenly lunged at Wu Chongwen, shouting, "I'm going to kill you!"

This unexpected turn of events stunned everyone present.

This main hall could be considered the office of the Dean of the Imperial Academy. To dare to make a move here, even Wu Chongwen did not expect Wang Xi to suddenly attack, and was directly tackled to the ground by Wang Xi.

It wasn't until Wang Xi raised his fist, ready to strike, that everyone realized what was happening and quickly pulled Wang Xi away from Wu Chongwen.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm going to kill this bastard."

But Wang Xi persisted, struggling violently and kicking Wu Chongwen repeatedly.

Li Jieman and his classmates were terrified. They never expected Wang Xi to be so fierce, actually fighting in front of five PhD students.

Finished!

It's all over!
It would be a miracle if he didn't get fired!
Even a god couldn't save them!

"enough!"

Jiang Yanbo roared, "Guards! Lock Wang Xi in solitary confinement immediately!"

He had been at the Imperial College for over twenty years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he was so angry that he almost had a stroke.

"Brother Jiang, please calm down."

A kind-looking old man stood up and came to Wang Xi, asking with a hint of doubt, "Wang Xi, what grudge do you have against Chongwen? Why do you want to kill him?"

Putting him aside, everyone present was extremely confused.

Wang Xi acted like a madman, leaving even his best friends dumbfounded. Jiang Yanbo, though angry, was also very confused.

Although Wang Xi was mischievous and never passed his exams, he had never been so unruly as he was today.

Wang Xi stubbornly pouted, tears welling in his eyes, but he wouldn't say a word, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He was a former extra, and his performance was incredibly realistic.

Upon seeing this, the kind-faced old man became even more convinced that there must be some hidden story. He added, "If you have any grievances, you can speak up. If it is truly Chongwen's fault, your teacher will definitely seek justice for you."

Wang Xi suddenly burst into tears, pointing at Wu Chongwen, "It was him! He said that the Emperor wanted to depose my aunt and make his aunt the Empress! You can bully me, but you can't bully my aunt!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned pale with fright.

A deposed empress?
this.!

Wu Chongwen was so frightened that he almost fainted. After a long while, he jumped up and pointed at Wang Xi, saying, "You little brat, you're spouting nonsense. I never said that."

This sudden accusation left him at a loss, and he could only instinctively refute it.

Li Jieman suddenly jumped out, "You're lying! I heard what you said! You said the Emperor had decided to replace my aunt, otherwise we wouldn't have attacked you! Waaah!"

As he continued, he burst into tears.

The students who joined in later, upon hearing the words of these two, immediately fainted.

This is a real disaster.

What happens next is uncertain!
The scholars in the hall couldn't help but swallow. This was not something the Imperial Academy could handle. They exchanged glances and then immediately summoned people to lock everyone involved in the incident in a solitary confinement room.

Immediately, they summoned the gatekeeper.

"Old He, I heard you were there when the fight broke out in front of the courtyard gate?"

Dr. Jiang inquired.

Old Man He nodded and replied, "Yes."

What exactly happened back then?

"Oh, I first saw Wang Shaolang and Li Shaolang get off the carriage, and then Wu Erlang and the others walked over and seemed to be talking about something, but since I was quite far away from them, I couldn't hear clearly. Later..."

Old Man He thought for a moment before saying, "Oh, later, I don't know what Wu Erlang said, but it seems to be related to Wang Shaolang's aunt!"

Jiang Yanbo immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Old Man He said, "Because Wang Shaolang suddenly went crazy, not only attacking Wu Erlang, but also shouting something like, 'You insulted my aunt,' and then they started fighting."

Jiang Yanbo asked, "Did you hear what Wu Chongwen said?"

"That's not true."

Old Man He shook his head.

Jiang Yanbo sighed with slight disappointment, then waved his hand and said, "You can go now."

"Yes, I will resign, villain."

After Old Man He left, a PhD said, "It seems that Wang Xiaoque is not lying."

Another scholar said, "I've heard that His Majesty has recently been very fond of Consort Wu."

"Oh dear! That Consort Wu is the late Emperor's grand-niece, could this be...!"

"Stop making wild guesses here."

Jiang Yanbo waved his hand, "We can't handle this. To avoid getting into trouble, quickly send someone to invite Duke Qi and the others over and take their sons back."
