Refuse to trample on the pride of heaven

The blockade in the city was lifted, but Lu Wensheng didn't want to leave like this. The scene just now really shocked him a little. From the words of others, he wanted to help Jiang Cailin - with his identity as a cultivator, it would be easy to help Jiang Cailin, so why not help? This wouldn't even affect him.

He just can't stand to see justice being obscured by power, noble people being destroyed by scheming, and the truth being tampered with!

Lu Wensheng was not doing this just for this person, but for more students who might suffer the same thing in the future - they studied very hard, but in the end they just worked to become a successful person. This is a human tragedy, but isn't it also the sorrow of this country?

Today's Dayong is all show and no substance, and collusion in elections is an inevitable fact. These students are merely insignificant members. Jiang Cailin will not be the first, nor will he be the last. Lu Wensheng can't help at all - but "this little fish cares" and "that little fish cares too".

And put yourself in Lu Wensheng's shoes. If it were Lu Wensheng himself, he had studied hard for more than ten years and fought for the college entrance examination, but in the end, the one who got into a prestigious school was the second generation who skipped classes and fought in school, and that person took his place. He felt that in his anger he could drag the whole world down with him - if one generation got involved, the whole person would be in trouble, okay?

But he didn't want to delay everyone's progress, so he suggested that he stay in Tianshui City for a while.

Liu Jiqian saw what Lu Wensheng was thinking: "I'll just stay with Junior Brother Lu."

Tang He and other disciples: "We want to follow Senior Brother Lu!"

Gu Jinzhi: "Me too!"

Yan Qingshu and Lu Wensheng are in tune with each other. Coming from the same era, they always resonate with each other from time to time.

"I haven't finished eating the melon yet. I won't leave until I see that Mr. So-and-so get punished. I'll be restless and uneasy."

Ji Yanli had a feeling that he might gain something from this, so he decided not to leave. Wei Xun said that he would go wherever Yan Qingshu went.

Ning Rongrong, who has been working diligently and attentively on polishing the storybook for a hundred years, said: "I feel like it can be written into the storybook." She didn't leave either.

Lu Wensheng was very touched. Seeing this, Tang He secretly said, "Brother Lu, since I am so considerate, homework..."

Lu Wensheng changed in a second: "Don't even think about it! Or you can just go, it won't be difficult for you to follow me."

Tang He: “Woo woo woo, I was just kidding.” Damn, the plan to reduce homework failed.

In the end, no one left. Out of caution, they went to the government office to inquire. Seeing that they were dressed differently and had an unusual temperament, the people there were very polite and told them that they would be in court tomorrow.

Zhou Xu and other powerful people in the dominant position did not take Jiang Cailin seriously at all. It was said that they were eating and drinking in a restaurant now.

While the results are still pending, Jiang Cailin's life is still guaranteed, but there is no guarantee that the prison will deliberately abuse Jiang Cailin under Zhou Xu's instructions.

Liu Jiqian had gold and silver that he had exchanged before on him, and they used the money to bribe the jailer. The jailer said that he dared not take too good care of Jiang Cailin, after all, Zhou Xu's family and the prefect were above him, but he would not target him - which saved Jiang Cailin from the pain of physical punishment.

There would be no problem for Lu Wensheng and others to reveal their identities and take Jiang Cailin away directly, but the meaning is different after all, and bypassing the legal procedures in this way is no different from Zhou Xu and other lawless criminals.

Moreover, Lu Wensheng also wanted to see how the ancient people followed the procedures. He could refer to it and maybe it could be useful to the Discipline Hall?

Tang He and Gu Jinzhi were very excited and obviously found it very interesting. They were even more active than Lu Wensheng and immersed themselves in it as if it was a script-killing game. They said they would go to Mingde Academy to collect evidence and find witnesses.

Jiang Cailin's sister Jiang Xiulan received a letter from her second brother a long time ago. The content of the letter only said that Jiang Cailin was probably dead, and asked Jiang Xiulan not to interfere, go back and live a good life, and go to live with her uncles and his close friends who had separated from the family. Wherever the money in the family was, it would be her dowry...

There were not many details in the letter, and it was obvious that the writer was in a hurry. Jiang Xiulan guessed that her brother might have met with an accident - but she had already lost her eldest brother, and could not afford to lose her second brother!

So, Jiang Xiulan took her belongings and rushed to the city alone on a ox cart for the first time. She learned the news of her brother's arrest and the time of his trial. She did not back down. She still wanted to do something for her brother, but she didn't know how, so she could only go to Mingde Academy.

Jiang Xiulan knew Liu Jun, who was a good friend of Jiang Cailin. Liu Jun was surprised to see Jiang Xiulan, but when he came to his senses, he said that he would take care of her in the future. The situation in the city was not peaceful, so he told her that she'd better go home quickly.

"I've already inquired about it! My second brother shouldn't have ended up like this! I want to save my second brother!"

They couldn't do anything, so what could Jiang Xiulan, a girl who hadn't even reached the age of marriage, do? Liu Jun wanted to persuade Jiang Xiulan to go back, but Jiang Xiulan refused.

Perhaps out of pity for his friend and the pleading of his friend's sister, Liu Jun finally gave in and agreed to help Jiang Xiulan find a solution.

It would be best if we could find witnesses to come to court. The students of Mingde Academy are all insiders, and some have even been tortured by Zhou Xu and his men. They can be said to be ready-made witnesses.

"We also feel sorry for Brother Ziyan's situation, but have you ever considered our future when asking us to testify like this?"

"Is it fair for us to be retaliated against by Zhou Xu and his men for testifying for you?"

"You want us to give up our future to testify? Don't be ridiculous."

Earlier, they were willing to help stop the captain of police because the law does not punish everyone. But it is a different matter if they go up as witnesses. They will be sitting ducks. Are they afraid that Zhou Xu and the others don’t know who to take revenge on?

As expected, none of these students were willing to come forward to testify, and the teachers shook their heads and sighed - their families were not free of worries either, so how could it be easy for them to testify?

"Sister Xiulan, you'd better give up." Liu Jun and Jiang Xiulan left the academy and sighed.

This was the scene that Lu Wensheng and the others saw when they came over - it looked like they had gained nothing, so they didn't need to find a way to get in.

"I won't give up." Jiang Xiulan left resolutely.

Tang He: "Brother Lu, what should we do?"

Lu Wensheng had a plan in mind: "We'll come back when the court is in session." The united power is to oppress others, right? Then they will also be a power and enforce "fairness" - the evidence is actually not important at this moment, what they really care about is the background.

"Headmaster, Jiang Cailin's sister is gone."

"Yes, I know."

"It looks like Jiang Cailin's fate is set in stone."

Ying Wanmin looked out the window and murmured in a low voice: "The skins of a thousand sheep are not as good as the arms of a fox; the obedience of a thousand people is not as good as the outspokenness of one scholar."

This is like a thousand sheepskins, which are not as valuable as a fox armpit skin; a thousand people echoing each other are not as good as one person's outspoken argument - it is already remarkable that Jiang Cailin dared to resist.

"Master, what did you say?"

"Nothing, just make some tea. Remember to pick out the bad tea leaves."

"Yes."
