After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

Liao Chengyi in Yi Garden was pale, his eyes full of anger. Hearing the sound of reading that could not be blocked even with the doors and windows closed, he became even more angry. "What is this?"

The attendant beside him explained, "What we are reading now are the Four Books and the University."

"Idiot, is that what I'm asking?"

"What Four Books? What university? Are you bullying me because I have never been to school?" After saying that, she raised her hand and slapped him.

Liang Jingtian, who was watching the forest outside Yiyuan Garden, also had a blank expression on his face. These students, these students!

"What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for me to come and take them back personally? Are you really planning to let your children study here?" an official stamped his feet and said angrily.

The parents, who were unable to react for a moment, finally came to their senses after being yelled at. They hurriedly tried to pull their children away, and the scene suddenly became chaotic and noisy.

"No matter what I say today, you have to go home."

"Hurry up, go home."

"No, I want to study here. If you take me back home today, I will never study again."

"Even if you don't want to study, you have to come home with me today. It's better than dying here."

The teenagers were dragged, pulled, and some were even beaten and scolded by their parents, but they were all stuck to the ground and couldn't get up. During this time, the sound of their reading became even louder.

Suddenly a young man jumped out, his headscarf was torn off, his temples were messy, and he just managed to break free from his family's pull, picked up a brick from a basket, and hit himself on the head.

"I would rather die than not study!" he shouted.

As he shouted, blood flowed from his head and he looked so ferocious that even the parents were scared. These children were usually spoiled and they felt sorry for them even if they got bitten. But he could do this at this time. The scene was a bit scary.

Everyone around was stunned. The pulling sounds suddenly disappeared and the sound of reading also stopped.

The boy seemed to feel no pain, and he repeated again, "I would rather die than not study."

In the blazing fire, he held a bloody brick in one hand and a scroll in the other. His blue shirt was stained with blood, and his face was brilliant. Even the students were stunned. Then he was excited.

On a big tree by the road not far away, melon seed shells and fruit peels were scattered all over the ground. A person's head was swaying on the branches. The dim torchlight illuminated the person's face. It was obviously the old man named Zhixing.

Zhixing's cloudy eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Awesome!"

The scene was too shocking.

Ye Muyang swallowed a few times, his eyes filled with envy and annoyance. "It's too much to say this with this action. Oh, I should have said it first."

Yingge looked at the young man whose face was covered in blood, but he was still able to stand steadily. His clenched fingers loosened a little. The students went crazy. It was too scary. They must be controlled.

The young man wiped the blood off his face, picked up the book in his hand and continued reading, "If people look at themselves as if they were seeing their own lungs and livers, what good would it do..."

At this time, the students around who had been frightened by the scene and fell silent began to recite the part that everyone had just read.

"This is called..., which is manifested externally, so a gentleman must be careful when he is alone..."

No matter how big Yiyuan is, it is still a garden. Even though there are several courtyards between them, the sound of reading outside can still be carried in with the wind.

"Zhu Nian, Zhu Nian, do you listen?" Su Qinghe stood by the window and pointed outside.

The guard was right outside the window. Normally, no one would dare to get close to him, let alone talk about him. But this young man, who was hard to say whether he was timid or brave, was able to do so, which was truly admirable.

After spending a few days together, Zhu Nian regained some consciousness. He recognized Su Qinghe, but was frightened to faint when he recognized him. If someone like Su Qinghe could be caught, then there was no hope for him.

Zhu Nian was hiding in the corner, trembling. When he heard the sound, he raised his head and asked, "What?"

"Su Qinghe said, "Listen, it's the sound of reading."

When the people in the room heard him say this, they all listened attentively. Sure enough, they could hear the sound of reading faintly from outside. They looked surprised and puzzled. "What happened?"

Su Qinghe said, "Our classmates are with us at this time."

The surprise at first turned into shock. Does this answer mean that those seniors outside are actually here to cause trouble? Zhu Nian hadn't reacted yet, and said stupidly, "But, so what?"

Su Qinghe stopped talking to him and moved closer to the window, listening attentively. He listened outside the window through the gap blocked by the wooden board. Lang Lang's reading voice seemed to be louder, and he suddenly called out "Hello".

This sudden shout startled the others in the room.

Su Qinghe held onto the window and shouted out, "Are you guys reading?"

Who? There was only a guard outside the door. After a moment of silence, a voice replied, "Yes."

He turned out to be the mastermind who killed Lu Gongqing next door, the serious criminal who was brought in for interrogation by Zhang Zhe every now and then. Everyone was arrested because of him. Why are there still people taking the initiative to talk to him now?

Could it be that this young man has gone crazy?

Su Qinghe moved closer to the window. Through the narrow gap, he could only see the dark night. "Are you the Nian Shilan?"

Although the man did not answer this time, Su Qinghe suddenly raised his voice and asked again, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes... I lost an ear, so I can't hear clearly. Brother, if you want to speak, you have to speak louder. I can't hear clearly..."

One ear was gone and the other was injured, and he just said it so casually?

What a great deal of perseverance this man has.

Su Qinghe was silent.

Nian Shilan's voice came over intermittently, "They are studying in college outside. I have read the Four Books and Five Classics. When I took the examination for the scholar degree, it was more than ten years ago... At that time, I also read aloud like them."

At this point, he chased the sound for a while, and said with regret, "I can't hear it now..., where did they read to?"

As for Nian Shilan, it is said that he was very promising at a young age. At the age of fifteen, he became a rare scholar who passed the three examinations. At that time, all the ambitions of a young man disappeared overnight. He was silent and asked, "Do you think studying is useful?"

His study not only failed to bring honor to his family, but instead dragged down the family and even directly led to the family's destruction.

There were a few chuckles from the other side, perhaps because the movement pulled the wound, and then there was a continuous coughing sound.

"It is useful. How can it not be useful? It is a very happy thing to be able to follow along and read at this time. This is enough."

Asking in the morning whether I can die in the evening...Su Qinghe was silent, and said with a smile: "Now they are reading the Book of Songs, which says: The peach tree is young and tender..., and the daughter is getting married..."

The voice over the other end also followed, "Be good to his family. Be good to his family... Be good brothers and good brothers. Be good brothers and good brothers, and then you can teach the people..." A group of people were huddled together in the dark prison, with confused and frightened expressions inside and the sound of Lang Lang reading outside. Such a scene was really hard to imagine.

The news that the students were blocking Yi Garden reached the Su family, and the atmosphere in the Su family became even more depressed and heavy.

"The master can't get out after he goes in." Someone explained nearby. "These students are having so much fun now, I'm afraid the blame will be put on Qinghe in the future."

Old Master Su nodded in agreement.

"Has Qinghe been interrogated? Otherwise, why would he say that?" an old man asked anxiously.

"Zhang Zhe's methods are ruthless and cruel. So far, no one has been able to withstand it... If Qinghe really did this..."

"I've never heard of this before. How could this happen..."

"They did ask about Yingge before."

"At a time like this, there's nothing we can do. How did she know?"

There was a buzz of discussion in the room.

Old Master Su, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted their conversation and said, "At this point, it doesn't matter whether Qinghe did it or not. What's important now is how to rescue the people... You can write a letter to your second uncle in the capital, and ask everyone in the government who can say hello to you, especially those who are familiar with Zhang Zhe and Liao Chengyi. It would be better if he is punished less..."

The Su family responded yes.

"Old man, don't worry too much. There will always be a way to solve the problem." Someone comforted him.

Old Master Su said, "I'm not in a hurry. This is an accident, but it's also something that was expected."

Hey, what does that mean? Some people are puzzled.

Old Master Su stroked the teacup and said, "When the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact." Liao Chengyi and his group acted recklessly and arrogantly. Who can guarantee that they will not be caught in his hands in the future? "He chuckled and his eyes fell on the stack of papers he picked up on the table. "To regard everyone in Chang'an as a suspect... to make everyone in Chang'an feel uneasy... is actually true."

It’s not a good idea to talk about this at this time. The people in the room changed their expressions slightly.

"Old Master, don't think too much. Let's wait until we can see Qinghe and then ask him what happened."

As Old Master Su spoke, he waved his hand, signaling them to go back. Everyone left, and the maids and servants also moved away. They just lit up some of the lights in the room. Old Master Su waited for his family to come in, and sat alone in the dark.

"Why can people like Lu Gongqing exist for so long and no one can stop him? That's because there is a greater evil behind him that cannot be seen or told to anyone. What can you kids do if you make trouble now?" he murmured.
