Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Yingshan was at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

Seeing this, Chen Lang continued, "Since the student is a genuine Yan person, then the various remarks made by the adults before are slander against the student."

"Your Excellency is attempting to attack Master Xiao by framing me. However, I have already stated that the relationship between Master Xiao and me is simply one-sided, and nothing more."

"However, the adults insisted on having their own way and were determined to put the students to death."

"My teacher once taught me that the way to be an official is to leave a way out, because that way we can meet again in the future."

"Because no one knows whether those who are currently frustrated will rise in the future. Nor do they know whether those who are currently favored will fall into poverty in the future."

"From this perspective, if adults slander students, students can avoid pursuing the matter."

"but……"

Chen Lang's voice suddenly rose. "Your Excellency should never, ever, lay hands on my elders. Seventy years of age is a rarity. Elders of this age are a national treasure, yet you tortured them!"

"If I don't hold him accountable for such brutality, how can I be worthy of the court's training and my fellow villagers?"

Ying Shan slumped in the chair, watching Chen Lang pressing forward step by step, and the thought of begging for mercy began to arise in his mind.

Now that things have come to this, if we continue to resist, we will not only be ruined, but we may even lose our heads.

Only by compromising can you perhaps get a glimmer of hope.

Just when Ying Shan was about to beg for mercy, someone else walked into the lobby of the county government office.

When he saw this person, Ying Shan instantly understood why the Dingbian Army appeared here.

Because this person is called Pei Ming.

Pei Ming strolled leisurely up to Ying Shan and said, "Master Ying, is the trial over?"

Ying Shan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

Fan Cheng, who had been a spectator the entire time, stood up hastily and bowed, "This humble official greets General Pei."

Although civil officials and military officials are two different systems and have no mutual interests, Pei Ming is of the fifth rank and Fan Cheng is only of the seventh rank, so there is nothing wrong with calling himself a subordinate.

Pei Ming returned the greeting and said, "Master Fan, thank you for your courtesy."

"The Lord heard that the top judge in our Qinzhou Road court was a spy from the Liao Kingdom, so he sent me to Nanhe County to investigate."

"Now it seems that everything is completely false. Yingshan fabricated rumors and slandered our students for his own future. His heart is damnable."

"Yingshan, I'm going to arrest you now. Do you have anything to say?"

Ying Shan lowered his head dejectedly and said, "I have nothing to say."

"Take him away." Pei Ming waved his hand, and several Dingbian soldiers stepped forward and forced Ying Shan away.

As for the group of guards brought by Ying Shan, they also followed obediently behind.

Pei Ming then came up to Chen Lang again, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Well done."

Chen Lang bowed and said, "General, thank you for your kind words."

Pei Mingdao: Keep moving forward. Many people are waiting to see how far you can go.

Chen Lang: “Ah?”

Pei Ming smiled and strode away.

Pei Ming's attitude towards Chen Lang made Fan Cheng a little puzzled.

He seems to have high expectations of Chen Lang.

The more I think about it, the more I feel something is wrong.

Zhu Sui'an, Duke of Linshui County, held a high position of power. He was not only the pacification envoy of Qinzhou Road, but also the General of the Right Guard, commanding the Dingbian Army.

After Li Shirong's Zhongwu Army was divided and disintegrated, Zhu Sui'an was the only one in the entire Dayan who could command a fixed army in one place. The armies of other routes were jointly managed by several civil officials.

Civilian supervision of each other can ensure that the military is not privatized.

If war breaks out, the court will appoint military generals to lead the army, and civil officials will serve as supervisors to participate in the battle.

This shows that Zhu Sui'an was able to lead the Dingbian Army because he had the emperor's highest trust.

It is totally unreasonable that a person who is so highly regarded by the emperor would pay so much attention to a small scholar and even send the most trusted person around him to inspect him.

According to normal logic, only an official of the prefect's rank who is a spy of the Liao Kingdom could attract Zhu Sui'an's attention.

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 things are wrong.

Fan Cheng thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. When he came to his senses, he found that the lobby of the county government office was empty. Chen Lang and the villagers of Hezhong Village had all left.

Fan Cheng frowned, a little unhappy.

Is Chen Lang too stupid? He didn't even say hello to the county magistrate before leaving?

At this time, Master Rong came over quickly, his face turning pale and blue, probably because he was frightened.

"Sir, after all, this incident happened in the county government office, and Sir Ying was taken away just like that..."

Fan Cheng waved his hand and said, "Since Duke Zhu has intervened, it is not for us to interfere."

"I have something for you to do."

"Compile everything that happened today into a book and send it to Guangling Prefecture."

"Don't add those messy descriptions, just write it down exactly as it is."

Master Rong said, "Sir, it would be more appropriate for you to write this yourself."

Fan Cheng thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write it in a moment. Go and call the messenger. This detailed letter must be delivered to the prefect as quickly as possible."

Master Rong said, "I'll go right away."

The words are divided into two parts.

After Chen Lang sent the villagers out of the county town, he gave each of them one string of coins as a reward.

Grandpa Zhuzi also gave an extra two strings of cash as spiritual compensation and medical expenses.

After watching the villagers go away, Chen Lang returned to Sheng Mansion without stopping.

He wanted to ask the teacher whether he had really decided to become Cui Yan's aide.

When I arrived at Sheng Mansion, I found that the servants were already packing up.

The master's wife was holding Guoguo, her face full of reluctance to let go.

"Your teacher is waiting for you in the study." Mrs. Sheng said.

Chen Lang nodded and walked quickly towards the study.

Entering the study, Sheng Chuliang was sorting through the bookshelves. Hearing the noise, he didn't even turn around and said directly, "You must read every book I left for you carefully. They will be of great help to you in the annual examination next year and the provincial examination the year after."

"Don't be lazy while I'm away. I'm still waiting for you to become the top scorer in the high school entrance exam."

Chen Lang's eyes were slightly swollen, and he said, "Teacher, have you really decided?"

Sheng Chuliang turned around and said with a smile: "Erlang, all good things must come to an end. Besides, we are only separated in life, not in death. Why are you so sad?"

"Next year, you will have to come to Qinzhou Prefecture to take the imperial examination. We can meet again then."

"Besides, this time when I leave the mountain, it's not certain that everything will go smoothly. I might be demoted again in a few months."

Chen Lang wiped his eyes and said, "Teacher, I believe that you will definitely have a successful career this time."

Sheng Chuliang sighed and said, "I also hope that I can have a successful official career, because only in this way can I protect my only student."

Chen Lang's heart trembled, and his voice trembled: "Teacher, is this the reason why you came out of seclusion?"
