Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Village Chief, what did you just say?"

The village chief looked everywhere for someone, and finally saw Bai Wanwan. The person next to him said, "This is the county magistrate of Qingshui County. Elder, if you have any suffering or grievances, you can tell our county magistrate."

The village chief shook his head and smiled bitterly, "How come the magistrate of our Qingshui County is only this lowly?"

Li Hu shouted, "What do you care how senior the county magistrate is? As long as he can get things done, just say whatever you want."

The village chief sighed and said:

"Actually, Sun Xiaofeng was kicked out of Qingfeng College.

Qingfeng College is the largest college in our area.

Speaking of Sun Xiaofeng, his grades were actually quite good, and he was on the verge of passing the imperial examination to become a scholar.

But when he arrived at Qingfeng Academy, everyone there bullied and excluded him.

The children of wealthy families and those from families with generations of officials did not take him seriously at all and ordered him to do this and that all day long.

Not only him, but all the children from Qingshui County are treated like this there.

Those people looked down on us from Qingshui County from the bottom of our hearts, and we were bullied everywhere. In the end, there was nothing we could do. "

Bai Wanwan pondered for a moment, then turned and walked into the room and said, "You guys go check if there's anything unusual on the body, like signs of being beaten."

The people Bai Wanwan sent to investigate acted very quickly and soon received news back.

One person exclaimed, "How could this happen?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Sun Xiaofeng lying there, his body covered with shocking scars.

The crisscrossing whip marks were clearly visible, as if the person had been whipped repeatedly. Some places had already scabbed over, while others still had lingering blood stains.

In addition, his body was covered with blue and purple patches, with large bruises as if he had been hit by a heavy object or beaten with fists or feet. Even the joints of his limbs were red, swollen and deformed, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot of blunt force injuries.

Someone carefully examined it and added with a frown, "I'm afraid this isn't all..."

Bai Wanwan walked in, and when her eyes fell on Sun Xiaofeng, her pupils shrank slightly.

Between the whip marks and bruises, there were actually several deeper bloody marks, as if they were scratched by someone's fingernails.

There were even a few spots where the skin and flesh were turned outward, obviously left there by someone maliciously during the struggle, with an almost humiliating meaning.

Bai Wanwan frowned and said, "You're nothing but a beast. How can you insult people like this?"

What Sun Xiaofeng suffered is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Bai Wanwan said with red eyes: "Investigate, we must get to the bottom of this matter. I want to see who is so brave."

The village chief also came in and burst into tears:

"Oh! How could this happen? How could this happen? This child has always been good-tempered and never argues with others.

The teacher has praised him for his talent since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will be able to become the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future.

His family owns a snack bar on the street, so how come he's standing like this?"

Bai Wanwan looked at Naitang next to her. Naitang nodded and left with a group of his men.

The pacifier quickly took them to Qingfeng Academy, which was not in Qingshui County, but in Qingfeng County.

When it was daybreak, Milk Candy and the others came back, and Milk Tea said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk":

"The Qingfeng Academy is a mess. Those without power and influence are no different from ordinary servants. Those with power and influence are the masters.

Sun Xiaofeng was also quite miserable. He was very handsome, so he was noticed by someone and asked to accompany people for drinking.

How could a child from an ordinary family experience this? He simply refused.

As a result, the academy expelled him.”

Bai Wanwan was so angry that she cursed, "Who would want to do that to a child from a good family? Who are they?"

Milk tea said helplessly: "The youngest son of the prefect, the son of the dean of the academy, the sons of the two county magistrates, and a few others are all sons of aristocratic families."

How can ordinary people contend with these people?

Milk tea gurgled twice and said, "The one who fell in love with Sun Xiaofeng was the prefect's youngest son..."

Bai Wanwan narrowed her eyes and said, "Then I'm afraid he was also responsible for this case, right?"

Toffee shook his head:

"I asked several mice in Sun Xiaofeng's home, and they saw several people, at least eight.

Sun Xiaofeng's parents were given poison, and Sun Xiaofeng was... "

Bai Wanwan was so angry that she was shaking: "You are worse than an animal."

Milk tea gurgled, "People from Qingshui County are not welcome at Qingfeng Academy. One could even say that they are all very humble."

Bai Wanwan sneered and said, "Isn't it just an academy? We in Qingshui County can also have our own academy. If you need great scholars, we have plenty of them in our village."

The mountain stronghold is full of great scholars, and there were hundreds of officials they rescued!

That’s equivalent to half of the imperial court’s population, and many of these people have been rehabilitated. How difficult could it be for a small academy?

Bai Wanwan said calmly, "Let's postpone the shop and start building the academy tomorrow. The academy will be located on the mountain not far from the commercial street."

Bai Wanwan took out a map and pointed, "Right here..."

Zhiwei notified everyone directly, she knew Bai Wanwan was really angry.

In ancient times, class antagonism was inevitable, but it was absolutely unacceptable for those in power to treat these students like monkeys.

Bai Wanwan said:

"First, go to the mountain stronghold to pick up some people, invite the best scholars, and place them behind our government office.

I will personally go to pick up the students from Qingshui County."

Bai Wanwan changed into his official robe and rushed to Qingfeng Academy with hundreds of people.

When the people of Qingshui County saw such a big scene, they hurriedly asked, "What happened? Where is the county magistrate going?"

"I heard that a student from Qingfeng College died, brutally murdered. Now the county magistrate wants to bring back all the students from Qingshui County."

"Over the years, students in Qingshui County have been bullied. I heard that several have died in the past few years."

"Do you remember last year? Old Li's kid, a true prodigy, died in the end? It was because his grades were so good that it made others jealous."

"The previous county magistrate didn't care about the lives of these students at all, but now it's all changed."

Bai Wanwan brought a group of people to Qingfeng Academy. It must be said that the environment of Qingfeng Academy looks quite good.

Qingfeng Academy is located on Qingfeng Mountain. The entire mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the peaks are looming in the mist.

The main gate is even more magnificent, with two thick and solid vermilion-painted doors and door knockers made of brass.

Above the door lintel hangs a plaque with gold characters on a black background. The four large characters "Qingfeng Academy" are written in powerful strokes. It is said that they were written by a great scholar of the previous dynasty, revealing the heritage of a century-old institution of learning.

On both sides of the door stands a pair of white marble lions, majestic and guarding the dignity of the academy.
