Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

In front of the attic, the man with a bruised face and nose was pointing at Zhao Sheng tremblingly, his voice full of anger.

"It's obviously you. You plagiarized my article!"

"How dare you talk nonsense!"

Zhao Sheng was furious and walked forward to kick the man on the head.

"Stop it!"

Ye Chen's face darkened. How could he not see that there was something wrong?

He rushed forward and kicked out.

"Snapped!"

The man named Zhao Sheng was caught off guard and was kicked more than ten feet away.

"Young Master!"

Several of Zhao Sheng's lackeys rushed forward.

"You bastard, you dare to hit me? Come on! Get him!"

Zhao Sheng was helped up, but he held his stomach in pain, feeling as if the overnight meal was about to be kicked out. So he stared at Ye Chen with great resentment and roared.

In an instant, several of his men quickly stepped forward, surrounded Ye Chen, and were about to take action.

"Which of you dares?"

Shen Qiu's face darkened and he immediately stood up, swiftly holding the sword in his hand across his body.

Qin Man's face was a little pale, but she stood firmly beside Ye Chen.

"Here, grab those two girls for me too!"

Zhao Sheng had noticed the two women around Ye Chen a long time ago. He was not sure of Ye Chen's identity before, but now that the two sides have completely torn their faces apart, he naturally has no scruples and reveals his fierce side.

But the next moment.

"Snap!" "Snap!" "Snap!".

Shen Qiu didn't even draw his sword. In a few breaths, all the minions who surrounded him were knocked to the ground.

Two of them were directly knocked out, flying more than three meters away and smashing a water tank.

Zhao Sheng's eyes widened instantly, and the expression on his face froze.

"Oh my god, this is so powerful?"

Zhao Sheng's head was covered with sweat.

However, the next moment, Shen Qiu came in front of him, grabbed the collar of his neck, and lifted him up in front of Ye Chen like a chicken.

"You, you, what do you want to do? Do you know who I am? Let me go, or I will find someone to kill you later!"

Zhao Sheng's face was a little pale, and he spoke in a harsh but weak voice.

"Snapped!"

Ye Chen raised his hand and slapped him with force.

Zhao Sheng's eyes widened, and a five-finger mark appeared on his face.

"Who do you want to kill?"

Ye Chen's eyes were sharp and his tone was calm and domineering.

Zhao Sheng's body kept shaking, and his face was filled with complete fear.

"I, I, my father is an official in the Ministry of Works, and my teacher is Master Zhou. You, you can't touch me. If you do, my father and my teacher will not let you go!"

"Oh, an official from the Ministry of Works? And Master Zhou?"

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes, and he turned to look at Qin Man beside him.

"Mian'er, do you know Master Zhou?"

The clerks of the Ministry of Works, that is, the officials working in the Ministry of Works, were not considered big shots.

And Master Zhou, from the sound of his name, he seems to be some great scholar?

Ye Chen asked Qin Man in confusion.

"Are you talking about Master Zhou Jie?"

Qin Man narrowed her eyes, thought for a moment, and then asked.

"That's right!"

Zhao Sheng nodded quickly.

Qin Man then said to Ye Chen, "Sir, Zhou Jie is indeed the teacher of the academy. He has been at Yingchuan Academy for more than ten years and has many students. He enjoys a high reputation among the scholars."

"Oh, Meng'er, what kind of person is Master Zhou?"

Ye Chen asked again.

".He is highly respected, but I don't know what his true character is like."

Qin Man originally studied women's virtues at Yingchuan College, but Dayu had strict rules for gender separation, and the attic where the female students lived was separated from the attic where the male students lived by a high wall.

The teachers who taught female students were also women.

Qin Man had never had any dealings with Master Zhou, and she had no idea what kind of person he was.

"Humph."

Ye Chen ignored Zhao Sheng and looked at the student who had been beaten before.

"what's your name?"

"Han Yu."

The student who was beaten finally caught his breath, slowly stood up from the ground, and bowed to Ye Chen.

"Thank you for your help, sir."

Even though he was beaten black and blue and looked in a miserable state, Han Yu's bowing posture was still very standard, revealing a refined temperament.

"Han Yu, did you just say that Zhao Sheng plagiarized your article?"

Ye Chen asked.

"Your Excellency, I recently wrote an article commenting on current affairs. I submitted it to Master Zhou for review before publishing. However, when the article was published, it was signed by Zhao Sheng."

"I went to argue with Master Zhou, and he said it was a mistake and asked me to come back first. But not long after I came back, I was beaten severely."

Han Yu gave a bitter smile. His painstaking work was plagiarized by others. He argued with them and was beaten up.

After hearing Han Yu's words, Ye Chen's face suddenly darkened, and then he looked at Zhao Sheng with a sharp gaze.

"Is it this way?"

"Hmph, brat, this isn't something you can control! You heard it too, this is related to the academy's teacher. If you hit me now, you'll be offending the academy's teacher! You'll be offending the entire academy!"

Zhao Sheng snorted coldly and said arrogantly.

"Snapped!"

Ye Chen raised his hand and slapped him again.

This time, Zhao Sheng vomited blood directly from his mouth and two of his teeth were broken.

"Tell me, did you plagiarize someone else's article?"

Ye Chen asked in a deep voice.

"What? What plagiarism? How could a poor kid like him write such an article? Besides, can something a scholar does be called plagiarism?"

"And without my signature, the article can't be published."

After being slapped twice, Zhao Sheng no longer had the arrogance he had before, but he still tried to argue for himself.

Seeing this, Ye Chen immediately showed a sneer on his face.

Things are already clear.

This is a case of a student from a wealthy family stealing the hard work of a poor student, and even colluding with the teacher of the academy. After being discovered, he shamelessly beat up the poor student.

Ye Chen's eyes turned completely cold.

"Qiu'er, take Zhao Sheng away!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

After capturing Zhao Sheng, there was no need to visit Yingchuan Academy anymore.

After all, a spoiled student from a wealthy family and an oppressed student from a poor family can represent two different classes in Yingchuan College.

We will definitely be able to understand the current situation of Yingchuan College from them.

And seeing that Ye Chen was about to take him away.

Zhao Sheng immediately panicked.

"What are you doing? My father is a civil servant and will be the Minister of Works in the future. He is a fourth-rank official in the court. You can't do this to me. If you do this to me, my father will not let you go!"

Zhao Sheng shouted loudly, and Shen Qiu thought he was too noisy, so he picked up the hilt of the sword and hit him hard on the mouth.

He was hit so hard that his mouth was full of blood, but he stammered and dared not say anything else.

On the other side, Han Yu frowned when he saw this, and was quite shocked.

As a child of aristocratic family, he was used to being arrogant and domineering in Yingchuan Academy.

When had he ever seen a child from a noble family being beaten so badly?

"Han Yu, follow me and I will give you justice."

Ye Chen suddenly became friendly and spoke to Han Yu.

"well."

Han Yu nodded. He didn't dare to disobey at this moment and also hoped to get justice.

But just as Ye Chen turned around to leave.

Suddenly, a lot of people rushed in from the archway of the high wall.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned and found that these people had blocked the door.

The leader of these people was an old man wearing a tall crown, with white hair and beard, and he looked majestic without even being angry.
