Never divorce, never stop getting rich

The fire in the academy did not cause much damage because the fire was put out in time.

The academy was busy until late at night, and everyone was tired, so they decided to come back and check during the day.

Who knew that before they returned to the dormitory, there was a commotion outside the academy.

"Vice President Yang, a lot of constables are outside. They say they are from the Military Affairs Department and are here to arrest the arsonist." The doorman couldn't stop them, so he hurried over to report the news.

"South City or North City?"

The Empress's men were in the Dali Temple, and the Five Cities Military Department also served different masters. Moreover, these people came too quickly. It didn't seem like they had rushed over after receiving the news. Instead, it seemed like they had been waiting outside since early morning, ready to arrest people as soon as something happened.

"No, what should I do?"

The doorman is a servant. In the early years, he was also a servant of a wealthy family. The only time he saw an official before was when his master's house was raided. Now, his legs tremble when he sees an official.

"Go call Dean Deng, let's go meet him."

The soldiers from the military department were very quick and didn't say much to Eunuch Yang. They just stood outside in the open space and shouted:

"Panshi Academy was set on fire due to poor supervision, resulting in student injuries. We are now closing the academy. We will discuss reopening the academy after the case is fully investigated and rectification is completed."

"Who told you to do this? You sealed off the academy just because it caught fire. Who are you?"

"Students were injured? That's impossible. The only things that burned were the empty rooms in the meditation room. People only go there during the day. There's no one there at night."

"Who will report it to the authorities? What if they are fake?"

Wen Siqin stood aside, covered in dust, watching the teachers arguing with the constables. He felt very sleepy and wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep, but the military headquarters would not let him go either.

"Arrest Wen Siqin and the others. Someone reported that you set fire to the academy in the middle of the night in retaliation for your dissatisfaction with it and wanted to escape. Come back with us."

The leader of the military unit was a short man with gloomy eyes. Under the dim light of the lantern, there was a cruel look in his eyes.

Eunuch Yang gathered his scattered thoughts and became serious.

This man was originally from the Ministry of Justice. He was an expert at torture, and the blood on his hands could not be washed clean. He left the Ministry of Justice two years ago, and unexpectedly he was hiding in the Military Affairs Department.

If Wen Siqin really fell into this man's hands, by the time the empress came to rescue him, the child would probably be disabled.

"Who said they were arsonists? They were clearly heroes who put out the fire. Lord Yan should not listen to one side of the story."

Eunuch Yang led his men to stop Wen Sitan and the group of dandies who had already been frightened.

Yan Changyi had long expected that Eunuch Yang would come out to stop them. With a wave of his hand, three or four unconscious students were carried up.

"These are the students who were injured and unconscious in the fire. Of course, although they are also children of Beijing officials, they certainly don't have the affluent family background of Master Wen.

But Eunuch Yang can't refuse to give these victims an explanation just because of Master Wen's family background, right?"

Eunuch Yang looked at those people and his heart sank. They were not familiar faces. They should be students who were admitted recently. This Panshi Academy might have been targeted by someone.

"Yes, they all suffered such serious injuries from the fire. Why didn't Lord Yan send people for treatment quickly?"

Everyone turned around and saw Dumbledore, wearing a white robe, walking slowly towards them in the darkness with a lantern, followed by two girls who were hurrying over.

"Are you the dean of the academy?" Yan Changyi had also heard of this person, but this was the first time he met him. Just from one glance, he felt that he was not easy to deal with.

"It's me. Whether to close the academy or not is not up to you or me to decide.

Even if the Military Commissioner wants to close the academy, they must prove that a murder has occurred here. Otherwise, it would be an exaggeration to claim it was just a simple fire."

Dumbledore walked over, took a look at the student lying on the ground, and then stepped aside.

Eunuch Yang also had someone guarding the door, and said with a forced smile, "We all know that Lord Yan handles official business impartially, but taking someone away without any clear reason would be difficult to explain even if the incident was reported to the palace."

A gust of wind from a stick swept past, and Yan Changyi took a few steps back in shock. When he looked up again, he saw Han Zhi, the former commander of the Imperial Guards, holding a stick and standing silently at the intersection leading to the gate.

It may not be easy for them to take the person away today.

Wen Siqin, who is usually stubborn and self-willed, looked at the teachers who were powerless and spontaneously gathered in front of them.

There were also several deans, martial arts masters and guards who protected everyone with their actions.

He bit his lower lip tightly and lowered his head, not wanting others to see his wet eyes.

He is naughty, not stupid. Lord Yan doesn't look like a good person. His father at home always advises him to keep a low profile. He knows that this time he will cause trouble for his family and his aunt.

"Are you injured? I promise the medicine will cure you." Miss Awu came over lightly and stuffed a pill into each person's pocket.

However, for a long time, these people did not respond at all. She carefully felt their pulses again and said with a smile, "It seems that the dosage is not enough."

"Ugh! What's wrong with me?"

"Ah!! Why can't I see? Why are my eyelids falling off?"

"Why is one of my hands big and the other small?"

"My legs were swollen and my pants were torn."

Everyone turned to look and saw that the injured students who were still lying on the ground half-dead had all stood up, shouting and jumping, full of energy.

"The dosage may be a bit too much, but I should be able to recover soon." Miss Awu smiled gently, very satisfied with her treatment process.

"Lord Yan, the students have awakened and can be questioned." Dumbledore stroked his long white beard and said politely.

At the same time, the empress's study was also crowded with people. These people knelt outside the palace gate before dawn, and the empress had to let them in to answer her questions.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the old ministers."

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by doing this?" As an emperor, she should get up early, but today she hardly slept.

"Panshi Academy was set on fire. We don't know whether our children are alive or dead inside the academy. How can Panshi Academy be a place of education with such poor management? Such an academy should be closed down as soon as possible."

"That's right, some students are acting lawless here, even daring to burn down the academy... I'm afraid the teachers don't dare to intervene."

One of the courtiers, who had a straightforward temper, secretly glanced at the empress while speaking.

The empress was puzzled, but she also knew that these people would not come to the palace for no reason, especially since there were complicated people behind these people. She was probably implicated in the incident at Panshi Academy.

"Your Majesty, I am impatient and do not know how to be tactful. The fire at the academy was caused by the young master of the Wen family. I beg Your Majesty to intervene for me and the other children who were injured."

This is forced coercion.

"Your Majesty, many great scholars from academies have come outside, saying that they are here to ask Your Majesty to close down the Panshi Academy." The eunuch walked in and bowed in reply.

"What a coincidence? You all meet at the same place?" The person who came had bad intentions, and they were indeed linked to each other.

"They say that Panshi Academy is planning to open a women's college, which is immoral..."

"In that case, then invite the Marquis' wife and the deans of the academy to come and confront them in court."
