Chapter 513: Eliminate All Traces

pondered for a long time before resolutely replying, "I'll talk to that hermit and see if I can get you a pot...""Hahaha, great, wonderful! Brother Li, don't worry about the money, I want it all, mak...> Wang Sheng and Liu Kui were driven mad by the fact that they had been betrayed by the errand boy, and their legs trembled with fear.

"No, we didn't mean to, we were just joking!" Wang Sheng still tried to cover it up, but even he didn't believe his excuse.

Soon, the dean's attendant returned, holding a palm-sized porcelain jar filled with pale yellow "bean flour"!

Mr. Cheng understood a little bit of medicine. He lowered his head and sniffed, and the last sliver of hope in his heart vanished.

He sighed and said, "This is the powdered assafoetida! This little jar is probably enough to make everyone in our entire academy run to the toilet for three days straight. If someone's body is a bit weak, they might even die!"

Now, Dr. Zhou, Mr. Peng, and Mr. Geng had also hardened their hearts completely.

If they say it was just a scheme against the Lee family once, it can be said that they acted impulsively and made a hasty decision.

But this was followed one after another, since one plan failed there was another. He made up his mind to fight the Li family to the end and didn't care if it would implicate the academy.

Such people should not be kept around.

The director, Zhou, bowed and said to Dong Mei, "Let them tell the truth. We must listen."

Winter Plum immediately stepped forward and made Liu Kui and Wang Sheng taste the same suffering that Mo Xiang had endured.

To their surprise, the two of them weren't even as good at crying as a whimpering child. Their tears and snot smeared all over their faces, their clothes were soaked through. Dongmei grimaced, retracted her foot, and wiped it on the ground in disgust.

Wang Sheng and Liu Kui were scrambling to confess.

Wang Sheng was afraid of being a step too late, and shouted: "Our Wang family has always had a grudge against the Li family. Li Zhensheng is a white-eyed wolf, eating and drinking from our Wang family, and in the end, he blackened our family's reputation, leaving all of our clansmen ashamed to go out and see people!"

Liu Kui also shouted: "My sister married into the Yan family, and the Yan family was driven out of Kyoto. My sister has to return to her hometown too, and she can never come back again. I'm so angry..."

These two initially felt a bit apprehensive, but as they spoke, they started to feel justified.

It seems they are doing it for the greater good, ridding society of evil. It's not wrong!

The Li family was unwilling to waste their breath arguing with them.

After all, when it comes to the grievances between the Li family and the Wang Yan family, it's impossible to tell the whole story in just an hour or two.

Li Laosan just held up a wooden sign and walked up to them, asking, "Where did you get this wooden sign With such fine craftsmanship, you couldn't possibly have made it yourselves. There must be someone behind you helping you, or perhaps you are being used as pawns by someone else!"

Wang Sheng and Liu Kui looked at each other, Wang Sheng bit his lip and said, "This brand is my toy when I was a child. I only take it out occasionally when I see it."

This is obviously a lie. Ye Shan and Dong Mei took turns stepping forward to "discipline" the two, but unfortunately, they just wouldn't change their story.

Li Lao'er could only motion Ye Shan and Dong Mei to step back. Finally, he said to Dean Zhou and the others: “Dean, gentlemen, things have come to this, and it is clear. Regarding the matter behind the scenes, our Li family will continue to investigate, but for these two students, please ask the academy to deal with them as soon as possible.”

Mr. Cheng seemed to have been slapped twice in the face.

Just now he was still protecting these two little beasts, but I didn't expect them to really do evil deeds, and it wasn't one or two...

At this moment, he stood up directly and said, "Dean, these two people must be expelled. The academy cannot keep such a scourge!"

Mr. Peng and Mr. Geng also nodded, "He must be fired, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Liu Kui and Wang Sheng originally thought that beating a few boards would be enough to sweep it under the rug, but they never expected to be expelled!

Both of them jumped in fright, and finally couldn't care about their embarrassment. They crawled forward like maggots and then hugged the headmaster’s legs, begging for mercy desperately.

"Headmaster, we know we were wrong, sniffle, please don't expel us!"

"Dean, please spare us! We're about to take the scholar examination! Waaah, being expelled, where will we study We were just joking, we didn't mean to harm anyone!"

The Dean completely ignored them and instructed Mr. Cheng, "Take them to the disciplinary hall and have their families come over tomorrow. We will hold a meeting for all faculty and students, suspending classes. Everyone must learn from this!"

Yes, Director.

Mr. Cheng called for the long-sleeved servant to help, and escorted Wang Sheng and Liu Kui, as well as the young boy attendant, out.

Wang Sheng and Liu Kui still wanted to cry out, but they were soon silenced.

The house finally fell silent, leaving an awkward atmosphere.

At this time, the matron beside Madam Zhou came over to pay respects and said, “Director, Madam says the banquet is ready. Please take a seat with your guests.”

The director coughed twice, stood up and invited the Li family and Mr. Wen, "It's getting late, it's dinner time. If you don't mind, stay for a meal."

The midwife had been with Mrs. Zhou since childhood and, after accompanying her as dowry, had also married into the Zhou family. She was practically a mistress in the household.

At this, she smiled and said: “Dean, you wouldn’t know. Our esteemed guest certainly won’t mind the dishes tonight. The Madam was just agonizing over what to prepare when those four large food boxes arrived from the cafeteria. We simply placed them on the table.”

When the director heard this, his face immediately brightened. The Li family's actions were indeed meticulous and thoughtful, deserving of praise.

To be honest, the Li family saved the academy from a disaster today.

Otherwise, it would truly be as Master Li said, that when the exam hall erupts in chaos, regardless of which side suffers losses, the reputation of Luo'an Academy would be ruined!

"Today, I am truly grateful for everyone's righteousness and farsightedness. We should have treated you to a feast in thanks, but instead, we’ve caused you more expense!"

Dr. Zhou bowed and thanked them, pretending to lead Li Lao Er and the others towards the flower hall.

The three Li brothers and Wen Yushi naturally had to be polite for a few words. For a moment, everyone brushed aside the awkwardness just now and became close and lively again.

Li Lao Er used the excuse of needing to attend evening classes to send Jia Ren and Jia Li back to the dormitory.

Without mentioning how Dean Zhou's family was having drinks and laughter at home, let's just say Jia Ren and Jia Li rushed back to the dining hall for a quick meal before hurrying back to their dormitory.

Because Mr. Peng is also at the dinner table, tonight's evening class will have the students review their homework on their own.

This is just like evening self-study in school before, when there was no teacher supervising.

How could students pass up such a great opportunity Although they didn't dare to run, jump or play boisterously, they could still make small gestures and whisper to each other.

Several students who sat around Jia Ren, both in front and behind him, were all close to him.

At this moment, a student from the front row walked up to Jiaren and whispered mysteriously, "Jiaren, do you know Liu Kui and Wang Sheng seem to have done something wrong. They've been arrested!"

Jia Ren flipped open the book and simply replied, "Hmm, I know."

"Hey, you know what" The student, bursting with gossip he hadn't shared yet, hastily closed Jiaren's book.

He lowered his voice and continued, “I mean, they were tied up, gagged, and carried away! The man who took them was over six feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. It’s said that even the patrolmen wouldn't dare to stop him when they saw him!”

Before Jiaren could speak, several students nearby enthusiastically chimed in.

"Really I heard they were sleeping in a thatched hut in the woods and got dragged into the forest by wild animals."

"Yes, I heard they were eaten by beasts too. They only found their clothes, and the bones were completely devoured!"

"Goodness me, that's frightening! What will the academy say Should we build the walls higher"

Someone just informed me that there will be a full-院 meeting tomorrow. Could it be about this

A buzz of excited chatter filled the air.

Jiarren, the only one in the know, listened to these people's ramblings and found it increasingly absurd, yet amusing.

He thought for a moment, afraid of being blamed by them tomorrow, so he simply revealed two sentences, "Don't guess blindly, Liu Kui and Wang Sheng are not in any danger. They were sent to the Disciplinary Hall. As for what happened, you will know at the meeting tomorrow!"

Here are three more chapters!each, as an exchange.""Haha, that's more like it." Jia Yin immediately beamed, causing everyone to laugh again.After eating the jade gourds and chatting for a while, Lü Zong and Jia Xu took their leav...
