Chapter 252 Dapeng's Death

It’s wonderful. It’s really wonderful.

In addition to "Xiao Yao You", she also wrote "Li Sao".

I didn't expect to use it so soon.

Is it because Qin Huaishu knows Dong Jingwen too well, or is it just a coincidence?

Chu Yian really couldn't say for sure, so he decided to ask after he got back.

Qu Shuyang handed the paper in his hand to the manager of Zhuangyuan Building.

The steward opened it and read aloud: "I sigh deeply and wipe away my tears, mourning the hardships of people's lives..."

"What circle can truly encompass all things? How can those with different paths coexist in peace? Bending one's heart and suppressing one's will..."

"gentlemen!"

The steward had not yet finished reading "Li Sao" when a sudden cry of grief came from outside, abruptly interrupting the steward's words.

Everyone turned their heads to look towards the source of the sound.

Qu Shuyang's face changed drastically and he stood up suddenly.

Then a man in white ran in from the gate, knelt in front of Qu Shuyang, and said in great sorrow: "Mr. Qu, Mr. Dapeng... is gone."

Qu Shuyang's feet staggered and she almost lost her balance, tears falling down.

He looked outside, and without caring about anything else, he ran out quickly.

The man in white knelt on the ground with a look of grief on his face. He tore off the hem of his clothes and put them on his head, then stood up and ran out.

This sudden scene stunned everyone present, and the students who reacted quickly ran out.

When these people ran, the people around them also ran.

But in the blink of an eye, the only people left in the Zhuangyuan Building were the group of great scholars and those who had not had time to go down from the private rooms upstairs.

All the changes happened in just a moment.

It was so fast that Dong Jingwen didn't even react.

He didn't even have time to ask a serious question...

It was intentional, absolutely intentional!

Dong Jingwen opened his eyes wide, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face turned pale.

It was already difficult for him to turn things around today, and Dapeng's death would completely crush him, and he would never be able to turn things around again.

The fame and status that had been built up with so much effort over so many years vanished in one day.

Dong Jingwen's whole body began to tremble, his eyes widened, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down.

Steward: ...

What happened today?

The manager closed his eyes and immediately arranged for someone to carry Dong Jingwen away.

But everyone's attention was focused outside, and not many people noticed him.

Chu Yian's scalp was tingling as he watched from upstairs. Things were happening too closely and he was so nervous that he didn't even notice when he grabbed Qin Rang's sleeve.

There was a vibration sound coming from the ground, and many people in the private rooms on the second and third floors ran downstairs.

Dapeng died at the Hongmen Banquet held today specifically for him.

Dong Jingwen cannot escape responsibility, Zhuangyuanlou cannot escape responsibility, and all the great scholars cannot escape responsibility.

Dapeng actually doesn't have to die now. He can go back and die, he can die tomorrow, he can die at any time.

But he died now.

Maybe it’s not that his body can’t hold on, but that he has a reason to die now.

Qin Huaishu's plan left Dong Jingwen no chance to turn things around.

Dong Jingwen still wanted to consolidate his position by overthrowing Dapeng's identity, but this path was blocked from the beginning in Qin Huaishu's plan.

This time, Chu Yian really felt the horror of Qin Huaishu.

The elder brother, who is usually gentle and tolerant, is ruthless when dealing with his enemies.

Dong Jingwen is just an academic, and although he occasionally dabbles in politics, how can he compare with Qin Huaishu, who is completely involved in politics?

Qin Rang tugged at his sleeves and said, "You've wrinkled my clothes. Let go."

Chu Yian came back to his senses and quickly let go of his sleeve: "Do you want to go down and take a look? They have all gone down."

Qin Rang straightened his poor sleeves and said, "If you want to go, go ahead."

Chu Yian didn't hesitate, opened the door and ran away.

Qin Rang: ...

Qin Rang tutted his words and looked at the motionless Qi Ze: "Your Highness the Fourth Prince is not going?"

Qi Ze shook his head, and a strange look flashed in his calm eyes.

The game between Dong Jingwen and Dapeng is over.

Dapeng, who thought his way was blocked, blocked Dong Jingwen's way in return.

The excitement of today's game far exceeds the issue they want to debate.

Dapeng is indeed not an ordinary person.

The two of them only chatted for a few words when Chu Yian ran downstairs.

Qi Ze frowned: "Running so fast, it's really a big deal to watch the fun."

Qin Rang chuckled and walked out: "Please forgive the child's temper. Since the Fourth Prince is not going, I will go first."

After saying that, he went downstairs quickly.

When we came out of Zhuangyuan Building, the road outside was already blocked by students.

Chu Yian ran to several places but couldn't see what was happening in the middle. He was so anxious that he almost climbed up the tree nearby.

Qin Huaishu, who saw this scene from afar, said: ...

Qin Huaishu raised the corner of his lips. From where he was standing, he could see the scene downstairs.

Qu Shuyang knelt in front of Dapeng's sedan chair and cried bitterly. The four men in white clothes had white cloths on their foreheads and knelt behind Qu Shuyang.

Everything is just right.

The emperor stood in front of him in his casual clothes, his brows furrowed as he watched the farce downstairs.

Although he tried his best to ignore it, he could still see Chu Yian jumping up and down.

It was obvious that she really wanted to find a good place where she could see the excitement, but she ran around everywhere but couldn't find one.

The emperor closed his eyes, trying to ignore her, and asked Qin Huaishu: "Do you think he is really Dapeng?"

Qin Huaishu shook his head: "I don't think so."

The emperor didn't ask why, he didn't think so either.

Dong Jingwen tricked Dapeng, but Dapeng counterattacked and made him vomit blood. From then on, his reputation was completely ruined.

And Dapeng can continue to write books because of Qu Shuyang.

Mr. Dapeng... is really good at calculating.

The emperor stood by the window and watched the farce downstairs for a long time.

Only after Dapeng was carried away by several disciples did he turn around and say, "Let's go back to the palace."

Qin Huaishu glanced downstairs from a distance, then retracted his gaze and followed the emperor.

Chu Yian didn't enjoy the fun and didn't plan to continue watching.

Decided to wait for Qin Huaishu to come back and ask him.

But with so many students following behind him, I don’t know if Qu Shuyang has thought about the follow-up arrangements.

If this person is not arranged properly, it will be a bomb.

However, Chu Yian believed in Qin Huaishu. This man was a black sesame dumpling and would not leave any hidden dangers for himself.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Qin Rang glanced at her and lowered his voice: "So happy? If someone didn't know, they would think you were in a good mood."

Chu Yian quickly put away the smile on his face, revealing a trace of sadness: "Dapeng is dead, I am so sad."

Qin Rang: ...

"Why did those people force her like this? If it weren't for those people forcing her, he might have been able to hold on for a while longer."

Everyone around who heard her voice fell silent and looked towards the Zhuangyuan Building.

But there are not many people left, and most of them are not interested in joining in the fun.

Qin Rang sighed: "Let's go back home."

Chu Yian nodded, waited for the servants to bring the carriage, and got in to return home.

Arriving at the Duke's Mansion, she dismounted and walked inside.

Qin Rang followed behind her and looked at the man's back.

After a long while, he suddenly asked, "Are you and the eldest and third brothers hiding something from me?"
