Zhou Yunshen felt that this method was a bit weak.
Those who bullied his family would be torn into pieces as if it were a piece of cake.
Jiang Shuyue changed the subject: [It's a shame that I still need them to bring down my scumbag father. I can't let that scumbag become the head of the division. If he becomes the boss of a bunch of bureaucrats, wouldn't it be very difficult to defeat him again?]
Zhou Yunshen was happy.
I didn't expect his wife to have such thoughts.
For a moment, he seemed to feel that his pampered little lady had grown up and knew how to worry about serious matters.
Jiang Wujie followed Jiang Shuyue's suggestion and turned the topic to Li Xinru and others.
"If a son does not teach his father, his son will do the same. But they said that both children were raised by my wife. I think it would be better to make them kneel in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion and slap them fifty times for three days."
"As for these two children, although they are children and have been punished, their behavior is too perverse and simply ridiculous. They should be taught a lesson."
"Considering they are still young, I want to hand them over to Master Lan."
Zhou Yunshen was easily chilled, but then a smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Shuyue: [Huahua, who is Master Lan? Why do I feel like my husband is so...gloating?]
Huahua: [That's the most pedantic and stubborn person in the Great Zhou! When the late emperor was selecting his imperial tutor, he had to choose between your grandfather and Master Lan. However, Master Lan had a fiery temper and was extremely powerful. He was completely inflexible and often drove the late emperor half to death.]
He also particularly enjoyed disciplining misbehaving students. Once, he disciplined a little bully, who immediately stood at attention upon seeing him. From then on, he became famous.
[The villain was fine with the Emperor at the time, but was hung up and beaten by Master Lan. When they went to release the bugs, Master Lan put salt in their tea.]
If the two of them dared to skip class, Master Lan would rush to the entertainment venue and publicly order ten ugly freaks to play with them. This old man is incredibly ruthless.
Zhou Yunshen really didn't want to think about Master Lan.
I took classes with him for a month, and I was beaten more times than he had in his entire life.
In other words, he couldn't win that year, otherwise he would have to compete with each other!
Master Lan and Liu Chengen were the two biggest nightmares of his youth!
Jiang Shuyue was a little excited: "So amazing! He sounds like a very good teacher, so why did my grandfather become the emperor's tutor?"
Huahua: [Isn't it because the Crown Prince is young and constantly drinking salt tea? What if he damages his tongue? And then there's the shoe inside the shoe, the caterpillar inside the sock. Master Lan is ruthless towards the Crown Prince. The late Emperor was afraid his son would be played to death, so he took over, leaving your grandfather to take over.]
【The old Prime Minister has been given a mission in a time of crisis! 】
From then on, Master Lan was nicknamed "Iron Head"! He was so bold as to offend even the emperor. The late emperor even gifted him a plaque, writing brushes, paper, and inkstone, saying he was honest and upright, and a role model for contemporary scholars and teachers.
Jiang Shuyue: [It's obviously a tactic to soothe people.]
Huahua: [That's right, but Master Lan is very honest and dedicated to his studies, so he was very happy to receive the title. He even opened a school with the help of the late emperor, which is second only to the Imperial Academy in status. Many students from poor families come from there.]
However, because it was a private school with limited funds, and Master Lan was unwilling to compromise the students' food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, he often harassed these officials, asking for a few taels of silver today, some cloth and clothes tomorrow, and some writing materials the day after tomorrow, often using various excuses to demand money.
[Just one of his granddaughters had two birthdays in six months, and your grandfather gave her three hundred taels each time, along with a curse-filled acrostic poem. Master Lan was also very happy. After all, he got the money, and your grandfather's family even gave lectures occasionally. He made a lot of money!]
Jiang Shuyue: [I see they're both enjoying themselves, one willing to fight the other. Wouldn't it be too much trouble for them to send these two troublemakers over? How about sending some gifts as well?]
Zhou Yunshen relaxed upon seeing this. "It's been a while since I've seen Master Lan. I've received a few days of instruction from him and haven't yet repaid him. Now I'm sending these two little bastards over to disturb his peace. I feel truly guilty."
"Your Majesty is right. Master Lan is a teacher that even the late emperor praised highly. Now that he has retired from the court, he is devoting himself to teaching the younger generation. His students are either great scholars or the breadwinners of their respective communities. It is a blessing for them to receive his guidance."
"I think it's reasonable for each of us to take 500 taels of silver as a reward for Master Lan's hard work."
Aunt Zhuang howled like a pig being slaughtered, wiping her tears and shouting, "Five hundred taels, why don't you just go and rob it? You're trying to kill me!"
"Oh, in that case, using your lives is the same."
A cold light flashed, and the steel knife was already on the necks of several people.
Qiye said coldly: "Anyone who insults the Marquis' Mansion will be executed!"
Several people were frightened in an instant, and water stains appeared on the stone slab under Aunt Zhuang's buttocks.
Jiang Shuyue turned her head away in disgust and pinched her nose.
She already smelled terrible, and now it was even more disgusting.
Wang Peng and Chen Yongwang also realized that something was wrong.
They originally thought that their cousin and aunt had the final say here, and it has always been so, but now the situation has really changed.
Their lives depend on the whim of Marquis Zhennan.
And Jiang Shuyue is the person who can influence him.
The two of them were extremely regretful at this time. If they had known earlier, they would not have said those words to the child. Now, they are reaping the consequences!
Wang Peng quickly said, "No, no, no, we are willing! Master Lan is a famous master of the time. It is a blessing for the two children to be taught by him. Not to mention five hundred taels, I would also be willing to pay five thousand taels!"
"Really? If so, take five thousand taels tomorrow."
"It just so happens that fifteen of Master Lan's disciples are taking the Spring Examination this year. Once they pass, more people will come to the academy, and the academy's expenses will increase. Your ten thousand taels will be a great help."
"Ten thousand taels?"
Jiang Wujie nodded and said, "Two children, five thousand taels each, a total of ten thousand taels. My Lord, the calculation is correct. What else do you have to say, cousin?"
With the knife at his neck, how could he possibly have any questions? How could he dare to have any questions?
Now he just wants to save his life!
Wang Peng and Chen Daming nodded quickly: "No problem, no problem at all, we will send the banknotes over tomorrow."
"Someone, take these two little beasts away."
"What do you mean, Lord? Didn't we agree on this?"
Zhou Yunshen kicked Chen Daming away and sneered, "I'm afraid something unexpected will happen tonight. If someone gets sick or dies, or if they're sent away overnight and refuse to pay, it will all be my fault. You can rest assured that they're in my hands."
Jiang Shuyue: "My family is one of the richest families in the Zhou Dynasty. Are you still worried that we will treat them unfairly?"
Faced with these people, they really had nothing to say.
Wang Peng could only grit his teeth and say, "Thank you, my Lord, thank you, Madam."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure!"
Wang Peng almost vomited blood.
Who the hell really thanked you? Can't you tell the difference between good and bad words?
