Chapter 25 Is there any law left? (4000 words, two chapters in one)

In a small room next to the study, there were several children standing.

The three kids on the left had bruised faces and noses, especially the one named Xiong Haizhi, who had lost one of his front teeth and sounded like he was leaking air when he spoke.

Of the three children on the right, Xu Ming stood straight, Xu Pangda looked a little nervous, and Qin Qingwan raised her fair and proud chin, her little hands tightly grasping Xu Ming's sleeves, as if to say, "Who dares to touch my brother Ming!"

Sitting in front of the children were Mr. Xiao and the man in the dragon robe.

Xu Ming raised his head and looked at the man in the dragon robe for a few seconds.

The man always had a smile on his face.

Noticing Xu Ming's gaze, the man in the python robe nodded at Xu Ming.

If Xu Ming remembered correctly, in the "Wu Dynasty Code", the dragon robe was a kind of clothing bestowed by the emperor, and one had to wear a jade belt when wearing the dragon robe.

The dragon robe is similar to the dragon robe worn by the emperor. It was not originally an official uniform, but a special reward given to officials of the Wu Dynasty.

Receiving such gifts was considered a great honor.

This man's status is not low.

At least, this man was favored by the Emperor of Wu State.

"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, Brother Zihong. I didn't expect that you would see such a lively scene when you came here today." Xiao Mochen laughed angrily.

The man named Su Zihong shook his head and said, "Our Wu Dynasty was founded on military power. Not to mention the fists and feet between you guys, in the court, fighting often breaks out while talking. The more capable the officials are, the more they like to fight. This shows that you guys will be the pillars of Wu State in the future."

"Brother Zihong, you are still joking." Xiao Mochi smiled helplessly, shook his head, and looked at the kids, "Tell me, my friends, why did you fight?"

“.”

Several people were silent.

Xiao Mochi looked at Xu Ming, whom he admired the most: "Xu Ming, you speak first."

"." Xu Ming bowed and said, "Sir, I don't know either."

"Don't you know?" Xiao Mochi said with a smile, "You knocked out Haizhi and the others' teeth (the previous chapter "broken legs" was changed to "knocked out teeth", which does not affect the reading)."

"Sir, I did fight, but it was because my brother was being beaten. How could I just stand by and watch?" Xu Ming scratched his head, seemingly speaking righteously and innocently, "As for the reason, I really don't know."

Moreover, Xu Ming felt that he was really innocent. He had controlled the strength very well at that time. Their teeth were knocked out, probably because they needed to have their teeth replaced?

"That's right!" Qin Qingwan quickly agreed, "Although Xu Pangda is not familiar with us, Xu Pangda's sister is our best friend. How can we stand by and watch when Xue Nuo's brother is bullied?"

"Then Haizhi, tell me how it happened with Pangda."

"Who is it? Who hit my son?"

"Is there any law left?"

Just when Xiao Mochen was about to ask Xiong Haizhi and the others, three women walked in noisily.

Xiao Mochen and Su Zihong both frowned slightly.

"Mom, wow wow wow. Mom, my teeth are gone."

"Mom, I was kicked so far away"

"Mother, I almost can't see you anymore"

Seeing their mother coming, Xiong Haizhi, Li San and Wang Wu hurried over and hugged their mother's thighs.

The three ladies felt heartbroken when they saw their children with bruised and dusty faces and even missing front teeth.

"Don't worry, don't worry. No matter who hit you, mother will take care of it for you!" Mrs. Xiong, the wife of the Minister of War, touched her son's face.

"It's him!"

Xiong Haizhi and the other two pointed at Xu Ming.

"It wasn't Brother Ming who hit me. It was me who hit me!"

Xu Pangda swallowed, stood in front of Xu Ming with a pale face, and his legs were shaking.

Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan looked at Xu Pangda in surprise. They didn't expect Xu Pangda to be so responsible.

But don't let your legs shake.

"They started it first." Just as Qin Qingwan was about to step forward to argue, Xu Ming took Qin Qingwan's hand and stepped forward, "I was the one who hit them."

"You..." Mrs. Bear's chest rose and fell violently with anger, "Whose child are you?"

"Xu Guofu, the son of the fifth lady." Xu Ming said.

"Xu Guofu, Fifth Madam?" Madam Xiong thought for a moment, "You are just a bastard, who gave you the courage?"

As she said that, Mrs. Xiong walked forward and was about to slap Xu Ming.

Su Zihong frowned and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Mochen.

Just when Mrs. Xiong was about to slap Xu Ming and Xu Ming was about to dodge, Mrs. Xiong's slap was caught by a slender white hand.

Mrs. Bear looked up.

Before Mrs. Xiong could react, Wang Feng had already raised his other hand and slapped Mrs. Xiong in the face.

"Wang Feng! You! You dare to hit me?!" Mrs. Xiong was so angry that her face turned pale.

"I'm going to hit you." Wang Feng stood in front of Xu Ming, folded his hands in front of him, and looked at Madam Xiong coldly. "Madam Xiong is so arrogant that she dared to hit the children of my Xu Mansion. Do you really think that there is no one in my Xu Mansion? I will ask my brother to report to His Majesty and ask how Lord Xiong treats his wife and children! He even beats a five-year-old child!"

"you"

Mrs. Bear's face turned pale and blue.

Although Wang Feng's father was dismissed from office, her brother was still in the court and served as the Chief Censor. If her husband was bitten by those dogs in the Censorate, she would be in big trouble. "Madam Wang! We are reasonable people. Our child was beaten like this. Shouldn't you give an explanation?!" Madam Li stepped forward and said, also to give Madam Xiong a way out.

Wang Feng frowned slightly, turned his head, glanced at Xu Ming and Xu Pangda behind him, and looked inquiringly.

Xu Ming also looked at Xu Pangda.

Xu Ming really didn't know why the fight broke out.

Logically speaking, based on my understanding of Xu Pangda over the past few days, his personality is actually quite soft and he doesn't easily come into conflict with others.

But Xu Pangda just lowered his head and said nothing.

Wang Feng looked at Xiong Haizhi and the other two. The three children lowered their heads at once, looking very guilty and not daring to say anything.

"How about this?"

Xiao Mochen also found something wrong. The reason why these kids were fighting was probably not something that could be made public.

"It's already noon, and the ladies and children haven't eaten yet. Ladies, please take the children home first. What happened today was my negligence. I will definitely give you ladies an explanation. Mo Chi apologizes to you ladies."

As he spoke, Xiao Mochen stood up and bowed to apologize to the few people.

Mrs. Xiong and the others were shocked and said quickly, "Sir, what are you talking about? Since you said so, then we believe you."

"We also believe in your fairness, sir."

"It's probably not a big deal for a child. Let's go back first."

Others also spoke up quickly.

Although Xiao Mochen has not held any official position so far, Mrs. Xiong and the others have heard from their husbands how popular this gentleman is. If they don't retire now, it will leave a very bad impact.

Not to mention that there was a man in a dragon robe beside Mr. Xiao. I really didn't dare to make a scene.

Mrs. Xiong took a last look at Wang Feng and the others, said goodbye to Xiao Mochen, and left the school with her children.

Wang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and bowed to Xiao Mochi: "Sorry to bother you with today's matter, sir."

Xiao Mochi shook his head: "Madam, that's not right. It's all my negligence. I will go to your mansions to apologize later."

"Sir, you are too kind." Wang Feng nodded, "Then I will take my rebellious son and leave first."

Xiao Mochi: "Madam, take care."

Wang Feng glanced at Xu Pangda, Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan, and motioned for them to follow her.

"Xu Ming, please stay here first. The teacher has something to ask you." Just when Xu Ming was about to leave with Wang Feng, Xiao Mochen shouted.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Wang Feng turned around and bowed, saying, "Sir, Ming'er is still young, I don't know Ming'er."

Xiao Mochi smiled and shook his head: "Madam, you are worrying too much. I just have some questions that I want to ask Brother Xu Ming. I have no other intentions."

Wang Feng glanced at Xu Ming with some concern.

Xu Ming: "Auntie, please take Pangda and Qingwan back first. I know the way."

"Okay." Wang Feng nodded. "Your mother doesn't know about this yet, so I won't tell her yet. You can explain it to her when you go back."

Xu Ming nodded: "Thank you, Auntie."

Qin Qingwan still wanted to stay and be with her brother Ming, but was finally pulled away by Wang Feng.

"gentlemen."

After everyone left, only Xu Ming was left and he bowed to Xiao Mochi.

"Xu Ming, I heard that before you fought Xiong Haizhi and the others, you said, 'They are all officials from the Ministry of War, so it will be easy.' What did you mean by this?" Xiao Mochen asked with a smile.

"Sir, according to the Wu Kingdom Code, all positions in the Ministry of War are obtained through fighting on the battlefield. Without military merit, one cannot hold a position in the Ministry of War.

Ming had even heard from Madam Qin that the sons of all officials in the Ministry of War must learn martial arts. The Ministry of War's style is to speak with fists. If a child is beaten and cries, it is his incompetence.

Ming admired the straightforward style of the military department. He believed that even if Ming injured the children of the Shangshu and the two assistant ministers, they would not blame him, and would not cause trouble for Ming's mother, otherwise he would be laughed at by the people in the court."

"Hahaha." Su Zihong laughed and said, "It's just as you said. When they heard that their son was beaten, they didn't dare to bother you. Otherwise, they would be bullying the weak and the civil servants in the court would laugh at them. They can't afford to lose face. But you are only five years old, how come you are so precocious?"

"Ming just thought a little too much." Xu Ming said.

The more Xiao Mochen looked at Xu Ming, the more he liked him. He always felt that Xu Ming had a natural literary temperament.

This kind of temperament would be very popular among civil servants in the court.

It's a pity that such a child has to be a bastard? Xu's family.

Xu Pangda followed his mother into his yard.

Wang Feng walked very fast.

Xu Pangda had to run a few steps for every few steps he walked so that he could keep up.

Xu Pangda glanced at his mother's profile.

My mother's face was very cold.

Xu Pangda's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he was going to suffer. After returning to the courtyard, Wang Feng closed the gate, turned around, and looked at Xu Pangda coldly: "Kneel down!"

Xu Pangda did not dare to disobey his mother. He put down the small bookcase, knelt in front of his mother, and lowered his fat head.

Wang Feng picked up a branch and hit Xu Pangda on the body, scolding him as he hit him: "I told you to go study! You go fight! What are you fighting for? Who can you beat? Fight!

Let you fight!"

The branches hit Xu Pangda again and again, and Wang Feng's tears dripped as he hit him.

"Mother, I'm sorry."

"Mother, I'm sorry."

"Wow, I'm sorry, mother."

Xu Pangda was in so much pain that tears fell to the ground, but he did not beg for mercy. Instead, he kept apologizing to his mother.

After hitting me seven or eight times, Wang Feng wiped away her tears and said, "Mother asks you, do you know you are wrong?"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but Pangda is not wrong," Xu Pangda choked.

"You're not wrong? You don't even know you're wrong!"

Wang Feng picked up the branch again and hit Xu Pangda again and again.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"Ponda is right."

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"Ponda is right, woooo, woooo, Ponda is right."

"You..." Wang Feng was so angry that his chest heaved, and he threw the branch next to Xu Pangda, "How can you be right!"

"They can scold Pangda, but they can't scold mother! Pangda is not wrong and Pangda won't admit his mistake." Xu Pangda cried with snot running down his nose, and the bloodstains under his clothes were burning with pain.

Wang Feng stood there in a daze, staring blankly at her child. Xu Pangda wiped his snot and tears, sobbing intermittently:

"They said that mother was useless and could not even compare to the concubines. They said that mother would be driven out of the Xu residence sooner or later. They said that my sister was promising but it had nothing to do with mother. They said that mother deserved to be ignored.

It’s all useless, it’s all useless, there’s no way to practice.

Pang Dalian couldn't even read well, and his poems were laughed at by others.

It’s all because of Pangda’s uselessness. He was sleepy in class and couldn’t understand what the teacher was teaching.

It’s all because Pangda couldn’t get the title, and it’s all because of mother being scolded. Mother, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Mother”

Wang Feng listened to the child's explanation and looked at the child crying. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away and sat down heavily on the ground. No wonder Mr. Xiao asked why her child didn't tell so many people. Wang Feng looked at her hands and the child kneeling in front of her, thinking of Pang Da's inability to get the hereditary title and her own neglect of him. Was it for Pang Da or for her own vanity? "What am I doing!"

Wang Feng raised his hand and slapped himself hard in the face again and again.

"What am I doing!"

"What on earth am I doing!!!"

[These past two days have all been long chapters of 4,000 words. Originally, I wanted to publish them in two chapters of 2,000 words each, but as I was writing, I didn't know where to end it, and it seemed like no chapter would be appropriate, so I just published two chapters together.

During the free period, the number of words updated every day is 4,000. I will see if I can update more after the game is launched. 】
