Su Wenxuan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, I will also ask my father for help to see if any of the Xu, Yang, and Huang families have any descendants serving as officials in Yingzhou Prefecture."
With elders like this, the younger generation will follow suit.
If their descendants become officials, they will also be treacherous and cunning.
Su Wenxuan originally planned to return to his residence, but then he thought that he and his father almost always started arguing as soon as they met.
Let's go back to the village and find Mr. Zhou first.
They rode away on horseback.
With Judge Dee's cases, with poetry appreciation, with a beautiful woman, and with Judge Lu.
With Professor Xu's writings.
Zhou Yu finally got a day off.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw Su Wenxuan return.
He then took the books that Su Wenxuan had brought, especially the one titled "Poetry Appreciation" by a homebody.
Mr. Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up.
There was silence for a long time.
"What a pity! If this work were printed directly in the capital, it would surely become famous throughout the world. But if it were published in a small book like Lu, it would be destined to be buried."
A genius.
He almost single-handedly dissected all types of poetry, like a butcher carving bones out a pig, meticulously analyzing every detail.
A master of poetry.
However, Instructor Xu was somewhat jealous of talented people.
It's the act of a shameless person to slander such a talented individual.
I've looked into Professor Xu's works; they're full of pointless whining and quotations everywhere, and are hardly a good template for answering questions.
His book sales were, of course, not as good as Chen Xian's.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Just as Su Wenxuan was holding his breath and concentrating, Mr. Zhou began to write a letter by hand.
"Second brother, I am now teaching in Lushang Village, where there is a great sage."
Chen Xian was slandered by Xu, Yang, and Huang. As an official in charge of local affairs, you are paid by the emperor and should share his burdens.
These three individuals, supposed to be teachers and educators, have actually plagiarized, slandered talented individuals, and are unfit to be teachers.
The second letter.
Third brother, it's been a long time.
In Qingxia Village, I saw a talented man being slandered.
...
Now that you are an official in the capital, if possible, please help this person. He helps the villagers without expecting anything in return; he is truly a gentleman.
The third letter.
Brother Su, I already know about Chen Xian's matter.
Once my second brother has investigated and found that the descendants of the three families are indeed corrupt, I would appreciate your assistance in impeaching Xu, Yang, and Huang.
Su Wenxuan stood to the side, staring blankly. He had long heard that Mr. Zhou was no ordinary person and that his family members were quite accomplished.
I never expected it to be this strong.
Moreover, judging from the other party's seemingly unsatisfied appearance, it seems they haven't finished playing yet.
Zhou Yu said calmly, "Alright, dealing with a mere eighth or ninth-rank instructor would be too much of a hassle if there were too many people."
"Wenxuan, you're all set. Go find a reliable person to send these letters over by fast horse."
"Yes, sir."
