Chapter 1118 Happy Event
Manbao jumped off, and Daji drove the carriage around again and returned to the gate of the Imperial College.
Bai Shan and the others were already waiting there.
As soon as they got on the bus, Liu Huan and Yin Huo also squeezed in.
It was a bit crowded with five people in a car, so Bai Shan and the other two looked at Liu Huan and Yin Huo together.
Liu Huan looked around and asked, "What's the happy event?"
Yin Huo was also curious, so he pretended not to notice the three people's gazes.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang then looked at Manbao.
Manbao said happily: "Chen Fulin can't get promoted."
Liu Huan asked, "Who is Chen Fulin?"
Bai Shanze was surprised, "Why can't he be promoted?"
Manbao snorted and said, "I guess the Empress found out something and told the Emperor. The Emperor didn't like him, so he rejected the memorial for his promotion."
After that, she repeated what her aunt had said to her when she left the palace just now.
Liu Huan asked, "Who is this person? Does he have a grudge against you?"
Manbao snorted and said, "Yes, there is a grudge."
Bai Shan coughed lightly and said, "Actually, we are very generous people and don't hold grudges. It's just a small grudge, and we didn't do anything."
Manbao paused and nodded repeatedly, "That's right, we didn't do anything."
Yin Huo: ...Isn’t anything done even after they secretly complained about it?
Bai Shan lifted the curtain and looked at the sun outside. After estimating the time, he said, "It's getting late. You should go home."
Liu Huan refused to leave. "No, you have to tell me who Chen Fulin is and why he has a grudge against you? Hehehe, do you want to put him in a sack? Do you want my help?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and refused, "We don't do such illegal things."
"You're kidding me, didn't you guys beat up Zhang Jinghao?"
Bai Erlang looked up and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
Liu Huan was also surprised, "It really is you guys."
Yin Huo: ...
Manbao and Baishan couldn't help it, so they turned around, held down Bai Erlang and hit him several times each.
Liu Huan laughed heartily and said, "I heard people say privately that Zhang Jinghao had a facial injury earlier, most likely because of you guys beating him up. Zhang Jinghao also said it was you guys."
Manbao said seriously: "Nonsense, does he have any evidence?"
Bai Shan pointed at Yin Huo and said, "We had witnesses that day. We returned to the city together."
Yin Huo nodded. "Yes, we were together at the time. It's been so long, why is he still bringing it up?"
"He's been coming to our Imperial Academy quite often lately. Don't you know why?" Liu Huan lamented, "It's a pity I didn't know when you came to settle the score with him, otherwise I would have joined in the fun. I've never been sacked in my life."
Several people: ...
Bai Shan said seriously, "We don't put people in sacks, especially officials like Chen Fulin. Assaulting an official will result in a sentence."
Liu Huan was persistent. "Who is Chen Fulin?"
Bai Shan snorted coldly and said, "He's just a villain and a hypocrite."
"They're both villains and hypocrites. How bad is that?" Liu Huan asked. "Are they more villains or hypocrites?"
The three of them thought about it and felt a little sick when they thought of Chen Fulin's smiling face and his self-proclaimed gentle voice. They said in unison, "More hypocrites."
"That's even worse. What bad things did he do?"
Manbao glanced at Bai Shan, and seeing that he didn't stop him, he said, "He took our teacher's place in the Imperial College more than 20 years ago. Then, in order to prevent our teacher from taking the exam and becoming an examiner, he stole our teacher's poems and spread them before our teacher did."
"Our master has been blamed for his entire life," Bai Shan said coldly. "Last time we met, you were so hypocritical telling our master that everything that happened back then was just a misunderstanding. Humph, do you really think we're fools?"
Not to mention Liu Huan, even Yin Huo opened his mouth in surprise. He knew that they had a conflict with Chen Fulin, and he asked people to investigate Chen Fulin, but they only found that Chen Fulin occasionally said some inexplicable things outside, which he could not quite understand.
But now, combined with what they said, he immediately understood that Chen Fulin was trying to turn the tables.
Yin Huo hurriedly told them.
Bai Shan waved his hand and said, "Master had guessed this a long time ago, but he didn't allow us to interfere. He said he was still testing the waters and didn't dare to go too far. If we refute it, it will only fuel the rumor, which will be detrimental to what we are going to do."
Liu Huan touched a piece of dessert and asked curiously while eating, "What are you going to do?"
The three of them froze at the same time. Man Bao coughed lightly and said, "Famous? We don't have the evidence from back then. If this gets out, it will be bad for us to be famous in the capital."
"Oh~~" Liu Huan said meaningfully: "I remember now, you are now a famous little doctor in the capital. Tell me, do you pay for your reputation?"
"How do you know?"
"Of course I know. I've done this kind of thing for my eldest brother quite a bit. But how much did you spend? You actually became famous in the capital overnight."
Bai Shan held up two fingers.
Liu Huan's eyes widened. "Two thousand taels? You, you are so rich?"
Bai Shan said angrily: "No, guess again, I'm not stupid, who would spend two thousand taels to become famous?"
Manbao: "That reputation is just a fancy name. Two thousand taels can buy a shop."
Liu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "I was so scared! It turned out to be two hundred taels. Actually, it's not a lot. Who are you looking for? Can you introduce them to me?"
Bai Shan retracted his finger and looked at him doubtfully, "Two hundred taels, are you willing?"
Liu Huan looked puzzled. "Of course I would. Two hundred taels can make me famous overnight in the capital. Why wouldn't I want to? Every time my elder brother wins a good place in a competition or writes a good poem, I spend money to make him famous. I've spent two hundred taels in total, but he still hasn't become famous in the capital."
Bai Shan stared at his two fingers and whispered, "So we're taking advantage of it?"
Liu Huan asked: "What's cheap?"
"Nothing, but I didn't spend two hundred taels, I spent twenty taels."
Liu Huan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his arm and said, "Who is that person? Introduce him to me."
Bai Shan readily agreed, "No problem. Okay, it's getting late, you should get off the bus."
Liu Huan was tricked out of the carriage in a daze and almost forgot the question he asked first.
Yin Huo hadn't forgotten, but he didn't ask any more questions. He got out of the car with Man Bao and nodded, "Then we'll go back first. You guys should be careful too."
He said, "Scholars only seek fame, especially people like Chen Fulin. Be careful, he might become desperate and do something crazy."
Manbao and Baishan expressed their understanding and waved goodbye to them.
