Chapter 738: Nothing to do after eating (Updated on 10.02)
Bai Shan's face turned cold. Man Bao stood in front of him unhappily, bowed slightly to the Hexue official, and said seriously, "Sir, how can you point your finger at students? They were invited by Wei Ting. If you want to know, just ask Wei Ting."
Wei Ting, who was about to sneak out: ...
He is really disloyal.
He Xueguan certainly knew, but he didn't believe that Bai Shan didn't know who they were. Between Bai Shan and Wei Ting, in his heart, it was obviously Bai Shan's mouth that was easier to pry open.
He also has more means at his disposal.
He glared at Manbao unhappily and said, "I'm interrogating students from my own school. Please stay aside."
He can ask whoever he wants, why should she care?
Manbao lowered his head and glared at Wei Ting who was squatting beside him.
Under her intense gaze, Wei Ting could only stand up and say, "Sir, Bai Shan really doesn't know who they are. You know, Bai Shan is never talkative at school. How could he recognize those people?"
Bai Shan thought Wei Ting was a bit stupid and rolled his eyes, reminding him, "That's right, sir. I don't know them, and I've never seen them before. I don't even know if they are students in the school. Wei Ting just said that some of his friends introduced them to me, so I came here."
Wei Ting looked at Bai Shan blankly.
Manbao nodded repeatedly and continued, "We just walked in and haven't had time to introduce ourselves to each other when you show up."
Bai Erlang said, "If you had come half an hour later and asked us now, we would probably know."
Wei Ting realized it belatedly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, they are not students of the school at all. They are my friends outside. One is called Ding Qing, the other is called Jiang Min..."
He was talking about all his bad friends. He was not afraid even if the school officials came to find them, because they would definitely testify for him.
The school official was furious and yelled at them, "Do I look like a fool? If they are not students of the prefectural school, why are they running away?"
Wei Ting choked.
Manbao asked doubtfully, "Yeah, why are they running?"
Bai Shan said: "Maybe he was scared. After all, he looks a little stupid."
Bai Erlang gloated, "Officer He, if you can just catch them and ask them, you'll know."
Wei Ting looked at the three people with admiration and thought they were very courageous.
The school official was furious. He couldn't do anything about Bai Erlang and Manbao, so he pointed at Bai Shan and said, "Do you know what the crime is for inducing classmates to skip school?"
Bai Shan immediately said seriously: "Sir, I didn't seduce Wei Ting. It was Wei Ting who invited me here. And he said that he had asked for leave from you. If you don't believe me, ask him."
Under the gaze of the school official, Wei Ting reluctantly nodded and said with a sad face, "...Yes!"
He couldn't escape anyway, so he'd better take off as many as he could.
Wei Ting gritted his teeth secretly, and this was the only way to comfort himself.
He Xueguan looked at Wei Ting, then at Bai Shan, and was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He pointed at the two of them and said to the guards: "Catch them both and take them back. I don't believe that we can't find out the truth."
Outside the door, County Magistrate Yang frowned and looked at County Magistrate Tang. "He doesn't look very smart. Why didn't you choose a better academic officer for your attendant?"
County Magistrate Tang: ...
He glanced at County Magistrate Yang, coughed lightly, and knocked on the door of the private room.
Seeing County Magistrate Tang standing outside the door, the school official barely regained his sanity.
"And the school officer," County Magistrate Tang said, "the students are just skipping school to eat. It's already after school, and it's not class time. Punish them and scold them as needed. Just follow the rules. They're still young, so just don't scare them."
The school official bowed his head and replied, "Yes."
County Magistrate Tang walked to the window and looked down. Seeing the empty space under the window, he couldn't help but blink. Are children nowadays so smart?
Can you jump down from the second floor without blinking?
County Magistrate Tang retracted his gaze and smiled at the Hexue official, "Alright, I won't bother you with your teaching. By the way, these two aren't students of the prefectural school. Do you want me to take them away for you?"
Manbao and Bai Erlang looked at each other and shook their heads together, saying, "No need, Master Tang. We know the way home."
After saying that, they held Bai Shan on the left and right and saluted He Xueguan, "He Xueguan, we will go home first."
After saying that, he pushed Bai Shan and was about to leave.
The school official tried to stop them, but Bai Shan turned around and said, "The food on the table hasn't been eaten yet. Wei Ting, you agreed to treat us, remember to pay the bill."
Man Bao said, "Wei Ting, take care of yourself. Don't worry, we will tell your family and ask them to go to the government school to plead for you."
Wei Ting: "Don't, don't go..."
Before he finished speaking, the three of them had already hurried out of the private room while talking, and disappeared without saying a word to the student.
When he chased out, the person had disappeared. He could only stamp his feet, go back and salute County Magistrate Tang, and then ask two guards to escort Wei Ting back to the provincial school.
County Magistrate Tang watched them walk down the stairs and then walked into his private room with his hands behind his back. He saw three young boys and girls sitting on chairs drinking tea to calm their nerves.
County Magistrate Tang found a seat and sat down, then asked with a smile, "Why did you skip school? Just to have a meal?"
Man Bao said, "That's right. To celebrate our having been a knife, we managed to cut someone without bending the blade, and we were able to retreat safely, hiding our merit and fame."
County Magistrate Tang spat out the tea in his mouth and started coughing.
Manbao laughed when he saw it.
County Magistrate Yang was also happy, and he even reached out and picked up the teapot to pour her a cup of tea as a token of his appreciation.
Manbao took the tea, drank it happily, and asked, "Master Yang, why are you here in Yizhou City?"
Yang Heshu glanced at County Magistrate Tang and said, "I accidentally became a shield, so I came to see the person holding the shield."
Manbao looked at him sympathetically for a moment, "And then?"
Yang Heshu looked down at him and smiled, "Then I felt that this man was getting uglier and uglier. It really is true that doing too many bad things affects his appearance."
Manbao couldn't help but high-five him, and then they both looked at County Magistrate Tang.
County Magistrate Tang rubbed his forehead, turned to look at Bai Shan, and changed the subject: "You and the school officials seem to be targeting you. Will you be punished when you go to school tomorrow?"
Bai Shan said: "Fortunately, my teacher is Zhai Xueguan. As long as he doesn't take me back to the prefectural school right now, he won't be able to control me."
This is also the reason why he dared to run.
"But I'm more curious about how Officer He knew we were having dinner at Ganxianglou?" Bai Shan frowned and said, "We were very careful when we slipped out, so no one saw us."
County Magistrate Tang lowered his head to drink tea, pretending not to hear his question.
Manbao said: "When you go to school tomorrow, just ask the gatekeeper and you'll know.
Bai Shan nodded. "That's right. Since he didn't catch us red-handed, he obviously didn't find us climbing the wall in the academy. Most likely, we ran into someone we knew after we got out, and someone went to complain. Then we can ask the doorman and we'll know who did it."
Bai Erlang followed up angrily, "Really? School's over now, what's wrong with skipping? Who would go and complain when they have nothing to do after eating?"
Yang Heshu laughed heartily, clapping his hands and saying, "That's right! Who has so much free time? Nothing to do after eating?"
County Magistrate Tang: ...
Good night
