Chapter 740 Fighting Spirit
Mr. Zhai certainly did not believe what Wei Ting said, but he would not let the school officials punish his students.
So he said nothing in the classroom, but as soon as he returned to the classroom, he called Wei Ting to the front, asked him to turn his back to the class, and then said to the whole class: "Those who climbed the wall with Wei Ting to skip class yesterday, please stand up."
None of the students in the class dared to move.
Mr. Zhai narrowed his eyes, knocked on the table and said, "I'll give you half a quarter of an hour. If no one stands up, I will treat this as Wei Ting's sole act and punish him severely. Think it over carefully."
After saying that, he closed his eyes slightly.
The students sitting in the hall blinked and couldn't help but look at Bai Shan, wondering whether what Mr. Zhai said was true or false.
Bai Shan thought about it and felt that Mr. Zhai would not lie, so he nodded slightly to them.
The four people who ran away yesterday looked at each other and stood up from their chairs tremblingly.
Mr. Zhai opened his eyes and looked at them. He glanced around the class and nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. One month's hygiene in Dongyuan and twenty articles of the Fuxue rules. I want them in one month."
The students wailed, but no one dared to object in front of Mr. Zhai.
Mr. Zhai then asked Wei Ting to turn back and said to him, "You should also copy the rules twenty times."
Wei Ting glared and shouted, "Sir, why did you increase the punishment? I was only supposed to sweep the East Garden."
Mr. Zhai said calmly, "I've given you four more people to help you clean the East Garden. Isn't that a relief? You were supposed to copy the rules twenty times anyway. If they don't step up, then you won't just have to copy the rules twenty times. Get out of here!"
Wei Ting walked down with his head hung.
Mr. Zhai gave them a half-day lesson on ideology and morality, especially focusing on Wei Ting and Bai Shan. He said, "In just over a month, the provincial school will hold its year-end exams. Whether you can stay in Class A3, or even advance further, depends on your results in this exam. And now you're still thinking about going out to eat, drink, and have fun all day..."
Mr. Zhai gave them a lecture and talked to Wei Ting alone after class, asking him to stay out of government affairs.
"You're still just students at the prefectural academy. You should listen more and talk less. It's fine for you to just know that Chang Changshi has been demoted. There's nothing wrong with discussing it with your classmates. But you actually went out and celebrated wildly. Did you think the Ji Hao incident wasn't a big enough fuss, and you wanted to add fuel to the fire?"
Wei Ting lowered his head and dared not speak.
Mr. Zhai scolded him and said, "It's okay for you to act recklessly, but you even brought Bai Shan with you. How old is he? His family has no power or influence. Even if the Chang family wants to leave, dealing with him is like pinching an ant. You are fearless, so what will he do?"
Wei Ting lowered his head and whispered, "Hasn't he cleared himself of all charges?"
"Is this kind of thing picked cleanly?"
Wei Ting stopped talking.
Mr. Zhai waved his hand tiredly and said, "Go back. I tell you, if you rank lower than 60, I will definitely not protect you. Go to Class B."
Wei Ting was startled and ran back with his neck shrunk.
When the classmates in the classroom saw him coming back, they surrounded him and asked, "How was it? How was it? Did the teacher scold you harshly?"
"Can't you see my face is covered in saliva? Don't you think it's fierce?" Wei Ting pushed aside his classmates, glanced at Bai Shan who was standing next to him, and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."
Bai Shan said calmly: "No need to be sorry."
Because he didn't know whether it was Wei Ting who implicated him, or he who implicated Wei Ting and the others.
He dared to bet that if he, Man Bao and Bai Er were not among them yesterday, County Magistrate Tang would not have gone to file a complaint.
So this matter...can only rot in my stomach.
The classmates in Class A3 patted Bai Shan's shoulders like brothers to show their friendship.
Although he blamed everything on Wei Ting after the incident, Wei Ting was just a person who never liked to have too many lice on his head.
Everyone understands this.
Seeing their expressions, Wei Ting couldn't help but shout, "You all know that you put the blame on me, so why did you come out and admit your mistake just now?"
Someone looked at Bai Shan and said, "Bai Shan asked us to do this. Aren't we worried that the master will really punish you severely?"
"That's just to scare you. They can't beat me or fire me anyway. How serious can it be?"
"Yes, we shouldn't have come out! Bai Shan, this is your fault. You have to be responsible for us. You can write well, so just copy the rules for us."
Bai Shan, who was sitting at the table, rolled his eyes rudely. Song Zheng, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but explain for him: "You should thank him. Do you really think the master can't find out about you?"
"It's probably because the academic officer is too bothered and wants to take a shortcut and get confessions directly from Wei Ting and Bai Shan. Otherwise, we can take the portraits of the twenty people in our class to Ganxianglou and have the waiter identify them. No, I'm afraid we don't even need portraits. We can just ask the waiter a few more questions and he'll naturally find out. Who among you hasn't eaten at Ganxianglou?"
Everyone shuddered.
Song Zheng said, "The school officials find it troublesome, but our teacher doesn't. If you don't admit it now, once he finds out, it won't be as easy as making you sweep the floor and copy the rules."
Everyone slumped their shoulders, accepting the matter.
"But, Bai Shan, we brothers share the good and the bad. Why don't you come with us to clean the East Garden after school?" One more person means less work.
Bai Shan said: "No!"
"You just copied the rules ten times and you finished them quickly, so just help us."
Bai Shan said, "The exam is coming up. I need to study hard and try to get a good rank."
Wei Ting was stunned and asked, "No way, you want to leave our class?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "If you do well in the exam, you don't have to leave, but if you don't do well, you must leave."
Song Zheng also felt a sense of urgency and nodded, "That's right, if you got first place, you can stay in Class A3 if you don't want to go to Class A1. But if you got 61st, you have to go to Class B if you want to stay here."
Everyone shuddered and immediately dispersed to take out books to read.
Bai Shan saw that the surroundings were finally quiet and smiled with satisfaction.
Song Zheng turned his head to look at him and said with a smile, "Your two friends haven't dared to come to school to study these days, right?"
Bai Shan snorted. Manbao and the others were not that brave, so they naturally didn't dare to commit a crime and sneaked in to read at this time.
Song Zheng said, "Students of the prefectural school who place in the top 20 will have the right to borrow books from the library in their second year. These are books that can be borrowed from the library. They can take out up to three books at a time, and the maximum period of possession is one month."
Bai Shan thanked him and said, "Thank you very much."
Song Zheng smiled slightly, "You're welcome."
He also wanted to know what place Bai Shan would get in the exam.
The next update will be around 9pm
