"Speaking of which, I've met your grandfather a few times; we're old acquaintances!"
Then his gaze sharpened, "Then today I'll teach you a lesson on his behalf, you little brat!"
After saying that, he made a lightning-fast move and grabbed Wu Pin's collar again, almost scaring Wu Pin to death.
"What...what are you doing?"
Jing Zhe pointed to the stains Wu Pin had spat on his robe and trousers and said coldly, "Wipe them clean for me, with your face!"
"..."
"President Jing, you mustn't!"
Just then, voices could be heard outside the door.
Appearing at the door were Hanlin Academician Song Baiyun and an official from the Ministry of Personnel who had come to deliver an imperial edict.
In the morning, this official from the Ministry of Personnel encountered Song Baiyun at the gate of the Imperial Academy. Song Baiyun told him that Jing Zhe had not yet arrived to take office, so there was no need to rush to announce the imperial decree.
Because Jing Zhe was now a favorite of Emperor An, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel didn't pay much attention and followed Song Baiyun into the Imperial Academy, where they chatted for a while.
In fact, Song Baiyun's real purpose was to deliberately delay Jing Zhe's arrival to deliver the imperial decree, hoping that Wu Pin and the other idle scholars would make things difficult for Jing Zhe and also see his pathetic state.
Now, Jing Zhe didn't suffer any hardship; instead, he taught Wu Pin a lesson, giving him a headache.
Seeing the mess inside the room, the official from the Ministry of Personnel felt it was not a good place to stay, so he hurriedly finished announcing the decree and left. In fact, there was no need for him to announce it; everyone already knew Jing Zhe's new identity.
After the Ministry of Personnel officials left, Jing Zhe turned back to look at Song Baiyun and said coldly, "Grand Scholar Song, have the rules here always been this bad? It seems that by taking them all under my wing, I've cleaned up your mess. You'd better thank me properly!"
Song Baiyun was speechless. Why did such a talented man speak so crudely and vulgarly?
"But that's alright. If they have no rules, then I'll set some rules for them!"
After saying that, Jing Zhe used force to force Wu Pin to kneel on the ground, his tone icy, each word distinct.
"Clean it up for me!"
"..."
