Li Yu suddenly became silent and shrank aside silently.
Fang Zhengyi pressed him, "Tell me, how many lies have you told me? If you don't explain yourself today, forget about going home."
Fang Chenyu's bottom was red, tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted, "Why did you hit me? I didn't lie! Who said I ranked last in the exam? My name was clearly written on the paper!"
"Also, I didn't lie about betting on football. I didn't say it was a sure win. Those people wanted to bet on it. If they lost, it's their own fault. It's their own fault! It has nothing to do with me... I did all this to help you pay off your debt! Dad, our family doesn't need to be in debt anymore. I did nothing wrong!"
"You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?"
Fang Zheng was furious, stepped forward, swung his belt and joined Li Yuanzhao.
The two began to play men's doubles.
For a moment, Fang Chenyu was hanging on the swing and was spinning around like a top, being whipped by the two men.
After only two or three hits, Fang Chenyu started crying loudly.
Hearing the crying, Fang Zhengyi felt very uncomfortable, but he still said stiffly: "Pay off the debt? There is no need for your family to pay off the debt. Your father and I can make more than 100,000 taels of silver!"
"I am beating you today because I hate you for harming the people!"
"Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver... That's the wealth of many people. You set up scams and deceived others' trust again and again... Do you think that your last prediction won, so it's not considered a scam? Now it seems that it's a good thing to be wrong, so that you won't go astray. If I don't beat you today, I don't know how many people you will kill in the future!"
"Secondly... you, a bastard, actually coerced and bribed your classmates, cheated on the exam, and told lies! Can these little tricks deceive you for a while, but can they deceive you forever? Didn't I teach you to lie since you were a child?"
Fang Chenyu cried, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. Dad, you were the first one to lie... In your book, Cao Pinuo lied about having a pig nose and lied about not having one at all. I've tried it before."
"Shut up!" Fang Zheng was furious. Seeing Fang Chenyu's butt had turned red, he threw his belt to the ground fiercely. "I'll deal with you when we get home tonight!"
Li Yuanzhao also stopped his actions upon seeing this, hinted to Fang Zheng, and pointed at Li Yu, eager to try.
The beating is almost over, it’s my son’s turn.
Fang Zhengyi turned around and walked towards Li Yu, saying seriously, "Your Highness, it's your turn."
"Beast! Kneel down and listen!" Li Yuanzhao shouted and stood in front of Li Yu.
Li Yu fell to his knees with a thud, his expression dejected.
It looks like there is no way to escape from this beating today...
Fang Zheng put his hands behind his back and said disappointedly, "You set up a trap to deceive the people. As an accomplice, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
"I don't know." Li Yu said in a muffled voice.
"Humph! Gambling is the most harmful thing in the world. As the grandson of the emperor, you don't set a good example for the people of the world, but take the lead in leading the people to gamble. How will the court officials look at you in the future!"
"Let's not talk about the distant past. Do you have any idea how many people you have cheated out of these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?!" Fang Zheng paced back and forth, but his eyes were always fixed on Li Yu.
"Behind your two small actions, hundreds of thousands of people are busy! Recovering the silver, verifying the situation, and comforting the people... The manpower and resources wasted during this period will affect others who are not involved. Maybe in just two or three days, someone will lose their life because of the stupid things you two did."
"You are simply lawless!"
"Lawlessness!" Li Yuanzhao echoed loudly.
Li Yu lowered his head deeply.
I'm not scared, I'm just impressed by this unreliable father...
Fang Zhengyi squatted down, put one hand on Li Yu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, as the grandson of the emperor, you should act like a grandson of the emperor!"
"To deceive one's father is disloyalty, and to betray one's friends is injustice!"
Didn't you force me to ask this? How come I'm the one who betrayed my friend now?
Li Yu raised his head and opened his mouth, but seeing Li Yuanzhao staring at him, he quickly lowered his head again.
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Highness, you must think one step further than others in everything you do in the future. Otherwise, how can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world?"
"People are divided into several levels. The first-class people have strong thinking and action abilities. The second-class people have strong thinking abilities but weak action abilities. The third-class people have weak thinking abilities and weak action abilities. Based on what you have done before, do you know which level you are?"
Li Yu shook his head silently.
"You are fourth-class!" Fang Zheng said earnestly, "You have strong action ability but weak thinking ability. To put it more seriously, you just don't use your brain when doing things!"
"I don't know how much trouble your way of doing things will cause in the future. The harder you work, the more miserable the result will be."
"Even if you are given a good hand, you will play it badly. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the grandson of the emperor. Once you act unjustly, no matter how big the family business is, it will not be enough for you to ruin it alone!"
Li Yuanzhao licked his lips, feeling a little puzzled.
What's going on? From the tone of Lao Fang's voice, it sounds like my son is the mastermind?
Hearing Fang Zhengyi's serious words, Li Yu's face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she raised her head and said, "Teacher... I was wrong... I promise there won't be a next time."
"Do you want there to be a next time?!" Li Yuanzhao asked.
Fang Zheng raised his hand to stop him from making trouble, and sighed, "Yes, you are wrong. But since I am your master, and it was Fang Chenyu who instigated you, I also have an unshirkable responsibility. I am the master who neglected to discipline you."
"But don't worry, you are still young and have plenty of time to improve. Remember the lesson this time, and never make the same mistake again! You must remember the rules taught by the school."
"Of course a person should have his own ideas, but before you have your own ideas, you must first learn what the rules and boundaries are. You should do what others teach you. Do you understand?"
Li Yu wiped her tears and nodded.
"Okay, stop crying. First, take the banknotes you cheated and I will help you clean up the mess."
Li Yu did not hesitate after hearing this and ran to the teaching building in a panic.
Soon he brought back a small box.
When Fang Zheng opened it, he saw that it was filled with banknotes, and he felt relieved.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened, otherwise he would have to pay for it.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at Fang Chenyu, and saw him hanging naked on the swing, so he stepped forward and untied him.
Then he was carried to Li Yu, and the two stood side by side.
Fang Zhengyi said calmly: "You two have committed a serious crime. You may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment for your crimes. From today on, in Yucai Primary School..."
"You are fired."
