"Um?"
Song Chi stopped and looked back at Gu Ronghua with a surprised expression.
Could it be that he couldn't see the situation clearly?
While they were stunned, Gu Ronghua had already walked up to Hu Ju. In front of everyone's stunned expressions, he handed Xue Yi's wooden sign to Hu Ju and said, "I want to follow Song Chi to live in the compound."
Then he walked up to Song Chi.
"Then we can still be friends..."
"you……"
Song Chi wanted to say, "Are you sick?", but he felt it was impolite.
Although the Gu family is extremely wealthy, they are nothing in front of the government. If they get close to me, they will inevitably offend many people.
Could it be that Gu Ronghua simply doesn’t understand?
"Why?" Song Chi asked curiously.
Gu Ronghua said sincerely, "Because I want to be friends with you."
He really didn't understand the twists and turns, but he remembered what his sister said.
You don't go to Nandu Academy to learn anything, you just need to make some good friends.
To be able to enter the Nandu Academy, one must be either very talented or have a prominent family background... If you can make friends with them, perhaps you will be able to help the family in the future.
It's like doing business, betting on someone in advance.
However, these friends are not just casual acquaintances. You are the young master of the Gu family. Many people are willing to get close to you for your money. Such friends are useless.
You need to make friends who are "valuable".
For example, if someone is being ostracized and suppressed, but he is very powerful, this kind of person has potential. If you make friends with him when he is in trouble, he will help you in the future.
I'm just giving you an example, you have to make your own judgment, remember that helping someone in need is more precious than adding icing on the cake...
Gu Ronghua thought, wasn't the person his sister was talking about Song Chi?
As expected, she is my sister!
He sighed and became even warmer to Song Chi.
I am now providing timely assistance.
Faced with so many people bullying him, and even the college supervisor making things difficult for him, he remained unafraid and was determined to win the first place in the poetry and writing competition.
Such a person is so amazing, he is not comparable to me, a loser who can only rely on my family.
Um.
I must become friends with him.
"You want to be friends with me?" Song Chi was even more confused. "How can you even begin to say that? Don't you see that everyone is avoiding me?"
"You are the first friend I made when I entered Nandu Academy. How can I abandon you and leave?" He said it with great righteousness, which made Song Chi confused.
"Gu Ronghua, your father has put in a lot of effort to get you into Nandu Academy. Don't make the mistake."
Liu Feng kindly reminded him that he was right. The Gu family donated a lot of money to the academy to obtain the qualification.
After all, the academy is a place for learning, and they also have to consider their reputation, but the money offered by the Gu family is too much to refuse.
Liu Feng himself got a lot.
"I didn't do anything, besides..."
Gu Ronghua thought that this was because he was listening to his sister.
"If you want to follow, just follow me." Song Chi didn't know what this young master was planning, but he didn't care, so why should he care?
"OK."
Gu Ronghua left with Song Chi and his group.
"Damn it!"
Han Yuanzheng clenched his fists as he looked at Song Chi's back.
"How could such a person come out of Ji County?"
Liu Feng asked, "Can your father tolerate him?"
Speaking of this, Han Yuanzheng was also a little confused. Logically speaking, Song Chi should have been killed by now, so how could he still go to Nandu Academy?
Han Yuanzheng was feeling uneasy and decided to send a letter to his father to ask about it immediately.
Thoughts flashed through my mind.
"The Chanting Literary Competition will be held in ten days. Prime Minister Song Ming will arrive before the competition... and by then he'll be finished!"
Han Yuanzheng's voice was cold.
"Yeah, he actually dared to say that he could win the first prize in the literary competition. This is the first time I've seen someone so arrogant."
Liu Feng smiled faintly and said, "But this is exactly what I want. This way I can take the opportunity to completely eliminate the Donglin Society..."
Song Chi entered the Nandu Academy in this way, and the disturbance he caused quickly spread.
However, after hearing this, most people scoffed at it. Even Duan Yunzhou, the most talented scholar in Nandu Academy, did not dare to say such words, but he did.
This statement offended many people, and with some people fanning the flames, it quickly became a hot topic...
More people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself, and some even made an appointment to come to the academy gate to see him kneel down after the literary gathering.
The bet between Song Chi and Han Yuanzheng also spread, and he became famous again, but Song Chi was extremely low-key and did not even show up.
He knew that the incident in Ji County was about to explode!
Capital, Lu Mansion.
It was late at night, but the study in the Lu Mansion was still brightly lit.
Lu Taiyuan, the deputy minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was sitting behind the desk looking at a secret letter, a secret letter sent from Ji County.
Lu Taiyuan is sixty-five years old now. His temples are gray, his hair is full of silver hair, his upper eyes are slightly drooping, the corners of his eyes are covered with wrinkles, and there are a few age spots on his thin face.
He looked old, but in good spirits, with a pair of dark brown eyes that looked very wise in his slightly sunken eye sockets.
At this moment, Lu Taiyuan's slightly dry hands tightly grasped the edge of the secret letter, and his inadvertent trembling made the letter wrinkled...
He brought the oil lamp closer to see more clearly, and the excitement in his eyes became more and more intense.
"This... unexpectedly?"
"Okay! Okay!"
"I was right. Song Shiwen did commit corruption in his hometown."
"Feng Yuan, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Lu Taiyuan murmured. At his position, few things could disturb his mood, but now he could hardly control his excitement!
He had been fighting with Song Shiwen for many years, but had never found any evidence to support him. He watched Song Shiwen's power grow, but he had no way to stop him.
Song Shiwen was the prime minister of the dynasty and also the prince's guardian.
If we wait until the crown prince inherits the throne, the Qingliu Party will surely perish!
So, Lu Taiyuan was forced to get closer to the second prince, His Royal Highness Prince Qing.
It was an act of usurpation for a minister to participate in the fight for the throne, and Song Shiwen was the Prince's Grand Tutor. As the Prince's teacher, he was allowed to do whatever he wanted, but others were not allowed to do anything.
But Lu Taiyuan had no choice but to be forced to participate.
After searching for a long time without any results, he thought of using Feng Yuan. With the help of the second prince, he was sent to Ji County, Song Shiwen's hometown, to serve as the magistrate.
Lu Taiyuan didn't believe that Song Shiwen was invincible, but he didn't expect Feng Yuan to achieve results so quickly.
This secret letter clearly states that Ji County has serious problems of corruption and land annexation, and over the years, the proceeds of corruption have reached a huge amount.
According to investigation, the mastermind behind these events was Song Shiwen.
He took advantage of the Han family and local trusted officials to deceive his superiors and subordinates, enrich himself, and amass a huge fortune.
He even dared to embezzle the relief grain that was supposed to be sent to Youzhou!
shocking!
Song Shiwen is indeed a treacherous minister in troubled times!
Lu Taiyuan's body and mind were trembling with excitement, but he continued to watch.
With these evidences, even if Song Shiwen cannot be brought down, it is enough to make him suffer.
Feng Yuan, you really gave me a big surprise!
At this moment, Lu Taiyuan suddenly frowned.
"The fact that we were able to find such incriminating evidence wasn't the students' fault, but rather a young man... his name is Song Chi!"
