Chapter 41: Sworn Brotherhood



The people put Linghu Yunlong down, and Zhang Ruoxi could no longer bear it and rushed over to hug him tightly. Linghu Yunlong was a little embarrassed. After all, so many people were watching. He didn't expect that Zhang Ruoxi, who had been taught etiquette since childhood, would hug him tightly without paying any attention. Linghu Yunlong no longer hesitated and hugged his wife tightly.

These ordinary people are most annoyed by these crappy etiquettes. Who among ordinary people would learn these noble etiquettes from you? They all applauded and cheered for this perfect couple.

"Your Majesty, those students have finally stopped causing trouble and have dispersed from outside the Imperial College." Cao Dongsheng returned to the palace to report.

Zhao Huan hummed, his expression still sullen. After all, there was still no progress in the exam question leak case. "Order the Tiger Court Sergeant Zheng Xian to come see me!"

Soon, Zheng Xian arrived at the Wende Hall to meet Zhao Huan. "Your Majesty, I, Zheng Xian, greet you!"

Zhao Huan frowned, "The students are causing trouble, and the exam questions have been leaked. I'm sure the Tiger Yasi knows about it!"

Zheng Xian had long known that the Tiger Yasi had minions everywhere, so he bowed and said, "I have heard a little bit about it."

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Zheng Xian, cease all activities at the Tiger Court and put aside everything. I order you to thoroughly investigate the Imperial College exam leak case!"

Zheng Xian bowed and accepted the order: "As you wish!"

Zhao Huan pounded his hand on the table. "Zheng Xian, there's something I can't figure out. The examiners who set the exam questions at the Imperial College are guarded by layers of guards. They can't leave the college until the exam is over. Even if they bribed someone, they couldn't possibly bribe all the guards. How did these exam questions get leaked?"

Zheng Xian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the more secretive the enemy's actions are, the more difficult the case will be to investigate. The test questions cannot appear on their own wings. I believe that as long as we are willing to investigate, we will eventually find some clues. However, if the Tiger Yasi encounters obstacles during the investigation..."

Zhao Huan threw a token over and said, "Take this, my personal dragon token. Seeing the dragon token is like being here in person. Anyone who dares to stop me will be charged with treason!"

Zheng Xian was overjoyed: "I will definitely solve this case within a month!"

"I give you seven days to solve this case. I want to uncover the mastermind behind this before the re-examination on the third day of next month!"

Zheng Xian wiped the sweat off his face. Seven days had passed, and Tiger Yasi had a lot to do this time. "As you wish!"

After Zheng Xian withdrew, Zhao Huan still couldn't let it go. He kept thinking, could it be that the test questions flew out?

Linghu Yunlong finally returned: "Your Majesty, the matter has been completed."

Zhao Huan hurriedly asked, "How is Meng Gurao?"

Linghu Yunlong replied, "The imperial physician has examined him. Lord Meng only suffered minor skin injuries and should be fine."

Zhao Huan heaved a sigh of relief: "This old fellow, I almost killed him."

Du Yuntai was at the Gaosheng Inn, and Shen Feiyu was obviously not so polite to him: "Brother Du, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Why did you have to stir up this mess? The three of us could have easily passed the high school entrance exam. Tell me about you, my fifty thousand taels of silver have been wasted."

Du Yuntai said proudly, "A true man should act with a clear conscience. What's the point of gaining fame through such despicable means? Your Majesty has ordered a re-examination, and I am only trying to give students all over the world a chance."

Shen Feiyu said angrily: "Okay, you are so noble. You are amazing, but this inn is not for nothing. Brother Du, please think of a way yourself in the future!"

Du Yuntai stood up suddenly and said: "Thanks to Brother Shen's kindness, I have stayed here for a while. I will repay Brother Shen's debt one day. Goodbye!"

Lei Xiangrong stopped Du Yuntai on the side. He turned to Shen Feiyu and said, "Brother Shen, you are going too far. The three of us are like-minded and have come together for this reason. How dare you say such vulgar words? Brother Shen, why do you take these trivial things so seriously?"

Shen Feiyu said angrily: "Fifty thousand taels! Is this a small amount? It seems that you didn't spend fifty thousand taels of silver. I tell you, you should stay away from Du. He is a man of some talent. But he is also arrogant enough to curse the emperor in his policy paper. It is only because the current emperor is tolerant that you will get into trouble with such a person sooner or later. Don't expect him to help us. I advise you to stay away from him!"

Du Yuntai sneered, "So you two have other motives in befriending me. I'm leaving now!"

Lei Xiangrong grabbed him and said, "Brother Du, to be honest, our motives for becoming friends with you were not pure. However, after spending the past few days with Brother Du, I have been deeply impressed by your character. I sincerely want to become your friend. If you don't mind, I am willing to become your brother!"

Du Yuntai was shocked: "Think carefully, Brother Shen is right. I am too outspoken and might offend the powerful one day. I advise Brother Lei to think twice."

Lei Xiangrong smiled and said, "Brother Du is right. A real man should be upright and do everything with a clear conscience. As long as Brother Du is wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the country and the people, I will definitely make you my friend!"

Shen Feiyu was furious: "Okay! Okay! You two can just wear the same pants. I'm sorry I won't keep you company!" Then he walked away.

Lei Xiangrong took Du Yuntai's hand and said, "Brother Du, please ignore him. Since we are brothers, let's not be polite. If he doesn't pay for the inn accommodation, I will. I will send someone to deliver the money I owe him to his house."

Du Yuntai said sternly, "Although we are brothers, I cannot live here with Brother Lei shamelessly any longer. I'd better move somewhere else. Didn't the Imperial College give us two taels of silver each? I won't stay at this inn no matter what."

Lei Xiangrong slapped his thigh and said, "Okay! Brother Du insists on this, I will give up this house. Let's find another place!"
