Chapter 12 Capital
The incident at the government office caused a lot of uproar, and within just one day, it spread throughout Jiangling.
This matter has already attracted a lot of attention, and now it seems to involve the fratricide between the Cao brothers, which has aroused the gossip nerves of many people.
The next day, brothers Ye Jingyan and Ye Yunfeng went to school as usual. As soon as they arrived at the door, they were looked at by many people in various ways.
Especially many people look at Ye Yunfeng.
Ye Yunfeng was carefree and didn't care about any of this, while Ye Jingyan was as quiet and reserved as ever, with a normal expression.
It seems that the disturbances in the outside world cannot affect them at all.
The two brothers were only one year apart in age, and the academy was very small and did not admit many students, so the two brothers attended classes together.
The two of them seemed completely unaware of the looks from their classmates as they sat down one after the other.
A young man was pushed forward by several people. He moved his mouth but could not speak.
Ye Yunfeng was the first to lose his patience: "If you have to fart, just fart."
The young man in the front heard this and finally spoke carefully: "Um, Ye Yunfeng, Cao, Cao Chengwu's death, it really has nothing to do with you, right?"
Ye Yunfeng had expected them to ask this, and sneered, "What do you think? If I really killed that person, how can I still sit here now?"
Wasn't he arrested a long time ago?
These people are ridiculous.
The teenagers looked at each other.
They had never seen anything like this in Jiangling and were shocked. They couldn't help but feel fear and curiosity.
"So, then, he really died from eating river shrimp?"
Ye Yunfeng snorted: "I opened the coffin and saw it with my own eyes! How could it be fake?"
Hearing what he said, several people involuntarily stepped back and looked at him with a bit of fear in their eyes.
Open the coffin and perform an autopsy in the street!
Ye Yunfeng is only twelve years old! How brave he is!
A thin young man couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you scared? That's a coffin with a dead person in it!"
Ye Yunfeng found it funny.
"Why should we be afraid of the dead? My sister once said that sometimes, the living are scarier than the dead!"
A dead person lying there won't hurt anyone!
When they heard him mention Ye Chutang, everyone's expressions were very complicated.
Another tall and thin boy muttered in a low voice: "What else can I say? Your sister is so fierce, who would dare to marry her in the future?"
Ye Yunfeng instantly became angry and stood up with a bang: "What did you say!"
The young man was frightened by him and felt timid. He took two steps back and felt that he was really embarrassed. He raised his voice and retorted: "Did I say anything wrong? What girl is like your sister, who dares to open the coffin and examine the body in public?"
Ye Yunfeng laughed angrily: "My sister is the most powerful woman in the world! You know nothing!"
The young man snorted: "No matter how powerful a woman is, if she can't get married in the future, no one will want her anyway!"
Ye Yunfeng clenched his fists and veins on his forehead throbbed.
Seeing him like this, the young man thought he was going to attack him and became afraid again.
"You! What do you want to do? Are you going to do something here?"
Someone nearby chimed in, "That's right! Don't forget that you beat Cao Chengwu here two days ago. Do you want to cause trouble again? The Master will never tolerate your insolence!"
Ye Yunfeng clenched his teeth, but contrary to everyone's expectations, he did not take action as he had done in the past.
He sneered: "I beat him because he deserves it! As for you... you are not worth my effort!"
Ye Jingyan put down the book in his hand at some point, and his handsome face was calm.
He glanced at Ye Yunfeng, and a hint of approval flashed across his eyes.
What the sister expected was correct. This incident with the Cao family did teach Afeng a lesson. He is no longer as impulsive and trouble-making as before.
Seeing that Ye Yunfeng didn't move, everyone thought he was scared and couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"What's not worth it? You just don't dare! You're a coward!"
Ye Yunfeng clenched his fists even tighter. The next moment, he heard Ye Jingyan behind him say calmly, "My elder sister wants to open the coffin for an autopsy to prove her brother's innocence. Ah Feng is doing this to protect his elder sister's reputation. Both of you are very courageous. But you guys don't focus on your studies. Instead, you are reading books of sages and gossiping about others. I wonder how much better you are than us?"
These words made several people feel extremely ashamed and embarrassed. They wanted to speak out in rebuttal, but they didn't know where to start.
"you--"
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted, "The Master is here!"
Everyone hurriedly dispersed and returned to their seats.
Then, an old man with a long beard and wearing a robe walked in.
He first glanced at Ye Yunfeng, then frowned slightly.
The old man dislikes this kind of student the most, not to mention that because of Ye Yunfeng, the academy has been involved in trouble recently.
Ye Jingyan pulled Ye Yunfeng, and Ye Yunfeng sat down.
However, the next second, the teacher spoke.
"Ye Yunfeng, did you know how to recite the article I asked you to recite last time?"
Ye Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassment on his face.
He didn't like reading to begin with, and a lot of things happened in the past two days, so he forgot about this.
The Master didn't seem to expect him to do so, and snorted coldly: "You only have the courage of a reckless man!"
He came up to Ye Yunfeng and took out the ruler.
Ye Yunfeng knew he was in the wrong, but he didn't back down and just stretched out his hand.
Bang!
The teacher showed no mercy this time, and a red mark instantly appeared on Ye Yunfeng's palm.
Ye Yunfeng pursed his lips and said nothing.
The teacher looked at Ye Jingyan behind him and said meaningfully: "This is a college, a place for learning! Let you study hard so that you can understand the truth, not for the sake of talking! Some people should not think they are so great just because they can recite a few books!"
Everyone could tell that these words were a reproach to Ye Jingyan.
The teenagers who were arguing just now turned around and made faces at us, with pride in their eyes.
Ye Jingyan seemed not to see it and nodded slightly: "Master is right."
The teacher then turned around with satisfaction and started the class.
…
"Third brother, I really don't understand. It's fine if the teacher doesn't like me, but why doesn't he like you either?"
On the way home from school, Ye Yunfeng couldn't help but complain.
My third brother is very good at studying and writing, but the teacher just likes to make things difficult for him and never treats him well.
"Didn't you just refute him when you first went to class? It was obviously his fault at that time, but in the end he blamed you!" Ye Yunfeng kicked a stone away, feeling very unfair for him.
Ye Jingyan was used to this a long time ago: "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it."
Ye Yunfeng moved his mouth, but he couldn't help but hummed softly: "If only we were still in the capital, we wouldn't have to delay you, Third Brother——"
"A Feng!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Jingyan immediately interrupted him with a serious look.
"Don't mention this in front of Sister anymore."
