Chapter 58: Exposing Master Liu
Finally, Master Liu was forced to write down in his own handwriting how he had abused Liang Mingxuan. He also briefly recounted how Xu Zhichun had come to his house today to trick him and his wife into revealing the truth, signing and sealing the document. Finally, he wrote that the matter was over and no one was allowed to mention it again. Liang Mingxuan and Master Liu had no further relationship. The two village heads, Doctor Jiang, and Xu Zhichun also signed as witnesses.
There are four copies, one for each of the two village heads, Xu Zhichun, and Master Liu.
Before leaving, Xu Zhichun said, "Tongsheng Liu, please don't teach anymore and mislead students. If you let me know that Tongsheng Liu is still teaching, don't blame me for not keeping my promise and revealing this."
Liu Tongsheng's face was pale, but his eyes were still fierce. "Madam Xu, killing is not enough. It's better to leave a way out for others. I won't teach Liang Mingxuan anymore. What else do you want?"
If he wasn't teaching, what would he do? Farming? How could a scholar like him do such lowly farm work?
He is a man wearing a long gown.
Xu Zhichun: "With Liu Tongsheng's behavior, you still dare to teach. Isn't it possible that he has corrupted good children? Aren't we all your accomplices? You don't care, but we are afraid of damaging our good karma."
"you!"
Liu Tongsheng glanced at Meng Lizheng and Liang Lizheng unwillingly, and saw that they were also looking at him with unexpected expressions, obviously agreeing with Xu Zhichun's words. Knowing that there was no hope, he closed his eyes in despair.
Liang Lizheng took Xu Zhichun away.
Liang Lizheng pressed the issue and asked for Liang Mingxuan's salary as well.
"I know you're still a little unhappy, but it's a relief that this has been accomplished. This Liu Tongsheng was specially invited to the village by Meng Lizheng with great fanfare. At the time, countless other villages envied him, saying that Quanshan Village had good feng shui, which was why they could invite such a teacher. With this school, I'm sure the cultural heritage will rise, and the village will prosper in the future. Meng Lizheng and the people of Quanshan Village are so proud. If this matter were to get out, Meng Lizheng and Quanshan Village would lose face and be laughed at."
"Even if a reasonable person knows not to blame you, he'll probably feel annoyed. And even more unreasonable and foolish people will probably take their anger out on you and Mingxuan. Our two villages are neighbors, so it's inevitable that we'll meet each other sometimes. It's enough to solve our own problems. There's no need to cause other trouble. Don't worry, he's in trouble. Li Zheng Meng won't let him off easily."
"Didn't you say Mingxuan is going to take the Tongshi exam next month? If this incident were to happen now, it's hard to say whether it would have any impact on him. It's better to have less trouble than more."
"With so many people, there's so much talk, and when things get spread around, who knows how they'll get turned into anything. Who can come and correct everyone one by one?"
If word gets out that Liang Mingxuan reported the teacher, it would be more trouble than it is worth.
Even though Liu Tongsheng is really a piece of shit, Liang Mingxuan will still suffer some loss if such words get out.
Xu Zhichun still felt a little uncomfortable, but he also understood that he had to give face to Meng Lizheng, otherwise it would be difficult for Liang Lizheng to do his job.
The village chief has already helped me a lot.
If he hadn't come forward, he wouldn't have been able to ask Meng Lizheng and the highly respected Doctor Jiang in the village to cooperate in this scene. Then maybe even his plan to swallow his anger and avoid the provocation wouldn't have been possible.
After all, that Liu Tongsheng is a big talker, and he will talk nonsense and slander people.
Xu Zhichun nodded. "Uncle Lizheng, I understand. It's not easy to achieve this result. I couldn't have done it without your help. As long as Mingxuan can pick them cleanly and Liu Tongsheng is punished, that's enough."
Liang Lizheng laughed heartily and nodded with satisfaction: "I knew you were a sensible and understanding person. Mingxuan has you as his sister-in-law to take care of him. Minglang was right in choosing him."
I don't know how to respond to this.
Xu Zhichun could only smile awkwardly but politely.
Meng Lizheng's eldest grandson was originally studying with Liu Tongsheng. He had no intention of taking the imperial examination, but only wanted to learn a few words so that he could find a job in the city.
Few people in the countryside would dare to dream of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official.
After this happened, of course I won’t go.
Meng Lizheng questioned his eldest grandson in detail, and the boy said foolishly and enviously, "The teacher said Mingxuan is very smart. He learned what we learned in less than half a day, so the teacher asked him to help with some odd jobs to exercise his muscles. I also want to do odd jobs for the teacher, but unfortunately I can't memorize it no matter how hard I try."
Studying wasn't as fun as working. He loved going up the mountain to herd cattle, rolling around, climbing trees, collecting bird eggs, catching grasshoppers, and picking wild fruit. He just didn't like studying. Looking at those dark, strange-looking characters made his eyes blur, his head go haywire, and he yawned endlessly. What could he do?
If you don’t like it, you don’t like it.
Meng Lizheng was completely speechless.
This silly boy!
Never mind, at least I know a few words, so I don't need to read this book. Reading it is really annoying.
Why spend money to get angry?
The gap between people.
He was a little jealous of Liang Mingxuan, and even jealous of Liang Lizheng.
It turns out that the cultural heritage lies in Liangjia Village.
If nothing unexpected happens to Liang Mingxuan, he'll probably be a rising star. Wouldn't the Liang Family Village be so proud of themselves then? Old Man Liang would be so happy!
No wonder the other children didn’t know about Liu Tongsheng’s torment of Liang Mingxuan. It turned out that he even concealed the secrets from those children. He was indeed a sinister person.
Fortunately, Xu from Liangjia Village came up with such a way to expose him, otherwise who would dare to believe him? Liu Tongsheng, who usually met people politely, gentle and scholarly, actually had that kind of face.
Meng Lizheng forced Liu Tongsheng to leave without any hesitation.
Liu Tongsheng had to dismiss all the students on the grounds of poor health, and returned to his remote and secluded village with his wife and son in disgrace.
The villagers of Quanshan Village felt very sorry. Meng Lizheng sneered in his heart, thinking that this is what it means to know a person's appearance but not his heart.
After Xu Zhichun returned home, he saw that Liang Mingxuan's temperature had risen again, so he hurriedly got him some medicine to take again.
While telling him that Liu Tongsheng's problem had been resolved.
Fearing that he would worry, Xu Zhichun briefly explained what had happened, letting him know that no one would tell anyone about it, and therefore it wouldn't affect him in the slightest. From now on, he would have nothing to do with that Liu Tongsheng anymore!
Liang Mingxuan was filled with shock, his nose was sore, and he couldn't help but hug Xu Zhichun, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
How can a simple thank you be enough?
His sister-in-law was such a gentle person, but she risked her life for him and had a big fight with the sinister Liu Tongsheng and his wife. He didn't dare to imagine what his sister-in-law felt at that time.
Liang Mingxuan's heart was pounding, his blood was boiling, and he secretly clenched his fists: He must study hard, take the imperial examinations, and win glory for his sister-in-law and earn an imperial edict for her.
Ambition burned in his small chest.
