Chapter 271: Supporting Evidence
When Zhou Mao heard him say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly: "It's good to have confidence, but the annual examination of Taoshan Academy is still a little different from the imperial examination, you have to be careful!"
Lu Shuo nodded in understanding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He actually really knew, not only did he know that when he was studying with Master Wei, Master had also simulated giving him exam papers similar to the annual examination of Taoshan Academy.
Lu Shuo did it himself, and he still remembers it vividly.
The two continued to talk while walking and rushed back, and the incident they had just encountered Xue Ning was also unconsciously left behind by them.
When he came back to dip in Xuezhai, the two separated in the courtyard, Lu Shuo lowered his head as he walked towards the house and continued to recall what had just happened, suddenly, his steps slammed suddenly, and he turned around and stopped Zhou Mao, who was walking straight forward.
"Senior Brother Zhou!"
Lu Shuo called out and walked quickly to Zhou Mao, who stopped when he heard the sound.
The two walked to the tree in the courtyard and talked.
Zhou Mao said warmly: "What's the matter?
Lu Shuo nodded, but it seemed that the topic was not easy to speak, he lowered his head and thought about it, and did not ask questions immediately.
Could it be that you are embarrassed? Zhou Mao thought.
His mind turned slightly, and a sudden smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Is it a matter of tutoring tonight?" If it is inconvenient for you tonight, choose another time, anyway, it is more convenient for the two of us to live in the same hospital at any time......
"No, no, the senior brother misunderstood, with the guidance of the senior brother, it is too late for me to be happy, where will I refuse......? It's ......"
Speaking of this, Lu Shuo scratched his head, his brows furrowed slightly, as if it was difficult to speak.
Not a matter of tutoring?
So what's more......
Zhou Mao couldn't think of it, so he simply didn't think about it, and asked: "Senior brother has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! I must know everything and say everything......
Hearing this, Lu Shuo no longer hesitated, he leaned forward and approached Zhou Mao, and said in a low voice: "What is the origin of this Xue Ning? I saw that he was so arrogant when he talked to you today, and all his classmates were also afraid of him...... Our academy has always been very demanding in accepting apprentices, and it is not without the children of the high sects who have been expelled in the past, how can he stay until now......
Lu Shuo's words were not adulterated.
The prestige of Momoyama Academy is very high, and there is a memorial arch in front of the academy, who dares to be arrogant here?
In addition, the rules of the academy are very strict, and it is not uncommon for people to be kicked out for making trouble in the past, so it is really strange that Xue Ning's scourge can be left until now......
Zhou Mao finally understood why Lu Shuo didn't dare to speak out.
Although he was talking about Xue Ning, he was actually questioning the rules of the court and questioning Yuan Zhongdao's fairness as the head of the mountain.
Yuan Zhongdao is his grandfather!
His questioning is a bit rebellious.
However, Zhou Mao didn't think it was wrong, because this matter happened to be asked in his heart.
"Senior brother, don't be nervous, it's normal for you to have this question, what happened to you today, I also encountered it three years ago...... At that time, I was just a showman, and I came here through my uncle's recommendation, and I had no talent or fame in Weizhou, which Xue Ning said was even more excessive than today......
Yes?
Looking at Zhou Mao's annoyed expression, Lu Shuo was dumbfounded.
Zhou Mao also encountered it!
This Xue Ning is really not an ordinary character......!
Zhou Mao saw Lu Shuo's startled appearance, and somehow remembered his younger brother at home, his tense face couldn't help but soothe, and he wanted to reach out and touch Lu Shuo's head, thinking about the impoliteness and endured it, but the smile on his face couldn't be stopped.
He said: "It's not just me, I heard that Senior Brother Wei has also encountered it, but at that time, we were new to the school, and we didn't have the courage to make a fuss in the academy without flinching at ......."
When Lu Shuo heard this, his face suddenly burned like fire.
He had his own considerations, but in hindsight, he seemed to be a little too fierce at the time!
Lu Shuo was sweating wildly, but blurted out, "What about later?"
Zhou Mao saw his reaction and smiled more happily, but in a blink of an eye, the smile disappeared from the corners of his eyebrows, he put his hands behind his back, and his voice was a little cold.
"Later,...... Later, Xue Ning was naturally fine! You can see that he is still so arrogant...... When the mountain chief heard that I was humiliated by him, he only reprimanded him, and then notified Xue Zhizhou to take him back and think about it behind closed doors for two days, and Xue Ning returned to the academy to study...... And I'm okay, Senior Brother Wei is even more unlucky, he treated all these accusations coldly, and ignored them, and later because of his outstanding results in the quarterly exam, he gradually broke these rumors......"
So arrogant! It's just a reprimand!
Lu Shuo couldn't understand.
Wait a minute!
"Xue Zhizhou?" Lu Shuo looked at Zhou Mao, "This Xue Ning's father is just a Zhizhou, haven't I heard that there is any Xue name in Daqi...... Why would my grandfather... Why is it so ......?"
"Are you so jealous?" Seeing that Lu Shuo was hesitant, Zhou Mao spoke it out for him.
Lu Shuo nodded.
Yuan Zhongdao returned to his hometown, and even the saints respected him a lot, if he was just a small Zhizhou, why would Yuan Zhongdao be taboo about him!
Zhou Mao stood with his hands in his hands, his voice was a little erratic, and said, "...... The Xue family is not a famous family, Xue's father is just a poor student, and he has no power in the court, otherwise he would not have stayed in Weizhou for four years......"
Yes! Lu Shuo nodded along the way.
After nodding, he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Zhou Mao with a sudden light in his eyes.
Zhou Mao's uncle is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites! It is not easy to control a small Zhizhou and prevent him from being promoted!
Zhou Mao looked up at the sky, as if he didn't see Lu Shuo's eyes.
After looking at it for a while, it wasn't until Lu Shuo coughed that Zhou Mao tacitly lowered his head and continued: "As for why? I also inquired at that time, nothing else, just the same, when Xue Zhizhou first arrived in Weizhou, he sent his subordinates to search Taoshan Academy in the name of visiting......
Lu Shuo was stunned.
However, this was not because of the meaning of Zhou Mao's words, but the information revealed in his words reminded Lu Shuo of another thing!
His previous uncertainty and dazedness seemed to have been confirmed after Zhou Mao's words.
Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao's life experience!
Regardless of whether Xue Zhizhou's appearance was unintentional or intentional, it was definitely a dangerous signal for Wei Zhao and his grandfather who secretly hid him!
It took a long time for Lu Shuo to calm down, and he asked, "Is Xue Ning also the academy that entered after this incident?"
Zhou Mao nodded.
Zhou Mao took in his reaction just now, thinking that he was unwilling, and couldn't help but persuade: "The mountain chief is also helpless, and it is estimated that he will do this because he is afraid of disturbing the peace of the academy...... Don't let that make you feel anything about him......"
