Chapter 5 Where the Long Knife Goes

Lu Heng cleared his throat and said aloud to everyone: "Cao Mo, as a child of the Wang clan and a student of the academy, did not make an appointment, accused others of seducing him, and his behavior was despicable, like a scoundrel in the market.

If this time is not repeated, it will inevitably have a very bad and far-reaching impact on the folk customs and study style of my Lin'an City in the future.

After many considerations, the City Lord's Mansion decided: remove the title of Cao Mo Lin'an Academy, take back the student badge, and issue ten years of hard labor on the South Barrier Reef!"

There are four major families in Lin'an City, in addition to the Lu family of the city lord's mansion, there are also the Dong family, the Cao family and the He family who serve as the deputy city lord.

According to the laws of the city, judgments involving the children of the noble clan require the full consent of all the city lords before they can take effect.

The head of the He family was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Second!"

It didn't take long for Dong Sui to speak: "Seconded!"

Everyone present turned their eyes to Cao Ang, wondering what decision he would make?!

"Hey......!"

Cao Ang let out a long sigh, walked over and helped Cao Mo who was lying on the ground up, and said bitterly: "Child, since your father left, I have always treated you as my own flesh and blood, and I have never treated you badly in terms of expenses and expenses, but your actions this time are really despicable, even if the uncle wants to protect it, he can't find any legitimate reason!"

After that, he bowed his hand to Lu Heng and said, "Seconded!"

Lu Heng nodded, and ordered the guards to take Cao Mo down to Haosheng for detention and release him at a later date.

Then he got up and raised his glass and said to everyone: "Let's raise a glass together, I wish Lin'ancheng a better tomorrow!"

"I wish Lin's tomorrow in Ancheng will be better!" everyone got up one after another to respond, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax, and also signaling the end of the ceremony.

Immediately afterwards, the heads of the various clans led the children of their families to leave the banquet hall one after another in an orderly manner.

Shen Yun was about to leave with his clansmen, but was stopped by Xun Kuang who came over.

Dong Sui hurriedly stepped forward to salute Xun Kuang, and then said to Shen Yun: "Uncle Fang just treated you like that, it is really an expedient measure, I think you won't blame me, since Mr. keeps you, then you don't have to follow everyone!"

After that, he led the rest of the Dong family to leave first.

Xun Kuang looked at Dong Xuan's back, and said with a pointful smile: "You are worthy of being the head of the Wang family!"

Shen Yun pretended not to understand the meaning of Xun Kuang's words, bowed down and said, "Thank you seniors for speaking out, otherwise the kid will be wrongfully killed by them!"

"Stinky boy, are you among them, including me, the city lord?" Lu Heng walked over with a smile.

Shen Yun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, absolutely nothing!"

"Haha, that's pretty much it. Lu Heng smiled and nodded, and then said to Xun Kuang, "Master, I have this year's spring tea there, do you want to try it!"

Xun Kuang smiled and asked Shen Yun, "It just so happens that I am also a little thirsty, how about accompanying the old man to the Lu Mansion to disturb him?"

Shen Yun showed a flattered expression on his face, and said, "How can the younger generation have such an honor!"

......

Lu Mansion, the courtyard of the head of the house, in the hall.

"Good tea, good tea!" Xun Kuang put down the tea cup in his hand and praised repeatedly.

"This is the best tea I've ever had!" Shen Yun echoed with a smile.

Lu Heng smiled and said to Shen Yun: "Just now Cao Ang found me and said that he was willing to pay for you in advance for the next five years to express the Cao family's apologies to you, what do you think?!"

Shen Yun was silent for a while, and then smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!"

Xun Kuang was puzzled: "Beiyuan's five-year scholarship is a hundred spirit stones, equivalent to a million taels of gold in the world, and the old people feel hot, why are you so slow to react?!"

Shen Yun explained seriously: "The kid was a little stunned with joy at first, and then he thought, if the Cao family has a few more Cao Mo, it would be great!"

"Hahaha!" Xun Kuang and Lu Heng laughed together after listening to Shen Yun's words.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yun was afraid that his mother and Lu Wei would be worried, so he got up and said goodbye.

The two intended to send each other, but were stopped by Shen Yun.

Lu Heng immediately called the housekeeper and ordered him to send Shen Yun out of the Lu Mansion on his behalf.

After seeing Shen Yun leave, Lu Heng asked Xun Kuang, "Why does the teacher ...... this person?"

Xun Kuang smiled and made a silent gesture.

Lu Heng understood, stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and said loudly: "Teacher, you and I haven't played chess together for a long time, how about coming to my study to play a game?"

"No, your chess skills are too bad. ”

"Then you can let me carry, don't you have it. ”

"Okay, a pound of new tea in one game!"

"Then you'll have to let me do it again!"

......

After Shen Yun left the Lu Mansion, he walked home while enjoying the night scenery along the way.

It didn't take long for someone to grab his arm from behind.

Shen Yun turned his head and saw that the other party was a slender woman who was gasping with her head down, so he hurriedly shook off her arm lightly and said, "Girl, you recognize the wrong person!"

The woman raised her head, looked at Shen Yun with those beautiful eyes as clear as autumn water, and said, "Brother, hurry, go home, mother, ask the head of the family for the guilt!"

Shen Yun didn't expect to meet Lu Wei on the street, and after understanding the meaning, he stepped forward to carry her on his back and ran towards home.

After about a cup of tea, Lu Wei said on Shen Yun's back: "Brother, I'm almost rested, let me go, let's run together to hurry up!"

Shen Yun said: "You haven't cultivated, you can't keep up with me, so be it!"

Lu Wei said: "That's not necessarily, you'll know if you let me down!"

Shen Yun stopped, put Lu Wei off her back, took one of her jade hands, and said, "If you can't keep up, you can talk!"

After running forward for a while, Shen Yun was taken aback, his speed was fast enough at this time, but Lu Wei still seemed to be at ease.

The base speed of a mid-tier samurai is 2 galls.

Chi is the speed unit of the martial arts world, compared to the earth, it is 10 km/h, and 2 Chi is 20 km/h.

Shen Yun was worried about Dong Yuemei's safety, and tried to run with all his might, seeing that although Lu Wei was a little difficult to follow, she was still able to persevere, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at herself, thinking that if she had the opportunity, she must ask her what was going on.

......

Dong Mansion, the head of the house.

Dong Yuemei stood in the courtyard and shouted into the hall: "Dong Xuan, you come out for me!"

After a while, Dong Xuan and a gorgeous woman walked out of the hall.

"Sister, what's wrong?" asked Dong Xuan puzzled.

"Hmph, don't you know the good things you did yourself!" Dong Yuemei sneered.

Dong Xuan said in a deep voice: "As a clan elder, what kind of system do you want to come here to make a big noise!"

The gorgeous woman who followed Dong Sui said: "The head of the family has always focused on the overall situation, as clansmen, we should understand more!"

"Shut up, our brother and sister are talking, how can you interject!" Dong Yuemei scolded the gorgeous woman loudly.

"Presumptuous, my jade lady is an upright lady of the family, if you dare to be so disrespectful, the old body will teach you how to behave!"

An old woman with a cane walked up to the gorgeous woman from across the courtyard, staring at Dong Yuemei with cold eyes.

"Who is she?" Dong Yuemei asked Dong Xuan.

Dong Sui hurriedly explained: "This is your sister-in-law's aunt, Granny Chen!"

Dong Yuemei nodded at the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, it's cold in the yard, you better accompany Yu Niang back to the room, I still have something to say to the head of the family!"

The gorgeous woman Yu Niang sneered: "What is there to say in front of people!"

Dong Yuemei opened her apricot eyes and said angrily: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut your tongue today!"

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Po's eyes, she jumped up, waved the cane in her hand, and smashed it down on Dong Yuemei's head.

Dong Yuemei raised her arm, shook her jade hand, and a glittering ring head long knife appeared in her palm, then smiled indifferently, and waved the knife towards Chen Po's crutch.

The cane and the knife intersected, and the tip of the cane was immediately cut off by the long knife.

Chen Po was shocked, and hurriedly turned over with a harrier, and fell back to the place in embarrassment.

"A spirit knife!" Chen Po felt a chill down her spine.

Dong Yuemei raised her knife and pointed at Dong Xuan, and said with a cold face: "If Yun'er has any mistakes today, I will fight with you endlessly!"

Yu Niang grabbed Dong Xuan's arm and shook it vigorously, but was thrown off by the other party.

Dong Xuan smiled bitterly: "Yun'er was called by Xun Lao, because he didn't go back to the house with me, what can be missing!"

At this moment, Shen Yun and Lu Wei held hands and panted and rushed into the courtyard of the head of the family.

"Mother, you, it's okay!" Shen Yun stepped forward and grabbed Dong Yuemei's arm, and saw that she didn't make any mistakes, so he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Dong Yuemei put the spirit knife into the acceptance ring and said with a smile: "It's okay!"

Shen Yun didn't even look at Dong Xuan, and said to Dong Yuemei: "Mother, it's not early, let's go back!"

Dong Yuemei nodded, and left the courtyard of the head of the house surrounded by Shen Yun and Lu Wei.

"Why don't you teach her a lesson!" asked Yu Niang with a cold face.

Dong Xuan glared at her, didn't say anything, and walked towards the hall with his sleeves brushed up.

"Auntie, I'll send you back to the house!" Yu Niang stepped forward to hug Chen Po and walked all the way into the cross-courtyard wing.

Chen Po sat on the chair and sighed softly: "It seems that we still underestimate the heritage of the Dong family!"

Yu Niang said: "Dong Sui has never mentioned to me that the Dong family has another first-grade spirit knife, and I still have a certain degree of wariness when I think about it."

If you hadn't helped me out today, he wouldn't have been able to hide it from me for a while!"

After a pause, Yu Niang continued: "Mother-in-law, this Dong Yuemei's cultivation is not weaker than yours, and there is still a spirit knife in her hand, I think, let's still figure it out slowly!"

Chen Po nodded first, and then sneered: "Today's humiliation, I will definitely take it back with interest!"

......

Cao Mansion, the head of the family's study.

Cao Ang stood behind the bookcase, and wrote a big word "forbearance" on the paper.

In front of the bookcase, stood a dignified young man of about twenty-five years of age.

"Dad, is it true that our Cao family has to look at his Lu family's face for the rest of our lives?" the young man said indignantly.

Cao Ang pointed to the words on the table and said, "Qian'er, if you want to achieve great things, you must know when to be forbearant and when to be cruel!"

Cao Qian sighed: "This time, we can be regarded as losing our wife and losing our soldiers, and the child is really unwilling!"

Cao Ang Zhengse said: "Before our layout is completed, any variables may lead to the loss of previous achievements, temporary sacrifices and losses, in the face of the great cause of revitalizing the Cao family, it is nothing at all!"
