Chapter 287: The Scarred Boy
"You think you can disguise yourself as a beggar and get away with me? Xiao Q, you are really naΓ―ve, how can the person I want let him escape from my palm so easily? β
The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the young and delicate guy sitting on his lap hurriedly got up and retreated.
He smiled at the scarred young man and patted his leg, "As long as you know the current affairs, for the sake of my friendship with your father during his lifetime, your glory and wealth will be indispensable in the future." β
The young man's face was bloodstained, but his eyes were full of stubbornness and arrogance that would not give in, and he spat at the middle-aged man, "Ungrateful man! Dog thief, if I go down to Jiuquan and become a terrible ghost, I will definitely ask you for my life! β
"Even if your Song family has been loyal and good for generations, it has a high reputation among the people. So what? If it weren't for your father's obsession, otherwise, I wouldn't have killed him for the sake of your face, but unfortunately, your father and mother are no longer here, otherwise, I really want them to see with their own eyes, they want to cultivate a talented little son, and they will become my ......"
"Shut up!" The young man held back his nausea and glared at the middle-aged man he had called his second uncle for more than ten years.
The middle-aged man got up, approached the young man step by step and said: "I used to be sworn brothers with your father, you called me my second uncle for more than ten years, and I watched you grow up, Xiao asked, although I am reluctant to hurt you, but I have been waiting for you for too long......"
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up with greed, and after he crouched down in front of the boy, he reached out and touched the boy's face.
Suddenly there was movement outside the ruined temple-
"Is this it?"
"Someone saw Song Wen being taken to this broken temple, you see, there are still blood stains on the ground......"
The conversation outside the broken temple made the middle-aged man's subordinate look worried: "Lord Sikong, it is inevitable that there will be extraneous branches, and the small one will go to explore." β
Outside the ruined temple, Shangguan Yuanyuan and Mencius glanced at each other and decided to go in and have a look.
Just as they were about to enter the ruined temple, several tall and tall people came out of the ruined temple and blocked them.
"Lord Sikong is resting inside, and the idle people are not to be disturbed." All right
One of them shouted at him.
Shangguan Yuanyuan's pupils contracted when he heard the other party say the identity of Lord Sikong, "Lord Sikong is really inside?" β
If it's the Sikong-sama!
That is a famous corrupt official in the book, his name is Liu Yi, he is the sworn brother of Song Wen's father Song Jie, and he is also a subordinate that Song Jie once trusted very much.
Song Jie, as the previous Sikong, did a particularly outstanding job in water conservancy and construction, and he was a loyal minister and good official who thought about the people in everything.
But Liu Yi is different, because he is profitable in water conservancy and construction, he gradually has a disagreement with Song Jie.
So Liu Yi replaced Song Jie as the new Sikong, and then colluded with other courtiers to form an alliance and have been troubled in the court for many years.
And Song Wen concentrated on the imperial examination later, and relied on the popularity and influence of the Song family among the people to successfully reform the imperial examination system, so that Tianmu's Wenchen stabilized his position.
In the end, Liu Yi, the black sheep, was finally knocked down by Song Wen.
It's just that in the original book, Song Wen did not become a beggar, he just devoted himself to the imperial examination after his father's accidental death, cheering up and prospering the family in his own way.
Calculating the timeline, Song Wen should be preparing for the imperial examination now, and will be a blockbuster in the imperial examination in the near future, becoming Tianmu's first literary champion.
So, what went wrong?
Let Song Wen not follow the original plot, but also had a scandal of plagiarizing articles and was removed from the academy?
Could it be that this Liu Yi is behind the troublemaker?
