Next.

A burst of drums rang through the academy.

The whole academy was summoned to the square by the sound of drums, and no one dared to delay, because those who had been in the academy for a long time knew that such drums indicated that something big was happening in the academy.

Mei Xiaoren was not attracted by the sound of the drum, but a small servant made a special trip to the stable to invite her here.

It can be seen that today's events are related to her, otherwise she would like to wait for Chu Yu in the stable more than to join in the fun.

Now that the scholar has gone back, Chu Yu chose to stay alone, and she doesn't know where he lives, maybe it's still Jingqiu Courtyard.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and there was a black crowd of people standing in the square.

The gentlemen stood on the steps in official uniforms, their expressions tense and not very relaxed. The hundreds of students at the foot of the stairs were dressed properly and stood neatly, but there was no shortage of whisperers.

Someone sighed: "Master Zhou turned out to be the uncle of Gongzi Wen, I really didn't see it." ”

"Master Zhou has always been strict, when Gongzi Wen was drunk and having fun, he still trained Gongzi Wen, and never showed mercy, who can see it"

"That's just that I don't study hard, now that Gongzi Wen has made a big mistake, can Master Zhou not feel sorry for his nephew" The student smiled and said in a low voice, "If I am Gongzi Wen's uncle, I will do my best to protect him, not only to help him save face, but also to expel that Shu student from the academy, this is what it is like to be an uncle"

"That's not it, Bishop Zhou summoned us here, didn't he just want to exonerate Gongzi Wen in front of everyone?"

When Mei Xiaoren heard this, he silently sighed

When the drums stopped, Bishop Zhou, dressed in official uniform, walked to the front of the steps, looking down at the students in the square with a serious expression.

The atmosphere became more solemn.

Bishop Zhou stood silently for a while, and his eyes began to search around, as if he was looking for someone. His gaze finally rested on her, his face seemed to be a little guilty, and then he looked ahead, and solemnly ordered: "Bring him up"

Soon after the words were spoken, the students spread out to the sides, making way for the middle road to pass.

The person who came was Wen Bin.

He was walking straight to the steps, still wearing the moon-white robe, and his steps were leisurely, as if he had nothing to do.

The people around him began to whisper again, "What do I say, Wen Gongzi will definitely be fine." ”

"Master Zhou doesn't protect his nephew, but it's hard to protect people from the Shu clan."

Wen Bin passed in front of Mei Xiaoren and cast a contemptuous gaze, with a smile on his lips.

Standing on the steps is his uncle, although his uncle is strict, but he is not enough to kill his relatives in righteousness, after all, his uncle and his mother are brothers and sisters, and his uncle is his nephew, and he does not protect anyone

Wen Bin walked to the front of the square and leaned over and arched his hand: "The student has seen the master." After saluting, he straightened up, looked at his own uncle with a smile, and waited for him to be excused in his capacity as a bishop.

Bishop Zhou's eyebrows were deep, and he didn't make a sound for a long time, and then he spoke, but he said sharply: "Kneel"

Wen Bin was stunned.

The students behind him were also taken aback.

"Master" Wen Bin was stunned, wondering if his uncle had given the wrong order.

"Don't kneel yet"

This voice, with unprecedented anger, made everyone extremely clear.

It was difficult for Wen Bin to continue to deceive himself, so he had to give up the temptation and kneel.

"Planting blame, borrowing a knife to kill people, this is the book of sages you read"

Wen Bin looked at Bishop Zhou in amazement. Uncle counted his crimes in public, whether this was to protect him, or to make him never turn over

Mei Xiaoren had already raised his long-standing eyes at the moment when Bishop Zhou asked Wen Bin to kneel, looking at the steps.

She was worried that Bishop Zhou was covering up her nephew, so she was worried about it, and only now did she know that Bishop Zhou was indeed worthy of the word "upright". Even if they don't have a master-apprentice relationship, he is a person worthy of her respect.

Wen Bin trembled and defended: "Master, I was confused, but I didn't want to kill anyone, I just wanted to teach him a lesson." ”

Bishop Zhou's voice was slightly cold: "The academy has the rules of the academy, and a mistake is a mistake, what the official just said, you can recognize it."

Wen Bin became more and more wooden, he really didn't know what fate he would recognize with this recognition.

"To admit it or not to admit it," Bishop Zhou asked in an aggravated tone.

The sound of discussion in the crowd immediately stopped. None of them had ever seen Bishop Zhou get so angry, let alone face his nephew

Wen Bin straightened his waist and said angrily: "Master, I'm not reconciled, Mei Xiaoren was born in the Shu clan and has a humble status, Master, how can you let him get close to the scholar, how can he be impressed by the scholar, how can he be worthy?"

"Then you deserve to kneel here and talk about right and wrong with the official" Bishop Zhou glared at Wen Bin angrily, his voice was cold and showed no mercy, "The official does not have a student like you, nor does he have a nephew like you"

Wen Bin was stunned for a moment when he listened, suddenly laughed a few times, and said lightly with calm eyes: "Then I don't know what the bishop wants to do with me, an outsider."

"You Can Plead Guilty"

"Admit it, why don't I admit it, everyone in the academy knows that I did it, why do you have to admit it." Wen Bin sneered, looked at Bishop Zhou and said, "Then please ask the Bishop to expel me from the academy, I haven't seen my mother for a few days, she must be very happy to see me go home, and I will definitely be grateful to the Bishop for reuniting our mother and son." ”

"Come, take off his robe" Bishop Zhou's face was as pale as iron, and the order was crisp.

Wen Bin knelt on the ground as if he had lost his soul, and let a few small servants come up and take off his proud robe in public.

He studied since he was a child and studied under Master Taifu, and only a family like Shangshu Mansion could invite Master Taifu to be a master, which was his pride.

The garment on his body was an honor he had earned after twenty years of hard study. He was born noble, his knowledge is difficult for everyone to reach, and there is no place worse than others, so why can a Shu untouchable steal his limelight

This time it was his negligence, he lost, but he did not regret it. Even if he was expelled from the academy, as long as Mei Xiaoren was still in Daning for a day, his Shangshu Mansion would not let this person go.

"From this day on, you will no longer be a student of the academy, but expelling you from the academy is not enough to atone for your sins." Bishop Zhou said indifferently, "There is no distinction between the students of the academy and the lowliness, you say that others are lowly, then from today on, you will move to the backyard to eat and live with the subordinates, and be in charge of cleaning, so as to experience your so-called lowliness." ”

Wen Bin was stunned, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Xun, how dare you do this to me, if it weren't for my father, you would be able to become the imperial history of the left capital" He stood up and pointed angrily at the people on the steps, "You were moved to Jinshan Academy because you bewitched His Royal Highness King Yu with your words, and you are to blame."

"Bring it down"

Bishop Zhou's order resounded through the square. was exposed by his nephew, and he was already furious.
