Chapter 69: Expulsion from the Academy

readx;

Hearing Su Qi say that he wanted to reduce Li Shutong's punishment, Mr. Chen felt relieved and thought, "This kid is not too ignorant of the rules. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Hearing Su Qi's latter words, Mr. Chen's face instantly became gloomy.

What a scheming boy!

After all, Mr. Chen has been in the officialdom for many years, how could he not understand Su Qi's twists and turns? Su Qi looks generous on the surface, but in fact, he wants to kill these people!

The people who fanned the flames behind Su Qi naturally did not refer to Zou Junhao. Zou Junhao's energy was too great, and he didn't appear at all, so he didn't leave any handle. Su Qi did not have any evidence to prove that these people were instructed by Zou Junhao, so naturally they could not pose any threat to Zou Junhao.

Su Qi deliberately reduced the punishment of Li Shutong, just to isolate Li Shutong, and expelling other Zou Junhao's henchmen from the school palace was his ultimate goal!

Most of these students who are attached to Zou Junhao are from some small families, and their status cannot be compared with Su Qi at all, and they are dispensable for the school palace.

Moreover, this proposal can be said to be justified, and it is too easy to put the blame on these followers. It is impossible for Zou Junhao to stand out for these innocuous characters, after all, Su Qi's reasons are too sufficient.

For Li Shutong, he now has two options: one is not to accept Su Qi's kindness, take responsibility for the crime himself, and risk offending the Su family, but still stand on Zou Junhao's side with all his heart. The second is to push the boat along the river, taking this opportunity to put all the blame on a few scapegoats, but in this way, it also offended Zou Junhao.

Mr. Chen knew Su Qi's idea very well, but he was helpless, because this was a real conspiracy. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Li Shutong: "Shutong, what do you say? If it is instigated by others, it doesn't matter if you say it's okay, it's not your guilt, and you don't need to bear it for others." ā€

Li Shutong knelt on the ground, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. At this time, there was a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, should he sacrifice these followers, or should he stand up and show his loyalty to Zou Junhao?

Su Qi smiled slightly, leaned over and patted Li Shutong's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Shouldn't you be hesitating now, do you want to take the blame yourself? Think about it, 'that person' hates me to the bone, but such a good opportunity for revenge didn't even appear at all, why is this?"

Li Shutong's whole body shook violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Yes, why didn't Zou Junhao come by himself? He didn't even want to take this risk, how could he save me from fire and water after the matter was revealed? If I still die on the same boat with him now, wouldn't I have to be his scapegoat if I encounter this kind of thing in the future?"

Thinking of this, Li Shutong felt a deep fear. In the end, Li Shutong found that he couldn't trust Zou Junhao at all.

"The student was confused for a while, and was deceived by others, thinking that someone was impostoring, so he came to identify him with righteous indignation, but he didn't expect to be used by the villain, and I hope Master Chen will see it!" Li Shutong said tremblingly.

"Oh, who do you mean by 'villain'?" asked Mr. Chen.

He saw that Li Shutong finally compromised, and he was disappointed in his heart. Seeing that his beloved student was forced to say such a thing, Mr. Chen looked at Su Qi's eyes, and he was a little more angry.

"It's a few of them, right?" Su Qi pointed to the four students who came with Li Shu.

These four students are very close to Zou Junhao, Li Shutong and others on weekdays, otherwise they would not have come with Li Shutong. They all come from small families, so they are attached to Zou Junhao.

All four of them were so frightened that they knelt down, and they didn't dare to breathe. The titles of "Wen Xinjun's grandson" and "the eldest grandson of the Su family" are too heavy, and they can't afford to provoke them at all.

Being expelled from the school palace means that they have lost the opportunity to contact the upper echelons of Yan officialdom in a sense, and their career as adults can be said to be bleak.

What's more, no one knows what kind of impact this incident will have on their family.

Li Shutong knew that Su Qi deliberately pointed it out now, hoping that he would identify these four people. Su Qi wanted to expel all four people from the school palace, not just one person.

"Yes! it's them!" Li Shutong gritted his teeth and bowed his head.

"Shutong, you, you can't do this to us!"

"Yes, Shutong, you also know that this matter is not our idea......"

Several disciples were all panicked and said in a gossipy manner.

"Shut up, do you still want to quibble!" Mr. Chen patted the book case, "Chi Buping, take them to the cardinal's office, I will personally ask the school palace for this matter, and it must be dealt with seriously!"

Su Qi secretly laughed, the reason why Mr. Chen immediately convicted these four people was that he was afraid that these people would panic and open their mouths and shake out the matter of Li Shutong or Zou Junhao in public. If that's the case, the school palace is really difficult to deal with.

On one side is Wen Xinjun, who is famous in the government and the opposition, and on the other side is the big Situ who leans towards the government and the opposition, if he really tears his face, I don't know how big an earthquake will be. This is not something that the Zhaowu Academy Palace can afford.

Now it's just sacrificing these four people, and it's insignificant to the school palace at all. Therefore, Mr. Chen made a decision immediately and did not give these four people any chance to argue at all.

Chi Buping took the four students down, all of whom seemed to be distracted and completely resigned to fate.

"Shutong, get up, although you have been deceived by others, and you have extenuating circumstances, you will also be punished. Fortunately, Su Gongzi is broad-minded, so he will be punished according to his proposal, do you have any opinions?" asked Mr. Chen.

"Don't dare! Thank you Su Gongzi for raising your noble hand!" Li Shutong stood up, bowed deeply at Su Qi, and walked away.

After this incident is over, Li Shutong will inevitably break with Zou Junhao, plus the four people who were expelled from the school palace, this time it will be a great blow to Zou Junhao.

Su Qi knew that if he directly pointed the finger at Zou Junhao, it would not have any effect at all. But if it hits the people around him, it will be a dozen.

"Alright, that's over, let's all disperse. You can go too, where did you come from, where did you go back!" Mr. Chen said to Su Gongzi of Anping County.

"Yes!" That Su Gongzi was already frightened, and when he heard this sentence, he turned around and left, probably leaving Zhaowu on the same day.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Mr. Chen looked at Su Qi and said coldly, "Satisfied?"

Su Qi said indifferently: "What does the old gentleman mean?"

"Don't think I don't know your thoughts. Revenge, cutting off dissidents, so many ghost tricks at a young age, really staining Wen Xinjun's first reputation!" Mr. Chen said angrily.
