Chapter 19: The Merits

"Yunyi, you don't want to slander Young Master Ben with empty white teeth, when does Young Master Ben owe you money?"

Zhou Kang, who was watching the excitement on the side, saw that Yunyi pointed the finger at him, and hurriedly said something to clear his mind.

"Oh? In that case, then I would like to ask, how did you know that I stole Liu Fuzi's poems? ”

Yun Yi's face sank like water, and his tone was cold.

While asking, he approached Zhou Kang step by step.

This momentum instantly reminded Zhou Kang of the scene when he was chased and slashed by Yun Yi with a firewood knife.

At that time, Yun Yi's face was covered with blood, like a mad demon, like an evil ghost crawling out of the Nine Hells.

For a while, Zhou Kang was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

"I ...... I heard it in a restaurant......"

Taken by Yunyi's momentum, Zhou Kang saw that there was no way to retreat, so he had to tell his source.

After listening to Zhou Kang's words, those clan elders instantly looked at Yunshan with a pale face.

The crowd of onlookers, after listening to Zhou Kang's answer, couldn't help but be stunned, and then began to discuss.

"I thought he had proof! It turned out to be just hearsay! ”

"The patriarch is really, just because of a rumor that I don't know whether it's true or not, there was such a big battle!"

"There is no wind and no waves, could it be that Master Liu can still lie?"

"I don't think that rumor may come from the mouth of Master Liu."

……

As for Yun Shan, he was already shocked by Zhou Kang's words at this time.

When Zhou Kang came to him, he said that it was called an oath.

He originally thought that in Zhou Kang's hands, there must be evidence that Yun Yi had embezzled Liu Fuzi's poems.

But now it seems that this kid turned out to be just empty white teeth.

I still trust him so much.

The shaft hurts me!

Yun Shan's face was bitter, and his eyes when he looked at Zhou Kang couldn't help but complain.

In fact, in this matter, you really can't throw all the responsibility on Zhou Kang.

Since the last time he was scared to pee by Yun Yi carrying a firewood knife, he has held a grudge against Yun Yi.

During this period, he didn't think about looking for Yunyi for revenge.

But because Yunyi is a scholar, his Zhou family is a real businessman's family.

In the hierarchical Great Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou family naturally did not dare to offend Yun Yi, who was a scholar, to death.

After all, the reason why Yunyi chased and cut Zhou Kang with a firewood knife was also because Zhou Kang beat people first.

If Yunyi went to the county government to report to the official, Zhou Kang would definitely be imprisoned.

Therefore, after Zhou Wangcai, the head of the Zhou family, learned what happened, he kept pressing Zhou Kang to prevent him from taking revenge on Yunyi.

Yesterday, when Zhou Kang was eating in his restaurant, he overheard someone talking about Yunyi.

After some inquiry, I learned that Yunyi was not only removed from the name of Master Liu, but also offended all the masters in ten miles and eight towns.

In this way, doesn't it mean that Yunyi has completely cut off the possibility of continuing to study?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Kang's mind couldn't help but come alive.

And this time, Zhou Wangcai did not stop his son again.

Zhou Kang wanted to continue to collect debts, but considering that Yun Yi had just won a reward of five taels of silver.

If you want to force Shen Youwei to comply, you have to knock Yunyi into the dust first.

After some investigation, Zhou Kang learned that Yunyi not only had three dilapidated houses, but also had a few acres of fertile land in his hands.

If he persecuted too hard, Yunyi could also sell his land to pay off his debts.

Just when Zhou Kang was at a loss, he also learned that the grandson of the patriarch Yunshan had also reached the age of enlightenment.

So Zhou Kang hit Yun Shan with his idea.

He first got in touch with Yunshan through the news, and then intentionally or unintentionally proposed that he would help his grandson deal with the school.

At this time, Yunshan was worried about those few acres of land, and after listening to the news brought by Zhou Kang, he was naturally ecstatic.

So there was a drama of forcing Yunyi to hand over the property.

As for the rumors that Yunyi misappropriated Liu Fuzi's poems, it was only that Liu Fuzi deliberately spread it to confuse the public.

After Yunyi left the school that day, the more Liu Fuzi thought about it, the more worried he became.

If the news of his unknown people spreads, I'm afraid his school will come to an end.

Worried, Liu Fuzi thought of a plan.

In the past few days, he has been spreading to the outside world, saying that Yunyi's "Jiang Xue", which won the first place in the poetry meeting, was made by him when he was swimming in the river in winter.

This poem has been placed on his desk, but at some point it was secretly read by Yun Yi.

Due to Yunyi's poor popularity, coupled with the fact that Master Liu watched coldly, the students in the school who knew the truth naturally did not dare to divulge the truth.

And those masters who competed for Yunyi also held a grudge because they were dismissed in public.

In order to save face, there is naturally no pressure to do things that fall into the ground.

The rights and wrongs of it, Yunyi didn't bother to pay attention to it.

At this time, since he knew that Zhou Kang had no conclusive evidence, if he didn't beat the water dog, then he wouldn't be Yunyi.

"So, you admit you're slandering me?"

Although Yun Yi was talking to Zhou Kang, his eyes were already looking at Yun Shan and several clan elders.

I saw that he seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, and his eyes were full of banter and ridicule.

"Yunyi, even if you are dropped out of school because you can't afford to pay the bundles, then you will be dropped out of school by the master."

"If you can't even afford to go to school, you will naturally lose the treatment of a scholar."

"It is only natural that I will take back your property now according to the rules."

Yun Shan didn't expect that nine out of ten things would develop into such a situation.

But after all, he has been the patriarch for so many years, and after being a little stunned, he grasped the key to the matter.

As long as he grasps the reason why Yunyi can no longer continue to study, he can confidently take back those few acres of land.

"Who says I don't read anymore?"

Yun Yi didn't pay attention to Yun Shan, who had a gloomy face, but asked rhetorically.

"You can't even pay the money for the private school, and now you have offended all the masters in ten miles and eight towns, how can you continue to study?"

"How I study is my own business, and now there are only a few months left until next year's county exam, why don't we make a bet?"

After all, Yun Shan is the patriarch, and Yun Yi has not yet moved to the city's capital, so it is not a wise move to have a stalemate with the village at this time.

Now that the merits have been clarified, Yunyi is not ready to continue the stalemate.

As long as you give yourself a few more months, won't the sea be wide and let the birds fly by leaping into the sky?

"How to bet?"

Yun Shan saw that Yun Yi took the initiative to hand over the steps, and of course he didn't dare to continue to entangle.

Otherwise, even if he can take back those few acres of land today, I am afraid that his prestige in the village will be gone.

"Next year's county test, if I pass by luck, then my family's land property will be at my disposal."

"But what if you can't pass the test?"

"Then don't worry about the patriarch, I will give the Tian Qi with both hands."

"A gentleman's word."

"Whip it up."

"In this case, then ask the clan elders and all the clan relatives to be witnesses!"

"Yes."

The two agreed on the content of the gambling contract, so they asked people to find a pen and paper to write a contract.

Yun Yi and Yun Shan each signed the contract and handed it over to the clan elder.

Yunshan had already decided that Yunyi could not pass the county exam, so he no longer forced Yunyi.

After all, if you do things too desperately, it will indeed cause criticism.

And the crowd of onlookers, seeing that they were no longer lively, also began to leave in twos and threes.

Zhou Kang saw that Yunyi resolved the crisis in a few words, although he was not angry in his heart, he did not dare to continue to stay.

In case Yunshan and they come back to their senses, they will come to him again for trouble with Zhou Kang.

That's really stealing chickens and rice.

Just when Zhou Kang wanted to go out, he was frozen on the spot by Yun Yi's cold voice.

"Wait, am I letting you go?!"
