Two officers and soldiers jumped onto the ladder, tied the rope tightly to the wooden pillar of the house in front of them, and then took down the plaque, and the three big characters of 'counselor' slowly fell to the ground.

"Ready," the guard raised his hand beside him.

"One, two, three, pull!"

The rope was strangled by more than a dozen people, and it broke in an instant, and the house collapsed like a crumble.

After the soldiers cleared the battlefield, they escorted the people in the courtyard in an orderly manner and retreated; They then closed the doors of the college and put a seal on the door panel to show that they would never be allowed to enter.

Those found to be accomplices were sent directly to prison and tortured; And the 'main criminals' like Zhu Che, because they were quite virtuous in the local area, were really humiliated, so they moved to the experience department together, and made Song Zhang live in a compartment and not let them see each other.

Zhu Che calmed down in the division for a day, and he was relieved from the depression of closing the academy, but it was still unforgettable, everything was developing too quickly, like a dream and unreal.

He really wanted to find out, especially what Wang Zhengui was planning, he still couldn't figure it out. So, he whispered to the guard, "Can you ...... Let Wang Yan come over and meet me. ”

The guards didn't dare to slack off, and only hugged their fists: "Mr. Zhu feels panicked in his heart, so the villain will go to find Lord Wang." ”

When Wang Zhengui was talking to the prefect, he saw the guards coming and asked what was going on. The guard told the truth of the matter, which made Wang Zhengui laugh.

The prefect had a solemn face and admonished Zhengui: "Jingui, the academy is newly dead, I'm afraid that Zhu Che's thief heart is not dead, there will be a trick, and you must not go." ”

Zhen Gui smiled indifferently again: "Zhu Che has no talent, he is so depressed today, how dare he mention the matter of the academy again?" I'll just relieve his worries and boredom, and the government can rest assured! ”

Zhu Che paced anxiously in the room, his steps getting faster and louder—but suddenly, the footsteps echoing inside the room were inaudible.

Song Zhang, who was next door, had a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly lay down in front of the window, poked a paper hole with his fingers, and peeked out.

"Jin ......"

After Zhu Che saw Wang Zhengui, he subconsciously flashed a surprised gaze, but in a blink of an eye, he was washed away by the memory, and he remembered this person's betrayal.

“…… Jin-kyu, you're here. He turned, his tone half-cold.

"See Mr. Zhu." Wang Zhengui is still so calm.

Zhu Che didn't return the salute, only glanced at the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

Jin Gyu sighed softly and sat down on the Taishi chair.

"Are you ......" Zhu Che wanted to ask, but he coughed twice and stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, Wang Zhengui seemed to have just reacted: "You want to say, why should I betray the academy, right?" ”

Zhu Che nodded thoughtfully.

"I didn't plan to do anything for the academy from the beginning, and I have always regarded it as a stepping stone to promotion and fortune," Wang Zhengui said lightly. ”

"Why are you so motivated under Xia Yuanlong? I don't believe you're acting for others from start to finish. Zhu Che finally opened his mouth.

Wang Zhengui said: "Mr. Zhu, ask yourself, can the new policy of this Politics Academy be successful?" ”

These words almost asked him in his heart, and he only replied cowardly: "No...... No. ”

"If I can't make it, why should I get stuck here? It's all imaginary things, fake things, and if you give up your hypocrisy to seek the truth of the future, how can you bear the word betrayal? ”

Zhu Che shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Jin Gui is really a person who knows the current affairs......"

"Rather than letting a academy that can't become a climate after all, toss the people, and toss Suzhou, it's better for everyone to be quiet." Wang Zhengui dusted his sleeves and said.

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Che looked up to the sky and sighed, "If Jin Gui and I saw it thoroughly, maybe I wouldn't be obsessed with it." ”

"You can say it," Wang Zhengui said, "but Xia Yuanlong will definitely not let go, and there will be a meaningless struggle in Nanjing." ”

A few days later, the prefect had convicted all the 96 villains in the academy, including 30 exiles (16 later died of illness), 44 were detained on the spot, 20 were only punished with rods, and two of the people who should be killed were Zhu Che and Song Zhang. However, the government remembered that they were old and had old merits, so they pardoned their crimes and only dismissed them from their official positions.

The academy was finally bought by a wealthy householder, smashed the original house, and redecorated it again, making it more magnificent than the original. Wang Zhengui was promoted to Songjiang Tongju, and after another five years, he entered the Beijing division to worship the household department, and perhaps he soared all the way.

The matter in Suzhou came to an end, but at that time Nanjing had already seen the battle, and the dark clouds of party strife seemed to have disappeared.

A month ago. Nanjing, inside Sihe Academy.

Xia Yuanlong arrived in the dust, and before he could clean up, he hurriedly walked into the outer study, his face to Wei Huai, and he bowed.

Wei Huai was already a little ashamed, but now seeing him worship him like this, he was even more embarrassed: "Brother Xia Xian, Brother Xia Xian, Wei has hurt you before and after, how can you stand your ...... like this"

Xia Yuanlong also knew that it was useless to be angry, so he grabbed Wei Huai's hand and patiently persuaded: "The development of the situation is beyond your expectations, and the so-called lightning is as fast as he said. And the people have that enterprising ambition, and it is enough to strengthen the courage of the whole hospital, so why bother with this success. ”

Wei Huai was quite relieved at this time, patted Yuanlong's hand and said, "Renying's words are very true. ”

Xia Yuanlong calmed his breath and wiped his sweat: "What the scholar said, there are seven or eight points true, right?" ”

"Oh, I asked him just now," Wei Huai took the rattan crutch in his hand, "It is indeed no different from the current situation, that is, Wan Dang asked me to join Lu Fangxuan." Hu Qi also sent people to persuade me repeatedly that I should show some sincerity and not be perfunctory. ”

"What do the gentlemen in the alliance think?" Xia Yuanlong was not in a hurry, and planned to understand the situation first.

Wei Huai knocked on the crutches three times, and frowned: "The response is not good, and a few people with high moral standing feel that it is a matter of smashing the signboard, and only a few young people support it." ”

"But I'm thinking about it again......" Without waiting for Yuanlong to speak, Wei Huai continued, "In order to establish a political participation, we will go to curry favor with the Wan Party, so what is the difference between us and President Zhu in Suzhou?" ”

What Xia Yuanlong was most annoyed by hearing the opinions of dissidents, and seeing Wei Huai's hesitation, he shook his head and said: "The two cannot be compared, we and the Wan Party are only cooperating for a while, and we will be even more enemies in the future, how can we compare with those soft bones in Suzhou?" ”

"Then I still believe you. In other words, how can the people in the league persuade? The initial sprouts in Wei Huai's heart were quickly cut off.

Xia Yuanlong smiled at him confidently: "The people only care about writing reference books with peace of mind, and Yuanlong has his own magic method." ”
