He Wenxuan was the head of the Tianji Pavilion and a Rank Two official. He had the backing of Grand Secretary Cui. Even the Evergreen Academy didn’t want to fight him head-on. How could their family and friends dare to offend him? If He Wenxuan wanted to take revenge, he didn’t even need to show up. Just a word from him could make people wish they were dead.
The truth was similar to what he had guessed. Not long after Wan Guoqiang and the others died, the True Dragon Palace received the news. Soon after, He Wenxuan also received the news. When he heard that the three of them had escaped back to the capital, he spread the word that no one was allowed to help them. Otherwise, they would be his enemies! This scene happened.
Plop!
When the three of them got close, they really did not care about their faces at all. Or rather, what had happened during this period of time had made them see clearly that living was more important than anything else. They knelt on the ground and hugged Zhang Ronghua’s thigh. They cried and complained about their tragic experiences.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t kick them away and let the three of them hug his thigh. In the eyes of others, these three were trash, but in his eyes, they were still useful. If they were used well, the effect would be great. Otherwise, he would have sent them on their way back on the Red Plain Public Road.
After experiencing the fickleness of the world, if you gave them a little warmth at this time and fooled them a little, they would be grateful and completely work for you.
Faction?
What Changqing Academy had done this time had already made them disappointed and completely give up! As long as they could stand up again, the first enemy would be He Wenxuan, and the second would be the Evergreen Academy. No matter how miserable their grievances were, they would be ruthless when it came to revenge. They would become his diehard fighters, like training dogs. With just a glance from Zhang Ronghua, the three of them would charge forward, howling, no matter who the enemy was, and pounce on them to bite them to death.
When they were tired of crying and complaining, he squatted down and met the hopeful eyes of the three of them. He said seriously, “They’re going too far! He actually treated the three lords like this. He didn’t give them face. Just based on the countless contributions the three lords had made over the years, they shouldn’t be treated like this.”
“Lord Zhang, we are already at our wits ‘end. Please give us a bite on account of our past relationship. ‘”‘
If he wanted them to be willing to sell their lives, he would have to crush the hope in their hearts and stomp on their dignity. He would let them know that everything they had was given to them by themselves.
“What do you mean?” Zhang Ronghua pretended to be surprised. You all have families in the capital. Why are you even worse than beggars? And still living on the streets?”
“This bunch of ingrates! He was afraid that He Wenxuan would bear a grudge against us, so he didn’t dare to let us go home and even chased us out. What’s more, he even let those pig-like guards beat us up!”
The two main registrar of the directorate took over the topic and said fiercely, “It’s best if they don’t let us get up. Otherwise, we’ll remember all the grievances we’ve suffered! We’ll take them one by one. Evergreen Academy, our former colleagues, and our families, we’ll pay them back double for how they treated us!”
He looked at Zhang Ronghua with hope, afraid that he would run away or leave them to die. If that happened, they would be completely finished.
Even He Wenxuan’s political enemy was unwilling to accept him. Who would dare to help them in the huge capital?
The Chancellor of the Imperial College was the first to express his stance.” Please give us a chance. As long as we can stand up and get out of this predicament, we will be your people in the future. As long as you say the word, not to mention He Wenxuan, even Grand Secretary Cui won’t frown and fight to the death!”
The remaining two people also expressed their stance. Their attitudes were very low and they did not have any dignity at all.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t agree immediately. He pretended to ponder,””This official is only the master of the Scholar Hall, how can I help the three sirs?
Don’t mention this again.”
Seeing that the three of them were disappointed, his spirit was instantly sucked dry. He continued, “No matter what, we are all comrades. I can’t bear to see the three of you end up like this. I’ll take you to wash up and have a good meal.”
The three of them were stunned. The first half of the sentence made them feel as if they had fallen into an abyss. Their hearts were cold. Even Zhang Ronghua was unwilling to help them. Who would dare to lend a helping hand? The second half of his sentence gave them hope again. He was old and shrewd. He did not immediately refuse. This meant that there was still room for negotiation. It just depended on whether they were worth it for him to take action.
After thinking about the reason, she stood up excitedly from the ground. With tacit understanding, she formed a triangle and surrounded Zhang Ronghua, afraid that he would run away in the next second.
Zhang Ronghua did not seem to notice their thoughts. He continued to smile and led them to the Education Bureau…
North Gate.
The Time Treasure-Seeking Mouse fled all the way and finally arrived at the capital. Looking at the tall city walls and the patrolling soldiers, its eyes shone with unprecedented brilliance. It was glad that it had finally escaped to the capital before they caught up. No matter how powerful they were, they would not dare to mess around here.
As long as he hid well, finding him in the huge capital was like finding a needle in a haystack. If he made a slight commotion, he would attract the experts of the imperial court. At that time, they would only die.
Shu Sheng was excited. He raised his two front paws, and black and white spiritual light flashed. He used his innate ability and quickly dug a hole. Like a whirlwind, he entered the capital from underground and rushed forward..
