Chapter 264 The Control Group Quit Working (14)
Zhong Chen turned his face away, not even looking at Mo Ci's accusing eyes, but just looked at his teacher with a foolish smile.
Mo Ci: ...
I thought you were a very honest person, but I didn't expect you were just pretending.
Mo Ci simply put on an innocent face and met the gazes of Zhan Hongliang and Yan Zhishan, while ruthlessly dismantling Zhong Chen's plan.
"Uncle Zhong, you clearly forced all of this on me. How could you lie to my Master and Grandmaster? Uncle Zhong, this is wrong."
Zhong Chen: ...Why isn't his little nephew playing by the rules? He's used this trick on those younger students before, and it always works!
How could he know that Mo Ci was not a child, and naturally he didn't have the self-awareness of not interrupting the elders and listening attentively to what the elders said.
Mo Ci is never one to suffer a loss. He will either retaliate on the spot or wait until he is strong enough and the time is right before retaliating.
In short, Mo Ci eats everything but never suffers any loss!
As Mo Ci finished speaking, Zhan Hongliang's expression grew darker. Under the low pressure, even the tall Zhong Chen seemed to shrink a little.
"Zhong Chen! Not only did you deceive your master, you also tried to frame your nephew. I think you're just itching for trouble. Zhishan, give me the ruler."
Zhong Chen's eyes widened. "Stop, teacher. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yan, please don't use the ruler. Let me save some face in front of my nephew, teacher—!"
Zhong Chen begged for mercy, but he showed no intention of putting down the thing in his hand.
Mo Ci looked at Zhong Chen and knew at a glance that he was begging for mercy but had no intention of hiding. As for whether the final punishment would fall on him, that depended on Zhan Hongliang.
Yan Zhishan came over with the ruler in his hand with a faint smile on his face, but no matter how you looked at it, this smile seemed a bit sinister.
"Teacher, here comes the ruler."
Zhan Hongliang had an angry look on his face. He took the ruler and looked at Zhong Chen.
"You know how to beg for mercy now? Why didn't you think about the consequences when you were talking nonsense just now?!"
"Zhong Chen, have I ever taught you how to behave?"
Zhong Chen: "Be honest and sincere, integrate knowledge and action, treat others with kindness, be honest and trustworthy, and distinguish right from wrong..."
"Okay. Tell me what you did just now. What mistake did you make?"
Zhong Chen: "I deceived my teacher and used my nephew's name to satisfy my own selfish desires. Teacher, I truly know I was wrong."
Zhan Hongliang got angry when he heard this. The reason why he kept Zhong Chen by his side was not only because he could serve as a bodyguard, but also for another reason.
He is greedy for food and always uses other people's names to satisfy his own food.
He was afraid that if he didn't restrain people, something terrible would happen and he would regret it.
Who would have thought that just after arriving here, Zhong Chen would use his old tricks again.
It was also because Mo Ci did not follow the rules as well as other children, otherwise, he really would not have found an excuse to give Zhong Chen a good spur.
However, considering Zhong Chen's face, Zhan Hongliang glanced at Yan Zhishan, and Yan Zhishan immediately understood.
He left the private school again with Mo Ci, who had just entered the school.
After walking a long distance, Yan Zhishan took the things from Mo Ci's arms.
"How are you getting along with Zhong Chen?"
Mo Ci pondered for a moment, "Master Zhong is a very interesting person. Would Master have beaten Master Zhong too hard?"
Yan Zhishan smiled, "A small punishment but a big warning. Zhong Chen is a tough kid, so don't worry about him. Xiaoyi, why do you have to take the entrance exam so early?"
The topic suddenly changed, and even Yan Zhishan's tone became much heavier.
Mo Ci ate the candied haws while looking at Yan Zhishan with a determined gaze.
"I have the ability, so why couldn't I join earlier? Master, I'm not without your concerns, but I don't see them as an obstacle. On the contrary, they're just a driving force for me to move forward."
Yan Zhishan met Mo Ci's gaze, and it took a long time before he looked away and let out a long breath.
The teacher's words just now did not make him feel at ease, but Mo Ci's words made him feel relieved.
He is himself, Mo Ci is Mo Ci, he shouldn't use his own thoughts to shackle Mo Ci.
You should not act on your own and think that your ideas are correct.
After living for most of his life, he actually had a day when he was confused by his own situation.
"You're right, just do as you think. Jiang Yi, you are my student, I will make sure you have no worries."
This is a promise and also the teacher's love for his students.
Mo Ci nodded. It was a lucky thing for him to meet such a good teacher.
There are also Zhan Hongliang and Qingshan Academy, which will be of help to him in the future.
As for the king Sima Yehan, whom he did not understand, he would understand him one day and he would also think of the right way forward.
The two stood outside for a long time before Zhan Hongliang and Zhong Chen came out of the private school.
Zhong Chen didn't seem to have any problems, and Mo Ci was also very polite and only glanced at him before looking away.
But he didn't know that Zhong Chen was secretly gritting his teeth, feeling like crying but unable to do so.
For him, being beaten by Zhan Hongliang was not bad, but Zhan Hongliang beat him and assigned him heavy homework.
When he thought of this, Zhong Chen couldn't help but burst into tears.
He didn't have any thoughts about his nephew Mo Ci. After all, the fault was his own, and Mo Ci was just being picky and telling the truth.
That's right.
For the next month, Zhan Hongliang stayed here, going to the private school every day without fail, and also testing his teaching skills on the students there.
Within half a month, all the students in the private school began to fear Zhan Hongliang.
Oh, except Mo Ci.
Mo Ci was also the one who was tested the most by Zhan Hongliang. After each test, Zhan Hongliang would sigh and wonder why this person was not the good seedling he discovered.
Then I started counting the days, wondering when the college entrance examination would be next year.
When will Mo Ci go to Qingshan Academy?
The heated discussion about Mo Ci winning the first place in the Tongsheng case was gradually forgotten as time went by.
The people of Liushui Township often come into contact with the Jiang family, so topics in this regard are naturally unavoidable.
That day, Mo Ci rested and did not go to the private school.
I put down my book and prepared to go for a walk in the mountains. It would be even better if I could shoot some pheasants or rabbits.
He was craving for meat today, but before he even left the house, he saw a familiar-looking sister-in-law enter the Jiang family and started talking.
"Sister Cui, hey, do you still remember Qiu Zhi and her son?"
Qiuzhi?
Mo Ci returned to the study silently, pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
He is now a martial arts master, and he can still hear clearly what others are saying at this distance.
Then Cui Ai replied, "What? Qiu Zhi? Remember, didn't they move to a new place? Sister Lin, just tell me what you want to say."
Cui Ai was busy mixing food for the chickens, and she moved skillfully and even took the time to glance at the other person.
The woman surnamed Lin found a place to sit down. "Well, you know my parents' home is in Shili Town. It takes two days to get to Liushui Township. Didn't I go back to my parents' home the other day?"
Cui Ai nodded, "Ah."
"My husband wanted to honor my parents, so he went to town to buy some meat and wine. Guess what happened?"
Cui Ai: "What's going on?"
"I saw Qiu Zhi!"
Cui Ai: "Qiuzhi went to Shili Town? I remember she stayed in Changshui Township, didn't she?"
"Isn't it? I thought I was seeing things at first, so I took a closer look and it really was Qiu Zhi. And that Du Shizhou, the one who gave your Jiang Yi a gash in the head."
Cui Ai: "And then?"
"When I saw Du Shizhou, he was lying in bed. He looked sick. And Qiu Zhi looked much thinner."
Cui Ai: "I see. It seems she's not doing well after leaving Liushui Township."
"Isn't it? I later went to make inquiries and found out that Du Shizhou broke his leg on the day of the child exam and became a cripple. To me, this is tit-for-tat. He attacked Jiang Yi in the first place."
"Well now, evil has its consequences. Now your Jiang Yi is the top scorer in the Tongsheng exam, and that kid will be a cripple for the rest of his life. Bah! He deserves it!"
