Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Immature Little Suggestions
Cen Hong followed the county magistrate to the back hall of the County Government Office, and the rest of the people were allowed to disperse.
Without saying a word, Qiao Xiaomai, Dong Sanlang, and Hua Xiaofeng turned around and headed towards the door.
Sun Junyan stared hard at their retreating figures, his eyes filled with resentment.
He had been saving his face for his marriage to a noble lady.
His promising future has been destroyed in one fell swoop, how could he swallow this insult!
Revenge, he must take a ruthless revenge!
The hatred in Sun Junyan’s eyes was so intense that it almost materialized. Qiao Xiaomai raised her eyebrows, jumped onto the carriage, and said, “Sanlang, after returning to Bailu Town, ride your horse quickly back to the manor to get some sweet potatoes, beans, and Xiaomi. Then write a letter to His Highness Prince Wei. I happen to have a immature suggestion that I want to tell him.”
Dong Sanlang grunted in response, flicked his whip, and the ox cart started to move.
Standing in the Main Hall, Sun Junyan heard Qiao Xiaomai’s words and couldn’t help grinding his teeth.
Previously, Qiao Xiaomai often used the “Daqi Law” to make a point, insisting on following the “Daqi Law” in all matters. Now, having injured someone first, she dared to use Prince Wei to pressure him.
So what about Prince Wei?
However powerful he is, can he be more powerful than the “Daqi Law”?
The incident today must be dealt with according to the “Daqi Law”!
Otherwise, he would personally go to the Capital City to file a complaint!
“What’s your immature suggestion?” After returning to Bailu Town and leaving Hua Xiaofeng to take care of Zhuang Luhe, Dong Sanlang asked Qiao Xiaomai before heading out.
Qiao Xiaomai smiled and said, “I don’t know if Sun Junyan’s face will be scarred after he heals. If he does have a scar, a man with a ghastly scar on his face, such a man being an official would tarnish the reputation of Daqi.”
“There are plenty of scholars in the world, isn’t it just him?”
“Add this rule to the “Daqi Law”, cutting off Sun Junyan’s path completely.”
“Uh…But that seems unfair to others who may unintentionally get facial injuries…” Dong Sanlang hesitated for a moment.
“If it’s unfair, we can remove it later. This rule is specifically designed to target Sun Junyan. Besides, I suspect that there were irregularities in his exams. Hmm, before the Imperial Examination, he was busy hosting banquets to befriend other scholars and frequenting the high-ranking officials in the Prefecture City, bustling about like a butterfly.”
“For someone who’s so busy socializing to win the second place in the entire Prefecture City against all the other scholars, he’s neither a prodigy nor a genius, there’s definitely something fishy!”
Sun Junyan’s demeanor in the court today, wasn’t just being neither humble nor arrogant, no, it wasn’t that, it was arrogance.
Sun Junyan, this man, is always trying to climb up the ladder. When he encounters someone of higher rank than him, he is almost obsequious.
But today, facing the county magistrate, he showed none of his usual obsequiousness, even appearing confrontational.
He stands so straight, this shows that he’s confident in his future.
So confident that he didn’t even consider the county magistrate in his equation.
A mere scholar, not caring about the county magistrate, does it mean his path ahead is already paved?
With such an attitude, despite still having to get through the unpredictable final Imperial Examination, there’s something suspicious.
There’s definitely something suspicious.
Even if there isn’t anything suspicious, there’s no harm in getting Yang Ye to investigate, is there?
After all, Sun Junyan’s actions are too abnormal! Get full chapters from novᴇlfire.net
“Without any proof, we shouldn’t accuse him. After all, Prince Duan is backing Sun Junyan. We need to be careful to avoid being accused of slandering Prince Duan.” Dong Sanlang expressed some concerns.
