PFC Chapter 294: Cheating and Being Beaten
Chapter 294: Cheating and Being Beaten
"Excuse me for being blunt, but Miss Fourth's plan to use illness as a means of escaping the palace from danger is probably not going to work."
Li Yuncheng expressed his concerns.
After taking a sip of tea, Su Qingwan said, "Your Highness is worrying too much. Claiming to be sick is not a solution. I won't use it."
Because I use real diseases!
After hearing this, Li Yuncheng became even more confused, but before he could say anything, cheers came from downstairs.
"Congratulations, Mr. Dong. Congratulations, Mr. Dong. Today's debate will be won by Dong Minde, Mr. Dong!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Dong!"
"Brother Dong is very knowledgeable and talented. We admire him very much."
"Brother Dong, could you please leave me a painting of yours? I will hang it in my study when I return, so that scholars all over the world can admire it."
A chorus of flattering voices surrounded Dong Min De.
"You're welcome. You're too polite. My victory is all thanks to all of you. Thank you very much, thank you very much!" Dong Minde said with a hearty smile, and at the same time clasped his hands together and saluted to the people around him.
In the private room, Li Yuncheng looked at the platform below and said to Su Qingwan, "That man's name is Dong Minde, and he is the eldest young master of the Xiangfu."
"Dong Qinshuang's elder brother?" Su Qingwan's heart moved. She hadn't heard from Dong Qinshuang for a long time. She wondered if she had been carried into the East Palace quietly.
"Yes!" said Li Yuncheng.
"Isn't the prince going to hold a grand wedding?"
"It will be done. Some officials in the court have already proposed to bring forward the Crown Prince's wedding, vaguely with the intention of bringing good luck."
Li Yuncheng's voice became a little colder.
"I'm not afraid of losing the person. Do you think he can hold on until that time?" Su Qingwan asked again.
"Even the imperial physician can't answer this question for you, so how can I know? The people guarding the Prince's Mansion were secretly replaced by people from the Secret Guard Camp by His Majesty." Li Yuncheng said.
Dark Guard Camp?
Su Qingwan recalled that it seemed that her master had mentioned to her, and asked her to go to them if she had any problems, but she could solve the problems she encountered by herself, so she did not bother them.
"It seems that the emperor still values the prince very much."
As soon as Su Qingwan finished speaking, a thunderous roar came from downstairs.
"Dong Minde, you despicable villain, you actually cheated! I will beat you to death."
"boom!"
A dull punch hit Dong Minde's eye socket hard, causing him to cry out in pain instantly. Stars appeared in front of his eyes and he fell to the ground in a mess.
But this is not the end yet, someone is riding on him and beating him all over the head.
"We are all equals in the debate. Not only can you not keep up with us, but you even cheated. You really bring shame to us scholars."
"shameless!"
"One bad apple spoils the whole barrel."
"Hit him!"
Many students below started fighting, and many of them shouted "disgraceful", but in fact they used many dirty tricks to beat Dong Minde.
"Stop, stop it now. Do you know who my master is? My master is the eldest son of the prime minister's family. You can't hit him." A servant couldn't squeeze in and could only shout loudly outside the crowd.
"So what if I'm the eldest son of the prime minister's mansion? I'm still the young master of the prince's mansion!"
A louder voice came from the crowd. It was the man who was holding down Dong Minde and beating him up.
Su Qingwan was sure that she was not mistaken. The man was her eldest cousin from the palace, Li Yulang.
The person who kept kicking Dong Minde was his elder brother, Su Yuewen.
But it can be seen that the eldest brother controlled the strength, otherwise Dong Minde would have been beaten to death long ago.
"The Jingzhao Yin's men are coming, run!"
I don't know who shouted, but all the scholars and students who were watching the performance dispersed and soon the stage was empty.
After being surrounded, Su Qingwan also saw the situation on the stage clearly.
Li Yulang changed his usual handsome appearance, grabbed Dong Minde by the collar, and slapped him in the face again and again.
Dong Minde was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and bloody, and he looked extremely miserable.
However, Su Qingwan could tell at a glance that these were just superficial injuries and did not cause any damage to the root.
However, once the news that the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion cheated in the debate society spread, the reputation of their Prime Minister's Mansion plummeted.
And with Li Yuncheng here, I think this matter will soon be reported to the palace, and Dong Minde’s career will be ruined in the future.
"Don't you want to go down and take a look? The one who beat the man up is Li Yulang." Li Yuncheng asked.
Su Qingwan shook her head slightly. "It's useless for me to go down. Besides, Dong Minde has incurred public anger. It's not just cousin Yulang who beat him up like that."
When the Jingzhao Yin's men appeared, they saw the man on the stage with his face covered in blood, and they couldn't recognize who he was.
"Who beat him up like this?"
"Everyone has his own consequences. I was the one who did it," said Li Yulang.
"And me!" Su Yuewen also said.
Li Yulang glared at Su Yuewen and said, "Those few moves of yours were just like tickling, they are useless at all. Don't make trouble here."
"Boss, when I first came in, I saw that it was indeed this man who grabbed him and beat him." said a policeman.
"Well, take him away!"
Li Yulang was pushed outside by Jingzhao Yin's men. Su Yuewen wanted to follow him, but he didn't do so in the end.
It wasn't because they were timid, but the two of them had already made up their minds.
Dong Minde, who was unable to move on the ground, was also carried out.
Su Yuewen hurried upstairs to find Su Qingwan, but unexpectedly saw her at the stairs.
"Brother, I saw everything that happened just now. Let's go to Jingzhao Yin first." Su Qingwan said hurriedly.
"Okay!" Su Yuewen naturally agreed.
In the Zhuangyuan Building, the scholars and students who had been hiding just now came out, and no one knew who shouted.
"He is justified in cheating. He deserves to be beaten to death. I have to go to Jingzhao Yin to testify."
"I'll go too. We can't let those villains get the upper hand."
"Let's go, let's all go. We all saw it just now. Dong Minde was the one who made the mistake first."
A group of people shouted and left Zhuangyuan Building together.
A large crowd gathered in front of the gate of Jingzhao Yin's yamen, many of whom had heard about the excitement and rushed over to take a look.
Lord Cui, the Jingzhao Yin, felt overwhelmed. He thought it was just a trivial matter among ordinary students.
Take him to the government office, give him a few scoldings, and ask him to pay some medical expenses, and the matter will be settled.
But after listening to the report, I realized that this was no small matter!
The person who was beaten was Dong Minde, the eldest son of Prime Minister Dong. He had been loved and valued by the Prime Minister since he was a child.
The one who beat the man was Li Yulang, the eldest son of Prince Yi's Mansion. The old prince who commanded a large number of troops was not easy to mess with, not to mention the old princess who was as scary as a yaksha.
He can't afford to offend any of the forces behind these two people!
No matter which one he offends, he will be dead.
At this time, Lord Cui felt that his future was bumpy and that his official position would probably last only so long.
Alas! Why didn't the people who reported the matter to the Dali Temple report it to the Dali Temple? It would be better to go to the Dali Temple to cause trouble, why bother with a small local official like him.
"Sir, we should go to class."
