Chapter 69 Let's Bury Together
Shangjing Academy,

The academy is located on Luming Mountain, more than ten miles outside the city.

Looking from a distance, you can see the dots of lights on the mountainside. Most of them were born in bitter cold, and finally entered the world-famous academy.

outside the school,
Cai Mingqi looked through the window paper, it was still daytime inside, dozens of students were studying hard under a dozen oil lamps, studying word by word.

There are two old scholars with rich experience and rich heads beside them who are explaining their doubts. The students who ask for answers are all listening patiently, sometimes they suddenly become enlightened, and sometimes they bury their heads in deep thought.

"Ugh……"

Cai Mingqi looked at the bitter cold students in the school who were studying at night with the lights on, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, but when he thought of the position of the Guozijian's sacrificial wine, he was firm again.

"Boom..."

The old wooden door of the school was knocked open, and the dust fell down. The students looked up and saw an old man in a long gown staggering in.

look intently,

It's the dean of Shangjing Academy, but now he doesn't have the calm and gentle appearance of the past, not to mention the dust and mud, his expression is even more distraught.

"Dean, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Mr. Xi hurriedly put down his books, helped Cai Mingqi, who was sloppy on his feet, and asked, and the students behind him also hurriedly surrounded him, looking at the latter with concern.

"Ugh……"

Cai Mingqi let out a long sigh and didn't rush to answer. Instead, he asked dejectedly: "Students, do you know where Zhang Ziqi, who was on leave a few days ago, went?"

"The student heard that he sent his relatives back to his hometown. Hearing what the dean said today, he was a little puzzled. It has been several days, why haven't he returned to the academy yet?"

"It's just that the few students who went together have been back to the academy for a long time, but they just stayed in the dormitory and didn't go out. They didn't say anything when they approached them. They were nervous all day long, as if they were frightened by something unclean. generally."

"Dean, what is going on here?"

Some students said in doubt.

"Ugh……"

"The old man only found out today that he was killed by thieves a few days ago, and those classmates were lucky enough to survive, so he was scared to death..."

"The poor old man already knows the ins and outs of this matter, but there is no way to seek justice for him." Cai Mingqi sighed, and his words were full of self-blame.

"Dean, which thief did it?"

Someone asked about the soundtrack.

"Don't say it, don't say it, that thief is so powerful that no one of my generation can contend against it..." Cai Mingqi waved his hands, his face was like a concubine, and his expression was dull.

"Dean, this statement is wrong!"

"How can scholars of my generation succumb to power?"

Someone said indignantly.

"Dean, just tell me!"

A student in commoner clothes said in relief.

"Hey, why bother to force you..."

"That thief is the commander of Jinyi's own army, and now he has been appointed as the second-rank governor. It can be said that he has a high position and power, and he holds military power. Even if you know it, what can you do?"

Cai Mingqi looked up to the sky and sighed in despair before opening his mouth.

"The one who killed brother Ziqi,"

"Is it the dog thief Luo Porridge who has recently committed endless murder?"

Someone said in a daze, and the scene when the name was mentioned suddenly quieted down a lot, and everyone felt uneasy in their hearts, it was nothing more than that this person's name was too loud.

"The thief has only been in the position of commander for a few days, and he acts so recklessly. He has killed nearly ten thousand people before and after. How many innocent people will fall under the sword of his Jin Yiwei?"

Someone broke the silence.

"Poor, this old man has been teaching and educating people all his life, and at the end of the day, even his own student died at the hands of thieves, but he can't even get a single justice."

"It's sad, the old man has read the sage books all his life, and now he is old and weak, and he can only watch the thief pervert, recklessly, and slaughter innocent people..."

Seeing this, Cai Mingqi also beat his chest and stomped his feet, and there were muddy tears flowing from the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

"Dean, why did you say that?"

"How can scholars of my generation be so presumptuous?"

"Even if we have no power to restrain the chicken, we should speak up and ask for an explanation for brother Ziqi and those innocent people who fell under the butcher's knife!"

A student named Liu Ziwen looked at the dean who collapsed on the ground and was heartbroken. He felt a rush of blood rushing from his chest to his forehead, and he stood directly on the podium and shouted.

"What if the thief really uses the knife?"

Someone shouted.

"Then I'll wait for the Day of the Dead!"

Liu Ziwen waved his sleeves and said decisively.

"The sage has a saying, life is what I want, and what I want is more than the living, so I don't try to get it. How can scholars of my generation fear the thief's swordsman, and just live on the sidelines?"

Liu Ziwen questioned again.

"You can't have both fish and bear's paw, and the same is true for life and righteousness. Scholars of my generation should give up life for righteousness..."

"Ziwen, you are so enlightened, you are really worthy of studying sage books for ten years, and this old man is not as good..."

"It is indeed a model for scholars in the world!"

Cai Mingqi looked at Liu Ziwen who was standing on the podium and sighed, he was in tears at this point, and the relief on his face was beyond words.

Xiaozhi used the love of his classmates and moved him with the rites of a sage, using two prongs, and the students who were silent and fearful just now were all ashamed.

"Dean Cai!"

"Just now, the students are timid!"

Hearing the sound, someone laughed at himself, then put down the book in his hand and walked to Liu Ziwen's side: "Brother Ziwen, what you said makes sense. As a literati, why should we be afraid of life and death?"

"Even after death, scholars who want to come to future generations will remember our righteous deeds today, sing praises for us, write books and set up monuments, it is not in vain to come to this world for a trip!"

The man looked at the crowd and said bluntly.

"Scholars of my generation really should!"

"The Day of the Dead!"

"Sacrificing one's life for righteousness!"

This is the age of ordinary blood, the voice fell, and it attracted a lot of students to drink for a while. Emotions are very easy to infect people's hearts, let alone when someone is guiding and inciting.

When Cai Mingqi looked again, many students in the school were already excited, and all the fear was diluted with loud shouts.

"Old man..."

Cai Mingqi stood up and opened his mouth.

"Dean, the students know that you are worried about our safety."

"However, this is the end of the matter. I will never stand by and watch. I will go down the mountain tonight to announce the shameless deeds of that dog thief to the world."

After all,

Then Liu Zining kicked open the gate and walked away, followed closely by dozens of students, looking at the direction to go to the dormitory, to wake up the other students on the mountain.

After a stick of incense,
Beyond the mountain gate,

"Don't worry, Dean!"

"Students will not embarrass you!"

"Let's go, we will become famous all over the world tonight!"

After putting the bags in the bamboo basket, Liu Zining said solemnly to Cai Mingqi, then shouted, and led many students down the mountain without looking back.

"Do not worry,"

"Your inscriptions will be written by the old man himself."

Cai Mingqi leaned over and looked at the impassioned people holding torches on the mountain road and whispered to himself.

……

that night,

Luofu,

"Hey, woo woo..."

A hundred households got off their horses,

Hastily ran to the mansion.

"Lord Luo!"

"Lord Luo!"

hear the sound,

Luo Porridge, who had already fallen asleep, put on his clothes and got up.

"Why?"

"Master Luo, the Shangjing Academy that you let the officials watch a few days ago was peaceful earlier, but tonight suddenly made a huge commotion."

"It's an emergency, and I'm here to report to you!"

"Earlier, the dean of the academy went out for a trip, and he didn't know what he said when he came back. Now all the students on the mountain have gone down the mountain together,"

"I don't really hear what's going on in the school, the officials are hiding in the dense forest. I only know that when they went down the mountain, they were yelling something, and they wanted to tell the world about the dog... bah, my lord, and seek justice. , but also one mouthful of righteousness and death, sacrificing one's life for righteousness..."

The man looked at Luo Congee and bowed to report.

"Humph,"

"What a festival of righteous death!"

"What a sacrifice!"

Luo Porridge thought about it and sneered.

"You go and call Wang Tongzhi and Ding Zhenfu."

After finishing speaking, Luo Porridge waved his hands and ordered.

……

After a cup of tea,
Wang Ruling and Ding Xiu rushed over panting.

"Master Luo, I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved..."

After learning what happened,

Ding Xiu frowned and said.

"The lower officials know that those old men in the court are not so secure. I think I have been holding back this bad water for a long time..."

Wang Ruling also heaved a long sigh.

"Ding Xiu, you should first lead someone to investigate where the dean went, follow the clues, and find out who is behind the scenes."

"Officer, take orders!"

After all,

Ding Xiu led them away without hesitation.

"My lord, this is a conspiracy."

"I'm afraid it won't help to find out who is behind the scenes."

"If you kill the leader directly, those pedantic students will not be able to deter them if they don't care about them."

"What's more, His Majesty just said two days ago that the land of the capital is not allowed to use weapons rashly."

"It's better to think about it in the long run."

Wang Ruling looked at Luo Porridge's back and hesitated to speak.

"Well, this officer knows."

"Go and call everyone on the roster first."

Luo Congee ordered after thinking for a moment.

"Let them investigate together?"

Wang Ruling was puzzled.

"Just let them dig a hole outside the city."

Luo Congee shook his head and said.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

Wang Ruling was stunned when he heard the sound.

"Since His Majesty does not allow rash use of weapons..."

"Then let's bury them together..."
