Blackening starts from the golden years

"What happened to Jinshi?"

Looking at Du Changfeng, whose brain was damaged by reading, Yuan Xudong said coldly:

"Even if you are Jesus, I will throw you into the Imperial River to feed the fish today."

“Who is Jesus?”

Du Changfeng was stunned for a moment and asked, then he quickly took out a crystal from his sleeve and held it in front of his eyes, looking at Yuan Xudong, and asked with a look of surprise:

"Who are you? Why are you in Madam Zhao's room?"

"I am the fiancé of the lady Zhao you mentioned. Do you have any objection?"

Yuan Xudong sneered.

"What? You are Madam Zhao's fiancé? Then Brother Ouyang..."

Before he finished speaking, Du Changfeng seemed to have figured something out. He looked at Zhao Pan'er beside him and said with great sorrow:
"Mrs. Zhao, a good woman should not serve two men. You were born in a lowly family, but now you don't reflect on your mistakes, be virtuous and prudent, and live in the same room with a man outside your family. Are you worthy of Brother Ouyang's deep love?"

Seeing Du Changfeng's pedantic preaching, Zhao Pan'er felt extremely disgusted. She suppressed her anger and said:
"I am from a good family, not a prostitute. Ouyang Xu can break off the engagement and marry someone else, so why can't I marry someone else?"

"Madam Zhao, what you said is biased. Once you are a lowly person, you will be a lowly person for the rest of your life. Even if you have become a good woman now, you are still a lowly person. Brother Ouyang is very intelligent and has won the third place in this year's imperial examination. He is willing to marry you as a concubine, which shows his deep love and loyalty. How can you be so unsatisfied and still dare to hope to be his first wife?"

Looking at Du Changfeng who looked like a moral gentleman, Zhao Pan'er was furious, and Sun Sanniang was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Even Song Yinzhang and Yinping, who were lying on the bed in the bedroom, were filled with indignation. If they were not in dishevel and weak all over, they would have wanted to come out of the bedroom, point at Du Changfeng's nose and ask him if he had become stupid from reading the books of sages, and why he gave up being a good person and insisted on being a dog?

It is impossible to reason with a pedantic scholar like Du Changfeng. His head has been imprisoned by those so-called sage books. He regards the nonsense in the books as the truth and destiny. When dealing with such scholars, the only way to educate them is to use fists and let them know what physics is.

Not wanting to reason with him anymore, Yuan Xudong directly called the guards and said:
"Ada, throw him into the Imperial River for me and let him sober up."

"As ordered."

Ah Da took the order immediately. Upon hearing this, Du Changfeng ran out the door, which surprised Yuan Xudong a little. How could this nerd run?

When he was educating others, he quoted from classics and gave a lot of profound principles. But why, when it was his turn, he didn't wait to die bravely but instead wanted to run away?

Unfortunately, Du Changfeng was just a weak scholar. Ah Da grabbed his collar and pulled him back, then dragged him out of the house. Du Changfeng could not resist and could only shout:

"I am a Jinshi this year, ranked 27th in the second class, and I am an official. Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. Do you want to offend the officials as a common people?"

"Shut up!"

Looking at Du Changfeng, Yuan Xudong said angrily:

"It is because of you, the bad officials, that the people of the Song Dynasty have a hard life. You, the bad officials, don't think about benefiting the people, but only study power struggles and plunder the people's blood and sweat every day. You don't fight the people against the officials. You think you are a great official, don't you? Today I will throw you into the Imperial River to feed the fish. Let's see what you, an official, can do to me."

As he spoke, Yuan Xudong looked at Ah Da and ordered:
"Ah Da, let him soak in the Imperial River for an hour to sober him up."

"Yes."

Ah Da obeyed the order respectfully. He dragged Du Changfeng out of Sanyuan Inn. Along the way, Du Changfeng shouted:
"I am a Jinshi this year, ranked 27th in the second class, and I am an official. You can't treat me like this!"

Dragging him all the way down the stairs, no matter how Du Changfeng shouted and screamed, Ada ignored him. He only knew that he wanted to throw Du Changfeng into the Imperial River and let him soak in the river for an hour.

As the guests in the inn watched, Du Changfeng was dragged all the way to the nearby Yu River. Along the way, passers-by gathered around and talked about it. Ah Da remained calm, but Du Changfeng was so ashamed that he shouted,
"I am a successful candidate in this year's imperial examination. I am an official. As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. You cannot humiliate me like this!"

A Da ignored Du Changfeng, walked to the river, and kicked him into the river.

"Help, I can't swim..."

Seeing Du Changfeng struggling in the water, looking like he was about to drown, A Da couldn't help but frown. He looked around and saw a peddler selling wood, so he went up to buy a piece of wood and threw it to Du Changfeng in the river. Du Changfeng quickly struggled to grab the wood and floated on the surface of the Yu River, gasping for breath.

The people watching by the Imperial River were talking about Ah Da. Soon, some officials came over. Seeing them, Du Changfeng felt like he saw a savior. He waved his hands and shouted:
"Help, help, someone wants to kill me. I am Du Changfeng, a successful candidate in this imperial examination. Please rescue me."

When the officers heard Du Changfeng shout that he was a Jinshi this year, they wanted to rescue him. Two of them walked towards Ah Da and asked:
"Who are you? Why did you throw someone into the Imperial River?"

"You don't need to know who I am. He offended my master, so my master made him soak in the river for an hour to sober up."

Ah Da said coldly with a blank expression. The leading officer did not act rashly, but asked:

"I wonder who your master is?"

Tokyo is full of dignitaries and royal relatives, so these small officials dare not act rashly and offend anyone. Even if it's a maid or a wet nurse from a wealthy family, they might be taught a lesson. Anyone who dares to throw this year's successful candidate into the Imperial River to soak for an hour in broad daylight must be a big shot, so these small officials dare not interfere. After all, it's not like killing someone in the street, it's just soaking in the Imperial River for an hour.

Ah Da did not answer the officer. Instead, he took out the token of the palace from his waist and held it in front of the officers. When they saw Wang Ling, the most powerful prince and the uncle of the current emperor, they were immediately frightened and saluted respectfully, then left Du Changfeng behind and ran away as if they had not seen anything.

At this time, Sun Sanniang came out of the Sanyuan Inn and walked towards the Imperial River. The officials happened to walk past her. She didn't pay attention at first, but she heard them whispering:
"How did that unlucky scholar offend the prince and get thrown into the Imperial River? I think he is finished and will definitely lose his position as an official."

"His name is Du Changfeng. I have heard of him. He is a member of the Du family, but unfortunately he is from a side branch. He finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, but he also offended the prince, the uncle of the current official. There are so many people waiting to become officials. I think he has waited a long time."

"Who says it's not true? If there is no one in the court, even if you pass the imperial examination, you may not be able to get an official position. I heard that some people have been waiting for several years."

"Yes, the little daughter of my aunt's neighbor works as a maid in the Gao Mansion. I heard her say that the daughter of the Gao family wants to marry the third place winner of this year's imperial examination as her son-in-law. Why does the third place winner want to be the son-in-law of the Gao family? Isn't it because he wants to use the power and connections of the Gao family to get a good official position for himself? There is a huge difference between having someone in the court and having no one."

……

As the officials walked over, Sun Sanniang was stunned. She was dumbfounded, and her heart was in turmoil. She murmured:

"Prince? The official's uncle?"

Realizing that Yuan Xudong's real identity might be a prince, the current emperor's uncle, Sun Sanniang's mind went blank. She felt dizzy and somehow walked back to the inn, where she met Yuan Xudong face to face.

"Sanniang, are you okay?"

Seeing that Sun Sanniang looked dazed, Yuan Xudong asked with concern.

Hearing Yuan Xudong's voice, Sun Sanniang came back to her senses with a start. Looking at him, she opened her mouth and said:

"Sir, you..."

She wanted to ask Yuan Xudong whether he was a prince, but she didn't dare to. Although Sun Sanniang has always been very aggressive, she was born in this feudal era and her awe of the powerful is engraved in her bones.

Let's get back to the topic. Looking at Sun Sanniang who was hesitating, Yuan Xudong said with a smile:
"Sanniang, what's wrong with you? When did you become a stutterer?"

"I didn't. That's why you stuttered."

Sun Sanniang protested quietly, then she looked around and then looked at Yuan Xudong and said:

"Come with me for a moment. I have something to ask you."

"it is good."

Yuan Xudong smiled and followed Sun Sanniang into her room.

……

After entering the room and closing the door, Sun Sanniang looked at Yuan Xudong, who was always smiling, and asked hesitantly:

"You, are you the prince?"

"Yes."

Yuan Xudong admitted it directly. He had originally planned to take Zhao Pan'er and the others back to the palace. He was just curious about how Sun Sanniang knew about it.

"what?"

Sun Sanniang exclaimed, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Yuan Xudong, she didn't expect that he was really a prince. For a moment, she felt complicated and her thoughts were in a mess.

Looking at her, Yuan Xudong asked with a smile:

"How did you know my identity?"

"I, I heard it from a few officers."

"Official official?"

“Just now…”

Sun Sanniang told Yuan Xudong what she had just heard the official say. After listening to her, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"So that's how it is. Yes, I am indeed the prince, the uncle of the current official. Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

"I just want to ask you..." Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Sun Sanniang asked softly:

"Why do you want to hide your identity? And, will you really marry Pan'er as your princess?"

"Well, I will marry Pan'er as my princess and Yinzhang as my concubine. Why, don't you believe me?"

Looking at Sun Sanniang, Yuan Xudong asked.

"No, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you are the prince, and Pan'er is..."

Looking at Yuan Xudong, Sun Sanniang said tactfully:
"Pan'er and Yinzhang are of humble origins after all. Do you really not care?"

"I don't care. I don't care about their backgrounds. As long as I like them, it's fine. Just like..."

Yuan Xudong paused, and Sun Sanniang looked at him and asked curiously:

"Like what?"

"You want to know?"

"Ah."

Sun Sanniang nodded gently and hummed. She couldn't stand Yuan Xudong's gentle smile and eyes that obviously contained a hint of fiery passion. She turned her head to the side to avoid Yuan Xudong's sight.

"It's like..."

Yuan Xudong took two steps forward, pushed Sun Sanniang against the wall of the room, put his hands on both sides of her body, leaned over and smiled gently in her ear:
"I like you just as much, Sanniang, do you like me?"

"My Lord, please don't be like this, okay?"

Sun Sanniang hid from Yuan Xudong. She gently placed her hands on Yuan Xudong's hot chest, tilted her head to the side, and said shyly with a blushing face:

"I am just a country woman who knows nothing, you..."

"I don't care who you are, I only know that you are Sun Sanniang, and most importantly, you are the woman I like."

As he spoke, Yuan Xudong continued to support the wall with his left hand to restrict Sun Sanniang's movement, and gently pinched her chin with his right hand to make her look at him directly. Looking at Sun Sanniang's shy eyes, Yuan Xudong smiled very gently:
"Tell me now, do you like me? Even if you like me a little bit, do you?"

"I……"

Yuan Xudong pinched her chin and looked at him. Sun Sanniang couldn't avoid his fiery gaze. It would be a lie to say that she didn't like Yuan Xudong, but she couldn't say it out loud. So, she could only stammer and couldn't speak.

"I understand."

Looking at the shy Sun Sanniang, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. He was of noble status, handsome, humorous, and gentle. Yuan Xudong was confident that there was no way Sun Sanniang would not like him. Women, in fact, deep down, longed to be possessed by a perfect man like him.

For women, a man's status and the power he holds are the best temptations, making them very eager. Although they won't say it, they all long to be favored by big men in their hearts. Of course, it's not absolute, but the proportion is very large, especially when facing young and strong big men.

This is what happened to Sun Sanniang at this moment. If she wanted to resist or escape, and Yuan Xudong didn't hold her back, why did she just lean against the wall and not run?

Yuan Xudong smiled, gently pinched Sun Sanniang's chin, and then slowly kissed her lips.

"My Lord, don't~~"

Sun Sanniang resisted Yuan Xudong slightly, but she used very little strength.

Slowly, Yuan Xudong kissed Sun Sanniang's lips, wantonly grabbing her sweetness.

"My Lord, don't~~"

Sun Sanniang moaned softly, then slowly closed her eyes and began to cater to Yuan Xudong.

……

"No, no~~"

"My Lord, um~~"

Yuan Xudong only tasted it briefly and then let Sun Sanniang go. He watched Sun Sanniang put on her bellyband and fastened the collar of her clothes in front of her plump chest. He smiled gently and said:

"Sanniang, your cooking skills are really good. I will be blessed with delicious food in the future."

"My Lord, don't talk nonsense."

Sun Sanniang blushed with shame. She naturally understood what Yuan Xudong meant. Not long ago, he had used his mouth to open the collar of her shirt, then the red bellyband inside her coat. Then, he actually, actually...

Thinking back now, Sun Sanniang felt her face flushed and she thought to herself, what a greedy prince, he has so many tricks up his sleeve.

"Sanniang, let's go out."

"Ah."

Everything is self-evident. After this intimate contact, it is natural that Sun Sanniang will be taken into Yuan Xudong's room.

……

At the same time, on the Yu River, Du Changfeng was floating down the river clinging to a piece of wood, shouting in panic:
"Help, help!"

After drifting for a long time, he actually drifted along the Imperial River to the waterside pavilion of Shuangxi Tower. Seeing someone shouting for help in the water, the maids in Shuangxi Tower immediately shouted:
"Hurry up, someone has fallen into the water, help!"

"Someone fell into the water?"

Hearing that someone had fallen into the water, Chi Pan, who was drinking tea in Shuangxi Tower, suddenly became excited and ran out to watch the fun. He stood by the Shuangxi Tower's pleasure boat with two servants, watching Du Changfeng struggling in the Imperial River and laughed:
"Hey, who is this? Isn't this Mr. Du from the academy?"

Hearing Chi Pan's laughter, Du Changfeng's eyes could not see clearly, and he could only look at the blurry figure on the shore and said:

"Who are you?"

"You can't even recognize my voice?"

Looking at Du Changfeng in the water, Chi Pan smiled and said:
"I am the boss of more than a dozen guilds in Tokyo, and you are Chi Pan, Chi Yanei."

Hearing that it was Chi Yanei, Du Changfeng quickly asked for help:
"Chi Yanei, please hurry up and save me. I, I have money, I will give you money."

Hearing that Du Changfeng dared to throw money at him, Chi Pan immediately cursed:

"Bah, I won't save you. Who do you think you are? You dare to throw money at me? Just stay in the river. I have plenty of money. I won't save you. Let's go."

After saying that, Chi Pan turned around with the two servants and was about to go back to Shuangxi Tower. Seeing him like this, Du Changfeng immediately provoked him:

"Chi, Chi Pan, you watched someone die without helping him. What kind of hero are you? You, Thirteenth Young Master, Thirteenth Young Master, you will only be called Thirteenth Young Master for the rest of your life."

Hearing the nickname "Thirteenth Young Master", Chi Pan's smile suddenly disappeared from his face. He turned around and pointed at Du Changfeng floating in the water, and instructed the servants around him:
"Pick him up for me."

"Okay, Yanei."

Two servants worked together to pull Du Changfeng out of the river.

……

In Shuangxi Tower, the little maidservant beside Zhang Haohao asked curiously:

"Miss, why doesn't Chi Yanei like to be called the Thirteenth Young Master?"

Hearing this, Zhang Haohao sighed and said:

"He is only the head of the twelve guilds in Tokyo, so he is not much."

"So this is ah."

……

In another room of Shuangxi Tower, Du Changfeng was brought to Chi Pan by two servants, still holding the piece of wood in his hand. Seeing him like this, Chi Pan couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Blind Du, why are you still holding on to that broken piece of wood?"

Looking up at Chi Pan, Du Changfeng said weakly while lying on the ground:
"I'm afraid you'll throw me down again."
