Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 413 Chu Wujiang can rub the law of destiny on the ground (7.4k, please subscribe)

"My Lord, this is a conspiracy."

Yun Chang saw that Chu Wujiang was about to deal with the scholar, and hurriedly shouted:

"How can ordinary scholars know the whereabouts of the Marquis? Only a few people know that the Marquis will come to the Imperial Academy!"

"He knew how to cry out for justice at the exit of the Imperial College. Someone must have instructed him!"

"I will arrest him and torture him severely on the grounds that he disturbed the carriage!"

Yunchang was in charge of security work and had also been responsible for assassination operations.

She has a deep understanding of assassination operations and can be considered an expert.

The most important thing to assassinate an important figure is to know the intelligence.

Chu Wujiang is going to travel, visit the Duke of Zhenguo, and visit the Imperial College. These are all confidential information. The confidentiality level is not very high, and it is not something that ordinary people can know.

What's more, it would be impossible for this scholar to wait near the Imperial College to appeal for justice without any guidance.

For security experts like Yunchang, this is a sign of danger.

Chu Wujiang rubbed Yun Shang's face and said with a smile:

"This must be guided by an expert."

"Anyone who stops the car to appeal for justice will be driven away or scolded, or even worse, the whole family will be imprisoned."

"He was smart to choose this place, one of the holy places for scholars in the world, to appeal for justice."

There are too many people who have been wronged in this world.

Therefore, when high-ranking officials travel, they are often accompanied by thugs and guards, and anyone who dares to cry out for justice will be beaten to death.

It’s just like during the Qianlong period, a scholar stopped a carriage to write a letter to appeal for justice for the people. The damn Emperor Qianlong used the literary inquisition to punish the scholar and his entire clan.

It’s not that it’s dangerous for a scholar to write a letter to the emperor, but that an example cannot be given.

If it is useful to appeal for justice against high-ranking officials, then many people would come forward to appeal for justice.

Yunshang added:
"Yes, sir."

"The guards are still inexperienced. If they see someone crying out for justice, they should drag him out and beat him to death."

"I will chase him away right now, or report him to the Tianjing Prefecture!"

Chu Wujiang hugged Yun Shang and said softly:

"Yun Shang, this is not okay. This is the Imperial College."

"How many scholars are watching."

"If I drive him away, I will be suspected of being afraid of the Duke of Zhenguo."

“Whoever is behind this can make a big fuss about it.”

Judging from the beneficiaries, the person who arranged this was most likely the Crown Prince or someone from the Prince's party.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone else committed the crime.

Yun Shang couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse:
"My Lord, these scholars are also weak-willed and afraid of hardship."

"We don't need to pay attention to them."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"it does not matter."

"I know what they want to do. There is no reason to back down."

Originally, Chu Wujiang wanted to keep a low profile in Tianjing and slowly slip out of the capital, but after he slapped Fang Fusheng in the face and conferred the title of [Kaifu Yitong Sansi], he could no longer keep a low profile.

If he can't keep a low profile, Chu Wujiang will expose all the secrets of Tianjing.

The adopted son of the Duke of Zhenguo will be beaten as usual.

Chu Wujiang has continuously exchanged [Brave Soldiers] and [Sharp Soldiers] for his luck. At this time, his luck is at its peak, so how could he back down?

Even if you know it's a trap, you still have to step on it twice.

It depends on what you are planning.

Yun Shang called out:
"Master Hou!"

But when Chu Wujiang opened the curtains and walked out of the carriage, she could only follow closely behind him and act as his guard.

The two men appeared at the gate of the Imperial College, one in front of the other.

Chu Wujiang shouted loudly:
"Scholar, you said you were wronged."

"Have you reported the case to Tianjing Prefecture?"

Gao Sheng couldn't help but widen his eyes and stood there in a daze.

He was prepared to give him a good beating.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang really appeared.

The people watching all commented:

"I often hear people say that the Champion Marquis is the reincarnation of Wu Quxing. Now I see that he is more than just Wu Quxing. Such a romantic figure must be a banished immortal from heaven."

"A young man was made a marquis, a high-ranking official, trusted by the crown prince, and appreciated by the duke. It is true that people are better than others."

Most of the onlookers were students from the Imperial College, and most of them were descendants of officials. There were sons of vice ministers, sons of chancellors, and even the granddaughter of Duke Liguo.

There are great scholars among them who talk and laugh, and no unlearned people among them. They are destined to be the successors of the imperial court.

But the distance between these students and Chu Wujiang is even greater than the gap between them and ordinary people.

Chu Wujiang chatted and laughed with the parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers of the students, while the students could only envy and hate him.

Because the powerful and wealthy have many children, the value of their wealth has seriously depreciated. Many of them cannot inherit the family business and can only become guests and serve the nobles.

All the children of the imperial family serve as guest officials, and the same goes for the children of other nobles.

When Gao Sheng saw Chu Wujiang, he felt inexplicably sad.

Both are young men. One is a young marquis who was granted the title of nobility. He wears a brocade robe and looks like a god. He rides in a carriage and has a beautiful girl by his side.

The clothes he was wearing had seven or eight patches on them, and he only had an old father who was bedridden.

Seeing the scholar standing there in a daze, Lin Bufan could not help but rebuke him:

"My Lord is asking you a question!"

Gao Sheng came back to his senses and shouted:
"My Lord, I once went to Tianjing Prefecture to report a case, but was sentenced to a fight."

"My poor father is weak and makes a living by playing chess. How can he be compared with Zhao Chongde, the adopted son of the Duke of Zhenguo and a military candidate?"

"What's worse, the chess academy expelled my father because they were afraid of causing trouble!"

"Now I can only make a living by playing chess in the wild."

"When the rich and powerful get angry, my family is destroyed. I can't accept it."

"I am here to seek justice for my father and for the people of the world."

Gao Sheng came from a poor family, but he had handsome eyes and fluent eloquence.

His speech was so passionate and indignant that the students who were watching could not help but nod their heads.

"This scholar has a point."

"Zhao Chongde, the adopted son of the Duke of Zhenguo, is indeed unreasonable. Fang Fusheng is ranked first, so he must be ranked second."

"Shh, keep your voice down, you're risking your life."

There are also differences in the value of power and wealth.

How dare the prefect's son criticize the prime minister's son? This made the students feel upset.

Lin Bufan, Wang Youcai and other Chu family guards couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Standing up for your father is the right thing to do.

At this moment, the Imperial College Priest, the Confucianist's Yuanshen Zhenren, the clone of Zhiping Jushi, flew over quickly and shouted:

"All students, listen up! Do not gather to cause trouble! Leave immediately!"

"If you continue to watch, you will be deemed to have failed this year's assessment!"

Mr. Zhiping served as the principal of the Imperial College, and he could decide the future of most students.

Recently it was the day for grading in the Imperial College, an annual assessment, and it was also the time when the students were most afraid of the Chief Academician. They were caught in a weak spot and had no choice but to leave.

Zhiping Layman dispersed the students to prevent the situation from getting worse, and shouted:

"Don't blame the champion!"

"I was talking to someone and wasted time."

"Come here, send this scholar to Tianjing Prefecture and have the Jingzhao Yin redress his grievances."

The real body of Mr. Zhiping was repairing the Holy Emperor's formation, but he left behind a clone who looked no different from the real person.

As a result, Chu Wujiang failed to give adequate notice in advance and was anxious to absorb the general's martial luck, which led to Gao Sheng seizing the opportunity to intercept and seek justice.

Mr. Zhiping naturally had to do his best to be a good host, so he ordered his men to send Gaosheng away and beat him up.

Chu Wujiang said quickly:
"You are too polite, sir. There is no need to do this."

"I think this scholar has indeed been wronged."

"We should handle this with caution."

He originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was using this as an excuse to set up a chess game to distance himself from the Duke of Zhenguo, but judging from Mr. Zhiping's attitude, it seemed that they did not want that.

Mr. Zhiping was also a member of the Prince's Party.

Gao Sheng's face turned pale. If he was taken away by the people from the Imperial College, he would be doomed.

"My Lord, I am innocent."

"It is indeed Zhao Chongde who is unreasonable..."

Zhiping Jushi shouted sternly:

"Don't cry out for injustice!"

"To appeal beyond one's authority and offend the noble, you will be punished with at least 40 strokes of the cane and exiled to a remote frontier as a slave!"

"Since you are a scholar and a filial son, I will spare your life. Why don't you leave now!"

The imperial court had strict regulations to prevent people from crying out for injustice.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, Chu Wujiang's previous life, if you intercepted the emperor's carriage and cried out for justice, you would be sentenced to death by hanging. If it were the Qing Dynasty, the maximum penalty would be to punish nine generations of your clan and make your wife and daughters enslaved.

The normal standard was to send the person to the frontier as a slave, so if an official saw someone crying out for justice while traveling and beat him to death, he was considered kind-hearted.

Mr. Zhiping is not cruel.

He scolded and told Gaosheng to get out, in an attempt to downplay the incident and avoid embarrassing everyone.

Gao Sheng's face turned pale, but he still stiffened his neck and shouted:

"My Lord, please make the decision for me!"

"The Gao family is indeed wronged!"

"Be bold!"

Mr. Zhiping was usually kind to his students, but now he was extremely cruel when facing the scholar who was seeking justice.

"There is no injustice, who dares to feel injustice?"

"If you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for not giving you the respect of a scholar!"

Chu Wujiang was originally the party involved, but he ended up acting as a peacemaker:

"Master Jijiu, wait a minute."

"Since he said he had been wronged, I would like to ask about it. The right and wrong will be judged by the public."

"So as to prevent the people from thinking that the court is unfair."

Zhiping Layman quickly used the secret technique to transmit the message:
[My Lord, you don't know.]

【According to the court's laws, if a citizen stops a carriage to file a complaint, he will be beaten with 40 sticks and exiled to the frontier.】

[If any official accepts the complaint, he should be dismissed and investigated! ]

The imperial court had good intentions in order to prevent the people from crying out for justice and disrupting this peaceful and prosperous era.

The people went beyond their authority to seek justice and were exiled to the frontier.

Officials who accept cases beyond their authority will be dismissed and investigated.

No one seeks justice, and the world is peaceful and prosperous.

Chu Wujiang chuckled and asked:

[Is there anyone who can dismiss me from my post and investigate me? ]

【That Hou is looking forward to it very much. 】

Mr. Zhiping was suddenly speechless.

He forgot one thing: this regulation was aimed at officials who took the imperial examinations and officials without any foundation, so as to prevent them from accumulating popularity and disrupting order.

Powerful figures like Chu Wujiang never do whatever the court wants.

He didn't become strong by relying on his official position.

The Sima family colluded with the devil, so they were fined.

What's more, for such a small matter, Chu Wujiang could rub the [Law of Destiny] to the ground.

Zhiping Layman quickly added:
【Champion Hou, this is not worth it. 】

[Once the case is overturned, Jingzhao Yin, Liushenmen, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Office will all be held responsible. How many people will be offended? ]

[Not only that, but the matter is also related to the Duke of Zhenguo, which will cause endless troubles.]

The Gao family was simply sentenced to a fight because their father was paralyzed in bed and they had suffered some injustice.

If Chu Wujiang overturns this case, everyone from top to bottom will be held accountable.

In theory, the judicial system of the Tianming Dynasty was very complete, with the Ministry of Justice adjudicating cases, the Dali Temple reviewing them, and the Inspectorate inspecting them.

This also leads to another problem.

After a case is decided, if someone overturns the verdict, everyone from top to bottom will be unable to escape and will be suspected of dereliction of duty.

As a result, the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Supervisory Office united together and acted in collusion.

No one in the court's judicial system was willing to overturn the verdict.

Even if it's a small case.

It is just like the case of [Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai] in Chu Wujiang’s previous life.

Because the case was overturned, the county magistrate, prefect, governor, academician, and provincial inspector were all dismissed and investigated.

Therefore, the judgments made by the Ministry of Justice must be error-free and 100% correct.

Chu Wujiang chuckled:
"Whether it's worth it or not, I know it in my heart."

"It is better to wrong others than to wrong yourself."

"Don't worry, I will handle it properly."

Mr. Zhiping couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He was so busy playing chess that he didn't know Chu Wujiang had arrived early, which led to this fish slipping through the net.

Chu Wujiang was so determined that he wanted to bring down the entire sky.

He could only advise:
"Marquis Guanjun, the way to be an official is to blend in with the world."

"In this world, you are in me and I am in you."

Even though he is a real Yuanshen, he doesn't want to offend so many people.

Everyone has things to do.

Today Fang Fusheng wants to beat a beggar to death. If you help him, the Prime Minister's Office will help you with other things next time.

This is all about human relations.

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:

"All things in the world are bad. You are in me, and I am in you."

"If you do not observe, hear, or act, I will observe, hear, and act."

I am unhappy with what I see, so I am going to challenge the entire dynasty's judicial system.

Let them plot whatever they want, I'll just take it.

Really domineering and aggressive.

Mr. Zhiping felt that he was really old, and even felt a little ashamed of himself in the face of such sharpness.

"Champion Marquis, I understand."

The Chu family's guards were all excited, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out. Yun Shang even stood in front of Chu Wujiang, ready to use her body to block the hidden arrows at any time.

This is the man worthy of their loyalty.

Soldiers need a sense of justice.

Chu Wujiang walked up to Gao Sheng and asked loudly:
"What's your name?" Gao Sheng swallowed and said with difficulty:
"Gaosheng means high, high, and promotion."

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

"What a nice name. I know you must have been instructed by someone to come here to seek justice."

"With their methods, you won't know much of the truth."

Gao Sheng widened his eyes, wondering how this Champion Marquis knew that he was being instructed by someone.

Chu Wujiang disagreed and continued:

"But the injustice is real, and I can indeed help you."

"But you have to tell me first, what abilities do you have?"

Gao Sheng took a deep breath and said quickly:
"I can play chess. I successfully qualified for the professional chess position last year. If it weren't for my father, I would have become a professional chess player!"

Chu Wujiang shook his head and said:

"There are professional chess players everywhere, and there are several in Longzhou."

Gao Sheng continued:

"I have good calligraphy and can make a living by selling calligraphy on the street."

Chu Wujiang shook his head and rejected it:

"All the students in the Imperial College can write well."

Gao Sheng said quickly:

"I can also draw, and I can draw portraits."

Chu Wujiang still shook his head:
"It's just a small trick."

"A painting is only worth a few dozen coins in the market, unless you have the level of Master Shenghua."

"Xiaosheng, Xiaosheng also has..."

After Chu Wujiang's repeated denials, Gao Sheng broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He was an ordinary scholar who only passed the examination for a scholar and failed in the examinations for a juren degree many times. What special talents could he have?

Really not.

He can play chess, write well, and draw, so he is considered multi-talented, although his level is not high.

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:

"Think about it again."

[Why does Champion Hou want me to think? 】

【Is there any deep meaning behind this? 】

[Whether my father can get justice this time depends on this time]

Gao Sheng gritted his teeth and kept thinking about Chu Wujiang's question. When he was about to bleed, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he finally figured out the source of the problem.

[What the champion wants is not talent, but a reason. 】

【A reason to stand up for me! 】

He quickly shouted:
"I am useless, but I can become a thousand-dollar horse bone!"

Not stupid.

A smile appeared on Chu Wujiang's face.

He doesn't want to help a fool. As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves.

Now he saw Gao Sheng come to the most important conclusion, and nodded:
"From now on, you are my retainer."

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given him the power to "establish a government", there is no reason for him not to use it.

"Talented."

Wang Youcai shouted quickly:
"My subordinate is here."

"Take my business card and go to Tianjing Prefecture, and tell them that my retainer has been wronged and needs to be cleared of wrongful imprisonment."

"Let him handle the case impartially and find out the right and wrong."

As Chu Wujiang spoke, he looked at Mr. Zhiping.

If he took the case on his own initiative, he would obviously be violating the law of destiny.

Chu Wujiang didn't want to give anyone any handle.

But now that Gaosheng has become his retainer and servant, it is no longer called intercepting the imperial carriage, and the original charge has disappeared.

As long as Chu Wujiang grants him a high official position, he can rise from a commoner to a high position in one step.

This is called spending a fortune on a horse's bones.

At the same time, in order to prevent people from coming to complain about their injustice when he walked on the street every day, Chu Wujiang classified the promotion as a special case.

So as not to cause more trouble.

Wang Youcai shouted quickly:
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

But Chu Wujiang continued to shout:

“Extraordinary.”

Lin Bufan shouted quickly:
"My subordinate is here!"

Chu Wujiang pointed at Gao Sheng and said:

"Since he is my retainer, his parents must also be taken care of."

"Go find a doctor and treat Gao Sheng's father."

"If ordinary doctors can't cure it, go to the Jade Palace and look for Doctor Hua and ask him to make an introduction."

Just as Mengchangjun supported his scholars, Feng Xuan asked for fish to eat and a carriage to drive, enough to support his parents.

Only in this way would Feng Xuan sincerely work for Mengchangjun.

Chu Wujiang wants to raise a group of assassins, so he naturally cannot be stingy.

Gao Sheng felt like he was in a dream. He had never expected that he would eat such a big piece of pie. He was so excited that he was a little incoherent:

"My Lord, I can play chess."

"If I participate in the Tianyuan chess tournament, I will definitely get a good ranking and repay the Marquis's kindness."

"And the man in black told me that the master would come to the Imperial College today and asked me to wait patiently."

"I asked him who he was, but the man in black didn't tell me. He just said that if I came here, no matter whether I succeeded or failed, I would have money to treat my father's illness."

Yun Shang almost couldn't help herself when she heard this:
[This guy should be arrested and tortured severely. ]

[The Marquis is still too kind-hearted! ]

Chu Wujiang has the luck to be able to understand and hear the ladies' thoughts.

He couldn't help laughing and said:

"Go."

"Deal with this case as soon as possible."

Mr. Zhiping found it a little difficult to understand that Chu Wujiang was going to offend the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate all at once, and even Yuanshen Zhenren had to think twice before acting.

But Chu Wujiang made it look so easy.

[This case is not a big one, but it involves a lot of people.]

[Zhao Chongde, the adopted son of the Duke of Zhenguo, Fang Wanjun who solved the case, and Mr. Cui who was investigating the case at the Dali Temple, all were offended.]

[I don’t even dare to do such a thing. ]

Mr. Zhiping couldn't understand who gave Chu Wujiang such confidence.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

“Sometimes being too popular is not a good thing.”

"Layman, let's go in and talk."

Mr. Zhiping suddenly realized.

Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hoped that the Sima family and the Chu family would check and balance each other, but on the first day Chu Wujiang arrived in Beijing, this balance was destroyed.

No matter who was behind this conspiracy, Chu Wujiang appropriately offended the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate, which would help him to select the corresponding friends.

[But doing this still has disadvantages. ]

[There is nothing more youthful than this. 】

Mr. Zhiping couldn't help but sigh:
"I am indeed old."

"Champion Marquis, please follow me."

Chu Wujiang followed Mr. Zhiping to the reception desk without any concern.

But the news that he supported Gao's promotion spread quickly throughout the Imperial College like wings, causing waves.

Countless students were distracted from class and were frantically discussing what Guanjun Hou had done, in a collective uproar.

Lu Zhengwen, who bought the newspaper last time, called his friends together and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"is this real?"

"Our dynasty has been established for 600 years, and there have been only a handful of cases of wrongful imprisonment."

"After all, if no one protests, it is not considered an injustice."

“Only cases that are brought to the attention of the emperor can be redressed.”

"Like the last time we investigated a large-scale case of injustice, it was Mr. Shenmo who showed up."

"She couldn't bear the pressure and withdrew from the investigation on the grounds of blindness."

"How could the Champion Marquis do such an unwise thing?"

Lu Zhengwen's friend Li Zui opened a wine gourd, took a sip and said:

"Absolutely true!"

“Brother Lu, you also know that I have some alcohol bugs in my stomach.”

"I just left a bottle of wine and a wine worm behind on purpose to eavesdrop on the news."

The wine worm is a special monster that lives in the human body, making people want to drink constantly. At the same time, it turns the wine into vitality to nourish the body.

This is a monster that is extremely beneficial to the human body, but it is extremely wasteful.

Li Zui had a drinking bug in his body, which almost bankrupted him. While drinking, he said helplessly:

"If the Champion goes down, I'm afraid he will offend the Ministry of Justice, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple."

"This will put Brother Lu and Brother Cui in trouble. It will be difficult for them to join the Champion Marquis."

The three of them were known as the Three Musketeers of the Aristocratic Family in the Imperial College.

The first one is Lu Zhengwen, whose father is Lu Bingzhi, the Left Censor-in-Chief.

The second one is Li Zui, whose grandfather is the Minister of Rites Li Hanlin.

The third one is Cui Zhuo, whose grandfather was Cui Hong, the Minister of Dali Temple.

All three of them are talented, which is equivalent to blue luck. They come from noble families and should have a bright future.

However, they came from the Lu family, the Li family, and the Cui family, the three top saint families, and their fathers had many descendants.

He is not talented enough, let alone inheriting the family business.

Chu Wujiang's status as the only son of a noble family could make the three of them envious to tears.

They can only choose a route, be approved by the family, and then receive investment and support for development to become the geniuses of the family.

Naturally, the three were not very happy and kept looking for a way out.

As soon as Chu Wujiang was given the power to establish a government, they got the news earlier than the children from poor families. They began to analyze the intelligence and pay attention to Chu Wujiang's movements to see if it would be appropriate for them to join them.

Cui Zhuo stopped writing and said in a deep voice:

"it does not matter."

"If Guanjun Hou is not suitable for surrender, then I will take part in the imperial examination. I can't say if I will get the first-class Jinshi, but the second-class is a little behind, which is still easy."

Cui Zhuo is the best test-taker among the three. He has the talent of "passing the imperial examination" and is very good at solving problems. (Note: Chapter 113)
Li Zui sighed:
"What's that worth?"

"Are we short of a second-class rank?"

All three of them were born in top aristocratic families and looked down on the second-class Jinshi. Especially in the Tianming Dynasty, where aristocratic families and powerful people coexisted, the value of the Jinshi was incomparable to that of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Cui Zhuo said in a deep voice:
"With a second-class ranking, I can go to the Northern Frontier to make meritorious contributions."

"After graduation, many students go to the northern border to fight and establish their own families."

“It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of an ox.”

Li Zui objected:
"The Northern Frontier is too dangerous. I have counted the number of peerless geniuses who have died in the Northern Frontier over the past few hundred years. As for geniuses, there are even more."

“The three of us are only geniuses, so it’s best not to go to the Northern Frontier before we reach the Yuanling realm.”

The three of them had just advanced to the Yuandan realm, and they had received a Jade Liquid Elixir from their family.

Li Zui knew what was going on and didn't dare to commit suicide.

Cui Zhuo hardened his heart and said:
"A real man should not be submissive!"

"Otherwise, we will just become county magistrates or prefects, spending our time on daily chores, and be satisfied with reaching the ninth level of Yuandan?"

Li Zui was speechless for a moment and asked quickly:

"Brother Lu, what do you think?"

Li Zui and Cui Zhuo started arguing. Lu Zhengwen fell into deep thought. When he heard Li Zui's call, he slowly spoke:

"Brother Li, are you saying that the Champion Marquis spent a fortune on horse bones in order to get promoted, and even sent people to take care of his family?"

Li Zui nodded and said:
"indeed so."

Lu Zhengwen said seriously:

"This shows that the Champion Marquis had just established his government, and he couldn't attract any talented people to join him, so he resorted to this desperate measure."

“It is indeed a great opportunity for us.”

Cui Zhuo looked embarrassed when he heard this.

Li Zui frowned and said:
"It's fine with me, as long as the Champion Marquis is generous with the money so that I can afford the spirit wine."

“But Brother Lu, what about Brother Cui’s family?”

Chu Wujiang is determined to overturn the verdict, but the world is unpredictable and it is very likely that the Lu family and the Cui family will be affected.

One controls the Inspectorate and the other controls the Dali Temple.

Lu Zhengwen smiled:
"If we seek refuge with them, we can tell the family that it is to coordinate the relationship between the two families."

"We are not important, but we have some room to maneuver."

"If the Champion Marquis asks us, we will say that our status in the family is too low, so we came to seek refuge."

“This way, we have the chance to have the best of both worlds!”

"I'm sure even if the Champion Marquis falls out, he'll be able to contain the situation and not make it a big deal."

That makes sense!
Their eyes lit up instantly.
A family is a family, and an individual is an individual.

As long as the family agrees, there are many ways to make a profit.

The two shouted in unison:
"We listen to Brother Lu."

In addition to these three people, similar discussions also caused a wave in the Imperial College.

After all, most of the students in the Imperial College are children of officials, and they are much more well-informed than those from poor families.

Since Chu Wujiang was willing to offend so many forces for an ordinary promotion, it showed that he was very reliable and the best kind of leader.

What they are worried about is whether Chu Wujiang can withstand this wave?
"If the Champion Marquis is suppressed, wouldn't it be impossible for us to succeed if we join them?"

"But if he can withstand the pressure, he will have a bright future."

"Would you like to take a gamble?"

The students of the Imperial College were at worst successful candidates from humble backgrounds. There were no idiots among them, and they all saw that a fierce clash was about to occur between the two sides.

Either the three officials will be convinced, or Chu Wujiang will give in.

This made them very confused.

While they were struggling, Chu Wujiang followed Mr. Zhiping to Juxian Hall, which was specially used to entertain distinguished guests.

What surprised Chu Wujiang was that he and Mr. Zhiping were not the only ones in the Juxian Hall. There was also a young woman who was concentrating on watching the chessboard.

The woman observed for a long time, until the two entered the hall, then she slowly spoke:

"Master Jijiu, you lose."

The young woman suddenly placed a black chess piece, securing the victory.
