Chapter 287 The Scarred Boy

"Do you think you can escape my arrest by pretending to be a beggar? Xiaowen, you are really naive. How can the person I want escape from my grasp so easily?"

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the young and handsome servant sitting on his lap hurriedly got up and retreated.

He smiled and patted his leg towards the scarred young man, "As long as you know the current affairs, based on the friendship between me and your father, your prosperity and wealth will be indispensable in the future."

The young man's face was covered with blood, but his eyes were filled with unyielding stubbornness and arrogance. He spat at the middle-aged man, "You ungrateful man! You bastard, if I go to the Nine Springs and become a ghost, I will definitely find you!" You kill yourself!"

"Even if your Song family has a high reputation among the common people for generations of Zhongliang, so what? Your father clung to my little mistake and ended up ruining the family. If it wasn't for your father's obsession with obsession, otherwise, I will rely on you." In terms of face, I won't kill him completely, but unfortunately, your parents are no longer here, otherwise, I really want them to see with their own eyes that the little son they want to cultivate to become a talent will become mine..."

"Shut up!" The boy held back his nausea, and stared at the middle-aged man he had called his second uncle for more than ten years.

The middle-aged man stood up, approached the young man step by step, and said, "Your father and I were sworn brothers, you called me second uncle for more than ten years, and I watched you grow up, Xiaowen, although I am not willing to Hurt you, but I have been waiting for you for too long..."

There was a greedy light in the eyes of the middle-aged man. After squatting down in front of the boy, he stretched out his hand to touch the boy's face.

There was a sudden movement outside the ruined temple——

"Is it here?"

"Someone saw Song Wen being brought into this ruined temple with his own eyes. Look, there are bloodstains on the ground..."

The conversation outside the ruined temple made the middle-aged man's subordinates look worried and said: "Master Sikong, it's unavoidable that something unexpected happened, I'll go and find out."

Outside the ruined temple, Shangguan Yuanyuan and Mencius looked at each other and decided to go in and have a look.

Just about to enter the ruined temple, a few tall and burly people came out of the ruined temple and blocked them.

"Lord Sikong is resting inside, please don't disturb other people."

One of them snapped.

When Shangguan Yuanyuan heard the other party mention the identity of Master Sikong, her pupils shrank, "Master Sikong is really inside?"

If it's that Lord Sikong!
That is the famous corrupt official in the book, his name is Liu Yi, he is the sworn brother of Song Wen's father, Song Jie, and also Song Jie's trusted subordinate.

Song Jie, as the previous Sikong, was particularly outstanding in water conservancy and construction, and he was a loyal minister and good official who cared for the people in everything.

But Liu Yi is not the case. Because he is profitable in water conservancy and construction, he gradually has a dissatisfaction with Song Jie.

So Liu Yi replaced Song Jie as the new Sikong, and after colluding with other courtiers to form an alliance, he has been making trouble in the court for many years.

After that, Song Wen concentrated on the imperial examination, and successfully reformed the imperial examination system by relying on the popularity and influence of the Song family among the common people, which stabilized the position of Tianmu's civil servants.

In the end, Liu Yi, who was the black sheep, was finally brought down by Song Wen.

However, in the original book, Song Wen did not become a beggar. He just devoted himself to the imperial examination after his father's accidental death, using his own way to cheer up and prosper the family.

Calculating the timeline, Song Wen should be preparing for the imperial examination now, and he will become a blockbuster in the imperial examination in the near future, becoming Tianmu's first literary champion.

So, what exactly went wrong?

So that Song Wen didn't follow the original plot, but instead had a scandal of plagiarism and was expelled from the academy?

Could it be that Liu Yi is behind the scenes?
