Zhao Shiyun is just a county captain, he is incomparable to the British Duke, and he dare not offend the British Duke's grandson.
But he is also afraid that the case will come to light. In Weinan County, he can cover the sky with one hand, but if the case goes out of Weinan County, it will be uncertain.
Even in the Yongzhou governor's office, he only has fellow villagers and informants who can help him to find out and pass on information, but it is impossible to help him solve the case. A mere county lieutenant has not yet reached the level of hands and eyes.
So he had no choice but to commit murder.
While killing Xu Yuanqing, try not to provoke Li Qinzai.
This is Zhao Shiyun's only choice. If Xu Yuanqing is alive, the case of killing Xu Yuanqing's parents will come to light sooner or later, and Zhao Shiyun will be kidnapped to the execution ground and beheaded.
No matter how afraid you are of the grandson of the British Duke, in order to save your life, you can only take a chance.
With the death of Xu Yuanqing, the future troubles have been eliminated. Even if Li Qinzai is angered, Zhao Shiyun may still be able to survive. No matter how powerful the British government is, they cannot kill officials without reason.
Xu Yuanqing is alive, the case will be re-examined, the truth will be revealed, and Zhao Shiyun will die.
From Zhao Shiyun's perspective, his choice was actually the right one. Anyone else would have made the same choice.
Early in the morning, the sound of reading aloud could be heard from the backyard.
After Li Sujie and other dandies were severely whipped once by Li Qinzai, their attitude towards studying became more correct.
According to Li's teaching method, all his disciples are free-range students. Usually, whether you like to study or not, you only look at the final exam results anyway. If you get the last one, get out.
The last elimination system puts a lot of pressure on the dandies. Unlike the masters in palace schools and private schools, the pressure on the dandies no longer comes from the discipline of the masters, but from the exam results and the unbearable consequences after being eliminated.
Every day, Li Qinzai would take time to teach everyone a class. The content of the class was very random and mostly related to primary school mathematics, from the simplest Jiujiu song to demonstrations of two-digit multiplication and the application of various mathematical operation symbols.
As for the principle of the ice cube fire experiment that Li Sujie and others were obsessed with, the dandies eagerly asked for it many times, but Li Qinzai still didn't teach him.
It's not that he refuses to teach, but the principle is too profound. How can a group of dudes who have just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division signs learn it?
I got up in the morning and wandered into the makeshift classroom in the backyard. The classroom was noisy. The older children were fighting with each other and the younger ones were crying and screaming, just like a group of lawless hozens on Huaguo Mountain.
Before anyone could enter the room, Li Qinzai coughed twice in a pretentious manner.
There is nothing uncomfortable about his throat, but in his previous life, the teacher had to cough twice when entering the classroom. I don’t know if it was a ritual that was unique to teachers, so Li Qinzai also coughed, and he would not be in the group if he didn’t cough.
After two coughs, the class fell silent instantly.
Stepping into the classroom, everyone was sitting upright, each holding a book and looking attentively. Their little eyes were full of curiosity, as if they were happily pawing in the ocean of knowledge.
Li Qinzai secretly sneered, if I hadn't heard the noise outside, I would have really believed it.
Standing calmly on the podium, Li Sujie led the dandies to stand up and bowed in salute.
"Disciple pays homage to Sir." Everyone said in unison.
Li Qinzai hummed, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then wrote a few questions.
The questions are not difficult. They are just a few two-digit multiplications. If you are proficient, you can solve them in an instant.
"I taught you how to multiply two-digit numbers yesterday. If you solve these problems today, you will be starving for dinner if you cannot solve them. Three points will be deducted from the final exam."
Li Qinzai clapped his hands and then sat down. Hearing the dandies whining, Li Qinzai remained unmoved and lazily squinted his eyes, feeling an inexplicable sense of pleasure in his heart.
When he was studying in his previous life, he also lamented that every peck and every drink was retribution!
Being a teacher is indeed much more enjoyable than being a student, especially the kind of teacher who treats students like wild boars, charges a hundred dollars each for tuition, and whips them without any scruples. It is particularly enjoyable.
"Sir, disciple... I don't know how to do it." Shangguan Kun'er, the youngest, pursed his lips, tears welling up in his eyes.
Li Qinzai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he might be too lazy and too easy-going.
It is indeed a bit difficult for five or six-year-old children to do double-digit multiplication.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. Let's do this. I'll change some questions for you if you are under eight years old.":.
As Li Qinzai wrote down a few more two-digit addition and subtraction problems, Shangguan Kun'er and several children under eight years old became happy and began to count the problems with their fingers.
After an hour passed, Li Qinzai was a little disappointed, but there was not a single person who turned in the paper.
"They all say 'the stupid bird flies first'. I have fully realized your stupidity, but I didn't expect that there is not even one person who flies first. Are you so stupid?" Li Qinzai shook his head and sighed.
Li Sujie and other dandies felt their chests tighten.
The familiar heart-wrenching feeling.
After straightening up and looking around, Li Qinzai asked again: "Where is Qiao'er?"
Li Sujie stood up and returned: "Sir, Li Qiao didn't come today. He said he didn't want to attend the recent classes because he had already learned them all."
Li Qinzai nodded. Qiao'er seemed to be more talented than them in mathematics and had now begun to learn comprehensive operations.
"Look at me, then look at you, tsk!" Li Qinzai couldn't help but start mocking again.
He is becoming more and more like a teacher, and has a completely different attitude towards top students and poor students.
Li Sujie wanted to roll her eyes.
He is your own son, and you have given him so many tricks. How can we compare?
He complained in his heart, but did not dare to show any emotions on the surface. Li Qinzai had already told them clearly that there is no so-called fairness when studying here. If you encounter unfairness, you must endure it.
…………
The weather was nice. Cui Jie took Qiao'er's little hand and came to the Weihe River.
When Qiao'er was playing with Cui Jie yesterday, she said casually that she wanted to eat fish. Cui Jie remembered it in her heart. Today she borrowed fishing nets, picks and other tools from the farmer and took Qiao'er to the river to catch fish.
The river was covered with thick ice. Cui Jie recalled how Li Qinzai used a pickaxe to break a hole in the ice, then dropped the bait and fished it out with a fishing net.
Qiao'er looked at her curiously and saw beads of sweat forming on her forehead as she smashed the ice with her pickaxe. Qiao'er couldn't help but raise her sleeves and wipe the sweat from Cui Jie's forehead.
Cui Jie was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Qiao'er is so sensible." Cui Jie praised.
Qiao'er pursed her lips and said softly: "Auntie, we won't fish anymore, Qiao'er doesn't want to eat fish anymore."
Cui Jie felt warm in her heart.
Although that guy is very rude, his son is indeed well-behaved and considerate. He is simply a warm little boy. His casual words make people feel warm and touching.
How can a son be raised like a father and a son like this? It’s so confusing.
"Auntie, you are not tired. I will definitely catch a big fish for you today. Let's grill it and eat it." Cui Jie smiled so hard that her eyes turned into crescent moons.
Qiao'er is a child after all. Hearing this, he nodded excitedly: "Let's bake by the river. I can light a fire. I can light a fire without breaking the fire. I learned it from my father."
Cui Jie smiled and rubbed his head: "Qiao'er is so awesome. He will definitely be better than your father when he grows up."
In the woods behind him, there was suddenly a rustling sound that came and went.
Cui Jie curiously glanced at the woods behind her, thinking it was an illusion, so she didn't pay attention. We provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
