Chen Ying was keenly aware that since the reopening of school, the number of "mainland students" in Beidi Academy has gradually increased.
Without him needing to pry, private discussions among his classmates exposed the real details of these 'mainland students'.
Some are descendants of caravan stewards, which is relatively normal.
Some of them are children of common people from the mainland who have immigrated here, which is not normal. Beidi Academy is not a so-called common people's school, Shu Xiu said that it is quite expensive.
What's more, there are actually students who come from thousands of miles away from the mainland to study, which I always feel is ridiculous.
In addition, it was obvious that this group of mainland students wanted to stay together for warmth. They gathered around the young masters from the imperial capital and slowly began to suppress the local students from the North.
The student body of the academy is no longer calm either...
"Third brother, you don't know, I led some people to teach a few bad guys a lesson this morning!"
"I thought it was great to rely on the young master who came from the imperial capital, but he still dared to show off his power in front of me, and beat them without any discussion!"
"Also, those young masters from the capital are going too far. They even dare to form gangs in the academy. Do they take me, the little bully, seriously?"
"Third brother, I plan to find an opportunity to teach them a lesson. You must come over to help me when the time comes!"
"Third brother, third brother, are you listening to what I'm saying?"
The little fat man stuck his head out of the car window and kept chattering. When he entered Beidi City, he finally couldn't hold it back and started shouting loudly.
"Listen!"
Chen Ying also leaned her head against the car window and said in a funny tone: "Aren't I listening to your 'great achievements'? I didn't realize it for a while!"
"Hehe, it's not really a 'great achievement', I just can't stand what those guys did!"
The little fat man suddenly became energetic and said proudly: "I can only have one little overlord in the academy, and we will never allow those young masters from the imperial capital to take the lead!"
"Aren't you afraid that there are good people hiding around them?"
Chen Ying funnyly reminded: "Your uncle should have told you!"
After all, they are from the imperial capital, so the resources will definitely not be much worse. When we met recently, those young masters were surrounded by experts with strong auras.
"What are you afraid of?"
The little fat man said disapprovingly: "No matter how good they hire, can they still be better than my little uncle?"
"Your uncle will not act rashly!"
Chen Ying directly exposed the little fat man's background and said angrily: "When the time comes, I will watch the fun from the side, and let you learn a lesson first!"
"No, third brother..."
The little fat man immediately shouted: "Third brother, you must be there when the time comes. If anything goes wrong, third brother will have to help!"
"I knew you had no good intentions!"
Chen Ying said with a smile: "You want me to help you hold the battle, but you have to show something, right?"
"What does Third Brother want to express?"
"At least one thirty-year-old ginseng!"
"No problem, my mother's place has a lot of them, both fifty and one hundred years old. Third brother, do you want them?"
"Don't, don't, don't, it's fine if you're thirty years old. I'm not greedy at all, otherwise Aunt Zhao will cause trouble for me!"
"Third brother is cautious by nature, what are you afraid of?"
The little fat man said so enthusiastically that Chen Ying rolled her eyes, "Aunt Zhao is your biological mother, so she won't do anything to you, but if she suspects that I'm plotting against you, will she let it go easily?"
While they were chatting and laughing, out of the corner of their eyes, they saw a few official servants dressed as government officials pushing and shoving a few men who looked like old farmers with fierce looks on their faces. The atmosphere was quite tense.
I occasionally encounter this kind of scene when I return to the city recently.
"Master Hong, who are the men captured by those gang of government officials?"
Feeling something strange inside, Chen Ying asked Hong Huyuan next to him: "I've seen it several times in the past few days!"
In other words, Hong Huyuan has now become his full-time bodyguard.
There was no way, Chen Ying's cultivation level had already reached Huajin at this time, even if his body bones hadn't grown yet, it would be just as easy to deal with an early Dark Jin warrior like Hong Huyuan.
The mistress of the palace just went along with the situation and let Hong Huyuan become his full-time bodyguard, which was a fair way to let Chen Ying know.
Chen Ying didn't care. If the mistress of the palace hadn't arranged it, he would have doubted which one of them was the spy who made reports every day.
There is no need to care about Hong Huyuan's mood. Anyway, we have been getting along for several years and our relationship is pretty good. There is no need to recruit someone unfamiliar to you.
"I guess it has something to do with the fields outside the city!"
After just glancing at it, Hong Huyuan curled his lips and whispered: "I don't know, Third Young Master, but I heard that the prefect and a group of civil servants from the imperial capital have great plans to buy property in the north!"
Chen Ying was suddenly enlightened and said disdainfully: "Then you want to target those small landowners and farmers with land?"
Hong Huyuan nodded silently and looked at those arrogant government officials with quite unkind eyes...
Tsk!
What does it mean that dogs can’t change and eat shit? That’s it!
How long have you been serving as an official in Beidicheng before you are so impatient to take plunder?
It is said that the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, and there is plenty of land for farming or grazing, but it just requires some energy to open up wasteland.
Obviously, the governor of the north and the civil servants from the capital did not want to waste such energy, but focused on the mature farmland outside the city.
After thinking about this clearly, Chen Ying's eyes suddenly turned cold...
I was used to seeing the shamelessness of civil servants in the Red Mansion World, but I didn't want to see it again in the main world. Moreover, the Northern Prefect and his party also made the wrong calculation.
The homesteaders and small landowners outside Beidi City are all family members of the Northland frontier soldiers!
Obviously, the days before were so smooth that these guys who came from the Imperial Capital thought that the methods in the Imperial Capital and the mainland were still useful in the North.
"Are those government officials all from the North?"
Glancing at the gang of ferocious government officials, Chen Ying asked curiously: "What do you want to do? Kill people and take wealth?"
"They were all recruited by the prefect who immigrated from the mainland!"
Hong Huyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he said disdainfully: "Relying on the power of the prefect, he is arrogant and domineering in Beidi City, and his prestige is very tight!"
Chen Ying smiled silently and said nothing more. He looked away and felt cold in his heart.
After returning home, I found a lot of carriages parked at the main entrance. They all belonged to the border army generals and noble families in Beidi City.
He didn't care and went to the garden to see the tigers as usual.
It wasn't until we had dinner in the main courtyard, and from the conversation between the mistress of the palace and the three aunts, that we learned what happened to the owner of the carriage we saw earlier.
Governor of the North!
There were also civil servants from the imperial capital who came with him!
Their behavior was somewhat excessive and had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the northern border army generals and nobles.
This time, a group of generals and their families came to the palace, hoping that the Zhenbei Palace would come forward to restrain the Northern Governor and his party.
In particular, the gang of government officials didn't even look down on the servants in the frontier general's mansion, and even dared to bully and extort them. Such a situation is absolutely intolerable.
The mistress of the palace is also having a headache. She naturally knows the true purpose of the Northern Prefect and his party. Even if it is just for the Emperor of Qi to see, she cannot act rashly.
However, the recent behavior of the Northern Prefect and his entourage has indeed become more and more excessive, and it will not do without a beating.
The three aunts don't care about so many things. The families behind them are all powerful in the upper north. It is absolutely unbearable for the dragon crossing the river from the imperial capital to be too unscrupulous.
Therefore, everyone spoke in a bad tone when talking about this matter. Aunt Zhao even sarcastically said: "I don't know where the Northern Governor got his confidence. He actually sent people to my mother's house to buy two mature ones at a low price.
Granges and pastures are like lions with their mouths wide open and their courage high!"
The other two aunts also talked about the blackmail suffered by their parents' families, and their expressions were not very good.
The mistress of the palace has an even bigger headache...
Chen Ying sat in the corner and continued to act as an ordinary transparent person.
There was no excitement in my heart, but after having dinner as usual, I silently bowed to the mistress of the palace and the three aunts, and then prepared to return to the small courtyard where I lived.
"Wait a minute, Third Brother, how is the situation at Beidi Academy?"
The mistress of the palace suddenly stopped Chen Ying and asked directly: "I heard that the number of mainland students in the academy is increasing rapidly?"
"Yes Mistress!"
Chen Ying replied respectfully: "These students like to stick together. Now they are all gathered in front of a few scholars from the imperial capital, faintly suppressing the momentum of the students from the North!"
"Oh, is this the case even in the academy?"
The mistress of the palace's eyes flickered, and she said in a deep voice: "Are these students deliberately targeting the students from the North?"
"The third son of General Zhou's family was beaten up a few days ago, and the eldest son of General Wu's family was also beaten. I heard that Captain Zheng's nephew was also bullied..."
Chen Ying's voice was clear and she said slowly: "The situation of my child and my fourth brother is not bad, but I can always feel the malice of those students!"
"That's right, if it wasn't for my uncle's restraint, I would have started a fight with those guys!"
The little fat man jumped up, his fat face full of ferocity, and shouted: "You are so weird all day long, I hate it when you look at it!"
The face of the princess's mistress was as dark as water, and she waved her hand to indicate that Chen Ying and the three aunts could leave. No one knew what she was thinking.
Chen Ying walked slowly to the small courtyard where she lived according to her usual rhythm.
"Third Young Master, is there really such chaos in the academy?"
Li Ma held an angry lantern in her hand and said with worry on her face: "If those students from the imperial capital bully them to the point..."
She could hear it clearly in the mistress's yard before. She felt that the current situation in the North was a bit strange, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
"It doesn't matter, just call back!"
Chen Ying smiled and said: "No matter how arrogant and arrogant these guys are, they dare not fail to give face to the government, otherwise they still want to continue to hang out in the North?"
"I'm just afraid that some people are not smart enough and really think that the government can provoke them. That would be bad!"
Li Ma is also well-informed and can't help but express her worries. It's not like she hasn't heard of it before. Some people from the imperial capital didn't even give the Duke face, even though they suffered a big loss later...
