Chapter 16
"What's your name? Why did you end up here?"
Pang Yu stood behind him and asked.
Holding the brush between his arms, he wrote. It was very difficult, and he wrote very slowly. However, he wrote slowly, and Pang Yu did not urge him.
"Zhou Qin?"
This was a very ordinary name. Zhou Qin continued to write it slowly, but he did not give up. Along the way, a servant would take off the brush from time to time to dip it in ink and let him clamp it again.
This was a very long story. This Zhou Qin was not a student, but a juren. He was originally from the outskirts of the capital, and this time, he had entered the capital to participate in the Fall Quarter Examinations. On the way, he met a young man who had been bitten by a snake and was unconscious.
This person was also a High Scholar who had entered the capital to participate in the Fall Quarter Examinations. Zhou Qin had cut his leg with a knife, releasing poisonous blood from his back to a woodcutter's house in a famous mountain to recuperate.
It was not until the afternoon of the second day that he woke up. After he woke up, Zhou Qin talked to him and learned that this person was also called Zhou Qin and was also a candidate who entered the capital to take the exam. The two of them hit it off at first sight. That night, they placed an incense burner outside the woodcutter's house to swear a brotherhood. Zhou Qinnian, who was saved, became the adopted brother, and he became the second brother.
On the evening of the third day, his big brother suddenly had diarrhea and fell ill in bed. The woodcutter rushed to the nearby town overnight to get a doctor to treat him.
On the fourth day, he got up at noon to prepare for the Fall Quarter Examinations. His elder brother wanted to attend the Fall Quarter Examinations, but because he could not get up, he cried. After comforting his brother, he went straight to the Fall Quarter Examinations.
After attending the Fall Quarter Examinations, he returned to the woodcutter's residence to take care of his eldest brother until he recovered. They didn't leave after they recovered from their illness. They continued to stay in the woodcutter's house, waiting for the day the results were released. This was because the Fall Quarter Examinations were usually held after the beginning of autumn and before the end of summer.
The release of the results was basically after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the officials of the imperial court came back from their leave to release the results. The time difference was about one and a half months.
On the day of the release of the rankings, he did not go to the capital to look at the rankings because he was not drunk on his official career. Instead, he was drunk on the mountains and rivers.
That day, his elder brother went and saw that he had been personally selected by the Emperor as the top scholar. He then returned and told him the good news. They also prepared food and wine to celebrate. Who knew that his elder brother had already harbored disloyalty, thinking that they were both Zhou Qin and the imperial court did not know what his second brother looked like.
Thus, he prepared a jar of poisoned wine. The two of them drank. His elder brother did not drink a single mouthful, and he was completely unprepared. He drank the poisoned wine. Then, his throat ached and he could not speak. Only then did he realize that the wine was poisoned.
However, it was too late. Taking advantage of this opportunity, his big brother splashed his face with strong wine, causing him to lose his sight again. Then, he used his hand to cut his tendons. Just as he was about to kill him, the woodcutter dragged his injuries back.
It turned out that long ago, his big brother had already harmed the woodcutter. At that time, the woodcutter's life was tough, and although he was injured, he didn't die. When he came back and saw that he had been killed, he delayed his brother and asked him to report the case to the government.
He fell down the cliff in a daze. Fortunately, the mountain was not high, so he only fainted for a while. Then, he used his intuition to sneak into Kaifeng City and stopped in a dilapidated house.
It didn't take long, but Zhou Qin used both his arms to hold the brush and had someone re-ink it midway. It took a lot of time, and it was already evening when he finished writing.
" Bang! Even my savior, my sworn brother, wants to frame me. This person deserves to die!"
Pang Yu kicked the stool beside him and said hatefully. He came to the Song Dynasty. Although he was also a playboy, he had his own bottom line. He had never harmed the commoners. Previously, he had forcefully visited the bride on the street, but no one died or was even injured.
"Brother, what happened?"
Qin Xianglian had just pushed open the door when she saw Pang Yu's angry expression. She couldn't help but ask in fear. Although Grand Preceptor Pang had taken her as his adopted daughter, her status as his adopted daughter was definitely extraordinary. It was just that she was just an ordinary citizen before, so she could not adapt to this status for the time being. Usually, she also had some psychological barriers when facing Pang Yu.
"Phew, it's nothing. Is there anything you need from me?”
Pang Yu took a deep breath and softly said.
"Godfather called Godbrother to the reception hall for a meal.”
Qin Xianglian said.
"Okay, I understand. Go and tell Father that there's no need for it tonight. Get the kitchen to send me two sets of food later.”
Pang Yu said softly.
"Alright, I'll bring it to adopted brother later.”
Only then did Qin Xianglian leave. Pang Yu took another deep breath and looked at Zhou Qin,"Don't worry, I'm the current imperial uncle, the son of the Grand Preceptor. It's fine if I don't see him normally, but now that I know, I'll make him pay with his life.
I will avenge your grievances. Even if he was a prince, I would still arrest him, let alone the new top scorer.”
Zhou Qin was so excited that he knelt on the ground from his stool and kowtowed continuously. He could not say anything, so he could only use this method to express his gratitude.
Pang Yu didn't move aside and helped him. He kowtowed a few times, and he should accept it.
"There's no need to kowtow. Don't worry, there's no one in Kaifeng that I don't dare to do.”
This made Zhou Qin feel extremely moved. He also knew Pang Yu. After all, who in the world didn't know of such a great silkpants, the current imperial uncle and the son of the Grand Preceptor? A new top scorer was not a problem for him.
After a while, Qin Xianglian walked into the house with two servings of food on a tray.
"Brother, why were you angry just now? You seem quite angry? You are the only son in the family. If you are angry and your body is damaged, Godfather will be angry.”
Qin Xianglian put down the food and said softly.
Pang Yu shook his head and called over a servant to feed Zhou Qin before telling Qin Xianglian about him.
"This person is too ruthless. However, he was the new top scorer. Could his adopted brother do it? It was said that the new top scorers were all disciples of the emperor.”
Qin Xianglian said with some doubt.
"What bullsh * t new top scorer, the Son of Heaven's disciple? I'm the emperor's brother-in-law! Besides, how could a man say no? Wasn't he just a disciple of the emperor? Tomorrow, I'll let the people from the Grand Preceptor's Residence go on the streets to find out where this new top scorer is temporarily staying. After that, I'll bring people to arrest him.
What was a bullsh * t new top scorer? So what if he was arrested? Besides, what was wrong with arresting him for breaking the law?”
...............
Early the next morning, Pang Yu sent people out to gather information. This new top scorer was very dazzling, so it was not difficult to find out where he lived. After a while, someone sent back the news.
"Young Master, our people have investigated clearly. The new top scorer Zhou Qin was singing outside the Donghua Gate at this time today. He was the leader of the world. Later, Prime Minister Wang Yanling valued him and recruited him as his son-in-law. He should be having an engagement banquet in the Prime Minister's residence at this time.”
Pang Fu said as he stood beside Pang Yu. Pang Fu was the Head Butler of the Pang Residence and also the assistant and advisor of the Grand Preceptor. If Pang Yu needed the power of the Grand Preceptor Residence, he would naturally look for him.
"I know. You may leave ~ Where is my father?”
Pang Yu asked coldly.
"Master should be in the yamen now.”
Pang Fu said.
"I understand. Send someone to the Grand Commandant's Mansion and have Gao Baoshen come to see me immediately. Prepare a sedan chair as well. I'll go to the yamen to find my father.”
