Chapter 133 I don't want to say it again(1/2)
"What? You still want to take action?" Wang Hexiang's face turned a little pale, but he still managed to yell angrily.
You must know that a teacher is like a father. Although he is not Li Yi's master, he is also his mentor. If he really dares to do something, his reputation will be far and wide and his reputation will be extremely bad. No normal person would do that.
"Li Yi, don't be impulsive. Let's report this matter to our father and let him make a decision, shall we?" Sun Ce was also anxious, holding on to his inner sleeves to prevent him from doing anything.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi also sighed secretly. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the depressed young man next to him say again: "Don't provoke this Li Yi. You must know that refugees like him are desperadoes.
You know you are not good enough for me, but if you die together with us, what will happen to you?"
Refugees are miserable people, but in these eyes they become extremely vicious people. What does it mean to have a low life? What does it mean to be unworthy? Li Yi felt that his heart was burning with anger, and his eyes were a little red.
.
He broke away from Sun Ce, raised his legs and walked towards the sluggish young man. Along the way, the students who were watching the show in an aggressive manner just now avoided him, as if they were afraid of getting caught in something disgusting.
"Kneel down and apologize to my mother and the refugees you just insulted." Li Yi walked up to the young man and said something that stunned everyone.
"What did you say?" The sluggish young man stood up as if he couldn't believe it. He didn't go looking for trouble with Li Yi, but Li Yi actually found him.
Li Yi's voice suddenly turned cold: "I told you to kneel down and admit your mistake because you just insulted my mother and those refugees. Didn't you understand?"
"Do you know who my uncle is?" Looking at those cold and stern eyes, the young man's voice was trembling, but he still managed to stay calm and said: "My uncle is the royal censor of the imperial court. If you know who he is, come to me quickly."
Kneel down and admit your mistake, otherwise not only will you die, but your mother will also die."
He maintains this identity, has a very high status among his classmates, and is complimented by those around him, so he can't stand such provocation. He has always been the only one to bully a pariah like him, so how can this pariah get a chance to become arrogant?
The rest of the people in the room looked at Li Yi with gloating, and a few men with unbearable expressions couldn't help but shook their heads secretly, saying to themselves that this man is really stupid, and it is helpless to be humiliated. He can only retaliate after he becomes famous in the future, why bother with this?
Such entanglement, but no chance to turn over.
There is an uncle who is a censor. If he just says hello, Li Yi will probably be in trouble.
But the reality soon made them open their mouths and couldn't believe it, because Li Yi not only did not flinch, but actually grabbed the young man's wrist and slapped him with the other hand.
Li Yi came down and kicked him in the lower abdomen again.
The young man who had been so aggressive just now, shouting that his uncle was the imperial censor, was not only helpless to fight back, but was kicked by Li Yi and he flew up, hitting the wall directly, and screamed like a slaughtering pig.
The students watching the show all stood aside dumbfounded, looking stupidly at Li Yi with a plain face, and then at the young man lying on the ground screaming with a bruised nose and swollen face, but they were unable to react.
"You, you, you..." Wang Hexiang was so frightened that he couldn't say anything. According to what he thought, ordinary people are naturally afraid of officials. Li Yi must have humbly admitted his mistake. Unexpectedly, not only did he not admit his mistake, but he directly took action.
He raised his hand.
It is very easy to master violence and become accustomed to using violence to solve problems. But when encountering problems, you can only solve them with violence at the risk of crisis, and that is a very sad thing.
Li Yi knows that he is choosing the latter now, but that is because he has the ability to bear the consequences. If he were to be replaced by a real refugee boy, I am afraid that even if he touches a hair of this young man, his family will be destroyed, and he will live in pain and suffering forever.
among.
He slowly walked towards the young man, looked deeply into the frightened eyes, and said: "Kneel down and apologize to my mother and the refugees you insulted."
Originally, the young man was frightened when he saw Li Yi coming over. However, as a son of a noble family, he surrendered to an untouchable and would be laughed to death. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yi."
Yi, if you kneel down and apologize to me now, I might..."
Li Yi didn't hesitate at all, and stepped directly on the young man's left hand. His eyes were as deep and cold as the night, without any mercy.
A heart-stopping scream came from the young man's mouth. He was already hoarse due to the excessive pain, like an evil ghost undergoing punishment in purgatory. It made people shudder. The surrounding students heard this miserable scream that did not sound like a human voice.
He screamed, and his face turned pale with fright. The look he looked at Li Yi was no longer mocking, but fearful, deep fear.
"I don't want to say it again." Under the cold words, everyone shuddered in unison.
"I, I, I...my uncle is the censor..." Even at this time, the young man still wanted to threaten Li Yi with his uncle's identity.
He is really a smart child who bullies others unscrupulously and enjoys the pleasure of being trampled and belittled. Once he encounters difficulties, he will hide under the protection of his uncle. He is unwilling to endure the trouble he has caused, but instead gets involved in it.
Looking at the pain on the other person's face with a sneer,
Li Yi likes this kind of opponent the most. It would be so boring if he surrendered so easily. A cold smile appeared on his face, and he crushed the fingers under his feet hard, inch by inch.
Amidst the blood-curdling screams, the young man fainted from the pain.
Looking up at the shocked students around him, Li Yi did not stop. Instead, he reached out and slowly took off the hairpin from the young man's head. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he plunged it into the young man's back.
The sharp hairpin pierced the body and spurted out a trace of blood, which also made everyone's heart skip a beat. Then with a miserable scream, the young man slowly woke up again.
This time, Li Yi didn't need to speak. The young man fell to his knees with fear on his face, and began to kneel down and apologize as Li Yi said.
In fact, Li Yi didn't like this scene. He came here just to gain knowledge and wisdom. If he didn't have these two things and didn't want to waste time, he would just leave as soon as possible.
However, some people just like to provoke ordinary people like themselves. If they are slapped in the face, they will move out of their elders. Only when the elders are not good enough will they be willing to admit their mistakes. This is actually quite tiring.
"Sir, since I'm leaving, can you return the ten taels of silver to me?" Li Yi walked up to Wang Hexiang and said.
If it were in the past, Wang Hexiang would have scolded such a student and driven him away, and then branded him a bad name for being ignorant and disrespectful. But his status as a teacher cannot protect him, and his temperament of bullying and fearing the strong will make him obedient.
He took out the money from his arms and carefully handed it to Li Yi's hand.
Li Yi took the money and stood there looking at Wang Hexiang. It seemed that such a teacher could not treat him like other wealthy children. When he treated them, he was gentle, but he only treated himself with disdain or fear.
Disdainful of one's own origin and fearful of one's own brute force.
Wang Hexiang looked at the vulgar boy in front of him staring at him. Cold sweat broke out on his face and the clothes on his back were soaked. He was thinking wildly in his head now. He was afraid that Li Yi wouldn't rush up and beat him up, maybe a little bit.
Flesh wounds are bad enough, but if you lose face in front of students, you will be even more shameless in front of others.
Fortunately, Li Yi handed the money to Sun Ce and went out directly. This made all the students sit down with relief and let out a long sigh of relief.
"I will definitely pay a visit to the county magistrate for such a wicked person and punish him for his offence."
After walking out of the school, Li Yi heard Wang Hexiang's angry roar coming from inside.
On the same day, I returned to the Sun Mansion and wanted to take Mr. Li back with me, only to find that Mr. Li had left early in the morning and seemed to have returned to the northwest.
Not knowing what was so urgent, Mr. Li just left a letter, opened it and read it again. He just told Li Yi to ask Sun Chengzong for advice, not to slack off in his homework, and to strive to obtain fame as soon as possible.
After seeing this, Li Yi smiled bitterly. If Mr. Li had known that he had caused such a big mess on his first day in school, I wonder if he would have warned him so expectantly.
Now that Mr. Li had left, Li Yi didn't want to listen to Master Sun's instructions, so he simply rode his horse and returned to Anxin with his luggage.
Just after returning to his residence, Zhang San found out from nowhere that he was back and came to the door.
"Commander of the Brigade, I heard that you are back. What a coincidence. I was just about to send someone to find you." Zhang San walked in majestically, wearing armor and a saber hanging on his waist.
When he saw Li Yi wearing a moon-white Confucian robe, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "You have been to the county town, but you are not ordinary. When you dress up like this, you really look like a human being. It looks like
Like a scholar."
"What kind of scholar is not a scholar? If you have anything to do here, tell me quickly." Li Yi took down the books and walked into the house to drink some water.
"What's your attitude? I'm here for business." Zhang San sat down and said, "Then people from the He family are here, asking you to put He Yaozu back."
"He Yaozu?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had captured the third son of the He family in a battle some time ago. He didn't expect the He family to react so slowly. It took nearly ten days before they sent someone to report the matter.
"What do you mean?" Li Yi asked.
"What else could it be, just to let us release him? They also threatened him, saying that their eldest son was an official in Ruchao, and their second son was also a prominent maritime merchant. As for the ransom, they didn't mention a word.
"Zhang San said with a disappointed face. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him, but now it seems that there is no chance.
Hearing that the He family did not mention the ransom, Li Yi had a sneer on his face. He had just been angry, but now he was not used to the bad temper of those rich and noble people. When the servants participated in the war, many brave soldiers died in their hands.
, and now he lets me go with just one sentence, and he really thinks he is easy to bully.
"How is He Yaozu doing now?" Li Yi asked.
"What else can we do? Lock it up!" Zhang San said.
"What about the rest of the prisoners?"
"Of course they were taken to build the wall. We now have two thousand prisoners. How can we keep them in vain every day and just follow the previous rules and urge them to work. Don't tell me, the construction speed of the new town has suddenly increased.
A lot." Zhang San said happily.
Since the battle that day, more than a thousand bandits have surrendered. Including the previous prisoners, there are nearly two thousand people. These people are all young and strong bandits. If they are locked up, they will waste food. If they are released, they will cause harm to the countryside and absorb them.
When Li Yi came in, he was afraid that there would be spies inside, so he had to demote them all to coolies and have to work every day.
Of course, they can also get merit for their work, but it will be much less. Naturally, they will get less if they work less. As long as they get a certain amount of merit, they can gain freedom.
This kind of management method can maximize the labor efficiency of coolies. It seems that the effect is good now.
"Starting tomorrow, let He Yaozu go to work, and give him the hardest and most tiring work. Then tell him to write a letter to the He family every three days. I want to see if the He family is still there.
How can you sit like this?" Li Yi said in a cold tone.
Zhang San next to him heard this method, slapped his thigh and said: "Why didn't I think of this method? I thought he was a precious egg, and I just fed him good food and drink every day. Now that he is here to play hard to get, I
Just don't bother with the warm face and the cold butt, and just let He Yaozu do the hard work, and see if the He family can still sit still."
Now that he has a solution, Zhang San goes down to make arrangements.
When it was getting dark, the old patriarch was already very tired when he came back. He quickly ate a bowl of noodles with his bowl in hand, and then took Li Yi to sit in the yard and chatted.
He looked at Li Yi for a while and then asked softly: "Tell me the truth, did it happen or something else happened when you went to Gaoyang?"
Li Yu could only nod. The old patriarch knew that he went to Gaoyang, but he didn't know that he had become Sun Chengzong's teacher, nor did he know that he later went to Sun's school.
In fact, the old patriarch didn't ask about this matter. He also wanted to find someone to talk about it. What Wang Hexiang did made him very angry. Why were ordinary people like him working so hard to farm the land and pay taxes, but they were not respected? What if he was not respected?
Hard-working people are being insulted and living without dignity. What else can we expect in this world?
