Chapter 502: Justice, Wounding the Enemy a Thousand, Self‑Harm Eight Hundred

Xiao Shitou stared at the paper the Chief Instructor presented for a while and said, "Wang Yuanhang, the characters on the paper are exactly the same as the ones you wrote, yet you still dare say you didn't write them! You're too much! Not only did you insult my mother in front of us, you also wrote insults to my mother on the paper…"

What!

Wang Yuanhang fixed his gaze and thought, isn't this just a lot like the characters he wrote himself?

His heart gave a sudden thump, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Shi Jin snorted and said, "Wang Yuanhang, now that things have come to this, what more can you say?"

"I… I didn't…"

Wang Yuanhang hadn't finished speaking.

Shi Jin cut him off: "Since you have nothing left to say, you should quickly apologize to us, apologize to my Third Aunt, otherwise I…"

He hadn't finished his sentence.

Qiao Sheng rubbed his head and said, "Don't be impatient; the Chief Instructor will give us justice."

Upon hearing that, Wang Yuanhang immediately shouted at Shi Jin, "Shi Jin, I didn't mean that just now; I mean I didn't write those words, I didn't do it…"

"The evidence is right in front of you, yet you still won't admit it."

Shi Jin again seemed like he wanted to beat Wang Yuanhang.

Perhaps he sensed it.

Wang Yuanhang subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

The woman earlier, Wang Yuanhang's mother, Shui, saw Shi Jin about to strike her own son, and she stepped forward shouting, "You little brat, what are you doing!"

"Who are you calling a little brat? Our Shi Jin is not as stinky as your son!"

Qiao Sheng, after replying to Shui, turned to the Chief Instructor and said, "Chief Instructor, our children are a bit mischievous, but they have always been kind‑hearted; they wouldn't even hurt cats or dogs unless forced."

In other words.

Xiao Shitou and the others beat Wang Yuanhang and his group solely because Wang Yuanhang's side was too over the line.

All of this.

is Wang Yuanhang's group's fault.

Shui glared at Qiao Sheng and said, "Stop slandering my son."

The family members of the other children all began to speak up for Shui at this moment.

Seeing them reach this point.

and still say that.

Qiao Sheng was no longer polite.

"Slander? Fine, if you think it's slander, then we'll go to the Emperor and have him send someone to investigate this matter, to see whether it's your son's fault or my son's and theirs' fault."

Shui's husband is a Third‑rank Minister of Rites, a respectable position, but if this matter really escalates there—

they might not get a good outcome.

The fathers of the other children are even less; their official ranks are lower than Shui's husband's.

At this moment they were all panicking.

They all looked toward Shui.

Shui gritted her teeth and kicked her own son's leg: "You little brat, you better tell me clearly what this matter is really about!"

Defending one's own mother like that, so fierce.

Wang Yuanhang was stunned.

He got up, saw his mother giving him a look, bit his lip, and reluctantly, though unwillingly, apologized to Qiao Sheng and the others.

He had already apologized.

The other several children could no longer stick to their previous statements, and they also apologized.

Qiao Sheng glanced at them and said, "Since you've apologized, I won't pursue this today, but if it happens again, it won't be so easy."

Scum.

How arrogant!

Shi Lin is just a commander; what's so impressive about that?

He chatted a few words with the Chief Instructor.

Qiao Sheng led Xiao Shitou and the others out of the Imperial Academy and then got onto a carriage.

They sat down.

Qiao Sheng looked at each of them in turn.

Shi Jin came over and said, "Aunt Qiao, my hand hurts…"

Hearing that,

Qiao Sheng's gaze fell on his reddened, swollen back of the hand, and he twisted his mouth, saying, "Wounding the enemy a thousand, self‑damage eight hundred."

"No, they're worse off than me."

Shi Jin lifted his chin and said, "I bruised Wang Yuanhang's face, knocked out Li Minghe's front tooth, dislocated Zhang Mobai's hand…" (End of chapter)
