She silently retracted into the carriage, and a few seconds later, there was a sound of crying inside.

"Mom, I don't want to go to the academy, I don't want to study, oh oh oh"

"It's so noisy, your elder brother lied to you."

"Brother, why did you lie to me?"

"Because he's a bastard."

So Xu Qi'an became happier.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain and climbing up the stairs, Xu Qi'an and Xu Cijiu visited Zhang Shen, but the great scholar Li Mubai greeted them.

"Where's the teacher?" Xu Cijiu asked.

"It's closed." Li Mubai glanced at Xu Qi'an, and said calmly, "I have already arranged the courtyard."

Xu Cijiu bowed to thank him, and said: "Sister She is in the stage of enlightenment, sir, can you allow her to study in the academy for a while."

This request is not too much. If Xu Lingyue wants to study, the academy will definitely refuse, and Xu Lingyin is a five-year-old child. In this era, scholars do not reject enlightenment for children, and even advocate such things.

It's just that children from ordinary families can't afford to read books.

Li Mubai nodded in agreement.

Two days passed by in a hurry. In the early morning of this day, Xu Cijiu, who was visiting his classmates, Xu Ershu, who was inquiring about news, and Xu Qian, who hadn't listened to music for three consecutive days, gathered in the study.

Lu'e had already accompanied her to Yunlu Academy, and none of the three elders wanted to serve tea and water.

For the first time, they gathered the information they had collected and planned to formulate a plan to deal with Zhou Li.

Chapter 49 Social Death

Uncle Xu’s information is as follows:

"Zhou Li has been very quiet these past few days, probably because he was warned by Zhou Shilang, and he did not do any illegal or undisciplined behavior. He indulged in sensuality with a group of yamen all day long, going in and out of gambling houses, restaurants, Jiaofang Secretary and other places.

"In addition, during the follow-up process, I discovered that Zhou Li frequently entered and exited a certain house. There was no plaque on that house. It should be a private house he bought outside. There lived a maid, a woman, and an old man who was a gatekeeper. There is also a woman.

"Nine times out of ten, that woman was raised by him outside."

Xu New Year and Xu Qi'an listened silently, each in a different state of contemplation, Xu Qi'an looked down at the ground, and tapped his fingertips on the table unconsciously.

Xu Xinian looked up to the roof at a 45-degree angle, with Wushuang tucked in his sleeves, as if in a daze.

Second Uncle Xu finished speaking, looked at his nephew and son, and said, "What do you think?"

The nephew and son tacitly ignored him, looked at each other, and Xu Xinian said: "The students in our college are not the same as the students in the Imperial College, they despise and hostile to each other.

However, juren in the same period occasionally get together. The orthodoxy is opposite, but individuals can have friendship. "

Juren in the same period can be regarded as half of the classmates. If the relationship is established, it may not be unusable in the future.As for the orthodox dispute, compared with personal interests, it has to be left behind.

"Zhou Li is an arrogant and domineering person. He has had quarrels and conflicts with many of his classmates in the Imperial College. But he is by no means a fool. Those who have quarrels with him have ordinary backgrounds."

Xu Qi'an was not surprised by this. From Zhou Li's methods of dealing with him, it can be analyzed that this yamen's way of handling affairs is not clever, but it is effective, and has a certain degree of scheming and city government.

His arrogance and domineering only target people with lower background and influence than himself.

"This undoubtedly increases the difficulty for us to deal with him." Xu Qi'an sighed.

Xu Nian glanced at him: "Don't interrupt, listen to me.

"Zhou Li has been obsessed with Miss Fuxiang from the Jiaofang Division for a long time. Whenever he goes to the Jiaofang Division, he must find Miss Fuxiang. But he has repeatedly failed in the 'Da Chawei'."

Fragrance girl?The oiran of the Jiaofang Division?Wang Butou said that a beauty who sleeps for one night is worth a lifetime?Xu Qi'an's spirit lifted.

Xu Nian raised his teacup, glanced at the empty cup, put it down again helplessly, and said:

"I originally thought that I could play the game of driving tigers and swallowing wolves again. Using Zhou Li's conflicts with his classmates to make plans, but those classmates were not enough, and with Zhou Li's prudence, it was too difficult for him to mess with higher-level yamen. Large, almost impossible to achieve.

"Zhou Li has gone to the Jiaofang Division very many times. If you want to get more information, that girl Fuxiang is an excellent breakthrough."

Dudu Xu Qi'an knocked on the table.

When Xu Ershu and Xu Erlang looked over, he said in a deep voice: "I must remind you of one thing, no matter what time we have to do subtraction, the more complicated the plan, the more loopholes.

"To deal with Zhou Li, it is impossible for us to have too complicated and sophisticated plans, because the gap between them is too great. Goodbye, don't fall into the wrong thinking."

Scholars are most likely to be clever and misunderstood by cleverness. When calculating people, it will make it more difficult for themselves to think about the subtlety of the layout and the superb means.

Especially Xu Cijiu, who has a high self-esteem and is familiar with the art of war.

Xu Cijiu frowned, a little agreed, but a little unconvinced: "What's the big brother's opinion?"

"Simple, the simpler the better." Xu Qi'an thought about it: "The crime that really has no trace is murder of passion, and we should do the same when we make plans."

"How simple? First, don't involve too many people, and second, don't make things too complicated. Farewell, if Zhou Li had a conflict with a certain yamen, and the father of that yamen happened to be able to wrestle with Zhou Shilang, What would you do?"

Xu New Year fell into deep thought.

"Okay, your silence speaks for itself." Xu Qi'an waved his hand, interrupting the younger brother's thinking. There must have been a lot of scheming and conspiracy in the younger brother's mind.

"My idea is that we can disguise ourselves, seize the opportunity to beat up the yamen directly, and walk away."

Xu Pingzhi finally seized the opportunity to interrupt, and slapped his thigh: "Ning Yan's idea is my favorite."

The two brothers rolled their eyes at the same time.

Xu Cijiu frowned and said, "Is it that simple?"

Xu Qi'an nodded: "Simple doesn't mean it's ineffective. More often than not, it's beneficial to leave blank. The yamen who was beaten would think, who has he offended recently? After thinking about it, oh, it's that bastard Zhou Li.

"As for this kind of thing, Zhou Li will definitely not admit it, but it's not important. Everyone is free to testify. Anyway, the conflict has intensified. If you hit me, I will take revenge."

Xu Cijiu is a smart person with a high level of comprehension, and after thinking about it for a while, he can understand what big brother means.

He nodded slightly, with a proud expression: "Not bad."

Added: "What information did the elder brother collect?"

Xu Qi'an didn't show off, and said: "I found out who Zhou Shilang's political opponent is."

Xu New Year and Second Uncle Xu leaned over at the same time, their faces suddenly became serious, and they assumed a listening posture.

Xu Qi'an sneered: "Shangshu of the Household Department."

Hubu Shangshu? !Xu Xinian's heart was shocked, and many doubts were solved in an instant.
