After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Zhou Hui, who was lying on the table, babbled, "Why did you go to Xiangya Mountain? Of course, it was to avoid the dog owners in Shanshui County."

"How to say?"

Xie Jiabao didn't believe Zhou Hui's words. After all, who would be a bandit if he could survive?

Hearing this, Zhou Hui, who was originally lying down, stood up. His face was flushed and his eyes were blurry. It seemed that he was drunk.

He slammed the table and said, "Oh! Love is nothing but money. I am well-read, but because I have no money, my articles were stolen and my childhood sweetheart abandoned me."

"Hahaha! This is the way of the world, this is justice. If heaven is unfair, then I will become heaven's justice!"

"One day I will stand at the top and let those who look down on me see me."

"Little sister, mother, I will protect you...protect you."

As he was talking, Zhou Hui fainted and fell to the ground, lying in a dollop.

"Master, this..."

It is said that the truth comes out when drunk. Can this scholar be believed?

However, falling straight down like this didn't seem like a lie.

"Help him down to rest first!"

Xie Jiabao held his forehead with his hand. He couldn't tell whether what the scholar said was true or false.

The next day, Zhou Hui woke up and found a bump on the back of his head.

He pressed it lightly, it hurt so much!

"Brother Zhou, are you awake? Come and have some porridge."

Xie Jiabao came in with some vegetable porridge, his face full of friendliness.

Zhou Hui quickly took the porridge and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Xie. I... have never drunk alcohol before."

"so......"

"I wonder if my drunkenness has caused you any trouble?"

"No! Really not!"

When Xie Jiabao thought of Zhou Hui's appearance yesterday, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

He never expected that the boy would fall down like this.

"Then why is there a bump on my head?"

Zhou Hui's eyes were clear yet doubtful, and it was obvious that he had not been hit hard.

Xie Jiabao recalled the way he fell down last night and couldn't help but said, "I said you fell down by yourself, do you believe me?"

Zhou Hui's gaze fell on him, meaning, do you think I am a fool?

Xie Jiabao: ?????

"Brother Zhou, didn't you say you wanted to go back to pick up your family? I'll go with you."

The reason why Xie Jiabao said this was just because he wanted to see how Zhou was doing when he returned home.

"Come with me? Sure!"

Zhou Hui agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Xie Jiabao looked at him, and if his eyes were not too naive, he would have almost thought that this scholar was deceiving him.

On the way back, Zhou Hui looked at the horse in front of him and his face turned black.

Xie Jiabao chuckled and said embarrassedly: "Scholar, I'm sorry! I forgot that you can't ride a horse."

"Come! Big Head, pull an ox cart for the scholar."

Xie Jiabao got off his horse and called a big man to pull an ox cart over.

Zhou Hui looked at the ox cart, then at Xie Jiabao, and said, "You drive the cart!"

"What the hell? Scholar, you can't even drive a car?"

Xie Jiabao was stunned. It turned out that this scholar couldn't even drive a car.

Zhou Hui straightened his clothes, sat on the ox cart, and said seriously: "I am a scholar, how can I drive a cart? I used to walk to the college."

Xie Jiabao was shocked again. He said incredulously, "Don't tell me you came from Shanghe Village."

Zhou Hui nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He said, "That's right! I left before dawn and arrived at night. When I was hungry at noon, I ate some dry biscuits and water."

Xie Jiabao swallowed his saliva, patted Zhou Hui and said, "Scholar, you are awesome! I recognize you as my brother."

This is a ruthless guy who actually came directly from Shanghe Village.

"Ha! Let's go!"

Zhou Hui flicked the leaves off his clothes and waved to Xie Jiabao to leave.

Xie Jiabao was not angry. He asked with a smile about Zhou's return home.

"When I was very young, I fled to Shanghe Village with my parents. It happened to be a disaster year, and the whole land was in chaos."

"My father used the money to buy a house and land and settled down. Since I was a child, my mother told me to study hard."

"I have a good temper and have good relationships with the wealthy families in Shanshui County. I often go to their places to read books."

"My grades in the academy are pretty good. I'm considered one of the best!"

"I am the only poor person among the group with good grades."

At this point, Zhou Hui smiled sarcastically.

In his previous life, he had no idea that his article had been stolen.

When he wanted to seek justice, his sister was wronged.

"Sometimes having talent but not having the ability to match it can also affect your family."

In fact, Zhou Hui knew why Shen Jian stole his article.

This is also because of the imperial court's system of selecting talents. As long as you can write good articles, you will have more chances of entering officialdom.

Such a system makes some families train poor scholars so that they can serve as gunmen for their own children.

"He Lanxin asked me if I could write an article. I said I couldn't."

"An answer like this might fool He Lanxin, but not Shen Jian."

It should be said that Shen Jian had already set his sights on Zhou Hui and wanted him to be his gunman.

In her previous life, He Lanxin stole the article just to help Shen Jian do what he wanted most.

However, Zhou Hui was not a man who could tolerate humiliation, and he exposed the fact that Shen Jian had plagiarized the text.

Even though most people know that he didn't do it, as long as it's not exposed, everyone will acquiesce to this behavior.

Zhou Hui wanted justice, which made Shen Jian very embarrassed and made others feel incredible.

When everyone is breaking the rules, the person who follows the rules becomes an outlier and a loner.

Shen Jian has never been a good man. At He Lanxin's suggestion, he reached out to his sister.

Hearing this, Xie Jiabao knew what Zhou Hui meant.

If he couldn’t deceive Shen Jian, it meant that Zhou Hui had two choices.

One who becomes Shen Jian's gunman and the man behind him.

The other is the destruction of a family.

"I didn't expect that! Scholars also have such a hard time. I thought that you would be different after becoming scholars."

Xie Jiabao is a rough man and a warrior.

He is the most despised person in this world.

He thought that people like him were despised by others, so he had no choice but to become a bandit.

However, he did not expect that scholars would also be persecuted in this way.

"Scholar? What's the use of being a scholar? You still need to be rich and powerful. Thank you, Boss. To be honest, I came up the mountain for something."

Zhou Hui didn't want to go back to the days when he was at the mercy of others.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Jiabao tightened the rope and stopped the ox cart.

“I want to be the most powerful person in the world.”

Xie Jiabao's eyes widened and he looked at the young scholar in disbelief.

Pointing at him, he stammered, "You...you...you want to...rebel?"

"Well! Thank you, Boss. Don't you want to?"

Zhou Hui asked Xie Jiabao in return, he didn't believe that Xie Jiabao had no ideas.
