Zhao Hongwei was so angry that he was shaking all over. Did this bastard want to kill everyone in their family
He kicked the man to the ground with anger in his eyes: "Shut up and apologize immediately."
Before Zhao Hongjie could speak, Su Yu said coldly: "You don't need to apologize. I can't afford your family's apology."
The scholars present looked at Zhao Hongjie with angry eyes: "Don't you know your own strength? How dare you say bad things about the prince?"
"That's right. You didn't learn your skills well, but now you're complaining about everything. How can someone like you be an official in the future? You've really brought shame to the Zhao family."
Everyone was talking and pointing fingers at Zhao Hongjie.
Examinations have always been like this. Now the standards for the imperial examinations have changed. What we want to select are people with real talents and knowledge, rather than those who are self-righteous.
He himself has no real talent or knowledge, and cannot serve the people, yet he dares to criticize the prince. Who gave him the courage
"Prince Zhao Hongjie should be beaten with thirty sticks for being disrespectful to you." Yuanbao said at this time.
Zhao Hongjie was just a weak scholar. If he had been given thirty strokes of the cane, he would have probably lost half his life.

"Okay, let's do as you say." Su Yu nodded to show that she understood.
Zhao Hongwei frowned and looked at Su Yu: "Your Majesty, my brother is a scholar and has a reputation. This time, it was an unintentional mistake. Please let him go this time. I will definitely discipline him in the future."
The old prime minister originally thought that Zhao Hongwei should be quite good, but now this guy is actually just so-so.
"Zhao Hongwei, you must not forget that your brother insulted the prince of the current dynasty. He actually dared to insult the prince so casually. Being beaten is already the lightest punishment. If you want to see other punishments, it is not impossible." The old prime minister said indifferently at the side.
This sentence made Zhao Hongwei's attention fall on the old prime minister.
"You don't have to look at me like that. Your brother's words about the prince dying out there sooner or later were not unintentional. You don't want your child to be beaten, but it's better to teach a person like this a lesson. What do you think?"
The old Prime Minister's words made Zhao Hongwei look very ugly. Zhao Hongjie looked at the old Prime Minister angrily and said, "If you dare to say another word, I will kill you, you old fool."
At this time, Zhao Hongjie still didn't realize what he had done wrong.
At this time, he was still insulting the old prime minister, which made Su Yu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help laughing.
Pointing at Zhao Hongjie, who had murderous intent towards the old Prime Minister, Su Yu asked with a half-smile, "Is this what you call an unintentional mistake?"

"If you talk about children, people of his age who got married early should have several children by now." Su Yu said calmly as she sorted out her clothes.
The old Prime Minister looked at Zhao Hongjie and shook his head in disappointment. It was a good thing that such a person could not become an official, otherwise the people would have a hard time living in the future.
"Top Scholar, here are your banknotes. I have brought them to you. Please keep them well." The old Prime Minister handed over four hundred thousand taels of silver to Wang Jingyu.
Then he looked at Zhao Hongjie and said, "You were the one who started this trouble. If that's the case, then you should know what it means to accept defeat."
He had seen everything that happened at that time and knew what was going on.
If Zhao Hongjie hadn't been so aggressive, Wang Jingyu wouldn't have done such a thing.
Zhao Hongjie looked at the banknotes in Wang Jingyu's hand and struggled to grab them: "Those are mine, give them back to me."
That was two hundred thousand taels of silver, and he was unwilling to just give it to someone else.
Yuanbao and the others stood in front of Wang Jingyu, blocking everyone's view.
"You have to accept the defeat. So many people have witnessed it, but do you want to take the money, Zhao Hongwei? I am curious about who will be willing to do business with your family in the future if you don't keep your promise." A man on the side said.

Zhao Hongwei had originally thought that he could get back as much as possible, but when he heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
Especially the person who was speaking happened to be someone who had some cooperation with their family. If what he said was true today, their business would not be able to continue.
"How could that be? He is right. Since we have lost, we have to admit it naturally." Zhao Hongwei showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
He also wanted to get the money back but he knew it was impossible.
First of all, if he takes back what so many people have seen, he will be considered a person who does not keep his promise and is untrustworthy.
It doesn’t matter to ordinary people, but it’s different for others, because those people have cooperation with their family.
The most taboo thing for a businessman is to break his promise.
Wang Jingyu couldn't help laughing when he heard these insincere words: "I see. I thought you guys had some objections to this bet and wanted to get the money back."
Su Yu supported her chin and looked at Wang Jingyu. This brother-in-law was a heartbreaking person who would hold grudges.
"But it's no use going back. It was Zhao Hongjie who came to cause trouble for me. It was he who said he wanted to compete with me. It's such a pity that he lost like this." Wang Jingyu said with regret.

He knew exactly what the other person cared about and just stabbed him in the back. If it wasn't for the wrong place, Su Yu would have wanted to applaud Wang Jingyu.
"Jingyu, you told us before that everyone who sees it will get a share." Luo Su looked at Wang Jingyu and said as if adding fuel to the fire.
Wang Jingyu nodded helplessly: "Okay."
Each of his good friends gave 10,000 taels, each of the friends he had known gave 5,000 taels, and the rest of the people present gave 100 taels each, leaving Wang Jingyu with more than 20,000 taels in the end.
The Zhao Hongwei brothers just stood by and watched others use their money to do favors, and they felt really uncomfortable being appreciated by so many people.
Not only does it hurt my heart, but it also hurts my body.
"Wang Jingyu..." Zhao Hongjie looked at Wang Jingyu with resentment, this bastard.
He actually dared to distribute the money like this in front of them.
Wang Jingyu turned around and looked at Zhao Hongjie innocently and asked curiously: "Why are you looking at me like that? Can't I arrange the money?"
"Zhao Hongjie, you're not still thinking about taking the money back, are you? Your family is too stingy."

"Jingyu didn't want to gamble with you before. He and Luosu were all ready to go back. It was you who stood in front of them and refused to let them go. Isn't it a bit too embarrassing to make such a fuss now?"
The people beside him nodded in agreement.
If it was Wang Jingyu who proposed it, Zhao Hongjie would feel that Wang Jingyu was bullying them. The bet was proposed by him and had nothing to do with Jingyu. Who could he blame for the loss now
