Zhang Shou, who was well versed in the art of borrowing positions, was very confident that even if Lu Wan turned around, his action of seemingly wiping Zhu Ying's tears would not reveal any flaws. He did not put down his hand until the person completely disappeared outside the door, and then smiled apologetically at Zhu Ying who was standing there, "No one can tell how much of Lu Shangshu's words are true and how much are false, I think it would be better to scare him."
Zhu Ying was so ashamed and angry, especially when she saw Ge Yong, Chu Ying and Qi Jingshan were all smiling, she was even more furious: "A Shou! If you want to scare people, why did you have to say that I cried!"
"It's because in his impression, you're not the kind of person who would cry when angry. He would be shocked if you said you cried, right? He's a delicate and thoughtful person. If you scare him, he won't be able to sleep or eat well for several days. After all, we can't do anything to him now."
Zhang Shou laughed as if teasing a child, and then said innocently, "Who told you not to believe me? Why do you suddenly rush out to question him? If you don't scare him, what if he goes back and burns his boats and joins forces with those who have grudges against your father to launch a general attack?"
"I..." Zhu Ying was speechless. After a while, she had to lower her head, "I didn't know you had met him yesterday and asked him. Isn't it enough for me to apologize to you..."
"Of course not! You were so majestic and arrogant when you came to question me just now. Even Lu Wan, the Minister of War, was shocked by you, not to mention me. If I am wrong, it is because I did not explain things clearly to you first. Blame me. How can I ask you to apologize to me?"
“I…” Zhu Ying was choked by Zhang Shou’s first four words and turned pale. When she heard the last part, even though she was generous, she couldn’t help blushing and had to shout, “You’re playing tricks on me again!”
Seeing Zhu Ying showing her childish behavior, Ge Yong couldn't help but sigh, and then said to the two people on his left and right: "Look, Yingying, such a cunning and powerful girl, has surrendered to Zhang Shou!"
Chu Ying exchanged glances with Qi Jingshan.
Today, one of Zhang Huaili and Lu Wan was defeated by Zhang Shou directly, and the other was defeated by Zhang Shou indirectly. Moreover, Zhang Shou also received the support of both Wang Jie and Zhou Xun, and obtained great authority that a Doctor of the Imperial College would never have been able to obtain. Speaking of which, Ge Yong, the closed disciple with a good talent for mathematics, has good luck in love, and his luck in officialdom is also quite strong.
But at this moment, Zhang Shou had finished teasing Zhu Ying and came up to them with a smile on his face.
"Teacher, Mr. Chu, Mr. Qi, the emperor suddenly brought so many people here today, why didn't we see Chu Kuan, the chief clerk of the Imperial Academy who went to the Imperial College that day?"
As soon as these words came out, Ge Yong's face darkened. He took a step forward angrily and suddenly poked Zhang Shou's forehead with his fingers. Zhang Shou, who had already experienced this powerful move from his teacher, subconsciously slid forward, and Ge Yong's move immediately failed.
"You still dare to hide? You still have the nerve to ask Chu Kuan! You went to the outer court of the Imperial Household Department yesterday, and a bunch of idiots thought you were the second prince. You are simply causing trouble for no reason!"
"Do you know where the outer court of the Imperial Household Department is? That's where Taizu used to castrate people! The earliest eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department were all orphans from the northern barbarians and southern barbarians. They started brainwashing at the age of three or four, and were castrated at the age of five or six. The word brainwashing was also invented by Emperor Taizu... Anyway, generation after generation, they were all raised to be loyal and devoted. They would not hesitate to chop off their ancestors and parents even if they were standing in front of them!"
