Chapter 161 Patrol Guards
The chief of the water tribe was immediately happy, with a proud and cunning light flashing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised high. Then he asked in a slightly mocking and provocative tone: "Mr. Ding, what do you think?"
"I... I didn't do it." Ding Jianzhou still insisted, but no one present believed him.
In the end, Ding Jianzhou not only failed to keep his engagement with A-mei, but also failed to keep the youngest son, Ding Sheng.
Moreover, in public, she was forced to write a letter of withdrawal of engagement and a letter of guarantee to Lu Yu.
Chu Ci quietly looked at the group of young scholars. Their faces were filled with excitement and excitement, and they were cheering and rejoicing as if they had really achieved a glorious victory on the battlefield.
Seeing this scene, Chu Ci's mouth corners couldn't help but rise slightly.
But, how long can such a pure and warm innocent heart be maintained in this world where the affairs of the world are complicated and people's hearts are changeable?
I really hope that this rare sincerity can last forever.
At this moment, Shiwu interrupted Chu Ci's thoughts in a very unpleasant way and said, "Madam, do you want to take any further action regarding Ding Jianzhou's original wife's family?"
"Move." Chu Ci said without hesitation, "As long as you don't completely kill someone like Ding Jianzhou, he will always be like a venomous snake waiting for an opportunity to move."
This is indeed the case. The Shui family, the teacher, and Chu Ci have not left yet!
Fifteen had already heard Ding Jianzhou whispering his plan of revenge.
As a person of the lowest status and the weakest fighting power, Lu Yu was the first to be included in Ding Jianzhou's blacklist.
After hearing Shiwu's report, Chu Ci cursed himself in his heart, was he a crow's mouth? Why didn't the good things work, but the bad things worked so well?
"From now on, send people to protect Lu Yu and the Lu family." At this point, Chu Ci seemed a little unwilling, so he said, "Well, the Lu family just needs to make sure they don't die."
"Yes." Fifteen answered somewhat painfully, and then paused for a moment before saying, "Shouldn't I go and inform Lu Yu?"
Chu Ci was not the kind of person who would do good things without leaving a name behind. "Don't worry, I'll let Yuan Niang mention it briefly."
After hearing Chu Ci's words, Fifteen didn't say anything more.
But invisibly, his vigilance was raised to a new level. After all, since Ding Jianzhou could deal with Lu Yu, and Chu Ci's identity was not a secret, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not retaliate against Chu Ci.
In fact, Fifteen's guess was correct. After Ding Jianzhou finally calmed down and reviewed the game the next day, he really discovered Chu Ci, the "outsider."
It's a pity that his revenge plan has not yet begun.
The bailiffs had come to the door with iron chains to arrest the man. It turned out that Ding Jianzhou's first wife's brother was not dead at all, but was paralyzed from the head down.
However, even so, he was still carried by his clansmen to the county government to testify against Ding Jianzhou's crimes.
Even though Ding Jianzhou was a scholar, it was inevitable that he would pay for his crime with his life.
Other members of the Ding family were also responsible for the death of the original wife, but they were not the masterminds, and considering their advanced age, they were not sentenced to exile, but to twenty years in prison.
Twenty years! Given the physical condition of the three old men of the Ding family, it is likely that they will not be able to survive until the day they are released from prison.
However, they deserved it.
Chu Ci did not feel the slightest bit of guilt about this.
It was Lu Yu, for example. Without Ding Jianzhou's engagement, she just stayed quiet for a while. Her parents soon arranged another marriage for her.
Fortunately, due to Ding Jianzhou's outrageous actions, Lu's parents were frightened and found the son of a merchant for Lu Yu.
Moreover, this boy's parents are both dead, and he only has one sister, who is already married. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the Lu family's parents are planning.
Lu Yu naturally knew this too.
However, he did not do anything out of line, and only went back and forth between home and the "pre-marriage training" every day. Even the thank-you gift to Chu Ci was delivered by Yuanniang.
"Sister-in-law, doesn't this Lu fish seem a little too cool?" Qianyan gently opened the box that Yuanniang brought over and took out the coral bracelet inside.
Chu Ci could understand Lu Yu's thoughts. She just didn't want Lu's parents to have any ideas about her!
Besides, these are just some minor thoughts. In short, Lu Yu is a good person overall.
"It's just that everyone has their own difficulties. Lu Yu just doesn't want to add weight to himself because of us. After all, he is still too young."
Qian Yan heard this and said in disbelief: "Could the Lu family's parents really be so shameless?"
"There's nothing strange in this world." Chu Ci sighed.
Qianyan was about to ask again, but Chu Ci took out a plan that a student had just handed over and said, "Come, help me take a look at this."
Qian Yan took it and looked at it, "Is this the one that Qi Ya asked me to pass on last time?"
Chu Ci nodded and said, "I think Qiya's idea is very good."
"The current situation is that, instead of letting students explore on their own and potentially be cheated by some unscrupulous merchants, it is better for us to form a small chamber of commerce on our own."
"Besides, it's a waste for the land at the foot of the mountain to be left idle. We might as well build a commercial street there. This way, we can meet the daily needs of students, bring us some income, and better promote local business development and economic vitality. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Qianyan knew that Chuci had already made up his mind. "Indeed, this is a good idea. However, if this is the case, the number of people at the foot of the mountain will certainly be much more complicated and chaotic than before. Then the safety of the academy..."
"Then let's find some more guards?" Chu Ci sighed leisurely.
"But what about money?" Before Yun Shang came, Qian Yan would help Chu Ci sort out the accounts. The "Women's College" was already basically in a loss-making state. If it recruited more people, the loss would increase even more.
Although Chu Ci never took money seriously, Qian Yan was always worried about it.
"Don't worry, there's enough money." Chu Ci almost patted his chest.
At this point, although Qianyan was worried, he didn't say anything more.
Chu Ci was relieved when he saw this, and then continued to talk about the patrol guards: "Patrol guards have a patrol range, which is limited to the foot of the mountain. This must be clearly stated."
"Before they take up their posts, let Sixteen... no, Ning Zhong, who Sixteen likes, go over and give them some training. We can also take this opportunity to see what Ning Zhong and his team are capable of."
