Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 594 Human Life
"Both parties are at fault. Your fault, Itakura, is that you are arrogant, thinking that the children of the shogunate are superior to the common people, but you don't know that water can carry a boat and capsize it. Without the support of the common people, the shogunate can do nothing. Empty airs." Huang Zongxi said earnestly.

"But sir..." Itakura muttered, wanting to argue.

"You don't need to say too much, you copy "The Analects of Confucius" five times as a punishment, and hand it over to me in ten days. You need to copy it carefully, and don't ask someone to copy it for you, otherwise you will be fined ten times more." Huang Zongxi said with a straight face.

"Yes, yes." Itakura said reassuringly.

"Inoue, you are also at fault, you shouldn't be so impulsive. We are scholars, unless it is the hatred of family and country, otherwise we should sit down and talk about everything calmly." Huang Zongxi said to Inoue again.

"Yes..." Inoue also said in awe, but he was more respectful.

"All of you go to the doctor of the academy to see your injuries and take good care of your wounds." Huang Zongxi said to the two of them, "Let's let you off this time, if you cause trouble in the school again, don't blame me for driving you out of the academy."

Huang Zongxi then asked the handymen to clean up the messy classroom. Looking around the overturned classroom, he always felt a little uneasy. I don't know what kind of troubles will be poked out in the future.

Huang Zongxi felt that his right eyelid was twitching, and felt even more uneasy in his heart.

"Damn thing, even a few untouchables would dare to offend him. If it wasn't in the school, his hands and feet would have been chopped off!" Itakura left the school with a few samurai children, and went to his doctor to see the injury.

"Itakura-kun, I think they dared to hit us because of the backing of the school, otherwise they wouldn't even dare to touch us with a single finger." Another samurai boy also said angrily.

"You said we can't cause trouble in the school, so why don't we do it in the school, and teach them a lesson in private?" Itakura seemed to have thought of something, and said to a few samurai children.

When the warrior boys said that, they patted their heads: "Yes, we can take revenge on them in private."

"I know that guy Inoue is the son of a tenant farmer, and he lives in a small mountain village twenty miles outside Edo City. His family has only one offspring. If something happens to him, see if their family will cry Die." One of the warrior boys said.

"But it is really necessary for us to teach them a lesson? If something goes wrong, what if the school asks us to be held accountable?" Itakura himself proposed to teach Inoue a lesson in private, but he was a little scared right away.

"Sir, I don't care about the affairs outside the school! And I know that Inoue and those servants secretly set up a Huaxia training club, and the people in it are extremely respectful of Chinese culture. What do you think will happen if the shogun finds out?" said a samurai boy .

"You are absolutely right, the shogunate will definitely be on our side!" Itakura said, "We will trouble him again when he comes home at dusk tonight!"

At dusk, the students of the Tokyo Academy will leave the school.Because the shogunate had strict control over Edo Castle, the Tokyo school did not occupy much land, let alone provide accommodation for students, so they could only travel between home and school every day.

"Mr. Inoue, can you go back alone?" Inoue's companion asked worriedly before parting.

"No problem, just a little pain." Inoue's face was tied with a bandage, which was wrapped for him by the doctor of the Kyushu Army in the Tokyo Academy. "See you tomorrow." Inoue's companion said goodbye to him.

Because Edo Castle is still relatively backward, the Kyushu Army has not even popularized street lights in its own city, so it will definitely not come to help the construction of Edo Castle free of charge.Inoue needs to get back home before it gets completely dark, otherwise if it is a cloudy night, he may be bumped at night.

Inoue changed out of the Hanfu of the Tokyo Academy and put on his own rough clothes. At this time, he did not look like a student who had read poetry and books, but a group of ordinary farmers.He glanced back at the outline of the school, and couldn't help but be grateful that the school gave him the opportunity to change the trajectory of his life.If it goes well, he hopes to go to the Central Plains after he has completed his studies, and then send his parents there.

Even though it was summer, this night was pitch black, and the stars all over the sky were blocked by dark clouds.

When Inoue left Edo Castle and walked on the road in the fields, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Who?!" Inoue looked around vigilantly, and found a few black figures appearing in the darkness, with scabbards in their hands.

The few black shadows didn't return to the well, so they rushed over and beat him up around the well!Probably because he was afraid that he would kill someone with the blade, so several black shadows that appeared used the scabbard as a weapon and slashed at Jing Shang's body fiercely!

"Ah! I know who you are... woo..." Inoue, who had not recovered from his wounds, was surrounded and beaten violently by several men armed with weapons. He had no ability to resist and could only be beaten passively.

"Do you know who we are? Who can prove that we did it? Brothers, beat him up!" Itakura led several samurai boys and beat Inoue viciously to the ground.

There was the sound of the scabbard hitting the flesh in the darkness, and Itakura felt a little strenuous after beating for a long time. It turns out that just beating people consumes energy.

"Itakura-kun, why hasn't he moved?" A samurai boy suddenly noticed that Inoue was not moving.

"Is this guy pretending to be dead and trying to deceive us?" Itakura, who was venting his anger, only noticed after hearing what his companion said.

He squatted down, breathed Tan Jingshang's breath, his whole body trembled slightly, and a chill rose from his back: "He...he seems to have been really beaten to death by us..."

"This... I didn't kill this..." One of the timid warrior boys was so frightened that the scabbard in his hand fell off.

"Let's go! Before anyone sees, no one knows we did it!" said another accomplice.

"But we don't have any proof of our alibi. If we are questioned, we will be suspected..."

"Everyone, don't panic!" Itakura, who was in a cold sweat, stopped the panicked crowd, "The most urgent thing is to get out of here, find a wine house, and let the wine house make a confession with us. We have been drinking in the wine house tonight, you know? ?!"

Everyone looked at each other and said, "Understood!"

The guilt-ridden Itakura and others hurriedly threw Inoue's body to the side of the road, and then left quickly with the scabbard, for fear that anyone would encounter it.

In the early morning of the next day, Inoue's body was discovered by tenant farmers who came to the farmland, which alarmed the troops of Tokyo Academy and Edo Castle, and Inoue was still holding the jade pendant torn from Itakura's clothes in his hand.
