Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 70: Prison Break
"What does Chen Pingping mean?"

Fan Jian was puzzled. Since he already knew the emperor's thoughts, he would have been fine with just a little trouble. But he chose to personally take action to disobey the emperor's will. He didn't really think that the emperor would listen to him.

Lin Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps Dean Chen has other arrangements."

Fan Jian calmed down and said without comment: "Your Majesty has given him enough face by not embarrassing him in the court."

"As for what he thinks, humph."

The two did not talk anymore. Fan Jian went back to the palace. Lin Ruo did not go to the Hanlin Academy and stayed in the small courtyard.

Ruoruo finished her studies these days and did not go to the private school anymore. Instead, she stayed in the small study room, and Lin Ruo would give her lessons from time to time.

That night in the backyard of the Fan Mansion, a dark shadow climbed up the wall, stared at the corner, and confirmed that there were no piles of earthenware jars. Then he jumped down from the wall lightly, dusted off the dust on his body, and came silently towards the small courtyard.

Lin Ruo stood quietly at the door and bumped into the person who came.

"Sir, you found me again." Wang Qinian wiped the sweat off his forehead, chuckled, and said puzzledly, "I didn't step on the clay pot, how come you still found me?"

"A few days ago, I heard about the great things that you did in the Hanlin Academy. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that you are really a martial arts master." Wang Qinian confirmed his guess and said with some disbelief.

The lord is pale and weak, but he has great talent and knowledge, and he doesn't look like a warrior at all, so how did he train to keep his delicate skin intact?

Wang Qinian sees himself as a rough man's body, and there is no harm without comparison.

"Sir, can you teach me some secret techniques?" Wang Qinian rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

"Okay, but you have to pay." Lin Ruo replied.

"Wang's relationship with you..."

"It's quite ordinary." Lin Ruo didn't give Wang Qinian a chance to perform.

"Just owe it to me, sir."

Lin Ruo nodded: "Okay, to be honest, I have never practiced martial arts, I have only read books. Lord Wang can pick a book to read, maybe it will have miraculous effects."

"Mr. Wang reads books every day..." Wang Qinian complained.

"Is there something?" Lin Ruo finally couldn't stand the nonsense anymore.

Wang Qinian said sternly, "The dean asked me to tell you that he was sorry that the case was not properly resolved."

Lin Ruo bent his knees, sat on the threshold of the courtyard, and asked, "Did your dean do this on purpose?"

"Why do you say that?" Wang Qinian sat down. "The dean almost angered His Majesty. If His Majesty doesn't show mercy, he can't bite back."

"He could have avoided angering His Majesty. He did it on purpose," Lin Ruo said angrily.

It was because of Chen Pingping's remarks that Emperor Qing made up his mind to execute Aliang.

How could Emperor Qing allow his most trusted minister to help a newly crowned number one scholar? This was tantamount to forming a clique for personal gain. Chen Pingping's actions did not give Emperor Qing any face at all.

According to the two men's deployment, this should not be done.

What on earth does Chen Pingping want to do, even at the cost of angering Emperor Qing and harming himself? Lin Ruo has many questions he wants to ask, but he knows that it is meaningless to ask Wang Qinian.

So the question turned to: "Has President Chen been held accountable by His Majesty?"

Wang Qinian answered frankly: "The dean is fine."

"How could Emperor Qing be so tolerant?" Lin Ruo was in a heavy mood, wondering if this case was a play performed by Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing together.

"Sir, you can't address His Majesty like that, it's disrespectful." Wang Qinian shuddered, wondering how could the lord be so bold. No wonder the dean was afraid of accidents and asked him to explain some things.

"What does the dean want to explain?"

Wang Qinian repeated, "The case is closed. The dean told you not to do anything stupid."

Lin Ruo chuckled disdainfully: "Are you kidding? Would I do something stupid for an unrelated death row inmate? The dean doesn't think that Lin is going to rob the execution ground, does he?"

Wang Qinian laughed so hard that he couldn't stop, and shook his head repeatedly: "Wang believes that you won't do that. You are the top scorer of this year's exam, and you have a bright future. How could you go..."

Suddenly, an exquisite knife fell at his feet. Wang Qinian picked it up suspiciously, his eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Sir, this knife..."

"Don't be nervous. Just keep it in your boots for self-defense." Lin Ruo explained.

Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "It's normal to protect yourself. After all, people are treacherous."

"But I don't want to use this small knife now. I need a long knife." Lin Ruo muttered as he thought.

Wang Qinian panicked: "Sir, what does this mean?"

"Don't worry. It's not for robbing the execution ground, it's also for self-defense." Lin Ruo explained again.

"You also know that Teng Zijing is only a fourth-rank official. When faced with a major event, he is even more useless than me."

Wang Qinian heaved a sigh of relief again: "That's right, why did Lord Fan arrange such a personal guard for you?"

"If you have anything to do tomorrow, come with me."

"Ah." Wang Qinian was completely frightened and used his lightness skills to fly up the eaves and onto the wall.

"Sir, I am busy tomorrow. I will not go to jailbreak. I have a wife and children to support at home."

Lin Ruo looked at the figure who fled in panic and left the Fan Mansion, a little stunned: "Who said we were going to jailbreak? I'm just taking Ruo Ruo out for a walk tomorrow. I thought you were familiar with the route..."

"never mind."

……

Wang Qinian ran back to the Supervisory Office without stopping, almost suffocating and gasping for breath.

"Dean, something is wrong. I think you have that idea."

"Is it worth it for a stranger?"

"Really? What did he tell you?" Chen Pingping's face was calm. Wang Qinian was anxious: "Anyway, all kinds of hints, no, it should be explicit."

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "He was just trying to scare you."

Shadow pushed the wheelchair and glared at Wang Qinian with disdain: "You are so grown up, and you used to be the dean's right-hand man, but you do things like this. You can't even beat a child."

"Really?" Wang Qinian thought calmly, it seemed like this, "It's all my fault. I was too concerned and confused."

"It's not that I care about you, it's that you are too afraid of death." Shadow revealed it without hesitation.

Wang Qinian felt very embarrassed and complained in his heart that Lord Shadow talked too much today.

On the way to the secret room, Shadow said in confusion: "Why did the dean play tricks on that boy?"

Chen Pingping shook his head and said, "I didn't play a trick on him. It's just that the plan has not been completed yet."

"Your Majesty hasn't summoned me yet?"

Chen Pingping nodded and said approvingly, "That's right, this matter requires your majesty's consent, otherwise it cannot be done."

Shadow asked in confusion, "Will His Majesty agree?"

"His Majesty will agree. He knows what kind of person Lin Ruo is. For example, given Lin Ruo's personality, there's no guarantee that he would really go to the execution ground to save someone."

Chen Pingping smiled bitterly, not knowing how to describe this kind of person. After thinking for a long time, he said, "He is just like the young lady. He likes to defend the weak. Sometimes I often ask myself, I feel like these two people are from the same world."

……

Late at night, the moon and stars are rare.

Lin Ruo, wearing an exquisite nightgown, ran in the dark, climbing walls and flying over rooftops, passing by buildings one after another with quick steps.

The bluestone street was extremely dark, with a faint moonlight shining down, reflecting figures that came and went without a trace.

Although the capital of Qing Kingdom is prosperous, the only places with lights at night are the night market boats. Normally, the alleys are pitch black and it is rare to see anyone passing through.

Lin Ruo moved at an extremely fast speed and landed on the top floor of an elegant pavilion, gazing at the Ministry of Justice prison five miles away.

"The lights are bright, there are too many yamen runners, and the prison is located inside, which is not convenient for walking through. It is completely unsuitable for prison break."

"Besides, I am only at the seventh rank at the moment, and I still lack strength. I can't use the Grand Master Experience Card."

Lin Ruo thought about it for a long time and gave up the idea. The Grandmaster Experience Card was a life-saving item of last resort, and it would be a waste to use it here.

There are still ten days before the execution, so don't be in a hurry. Robbing the Ministry of Justice from prison is the most stupid thing to do, and robbing the execution ground is even more inappropriate, as it will attract too much attention in public.

They could kidnap people while they are traveling. The Ministry of Justice would not expect that anyone would save an ordinary farm girl, so there would not be too many guards.

In ten days, see if you can max out Ruoruo's admiration value, and then get an upgrade card to enter the ninth level. Then saving people will be easy.

As for Chen Pingping, what exactly he is planning is still a mystery. We can wait and see what Chen Pingping does. Maybe the case will be reversed in ten days.

Having made all the plans in his mind, Lin Ruo set out to return to Fan's house. He had no intention of taking action tonight, so all preparations had to be foolproof.

After jumping into the courtyard of Fan Mansion, Lin Ruo quickly returned to his room. Suddenly, he froze.

Fan Ruoruo rubbed her hazy eyes, stood at the door, and asked sleepily, "Where are you going, sir?"

Seeing the gentleman's attire, Fan Ruoruo was surprised and said, "Sir, my brother said that people who wear this kind of clothes and go out in the middle of the night are going to do bad things."

"Sir, you are going to save people. Do you remember what we said last time?" Lin Ruo put his hand to his mouth and said softly.

Ruoruo whispered, "Sir, you are talking about that innocent person."

"That's right." Lin Ruo nodded.

"Did the gentleman save anyone?"

Lin Ruo said with a bitter face: "No, I almost lost my life. I'll go next time."

Fan Ruoruo's face was in a panic, and she almost cried out of worry: "Sir, Ruoruo is scared."

"It's okay, sir, you still have to accompany Ruoruo to grow up. She won't die anyway. Ruoruo can't tell this secret to anyone."

"Well, Ruoruo won't let anything happen to Mr.

Lin Ruo comforted her for a long time before sending her back to her room and coaxing her to sleep.

Returning to his room, Lin Ruo immediately changed back into his normal clothes and stared at the transparent system panel.

【Character: Fan Ruoruo】

[Progress of worship value acquisition: 90% (the full amount is 100%, which has been completed and special rewards can be obtained)]

[Upgrade successfully, obtain various attribute upgrades]

[Intelligence: +3]

[Physical Strength: +3]

[Charm value: +3]

[Luck value: +3]

[Flexibility: +3]

Innocent little girls are easy to be deceived. If you deliberately expose yourself in front of him and publicize your great heroic deeds, your admiration value will rise rapidly and directly jump to 90%.

If I spend more time with Ruoruo in the future, she will be able to reach the ninth level soon, and I can ensure that saving people is foolproof.

Lin Ruo nodded with satisfaction. He was promoted to the ninth rank. In such a big capital, who could stop him except that old fellow Emperor Qing?
