Tang Dynasty Little Godfather

Chapter 68 Just Do It

Stay away from the entertainment industry! Stay away from the entertainment industry! Stay away from the entertainment industry!
The important thing is said three times.

This is the experience summarized by countless successors.

That's a profound truth!
Once you get involved with the entertainment industry, you're bound to encounter endless trouble.

This has been true throughout history.

Since Hongxiu joined Wuming Academy, public opinion has been rapidly fermenting, gradually turning from private discussions among the people into public debates, and from the common people to the imperial court.

The key point is that these statements are contradictory, which leads to controversy, and the controversy in turn causes public opinion to continue to ferment.

This ultimately created a media storm!
This left many people involved somewhat bewildered.

Most people expected controversy, but given the reputation of Wuming Academy, hiring a courtesan didn't seem like a big deal. However, no one anticipated that the controversy would be so great.

However, the nameless academy remained unmoved, with teachers and students diligently rehearsing, as if isolated from the outside world.

However, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease.

Many of them hope that this matter will escalate as much as possible.

Since you're ignoring us, we'll come here to get an explanation.

The fact that the unnamed colleges are turning a blind eye makes it seem like they are just amusing themselves.

This morning.

"Down with the Nameless Academy!"

"Down with the Nameless Academy!"

"Give my academy back its tranquility."

"Give my academy back its tranquility."

"Down with the nameless old thief!"

"Down with the nameless old thief!"

"Give me back my teacher's dignity."

"Give me back my teacher's dignity."

A group of scholars, holding up various slogans, walked towards the nameless academy while raising their arms and shouting.

In the corner of the college, four heads stood upright inside the wall.

"These people are from the academic faction, and it was Wu Chongwen who spearheaded them."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "They are using the banner of upholding the dignity of academy teachers to resolutely oppose allowing courtesans to become teachers."

Wang Xi nodded, then looked to the west, where he saw another group of people approaching, also raising slogans and shouting.

"Everyone knows how to protect the beautiful women."

"Everyone knows how to protect the beautiful women."

"Protect the nameless college."

"Protect the nameless college."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "Most of these people support Hongxiu, and they're supporting us as well."

Wang Xi said, "Love me, love my dog?"

“You could say that,” Huangfu Sengnian said.

Wang Xi scratched his brow and said, "It sounds a bit sad."

As she spoke, Wang Shuang suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Look, look, another group of people is coming."

The group looked up again and saw that the group opposite them was holding up a flag to save Hongxiu and shouting slogans for Wuming Academy to release the people.

Li Jieman looked at the group of people and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "You've really caused me a lot of trouble."

It turns out that this group of people were also supporters of Hongxiu, but they were all conspiracy theorists. They believed that Li Qiao forced Hongxiu to come to Wuming Academy, and that they came to rescue Hongxiu.

Before long, three groups of people gathered in front of the nameless academy, creating an extremely imposing scene.

The three groups of people first shouted slogans at each other, creating a tense atmosphere.

The leader of the overthrowing faction was Yang Zhan. He stepped forward and said to the people opposite him, "You are also scholars. You should know how to respect your teachers. Now, courtesans are acting as role models for teachers, making merry in such a sacred place as the academy. The morals and music have collapsed. Don't you feel ashamed?"

A person immediately stepped forward from the opposite side, "Your Excellency is mistaken. In terms of talent, Hongxiu is no less than any man, and she is more than capable of teaching those纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy families who are spoiled and dissolute) inside."

As for the collapse of ritual and music, well, perhaps your teacher was also a guest of honor at Qingxin Pavilion.

Upon hearing this, the people behind him couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That makes no sense."

Yang Zhan roared, "How dare you insult my master!"

The man retorted, "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine."

At this moment, a person from the middle faction stepped forward and said, "Please do not be angry, everyone. Listen to what I have to say. As far as I know, Hongxiu was forced here by the Prince of Sipu to be entertained by those纨绔子弟 (sons of wealthy families) inside. We should work together to rescue Hongxiu."

“Don’t talk nonsense. I went to Pingkangfang to inquire, and Hongxiu knows that she came here voluntarily, not because she was forced by anyone.”

"Don't even think about me associating with such people."

Just as they were arguing, a group of spoiled brats suddenly emerged, shouting, "Make way, make way!" Wang Shuang, inside the wall, immediately said, "It's the Li family's brat."

"Oh, so they were the ones who spied on you while you were changing last time?"

"Ah."

"He truly is a handsome man!" Wang Xi nodded.

Then Yang Zhan questioned, "What are you doing here?"

A chubby-faced boy said, "We came here to study, what are you doing here?"

"Seeking education? I think you're here for that slut."

"What are you doing? Bah! I'm studying, what's it to you? I think you just want to fight."

"Give me, let me!"

Then a few more young people dressed like scholars squeezed into the crowd.

"What are you doing here?"

"We're here to apply for teaching positions."

"What a bunch of snakes and rats! What teacher and student? You're all here for that slut."

Wang Xi watched with great excitement, chuckling, "It's getting more and more chaotic."

Suddenly, a sneaky voice came from behind, "Brother Sparrow."

Wang Xi turned around and saw that Cui Gu'er and the others had all picked up wooden sticks. He asked, "Are you all ready?"

A group of boys nodded excitedly.

"Wait a moment."

Wang Xi jumped down from the ladder, grabbed a handful of dirt from the corner of the wall, and quietly climbed back up. Looking at the pot of porridge outside, he smirked, "You cowards, all you do is talk nonsense. It's really frustrating to watch. Just do it."

He and Huangfu Sengnian exchanged glances, then threw out a handful of dirt, and all four heads shrank back at the same time.

All that could be heard outside was angry shouts: "Who threw that mud?"

"This is outrageous! How dare you lay a hand on me!"

"Damn it, I came here to study, and I'm going to get beaten up too?"

"Brothers, give it your all!"

They were all young people, full of vigor and vitality. In an instant, all that could be heard outside was a constant clattering and clanging sound.

Wang Xi and his men, armed with sticks, arrived at the door. Wang Xi said, "We've been watching for a while now. If you don't like someone, beat them to a pulp when we go outside."

The group of boys nodded in unison, very excited.

They've been working really hard rehearsing lately, and they need to relax.

Wang Xi tilted his head and said, "Linghu Mengde, let's see if your acting skills have improved. Get him!"

Linghu Baodi nodded, and as soon as Li Jieman opened the door, she rushed out first, shouting, "Who's making such a racket here? Ouch! Who hit me?"

He covered his face and fell down, but the problem was, no one looked at him.

"Baodi!"

Hearing a concerned shout, Cui Gu'er, Xue Jun, and the others rushed out again.

"This is outrageous! You've gone too far! Not only did you trespass on our academy, but you also beat up our Baodi. Brothers, get her! Avenge Baodi!"

Then several more men came out in single file, carrying sticks, and started hitting anyone they saw.

At this moment, only the four senior brothers remained in the courtyard.

Wang Xi tossed a stick to Huangfu Sengnian and chuckled.

Huangfu Sengnian threw the wooden stick aside and then took out a wooden stick wrapped with thorns from behind him.

Wang Xi immediately gasped in shock. There was always someone better, and there was always someone stronger.

Wang Shuang asked excitedly, "When are we going to go?"

"No hurries."

Wang Xi said, "Let's wait until they've fought enough before we go in."

Huangfu Sengnian said, "Brother Shuang, you clear the way for me later. I was kicked a few times by Yang Zhan last time, and I must get revenge. It's just a pity that Wu Chongwen is not here."

Wang Shuang nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

Wang Xi shrugged and said, "In that case, let's chase after the students of the Imperial Academy and beat them up."

“That’s excellent!” Li Jieman chuckled.

After a moment, Wang Xi turned his head and saw that Cui Gu'er and the others had also been punched and kicked, so he said, "Go."

The four senior brothers immediately rushed out, kicking the four men to the ground with a single blow, and then went straight for Yang Zhan. Wherever their clubs struck, screams of agony rang out.

The four of them had just left when Hongxiu and several servants rushed over, but the scene before her made her lose all will to mediate the fight.

With hundreds of people fighting, what could a weak woman like her do?
