Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

"Qin Feng!!!"

Upstairs in the restaurant.

Qin Feng's lips twitched as he watched Wang Dengke charge forward with a group of fierce-looking servants.

The top contender for the imperial examination had a powerful background in the capital; he was said to be a grandson of the Grand Tutor.

He was also the first student of the Nanlin Party to be harmed after Qin Feng arrived in the capital.

This kid spent over a hundred taels of silver on fake review questions.

"I've finally caught you!"

Wang Dengke clenched his fists and roared through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for this guy, he wouldn't have been able to participate in the imperial examination, and he would have spent three whole days in a brothel, eventually collapsing in the outhouse.

When I woke up, the imperial examination was already over.

When I got back, my grandfather whipped me for three more days.

"Brother Wang, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Under the Emperor's nose, do you know what crime it is to publicly insult the top scholar?"

Qin Feng glanced back at the window.

They discovered that, without them noticing, the old eunuch had already escorted Zhou Zhengde away.

That's right!

Wang Dengke was, after all, the grandson of the Grand Tutor, and his associates were all officials in the capital, and he had probably even been to the palace, so it was impossible for him to be recognized.

"Bah! If I hadn't missed the provincial examination, would you have been the top scholar? You would have been..."

"Um?"

Qin Feng instantly grasped the key point.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

These are all incriminating materials, and I must write down all the evidence that I might use in the future.

"Whatever you want, get to it!"

Wang Dengke suddenly waved his hand.

The servants following behind rushed forward, carrying sticks.

"Bang!"

The leader had just rushed up and brought his stick down hard.

just.

Suddenly, a burly man appeared before them.

Niu Wu gripped the stick with one hand.

"Pooh!"

He spat a mouthful of phlegm all over the other person's face.

He grabbed the person by the neck, lifted them up, and shook them with practiced ease, causing the loose silver coins to jingle and fall to the ground.

"Carrying so little money? You have the nerve to go out like that?"

"Not even worth as much as a donkey!"

Niu Wu glanced down, slapped the man unconscious, and then lunged at the others with his burly frame.

"Don't kill him."

Qin Feng rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his wrists vigorously.

As a family of bandits, with generations of ancestors engaged in rebellion, their martial arts skills were naturally not lacking.

after all.

The original owner had to go out with the villagers to rob and fight when he was seven or eight years old, so he learned by watching.

Moreover, bandits are different from soldiers; they value efficiency.

The main goal is to make someone instantly lose the ability to resist.

Qin Feng stretched his limbs, picked up a stool from the ground, and rushed towards Wang Dengke.

"You dare!!!"

Wang Dengke's mind went completely blank at that moment.

Seeing Qin Feng rushing towards him, he instinctively ran backward.

"A gentleman uses words, not fists. How could a scholar... I am the grandson of the Grand Tutor, how dare you..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Qin Feng, holding the stool, smashed the guy to the ground with a whooshing sound.

They lifted the person up by their hair.

After dealing with the remaining servants, Niu Wu immediately rushed up and began to grope Wang Dengke's body with his large hands.

They didn't miss any of the key areas.

"Young master, the total is forty-five taels of silver, one jade pendant, and two rings, estimated to be around one hundred taels."

Liu Tu quickly gathered up the "goods" piled on the ground and assessed their value.

When robbing, everyone has a different role.

His main job was to collect and appraise the seized items, determine their value, and identify any counterfeit goods.

"Young Master Wang, everything should be done reasonably. You barged into the restaurant for no reason and damaged so much stuff. Don't you think you should pay for it?"

Should those who arbitrarily insult the current top scorer be compensated for damages to their reputation and emotional distress?

Qin Feng squatted on the ground.

His smile was warm and gentle, like sunshine, but in Wang Dengke's eyes, it was extremely eerie.

Wang Dengke glanced at the servant lying on the ground and couldn't help but tremble.

The servants who used to follow him were all skilled fighters.

How come they couldn't even last a single round against Qin Feng and his group?

"This young master..."

"It seems that Young Master Wang's understanding of his mistake is not deep enough."

Qin Feng pursed his lips and glanced at Niu Wu.

The other party understood immediately.

He grabbed the leg of a servant to the side and casually tossed him out the window.

"Aaaaaaah! My legs!!!"

Screams came from outside.

"Gulp!"

Wang Dengke swallowed hard, and his eyes immediately became much clearer.

"See, Young Master Wang is still quite reasonable."

Qin Feng patted the other person's cheek.

His smile gradually faded.

whisper:

"After tomorrow's court assembly, I will be the official, and what will you be?"

"Don't be so reckless next time, or else..."

"I'll kill you!"

Wang Dengke's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression turned terrified. He could tell that Qin Feng was definitely not joking when he said that.

……

Outside the restaurant.

Inside a carriage parked across the street.

Zhou Zhengde looked at the servant lying on the ground screaming in agony, and at Qin Feng who left the restaurant unharmed.

He smiled and nodded.

If you can't even handle a spoiled brat, there's no point in being a knife.

"Notify the Jingzhao Prefecture government to arrest him and detain him for a few days!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

Grandpa Miao hurriedly accepted the order.

I really didn't expect that.

Qin Zhuangyuan wasn't lying; he really did have some strength. The imperial guards were nearby, and they would rush in immediately if a fight broke out inside.

result……

There wasn't even any fighting noise coming from upstairs in the restaurant. Apart from the servant who accidentally fell from the second floor, the imagined brawl didn't happen.

"Having assaulted the Grand Tutor's grandson, the Nanlin Party will undoubtedly do everything in their power to prevent Qin Feng from entering the Hanlin Academy at tomorrow's court assembly. Besides the Hanlin Academy, what official position do you think would be suitable for him?"

Upon hearing this...

Grandpa Miao looked terrified.

"Your Majesty, if Scholar Qin were to take up the sword, his position would likely be..."

"Um!"

Zhou Zhengde pinched the bridge of his nose, lost in thought about the matter.

No matter what position he assigns to Qin Feng.

The Nanlin Party will definitely try to stop it.

Entering the Hanlin Academy was almost impossible.

Even if he insists on making the arrangements, there will be many obstacles after Qin Feng takes office, since almost every department in the capital has officials from the Nanlin Party.

unless……

Thinking about this...

Zhou Zhengde opened his eyes, stared at the old eunuch massaging his legs opposite him, and slowly said:

"I heard you bought a house in the western part of the capital?"

"This servant..."

Grandpa Miao was taken aback, then quickly knelt inside the carriage, racking his brains.

Where does he own a house in Xifang?

That place is inhabited by poor people, and they buy houses in the east ward, so how could it be the west ward?

"Qin Feng had just arrived in the capital and had no place to stay."

"Your Majesty, I have saved up some silver and have indeed bought a small house in the West Ward. If Scholar Qin does not mind, you may stay here temporarily."

Upon hearing this...

Grandpa Miao suddenly realized and hurriedly replied in a trembling voice.

but!

If we take over his house, Qin Zhuangyuan will become a member of the eunuch faction.

Official position?

Garrison?

Is the Emperor going to send the top scholar to the garrison?
