Daming: Internship also counts as work experience

Chapter 82 Answer
Dong Yuanyuan was obedient. She always remembered her sister's advice: "You can't hit me even if I don't make a move." Then she extended the sentence: "If I move, you can move."

Seeing Gao Yunduo's palm strike on the man's neck, Dong Yuanyuan covered the other man's face with her hand and slammed him into the earthen wall with wooden chips. Dong Yuanyuan's strength didn't push the man out of the wall directly, which was considered strong, but the wooden chips nailed to the wall happened to be at the perfect height...

These two people were rushing to the classroom ready for a big fight one second, and went to see the King of Hell the next second, without even having time to close their eyes. It was just that the one on the ground was lying down, so Dong Yuanyuan didn't see it.

Both of them acted very quickly, which is why the people outside didn't hear anything. The leader was used to hearing women begging and screaming, and when there was no movement for a long time, he would naturally become suspicious.

The second person who came in to investigate was killed by Gao Yunduo with a pair of scissors as soon as he stepped into the inner room. Dong Yuanyuan did not scream. After she pressed the man against the wall, she kept covering her mouth. She knew it was wrong to scream at this time. Yu Yan fainted after seeing Gao Yunduo kill the first person.

Dong Yuanyuan stood stiffly, looking at Gao Yunduo in horror. Gao Yunduo could only pretend to be calm and said to Dong Yuanyuan, "It's okay." Then she got on the bed and held Yu Yan in her arms. When Jia Chuan came in, she was about to pinch her Ren Zhong point.

"If these people had died sooner, I wonder how many more people would have been spared from being bullied. It's just a change of plan. It's nothing. I'm going to go talk to our prince about the Calabash Brothers. You guys find some water and light a fire to boil it. I'm a little thirsty."

As soon as Jia Chuan finished speaking, Shunzi trembled as he entered the room. He saw the figure on the wall and, without even thinking, his eyes rolled back and he was about to faint. Fortunately, Dong Yuanyuan was quick to hug him and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay. He just died on the wall, just like he died on the ground."

Jia Chuan stepped forward, patted Shunzi, and said, "You're already very strong for being able to enter the yard." Then he walked to the door and sat on the threshold. He first looked at the two people lying on the ground in the yard, then looked at Gao Yuntian and Qiao Wu who were struggling to repair the gate. He looked up and asked Chen Mo, "Are they all dead?"

"This leader is still breathing, and I'm afraid you have something to ask."

Jia Chuan nodded, rubbed his face, looked at Zhu Zhanqi who was still lying on the ground, and asked, "What are you going to do with these bodies?"

Zhu Zhanqi was already terrified. Who were these people being dealt with? They were people in the palace. They were servants in the palace, but outside the palace, they thought they were the boss. If these people died in his yard, could his father change his mind?
"You, you, you, who are you?"

"I'm the only one who can help you with this little thing of yours."

Chen Mo frowned: "Isn't your name Qin Ming?"

Jia Chuan ignored Chen Mo. He found a short twig near the door, wiped it, and held it in his mouth. He continued, "Your father doesn't want you anymore, and you still think he'll change his mind out of pity for you. Don't you think about how you'll stand the chance if you let these servants bully you like this? Besides, who's the smartest person in the palace? The servants are the smartest. They know which way the wind is blowing. They dare to do this because they know you can't go back no matter what."

Zhu Zhanqi's throbbing heart beat even faster. He even felt that if he hadn't kept his mouth tightly shut, his heart would have jumped out.

The leader on the ground, still breathing, gave a kind reminder: "Do you know the consequences of offending the palace?"

Jia Chuan shrugged and said, "You're asking the wrong person. You should ask your prince. He dared to kill the emperor, but has he ever thought about the consequences?"

After hearing this, Zhu Zhanqi felt his heartbeat ease and then stopped. He took a deep breath before continuing. Then he asked tremblingly, "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Mo said coldly: "Literally!"

Zhu Zhanqi's face suddenly glowed with a different kind of brilliance. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he actually sat up and asked excitedly, "And then?"

The leader squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Emperor can't do anything to the prince!"

Jia Chuan looked at Zhu Zhanqi and asked, "What does he do in the palace?"

Zhu Zhanqi snorted coldly and said, "Just a lowly servant."

"Even the lowest-ranking household slaves dare to make such outrageous remarks? Is there freedom of speech in the palace?" Jia Chuan asked in disbelief.

Zhu Zhanqi brushed the dirt off his tattered robe and replied with a hint of disdain, "How could the people above them be willing to dirty their hands? This is what fostered these people's arrogance."

Jia Chuan said "Oh" and asked the leader, "You said I killed you all, and the palace has no one alive and no body found. How can I stand up for you?"

The leader's wrist was broken, his cheek bone was shattered, and he was kicked twice by Chen Mo. He didn't know how many ribs were broken. He was lying on the ground, curled up in pain. He also witnessed his accomplice being beaten to death by a tall man with an iron ruler. He was almost dead. His previous response was also a subconscious reaction. A few words of scaring were still effective.

But after Jia Chuan asked this question, he seemed to understand everything and quickly begged, "Master Lei, please spare my life. I will do whatever you ask me to do. I, I can help Master Lei find a good job in Le'an, a good job that can make money."

Jia Chuan looked at Zhu Zhanqi and asked, "Even he has such rights in Le'an?"

Zhu Zhanqi tried to raise his head, but somehow a muscle in his body shifted, and he uttered an "ouch!", shrinking his head as he said, "Even the bedbugs in the palace have to be avoided by others when they go out."

"So you can't let go of your status as a prince and are reluctant to go to Fengyang."

"I thought my father was just talking and that it wouldn't be long before..."

"When you informed him in the capital last year, did you ever think that he would use you as a scapegoat?"

Zhu Zhanqi was shocked because not many people knew about this matter.

"Of course, he didn't expect that you would go to Emperor Taizong to complain."

Zhu Zhanqi was startled again, and in panic he couldn't help but ask again: "Who are you?"

"Call me Jin Yong. Why do you think I know your story so well, and why did I come here specifically to help you kill these people?"

The leader started begging again when he heard it, and Jia Chuan said impatiently: "I didn't keep you here until now just to listen to you whine. If you want to live longer, just lie down."

The leader immediately stopped talking.

Zhu Zhanqi looked at Jia Chuan carefully, and after confirming that he didn't know him, he asked, "Are you... sent by the Emperor?"

"What are you sending them for?"

"To alienate me from my father..."

"Do you two use it?"

"you……"

Jia Chuan stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "The King of Han won't be around for long. As for you, if you say there's someone else in the palace who's doing this, it's understandable..." Jia Chuan took a deep breath before lying, then continued, "Maybe you're the only one."

Zhu Zhanqi's eyes immediately lit up.

"I have a grudge against the King of Han, and I've learned that he once ambush and killed the Emperor on his way back to the capital for mourning. I suspect the Emperor will soon attack him. How can I hand over the opportunity to kill my enemy? Naturally, I must find him and settle the score before the Emperor takes action!"

Zhu Zhanqi had no doubts. There were many people who had grudges against the King of Han. He didn't have time to ask Jia Chuan's rank. He blurted out, "What do you need me to do?"

Jia Chuan shuddered subconsciously. Is it so smooth?
Originally thought that it would take a few meals to achieve the goal, so killing a few people would make it happen?
Jia Chuan did not dare to take it lightly. He resisted the urge to look at Zhu Zhanqi and said calmly, "You have already done it. There is no need for anything else."

"I, what did I do?"

"If they die here, the Prince of Han's Palace will definitely send people to look for you, and you will inevitably suffer physical pain. So, I've decided that we should wait here and kill them one by one until your father arrives. Then I can kill our enemies with my own hands!"

Not to mention Zhu Zhanqi, even Chen Mo couldn't help but snort in disdain, but then he thought that Jia Chuan was not so stupid, so he rubbed his nose embarrassedly.

By this time, Gao Yuntian and Qiao Wu had finished repairing the gate. After they had packed up, they came over. Jia Chuan said, "Carry the body from the house to the courtyard, then go to the backyard and dig a deep pit and bury it."

The leader on the ground couldn't help but tremble all over, but he started trembling too early. When he saw four bloody corpses placed side by side beside him, he couldn't even find a better way to express his fear. He could only tremble more frequently, but every trembling made him break out in cold sweats due to the pain, but he just wouldn't faint.

Zhu Zhanqi's reaction was beyond Jia Chuan's expectations. He seemed to be getting more and more excited.

"Don't think my father will come in person. He won't do anything for these servants. But after dusk tonight, someone will definitely come looking for you. You can kill them again."

"If your father doesn't come, what's the point of me killing so many? Is there enough room in your backyard to bury them?"

"If you don't kill me, what should I do?"

"Let's pack up and go to Fengyang now."

"Were you sent by my father?"

Jia Chuan's face darkened and he looked at Zhu Zhanqi: "He doesn't deserve it! I told you I have a grudge against him."

"Then why do you let me go?"

"Is there any use for you to stay?" Jia Chuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

The leader quickly responded, "I'm useful!"

He seemed to have thought of a way to survive, ignoring the pain in his body, and hurriedly said, "I know what illegal activities the King of Han has engaged in. He has connections with those who work in the grain transport. The late emperor previously said he wanted to move the capital back to Nanjing, and these people felt that if he returned to Nanjing, the grain transport would lose a lot of income, and the business they had just started would be greatly reduced... So they went to the King of Han, and he promised them that if he could obtain the throne, he would definitely not move the capital."

"How could you, someone who has to read people's faces when walking around the outer courtyard, know such confidential information?" Jia Chuan asked in confusion. "Yes, the King of Han hosted a banquet for them. They drank too much, and we waited at the gate of the palace to see them off. I heard them talking when they got into the carriage."

Zhu Zhanqi said hurriedly, "That's useless. I know he has a manor outside the city where he keeps many young girls. After a few years, they're either given to my father for his own enjoyment or given to officials in the capital. They say they're beautiful concubines, but in fact they're used to gather information and find fault with officials. I was the one who contacted the people in the manor before, and later..."

The leader quickly interjected, "Yes, but no one can even get close to this manor. You've only been in contact with it. Have you ever been to the manor? And it has to be a blacksmith shop in the city. The whole street belongs to the royal palace, and there are several blacksmith shops, forging weapons every day."

Zhu Zhanqi was anxious: "What's the point of saying this? They only have a few people, how can they take over the entire street?"

"What's the use of the manor? Can these few people break in? Others don't know, but even if you've never been to the manor, you should know what kind of skills the people deployed there have..."

"Nonsense! Of course I know. Do you know who's guarding that iron shop? Their skills are no worse than those of the people in the village!"

"You want to compare yourself to me? You know shit! The blacksmiths in those ironwork shops were all captured. How many of them are willing to work? There are only a few people patrolling every day and preventing these blacksmiths from escaping at night. They are much weaker than the people in the village."

Zhu Zhanqi stood up angrily, tugged at Jia Chuan and said:

"Don't listen to him. He wants you to die. Think about it, even if you can take over the entire street, what will happen next? We're in the city, how are you going to get out? Besides, what's the point of cleaning up the blacksmith shop? Are you still occupying the place? As soon as you leave, they'll leave right after you, and you won't even see the shadow of my father! But Zhuangzi is different. That's what my father has been planning for years. If you can make a move, my father will definitely send his trusted guards to lead the troops to help. If you can keep them here, my father will definitely come in person, and then you will have a chance to get revenge!"

The students' enthusiasm for speaking made Jia Chuan feel a little uncomfortable for a moment. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people who were vying to speak. Before he could fully digest their words, Chen Mo suddenly kicked Zhu Zhanqi to the ground.

Gao Yuntian and Qiao Wu went to the backyard to dig a hole. Chen Mo did not dare to leave because he was afraid that Zhu Zhanqi would suddenly use force to attack Jia Chuan. Jia Chuan only had the foundation of radio gymnastics. Chen Mo felt that any person who could move would have a life-threatening impact on Jia Chuan. What's more, Zhu Zhanqi just pulled Jia Chuan. If this action was just a test, then the next time he would most likely kidnap Jia Chuan and use it as a threat. As for what the threat was, Chen Mo had no time to think about it.

But Zhu Zhanqi was talking about the crucial point, and Chen Mo waited until he finished speaking before lifting his leg.

"If you dare to...what's your name?" Chen Mo asked angrily, then looked at Zhu Zhanqi and said, "If you dare to touch him again, you really won't have to go to Fengyang!"

Zhu Zhanqi screamed in pain after being kicked by Chen Mo, which made the leader very happy. He was so excited that he wanted to mock him, but he had too many wounds on his body and it hurt everywhere when he moved. His original grin turned into a groan.

Jia Chuan had almost digested it by now. He felt that Zhang Zheng must know about these two places. Since he didn't tell him about it, perhaps he didn't have the power to handle it at the moment, and his work could not be carried out rashly for the time being.

Jia Chuan took a deep breath and imagined in his mind a group of soldiers rushing into the palace. Any room they opened might be full of evidence of crimes, but the prerequisite was that this group of people could enter the city and the palace.

The job of an emperor is not easy, especially for an emperor who has high expectations for himself. Zhu Zhanji had to deal with an uncle, while Zhu Yunwen had to deal with dozens of uncles, and he lost the throne because of just one of them.

Jia Chuan thought about it for a while, then walked over and kicked Zhu Zhanqi, asking: "If we leave, can you handle it later?"

Zhu Zhanqi ignored the pain and sat up, saying, "How can I respond? I'll just wait for them to beat me to death."

Jia Chuan bent down and frowned at Zhu Zhanqi and asked, "Who are you showing off to? If I leave here, no one will be able to find me."

"You can escape, but what about Qiao Wu? I know him!" Zhu Zhanqi roared in frustration, completely forgetting that there was a ferocious monster standing next to him.

"Why would I keep him?" Jia Chuan asked back.

"Then no one living nearby would survive! I only said you lived nearby..."

"So killing you is the safest thing." Jia Chuan straightened his back.

Chen Mo pretended to look for a handy tool in the yard. He picked up a wooden stick at the gate, pondered it in his hand, and then went straight to Zhu Zhanqi.

Zhu Zhanqi immediately became timid and knelt down to beg, "I just want you to take me with you. If I stay, I will die. I will really be useful if you take me with you."

Jia Chuan raised his hand to stop Chen Mo, who had approached, and asked Zhu Zhanqi, "Do you know everything this man knows?"

"Of course, he's just a servant..."

"No! Although I'm a servant, I've been working in the palace since the prince came to Le'an, but he's not. He used to live in Nanjing, and was later settled in Beijing. He came back last year, but he also lives here. How could he know more than me?"

Zhu Zhanqi was furious and shouted, "Even if I'm in Beijing, I know everything that goes on in the palace!"

Jia Chuan scratched his head, looked at Chen Mo and said, "Bury the bodies first. If the palace really sends people to look for them, it will be troublesome. Bury these four first and leave one pit. We'll see who will use it later, Duoduo!"

Gao Yunduo appeared at the door in response.

"I'm afraid I can't remember it all, so please help me remember it." Jia Chuan turned to Gao Yunduo and said, "Now only one of you can survive. I can't take both of you with me. Whoever knows more about the goings-on in the palace and the evil deeds of the King of Han and can help me avenge him, I will keep him. Each of you can tell one story, and only after the other has finished can you speak. Do you understand?"

Zhu Zhanqi and the leader looked at each other, and it was obvious that the leader was full of fighting spirit.

At this time, Dong Yuanyuan came out supporting Shunzi.

Jia Chuan frowned and said, "He's grown up, don't treat him like a child. The three of them in the backyard are a little slow, so you two go over and help, dig a hole and bury him as soon as possible."

Dong Yuanyuan said weakly, "I haven't boiled water for big brother yet."

Jia Chuan said, "It's okay. I asked you to boil water so that you can have something to do."

Dong Yuanyuan said "Oh", lowered her head but did not let go of Shunzi's hand. Shunzi also lowered his head and said nothing. The two of them walked slowly towards the backyard.

When Jia Chuan saw this, they were both irritated. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Shunzi, and whispered, "You've seen a lot of things. Huang Luling...how can you still be so useless? Do you know why they killed those people?"

Shunzi's face was pale and he shook his head with lifeless eyes.

"There were only three women in the room, and two grown men rushed in so hastily. Why do you think they did that? And from their conversation, it's clear that this isn't the first or second time they've done this. I don't know how many poor girls have been abused by them..."

Shunzi's eyes immediately radiated anger. He grabbed Jia Chuan's wrist and asked, "You mean..."

"Right! Do you think they would be so kind as to let two women into the yard to take care of someone they don't care about at all? They planned to... kill Duoduo and Yuanyuan after they were done."

Shunzi took a deep breath. Dong Yuanyuan didn't quite understand the first part of Jia Chuan's sentence, but she understood every word of the second half. She said angrily, "I really should have slapped him a few more times!"

Seeing that the two men had regained some energy, Jia Chuan waved his hand and said, "Go and help them. These people have at least several lives on their hands. Take off their clothes. If they are useful, as well as their weapons and sticks, leave them. Also, see if there are any items that symbolize the palace. Leave those too."

The two nodded at the same time and quickened their pace towards the backyard.

"Is that woman... okay?" Jia Chuan walked back and asked Gao Yunduo.

Gao Yunduo said: "She just woke up. I tried to persuade her, but she said she was tired and lay down. I don't know if she fell asleep or not."

Jia Chuan looked at Zhu Zhanqi and sneered, "Are you a scoundrel? You bully those who treat you well, and you flatter those who treat you badly, even if you get beaten up. If I were you, I wouldn't need anyone to persuade me, I would just end my own life."

Zhu Zhanqi snorted and said, "I am..."

"Shut up! When you're getting beaten, why don't you tell them who you are? Stop talking nonsense, who's going first?"

"I, I'll go first!" The leader said without waiting for Zhu Zhanqi to retort, "The Prince of Han seized the fertile land and drove away many farmers. These people had no choice but to flee elsewhere. The government also cooperated, and the land deeds were quickly obtained. After that, these fields became the property of the Prince of Han."

"You know it very well. When the land was occupied, many people went there. You were one of them, right?"

The leader said nothing.

"It's your turn." Jia Chuan looked at Zhu Zhanqi.

Zhu Zhanqi said without hesitation: "When he was in Nanjing, the prince's palace had a private prison. He set up a private prison and killed innocent people indiscriminately. I think it is the same in the Prince of Le'an's palace."

The leader added, "The village head once sent people to abduct a woman and beat to death her family and the villagers who came to help. I remember more than a dozen people died. I thought this might be a big deal, but to my surprise, there was no movement at all."

Yes, Jia Chuan knew that many such cases had no follow-up, and even the victims could never be found. He had read a lot of case files in those days, but apart from being furious, he had gained nothing. Zhang Zheng had also advised him: "In the face of imperial power, the law is meaningless. Since ancient times, vassal kings have often overstepped their bounds in their fiefdoms. Perhaps this is why successive emperors have sought to abolish vassal states. Once accustomed to lawlessness, they truly believe that they... are the gods."

While Jia Chuan was still pondering this, Zhu Zhanqi spoke excitedly again: "He secretly hid weapons, privately raised assassins, and trained his guards using military law. These are all evidence of treason. I told my grandfather about this back then..."

"What's the point of telling me something that even your grandfather couldn't handle?"

The leader said hurriedly: "The King of Han once ordered people to kill merchants and travelers because they robbed the Han Palace of their business. The Han Palace has a lot of business. The King of Han dares to deal in salt and tea, not to mention other things..."

The two of them talked back and forth for a while, and Jia Chuan's mind became more and more confused. He looked up at the sky. The sun had already set and could no longer be seen in the courtyard. Only the corner of the sky was dyed red by the afterglow.
