Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Gao Zhao left the Biyong!

He left victorious!

He single-handedly fought against the entire Biyong, and even cursed them as beasts!

The Biyong Cheng also understood the deeper meaning in his words, and immediately ordered that the poor students be taken away and interrogated separately. After a round of intimidation and persuasion, one of them finally could not withstand the psychological pressure and told the truth!

After the truth came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Gao Zhao even made sarcastic remarks, doing everything he could to be mean.

This made the students of Biyong extremely embarrassed and utterly lose face!

However, being scholars with deep cultivation, they even formed a group to see Gao Zhao off when he left, helping him with his luggage and escorting him all the way to the Biyong Gate, thoughtfully offering him a parting message: "You son of a bitch Gao Zhao! Get lost!"

Gao Zhao watched as Shi Qian and Gao Yi bent down to pick up their scattered luggage. Far from being angry, he displayed magnanimity, standing before the Biyong Gate, hands on his hips, laughing heartily.

"A bunch of idiots who can't distinguish right from wrong deserve to be used! Blindly following the crowd and abusing justice is the greatest injustice!"

The students were humiliated by him one after another, and they were indignant but helpless, as they were in the wrong!

Gao Zhao then launched into another tirade of insults, calling Gao Zhao a beast and a villain. Even when Qin Hui and Chen Dong tried to persuade him, it was to no avail.

Bi Yongzhi also rushed forward to advise him, only to be retorted with, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too!" This infuriated him!

Left with no other choice, they had to send all the students back and have the guards at the gate stop Gao Zhao from entering.

With no opponent, Gao Zhao calmed down, jumped onto the carriage smugly, and with a wave of his hand, Shi Qian drove off.

"Young Master..." Gao Yi, sitting on the carriage shaft, turned his head with a worried expression and said cautiously, "If the Grand Commandant finds out about the commotion today, he will probably blame you."

Gao Zhao glared at him sideways and sneered, "Are you trying to snitch on me again?"

"No, no!" Gao Yi waved his hands repeatedly, explaining with a bitter face, "This matter has blown up too much today, I don't need to say anything more, I'm afraid it won't be long before it reaches the Grand Commandant's ears."

Gao Zhao fell silent upon hearing this. Gao Qiu was a vulgar and capricious man. If he knew that he had offended so many people in Biyong, he would probably be furious and come looking for trouble!

Seeing this, Shi Qian's eyes darted around, and he smiled, "Young Master was slandered today, yet you were not afraid of the rumors, debating with the scholars and arguing your case with reason. You truly have the spirit of a hero! I believe that even if the Grand Commandant knew, he would be pleased and would certainly not blame you!"

After thinking about it, Gao Zhao realized that what he said made sense!

No matter how big the commotion gets or how many people you offend, the truth is on our side.

As the saying goes, one should follow the Way, not the ruler; one should follow righteousness, not the father. Today's actions fully demonstrate the spirit of Confucianism!

Even if this case goes all the way to the Emperor, we're still in the right!

Yes, if they turn their heads and glare at us, we're in the right, so what are we afraid of!

Gao Zhao felt relieved and looked at Shi Qian with admiration!

He turned his head and glanced at Gao Yi sideways, then couldn't help but snort coldly, "A petty person is always worried!"

Gao Yi looked resentful, hesitated to speak, and could only turn his head to glare angrily at Shi Qian, gritting his teeth, "You thief, you really have a wicked heart. In order to flatter the young master, you actually said such bewitching words!"

It's a pity that my loyalty was misplaced, all because of the slander of petty people!

Gao Zhao glanced back at the Biyong, which was gradually shrinking in his field of vision. He was filled with mixed feelings. He had lived here for several months. Although he hadn't learned anything, it was still a part of his life. Now that he was leaving, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Looking back on his struggle against the students today, he realized that he had acted impulsively after all.

If he were to choose the option that maximizes his own interests, he should first state the facts before demanding money from them, not only from those few impoverished students, but also from those who had previously received his assistance.

Under such extreme pressure, they will surely be filled with fear and panic. Then, by waving their hands and letting them go, a large amount of gratitude points can be collected.

But he didn't do that; he chose the most satisfying way to vent his anger!

Although he lost a lot of gratitude points for this action, Gao Zhao did not regret it. At least it felt good to vent like this!

Gratitude points are important, but the purpose of acquiring them is to make yourself happy. If you compromise yourself for the sake of gratitude points, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

How is he any different from Lin Chong, always looking back and forth, cowering and suppressing his own feelings?

Upon realizing this, Gao Zhao felt his mind clear and his mood pleasant!

He glanced at the two people on the carriage shaft, reached into his pocket, took out some money, tossed it aside, and laughed, "You two have worked hard to pick me up today, take this and share it."

Upon seeing this, Gao Yi's eyes lit up, his worry vanished, and he beamed with joy, repeatedly bowing and saying, "Thank you so much, young master! You are truly kind!"

Shi Qian also smiled broadly and thanked him.

Gao Zhao was in high spirits and laughed heartily. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone. Spending a little money can make the people around him happy. Why not do it!

This young master's level is just that high!

……

The carriage entered the palace general's mansion. Shi Qian and Gao Yi carried Gao Zhao's luggage and strode forward. Gao Zhao followed behind, looking around, thinking to himself that although the palace general's mansion was nice, it was ultimately not a place of freedom.

Should I also rent a room outside, like the one Fan Tong rented for Xiang Nu?

Of course, he also had some requirements for the house, since he was about to take up his post at the Imperial Palace, and the place where he lived certainly could not be too far from the capital.

But rent in the inner city is too expensive. Although I am generous, I am not a sucker. I will save money wherever I can!

So the best location is still in the outer city, but the area near the inner city... well... thinking about it, Gao Zhao suddenly realized that Lin Chong's place was quite suitable!

Look how messed this has gotten...

What a coincidence!

This is not for Zhang Yunniang and her sister; it's all for work, to better serve the emperor!

"This servant greets the young official!"

Gao Zhao was so excited about contributing to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty that he didn't even notice the person approaching from the opposite side.

She only came to her senses when she heard the greeting, and saw Li Qiaonu squatting down in front of her, bowing tremblingly, which was quite adorable.

"Greetings, young master!" Qian Bao'er, who was standing to the side, also bowed, then stood up and turned away, looking as if she didn't want to talk to him.

Gao Zhao looked Qian Bao'er up and down, feeling utterly bewildered. People say that a mountain range looks different from different angles, and each view offers a unique perspective.

Yours looks the same from both sides, so why are you turning it to the side?

He wasn't one to indulge in favoritism, so he immediately looked away and smiled at Li Qiaoniang, "Qiaoniang, why did you avoid me the last time we met?"

"I...no..." Li Qiaoniang's pretty face flushed under his gaze. Recalling the scene of picking pomegranates last time, she was even more embarrassed and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Qian Bao'er shouted, rushing over to stand in front of Li Qiaoniang, glaring angrily. "If you dare to bully me, I'll tell my wife."

"Who's bullying me!" Gao Zhao chuckled lightly, "Qiao Niang and I are in love, what's it to you!"

"Pah! You're talking nonsense!" Qian Bao'er was both ashamed and angry at his blatant lies. She turned her head and said, "Qiao Niang, quickly tell him that you don't like him!"

"Hmm? Qiaoniang, why aren't you saying anything? Hurry up and tell him!"

"Hurry up and tell him! Wait... why are you blushing... no, what do you mean?!"
