Chapter 504: 253 Abusing Scum_5

From start to finish, Grand Tutor Zhuang was utterly audacious.

After all, it was Marquis Xuanping who eventually let Secretary Li go and stepped out of the Imperial Palace.

Gazing at his defective, retreating figure, Grand Tutor Zhuang gave a cold sneer.

He knew this would happen as he was always wary of Marquis Xuanping. Did Marquis Xuanping truly believe that what he had seen was Xiao Liulang’s exam paper? The handwriting was identical, indeed, even the content was largely identical. Only a few key points had been altered.

The reckless Marquis Xuanping couldn’t see through his trick.

Don’t underestimate these small details; they were enough to enrage the Emperor.

So, what’s the use of being in the top twenty rankings?

Xiao Liulang probably wouldn’t even rank as the second-grade scholar!

Smugly, Grand Tutor Zhuang exited the Imperial Palace.

His carriage was waiting by the Palace Gate. Seeing him approach, his servant quickly drew the curtain for him. He was in a good mood and climbed happily into the carriage.

But he never expected that someone would already be in the carriage!

Grand Tutor Zhuang was startled,”Marquis Xuanping?!”

What on earth was his coachman doing? How could he allow Marquis Xuanping to get in?

“Guards!” He shouted angrily.

Marquis Xuanping nonchalantly said, “Go.”

The carriage started moving.

Grand Tutor Zhuang’s face turned pale. He hastily pulled back the curtain and glanced at the coachman on the front seat, only to realize that it wasn’t his coachman.

Where was his coachman?

What had happened to him?

His carriage had been stationary at the Palace Gate, which is guarded by the imperial guards. How did Marquis Xuanping manage to switch his coachman?

Grand Tutor Zhuang angrily glared back at him, “Marquis Xuanping, what on earth are you trying to do?”

Marquis Xuanping scoffed, “Return Xiao Liulang’s exam paper, or else, your horse will be scared, and I can’t assure you’ll land safely, especially since you have no martial arts skills, right?”

Grand Tutor Zhuang was taken aback, “You…”

Marquis Xuanping chuckled, “Curious how I found out? I may not understand your exam papers, but I understand you, Grand Tutor Zhuang.”

Grand Tutor Zhuang turned bluer with rage. Marquis Xuanping’s arrogance and recklessness often led people to think he was a mere rash fool. Look at what he was doing now!

Grand Tutor Zhuang gritted his teeth, “How dare you!”

Marquis Xuanping: “Same to you.”

Grand Tutor Zhuang sneered, “Do you…do you think you can threaten me like this?”

Marquis Xuanping shrugged, “Not at all, just a suggestion. Since you didn’t take it, then I have another gift for you.”

A sense of dread welled up in Grand Tutor Zhuang’s heart.

Soon, the carriage came to a halt on an empty official road. There were no people around, except a carriage across from them.

Grand Tutor Zhuang lifted the curtain. On the other carriage, someone also lifted the curtain, revealing Prince Jing, who was bound in ropes with his mouth gagged.

Prince Jing looked at Grand Tutor Zhuang with wide, panicked eyes, but unable to articulate a single sentence due to the cloth stuffed in his mouth.

Marquis Xuanping’s audacity and recklessness nearly made Grand Tutor Zhuang’s jaw drop.

They had left the palace almost simultaneously. Marquis Xuanping didn’t have time to detain anyone after checking the exam papers, which means, he had concluded that Grand Tutor Zhuang would tamper with Xiao Liulang’s paper even before the check and had detained Prince Jing in advance!

“Do you know what you’re doing? This is blackmailing a court minister, you’ve kidnapped the Prince of Zhan Country!”

Marquis Xuanping leaned back lazily in his seat, looking at him calmly, “So?”

His gaze was fearless.

As arrogant as a wild horse that is ready to trample everything.

In reality, Grand Tutor Zhuang didn’t hold the moral high ground either. Both were punishable by beheading, the question was who could hold on till the end.

Grand Tutor Zhuang clenched his fist tightly, glaring furiously at Marquis Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping couldn’t care any less and reminded indifferently, “I’m short of patience. I’ll tell you one last time, return the papers.”

Grand Tutor Zhuang never admitted of tampering with the paper, but this didn’t stop Marquis Xuanping from threatening him. He felt like a man of letters who had met a soldier – verbal reasoning wasn’t very effective.

If it were a literary person, he could still entangle him with verbose rhetoric.

However, Marquis Xuanping wouldn’t give such an opportunity.

He didn’t give the slightest chance for any roundabout argument.

Grand Tutor Zhuang felt deeply helpless, but he wasn’t ready to admit defeat so soon, “Marquis Xuanping, don’t be too arrogant!”

Marquis Xuanping looked at Grand Tutor Zhuang and raised his finger nonchalantly.

In the other carriage, Chang Jing pulled out a dagger and plunged it into Prince Jing’s thigh without hesitation.

Blood spewed out, Prince Jing gritted his teeth, yet a shriek escaped from his tightly clamped jaw.

Grand Tutor Zhuang’s face changed instantly, “Hengheng!”

Marquis Xuanping leaned lazily against the carriage wall, raised his eyebrows, and said, “Remember, this is what’s called being arrogant.”

Grand Tutor Zhuang was trembling with anger, “Don’t you fear causing a casualty? If my grandson dies, do you think you won’t have to pay with your life?”

Marquis Xuanping smiled coldly, “You think I’d be afraid?”

Grand Tutor Zhuang was stunned.
