C135 What a Pity (1/2)

Zhuang Ming was startled, then laughed: ”Just now, I was so attracted by this poem that I did not have the time to look at it. The two of you should take a look with me to see who wrote this poem. But no matter who, with the talent that he has displayed, I feel that the head of my Dafeng City belongs to none other than him. ”

Nightcloud and Peng Ye nodded at the same time.

Many scholars were proud of their talent, but in the face of this poem, they could not afford to be arrogant.

Although they were previously bribed by Zhu Family to ensure Zhu Xiaozhang's entry into the top three, Zhu Xiaozhang was already dead.

Not so important anymore.

Deep in their hearts, they were also willing to give their focus to this examinee who had written down a 'demonstration'.

Because he was completely convinced.

Zhuang Ming raised his paper.

The two of them stared at the paper with bright eyes.

They couldn't wait to see the person who wrote this poem.

However, at the top of the paper, the two words ”Lee Bai” caught his eye.

The three were stunned.

”It's actually Lee Bai?!”

Nightcloud and Peng Ye's faces became unsettled.

They were bribed by Zhu Family to help Zhu Xiaozhang get into the top three.

However, Zhu Xiaozhang had died, and the Patriarch of Zhu Family, Zhu Hucheng, as well as the other core members, had all died.

The money that Zhu Family had promised was naturally for naught.

They had always kept the culprit, Lee Bai, in their hearts, and thought that he was the one who had ruined their good fortune.

However, they never thought that the poem that they had praised without restraint just now, was written by Lee Bai.

Zhuang Ming's face also turned ugly.

He was a clean and honest Prefect and had not been bribed.

However, the murder case that happened in the Dafeng City last night was too severe.

Although he had characterized it as a ”struggle between the forces of the martial arts world”, he had no intention of interfering.

However, the influence it had on this Prefect was also great.

After all, this was his territory.

He knew, the one who killed was Lee Bai.

But he never expected that Lee Bai, was actually the person who wrote the poem?

”What do you think?”

Zhuang Ming once again put down the paper. He still cherished this ”indication”, but because the person who wrote it was Lee Bai, his emotions became complicated.

Peng Ye did not express his hatred for Lee Bai on his face, but said with regret, ”Master, I feel that it's a pity.”

”What a pity!”

Zhuang Ming was surprised.

”That's right.”

Peng Ye cupped her fist towards Zhuang Ming and said: ”This Lee Bai is a man of both martial arts and literature. If something like this had not happened, he would definitely have been able to take the case and head to the capital to participate in the Martial Arts Competition. It might be possible to marry a princess. Unfortunately, he has offended someone he should not have offended. ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Ming said in surprise: ”Dean Peng, are you saying that the people you should not have offended are the people from the Great Zhu Family of the capital?”

Peng Ye nodded and said, ”That's right. My lord. It was the Great Zhu Family of the capital. Now, the capital's Zhu Family is deeply trusted by the emperor. Patriarch Zhu Yuantian is one of the few King of Different Family Name of our Xia Country, and he holds great authority in military matters. ”

”The Duke has always protected his weakness. If he knew that the Dafeng City were destroyed by Lee Bai, he would definitely take revenge.”

”It would be good if this Lee Bai did not go to the capital, but if he did, he would definitely die. Therefore, this subordinate felt that it was a pity. No matter how good the answer is, he has no hope of marrying the princess. ”

Listening to Peng Ye's words, Zhuang Ming nodded his head, expressing his agreement.

However, Zhuang Ming was still somewhat unresigned in his heart. He then asked Yunping, ”Principal, do you have any thoughts?”

Yun Ping cupped his fist at Zhuang Ming and said, ”Master, this subordinate feels that Dean Peng is right. This Lee Bai might not live much longer. Since that's the case, let's not start a fire. ”

Zhuang Ming was stunned, ”Principal, Lee Bai offending the Zhu Family has nothing to do with us. And why would it start a fire? ”
