Chapter 25: These are really a bunch of fat goats, we have to pull them out slowly!

A stick was really demanding his life, the young man's skin peeled off, and the screams of agony continued!

Everyone was scared to death!

Unbelievably, Lion resorted to violence!

Moreover, he was extremely vicious!

He wasn't afraid of offending the high-ranking official, did he not want to live anymore?

Lion held a stick in his hand, turned around and said to the other child, "What about you, are you going to follow his example and demand 400 hits? Do you want money or do you want to die?"

These grandchildren of officials were all terrified.

They naturally don't want to choose death, but the problem was that they didn't have any money!

With a little money, they all just gave it to the Cao family!

Unbelievably, he also ran into trouble himself!

"Can we sign the ledger?" They hoped.

Lion waved his stick and laughed coldly, "What do you think?"

They silently took out their own money.

Finally, Lion took out 600,000 taels of silver from these children, feeling very happy: "What a bunch of fat sheep, can't even kill one with a stick, gotta pull them out slowly!"

Lion received and executed the school rules.

The execution wasn't as heavy as before, but it still made them suffer, moaning continuously.

"Don't cry! Do you know that hitting you hurts my heart?" Lion said, hitting them on one hand and feeling pain in his heart and mind on the other.

"So why do you still hit us?" The grandchildren of officials were both in pain and resigned.

"Because I like the feeling of a broken heart!" Lion said with satisfaction.

The grandchildren of officials: "Arrogant!"

They cursed in their hearts: Shameless!

From then on, they all obeyed the school rules and none of them dared to stand up.

They were all lying on the ground, their faces ashen.

Lion dropped his stick and said, "I hope you can remember this lesson today, repent and become a new person! Be on time for my class tomorrow, even if you have to crawl, you must come! Otherwise, I will punish you severely! Do you understand?"

"We understand!" The grandchildren of officials were powerless.

"In addition, inform me of any students who skip class! If they don't come tomorrow, I will make them regret why they were born!"

"Yes!" They replied.

At this moment, William and Ton's master both ran over anxiously.

Poor Lion...

What makes him think that way?

Anyone can commit suicide!

It's quite a disaster, on the first day of work, he is already faced with such a big problem!

He is even linked to Lion's death!

"Lion sir, do you also know their identities?"

"Of course I do!" Lion calmly replied: "This one is named Cao Thien Vu, the son of Cao Thien Dieu, who is a high-ranking official. This one is a . . ."

Lion introduced them one by one.

Finally, he said with great authority: "As a son of a court official, he should strive to learn and serve the court. But instead of obeying the law, he committed a crime, and openly defied the regulations of the National Academy. He deserves severe punishment! However, out of respect for his father's position, we will not expel him from the National Academy, and consider it as a mercy!"

"Lion sir, you are wrong about ten things. . ." William frowned.

Lion asked again: "William, they committed a mistake, and I punished them according to the regulations of the National Academy. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Well. . . That's not wrong!" William reluctantly said.

Lion asked again: "I am a teacher of National Academy, responsible for students' morality, discipline, and academic matters. I punished the students who made mistakes. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Well. . . That's not wrong either!" William said again.

"If there is nothing wrong, then why do you blame me?" Lion asked bluntly.

"Hey! I'm not arguing with you! I can only say that in this world, things that are logically correct may not always be the right choice. You're still too young!" William waved his sleeve and left: "I don't care about this matter. You have to bear all the consequences, and don't drag me into it!"

"Don't bother yourself, William! I'll take care of it!" Lion said loudly.

Looking at the opponent's leaving figure, his heart is filled with disdain.

"The older people get, the more cowardly they become!"

In the end, all of these officials' children were escorted out.

Meanwhile, Lion continued to work as if nothing had happened and happily returned home afterwards.

At dinner time, Ly Su Su smiled and asked, "My lord, today is your first day as an official. How does it feel? Can you talk to Su Su about it?"

"Of course!"Lion happily said, patting the thick stack of banknotes in his chest. "The National Academy is great, and the students are very enthusiastic. I feel like I'm at home here! I came to the right place!"

"That's good to hear. You can rest assured," Ly Su Su smiled.

After finishing their meal, she hesitated for a moment before finally mustering up the courage to speak. "My lord, there is something on my mind that I want to tell you. If I don't say it, I'll feel ashamed and uneasy..."

"What is it? Don't keep it bottled up inside, it can make you sick," Lion said as he ate.

"Yes, my lord!" Ly Su Su finally summoned the courage to speak.

"Sir, in fact, I chose to follow you not only because of your talent and knowledge but also to escape from the complicated relationship with Cao Thien Vu. As a lowly girl, I can only express myself through writing, please forgive me, sir!"

Lion looked up, surprised and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Ly Su Su lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, sir! I was afraid that you would blame me. But after being with you for a long time and seeing how kind you are to me, I feel ashamed for not telling you earlier. That's why I told you now..."

Lion put down his chopsticks and sighed, "If you had told me earlier, I would have taken action against him and made sure he paid for his actions. But now, we've missed a good opportunity."

Ly Su Su was even more stunned to hear this.

Wow!

He wanted to take action against Cao Thien Vu, the high-ranking official child, on the first day of his appointment. That's really bold!

She couldn't even imagine it!

"Sir, what do you mean? I didn't hear clearly..." Ly Su Su asked.

"Su Su, let me tell you. Today, when I was sworn in at the National Academy, I took the opportunity to fight against Cao Thien Vu and his followers," Lion explained.

Ly Su Su was even more shocked to hear this.

On the first day of his appointment, he dared to take action against Cao Thien Vu and his followers, including their leader, who was also his father.

That's really incredible!

"Sir, you fought against Cao Thien Vu and his followers, but what about his father?" Ly Su Su asked anxiously.

Lion paid no attention to her question and said, "Don't worry. Although they hold high positions, I am still the Empress in front of the people. What can they do to me? Besides, I always abide by the rules and principles in everything I do."

"Okay, sir, you're right," Ly Su Su nodded, feeling a little relieved.

"Let's continue eating. Don't let those petty things affect our mood," Lion picked up his chopsticks again.

"Miss, do you blame Su Su for hiding things from you?" Ly Su Su cautiously asked.

Lion smiled and said, "What's the big deal? When you chose to follow me, I knew you had other intentions! It turns out that you wanted to escape from the Cao family, and your actions can be fully explained. It doesn't affect me in any way, so why should I blame you?"

"Thank you for explaining, sir!" Ly Su Su sighed with relief, and a smile appeared on her face once again.

"Don't talk so much and eat quickly, the food will get cold!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ly Su Su ate while secretly stealing glances at Lion, her beautiful eyes slightly moist.

Easily getting what she wanted, she hardly ever saw anyone else in love!

In this era of male superiority and female inferiority, where marriage cannot be self-determined, it is difficult for any girl to find a perfect partner!

Especially for someone like her, from a noble background, it's even harder!

But in front of her, this young master completely met her requirements!

"If only you weren't such a good actor, sir!" She sighed inwardly.

Then, she quietly blamed herself for being too greedy!

Being able to find someone who understands her, cares for her, and accepts her is already a great blessing!

She doesn't want to ask for too much!

Just then, Zack rushed in frantically.

"Young master, it's not good! There are many officials outside who have surrounded our residence!"

Lion laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

Lion walked confidently towards the door and saw that his residence was indeed surrounded by officials. The leader was the imperial official, who he had met during the morning court session.

Besides that, there are still many enthusiastic viewers.

"Sir Cao, what about the other Sirs, what do they mean?" Lion asked in confusion.

Then Cao Thien Dieu, the Minister of the Imperial court, angrily said: "Lion, you are deceiving me! I ask you, did you hit my son?"

"Sir Cao, who did I make punishment . . ."

"Cao Thien Dieu!"

Finally, Lion realized: "It was him! He was so tall and ugly that he didn't look anything like you, Sir Cao. I didn't recognize him because of that!"

Cao Thien Dieu's face turned black. Wasn't this an insult to him?

He became even more furious and questioned loudly: "Lion, what did you use to beat my son?"

"That's right! You are just a small official. How dare you beat my son?"

"What did you use?"

. . .

Other officials also questioned angrily.

. . .

"What did you use?"

Lion raised his shirt sleeves, raised his head, and said loudly: "I am a National Academy supervisor, and they are National Academy students! They often come back late and cause trouble, and even after being punished, they continue to misbehave. It is my responsibility to punish them according to the National Academy's regulations! Sirs, am I wrong?"

Lion pointed his finger at the sky and spoke with great confidence: "Even if we cause a commotion in Empress Palace, I am still right!"

"You!! !" The officials were furious.

How dare he be so proud after beating their son? How could this happen?

"It seems that Mr Lion and I will never agree," Cao Thien Dieu said with a deep voice.

Lion smiled cunningly: "How can this be explained? I just followed the regulations and did my job, and I didn't want to disappoint the Emperor's kindness! Sirs, aren't you the same?"

Did any of the officials dare to deny that?

However, they usually had two-faced attitudes, opposing the Empress but appearing obedient on the surface!

It was not easy for anyone!

"Right, Sirs, tell your sons to come back on time tomorrow! Otherwise, I will have to follow the National Academy's regulations and expel them forever!"

"How dare you!! !" The officials were furious again.
