260: Kill someone with one punch
The superiors of the Hanlin Academy couldn't help but appreciate him, and because of his relationship with the Ninth Prince, they put him in a high position.
But if a person stands out, he will definitely arouse the jealousy of others.
The Hanlin Academy is the stepping stone for becoming an important minister in the cabinet. There are many officials, so there are struggles.
People like Chu Huan who came from official families were called aristocrats.
Those whose lintels have declined or whose ancestors were farmers are called poor families.
These poor sects previously studied in local private schools, were praised by others, and were the only successful descendants in the family. Naturally, they were aloof and arrogant.
But after entering the capital and working as errands in the imperial city, their arrogance was trampled to pieces.
After all, in the huge capital of Kyoto, there are countless princes and relatives, who have long been familiar with each other and take care of each other. Children like them from a poor family with no background are like an ant. They can be crushed to death with just a finger.
When Chu Huan was re-employed, the Han Clan thought that it was just Chu Huan who was born into a good child. Not only was he born in a Hou family, but he also had a good sister who was married to the Ninth Prince. They looked down on Chu Huan from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu Huan didn't care, as long as he did his job well and didn't cause trouble to his family and his sixth sister.
However, the cabinet recently issued an order for the Hanlin Academy to move out some files and compile them into a book.
Xu Hanlin asked Chu Huan and Sun Yaozu to be his deputies and compile it together.
This Sun Yaozu was the last number one scholar. He came from a poor family. He was considered diligent in the Hanlin Academy for three years and was very popular among the poor sect.
Chu Huan went to the library for a long time and has not returned yet.
A junior official raised his head and looked around, a little worried, and said: "Brother Sun, if Chu San hasn't come back after being away for so long, is it because he is too busy? How about I go and take a look?"
Sun Yaozu studied hard for many years and was admitted to the top exam when he was nearly 30 years old.
It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous of Chu Huan.
He stopped writing and snorted coldly: "I didn't see you helping me before. Why did you change your gender today?"
The junior official looked stern, "Brother Sun, let's not target Chu San openly or covertly in the future. Haven't you heard? Jiang Yang had his hands chopped off after he pushed Chu Er into the water. If Chu San complains to the Ninth Prince
, we can’t eat and walk around.”
"Then Jiang Yang has the intention to murder, what did we do? If Chu San wants to file a lawsuit, he has to catch us." Sun Yaozu put down his brush with a look of contempt, "Those children of aristocratic families in the court are like
They are rice-eating insects, and the Ninth Prince has been protecting and conniving them. Sooner or later, the country of Mu will be defeated by them."
"Hush!" The junior official was horrified, "Brother Sun, how dare you say these words! Now even the prince wants to act based on the face of the Ninth Prince."
"These people are just born into a good child." Although Sun Yaozu looked disdainful, he was also a little frightened in his heart and did not dare to say any more.
The junior official sighed: "Who says it's not the case? How come Chu San is so lucky? He has a good father and a good sister."
If he had such a family background, would he still be doing chores every day?
Sun Yaozu suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Perhaps, the good days of Chu San and Anyang Houfu are coming to an end."
"What's the meaning?"
"It must have been some time since Chu Nanli married into Prince Yu's Mansion, but I heard that she and the Ninth Prince have never consummated their marriage!" Sun Yaozu said in a rather excited tone.
The junior official was shocked, "This...how do you know this?"
How private this is!
"Don't worry, that's what happened anyway." Sun Yaozu said, "Guess whose problem it is?"
The little official quickly looked around and saw that there was no one else in the room, but he was still worried and frightened, and said: "Brother Sun, is this something we can say? Stop talking."
He is not a talkative woman and likes to talk about these gossips, not to mention he doesn't want to die.
Seeing his cowardice, Sun Yaozu frowned, "What are you afraid of? No one is here. My guess is that the Ninth Prince disliked Chu Nanli for growing up in the countryside and was not willing to touch her. Men, who doesn't like her?
She is fair and tender, and Chu Nanli looks good, but her skin must be very rough. The Ninth Prince married her because of her ability, but he doesn’t know if he will..."
Before he finished speaking, the door that couldn't be closed was kicked open.
Before they could react, Sun Yaozu was punched by Chu Huan.
Although Chu Huan was not a martial artist, he came from a family of military generals. In addition, he was so angry that his punch caused Sun Yaozu's nose to bleed and he fell to the ground.
"You...Chu Huan, are you crazy! How dare you hit someone!?" As soon as Sun Yaozu spoke, his face hurt terribly.
"Sun Yaozu, I don't care how you usually make things difficult for me, but how dare you... how dare you humiliate my sixth sister like this!" Chu Huan glared at him.
"I will definitely appeal to the cabinet!" Sun Yaozu covered his face, "If you beat up your colleagues, you will never be able to serve as an errand in the Hanlin Academy again!"
"Then go ahead and see if your tongue can be saved." Chu Huan snorted coldly.
Sun Yaozu was immediately frightened and did not dare to utter a single word.
Because he knew that if what he said today was known to the Ninth Prince, he would not only lose his tongue!
Chu Huan did not act impulsively, but after careful consideration and deciding that he did not dare to speak out, he rushed in and beat him.
Sun Yaozu could only accept his bad luck and get up after a while.
However, as soon as his body moved, he suddenly felt pain in his chest. The pain made him unable to straighten his waist and even lost the strength to breathe.
He looked up at Chu Huan with difficulty, opening his mouth to ask for help, but his tongue was stiff and he couldn't utter a word at all.
"What's wrong with you?" Chu Huan saw something was wrong with him and hurried over to check.
At the moment when he touched Sun Yaozu, Sun Yaozu felt as if his heart had been hit hard. He spat out a mouthful of blood. Chu Huan was unable to dodge, and his face and clothes were stained with blood.
Looking over again, Sun Yaozu had fallen to the ground, his eyes widened, and he died.
Chu Huan froze on the spot.
I heard the little official shouting in panic: "Chu San, you killed someone! You killed Brother Sun!"
The small official's shout attracted many people.
Xu Hanlin came over and saw the situation and was confused, "Chu San, did you really beat Sun Yaozu to death?"
Chu Huan's head was dizzy. He looked at the lifeless Sun Yaozu, then looked up at Xu Hanlin: "I...I didn't..."
The junior official pointed at him with red eyes and shouted: "Why not? You were the one who beat Brother Sun to death!"
Chu Huan didn't know how to defend himself.
Although he used strength, he wouldn't be able to kill someone with just one punch, right?
This was the first time a murder case occurred in the Hanlin Academy. Everyone was at a loss for ideas. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, the eunuch hurriedly went to the Qianlong Palace to send a message.
By chance, Emperor Mu Wu was discussing political affairs with Yesi Heng.
