The golden gravy was filled with beef and some chopped green onions. The fragrance assailed his nostrils. He couldn’t get tired of the familiar smell. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating in big mouthfuls.

“Slow down,” reminded Zheng Rou.

Zhang Ronghua smiled and continued to eat. He occasionally drank a few mouthfuls of soup and finished a bowl of beef noodles. He looked at the sky outside and chatted until it was almost midnight. He stood up from his chair and said,”lt’s getting late. I should go back. Mother, rest early.”

“You’re not staying here tonight?” “No.” Zhang Ronghua shook his head. “Be careful!”

“Yes.” Zhang Ronghua agreed.

He didn’t let his mother send him off. He left the residence and walked along the street towards his home in the Vermilion Bird Lane.

Vermilion Bird Avenue.

Three disheveled silhouettes, tattered clothes, mud stained black, disheveled hair, a strong stench wafted out, you can smell it from far away, curled up in a corner, stomach like firecrackers, thunderclaps clattering non-stop.

The three of them were none other than the Imperial College’s Chancellor and the two main bookkeepers of the directorate.

After Wan Guoqiang and the others died, they were so scared that they wet their pants. They used all their strength to escape to the capital city, afraid that they would be killed the next second. They stumbled along the way. Under the control of fear, they forgot their fatigue and finally arrived at the capital city this afternoon. After entering the city, they went straight to Changqing Academy. Firstly, they told Wan Guoqiang and the others that they had been killed. Secondly, they wanted to seek help to restore their positions. They were chased out before they could even enter the main gate.

The three of them were in despair. The last straw of hope was shattered just like that. Coupled with the high-intensity journey, in order to return to the capital as soon as possible, they had thrown away all the food and drink they had on them. They were all holding on with one breath. Now that their breath had dissipated, they were hungry and did not even have the strength to walk.

Before they could ask for help from their friends, the people of the True

Dragon Palace arrived and captured them. When they arrived at the True Dragon Palace, Fang Zaitian interrogated them severely and asked them who had killed Wan Guoqiang and the others. Due to their identities, even though the three of them had lost their jobs, they were still scholars and people of Changqing Academy. Even if they were abandoned, as long as the imperial court didn’t convict them, they were still innocent. Fang Zaitian didn’t dare to torture them and he didn’t know the result.

It was said that Wan Guoqiang and the others were disgusted by them before they died. Fang Zaitian couldn’t bear it and ordered his men to beat them up before throwing them out.

Their stomachs were hungry and their bodies were in pain. The three of them struggled to go home. As long as they returned home, the predicament in front of them would be resolved. Something that made them despair appeared again.

When they reached home, they couldn’t even enter the door. They were blocked by the guards outside. The guards who were like dogs in the past would come up to them from afar. They wanted to kneel on the ground and lick them. Today, it was a different person. They were cold and heartless. The words they said were also ruthless. As long as they dared to take a step forward, they would press them to the ground and beat them to death.

They didn’t believe it and tried to beat him up. In the end, they almost sh * t out of their pants. They were really ruthless and didn’t show any mercy.

Dragging his tired and injured body, he left shakily. He was abandoned by Changqing Academy and couldn’t return home. He could only seek refuge with his good friends.

When they were in power, they had once drank and chatted with friends. They had once again experienced the cold and warmth of the world. Not to mention meeting them, they could not even enter the door and were even ruthlessly humiliated by the guards.

The three of them were in despair after being hit one after another. That was how this scene happened. They curled up in a corner, worse than beggars. They trembled in the cold night wind, and their stomachs were hungry. They suffered double torture.

Vigorous and powerful footsteps sounded as a young man walked over from the opposite side. He was dressed in a black brocade robe with a gold collar. The flame symbol on his chest was very eye-catching, especially the belt around his waist. It contained five kinds of spiritual light, like the moving morning sun in the night. It was difficult not to notice it.

He subconsciously looked over. When he got closer, he looked at the familiar face in front of him. It was as if he had seen his last life-saving straw. A huge amount of power erupted from his body. He stood up with difficulty and rushed forward. At the same time, he shouted, “Lord Zhang, please wait!”

Zhang Ronghua stopped and looked at the three people who rushed up from the side. At first, he felt that these three beggars were really smelly. He could smell the stench coming from their bodies even from far away. At second glance, he felt that they were a little familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

He recognized them at a third glance, Imperial College Chancellor and the others!

He was puzzled. How did it become like this? The imperial court’s order was to demote them to white bodies and send them to Shangliang Town to educate the people. Now that Wan Guoqiang and the others were dead, the three of them had paid the price. Logically speaking, Changqing Academy couldn’t just ignore them. As long as they moved around, although they couldn’t restore their original positions and power, they wouldn’t be too far off.

Taking a step back, even if Changqing Academy completely abandoned them, they wouldn’t end up as beggars, right? After being officials for so many years, where were their good friends? What about his family? He couldn’t just leave her in the lurch, could he?

Don’t even think about officialdom, but it shouldn’t be difficult to change clothes and let them eat a hot meal, right?

But now, the stench was overwhelming, and there were bloodstains on his face and body. It seemed that he had been beaten up more than once. He was even more of a beggar than a beggar.

Zhang Ronghua understood that He Wenxuan was still targeting them. Even if Wan Guoqiang and the others were dead, they had escaped the tragic fate of being sent to Shangliang Town to educate the people. As long as He Wenxuan did not relent, no one would dare to take them in, including their families, even if they were still in the capital..
