Chapter 1191 "Supplements"
Huai Shaoyong's mad ravings left many people speechless.
Even as Shen Zheng approached, he was still cursing: "Hou Yirui, you ruined my future and destroyed my reputation. May you die a horrible death!"
"Slap—" A heavy slap turned Huai Shaoyong's face away.
"You beast!" The black-bearded old man's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Huai Shaoyong's nose and shouted angrily, "You are a beast! How the headmaster has treated you all these years is obvious to everyone in the academy! How could you say such a thing!"
"You said it yourself, that was before!" Huai Shaoyong was forced to kneel on one knee by the guards, unable to move, but he kept cursing: "Old bastards! How did you treat me today? I only misspoke for a moment, and you turned against me and abandoned me like trash! Do you know what awaits me if you leave like that?"
It was the scorn of the entire government!
It's a future shrouded in darkness!
It's all Hou Yirui's fault for not trusting him!
It's all Luming Academy's fault for not standing by his side!
As he struggled and cursed, Huai Shaoyong caught a glimpse of a red figure out of the corner of his eye.
After a moment of stunned silence, he changed his tone and turned to yell, "And you! You're no better! If you hadn't sided with Pei Zhaoqi and incited the people, would I be in this situation? Pei Zhaoqi and I are both students of Liuyang Prefecture. You are an official of the court, so why are you showing favoritism?"
Shen Zheng was scolded as soon as she arrived, which she found novel: "Is this official involved too?"
Huai Shaoyong was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage: "I... ...
The dirty words are unbearable.
While observing Huai Shaoyong's expression, Shen Zheng beckoned to him with her finger: "Say a couple more curses."
Huai Shaoyong was stunned for a moment, then his fighting spirit blazed: "Shen Zheng, I @￥@......"
He used Shen Zheng as the center and her parents as the radius, and cursed Shen Zheng and all her relatives within five degrees of kinship.
Shen Zheng became more and more excited as she listened, and then provoked him: "Continue, come on, curse this official."
"?"
Huai Shaoyong was stunned.
The surrounding people were also stunned.
Even Jiang Zhiming, who rushed over while clutching the back of his head, was stunned.
How come I never noticed before that Lord Shen had this peculiar habit...?
In the crowd, Cui Jinyin tightly gripped Yu Nanshu's sleeve, "Yu Nanshu, I'm so scared of the teacher like this..."
Yu Nanshu's teeth chattered: "You little coward... I'm not afraid."
"Lord Shen, what's wrong...?" Jiang Zhiming asked, rubbing the back of his head, voicing everyone's unspoken question.
Shen Zheng beckoned to Jiang Zhiming, led him to Hou Yirui, and asked Hou Yirui, who was still reeling from the scolding, "Headmaster Hou, does Huai Shaoyong usually take any medicine?"
Hou Yirui, whose mind was filled with thoughts of his own "desperate death," was stunned for a long while upon hearing this. "What did you say?"
Shen Zheng paused, then repeated, "I asked, does Huai Shaoyong have a habit of taking medicine regularly?"
"Take medicine?" Hou Yirui thought for a moment, then shook his head: "He is in good health and rarely gets sick."
Shen Zheng turned to look at Huai Shaoyong and asked, "Could you please think again? Do you have any tonics or anything like that?"
Upon hearing the word "supplement," Hou Yirui fell into deep thought, "It seems..."
"Yes! I've seen it!" Hou Yirui was still thinking when a teacher from Luming Academy interrupted him: "I've seen it twice. Huai Shaoyong was eating something strange! He said it was a tonic prepared by a famous doctor at home!"
"Strange thing?" Shen Zheng immediately seized on the oddity and pressed, "If it's a tonic, what's so strange about it?"
Shen Zheng really hoped that the reality wasn't what she imagined.
However, Huai Shaoyong's various unusual behaviors are indeed difficult to explain using common sense, unless...
“Because the tonic is in powder form.” The academy teacher frowned slightly, his voice filled with doubt: “But aren’t most tonics pills, or decoctions and soups? Powdered medicine… is rarely seen in clinics, isn’t it?”
Medicine powder......
Upon hearing those two words, Shen Zheng felt as if her heart had sunk to the bottom.
Today, Huai Shaoyong's extraordinary courage, unusually irritable temper, and gradually reddening eyes all point to that "strange powder".
"Besides Huai Shaoyong, are there any other people in your academy taking that medicine powder?" Shen Zheng pressed.
The academy teacher thought for a moment and shook his head, "This... I'm not quite sure."
"Hey! What are you whispering about?!" On the other end, Huai Shaoyong started cursing again: "Only a bunch of rats like you dare to huddle together and whisper... mmm—"
Huai Shaoyong's mouth was covered by the guards, but he still kept making "woo-woo" sounds.
At this moment, even Hou Yirui, who was still dazed from being scolded, noticed something was wrong: "Lord Shen, do you mean that Shao Yong... is acting like this today... because he took the tonic?"
Shen Zheng squinted at Hou Yirui for a while, then suddenly asked, "Headmaster Hou, if you were to return to yesterday, would you have brought so many teachers to Liuyang Prefecture just because of a few words of encouragement from Huai Shaoyong?"
After saying that, Shen Zheng looked at the people from Luming Academy and asked, "What about you? If you were to go back to yesterday, would you have the courage to challenge me?"
Everyone froze in place upon hearing this.
Although Shen Zheng's words were arrogant and disrespectful, in truth, what she said... seemed to be true.
No matter how famous Luming Academy is, it is still just a private academy. How could they be so easily instigated by Huai Shaoyong to set off for Liuyang Prefecture overnight just to support Huai Shaoyong?
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Hou Yirui's expression hardened as he suddenly remembered the tea that Huai Shaoyong had brewed for them yesterday.
"That pot of tea..."
"Tea!" Everyone realized. "We all drank that pot of tea. In fact, when we drank it, we felt refreshed and invigorated. It even made us feel a little lightheaded!"
Jiang Zhiming, who was standing to the side, was stunned: "What kind of tea could have such effects?"
Xin Ji, who had somehow gotten close, rolled her eyes: "You still don't understand? It's not tea leaves, it's that tonic powder that Huai Shaoyong put into the tea."
Shen Zheng nodded, then turned back to look at Huai Shaoyong, "That thing is probably not a tonic at all."
Jiang Zhiming also looked at Huai Shaoyong, his head throbbing again. "It's not a tonic, it's...what?"
"A poison that pierces the intestines." Shen Zheng uttered these words and stood up to walk towards Huai Shaoyong.
"Keep him under control," Shen Zheng said to the guards as she squatted down in front of Huai Shaoyong.
The soldiers secretly increased their strength, and Shen Zheng slowly reached her hand towards Huai Shaoyong's collar.
Jiang Zhiming was startled upon seeing this and ran over, clutching the back of his head: "Lord Shen, Lord Shen, this kind of body search is something I can easily handle..."
