Chapter 111 Arousing Public Outrage
Dean Gu coughed and said to the visitor, "Miss Xie Jiu, the doctor is on the way. Since there are no casualties, why bother alerting the authorities?"
Feng Jia looked at the sneer on Zhou Muqi's lips and sneered, "Dean Gu, please think carefully. There is a murderer in this academy. If you report it to the police now, you can still clear yourself of any connection. But if Jingzhao Prefecture finds out, you can talk about it... then you will be guilty of harboring a murderer!"
"According to the Dali laws, if someone kills someone, he must pay with his life, and if someone protects someone, he must pay with his life! Dean Gu, have you made up your mind?"
After saying this, Feng Jia turned to face everyone.
When Gu Weifeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and his eyes were complicated.
Zhou Muqi yelled, "You shameless scoundrel! How dare you report this to the police! Xie Lanzhao, how dare you!"
Xie Xiyi, who had been standing behind Zhou Muqi, bit his lips tightly, as if he had thought of something. He looked nervous and kept twisting the handkerchief in his hand.
Feng Jia withdrew his gaze and vaguely felt that these three people seemed to be afraid of seeing the official. Were they trying to hide something deliberately?
The hidden things are most likely related to the student named Lu Qin.
After a while, Gu Weifeng frowned and said, "Xie Jiu Xiao Miss, I advise you not to make a big deal out of this!"
"Oh? The students don't understand."
Gu Weifeng said confidently: "Women should stay in the inner house and behave themselves. Even if they are common women, they are ashamed to go to court. Miss Xie Jiu, since you have done no harm, why do you have to show up in public and let others laugh at you for nothing?"
Feng Jia suddenly clapped his hands and laughed.
Everyone was confused by her laughter, and Gu Weifeng even frowned and asked, "Ninth Miss, what are you laughing at?"
Feng Jia raised her handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. "Mr. Xiao, you are so pedantic! You have so many sour and smelly theories! I almost died at Zhou Muqi's hands, why would I care about my reputation?"
"You!" Gu Weifeng stretched out a finger and pointed it at Feng Jia's forehead tremblingly, his face ashen, and he kept saying "you" for a long time without any response.
Feng Jia said, "Sir, I have something to advise you. If I were a commoner, and Zhou Muqi wanted to kill me, I'm sure the Gu family private school would have helped pass the knife. Unfortunately, I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the injured person is the daughter of Master Chen of Youzhou Yuntaisi. Whether to report it to the authorities or not is not up to you, a small private school principal!"
Feng Jia turned his gaze coldly towards Zhou Muqi, "I will avenge this crime today! The murderer must be killed!"
"Let's see who dares to stop me!"
Everyone was frightened by her aura.
Zhou Muqi clenched his fists tightly and watched Feng Jia's servant Song Huai push away the crowd and rush out. His eyes were filled with hatred that seemed to be bleeding.
Feng Jia squatted down and hugged her in her arms. Chen Yangyang's face lost all color, but she still forced a smile and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister Lan Zhao, I'm awesome, right..."
"Idiot! You are so stupid!" Feng Jia's brows were knitted together. "Just now I saw with my own eyes that you pressed the snake's mouth on your hand. There are so many ways to take revenge on Zhou Muqi, but you chose one that would cost you your life!"
"My sister also said that I'm stupid," Chen Yangyang said with a smile that didn't fade, feeling a little wronged but also a little proud: "I can only think of this one way..."
"But don't worry, Sister Lan Zhao, it won't kill you." Chen Yangyang blinked, "You forgot, my mother is a doctor. There is no dog woman in Tiger Gate. Naturally, I know some medical skills. I have already taken the antidote!"
Feng Jia was relieved and asked, "Did you also ask someone to invite the dean?"
Chen Yangyang nodded: "I asked my personal maid to report that there was a thief in the water corridor. Dean Zhou then summoned everyone to come with sticks, and caught Zhou Muqi in the act."
Feng Jia finally smiled: "Not too stupid."
As he was speaking, the doctor from the private school came hurriedly. After a check, he said that there was nothing serious. Soon, people from the Jingzhao Prefecture also arrived.
In the court of Jingzhao Prefecture, Zhou Zhen sat firmly in the seat of honor.
Feng Jia and Gu Weifeng stood side by side, while Chen Yangyang stood weakly on one side supported by a maid, and Xie Muqi was kneeling beside her.
Gu Weifeng's face turned pale. He was well versed in poetry and literature and thought he was superior to others. But now he was in court and in front of everyone. He felt very humiliated. He looked at Feng Jia with disgust and bowed to Zhou Zhen: "Sir, it's just a small fight between a few girls in the private school. I didn't expect that Miss Xie Jiu from the Prime Minister's Mansion would go to court..."
He sighed: "It's true that only girls are difficult to raise!"
It was unexpected that Mr. Gu, who was always polite and well-mannered, was so angry that the onlookers, who had not yet figured out the whole story, began to point fingers at Feng Jia.
Zhou Zhen also frowned. If it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of the Prime Minister, he would have probably kicked out this ignorant and unchaste woman!
Feng Jia remained calm: "Minor fights? Dean Gu, what you mean by minor fights is to allow Zhou Muqi to bully the weak, let her give her classmates nicknames, and force others to kowtow in public?"
"It's just a game between classmates, why take it seriously?" Gu Weifeng didn't care, and smiled and bowed to Zhou Zhen: "Sir, our private school has always taught students to learn to say no to unscrupulous requests!"
He looked at Chen Yangyang, whose lips were slightly purple, and his face was unhappy. The person who said that there were thieves coming to the water corridor was Chen Yangyang's maid, and the person who led him all the way to the water corridor was also this maid. Gu Weifeng was not stupid and had figured out what was going on.
He was being used!
The slightest bit of sympathy in Gu Weifeng's heart was completely burned away by the anger after knowing the truth. He bowed to Zhou Zhen again and said, "But this Chen Yangyang has been ridiculed and teased by others time and time again, but she didn't know how to refuse. She only knew how to blame others. Why doesn't she reflect on herself?"
Chen Yangyang looked up, eyes full of disbelief.
Gu Weifeng was wearing a spotless white robe, still with that aloof look: "Sir, she has been in my Gu family private school for a few years, but she has a dull and paranoid personality, never interacts with others, doesn't like to talk, and her schoolwork is a mess!"
Chen Yangyang's face turned paler and paler, as if her weakness had been exposed.
Gu Weifeng looked at the other person's face and smiled confidently: "Sir, you can ask other students in my private school. People like her..."
"People like her are not worthy of being human beings?" Feng Jia shouted, her voice hitting the hall with a resounding sound.
There was silence all around.
"Just because she is a loner, has no friends, or is terrible at her studies, she is not your student, Dean? She doesn't deserve respect? She deserves to be bullied for so many years without being able to fight back?"
Gu Weifeng's mouth stiffened.
"Miss Chen didn't want to be beaten and resisted, so she bravely brought the real villain to court, but the dean said she was dull and paranoid!" Feng Jia snorted coldly and said to the onlookers: "Everyone, is this true in the world?"
The onlookers looked at each other in bewilderment.
Feng Jia added, "This Gu family private school is seeking fame and reputation, shielding the real murderer, and even blatantly putting the blame on the victim, thinking that the victim was bullied because of his personality and deserved to be bullied! Is there any truth in this world?"
"Just imagine, your children were sent to this private school, being called pigs and dogs, being stepped on like dogs, being slapped or kicked for no reason without doing anything wrong. After so many years, would the children become withdrawn and unwilling to make friends? Would they doubt themselves and the world? Even if they fought back with their lives, the dean would think it was just a petty fight between children, and scold us for being difficult to raise girls! Is there such a reason in this world?"
Each sentence Feng Jia spoke was louder than the previous one. Every word was like a heavy stone, hitting people's hearts and shocking everyone.
Feng Jia's words gave Chen Yangyang great encouragement. She stood up and said to everyone earnestly, "But am I really like what Dean Gu said? Am I a bad student who is terrible at schoolwork and never studies seriously? No! Although I am not very talented, I like to go to class very much! But Zhou Muqi smashed my piano, destroyed my books, snatched away the embroidery homework I worked on all night, and stepped on it! The reason I couldn't finish my homework in the college is not because I didn't work hard! It's because my homework was snatched away! It was torn up! I went to tell Mr. Du and Mr. Li, but they all turned a blind eye to the fact that I was bullied!"
"I sat in front of Zhou Muqi. In class, Zhou Muqi would always poke my back with a brush! I was isolated and helpless! I dared not speak out! Is it true, as Dean Gu said, that I am a loner because I am the youngest? No! I was forced into this state day by day, little by little!"
Everyone was shocked.
If your own child were really treated like this...
Some people already had anger on their faces, looking at Zhou Muqi with sharp eyes, and some rolled up their sleeves, as if they wanted to drag the person out and beat him up to vent their anger!
Feng Jia continued, "Dean, is it because Zhou Muqi's aunt is the current Concubine Xiao, and you can't afford to offend her, so you are so biased towards this Miss Zhou?"
Zhou Muqi was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and shouted, "Xie Lanzhao, you are lying! This matter has nothing to do with my aunt!"
Feng Jia naturally knew this, but the appearance of Concubine Xiao was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately went wild.
