Chapter 79 Human Life

Under Ye Liangchen's insistence, the old man finally told the truth.

The thing is, the old man has a grandson named Ma Sheng, who is a few years older than Ye Liangchen. He is a student studying at Mo Liu Academy.

Not long ago, Ma Sheng began to be away from home.

At first, their family did not think much about it. It might be that Ma Sheng was tired of studying in the academy, or that the teacher had other instructions and was busy and could not come back.

But for several days in a row, Ma Sheng still did not return home, and there was no other news.

Now, the old man's family began to panic. They guessed that something must have happened.

So, the old man's child, that is, Ma Sheng's father, went to Mo Liu Academy to ask.

At first, the teacher of Mo Liu Academy and Ma Sheng's friends deceived the child's father and said that Ma Sheng was sent to other academies for exchange and it would take some time to come back.

Ma Sheng's father was a coolie and had never been to school, but he was not so easy to deceive.

He didn't know what talent his child had. He could read a little, but it was far from the level of exchange in the academy.

Besides, even if it was an exchange in the academy, was the time so tight that there was no time to even notify the family?

Ma Sheng's father didn't believe it, and he continued to ask questions. As a result, the teacher became impatient and forcibly dragged Ma Sheng's father out of the academy on the grounds of disturbing the academy.

Later, it was still a classmate of Ma Sheng. He felt sorry for Ma Sheng's father and secretly told them the matter.

It turned out that Ma Sheng was dead and was beaten to death.

A few days ago, Ma Sheng didn't know what happened to provoke Wang Youde, and was severely beaten by Wang Youde and his two followers.

He didn't know the severity of the attack and beat Ma Sheng to death.

Wang Youde is a member of the Wang family in Mocheng.

The Wang family ranks first in Mocheng, and Wang Youde is the grandson of the current head of the Wang family. He is usually arrogant and domineering, doing all kinds of evil, and is the number one bully in Mocheng.

Wang Youde is of noble status, and Ma Sheng is just a child of a commoner. Moliu Academy will make its own decision on which is more important.

Fearing that it would damage the reputation of Moliu Academy, Moliu Academy made a decision.

Ma Sheng's body was buried secretly, and the students of the academy were told not to pass on the news. Once discovered, they would be dealt with seriously.

When Ma Sheng's family came to ask about Ma Sheng's news, they could tell Ma Sheng's family that Ma Sheng represented Moliu Academy to participate in exchanges with other academies.

After waiting for a while, they could tell Ma Sheng's family that Ma Sheng was killed on the way back, and some compensation would be considered as the past, since the money was paid by the Wang family anyway.

Moliu Academy never expected that there were still students who had justice in their hearts and secretly informed Ma Sheng's father of the situation.

Ma Sheng's father cried loudly after learning about this, and came to Moliu Academy to ask for an explanation.

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, the teacher of Moliu Academy told Ma Sheng's father that Ma Sheng died accidentally and had nothing to do with other people.

Moliu Academy could compensate Ma Sheng's father with a sum of money so that Ma Sheng's father would let this matter go.

Ma Sheng's father naturally refused. He wanted to see the murderer and make him pay with his life.

Seeing that Ma Sheng's father was so stubborn, Mo Liu Academy did not want to continue to wade into this muddy water, so it threw the matter to the Wang family and told the Wang family to handle the matter properly and not to affect the reputation of Mo Liu Academy.

The Wang family was used to being domineering in Mo City, and those who did not listen to him would only die.

Ma Sheng's father had one leg broken by the Wang family, and they warned Ma Sheng's father that if they wanted to make trouble again, it would not be as simple as breaking a leg next time, and their whole family would die.

Afterwards, the Wang family also sent people to patrol near Ma Sheng's house to see if Ma Sheng's family was honest.

The old man did not let Ye Liangchen stay overnight and let him leave early for Ye Liangchen's good.

Speaking of which, Ye Liangchen was not a good person either. In order to compete for resources and time, many innocent people died because of him.

Having said that, Ye Liangchen still had a conscience in his heart.

After listening to the old man's story, Ye Liangchen was filled with indignation and uttered two words.

Beast.

This beast not only refers to Wang Youde, but also includes the Wang family of Mocheng, Moliu Academy, and even the government.

The old man did not mention the government at all. If you think about it, you will know that the government is also involved in this matter.

The Wang family, Moliu Academy, and the government must have communicated with each other.

Ye Liangchen will take care of such a despicable thing.

Ye Liangchen said: "Grandpa, is it convenient for me to go in and see the uncle?"

"This..."

The old man showed embarrassment on his face. He had said it so clearly, why couldn't Ye Liangchen listen to it? This would harm Ye Liangchen.

As if seeing the old man's worry, Ye Liangchen revealed his identity as a student.

"Grandpa, don't worry. I'm a student. Even the government can't arrest me without knowing the truth. What's more, I'm a Confucian scholar of the ninth rank."

This is the good thing about the Confucian world. As long as you pass the exam, no matter how high or low your fame is, you will enjoy the status of a Confucian scholar, and the government can't arrest you at will.

When the old man saw that Ye Liangchen was a student, and a Confucian scholar of the ninth rank, he admired Ye Liangchen from the bottom of his heart. He was a student at such a young age, and he was admitted to the ninth rank, and he really became a Confucian scholar.

If his grandson was half as good as Ye Liangchen, Wang Youde probably wouldn't dare to kill him, and Moliu Academy wouldn't shelter criminals.

The old man took a sneaky look around and saw that there was no one, so he let Ye Liangchen in.

After Ye Liangchen entered the house, he saw an old lady in the house, who was probably the old man's wife.

From this we can see that originally this family was still happy, with both old and young. Maybe their life was not satisfactory, but at least they were not mentally shocked.

Unfortunately, Ma Sheng was beaten to death by the beast, and Ma Sheng's father also had a leg broken when he asked for an explanation.

Now the old lady in the house is crying all day long, and she doesn't know how to live in the future.

"Where is the child's mother?"

Ye Liangchen asked another question.

The old man replied: "She had a difficult birth."

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Ye Liangchen apologized quickly, and he was wrong just now. This family is really full of disasters.

"It's okay, we have been used to it for so many years."

The old man shook his head, indicating that he didn't care. On the contrary, the old man was surprised that a scholar would apologize to people like them. This was something he had never seen before.

At this time, the old lady also reacted. Seeing Ye Liangchen, a stranger, she also asked the old man: "Old man, who is this?"

Before the old man answered, Ye Liangchen took the initiative to say to the old lady: "Grandma, hello, I came in to see the uncle."

"Ah? Oh!"

The old lady didn't react much. Ye Liangchen could see that the old lady had lost hope in life.

Ye Liangchen didn't say anything else, and turned to visit the middle-aged man lying on the bed, Ma Sheng's father.

Ma Sheng's father saw Ye Liangchen looking at him. Due to physical problems, he couldn't get up. He said to Ye Liangchen with regret: "Child, you shouldn't come in."
