please keep me quiet dude

At the well, Hou Jing brought up a bucket of water, dipped some water on his fingers and tasted it, it was indeed poisonous.Next, let's see how to configure the antidote...

"This water..." Hou Jing nodded with doubts in He Yi's eyes.

"Miss He, I hope you can keep it secret for me for the time being, and don't let anyone know that the well has been poisoned, otherwise, it will cause riots."

He Yi nodded, as a promise.With He Yi's promise, Hou Jing was relieved.He just told He Yi to go back to his room and wait for the news, just stay there.He Yi also knows that he can't help much, but he still has taboos about this poison.

"Then this poison..."

Fear flashed in He Yi's eyes, Hou Jing turned around and grinned at her, "Don't worry, leave it to me."

He Yi believed it, and pulled Hou Jing's clothes with a blushing face, Hou Jing looked at her in confusion.

"Young Master Hou, you have to be careful..."

After He Yi left, Hou Jing scratched her head, why was she blushing?

Forget it, Hou Jing shrugged her shoulders, her eyes darkened, and the next step is to detoxify...

Hou Jing then went to Taozhai where the white-bearded old man stayed, according to his memory, and saw a group of people there, moaning.Hou Jing stroked his smooth chin. Judging from the performance of the poisoned person, at least the poison will not endanger life, so that's good.

Hou Jing also knew from others that the white-bearded old man was originally a doctor of this academy. Of course, he worked part-time as a doctor by the way, mainly to study his strange things.Since he is Xiao Xiaoyan's person, he must have some background.

"Little baby?" The white-bearded old man saw Hou Jing, and his eyes lit up again, which made Hou Jing's heart tighten.

The old man hasn't given up yet, has he?

"Little baby, tell me the truth, you know how to treat medicine, right? That day you obviously got my powerless powder, why am I still in a coma? Unless, you drugged me! So, I came to a conclusion, in fact, You're a master, aren't you?"

Hou Jing raised her eyebrows and took the pulse of the person next to her. Well, it's okay, nothing serious.

"No, I just know how to feel the pulse. You think too much."

"Thinking too much? Then explain to me, how did you come back to your room after being hit by me?"

Hou Jing shrugged,

"It's very simple. You suddenly fell into a coma that day, and it has nothing to do with me. As for how I walked back...Old man, you are getting old, do you have a bad memory? Are you sure that I fell into your powerless powder that day? "

Faced with Hou Jing's doubts, the old man was stunned, unable to react, this...

"So, the truth is, you may have fallen into a coma because of your old age, and you simply forgot to give me the medicine. Then, when I saw you in a coma, I naturally ran away, otherwise... Waiting for you to treat me as an experimental product?"

She said it without blushing, but she didn't think it was a lie, at best it was just fooling around.For an old man, when you mention memory, he will be confused.So, Hou Jing succeeded, but Hou Jing didn't intend to continue to fight with him.

Go over and make peace with the old man first, saying that no matter what he wants to do, he must put it aside and deal with the patient first.On this point, the old man with white beard has no objection.Then Hou Jing learned from the old man with white beard that the students were poisoned. Most of them were suffering from abdominal cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and dehydration.

Fortunately, there have been no life-threatening cases so far.Hou Jing told the old man with the white beard about the poisoning of the well, and gave the old man with the white beard the kettle filled with well water to study.

"How long will it take to detoxify?"

This... the old man with the white beard touched his beard, shook his head, and said, at least one day.

one day?I don't know if I have enough time...

Frowning, forget it, it's not her turn to worry about this matter, she has done everything she should do, if she does too much, it will arouse suspicion.

"Hey, remember, after this matter is over, you must make it clear!"

Spread your hands, turn around and leave, will she keep her promise?Ha ha, no wonder...

Next... Taking a long breath, she had to go and see that so-called court official.No matter how powerful Xiao Xiaoyan is, she is still a woman after all, facing those people in the court, okay?Hou Jing was a little worried, although another voice in her heart reminded her, don't get too close to Xiao Xiaoyan, she doesn't need you to worry at all.

The meeting with important court officials should be in the courtyard she went to today, which is Xiao Xiaoyan's private domain, and it is not easy to be disturbed by others. Similarly, it can also avoid letting important court officials know about the poisoning.

She had already learned from Whitebeard that Xiao Xiaoyan had given the academy a day off and asked the students to stay in the room, so that the minister would not be able to find out about the poisoning for the time being.However, as soon as the minister appeared, the students of the academy were poisoned. Isn't this timing too coincidental?

"Haha, Dean Xiao is really joking, but I heard that your school has always been strict in the style of study, so how can you take vacations for no reason? Too many vacations, is it suspected of wasting their studies? If students really waste their studies because of this, then ...The emperor blamed it, saying that the imperial court has spent money and effort to run such a college, but it has taught lazy students, what should we do?"

Before Hou Jing entered the hall, he heard a male voice. Hearing those words, he probably guessed that the person who spoke was the so-called court official.So Hou Jing eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, thinking to herself, she doesn't bother, so it's okay?

Until the man said that...

"However... I can't blame you for this. After all, you are a woman, dean. You are not like a man. In terms of governing the academy... you are always..."

"Your Excellency is really good at joking. If I heard correctly, Your Excellency was just saying that it would be a mistake to let a woman be the dean. Women will never have men, okay?" Hou Jing strode into the lobby with her hands behind her back.

The so-called important court official was naturally displeased with Hou Jing who appeared suddenly, and touched the agate ring on his hand.

"So what, isn't what I said the truth?"

Hou Jing smiled wickedly, and grinned,

"Did your lord forget that the person who decided to let our dean establish Linxiang Academy...but now the sage...my lord said that it was a mistake to let a woman be the dean. Are you saying that the sage made a mistake, the sage made a mistake ?”

"This this……"

"Since your lord is so dissatisfied, why don't you say it in front of the Holy Majesty? Since you said it here, doesn't it mean that you are dissatisfied with the Holy Majesty? It doesn't matter to us, but if it reaches the Holy Majesty's ears, my lord The official position can be..."

At this point, the minister's face turned dark and he was also angry. He couldn't find anything to refute Hou Jing, so he pointed at Hou Jing and shouted, "Bold, who made you so presumptuous!"

"My lord, don't get angry. This one is a student of our academy." Then Xiao Xiaoyan spoke.

student?Suddenly something strange flashed in the man's eyes, and then light came out, as if he had finally caught something.

"Students... Didn't you say that they are all on vacation?"

Hehe, Hou Jing stood next to Xiao Xiaoyan, with her head held high, like a good baby.

"Naturally, the dean taught well, and the students didn't want to waste time, so they stayed in the college to study. It just so happened that there was a question to ask the dean, and the students didn't intend to disturb, but they just heard that the adults seemed to have some opinions on our dean. That’s why I couldn’t help but come here. Sir, you have also studied, so you must understand our heart to protect the dean, right?”

It sounds like understanding, but in fact it is just giving the other party a step down, unless the man himself admits that he is a country rough man.

"Well..."

After coughing twice, it was over.

"But my lord is talking too much, dare to ask you..."

Of course Hou Jing wouldn't think that the man really cared about her name, just to avenge her in the future, but...she wasn't afraid.

"Thousands of princes, it's hard to caress me without a prince, the Qin people wear Yulu, and Mingle Baoyujing's Jing."

She doesn't often speak poetry, and she always feels sore when she utters poems or something, but today, she doesn't mind making an exception.

"Hou Jing? Hou... the Hou family in the capital? The number one merchant in the world, the Hou family?"

Raising an eyebrow, Hou Jing understood in seconds.Mr. Hou's business has naturally brought a lot of benefits to the court, and this man is probably one of them.

"It turned out to be Master Hou. Why didn't you say it earlier? Look at me, I don't even recognize you. You should have said it earlier, otherwise I wouldn't be so strict." The man's attitude changed immediately, and he was very polite. I got less money.

The so-called taking people's money is very soft. Since the Hou family affects his income, it will be easy to handle.

"But... why didn't I hear Master Hou say that you also went to Linxiang Academy to study?"

The man was a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, why didn't he know that the woman surnamed Xiao was backed by the Hou family?

"Oh, this, don't you know, Miss Xiao is kind to the Hou family, and my father appreciates this academy very much, so..."

The man wiped his sweat immediately, as if he was very nervous, sure enough, fortunately, he didn't do anything wrong.

"That... I'm sorry, Dean Xiao, I didn't know you were the benefactor of the Hou family. Master Hou and I can be regarded as friends. Since you are his benefactor, you should also be kind to me. I should also thank you You. Then this time, I will truthfully report your achievements to the Holy One, Dean Xiao, you are the pillar of the country, a rare talent."

Hou Jing's stomach was almost churning when he said it, the people in the officialdom are really different...

Xiao Xiaoyan ordered the man to be sent to the academy, and when the man's figure completely disappeared before Hou Jing's eyes, she yawned and moved her muscles, thinking, she's done, she should retire and have a good rest .

"Where are you going?" It was Xiao Xiaoyan who spoke, and it was Xiu who blocked her.

Uh... what are these two people... going to do?

Hou Jing turned around and looked into Xiao Xiaoyan's eyes, feeling apprehensive.

"That... Xiao... Dean, don't look at me like that, I'm panicking."

As soon as Hou Jing finished speaking, Xiao Xiaoyan covered her mouth and smiled.

"I'll just ask you one question."

Hou Jing nodded.

"Why do you want to get involved? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble to the Hou family?"

Uh...Hou Jing returned her smile, but felt quite helpless.

"You let me enter the academy, isn't it just to let the Hou family act as your shield? Xiao Xiaoyan, I am very self-conscious." Even including that she will use her fiancée's name to push the Hou family to the forefront in the future, she just follows their It's just a plan.

But Xiao Xiaoyan didn't seem to like the answer, but continued to stare into Hou Jing's eyes, "The answer is not what you asked!"

The two looked at each other, okay, Hou Jing admit defeat,

"Must I say it?"

"It's okay if you don't tell me, I don't mind Xiu helping."

"..."

"Because I'm out of my mind..."

"..."
