Chapter 1854: You Just Have to Answer, Yes or No

Editor: Henyee Translations

Old Madam Yang was still a little afraid of the officers. Seeing their serious expressions, she opened her mouth but did not say anything.

However, Gu Yunshu took a step forward and cupped his hands at these people. He said in a clear voice, "Greetings, officers."

The officers were surprised to see such a polite and refined child who looked like a noble young master at the market.

However, the other party was polite, so their tone naturally became much gentler. "Judging from your actions, did you study before?"

"Yes, I’m a student of the Xuanhe Prefecture’s Tianhai Academy. Although I don’t have any achievements for now, the teacher said that I can give it a try next year."

"Yo, you’re so young, but you’re actually going to participate next year?" Tianhai Academy was a famous school that had been around for a hundred years. The teachers in the academy were at least High Scholars. Over the years, there had been many High Scholars and Honorable Scholars.

This little scholar had been told by the Tianhai Academy’s teacher that he could take the exam, so he must be quite knowledgeable. His future was limitless.

For such people, it was natural to be on good terms with a promising scholar.

As for whether the other party would lie to him, the officers was not worried. In this day and age, people respected scholars very much. It was unlikely for this kid to impersonate one, let alone in front of someone like him who worked in the government office.

If it was leaked, wouldn’t that be courting death?

The man wanted to ask more, but the person beside him couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded him, "Let’s get down to business first."

The messenger suddenly came back to his senses. He coughed lightly and asked Gu Yunshu with a straight face, "Is what they said true? Are you going to kill them?"

Gu Yunshu cupped his hands again. "Sir, if they say yes and I say no, you’ll be in a difficult position. I wonder if you can allow me to ask him a few questions? You’ll understand when you hear it."

"Ask away."

Gu Yunshu turned around with a smile on his face and slowly took a few steps towards Liu Bao.

"Your name is Yang Bao, right?"

Yang Bao was unwilling to pay attention to him and turned his head away.

In the end, the officer frowned and shouted, "Be cooperative. Otherwise, follow us to the government office for questioning."

Yang Bao was shocked and nodded hurriedly. "I am. My name is Yang Bao."

Gu Yunshu nodded. "We were talking and eating here just now. We didn’t even know you, but you ran over from behind me and wanted to kill me. Is that right?"

"What do you mean I don’t know her? My grandmother..."

"You just have to answer with yes or no?" Gu Yunshu took a step closer and raised his voice.

Yang Bao pursed his lips and nodded. "Yes, but you dodged me. I didn’t hit you."

Gu Yunshu said, "Yes, I dodged you. This means that my hearing, eyes, and reactions are sharp. I didn’t touch you either. It proves that I took a step back from your actions. You were lying on the ground because you couldn’t stop yourself, right?"

"What do you mean by backing down? Didn’t you put my shoe..."

"All you have to say is that I didn’t cause you to fall, did I?"

"... That’s right."

Gu Yunshu continued, "But my concession did not stop you from doing evil. You cursed at my grandmother. Every word was unsightly and every word was as smelly as the soles of your shoes. As a junior, I can’t stand you being so disrespectful and humiliating to my elders. Should I stop you from talking with your shoes?"

Yang Bao was speechless. Should he, or should he not?

Gu Yunshu turned around with a smile and said to the officials, "I’m done asking. Who do you think is at fault?"
