Chapter 2011: Chapter 2013: Crisis Resolved

Faced with such a person, the Fourth Prince disdainfully said no more and instead turned to Song Wencai, and spoke, "Leave it to you, make him understand in death!"

"Yes, Fourth Prince, as your student I shall not disgrace my mission!"

Song Wencai agreed, watching the Fourth Prince swing his long arm, leading his people away.

The reason for leaving Song Wencai to handle it was also to give him an opportunity to see if he was a person that could be utilized.

At this time, Song Wencai stepped forward, very politely and respectfully saluted the Magistrate of the Capital and other officials.

Only then did he speak, "The Fourth Prince has already ascertained that Yang Ming was wronged. In order to draw out the person behind the plot, keeping the examinees here was necessary, and Yang Ming and his family were taken away. I was kept with them to make the person behind the scenes jealous and trap themselves!"

Song Wencai succinctly explained the situation, and everyone present immediately understood.

"The Fourth Prince is indeed wise!"

"The Fourth Prince is wise!"

"..."

"..."

The voices rose and fell throughout the venue.

The suppressed Young Master Liu was dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Seeing Young Master Liu like this, Song Wencai stepped forward and said, "You reap what you sow. Though you and I were classmates with Yang Ming, your heart is unrighteous, doing such horrifying acts are truly inappropriate. Thankfully, the Fourth Prince came here, and Yang Ming’s grievances are finally washed clean, otherwise the imperial court would again lack a valuable talent. People with such malicious intent like you are the pests of the imperial court, and should be eradicated, so take care of yourself!"

Once these words were spoken, someone in the crowd clapped and cheered, "Well said!"

Others followed suit, clapping too.

The Magistrate of the Capital glanced at Song Wencai, rather satisfied, and then waved his hand, "Take him away!"

Thus, Young Master Liu was taken away amidst everyone’s disdain.

After he left, many approached Song Wencai.

"Brother Song, we sincerely apologize for wrongly accusing you!"

"Yes, sincerely sorry, we thought you were the one who reported it."

"..."

"..."

Seeing how it was in the venue, it seemed everyone had lost interest in competing, so after discussing with several officials, the Magistrate of the Capital decided to pause the competition and continue the next day, then left.

The venue was abuzz with discussions about the incident; outside, the scene was similar.

Everyone was either discussing the wisdom of the Fourth Prince, the righteousness of Song Wencai, or the innocence of Yang Ming, and how Young Master Liu deserved his fate!

In short, these four had all become famous together in the Capital City.

When Yang Ming and others were brought over, they were hearing these discussions.

"Dear, that Fourth Prince is quite formidable!" Xiaoxiao remarked.

"It’s great, Third Brother, you’re finally alright." Yang Qiu sighed with relief.

Yang Ming stood there, feeling deeply moved. He truly owed a great deal this time.

He felt greatly respectful towards the Fourth Prince for being such an upright and honest person, regrettably lacking the opportunity to meet him, which was truly unfortunate.

However, he thought to himself, perhaps one day when he achieves success, he may meet him. Who knows!

"Where should we go next?" Wang Kui asked.

"Let’s return to the inn for now, as our belongings are there. Now that my charges are cleared, we can have a good time in the Capital City." Yang Ming said.

Thus, the group quietly left the venue, while walking Xiaoxiao talked about her plan, "I think we should thoroughly explore the streets of the Capital City tomorrow, and while shopping, we can understand the place better. Then we can decide where to go..."
