"Everyone on both sides is at fault. Itakara's fault is that you are arrogant and think that the shogunate children are superior to the common people, but they don't know that water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. Without the support of civilians, the shogunate is an empty air that can do nothing." Huang Zongxi said earnestly.

"But sir..." Ichikura muttered, wanting to argue.

"No need to say too much. You copy the Analects of Confucius five times to punish me. It will be handed over to me ten days later. You need to copy it carefully. You cannot find someone to copy it on your behalf, otherwise you will be fined ten times." Huang Zongxi said with a stern face.

"Yes, yes." Ichikura said timidly.

"Inoue, you have a mistake, so you should not be so impulsive. We are scholars. Unless it is a hatred of family and country, everything should be sat down and talked calmly." Huang Zongxi said to Inoue again.

"Yes..." Inoue also said in awe, but he respected more.

"You all go to the academy doctor to see their injuries and recover from them." Huang Zongxi said to the two of them, "Let you go for the time being. If you cause trouble in the school again in the future, don't blame me for driving you out of the academy."

Huang Zongxi then asked the servants to clean up the messy school and looked around the classroom. He always felt a little uneasy and always felt that this matter might not be easy to mediate. Unexpectedly, a small school opened to warriors and civilians at the same time, and he didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused in the future.

Huang Zongxi felt his right eyelid beating, and he felt even more anxious.

"A hateful thing, a few untouchables dared to commit crimes. If it weren't for the school, he would have cut off his hands and feet long ago!" Ichikura took a few samurai children out of the school and went to see his doctor to see his injuries.

"Ichikura, I think they dared to hit us with the support of the school. Otherwise, as they are, they would not even dare to touch a finger of us." Another samurai child also said angrily.

"You said we can't cause trouble in the school, so we won't do anything in the school, but how about teaching them a lesson in private?" Ichikura seemed to have thought of something and said to several samurai children.

When several samurai children said this, they patted their heads: "Yes, we can take revenge on them privately."

"I know that guy Inoue is the son of a tenant farmer, who lives in a small mountain village twenty miles outside Edo Castle. They have only him as a descendant. If something happens to him, see if their family will cry to death." said one of the samurai children.

"But it is really necessary for us to teach them a lesson? What if something happens, what should the school asks us to be accountable?" Ichikura himself asked to teach Inoue a lesson in private, but he was immediately a little afraid of it.

"The teacher doesn't care about the things outside the school! And I know that Inoue and those little people secretly established a Chinese training club, and the people inside highly admire Chinese culture. What would happen if the shogun knew about it?" said a samurai child.

"You are right. The shogunate will definitely stand on our side!" said Itakarachi. "When he returns home tonight and we will cause trouble for him!"

At dusk, students from Tokyo Academy will leave the school. Because the shogunate has strict control over Edo Castle, the Tokyo Academy does not occupy much land, let alone provide accommodation for students, so they can only go to and from home and school every day.

"Kun Inoue, you can go back alone, right?" Inoue's companion asked worriedly before leaving.

"No problem, it just hurts a little." Inoue's face was tied with a bandage, which was worn by Kyushu Jun at the Tokyo Academy doctor. "See you tomorrow." Inoue's companion said goodbye to him.

Because Edo Castle is still relatively backward, the Kyushu Army does not even popularize street lights in its own city, so it will definitely not come over to assist Edo Castle for free. Inoue needs to rush home before it gets completely dark, otherwise if it encounters a cloudy night, it may bump into the night.

Inoue changed out of the Hanfu from the Tokyo Academy and put on his own coarse cloth. At this time, he did not look like a student who was well-read in poetry, but like an ordinary farmer. He looked back at the outline of the school and couldn't help but be grateful that the school gave him the opportunity to change the trajectory of his life. If it goes well, he hoped that he could go to the Central Plains after he succeeded in his studies and then sent his parents there.

It was clearly summer, but this night was pitch black, and the stars in the sky were blocked by dark clouds.

When he left Edo Castle in Inoue and walked on the road in the fields, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Who?" Inoue looked around vigilantly and found several black shadows appearing in the darkness, with scabbards in their hands.

Before returning to Inoue, several black shadows rushed over and beat him up! Perhaps because they were afraid that they would kill people with a blade, the few black shadows that appeared used scabbards as weapons and slashed them hard on Inoue's body!

"Ahhh! I know who you are... Woohh..." Inoue, who was already injured, was surrounded by several people holding weapons, and had no ability to resist and could only be beaten passively.

"I know who we are? Who can prove that we did it? Brothers, beat him up!" Ichikura and several samurai children beat Inoue to the ground.

The sound of scabbard hitting the body came from the darkness. After hitting it for a long time, it felt a little laborious. It turned out that just hitting people would consume their physical strength.

"Ichikura, why didn't he move?" A samurai child suddenly found that Inoue was not moving.

"Is this guy pretending to be dead and trying to deceive us?" Ichikura, who was venting anger, noticed after hearing what his companion said.

He squatted down and snoreeded into the ink, his whole body trembled slightly, and a chill rose from behind: "He...he seems to have been really beaten to death by us..."

"This... this was not something I beat him to death..." One of the timid samurai children was so scared that their scabbards fell down.

"Let's go quickly! While no one sees it, no one knows that it's us who did it!" said another accomplice.

"But we have no evidence of being absent. If we are asked, we will be suspected..."

"Don't panic, everyone!" The scared Tochikura stopped the panic people, "The most urgent task is to leave here, find a barbecue, and let the barbecue share with us. We have been drinking in the barbecue tonight. Do you know?!"

Everyone looked at each other and said, "I understand!"

The guilty Onakura and others hurriedly threw the body of Inoue to the side of the road, and then quickly left with a scabbard, for fear that someone would encounter it.
