In Chaoyang Lane.

On the old bluestone street, Zeng Heihu had his chest and back exposed, tied up thorns, and his back was covered in blood. He knocked in three steps and shouted, "Mr. Du, I was wrong."

The people passing by and from the streets and the people in the shops on both sides of the road saw Zeng Heihu's appearance, and they all widened their eyes and looked at each other.

This...is this official Zeng Daren?

Official Zeng, who was originally domineering and showing off his power, was actually apologizing for his crimes?

Who is this Mr. Du? He was able to make official Zeng do such a humble attitude and apologize to him?

Due to Zeng Heihu's previous power, people did not dare to talk casually, but they stretched their necks one by one and looked over curiously.

Then... people were surprised to see Zeng Heihu bowed and shouted all the way, and walked to the door of the tofu shop of Lao Du's house.

"Mr. Du, I was wrong!"

Zeng Heihu knelt at the door of the tofu shop, shouting, and kowtowed constantly in the direction of the shop door.

The "Young Master Du" that Master Zeng called out was actually the old Du family?

Since he is called "Young Master", he must not be Lao Du. Could it be Lao Du's son Du Heng?

What a joke? What kind of virtue is Du Heng? He actually made official Zeng respectfully called "Prince Du"?

At this time, a figure wearing a green scholar's robe, a square scarf, and a tall and handsome figure walked out of the tofu shop.

Du Heng walked out of the store and stood with his hands behind his back, with a demeanor and calm attitude.

In the eyes of the onlookers, I felt inexplicably... Du Heng really had the charm of a handsome young man.

"Zeng Heihu?"

Du Heng stopped on the steps at the door of the store, his eyes fell on Zeng Heihu, and he asked in a faint tone.

"It's the villain!"

Zeng Heihu hurriedly kowtowed to Du Heng and answered respectfully.

"Where are you... making a fuss?"

Du Heng glanced at Zeng Heihu, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: Do you apologize for the crime with a thorn? You are cognizant of your appearance!

Sure enough, there are no idiots who can become big brothers in society. Those who don’t have enough brains will never survive now.

"The villain has no idea about Mount Tai and offended Mr. Du. This time I came to apologize to Mr. Du!"

Zeng Heihu kowtowed a few times, then held up a small box with both hands, raised it over his head, and presented it in front of Du Heng, "Please forgive me for your sins!"

"Apologize?"

Du Heng smiled and thought to himself: It depends on whether you have sincerity or not.

I reached out to take the wooden box and opened it to see... The top was Du Heng's transcript, and there was a stack of silver notes, a hundred taels per one, at least a dozen.

Hiss... This is very sincere!

"It is impossible to correct mistakes when you know them, but there is no greater good."

Du Heng closed the small box with a calm face, glanced at Zeng Heihu, and nodded slightly, "Since you already have the will to correct your mistakes, I will let you go!"

As he said that, Du Heng bounced his fingers and a sword energy whistled out.

The sharp and cold sword energy rose through the air and circled Zeng Heihu's body. The thorns tied to Zeng Heihu's back instantly turned into debris and drifted around.

"Thank you, Mr. Du, for being generous!"

Zeng Heihu felt relieved and quickly kowtowed respectfully to Du Heng.

Just now, when the sword energy was circling around his body, Zeng Heihu felt sharp blades wandering on his skin, and the fear in his heart was simply unspeakable.

This sword energy is both forgiveness and the most direct warning. If you have any mistakes in the branch, it is... death is imminent.

"Let's give up this matter, let's go!"

Du Heng waved his hand and sent Zeng Heihu down.

"Yes! Thank you Mr. Du for being generous and generous, the villain took his leave!"

Zeng Heihu kowtowed a few more times before he got up and left.

This level... has finally passed!

After wiping the cold sweat on his head, Zeng Heihu let out a long sigh, secretly glad in his heart.

Fortunately, Mr. Du is kind-hearted and not as cruel as those old gentry clans, and finally left me a way out.

After I apologized for such a confession today, Zeng Heihu was considered to be a ruined reputation. Whether it was in the gang or in the world, there must be many people who were dissatisfied with me.

But...it can be handled.

This time, I learned another lesson. If you are in the society and go to the world, you should give your highlights and not provoke people you can't afford to offend!

………………………………………

Du Heng returned to the store.

"Heng'er, the matter of the Heihu Gang... has been resolved?"

Du’s father and mother surrounded him together, with a little nervous expression.

"Solved!"

Du Heng smiled and raised the box in his hand, "This is Zeng Heihu's apology. From now on, the Heihu Gang will borrow a hundred courages and will not dare to provoke our family."

"Brother is the most amazing! Even Zeng Heihu has to come to the door to kowtow and apologize."

My sister Du Wei cheered, and her eyes looked at Du Heng full of admiration.

"That's!"

Du Heng nodded with a smile, reached out and opened the small box, "This is the money Zeng Heihu lost. Mom, please take it away!"

"oh!"

Du's mother came forward to take the box, picked it up and looked at it, her hand trembled, and she burst into an exclaim: "Ah? This... so much money?"

Du's father also turned his head and looked over, and saw a stack of silver notes in the box, a hundred taels per one, at least a dozen.

"One thousand eight hundred taels."

Du Heng had already counted in secret, "Zeng Heihu is quite sincere!"

"One thousand eight hundred taels? This... is too much!"

Du’s father and mother were full of panic, and they all felt that the money was a bit hot.

The common people’s family actually has such a large sum of money. This is not a good thing, but a disaster!

"Dad, mom, don't worry!"

Du Heng pointed to the report card in the box, "With this result, our family's status is no longer the same. It's not an ordinary commoner who can bully at will!"

"What's more,... two months later, it will be a county exam. With my current strength, it will not be difficult to pass the county exam. At that time, I will become a scholar, and our family will be a gentry!"

Du Heng smiled all over his face, "Dad, mom, sister, you have to learn to adapt, our family... is different!"

As he was talking, a neighbor aunt walked in at the door of the shop.

"Old Du, where are your whole family here?"

Aunt Wang from the neighbor said hello with a smile on his face and walked into the store, "I heard that Mr. Zeng came to your house to kowtow and apologize? Lao Du, what are you climbing to the high branch?"

"There is no high branch!"

Du’s father was honest and picked up Du Heng’s transcript and handed it over, “Isn’t it just… My son was lucky enough to get the second place in the academy, and his grades were pretty sloppy!”

"The second academy?"

Aunt Wang, the neighbor, looked surprised and her eyes fell on the report card.

Although Aunt Wang can’t recognize many words, she still knows the two words “second”!

This kid Du Heng actually got the second place in the academy?

Hasn’t he always only received more than 200? Didn’t he even get the graduation certificate of the academy? How did he get second place in the exam?

Even if Aunt Wang has no knowledge, she knows that the second grade in the academy is amazing. This is the result of being able to pass the county exam and become a scholar.

When Du Heng came back, he met him on the way. I said he was "not this material". Now... he is about to become a scholar!

Aunt Wang shivered all over and hurriedly bowed to Du Heng, "I've seen Mr. Du!"
