Chapter 142 I didn't expect him to be so afraid of dying too.
After leaving the store, Zheng Luoqi instructed Boyu to send someone to keep an eye on Lin Qianning and Guo Yashi, fearing that Young Master Shen might resort to underhanded tactics.
After all, the young master Shen they offended seemed to be someone who liked to use underhanded tricks, so they still had to be careful.
Bo Yu accepted the order and immediately sent people to follow.
Sure enough, a few days later, some suspicious people began to follow Lin Qianning and Guo Yashi.
Before those people could make a move, they were eliminated by Zheng Luoqi's men.
Shen Xiuqi was furious when he received the news, but he still couldn't find out who did it.
Shen Xiuqi originally intended to send someone to secretly scare Lin Qianning. After all, Lin Qianning was the second young lady of the Lin family, so he couldn't go too far. He could only send some hooligans to tease her and make that self-righteous young lady afraid to go out these days. Unexpectedly, this plan was ruined.
"If he finds out who did it, I'll teach him a lesson," Shen Xiuqi thought to himself.
As for Guo Yashi, Shen Xiuqi wanted to forcibly bring her back to his mansion and humiliate her severely, making her regret looking down on him in the past.
As a result, both things fell through. "Who? Who was it? Damn it!" Shen Xiuqi was furious, but he couldn't remember when he had leaked the plan.
They could only swallow this bitter pill in silence.

"My lord, you guessed right, Shen Xiuqi did indeed make his move! The matter has been resolved!" Boyu reported respectfully.
"Shen Xiuqi, which family is he from again?" Zheng Luoqi racked her brains but couldn't recall any court officials with the surname Shen, so she asked in confusion.
"Yes, sir, he is the son of the Senior Cavalry Commandant!" Boyu replied respectfully.
"Ha! How dare a mere son of a cavalry captain be so arrogant in the capital?" Zheng Luoqi said disdainfully.
"Has Ye Churan made any moves lately?" Zheng Luoqi asked while busy with her official duties.
"Reporting to you, sir, we sent assassins several times before, but apart from injuring Ye Churan a little, they didn't cause any further damage. Ever since Zisang first went to test her, Ye Churan has become very vigilant. She even sleeps in different rooms every night instead of the same one."
"Moreover, the Ye family now has many more guards patrolling, and not only that, the Ye family has also found a martial arts master to oversee things."
“We sent someone to test that expert, and his martial arts are indeed formidable. He should be able to hold his own against you, sir!” Boyu said.
"Oh, is that so? I didn't expect Ye Churan to be so afraid of death! Have you found out who that expert is?" Zheng Luoqi continued to ask.
"Reporting to you, sir, we haven't yet found out his background, but we can confirm that he's a member of the martial arts world. However, we don't know his relationship with Ye Churan. It's possible that he was just hired to protect Ye Churan," Boyu replied.
Zheng Luoqi frowned: "It seems that Ye Churan is becoming more and more difficult to deal with. I need to find a way to get rid of this trouble and investigate the background of that martial arts figure."
Boyu nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I will send someone to investigate immediately."
Zheng Luoqi waved his hand: "Go down first, and while you're at it, go and call Zisang and Jingyu to me."
"Yes!" Boyu respectfully withdrew.
Soon after, Zi Sang and He Jinyu arrived at Zheng Luoqi's study.
"What business does Your Excellency have with me?" He Jinyu asked.
"I'll take you out for a stroll!" Zheng Luoqi said casually.
"Huh? Go shopping?" He Jinyu and Zisang exchanged a glance, completely bewildered, wondering what their adult was planning.
"Let's go!" Zheng Luoqi strode out of the study and headed outside, with He Jinyu and the other person quickly following.
Soon, Zheng Luoqi took them to the Imperial College.
Previously, He Jinyu was highly regarded by Ye Churan. After Ye Churan was promoted, she did not forget to help He Jinyu and let him take over her previous position as Director of the Imperial Academy. However, after learning that He Jinyu was working for Zheng Luoqi, He Jinyu was removed from his position as Director of the Imperial Academy.
When Zheng Luoqi found out, she sent He Jinyu to the position of Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy, which made Ye Churan furious, but Ye Churan just couldn't do anything about Zheng Luoqi.
Therefore, He Jinyu is now living a very successful life at the Imperial Academy. No one dares to give him a hard time. Moreover, with He Jinyu at the Imperial Academy, it is even easier for him to monitor the sons of powerful and wealthy families.
While at the Imperial College, one could observe which of the sons of powerful and wealthy individuals were capable and useful. Conversely, it was easier to use these sons of powerful and wealthy individuals to blackmail political enemies.
These privileged children are already under our noses; it's only a matter of time before we find something to hold against them.
Zheng Luoqi soon arrived at the racecourse inside the Imperial College.
Among the Six Arts of a Gentleman, archery and charioteering are two skills that can reveal which sons of noble families are better at martial arts and are more suitable to become military officials in the future.
What Zheng Luoqi currently lacks are military officers as subordinates. Zheng Luoqi thought Quan Yuyuan was quite good. As the son of the Prince of Huainan, he was only seriously injured when facing the assassins sent by Wen Taiwei, and he was still able to keep his life. He must be quite skilled in martial arts.
Zheng Luoqi had also observed Quan Yuyuan carefully. He was just a child at heart, and his character wasn't bad, but he was a bit narcissistic and overly confident in himself.
Quan Yuyuan has now arrived at the Imperial Academy. I heard that he is doing very well there. In the recent summer examinations, he won first place in both archery and horsemanship.
Zheng Luoqi came here today to see if Quan Yuyuan is any good, how skilled he is in martial arts, whether he has the qualities to be a general, and whether he has the demeanor of the Prince of Huainan.
Quan Yuyuan and Boyu had fought before, but neither of them went all out because it was at a banquet. Today, they didn't bring Boyu, but they brought Zisang, so they could test Quan Yuyuan's abilities.
If it's truly usable, we could recruit it into our camp.
Zheng Luoqi sat directly in the main seat at the Imperial College racecourse. At this time, many students from the Imperial College had already arrived. Zheng Luoqi had calculated the time precisely, as there would be a royal horse race during this period, and she had come specifically to watch.
Quan Yuyuan was among them.
Zheng Luoqi also brought He Jinyu along, hoping he would make the horse racing competition more challenging for the students, since he was the Director of Studies at the Imperial Academy.
The students were quite surprised when they arrived at the racecourse, wondering why there were so many things there today.
Even a regular horse race isn't that complicated; there are so many more targets and obstacles.
At this moment, some students noticed Zheng Luoqi sitting in the main seat of the spectator section of the racecourse: "Look, who is that? She looks so familiar!"
At this moment, Quan Yuyuan noticed Zheng Luoqi in the stands as soon as he arrived at the racecourse. He realized that Zheng Luoqi was looking at him and thought that Zheng Luoqi was provoking him, so Quan Yuyuan glared back defiantly.
