The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 177 The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony Ends, Cao Cao is Rescued

"??"

Everyone present was attracted by the voice and turned to look at the owner of the voice.

Under everyone's gaze, Fang Mu slowly walked out of the crowd with a token in his hand.

"Student Fang, do you have any questions? Or do you have any doubts about the judgment made by me, the great principal?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Fang Mu walking out of the crowd and suddenly had a bad premonition. Although the token in the other party's hand was unfamiliar, Dong Zhuo could still see the leader certification on the token with his own eyes.

"By order of the Minister of Teaching and Discipline Inspection, specially appointed by the Alliance Leader of the entire school, all supervisory committee members present must obey!"

Fang Mu turned his head to look at the six school-wide alliance supervisory committee members sitting under the eaves. When the six of them saw the token in Fang Mu's hand, they were so scared that they quickly stood up from their seats.

"Please...what can I do for you?"

"We are investigating the case of Li Ru and Mei Niang from the Eastern Han Academy suspected of cheating in the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. According to the campus self-government law, they must be executed without mercy!"

"This……"

The six supervisory committee members looked at each other, and then looked at Dong Zhuo with very apologetic eyes. Although Dong Zhuo was powerful now and had given them many benefits before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began, they immediately surrendered under the majesty of the Minister of Discipline Inspection. After all, no matter how much money one had, one had to have a life to spend it. If they did not serve the Minister of Discipline Inspection well, their official positions would be in jeopardy!

"Where is the law enforcement team?"

The leading supervisory committee member shouted immediately, and a group of guards who were also armed rushed out from outside the celebration square, pointing their guns directly at Dong Zhuo's guards.

"Since this is the order of the Minister of Discipline, I dare not disobey. Come, arrest Li Ru and Mei Niang and hand them over to Fang Mu for handling! As for Cao Cao, since he drew the white ball, he is deemed not guilty and will be released on the spot!"

Dong Zhuo had a gloomy face. He really didn't expect that Fang Mu actually had the token of the Minister of Discipline Inspection. The Minister of Discipline Inspection was a teaching supervision agency suddenly established by the leader half a year ago. It was directly responsible to the leader and had the power to supervise all members of the alliance in the whole school. All members of the alliance in the whole school were not allowed to disobey his orders!

"Take them away and throw them both into the prison!"

Looking at Li Ru and Mei Niang who were escorted by the law enforcement team, Fang Mu said in a cold voice, but Li Ru and Mei Niang were like ants falling into water, trying to grab the last straw and shouting frantically at Dong Zhuo.

"Great Principal, please save me!"

"Father-in-law, I'm Li Ru!"

"Lord Dong Zhuo, you must save me!"

"Father-in-law, I don't want to die!"

……

As the cries for help from the two gradually faded away, the scene fell into an extremely awkward situation. Dong Zhuo's face became extremely gloomy, and he immediately turned around and left the scene. However, Wang Yun was smiling at this moment. His principal's mailbox had been filled with letters of complaint about Li Ru and Mei Niang for some time. It was really encouraging that the two of them could get the punishment they deserved.

Finally, with the comfort of Principal Wang Yun, the students happily left the square, and on the way out, they discussed what Principal Wang Yun said about the anniversary celebration of the Eastern Han Academy to be held in a week.

……

……

"This time it's really all thanks to Fang Mu and Miss Sun!"

Cao Cao cupped his hands and bowed to Fang Mu and Sun Shangxiang, who quickly helped him up.

"President, you're too polite! You've helped us so much before, so it's only right that we help you!"

Fang Mu waved his hand and said.

"That's right, President Cao, you don't have to be so polite. I saved you because your father asked my father for help. In fact, we are just exchanging interests!"

As children of aristocratic families, Sun Shangxiang and Cao Cao naturally understood the principle of asking others for favors, and they tacitly did not mention anything about the exchange of interests.

"Anyway, this time I have to thank you all, especially Brother Fang. I never thought you were the disciplinary inspector specially appointed by the school alliance leader. You must have had a hard time hiding this from us!"

Cao Cao's words were suggestive, and to the Five Tigers, who were devoted to martial arts, it sounded fine, but to the smart people, they heard a hidden meaning.

"There's no other way, President. The disciplinary inspection officials won't allow me to reveal his identity. If he hadn't contacted me suddenly, I wouldn't have been able to show him his token and save you! However, since you were able to escape death this time, you must treat us to a good meal. Otherwise, I'll be sorry for exposing my identity!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Cao Cao quickly agreed to Fang Mu's request, and then ordered his servants to ask the kitchen to prepare a dinner, saying that it was to celebrate his escape from the crisis and to thank Fang Mu and Sun Shangxiang for their great help.

……

"Wow, it's so rich!"

At dinner time, the Five Tiger Generals and Xiu arrived one after another. Then, as the protagonists of this dinner, Cao Cao, Fang Mu, and Sun Shangxiang finally arrived. Zhang Fei looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"That's right. In the past, even during Chinese New Year, my family couldn't eat so many dishes!"

"Thanks to the president, Fang Mu, and Miss Sun, it looks like we're in for a treat tonight!"

Huang Zhong and Ma Chao also sighed.

"Everyone, please feel free to sit down. There are still many dishes to come. We won't leave until we are drunk tonight!"

Cao Cao opened the champagne for everyone, first pouring a glass for Fang Mu and Sun Shangxiang, and then filling the glasses for Xiu and the Five Tiger Generals.

"cheers!!!!!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in them. As for Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao, they drank the juice airlifted in by Cao's troops, claiming that they could not hold their liquor, and also celebrated with everyone.

"Fang Mu, there's something I don't understand about the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. Could you please explain it to me?"

Sun Shangxiang swallowed the food in her mouth, then put down her knife and fork and looked at Fang Mu with a curious look.

"you say!"

"How did you know that Dong Zhuo would suddenly change the way of drawing lots, and how did you help Cao Cao accurately draw the white ball?"

After hearing Ah Xiang's words, the others also looked at Fang Mu. It was obvious that they also wanted to know the reason.

"Well, the question is very simple!"

Fang Mu took a napkin from the plate held by the waiter beside him and wiped his mouth, then spoke slowly.

"Dong Zhuo is a sinister and cunning man, and Ah Xiang, your reputation is well-known throughout Jiangdong. A little inquiry would reveal your deeds. Dong Zhuo also hates the president to the core and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. So if anyone approaches the confinement room where the president is, I don't believe he would be unaware of it!"

Fang Mu's words made Sun Shangxiang nod repeatedly, while Cao Cao on the side had a look of certainty on his face.

"Ever since Dong Zhuo entered the Eastern Han Academy, he has always regarded me and my brothers as thorns in his side. It is very likely that he has spies around me!"

Cao Cao looked at Sun Shangxiang again.

"If Dong Zhuo hadn't changed the lottery method, Miss Sun's method would have been a stroke of genius. It seems Miss Sun is truly gifted and talented. This is why she scared Dong Zhuo into changing his plans overnight. I admire you!"

Cao Cao bowed to Sun Shangxiang.

"Thank you, Miss Sun!"

The Five Tiger Generals also bowed their heads, and Cao Cao's benefactor could be considered their benefactor.

"Oh, don't keep calling me Miss Sun, Miss Sun. Just call me "A Xiang" like Fang Mu did!"

Ah Xiang quickly waved her hand and said, then looked at Fang Mu and asked again.

"Then how did you help the president successfully obtain the white ball?"

Fang Mu smiled calmly, then looked at everyone and said.

"Actually, I don't know how Dong Zhuo will change the lottery method, but one thing I can be sure of is this: Dong Zhuo definitely doesn't want Cao Cao to live!"

Fang Mu looked at Cao Cao and continued.

"So I'm betting. I'm betting that Li Ru and Mei Niang will definitely follow Dong Zhuo's plan and make the president draw the death lottery with a 100% probability, thus completely eliminating the president as an obstacle! As it turns out, I'm very lucky. I guessed right!"

"During the drawing process, Brother Fang used a unique technique called 'Sound Wave Gong'. He told me the method through voice transmission and then asked me to stay in the box to understand its structure. That's how Brother Fang figured out the solution!"

(The "Sound Wave Power" here is a lie that Fang Mu told Cao Cao to believe in order to counter the "Sound Transmission Technique". Fang Mu claimed that this move was a family secret technique.)

"That's amazing, but how did Li Ru cheat?"

Huang Zhong clapped his hands.

"The principle is actually very simple. There's a secret compartment in the box. With the white ball hidden, and the interior of the box painted black, there's nothing unusual to see or touch. It wasn't until the guild leader told me that the bottom of the box felt strange that I finally understood its structure. Finally, I had the guild leader poke a hole in the bottom and take out the hidden white ball!"
