When Xie Pinggang first arrived in the capital, someone said something unpleasant. He could not help but beat that person up.
Due to that matter, he could not go to the Royal Academy to "make money". That was secondary. The most important thing was that from then on, his rudeness made scholars loathe him.
To put it more seriously, even in the imperial court, those civil officials would be prejudiced because of this matter.
"If you put it that way, it seems to make sense." Xie Pinghuai nodded. "Back then, I clearly went to the brothel with a few people, but those people pretended to be good to me, but behind my back, they actually let the procuress humiliate me, making me a laughingstock..."
Later on, he also fought with those people a few times, and on a few occasions, he also made them cry for their parents, so it could be considered as revenge.
However... Only when he beat them up was he happy.
