Chapter 128: The Extreme of Rudeness (Part II)
How rude? Where is it rude? Zhang Sishi didn't react for a while, what did Fan Hongdao mean by this sentence that suddenly appeared. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
If his attitude is a bit condescending, it is not unreasonable, but this is the confidence of the Zhang family in Puzhou. But to be rude is a bit of an overkill.
Fan Hongdao raised his chin and asked arrogantly: "You Zhang Sishi is just a student of Puzhou Prefecture School, and you are here to deliver a letter for your brother." Then ask me again, dare to ask your brother Zhang Fengpan what position he is living in?"
"Of course it is" Zhang Si was only halfway through his words, and found that he couldn't go on. Everyone regards his eldest brother Zhang Siwei as the first assistant, but the reality is that his eldest brother does not have any position at all now!
Of course, officials Ding Wei must resign from all positions when he goes home to guard the system, and Zhang Siwei is no exception. It is impossible to go back to his hometown to mourn while hanging on the rank of university scholar.
So strictly speaking, today's Zhang Siwei's political identity is actually just a squire with a reputation for being a jinshi, and he may enjoy some special treatment, but after all, he does not have an official position.
However, others think that Zhang Siwei is about to recover and become the first assistant again, so they treat Zhang Siwei as the first assistant.
At the end of the day, it's human affection. As long as others regard Zhang Siwei as the first assistant, they will naturally treat Zhang Siwei with the attitude of the first assistant. But what if someone, like Fan Hongdao, doesn't treat Zhang Siwei as the first assistant?
Fan Hongdao slapped the table again and scolded sharply: "A gentleman who has returned to his hometown to live in the place dares to shout at the procuratorate office!"
In particular, if you dare to summon the superintendent of the imperial history in such a condescending tone, you dare to say that it is not extremely rude! In your Zhang family, is this how the steward speaks to the master!"
Zhang Sishi is a relatively talkative person in the Zhang family, otherwise he would not have been sent by his eldest brother Zhang Siwei to deliver the letter, which is to take into account the complexity of the answer here.
But now, Zhang Sishi was choked by Fan Hongdao and couldn't speak, and he could only stare at him subconsciously.
Speaking of which, the Zhang family has always been the prime minister, and he has always been the first assistant brother to communicate with the outside world, and he is also used to this situation. And no one else will refuse to admit this identity, and no one will be so blind.
Now that he suddenly met a person who didn't regard his brother Zhang Siwei as the first assistant at all, Zhang Siwei suddenly found that he had nothing to do.
Is this Fan Hongdao really stupid or fake? Is it interesting to chew on words in such details? Doesn't he know that his eldest brother is about to return to Beijing?
At that time, according to the rules of the river (temple) and lake (hall), even the current Shoufu Shen Shixing will also give way! Now the mouth cannon is cool for a while, and it can only be crematorium for the whole family in the future!
More excessive things are still to come, Fan Hongdao suddenly picked up the letter and threw it back directly, "As for this letter, the procuratorate will not accept it! If Zhang Fengpan really has a sincere meeting, please write another letter that matches his identity!"
Zhang Sishi finally became furious, how could their Zhang family in Puzhou have been so scorned in the past ten years! He stood up and roared: "Bold little guy! How dare you be so rude!"
Fan Hongdao snorted disdainfully: "Speaking of rudeness, if you pee yourself and look in the mirror, your Zhang family will not be rude?"
Zhang Sishi also retorted: "Your procuratorate detained my third brother without authorization, and our Zhang family came to communicate and negotiate with good intentions, where is it rude?"
Fan Hongdao sneered a few times, "Are you embarrassed to ask? From the tone of the letter to your attitude, where is it not rude?"
Zhang Sishi shouted: "No matter how rude our Zhang family is, it will not be more rude than you! There is no reason to directly return my brother's letter and call my brother by his name in person!"
Fan Hongdao continued to sneer again and again, "Will I be more rude than you? Your Zhang family's style, from Zhang Sijiao to your Zhang Sishi, to Zhang Siwei's letters, is the most rude person I have ever seen!"
After a few rounds of lip lawsuits, Zhang Sishi felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, but he was still holding on. "That's definitely not as rude as you!"
Fan Hongdao seemed to be provoked by Zhang Sishi, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Since you have said so, then I will be rude to show you!"
Then Fan Hongdao quickly grabbed the teacup and slammed it to the ground! With a crisp sound, the four servants immediately flashed in.
Zhang Sishi was taken aback, but could it be that he encountered the scene in the novel where "the cup was smashed and the axe hand flashed"? Fortunately, the four officers had no blades in their hands.
Then I heard Fan Hongdao order: "Take it down! Hit ten boards, and then drive out of the government office!"
Ten strokes is not a heavy responsibility, and there is no problem under normal circumstances, but it is extremely humiliating, which is not acceptable to Zhang Sishi.
"I am a student member of the state, how can I be humiliated by the hands of a sword and pen officer!" Zhang Sishi protested angrily.
This is a problem, the government can not use the punishment of people with meritorious fame, and must first ask the academic official to deprive them of their fame, which is a basic principle of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning, Fan Hongdao also relied on this principle to argue with Zhou County, Daxing County, but Zhou Countycheng still adopted a flexible method.
It's a pity that these workarounds don't apply at the moment, Fan Hongdao angrily tore up Zhang Siwei's letter, threw it on Zhang Sishi's face, and scolded: "I won't read this letter, and Lord Gao won't go to see Zhang Fengpan! But you can go back and tell Zhang Fengpan that if you want to see the master of the procuratorate, please meet in Jiezhou City in two days!"
Zhang Sishi took off the shredded paper from his face, held it up and signaled to Fan Hongdao: "Or are you more rude!"
Fan Hongdao waved his hand, and the four messengers set up Zhang Sishi, and then carried it out of the procuratorate and threw it outside the gate.
Then Fan Hongdao turned to the back hall and went to report to Gao Yushi. Old Yushi heard Fan Hongdao step on the Zhang family's face again, and the feeling of worry lingered, "Can you do this?"
"Nothing can't be done. Fan Hongdao said calmly: "Even if we all lose later, we still have at least a letter written by Zhang Sijiao to Yanyunsi in our hands, as well as a letter of guarantee written by Feng Yunjiao about Zhang Sijiao."
As long as these two pieces of ironclad evidence are in place and then handed over to the capital, there will be irrefutable that the Zhang family colluded with the officials and businessmen of the Salt Transportation Department to embezzle national interests! Naturally, some people in the capital will take advantage of this to attack Zhang Siwei.
From this point of view, it does mean that he is invincible, and Fan Hongdao certainly does not pin all his hopes on predicting the future with his golden finger.
Gao Yushi had thought about this a long time ago, which was why he supported Fan Hongdao to continue gambling, but he wanted to get further confirmation from Fan Hongdao.
The old Yushi turned to ask: "You opened your mouth and decided to solve the city of Jiezhou in two days, will Zhang Siwei come?"
"Who knows? It depends on the situation, anyway, we must not show weakness and go to Puzhou. Fan Hongdao is not very sure.
In fact, Fan Hongdao had a more doubtful question in his heart, he cursed Zhang Siwei in the capital and would be punished by heaven, and the news should also reach the Zhang family. But judging from the performance of Zhang Sijiao and Zhang Sishi, it doesn't look like they know about it.
