Chapter 25: The Storm
On the second day, not only Liucheng County was spreading rumors about Meng Yi, but even several surrounding counties began to have rumors!
Black Wind Mountain has killed countless people over the years, and has done many evils, and is naturally hated by the people, many of whom have life and death grudges, and at this moment I heard that the famous Black Wind War Horse was broken by Meng Yi, and immediately made people happy, and some people even prayed for Meng Yi at home, bless him with a long life!
However, some people compare Meng Yi to a three-headed and six-armed demon god, holding a sword, spear, sword and halberd in his palm, and his strength is infinite, otherwise how can he fight a hundred horsemen?
There are also mothers who say that Meng Yi was born with a blue face and fangs, and he is a messenger of punishment sent by God to punish the wicked, if the child is disobedient, he will be found by Meng Yi, and the result is that the child is scared to cry in the middle of the night!
This market is very lively, and the upper class society is naturally not idle. However, their messages are more accurate and faster!
At the beginning, it was around a topic, that Meng Yi was just a weak scholar, why did he suddenly have such the power of ghosts and gods?
When these people are curious, there are naturally people who work hard to find the truth for them. It didn't take long for a piece of news to make earth-shattering waves!
Meng Yi comprehended the 'Haoran Righteousness'!
As soon as this news came out, Liucheng County and several surrounding counties seemed to have an eight-magnitude earthquake, which shocked many families and clans, and called it impossible!
In addition, compared to the shock of the family, another group is like a tsunami, setting off a monstrous wave, these people have walked out of the house, gathered in the major restaurants to talk!
They all have the same identity, that is, they are all 'readers'!
In a luxury restaurant, a group of white-clothed scholars were discussing fiercely, one by one, their faces were red, some were dancing, and some were crazy!
At a table near the window, several young people who looked quite stable sat around!
"Brother Zhou, that Meng Yi has comprehended Haoran's righteousness, is this true?"
The faces of the people at the table were solemn and their hearts were swaying!
That Zhou's surnamed Gongzi said: "There is indeed this kind of news, and it also alarmed the elders of the family to hold a secret meeting!"
"So, that's true?"
The prince surnamed Zhou shook his head, "Everyone, this matter still needs to be cautious! That Haoran righteousness can only be mastered by the great Confucians of the court, how can a young man like me be?"
"Brother Zhu, I heard that you know that Meng Yi, tell everyone!"
The young man surnamed Zhu put away the folding fan in his hand, nodded and said: "I do know Meng Yi, before I was admitted to Xiucai's fame, I was still a classmate with him, and we studied in a private school in Liucheng County for a few years!"
"How old is he?"
"It's about the same as me!"
A shopkeeper came over on the side, "A few talented people, the few delicacies you ordered have been prepared!"
A few people were eating and chatting, and suddenly there was a commotion on the street outside the building!
"What's wrong?" several people looked out the window!
The other scholars in the restaurant also ran to the window in a hurry, and looked down together!
"Lady, don't stop me!" A scholar carried a cage on his back, looking like he was going to travel far away, and his beautiful wife was desperately stopping him from leaving!
"Xianggong, there are many bandits on the road, you can't come back if you go!" The woman was gentle, with black hair like a waterfall, and a graceful figure, and at this moment Chu Chu begged for her husband!
"No, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I must seize it!" the scholar pushed his wife away and stubbornly wanted to leave!
Zhou Hong's face was shocked, "What is this person crazy about? Why don't you even want such a beautiful girl? Where is this going?"
"Song Fu, Song Fu, hurry down and ask what's going on!" Zhu Xuezheng called his own servants!
"Yes, young master, I'll go now!" the servant hurriedly ran down the restaurant to inquire what was going on!
After a while, the servant ran up panting, "Young master, I have inquired clearly, the scholar said that he was going to find Meng Yi of Mengjiabao, and he was still thinking about worshipping under the door of Menggongzi, don't you think it's crazy?"
When a table of people heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other!
The Jiang family is a well-known wealthy family in Liucheng County, surrounded by pink walls and green willows!
Jiang Guangzu, the head of the Jiang family, was lying leisurely in his garden, with servants waiting to serve him tea and water!
"Master, the news is true, that Meng Yi did kill Luo Qianhu's nephew!" an old servant stood with his hands hanging on the side and said softly!
Jiang Guangzu took a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I still want to recruit this son as a son-in-law!"
The old servant also nodded in agreement, "I have comprehended Haoran's righteousness at such a young age, if I don't die in the future, I can't say that I will be a Confucian-level figure, if Miss marries him, it will not be considered an insult to Miss, but it's a pity that this son is too impulsive and provokes people who shouldn't be provoked!"
While the two were talking, a woman hurriedly walked in with a few maids, and after seeing Jiang Guangzu on the Taishi's chair, the woman yelled and scolded: "You dead ghost can still sit still, why don't you send someone to Mengjiabao to tell me about my relatives!"
"Say kiss?" Jiang Guangzu was stunned for a moment, then lost his laughter, pointed at his wife and scolded: "Women's opinion!"
The woman stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Guangzu's ears, opened her mouth and scolded: "It's against you, my daughter can say, if Meng Yi doesn't marry, she is still in the boudoir to die or live!"
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! let go of me!" Jiang Guangzu hurriedly begged for mercy, and the old servant on the side waved his hand and signaled the others to avoid!
After the group retreated, Jiang Guangzu smiled bitterly: "Madam, this son is indeed good, but you don't know that this son has already broken into a catastrophe, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be in a different place, you don't want your daughter to be widowed all day long just after she got married, right?"
"Widow?" the woman was startled, and Jiang Guangzu continued to explain the cause and effect of the matter to her, and after the woman listened, she waved her hand again and again, "Then forget it, where can we afford to provoke the thousands of households in the county town!"
The yamen of the county government of Liucheng County, the county magistrate of Liucheng County is an old man who is close to the age of sixties, sitting in the study at the moment, staring and reading hard!
"My lord, the bandits in Mengjiabao should be meritorious, and besides, you are a good leader, if you report it, you will have to record a great merit!"
Hearing this, the county magistrate took his eyes off the book, glanced at the master meaningfully, and said, "Mingjie, do you know that I will go home in a few months, and at this juncture, I still don't want to regenerate right and wrong!"
"My lord......!" The master wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by the county order waving his hand, "Don't mention this matter again!"
The master was unwilling, but he was scolding his mother in his heart, you are going to be a minister, but I am different, when the new county commander takes office, if I can't get decent results, I'm afraid I will have to say goodbye to the county yamen!
"My lord, there is one more thing you can't leave alone!" said the master!
"Oh, what's the matter?" the county commander looked at him, a little impatient!
"Adults may not know, because of the Meng Yi thing, there are many scholars in the county today who want to leave for Mengjiabao, among which there are many famous talents, but there are many bandits on the way, if something happens, it is a big deal, adults need to be careful!"
"Is there such a thing?" the county magistrate put down the books in his hand, and he also had a little headache, what the master said was right, if so many scholars had an accident together, the first one in the county town would not let him go!
