Chapter 166: I'm a Plasterer

The night breeze is lonely. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info on the Xiangjiang River in the autumn night, the wind is already very cool. The girl stood on the deck, looking at the stars in the sky, listening to the sound of the waves and rivers, and then looking at the man who was looking at the distance with her, her heart was like a country, undulating.

"I've read this confession, in fact, Jian Shoumei knew Zeng Guang a long time ago, everyone is just because they have all practiced martial arts, Zeng Guang's martial arts are higher, and he is a very good friend by instructing Jian Shoumei in kung fu. Of course, there is friendship, but if you say that you will rebel about it, you can't talk about it. The culprit who really made him collude with the thief was still King Ji. As Brother Fan foresaw, Zhu San pretended to be the prince of the world to rob people, but the genuine son of the world robbed women from good families and dirty people's innocence, and did too much. Even the gentry's wife, he wanted to get involved. ”

Fan Jin said: "Yes, Jian Shoumei has a good reputation in Changsha, she reduces rent for tenants on weekdays, and she has done rent-free relief in disaster years, and she is a well-known good person." Even if you go to Huang An's 'heavenly nest' and listen to He Xinyin's lectures, and believe in the doctrine that all flesh and blood can be relatives, at most they will be bankrupt, and they will not rebel like now. What really drove him to the point of no return was the prince of King Ji. When I met Shan when I was in the suburbs, I never forgot it, and I didn't look at what I looked like, black and fat, and thought that Shan would like him to have an affair with him. If you can't hook up, you will play hard, and you can buy the nun to drugged, although Shan is very shrewd and did not get hit, but at that point, there are actually few roads left for their husband and wife. ”

Zhang also sighed, "Yes, this is the vassal king, this is the clan of the Ming Dynasty." While talking about the surname Zhu of the country, he was doing things that destroyed his foundation, and in the end, he did what he did with them. ”

"In the final analysis, this kind of thing is far from qualifying for expulsion. Even if he really went to the street to arrest women into the house, as long as he didn't provoke big shots, he wouldn't really be punished severely. At most, there will be one more conviction in the future, and it will not be possible to deal with it as a major crime. What's more, King Ji's father and son are very cautious, and the woman they are looking for can also be caught by themselves. After all, Jian Shoumei is just a celebrity and does not have too good fame, this kind of thing is more embarrassing, how can he make trouble? If it makes a big fuss, it is nothing more than to compensate him for some silver taels, and he can't do it if he wants to be the father and son of King Ji. But for the person concerned, when such a thing happened, the court could not make the decision for him, and he had resentment in his heart. ”

Fan Jin took a step and was a little closer to Zhang's, but it was not enough to defend the distance, so the other party naturally did not tend to avoid it, but because he was interested in this topic, he was slightly closer.

"Everyone has such a thing as resentment, and it doesn't matter if it can be dissipated in time. But if you can't let the resentment come out, it will accumulate and be stuffy in your heart. Most people will have some resentment in their hearts, such as a woman being beaten by her husband, a child being beaten by a child who is stronger than themselves, a man not making money, and a scholar not being able to get famous...... A lot of cases, most of the time it doesn't matter. But once the resentment accumulates too much, there will be problems. There is also a possibility, that is, when there is a channel that makes people think that they have found a way to vent their grievances, and the grievances are really big enough, they often don't care whether this channel is right or wrong, and choose it first. Zeng Guang's appearance is such a channel, the reason why Jian Shoumei let the rich man be a thief is to breathe a sigh of relief in the final analysis. ”

"They are in one breath, Song Chongli and Zhu San are also in one breath, this breath...... It's amazing. It almost overturned Changsha. The girl sighed and said, "If it weren't for Brother Fan, they wouldn't know what it would be like when they had this breath." ”

"It's useless to have me, it's not enough to suppress this breath just this time, and you have to continue to find a way to let them find a formal channel. Zeng Guang was originally a martial arts practitioner, and the way to get angry was nothing more than to cut it with a big knife, and he was happy to take revenge. But then they actually learned to rebel, and this is what these lecturers should blame. The three brothers of Huang An's Geng family, who are both great Confucians and officials, rich and powerful, receive the disciples of the Quartet Heart School in their own home to provide food and drink, and let them lecture, because Geng Dinglun is called Mr. Tiantai, so their residence is also called 'Tianwo'. This was originally my own business, and it was not easy for others to interfere. But what they say is too biased, so we have to be vigilant and not let them do whatever they want. ”

The girl looked at Fan Jin, and this time she took the initiative to get closer to Fan Jin. "Brother Fan, you are making this confession just to attack them, right? You should know how prestigious He Xinyin is now in Huguang and even in the southeast. If you offend him, even if your reputation is bad in Shilin, the price you have to pay will be too great. The little sister has a Jinlan alliance with Brother Fan, but she still hopes that her brother will think twice and think more about himself. ”

"Thank you sister for your kind reminder, the foolish brother knows the difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it. These people have gone too far, and someone has to pull them back, otherwise the car will not know where they are pulling, and I don't know how many people will be smitten by them, and they will go astray without knowing it. Again, the time is too short, and the manpower is not enough, if I am given enough time, I will even have to knock and knock on the Tianwo. Although the three Geng brothers have official status, they are involved in a major rebellion case, and they want him to be immortal and peel off his skin. ”

"Geng Tiantai's official reputation is not evil, if Brother Fan is his enemy, I am afraid that there is nothing cheap."

"Not to be his enemy, just to give him some warnings and tell him not to go too far. Folk lectures are not a bad thing, after all, let the people understand more truths, and they will be able to have fewer rights and wrongs. It's better for everyone to like to read than to like to practice, which is a good thing and deserves praise. However, there must always be a limit to what is taught in a lecture. Since the Han Dynasty abolished Confucianism, there should be a direction and a scope for teaching, what can be said and what cannot be said, what should be said and what should not be said, and there should be a number in mind. ”

"In ancient times, there was not much population in total, and the so-called one country was like that. At this time, it was okay for the sage to say that everyone could be Yao Shun, after all, the country at that time was different from the country today, and the king at that time was not the son of heaven today. However, time has changed, and now, even the study of saints is not all suitable to talk about. Grandpa Hongwu cut off the people and said lightly, that is, to avoid people with bad brains, the drum pillar is glued, and this sentence is used to set Your Majesty. However, these lecturers did not have enough brains and did not know how to control the content of what they said, so they taught Zeng Guang and his group of people. ”

Zhang said: "Zeng Guang's confession hasn't been obtained yet, what he says, we can't be sure." It is difficult to crucify them purely from Shan's confession. ”

"Plus Zeng Guang's confession is useless, we can't nail anyone, but we can learn the truth from it. In fact, to be honest, the Geng family is very good at teaching, and He Xinyin is popular, in the final analysis, the official education is too bad. If it weren't for fame, I'm afraid there would be only a few people left in the official school. ”

Fan Jin shook his head, he himself had never attended an official school, but he was doing things by Ling Yunyi's side, and he still knew the content of Yu Guanxue's lectures. The Ming Dynasty is now entering an era of emphasizing enjoyment and life, and if the government school talks about preserving heavenly principles and destroying people's desires, it is tantamount to going against the people's life policy, and naturally cannot get the support of the people. In the Xinxue school, Yan Jun and Yan Shannong support human desire, and He Xinyin advocates contradicting his teacher and advocating abstinence, but also opposes desirelessness. Whichever of these two ideas is more in line with human nature than the desire to destroy people, and it will naturally be supported by the people.

Yan Jun's academic thoughts: the common people's daily use of the order, is the sage's order, compared to the official science of the high, the two are more popular is self-evident.

To put it simply, science is already somewhat out of touch with reality at this time, and there is no harm in learning in officialdom, but the common people cannot accept it. Mind science is more close to the people, but in terms of position, it is a bit uncertain.

According to Shan's confession, Zeng Guang liked the Mozi doctrine the most, and there was also a saying that the Son of Heaven was elected among the party members. He is a person who runs the rivers and lakes, even if he has studied, it is impossible for him to come into contact with ink studies. This kind of doctrine will only be instilled in him by the people who lecture in Tianwo, and Moxue is inherently dangerous, let alone taught to this group of people. Although this gang of thieves can't let Tianwo take responsibility, they also have to let them know that they can't talk about whatever they want, and they have to consider the influence and position before lecturing. Everyone wants to be the same in the world and wants to elect the Son of Heaven, is there still a place for my generation in this world? This kind of thing has nothing to do with right or wrong, but with a position, and if we want to protect ourselves, we can only stifle this trend of indiscriminate lectures. ”

"Moreover, the law used by Yuan Weng Bingzheng today is quite different from before. Most of the interests of the folk gentry and officials have been damaged, and there will definitely be some resistance. They don't dare to openly stand up and speak out against it, so they can only find ways to do it from other aspects. For example, when lecturing, they may take advantage of it. Offering some money and food to hire people to give lectures, the common people did not understand the reason, and only thought that what the scholars said was right, and the scholars opposed the new law and opposed Yuan Weng, so they followed suit. Over time, once this atmosphere is formed, Yuan Weng will face resistance from the people if he wants to implement the new policy. Either they are enemies of the people, or the new law is repealed, and the real enemies cannot be harmed. ”

Zhang listened attentively, looking at Fan Jin's face in the uncertain lights, seeing his preoccupied appearance, he always felt that at some moments, he was very much like his father. She asked, "What should Brother Fan think?" ”

"The easiest way is to prohibit private lectures, and abandon private education and return to government education. The form of lectures should be retained, but the venue should be changed from private to public. In this way, the content of the speech will be controllable, and it will be convenient to pursue accountability. If you allow people to give lectures, you will not be able to hold anyone accountable in the end. In Changsha, for example, Yuelu Academy can turn private into public, and all lecture content is decided by the government. Of course, the government must make a change and arrange a group of pedants to give lectures, and the people below have run out, but it still doesn't work. You have to learn from the people, learn how to make people love to listen to what you say, and you have to understand what the people want to hear. We can also say that as long as we get rid of those things that are rebellious, what is there to do? As far as I know, Yuan Weng is also a disciple of the heart. ”

The girl nodded and said: "Jia Yan studied under Xu Wenzhen, and he was also a disciple of the Taizhou school, and he was hidden with He Xin back then...... At that time, he was still called Liang Ruyuan, and he was a close friend. But after that, the two had little contact. Jia Yan once said that he was the most disgusted person in his life, and the reasons he said were similar to those of Brother Fan. Jiayan does not like people to use lectures to discuss the government and politics, saying that if this kind of atmosphere spreads, sooner or later it will be coerced by the Qing Dynasty, forming a situation in which the cadres are weak and the branches are strong, and the people are strong and the monarch is weak. This is absolutely unacceptable. However, the style of lecturing has been established, and it is necessary to prohibit lecturing. ”

Fan Jin nodded, and patted his hand lightly on the railing. "Of course I know how hard it is. So I can only come little by little, starting with He Xinyin. If you go against all the lecturers, it is more troublesome, and the main thing is time and resistance. But I only deal with He Xinyin, it's always more convenient. After all, he himself turned against his teacher, and I only stared at him, and there were few people who spoke for him. As for the credentials...... Shan's confession is enough. ”

"Even so, Brother Fan has to take a very serious risk, is it worth it?"

"It's worth it, it's worth it. An old house has lived for 200 years, and it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. Either it's windy here, or it's raining there. Some people want to demolish and rebuild, but they don't think about tossing it like this, what will happen to the people who originally lived in the house? Besides, demolishing a house will inevitably kill people, and it is better to die a few fewer if you can die less. So people who don't have a house and don't want to die always want to demolish the house, because they don't care about losing it, and now I have one foot in the house, of course, I think about how to keep it. Don't demolish or destroy, only tinker, where it's broken, where it's broken, where it's leaking, as long as it's good enough, you can make the house stay for a few more years, and your wish is enough. ”

"So, Brother Fan wants to be a pastemaker?"

Fan Jin shook his head and said: "Now there is a very good paster in this house, I am not qualified to do this, as long as I can give this paster a hand and be an apprentice." To be an apprentice, you must first be diligent and discerning, and some things that the master can't do or are inconvenient to do, as an apprentice has to do it. ”

"This paster is very strict, is Brother Fan sure to be a good apprentice?"

"Probably yes, when you are a pastemaker, you can't be afraid of bitterness, and you can't be afraid of dirty, I can do both of these."

Zhang smiled, didn't speak, and suddenly said: "Although He Xinyin is from Yan Jun's disciple, the content of the two lectures is quite different, and the little sister knows a little about her doctrine, Brother Fan, please listen." ”

。 The night was getting deeper, but the girl was not tired at all, and the maid came to urge her twice, but she reprimanded her back. Although she hadn't drunk any alcohol tonight, she felt so high that she could have an all-night talk.

A general came to the deck and whispered a few words, Zhang nodded, and said, "Then bring her up." He said to Fan Jin again: "The Shan family has decided, or choose a clean one to die, and is unwilling to distribute it to the official sale." ”

"Since she's decided, let's go with her will."

There was a sound of footsteps, and the Shan family, who was tied up with five flowers, was dragged onto the deck, and the child had been handed over to the maid to hold, she looked at Fan Jin, and then at Zhang, and smiled miserably: "Could it be ...... Does it have to be tonight? ”

"It doesn't have to be tonight, it's just that the more time passes, the more variables there are. There are a few men in Changsha who have thoughts about you, and if you stay on the ship for a long time, they may find a way to ask for someone. Do you think I'm going to dismiss those people's face for you? The result is still contrary to your intentions. Since you want to die clean, the sooner the better. Besides, there are many people on this boat, if they stay here for a long time, the lady will suffer some injuries that should not be suffered, but it will make Fan feel uneasy. ”

Shan Shi looked at Fan Jin, "Fan Gongzi, I thought you were a compassionate person, and I didn't want to be so vicious. ”

"Compassion...... If I had mercy, I wouldn't have killed more than 100,000 people in Luoshan. You didn't find out the information before, so you were unlucky. You can't get away with your father-in-law's capital crime, you go with him, and when you get down, remember to tell him that he first chose the wrong path, and then chose the wrong opponent. ”

"The concubine has written it down, but I don't know the ...... of the child"

"You can rest assured that I will arrange for the child to be sent to a good family to raise, and he will not suffer anything. Although he can't be a young master, he won't be like the palace and let him do what a eunuch is. Have you chosen? Is it poison, or I'll have someone help you. ”

The woman said: "Since the concubine wants to die cleanly, let the water of the Xiangjiang River wash away the dirt on my body, and I won't have to work with the Venerable Master." The enmity between you and me is difficult to solve, everything will be in the next life, and then we will figure it out. ”

"Afterlife...... Whatever, whatever you want. Come on, throw her down the river! ”

The woman did not cry or scream, but closed her eyes as if she had resigned herself to her fate, and let the two servants lift her up and walk to the side of the ship.

Crystal tears flowed out of his eyes, and what appeared in front of him was the tall and straight body of Xianggong, and the lovely face of Aiko, and the giggling sound when he was coquettish in his arms.

Gone, everything is gone. She did not object to Xianggong following Zeng Guang and others to get into trouble, that was the way she had to go, not to mention that women who were familiar with poetry and books also felt that this world should not be like this. Xiang Gong's only mistake is probably that he chose the wrong opponent......

Her body was shaken violently, she knew what was coming, and quietly she took a long breath, and then the person was thrown high, and she silently cried out in her heart: Child...... Live well, you must live well......

"Plop"

There was a loud bang, and the water splashed. The girl looked at the splash, and then looked at Fan Jin, "Brother Fan destroys flowers with his hot hands, and he really destroys the heavens." Tomorrow the people of the palace will look for you to ask for someone, see how you are? ”

"If they really dare to ask for someone, I'll go back and calculate with them."

"What is the kid Brother Fan going to do?"

"I promised her that I would give her child a good home, but I have two lives in Huguang, and I will have Lao Shimei. Changsha can't let him stay here, take him elsewhere, find a good family, I don't know if this is too harsh? ”

Zhang smiled, "What my brother said, how can it be considered too harsh?" There are a lot of people in the little sister clan, and it is not difficult to arrange a young child, but I thought that Brother Fan would cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and threw the child into the water, but I didn't expect that it was really true to his word. But I don't know whether to say that Brother Fan is vicious or compassionate? ”

Fan Jin also smiled: "The word compassion, I don't deserve to mention it, I can only think that I don't want to break my word." Besides, this child is also innocent, and if he stays and is harmed by King Ji, it is better to give him a way out. As for whether he will seek revenge on me when he grows up...... Let him go. It's cool at night, so let's rest early. ”

Fan Jin bowed, turned around and said goodbye, and a strange tune drifted along the wind, "I am a stuccomaker, painting skills, I want to ...... that little house"

Back in the cabin, thinking about what she talked about tonight and what Fan Jin was planning, and then thinking of the appearance of her brother and his party, the girl shook her head, "Generally speaking, it is a brother, one can do things, and the other has to be a son. It's just that why do people stand up for us......
