In the morning, the gates of the city were opened, and the people outside the city began to enter the city to earn the day's expenses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoGrain, pork, eggs, wood...... Even workers, Changsha now has unlimited business opportunities, as long as you have materials or strength, it is easy to find opportunities to make money here.

The Zeng Guang Rebellion did have a certain impact on Changsha City. For example, some storefronts were burned down in the riots, some large families and middle-class homes were looted, and many innocent people lost their lives. But in the general direction, the damage caused by it is at best a bandit entering the city, and it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

The officers and soldiers appeared at the right time, but before the people in the rivers and lakes and the rioters who took advantage of the chaos could make a big fuss, they were suppressed by the officers and soldiers, and the damage to the city was not very serious. In addition, the government had already prepared relevant plans, and after Zeng Guang was taken, the yamen immediately began to rectify the order, using iron-fisted means to knock out several gangs that had emerged in the chaos, and then cleaned up the market, distributed some relief materials, and compensated the damaged families, and the market resumed normal operation in three or two days.

The riots and smashing in the city have long since stopped, but because of this turmoil, the yamen has strengthened its control over public security, and the number of street patrol officers and officials has increased several times compared with usual, and law and order has become better. These law enforcers themselves are afraid of Zhang Sixiu and other scholars, so they don't dare to eat and take cards as usual, and for these small traders, this time period is the best time to do business.

A team of nearly 100 people came to Changsha at this time. The team was numerous, and their uniforms were mixed, ranging from scholars to farmers, small traders, and even some women.

People with different identities and professions are actually mixed in the same team, and they get along very well, which makes the gatekeepers feel extremely weird. A few people exchanged glances, and someone quietly called for support, while the guard clenched his spear and examined it very carefully. However, this strict maintenance did not last long, and the alarm was lifted.

Qi Moxuan, the mountain chief of Yuelu Academy, personally welcomed this team into the city, which was better than any road guide. The status of scholars among the people is already high, and the head of Yuelu Academy is the best among scholars, and those people who are waiting in line for inspection have spontaneously made way for scholars, for fear that they will stain the old mountain chief's clothes.

The officers defending the city had attended two classes in the academy, and they were called Xiucai by a bunch of big-headed soldiers in the army, and their status was much higher than that of ordinary Qiu Ba. When he saw the mountain chief from afar, he ran over and kowtowed, which was more cordial than seeing his own chief.

Qi Moxuan couldn't actually remember his name, but he still pretended to be very familiar and greeted him, pulled him up again, and introduced the guests behind him. It was an old man in his fifties, dressed in a scarf robe, half-new, with a few patches on it, looking at the dress, like an old pedant teaching a private school in the countryside, but if you look closely, you can find that this old man is by no means an ordinary man.

Beside him were two middle-aged scholars, but behind the old man was a tall butcher with oily sleeves on his chest, and next to the butcher was a woman with heavy makeup, who at first glance knew that it was the vulgar powder of the country shop.

These people of different identities and statuses stood together, and they were originally full of abruptness, but because of the existence of this old man, everything seemed so natural and harmonious, and there was no sense that there was anything wrong at all. The people also looked at each other very casually, as if everything was taken for granted, and no one thought that they shouldn't be with anyone else.

Looking at the stunned appearance of the officer guarding the door, Qi Moxuan smiled and said, "This is Mr. Fushan, who has come to our Changsha to give a lecture." Today, let Mr. Fushan take a good turn, and in three days, Yuelu Academy will officially start teaching, and you can also come and listen. ”

The officer guarding the gate opened his mouth wide and stammered, "This ...... This is Mr. Fushan? Small...... Can you really go to the lecture? ”

The so-called Mr. Fushan is naturally Liang Ruyuan, whose original name was Liang Ruyuan, and later had to change his name to He Xinyin to avoid trouble because of the impeachment of Yan Song by the United Lan Daoxing. Although he broke out of the sect and set up his own door after entering Yanmen for the first time, his reputation among the people is not bad, and his name and popularity are not under his teacher.

In practice, He Xinyin emphasized the formation of mutual help and mutual aid groups in the form of "associations," and there was no shortage of supporters of this idea among the Shinongsan and industrialists in Huguang, Guangxi, and Jiangxi provinces. When I thought that this was the famous He Fu Mountain in front of me, my heart was beating wildly, my breathing became short, and my weapon was thrown aside early, and I still felt that there was no place to put my hands and feet, and I couldn't reflect my admiration for this gentleman.

He Xinyin stepped forward at this time and looked at the young officer with a smile, his expression extremely kind. "Why not? The old man is just an old farmer in the countryside, Meng Qiong will not give up, allow me to go to Yuelu Academy to talk a few nonsense, whoever wants to listen to it, naturally welcome. The so-called teaching is classless, as long as you are dedicated to learning, I welcome anyone to come. ”

Qi Moxuan said: "This time, Mr. Fushan went to Changsha to give a lecture, but it was personally invited by Qi Yuanwai, and it was also the biggest event in the literary world in Changsha in the past ten years. Even students from the surrounding prefectures and counties have to come to listen to the lecture, and you should come early to occupy a place. ”

The officer kept nodding his head, and suddenly asked, "Mr. Fushan, why didn't you come earlier?" This year, many people have gone to Beijing to catch the exam, if you come earlier or later, they are also in Changsha, can't they also listen to your lectures? ”

He Xinyin smiled: "You are a good question, in fact, I deliberately chose this time." When I give lectures in my hometown, I only look for idle time, so that the farmers who work in the fields have time to listen to the lectures and not miss the time because of the lectures. Lecturing in the city is to pick the students when they have the most leisure, so as not to let them miss their studies for me. The reason why I chose this is also because for students, this time is the most leisurely. People who want to ask for fame have gone to the examination meeting, and there is no other exam this year, so they can have time to settle down and listen to what I am talking about, analyze whether what my old man said is right, and choose what is good. The truth I am preaching is the truth of the common people, not the truth of the scientific field, and it is useless for those who want to be famous to listen to it, so I will not waste their time, and they will not come to dirty my class. You see...... These people have come to listen to me and give lectures. ”

He was referring to the butchers, the peasants, and even the maids. The officer was dumbfounded, "They...... Can you give a lecture? ”

"Of course, in ancient times, everyone could be Yao Shun, so why couldn't these people teach? This world comes from Tai Chi, and the human heart is Tai Chi. As long as our hearts are clean, there is no difference between superior and inferior. Like me, they can strictly abide by their own hearts, so why can't they teach? In fact, you are like them, and you can talk about it when the time comes. ”

"I ...... No, no, what am I talking about? I'm an old man, I only know how to kill people with a knife, what can I say? ”

"The truth of the people is the truth of the sages, as long as you keep your heart as one, you are Yao Shun." He Xinyin patted the officer on the shoulder, "I'm waiting for you at Yuelu Academy, remember to come." ”

The officer blushed, nodded subconsciously, and ordered his subordinates to get out of the way and let the pedestrian pass. Until the team gradually disappeared, his face was still red, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "I can also be Yao Shun......"

Walking on the street and looking at the noisy streets, the number of government service patrols is obviously several times more than usual, the people are working hard to carry various materials in carts, and there are already workers busy rebuilding the burned shops.

Among the followers around He Xinyin, there are all kinds of workers, many people point to those builders, comment on their craftsmanship, or talk about the value of these materials, talking about the words of the market, and there is not much knowledge. But He Xinyin did not look dissatisfied, but communicated with them with relish, making everyone feel that they had something to say.

After walking out of the road, Qi Moxuan said: "Brother Fushan, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still the same as you were at the beginning, mingling with the people without distinguishing each other, if you don't explain, no one will know, you are actually the first hero to impeach the traitor back then." ”

I don't dare to say this. If you talk about the merits of the day, I rely on Lan Daoyou internally and Xu Wenzhen outside, I am just a poor scholar, running out of my strength and contacting each other, I really can't say that I have any credit. Even if Danyang Shao Daxia, he has more credit than me, but it's a pity that ...... The Si people are gone, so there is no need to mention them. ”

Danyang Shao Fang's name moved all over the world, he died at Zhang Juzheng's hands a few years ago, He Xinyin and Zhang Juzheng became enemies from friends, Qi Moxuan also knew it, at this time I heard him mention Shao Fang, and knew that it was an allusion to Zhang Juzheng, so he had to sigh and say:

"Yes, Shao Daxia's case is very wronged, and he has his own time of glory. It's a pity that the people have gone, and Zhaoxue is useless. ”

He Xinyin nodded and said: "Yes, I also think that it is better to avenge grievances before death than to show Xue after death." Like a skinny plum...... The dignified Sha genius, who is also Qi Weng's beloved disciple, is now in trouble, don't you want to save him? Do you have to wait until after he was destroyed, and then burn a few pieces of paper in front of the grave, crying and sacrificing his untimely death? ”

"Saving people is naturally wanted, but I am ashamed...... It's really powerless. In fact, not only Slender Mei, but even the rest of us in Yuelu are in a difficult situation now. Qi Moxuan's old face was slightly red, and his tone of voice was also a little embarrassed.

Yuelu Academy is a well-known institution in Changsha, and the mountain chief of this kind of place is not only a great Confucian, but also has a great influence in the local area, usually speaking, as long as a famous assassin can bail people out, but the problem is that it does not apply in this case.

This kind of rebellion case, and there is attention from the level of Shoufu Gongzi, it is impossible to pass it casually. Changsha is not prosperous on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging in private. Under the appearance of peace in Changsha, the work of interrogating prisoners and tracking down fellow parties did not stop.

Jian Shoumei's assassination happened in front of everyone's eyes, and no one complained about him, and the yamen and the Jinyi official school would go to the academy or the literary society from time to time to call a scholar away for questioning. This was unthinkable in the past. After all, the social status of the scholar is high, where does the Xu Commander Eagle Dog dare to provoke.

But with Jian Shoumei's assassination, these people have become suspected of being thieves, and their prestige naturally can't be shaken. When discussing in private, the opinion of this classmate and talent is actually not good.

Moreover, although the current Ming officials are lazy, they are not too stubborn in terms of public opinion control, at least they know the truth of Zhang Chi at the same time. There has just been a turmoil, and if the high-pressure policy is implemented again, it will inevitably trigger new conflicts, and it is to relax the ban on various entertainment, guiding people to have fun and not pay attention to Shi Zheng, so the teahouses, Qinglou and other places in the city are more lively than usual.

Scholars have a place to relax, and the homes of a few unlucky people are affected during the riots, and the government has also given a certain amount of compensation, so they naturally will not make a fuss. As the main force of public opinion, as long as the scholars are stable, the other classes will also be stable, and it is not easy to make trouble. Even if he is a great Confucian, he is powerless to encourage a group of students to petition, not to mention the impact of worrying. Now even he is in a difficult situation, and he really can't use much strength to save people.

He Xinyin couldn't help but nod as he listened, "I know Qi Weng's difficulties very well, but this matter has not yet reached the time of despair. Slender Mei is a wealthy local family, and the prince of Ji has tried to get involved with his wife, which is a matter of the past. He interacted with Zeng Guang and others, maybe he was confused for a while, or maybe he was just unwilling to be aggrieved in his heart, in short, he couldn't die all at once. Now the punishment for him is obviously too much, and the property of the Jian family has been almost divided, right? The case has not yet been decided, and the property of the person must be divided first, what is the difference between this and a robber? I will go to visit the prefect Zhang Yinqing in a while and ask him for personal favors first. ”

"Fushan...... Don't be reckless, although Taishou is a Qing official, but now the situation in the city is complicated, and he is afraid that he will ......"

He Xinyin smiled, "I know, Zhang Juzheng's son is in the city." At that time, I asserted that Zhang Juzheng would be the prime minister in the future, and he would kill me for the sake of the prime minister. But I didn't really want to be afraid of him because of this. On that day, Yan Fenyi covered the sky with one hand, and I still wanted to fight with him, could it be that he Zhang Jiangling was a tiger? Moreover, when I was lecturing, I said to my disciples that all flesh and blood should be relatives, and the righteousness of teachers and friends should not lose the righteousness of family members. Slender Mei has listened to my class, to me, is a student, if the student is not saved, wouldn't it be against my way of being a person and running a school? In the future, what face will I have to see my own disciples? I have to save this person, and if I have to take risks because of this, I will also die for the Tao, so why be afraid? ”

Qi Moxuan was speechless, so he had to nod and say, "That'...... Brother Fushan, you have to take care. I'll send someone to inform my brother first, so that he can get ready. ”

"No need." He Xinyin put on a whole robe, "Don't do bad things for people, and don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night." What is the selflessness of my heart, the authority of the sword and axe? Come here, and follow me to the prefect's yamen. ”

So on the same day, people saw that a team of 100 people, after entering the city, went straight to the prefect's yamen, and soon after, someone invited the leader into the yamen, and opened the middle door in the afternoon to send out, which was a gift for soft entry and hard out. Later, public opinion spread: Mr. Fushan rescued Jian Shoumei, and the prefect was moved by his words, and this case may have to be repeated.
