Chapter 31: Interrogation

Boom, the people watching the battle in the hall suddenly exploded, and today the prefect is determined to deal with the heroes in everyone's hearts.

That quanyong has the ability to shake the earth, how can he really be right with the government?

That Quan Yong just wrote a novel, how did he spread rebellious remarks, caused a bad impact, and was very rebellious? The prefect is spewing blood!

The people buzzed like a swarm of remarks, and they all criticized Zhang Jun.

"Silence, silence!"

"If he doesn't be quiet, the official will expel him!"

Zhang Jun took out the startling wood and patted it fiercely before stopping the surging speech in the hall.

Then he asked Li Zhe:

"Li Zhe, you can plead guilty! All of you here are celebrities and veterans in today's literary world, and they all agree with this official's appeal against you, and they are all proofs. ”

Li Zhe looked at the hall, and there was indeed a large group of scribes in the hall today.

Among them are Song Feng in Wenxin Carving Dragon, Mr. Sun in Da Tianzhu, and Mr. Huang in novelists.

Song Feng, who carved a dragon in Wenxin, looked the most stylish, wearing a green robe, with a handsome face, looking gentle and elegant, quite the style of an ancient gentleman. But it was this guy's article that set off a trend of crusading against "Shooting the Condor", and sure enough, he knew the people and faces, but he didn't know the heart, and the more these literati seemed to be the county lords, the more ruthless they became.

When Song Feng saw Li Zhe at this time, he was just a young man of twenty years, shook his head and said:

"Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity, although "Shooting the Condor" is not good, but looking at its writing, there is still merit, with your age, you can write such an article, it can be seen that you are born with talent, just go the wrong way, so as to make amazing words, grandstanding, such an article, such a talent, it's a pity."

"If I wait for such a young man to be beaten to death with a stick, is it a loss of the way of forgiveness of the saints?"

Make a look of cherishing talents for the country.

The Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang next to him said:

"Mr. Song is overrated, in my opinion, today this son is the most unappeased, the higher the talent, the more painful the reprimand, to give him an unforgettable lesson, I also know that this son is high, but the talent also needs to be virtuous, otherwise there is no virtue, the higher the talent, the more harmful, there are examples in history as proof, Cai Jing, Qin Hui and so on are not all talented people, must not be tolerated."

"What Mr. Sun said is that the novels written by this kid are obscene and filthy, and I am ashamed to be with him, so let's expel him, and we must not let such a person continue to harm the world."

The crowd sang and harmonized, saying the same as the truth.

When Zhang Jun heard this, his face softened, and he said to Li Zhe:

"Li Zhe, you have heard it, these seniors in the literary world have said this, which shows that the official's judgment of you is still reasonable. You are young, there is still hope that you can change your mistakes, and the official is not trying to suppress you. As long as you admit defeat and admit guilt, the official will not be too sorry for himself, and he will not embarrass you much, after all, you are loyal to the country, and you can start all over again after you change. ”

Zhang Jun looked at Li Zhe expectantly, hoping to hear Li Zhe confess his guilt in person. Although he is a member of the third grade, it is not easy to be the prefect in the place where King An is stationed in Ye. Now he regrets that he agreed to the suggestion of his nephew Zhang Pu and took over this case, he is a dignified member of the third grade, and he is involved in this kind of thing, is it because he is afraid that the lice on his head are not enough?

Li Zhe heard these people talking and singing to themselves below, these people really thought that after doing this, they would be able to bluff themselves and cover the sky with one hand? is still an old man in the literary world, just a few people want to represent the literary world, then the other literati don't agree, they really don't know how to be shy, and they don't know how to write the idiom of Mu Monkey and Crown.

They may be able to scare a group of ordinary people who are really just starting out, but it is impossible to frighten such a soul from later generations, a person who has withstood all kinds of absurdity, shock, and bizarre theories in the information age.

Li Zhe still bowed Shi Shiran and said:

"Thank you for your inquiry, it's just that the old man has been urging the kid to confess his guilt, admit his guilt, and the kid thinks he's not guilty at all, so how can he admit his guilt?"

"Just these witnesses called by the eldest master? They are newspaper writers like me, and they are equal in status, so could they have convicted me when they were older? I won't talk about anything else, let's just say that my "Shooting the Condor" has sold Mengzhou Daily from 30,000 copies to 110,000 copies now, and the sales of the newspaper have increased nearly three times in less than a month, which shows how popular my novels are.

The eldest lord also saw it, and the people standing outside the yamen today are all my loyal readers, each of them is obsessed with novels, I don't understand what you mean by Wen Yizai, but in my opinion, the so-called novels are written for people to read, there are many people who read them, and those who read them like them, so they are naturally good novels, otherwise you say that no one has read them in vain? ”

"Well, that's good!"

Those who listen outside the door are at ease,

"It's still a good thing to say it! is worthy of being a person who can write a novel like "Shooting the Condor", a novel novel, no one reads it, so what is the point of writing? ”

"It turns out that the novel of "Shooting the Condor" was specially written for me and other small people, no wonder it looks really enjoyable."

The people in the hall supported Li Zhe, and at this time, they invariably shouted a few slogans! made everyone in the hall sound pale.

Li Zhe said again:

"As for these people standing here today, they can't represent the Mengzhou literary circle, these people are all competitors of Mengzhou Daily, they slander me, either because of jealousy, or because of business competition, and indirectly suppress Mengzhou Daily, a group of stinking people, what can such testimony mean?"

Li Zhe said, a few people on the opposite side almost went on the spot, and the old man was ashamed and angry, even Song Feng, who was still personable just now, was angry, and his lips trembled, pointing at Li Zhe who was not a son of man, and shouted that he was not a son of man, and the scene was a mess.

Zhang Jun said with a gloomy face:

"Li Zhe, Li Zhe, the official still thinks that you are young and wants to leave you some leeway, but I didn't expect you to be really stubborn! It is really arrogant to dare to be so arrogant in front of so many ancestors in the literary world! ”

"Someone's coming!"

"In!"

"Go to the big seal of the official, and the official will sign it, and here he will detain this person and go to the Senate to ask for the guilt."

"Yes!"

Li Zhe and his entourage below and the audience were all shocked, is the prefect going to tear his face directly? I didn't expect this prefect to say in the hall that he would be tough, what a big rebellion, what harm to society, but you said a reason? There is no reason to sign and take people, and this prefect is inevitably too messy.

He didn't know the suffering in Zhang Jun's heart, today the situation is out of control, what happened in front of the prefect's yamen money today, he Zhang Jun will inevitably be criticized afterwards, if an official in the future is criticized, at most it will be good to change his position, but in this era, the official voice is the political life of the official, and the people gathered in the hall will make Zhang Jun's official reputation in the court greatly reduced no matter how others look at it.

In this case, the only hope that Zhang Jun hopes for is to settle this crime as soon as possible, so as not to drag it on, and once something happens, it will be even more troublesome.

But when his performance spread, the people in front of the yamen outside were already in a hurry!

"It's bad, the prefect is angry, and he wants to punish Wenqu Xing!"

"Unconscious! It must be a faint official! ”

"Grandpa Wenquxing, there is no good reward for good people!"

"When the faint official sees that Wenqu Xing also wants to write well, he will arrest Grandpa Wenqu Xingjun, and you people are not afraid of a divine thunder from the sky to kill your group?"

Some people even cried out on the spot, "The sky has no eyes, and traitors are in charge," and even such sensational words were shouted out!

There was a mess at the entrance of the prefect's office.

Zhang Jun had a black face, and he couldn't wait to go down and arrest all those people in person, but he didn't blame the public, so he had to vent all his anger on the culprit Li Zhe in front of him. His face turned pale, and he threw down a token fiercely, and was about to announce the verdict when he heard the sound of court music coming from outside the yamen.

When the people in the yamen heard this, they slowed down their movements, the sound of court ritual music, the folk have long been lost, only in the palace of King An, as soon as everyone heard this sound, they knew that this was someone sent by the palace?

Then, sure enough, the originally black crowd outside the yamen moved out of the way like a unicorn dividing water, showing a group of people, there were musicians, strong men, it was the herald of the palace of An, in the middle of the escort of a person wearing a bright yellow costume and a small hat, this person had a white face and beard, a sharp voice, which one is not the eunuch of the An Palace?

I saw the eunuch walk to the middle of the hall and say:

"King An has an order!"

The prefect Zhang Jun and the officials of the yamen hurriedly knelt down to listen to the order, and the others also bowed and saluted, only to hear the eunuch bow slightly, and said:

"I heard that even the prefect of Mengzhou Prefecture began to investigate the prohibition of novels?"

This tone is not exactly like the voice of King An laughing and scolding in the proceedings of the royal court, thanks to the vividness of this little eunuch's learning, as if King An himself appeared in front of him, Zhang Jun listened to it and his heart suddenly,

Immediately after, "Nonsense! ”

"Zhang Jun, you don't have anything to do, you want to check such a trivial matter, are you idle and have nothing to do or don't want to wear this black yarn hat,"

"I am the ancient precept of the Song Dynasty, don't scold people with words, not to mention it's just a novel, Zhang Jun, who are you, even care about this kind of thing, can you be bigger than this king, and want to force this king and the Senate to revise the laws of the Emperor and Song Dynasty?"

What the?

Hearing this, Zhang Jun only heard a boom in his ears, and immediately his eyes went dark, and his body had fallen to the ground, unconscious.
