The army can be said to be rushing to Wu County non-stop. Wang Mastiff and the others were sent to the border of Huiji, and Guo Yi let them go back. The warlord doesn't need a magistrate to help with such a thing.

The Zhang family's eyeliner is fast, but the war horses of the dragoon battalion are faster! The situation in Wu County, Long San, who was stationed here, had already been controlled, and Guo Yi, the Taishou guard, detained everyone in prison, just waiting for Guo Yi to arrive to deal with it.

Outside Wu County, Long San and Guo Yi were waiting at the door to greet them.

"Tell me about the situation."

Guo Yi reported: "General, the Zhang family confessed to the assassination, and now all of them have been arrested, waiting for the general's fate. In addition, the Gu family, the Lu family, and the Zhu family were all waiting at the county office, wanting to intercede for the Zhang family. ”

Guo Yi sneered and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to them." ”

The yamen was already surrounded by people, and the yamen was full of the children of Wu County's famous families. As the saying goes, the Zhang family, as a big clan of Wu County, once killed by Guo Yi, an outsider, the other families will not be spared.

Gu Yong, the new Lujiang Taishou, took the lead in dissuading him, "General, the soldiers are unknown, so don't move lightly." The matter of the Zhang family, I hope the general will think twice. ”

Guo Yi shouted coldly, "Bastard! Do you want me to let them go? The Zhang family has opposed me three times and twice, and today's matter will not be tolerated! ”

"General!" How could Gu Yong just give up? continued to persuade: "The Zhang family has a high reputation in Yangzhou and is deeply loved, so it should not be moved lightly. ”

"Needless to say!" Guo Yi split the table in half with a sword, and said sharply: "If anyone persuades again, he will be guilty of the same crime as the Zhang family!" ”

When Gu Yong heard this, he immediately retreated to his seat, and the rest of the families were also too frightened to persuade him anymore, thinking in his heart that he would move his family out of Yangzhou today and avoid the limelight first.

"Someone's coming!" Guo Yi waved his hand and ordered: "Kill the Zhang family!" ”

"General, slow!" A crisp voice sounded, it was a handsome young man standing in the doorway, about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Huan'er!" The people of the Zhu family turned pale with fright, and scolded sharply: "What do you know about a hairy boy? Hurry back! ”

Guo Yi frowned, this hairy boy is so bold? With some curiosity in his heart, he commanded, "Let him in!" ”

The people of the Zhu family still wanted to stop it, but they were glared back by the knife and axeman. The Zhu family had no choice but to sit down and let the young man in, praying in their hearts that the young man would not anger Guo Yi, so as not to add a Zhu family to today's slaughter list.

The young man walked up to Guo Yi and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Junior, Zhu Huan, I have seen the general!" ”

I think you've heard of this name? Guo Yi frowned and said, "Say it." ”

Zhu Huan was not in a hurry, and said: "The general was assassinated, and he should take revenge." But there is a wrong, there is a debtor, the general only needs to catch the mastermind and execute him, why bother to sit with others? ”

Guo Yi sneered: "The Zhang family has disobeyed my orders several times, and has written articles to scold me, and I have repeatedly endured it!" This time, they didn't know what to do, and they dared to assassinate, and this matter was not negotiable! ”

"The general is benevolent and righteous, and the world knows it." Zhu Huan praised a sentence, but his face remained the same, and he continued: "Nine out of ten fools in the world, such as generals and wise people, there are only one or two people for thousands of years. The Zhang family was stupid and did not know the general's great ambition to make the people live and work in peace and contentment, which was really a mistake. But the younger generation has not heard of the damned and the dull should die! ”

Guo Yi slapped the back of the chair and said angrily: "I see that your kid is deliberately trying to provoke me." Come on, drag it out and cut it! ”

The people of the Zhu family were so frightened that they hurriedly begged for mercy, but Zhu Huan was not afraid, still held his head high, and said confidently: "If the general is not a person who kills indiscriminately, how can he kill an innocent person?" I have not heard of anyone who has been convicted of a crime that has led to death. ”

"Hahahaha!" When Guo Yi heard this, he laughed out loud, pointed to the famous families who were kneeling on the ground, and sneered: "I think this well-educated person is not as good as a young man!" Long San, the mastermind can be executed, and the rest of the people are not asked. ”

After speaking, Guo Yi said again: "Boy, only I am here, so I will not be convicted for my words." ”

Zhu Huan bowed, still neither humble nor arrogant, and said loudly: "Because he knows that the general is virtuous, this kid dares to fight!" ”

"Boy, come with me. Your talents shouldn't be buried here! ”

Zhu Huan refused and said, "I still have my studies in my body, so I can't travel far." ”

"I have my own teachers in Zhongshan Academy."

Zhu Huan said: "The family teacher is virtuous, and the kid will not change the court." ”

"Who is your teacher?"

"The family teacher Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world."

Cai Wenji her father? Guo Yi was suddenly interested. He had little interest in the masters of scripture at the end of the Han Dynasty, but Cai Wenji was one of the most talented women in Chinese history. Hurriedly said to Zhu Huan: "I want to see Mr. Cai, please introduce me." ”

Zhu Huan couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he nodded, "No." ”

In a small mansion on the outskirts of Wu County, Guo Yi met Cai Yong, performed a disciple ceremony, and treated him with respect. "Xiao Sheng has seen Mr."

Cai Yong sat on a futon, with bamboo slips on the table and a copy of the Analects printed by Zhongshan Academy. He was in his fifties at this time, and his temples were gray, but he was still in good spirits and in good spirits.

The teaching materials of Zhongshan Academy have been adjusted by Confucian students. Slightly "classicize" Guo Yi's "deviant" comments. Let these annotations not anger the Confucian scholars in the world, and also allow Guo Yi to avoid being criticized by the world's corporals.

Seeing him perform the disciple salute, Cai Yong smiled, "Hmph, you also know how to respect teachers?" ”

Guo Yi maintained a humble movement, and said in a calm tone: "Zi said: 'Don't give in to the teacher. Xiao Sheng's commentary on the Analects is not disrespectful. ”

Cai Yong opened the book, pointed to the words on it, and asked, "Isn't it slanderous for you to say that the master wants to work for the thieves!" ”

"The master has made this clear to Zilu. Since the Master thinks that there is nothing wrong with him, is it not against the Master's will that we distort the Master's will and cover it up for the Master? What's more, the master has always disliked deception, and there are often words in "Spring and Autumn" that praise the good history and strive to write straightforwardly. ”

Cai Yong turned another page and reprimanded: "The father and son of the monarch and the minister you said are all unremarkable. ”

Guo Yi said indifferently: "Mencius said: I have heard of the punishment of the only husband, but I have not heard of the murder of the king." In the past, Gaozu beheaded the white snake and punished the tyrannical Qin, isn't it completely unhuman? ”

"Sophistry!" When it comes to the emperor's affairs, Cai Yong's heart is empty, this is a reverse scale that the scholars dare not touch. Instead, he asked, "You said that there was a vision in heaven, and it was not the work of man." Don't you know the principle of 'heaven and man induction'? ”

"Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death. Where does the saying of 'celestial and human induction' come from? ”

Cai Yong said: "The emperor is the son of heaven, he has the favor of heaven, and the emperor is eternal, isn't it the meaning of God's beloved son?" ”

Zi said: Respect ghosts and gods and stay away. In my opinion, the emperor was born with a spirit, and not ghosts and gods can influence it! ”

Cai Yong paused when he heard this, put the book aside, and asked, "Is it a gentleman's work for you to open a school and teach the villain?" ”

"There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, that's all. The master also worshipped Tanzi, Shixiang, Lao Tzu and others as teachers, and did not hear the master's shame. ”

"This ......" Cai Yong was actually stopped for a while, and paused for a while before saying, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, sir." Guo Yishi Shiran sat down.
