The sunset shines at night, pulling out a long reflection of the wild grass on the roof of the dilapidated county school.

When the deadline finally came, there were more than a dozen students with different expressions standing in front of Shen Yun. Some people were out of breath because they were walking quickly, and some people were simply drunk, sweating profusely because of Shen Yun's call. As for those who can't come, needless to say.

Shen Yun looked at them one by one, looked at the appearance of this group of people, shook his head and asked, "Can you know if you are wrong?" ”

The stern voice was exchanged for a wordless silence, Shen Yun was not surprised by this, but sighed: "For the sake of you being able to come back according to the time limit, I will give you a chance, if you can get a medium or above evaluation in the next two consecutive months of monthly exams, today's matter will not be pursued." ”

More than a dozen people standing showed a hint of joy. After all, county school is still beneficial, otherwise it wouldn't have made many people squeeze their heads. Although the county government has not paid incentives on time recently, the reduction of taxes and forced labor to a certain extent has not been interrupted. For some families, this is already a great gift.

I thought that even these people who went out would be forgiven like this, and the trouble would definitely be forgiven, but they were disappointed.

Shen Yun finished dealing with these people, looked back at the troublemakers just now, and his face showed seriousness: "You are in public, those who take the lead in making trouble, will be expelled from the county school and will never be hired." Whoever wants to go to the state school to study is to go there. But today's matter, I will go to Xuezheng and he will rule and completely disqualify you from the imperial examination. ”

One of the most important indicators of the imperial examination is morality. In the past, it was proved by the villagers writing a letter of guarantee, but once Xuezheng verified what Shen Yun said, listened to Shen Yun's opinion, and removed him from the qualification for scientific examinations, then unless it was a special order of the emperor, even if a few Zaifu came, it would not work.

The few scholars who took the lead in making trouble were bold, but those were based on hearing that Shen Yun was weak and bulliable.

Now that Shen Yun showed such a strong side, it made them lose their previous arrogance, and when they heard this, their colors changed greatly, and they knelt on the ground one by one and begged bitterly: "County Zun, I know that I am wrong, and I also ask County Zun to be magnanimous and let the students go this time, in the future, we will definitely keep to ourselves, and there will be no more today's things." ”

Shen Yun sighed.

He understands that what he did today is likely to ruin these people, however, there are some things that have been done, and he can't go back. Ordinary people must first accept the rod to do this, let alone these scholars. Knowingly committing the crime is increased by one degree. It would be good if you didn't give them a virtue.

"Some of you are older than me. When a man knows how to do things, he must be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences. There are some rules that even I dare not violate, but you wait to touch them with your own identity, if you don't teach you a lesson, I'm afraid that there will be people in the future. Go back, the county will not pursue this matter again, but it will not let you wait for the county school again. If you have real skills, you can go to the state school after the autumn to try. ”

After finishing talking about the students, Shen Yun looked back at a few masters and shook his head: "You are not suitable to stay in Anhua County, the county will send Xie Yi over in a few days, you can wait for it, and then fend for yourself." ”

This time, Jin Changling really couldn't sit still, without the master, can the county school still be called the county school?

"County Zun, this matter must not be, such a thing has happened, I am afraid that no one will dare to come to the county to teach in the future. When the time comes, our county school will really be in name only. ”

"Have you heard of the Cen family?" Shen Yun suddenly said this, which made Jin Changling stunned, and then reacted: "What the county respected said was the Cen family of the Gyeongju wang family, and this year, the son of the Cen family won the second class, but it shook the entire Gyeongju." ”

"Yes, as far as I know, the Cen family has a lot of well-educated old Confucians. If you want to invite a few more and make some friends, there will always be enough people to replace these people. The county school is a place for teaching and educating people, not a place for some people to cause commotions for personal gain, I think you should know this. ”

Seeing that Jin Changling didn't believe it for a while, Shen Yun explained: "Cen Shiwang has a very good relationship with me in Beijing, and if you want to come to this face, the Cen family will still give it." ”

Sticks were applied to the masters and students of the county school one after another, and at this time it was time to give sweet dates: "Tomorrow I will send someone to send all the rice and rewards owed to you in the county." The county school is temporarily closed for half a month, and during this time, I will find some craftsmen to repair this place inside and out. ”

The students who were able to stay were overjoyed, and Shen Yun immediately added: "Even if it is expelled today, it will be reissued, I am the Ya of Anhua County, not a rural laizi." ”

After saying this, Shen Yun hurriedly walked out of the county school.

It's simple to say just now, but the landlord's family has no surplus grain. The money and grain held by the county yacang Cao are still ready to deal with the talent tax gap this autumn, and so much is withdrawn at once, and if you want to do something else in the future, you have to be prepared to be stuck by the money and grain. The thing of slapping a swollen face and filling a fat person will be less done in the future.

Still short of money, Shen Yun thought so in his heart, facing Jin Changling's crying and laughing face, he squeezed out a smile and said with relief: "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with money and food." ”

The location of the county school is remote, and the news of the students' troubles has not been spread for a while. However, when twilight fell in Anhua County, Shen Yun suppressed the student disturbances with an iron fist, and the news of reforming nearly a quarter of the students in the county school still spread throughout Anhua County.

At this time, Shen Yun's official letter had already been placed on the academic and political desk. The letter described in detail what happened in the county school today, and wrote down the reasons and basis for the expulsion of the students, even if it was a school administration, Shen Yun could not find any mistakes. This old man who is over fifty years old is sitting in front of the desk at the moment, brushing his beard, and shaking his head helplessly: "This posterity is really good." That's it, let him go. ”

After sighing, he put pen to paper and approved a word on Shen Yun's official letter: "Yes." ”

A few families in the city were happy, a few were crying, and the next day, the gate of the county school was rarely crowded with people.

The people wanted to see if Shen Yun could speak and count, and more importantly, they wanted to see the students who were expelled today and brought their families to plead. It's just that Shen Yun is destined to disappoint them, it was Hu Cao who went to deliver money and food today, and Shen Yun at this time was already wearing the crimson civilian clothes rewarded by Zhao Ji, and came to a big mansion in the city with a gift.

punished the students and expelled the master, Shen Yun came to wipe his ass at this time.

Cen Shiwang is an eight-sided person, and so is the Cen family. When he learned that he had some friendship with Cen Shiwang, he sent someone to send a generous gift when he took office. Shen Yun had to take this feeling. During this time, I inquired about the Cen family privately and found that the reputation among the people was not bad, and there were no bad deeds such as cunning and robbery.

For Shen Yun, this was enough.

You can't expect the clan family to be so kind, it's already very good for the Cen family to be able to abide by the rules.

The Cen family has three generations, and the branches are all in the countryside, and only the long house lives in the city. And the old lady of the Cen family is now in this mansion. Shen Yun stepped forward and knocked on the door, and when he saw someone opening the door, he bowed his hand and said, "Shen Yun, come to meet Old Lady Cen, please pass through." ”

Menzi originally wanted to say something he didn't know, but suddenly remembered that the current magistrate of Anhua County was not Shen Yun. Hurriedly bowed: "I don't know if the county lord is coming, the little one is rude." Prefectural Honor, please come in. Brought Shen Yun to the partial flower hall, and the door hurriedly ran to the second entrance and bowed to the housekeeper.

When I got to Old Lady Cen, it was already a moment in the past.

"Hahaha, it's still here after all. There was a lot of uproar yesterday, and today I visited the door, this Shen Yun seems to be really not polite to our Cen family at all. Cen Musheng, who is also Cen Shiwang's father, said to Mrs. Cen with a playful face.

"Then it depends on what kind of ability he has, which is worthy of our Cen family's action." Old lady Cen replied nonchalantly, and then instructed Cen Musheng: "Musheng, you go and see it for me." Remember, no matter what benefits he promises, don't rush to say yes. When he's gone, let's have some discussion. ”

Cen Musheng nodded in agreement, and then took the housekeeper to the partial flower hall in the front yard. Before the person walked into the door, a hearty voice reached Shen Yun's ears: "I don't know if Shen Xianzun is coming, he is not welcome, and he still looks at Haihan." ”

Shen Yun was originally sitting in the partial flower hall drinking tea, and when he heard this voice, he couldn't help laughing. The main owner finally appeared, and thought that he was going to dry himself for a while. Now that you're here, it's easy to talk. got up and stepped forward: "I have a friendship with Brother Shiwang, why should Uncle Cen be polite." Call me Shen Yun is. ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. The virtuous nephew came, and the house was full of splendor, which made me and others happy. It's just that my father came in and felt cold, so it was inconvenient to meet guests, so I could only entertain my nephew. Cen Musheng borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, without the slightest hesitation, and directly called Shen Yunxian's nephew.

When it was just an old fox, Shen Yun thought to himself, but said: "What did my uncle say, Shen Yun was a little uneasy because of the delay. Comfortable and so polite, it made Shen Yun a little unstable. I came here today to have a good chat with my uncle. The Cen family has a good reputation among the people of Anhua, and it is precisely to ask for a lesson or two from Shushu. ”

"I don't dare to ask for advice, if there is anything I don't understand, just ask me. If I had known, I would not have concealed it. Being able to help such a virtuous nephew is also a blessing for me. ”

"I heard that my uncle's family has a family history, and there are many Confucian scholars in the clan, and I feel sorry for it. Our generation of scholars, when we take the world as our own responsibility, how can we want to be happy for a while and ignore the suffering of the people. ”
