Chapter 1176 It's not begging, it's blackmailing
Ji Ning came out of Li Xiu'er and went straight to the main courtyard.
There were dozens of gentry in Jinling City, and there were more than 100 people in the gift-giving procession they carried, and the entire Ji Mansion was noisy inside and outside, and He An's ability could not maintain order at all.
"Master Ji, are you coming back? We thought you would stay in the capital for a few more years, but we didn't expect you to become a bachelor so soon and return to Jinling City to benefit the party! ”
A group of people walked up to Ji Ning with compliments, they seemed to want to have a relationship with Ji Ning, but unfortunately Ji Ning didn't have any patience with them, these people seemed to him like some maggots that tended to be inflammatory.
It was these people who sneered at him back then, and even looked down on him, but now after his rise, they came to his mansion to stammer, trying to establish a relationship with him, so as to obtain the imperial court's immunity from the suppression of the remnants of King Chong.
"Everyone!" As soon as Ji Ning raised his hand, he suddenly snorted, and this sound made the scene instantly quiet.
"Bachelor Ji has something to say?" Someone looked at Ji Ning and walked over with a compliment in his tone.
Ji Ning nodded slightly and said, "There are some words below, I really don't vomit and feel unhappy, I don't know if you want to listen to it?" ”
Everyone present was laughing, but there was a little bitterness in their smiles, they knew very well that Ji Ning could not save so many families with the power of one person, unless Ji Ning was willing to come forward, but Ji Ning's appearance would violate the principle of neutrality in the Temple of Literature, so they only had great expectations for Ji Ning.
"Let's put it this way!" Ji Ning didn't give these people a chance to talk, and said directly, "I came back from the capital in Xia, just a bachelor in the Temple of Literature, and I just came back on an errand, except for the affairs of the Temple of Literature, I can't take care of it in the next place, and I don't want to take care of it, so please bring back the things you sent!" ”
A squire said nervously: "Master Ji, you are a native of Jinling who was left by Ling Zun at the beginning, how can you be so ignorant of the affairs in Jinling City?" In Jinling City, there is a catastrophe now, but all Jinling people need to come out to face it, not you can get out of it alone! ”
Although some people in the audience blamed the squire for speaking too directly, the squire finally said what everyone present wanted to say.
The scene instantly fell silent again, and everyone was looking at Ji Ning, wondering what kind of answer Ji Ning would have.
Ji Ning said: "Your mood can be understood below, but I am just an ordinary scholar of the Temple of Literature below, I really can't control a lot of things, if you have to be strong, then please leave, I will not make it difficult for you below, from now on, please don't come to the door of my Ji Mansion!" ”
"Master Ji, you are so ruthless, you don't leave any affection at all!" The squire seemed to be annoyed, and scolded Ji Ning with a moral height.
He An was a little resentful and said: "Everyone, this is my Ji Mansion, you must not be presumptuous here!" ”
"What kind of dog are you, you dare to interrupt Lao Tzu!" The squire said angrily.
He An was reprimanded and looked very helpless, in the eyes of those officials and gentry, the subordinates were indeed not qualified to speak in this kind of scene, but Ji Ning had always given him respect.
Ji Ning sneered: "This is my doorman, and it is also my family, if you insult my family in my house, you are insulting me, come on, please let this person out, I don't want to see him again!" ”
The squire didn't expect that Ji Ning would be so disrespectful, he wanted to come and scold Ji Ning again, but there were already two people who came over and walked out directly.
The squire struggled, scolding, but the man had already been taken away.
……
……
After the squire was dragged out, the rest of the people did not dare to do anything more.
In the end, this is Ji Ning's mansion, come to someone else's house to be presumptuous, even if they are bombed out, they can't do anything, after all, they themselves are asking for others.
Ji Ning said: "Everyone, it's not too early, and it's not convenient to hold a banquet in the house today, please go back!" By the way, please also bring back your gifts, as a person in the Temple of Literature, I don't want to interfere in the political affairs of Jinling City, and these things have nothing to do with it! ”
"Why is it okay?" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "You Ji Ning and the prince of Chongwangfu were originally very close, and now that something has happened to Chongwangfu, you can get out of the matter?" We also have to go to the government to report you, saying that you are close to the prince of Chongwang, and let the government come to inquire about you! ”
This is a bit intimidating, and Ji Ning is not stunned, because he knows that his relationship with the prince of Chongwang will not affect his status.
In this era, literary exchanges are a very common thing, as long as it is not someone who has funded the Chongwang Mansion, it stands to reason that he will not be investigated, and he is now a bachelor of the Confucian Temple, basically with immunity.
Ji Ning said: "If you want to denounce it, then please do it, I still have the heart to treat you well, since this is the case, then everyone please go back, if anyone doesn't leave, you are not welcome!" ”
Salute first and then soldier, Ji Ning doesn't want to entangle with the person in front of him.
In his opinion, these wealthy families in front of him look glamorous on the outside, but in fact, they are all ruined on the outside, and it is not worth communicating and exchanging with these people at all.
"Ji Ning, you wait, we'll make you look good!" The local gentry usually show off their might, and there are many people who look down on Ji Ning, and they also think that Ji Ning's bachelor of the Temple of Literature is nothing remarkable.
scolded and left one by one, and Ji Ning looked at the people present, so he didn't care about their cold words, for Ji Ning, as long as he took care of his own affairs, he didn't have to care whether these people were righteous or not, because he didn't care about the relationship with these people.
Maybe you won't have to deal with these people for the rest of your life.
He An came in to help send off the guests, and the people present also left with a little unhappiness, and when they left, a group of people were still counting Ji Ning, and they seemed to think that Ji Ning was not humane enough, as a person from Jinling, they didn't help when they saw that the gentry of Jinling City were in trouble.
After everyone left, He An walked back and said, "Master, it seems that the local gentry will not stop!" ”
"How can they not give up? As I said, local affairs have nothing to do with me, if they are not angry, let them go to the Temple of Literature to support them, what does it mean to find a scholar like me? Now it's going to be threatened against me, and I've never seen someone begging for something like this! Ji Ning said very unpleasantly.
He An said with a little regret: "Maybe they also think that Ji Mansion has an outstanding status in Jinling City, and I hope the master can come forward!" ”
