Hearing that the soldiers patrolling the defense actually caught a fine work of the Qing army, Zhou Dalang was very happy, he had just changed banners anyway, so he grabbed a fine work, and just tied up and escorted him to Huai'an Mansion to ask for merit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

According to the patrol soldier Ding, he and several smugglers were arrested in the northern part of Fangong Causeway, near Shanyang County, when this person was wrapped in a square scarf on his head, claiming to be a trader, but the brothers had sharp eyes and pulled the square scarf, and they saw the braids on the head of this fine work. After a beating, this meticulous work did not dare to resist, and followed them back to the county very honestly.

Zhou Dalang was eager for meritorious service, so he asked Deng Xiancheng to escort the fine work up, he wanted to come to the court in person, so that he could pry out some information from this fine work, so that he Yancheng County was shrewd and capable, and added a good impression to the top.

After Xizuo was escorted up, Zhou Dalang saw that this Xiaozuo was a middle-aged man, wearing a scholar's Confucian shirt, but it was tattered and tattered, and there were blood stains, and he was limping when he walked, thinking that he was beaten by the soldiers.

Zhou Dalang didn't know if he was dazzled or how, but he always felt that although this fine work was extremely embarrassing, there was a faint sense of arrogance and righteousness on his body, which did not look like a fine work that hid his head and shrunk his tail.

Immediately, Da Lang shook his head secretly and laughed at himself, feeling that he was too eyeless, and he could treat every detail as a big man. He slapped the startling wood hard, making a crisp sound.

"Get on your knees!"

Deng Xiancheng shouted, and the officials also knocked the water and fire sticks on the ground with a loud sound.

Unexpectedly, Na Xiaozuo did not kneel, but suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhou Dalang in the hall and asked: "Presumably you are the local parents, can you tell me which emperor is reigning in this dynasty now?" ”

"Huh? ...”

Zhou Dalang and Deng Xiancheng were a little stunned when they heard this detailed question. Since it is a fine work, how can you not know that this dynasty is now reigning Emperor Dingwu? Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't know this, what kind of work is it? Then the Qing army can't send a fool, right?

Zhou Dalang felt that something was wrong, so he asked Na Xizuo: "Who are you?" ”

He didn't answer, but said: "Don't worry about who I am, and tell me first, which emperor is reigning in this dynasty?" ”

This meticulous expression was extremely calm, there was no fear at all, and his eyes did not wander away from the evasion, and his demeanor became more and more majestic, which made Zhou Dalang more and more confused, and he didn't know who the other party was. He suspected that the other party was not a clan that was lost among the people, and when he heard that the Ming Dynasty had restored the southern capital and came to defect, he was worried about offending the other party, so he said hard-headedly: "Now the reigning emperor of this dynasty is Emperor Dingwu." ”

"Emperor Dingwu?"

After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a look of disappointment, and he was silent, as if he was thinking about something, and asked again: "Where is the Yongli Emperor?" ”

"It's... I don't know. ”

After Zhou Dalang finished speaking, he glanced at Deng Xiancheng, the two looked at each other, although they did not communicate verbally, but they all thought of a piece in their hearts - this person is afraid that he is not meticulous.

At this time, I heard the fine work raise his voice and say: "Gu Yanwu in Xia Kunshan!" ”

As soon as the name was reported, Zhou Dalang was so shocked that he stood up from the chair, and Deng Xiancheng also shouted: "Mr. Tinglin?!"

"Are you really Mr. Tinglin?"

Kunshan Gu Yanwu's name, Zhou Dalang is like thunder in his ears, although he had realized that there was something wrong with this fine work, but he couldn't connect this person with Gu Yanwu, a great Confucian in Jiangnan.

When the officials saw the appearance of the two adults, they were all confused, and they didn't know what kind of immortal Gu Yanwu was, who could make the county zun and the county cheng lose their temper so much.

Gu Yanwu arched his hand slightly, and said calmly: "Gu Yanwu is Gu Yanwu, what am I pretending to be doing with him?" If you don't believe me, and take out my seal from the soldier who has bound me, you will. ”

Hearing this, Deng Xiancheng hurriedly ordered the soldiers who had kidnapped Gu Yanwu to hand over the things they had searched from Gu Yanwu. Those soldiers also understood that they were afraid of offending the big man, so they hurriedly handed over their things.

Deng Xiancheng picked it up, and sure enough, he found Gu Yanwu's private seal, looked at the books that Gu Yanwu was carrying, and ordered someone to find Gu Yanwu's anthology.

"How did you arrest Mr. Kunshan Tinglin as a meticulous work! It's really a big water that washed the Dragon King Temple, and I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes! ”

"Since you are Mr. Tinglin, why didn't you say it earlier, sir, please sit down!"

Zhou Dalang and Deng Xiancheng rushed to Gu Yanwu almost at the same time, and the two of them supported Gu Yanwu on the left and right, and asked Gu Yanwu to sit down without saying anything. As for the confusion between the two, Gu Yanwu said that he was a great Confucian, but the Great Confucian was the same as that Xiucai, and he couldn't be justified when he encountered soldiers.

Three years ago, after Gu Yanwu visited Xiaoling, he returned to Kunshan to sell his property and made a grand wish that he would travel all over the mountains and rivers of the north in this life, in order to prepare for the restoration of the country in the future. He is alone, wandering uncertainly, footprints all over Shandong, North Zhili, Shanxi, Henan and other places, twists and turns, except for a very few friends know where he goes, outsiders do not know. Along the way, in order to avoid the search and arrest of the Qing court, he also used a pseudonym, and he also suffered a lot. Because of this, he was ignorant of what was happening in the south.

In Layue last year, Gu Yanwu went north to Shanhaiguan, originally wanting to see Jinzhou and Dalinghe's hometown outside the pass, but because of the Manchu blockade, the Han people were not allowed to leave the customs, so he couldn't make the trip, so he had to hang on a stone ancient battlefield in Shanhaiguan. After leaving Shanhaiguan, he originally wanted to go to Shanxi to walk outside the mouth, but halfway he heard a fur caravan from Henan say that the war situation in the south had changed dramatically, and the emperor Fulin went south to defeat and returned, and now Nanjing has been restored by the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty has made a comeback.

This news surprised and delighted Gu Yanwu, and he immediately gave up going to Kouwai, turned around and returned to Jiangnan to serve the Ming Dynasty. However, because of the unfavorable war, the Qing court's control over the north became more and more powerful, and more checkpoints were set up in various places to check pedestrians.

After the boat arrived in Haizhou, the owner of the boat refused to go south again, so Gu Yanwu had no choice but to go ashore in a fishing village along the coast of Haizhou. At that time, Haizhou was still under the control of the Qing army, and Gu Yanwu did not dare to take the official road, so he had to grope all the way south along the seaside. On the road, he bumped into a few men who sold smuggled salt, and those smuggling salt dealers saw that Gu Yanwu was an extraordinary export, but he was a learned person, so they took him along, and they took care of him all the way. When he went to Fangong Dike in Yancheng, he was arrested by the soldiers of Yancheng County.

Gu Yanwu didn't come forward and said that he was Kunshan Gu Tinglin, but those soldiers didn't know his name at all, and only regarded him as a Qing army and beat him half to death. The louder he spoke of who he was, the more fierce the soldier became. Gu Yanwu knew that he was a soldier who was a showman, and he couldn't say anything, so he simply stopped saying nothing and let these soldiers take him to the county seat. Otherwise, God knows if these big-headed soldiers who have eyes and don't know Mount Tai will beat him Kunshan Gu Tinglin to death.

"I'm really wronged sir, those bastards don't know Taishan, and the students will clean them up when they turn around!"

After listening to Gu Yanwu's account of the "courtesy" he received in Yancheng County, Zhou Dalang's face was very embarrassed, who is Gu Yanwu? That is the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, and his prestige is not under Qian Qianyi. Not only this Jiangnan, but also the whole country, who dares to disrespect Gu Yanwu at all? As a result, he was so humiliated by the big-headed soldiers in his own territory, and when it was spread out that the world corporal Lin was afraid that he would scold Zhou Dalang to death.

Deng Xiancheng also wiped his cold sweat while apologizing to Gu Yanwu. Fortunately, Gu Yanwu is a generous person, and those who don't know are not to blame for this matter, and this reason can be regarded as a comfort to himself, otherwise he would not be able to deal with a group of big-headed soldiers.

Zhou Dalang asked boldly: "But I don't know why Mr. came to my Yancheng?" ”

Gu Yanwu didn't hide it from him, and bluntly said that when he heard about the recovery of the southern capital, he deliberately returned from the north, and now he wants to go to the southern capital.

After hearing this, Zhou Dalang hurriedly said that he would prepare a carriage in Yancheng County, and escort Gu Yanwu to Nandu. Gu Yanwu also suffered too much along the way, and suffered from his flesh and skin in Yancheng County, and he did not shirk it at the moment.

That night, Zhou Dalang and Deng Xiancheng were in the county government to wash the dust for Gu Yanwu, and invited several famous gentry in the county to sit with them. When those gentry learned that Gu Yanwu was here, everyone was very excited, and they called "Mr. Tinglin" one by one, which made Gu Yanwu, who had been floating alone in the north for three years, sigh with emotion.

Because Gu Yanwu was anxious to go to the southern capital, Zhou Dalang and they were not easy to stay, so they prepared a carriage to send Gu Yanwu to Yangzhou the next day, and sent someone to Huai'an Mansion to report the news. After Huai'an Mansion got the news of the appearance of the great Confucian Gu Yanwu, he immediately rushed to the southern capital to report the news.
