Hu Liang has already discussed with a few imperial historians, what kind of words should be used to ask Zhang Mao at that time, and several people are sure that this trip will make a fuss, and Zhang Mao will no longer be able to occupy a place among the four gentlemen of the Southern Capital, and several of them will be famous in the future. However, full of confidence, he saw a large group of prisoners rushing up, and he was completely stunned for a while, and it took a long time for him to suddenly react.

It must have been Zhang Mao who instructed these prisoners!

Before he could scold him, the young prisoner led by him waved at the officials, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today I will leave the country without permission when I have time to ask for leave in the future, Da Si Cheng doesn't know, it's us people who make our own opinions, but in the final analysis, we can't see anyone maliciously slandering Da Si Cheng!" Just yesterday, it was this lord......"

He pointed at Hu Liang with his hand, and then raised his voice and said: "It is this lord who took the other two people to meet Da Sicheng in the fourth archway of the south gate of Guozijian, and made a big statement in public, accusing Da Sicheng of a false crime!" I can't stand it, if it weren't for Da Sicheng to stop me, I would wait for the students of Nanjian, I'm afraid that I will leave them in Nanjian and give an explanation! ”

The young prisoner's eloquence was so good that he never mentioned that one of them slapped Hu Liang, but only said that Zhang Mao had blocked their impulse. Speaking of this, seeing that Hu Liang's face turned blue with anger, he didn't give him a chance to speak at all, took a diagonal step to let go of the way behind his body, and then said loudly: "I think that if the students talk in the vernacular, the adults will definitely not believe it, but the students who saw this scene yesterday are not the only students, so let them re-enact the scene of the day, and let the adults debate the rights and wrongs!" ”

When he let him do this, four people immediately rushed forward. One of them deliberately pinched his nose to learn from Hu Liang's speech at the time: "Zhang Demao, if it weren't for the Tianfu trial of Zhao Qin's case......

The prisoner recounted Hu Liang's words yesterday word for word, and then an old-looking prisoner immediately stroked his beard and said in Zhang Mao's calm tone: "You three specially came to find the old man......

After a back-and-forth verbal exchange, the inmate who pretended to be Hu Liang at the beginning learned Hu Liang's fierce appearance to the fullest. When he learned from Hu Liang's vicious appearance and put down the last cruel sentence, Hu Liang, who was so angry that his stomach hurt, his liver hurt, and he finally couldn't help it. He shouted loudly, "You guys...... You are spewing blood! ”

"It's you sven scum who spew blood!" The young prisoner who gave up the place for the four prisoners to perform this play returned to the forefront position, and in the face of Hu Liang's fire-breathing gaze, he was fearless and stiff back, "Da Sicheng was degraded by the court staff for his outspokenness, and became one of the four admonitions of the Hanlin Dynasty, and after being demoted to Fujian, he let the people open mines to eliminate bandits, suggested that the trade of goods should be exchanged to enrich the merchants, and the tax on the land reclamation of the sea flats was reduced to light the people's burden. It is a model for Shilin! What kind of merit do you have, what kind of work do you have, just with this little lip service, you want to ruin the name of Da Si Cheng for half his life? ”

As he spoke, he raised his arms and shouted: "Fellow friends, the words and deeds of those four just now, can there be a sentence that slanders him? ”

Chi Xing didn't want to be dragged here, but he saw such a happy scene, and he was the first to echo loudly: "Absolutely not!" With his voice, the prisoners immediately echoed it, and the sound was deafening.

"Don't listen to them...... Don't listen to their nonsense......"

Seeing Hu Liang's face pale. The young prisoner said word by word: "In this important place of the Tribute Courtyard, the famous name of the Confucian sage is on the top, and the things we just said yesterday are like a half-word of nonsense. Discipline me and wait for a lifetime to waste my life, and I have tried and failed repeatedly! If you think that we have slandered you with nonsense, do you dare to swear in the name of a saint here, if you want to seek fame and progress by attacking Da Sicheng, and discipline the officialdom in this life and this world? Speaking of this, seeing Hu Liang's lips trembling, but he didn't speak for a long time, he only paused slightly and shouted: "Because you have a ghost in your heart, you don't dare!" If it is because of a despicable villain like you, who is so tired that the great priest asks for a reason, where is there justice in this world! Today, I have broken the prison rules. Uncover the abominable face of villains like you, too! ”

This scene came one after another, and most of the officials were stunned, but among the relatively young officials, some people were infected by this scene and had a fever in their hearts. blurted out a hello. Although this voice was immediately interrupted by a light cough from his colleagues, Hu Liang saw that there was pity, disgust, and disdain in the eyes of his colleagues and officials around him...... But there was only no sympathy, especially the big guys led by Zhang Shihua and Lin Han, whose eyes were terrifyingly cold, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"It's not...... It's not ......"

Before he could say a word, Zhang Mao sighed deeply. Shen Sheng drank the young prisoner and stopped, and then said in a deep voice: "It's all a little bit of a battle of will yesterday. Why? As I said yesterday, you have come to study in the South Prison. I'm not here to learn this kind of boring stuff! Before I came out, I came down to report that you were missing inexplicably, and I was so angry that I had already made people make a public announcement, but I didn't want you to make trouble in this place! If you are sincere in learning, no matter who is in charge of the country, you can do a good job in writing and learning, you need to have such self-confidence! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao turned around and arched his hand at everyone: "Today was originally a good day, and all the branches were because of me, an insignificant person, and it was really my fault." Yesterday, Hu Qishi once questioned me about Pingbeibo, but even now, I can also say that I have a clear conscience! Not to mention that after he entered Beijing, whether it was training or military exploits, they were all real deals, that is, he donated money to repair the Confucian Temple of Gongyuan in Nanjing, and poured out all his family wealth, no matter what the purpose was, it was a good deed after all. If you do good deeds and you have to die to do good with your heart, although you do not reward good, you have no intention to do evil, and if you do not punish evil, then what is the use of the law and morality? I said this before, and I still say this, if he hadn't taken the martial arts path, otherwise I would be willing to accept him as a disciple! ”

Zhang Mao was in Nanjing for many years before the priest of the wine, but also in Nanjing for many years as the left commentator of the Dali Temple, Nanjing officials are not unfamiliar with him, even if the friendship is ordinary, most of them also know that this is a stubborn old man who can't pull back nine horses, not to mention that most of the people who have deep friendships respect his character. After looking at the one out and one out just now, everyone knew that it was a few officials who wanted to seek fame by attacking Zhangmao, so Zhang Shihua coughed lightly and said: "Demao, it's just a few shallow people who want to cater to the princes of the court, which affects you." ”

Zhang Fuhua's light and fluttering words of a shallow person suddenly made Hu Liang and others look ashen and devastated as if they were mourning. After all, Zhang Fuhua's reputation in Nanjing is even better than Zhang Mao's, and this sentence spreads, not to mention that they don't even think about being transferred to Beijing officials, but I'm afraid that their careers will basically come to an end. What made them even more at a loss was that Lin Han, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry who they thought they had already drawn a line with Zhang Mao, actually nodded along with him.

"That's a good point. I am waiting for Nanjing officials, it is not that our words and deeds must rely on the discussion of the Central Cabinet, and the people are the most unacceptable! At the beginning, I had seen Xu Xun at Demao's place, and regardless of the rest, his demeanor was frank, if he was really a traitor, at least I was deceived by him at the beginning...... Speaking of which, let's come to see this tribute courtyard in advance today, which is contrary to the holy will for the time being, and it is not bright enough. Since you've been interrupted by these students of yours, let's just go home! It's just that you, the students, should also warn and admonish, otherwise they will be happy at this time, and it will be too late to regret it one day! ”…,

A big turmoil, a few people said a few words, and it subsided. However, the aftermath of this incident affected all the mansions that day, and it was just a few happy and a few sad. Xu Xun, who temporarily lived in Fu Mansion on Changfu Street, learned from Chen Lu about the scene that happened in Nanjing Gongyuan on this day, even if he was the initiator, he couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and smile bitterly.

Death for a confidant...... Zhang Mao stubbornly defended him like this, how could he repay him?

"I just spread such news to Nanjing Guozijian according to my uncle's instructions, I didn't expect it to cause such a wave, and the leader is extremely smart, which is unexpected."

Chen Lu is now in charge of Nanjing Jinyiwei, which is much more authoritative than when he was just a name and has few people under his hands. But the more this is the case, the more he feels that the world is impermanent when he sits in front of Xu Xun. Back then, such a young man who wanted to survive was still rare, but now he is already the vanguard of the Son of Heaven Xinchen in charge of the Yinfu Army, and he dared to set off such a fierce collision as soon as he arrived in Nanjing.

Xu Xun didn't pay attention to Chen Lu's expression, and pondered for a while before asking, "What is the name of that impassioned prisoner, and where is it?" ”

"It's a native of Guixi, Jiangxi, called Xia Yan, the word Gongjin, but it is a fight with the eloquence of Zhou Gongjin of the Three Kingdoms."

Xia Yan ...... Xia Yan! ”

Xu Xun was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he laugh dumbly, "No wonder there is such a eloquent and eloquent person, it turns out that this person ......"

Seeing that Chen Lu was surprised when he heard this, he naturally wouldn't explain to him how he could know such a person, and after a pause, he said: "Mr. Zhang has a sincere love for me, I'm afraid he would never have thought that this incident was the news that I gave to those prisoners...... However, as long as he can stay in the Guozi Prison, it is inevitable to play some tricks, otherwise with his temperament, he will definitely hide from those prisoners until Zhishi! Lord Chen, please gradually spread this matter today, slower and more steady, so that if someone goes to find the trouble of those prisoners, they also have to be skeptical of wind comments! ”

"Yes, Pingbeibo rest assured." Chen Lu hurriedly owed, and then smiled again, "Uncle Pingbei will still call me by my name in the future, I can't afford the three words of Lord Chen." ”

Twenty years in Hedong and twenty years in Hexi, although it has only been two years instead of twenty years, Xu Xun is no longer what it used to be, and it doesn't hurt for him to lower his posture!
