Chapter 12 Killing Sticks, Tofu Prints
When he arrived at the county seat of Shexian County last night, it was late, and Wang Fulin had something in his heart, so he only had time to glance at the school palace, and later when he came here to find Jinbao, it was even darker and he didn't have time to see anything. Therefore, early in the morning, he met Xu Jie and the other three at the door of the Majia Inn, and when he took Jinbao and followed them to the ground, he appreciated the true situation of this Shexian School Palace.
The so-called Shexian School Palace, that is, the county school, includes a series of buildings such as Minglun Hall, Ziyang Academy, Confucian Temple, Wengong Ancestral Hall, and Education Department, which is located in the east of the county government and is next to the Ziyang Gate in the northeast of Shexian County. The southernmost side is the Confucian Temple, which sits on the north and faces south, that is, the Confucian Temple, the west is the Wengong Temple, and the northernmost side is the Minglun Hall and Ziyang Academy, which are next to each other. Although Minglun Hall is a government-run school for serious students to study, and the Ziyang Academy built in the shooting garden is rebuilt, but it still uses the previous name, but all of them are open to the majority of students, and they are all in the school palace building, and the latter has a somewhat official nature.
At this moment, it was already past the hour, except for Wang Fulin who was wearing a blue wide-sleeved round-neck shirt, wearing a silk soft scarf and hanging belt, and waiting in front of the gate with Jinbao, there were more than 100 people on the opposite side who were exactly dressed like him, and they were obviously also county students who were going to see the Grand Master today. Despite the large number of people, there was not the slightest noise. Among these all-in-one lines, Wang Fulin looked at it casually, and didn't bother to find Cheng Naixuan, but hoped that this guy would not appear, or not rashly mix it up after he appeared, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
Wang Fulin just glanced at others, why weren't others looking at him?
Especially those students from She County, since they started to work, they have been divided into two distinct factions, even among the dozen or so people who entered school in the same year. Cheng Naixuan and several new talents who are familiar with each other firmly believe that the rumors of unfilial piety and cheating are false, and the so-called buying a nephew as a slave is just Wang Fulin being deceived by others. The other people have reservations about unfilial piety and cheating, but they feel that Wang Fulin is a nerd, and it is abnormal for the county test ranking to be so high, and such an unthinkable thing as buying a nephew as a slave will be done, and it can be seen that the character is even more visible.
At this moment, someone sneered in a low voice: "If this Wang Fulin is really dismissed today, my Shexian Shilin will be discredited!" ”
"Isn't that what the goss-mongers want to see the most?" Cheng Naixuan sneered, his face full of anger, "Such a big thing, we have so many students in She County, but we can't unite and let outsiders see the joke!" ”
"Brother Xuan!" Seeing that Cheng Naixuan brazenly made a big move to ridicule the group, his clan brother Cheng Kui had to snort, which was half a warning to the clan brother, and half a reminder to others, "This time the matter is menacing, and some people even accuse Ye Xianzun for this, the great grandmaster is aware of everything, and he will definitely make a clear decision." However, this matter does have a very bad impact on Shilin in Shexian County, and we must find out who is behind it. ”
"No matter who it is, if it is true, it is also the right thing to clean up Wang Fulin, the black sheep!" The student who spoke just now refused to let go, and looked at Cheng Naixuan provocatively and said, "Or is it true that Cheng Dagongzi and that Wang Fulin are the same dog, and when his father was seriously ill, he also sent prostitutes to ......."
Cheng Naixuan was furious: "You have the courage to say it again to me!" ”
"Enough!" Seeing that his own people were making trouble at this time, Cheng Kuideng was angry and shouted, "At this time, there will be infighting, what will it look like if it reaches the ears of the great grandmaster!" ”
On the other side, Wang Fulin could only see the small commotion among the students of She County, but he didn't pay attention to it. Taking advantage of this last bit of effort, he was teaching Jinbao face-to-face, instructing him to stay where he was, not to walk around in any way, and to strictly prevent the kind of oolong incident like last night.
"The Great Grandmaster Xuan Zhusheng has entered the meeting!"
With this voice, everyone began to rush in through the gate. The outer wall of the school palace is more than two people high, the waves are undulating, the red pill is decorated, and the gate is a halberd gate with four pillars and three gates. Entering the gate, it is the half-moon-shaped Pan Pond, in the middle is the three-hole stone arch bridge, after crossing the bridge, the Lingxing Gate, the terrain is getting higher, all the way, Wang Fulin only saw that the buildings in the Confucian Temple are clearly stacked with the ups and downs of the terrain, the building at the highest place should be the Dacheng Hall of the place of sacrifice holes. Although today is not the day of the sacrifice, but more than 100 Xiucai still bowed down here to give a salute, and then went around to the Minglun Hall in the back, and the real county school in the narrow sense is actually here.
If the building of Dacheng Hall is magnificent, then Minglun Hall is solemn, the style of black and white, but it feels different from the ordinary emblem building, and it feels depressing at first glance. Wang Fulin knew in his heart that once he crossed the threshold, he would have to face the great grandmaster who controlled the fate of many prefectures and counties in Nanzhili, but at this moment, he could only let out a long breath and drive out all the tension and insecurity.
He's even died, so what's there to be afraid of?
The rest of the students entered the Minglun Hall first, but Wang Fulin waited alone. After all, Jinbao is not a Confucian student, so he can't enter the school palace casually, so he can only wait at the outermost gate. He will be left here alone, not anxious or impatient, and simply silently recited those scriptures and historical articles that have become indelible memories in his heart.
I have to say that the other functions of these things are not good, but they are very helpful for meditation, and the days he just crossed over before relied on them to sleep peacefully, so now at this moment, he is not in a hurry at all, his eyes and nose are watching his heart, and the old god is in a daze on the ground.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Fulin suddenly heard a commotion from the hall, and when he looked up, he saw two soap subordinates dragging a middle-aged student in a shirt out. I saw that the man kept begging for mercy and justification, but no one listened at all, and the person was pressed down not far from him, and he was gagged again.
Immediately after, two soap subordinates in the same costume came out of Minglun Hall, each carrying a torture staff about the thickness of the little finger in their hands, and after the middle-aged student stood still left and right, the two looked at each other, and without saying a word, they raised the torture staff in their hands, and one of them fell heavily on the buttocks of this student. Although the torture staff was thin, the fierce wind sound it brought was not weak at all, and with every stroke of flesh, he could clearly hear the muffled sound of the crack, and the living man would let out a whimper of pain. It is conceivable that if you don't gag your mouth, you will definitely cry wolf.
Wang Fulin had been distracted just now, and he didn't hear what the great grandmaster said at all, so he silently counted it at this time, and saw that this person had been touched about twenty times, and the executing soap Li put down the torture staff. From this, it seems that the sin is neither light nor severe, otherwise it would not have been completed in twenty strokes. Fortunately, he didn't pick up his pants and left a little dignity, but even so, the back of this unlucky student's clothes had already revealed faint blood stains, and it was obvious that the skin was broken.
Today's case is obviously a trial of him, but someone else was unlucky to be beaten first, is this an example of killing chickens and monkeys?
"The Great Grandmaster has a life, and the epiphytic Wang Fulin will go to the hall!"
Seeing that it was his turn, Wang Fulin dropped his attention to the flogging of others, stepped straight forward and stepped straight over the high threshold of Minglun Hall, and entered the official building in this school palace that was really used for teaching. This Minglun Hall is five rooms wide, Xuan is open and bright, all the tables and chairs have been put away at this moment, and the left and right students are lined up and solemn, it is not like a public court trial, but like a golden palace court.
Sitting upright on the main seat in the center is a middle-aged man in his forties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a few long beards on his chin, which at first glance does not look majestic, but looks like an uncle next door. But it's such an uncle next door, and he has just sent a criminal to kill a thief!
"Students meet the Grand Master."
No matter how many people's eyes fall on him, Wang Fulin does not squint, bows his head and salutes, how respectful and respectful he is. The next moment, all he heard was a slow-pitched voice.
"You are Wang Fulin, a student of She County?"
"It's the students."
"Then do you know what this constitution declares about you?"
Students don't know ......
Wang Fulin knew that if he dared to answer like this, there was a chance that the great master would be furious, and maybe before the next question, he would let himself taste a meal of bamboo shoots and roast pork, so he immediately raised his head, looked directly at the old man boldly, and said unhurriedly: "The students know that it is because it is rumored that the middle school students have disregarded filial piety, cheated in the county test, and bought nephews as slaves. ”
"Now that you know, this constitution allows you to argue!"
What Wang Fulin is most afraid of encountering is the kind of impatient and disobedient grandmaster who shouts and kills and shouts for fame when he comes up. Although he had secretly rehearsed many times for today's situation, he still sorted out his feelings and words a little at this time, and then he opened his mouth.
"First, the student is the only child in the family, and the second elder has always been extremely strict in supervision, since the enlightenment, he has been studying every day, although he has been reading every day. My father is on the go all the year round, and whenever a letter is sent back, it must be based on persuasion. ”
This is what it looks like in the notes, and at this time, Wang Fulin naturally said it confidently: "Before the Taoist exam, the family letter brought by my father strictly ordered students to prepare for the exam at home with peace of mind, and they were not allowed to leave half a step, otherwise it would be disobedience and unfilial piety." My mother went to Hankou to serve the sick, and because she was proficient in arithmetic and could help my father. I She County's studious style is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although there is also social science in the countryside, the unfilial piety of the township is pointed out, try to ask the students if they are not filial, how can the elders of the village send all the way to the city? ”
Speaking of this in one breath, seeing that the great grandmaster on the seat was noncommittal, there was a buzzing discussion among the surrounding students, and then it fell silent, Wang Fulin continued: "Second, the students have never been out of Songming Mountain Village except for these three exams in the past, and they have never been in Songming Mountain Village before the county exam, so how can they cheat? As we all know, the county test, the township test, and the road test, the ranking may not be certain, it is not only a weekday accumulation, but also on-the-spot luck. If the county test is ranked high, and although the Taoist test is successful, it is cheating, so how many sages in the past hundreds of years will also be slandered by this? How many examiners have to be wronged? ”
Among the students, most of them are not very familiar with Wang Fulin, and they only feel that this epiphyte can still speak like a river after watching a killing stick outside, and his psychological quality and on-the-spot performance are quite impressive. Only Cheng Naixuan in the crowd raised his eyebrows in surprise, secretly thinking that this was the virtuous brother who used to be very unsociable when he was in a relationship with others?
After answering these two times, Wang Fulin knew that although these rebuttals were powerful, they were absolutely not refutable to be rigorous. In other words, it's empty talk, nothing more. Anyway, his real focus was on the last one to buy a nephew as a slave, so he adjusted his breathing at this time and decided to come up with a killer weapon and finish his work in one battle.
However, at this moment, he only heard a sudden shout from outside Minglun Hall: "The Great Grandmaster is the master of the small people!" That Wang Fulin did not buy his nephew as a slave, but forced his nephew to be a slave! ”
Xie Tingjie, the superintendent of the hall, immediately sat up straight. Until the middle of the Ming Dynasty, all the provinces in the world have set up special scholars, the rest of the provinces are according to the deputy envoy of the inspector for the study, the north and south of the direct because there is no according to the inspector of the envoy, so to patrol according to the imperial history to supervise the school, the annual township examination examiner also often has to report to the imperial court to send another person, the inspector of the imperial history from the side to assist. Therefore, he, the great master of the school, has just taken office, and he also plans to seize the time and strive to admit a group of students in various prefectures and counties every year in the past three years, and make the results.
He slapped the handrail in annoyance and shouted to the left and right: "Go out and check Benxian, who is roaring outside!" ”
In addition to the scribes, the imperial history patrol will often transfer one or two prisoners of the national eunuch to accompany them, which can be regarded as providing the latter with an opportunity to practice, and they can also rely on such a resume to enter the office in the future, but most of them will end up being a miscellaneous adjutant. Xie Tingjie brought such an old prisoner who was forty years old, and when he heard this, he immediately came out, and after a while, he came in again and saluted: "Great Grandmaster, a man outside claims to be Wang Qiu, the nephew of the Wang Fu Lin clan, and his younger brother is Wang Fu Lin Qiang's slave, and asks the Great Grandmaster to be the master for him. He also said that the deed of sale was fake, but Wang Fulin bought a pawn in a household in She County, and it was stamped with a fake seal carved with a piece of dried tofu! ”
In an instant, there was an uproar in Minglun Hall. This kind of inside story is so powerful that even if the Great Grandmaster is in person, no one can resist the urge to talk to each other.
And Wang Fulin, as the protagonist of today, couldn't help but open his mouth wide at this moment, and he actually had the urge to laugh.
He never thought that Wang Qiu, who cruelly abused his brother and betrayed him, would still hide this trick on the deed of sale at that time, and then make it out of this kind of fateful condition.
However, whether it's true or not, there is a way in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to run into!
