Nanjing Guozijian is located in Chengxian Street, Jinwu Houwei, only one street away from Shangyuan County School. It is east to Xiaoying, west to the Xianghe River, south to the Pearl Bridge, north to Jiming Mountain, if you use the area of land, roughly equivalent to the central area of the palace city of the Six Dynasties. At the height of the Yongle Dynasty, the number of students in prison here approached 10,000. Although the number has now plummeted to thousands, and the prisoners are also regarded as miscellaneous origins, but the Hongzhi Emperor has been in power for many years to rectify the two prisons, and the north and south prisons have used famous Confucianism, Xie Duo is used in the north, and Zhang Mao is used in the south.

However, if people pass by Chengxian Street at this time, they can't hear this sound at all. This time, from justice, reverence, and Guangye to cultivation, sincerity, and leadership, all the six 15 branch halls were suspended, and the reason was very simple, the Guozi Priest Jiu Zhangmao and Siye Luo Qinshun led more than 30 scholars under their command to deal with the students who made mistakes in the rope hall. Originally, this punishment of students was the law set by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and it was inevitable that someone would be punished throughout the year, but among the five or six people punished today, there was Fu Hengan, the heir of Fu Rong, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, which was naturally a sensational news.

As a result, in the crowd at the door of the rope hall at this moment, the prisoners were not only whispering to each other, but the voices of some people had even reached the point of tearing their voices apart.

"It should have been punished a long time ago, the prisoner was not allowed to leave for no reason, this was the rule of the Taizu period, he relied on the momentum of Gonggong Fu, and repeatedly violated the prison rules, what is this!"

"You can't say that, if Father-in-law Fu is angry and investigates it, won't our Guozi Prison have another trouble? It's good that Master Zhang can't rub sand in his eyes, but if we lose such a famous teacher, wouldn't it be a big loss? ”

"This Fu Hengan usually looks honest, how can he cheat in the monthly exam this time!"

"Knowing the face and not knowing the heart, how can it be good to be a kid who is the heir of a eunuch?"

Among the people who are talking, naturally not everyone is cynical, and there are also many people who are keen on power because of Fu Rong's high position, and they used to want to tie up with this Fu Gongzi, but Fu Hengan has a strange temper and does not get along with anyone, but now he is suddenly unlucky, but he really stands by and gloarts. Even if there are so few people who want to help, they can't do anything but send the news, so they can only do it outside the rope hall.

In the rope hall, in the middle of the bright room, several scholars were talking in low voices, and in the inner room, the prince of the country was supervising the wine Zhang Mao, and the priest Luo Qinshun was meeting the guests. Zhao Qin from the Nanjing Engineering Department and Zhao Qin from the Criminal Department gave Shi Zhong, although the grade is low, Zhang Mao has always valued talent and morality, and he praised the two of them for leading the letter to ask for the dismissal of redundant officials and meritorious workers, so they actually took the time to meet at this juncture. Only after listening to Zhao Qin's persuasion at this moment, his face suddenly sank like water.

Zhang Mao, who is nearly seventy years old, has more than half of his hair white, but his spirit is very vigorous, especially the eyes that are not angry and arrogant. When he was young, he was degraded because of the persuasion of the Chenghua Emperor Lantern Festival lantern, but he got the reputation of the four admonitions of Hanlin, and after moving to the left place, he made remarkable political achievements, and he was only forty-one years old when he went to the book to return to the countryside to teach, and was called Mr. Fengshan for a while, and the court summoned him several times, and he insisted on resigning. Even the official title of the prince of Nanjing, he refused because of his father's funeral, and Emperor Hongzhi waited for three years before he finally took office, which shows that he is a decent person.

At this time, he was silent for a long time before he raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, let me open up to Fu Hengan?" ”

Zhang Mao is one of the four gentlemen of the Southern Capital, and Zhao Qin, who often messes with these clear streams, naturally knows his surname very well, and when he sees Zhang Mao's expression and questioning, he knows that this prince of the country is already very displeased. Although this was the result he wanted most, he still pretended to owe it with concern and said: "Da Sicheng, Nanjing Guozijian can have this thriving atmosphere today, and it is inseparable from the painstaking maintenance of you and Shao Sicheng. If it's just for the son of a eunuch, it will attract the eunuchs to hate the group and attack, it is really worth the loss! ”

Zhao Qin's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and the Empress Shi was upright, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Da Sicheng, what Brother Zhao said is indeed worrying. The big secretary has become the expectation of everyone, and it is easy to mention the southern prison, if there is anything unexpected because of offending the eunuch, how will the students of the southern prison deal with themselves? Even Shao Sicheng and the scholars under him may also be implicated......"

Nanjing Guozijian Siye Luo Qinshun was modest, and when he heard this, he was originally going to persuade him, but Zhang Mao had already been told by the words of Zhao Qinshi, and Huo Ran immediately stood up and said sharply: "You don't need to say it anymore!" Back then, because of the Lantern Festival, the old man was beaten by the court cane and had no regrets, but now the criminal prisoner is a lawyer, how can he retreat because he is afraid of being framed? In this way, how can the old man control so many prisoners in the sixth hall of the Guozijian? The order was sent down, and the execution was carried out immediately after half an hour, and according to the prison rules, not a single bamboo board should be missing. If anyone dares to show mercy, they will immediately retreat! ”

When it comes to this, it is naturally difficult for others to say anything. Zhao Qin knew that the heat was enough, so he showed a helpless expression, and got up to say goodbye after pulling Shi. When the two walked out of the tall wooden archway on the fourth archway side by side, Empress Shi Shao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh that Zhang Mao was still such a hard bone when he was old, and Zhao Qin echoed in his mouth, but the corners of his mouth showed a smug smile.

Fiddling with this Zhang Mao and Fu Hengan, two pedantic scholars, an old man and a young man, are they not ready to be caught? No matter how scheming Fu Rong is, he will definitely clash head-on with Zhang Mao for the sake of his adopted son, coupled with his way to Jingshitong and the twists and turns of impeachment, at that time, the Nanjing garrison eunuch who looks at the old eunuch will not be able to reach the end! Without Fu Rong's protection, Xu Li's side could let him retreat. Master Xu's prestige has been lost, for the patriarch's position not to be left behind, for Xu Dong's eldest son, he didn't dare to disobey him at all, thinking that the paper had already been concocted, and Xu Xun, who dared to go against him, would be too late to kneel in front of him and beg for mercy!

However, before the two of them could get in the car and leave, there was a sudden commotion not far away, and there was even the sound of gongs and drums beating in the middle. The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Qin's first thought was that Fu Rong came to Xingshi to ask about the crime when he learned about it, and couldn't help but gently stroke the neatly combed long beard on his chin, secretly thinking about how to use the topic next. However, when he saw the vast group of people coming from the east, he only felt his pupils shrink suddenly, and he was stunned for a while.

Zhao Qin was just stunned, and Empress Shi was so shocked that her jaw was about to drop. I saw that the gongs and drums were beating gongs and drums, surrounded by a large number of onlookers, and there were a bunch of warblers and swallows, all of which were painted with heavy makeup, which was clearly the most common singer on the Qinhuai River. The two of them have been officials in Nanjing for more than a day or two, and this is the first time they have seen this situation in their lives, and after the initial dumbfounding, they only felt a shock in their heads at the same time, and almost without thinking about it, they ordered their entourage to come forward to investigate.

However, before the inquirer stepped forward to ask for the roots, the leader of a plump woman with a tall bun crossed her hands and shouted: "Qin Luosheng, you have no conscience, you come out for the old lady!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the women who followed behind immediately began to scold, everyone called different names in their mouths, and the people around were talking and pointing there, but it was just a matter of time, and I don't know how many people came out of the neighborhood to watch the excitement, and they actually crowded the gate of Guozijian, which was the most solemn in the past. At first, the various sounds were just pressing, but gradually under the deliberate instigation of someone, they slipped into some uncontrollable directions.

"He also said that the prison style was solemn, and the scoop didn't give money on credit, tsk, it's really Sven sweeping the floor!"

"What is this, look at it over there, there is still a man, oops, I can't imagine that the students and scholars of Guozijian still have such heavy tastes."

"What do you know, the rule set by our grandfather is that officials are not allowed to stay with women, but that is a woman, of course men are not among them. It's really high, if it doesn't violate the law, the court can't do anything about them, who can take care of it? ”

"There is also a pearl fetus that has been secretly abandoned from the beginning to the end, doesn't the law say that the good and the poor cannot intermarry, and it is said that these prisoners in the southern prison now come out with both literature and science, and even forget the rules of the ancestors?"

All kinds of doubts are boiling, even if they don't come forward to inquire, Zhao Qin and Shi Hou can hear it clearly. Compared with the latter's iron-blue face, although Zhao Qin's face was better, the fists in his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his nails almost sank into the flesh. He didn't expect that he planned this drama after deliberately hearing that Fu Rong and Zheng Qiang were not in the city, but he made such a mistake in the middle of the way. It was like a slap in the face on Xing's head, making him dizzy.

"What did the Ying Tianfu Ya do, what did the Shangyuan County Ya do, and the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division......" Zhao Qin finally couldn't help but be furious, and immediately shouted at an entourage, "What are you still doing in a daze, go to those three places to report and call people, and let the people of the city see the jokes for a long time!" ”

ps: Dozens of academic officials are in charge of thousands of people, if only modern universities were so streamlined......
