As a result, he was severely beaten by the soldiers under the command of the dog officer Lian Zining, and then instructed Wu Daliang, the commander of Leling County, who colluded with him and was embarrassed, fabricated charges and tortured into tricks, and now he has changed his reputation and sentenced him to the crime of exile Hamiwei as a slave! With Lian Zining's viciousness, I'm afraid that my brother An will die before he arrives in Hamiwei! The young man in the green shirt was already in tears, and cried: "Poor! An Jiaxing is pitiful! Poor for me! We have no power to restrain the chicken, this kind of martial artist, whatever he sees me waiting for, he must give it away, otherwise, it will be a disaster of death! ”

The students below were stunned, and then the next moment, the sluggishness turned into a huge rage! The reason why they are superior, why they are respected in the countryside, why they feel extremely good about themselves, is because they are famous! But anyone who can enter the county to study is already a showman, and he can receive two stones of rice every month, and those who are not married can also have a few hundred yuan of marriage money, and if they become relatives, they will be given two pieces of women's clothes every month.

Fame, which is a real benefit in the Ming Dynasty, represents their transcendent social status and bright development prospects. And now, Lian Zining is so ruthless that he has resorted to the trick of removing his fame! This is tantamount to cutting off their lifelong future, making people no longer hopeful, even worse than killing them!

At this time, a scholar in his thirties who looked more stable stepped onto the stage and shouted: "Everyone, the prosperity of the family is said today, and it is what we are waiting for!" Civil officials guarding the land is a practice set by Emperor Taizu. And in the land of the six counties today, it turned out to be a martial artist who was in charge, what is the difference between it and Wu Ming and Si Chen in the Tang Dynasty? He's just a martial artist, how can he be kind to me and other reading seeds? This person has thousands of troops under his command, and he has to be greedy for ink, how to feed these people? I've heard that he's already planning to cut down on all the talented students in our six counties! It is supposed that the money for the renovation of the county school is gone! ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was another uproar! If An Jiaxing's example before made them afraid and frightened, but it was not so urgent, then now this blockbuster news, like a knife, has hung over their heads.

Most of them are not very well-off, and they are not diligent and have no financial resources, so they pointed to these monthly rice and said, canceled the monthly rice, and drank the northwest wind?

A Xiucai shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Qu, you are the oldest of us, you have a lot of knowledge, you have a lot of knowledge, you are also very knowledgeable, and you are among the best in the government examination. We'll all listen to you! ”

There is a leader, and the blind obedience psychology of the Chinese people immediately played a great role, and all the Xiucai also said: "Yes, Senior Brother Qu, what do you say, let's listen to you!" ”

Senior Brother Naqu saw that everyone was obedient to his words, and he was also proud in his heart, and said loudly: "Now there is only one word, trouble!" ”

"Trouble? What's the trouble? ”

"Let's take to the streets, protest loudly, and expose the evil deeds of that dog official Lian Zining to the people of the world! The bigger the trouble, the better, the louder the better, the best is to make trouble in Jinan Mansion and Yanjing City! The imperial court has given preferential treatment to scholars for a hundred years, and it will definitely not sit idly by, and when the time comes, even if the imperial court does not dismiss him, it will definitely transfer him away, and return a clear sky to our six counties! ”

The people rejoiced and praised each other for goodness.

But there was also a discordant voice, a round and chubby young man wearing a satin shirt asked: "Senior Brother Qu, senior brothers, that Lian Zining is also a famous person in the north, if a song is only as it was first seen, when it was first reported to Shandong, everyone would be fascinated by it." It's his book, it's also amazing, it's all a strange book at the beginning, and now it's like this before I understand the specific situation, it's a bit arbitrary! ”

His words poked at the sore spot of everyone, in fact, the reason why all beings are so fanatical and angry today is not envy and jealousy Lian Zining is a famous person, and the reason why he is in such a high position at the age of a weak crown. At the beginning, they worshiped Lian Zining like a god and recommended him as a master in the literary world, but now they are verbally criticized, and when they are pointed out at this time, they suddenly can't get off the stage.

Senior Brother Naqu was a few years older, and he reacted the fastest, pointing at the round-faced young man and scolding angrily: "At this time and that time, we should say that we have not been able to see through the true face of this thief, so that we have been deceived by this thief. But now that we have seen through the true face of this thief, we naturally want to condemn him! Hehe, Meng Lingqu, you are a side branch of the Lijin Meng family, with a lot of wealth, brocade clothes and food, naturally you don't know the difficulties of our poor family. What do you mean by saying such cool things here? Is it great to have money in your family? ”

His words were very vicious, and he immediately pushed the round-faced young man Meng Lingqu to the opposite side of everyone.

There were still three or five people standing next to Meng Lingqu, all dressed as children of rich families, and one of them was about to refute, but was stopped by Meng Lingqu, and he smiled apologetically: "Little brother didn't mean that, I apologized to all senior brothers." ”

Let's take a deep seat.

Senior Brother Naqu saw that his attitude was extremely low, and the current major event was to deal with Lian Zining, so he no longer pursued it, but he sneered in his heart, wait for this matter, see if I don't rectify it, you will die and live!

Restarting to discuss specific matters, you and I are very lively.

They were noisy and chaotic here, but in a quiet room next to the courtyard, several old men in their fifties, with white eyebrows and beards, were sitting quietly drinking tea, and the noise outside kept coming, and they just didn't hear it, and the expressions on their faces were light and breezy.

In the Ming Dynasty, the county school is the highest educational institution in a county, with one instructor and several instructors. A teacher is an assistant who assists the teaching, while an instructor is a contracted teacher.

These old people, that is, the teachings and instructions of Yangxin County, are all here. Most of them are from a high background, and they are not young when they reach this position, and they are only engaged in teaching, but they are not involved in anything else.

A younger one finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, slammed the teacup on the table, and said, "Everyone, you still don't care, it's all a mess outside!" ”

"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Han Xiu, where has all the kung fu of self-cultivation and surname gone? An old man said three words in a row, and his eyelids didn't tease: "You want to care?" How? The county lord called us over this morning, don't you understand the meaning of those words? What are you doing against the county? ”

When the words came out, the younger ones were speechless, and the others just didn't hear them, looking at their noses and noses, like old monks.

The younger instructor's face turned red, and after all, Huo Ran got up, dropped a sentence and turned to leave: "I can't stand it anyway......"

At this time, the results had been discussed outside, and a group of talented people rushed out of the county school, but they didn't notice that those classmates with better family backgrounds had quietly disappeared into the side door.

Dozens of Xiucai came out of the county school and came to the street with the great dream of defeating the dog official Lian Zining and returning the people of the six counties to a sunny day, of course, to fight for the moon rice for themselves.

The geographical location of the county school in Yangxin County is very good, it is in the prosperous area of the county, not far from the county office, when the white-robed army was in turmoil, it also fed the horses here.

There are people coming and going on the street outside, there are small stalls selling food, there are calligraphy and painting shops, there are shops selling pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and there are many teahouses and restaurants. At this time, I saw that the door was opened, and a group of Xiucai came out of it noisily, still holding large pieces of paper in their hands, which were full of big characters, and they couldn't see it clearly from a distance.

Seeing that there was a lively scene to see, there were immediately people surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three floors, and everyone stretched their necks, wanting to see what Western scenery these talented men were doing.

Being looked at by everyone, the talents were also excited, they held up their subordinate big-character posters, and shouted to the people around them: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the six county guards are brutal and unkind, in order to harm the township, and Leling County ordered Wu Daliang to collude with each other, embarrassed for annihilation, and beat An Jiaxing, a student of Leling County, into a trick, and want to exile Hamiwei!" I want to deduct our talent for the moon, I heard that there is also a horse tax, and a showdown to the fathers and villagers, this is forcing everyone to die! ”

"This person is Zhou Xingbo's second!"

"That Lian Zining is a hungry wolf, when he sees a beautiful woman, he wants to take it for himself, if he doesn't obey, he will frame you and put you in prison and defile your wife and daughter!"

"Students are not talented, they have eaten the country for many years, they should share their worries for the court, and they should eliminate this great harm for the country! Let's go to the streets now, scold the dog official Lian Zining, we still have to go to Jinan Mansion to complain, and we have to go to Beijing to complain, folks, you also follow us to make trouble! We must oust that dog official Lian Zining from power! ”

In this era, in this era where scholars are respected, the appeal of a group of talents is extremely powerful. The same words that come out of their mouths have a completely different effect from the mouths of a coolie on the streets, and the people respect them very much for those who have knowledge, status, and can see officials without kneeling. In fact, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, all the mass surname incidents such as the civil tide were basically made up by them. Whether it was the famous copying of Dong's house in the 44th year of Wanli or the Suzhou tax resistance incident, it was actually provoked by scholars who violated their rights.

In the eyes of this group of talents, these people will definitely follow themselves and make this matter bigger!

But to their disappointment, the onlookers, after hearing their agitation, did not get excited or resentful, but showed numbness, indifference, and even disdain and disgust on their faces.

The talents were agitating hoarsely, but the people were constantly dispersing, and there were fewer and fewer people watching around.

Gradually, there are not many people left, and a few children are still joining in the fun, and they were dragged back by the adults in the family to squat on the ass is a few slaps, and the lesson said: "Don't work with these white-eyed wolves in the future, they are all raised by bitches!" We also increase the horse tax and apportionment it, are we stupid? ”

The boss who sold old tofu on the street, wearing a tattered black cotton jacket, stood aside with his hands cooped, spit on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and scolded: "A group of ungrateful dogs, the white-robed army has snatched all the food, you will all starve to death, and the moon rice is still saved by the adults from the military rations!" Serving rice and eating, scolding the mother, conscience let the dog eat! ”

I don't know from a distance which alley threw out a piece of dirt, and it was smashed on the forehead of Senior Brother Qu, who was foaming at the mouth, and it was red and swollen when it was smashed, and a childish child's voice came: "My mother said, my family's house was burned to the white robe, and it was Wu Yijun's military masters who helped us build it." We have a better conscience than you! ”

An old master in a long robe passed by, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the world is saying that people's hearts are not ancient, no wonder people say that every righteous slaughter dogs, and most of them are scholars, and I am not deceiving!" ”

In the blink of an eye, there were only these showmen on the street singing a one-man show here, looking at each other one by one, all dumbfounded.

At this time, Lian Zining's benefits of befriending the squires of the six counties are reflected, the squires of each county hold the actual ruling power and the right to speak below the county level, they have made it clear to the people in the neighborhood after they came back according to Lian Zining's instructions, about the reopening of the horse government, Lord Lian is discussing with them, but one thing can be guaranteed, there will never be a penny of tax and silver added to everyone, even if you can't trust Lord Lian, our native country, we should also be trustworthy, right?

Not to mention, Lian Zining's 500,000 mu of land, I don't know how many people in the six counties are his tenants. The Chinese people are kind and grateful, and since he became the town guard of the six counties, Lian Zining has done all kinds of good governance, distributing food, helping to repair houses, exempting rent, and maintaining law and order, these people have seen it. Coupled with the vigorous propaganda of the squires from all over the country, they all know that Lord Lian Zining Lian is a rare good official, Lord Qingtian, for the sake of the people, and it is strange that the people can believe the nonsense of the talents.

Senior Brother Qu has the potential to be a political commissar, and he is still persevering, and he does not give up encouraging the talents: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's okay to do so, without these mud legs mixing here, our form will be smoother." In the past, it was us who read the seeds in charge, and these mud legs who didn't know a single word were just waving flags and shouting, and without them, there would be no them! Let's do ours! For our moon rice! ”

"For our moon rice!" Zhong Xiucai is now difficult to ride a tiger, and if he retreats at this time, he will definitely be ridiculed by the same year, and he will lose face greatly, and he will not be able to raise his head in the future.

So, the talents re-energized, raised the big-character poster in their hands, and walked noisily along the main street of Yangxin County.

In about a morning, they walked from the south gate of Yangxin County to the north gate, and the noise was quite loud, but there were few servants. The reason for the troubles of the Xiucai has already spread, and when they heard that they were giving Lian Zining Lian eye medicine, where could they give them a good look. Along the way, not only everyone avoided, but also almost everyone shouted and beaten, and the black alleys on both sides did not know how many dirt and broken bricks were thrown, and they smashed a show to break through the blood flow, crying dad and calling mother.

The strange thing is that when such a thing happened, the county respected it was definitely going to come out to deal with it and appease it, but today, there was no movement at all, and no one came out when the gate of the county government was closed.

The strangest thing is that not only the county yamen doesn't care, but even the 100 households of the Wuyi Army stationed in the north of the city have not moved, and those soldiers have not done anything, and they don't dodge, but they don't suppress these talents, they just ignore them. These showmen also knew that these soldiers were not easy to provoke, and the two sides actually maintained a peaceful relationship.

In fact, this is not only in Yangxin County, but also in Qingyun, Haifeng, Zhanhua, Lijin, and even in Leling County, where Lian Zining is stationed, there have been incidents of evil surnames of talented people taking to the streets to make trouble.

During this period, many people followed, but soon, under the persuasion of the squires and elders, they dispersed one after another.

And the strange thing is that Lian Zining's town guard mansion did not come out of any movement.

Quietly.
