Wu Ling hurriedly asked Mu Zhenzhen in a low voice: "Sister Zhenzhen, do you have the little dragon stick with you?" ”

Mu Zhen said sincerely: "To deal with this Dong Zuchang, you don't need a small dragon stick." But she still nodded her head to reassure Xiao Wu, this time her father didn't follow, she went out with the young master to be more careful, and the small dragon stick was tied to the outside of her right leg.

The little official of the Weaving Department saw that Dong Zu was often not good, as if he was going to beat someone, he stepped forward and glared at Dong Zu Changdao, and said: "This Zhang Gongzi is a distinguished guest of Gonggong Zhong of the Weaving Department, what are you, so rude!" ”

Dong Zuchang wanted to say "Father Dong Xuanzai" again, but he couldn't help it, disdained to reason with a servant, and sneered: "Zhang Yuan, what a great ability, find a eunuch as a backer——"

Zhang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and arched his hand to Yishan on the side and said, "Brother Yishan, hello." "Dong Zu is often a fool and doesn't need to be ignored, but this Yi Shan is the person he regards as a friend, he is very strange how Yi Shan can be with Dong Zu Chang?

Yishan, who was dressed in a green Confucian shirt, came out of the gate of Jingci Temple and saw Zhang Yuan, he was embarrassed, and when he saw Zhang Yuan saluting him, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Brother Jiezi, fortunately, fortunately." ”

The angry Dong Zuchang was a little strange, turned his head to look at Yishan behind him, and asked, "How can this kid Zhang Yuan recognize you?" ”

Yishan said in a low voice: "I met at a literary meeting." ”

Dong Zu often said angrily: "You learned it again by selling around, right?" ”

Wing Shan didn't answer, but his demeanor was obviously quite humble.

Dong Zuchang raised his eyebrows, sneered at the corner of his mouth, and asked Zhang Yuandao: "What do you think he has learned?" He pointed to Yishan.

Zhang Yuan sighed in his heart, he guessed Yishan's identity, and also understood why Yishan didn't participate in the imperial examination, and replied: "Brother Yishan is well-read and talented. ”

Dong Zuchang was secretly proud and asked, "How is it better than you?" ”

Yi Shan hurriedly said: "How can Zhang Gongzi's talent be compared to me-"

"Shut up, I didn't ask you." Dong Zu often shouted, without losing face at all.

Zhang Yuan looked at Yishan, whose face was pale, he could have ignored Dong Zuchang's question, but for the sake of Yishan, he still had to answer, and said calmly: "Brother Yishan's talent is above me." This is true, Yishan's eight-strand writing may be slightly inferior to him, but the classics and calligraphy are exquisite.

Dong Zuchang laughed out loud and asked, "Zhang Yuan, do you know who he is?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "No matter who he is, what I respect is his talent, Dong Zuchang, Brother Yishan is ten thousand times stronger than you, what other skills do you have besides putting your father's name on your lips?" ”

Dong Zuchang was furious and said loudly: "He is my Dong family's house slave, Zhang Yuan, you are only worthy of being my Dong family's house slave brother and brother." Said to Yishan: "Zongxian, call this kid Brother Jie Zi again-"

Yishan's surname is Zong's name Xianzi Yishan, his parents are Dong's family slaves, so he was destined to be Dong's slave as soon as he was born, Zong Yishan has been enlightened since childhood, Dong Qichang let him wait in the study, Zong Yishan has been exposed to his ears and eyes, and he has learned a good word, read a belly of poetry, Dong Zuchang's reputation is obtained by Zong Yishan's generation, Zong Yishan imitates Dong Qichang's handwriting, almost can be true, although Dong Qichang lives in Songjiang, but the exchange is broad, dozens of letters are exchanged every time, those letters that are not very important are written by Zong Yishan, there are those who ask for the inscription of the poem, Dong Qichang looked at the identity and status of the other party, and those whose status was not noble were also sent by Zong Yishan - Dong Zuchang urged: "Zong Xian, call Brother Jie Zi again!" ”

Zong Yishan lowered his head, his heart was extremely sad and indignant, he was a slave, and he would insult others when he interacted with others, Dong Zuchang just wanted to use him to humiliate Zhang Yuan - Zhang Yuan said: "Brother Yishan, what I respect is your talent and learning, if you go to Shanyin again, I will still sweep the couch to greet you." "There will be a period later." To the small officials of the Weaving Bureau, Mu Zhenzhen and Wuling: "Let's go." ”

Dong Zu saw that Zhang Yuan wanted to leave if he had nothing to do, how could he be willing to take a break, and said loudly: "Wait, Zhang Yuan, do you know who he is?" ”

In addition to Zong Yishan, who followed Dong Zuchang out of Jingci Temple, there was also a man in his thirties who was dressed as an idle man, wearing a Xuanluo hat, wearing yarn pleats, silk shoes and socks, thick bones, a slightly dark complexion, a green mole on his left chin, and a cruel look. ”

Dong Zu didn't pay attention to Zhang Yuan, and left by himself, saying: "What are you afraid of, I just want him to know-" said loudly: "Zhang Yuan, he is Chen Ming, you must have heard of it, that's right, he was originally a member of the Qingpu Lu family, and now he has defected to my Songjiang Dong family, I didn't know that the Qingpu Lu family was your in-law, I only learned about it two months ago, Zhang Yuan, you listen to me, I have sent someone to inform Lu Zhaoshen, as long as he orders his son Lu Tao to divorce his wife, I will not pursue the matter of two hundred acres of mulberry fields." ”

Being kicked by Zhang Yuan is a great shame for Dong Zuchang, and it is difficult to be angry if he doesn't retaliate, so Dong Zuchang wants to hit Zhang Yuan as much as possible, and he did send someone to tell Lu Zhaoshen about it last month, but Lu Zhaoshen has not yet replied - Zhang Yuan was furious and whispered to Mu Zhenzhen: "That Chen Ming, knock me down, I will pull him to see the official, don't let him run away." ”

Mu Zhenzhen nodded, pressed the outside of his thigh with his right hand, and touched the small dragon stick through the cloth skirt - Zhang Yuan turned around and walked slowly towards Dong Zuchang, Mu Zhenzhen followed him, Zhang Yuan said: "Dong Gongzi, it is better to settle the dispute, when we say that we are just a little misunderstanding, how to implicate my sister's family, this is not good-"

Dong Zu saw Zhang Yuan's softness, great joy, and sneered: "Little misunderstanding? You kicked me, and that kick was so bad. ”

Zhang Yuan asked: "Then how can Dong Gongzi be willing to resolve this matter?" ”

Dong Zu often said: "If you let me slap me twice, kick me back, and then give me this Hu maid to make amends, I won't pursue it, and the previous things will be counted-"

Dong Zu Changzheng said proudly, and suddenly heard Zhang Yuan shout: "Fight!" ”

Zhang Yuanping said that he practiced Tai Chi diligently, and compared with the average scholar who was not diligent in his four bodies, he was much more agile, Dong Zuchang seemed to be tall, but he was drunk and empty, and he was kicked by Zhang Yuan unexpectedly last time, this time Zhang Yuan suddenly got up, he still didn't avoid it, almost in the original position of the waist, he was kicked again, screamed in pain, and staggered back a few steps - that Chen Ming was brave with some arm strength, jumped over, and hit Zhang Yuan with his fist, but he heard the strong wind, and a short stick was slammed on his wrist bone, almost cracked, Chen Ming endured the pain, The other hand to grab the short stick, the short stick snake like a snake bounced, knocked on his head, before he came back to his senses, the right leg was hit by another stick, the pain was piercing, the right leg could not be supported, bent the knee and knelt down, the neck and neck immediately suffered another heavy kick, suddenly fell to the ground, both hands supported to get up, the back of the neck was stepped on, as if the snake's seven inches were nailed to the ground, unable to make it stronger, struggling to reach out to grab the snow-white ankle on the black cloth shoe, "whoosh", the wrist bone was hit by another stick, the muscles and bones were numb in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy:" Don't fight, don't fight—"

Over there, Zhang Yuan saw Dong Zuchang staggering back, and rushed up with a big slap, which made Dong Zuchang's nosebleed spurt out, and he fell to the ground, afraid and angry: "You dare to hit me, my father Dong Xuanzai, I will never spare you-"

The monk of Jingci Temple stepped forward at this time and stopped: "The pure place of Buddhism must not be fierce and ruthless. This Dong Zu often borrowed to live in Jingci Temple, presumably a lot of incense money, this monk protected Dong Zuchang, did not let Zhang Yuan come forward to fight again, and a few monks rushed out of the temple, helped Dong Zuchang up, and gave him a nosebleed - Zhang Yuan hit his hand pain, rubbed his right hand with his left hand, and said: "Dong Zuchang, last time I kicked you, your father Dong Xuanzai had to write a letter to apologize to my uncle, but you didn't take the lesson, so I beat you again, go back and cry to your father, this Chen Ming is a traitor, I took it away." ”

Wuling was clever, he had run to the temple to find a rope to come out, and tied up the traitorous slave Chen Ming with the small officials of the Weaving Department, Mu Zhenzhen held on to the small dragon stick, and beware - Chen Ming shouted: "The second son save me, the second son save me." ”

Dong Zu wiped a handful of nosebleeds with his sleeve, and shouted angrily: "There is no royal law here, rob people in broad daylight!" ”

Zhang Yuan said to the monks of Jingci Temple: "This Chen Ming stole my brother-in-law's silver and Tian Qi and fled to the Dong family. He said to the little official of the Weaving Department: "I bother you to go to the Hangzhou Mansion to report to the official and take this traitor slave to interrogation." ”

The little official said yes and hurried away.

The elder of Jingci Temple came out, this elder has an old relationship with Dong Qichang, listened to the words, stepped forward and said to Zhang Yuanheshi: "Amitabha, the donor is murderous in front of the mountain gate of this temple, aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan heard this, he knew that this monk was a mediocre monk who had no Taoism, and asked, "Why does the Buddha blame me?" ”

The elder was dumbfounded, "Isn't it a sin for the donor to commit murder and beat people?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Everything has cause and effect, and the elders only look at the effect, and don't ask the cause, how can it be done by great virtue?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuan's argument was quite sharp, the elder looked at him twice, and asked, "Dare to ask the donor's surname?" "Those who dare to beat Dong Xuanzai's son should not be ordinary people.

Zhang Yuan said: "Under the surname Zhang, the people of Shanyin - the elder is a person of Qing cultivation, don't take care of these mundane things, wait for the arrival of his own official mission, right and wrong have his own judgment, Dong Xuanzai's son, are you still afraid of seeing officials?" ”

Two more Dong servants arrived, and when they saw Chen Ming being tied up and knocked to the ground, they were terrified and didn't dare to step forward.

After waiting for about half an hour, a few messengers from the Weaving Department came, dragging Chen Ming to the Hangzhou Mansion, Dong Zuchang is a famous student, and the messenger did not dare to arrest - Zhang Yuan said: "Dong Zuchang, how about going with me to see Lord Yin, the prefect of Hangzhou?" As long as you go to court, you only need to report 'my father Dong Xuanzai', and Lord Yin will redress your grievances. ”

Last time in Longshan, Dong Zu often complained to Zhang Qilian of kicking him according to the prosecutor, thinking that Zhang Qilian was his father Dong Xuanzai's old friend to protect him, but Zhang Qilian refused to protect him, this time Chen Ming was arrested by Zhang Yuan, this thing doesn't seem to be very good - at this time, I heard someone shouting: "Mr. Huang Yuyong is here, Mr. Huang Yuyong is here." ”
