Zhu Daolin comforted the small shadow of smoke and red eyes that threw himself into his arms, waved his hand, and announced loudly: "Tomorrow, everyone will move to the main courtyard of Hushan, and rest early!" ”

The people cheered, and when they finished covering their mouths and eyebrows, they laughed and dispersed.

The careful Xiaoying asked the personal girl to hurry to the East Cross Courtyard and called Sister Xu over, and then together with Ruyan, she hugged her man into the inner room.

After hugging and kissing, the dizzy little shadow instructed the maid outside the door to bring the bath water, and the crimson face was like smoke to break free from Zhu Daolin's entanglement, go to the bedroom, and take out a change of clothes for Zhu Daolin.

A few maids and mothers-in-law quickly filled the large wooden barrel in the bathroom with hot water, and lowered their heads with the wooden barrel.

Ruyan and Xiaoying immediately closed the door, untied their husband's clothes, and shyly pushed her husband, who was extremely energetic up and down, into the big wooden barrel in the bathroom, picked up the cloth towel, picked up the soap corner boiling soup, and cleaned her husband's long hair together.

Before the hair was washed, Xu Fu, who had tears in his eyes, led Liu Yatou and Mei Yatou to the bathroom.

Zhu Daolin snatched the cloth towel in Xiaoying's hand and wiped his face, and said with a smile to the pitiful Xu Fu and the two little beauties: "You are all wronged, you will all move to the main courtyard of Hushan tomorrow, which is our home." ”

"Xu Fu, don't worry, the matter has been dealt with, no one dares to make trouble anymore, tomorrow by the way, the music school will also be moved to the main courtyard of Hushan."

"Zizhuyuan will soon become a large workshop with 3,000 apprentice craftsmen, and even if you want to stay, you won't be able to attend classes all day long."

Xu Fu was finally relieved, picked up his sleeves and stepped forward to rub Zhu Daolin's back, Liu Yatou and Mei Yatou immediately went out to make tea, and Zhu Daolin was in a particularly comfortable mood. I thought that Lao Tzu finally enjoyed a comfortable and comfortable life like an emperor.

Almost at the same moment, in the private room on the second floor of the Furong Pavilion on the north bank of the Qinhuai River, the seven leading brothers who besieged Zizhu Garden that day gathered together, nervously predicting the possible means of retaliation that the wild Taoist priest might launch after he returned.

After listening to the narration of Zhou Zhong, the young teacher of Guozijian, everyone began to be afraid.

As soon as Zhu Daolin came back, he summoned Zhang Deyi, Yan Yihe, and others, who were in a hurry to be domineering and notorious, and openly drove more than ten luxury four-wheeled carriages. Bypass the street in front of the gate of Guozijian, show off their might, and you don't have to think much to know what they are going to do next.

Before besieging Zizhuyuan to denounce Zhu Daolin's atrocities, Zhang Pu, Wu Changshi, and Hou Fangyu already knew that Zhu Daolin had a deep background.

However, no one expected that Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, Zhang Gongwei, the Marquis of Longping, and Wu Jingxian, the eunuch in charge of the Tongyuan Bureau, defended Zhu Daolin in this way, not only sent more than 300 officers and soldiers from the soldiers and horses of the two cities, but also 50 horses from Nanjing Yulinwei also rushed to Zizhuyuan, and the Marquis of Longping, who was present at the scene, even did not hesitate to offend Ying Tianfu and Jiangning County Order. He ordered all the government officials of the prefecture and county to be dispatched to suppress the literati and students.

More than a dozen ruffians who were secretly bought by the Zhou family did not have time to escape, but they were knocked to the ground by the fierce officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division under the command of Zhao Zhilong, Bo Zhao of Xincheng, and directly arrested the Soldiers and Horses Division in Zhongcheng and beat them severely, and recorded a confession.

What Zhang Pu, Hou Fangyu and others didn't expect was that after the literati students dispersed. Wei Guogong, Xin Chengbo, and Marquis Longping immediately sent two generals from the Overseer's Mansion, five thousand households from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and three Wei commanders from the Jiangnan Land Division to directly enter the Guozijian to negotiate. Order the Superintendent to take care of his students.

Before leaving, those rude soldiers actually threatened, saying that if they did it again, they would not be merciful!

Many things are analyzed together, and Zhang Pu and others become more and more frightened.

The nobles of Jinling, who have always been reluctant to make enemies with civil ministers and celebrities, showed their strength and anger in this very abnormal move. It is by no means something that the literati of the Fushe who are famous all over the world by reciting poems and criticizing current politics can afford it, and even the Donglin Party, which occupies many important positions in the government and the opposition, may not dare to act rashly.

Zhang Cai, one of the leaders of the Restoration Society, was the earliest, experienced and sophisticated. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh, his vacation was full, and he would rush to Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province tomorrow to take office, so he wanted to do his part before leaving:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are still too closed, thinking that Jiangnan is still the original Jiangnan, and we don't take the Manchu army's frequent entry into the customs and the war-torn mob like ants in our eyes, and always think that there is no need to care about thousands of miles away, don't you know that because of this, the supreme majesty of the imperial court has been declining."

"Especially after the collapse of Wei Eunuch and his party, the old feuds between the various factions of my Ming officialdom are highlighted, and the infighting between the princes of the imperial court is flourishing, where can I still have the energy to take care of Jiangnan thousands of miles away?"

"But now, it is no longer a grievance between my Fushe scholar and that wild Taoist priest, so I suggest that this matter be reported to the major families of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Songjiang as soon as possible, they are even more unwilling to see the long-fallen nobles take advantage of this troubled era to make a comeback, and only they can control the overall situation, mobilize the forces of the government and the opposition, curb the arrogance of the Jinling nobles, and completely suppress the opponents who are ready to move!"

Everyone immediately felt a sense of initiation.

Zhang Pu, who was the first to understand, slowly stood up and respectfully saluted Zhang Caishen: "Received the good words of the first brother Jin Yu, and was far-sighted, the younger brother has been taught!" ”

Hou Fangyu, Wu Changshi and others stood up one after another to salute Zhang Cai, and then, like Zhang Pu, instantly unloaded their heavy burdens, raised their wine glasses, and toasted their admired and respected big brother Zhang Cai.

Zhang Cai is leaving tomorrow, and then Zhang Pu is also going to Beijing, the friendship is deep, and the toast is endless, so Zhang Cai does not shirk, picks up the wine glass and drains it, and then puts down the wine glass and sings generously.

Zhang Pu, Wu Changshi and others hit the bowl with a chopstick, and the sound was harmonious.

Hou Fangyu, who was in high spirits, turned around and went out to shout old. Bustards, soon seven or eight flowery branches of the Yan thin ring fat chicks. Prostitute, for a time the warbler cried, the marigold was flying, and the laughter was full of joy, who knew that under the shadow of the trees by the river not far from them, two sturdy men dressed as coolies were squatting under the stone fence and waiting quietly.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the drunken Zhang Cai had to rest as soon as possible because he had to travel far the next day.

Zhang Pu will also hurry up tomorrow to go to the Qin family in Suzhou, and then rush to the capital directly through the Grand Canal.

Everyone left one after another, and Hou Fangyu, who had not yet settled in Jinling, chose to stay, hugged left and right, and directly slept in the Furong Pavilion, and the rickety Wu Changshi persuaded Hou Fangyu not to move, so he had to go downstairs with the support of the scholar and climb up to the green with great difficulty. Lou Turtle. The humble carriage called by the public help, supported by the scholar, returned to the Zhou family garden in the north of the city.

The two-wheeled carriage, which only had a roof and a half-carriage, drove through the old courtyard street in the cold night wind, and when it came to the bend between the street entrance and the Qingping Bridge, two black shadows holding wooden sticks suddenly rushed out of the dark corner of the house, "crackling" five or six sticks in a row, and smashed on Wu Chang Shiping's legs stretched out in front of the car board.

Wu Chang Fashion had time to scream, his two legs had been broken, and he immediately fainted in pain.

Before the coachman and the boy could recover from the horror of the sudden attack, the two masked men in black had already dropped their wooden sticks and fled into the alley of the black hole to the south, until they could see nothing before the shouts of the coachman and the cry of the scholar rang out heartbreakingly.
