Zhu Daolin entered the gate of the courtyard, ordered the gatekeeper to go down to rest, and went straight to the middle courtyard where he lived, and safely transferred more than 2,000 pieces of porcelain and a large number of goods into the left and right wings, and then returned to the main house where he lived, and transferred the most important gems, jewelry, crystal products, 100 62-type compasses, and 5 15-magnification sentry telescopes one after another.

Zhu Daolin carefully inspected it, put them in the bottom layer of the huge bookcase that occupied one wall, and then took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the couch to meditate.

The rooster crows, everything wakes up, the continuous spring rain stops silently, and the entire Hushan Manor and the wide river to the west are shrouded in a vast mist.

Zhu Daolin was still immersed in the mysterious world of speechlessness and did not want to wake up, he heard the sound of rain falling from the sky, the sound of servants talking in the backyard, complaining and the slight collision of pots and pans could be clearly heard, he even heard the sound of waves on the river bank two miles to the west, feeling that everything was full of life, and gradually realized the mysterious qi and endless power contained in the surging Yangtze River.

Familiar footsteps come from afar.

Zhu Daolin unhurriedly put on his boots and walked out of the inner room, came to the door of the main hall, and looked at the junior brothers Yulong, Yuhu and Zhao Xunting, who hurriedly walked into the courtyard, with a smile, seeing the different expressions on the faces of the three people, thinking that there must be no chaos at this time, there are still extremely important transactions and negotiations waiting for him in the next few days.

The three of them came to the door to salute Zhu Daolin, and followed Zhu Daolin into the main hall quite uneasily.

Zhu Daolin motioned for everyone to sit down, and found that the two junior disciples with ashamed faces were standing, and immediately looked at Zhao Xunting, who was old and real: "Brother Mengshan." What happened? ”

Zhao Xunting sighed: "On the morning of the second day of the Lantern Festival, Wu Changshi, the disciple of the old champion of Suzhou Zhou, Zhang Pu, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Sui, a famous man in the military department, and Zhang Cai, a famous scholar of the Fushe Society, instigated more than 200 students of Guozijian and more than 100 local lifters to suddenly attack, blocked the gate of Zizhuyuan, and made a group of clamor with hand-held papers, after being stopped by dozens of guards led by Lao Shi. They attacked them in groups, scolded loudly, picked up stones and mud and attacked them brazenly. ”

Under the leadership of Lao Shi, hundreds of craftsmen and female workshop workers picked up wooden sticks and bars to block the gate, and finally curbed the repeated onslaught of hundreds of literati.

However, I didn't expect Wu Changshi, Zhang Pu and others to command many literati and celebrities to condemn hundreds of texts prepared in advance. Pasted on the walls on both sides of the gate, read it aloud to the onlookers, and brought tables and door panels, set up a high platform in front of the gate to take turns to fight, shouting insults to the virtuous brothers, and slandering them out of nothing, for an hour without stopping, attracting thousands of people to watch. Speeches ...... Alas! I can't even say all kinds of vicious and insidious slander! ”

Zhu Daolin was furious. slapped the sour branch wood square table in his hand with one palm, and stood up angrily and asked Yulong and Yuhu loudly: "What were you two doing at that time?" Why don't you call me out? ”

Yuhu was so frightened by the angry senior brother that he immediately knelt down, and the five big and three thick jade dragons were better than him, and he took a step forward and knelt down to report: "Senior brother is angry!" At that time, Yuhu and I were in the martial arts hall next door, busy arranging the accommodation for fifty disciples, when we received a message from Chief Manager Shi. Immediately rushed to Zizhuyuan with more than ten brothers and dozens of guards, but when they arrived, they were all officers and soldiers of the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division and the Nancheng Terracotta Division, and the onlookers were dispersed under the drive of the officers and soldiers, and the literati who did evil had disappeared. ”

When Senior Brother Yuhu saw the little marquis who was scolding incessantly, he hurriedly went up to inquire, only to know that not only the Soldiers and Horses Division had been dispatched. Hundreds of officials from Ying Tianfu and Jiangning County also came, and even the fifty-man team under the command of the town guard eunuch also came, and those scholars all slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good, but fortunately, we didn't die, but a few sisters-in-law and Xu were scared, and the children in the music school were also scared and cried. ”

Zhu Daolin gritted his teeth, stepped forward to help Yulong, patted him on the shoulder, and then helped the aggrieved and guilty junior brother Yuhu up, bent down and patted the hem of his Taoist robe, straightened up and said kindly:

"I'm sorry junior brother, I shouldn't blame you, this is all because of me, the opponent suddenly attacked, it is obviously a conspiracy that has been planned for a long time, no one is to blame, no one is to blame."

Yuhu unwillingly wiped away his tears: "Senior brother, I was careless, when you weren't there, I should have protected my sisters-in-law in Zizhuyuan, but I didn't expect me to ......"

"It's not your responsibility!"

Zhu Daolin, who quickly calmed down, interrupted Yuhu's words, took him to a chair and sat down, and then returned to his seat and said loudly: "I was too careless, to put it bluntly, I was inexperienced, I thought that the opponent would not succeed, and most of the next ones were playing with me, ignoring who the opponents were." ”

"Now it seems that this is not only the personal anger of the old thing surnamed Zhou, but the forces hidden behind these literati scholars are the biggest behind the scenes!"

"I dare to assert that those Fushe literati and Donglin Party members who are tearing their faces and charging forward are just a group of thugs who boast and think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and the real black hand is the powerful forces in the southeast that have supported generation after generation of Donglin Party people to fight against dissidents, frame Zhongliang, control the government, and interfere with national policies for a hundred years, including those salt merchants in the Jianghuai region who have long been huddled together!"

"You can see so far away, you can rest assured as a teacher!"

Before the words fell, Daoist Xuanqing, Daoist Xuanyue, Daoist Xuanji and Daoist Xuanfang entered the main hall one after another, and Zhu Daolin hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully, knelt on the ground sincerely, and reviewed his mistakes to the masters and uncles.

After listening to Zhu Daolin's words of great self-reproach, Daoist Xuanqing was pleased to help his beloved disciple: "It's good to understand, you can find out your own shortcomings, you can calm down and think carefully, and then see the deep crisis hidden in the shadows, so that the teacher and your uncle and uncle can rest assured!" Get up, sit down and think long-term. ”

Xuanfang Dao Elder came up and comforted: "Dao Lin doesn't need to blame himself too much, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I am a pure faction, how many believers are tens of millions?" Since the founding of this dynasty, we have not seen anyone dare to be an enemy of our Shangqing faction, and now that someone is openly bullying the door, we naturally will not let him feel good. ”

"Don't worry, the entire Shangqing Sect is your strong backing!"

Master Bo Yuan Yue and Second Master Bo Xuanji also came up to comfort Zhu Daolin, telling him not to be impatient, from now on, he must calm down, and only after planning can he win the battle.

Zhu Daolin was very moved, and once again bowed deeply to the seniors: "The disciple will not be rash, he will definitely follow the teachings of the master, the two uncles and the uncle, and calm down to plan before acting!" ”

"The disciple hesitated before, and he couldn't make up his mind, but now he finally understands that the grudge between each other has long been doomed, and no one can escape it, since the opponent has torn his face unscrupulously, it is my turn to fight back!"
