Chapter 167: Unaccustomed to Water and Soil

It is said that Li You held a flower test under the banner of fairness, and finally hung the flower list concocted indiscriminately outside the test hall, and when he looked around, he saw that his close relatives were in the upper position, and Meicai lowered his head, which caused thousands of people to scold him on the spot.

Most of the people who came to see the list were scholars, and many of the children who were in Fucheng Houkao were also close to the water and got the moon first. Many of them are involved as gunmen, and some are keen to pursue beauties.

Seeing this black and white upside-down and unreasonable ranking, except for a few people, who doesn't want to scold. In a word, you can humiliate my personality, but don't insult my intelligence!

When the posters were flying all over the sky, I thought it was just a joke and a joke, where is it worth cheating for a beautiful woman to play. When the naked facts are in front of you, the deeper you invest in it, the more you have the shame of being teased, and the spiritual ideal of becoming famous in a poem is disillusioned.

What a world! A game is also a trick! There is no fairness even in this illusion!

Under the anger of the crowd, the handyman who came out to list saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly rushed into the test yard with his head in his arms, and pointed to the end of the flower list before leaving: "There is a sentence to end in the back, please take a closer look!" ”

When he got closer, he read aloud: "When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere and there is nothing to do." ”

The couplet that is not easy to understand when I hear it suddenly reads is very subtle when I read it again, and it seems that the monk is playing a sharp edge when I read it again, which contains deep meaning.

It doesn't matter if it's difficult to understand, there are a lot of candidates here, and nothing else will be, and there are many who can guess the question, solve the problem, and solve it.

Immediately, eight masters shook their heads and began to break the question: "If it is true or false, the hospital will try to test the flowers; There are no disadvantages, and there are no disadvantages. The husband confuses the truth with the false, makes the false true, and uses the false to illustrate the truth, how can the true and the false know that it is not false and true? Guy is really doing a fake show! Trying to find out the reason, it's just a matter of whether there are any drawbacks......"

Someone said with heartfelt emotion: "It's really a small word." ”

A certain person who received Li Zheng's two taels of silver interjected at the right time: "Could it be that this is a warning to me? ”

The crowd gathered around the list, in groups of three or five, arguing endlessly.

Li Zheng, the best supporting actor in recent chapters, struggled to tear off the flower list, and said with the sadness and indignation of the Li family: "The list is full of absurd words, and a handful of bitter tears." Duyun is in a hurry to take the test, who understands the taste! ”

This really goes to the heart, and it resonates with a number of old children who have repeatedly failed the exam.

In the trial hospital, Zhao Liangli listened to the scolding outside gradually disappearing, and said with a headache and heart disease: "Li You! You actually made such a conscienceless example, telling me how to walk around the Qinglou in the future with the face! ”

"Is this also worth fearing? Master Zhao San has silver, who will have trouble with silver. ”

What else did Zhao Daguan say, Li You preemptively said: "Last time, you used me to fool Qian Huangshang, but this time it is a tie." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liangli was silent.

Li You made a long gesture to the others: "Junior brother Meng Lang, brothers forgive me." ”

He Shenzhi smiled and said, "Although I don't know what happened, I received the gift of Master Qipin first." ”

The others didn't care too much, they just complained that they couldn't explain to each other, and asked Li You to make amends for their sins, otherwise they wouldn't take Li You to play next year.

The mission here was completed, and Li You took his leave and returned to the palace.

On April 24 of the seventh year of Jinghe, the day before this year's college examination, an incident of candidates suddenly broke out in Suzhou Prefecture, without warning in advance, which caught all parties off guard.

From time to time, hundreds of children gathered in groups, bowed outside the gate of the branch office, and posted a post.

Although they are all small people with white bodies, the combined momentum of hundreds of people is not small. Looking at this posture, how dare the door official ask for a door bag, and quickly send the gift post in.

Shi Shenzheng was sitting in the hall, took the post and looked at it, but it was to the effect: The old man stooped to the prison for the hospital test, causing distractions and disputes, and the foolish people were full of doubts about what they saw and heard, and it was really difficult to be at peace; Dare to ask the boss to conform to public opinion, resign from prison, and calm public opinion.

Seeing that Lord Shi was really angry from his heart, his anger was born to his chest, and for a while, the three flowers gathered at the top of the five qi Chaoyuan, and the two veins of Ren Du were about to be opened.

In his cognition, those who can provoke the reading crowd to rise up and coax must be characters with unbearable conduct, such as Li Tuiguan. Unexpectedly, he encountered such an encounter today, how could he not be angry in his heart.

I think he has been an official for many years, conscientious, has an outstanding political reputation, cherishes feathers, and has an excellent reputation, how can he ever be forced into the palace by a scholar! Although these people are not even Xiucai.

He didn't understand how a few rumors could have such a great power to gather hundreds of people to petition? Even if there are villains in tandem, there shouldn't be so many children to believe.

There is no evidence of any evidence of these rumors, so why do they seem to be happening? In other words, why would people believe the rumors rather than believe him?

The reason why we can get together... The credit for the flower test is great.

Who would dare to make trouble if they didn't gather in these years? Originally, all the children were scattered warriors, and after a toss of touching flowers, they were quietly integrated. Although the degree of organization is very rudimentary, almost none, it is enough to gather a crowd to make trouble, and it is not a real rebellion.

Not to mention that the process of flower testing is invisibly inciting group fanaticism and anger everywhere... Li Tuiguan is not a master of psychology and behavior, he just learned from a certain competition that produced a lot of incredible fans in his previous life, and he learned it very roughly.

If a sample survey is conducted, it will be found that nearly half of these hundreds of people are children from Xujiang County, a quarter are children of rich families, and the rest are watching the crowd make trouble.

The trouble in Xujiang County is nothing more than that Lord Shi is too likely to rectify Xujiang County, and none of them are at ease; The children of the rich family came to make trouble because Master Shi didn't get in the oil and salt, so he had to change to a slightly more accommodating one, and he just had this opportunity; Others may have listened to the rumors of reducing the number of students in Suzhou Prefecture, or simply saw that there were many people and followed the coaxing, not making trouble, anyway, the tradition of the dynasty is not to blame the public.

Shi Shenzheng closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. He will not resign from the position of prison officer, otherwise after he submits, where is the prestige of guarding the Tao from the three grades? But at the same time, it is necessary to resolve the matter perfectly, and not leave future troubles.

After thinking about it, he shouted: "People from left and right! This official is going out! ”

Master Gao hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him: "Dong Weng can't! These people have no merit and fame, and Dong Weng is dignified and noble, how can they be taken lightly? Moreover, the crowd outside the yaya is turbulent and prone to chaos, so they are only allowed to lead the people into the yagong to present their affairs. ”

"In the opinion of this official, no one will dare to come in."

Mr. Gao said again: "I have sent someone to the government to order the prefect of the king to calm down the matter, and Dong Weng will just wait." ”

"It's a palliative, not a cure." Shi Shenzheng said: "They are also half of the scholars, and since they have doubts, they are officials and teachers, so they will go to solve their doubts." Besides, the official is upright, what is there to fear, see each other frankly, and his doubts will disappear. ”

Mr. Gao couldn't persuade him, and lamented in his heart, the proprietor really doesn't believe in evil, does he still want to put up Corporal Lixian's score at this time? The last time you were beaten at the docks, you haven't woken up yet?

At the moment, he put out a guard of honor, and Shi Shenzheng went out of the gate of the branch to guard the road under the protection of more than a dozen entourage guards, and saw that the street outside was full of black and oppressive crowds, including those in cloth and Ge Su, and those in silk shirts and brocade clothes.

Shi Shenzheng stood under the door and said loudly: "All living beings don't have to be frightened and kneel down, this official knows that you and others have suspicions, and they will come to say one or two in person." Recently, the rumors are noisy, not enough to believe, this official hereby swears that this prison and hospital examination, uphold the righteousness of heaven and earth, and never be biased, otherwise he will be a saint disciple in vain! All living beings can rest assured! ”

Lord Shi's expression was solemn, his words were like gold and stone, and he spoke loudly, and if measured by a 21st century lie detector, the honesty rate was as high as 99 percent! Better than real gold!

But it seemed that something was missing, and I saw that hundreds of people were silent at this time, and the master next to him suddenly felt that he was missing a raised arm and shouted, and bowed his head, which is the nursery in the proverb. Helplessly, he stood up and said to the crowd: "Don't waste your time here, go back to study the scriptures quickly, and rest early to prepare for tomorrow's entrance." ”

Someone really stood up and bowed: "I have received the words of the boss, I wonder if the boss has resigned as a prisoner?" ”

"Since this official is not at fault, why should he resign?" Shi Shenzheng replied.

As soon as Lord Shi said this, he heard a sentence from the crowd: "Regardless of public opinion, I still have a ghost in my heart... What's the use of empty vows! I can't wait for the small people to take care of it. ”

Shi Shenzheng pressed his body to speak well, and talked to Bai Ding, who was not a talented person, for a long time, but was ridiculed by Diao Min in person, and finally couldn't help it at this moment, and said sharply: "Who is there to confuse the public?" ”

The already calm crowd immediately stirred, and someone shouted: "The government officials have come to arrest people!" ”

Qi Qi looked back, and sure enough, he saw a group of officials and garrison soldiers coming here with great fanfare, Shen Tongzhi took the lead and took the lead, with a murderous expression.

It turned out that Master Gao sent someone to the government to report the news, and asked the magistrates to calm down the matter, but they were given a cold reception.

First of all, even if the prefect of Wang has a good temper, he is still a dignified four-grade Huangtang, and he was damaged by Shi Shenzheng (although it seems to have suffered from Li Tuiguan's pond fish), and he endured it on the surface and didn't say anything, but could he have no mustard in his heart? This kind of thing is unfortunate and gloating, and it is good to see the excitement, who is willing to help.

Xia Tongju, who was in charge of public security, was also reluctant to go, I don't know why.

As for Li Tuiguan, who was in charge of the criminal name, the prefect Wang did not dare to let him go, because with his style, he was afraid that he would add fuel to the fire and burn the company camp after he went, and it would be out of control.

So Shen Tongzhi actively volunteered, he thought he was a person who participated in politics in Shi, and when would he not behave at this time?

Lord Shen took a dozen or so officials to meet dozens of garrison soldiers and went to the Yamen of the Separate Guards. Because of his earnestness for meritorious service, he couldn't help but look a little anxious, which made people daunting. Of course, Shen Tongzhi is not stupid, he knows that the solution to this matter must be based on appeasement, and letting the crowd slowly disperse on its own is the best result.

Shen Tongzhi walked to the back of the crowd and wanted to say a few words. But seeing a fierce-looking official beside him, he didn't pay any attention to the rules of the rivers and lakes, rushed to the front without authorization, pulled out his waist knife and brandished it and shouted: "Dare to make noise about the people!" Master Shen is here, and he won't kneel down and tie his hands together! Otherwise, Hugh blames the knife and gun for having no eyes, and Huangquan asking for his life! ”

Where did this idiot come from?? Lord Shen was stunned and speechless, he couldn't close his mouth, and he reacted in an instant, this fucking must be Li Tuiguan... The crowd exploded... In front were one or twenty people, and behind were dozens of soldiers... Everyone with a normal IQ knew where to flee, and immediately the crowd rushed towards the honor guard of Shi Shenzheng.

Where did Lord Shi's entourage dare to stop the crowd, quickly lost the cumbersome guard of honor, and desperately escorted Shi to retreat into the yamen.

Fortunately, the crowd just wanted to rush through the honor guard and flee for their lives, and they had no interest in beating Lord Shi, so Shi Shenzheng retreated to the yamen safe and sound, but his eyes were wide open and his face was pale.

It's a pity that those canopies, official cards and other things have only been done for a month, and they have been trampled into slag by the rioters. In less than two months after taking office, the full set of honor guards was lost twice, which is simply a joke that can be used in the history of Suzhou.

Master Gao looked up to the sky and sighed, "If the people of Suzhou Mansion are like this, the proprietor's surname is not suitable for being an official in Suzhou Mansion, I really regret it!" ”

That's the big truth. In the places where Shi Shenzheng served in the past, most of the folk customs were simple and orderly, and there was no such a highly prosperous industrial and commercial world as Suzhou Prefecture, and the small people had colorful and diverse flower worlds, so he was a little uncomfortable.
