Because Huang Guoding had just been to Dong's mansion, if Dong Qichang really wanted to burn the house, then Huang Guoding must be an accomplice, Zhang Yuan learned from the Huating students that Wu Xuanping, the magistrate of the Punishment Department, said that he was not on good terms with Huang Guoding and Dong Qichang, and immediately went to the Punishment Hall with a group of people to ask to see Wu Xuanshui - it was already after the three drums, Wu Xuanshui had already bathed and gone to bed, and was destroyed by all the beings, and he was very angry, but after listening to Zhang Yuan and other students' complaints, his attitude immediately changed greatly, and he said in his heart: "Huang Guoding just sent a messenger to recruit and regulate the forty soap subordinates in the Torture Hall, but it turned out to be for this matter. I hated it in my heart: "Dong Qichang and Huang Guoding are really hateful, if they want to carry out this poisonous plan, they don't consult with me in advance, Huang Guoding thinks that he must use this matter to kill two birds with one stone, not only punish Zhang Yuan and others, but also use the fault of Dong's house burning to squeeze me out of office." ”

Wu Xuanshui immediately ordered someone to invite Liu Tongzhi to meet, and said that there was an urgent matter to discuss, Liu Tongzhi and Huang Guoding were also inseparable, and the relationship between the second official and the chief had always been small, Liu Tongzhi quickly rushed to Wu Xuanshui to say the appeal of Zhusheng, Liu Tongzhi muttered: "How to deal with Lord Wu?" ”

Wu Xuanshui sneered: "Go to the Dong Mansion to watch the Dong family set fire to the house. ”

Zhang Yuan and the others were secretly surprised, they came here to complain to Wu Tuiguan, the purpose was to ask Wu Tuiguan to be a witness for them, in fact, they themselves were not too sure whether the Dong family would burn the house, but Wu Tuiguan decided that the burning of the house would happen, and they actually went to watch, could it be that Wu Tuiguan got another news?

More than 30 students, including Wu Tuiguan, Liu Tongzhi, and Zhang Yuan, as well as 40 people from the Soap Li of the Punishment Hall, rushed to the vicinity of Dong Qichang's mansion under the faint moonlight, first blocked the streets, and waited for Dong's mansion to catch fire...... Dong Qichang ordered the powerful house slaves to guard the front and back doors, only allowed to enter and not to go out, thinking that this would not leak the news, so he didn't know that there were already people staring around the younger brother, Dong Qichang asked people to arrest Zong Yishan's family, and the house slave reported that Zong Yishan and his parents had fled, Dong Qichang hated it and said: "This cheap slave, see where he can run!" Frowning and thinking for a moment, let people tie up a sick old servant and throw it in the rice barn - at this time everything was silent, Dong Qichang sat on his shoulder, two healthy servants carried, Dong Qichang looked up at the sky, the moon had set in the west, it was past the third watch, it was time, so he made a gesture to the slave next to him, the slave agreed, walked quickly to the side of the rice barn, lit two broken reed mats poured with oil, the rice warehouse was on fire in an instant, and soon burned to the kitchen - Dong Qichang stared at the fire for a moment, and said: "Let's go." At the same time, the screams were loud, and those who knew the slaves were shouting that it was Zhang Yuan, a member of Shanyin, who led a group of Diao people to set fire to and rob, and there were many unaware family members and slaves in Dong's mansion, and they really thought that Diao Min came to set fire to and rob, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and they jumped around, and they were called to go to the east courtyard.

The gate of the east courtyard opened, and the servants of the Dong family hurriedly ran out, many servants were moving things out one by one, and when they looked outside the gate, they saw that under the faint moonlight, there were a large number of people standing under the black pressure, which frightened the people of the Dong family, and they didn't dare to lift the boxes, so they hurriedly ran back, shouting: "Master, there is really a robbery." ”

Dong Qichang shouted: "What is it called?" He didn't believe that the people who took advantage of the fire to rob would come so quickly, so he let the two healthy servants carry him out to take a look, at this time, the soap li in the torture hall outside the door had already lit the lantern, and the three big characters of "torture hall" reflected in the light were particularly eye-catching, Dong Qichang only thought it was Huang Guoding's person, and said in his heart: "Huang Guoding is too anxious, he rushed over so early, he should go and arrest Zhang Yuan and the others immediately." ”

Wu Tuiguan and Liu Tongzhi walked out from behind a row of lanterns, looked at Dong Qichang silently, and Wu Tuiguan asked: "Dong Hanlin, do you want to save the fire in your mansion or not?" ”

Dozens of students said in unison: "Dong Hanlin, is this fire saved or not?" The tone was extremely sarcastic.

But one person shouted: "Dong Gong's clever plan shook Songjiang, and a fire burned it out." ”

Dong Qichang's throat "ho-ho", his hands and feet trembled, his face turned purple, and suddenly his body was crooked, and he planted his shoulders.

…… Dong Qichang's poisonous plan to burn the house and frame the living beings has become a big laughing stock, the sick old slave who was tied up by Dong Qichang and thrown in the rice warehouse was also rescued, and it was not Wu Tuiguan's subordinates who saved people, but Dong's own people, this servant did not know that Dong Lao Ye was going to burn the house, thinking that there was really a thief to set fire, and rushed to the west courtyard with a stick to fight with the thief to protect the house, and heard someone in the rice warehouse calling for help, so he slammed open the warehouse door and saved the old servant out, of course, if it wasn't for Wu Tuiguan in front of the house, This loyal servant saved the old servant, and when he came out, he would be pushed back into the fire by Dong Qichang.

The fire in the west courtyard of the Dong Mansion was saved, thanks to the heavy rain yesterday, which made the fire spread unfast, otherwise the Dong Mansion would be wiped out, and it would have affected other people's homes.

Huang Guoding saw that Dong's Mansion was on fire, so he sent people to Wuyang Inn to arrest Zhang Yuan and others, but he pounced, and then heard that Wu Tuiguan and Liu Tongzhi went to Dong's Mansion with a group of people.

The people of Huating did not burn Dong Eun nor copied Dong Eun, but Dong Eun was completely ruined, Dong Qichang's reputation has been stinky, Dong Qichang Ping said that as long as the people who ask him for calligraphy and painting are rich, he will not refuse, of course, a large part of them are written by protégés and servants, and now, in Songjiang, where there are Dong Qichang's calligraphy and paintings at home, either collect them or burn them, and then dare not hang them in a grand manner, they will be laughed at, and there is a shop plaque on the street that is written by Dong Qichang, so quickly take it off by himself, otherwise someone will come to smash the plaque, and the main hall of the temple will sit in the east of the cityThe four words "Daxiong Treasure Palace" are from Dong Qichang's own handwriting, this is said early in the morning there is a group of idlers to take stones to the plaque smashed, panicked monks hurriedly take down the plaque by themselves, the gang of idlers hammered the plaque to a pulp, said that it was "smashed to kill Dong Qichang", in fact, this group of idlers and the Dong family have no enmity, but now Dong is the trend, of course the idlers refuse to lag behind-...... Chen Jiru rode a big-horned deer to Huating early in the morning of May 20 to visit his old friend Dong Qichang, and the female disciple Wang Wei accompanied him...... Chen Jiru was shocked, and first said that Zhang Yuan was still playing chess with him here and reading the tablet, and his brother made such a big deal in the second day!

As for the burning of Dong's house at night, Chen Jiru didn't know it, he heard about it when he entered Huating County, and the whole city was talking about Dong Qichang, Chen Jiru said that he was quite willing to do good, had an excellent reputation, and was very respected, but now he entered the city, and obviously felt that everyone had a different vision, and the old Chengren who knew him stepped forward to hold the title of the bighorn deer and said: "Meigong, take a step to speak." ”

Chen Jiru got off the bighorn deer and talked to the old man under the tree on the side of the street, and the man asked, "Mei Gong is going to visit Dong Qichang?" ”

Calling people by their names is very disrespectful, Chen Jiru frowned slightly, and replied: "Exactly." ”

The man said: "Don't you know all the evil deeds of Dong's father and son, Meigong is high-spirited, how can he be with Dong Eun, don't go, Meigong will look at this first." Presented a hand-copied copy of the "Theory of Difficult Voices in Calligraphy and Painting" to Chen Jiru.

Chen Jiru looked at the "calligraphy and painting is difficult to be the voice of the heart", his eyebrows moved, and asked: "Who wrote this article?" ”

The man said: "It is rumored to be from the hand of Zhang Jiezi, the little Sanyuan of Shanyin, I don't know the truth." ”

Wang Wei, a girl in the song who disdains decoration and disdains decoration, heard that this article was written by Zhang Yuan, so she also came to see it and looked very surprised.

Chen Jiru's old man also told the incident of yesterday and the fact that Dong Qichang burned his house in the middle of the night to frame all living beings, and when he spoke, several people surrounded him and scolded Dong Qichang one after another.

Chen Jiru said lightly: "After more than 40 years of friendship, how can I not go to visit." Motioning for everyone to get out of the way, he walked slowly through the crowd, with the servants behind him leading the bighorn deer, and Wang Wei and a few people following behind.

When he came to the door of Dong's mansion, he saw that the door was closed, and no one answered after knocking for a long time, Chen Jiru lingered in front of the door and refused to leave, and chanted in his mouth: "The cold sound of Xiaojiao scatters the willow embankment, and the snow color of the thousand forests is low." Pedestrians don't reach Handan Road, and a kind of smoke and frost is also self-obsessed. ”

Wang Wei knew that this was Dong Qichang's inscription poem, she could understand the sadness of Mei Gong, Mei Gong and Dong Qichang have been friends with words, calligraphy and painting for more than 40 years, but now I have heard so many evil deeds of Dong Qichang, is this the malicious slander of Zhang Yuan and others, or is Dong Qichang really such a person? Or as Zhang Yuan said in "Calligraphy and Painting is Difficult to Speak to the Heart", it is one Dong Qichang who is swimming in Hanmo's calligraphy and painting, and another Dong Qichang who is greedy for money and lustful and scheming to destroy evil, is this really the case?

After a long time, Chen Jiru stepped on the bighorn deer and said, "Go back." Celu walked a few steps, turned around and asked Wang Wei: "Wangguan, do you want to take a sedan chair?" ”

"No, the disciple's feet are very strong." Wang Wei walked a few steps and followed the bighorn deer.

The group went out of Huating County, and walked slowly towards Sheshan Mountain in the east, Chen Jiru, who was riding on the bighorn deer, was silent, Wang Wei finally couldn't bear it, and asked: "Dong Hanlin suffered this catastrophe, what does Meigong think?" ”

Chen Jiru didn't answer, and after a while, he slowly groaned: "If it weren't for the fact that I didn't look at the world, I would have lingered in the scene, half a scoop of liquor had just woken up, and a roll of Huangting had a high pillow." ”

Wang Wei quietly grimaced, and said in his heart: "Mei Gong is talking about him left and right, but Mei Gong didn't fight for Dong Hanlin, presumably Mei Gong thought that Dong Hanlin was really at fault, just out of friendship, Mei Gong didn't comment." ”

She Shan was in sight, Chen Jiru breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "Wang Guan, it seems that Zhang Yuan has already done the matter, don't you say that he will go to Nanjing Guozijian, do you still want to go with him?" ”

Wang Wei's face was slightly red, as bright as a peach blossom, and said: "Whatever Meigong said, the disciple is just traveling by boat, and where is going with him." ”

Chen Jiru said: "Zhang Yuan is a person, unpredictable, so ruthless at a young age, not all the way with my generation, different ways do not conspire with each other, crown you don't want to fall into, this is a curse for you, you are a little woman, lingering in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, looking for a good person to marry, this life is enough." ”

Wang let out a low "um", but he didn't think much of it in his heart.
