The alley where Huang Zongxi's house is located is in the south of the city, and it is a bumpy ride in a horse-drawn carriage all the way to Jubaomen, which is directly south of Nanjing City. After the carriage stopped suddenly, Li Xin quietly listened to the negotiations between several rich second-generation families outside and the city gate officials in the carriage, looking calm and calm, and Huang Zongxi was also silent, which was a bit of a thief.

Wu Yingxuan was quite puzzled by this, "As a prince of the imperial court, the marquis of Zhenlu entered and exited the gate of the capital, why did he act like a thief? ”

This question, Li Xin only smiled but did not answer. First of all, he did not intend to enter the city of Nanjing and put himself under heavy surveillance before he could control the evidence of Nan Zhili's collusion with officials in Zhejiang. Secondly, as a noble military general of the imperial court, even if his status is noble, he is not as casual as ordinary people in and out of the city, in addition to an official certificate, he also needs to report his whereabouts and the purpose of the trip to the local yamen, so that he can rely on the official documents issued by the local government to handle the matter.

Therefore, with these two points, Li Xin was unwilling to expose his private entry into Nanjing City to the public no matter what.

Although Li Xin didn't say it, Huang Zongxi knew a lot about the imperial court's system of strict control over the noble generals, and after reprimanding Wu Yingxuan for a few words, he briefly explained the benefits and disadvantages. Wu Yingxuan, who listened, smacked his tongue again and again, "The Marquis of Zhenyu is already a super-grade marquis, is it possible that Ying Tianfu dares to take you to prison?" ”

With Li Xin's status today, there is no will to let any yamen and no official dare to deal with it privately, but there will definitely be people who will participate in the impeachment with a book, and Li Xin has not a few impeachments on his back, so he is not afraid. But the disposition he made in the past will inevitably be wasted because of his sudden appearance in Nanjing, so he will never take the initiative to show up unless he has to.

Of course, all the benefits and disadvantages cannot be said to Wu Yingxuan. While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of negotiation outside suddenly intensifying.

"How? Can't I vouch for it? This official is clearly written in black and white with the guide, is he blind to the dog's eyes? ”

Maybe it was a certain official son who was so angry that he actually reversed the words in black and white. Wu Yingxuan's young man's temperament couldn't help but laugh out loud, the son of the Yin family is so loud and laughing, this joke is enough for the Nanjing scholars to laugh for half of it!

Huang Zongxi taught with a straight face: "If you don't have to say anything serious, just talk about it at home, if you go out and publicize it casually, you will cause trouble for the second tail brother in vain, you know?" ”

Li Xin was in no mood to listen to the two of them, because listening to the shape outside, even the face of the extremely official son had lost its effect.

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry. It's not that the villain wants to embarrass the eldest son, it's really a Jun order from the mansion, no matter what kind of identity he is today, he is not allowed to go. You are good at doing it, if the villain releases the eldest son out of the city, the villain's guy who eats will be gone...... Please also ask the eldest prince to be sympathetic to the difficulties of the villain......"

Listening to the eldest son's voice getting louder and louder, but he was very nervous, Li Xin secretly sighed that he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the city as he wished today.

Suddenly hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside the car, Li Xin couldn't help but feel alert, but he heard frequent shouting outside.

"After the military governor's mansion changes its guard, all idle people are invited to leave, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with!"

This time, even the eldest prince lost his temper. Ying Tianfu's Yin family's son's shelf can also be put on a swing with these ordinary city gate officials, and the Houjun Governor's Mansion was ordered to be under the jurisdiction of the Wei State, but it can't be placed in front of others, even if it is placed, there is a reason not to accept it. As a result, a group of officials and rich sons were like defeated roosters, leading the convoy out of the south gate in frustration, only thinking that it was better to be as far away from Qiu Ba as possible from the governor's mansion of the rear army.

"Hey, I just remembered that my father is going to take the "Shangshu" exam tonight, everyone, go first!" The eldest prince's voice sounded again, but there was a little bit of embarrassment in it. Immediately afterwards, each with its own excuses, most of the people dispersed.

In this way, the convoy, which was still extremely majestic, dispersed in the blink of an eye, and each returned to its own home.

Huang Zongxi's expression was slightly emotional, as if these unreliable officials and sons had also made him lose face. Li Xin knew that no matter what happened, he couldn't blame him, so he said: "It's also the will of God that you can't leave today, leave Li Xin and Mr. Nan Lei drunk and rest, let's go, I have to ask you to break the bill tonight......"

Wu Yingxuan applauded from the side, and the young people were so lively and happy. After this rhetoric and twist, the expression on Huang Zongxi's face faded slightly, and he smiled instead: "I originally wanted to stay in the town to eat and drink, since I can't go out of the city recently, I should accompany the town to get drunk and rest, and I will mention the matter of leaving the city tomorrow." ”

The carriage had just returned to Huang Zongxi's mansion, and before a few people could get off the car, they heard a hearty voice outside the car.

"Brother Taichong, why is it delayed at this time, there is a big happy event looking for you to go to Fanlou to eat and drink!"

Wu Yingxuan immediately opened the curtain of the car door when he heard this, "Big brother is going to stay with me today!" ”

It turned out that the person who spoke was Wu Yinglin's compatriot brother Wu Yingji.

Wu Yingxuan was the first to jump out of the car, and said that Huang Zongxi's house came to the big man today, and Wu Yingji knew that his young brother had always been exaggerated and naughty, so he took it seriously. Naturally, it was not good to stay outside the door of the house for a long time, and the group got out of the car and entered the mansion.

Li Xin's identity is not obvious in a fine linen and blue robe, and if people who don't know the inside story may treat him as an ordinary martial artist. However, after Huang Zongxi solemnly introduced Li Xin to Wu Yingji, he was so shocked that he bluntly said that he didn't know Mount Tai.

Wu Yingji was extremely embarrassed, and apologized again and again, saying bluntly that he had admired the Marquis of Zhenyu for a long time, and it was an honor to see him today. Li Xin was stunned, he actually had a good reputation in the circle of these Jiangnan scholars. This is a bit unreasonable, according to his understanding, under normal circumstances, when scholars talk about martial artists, they are all disdainful, and the clear gap in identity will turn people away.

Li Xin looked directly at Wu Yingji, trying to find clues from his gaze to judge whether this person was false and responsive. But what he saw in the young man's eyes was nothing more than sincerity.

After Wu Yingji apologized repeatedly, he suddenly mentioned the purpose of today's visit.

"The truth is better than a chance encounter, if the marquis of Zhenyu doesn't dislike it, how about going to Fanlou to eat wine with him?"

Li Xin didn't want to go, but when Lu Jiu heard that there was wine to eat, he immediately came to his senses and glanced at him from behind. Huang Zongxi also persuaded him from the side, saying that they were all the same people in the Restoration Society, and there were no irrelevant outsiders. Under the enthusiasm, Li Xin thought that it would be a good start if he could make friends with these public opinion trendsetters, so he simply went to take a look, but there was a clause that he was not allowed to reveal a word of his identity.

Wu Yingji asked Li Xin about the purpose of his southward trip, and Li Xin did not hide it, so he told the truth concisely and concisely. Wu Yingxuan's mouth was fast, and he brought up the matter of Ruan Dacheng's back-to-back troublemaker and disturbing the price of rice in Yingtianfu.

"Ruan Dacheng's betrayal of Donglin's sycophancy, and now he is lenient to let him live a dog, this son does not want to change but makes waves, it is really everyone who gets it!"

Li Xin heard what he said very spicy, and he could guess that many of these backbone members of the Restoration Society belonged to the radical category, so he politely persuaded: "Ruan Dacheng has Zhou Yanru as his backing, and he is extremely wealthy, so he can't just make him fall into line with a bit of verbal criticism, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be taken advantage of by gangsters." ”

Wu Yingji was slightly stunned when he heard Li Xin's words, and then said firmly: "My generation of scholars dare not forget the words of the sage for a moment, how can they avoid it because of misfortune and fortune?" Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they changed and stood up, and said what others did not dare to say......"

"Brother Jiwei said well, my generation should ignore the interests of life and death, and scold these young people in the country with nothing to hide, and it is also a little brother."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of high-fives coming from outside the house, and at the same time a Confucian scholar walked in! Li Xin felt that his eyes flickered, and he turned out to be a good boy with a good appearance, "Why did the second tail brother delay and not go?" Everyone sent a little brother to urge! ”

Wu Yingji then remembered that he was looking for Huang Zongxi to eat and drink, so he hurriedly stretched out his right hand and slapped his forehead, and smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, yes!" As soon as I said it, I forgot that Brother Chao was combing for the beautiful woman today, how could it be done without Brother Taichong, the chief writer of the "Bulletin", to testify? ”

Li Xin frowned when he saw it, these high-spirited scholars sighed that the world's major events are all a faction of people who have descended from heaven to do it. can talk about this wind and snow moon can be changed suddenly, and the love that was full of righteous indignation just now. In fact, this is what Li Xin didn't know, even in the Ming Dynasty, when science was prevalent, today's scholars directly regard the wind and the moon as a matter of elegance, and they don't talk about peach color and color change like later generations. If you can achieve a pair of talented and beautiful women, it is enough to pass on to future generations. Therefore, the eunuch rebel wants to be criticized, and the talented and beautiful woman can't spend this rare good time.

This beautiful son and Wu Yingji were the same at the beginning, and they only treated Li Xin as a guest of ordinary visits, but seeing that he was dressed in a fine linen and blue robe, and he had a beard, he couldn't guess the identity of this person for a while, so he also said politely, and the brothers went to eat and drink together.

Unexpectedly, Li Xin readily agreed, and the young son of Pian Pian Jia suddenly felt that this person was too unsophisticated, but it was just a polite remark, how could it be taken seriously? According to the behavior of ordinary people, the friend of the master politely refused the kindness, how could he agree without knowing the advance and retreat? But the words have been spoken, and it is not good to provoke people again, so I have to smile and ignore this vulgar martial artist.

Huang Zongxi originally wanted to introduce Li Xin, but Li Xin didn't want too many people to know his identity, so he shook his head imperceptibly. So, Huang Zongxi had no choice but to change his words and introduce Li Xinnai as a brother he met when he was in trouble in Taiyuan.

Li Xin was afraid that Huang Zongxi's compilation was unreliable, so he grabbed the conversation and asked angrily: "General Li 13 under the general army account of Shanxi!" ”
