Chapter 488: Strange Things

******

The two people who were beaten in the teahouse, one named Huang Mengliang and the other Qian Chen, were both former Ming Ju people, and the identity of the former Ming Ju people was also recognized by Daqin.

Although the city patrol soldiers arrived in time, Xu Yongshun and several entourages were not lightly attacked, and Huang and Qian were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and they looked very miserable.

This incident attracted a large number of onlookers, Xu Yongshun was afraid that others would not know the way, and he was escorted to Jiangning County on the way, constantly struggling and shouting: "Let go of me, I am the Great Qin Hall Liupin Cheng Zhilang, why are you arresting me?" These two sour rotten goods slandered the King of Qin, and it was light to beat him."

In fact, Huang Mengliang and Qian Chen said that there were traitorous ministers in the court, and they really did not directly slander King Qin, but Xu Yongshun deliberately ignored the "traitorous ministers" who were scolded, and just insisted that Huang Qian and the others slandered King Qin.

The subtext of Xu Yongshun doing this is, it doesn't matter who you slander, it doesn't matter if you slander my brother-in-law, you can't slander King Qin.

This incident was already a sensation, Xu Yongshun shouted all the way, and there were more and more onlookers.

There was a lot of discussion, but there were subtle differences in the discussion, most of the ordinary people supported Xu Yongshun, while the scholars generally condemned Xu Yongshun for bullying and insulting Sven.

Zhong Chuwen, the magistrate of Jiangning, was preparing the lanterns for the night with his family in the back office, and suddenly heard the report from the officer, and when he came out to take a look, he was secretly startled. There were a lot of people outside the yamen, and at first glance they thought there had been a civil unrest.

He asked the master to come out and ask, a six-grade Cheng Zhilang, instructed his entourage to injure two lifters, and the two lifters were said to have slandered the King of Qin, and nearly a hundred scholars came to shout grievances for the two lifters. Hundreds of ordinary people shouted loudly that the two raised people to slander the king of Qin should be beaten

What's going on, don't mention it, I'm afraid this Lantern Festival won't be able to happen.

Zhong Chuwen hurriedly ascended to the court, and the case was not complicated. Although Qian and Huang denied that they slandered the King of Qin, they did not deny that the King of Qin was bewitched by the traitors in the court, so that he did such an absurd thing as letting the palace concubine come out to open an embroidery workshop. It was also warmly praised by most of the readers outside the hall

Xu Yongshun did not deny the fact that he beat people, but he still insisted that he came out to beat people because he couldn't see Qian and Huang slandering King Qin.

True, the case is clear. But how to judge is a problem, the readers and ordinary people outside the hall are very excited, each insisting on their own words, and if the judgment is not good, it may cause greater waves.

Zhong Chuwen was very embarrassed, and Master Liu next to him stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, you can't judge this lawsuit, don't forget, my lord, Xu Yongshun is higher than you in terms of official rank." This case can be transferred to Ying Tianfu and judged by Ying Tianfu Yin. ”

Zhong Chuwen thought about it, this was reasonable, and hurriedly pushed this hot potato to Yingtianfu.

That's it. This case was quickly transferred to Ying Tianfu, and Yin Luo Runan of Ying Tianfu was promoted to ask about the case, and there were more people outside who came to see the excitement, anyway, today is the Lantern Festival. Everyone is idle, and it will be night to see the lights.

Luo Runan asked about the case, and Qin Mu had the will not to speak and sin. In other words, although the remarks of Huang Mengliang and Qian Chen were suspected of slandering the ministers of the DPRK and China, they did not constitute a crime.

In this case, although Xu Yongshun instructed his servants to beat people out of the intention of defending the King of Qin, it was naturally Xu Yongshun who made a mistake in accordance with the law. Besides, although Xu Yongshun is a six-rank loose official, he has no law enforcement power, and he has the right to report illegality, but it is his fault to beat people without authorization.

Luo Runan sentenced Xu Yongshun to pay Qian Mengliang and Qian Chen fifty taels of silver for the cost of soup and medicine, and in addition, please demote Xu Yongshun to two levels of official rank, and then beat his servants with 20 boards.

Huang Mengliang and Qian Chen were quite meaningful to Luo Runan's verdict and had no objections.

But what about Xu Yongshun? Everyone present thought that Master Xu would definitely not accept such a verdict and would definitely make a lot of trouble.

However, to everyone's surprise, although Xu Yongshun still indignantly accused Huang Mengliang and Qian Chen of slandering King Qin, they should be beaten. However, there was no objection to Luo Runan's verdict.

Pay for it, a hundred taels of silver should be fed to the dogs.

As for the downgrading of the two ranks, Luo Runan doesn't count, this piece of music is handed over, and the officials have the final say.

Xu Yongshun couldn't wait for Luo Runan to push himself to the end and directly deprive him of his official rank, so that he would be even more aggrieved.

This thing is like this, that's enough, I'm very busy, I don't have time to compensate you for playing anymore.

Xu Yongshun directly took out a stack of treasure Daqin treasure banknotes, ordered a hundred taels to pay for the soup and medicine, and then found a cart and asked people to pull a few servants who had been beaten back to the house.

After entering the house, he rushed to his sister's boudoir in a hurry, "Sister, sister, hurry, dress up, my brother will take you to see the art exhibition." ”

His sister's name is Xu Ruoshi, seventeen years old this year, with a beautiful appearance, a slender figure, a weak and slender waist, a typical melon seed face, delicate skin like jade, a pair of bright eyes looking forward to affection, and full of grace and luxury of everyone's ladies.

"What kind of exhibition? My brother doesn't have a scripture, so I won't go. The boudoir was richly and elegantly furnished, Xu Ruoshi was reading under the window, raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Yongshun, and answered casually.

Xu Yongshun stepped forward and snatched the book in her hand and said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, this time brother, I'm serious, you don't know what to do, the paintings on display this time are amazing, they are embroidered by Gu Meiren in the palace with a needle and a thread, it is said that the degree of subtlety is difficult to distinguish whether it is needle and thread or pen and ink, even a talent like Dong Qichang is full of praise, and also, King Qin cough cough, anyway, my brother promises, my sister went, it will definitely be worth the trip." ”

Originally, Xu Ruoshi was quite excited, but when she heard him mention King Qin, she hesitated;

Her brother has always wanted to send her to the palace, Xu Ruoshi knows this, and her brother does not hide his thoughts.

Today, the Xu family is no longer a prominent Guogong Mansion, and the elder brother is only in his early twenties, it is not easy to support this family, as a younger sister, she can understand these.

If you enter the palace by yourself, you can avoid the Xu family's middle way, Xu Ruoshi doesn't mind doing this, anyway, a woman's marriage, who she marries, can't make her own decisions.

It's just that King Qin has refused to marry the Xu family, Xu Ruoshi inevitably has some pimples in her heart, and after hearing her brother mention King Qin, she doesn't want to go anymore.

Xu Yongshun sighed and said, "Sister, King Qin just inscribed a poem and exhibited it with the painting, and he didn't go to the gallery. Sister, since my father died, we are left to depend on each other, and my brother's thoughts have never been hidden from you;

Yes, my brother asked you to go to the art exhibition, it was a little selfish, but this was for the good of our Xu family and my sister, my brother had been with King Qin for a period of time and knew him very well;

Brother doesn't lie to you, even if you count it from ordinary people, King Qin is also a person worthy of your trust, and now Queen Yang is also a virtuous and virtuous person, I will be your sister, if King Qin is not good, my brother will not push you into the kang even if he does. ”

After hearing this, Xu Ruoshi was already covered with tears, and she wiped her tears and said, "Brother, don't say it, sister just go with you." ”

"Sister, listen to me, let you go to the art exhibition today, there is no other meaning, don't you usually embroider some flowers and plants, this Gu beauty's painting and embroidery is really wonderful, let's go today, purely to appreciate the painting and embroidery, don't think too much."

Xu Ruoshi glanced at him, then dressed up a little, and went out in a sedan chair with his brother.

This time, Gu Meiren's painting and embroidery exhibition was set up in the Peach Leaf Hall next to Taoye Du, and the brothers went to the hall to see, many ladies rushed to watch, and the front of the hall was full of incense chairs.

But the strange thing is that those vassal and elegant literati should have flocked to it, but very few scholars came to the scene, Xu Yongshun asked Han Zan, who was in charge of the exhibition, to inquire about it, and it seemed that most of the scholars spontaneously boycotted the exhibition.

Boycott? Could it be that Chengdu is like Qian Chen and Huang Mengliang, who think that the concubines in the palace come out to hold some embroidery exhibition, which is unseemly

Xu Yongshun let his sister in to watch, and he chatted with Han Zanzhou while thinking, he was very keenly aware that this situation was not simple, and it might set off an unimaginable wave.

The more Xu Yongshun thought about it, the more strange he learned, the last time he fought for eight shares, it was still half against half, why did the scholars seem to stand aside this time?

Xu Yongshun was born in a powerful family and has a much more sensitive political sense than ordinary people, and after thinking about it, he hopes to seize an opportunity from the crisis.
