Li Kuilong smiled indifferently: "It's useless if I'm just afraid." How many handles have been held in your hands, it is not difficult to find hundreds of crimes, who teaches us to do things not as strict as Shi Lao Xianggong, not only to learn Ruan Huzi to buy the name of the visit from the door when he leaves the house, even on his birthday, he also secretly teaches his family to give gifts late at night, and does not write a gift list, only carves his own name on gold, silver and jade, it is really a god who does not know it, how can mortals such as me know? I heard ......"

"This guy slandered the important ministers of the court, and beat him to death with a stick!" Shi Fenglai didn't expect this section at all, and couldn't help but be angry. But the audience did not agree, shouting: "Teach him to finish!" "There's nothing wrong with it, and I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door." What are you afraid of him? ”

Li Kuilong got up and looked at the audience, if it weren't for the fact that his hands were tied, he was afraid that he would make a circle, and shouted: "Even if everyone is willing to listen, Kuilong will tell it desperately." When Wei Zhongxian's house was raided, Shi Xiangye remembered that there was a pure gold drowning pot with his name engraved on it, so he spent five hundred taels of silver to ask the eunuch Zhang Bangshao to scrape it off with a knife. This matter has already spread in the palace and has become a laughing stock for a while, almost everyone knows about it, and I am afraid that it is only Shi Xiangye who has hidden it. As soon as these words came out, Rao is old ministers such as Huang Liji on the stage were heavy-minded, and the lowly officials on the left and right were intimidated by the prestige of the ministers, and they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Everyone in the audience was even more happy, some leaned on others, some covered their stomachs and couldn't straighten their waists, and some couldn't change their anger and turned purple. In an instant, there was a laugh on and off the stage, and the Dongyue Temple was boiling like a soup pot. Wang Chengen laughed so early that his stomach hurt, he squatted on the ground and couldn't get up for a while, remembering that he didn't know how the Long Live Lord was smiling, he hurriedly got up and peeked, where was Chongzhen's figure? The retinue and the guards also left. Wang Chengen didn't know why, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, his eyes were in a trance, and the golden sound was ringing in his ears, and he only settled down after a while, only to hear Tian Ergeng shouting: "Which of you is not guilty?" Worthy to interrogate us? Xu Xianchun also jumped to his feet and said: "If you want to teach us to be convinced, change your innocence as soon as possible!" Save teaching us to smell the general copper smell and pickle?! Sun Yunhe and Yang Huan also shouted and scolded, and the public hall was suddenly chaotic, and the ministers, the three divisions, and the various departments were helpless, neither sitting nor walking, and their expressions were extremely embarrassed. The expressions of everyone in the audience gradually became angry, and they scolded the corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: "Dog thief Xu Xianchun!" Give back my father's life! A young man in white jumped onto the stage, took a sharp cone from his sleeve and thrust it into his back. The guards wanted to step forward to stop them, but the ministers did not speak, and the ministers, the three divisions, and the various departments secretly hated them for climbing indiscriminately, and they were happy to stand by and watch.

Xu Xianchun avoided in horror, climbed to the middle of the case and said: "My grandmother is Princess Jiashan, the daughter of Emperor Muzong. Save me, or I will die or be wounded, and you will not be able to get out of it! The ministers looked at each other, as if moved by their words.

The white-clothed young man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his backhand was another cone, stabbing him bloody, and scolded: "You dog thief! When death comes, I don't know how to regret it! You colluded with the old thief Wei inside and outside, and you were a traitor, and how many loyal ministers and righteous soldiers died at your hands! As a royal prince, you are willing to fall, forget your roots and rebel against a different surname, bring disaster to the country and the people, and conspire against you! The one who committed this great crime of rebellion in this dynasty is the prince Longsun, such as Gao Xu and Chenhao, who are the princes, and they are still killed according to the law, not to mention that you are just a relative of the queen's family! How many souls do you have in your hands? How many subjects' blood debts? Thou hast returned my father's command. After stabbing a few cones, Xu Xianchun cried wolf howl, and changed his voice: "You little beast stabbed so hard!" I have never met you, where have I harmed your father? ”

The young man in white stabbed him in the heel of the leg and said, "Do you remember the iron-clad Yuyao Huang Zhenchang?" ”

"Who are you Huang Zunsu?" Xu Xianchun rolled his eyes and asked.

"Zongxi is not good, my father died at the hands of you, a traitor, but he is powerless to save him!" Weeping bitterly, he raised his cone and stabbed like a madman, regardless of the blood splattered on the white cotton robe, bit by bit, like a plum calyx in the snow in early spring. He punched Cui Yingyuan so much that his head was bleeding, Shang Jue couldn't understand the evil anger in his heart, grabbed the beard under his chin, pulled out a lock, and scolded: "Dog thief, although I can't kill you on the spot, I must use your beard as a substitute for your head and go to the edict to pay tribute to my father's loyal soul." Cui Yingyuan rolled all over the ground in pain, and his jaw was dripping with blood. Everyone was moved and exclaimed: "It's really long!" Tian Ergeng and the others were also shocked by Huang Zongxi's arrogance, and Huang Liji took the opportunity to hurriedly say: "This group of traitors is clearly guilty, there is no need for retrial, and they will be sent back to the edict prison, and tomorrow they will be enlightened to the saints, and the law can be corrected." "A triage ended hastily.

Wang Chengen was embarrassed to see it, and hurriedly followed behind Huang Zongxi, leaving Dongyue Temple, turning around and coming to the dilapidated house, the wall collapsed, and the thick snow had not yet covered the withered grass, and it was conceivable that the scene of basil all over the ground in summer and autumn must be an abandoned house that had been uninhabited for a long time, and when he turned to go in, he remembered that it was the donkey market alley outside Dong'an Gate, not far from the palace, thinking that he would return to the palace to restore his life, and he didn't have time to check the details inside, so he hurriedly walked away.

Back in the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, seeing Gao Shiming, Wang Yongzuo, Wang Wenzheng and others gathered under the eaves of the corridor, Wang Chengen stepped forward to give a salute, and was about to go in, but was pulled by Wang Yongzuo and said: "What is my brother doing?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Go in and return to the decree." Dude, what's the matter? ”

Wang Yongzuo said to Neinu: "Long live Lord is angry, lunch has not yet entered, are you not afraid of hitting the south wall?" Wang Chengen realized that several people looked extremely anxious and uneasy, and they didn't dare to enter the hall rashly, so they wandered outside together. Chongzhen had heard it in the hall and asked, "But the little enzi has returned?" Why don't you come in? ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed to enter the hall lightly, knelt down and peeked at it, Chongzhen sat on the kang and didn't raise his head: "How did you close the case later?" ”

Only then did Wang Chengen know that the long-lived master did not see or know the scene of the young man in white appearing on the stage, and replied softly: "When the stage was in chaos, a young man in white jumped on the stage, scolded those traitors loudly, stabbed Xu Xianchun with a sharp cone, and punched Cui Yingyuan with his fist, plucked his beard, and then knocked out the arrogance of the traitorous party, did not dare to make noise and twist, and was detained and returned to the edict. ”

Chongzhen put down the fold in his hand and asked, "Who is the young man in white?" There is such ambition, the sky is not afraid of the earth! ”

"It is the descendant of Huang Zunsu, who supervised the imperial history, and his name is Zongxi."

"Where are you now?" Chongzhen's eyes flashed, as if he intended to see Huang Zongxi.

"Living in a thatched hut in the alley of Donkey City, the slave is afraid that the long-lived lord is in a hurry to wait for the news of the trial, so she doesn't have time to read more." Wang Chengen couldn't answer in detail, so he regretted that he didn't stay for a moment. Unexpectedly, Chongzhen got up and said, "Okay! Though I go and see this man. ”

Wang Chengen was shocked and said hurriedly: "Long live the Lord has not had lunch, and besides, he is just a flat-headed commoner, why bother to bow down to the dignity of ten thousand times and go there to pickle?" A broken place? If you want to see him, wouldn't it be convenient to pass him into the palace? ”

Chongzhen smiled: "This person is such a young hero, it is worth seeing." At a time when the country is employing people, if I am thirsty for virtue, how can I rely on the dignity of the emperor and despise the corporal? Don't you remember the golden platform of King Yan Zhao? In the past, the Yan family valued Guo Kui, and there was no suspicion of supporting the coma. The drama Xin Leyi is grateful, and the liver is dissected to serve the talents. Speaking of the palace, how can there be the truth? What kind of flattering and flattering honorifics have all become, out of tune, out of tune, out of taste, what does it matter if you listen to it or not, what is the difference? Wang Chengen didn't dare to persuade again, so he had to go out and pay homage to Gao Shiming, Gao Shiming knew that the Lord didn't want people to show off, so he hurriedly selected a brocade guard master to escort him around, and told Wang Chengen to be careful, and ordered more than a dozen brocade guards to change into civilian clothes, take the first step, and scatter around the alley of Donkey City to secretly take care of it.

The sky has passed the time, it is the season of short days and long nights, the sun has been much westerly, and there is no trace of daylight in the alley of Donkey Market. Wang Chengen secretly prayed in his heart: Huang Zongxi, Huang Zongxi! You must not go out, if I don't see you, long live the Lord blame, how can I bear it? In a hurry, he hurried ahead, Chongzhen and the guard followed, and before the three of them approached the grass house, they saw a wisp of cooking smoke coming out of the roof, and it was past the time to eat, which was particularly eye-catching. Wang Chengen was overjoyed, and when he entered the courtyard, he tapped the door panel a few times, and with a squeak, the dilapidated door panel opened a crack, revealing half of his gray head, and asked in a dumb voice: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Wang Chengen was secretly taken aback when he saw that it was a half-old man, and asked softly: "Old manager, dare to ask if there is a Huang Gongzi here?" ”

Seeing that the three of them were dressed elegantly, the old man let the three of them into the house and said, "Huang Gongzi, Xia Gongzi and my son-in-law have gone out together, and they haven't come back yet, so let's sit and wait for a while." So saying, he hurriedly opened the door of the house, let the three of them inside, and diligently brushed the dust from the stool with his sleeve.

"What time have you been out?" Chongzhen sat down and asked.

"I'm afraid it's been two hours, and I think I'm coming back soon." The old man offered three cups of tea, and said with a smile: "This tea is the green tea produced in Xiao Lao'er's hometown, although it is not very good, it is not as good as the products of the generous place, but it is also fresh." ”

Chongzhen sniffed the tea, Wang Chengen was busy with an inedible look, Chongzhen smiled and covered the tea in his hand to keep warm, and asked, "Where did they go?" ”

The old man turned around and added fire to the stove, and did not hide it, and replied: "I said that I went to the edict to find two people." As he was talking, the laughter outside the courtyard came straight into the house, "Brother Taichong, today is another long-cherished wish, it's really happy!" How about the younger brother pay for a pot of water and wine to drink? One is to celebrate, and the other is to be cold. ”

"The big thing is not finished, and the virtuous brother should not be indulged. If all wishes are granted, the foolish brother will naturally no longer stop it. If you drink it today, you will pour out the blocks in your breast with a cup of wine; If the block does not exist, it is difficult to have injustice. If we lose this guilt, how can our generation collect debts and take revenge? Wang Chengen heard the voice and knew that it was the young man in white who was gently dissuading. The old man also heard it, and hurriedly came out and said, "Huang Gongzi, your old friend is looking for you." The young man in white walked into the door of the house, and saw three people sitting on a stool, who did not know each other, and the matter was in a hurry, and he was stunned for a while, and the two people behind him also showed a look of astonishment.

Chongzhen got up and hugged his fist at the white-clothed young man and said, "Brother Tai must be the 'Huang Xiaozi' that everyone admires." Today, I heard that Brother Tai's demeanor in Dongyue Temple, I admired it, and I came to pay a visit, which was really abrupt. ”

Huang Zongxi returned the salute: "How dare you, how dare you!" The light of the nobles descends, and the fluff shines. It's just that the place is simple, and it is inconvenient to drink tea and eat. We are waiting for the poor family to be white, and we are so plain, but we don't mean to be lazy. Look at the bright clothes of the three of them, and the faces are full of vigilance.

Chongzhen smiled lightly and explained: "The younger brother is not rich, but there have been no changes in the family, and he has made one or two new clothes, and he can also visit good customers and friends, first, to respect, and second, to be decent." ”

When Huang Zongxi heard the word "accident", he remembered his father's tragic death, his expression darkened, and he hurriedly covered up: "Haven't you asked for the name of Gao?" Stretched out his hand and asked Chongzhen and the three to sit down. Chongzhen sat down with a smile, but Wang Chengen and the others ignored it and still stood behind Chongzhen.

Chongzhen said: "The little brother is fortunate to have a national surname, and his name is Youxian. Less lost, long lost, now alone, Lai Zu has furniture, so he can live a good life. Thinking of the fact that when I was a child, I couldn't bear the knees of my biological mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaochun, and even her face couldn't be seen a few times, and I couldn't help but feel sad.

Huang Zongxi saw the tears in his eyes, thinking that he was also a lover, he seemed to feel closer, and hugged his fists again and said: "It turned out to be Brother Youxian, disrespectful." Turning his head, he pointed to the handsome young man beside him and said, "This is Yan Zuo, the son of Lord Zhou Jihou of Wujiang, the imperial history of Fujian Province." This one is Xia Cheng, the son of the Sichuan Dao Imperial Shi Xia Zhiling, and they are all the younger brothers. He pointed to the boy with a slightly dark face and a stout body.

Chongzhen hugged his fists and said politely: "Young Junjie, I have admired him for a long time." That Zhou Yanzuo's face was like a crown of jade, and he returned the salute with a slight red face. Xia Cheng muttered in a low voice: "No wonder I took such a name, I was originally a friend of the sage, and I was able to speak well." ”

Chongzhen only didn't hear it, and asked with a smile: "Brother Huang stabbed the adulterer in public, and his father's revenge was avenged, and he was very happy." Shicai said that there are still unfulfilled wishes, can you tell me? ”

Huang Zongxi sighed and said, "Brother Zhu is not too noisy, and it doesn't hurt to say it." He took a sip of tea, looked up and closed his eyes, as if he was very sad and sad, and if he meditated, "it was just a delusion......

Zhou Yanzuo said: "My brother is unwilling because he failed to kill the old thief Wei. A few days ago, my brother followed the old thief Wei all the way, but he didn't have a chance to start, but when the old thief arrived in Fucheng County, Hejian Prefecture, he committed suicide. ”

Chongzhen was about to ask again, but heard someone outside the courtyard shouting, "Is Huang Gongzi here?" ”。 He was busy, looked at the three of Chongzhen, pointed to the back room and said, "Brother Zhu, I'm really sluggish." Chongzhen smiled and got up to hide.

Outside the hospital, the sound of footsteps and tapping, it seems that a lot of people have come. Peeking through the cotton curtain, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties who was white and fat, and the hood on his head was not removed, covering half of his face, and his appearance was not very clear. The man was very respectful to Huang Zongxi, and his words were very polite, and he sat down on the bench and said, "It's almost dusk, and the little brother knows that he hasn't eaten yet, so how about asking the brother to move to Liuquanju for a few drinks?" Seeing that he was more than ten years older than Huang Zongxi, and he had a little brother, Chongzhen almost couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you very much. It's just that it's not where the poor and the poor go. Huang Zongxi replied coldly.

The man didn't think it was angry, and said with a smile: "There has already been a change of master there, and the surname is not Wei." ”

"Gao Tang Huafang is not surnamed Wei but also surnamed Wei, what he eats is the flesh of Li Min, and what he drinks is the blood of Li Min, how can I eat and drink Li Min's children?" Huang Zongxi's words were sarcastic and sharp, and Chongzhen felt a little disrespectful and unkind.

The middle-aged man coughed a few times, covered up the embarrassment, and said: "The younger brother knows that the younger brother hates the younger brother for framing Lord Ling Zun back then, and this matter is really unreasonable, it was all forced by the old thief of Wei, and the younger brother was not far-reaching enough, and fell for his tricks." Every time I think about it, it hurts my heart. As he spoke, he hid his face and wanted to cry. Huang Zongxi didn't pay attention to it at all, and said sharply: "There is a cause in the front, and there is an effect in the back, and the cycle of cause and effect is the opportunity of heaven and the principle of nature, how can you let people's will change?" The ancients said: It is ominous to go against the sky. You don't have to say any more. The tone was resolute and categorical.

Seeing that it was difficult to be moved, the middle-aged man put his hand down and said hatefully: "Just now, the three of you went to the Imperial Prison to execute the jailers Ye Shi and Yan Wenzhong. I heard that you are also going to organize the children of the martyred families to set up a memorial service at the main gate of the edict prison to pay tribute to the dead fathers. If you are ambitious, you are worthy of being called a filial son. But the younger brother also wants to persuade you a few words, it's too much, and now that the brother's anger is almost out, he should also stop and open the net. Be forgiving and forgiving, you are running around in Beijing, how many people are afraid? When will you give up? How do you let go of my little brother? ”

Huang Zongxi stood up and shouted: "Li Shi, when you were a tiger and killed Zhongliang, did you ever have this thought? Chongzhen suddenly remembered that Li Shi originally worked in Suzhou and Hangzhou weaving, but now he has stripped off his crown belt and lived in a private house, but he is still in Beijing.

Li Shi gestured outward, knelt down, and pleaded: "The younger brother is not the first evil, and the sins have not reached the point of not being forgiven, I beg the younger brother to let the younger brother have a way to live, reform himself, and be a new person." The two attendants carried into a wooden box, put it down and opened it, and inside was a box full of white flowers and silver, shining brightly, reflecting the dilapidated hall much brighter. Li Shi pointed to the box and said, "Here are three thousand taels of silver, even if it is the little brother's atonement money, no, no, it is the ransom money." The sage also said, 'If you can change after that, you will be great!' 'Ask Brother Tai to look up to the training of the saint, let Li Shi go, don't push people too much! ”

"Yes, the saint said that. It's just that small mistakes can be changed, but sins can never be forgiven! To this day, you still dare to bribe the public bank, deceive the heavens and deceive the king and the law, where is there a trace of shame and remorse! Not to mention just three thousand taels of silver, even three thousand taels of gold would not buy the life of the deceased! Above the Ming Hall, there is a public opinion, you don't have to waste your time anymore! The more Huang Zongxi spoke, the more passionate he became, his eyes were angry, and he was awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Li Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! The case of rebellion is just a whim of the emperor, and Ding Xin has to do some new policies, you must not take it seriously. I don't believe that no one wants this white money? Walk! "Get up and go with your followers.

"Wait!" Chongzhen screamed and lifted the curtain out. Li Shi didn't want anyone to be in the back room, so he was shocked, and when he saw that it was a thin young man, he regarded him as the son of an official eunuch who was in distress, and snorted: "Another filial son who asks for his father's life!" You've all come together. Aren't you afraid to sue you for wanting to rebel, and Dongchang Fanzi came to arrest you? ”

Chongzhen said angrily: "Your sin of disobedience is unforgivable, but you slander the government and the government, and speculate on the heart of heaven, are you not afraid of punishing your nine clans?" ”

Li Shi was so angry that he grabbed the hood, fell on the spot, jumped to his feet and said, "What a big breath!" Who are you? At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are so many people of all colors, and there are such arrogant people! Although I said that the crown belt was idle, I was also an official of the imperial court, how should I eat the anger of you, a young boy! Before the words fell, the figure in front of him shook, only hearing a snap, Li Shi had already received a crisp and loud slap on his face, and red marks on his five fingers faintly appeared.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around! Hit me this bastard! Li Shi covered his face and shouted out of the door, no one answered for a long time, and when he hurried out to look, where was the figure of half of his entourage? He turned back and asked in horror, "Who are you?" How dare you kill someone in the capital? As soon as he said this, Huang Zongxi, Zhou Yanzuo, and Xia Cheng were also shocked, and they all turned their heads to stare at Chongzhen.

Chongzhen smiled and bowed slightly to the guard, who took out the golden waist card under his coat and shouted: "Li Shi, open your dog eyes and take a good look, we are the guards with knives in front of the six ranks, do you know who the young master is?" ”

"Your Majesty—" Li Shi collapsed to the ground. Huang Zongxi and the three of them were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses and hurriedly knelt down. Huang Zongxi burst into tears and choked up. Chongzhen preemptively said: "Huang Xiaozi, you don't have to say more, I will give you a clean explanation!" Seeing that you are still young, you should study well, and the country still needs to employ people. He turned around and went out, got into the sedan chair, and went away at dusk.

Note: The eight views of Yanjing, the Ming Dynasty Ether Liquid Eye Wave, Qiongdao Chunyun, Daoling Sunset, Jimen Smoke Tree, Xishan Jixue, Yuquan Weeping Rainbow, Lugou Xiaoyue, Juyong Stacked Cui are the eight views of Yanjing, which are slightly different from the Jin and Yuan dynasties.

Wanli Jinshi, in the Apocalypse, he was appointed to give things to the matter. At the beginning of Chongzhen, he attached Wei Zhongxian, was listed as a reverse case, and lived in Nanjing. Because of the large and dense beard, it has this nickname.
