Qingsui also said, "You can't be lenient with yourself and strict with others." The family's words and deeds are inappropriate, and naturally they must also accept the public's 'guidance and teaching'. Otherwise, this is how to treat people who are not born in a family, what is this called? Is it called, 'Only the governors are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps'? ”

Jin Niang was made ridiculous by this "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps". She lit the green sui, and for the first time she knew the green spike of Mu Ne's duty, it turned out that she still had such a tricky and difficult side.

"We are on the opposite side of the family, but we are still good for them in our hearts. Since we can help them improve their shortcomings and help them improve, we are naturally duty-bound. Ma'am, do you think I'm right? ”

Jin Niang high-fived and praised, "That's right." Then do as you say. Let's talk about this matter well, so that those families can know their shortcomings, and let them 'transform' under the supervision of the public. ”

Speaking of the word 'transformation', Jin Niang couldn't help laughing anymore.

When Xu Erlang came back, he heard her hearty laughter, and looked at her with a smile, "What good things happened?" ”

The maid in the house hurriedly saluted, and then hurried away. Some went to make tea, some went to get towels and water, and some found fans and handed them to Jinniang.

While playing a fan, Jin Niang went to the back room with Xu Erlang to change her clothes. She also casually told the maids what she had just agreed upon. She smiled as she spoke, and it was clear that the decision had made her happy.

Xu Erlang glanced at her, "It's good if you're happy." ”

Of course she was happy.

Doing the right thing for heaven is always satisfying.

Again, I don't believe that he is not happy.

After all, the degree to which this person will repay is the strongest she has seen in her life. The family offended him so much, and he had the opportunity to show the face of the family - although this was a small way, in Xu Erlang's opinion, it was a bit unelegant. But the family was unlucky, and he must have been happy to see the consequences.

Jin Niang pretended not to notice his wrong side, and instead asked him how he saw people, and if he would continue to see him tomorrow?

"It's gone, it's almost time to see." Tomorrow I have to deal with the people of the five great families, and I can't always put people in prison and ignore them.

The key is that the jailer in the prison can more or less have a relationship with the side relatives of the five great families, or the subordinates in the house.

The position of the family in their hearts is deep-rooted, and it cannot be shaken for a moment. As a result, the life of the family in prison turned out to be very good, not to mention the food and clothing, but it was almost the same as some rich people.

Is this jail time? They don't understand what it means to go to jail.

A sneer appeared on Xu Erlang's face, and Jin Niang knew that someone was going to be unlucky when she saw this. As for who is unlucky, needless to say, everyone knows it.

At dinner on this day, Chang Qi was talking to Jin Niang about what he was learning today, and the brothers Chang'an and Brother Rong entered the flower hall.

Jin Niang didn't know why, so she blurted out, "Changqi has resumed classes, how do you arrange Brother Rong'er's studies?" ”

For a while, everyone in the flower hall, including Chang Qi, who was reciting the book, as well as Chang'an and Brother Rong, all looked at Xu Erlang, who was sitting at the top and holding a book in his hand that he didn't know what was written.

Xu Erlang just finished reading it, so he folded it and put it in his hand. He asked Brother Rong, "What does Brother Rong think, is he going to enroll in school in a few days, or is he going to see the world in the south before going to the academy?" ”

Xu Erlang also said his arrangements for Brother Rong, "There is Qingyang Academy, one of the four major academies in Qizhou Mansion, and I have a few connections with the mountain chief inside, and Brother Rong can go there to study at that time." ”

Although Qingyang Academy is also one of the four major academies, the literary style of this academy is far thicker than that of Guozijian and Yingtian Academy in the capital.

Since ancient times, seventy percent of the scholars in the imperial court have been from the south of the Yangtze River. And among these seventy percent, fifty percent are from Qingyang Academy.

Jiangnan scholars do not recognize the so-called "Four Great Academies of Great Qi" at all, and in their opinion, the rest of the academies of Great Qi are difficult to compare with Qingyang Academy.

Since the establishment of Qingyang Academy, it has gone through three dynasties, and there are countless celebrities and Confucians of all dynasties, or officials who have been enlightened, and there are countless people who have exerted their residual heat here.

The depth of Qingyang Academy's heritage, the richness of the collection of books, and the knowledge of the teachers are difficult to compare even with Guozijian. And under the fame, there is no vanity, this series of advantages, make Qingyang Academy a holy place in the hearts of Jiangnan students.

Brother Rong also had an expectation that his father would let him go to Qingyang Academy to study, after all, Qizhou and Tongzhou are adjacent to each other, and it is very convenient to travel by water or land. When things are going well, it's not a problem to cross two state capitals in a day.

The distance is close, the academy is good, who is the Qingyang Academy?

Brother Rong nodded, "I'll go to Qingyang Academy to study." As for when to go...... "Brother Rong took a look at Chang'an," I want to see the arrangement of the eldest brother. My eldest brother is also going to study in Jiangnan these days, and I intend to follow my eldest brother to run around and get a long experience. If the eldest brother wants to go to Qingyang Academy to borrow, then I will take the opportunity to enroll. ”

Chang An laughed, patted Brother Rong'er on the shoulder and said, "I didn't say that I would go to Qingyang Academy to study, and then come back, I am a student of Yingtian Academy, and people may not accept me." ”

This is, of course, a joke.

After all, Qingyang Academy advocates teaching without class, whether it is in accepting students or teaching students, although some aspects are very strict, such as character and basic skills, but some aspects are not very concerned, such as origin, origin, family background, etc.

Therefore, if you get the Master's approval, you will be able to go to school. Not to mention that with Chang'an's ability, he can definitely make the first and second masters loosen their mouths and give him a letter of recommendation, just say that Xu Erlang, the governor, is still there.

Qingyang Academy is a holy place in the hearts of literati again, and the gentlemen of the academy are high and self-reliant, but who will not get along with those in power?

Xu Erlang said to Chang'an, "You can also consider going to Qingyang Academy to study for a period of time, and then you should study further." ”

Hearing this, Chang'an's face immediately became solemn, "I think so too." However, I still want to study in Jiangnan for a while now, and then go to the academy to study. But these are all ranked after the things of the family. I still want to give the second uncle a hand, and I want to learn some of the second uncle's skills, the second uncle can't drive me away at this time, I also want to see the fate of the family. ”

Brother Rong also nodded, "I'll stay and run errands for my father." ”

Xu Erlang nodded indispensably, "That's fine." As he spoke, he tapped on the table and said, "In this case, Chang'an submits three essays and essays every ten years. As for Brother Rong, his studies are Chang'an, you look at the arrangement. ”

Chang'an: "......"

Brother Rong: "......"

Changqi: "......"

Changqi bit her fingers silently, feeling that her father was much more cruel than her mother. The eldest brother is all lifted, and he still has to write so many strategies and essays every ten years. The third brother is even more miserable, it fell directly into the hands of the eldest brother, the eldest brother is irritable in his homework, and he must not abuse the third brother to vent his anger?

It's too miserable, isn't it?

Changqi silently shrunk her small shoulders, trying to reduce her presence.

She misses her two fourth brothers, five brothers and two sisters so much now. It's good not to be in front of my father, I don't even have to write homework, and I can do whatever I want, when will my father and mother let her out?

From today onwards, Changqi will no longer feel that going to study with Master An Lan is torture. Compared with Master An Lan's gentle temperament, the eldest brother can't write a strategy, grabbing his hair and assigning homework to the third brother in annoyance, which is really terrifying.

I've been worried for a long time that if I'm not careful, I'll fall into the hands of my eldest brother, so I've been so good these days.

Just when Changqi was busy with her schoolwork, Jin Niang was busy cleaning up the house, and Chang'an and Brother Rong were anxiously writing articles while running errands for Xu Erlang, Tongzhou Mansion, which had been quiet for a few days, made a fuss.

First of all, some clansmen from special side branches of the family jumped out and entangled a large number of clansmen to besiege the yamen, asking the yamen to give an explanation for the detention of the family members.

Some people openly beat the drum and complained about the injustice, accusing the governor Xu Erlang of abusing his power for personal gain, and in the absence of conclusive evidence, he committed a crime against the family.

Then there is the governor of Xianliangjiang, who has been promoted to the Ministry of Rites in the capital to serve as Shangshu - Sheng Lintang, who is also a son of a Tongzhou family, specially came to "greet" Xu Erlang.

This Sheng Lintang Sheng Shangshu has never looked at Xu Erlang before. Even if he knew that Xu Shiheng was his successor, he would succeed him as the governor of Liangjiang in order to make a move against the family. But he never felt that Xu Shiheng had the ability to overturn the behemoth of the family.

The family is not a family with one surname, but a family of dozens of people. The Maison has been operating in its birthplace for tens or hundreds of years, and it is as deeply rooted and intertwined as a towering tree. If you want to move the family, you will have to move the whole body, and the consequences are not something that Xu Shiheng, who has an unstable foundation, can bear.

And wait for him to gain a foothold in Jiangnan...... Oh, let's not say that the family will never give him that chance, even if he is really lucky to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, they have more ways to transfer him to the capital before he makes a big move, so that all his plans will be in vain.

Sheng Lintang has the arrogance and arrogance of the son of the family, and it is also this arrogance that makes him disdain Xu Erlang, who was born in a poor and remote place, and was a martial artist earlier, in vain trying to make a name for himself in the military.

But who knows, because of his momentary contempt and arrogance, Xu Yi set off a huge wave in the south of the Yangtze River.

Sheng Lintang received a secret letter from the secret guard, and was surprised that Xu Yi was able to escape many interceptions and get to Tongzhou safely; He was also angry that Xu Yi ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to directly imprison all the five major families in prison.

It's hard to get in and out of prison. Not to mention walking around the prison, even if he comes out unharmed, the glory of the family will be damaged.

Xu Yi is stepping on the head of the family to establish his authority, this is not to take him as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

Tongzhou is his reliance, and the son of the family is the capital of Sheng Lintang who can lean over and look at people. Therefore, if anyone moves this capital, he is his enemy, and he will let whoever die well.

Sheng Lintang is arrogant by nature and discriminates against martial artists, so he is too lazy to lure Xu Erlang, but he directly coerces and coerces him.

And what Sheng Lintang can persecute Xu Erlang is naturally the safety of Xu's father and Xu's mother, and Changping's career. He still wants to move Qing'er, but although Lin Jinqing is currently only a small editor of the Hanlin Academy, his father-in-law's family is really not easy to mess with.

Master Ke is the same as him in the six books. But he had just been promoted to the capital, and he was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, which had the least sense of existence, but Master Ke was in charge of the Criminal Department, one of the three divisions.

and his identity as a son of a family, which naturally dislikes His Majesty. Lord Ke is a close minister of the Son of Heaven and a confidant of the emperor. It was even more mentioned that the Ke family had been operating in the capital for hundreds of years, and their base camp was in Kyoto. His means and power can make him a soil emperor in Tongzhou, but after entering the capital, he looks beautiful, but in fact, the road is more difficult than before.

is also because of this, Sheng Lintang can only use the lives of Xu's father, Xu's mother and Changping to pinch Xu Erlang.

When Xu Erlang saw the letter, he smiled directly. Jin Niang also laughed, she laughed angrily, she only felt that the shamelessness of this official had reached such a point, which was also an eye-opener for her. And this kind of person, he is actually in charge of one of the six rites.

The word "rites" is regarded as rites for sacrifices, tributes, feasts, and etiquette, and the etiquette and character of officials are also regarded as rites.

As far as Sheng Lintang does this, as far as his virtue and ethics are concerned, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is he worthy?

Jin Niang smiled angrily, "Fortunately, before you left Beijing, you entrusted your father and mother and Changping to take care of them." Otherwise, if it was really Daddy and Mother and they fell into the hands of Sheng Lintang, it would be really disgusting. ”

Xu Erlang's time in the capital was not in vain, he made calculations about what might happen after going down to the south of the Yangtze River, and he also took precautions.

Not to mention how Changping stayed in the hussar camp, Changping had Xu Erlang's people around him, and there were also Xu Erlang's people in the hussar camp. Xu Erlang explained that Changping should not leave the palace before the matter in Jiangnan is undecided - he is His Majesty's personal guard, as long as he wants to be on duty, he will always be worthwhile. With Yun Zhaowu and Wei Yunping taking care of them, nothing will happen to Changping.

As for Xu's father and Xu's mother, there are two stand-ins left in Xu's mansion now. The real person was sent elsewhere by Xu Erlang a long time ago.

Sheng Lintang wants to move the people of Xu Mansion, let him move!

Although they had taken precautions for a long time, Sheng Lintang's move was really disgusting. Xu Erlang didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly accelerated the investigation of the family.

So, for another two days, the people of Tongzhou were "opposed".

They came from Tongzhou separately and personally reported the family's viciousness towards them.

There are those who have been deprived of their fields, there are daughters who have been forcibly taken away and only have a female corpse, and there are mines found near their homes, and the family has killed them in order to keep the secret. There are even those who were calculated by the servants of the family, owed a huge amount of usury, and ruined their families.

The tragedies in the world, all kinds of complexities, are too many to count.

The officials of the Tongzhou Yamen couldn't help but turn pale and shrink when they listened to the bells and drums beating outside.

These people who came to sue have real evidence, and the family can't deny it if they want to.

The family is the main culprit of the people, but they, the people in the yamen, are the accomplices of the family.

It was they who helped the family suppress the people and left them with no way to appeal.

Originally, this door was blocked, and they had a troubled conscience, and their lives and wealth were there.

But now that the door to speak freely is open, what awaits the family is ruined and ruined, what will be waiting for them?
