Chapter 187: The Three Elders
As one of the three elders of the Clerk's Pavilion, Liu Chuanfeng, whose identity is second only to Tang Shanbo, has to decide all the big and small affairs of the Clerk's Pavilion.
After all, Tang Shanbo, the head of the elders in the Wuling County Clerk's Pavilion, never focused on the articles of these sages, obsessed with wine, and threw everything on his head.
Liu Chuanfeng likes to read, and can do it for days and nights without closing his eyes, but he also doesn't like others to disturb him when he is reading, especially when he sees Xingtou.
If Lin Yu was here, he would definitely be surprised that the identity of the Scholar Pavilion was an extraordinary elder, and the book he read was actually the 'Liang Zhu' he wrote.
"But the son-in-law of the county guard Fang Rusong, the son-in-law who bears the grace of His Majesty?"
Liu Chuanfeng put down the book and his eyes fell on the old man with an angry and corrupt face.
The three elders of the Wenge Pavilion, the great elder Tang Shanbo, has a distinguished identity, and served in the East Palace more than ten years ago as the teacher of the crown prince of Hongwen Tianzi.
It's a pity that the official fortune is not constant, the crown prince was lost in the palace when he was a few years old, Hongwen Tianzi was furious, and held everyone in the East Palace accountable, and all the eunuchs and palace maids were distributed.
And Hongwen Tianzi also said that if the prince returns to the dynasty, Tang Shanbo will be reinstated.
The second elder Liu Chuanfeng, once one of the hundred officials of the court, his reputation and prestige are not as good as Tangshan Bo, but he is also a Wendao monk from the Tianxia Academy, and he served in the Great Xia court after going down the mountain.
As for the three elders Song Lishu, his identity is more special, when he was young, because he was a prodigy with the ability to never forget, he was summoned by His Majesty the former emperor Hongzhi, but unfortunately his ranking in the examination was not good when he grew up, and he became a small official.
It wasn't until after Hongwen Tianzi ascended the throne that he accidentally saw the records of the former emperor and knew that there was a prodigy Song Lishu in Taiwu Province who had been summoned by the emperor.
So a holy decree was issued, and Song Lishu served as the master of the Wuling County Clerk's Pavilion, which was regarded as half of the Son of Heaven's domestic slave.
The Clerk's Pavilion is the Son of Heaven, and the owner of the Clerk's Pavilion is naturally a house slave.
It's just that Song Lishu has been in the limelight for a few years, and Tang Shanbo, the prince's teacher who came from the airborne, inexplicably became the great elder of the Scholar Pavilion and replaced him as the pavilion master.
Not long after, another old minister who returned to his hometown was parachuted in, and he became the second elder inexplicably.
In the end, he, the pavilion master, was in third place, and he had a lot of resentment in his heart.
Over the years when he was the master of the Clerk's Pavilion, although his life was a little withered, and he was accompanied by these smelly books all day long, the Clerk's Pavilion Guard and the major booksellers, the silver and beauties sent every month, made his small life quite nourishing.
And now, because of Lin Yu and Fang Rusong's foolishness, the Wuling bookseller is about to fall, and he may even be involved, so he spares no effort to sue in front of Liu Chuanfeng, the second elder of the Clerk's Pavilion.
Attempt the last wave of turnarounds.
In fact, although the bookseller Yang Zuokang had money dealings with the county guard Zheng Hong, it was obviously not enough to move Zheng Hong across the county.
And doing the work in the middle, it is naturally him Song Lishu is undoubted, but unfortunately Lin Yu is not soft and hard, and even the county guard Zheng Hong was arrested and imprisoned, and he has the courage to go to heaven.
"That's right, it's Fang Rusong's son-in-law, this person led hundreds of black-armored troops to break into the bookseller's mansion without any evidence, making a fuss without leaving chickens and dogs, boss, Fang Jun's guards are abusive, don't you care about this?"
Song Lishu looked heartbroken, like a mourner.
Liu Chuanfeng frowned and said, "Lin Yu has gone too far in this matter, but Elder Song, do you know what crime Lin Yu entered the mansion on?"
"This ......"
Song Lishu was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "It is said that the bookseller colluded with the Clerk's Pavilion to protect the guard, and pirated the poems and articles in the Pavilion......"
After finishing speaking, Song Lishu hurriedly added: "However, this is pure absurdity, in recent years, the major booksellers have sent books from all over the world, and they have all paid without asking for anything in return, enriching the Clerk's Pavilion, and even His Majesty has rewarded him, and the former governor has personally given the bookseller as a merchant of great good people, how can he do anything to pirate the print?"
Liu Chuanfeng's fingers tapped lightly on the ground, and the corners of his mouth hooked a subtle arc, the Book Pavilion had indeed not lost precious books over the years, and had indeed received some excellent works from major booksellers.
For example, poems, songs, articles.
But Liu Chuanfeng has been in the officialdom of Beijing for so many years, and he is a high-ranking monk of Wendao, how can his means be poor.
Obviously, this Song Lishu has a ghost in his heart.
"Lin Yu, this Elder Ben has heard of it, and he once asked Lord Cao Zi to go up to the heavens, save the Fang family, and sanction the former governor Du Chengyuan, which shows that he should not be reckless in his affairs......"
Liu Chuanfeng stared at Song Lishu with a smile, and said, "Elder Ben thinks that Lin Yu must have the evidence, and according to the Great Xia Decree, the crime of stealing the poems and articles of the Book Pavilion is a murder, this must be clear to Elder Song, right?"
A slight sweat oozed from Song Lishu's forehead, and he had an intuition that Liu Chuanfeng seemed to be able to see through him.
"Elder Ben has never forgotten it, how can he not be clear? But when Elder Ben inspected the Book Pavilion every day, he did not find that any poems and articles were missing.
"Hehe, this shows that your Song Lishu is suspected of covering up. ”
At this moment, the drunken Great Elder Tang Shanbo ascended to the top floor of the Clerk's Pavilion, and as soon as he ascended, he stared at Song Lishu with a drunken smile.
Song Lishu was very uncomfortable being stared at, stood up and arched his hand: "Great Elder, this wine is something that hurts the body, or is it better to get less ......?"
"Yes, this wine really hurts the body, if you can drink that kid's wine again, even if you live three or five years less, it's not a pity......" Tang Shanbo walked drunk, his body swaying left and right.
Thanks to the strong foundation of the monk Wendao, even if his body is half tilted, he is still like a tumbler.
"Uncle Shan, you better go back and rest, Elder Song is telling me, then Lin Yu checked the bookseller and arrested people indiscriminately, and even Zheng Hong, the county guard of Mayang County, was arrested, and he was letting me take action. Liu Chuanfeng looked at Tang Shanbo with a wry smile.
Uncle Tangshan is a drunkard, Liu Chuanfeng has heard of it in Beijing, and he once did a foolish thing about drinking spirits with His Royal Highness the three-year-old prince.
"Lin Yu, he has checked the booksellers, well, although Elder Ben doesn't care about worldly things, it doesn't mean that Elder Ben doesn't know what some people are doing secretly......
Tang Shanbo was full of excitement, and most of the alcohol went without warning, I don't know if he was really drunk or fake drunk just now.
He looked at Liu Chuanfeng and Song Lishu, and said, "Follow me to the Wuling Yamen Thousand Households!"
