Chapter 0005 - Raiding the House
Late one night, He Jinsheng presided over a meeting of all the guards to discuss the next action plan, among which the guards named Han Lei recommended the Confucian Academy, and the meeting gave full play to the essence of the imperial democratic conference.
Confucianism and Taoism, since the first year of the previous dynasty, founded by the ancestors of the Xu family, although the main institute is remote but famous, after two generations of hard work and operation, until the Xuanyuan Empire, it has become the leading institution of the Confucian branch of the empire, and has established the first prominent position of Confucianism and Taoism in the empire. Since then, the Confucian Academy has opened 37 branches from the south to the north, with outlets throughout the major cities of the empire.
In the end, the guards who participated in the meeting reached a consensus and opinion: since its establishment, the Confucian Taoist Academy has experienced the change of two dynasties and many years of war, but it is still standing, and the speed of development has never stopped.
What's more, over the years, the Confucian and Taoist Institute has been the first object of the revolution by donating or collecting a lot of antique calligraphy, paintings, and classical books. Of course, if we can investigate and deal with a shocking case of betraying the country for glory and colluding with internal and external parties, it will be the icing on the cake!
What's more important is that Dean Xu of the Confucianism and Taoism Academy is a literary and Taoist figure in Xiangfu City, and he is extremely representative of the Wendao sequence, and defeating him is equivalent to destroying half of Xiangfu's Wendao sequence. Whether the martial arts revolution in Xiangfu City will achieve the final victory is a battle here.
After all, the Confucianism and Taoism Academy was founded by the famous Wendao sage, and there are many loyal martial arts masters behind the scenes.
Early the next morning, He Jinsheng went to the martial arts branch of the academy, found the leaders of the academy and asked for the support and assistance of the martial arts masters in the branch, obtained the approval of the leaders of the branch, and sent nearly ten martial arts masters of the branch to accompany him to escort the revolution.
Because of the secret protection of the martial arts masters of the branch, everyone had no worries, and everyone had a straight waist, He Jinsheng walked out of the gate of the academy with the guards, and the destination was directed to the Confucian Academy, and soon came to the gate of the headquarters of the Confucian Academy located in the northwest corner of the city.
He Jinsheng gave an order, and the well-trained guards began to give full play to the "three axes" program that had been summed up since the "protracted struggle."
First axe: burn.
The guards rushed into the gate of the Confucian Academy, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find precious calligraphy and paintings, books and periodicals, ornaments, collections, classical calligraphy and paintings, and everything that was related to the 'old', even the classical robe worn by Dean Xu, and was pulled down by the three guards.
What I admire is that the speed and efficiency of the guards raiding the house, it is really a cowhide that is not blown, the train is not pushed, Mount Tai is not piled up, even those very secret hidden compartments and secret rooms have been found and cracked by them in a short time.
In less than half an hour, with the strength of more than 30 people, all the 'four old' combustible materials of the entire Confucianism and Taoism Institute were moved to the open space at the entrance of the college.
However, in the eyes of these crazy guards, they were not even as good as garbage, and their fate was immediately decided, and the guards carried a full load of fuel, sprinkled it on them, and then took out the fire fold and lit the fuel, and for a time a raging fire rose from the ground, and the sky-high fire shone on the hideous and smug faces of the guards around them.
Dean Xu was heartbroken, kneeling beside the fire with a "bang", and then wept bitterly, several generations of hard work, painstaking efforts to create the Confucian and Taoist Academy, will be completely eliminated from the world in an instant, treasured in the courtyard of the famous calligraphy and painting, Confucianism and Taoism rare books and the world's swan song and other masterpieces, now only fell to the word "four old", in the blink of an eye by these yellow-mouthed children burned down.
Second axe: Smash.
All porcelain, jars, classical furniture, etc., the guards all picked up the tools around them and smashed them, crackling and not "lively", they smashed all the things that could be smashed in the academy, even if they were not satisfied, several guards rushed out of the door, directly set up Dean Xu, who was sitting on the ground, to the study, and ordered him to write a big character 'sweep away all Confucianism and Taoism, martial arts is king', and pasted it on the door of the academy, only to carry him out of the door, and left him in the open space, ignoring him.
Dean Xu sat slumped on the ground and said those words in a heartbroken heart, which still makes He Jinsheng remember it vividly: "The years have passed, the wind and rain have been all kinds of love, and life has been ups and downs. Life and death, suffering and happiness, freedom and unfreedom, people are obsessed and helpless, intriguing to explore and difficult to decisively, the collision between heaven and earth entangles countless wonders and sorrows, condensing the precipitation and loss that individuals cannot resist! You brutes, even if my Xu family is completely destroyed, can be rebuilt from the overgrown ruins, but the millions of Confucian and Taoist books that my ancestors and saints have painstakingly founded, and who have been painstakingly collected for hundreds of years, are now destroyed in my hands and cannot be recovered, and have since disappeared in this world and become invisible, this is my great sin, and it is also the great sin of you yellow-mouthed children! I really hate it now, if I had ruthlessly purchased these hundreds of thousands of copies and distributed them all over the country, wouldn't this catastrophe have been avoided! Sinners of the ages of nations and empires!"
In fact, when He Jinsheng heard these words, he was very moved in his heart, and he really couldn't bear it in his heart, but the arrow was already on the string, so he had to send it, and he just sighed quietly.
The third axe: bucket.
Burning and burning, smashing and smashing, the criticism meeting immediately kicked off, and the onlookers were enthusiastically involved, including many of them who took advantage of the fire to rob, but it did not affect the frenzy of the scene, and the frenzied scene still shocked He Jinsheng.
The guards took out the 'Confucian and Taoist heresy hats' that had been prepared long ago, and buckled them Dean Xu's head, and the two dragged him up to the improvised high platform, one of the guards raised his foot and kicked Dean Xu's leg from behind, and he was immediately kicked to his knees.
I don't know where the guards found a hemp rope, roughly strangled it from the back of his neck, and then went around from under his arm, quickly wrapped it around his arm a few times, and then crossed the rope head, pressed his knees against his back, and tied the rope violently, Dean Xu's arms were tightly tied behind his back, and then He Jinsheng walked up to the middle of the high platform under the envious gaze of everyone, and began to preside over the criticism meeting, announcing that Dean Xu's crime was' Confucianism and heresy brainwashed in a vain attempt to shake the foundation of the imperial martial arts', and the criticism and fighting conference was launched vigorously under this trumped-up charge.
He Jinsheng sighed lightly, it turned out that his bright eyes had long been dimmed, and at this moment he was full of tears of remorse, and it could be seen that he was suffering from pain deep in his heart. Forgetting is sometimes a relaxing thing, as long as you don't look, don't think, don't regain your memories, it seems to forget, once you hook the heartstrings of the old past, it will be so hard to remember, just like the present.
Seeing He Jinsheng so uncomfortable, he had already faded the curiosity in his heart, He Shang remained silent very rationally, just silently grabbed his wrinkled right hand, gently held it in the palm of his hand, and quietly accompanied him, silently comforting his tormented heart.
Time passed slowly in such a silent environment, and the two of them sat there quietly, no one spoke again, even He Yuwen, who walked to the door of the room, gently retreated his feet and quietly left this place.
After a while, He Jinsheng's mood gradually calmed down, and he said weakly: "Shang'er, grandpa is a sinner of the empire and even the entire nation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to pay it off in this life!"
He Shang was relieved: "Grandpa, this is the general trend of that era, even if you don't participate, there will be thousands of people to do it, so you don't have to blame yourself too much, not to mention that over the years, the poor people in the city have often received charity relief from your organization, and you will be honored behind your back, which is also your best salvation for yourself!"
He Jinsheng touched his head and said with relief: "Shang'er has grown up, he will comfort his grandfather!"
He Shang chuckled lightly and continued: "Grandpa, the past is over, you don't have to blame yourself! This topic is over, I don't want you to be sad again!"
Although his curiosity has increased greatly, and he strongly hopes to find out what is going on, he has always been very filial, and seeing He Jinsheng so worried, he can only stop in moderation, and there is no need for him to continue to poke the scar in the depths of his heart.
He Jinchang sighed and sighed: "If you can, how can Grandpa be willing to recall this unbearable experience, but I have to continue today, because these things just talked about are actually very closely related to you!"
The corners of He Shang's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath of cold air, and wondered: "Grandpa, that happened more than sixty years ago, why is it related to me again?"
He Jinsheng groaned slightly, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Since you died suddenly when you were drunk, and then reborn after death, I am completely sure that these things have a close relationship with you! Let's put it this way, if this experience of grandpa is the cause, then what happened to you is the effect!"
