Chapter 35: Release from the Siege and Condemn the Guilty (3)
Zhu Che listed the contents of the box one by one in the hall, and everyone watched intently, first dumbfounded, and then they began to talk about each other.
Xia Yuanlong continued to mobilize everyone's emotions: "You see, how did he, Li Pheasant, collude with the government and seek a lot of money for personal gain? Not only did he fail the trust of the Lord of the Alliance, but he is also sorry for your sincerity! Not to mention that he arbitrarily ruled the academy in the academy and insisted on going his own way, bringing the academy to such a predicament...... All of these can be said to be villains! ”
Zhu Che was still wondering what he wanted to make a name for himself, so Xia Yuanlong waved his hands vigorously: "Now that he is in prison, the academy will not recognize this dean!" At the time of the crisis, you should decide to abolish the establishment, elect the leader, and the victory or defeat of the academy is in the eyes of the public! ”
His words were sonorous and powerful, like a rising wave, and the whole lecture hall was moved by an impassioned atmosphere.
"I propose that Mr. Xia be the temporary dean to deal with major matters." Zhu Che proposed first.
"We're the same," a couple of young Confucian scholars stepped forward, "and we need a dean who can stand up to the sky!" ”
"Please Vice Xia as the dean!" Everyone in the audience shouted in unison with excitement.
Xia Yuanlong couldn't sit still, he stood up straight, and owed to everyone: "The matter has come to this, and I don't dare to shirk the blame, Yuanlong is willing to be a big responsibility!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the applause was endless, and it did not stop until it filled every corner of the hall. Even the inspector heard it outside the door, and he frowned, "What's going on inside?" ”
A soldier lay in wait at the door for a while, then turned around and said, "Elect the Si Ye from Nanjing to be the new dean." ”
"Strange thing...... "Inspector Inspector paced in front of the door, "They want to save Li Pheasant, why are they in a hurry to elect a new dean?" ”
"Anything to blame?" I don't know where such a voice came from.
The inspection suddenly stopped, and looked at the puzzled faces of the officers and soldiers: "One more team of people is sent to tightly control the walls on all sides, and no one can be allowed to leak under our noses!" ”
"Take care of the general business first." Xia Yuanlong looked at Zhu Che, "I want your account books, maps, and rosters here, as well as as the letters that have been communicated with the government recently, as well as as all the letters that have been communicated with the government recently." ”
Zhu Che obeyed the order and walked out of the lecture hall.
"Then it's time for an emergency." Xia Yuanlong looked at the Confucians, "There are all difficulties in this matter, I don't know who can volunteer to help me succeed?" ”
"I'm willing to do the same thing!" More than a dozen Confucians left the table and got up, all of them young and strong, and they were very angry.
"Great!" Xia Yuanlong patted his knee and exclaimed.
"I am going to send a few of you to post notices on the streets, alleys, and thoroughfares, spreading how the government is unreasonable, how lawless it is, and how the academy is talking to the people, so as to make the people sympathize with my academy, so as to stir up the foundation of the people."
When those people heard this, they clenched their fists: "It is not difficult for us to do such a small thing, and we will live up to the expectations of the dean." ”
Xia Yuanlong saw that although they had momentum, they couldn't help but be too stiff, and they were afraid of causing trouble, so he said: "Your ambition is really praiseworthy. I will go out with you and give you a ride. ”
The inspection saw that the two wooden doors were slowly opened, and he hurriedly called a few officers and soldiers, drew their swords, and blocked the door.
Xia Yuanlong walked out and was quite thoughtful when he saw the posture of the formation. He brushed his gun away with his fingers and bowed to the inspection alone.
"Your surname is Xiaba?" The inspection took a cold glance.
"Exactly, it's Xia Yuanlong down there."
"Oh, Mr. Xia looking for me?" The inspector craned his neck and was very arrogant.
"I want to go out for a walk with them." He sweated a few drops.
"They? How many Confucian students?! Seeing that Zhu Che was not present, the inspection became extremely harsh.
"How?" Naturally, those young people couldn't stand this kind of treatment and shouted loudly.
The officers and soldiers were all wide-eyed, and Yuan Long hurriedly separated them all, and said to the inspector: "Lord Inspector, they are a little resistant, and it is not right; However, I have said before that I can be let out, please don't break my promise. ”
The inspector sneered: "Mr. Xia, I also said that the prefect has an order, and I have to obey." Unless the officials sent us back, there was nothing we could do. ”
"Is Mr. Zhu here?"
The inspector sank his face: "Then only Mr. Zhu can pass, others can't move!" ”
Xia Yuanlong was helpless, he shook his head angrily, pushed those young Confucian students and said, "Go back, go back......"
With the anger in their eyes, they flicked their sleeves and walked away quickly.
"Don't look at it," Xia Yuanlong put aside the account book on the table, "No matter what you do now, it won't work." ”
Zhu Che looked at Deputy Alliance Leader Xia with a strange gaze. It's only been a long time since I've been the dean, and it's wilted in an instant! He thought worriedly.
"That inspection is too cunning," Xia Yuanlong pointed out the door, "There can be thousands of arguments in less than half a day, and we can't refute it." ”
"This group of dogs, I'm going to teach you a lesson......"
Xia Yuanlong grabbed Zhu Che, who had already rolled up his sleeves: "Brother Zhu, they have military power, and we are unarmed, you should figure out this matter." From the beginning, you didn't care about the inspection, in fact, he was gradually murderous, and he was waiting for someone to hit the tip of the knife, don't be careless. ”
Zhu Che sighed, sitting in his chair depressed.
The rising tide receded. The crowd was like dormant insects and ants, with their heads bowed and silent. The more intense the sound of knives and guns outside, the more depressed the will here became, and it reached the end of the road.
There was a bleak light outside the door. It was not as they expected, but a few officers and soldiers brought them food with rice.
"The inspection said, most of you haven't had lunch, just eat some, and it will be sealed in a while, and no one will be polite to you!"
Zhu Che didn't plan to eat this meal, and planned to ignore it, but seeing Xia Yuanlong's listless appearance, he couldn't bear it after all, so he gave up his face to take the meal and came to his side.
"Eat, Dean Xia." Zhu Che handed over a pair of wooden chopsticks.
"Zhu Daru is willing to eat, I'm not in the mood." Xia Yuanlong turned his head and said.
Zhu Che put down his rice bowl and drank the officer and soldier: "You take the rice." ”
When the officers and soldiers came up, he asked again: "What time is it?" ”
The officer and soldier reluctantly took the bowl: "It's just time." ”
"When did Governor Song say the discussion will be over?" Xia Yuanlong pinched his nails impatiently.
"At this hour." Zhu Che saw that the gate was closed again, and the sound of officers and soldiers sharpening their knives sounded outside as usual.
"Got it." Xia Yuanlong sighed.
The sun is setting and the weather is getting colder. Xia Yuanlong stood up, walked to the table, and put on a dress for himself.
Halfway through it, the sharpening of the knife stopped abruptly, and his hand trembled.
"I'm going to kill ......"
Someone in the hall whispered.
Xia Yuanlong was very panicked, but he pretended to be calm and put on his clothes. He wanted to ask Zhu Che what was going on, but as soon as he took two steps, the sound of running outside became chaotic - it seemed that he was really about to start moving.
