"Let it go, let it go, let it go......"

In the midst of the indignant crowd, the scribe came in with his head bowed with a stack of papers.

Yao Xiaogu bumped into him in front of him, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the object he was holding in his hand, so he waved his hand at everyone and shouted, "This person let him in!" This person is of great use! ”

The scribe entered the hall, stepped into the study, made a big salute to the prefect of Suzhou, and held the document up.

The inspection saw that the prefect's face was happy, and while thinking in his heart, he put away the sword.

"It is an admonition submitted by Kunshan and other counties, and I sincerely advise the subordinates of the government to show mercy and give the academy a chance of life."

The inspection looked very disappointed and silent.

The prefect closed the book and smiled with everyone: "He, Xia Yuanlong, is also sensible, and specially asked someone to save us face." Ma Shuban, let you disperse the people, and ask the leader to call the dean of the academy to come to the government for discussion. ”

"Yes."

Ma Shuban took the paperwork, walked out of the yamen, and saw that Yao Xiaogu and others were still making trouble, so he shouted to stop, and said with a letter: "People, the people of Futai don't know much about this matter, but after reading the letters from officials in many places, I know that it was too hasty!" Li Pheasant Zhong should be dealt with again! ”

"Is the academy still sealed?" Someone asked worriedly.

"The previous withdrawal of troops is over; Although it collided with the lobby today, it can make the government correct it, and the merits and demerits will be offset. If you are undecided, you can ask the new dean to come out for an interview. ”

Yao Xiaogu was relieved, so the people in the First Academy held down their positions and went back to find Xia Yuanlong in person.

"Mr. Xia, I'm glad to meet, I'm glad to meet." The prefect sat across from him.

"Fortunately," Xia Yuanlong said, "Lord Futai has already investigated this matter, and begged to reconcile with the academy and forgive the academy from its crimes, after all, it was a good thing done by Li Pheasant, and no one in the academy seemed to be involved." ”

The prefect smiled politely: "Yes, it's okay for others in your academy. However, Li Pheasant Zhong has just been reinstated, and it is easier to give orders in a short time, so he told you to know it. ”

Xia Yuanlong saw the inspector nodding beside him, and his heart suddenly realized, and he hurriedly said: "If the official agrees, the people may be restless." I originally came with the intention of protecting the college, but I didn't care too much about Dean Li; However, the people of the city had been deceived by him, and they were furious, which was really difficult to control, and it was inevitable that the college would be harmed. If you don't have to go through any more twists and turns, won't your prestige be even more damaged? If you punish Li Pheasant Zhong today, not only will the people support each other to celebrate, but also your reputation will be established, why not? ”

After hearing this, the prefect shook his head: "Dean Xia is worthy of Nanjing's business, and he should be reasonable." ”

The inspector couldn't help but step forward and muttered a few words in his ear, but the prefect shook his head vigorously and whispered to him to retreat.

"Someone came, took off Li Pheasant's official uniform, and posted a notice to go out: The academy will not be closed from now on, and Li Pheasant will be dealt with according to the original sin."

Xia Yuanlong was sent all the way out of the court with that hateful look by the inspector, and he was satisfied at this time and exhaled; When I looked back, there was no one to follow.

"Congratulations to Dean Xia on his return!"

Zhu Che and his colleagues lined up in the front hall, came up together, and went to toast Xia Yuanlong with a smile, "It's not easy to be the deputy alliance leader!" "Rest well, deputy alliance leader! Xia Yuanlong responded one by one and drank a few glasses of wine in their hands.

"You need not exaggerate the merits of your subordinates," he said, feeling that he was not strong enough to drink, and pushed away the wine cups of the people. ”

Everyone secretly looked at each other, but Zhu Che and Song Zhang didn't know, Yao Xiao didn't see it in ancient costumes, and helped him into the house together.

Yao Xiaogu's eyes flew around, and he caught a glimpse of a scholar in the back grabbing the placket in front of him, and when he turned his head in front, this scholar's eyes slipped straight and his eyebrows jumped a few times.

"Xia Vice League, Nanjing still needs you to work, and it is the best policy to leave Suzhou early." The man dared to suggest to Xia Yuanlong.

Zhu and Song stopped abruptly, glaring angrily, speechless.

Xia Yuanlong slowly tilted his ears and asked after a while, "What?" ”

The man was weak and retreated half a step, but the people behind him pushed him back.

"I have no other intentions, but it is quite heart-wrenching to simply toil, and I advise you not to stay."

Xia Yuanlong relied on the strength of the wine and patted his chest vigorously: "I have been conscientious all my life, hard work, and never dared to mention the word 'labor', you are too exalted to me......"

Song Zhang's face turned white, and he pointed at the scholar and scolded: "You, what do you mean!" Dean Xia is such a person, don't all the princes want to drive him away? ”

"This man's intentions are vicious, and it is unreasonable...... Of course, we unanimously support Dean Xia! Song Zhang's words really forced many people to express their positions.

Xia Yuanlong didn't expect things to come to this point, and remorse began to surge. This first created a difficult decision: he knew that if he let this person go, he would undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the reform of the college if he let this person go, and if he didn't talk about it in the future; If he is driven out of the academy, he will be too ruthless and will have a reputation as authoritarian.

For the time being, he chose not to say no.

Zhu Che then said angrily: "I see that when you recommended yourself to post the notice before, you were a good young man, why did you learn the ability of the official master to fight?" ”

The man was speechless from criticism, and pitifully froze in place, his legs nailed there, waiting for the dean's decision.

"The academy must work together," Xia Yuanlong's eyes suddenly sharpened, "As the dean, I am the leader." Whoever wants to question and have opinions can speak freely; However, it is absolutely forbidden to play some conspiracy behind the scenes, and engage in this set of fighting for power and profit. You'd better go, those who are removed from the roster. ”

The man trembled and fell to his knees in the cold wind, and Xia Yuanlong left.

"He's still kneeling, Dean Xia." Song Zhang opened the window, and his words were full of unbearable.

"Tell someone to take him out, it's cold." Xia Yuanlong lit the candle.

"Hey," Zhu Che sighed, "I thought it would be enough to talk about it, who wants you to ......"

"What do you hear them call me? It's not the 'dean', it's the 'deputy alliance leader'. ”

"This has nothing to do with this matter......"

"Irrelevant?" Xia Yuanlong raised his head and saw that Yao Xiaogu's face had changed color, "Mr. Yao, you say." ”

"The man was instigated by others to speak of it." Yao Xiaogu looked out the window, and the scholar had already shivered a few times.

"That's right, they are waiting for me to get out of the league as soon as possible, and then elect a local to be the dean." Xia Yuanlong sneered, "They see that I am about to solve the shortcomings here, which hinders their leisure, and they hate me, very much." ”

"But if you want to force me to leave, no way. When I leave, I will see an iron academy, a place where lightning cannot move and an axe cannot be broken. Xia Yuanlong's eyes were resolutely rounded.

These three people understood that if Xia Yuanlong wanted to do something, except for himself, I am afraid that there would be nothing to stop him.
