Chapter 35: A Call for Help

In the Governor's Mansion of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, Zheng Michang, He Maocai and others all sat in the hall.

"This is the confession of the big bull!" Ma Ning bowed forward and handed out the confession.

"Thanks to Master Gao this time, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have gotten the confession so early!" Ma Ningyuan handed over the confession, and did not forget to compliment him.

"That's natural, Master Gao is the protΓ©gΓ© of Xiao Ge Lao!" Zheng Michang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Hu Zongxian took the confession, just glanced at it lightly, and then handed it to the others: "Take a look." ”

He Maocai took the lead in taking the confession, looked at the name of Lu Dongxing of the Egret Academy recorded above, patted his head, and suddenly said: "This Lu Dongxing, I know!" At the same time as me, we were both Jinshi in Jiajing for eight years. ”

"Oh, since it's your contemporary, what do you know about this person?" Hu Zongxian, who was sitting at the top, heard about it and became interested.

"Let me think about it, this Lu Dongxing seemed to resign because of something angry, what the hell is it..."He Maocai scratched his head, frowned tightly, and remembered for a long time.

There was silence in the hall, even the sound of falling needles could be heard, and everyone's attention was focused on He Maocai.

"Yes, I remembered! This Lu Dongxing seems to have been squeezed out by his colleagues because of reporting the corruption of his superiors, and he resigned in anger! At that time, this incident was quite a big trouble. He Maocai slapped his head suddenly, and the memories of the past kept flooding up.

"This Lu Dongxing seems to be a jealous and hateful person, but he alone can't make such a big move! Just now, there were incidents similar to Taoyuan Village in several counties under Zhejiang, where the villagers did not allow officers and soldiers to measure the land. Zheng Michang put down the teacup in his hand and said quietly.

"Do you mean that someone is making trouble behind the scenes, trying to make the land measurement of the government unable to proceed? And then make the policy of changing rice to mulberry abortive? ”

Gao Hanwen frowned when he heard this, for him, measuring the land in Zhejiang and preparing for changing rice to mulberry is the purpose of his trip to Zhejiang, and it is also the teacher's expectation for himself, he will never allow anyone to destroy this good thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

"Well, yes, those who read are not very restful either, they get together and lash out at state policy! It is really reprehensible to smear the national policy of changing rice to mulberry as the product of some high-ranking officials satisfying their selfish interests. Zheng Michang said viciously.

"Do you still need to guess? It must be those clear streams who are doing ghosts. He Maocai interjected coldly, and then picked up the teacup.

"Teacher, long before I came, I had already sent officers and soldiers to the Egret Academy to get people." Ma Ningyuan knelt on the ground, and there was no emotion in his tone.

"What? That Egret Academy is deeply involved, I'm afraid it's not a wise move! When He Mao heard this, the tea in his mouth spurted out and he was surprised.

"Alas, if you catch it, you can catch it! Wait for me to write a letter to Yan Ge Lao and them to confirm the situation. When Hu Zongxian heard Ma Ningyuan's words, he sighed helplessly.

"You all go down, and no one should act rashly until there is news from me."

Immediately afterwards, Hu Zongxian's eyes swept over the people present and ordered.

"Yes." Then they were commanded and departed.

……

In Tan Lun's room, he was locking himself in the study at the moment, no one was seen, and he was pacing anxiously in the room, now that the Yan Party had taken action and began to actively suppress those who opposed the policy of changing rice to mulberry, and he saw those upright people being harmed by traitors but could not do anything, which made Tan Lun feel very irritable.

After thinking about it for a long time, Tan Lun finally sat down at the desk, spread out the letter paper, and wrote down: "Xu Ge Lao Qinqi, subordinate Tan Lun, what I saw in Zhejiang recently......"

On the other side of the Zhezhi Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian also sat in the study, recalling what had happened in the past few days, he couldn't help but sigh, and then spread out the pen and paper, and wrote: "Teacher, how are you doing recently?" In Xiahu Ruzhen, many things have happened in Zhejiang recently, and some people have incited villagers to resist changing rice to mulberry ......"

"Send this letter to Elder Yan (Xu)!"

After the letter was written, Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun called their subordinates almost at the same time to send the letter.

……

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"

"Dao Ke Dao, very Dao ......"

At this moment, in the Egret Academy, a loud reading sound sounded, some passers-by stopped here to feel the atmosphere, the beautiful scenery nearby plus the sound of children reading, a quiet and peaceful appearance.

"Drive, drive!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

Soon, however, the silence was broken by the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a large group of officials were hurrying on horseback, and wherever they went, some of the vendors who had not had time to dodge were given two lashes, and the stalls were overturned.

"Phew~"

Immediately afterward, the brigade officer stopped at the gate of the Egret Academy.

Seeing this, the little guy guarding the gate wanted to come forward and ask, but he was greeted by a hot horsewhip.

"Surround this place, and don't let anyone go!" The commander who led the team said in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The subordinates received the order, and soon the entire Egret Academy was surrounded by water, and the passers-by who had stopped here to feel the atmosphere had disappeared long before the officers and soldiers came.

'Bang bang bang! The leading prefect stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the Egret Academy.

"Who, didn't I say that? No one is allowed to disturb during the morning reading! What are you two doing to eat, and you will be fined half a month's money! The door was quickly opened, and out came a swearing steward.

"Who are you, dare to make trouble here, live ......" The steward forcibly held back the rest of the words, did not dare to act rashly, and then changed to a flattering smile.

For no other reason, when a bright sword is on the neck, no matter how bad the temper is, people will speak well.

"What is the matter with your officials coming to Egret Academy?" The butler asked cautiously.

"Is Lu Dongxing in there?" The official in charge looked him up and down before asking.

"My lord, my master is teaching in it, or you ......."

"Just be inside, take me inside."

The housekeeper only felt that the coolness in his neck disappeared, and then he touched his whole body, and when he saw that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you take us in?" The leading official frowned and urged.

"Yes, the little ones will take you in!"

After the housekeeper said that, he took care of himself and led the way in front, but he thought in his heart that he must let the controller of Bailu Academy, Jiajing's eight-year jinshi, jealous and hateful, and Dean Lu Dongxing Lu who is full of peach and plums seek justice for himself.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, everyone came to the place where Lu Dongxing taught.

It just so happened that Lu Dongxing was finishing his morning reading and walked out of the room, he looked at the official who appeared in the academy, couldn't help frowning, and said sharply: "Who let you in?" Get out! ”

When the housekeeper saw Lu Dongxing appear, he seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly ran to him to complain: "Dean Lu, it is they who have disrupted the early reading of the academy, you must not let them go!" ”

"Lu Dongxing, Dean Lu, right?"

"It's the old man, what's the matter with you?"

Lu Dongxing stroked his beard, his face full of disgust.

"Take him away!" The chief waved his hand and commanded.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers who followed behind them rushed forward to control it.

"You dare? The old man is a Jinshi in Jiajing for eight years, but if you are an official, you dare to talk to me like this! The old man will not let you go. ”

Lu Dongxing kept struggling, and the soldiers in charge of restraining him were also shocked by his words and didn't dare to make any more moves.

"Heh, what are you afraid of? If something happens, the prefect will bear it for us, take it for me! ”

"Yes!"
