"Oh, a group of troublesome scholars, hehe, what's the matter, the little marquis is here, is the drunkard not drinking?"

Xiao Chen always had a calm and gentle smile on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a kind of understanding in his eyes, but there was no sense of blame.

Qi Sijun looked at Xiao Chen with a smile, quietly probing Xiao Chen's reaction, it seemed that he could see a trace of the door from Xiao Chen's attitude, so he arched his hand and said with a smile: "It's a shame to say that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, but it's not ...... in the next place."

"Hey" he sighed, shook his head slightly, and said embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to welcome the Overseer in time, so I was determined to come to visit the Overseer when he entered the city, but before I left the mansion, I happened to hear the Overseer's thunderous methods......"

"Lord Xiao, you also know that our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has lived in Jiangdong for generations, and has always gotten along well with my father and fellow villagers, and when my father heard about this, he really couldn't bear to see this bloody matter, so he ...... Hehe, Lord Xiao, look at ......"

"Can you look at the face of our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion and spare these scholars for the time being today?"

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, since the Hou Mansion had already expressed his meaning to this part, then he naturally had no reason not to give away this favor.

And this little Hou Ye spoke directly and happily, and he didn't hide it too much, and directly took out the sincerity of the four words of Hou Fu's face I, what else could he be embarrassed about?

It's just some sour scholars, killing them is like stepping on a group of ants, not killing, just lifting your foot a little and letting it go, no matter how harmful.

"The little marquis is polite" Xiao Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a gentle smile, "Since it is the meaning of the Hou Mansion, then the governor immediately exempted them from the death penalty, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the sick old Hou Ye, as long as the old Hou Ye can be physically and mentally comfortable, then there is no Ben Du who feels inappropriate." ”

"It's just that the capital crime of offending the governor can be avoided, but this living crime of disrupting the Daotai Mansion is not good for the governor to be exempted."

"How about beating each of these people with twenty boards as an example?"

If the old marquis came in person today, then Xiao Chen would definitely sell a full face to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, but since the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion only sent a little marquis over, then it would only be half a face.

This is something that both parties know, so Xiao Chen is just indifferent, although it seems that he is asking Qi Sijun's opinion, but in fact he has no intention of asking.

Qi Sijun is obviously also a person with good feelings, as soon as Xiao Chen's words came out, he naturally understood Xiao Chen's meaning of neither being humble nor arrogant, and hurriedly smiled with his hands, "What Lord Xiao said is extremely true, making trouble in the official government, it should be punished." ”

Xiao Chen nodded, the two looked at each other and smiled, the wind and clouds converged, everything was silent.

When the scholars on the side heard this disposition, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Even, everyone can't help but feel a little happy and happy in their hearts.

After all, if they leave like this, it is really undignified to lose their literati demeanor. And suffering from a board is very different.

It's just twenty boards, what is this pain compared to his own reputation and bones?

"Gelding, you just hit it! We are not afraid of you! ”

Someone immediately shouted.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the other students also responded loudly, and the crowd was excited, each of them looked truly fearless, and the scholarly spirit was impressive.

When the onlookers saw this, they all gave a thumbs up to these scholars and praised one after another, "What a group of backbone pillars of the country!" ”

"Our Jiangdong talents are like this, and everyone's faces are bright!"

"Geldings run rampant, and sooner or later they will be punished!"

Listening to these slanders, Xiao Chen did not show any anger on his face, but a touch of forgiveness and playfulness, and casually ordered Wei Zhongxian, "Pull these scholars down, you take our people to execute them personally, twenty big boards, not one is missing." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Zhongxian meaningfully.

Wei Zhongxian immediately understood, hurriedly bowed down, and replied obediently: "Don't worry, the overseer, his subordinates will act impartially, no more, no more, no less, so that they will be punished as they deserve." ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Xiao Chen smiled, and didn't take it to heart when he told him to go on.

The scholars were soon dragged to the backyard, where the majestic yamen main hall was blocked, and the people in the front yard could not see the situation in the backyard.

This is all within the rules, after all, beating people to see blood, and in front of these nobles with titles in the Hou Mansion, seeing blood is very disrespectful to them, Xiao Chen has done this matter properly, and no one can find fault with it from top to bottom.

Qi Sijun couldn't help but appreciate Xiao Chen more and more, and when he spoke, he couldn't hide the praise in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lord Xiao has clear rewards and punishments, which shows that he is familiar with my Dachu law, and he is worthy of being a person valued by His Majesty." ”

"If you have the opportunity to enter Beijing, you must learn more from Lord Xiao."

"The little marquis is polite" Xiao Chen also smiled kindly, and replied with a decent word, "I have long heard that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has been loyal and martyred for a hundred years, and it is full of heroes, and it is really true when I see it today." ”

"If he is free in the future, the governor will personally visit the door and ask the old and little marquis for advice."

Polite words, just talk about it, Xiao Chen knows that this Zhongyi Marquis Mansion seems to have the intention of wooing him, but from today when Qi Sijun came alone, it can also be seen that they are still holding the style of the noble family, and they disdain the eunuchs in their hearts.

Xiao Chen was sincere on his face, but he sneered in his heart.

I thought that since the founding of the country, the foundation of your Zhongyi Marquis Mansion has declined for four generations, and now the two sons of this generation of Zhongyi Marquis can no longer bear too much ancestral shadow.

The eldest son became the governor of Binzhou through the imperial examination, but he was just a four-grade border pass.

And the youngest son Qi Sijun in front of him, now his real identity is just a showman, and he only hopes that he will be able to ascend to the imperial court next year.

"The Houmen tree is bigger than the foundation, but it is also trapped in the foundation." Xiao Chen secretly said in his heart, and continued to greet Qi Sijun very interestingly.

After a while, there was the sound of scholars being scolded by the cane in the backyard, as well as the heroic words of blood and ambition.

"Dog thief, you can beat us today, and you can't destroy our hearts!"

"As long as I live for one day, I must seek justice for the brothers of Jingnan Academy!"

"Heaven is clear, I am willing to sacrifice the right way with my blood!"

This lasted for about half a pillar of incense, and the shouts of these scholars became weaker and weaker, and it seemed that they had been beaten out of strength.

"Hehe" Xiao Chen sneered unabashedly, "If this can be regarded as a hard bone, then Da Chu's backbone will really be destroyed by them." ”

After a while, after the twenty boards were played, Wei Zhongxian trotted all the way back to the front yard, approached Xiao Chen's side, and said in a very low voice: "Back to the Governor, Lin Yi and they have moved on the board, and these people don't want to stand up for the rest of their lives." ”

"Hmm" Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the little marquis and the people outside the door with a tolerant face, "The board has been beaten, and the governor will no longer pursue it, so let them go home." ”
