The Lin family, the Zhou family, and the Ma family have always been the three major families in Gujing Town.

When it comes to financial resources and prestige, the three are on a par with each other, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.

It is worth praising that the three families live next to each other and are extremely friendly with each other.

Even the ancestral cemetery is connected together, and a stone tablet is erected in the cemetery, called the Sanzhang Tablet.

The inscription records the exploits of the three major families for the town.

The problem comes from these three monuments.

Last month, the three families received greetings from different places.

And the visit is the same today.

The same book came with the prayer post, "Sanzhang Tablet". It was written by Wu Zongyu, a genius in Lingxi.

Lin Shushan received the first letter of worship, and when he read it, he was only shocked into a cold sweat.

The book is full of beautiful words for the Lin family, the Zhou family, and the Ma family.

The problem is that most of them are exaggerated and add fuel to the fire.

There are even some things that they don't know about themselves are added to the book.

Lin Shushan was frightened, so he got together with Zhou Xian and Ma Wengong, the head of the Ma family, to discuss.

When the three of them talked about it, they didn't answer it for free. After thinking about it a few times, I felt that there was something strange about this matter, and the visitor seemed to have no good intentions, but there was a sense of asking the teacher to ask for guilt.

The trio finally decided to buy all the books in the market and destroy them.

But after all, it is too widely circulated, and only six or seven out of ten can be recovered.

Then they automatically used their own connections to find some well-spoken and knowledgeable celebrities to come to help.

The old scholars that Fang Zhan had seen before were originally invited by Zhou Xian to prepare for today's appointment.

However, he was mistaken by Zhou Jiyuan for the gentleman he found again, and was forced to ask by Zhou Jiyuan, and a group of old scholars were defeated.

Zhou Xian also tried his son, and at the same time tried the skills of these so-called old pedants, and did not stop him.

Who would have thought that would be the result.

Seeing that the old pedants were all blowing their beards and glaring in anger, they did not say the following words.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, tables and chairs were arranged, and the east and west were divided into a row, and on the stone steps to the north, there were Lin Shushan, Zhou Xian, and Ma Wengong.

On the left are the guests who came to visit today, and on the right are the guests invited by Lin Shushan and Marven Gong.

Fang Zhan, Li Xuanyi, and Shang Ke were invited by Lin Shushan and sat next to Lin Shushan.

Mao Tuan'er Lin Yanqing, the tsundere boy Zhou Jiyuan, and the little young master of the Ma family, Ma Guo'er, were next to their mothers, standing under the eaves, and at the same time staring at the person who was talking in the field.

The people in the audience were holding the "Three Zhangs Tablet" in their hands.

He flipped to one of the pages and said, "Zhao Yanbo of Wutong Academy, there is a little bit of confusion. There is a sentence mentioned in this book, "The three major families of Lin, Zhou, and Ma have a collection of 30,000 volumes, which makes it difficult for the Tianshu Pavilion of Wutong Academy to match it." "Tianshu Pavilion currently has a collection of 27,329 volumes, so I asked the three family masters to give the collection of books to Zhao Mouguan, if it can really go beyond Tianshu Pavilion, Zhao Mou will also go back to pay the errand. ”

Lin Shushan and the three of them looked at each other, and Lin Shushan said: "Brother Zhao said that he laughed, the three of us have some book collections, but even we ourselves have not strictly counted how many volumes there are, and now if we make a count of these books, time does not allow it." Lin and the three of them have just explained again and again that "Sanzhang Monument" is not instructed by the three of us, and this book really has nothing to do with us!"

Zhao Yanbo said: "Master Lin doesn't have to be too humble, but sorting out books is time-consuming and laborious, so Zhao was the first to stand up, and when these later visitors solved the purpose of coming here one by one, your books were almost sorted out." ”

Lin Shushan shook his head and said, "We won't sort it out, if we offend Wutong Academy because of this, the three of us will admit defeat here, and Brother Zhao will go back and return truthfully." Let's just say that the status of Wutong College is unshakable. Isn't that good?"

Zhao Yanbo said with a straight face: "What kind of person is Wu Zongyu, and the books he writes are child's play." Even if he Wu Zongyu was exaggerated, Zhao wanted to know how much the gap was, so he asked the three family heads to fulfill it. ”

Lin Shushan looked at Zhou Xian, and then at Ma Wengong, and the three of them shook their heads helplessly.

He ordered everyone in the house to participate in it, and moved the books of the three families to the courtyard of the Lin Mansion, and someone specially took a pen to record them one by one.

This matter took a lot of time, and everyone in the audience ignored it.

Zhao Yanbo arched his hand and said, "Zhao is waiting here." ”

At this time, a person came to the field and opened the "Sanzhang Monument" in his hand.

said: "As mentioned on page 29 of the "Sanzhang Tablet", the Lin family repaired thirty-seven bridges. The Zhou family built roads, criss-crossed, extending in all directions. The Ma family dredged the river for more than 1,800 miles. Such feats made the King of Hanhai, who was far away in the northeast border, also pay tribute. ”

Speaking of this, he closed the book and said: "Master Lin, Master Zhou, Master Ma, Huzhou Dai Zunli wants to ask, the King of Hanhai conquered the Quartet and assisted the emperor to conquer this immortal country, is it also comparable to your three rich businessmen?"

Lin Shushan, Zhou Xian, and Ma Wengong looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

In the array on the right, a man stood up suddenly.

He said angrily: "No, Jiang Shixu lives in Jiangtaizhou, and he deeply admires what the three families have done over the years.

Another person in the array on the left stood up and said, "It's ridiculous to talk about the generation of Rongma feudal kings who have expanded their territory!"

A person stood up on the right and said loudly: "This book is written by Wu Zongyu, you should also ask this Lingxi talent." ”

One of the guests on the left shook his head and said, "Han Liang is polite." ”

The man on the right arched his hand and said, "Is it the Han family who painted?"

Han Liang said with a smile: "The so-called "everyone" is just someone else putting gold on their faces!"

The person on the right replied: "Under Zheng Maolin, may I ask, Zheng just called you a Han family, and Mr. Han also agreed, which proves that you are a real family!"

Han Liang was stunned and said, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself." ”

Zheng Maolin smiled, didn't say a word, and sat down.

No one in the audience said a word for a while, and the atmosphere froze instantly.

Zheng Maolin only used this question to implicitly explain the relationship between the book and the three major families.

As Han Liang himself said, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself." ”

After a while, someone on the left stood up and said: "Contemptible An Ziyou, mentioned on page 38 of the book, "There are 9,800 pillars of the Gaotang Kingdom to protect the country, and there is only one stele in Sanzhang. One protects the country and the other protects the town, and its merits are big and small, and its meaning is not high or low." An Ziyou has always lived on the shore of the Phantom Sea, and there is a pillar of protector next to his home. In the past ten years, every time I see it, I have reverence. How dare this "Sanzhang Monument" be compared with the Protector Pillar. ”

After An Ziyou finished speaking, no one replied.

It's just because this Protector Divine Pillar no one dares to slander it in the Gaotang Kingdom.

In the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Protector Pillar is a true god-like existence.

The official history of the Tang Dynasty contains:

"In the thirteenth year of Wuling, on March 14, three o'clock in the hour, in the territory of Qionghua Prefecture, countless heavenly fires fell from the sky, and then there was a strong earthquake on the ground.

There are cracks nearly five feet wide in the ground, which stretch for more than 3,000 miles.

The next day, the crack widened and increased by half.

The next day, increase by more than two feet.

In three days, it increased by another half a foot, and then it stopped widening.

In the 14th year of Wuling, on March 14, a strong earthquake occurred again, and the crack widened by two feet.

In the fifteenth year of Wuling, on March 14, three strong earthquakes occurred, and the crack was one foot wider.

In the sixteenth year of Wuling, the lord of the country, Emperor Wuling, fell into a dream, according to the dream, he formed an alliance with the Phantom Sea Dynasty, and buried more than 1,500 feet underground with 9,800 iron pillars, the diameter of the iron pillars was seven feet and seven inches long, and they were connected together with a huge chain, trying to firmly fix the cracks and no longer crack.

On March 14, the sixteenth year of Wuling, the last giant iron pillar of heaven was erected in the southern border of Gaotang, on the shore of the Phantom Sea, through the cooperation of the two countries.

On the same day, a huge whirlpool appeared in the sea, and the 300,000 soldiers of the Phantom Sea Dynasty, including the monarch, were involved in the whirlpool, and no one survived!

Since then, on March 14 every year in the Gaotang Kingdom, with the strength of the whole country, the people from all over the country have chosen to kneel and worship the 9,800 iron pillars that have reached the sky, in order to commemorate the 300,000 soldiers of the allied Fantasy Sea Dynasty and the heroic soul of the Fantasy Sea monarch. ”
