Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Wicked Have Their Own Grinding
After the people of the Yellow River Gang withdrew, Du Ruyue and Li Fengyun stepped forward to thank them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Dao looked at Li Fengyun and said, "You little doll, you are so bold, you dare to speak disrespectfully in front of the old man, do you think the old man should punish you?"
Li Fengyun peeked at Liu Xiong and Ma Ying beside Feng Dao, and was a little stunned in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Yan Guogong, I am a rude man, I don't have any heart, and the little girl always says that I have a bad mouth and often offend people, did I say anything just now? Why don't I remember." ”
Feng Dao sank his face and said, "Hugh wants to play tricks with the old man, the old man has been an official for decades, who hasn't seen it? If you are a rude man, there will probably be no more shrewd people in this world.
To tell you the truth, the old man made a move, not because he fell for your radical plan, but because he cherished talents, he couldn't bear to see you take the wrong path because no one taught you, and the old man gave you two choices: admit punishment or not admit punishment?
Li Fengyun hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is it to admit punishment?"
"It's easy to admit punishment," Feng Dao replied, "Go back and copy "The Mean" a hundred times, and from then on you will also be my Feng Dao's protégé, how to behave, the old man will teach you." ”
Li Fengyun's face was ashen, his eyes turned around a few times, and he said in his heart: "This old guy's methods seem to be very powerful, as his protégé, does Lao Tzu still have a way to live?"
Then I thought again: "What is "The Mean", I don't know if the number of words is too many or not much? If there are only a dozen or so words, Lao Tzu will not want to splash his life, and it doesn't matter if he copies it hundreds of times. As for being his protégé, hum, the legs are on Lao Tzu, this old guy can't always let the man surnamed Liu surnamed Ma stay by my side, don't listen to this old guy chanting Amitabha, sneaked away, where did he find Lao Tzu?"
Thinking of this, Li Fengyun whispered to Du Ruyue and asked what dozens of words there were in "The Mean".
Although Feng Dao is old, his ears are very pointed, "hehe" laughed twice, and said: "There are not many words in "The Mean", the full text is only 3,568 words, and a hundred times is 356,800 words, which is not too much. The old man saw that you were not a person with a deep temperament, so he didn't let you copy the Four Books and Five Classics, which have a total of more than 120,000 words. ”
"Mother!" Li Fengyun almost fainted, did this old man have the intention to torture him?
"What will happen if you don't admit punishment?" Li Fengyun asked cautiously.
"That's simpler," Feng Daohu lowered his face, turned his head and said, "Liu Xiong, go and kill him, lest he bring disaster to the world in the future." ”
Liu Xiong agreed, and was about to make a move, Li Fengyun was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "I admit punishment, I admit punishment, can I only copy it once?"
"What do you say?" Feng Dao glared and asked, and then said to the two old servants: "Liu Xiong, Ma Ying, this little doll is very slippery, look at it, don't let him escape, he escapes once, cut off one of his hands, escape twice, cut off one of his legs, escape three times, hum." ”
"Chop two hands and one foot?" Li Fengyun blurted out.
"No," Feng Dao suddenly laughed, "Just chop it up and feed it to the dog!"
Li Fengyun wilted like a frosted eggplant.
"Poof" Du Ruyue couldn't help laughing.
Feng Dao asked Du Ruyue with a smile again: "Niece Ruyue, what did you provoke the Yellow River Gang?"
Du Ruyue hesitated, thinking that the case that Mo Qingyan investigated was originally a case that the imperial court should investigate, and there was no need to avoid Feng Dao, so she told the story of the matter as it was, but omitted some things that should not be said.
After hearing this, Feng Dao sighed and said: "Young man, young man, after all, he is a young man! It is also a sigh, for the sake of the imperial court, his wife and children have to hide everywhere, how can this be said? In this way, there is no need to go to the countryside to hide, let's come to the old man's mansion together, in the old man's mansion, there should be no one to make up his mind, right?"
Du Ruyue was overjoyed, not to mention Feng Dao's identity there, only Liu Xiong and Ma Ying were in charge, and it was estimated that no one would find trouble with the Mo family. I told everyone in the Mo family again, and everyone agreed, Mo Qingyan's wife and sister-in-law had seen Feng Dao again.
Feng Dao comforted: "This matter is over, the old man will talk to Mo Zhu quickly and let him let go of this matter." ”
Du Ruyue said: "Uncle Feng, Brother Mo didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to let go of this matter?"
Feng Dao replied: "Of course it is right not to be loyal to your duties, but the things in this world are not justified by a single reason. Dali Temple no longer investigates this case, what is the reason, have you figured it out?"
"Isn't it because of corruption and bending the law, and the corpse is vegetarian?" Du Ruyue asked.
Feng Dao shook his head and replied: "How can things in the world be so simple? In fact, the old man has also heard about this case, not only the old man knows, but even the emperor also knows, and it is actually the emperor's intention not to let him investigate it further." ”
Li Fengyun was puzzled and asked: "Yan Guogong, investigating this case clearly can remove a major hidden danger in the Central Plains, why is the emperor unwilling to investigate further?"
"Call the teacher!" Feng Dao said fiercely.
Li Fengyun shrunk his neck and reluctantly whispered, "Old ...... Teacher. ”
"A teacher is a teacher, what is an old teacher? Why, being an old man's student is very wronged by you, don't you want to?" Feng Dao said angrily.
"No, no, no, I'm willing, a hundred willing!" Li Fengyun said hurriedly, but added two words in his heart: "It's weird!"
Feng Dao ignored him, but said to Du Ruyue with a pleasant face: "Niece Ruyue, there was a story in the Three Kingdoms, I don't know if you have heard it?"
"What's the story?" Li Fengyun was a little interested.
Feng Dao said: "In the battle of Guandu, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, several baskets of bamboo slips were found from Yuan Shao's big tent, all of which were letters from Cao Jun's generals secretly communicating with Yuan Shao.
The military judge in the army was preparing to arrest those generals who secretly communicated with Yuan Shao during the confrontation between the two armies in the Battle of Guandu, but Cao Cao stopped this. Not only that, but he also burned all the bamboo slips in public and said a few words. ”
"What words?" asked Li Fengyun.
Feng Dao replied: "Cao Cao said, in this war, the strength of the Yuan army is far stronger than the Cao army, the battle of Guandu is actually won very lucky, it is not strange that there are generals who secretly communicate with Yuan Shao, they are not saints, who will not leave a way back for themselves? ”
After listening to this story, Li Fengyun said with a smile: "It turned out that I was afraid of forcing the people behind the scenes, and this court was too irresponsible!"
Feng Dao sighed and said: "Now is the troubled era, not the prosperous era, the prosperous era must be guarded against, when encountering this kind of thing, we must investigate to the end, warn the latecomers, but now it can't be done! ”
"That can't be left unattended, it's okay to be on some precautions!" Du Ruyue was very dissatisfied and said.
Feng Dao smiled and said: "Guarded? The imperial court has no defense against which jiedu envoy with heavy troops in his hands? But defense is defense, and these princes cannot but be both guarded against and coaxed, this is the emperor's technique." ”
"What kind of emperor's technique is simply to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. Du Ruyue said.
"Yes, it is true that the east wall is demolished to make up the west wall. Feng Dao said, "It's better than the whole house collapsing! How did Emperor Min of the previous dynasty lose the world? Didn't he move the last emperor Li Congke, who was still the envoy of the Fengyang Festival at that time?
Du Ruyue was silent, there was nothing to say, but she faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't understand it.
Li Fengyun laughed and said: "You Central Plains people, there are so many twists and turns in this. Unlike our Qingping Town, if it doesn't like the eye, it will fight with a knife and a gun. ”
Du Ruyue glanced at him and said, "Aren't you from the Central Plains?"
Li Fengyun was stunned, to be honest, although he was not a Khitan, he grew up in Qingping Town since he was a child, and he actually did not have any sense of belonging to the imperial court in the Central Plains. always felt that what happened in the Central Plains actually had nothing to do with him.
