Chapter IV: Blockade
In the front hall of Su's house, Su Yi looked up at an ink painting on the wall of the main hall and was motionless, meditating to himself. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Behind him, an anxious woman was walking back and forth, very eager, which was completely different from the dignified Mrs. Su in normal times, but she was anxious.
"How long has it been, why haven't you come back yet, where has this gone? Mrs. Su muttered to herself, turned around and came to Su Yi's side, very anxious: "You have something to say, this son doesn't know the whereabouts of this son, how can you still be so calm." ”
"What's the use of being anxious, what's the use of being anxious?" Su Yi turned his head with a serious face: "You and I are not in a hurry, but can you rush my son back in a hurry?" ”
Coincidentally, before Su Yi's words fell, an old man with pale temples and a tough body hurriedly ran outside the door, and he went straight to Su Yi with an anxious face: "Oh no, master, the young master is in prison." ”
"What!" When Mrs. Su heard this, her eyes suddenly dizzy, the sky was dark, and she didn't slow down for a while, but she fainted.
"Come on, help Mrs. down!" The son was still in prison, and the woman couldn't stand the stimulation, which was really worse, and she helplessly watched the family help Mrs. away, and then looked at Fu Bo: "What's going on, how can you be put in prison, do you inquire clearly?"
"I heard that the young master went to the government today, beat the drum of grievances, and said that he wanted to avenge his teacher, and the person who killed his teacher was the son of the prefect's family, as for why the son was locked up, the prefect dispersed the onlookers, so it is not known, but it is certain that the son was imprisoned in the prefect's prison. Fauber said hurriedly, panting.
"Teacher, what teacher, why didn't I know he still had a master?" Su Yi looked dazed, the so-called mentor is usually called so if he has a teacher, but Su Bai has been studying at home since he was a child, and if he wants to say that his mentor is also his father, how could he suddenly have an extra teacher, but he is confused.
"Actually, the so-called teacher is an old beggar who often comes to our house, and he is very close to the son, but he was beaten to death by the grandson, and the young master was angry, so he went to the prefect's mansion and beat the drum to voice his grievances. Fauber explained that he also knew from some beggars, and the exact truth was unknown.
"Nonsense, what nonsense!" Su Yi walked back and forth behind his hands, and suddenly he stopped and pointed straight out of the door: "Follow me to Sun's Mansion!"
No matter what the reason is, Su Yi will inevitably go to the prefect's yamen, Su Bai is his only son, even if he does everything he can, he must keep the Su family's incense.
Su Yi went straight to Sun Sijin's mansion, at this time the bright moon was in the sky, it was already night, and there was no one outside Sun's mansion, so two red lanterns were hung outside the door.
Fu Bo knocked on the copper ring of the lion's mouth, and soon a family member opened the door: "Who are you, what are you doing knocking on the door in the middle of the night, I don't know if this is the prefect's mansion?"
"This little brother!" Fu Bo understood the rules inside and outside the door very well, and handed some silver money to the family who opened the door with his long sleeves: "Trouble the little brother, just say that Master Su Yisu of Dongjie asks to see." ”
"You wait outside the door, whether the master sees it or not, it all depends on his mood!" The man weighed the money in his hand, closed the door, and listened to the footsteps in the door gradually drifting away, and there was no sound.
"Lust for profit, all of them are mercenary villains. Su Yi was very disdainful and threw his head aside.
Not long after, the house opened the door, but it was the prefect who had been invited, and he had already gone to the living room first, and Su Yi took Fu Bo with him, so he hurriedly entered the house.
In the living room, the prefect Sun Sijin was sorting out his clothes, and when he saw Su Yi coming to be polite, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then they entered the theme.
"I heard that the dog collided with the adult and was put in prison by the adult, dare to ask Lord Sun if there is such a thing?" Su Yi didn't like Sun Sijin in the first place, and he didn't be tactful when he came up, so he asked directly, which was quite questioning.
"Ling Gongzi?" Sun Sijin heard this, his brows furrowed, and suddenly sounded Su Bai, who was beaten by himself and put in the government prison, Su Bai, Su Yi, when he thought of this, he suddenly felt bad, but after a long time in the officialdom, he has practiced the ability to be in danger after countless encounters, he pretended to be shocked and said: "There is no such thing, although Sun Mou does not have much intersection with the Su family on weekdays, but the name of the Su family, Sun Mou, still knows, usually it is too late to climb high, how can he put your noble son in my government prison, there must be something wrong." ”
"It's true!" Su Yi hurriedly said: "I also just found out, the dog Su Bai entered the yamen because of some things, and he didn't come out again." ”
"Su Bai!" Sun Sijin pretended to be shocked, and immediately occupied the seat, and looked at Su Yi in dismay: "The head of the Su family is talking about a teenager?"
"Exactly!" Su Yi was overjoyed, and said continuously: "The dog is thirteen this year, he must have sat in some kind of foolishness, and please read it for the sake of him when he is still a teenager, spare him this time, and Su Mou will be strictly disciplined after he goes back." ”
"What's going on...... Sun Sijin sat down, with a serious face: "Although your son is young, he is full of economic wealth and talent, and he is a talented man who has read poetry and books, and he knows a lot about this person, and he is no longer an ordinary young man." Do you know why this official put him in prison?"
Sun Sijin said, looking at Su Yi.
"Please also make it clear!" Su Yi responded.
He was false, fabricated falsehoods, framed his official relatives, and roared in court. Sun Sijin said sternly, and looked at Su Yi: "This matter is small, it is called young and ignorant, and when it is big, it is that he has tarnished my reputation of Qingming, and if he insults my Qingming, it is small, and if he insults the court, it is big, and it is not good to be deducted from it...... I don't need to say anything about it, I think the master of the Su family, who is a literati and ink writer, should understand. ”
"My lord is clear, the dog has always been sensible, cautious, and will never do anything that destroys the reputation of the adult, and I hope that the adult Haihan. Su Yi hurriedly explained.
"Actually, I've thought it through. Sun Sijin nodded: "I see that he is young, and he must have been bewitched by a traitor to commit this kind of cholera law and discipline. ”
"Master Sun Mingjian, it is really a blessing for the people of Tongtianfu. Su Yi hurriedly catered and sang a tune.
"But ......," Sun Sijin's face changed slightly.
"What's the matter, sir, is there anything embarrassing?" Seeing Sun Sijin's face change, Su Yi hurriedly said: "If there is any difficulty, I hope that Lord Sun will say that although Su is not a wealthy businessman, he still has some savings at home." ”
"The head of the Su family is too worried. Sun Sijin waved his hand as he spoke: "My grandson is not a person with such a long hand, but he just insulted the official in the court, and he was arrogant, and the official did not know the appearance of the noble son, so he was angry and gave him fifty boards." ”
As soon as he heard the fifty big boards, Su Yi's heart tightened, his son was only thirteen years old, and the fifty big boards were inevitably too heavy, and an accidental injury to his life was also a matter of a cane, but after all, this was a government office, and he was in the hands of the official, as long as he held back his anger, he stepped forward and said: "The dog is ignorant and confronts the adult, and his eyes are lawless, so he should be punished, so that he can show off everywhere when he knows that he has some literary talents, and there is no one in his eyes, and let him know how to behave in the future, and I hope that the adult will spare him when he is young, and let Su take it back to discipline him well." ”
"Of course, I will order to go down and release people, just don't affect our future friendship because of this matter, Tongtianfu is just such a place, look down and don't look up, you say yes, Su family master." Sun Sijin smiled slightly, but he didn't want to offend Su Yi.
"That's natural, Su Mou also wants to thank the adult's subordinates for their mercy, so I will leave!" After that, Su Yi and Fu Bo left one after another.
Sun Sijin arranged for his subordinates to go to the prison with Su Yi and let Su Bai, who had suffered the pain of cane punishment, go.
Su Bai was in pain on her body, but her mother Qiao Shi was in pain in her heart, sitting at the head of the bed with tears in her eyes, and her tears had hardly broken since Su Bai came back.
"Crying, crying, crying, you know crying, but after a few boards, a little hardship and a long lesson, it's not a big deal. Su Yi stood aside and said impatiently.
"It doesn't seem like it was your son who beat him, no matter what, Sun Sijin was too ruthless, he didn't punish him, but wanted my son's life. Qiao Shi cried and cried, wiping his tears and theorizing.
"Dog officer, what a dog officer!"
Bang, Su Yi slapped on the table, and said angrily: "I and him are originally well water and do not violate river water, he is his official, I am my knowledge, originally unrelated, peaceful, but he is really hateful, too ostentatious, too excessive, I will repair a book and send it to Kyoto, I will visit him above the court, remove his black gauze hat, and see how he continues to plague the people." ”
"Yes, I have long heard that he is an unjust official, and he is unkind to be an official, and he is simply unworthy of being an official, so let your fellow disciples participate in him. Qiao's spirit suddenly came, and he couldn't wait to immediately break that Sun Sijin into ten thousand pieces.
After seven days, Su Bai's external injuries were no longer serious, and he could walk around on the ground.
Just after this morning, Su Bai and his father came to the pavilion by the pool.
The father and son were silent for a long time, thinking about each other, and they just stood by the pavilion, one watching the wind and water, and the other watching the clouds and scenery.
"The little beggar who told you the truth drowned in the moat. Su Yi was cold and suddenly said.
Su Bai was stunned, his eyes widened, he looked at Su Yi in disbelief: "How come, how can it be drowned?"
"Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, he shouldn't have died, but he knew what he shouldn't know, and just told you, and you went to beat the drum of injustice and sued the Sun family, all the causes are because of you, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't die. Su Yi came one by one.
Every word and sentence of Su Yi was like the tip of a needle, hitting the nail on the head, and it stabbed Su Bai's body fiercely.
"That old beggar was beaten to death, shouldn't someone avenge him?" asked Su Bai.
"Yes!"
"Then Sun Dongheng bullied and dominated the market, robbed the people's daughters, disregarded people's lives, and regarded the king's law and nothing, shouldn't he be brought to justice?" Su Bai asked again.
"Yes!"
"Since it's all right, why did the little beggar die because of me, did I do something wrong?" Su Bai was puzzled and stared at Su Yi.
"You didn't do anything wrong, but you didn't understand, so you went to sue Sun Dongheng. Su Yi said lightly, which made people puzzled.
"Don't understand, what do you understand?" Su Bai was puzzled and immediately asked.
"What method do you use to sue Sun Dongheng? Do you just rely on one mouth? Do you have evidence? Human evidence? Physical evidence? Do you have all of them? You have nothing, what can you use to sue him?"
"I ......" Su Bai was speechless for a moment.
Su Yi's words made Su Bai suddenly feel excited, and he stood there dumbfounded, he patted Su Bai on the shoulder: "In this world, there are many things that can be done without wanting to do, and if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." It's like this pavilion of ours, everyone knows what it looks like, it looks simple, a few pieces of wood, a few glazed tiles, and a few stone steps are put together.
It's not that we can't do it, it's that we can't do it, we don't know how to build this pavilion, we don't know how to build it.
Do you remember when you asked me what the Tao is? It's like the official road that runs through the Heavenly Mansion, how we should walk this road, there are many ways, on horseback, on foot, in a carriage, but do you know how to ride? Do you know when to whip a horse, when to tighten the reins, when to let the horse rest? Do you know how you walk this road with two legs? How can you use your feet rationally, with the same physical strength, to walk different journeys?
All of this has a law in it, if you can't master the method, you may hit someone while riding a horse, you may sprain your foot when walking, and the wheel may be broken because of a negligence in the carriage, just like you haven't found a way to sue Sun Dongheng because of a moment of excitement and rash grievances, and in the end you can only harm others and yourself, if I find out your whereabouts later, Sun Siyuan's dog official may have killed you, and your fate should be the same as that little beggar.
Calm down and think about it!"
After Su Yi spoke at length, he turned to leave, believing that his son could learn new things from it, which would definitely help him greatly in his future growth.
"Rules, rules, methods......" Su Bai's heart was touched, he recalled what he had experienced during the day, and slowly became organized: "Knowing that the old beggar died, I went to sue Sun Dongheng because I was angry for a while, and this is the way I took at that time. I knew my own way, but I didn't know the way to walk this path, I didn't understand the rules and laws of walking on this road, I made a wrong choice, I couldn't protect the way, the way didn't last long, and in the end, because I only knew the 'way', I didn't understand the law, I didn't know the rules, not only did I fail to finish this road, but I killed the little beggar, and I also walked into the quagmire, fell into it, and almost died......"
"The Tao is the Tao, the very Tao, what is the Tao. The law can be the law, the extraordinary law, what is the law. Clear, very clear, what is clear. ”
Suddenly, Su Bai's heart ran through the three pages and nine characters, and in the predicament, it seemed to be a flash of light: "If there is a road, there must be a way to walk the road, but how to use these methods?" Horseback riding requires the skill of riding a horse; ferries need to have a way to steer the ferry; cooking requires knowing how to use fire and how to cook food; there is wind in the sky, clouds gather and scatter, rain turns into water, lightning and thunder roar, fire burns the plains, the earth under your feet, everything in the world, thousands of ways, there are avenues, there are paths, there are paths, each has its own way, but no matter what way, what law, there must always be a rule, a rule that does not change between heaven and earth. ”
"Like a blacksmith who makes things in iron, where does the fire come from, why does carbon make fire, why does that fire melt gold and turn iron into shape, where does the water in the river go when it is hot and dry, why does the sky let rain down, how does the earth carry all things, how does it give birth to all things? All these things seem to be intricate and different, but they never escape a rule between heaven and earth. ”
"There is a way, there is a law, but also to understand how to better use the law, understand the law between heaven and earth, clear and clear, very clear, what is clear, so it is!"
In the dark, Su Bai seemed to feel that something was opened, he hurriedly walked away, returned to his room, and saw the bedside, the book of Taoism opened the fourth page by itself, and the things in it changed the previous nine-character style, and the handwriting throughout was extremely clear.
