Chapter 335
"What happened?" Li Xiao thought hard and couldn't figure out what big thing happened.
"That boy Sun Chuanting has been surrounded by the students. Man Gui and others have already passed by. Let's hurry up. If we are late, something big will happen."
Li Xiao immediately jumped up from the recliner, put on his shoes and ran out. Tokugawa Qianhime chased her, and then she put on some clothes. Sun Chuanting had people surrounding Li Xiao, so he was not too worried, considering that guy
Wisdom is enough to cope with anything.
But Man Gui worried him a lot. He was a butcher who only knew how to chop people with a knife. If you asked him to solve the problem, you would know that there would be a lot of heads.
These are not ordinary people, but scholars and intellectuals. If they are really killed, it will definitely be a big deal, especially now that the Donglin Party is in power. It is an even bigger deal. Although Li Xiao has a strong army now, he still can't fight.
Those bastards from the Donglin Party.
Before I even reached the Chunwei Examination Hall, I saw people crowding both sides of the road. On top of the wall and upstairs, there were people watching the excitement. Not far away, the girls with red sleeves were even cheering loudly. The handkerchiefs in their hands were shaking.
Like a flag on a battlefield.
Li Xiao finally let go of his worries. Judging from the situation, Man Ye probably hadn't drawn his sword to kill anyone yet. If he had, the streets would be in a mess by now.
Ao Ye commanded the strong soldiers to clear the way in front, and those who blocked the way were pushed away by their neck collars. Some of them had a bad temper and scolded them before they turned around. When they turned around, their calves began to twist.
Walking into the middle of the street, there were hundreds of students holding a sign high, with their chests puffed out and arrogant.
Here are Sun Chuanting and several followers, protected by the cavalry regiments led by Man Gui. Fortunately, the knife in his hand has not been drawn out. Man Ye's temper is bound to draw blood if he draws the knife.
"What's going on? Sun Chuanting is trapped by a tablet?" Li Xiao leaned close to Sun Chengzong who was watching the excitement. No wonder nothing happened. It turned out that the old fox was at the scene!
"The students were making trouble and wanted to parade in the street, so I sent Sun Chuanting to come and take a look. Unexpectedly, they were surrounded. That is the memorial tablet of Saint Kong. Sun Chuanting was a scholar and of course he would not dare to make mistakes." Sun Chengzong had no choice;
Scholars, when faced with an absolute academic authority like Confucius, let alone Sun Chengzong, even the emperor has to bow to him when he sees him.
"What are the students making a fuss about?"
"They are just looking for an excuse, saying that you are kidnapped farmers and mulberry trees. You don't care about the life and death of the people. They want to parade on the streets and call on the people of Jinan to come to the governor's office to ask for an explanation from you."
"These guys know nothing!" Li Xiao was angry. I asked the farmers to grow potatoes and corn, so I was saving these farmers who have been starving for years. These scholars don't pay taxes or do corvee. They know the whole thing.
Those who are crazy are tinkering with eight-part essays. They don’t know that farmers are living a hard life of half a year’s food and half a year’s vegetables. Why is it so difficult to promote two high-yielding crops?
"This is the reason. I don't believe that there is no one behind the scenes to encourage this group of people to be so united. There is no first in civility and no second in martial arts. Guys who usually don't like each other are so united today. Don't you think there are people here?"
question?"
The two people were talking, and suddenly the guy holding the tablet of Confucius shouted at Sun Chuanting: "Sun Chuanting, you are also a second-ranked Jinshi. Now that you don't kneel down when you see the saint's tablet, does it mean that you think you are not a Confucian disciple?"
Kneel before the saint and answer!”
The muscles on Sun Chuanting's face twitched, and these words pushed him into a corner. When these boys entered the examination room, the first thing they did was not to take the exam, but to carry out the memorial tablet of Saint Kong. This tablet is only available in every province.
On this side, all the students who go to the examination room have to kneel down and worship. Sun Chuanting also did it back then! As a Confucian disciple, you have no ability to resist in front of this card. Unless you think you are not a Confucian disciple and really dare to do this,
The consequences will be very serious.
"Is the tablet of Confucius so powerful?"
"What do you think?" Sun Chengzong rolled his eyes at Li Xiao angrily, and now he didn't even dare to go out.
"Do you think the tablet of Confucius is more powerful, or the tablet of Confucius' father?" Li Xiao thought thoughtfully.
"You kid is really...! Come here, find a wooden sign." Sun Chengzong ordered, and Shunzi rushed into the nearby wine shop. He couldn't find the tablet, so he had to jump on the bench and come out. He pulled out the knife and "clicked"
With a few "clicks", the legs of the stool were peeled off. After a few scrapes with the knife, the white stubble was revealed. He handed it to Sun Chengzong with some hesitation. In a hurry, this was all he had.
Sun Chengzong didn't care. He took the pen and ink and wrote Shu Liang He straightly on the white stubble on the back of the stool.
"Who is Shu Lianghe?"
"Without learning or skills, this is his father who is a saint." Sun Chengzong looked at Li Xiao and wanted to see a piece of shit.
"Isn't Confucius's name Kongqiu? Why is his father's surname Uncle? Could it be that there is some inhumane secret in this?"
"Get out!" Sun Chengzong's beard was long and windless. This was a sign that he was about to get angry. Li Xiao could only shut up.
The sign was carried by Shunzi and ran to Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting understood immediately after taking one look and lifted the sign that had been modified into a bench. "Zhang Zhengqiu, look at what this is?"
The guy holding the Confucius tablet was stunned when he saw this crude tablet.
Confucius was awesome, but no matter how awesome he was, he couldn't be as awesome as Confucius' father.
The onlookers didn't know what was going on, and many people were whispering. At this time, some knowledgeable people began to show off, shaking their heads and telling everyone who Mr. Shu Lianghe was.
"Oh! I said Zhang Zhengqiu, do you know the consequences of this matter when you take the lead in making trouble? And you, Chunwei will try for such a national talent ceremony, so you do this. Do you know that this will ruin your reputation? Go back,
You all should go back and take the exam. I will inform the governor and ask him to give you leniency and give you a chance."
Li Xiao looked at Ma Shiqi coldly, this guy had not come out to play for a long time, and he came out now. He probably saw that he was already here, so he came out to calm the trouble. If you want to reconcile, what the hell did you do just now?
It seems that the leverage in his hand is not enough to make this bastard submissive.
"Hmph! Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. We, the scholars, just can't bear to see the governor causing trouble to the farmers. The people's harvest for a year is in this land. People mistakenly miss the land for a year, and the people have no food in their mouths.
He has no clothes on his body. How can you, a scholar like me, see through it? Do you mean that you have to let Li Xiao and that guy bring disaster to Shandong and make the people hungry and cold and homeless?
Master Xuezheng, how can you bear to watch the thousands of elders of the common people in Shandong reappear today? We, the scholars, will definitely not let this happen. Dare you, Master Xuezheng, please tell me and others
Today's matter will be reported to the imperial court. Let the princes of the imperial court and Long Live know about the evil deeds of the Shandong governor."
"Uh...!" Ma Shiqi looked at Li Xiao in embarrassment. He would never dare to agree to this matter. If he really agreed, he would never do it in Shandong. What made Ma Shiqi even more afraid was that he would offend Li Xiao to death.
Xiao Xiao, if you really get revenge..., you will definitely not be able to eat and go around. I don't see Chen Hongshou having a chief minister as his backer, and he is still being held in prison. He moves up and down, but the flowers like running water have no effect.
.Without the emperor, who would dare to let him out?
"Zhang Zhengqiu, right? How do you know that corn and potatoes are harmful to farmers? Now that you say that, what should you do if there is a bumper harvest of corn and potatoes this year?" Li Xiao walked out and stood up to Zhang Zhengqiu.
Opposite Zhengqiu, Ma Shiqi immediately stepped aside and said nothing!
"Who are you?" Zhang Zhengqiu looked Li Xiao up and down. Although this young man was not old, he had a calm and authoritative temperament. People unconsciously felt a sense of awe in their hearts.
"I am Li Xiao, the governor of Shandong who you say is causing trouble to farmers. So, I am standing here. Do you dare to bet with me that if there is a bumper harvest of corn and potatoes this year and the yield per mu reaches more than 500 kilograms, you will
How about you take the head off your neck and let me play with it for a few days?" Li Xiao looked at Zhang Zhengqiu with a sinister smile on his face. Under normal circumstances, the yield of potatoes can reach one thousand kilograms per mu, and the yield of corn per mu is 50 to 60 kilograms.
One hundred pounds is not a problem.
As for whether Zhang Zhengqiu's head can be reinstalled properly after being cut off and played with for a few days, this is not within the scope of Li Xiao's consideration.
"So you are Li Xiao, let me ask you this. What if the yield of potatoes and corn per mu does not reach 500 kilograms?" Zhang Zhengqiu gritted his back molars and looked at Li Xiao fiercely and asked.
"If it doesn't reach 500 pounds, I'll lend you my head for two days. After all, I'm a third-rank official in the imperial court. I'd be at a loss to make this bet with you, a little student!"
"Okay! So what if I, Zhang Zhengqiu, lay down my head? Do you dare to high-five me, the governor?" Zhang Zhengqiu handed the tablet in his hand to the attendant next to him, walked up to Li Xiao and stretched out his paw.
"Okay!" Li Xiao happily high-fived Zhang Zhengqiu and swore an oath of alliance.
"Catch him!" After the two sides clapped their hands and swore an oath, Li Xiao shouted coldly, and immediately soldiers like tigers and wolves rushed up. They grabbed Zhang Zhengqiu like a chicken cub. Many soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed to rescue him.
As a result, he was beaten up by Ao Canghai's agents and turned upside down. In terms of fighting, eight hundred soldiers were no match for these talented people who practice martial arts every day.
More than a hundred soldiers were beaten to the point of defeat by these dozen big men. Only the killers of the special agent company were spared. Li Xiao knew that most of the time they practiced to defeat the enemy with one move. If they really let go
Use your hands and feet to do it. The ground shouldn't be wailing now, but corpses should be everywhere.
"Mr. Governor, what are you doing...!" Ma Shiqi couldn't understand. He didn't know what Li Xiao was acting. Just now he thought that by bringing the students back to the Chunwei examination room, this matter would be revealed.
past.
"Haha! Chunwei is a solemn national talent selection ceremony. How can it be ruined by a young person? Now take Zhang Zhengqiu and send him to Yousi Yamen for punishment. After the charges are cleared, he will report to the court."
"Bold Li Xiao, although I am only a student, I am also a person with imperial honors. If you arrest me at will, do you know that you have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhang Zhengqiu had shoe marks on his cheeks, but he still spoke unforgivingly.
"Oh! By the way, you are a person with a good reputation. Mr. Xuezheng happens to be here. Mr. Xuezheng, please remove his reputation right now." Li Xiao turned his eyes and looked at Ma Shiqi.
Ma Shiqi's face changed again and again, and finally it became as ugly as constipation. Behind this incident was Qian Qianyi, the new censor of Zuodu of the Inspectorate, and Zhang Zhengqiu was one of his students. Now in public, he wants to be deprived of his honor.
.This incident made Qian Qianyi know that he could not afford to go around alone.
"Ma Shiqi, I'll give you two choices. One is to deprive him of his reputation now, and the other is for me to compile what you did in Xiaoyao Tower into nine episodes and eighteen chapters, in teahouses and restaurants in the capital and Jinan.
Let the storyteller be played simultaneously. The cycle will continue every day, what do you think?" Li Xiao approached Ma Shiqi and whispered to the scholar-gentleman that your old little tail is still in my hand.
Ma Shiqi's face turned pale immediately. Common people like this kind of topic the most. If he is told in a loop by storytellers, then he and the next generation of the Ma family will no longer have such a thing as fame. Even the girls of the Ma family, even if
Even if she is born like a flower, she will never get married.
Cruel! This move is so damn cruel!
"Hmm...!" Li Xiao looked at Ma Shiqi who was sweating on his forehead. If he didn't use the black material in his hand now, then how could he use it?
"No! I will obey the governor's words." Ma Shiqi finally made up his mind. Being targeted by Qian Qianyi meant that he would not have a good life in the future. But if Li Xiao did this, he would not have a good life in the future. Not only was he unlucky, he even
The entire Ma family will be unlucky.
"The governor has issued an order to expunge Zhang Zhengqiu's honorary title. Because Zhang Zhengqiu destroyed the Spring Festival Ceremony, he is hereby taken into custody and brought to Yousi Yamen for interrogation in order to uphold the law of the country." Ma Shiqi played a trick and said here that the governor had an order.
When I defend myself in the future, I will also say that Li Xiao forced him to do it. Anyway, I was forced to do it at the beginning, and I absolutely refused in my heart.
After all, he is a seasoned official, and he is proficient in the tricks of taking one step and watching three.
Li Xiao will not care about these things, as long as his goal is achieved. Looking at Zhang Zhengqiu who was tied up, he bared his teeth and said with a smile: "I know you are just a dog, and a big dog depends on its master. Now if I beat you, this dog, it will be
This is for your master. Now that you have no honor and are causing trouble in the street, I, as the governor of a province, order you to be beaten twenty times. Isn't it an exaggeration?"
"Li Xiao, you...!" Zhang Zhengqiu was still struggling, and the soldiers on one side took off his pants. It is said that a soldier who had practiced Shaolin stick technique picked up a pole and swung it into a circle before beating Zhang Zhengqiu.
The words he scolded Li Xiao were immediately punched back into his stomach. When they came out again, they had turned into screams.
This is taking off his pants in the street and making a slap in the face, which makes Ma Shiqi feel bitter. This is not a slap on Zhang Zhengqiu's butt, this is a slap on Qian Qianyi's face. How can it be good to get involved in the fight between the imperial court bosses now?
