Chapter 134 Great Confucianism is not a saint (2)
Zhang Hefeng's expression suddenly darkened, and when Li Ling and the others saw this, they stood up tactfully to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, he frowned and said, "You two are not busy leaving. This person is also related to you, so it's better to listen." As he said that, he pointed to the screen beside him and signaled the two to enter behind him.
Li Ling and Xu Cang looked at each other and asked tentatively: "Sir Confucianism, is Luo Liheng related to Luo Feng?"
Zhang Hefeng had no intention of hiding it and nodded generously: "Rolyheng is the father of Luo Feng. He has visited Monroe many times in the past few days, saying that he wanted to apologize to me, which is really annoying." As he said that, he looked at the manager again, "You go and call people in, but let him keep everything outside."
"I understand, little." The manager agreed and hurried away. Li Ling and the others exchanged glances with each other. Then, after giving a small gift to Zhang Hefeng, they walked to the huge eight-panel screens that divided the huge study into two rooms, waiting for the development of things.
After a while, a man in his forties came to the door. When he saw Zhang Hefeng, he quickly approached two steps and knelt down to greet him: "A junior Luo Liheng, a junior student, met Master Zhang Ru..." His knee-bending movements were deliberately slowing down, probably waiting for the other party to support him or stop him, but this time he miscalculated. Zhang Hefeng just sat upright and looked at him with no intention of stopping. In the end, he could only kneel in front of the door.
Seeing his cleverness and being embarrassed by his cleverness, Li Ling couldn't help but smile in his heart. Obviously, Mr. Zhang Ru has a prejudice against others and deliberately makes him ugly. Fortunately, the other party is thick-skinned, and even so, his expression remains unchanged. So he bowed and then raised his head slightly: "Sir Zhang Ru, the son Luo Feng, who had offended you in a reckless manner before, and when he learned about it, he was deeply frightened and intentionally broke his legs and thought it was severely punished. However, thinking that this matter was related to Mr. Zhang Ru, he did not dare to make any decisions, so he asked for a favor... "
Li Ling had to admit that this person could speak, and seemed to hand over the power to take the initiative to give up Zhang Hefeng, but he kept pointing out the identity of the other party's Confucian master, which meant that the other party would not be angry with a junior and would give up his own hands and let him go.
Zhang Hefeng looked at him with a smile: "Jun Luo get up and go into the house to talk. I know that this is absolutely impossible for you to mean it. After all, you and I have never had any grudges."
"Yes, yes, the Confucian master's eyes were indeed like a torch, and he could see the true feelings at once." As he spoke, Roryheng got up and entered the room. Under the other party's gaze, he carefully sat on the lower chair. His back had not even leaned against the back of the chair, so he really put his figure to the lowest point.
"I just don't understand a little. Why did Luo Feng appear at the literary meeting the day before yesterday and not get along with me? If I remember well, the literary meeting that day was to guide the students who are about to be examined by the provincial examination, but he is a juren. Why are he going there to join in the fun?" Zhang Hefeng asked in a plain tone.
Rory Henry hurriedly bowed and replied, "This is actually such a wrong thing that a young man did because he was very particular. I hope that Master Confucianism will spare my son's experience for his sake."
Li Ling couldn't help but silence behind the screen, "Okay, it turns out that in ancient times there was a saying that "he is still a child" to excuse others. It was just that it was more elegant, and it was a little bit unchanged. But the problem is that your son is in his twenties and even passed the imperial examination. Can he still be called a teenager?
Sure enough, Zhang Hefeng also snorted: "It's such a coincidence? But his words in the hall are not of little slightest meaning. They are really sharp."
"That...that's just something he learned from some people or books, not from his original intention." Rolleyheng said something and added hurriedly: "Besides, he was refuted by a student. In this way, his statements are indeed untenable."
"That's just because what he said is unreasonable, so there will naturally be flaws."
"What Confucian master said is that after this debate, not only my son, but also younger generations, were enlightened. After understanding the importance of business, they would not dare to make this mistake again in the future."
"Well, it's great that you can improve your mistakes." Zhang Hefeng nodded slightly to express his approval, which made Rolehen happy. As long as the other party no longer blames him and asks for the next request, the danger will be resolved to the minimum.
Just as he was thinking about how to say soft words and apologize, Zhang Hefeng suddenly asked: "By the way, this time the governor Liu asked you to do this?"
"Just..." Luo Liheng, who was thinking in his heart, was not wary at all, and naturally he said something. It was not until the words "Just" that he suddenly realized something was wrong. He stopped talking, but his face turned white suddenly, and Zhang Hefeng in front of him looked at him with a sneer: "It's true as I thought!"
If Li Ling hadn't been hiding behind the screen and unable to show his travels, he would have applauded. The old man's move was like an antelope hanging his horns, which made people unable to defend themselves. It turned out that the reactions from the beginning to the point where he felt as if he was moved by the other party were all for the preparation of the last question.
Taking advantage of the moment when Rory Hen was feeling a little relaxed and distracted, he suddenly threw out the most critical question. Even though the other party had immediately noticed something strange, he still revealed the answer.
The hall suddenly became quiet. Under the old man's gaze, Roryheng was so nervous that his body trembled slightly, and his forehead was sweating coldly. He wanted to say something, but after he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
After all, he is just a local gentry. Although he is a little intrigue on weekdays, compared with Zhang Hefeng, who has been in the court for many years, he is still too tender and too tender. In just a short time, someone has touched the details.
"Ju Ren Luo..." Luo Liheng was even more shocked when he heard this sound, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will listen to the lessons of Confucian scholars... I will make a comeback..." At this point, there is no point in making any arguments. No matter how famous or powerful he is, his family is far from this old man.
Zhang Hefeng's old eyes flashed with a light: "Some things are not included but they have to interfere, and the consequences will only be broken. But I am not the one who will retaliate after all. Since you are being used by others, it is not easy to vent all your anger on you."
"The Confucian master is so full of confucian masters, I am ashamed." As he said that, Rory Hen had already stood up and bowed again. This time he was sincerely convinced. At the same time, he looked at the old man with some hope, hoping that the other party could give up his hands.
"Although I don't want to pursue it, your Luo family's actions in Xuzhou over the years have caused public anger and violated the law of the king. The government must investigate and deal with it. For the sake of you being a member of our scholars, I can protect you from being sued, but you must take out all your property. Also, you and your son will leave Lianghuai now, so don't let me see you again."
"Ah..." Rolleyheng never dreamed that such severe punishment would be lenient when the other party said that it was a ruthless person, and he suddenly looked panicked and confused.
"How? Isn't it enough to protect you from your whole body? If you use the crime you committed, it is not an exaggeration to take away all your fame and honor and exile your entire family to the wilderness of the southwest. Do you still want to bargain with me?" the old man said, his eyes slightly lowered.
Rushan's pressure suddenly came, causing Luo Liheng's body to suddenly become stiff. It was not until this moment that he truly understood that even if such a high-ranking official had retired, he was not able to challenge him. This time, he finally accepted his fate and bowed obediently: "I know, I... After I go back, I will hand over all the land under my name and leave Xuzhou immediately."
"Well, I hope you can learn this lesson and don't make any more mistakes in the future. Not to mention that some people do things that are overestimated by one sentence, harming others and yourself." The old man said and waved his hand gently, indicating that the other party could leave.
Luo Liheng got up in a daze, walked out of the study, and suddenly remembered something again, and turned around with courage: "Master Confucianism, then my son Luo Feng..."
"Didn't you just talk about how to punish him severely? Just do it."
This made the other party tremble again. He had just said that he would break his son's legs and think that he would punish him. But that was more of a polite statement. He thought that he would not really agree with Zhang Hefeng's identity, but unexpectedly he shot himself in the foot again.
But now, he could no longer object, so he could only respond softly and stumble away, just like he was drunk.
It was not until Luo Liheng left that Li Ling and Xu Cang, who was also a little unconscious, turned out from behind the screen. When the latter looked at his new teacher, there was a lot of fear in his eyes.
The old man looked at him and smiled and said, "Why, I feel scared that what I am doing today is very different from what you thought before."
"No... I don't dare." Xu Cang shook his head and said.
However, Li Ling just smiled: "Mr. Confucianism is already magnanimous enough to do this, and it's only you. If you want to be a junior, I will definitely not let them leave this place so easily with what they do."
"Oh?" Zhang He looked at him with interest, "What do you really think?"
"Of course, what they did was to destroy the foundation of Confucian scholars. Now that you have retired and returned home, you have no real power. If you can't even keep your reputation, you may be difficult in the future. Moreover, there is a hidden officialdom behind this matter. Once you get a disadvantage, the consequences will be even more dangerous."
"You guys have some knowledge, right. This matter seems to be just a teenager's nonsense, but it contains open and secret arrows of the common people in the court. Those people really refuse to give up. I have returned to my hometown and still want to cause trouble for me. So if I don't punish and fight back this time, even if I avoid trouble today, more people will inevitably come to me in the future."
"This is called one-and-one."
"It's not that easy, but it can be quieter at least. So the wind sword and frost sword in the court is really hard to guard against. Although you haven't stepped into it, you should be prepared in your heart, otherwise you will be defeated miserably once you encounter an enemy."
"Thank you for your advice from Master Confucianism." Li Ling thanked sincerely.
Zhang Hefeng smiled: "But this time I still disappointed you. After all, I, a Confucian master, are not as bright as you think, and have a broad mind."
Li Ling glanced at Xu Cang, who was still a little stunned. He knew that the other party could not speak for a while, so he could only help: "The Confucian master doesn't have to say that. After all, you are a great Confucian scholar, but you are not a saint. How can you really not care about the enemy?"
