Hao Fenglou rode back to Chaoyang Gate. Because it was already a little late, many people had to go back to the countryside from the city, so many people left the city. The gatekeepers at the city gate had to check again, so the city gate was blocked.

Fortunately, the city gate guards on duty recognized Hao Fenglou a little. Although they had never dealt with Hao Fenglou, they knew that Hao Fenglou was not a simple person, so they quickly dispersed the crowd and gave up a way to invite Hao Fenglou into the city.

Hao Fenglou didn't say anything, came in, smiled slightly at the guard, and nodded to greet him.

The sun sets, and the people entering and leaving are in a hurry, which is very different from the idle Nanjing in the past. Hao Fenglou breathes out and continues to ride the horse slowly with his two escorts.

When he returned to the mansion, the sharp-eyed Hao Wu saw Hao Fenglou coming back, and hurriedly came up to pick up the horse for Hao Fenglou and said, "Young Master, Zhou Sili came just now and said that something happened and he wanted to ask the adults to go back to Qianhu's office to deal with it."

Hao Fenglou frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on?"

Hao Wudao: "I didn't say this, but looking at him, it seems a little embarrassed. It seems that this matter is quite tricky."

After Hao Wu said this, Hao Fenglou could not sit still and even Zhou Sili could not solve the problem, which shows that he had encountered an emergency.

He had no choice but to instruct Hao Wu: "Since that's the case, go back and tell your wife and young lady that I will not have dinner at home, I'm afraid I will come back later." After that, he turned back and headed for Qianhu House in Dongcheng.

The entire Thousand Houses in Neidongcheng were like facing a great enemy at this time. Now it was the time to pay the deposit. In the past, at most a few people stayed here for night. However, it seems that no one left today, and even a few hundred houses came from all over the place.

As soon as Hao Fenglou appeared, everyone had a backbone, led by Zhou Sili, and came over in unison: "I am so humble to see Lord Qianhu."

Hao Fenglou has been in office for a long time now. Although he is young, he knows how to hide it. He is not in a hurry to ask what happened, but just nodded to everyone with his hands behind his back. Then everyone automatically separates the road and lets Hao Fenglou pass.

When I arrived at the long-lost pay-off room, although Hao Fenglou was not there, there were people cleaning it every day, and it was spotless.

Hao Fenglou sat down. Zhou Sili and Baihu had arrived, and no one said anything. However, his face was not good-looking.

Hao Fenglou looked around them and said, "What happened? What happened to Zeng Jian? Could it be that guy who is causing trouble again?"

He was a little sorry for Zeng Jian and Hao Fenglou. This guy is good at everything, has abilities and responsibilities, and is also very hardworking. He likes to cause trouble. When he walks on the street, others stare at him and he will fight with others. It would be fine if he is in other places, but this is Nanjing City. How many nobles and officials in Nanjing City have provoked people they shouldn't be offended. With a hundred households, the future deputy thousand households, even if they are Jinyiwei, they may not be able to protect him.

Zhou Sili had no choice but to stand up and said, "This time it was not Zeng Baihu that caused trouble, but Beizhen Prefecture issued a note to ask Zeng Baihu to perform official duties. Who knew something went wrong?"

Hao Fenglou then breathed a sigh of relief. It wouldn't matter if it was official business. After all, it was under the name of the Jinyiwei. No matter what happened, there would be personal troops to support him later. Even if he provoked great people, some people would take responsibility.

But when Hao Fenglou knew the whole story, he realized that this time it seemed that Zeng Jian was not very lucky.

This naturally starts with the Beizhen Prefecture Department. The Beizhen Prefecture Department could not find anyone from the Ministry of Revenue. The criminal Zhu Chang hid in the Ministry of Revenue and refused to come out. As a result, he could not pay the person's households back and forth. In the end, the job fell on the Thousand Households in Dongcheng.

After receiving the official document, Zeng Jiannao took the people to the Ministry of Revenue without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, the other party spread his hands and Zhu Chang left.

It turned out that Zhu Chang knew that hiding in the Ministry of Revenue was not a problem, so someone gave him an idea and asked him to go to Wenchang Courtyard.

This Wenchang Academy is one of the famous academies in Nanjing. Because it relies on the Imperial College, it is called the Little Imperial College. It was founded in the Jianwen period. At the beginning of the Jianwen period, the Imperial College gradually became less popular. The reason for not being popular was very simple. When Emperor Taizu killed officials like a scattered person, since the official had been peeled, someone would naturally have to replace him. If it were just a three-year imperial examination to select scholars, how could there be so many people? In the end, Emperor Taizu naturally turned his attention to the Imperial College, and thus, various obscene phenomena occurred. The minister of a certain department was slaughtered. The next day, a paper was appointed to the Imperial College, and then a student of the Imperial College was pulled out - taking office.

It's ridiculous to say that the officials at the level of ministers are already considered to be high-ranking officials in the court, but they directly let a prison student take over. At this moment, the Imperial College became very popular.

Although everyone is afraid of being an official of Taizu, everyone wants to be an official. Under this ambivalent mentality, those who become officials want to hang their seals and leave. Anyway, they have become officials and have qualifications. When they return to their hometown, they can be considered as retired officials, and they can be considered as returning home in luxury. Everyone is respected in the local area. However, those who have not become officials are eager to be an official. Even if you say that the risk of becoming an official is high, everyone wants an official, so the Imperial College is almost regarded as a shortcut to becoming an official.

At that time, the Imperial College was very lively, and countless people came in. At its peak, the number of people exceeded 10,000.

But when it comes to Jianwen, no longer killing officials, and there are no vacancy. Even those who are serious in imperial examinations may not be able to elect a senior official. Most of them are stuck in various departments to observe politics, so there is no place for your Imperial College.

Everyone's enthusiasm for entering the Imperial College gradually faded, many people retreated, and many people tragically discovered that they had been struggling for so long, and things had returned to the starting point. It turned out that if they wanted to be an official, they still had to take the exam.

The Imperial College is a mixture of dragons and snakes. Many people are unwilling to study. Those who want to make progress have also withdrawn from preparing for the imperial examinations and want to gain fame. Under this background, Wenchang Academy came into being. Eight out of ten scholars here are students of the Imperial College, even the teachers who teach, and most of them are figures in the Imperial College. Everyone is working hard to review their homework here and only read the books of sages. After several imperial examinations, the academy has good luck. Many people have been awarded the titles, which makes people even more popular and has become a holy place for scholars in Beijing.

This is not only a place for reading, but also the birthplace of clean discussions. As scholars come together, they can’t help but discuss some things in the temple. Which adults are romantic, which adults are not elegant, and which bachelor’s memorials are inappropriate, are their goals for discussion. In fact, the gentlemen who teach the lectures are left alone and let them go.

Over time, these people naturally began to guide public opinion.

This time, Zhu Chang impeached Hao Fenglou and opposed the adoption, which was already acclaim from Wenchang Academy. The Jinyiwei took the driver's post and immediately made the scholars in Wenchang Academy angry.

It’s outrageous. You speak up for justice. It’s okay if you don’t listen to advice. You’ll even take people. Is there any law of the king? Where is the imperial prison? When people enter, they must become ghosts before they can come out. Lord Zhu will definitely die.

Wenchang Academy was like a blowout, everyone was making noise, and no one was interested in learning.

Some people suggested that they would go to the Criminal Department and beat the corrupt Ministry of Justice to death. Some people said that this must be among the Hanlin masters, and that a villain must be found. Some even said bluntly that the root of the problem must be in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Their various speculations have caused the whole capital to become nervous. Adults care about Qingming, especially Qinggui, Bachelor, Hanlin, and Jushi. No one wants to be splashed with dirty water and eventually become the target of public criticism. Scholars need not only face, but reputation is extremely important. Especially for high-ranking people, they will be ridiculed by scholars all day long without reputation. They will become infamous. In no time, they will become infamous. Some people even want to get a name straight, but they may be willing to sacrifice themselves. They impeach you for countless crimes and finally win the applause of scholars all over the world. No matter how thick-skinned you are, you cannot continue to stay and must resign.

Therefore, many ministers involved were in the process of self-clearance. Either they secretly invited some disciples to guide public opinion, or they could reveal some news that it was said that when a certain master heard about this, he did not want to eat or not, and he deliberately wrote a letter to ask the palace to take it back.

Li Zhigang, the Minister of Revenue, gave Zhu Chang his advice, saying that if he wanted to live, he could only enter Wenchang Academy. After all, the Ministry of Revenue is a yamen. How could the yamen resist the personal army? If there was another order, the personal army rushed in to get people, I am afraid that no one could stop it. Only Wenchang Academy is different. Wenchang Academy has more than 700 scholars, all of whom are full of energy and will never allow the Jinyiwei to go in and get people. If the Jinyiwei is strong, they will definitely resist to the death.

This academy was originally the object of care for the officials in the court, and everyone wanted to gain a reputation for caring for the backwards. Therefore, if the Jinyiwei dared to take action, the world would immediately shock, from the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, various departments, to the imperial envoys and censors, and the ordinary officials in the capital would jump up and make trouble to the point of never stopping.

"Even...even the East Palace... I'm afraid I won't sit idly by... I think you understand the relationship here. I can only click on it and stop it. What should I do? Just think about it yourself."

Li Zhigang's cunning smile left a deep impression on Zhu Chang. He quickly understood the truth. Without saying a word, he took advantage of the Jinyiwei outside and hurriedly hurriedly hid to Wenchang Academy.

Zeng Jian didn't know the joints, but he cheered in his heart. He thought that people were not in the Ministry of Revenue and would have less trouble and saved them from taking people in the yamen, so he took people directly to Wenchang Academy.

Who knew that when I arrived at the academy, I had just claimed my name. Then when the door opened, countless scholars with ferocious faces rushed out with stools, sticks, rakes and other things.

Zeng Baihu was injured again, and his face was beyond recognition.
