Chapter 229: Let the horse come
After hearing the whole story, Hao Fenglou could only smile bitterly.
During the Taizu period, scholars often had tails to behave, but after the Jianwen Dynasty, those scholars had already shown signs of domineeringness. Even after Fang Xiaoru was confiscated and exterminated his family, he was well aware of the principle of a big stick and a radish with the other hand. He beat the other person and immediately took out the carrots and fed them to the scholars.
These people were frightened for a while and suddenly found that the court had many measures to treat scholars with preferential treatment, so they gradually became bold and unrestrained.
The root of the problem is actually Zeng Jian. He didn't understand the truth and took action rashly. These scholars were already furious and complained and had nowhere to vent. Now that he found Wenchang Academy, he saw that you were few and did not blame the public. He would beat you if he didn't beat you.
Fortunately, several lieutenants who followed him were quick-witted and finally rescued Zeng Jian and ran away. Otherwise, Qingqing's life would have to be explained there.
But then, Hao Fenglou was also very annoyed and disagreeable. This was a businessman. These scholars dared to take action. If they were hitting people from other Qianhuyuan, Hao Fenglou wouldn't care. Anyway, the pain was not on his own, so he just regarded it as watching the fun. But now he was hitting people from Zeng Jian and the people from Dongcheng Qianhuyuan, the meaning was different.
Hao Fenglou sneered: "Where is Zeng Jian now?"
Zhou Sili said: "He has returned home to recuperate. He was injured by an arrow last time, but now he has added new injuries, causing an old disease, and half of his life has been lost."
Hao Fenglou took a deep breath and said, "Is that driver still there?"
Zhou Sili said: "I'm here."
Hao Fenglou pondered for a moment and said, "You have to take the pickup post and gather people. At least three or four hundred people are required. All the people in the shop are put down. Go to Wenchang Academy and surround Wenchang Academy first. Let's see what they dare. Zhu Chang must catch him. Since there is a pickup post, we just do things according to the rules and don't be afraid of anything."
Zhou Sili nodded and said, "The brothers in the institute are now full of righteous indignation. Don't worry. The students will make arrangements now. However... if there is a conflict, I'm afraid that it is inappropriate. After all, these people are all students and have fame and fortune..."
Hao Fenglou said, "You can surround me first, let's talk about the others."
Zhou Sili had no choice but to nod.
It will take some time to arrange personnel, and Hao Fenglou dared not be idle, so he took a few people to Zeng Jian's house.
It was a bit late at this time. The Zeng family was not far from the garage, and it was a yard with two entrances. There was also a fence wall outside, which was not high.
Hao Fenglou knocked on the door, but Mrs. Zeng came to open the door. Mrs. Zeng's eyes looked a little swollen. Seeing Hao Fenglou, she quickly saluted and welcomed Hao Fenglou and his men in, saying, "How could someone be beaten in such a good office? Didn't you say that the emperor's personal army? Hao Qianhu, my men respect you the most. They usually work for the garrison, so they must make decisions for him. In this way, they are beaten to death. This... This... How can office in the garrison be more dangerous than marching and fighting? I don't ask for anything else, but only seek peace and well..."
The inner room was brightly lit, and Mrs. Zeng's words were naturally inevitably transmitted. Zeng Jian roared: "What do you know, don't be fooled, please ask Hao Qianhu to come in and speak."
Mrs. Zeng did not dare to speak back, so she had to say, "Hao Qianhu, please go into the inner room to speak."
Hao Fenglou nodded, suddenly remembered something, and took out the silver that had been prepared long ago and said, "Some silver is the intention of brothers in Weizhong. I will take it to Zeng Jian to recover from his wounds. I have to invite a doctor to come, so I don't have to save any money."
After saying that, he left a few escorts outside, and Hao Fenglou lowered his body and lifted the curtain into the inner room.
Zeng Jian was indeed very injured, but most of it was a physical injury and was still in good spirits. He sat on the couch with a thick cushion behind him. When he saw Hao Fenglou, he smiled bitterly: "Sir, I came from afar, and I am humble and I cannot welcome you. I hope I will forgive you."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "When did you learn to be polite."
Zeng Jian sighed quietly and said, "I can't figure out many things in a humble way."
Hao Fenglou moved a chair and sat down, saying, "What's there to be something I don't understand."
Zeng Jian said: "The humble one is in Baigou, and he was involved in the vanguard camp of His Highness the King of Han, and charged in the battle. He encountered more than a dozen Southern Army soldiers, and tried his best to kill three of them, and they all broke out. After that, he always charged forward, and he didn't need to mention the dangers he encountered. Those Nanjing also had brave men, but in the eyes of the humble ones, why are the scholars in Nanjing ten times more vicious than the Southern Army? The grandsons raised them, and they didn't even say hello and carried things.
He smashed his head on Husband, his face was ferocious. Are they scholars? Husband, this is clearly a robber, damn, he has no shame to see people in the future. The emperor's personal army was beaten down by a group of scholars with no power. If it weren't for Zhou Qing's boy seeing the opportunity, he quickly ran away with me on his back, Husband would probably not be able to see adults today. These scholars are really crueler than the rioters. I really don't know what medicine they took, hey..."
Hao Fenglou wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh in front of Zeng Jian. He almost suffered internal injuries. He took a deep breath and looked sad and said, "This... I can't explain it clearly. In short, you should recuperate well. I will naturally take care of other things. Don't think about it. There are many strange things in this world."
Zeng Jian said with a grievance: "This life is impossible to pass. In the future, not only can we not raise our heads in front of our colleagues, but we also feel that it is not helpful in front of our wife."
Hao Fenglou knew that this was psychological trauma, so he had to comfort him and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just as time passes."
Zeng Jian had no choice but to sigh and said in grief: "Sir, don't pay attention to me. The more you pay attention to me, the more I feel ashamed. You should take care of yourself. You have to do everything you can, so there is no need to delay your hard work on humbleness."
Hao Fenglou sighed and had to stand up. Knowing that Zeng Jian was in a complicated mood, he said, "Healthy well, I have many things to rely on in the future." After that, he went out of the house and took his escorts to Wenchang Academy.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wenchang Academy has a small storefront and looks a bit petty. However, in a place like Nanjing City, it is very impressive to be able to build a college.
At this time, the lights were already on here. The lieutenants gathered around the place and everyone lit torches.
The scholars in Wenchang Academy did not disperse, and obviously knew that the Jinyiwei would take the next move, so they all stayed tacitly in the academy, with the gates closed and there were starry lights inside.
These scholars are smart. Last time, they had few people. They flocked out and showed their domineering spirit. But now they saw so many Jinyiwei coming out, everyone with their swords, all of them were like wolves and tigers, and they all settled down in the academy and kept their doors away.
But the inside was also tinkering, and many tables and chairs were taken, and stones were moved to block the door, obviously posing as a protracted battle.
When Hao Fenglou arrived, several hundred households gathered over. Zhou Sili took the lead and explained the situation. It was nothing more than saying that the driver's post had been sent in. Unfortunately, there was no movement inside. Obviously, they would not hand over Zhu Chang easily.
But in the face of such a situation, everyone has no choice but to do these people. The only thing they can do now is to wait and wait for these guys to change their minds.
Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and watched the movement, and couldn't help but say, "Call someone to scare me and tell them what happened to the imperial court."
Zhou Si Li nodded, stepped forward in person, and said at the top of his voice: "Listen, we are officials of the Thousand Households of the East City of Jinyiwei. Today, we are ordered by the Beizhenfu Office to come to Soona Qin's prisoner. Now we hand over the person, and we can still not blame him. Otherwise, it would be..."
Bang……
Suddenly, countless stones flew out from the wall and hit Zhou Sili. Zhou Sili sighed and hurriedly covered his face and retreated. Several lieutenants rushed forward to meet him.
The scholars in the wall immediately burst into laughter, and some people were actually very happy. Zhihuzhe also said: "There are only saints and loyal people here. I have never heard of Qin Jian. You and other hawks dare to make this happen..."
Another laughed and said, "Brother Zhao said nonsense to them? Are such a rough man worthy of talking about it?"
The captains outside were so angry that their noses were crooked.
Hao Fenglou seemed calm. In a sense, the reactions of these scholars were long as he expected. If he really wanted to be angry, there was nothing to be angry. I can only say that everyone has different positions.
He just listened to the words behind the wall, analyzed and calculated in his mind, and finally said, "Come on, bump into the door."
Dozens of lieutenants rushed forward without saying a word and wanted to push the door.
There seemed to be people inside, and there were quite a few people coming to the door. At the same time, countless flying stones flew out from behind the wall and hit the captain.
Hao Fenglou came forward in person, braved the stones, and several lieutenants rushed up to protect Hao Fenglou with shields. When they arrived at the door, Hao Fenglou kicked the door hard and said to the person behind the crack of the door: "Stop talking to me, I will give you twenty-four hours. If you don't give me a gift, I will teach you that there is no place to die. Don't blame me for being rude. Do you want to scold me, right? Even if you come and scold me, I'm Hao Fenglou. Haven't you always like to hurt people in secret arrows, and scold me behind my back? I'm here and let the horse come over!"
The scholar inside was like a burst of fire, and someone shouted: "It turns out it's this villain."
"A flattering villain who deceives superiors and hides from subordinates..."
