Chapter 48: Why beat people
"Fighting up!" Ji Gang was speechless. He had already realized something and felt that someone had already set up a trap here. To this day, Ji Gang had roughly had a contour. Instead, he was not anxious, but looked at him coldly.
After a while, someone came. Hao Fenglou was wearing a fish suit and an embroidered spring sword was slung around his waist. This fish suit was not what he usually called the imperial fish suit. He was so heroic that he walked as fast as the wind. More than thirty lieutenants behind him were also following him, one by one.
"Who is so bold that the emperor dares to fight at his feet. Come and take down all the actions."
Hao Fenglou was upright and pointed at him. The general flag Zeng Jian rolled his eyes and whispered in his heart: "You said it well." Zeng Jian is a man who has been through a long battle formation. Hao Fenglou is talking, but he relies on brute force and immediately pulled out two people from it like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep. One was Zhang Mao and the other was the second generation ancestor.
Hao Fenglou waved his hand: "Take it away!"
So the lieutenants rushed the two of them again and left.
The scholars and young men under the high platform were stunned. Some were concerned about the safety of the two, while others were just joining in the fun, and they couldn't help but follow the crowds and follow these lieutenants.
…………………………………………………
The Jinyiwei Hundred Houses of Donghuamen Jinyiwei was particularly lively today. First, the lieutenants took two people in. Before the butt was hot, they were surrounded by people outside.
Someone shouted: "The official has taken the person."
Some people also shouted: "Scholars beat people."
The crowd was in a state of great enthusiasm. While gritting their teeth, they insisted that the Jinyiwei release the person immediately. On the other hand, they also shouted that they would be dissatisfied and severely punished Zhang Mao, who was beaten.
Zhang Mao was taken into the Jinyiwei Yamen, and he was not afraid at all. The only thing he was depressed was that a "political incident" that criticized the mutiny and scolded the enemy eventually turned into an ordinary public security incident, and all the plans were in vain. Zhang Mao was a little anxious.
But if he was nervous, it would be an exaggeration. He was a scholar with fame and fortune, a backbone of many academic and poetry clubs, and he met many imperial officials. Some people could scare the small characters in the small yamen of the Jinyiwei. Perhaps the commander of the Jinyiwei was even more afraid, so Zhang Mao didn't take this small yamen seriously at all.
He was taken to the main hall, Hao Fenglou was promoted to the base, and the second generation ancestor under the hall could not tell what kind of yamen this was, and then he began to shout for injustice: "It's unfair, Zhang Tao, the young master of Chengxiang Silk Shop in the city, came to join in the fun today, but was slapped a few times without saying anything. The villain was dissatisfied and fought a few words. This guy took a group of people to beat the villain into this way. The adults wanted to make the decision for the villain..."
Hao Fenglou felt funny in his heart, thinking that I am not Master Qingtian, and this guy probably admitted his mistake in the yamen. He hurriedly suppressed his hands: "First be quiet, I will make a clear decision."
Hao Fenglou said to Zhang Mao: "Who are you and why did you beat him?"
Zhang Mao stood sternly, his nostrils facing the sky, and he didn't even look at Hao Fenglou.
Zeng Jianhuo, who was standing aside, was angrily: "Are you deaf? Didn't my elder hear what he said?"
Zhang Maofeng said calmly: "I am a student at Linzi Prefecture, Shandong Province. In the second year of Jianwen, he was recommended to the Imperial College for study. Even when he arrived in Yingtian Prefecture, he had a place for Imperial College."
Hao Fenglou had no choice but to say, "Come on, bring him a stool."
Someone brought a stool, and Zhang Mao sat down, crossed his legs, with a mocking look on his face. The so-called punishment cannot be punished by the doctor, and etiquette cannot be compared to the common people. No matter what lawsuit is, as long as he arrives at the yamen, the difference between the doctor and the common people will be clear at a glance, and even the momentum must be stronger.
Hao Fenglou asked: "Can you answer now? Why do you want to hit someone?"
Zhang Mao said coldly: "Because it should be beaten."
Hao Fenglou was both angry and funny: "What is this allusion?"
Zhang Mao sneered: "Because they have bad intentions."
Hao Fenglou did not defend him, but went to see the second-generation ancestor Zhang Tao: "He said you are bad-hearted, what do you say?"
Zhang Tao shouted injustice: "The villain is just joining in the fun. This person will beat him as soon as he says he will be accused of the villain of bad intentions. There is a misconduct for villain, but he dare not take the four words "bad intentions".
Zhang Mao suddenly stood up and said righteously: "Hmph, it's just a nest of snakes and rats. I'm too lazy to talk to you here. This is just the Jinyiwei Yamen. Even if I beat someone, I should have to take charge of Zheng Zheng and Yingtian Mansion. Zhang has something to do, so I'll say goodbye." After that, he stood up and looked unwilling to accompany him.
All the people in the hundred households were shocked. They hired an old man.
In fact, this is normal. During the Jianwen period, scholars were well treated and were not easy to provoke. What's more, Zhang Mao was not an ordinary scholar, so there was naturally an unknown protective umbrella behind him.
Many people outside had already broken through the yard and surrounded the hall. Many scholars applauded Zhang Mao when he saw that he was so tough.
Zhang Mao ignored it and raised his legs and wanted to leave.
General Banner Wu Tao was anxious and couldn't help but stop him.
Zhang Mao looked at him contemptuously and shouted with a stern and righteous manner: "What, what do you want to do?"
Wu Tao was startled and shrank back obediently.
Faced with such a move, Hao Fenglou was speechless. He originally thought that the signature of the Jinyiwei was afraid of everyone, but who knew that the reconstruction of the Jinyiwei would have no deterrent effect at all.
Now that things have come, Hao Fenglou said coldly: "Come on, take him down!"
Several lieutenants hesitated whether to take action, looked at each other in a glance. The main problem of Hao Fenglou's new official taking office was exposed. He did not have enough prestige and could not let them obey orders.
Hao Fenglou looked at Zeng Jian: "Are you afraid of Mr. Zeng?"
Now, I can only provoke it.
Zeng Jian's body was shocked, and he stepped forward in three or two steps, and grabbed Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao shouted: "I am a student of the Imperial College!"
Hao Fenglou was not polite and sneered: "The prince committed the law and the common people's crimes. You beat the kind Zhang Tao for no reason. The evidence is conclusive and the matter is clear. At this time, do you still want to rely on privileges to escape from the crime? Open your eyes and see where this is, this is the Jinyiwei, not the academic government or Yingtian Mansion. It's not your turn to be arrogant. Come on, just hold your mouth twenty first!"
Zeng Jian was going to shoot his bow left and right.
Zhang Mao said sternly: "I am the disciple of the Censor Liu Kang who secretly investigated the censor!"
Hao Fenglou was eager to try, leaned forward, rolled up his sleeves and said, "That's even more important. I don't know any of the people from the Censorate! Do you think I'm easy to bully if you use someone you haven't heard of? Zeng Zongqi, do it!"
Zeng Jian was a fool, so he grabbed Zhang Mao's back collar, then grabbed a board, and slapped Zhang Mao's mouth.
Slap...
In just a few strokes, Zhang Mao's mouth was covered in blood. The scholars outside the hall were as if they were lost. They all said angrily: "Why dare to hit people?" "Bullying scholars." "Is this the officials and the people going to rebel?"
Hao Fenglou was indifferent.
Ji Gang in the crowd was full of doubts. This guy was really fighting. Aren’t he afraid of causing trouble? Scholars are a very sensitive group. If you beat one, it is very likely to attract all scholars to scold them. It would be okay if Ji Gang made such a decision. He was the commander, so he was not afraid of this pressure. But Hao Fenglou is just a small household, so he dares to be so bold?
