The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

It should be said that An Xifan's idea has a certain basis, and it is not wrong to think this way under normal circumstances.

Nowadays, a scholar is considered a "scholar" and has some of the most rudimentary political privileges in the local area. There are two main points. One is that the sentence cannot be increased, and the other is that the person cannot be imprisoned casually.

If the government wants to punish a scholar, it must first ask the academic official to deprive the person of his fame and honor, and then treat him as a normal criminal.

Facing the tough-talking An Xiucai, Lin Tailai laughed "hehehehe" a few times: "Why are you telling me this? It's not what I want to do to you!

I'm just patrolling the Qinhuai River area for Haizhong Cheng. How to deal with you is Haizhong Cheng's business! "

It would be a joke to say that a Youdu censor in charge of legal and discipline supervision could not cure a scholar.

Of course, for the sake of good reputation, high-ranking officials like this generally would not directly punish scholars. This is an unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty.

But Hai Rui is obviously not an ordinary person. Last year, he even wrote a letter calling for the reinstatement of "peeling off the skin and making the grass work", and directly punished Nanjing officials who violated disciplines.

This is Hai Qingtian, who doesn't show dignity to officials, let alone scholars who violate the ban.

An Xifan suddenly panicked. Only then did the young man realize that this was not Wuxi County, and he was not facing the government, but the selfless and severe Hai Rui!

Lin Tailai snickered, Hai Rui's signboard was simply not very useful, how could anyone else have such a deterrent effect?

At the same time, he waved to the beauties who were invited and said magnanimously:

"You guys have made this your career, and I can't blame you. You go ahead!"

Those beauties felt as if they had received an amnesty. They were very grateful and thanked her profusely. They hurried out and left this and wrong place.

Then Lin Tailai ordered Mo Xiren: "Get a pen and paper! Start registering names!"

Lin Tailai was not qualified to detain scholars, so all he could do was register his name and report it.

After Mo Xiren prepared pen and paper, Lin Tailai pointed at An Xifan and said:

"The first one I know, please remember it! His name is An Xifan, Wuxi County Student Affairs Bureau, teacher Gu Xiancheng. On the night of July 29th, he violated the prohibition of having sex with a prostitute. He is suspected of planning to stay in prostitution!"

An Xifan jumped up and said angrily: "I work alone, what does it have to do with others? Why is Mr. Gu's name even registered?"

Lin Tailai smiled and said: "You are such a respectful teacher! But I don't need your guidance on how to do things. If you dare to talk nonsense, you will also register your parents!"

An Xifan: "."

Then Lin Tailai said to the other people: "You are probably all Wuxi scholars, but I don't know you. You should take the initiative to state your names!"

But everyone was silent, no one said a word. Lin Tailai couldn't do anything to these scholars directly, so it was a fool who claimed his family status.

Lin Tailai then said to the man who called himself Yixing Zhang Nabi: "I thought about it, and the things in Wuxi have nothing to do with you, a Yixing native.

Just name them and you're good to go! "

But Zhang Nabi also remained silent. If he betrayed his fellow Taoists directly in this way, he would not be able to hang out in the Taoism in the future.

Mo Xiren, who was in charge of the registration, thought to himself that Lin Daguan was also a wise man, and he would surely make mistakes after all his considerations.

If you want to know the origins of these people's names, you shouldn't have let those beauties go just now. Maybe you can ask about the situation from those beauties.

But Lin Tailai didn't seem to realize the problem, and said to An Xifan:

"What do you think of giving you a chance to prove your guilt and identify a few of them?"

An Xifan scolded without hesitation: "Don't even think about it!"

Even the people from Yixing next door have not betrayed him, so he, a Wuxi native, cannot betray his comrades in this county.

Lin Tailai seemed a little angry, "Don't tell me? Then just spend it here!"

Then he said to An Xifan: "You can get out! Others who don't want to give their names will stay!"

An Xifan did not hesitate, saluted the other scholars, and walked out.

There is no use staying here, running outside to rescue is what you should do.

But An Xifan, who was in a hurry, didn't notice that there were two locals with ordinary looks and familiar roads, following him leisurely.

In the past two months, most of the literati gatherings have been on both sides of the Qinhuai River in the city, not too far away.

An Xifan crossed the river from Wuding Bridge and went directly to a restaurant along the river with a great view on the northeast bank of the Qinhuai River. The plaque had the three words "Lanyue Tower" written by Gu Dongqiao, a famous Jinling scholar at that time.

The elegant room on the second floor faces the river view, and the windows are all open. It is extremely cool. Many people sit and chat with their wine in the wind.

Present here are Gu Xiancheng, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, Li Sancai, a doctor in the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Zou Yuanbiao, a foreign doctor in the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel, Wei Yunzhen, the right official in Nanjing, and Li Hualong, the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry.

Li Sancai smiled and said: "Gu Jun has been in Nanjing for several days, and today he finally took the time to meet with us."

Gu Xiancheng replied: "I have been composing the preface to a collection of poems for Hai Zhongcheng for the past two days, and I really have no time to think about anything else."

Li Hualong, a good friend who was pulled over by Li Sancai and director of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, was surprised: "Hai Zhongcheng is going to publish a collection of poems? Will he use Gu Jun's article as a preface?"

Gu Xiancheng replied again: "I have asked Bi Tianguan of the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs to submit it on my behalf. It must not be a big problem."

Although Hai Rui was withdrawn and self-conscious, and seemed to have no friends at all, he was not without any favors.

Bi Qiang and Bi Tianguan, who was the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing at that time, was one of the people who could talk to Hai Rui.

When Hai Rui was the governor of Jiangnan, Bi Qiang was the governor of Yingtian Mansion. At that time, Hai Rui admired Bi Qiang very much and recommended Bi Qiang to be promoted to minister.

With Bi Qiang helping to introduce him and Gu Xiancheng's reputation for integrity, Hai Rui had no reason not to use him.

All the comrades felt that Gu Xiancheng was so sure and had a good reputation.

After that, he would gather the crowd to give lectures several times and promote the true Confucianism. Gu Xiancheng's visit to Nanjing would be another great success in terms of fame.

But Zou Yuanbiao, who was one of the Three Kings of Donglin along with Gu Xiancheng in history, was worried at this time and asked:

"Have you heard anything about what happened in Changbanqiao today?"

This means that Lin Tailai forced Fang Tixue to ask the name of Gu Xiancheng, the man behind the scenes.

Gu Xiancheng sighed: "It's just a plan that failed, but it's a pity. Who would have thought that Lin Sheng turned out to be a martial arts student!"

Originally, Gu Xiancheng's plan was very good. He asked Tixue Guanfanghuan to capture Lin Tailai and eliminate the evil spirits.

Then he established a good relationship with Hai Rui, replaced Lin Tailai, and obtained the power of the "Anti-Pornography Office" from Hai Rui.

Gu Xiancheng wanted this power in his heart because he also saw the huge "potential" of this power in terms of publicity.

Only someone with his acumen and passion for publicity could have discovered this opportunity.

It is a waste of resources to have this power in the hands of a small person.

It's just a pity that who would have thought that Lin Sheng, who debated scriptures with me and loved to write poems, would actually be a martial artist riding a horse!

This leads to the fact that asking Fang Tixue to take people has become the biggest failure, which is fundamentally wrong!

However, although Gu Xiancheng's plan was exposed, he still felt that there was no need to panic!

He didn't think that Lin Tailai had any ability to retaliate against himself, an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a backbone of the Qingliu Group.

So what if you have unrivaled martial arts skills? If Lin Tailai dared to touch one of his fingers, he would dare to let Lin Tailai be sent away for three thousand miles, and the chief assistant could not stop him!

So Gu Xiancheng didn't pay attention to Lin Tailai, but told Li Sancai another thing:

"By the way, we need your help at the Nanjing Imperial College."

The affairs of the Imperial College are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. As a fifth-rank doctor of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Li Sancai certainly has a great say in the Nanjing Imperial College.

After all, the Imperial College is the highest-level school in name. Gu Xiancheng wanted to give lectures at the Imperial College in Nanjing to expand his personal influence, which required Li Sancai to coordinate.

Li Sancai replied without hesitation: "I'll take care of it."

At this moment, An Xifan ran up the stairs in a panic and shouted: "Teacher! It's not good!"

Gu Xiancheng shouted: "What's going on?"

Tonight, their teachers and students belong to different circles. They are bureaucrats, and An Xifan's group is young scholars.

After An Xifan settled down, he replied: "I was having a banquet with some colleagues just now, but Na Lin Tailai detained me for having sex with a prostitute!"

Gu Xiancheng immediately asked: "Who is there?"

An Xifan replied: "There are also Zhou Jichang, Hua Shibiao, Du Weiyuan, Liu Chunren, Zhang Nabi and others!

Most of them are scholars from Wuxi, or from surrounding places such as Wujin and Yixing! "

Gu Xiancheng, who was very sensitive to the struggle, immediately realized that this was definitely a deliberate retaliation in the name of "rectifying the atmosphere"!

Lin Tailai was not strong enough and could not attack himself, so he used methods against these scholars from the same county!

Everyone knows that he, Gu Xiancheng, is the unique scholar leader in Wuxi County, so Lin Tailai brought people from the same county to him to lose face!

An Xifan said hurriedly: "They are all detained in the house on the other side of the river. Teacher, what do you think we should do?"

Gu Xiancheng scolded calmly: "Don't panic! Lin Tailai doesn't dare to do anything to them!"

Then he added: "What Lin Tailai relies on is just the reputation of Haizhong Cheng!

Tomorrow I will go to see Haizhong Cheng in person and directly cut off Lin Tailai's support from the top! "

An Xifan then went to the table to pay homage to several seniors and toasted with wine.

Seeing that An Xifan was in shock, Li Sancai comforted him and said, "Now I'm waiting in the dark, and Lin Tailai is waiting in the light. There will be no problem.

Lin Tailai didn't know Gu Jun's whereabouts at all, and he didn't know what Gu Jun's methods were. He couldn't change the world in Nanjing City! "

Before he finished speaking, a burst of noise suddenly came from downstairs. Everyone looked down from the windows and saw a dozen sergeants blocking the door of the building.

The leader was an extremely tall and majestic figure, but he was wearing a scholar's robe.

At this time, the strong man in a long gown raised his head towards the second floor window and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Is Gu Gong Xiancheng, the scholar leader of Wuxi County who protects prostitutes, a true Confucian scholar and a great scholar, upstairs?"

The sound was like thunder, which seemed to spread two miles along the silent Qinhuai River.

Gu Xiancheng had no expression on his face, looked at An Xifan and said, "Did you bring Lin Tailai here?"

An Xifan: "."

Only then did he understand why Lin Tailai let him go.

In the city of Nanjing, it was difficult for Lin Tailai to find Teacher Gu quickly!

I am responsible for all the sins in all directions! I was so sleepy last night that I fell asleep while writing this. This chapter is from yesterday, and there will be another chapter tonight.
