The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

After everyone upstairs heard the roar, they soon heard a heavy sound coming from the stairs, and then a majestic man in a long gown appeared at the top of the stairs.

Most of the gentlemen upstairs saw Lin Tailai for the first time. Suddenly, they felt that Lin Tailai could block the entire stairwell by himself, how strong he was!

Lin Tailai glanced around under the light and found that no one at the table knew anyone except Gu Xiancheng and An Xifan.

Those who can have a banquet with Gu Xiancheng are probably from the Qingliu influence.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, there was no Donglin Party in the political landscape, but there was Qingliu, which prided itself on "integrity".

In a sense, the Qingliu forces can also be regarded as the predecessor of the Donglin Party, headed by Shen Li, the current Minister of Rites.

Putting aside historical facts, from a purely personal perspective, Lin Tailai's attitude towards most historical figures, including Qingliu, is actually "neither good nor disgusting, and some are good and some are malicious."

Unless there are some extremely good or bad characters, Lin Tailai has no distinction between likes and dislikes in his heart.

I will not decide my likes and dislikes based on the praise and criticism in later books and on the Internet.

In the eyes of time travellers, who can live without historical limitations? Who can be without faults and problems?

Therefore, what ultimately determines Lin Tailai's attitude is the attitude and stance of these historical figures towards Lin Tailai.

Only those who travel through time represent the advanced direction, and those who are willing to move closer are tools worth using.

Lin Tailai suppressed his reverie about the Qingliu forces, looked at An Xifan, and shouted: "I will give you dignity and let you go, my intention is to let you go back and reflect on yourself!

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, you would come here again to drink and have fun, without any intention of introspection!

Regarding this new situation, I will add it to the registration and submit it to Haizhong Cheng! "

An Xifan angrily shouted, "You, Lin Tailai, are not done yet, are you?"

Gu Xiancheng stopped his disciple An Xifan and said, "I will explain it to Haizhong Cheng on my own. You don't need to keep talking here."

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from downstairs: "Official! Something happened. All the detained soldiers over there have escaped!"

Then he reported in detail: "You left two sergeants to guard there, but the detained soldiers saw that there were few guards, so they suddenly took action based on their status!

But the two sergeants didn't dare to fight back and couldn't stop them, so they let all the soldiers run away! "

Lin Tailai patted the handrail of the stairs and said angrily: "They are all trash! They can't even be guarded by a few people! Let me go and see!"

Then he turned around and went down the stairs and left Lanyue Building.

Gu Xiancheng was puzzled. What on earth was Lin Tailai doing?

Before he even exerted any effort, Lin Tailai left so neatly, which didn't look like Lin Tailai's stalking style.

However, it is always a good thing for the detained scholars to escape, so as not to remain as hostages in Lin Tailai's hands.

Li Sancai smiled and said: "This Lin Tailai is really stupid, he only left two sergeants to guard him.

If a smart student encounters this situation, he will definitely fight it out! "

Anyone with social experience knows that if they were not in a special facility like a prison cell, how could two sergeants who dared not fight back even after being beaten watch five or six scholars?

Gu Xiancheng, who was still thinking about Lin Tailai's words, turned to look at An Xifan and comforted him kindly: "It's okay."

An Xifan saluted with a wink and said, "It all depends on the teacher's blessing!"

Gu Xiancheng smiled kindly and said: "But for the sake of the overall situation, I want to lend you a hand. I hope you have the loyalty to sacrifice your life for charity."

An Xifan: "."

Suddenly I regretted looking for a teacher. Maybe it would be better to be detained by Lin Tailai!

The next day, Lin Tailai went north to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to report to Hai Rui on the major results of the first phase of the work.

When Lin Tailai was standing in the vestibule waiting for Hai Rui to ascend to the church, carrying a large bamboo basket on his back, three more people suddenly came in.

There were two people I met last night, Gu Xiancheng and his student An Xifan.

At this time, An Xifan looked listless and staggered, following his teacher Gu Xiancheng.

Moreover, An Xifan's hands were tied behind his back, and his clothes had many tatters and holes, making him look like a personal criminal.

In Lin Tailai's eyes, he was secretly surprised, this Gu Xiancheng was really a ruthless person! This is obviously to temporarily sacrifice An Xifan and play the trick of "asking for forgiveness"!

As for the third person who came in with Gu Xiancheng and An Xifan, he was an old man wearing a second-grade official uniform.

Lin Tailai was also surprised by this. This old man was of the same rank as Hai Rui. Why would he condescend to come here to "see" him?

This is very inconsistent with the Ming Dynasty official etiquette and customs, and can even be said to be very abnormal.

Just when Lin Tailai was confused, Hai Rui came to the court.

At this time, the people who came to visit Hai Rui were all brought into the court.

This is also a characteristic of Hai Rui. During office hours, he only meets guests in court and avoids any private exchanges.

It wasn't until Hai Rui met the second-grade old man in court that Lin Tailai knew who this old man was.

It turned out that this person was Bi Qiang, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. Hai Rui recommended Bi Qiang back then, so Bi Qiang was willing to bow before Hai Rui.

At the same time, Lin Tailai also guessed that as one of the few officials who had "friendship" with Hai Rui, Bi Qiang was invited by Gu Xiancheng to help.

Hai Rui is a person who pays great attention to etiquette. When he comes to court, he speaks in order of status.

So Gu Xiancheng was able to speak before Lin Tailai came. He pushed out An Xifan and said to Hai Rui:

"My evil disciple An Xifan violated Dazhong Cheng's ban last night and was caught on the spot by Lin Sheng.

Today I tied up the evildoer and came to plead guilty to Dazhong Cheng in person! "

Hai Rui asked Lin Tailai, "Is this possible?"

Lin Tailai replied sarcastically: "Not only An Xifan, but also several other people were seized at the same time, most of whom were scholars from Wuxi County!

But Mr. Gu only pushed An Xifan to plead guilty, and he had the demeanor of losing his car to protect his commander. "

Gu Xiancheng immediately explained: "The party was initiated by An Xifan, and all the prostitutes during the banquet were invited by An Xifan.

The rest of the scholars just couldn't shirk it due to human feelings, so I, the evildoer, can bear all the blame and don't want to implicate others. "

Gu Xiancheng's confidence in saying this is that you, Lin Tailai, can't even catch anyone, and most of the "criminals" don't know who they are.

So it wasn't for him, Gu Xiancheng, to explain casually and just say whatever he said.

The old minister Bi Qiang, who was over seventy years old, showed an admiring look and said at this time:

"Although An Sheng is Gu Jingyang's beloved disciple, Gu Jingyang does not bend the law because of his teachers and students, and resolutely pleads guilty to him as the principal criminal. This is truly selfless!"

Hai Rui nodded slightly and said, "It's true, it deserves praise."

Lin Tailai suddenly realized that Gu Xiancheng's main purpose was to win Hai Rui's favor in this way.

Hai Rui definitely likes people who are selfless, and Gu Xiancheng thought of playing along with them.

Seeing this, Lin Daguan knew that he could no longer remain silent at this moment.

He quickly made a mental calculation and said to Bi Qiang: "Does the Heavenly Official want to speak to Mr. Gu?"

Bi Qiang responded seriously: "I'm not talking to anyone, I'm just telling the facts I saw."

Old Man Bi was not being hypocritical. He truly recognized Gu Xiancheng's integrity. There were many such people in the court.

Therefore, Bi Qiang sincerely recommended Gu Xiancheng to Hai Rui. In his eyes, Hai Rui and Gu Xiancheng were officials of similar quality.

Lin Tailai said to Hai Rui again: "Except for An Xifan, all the illegal scholars caught yesterday should have been given a higher level of punishment."

Gu Xiancheng pleaded for mercy and said: "The situation was unclear at the time, and fleeing was an instinct in panic.

Considering that all the scholars are candidates, I hope that minor mistakes will not affect the major events of the examination. "

Hai Rui was weighing in his mind how to deal with it properly.

But then I heard Lin Tailai say abruptly: "If Mr. Gu insists that having sex with prostitutes is a small mistake, then I will talk about the other mistakes of these people who escaped."

Gu Xiancheng asked inexplicably: "What other mistakes are there?"

I heard that there is a magical art called "Mo Xuyou" in the world. Have you, Lin Tailai, learned it?

Lin Tailai said quietly: "At that time, I sent two sergeants to stay at the scene to guard those soldiers.

But he was worried that the number of sergeants was too weak to deter the scholars, so he left the two-sided official badge of Haizhong Cheng at the gate of the scene to suppress the situation.

Unexpectedly, when those scholars escaped, they knocked Haizhong Cheng's official badge to the ground, and then they all trampled on Haizhong Cheng's official badge and escaped from the courtyard! "

Gu Xiancheng: "."

This horse-riding guy is outrageous! His mind was completely confused, and he could no longer express his feelings in words.

At this time, Lin Tailai moved in the extra large bamboo basket placed outside the court hall, and then opened the lid.

Everyone looked into the bamboo basket and saw a pile of broken wood chips inside, some of which still had golden strokes on them.

Lin Tailai said sadly: "This is the two-sided official badge lent to me by Haizhong Cheng, but last night, it was trampled and broken by those disobedient Wuxi scholars."

After a pause, Lin Daguan said in pain: "I didn't keep Haizhong Cheng's official badge well, so I'm equally guilty!"

Gu Xiancheng: "."

No wonder Lin Tailai seemed stupid last night and only sent two people to guard all the detained scholars. It turned out that this was a trap!

It's even possible that he deliberately lowered his guard to induce others to escape!

Still don’t know how to speak! There is nothing more that can be explained!

He couldn't tell Hai Rui that it was just a few official cards, it didn't matter, if it was trampled to pieces, it was trampled to pieces, it was not a big deal.

So at this moment, he has lost the right to defend and excuse!

If you see Hai Rui sympathizing with the people and think that Hai Rui is an approachable and informal person, you would be totally wrong.

On the contrary, Hai Rui is a person who pays great attention to etiquette. Otherwise, people would not have made up the story about Hai Rui starving his daughter to death.

In the officialdom, Hai Rui also attaches great importance to the order of hierarchy. If his subordinates see Hai Rui in violation of etiquette and law, they will be reprimanded and punished.

The official badge that represents the dignity of an official has been trampled to pieces. Whether intentional or not, this is an act that should not be forgiven.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Hai Rui, but they saw that Hai Rui was also shocked.

There is absolutely no precedent to learn from in decades of experience in politics. How should we deal with this kind of thing?

Is Lin Tailai a poisonous person? Why do he always bring up such unprecedented problems?

At this moment, everyone else was temporarily speechless, and Lin Tailai took the opportunity to speak again:

“The original intention of coming to the hospital today is to report on the current status of the rectification work.

Since I was appointed, most of the criminals seized are Wuxi scholars, which is a typical example. "

"What nonsense! Confusing right and wrong!" Gu Xiancheng shouted intolerably.

What does it mean that most of them are Wuxi scholars? You just deliberately targeted the Wuxi scholars last night!

Then you, Lin Tailai, dare to say that most of those arrested for violating the ban were Wuxi scholars? Could your sample be smaller?

Lin Tailai ignored Gu Xiancheng and continued to report: "This situation can't help but cause me to think deeply.

It is said that Mr. Gu took leave and returned to Wuxi to give lectures. He has been teaching in Wuxi County for two years. It can be said that all the scholars in Wuxi County have received Mr. Gu's teachings.

Is this the final result? These Wuxi scholars collectively broke the ban on prostitution and trampled on the official title of Dazhong Cheng. I wonder what Master Gu was talking about in his lecture?

As a recognized leader of scholars in Wuxi County, I have taught scholars in Wuxi County for two years. I believe that Mr. Gu should be responsible for the chaos among scholars in Wuxi. "

Bi Shangshu who was standing next to him couldn't stand listening anymore and couldn't help but said again: "This is really unfair, how can Gu Jingyang be held responsible?

Just because they all listened to Gu Jingyang's lectures, they can't hold Gu Jingyang responsible for joint and several liability?

If a person kills someone with a knife, should the blacksmith who made the knife be held accountable? "

Lin Tailai didn't take it seriously and didn't even bother to refute. He only asked:

"Then according to what Heavenly Official said, Master Gu has nothing to do with these Wuxi scholars?"

Even Bi Laoshangshu could tell that something was wrong, and he quickly added: "You can't say it like that, it still has something to do with it."

Lin Tailai carried forward the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and did not argue with the seventy-year-old Tianguan. He asked Xiang Gu Xiancheng himself:

"Then tell yourself, are you related to the Wuxi scholars or not?

You know what I mean, don't say that just knowing each other counts as a relationship. "

Gu Xiancheng once again found that he had lost the qualification to speak.

This question made him very hesitant and entangled, because no matter how he answered it, he was wrong, and there seemed to be no correct answer.

If you say that you have a relationship with Wuxi scholars, then you will be jointly responsible!

If you say that you have nothing to do with Wuxi scholars, how can you have the dignity to see your fellow villagers again in the future? Why do you think you are the leader of Wuxi Shilin?

Lin Tailai said to Gu Xiancheng again: "If you can't even think clearly about this issue, then what position do you have to intervene in law enforcement?

What position do you have to apologize for here? What other positions can be explained to the rest of the scholars?

Because this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, you have no position to speak out for this matter! "

In the end, Lin Tailai said very heart-wrenchingly: "As for why I can't answer the question, it's because I have too many selfish thoughts.

A truly selfless person will not get entangled in this issue. "

Rather than speaking to Gu Xiancheng, Lin Tailai was speaking to Hai Rui.

Hai Qingtian, don't be fooled. The clear stream advertised by the surname Gu is not the same thing as you, Hai Qingtian!
