Chapter 463 What is righteousness
The Taoist examination and the scientific examination hosted by the Grand Master of the Tixue are divided according to the Tao, so that there will be no concentration of too many candidates at once, which is also conducive to management. Therefore, most of the scholars who came to take the provincial examination this time in Huizhou Prefecture are outstanding from the scientific examination, but only one of them has emerged through the recording of the records. In addition, everyone has lived in the Xin'an Guild Hall for so many days, so they are naturally familiar with him. Although Wang Fulin only participated in the provincial examination in this subject, he once stole the biggest limelight in the hero banquet of the top scholar building in Huizhou Prefecture City three years ago. Many of the scholars who participated in the first year of Wanli this year have participated in the previous provincial examination, and most of them know him.
Because of his understanding and understanding, he also knows some of Wang Xiaoguan's reputation, he is very polite to him no matter what he feels. However, this does not include the husband of Jiang Wenming from Wuyuan.
Jiang Wenming was born in a poor year and was a famous talented man in Wuyuan. He has always been the occasion where Wang Fulin appeared for several days. He will definitely not show up. He also sneered at him in some small circles, and even despised the Cheng and Wang families starting from business as merchants. However, this person's talent is really first-class. Huining Dao Science Examination is the first-class, and he is often among the best in the annual exam.
Cheng Naixuan was already unhappy about this, and he told Wang Fulin several times in private that he lived in a house provided by a merchant and ate food provided by a merchant. If you don’t pay a penny, you will say anything sarcastic. If you have the ability, you will find a place to live in Nanjing City by yourself!
But at this moment, Cheng Naixuan's exclamation did not mean gloating, but instead felt a little indignant. After Wang Fulin understood, he took a look at the officer Pan Er of the previous officer, and went straight forward and asked, "Do you ask if you are arresting Mr. Jiang as a suspect in arson? Is it because some witnesses recognized Mr. Jiang or were there any evidence found in his room?"
Mr. Pan still had a deep impression of both Wang Fulin and Cheng Naixuan. After all, he could still play chess calmly when searching for officers and soldiers. He was either too brave or had a deep background. Therefore, when Wang Fulin stood up and asked, the noise around him disappeared for a moment, and he couldn't be too lazy. While he was hesitating, someone strode over with several soldiers. It was his deputy Ying Long. Ying Long had previously searched with soldiers like wolves and tigers in the front yard. He was used to seeing the faces of those students who dared not speak out. At this moment, he glanced at Wang Fulin's blue shirt and sneered: "What right do you have to ask about the Dongcheng Military and Horses Department?"
"Now is after the provincial examination. Two or three thousand scholars in the city are still in a state of restlessness. It is understandable that you are ordered to investigate the case and arrest people. I have no right to inquire, but the Dongcheng Military and Ma Si arrested people in the Xin'an Guild Hall. Could it be that I can't give you a reason and a peace of mind, and at least let Mr. Jiang understand it?"
Ying Long's face turned dark immediately. Thinking of the message someone else brought to him, he became tough again: "I don't have time to talk nonsense to you. Come on, take that kid away!"
Seeing this person's eyes flashed, Wang Fulin refused to take on his words, and immediately became suspicious. Although he had no friendship with Jiang Wenming, the Nanjing Xin'an Association represented a prefecture and six counties in Huizhou. Even if there were many conflicts in normal times, he could not ignore it at this time. Therefore, he could only bow to the silent Mr. Pan Er and said, "Since that military master refused to give us an answer, how dare you ask Mr. Pan Er to wait for a reply? If not, then I can only take other students to the Governor Yingtian's yamen to express my feelings!"
Hearing the six words "Governor Yingtian's Yamen", the students who had just calmed down and waited for Wang Fulin to come forward suddenly agreed: "Yes, let's go to Governor Yingtian's Yamen to ask Governor Zhang to give justice!"
"How can you not even have a statement when arresting people!"
"Can the Dongcheng Military and Ma Si have no king's law?"
Seeing Mr. Pan's face gloomy, Yinglong felt something was wrong. When he saw Mr. Pan's eyes looked at him with a cold look, he could only hurried forward and whisper: "Commander Pan is just a poor scholar. Don't be scared by these sour scholars. They just talk. In fact, someone asked to make the boy's reputation..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Mr. Pan's eyes cold. The second half of his words reached his mouth and swallowed them back. But Mr. Pan's cold voice came from his ears: "Not to mention the wealthy Hui merchants in the southeast, just talk about how many Hui people are now officials in the court? Have you ever calculated it? It would be fine if you took people away elsewhere, but you would be so stupid that you would do private work in the Xin'an Guild Hall. What is your head?"
After a few reprimands, Mr. Pan showed a look of inquiring about the situation from his subordinates, and then turned his eyes to the left and right. When they stepped forward to protect Ying Long, who was blue and white on his face, he walked to Jiang Wenming, who was still held tightly. Seeing that he was not similar to the person in the portrait, he asked a few questions casually. Although Jiang Wenming, who was obviously scared, was a little stuttering, his answer was still organized. The most important thing is that when the arson case in the Bookstore occurred, the person was in another place with a few classmates. It was proved to be a surefire. He immediately became even more angry and immediately ordered his soldiers to let go.
Immediately afterwards, he bowed warmly: "The man in charge is ignorant, and he has wronged Mr. Jiang."
After all, Mr. Pan Er, the deputy commander, is a seventh-rank official. Although the soldiers just now did insult his manner, Jiang Wenming still had resentment when he apologized for such a favor, he could only expose it. After Mr. Pan Er, he smiled and bowed to Wang Fulin with a smile and said, "Fortunately, this husband would like to remind him more, otherwise I would have to take care of the wrong person, thank you."
Wang Fulin is even more sure there is something wrong now, but since he is willing to find a way out, he will certainly not be in trouble. He immediately replied: "If you offend me just now, please forgive me."
"Where?" Although Mr. Pan wanted to know more about Wang Fulin's origin, it was obviously not a good time now. He nodded slightly and then ordered, "Okay, this Xin'an Guild Hall has been checked, and go to check it elsewhere!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the Dongcheng Military and Masjids who had just turned around were retreating like a tide, the scholars in the lobby were silent for a while, and then a burst of cheers broke out. Wang Fulin had blocked them a lot of provocations before, and this time he blocked the Dongcheng Military and Masjidsjids. He did not show off his backstage, but instead pulled everyone to create momentum. Of course, everyone felt glorious on their faces.
As for Jiang Wenming's friends, of course, they quickly asked about Jiang Wenming's situation and then dragged the person to Wang Fulin. No matter what kind of grudges they had in the past, they were almost caught in the Dongcheng Military and Ma Si to take a walk today. Even if they could come out in a hurry, their reputation was gone. While Jiang Wenming thanked him, his face turned red. Of course, Wang Fulin was happy to continue to be a good person, without saying a word, and comforted the frightened talented man in Wuyuan. Then he sent Cheng Naixuan to the room, but left several of his friends.
"The situation just now looked a bit weird. Who did Brother Jiang offend before?"
Several friends of Jiang Wenming looked at each other, and after a while, one of them said embarrassedly: "Brother Jiang participated in the literary and poetry clubs before the provincial examination. He has never been very merciless. Maybe he offended someone at that time?"
Isn’t it just a sarcastic tongue? But Wang Fulin is not bad either. If you say that he had dealt with the people who had smashed the situation before, there seemed to be more people who had offended him!
Wang Fulin raised his eyebrows inexplicably and asked a few more questions. Some of Jiang Wenming's friends were shocked: "Hey, I remembered that we had dragged Brother Jiang to the Qinhuai River before and had a dispute with a group of locals on a lamp boat. Brother Jiang's three poems made the person completely angry, but he couldn't help but the young man led by the other party spent a lot of money and drove us down. In the end, Brother Jiang said that he was capable of seeing the truth on the provincial examination..."
The famous powdered land among the golden powder land of the Six Dynasties, the lamp ship on the Qinhuai River is the most popular among the romantic scholars. Wang Fulin had been accused of a fight on the Qinhuai River once before, so he was not surprised when he heard this. Anyway, his experience of Fuxiangfang on the West Lake was only a little bit like jumping into the lake. However, before the man finished speaking, the other immediately slapped his face and said, "I remembered this when you say this. The young master in the lead was praised as the Thirteenth Young Master of Jinling, saying that his family operated elegant industries such as Four Treasures and Antiques in the Study, oh, and books!"
When they talked about the book, everyone suddenly remembered the burned Yiwen Bookstore, and someone was immediately indignant: "What's this? When I first watched the fun, I thought it was a black store. Now it's good, and it has become a black store that accused people! Brother Wang, let's jointly write to the Governor Yingtian, Governor Zhang's Court to see you. You can't just forget about this!"
Wang Fulin just used Zhang Jiayin's reputation to scare the Dongcheng Military Command, but that doesn't matter. Now that he heard that someone actually instigated him to make trouble, he thanked Bumin: "The matter is just a speculation. Besides, he has already apologized and left. At this time, he went to Zhang's office to make an appeal, but to make an unreasonable fuss. It's the early stage of the provincial examination, so everyone should be calm and don't miss the matter."
The two words released by the results were indeed the best medicine to extinguish the anger of a bunch of students. The sound of talking and talking disappeared in an instant, and it gradually dissipated in a short while. When everyone left, Wang Fulin turned his head and saw that Cheng Naixuan was no longer visible. After thinking about it, he went back to the room. However, Xiaobei was also not there. When Bizhu, who was left behind, felt helpless and bent his knees when he saw his son-in-law coming back.
"Son-in-law, the lady took Mom Yan out, saying that she saw an acquaintance among the people from the Dongcheng Military Police before."
Wang Fulin immediately felt aroused. Xiaobei said that the acquaintance, but he didn't know him, was either the old Hu family of the past, or the person she recognized during the period when the Hu family was wandering. But no matter which one it was, the little girl chased after him without even saying hello. Not only did she not persuade her, she actually followed her, which was obviously a bit unusual.
