Chapter 151: Understanding everything in the world is knowledge
Lu's family in Qingpu is well off, and Lu Yangfang has been doted on by his parents since he was a child. He is pampered, uneducated, and has no ability to respond. When several police officers suddenly rushed in, grabbed him and dragged him out, he was stunned until he was dragged out.
Only then did Damen come to his senses and shouted, "Don't be rude, my father is Lu Xiaolian——"
Zhang Yuan's voice said, "Dong Zuchang is still my father, Dong Xuanzai. You, the father of a scholar, have the nerve to talk about it and scare people. (.))" Lu Yangfang was escorted to the prison opposite the Tutu Temple. Lu Yangfang begged to let him go.
Who cares about him——
Zhang Yuan asked a police officer to report to County Magistrate Li, saying that Zhang Yuan from Shanyin wanted to see him. The policeman had benefited from Zhang Yuan's favor before. Why did he say, "Master Zhang, I am not a villain who refuses to report. I have already beaten the drum twice."
The county magistrate must have rested, Mr. Zhang will come back tomorrow."
Zhang Yuan said, "Excuse me, go and ask. If Mr. Li County has already rested, of course I don't dare to disturb you." He turned and glanced at Wu Ling. Wu Ling understood and gave the guard a tael of silver. The guard changed his words and said, "Okay, then.
I'll go check it out, if the county magistrate doesn't want to see you, then I can't blame you."
Li Banghua, the magistrate of Qingpu County, had a long talk with Liu Zongzhou a few days ago. He was deeply aware of the mourning period. At this time, he was writing furiously under the lamp, writing a letter to his teacher Zou Yuanbiao who was far away in Jishui, and discussing current affairs. When he heard the servant came to report
It was said that Zhang Yuan from Shanyin asked to see him at the beginning of the year. He was not expecting to see him, so he thought about it and let Zhang Yuan in. He was not easy to talk to in the meeting hall before, so now he met Zhang Yuan, who was praised by Mr. Qidong as a scholar.
, to see how knowledgeable he is——
Zhang Yuan was taken to the study room of Lashe, where he crossed his hands and saluted.
Li Banghua looked at Zhang Yuan under the lamp, smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." He ordered the waiter to serve tea.
Zhang Yuan thanked County Magistrate Li, sat down and said, "Your Excellency, Lu Yangfang has been arrested and brought to justice. The student is feeling uneasy and has come to ask for your advice."
Li Banghua said, "Well, you say."
Zhang Yuan said, "Lu Yangfang is my brother-in-law's brother. I am suing the government and putting him in jail. It is difficult to balance emotion and reason. They all say that parents love their young children. Lu Yangfang is loved by his parents. Mrs. Lu does not scold Lu Yangfang in the street."
They robbed someone, but they made my brother-in-law kneel down and kowtow to make me bleed, forcing my brother-in-law to ask me to withdraw the lawsuit. The student felt very embarrassed. Evil was not punished, and the world was unfair. This caused discord between the Lu family brothers, and the student felt uneasy. Hope
Li County has the honor to teach me."
Li Banghua asked, "Mr. Qidong appreciates you so much. Let me ask you, do you know what two words Mr. Qidong values most in his scholarly conduct?"
Zhang Yuandao said, "It's in the word 'Shen Du'."
Li Banghua showed his face and said, "Then tell me how to interpret the word 'Shen Du'?"
Zhang Yuan had already understood why Li Banghua said "Be cautious about independence" at this time. It was very good. He was worthy of being Mr. Qidong's friend. He replied, "Independence is what I call my conscience."
Li Banghua is also a believer in Wang Yangming's Conscience Theory and said, "Do you have any qualms about suing Lu Yangfang in your heart?"
Zhang Yuandao said, "Nothing to be ashamed of."
Li Banghua said, "If you have no shame, why should you be uneasy?"
Zhang Yuan went around in a big circle just to get Li Banghua to say this. It took a lot of effort. He looked like he had some understanding, but then said, "Mr. Yangming said that knowledge and action are one. Students understand this truth, but see
When my brother-in-law broke his head, Lu Yangfang threatened to have his parents expel my sister from the house. Although the student was not ashamed, he could not feel at ease."
Wang Yangming pays attention to the unity of knowledge and action. Sitting in his study and only pursuing personal moral perfection is difficult but can be overcome. However, as an official in the world, it is difficult to implement his moral ideals into government affairs, because this is not just for you.
Of course, Li Banghua was deeply touched by human affairs and said, "Your matter is not difficult to solve. By the way, why doesn't Mr. Lu Zhaoshen come to plead for his son?"
Zhang Yuandao said, "Mr. Lu went to Huating. Lu Yangfang originally went with his father, but he turned back halfway and wanted to steal the student's maid."
Li Banghua knew why Lu Zhaoshen went to Huating. He shook his head and said, "Lu Yangfang has behaved so recklessly. He should be punished. He should be imprisoned for two days to let him taste the pain. We will talk about it when Mr. Lu comes back. He will never expel your sister."
Don't worry about this when you go out."
At this time, the disciple came again to report that Lu Xiucai wanted to see the county magistrate. Li Banghua said with a smile, "Sheng Lu is a humble gentleman. He must be here to intercede for his brother."
Lu Tao came in, bowed and raised his head. Li Banghua saw that there were indeed marks of bruises on his forehead. He felt that it was difficult for a filial son to be a filial son. It had been like this since Emperor Shun. He said, "Lu Sheng, this county is aware of your matter. Go back and tell us."
Your mother, Lu Yangfang, must be punished. As for the exact method of punishment, it will be decided upon your father's return. You don't have to be afraid. I will explain it to your father for you."
Lu Tao begged, "Can you let the disciples go visit your brother-in-law?"
Li Banghua said, "It's a good thing to just let Lu Yangfang be scared for one night. We'll visit again tomorrow."
Lu Tao did not dare to say anything more, so he resigned together with Zhang Yuan. Li Banghua took a few steps away and said to Zhang Yuan, "Independence is the foundation of things, and being careful about independence is the beginning of things."
Zhang Yuan bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li County, for your advice." He and his brother-in-law Lu Tao left the county office. Seeing Lu Dayou, Wu Ling, Mu Jingyan, and Mu Zhenzhen's father and daughter waiting outside, he said to his brother-in-law Lu Tao, "Brother-in-law,
I won’t go back to Lu Mansion with you, the four of us will find an inn to rest by ourselves."
Lu Tao said anxiously, "It makes sense. If you don't go back, wouldn't Ruoxi be anxious?" He took Zhang Yuan's hand and left.
Zhang Yuan followed his brother-in-law back to the Lu Mansion. There was nothing to be ashamed of in arresting Lu Yangfang. It would be a good thing for the Lu family in Qingpu to teach Lu Yangfang a profound lesson.
Zhang Ruoxi felt slightly relieved when she saw that her husband and brother Zhang Yuan were back. Before she could say anything, Lu Tao said, "I'll go and reply to my mother first." He hurried away.
The half-moon was already setting in the west, and the night was already deep. The two children, Lu Chun and Lu Jie, had already fallen asleep sweetly, but Zhou Ma and several maidservants were still waiting. They stood on the porch one by one, feeling a little anxious all day long.
Feel.
Zhang Yuan looked at his sister Zhang Ruoxi and said, "Sister, do you blame me for causing so much trouble to you and your brother-in-law?"
Zhang Ruoxi said, "Sister, I would rather be wronged than let you be wronged. Besides, my brother-in-law is also wrong in this matter."
Zhang Yuan said, "Sister, I will go back to Shanyin with me tomorrow to stay for a while——"
"No." Zhang Ruoxi said, "If something like this hadn't happened, my sister would have gone back to Shanyin with you to see her mother. But how can I leave your brother-in-law here alone now?"
Zhang Yuandao said, "Sister, I think so. Lu Yangfang is hiding at home and talking nonsense in front of the elderly, which will definitely make the family uneasy. It will be more worry-free to go in now. I just asked Magistrate Li to seek justice.
When Mr. Lu comes back, County Magistrate Li will talk to Mr. Lu, and it would not be good for my sister to stay here. It would be best to leave for a while and come back after the matter calms down. Lu Yangfang should be more restrained after learning this lesson.
, In fact, it doesn't matter, as long as the brother-in-law treats his sister well, the brother-in-law is a county student and has a status. If Lu Yangfang is so unbearable, Mr. Lu will rely on his brother-in-law more in the future. After all, the brother-in-law is their son and not an outsider.
Sister, you don’t have to worry about how wronged your brother-in-law will be. Sister, you have to know that your brother-in-law is most afraid of you being wronged."
Zhang Ruoxi looked at her younger brother Zhang Yuan with some surprise. This sixteen-year-old brother was more understanding and sophisticated than her older sister. She thought about it and said, "Xiao Yuan is right. Let's wait until your brother-in-law comes back."
Lu Tao came back quickly this time. There was no instigation from Lu Yangfang, and the Liu family did not embarrass the eldest son. After all, Lu Zhaoshen was not at home, and Lu Yangfang arrested her again. She still had to rely on her eldest son, so she only told Lu Tao that he would get up early tomorrow morning.
I went to visit the prison and didn’t let my brother Lu Yangfang suffer in prison——
Lu Tao also thought that it would be better for Ruoxi to return to Shanyin tomorrow to avoid being angry with the two old people. Anyway, before Lu Zhaoshen went to Huating, Zhang Yuan had already asked Lu Zhaoshen to let his sister Ruoxi go back to Shanyin with him for a while. Lu Zhaoshen
I also agreed.
