Mr. Xunzhen feels very uncomfortable in his heart. The grudges between your wealthy family broke out here and hurt innocent people. This is the most inappropriate thing. But now it appears at the most inappropriate time. This is the last thing I want to see. of.
But Baoyu must do this.
Lord Xunzhen saw Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s face full of righteousness, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "My life has been ruined by you, a little bastard."
No matter what method Mr. Xunzhen adopts, nothing will come of it.
As for the "good solution" Mr. Xiao Jia said, it's just Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) wishful thinking.
It is simply a daydream to think of a proper way to bring down Oboi.
"I don't want to do anything, but I have to let Mr. Obai fight with me. This is why I came to sue Mr. Obai today."
"I still don't understand."
"There are many things you don't understand. Can I explain them to you one by one?"
"I still don't understand what Mr. Xiao Jia means."
"As long as you accept the petition, that's all."
Lord Xunzhen is still a little worried. Playing games among powerful people is always unreasonable and reckless. Especially for top powerful people like this.
"You are a scholar... A scholar has the integrity of a scholar. I don't want to give you any noble reasons, but you have to remember this sentence. Each of us has done something for society, and you should too. Do something for this society, such as carrying out the necessary struggle against the powerful."
Although Master Xunzhen is pedantic and upright, he is also a veteran who has been an official for many years, and he knows how powerful it is.
He is no longer a child, and no one is any more stupid than the other. What he fears most is being used as a mallet for others.
"Don't you want to do something for the entire court and country? Now is the best time. If you accept my petition and send it to the higher-level Dali Temple, if you succeed, you will dominate the world. A hero is a role model for scholars all over the world; if you fail, it's just your own classification, and you don't have much responsibility... You understand what I said..."
"In other words, I guarantee the harvest despite droughts and floods. Is this what you mean?"
"Almost. But the most important thing is that you can take a gamble. At most, you lose and you retire. Of course, it won't hurt you at all, but you will gain world fame...especially in the world. In the eyes of scholars..."
"Okay, I'll accept your petition."
Lord Xunzhen knew that he had been deceived by this little guy who looked like a "bamboo pole", but being respected by scholars all over the world was really his Achilles' heel, because as a scholar, he wanted to gain a good reputation.
When Mr. Xunzhen accepted the petition, the people who followed him burst into applause.
At the same time, there were more than twenty people in the crowd who ran away quickly. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) knew that these people must be Obai's spies, and the purpose of their running away was to report to their master.
At this time, the hall of Duke Ao Bai's mansion was brightly lit in broad daylight. Ao Bai was sitting coldly on a chair of the Grand Master in silence. He had been silent for more than half an hour.
There was an endless stream of spies coming to report.
"Supervisor Mr. Xunzhen has accepted Mr. Xiao Jia's complaint."
"The supervisor directly followed Mr. Xiao Jia into Dali Temple with the petition."
"After a high-spirited and impassioned explanation, the minister of Dali Temple also agreed to take up the case of embezzlement of ink."
…
It seems that things are getting worse and worse.
The new minister of Dali Temple, Wu Latu, is a disciple of Zhenghuang Banner. He seems to be very interested in Master Xiao Jia's lie.
But from his smiling face, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) saw that this guy was definitely an old official.
He has the ability to "turn big things into small things and small things into nothing".
While Wulatu continued the complaint, he said to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) very politely: "I agree with you if you sue Mr. Taifu, but Mr. Xiao Jia must give the most appropriate reason. For a mere three thousand taels of silver, he offended a person.
...You are really not worthy of being a high official."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) had known that this matter would have been lost in Dali Temple. This was also the outcome he hoped for most.
His original purpose was not to really accuse Master Obai, but his purpose was to become an enemy of Master Obai.
Why do you want to be an enemy of Lord Obai? Apart from the fact that you have always regarded him as your "grandfather", but this guy has hidden deep secrets and "harmed" him from the beginning, there is a more important purpose... What other more important purpose is needed...
Tell others? Really.
After Dali Temple accepted the petition, everything seemed to have faded away.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) also seems to have become less excited and active.
He actually asked Mingyan to call a carriage from home and returned to Jia's mansion in a very flamboyant manner.
Let the common people in the capital know that he, Xiao Jia, is the enemy of Tai Fu, Ao Bai. This seems to be the result that Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) wants.
When he got up the next day, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday and kept stressing that he had drunk too much.
This unsolved case passed like this, as if it had never happened at all.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) has been walking birds and watering flowers in his yard for the past two days, acting particularly leisurely.
Only Sister Lin and Sister Baochai would occasionally leave the yard when they came.
But at this time, there were rumors everywhere in the capital that Grand Tutor Ao Bai was not just "greedy", but seemed to have more.
Where did such rumors come from? It seems that Master Obai's spies in the capital didn't find out anything.
There has been talk of impeachment of Lord Obai when he goes to court.
While everyone was suspicious and discussing, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) took the initiative to stand up and said that he was the one who brought this matter to light and that he wanted to make Master Obai an enemy and to kill him.
It seems that Mr. Xiao Jia is really not the material to be an official, because being an official is about mutual compromise and mutual use, but now it seems that Mr. Xiao Jia is just a stick, a beginner who does not understand the world's sophistication and fireworks.
elder brother.
On the third day, this terrible "rumor" got worse and worse, even reaching the point of being out of control.
The Jia Mansion was peaceful at night, but the lights were brightly lit in Zeng Daren's study. Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was standing quietly watching his father turn over some information expressionlessly.
"Your main purpose is to point the finger of this old man, Obai, at yourself. You seem to be crazy... I don't ask you for any reason, I just want to know how sure you and him are of winning."
"Thirty percent."
"You dare to rush forward if it's 30%?"
"If we are 100% sure, Lord Obai has only one real way to die. But I want Lord Obai to live until he dies of old age. Even if the little emperor wants to kill him, I don't want to do everything possible to protect him.
"
Hearing this, Mr. Zheng was also shocked. How did his son know that the royal family had the idea of getting rid of Obai?
At this time, a servant came in and reported: "Master Obai is here to visit."
(For what purpose Obai came to visit late at night, please see the breakdown in the next round.)
