The sky was overcast and the autumn wind was bleak. I saw someone looking for Liu Xigua after he came out from the courtyard of the main house of Badao Camp.
There were three people coming from the academy. Since Ning Yi had not gone to class today, Feng Yongli led them here. All three of them were strong and strong, and it seemed that they were all practitioners. The leader was forty years old.
Up and down, his eyes were sharp and arrogant, with a condescending aura, like a skilled detective who was greedy but often able to solve crimes. The two people following him were both young warriors in their twenties, and their eyes were a little cold.
"Yushitai, are you Ning Liheng?"
Taking out his official badge, the leader introduced himself. After looking at Ning Yi for a few times, he added: "You came here?"
Fang La established the Yongle Dynasty, following the system of the Wu Dynasty. The role of the Yushitai was to monitor internal officials. But a little while ago, the so-called Yushitai was just an empty yamen with only a name and no members. In the past few days, Li Tianrun
After coming back to liquidate the previous recruitment faction, the name Yushitai was used on the surface. In the past few days, the middle and lower-level officials from the outside world have turned pale when talking about Yushitai, because once such people are found, the next step will be 100%
Ninety percent of the process is to be imprisoned, tortured and executed. Although it has a seemingly official name, the actual interrogation process is basically free trial and there is no way to explain it.
Now that these three people are coming, it seems that it is Li Tianyou's handiwork. Ning Yi has been prepared for this, but he originally thought that the other party would suddenly attack outside the Ba Dao camp. This time, there are some signs of courtesy first, which is surprising.
It's really hard to understand.
But after a while, he discovered that things might be a little different from what he imagined.
"...You came here. I, the Yongle Dynasty, think you have some knowledge and allow you to teach in Wenlie Academy. You should consider the great favor of the country. But you don't teach well in the academy, but instead confuse the public with your lies.
He confuses people's minds and promotes court lackeys such as Qian Xiwen as virtuous people, causing many students in the academy to form cliques for personal gain and form whatever groups they want. Now the influence is extremely bad, you know your guilt!"
I found a room nearby. The leader said this with a stern voice. The other two men threatened with various expressions and movements, and they looked like they were being interrogated. But what kind of person is Ning Yi?
Many times it is obvious at a glance that what they are doing here at this time is obviously just a false threat and does not intend to arrest anyone. At the moment, such a warning may scare some truly unsophisticated adherents. How can I be right?
He is useful, Li Tianyou must know this, and what is his plan?
He was confused in his heart, but he didn't look too scared on the surface. After talking for a while, the other party seemed to think that his lack of response was arrogant. One of the young people wanted to hit him, but in the end he was shouted down by the middle-aged man.
Stop. The other party is probably also afraid that this is the territory of the Ba Dao camp. He is unwilling to make the matter bigger, but the matter of secretly forming a clique around the students he teaches has aggravated the warning. The implication seems to be that he is asking him to take the initiative to bring the students'
Both teams disbanded.
"...Some people above have already known about this matter, and the impact is extremely bad. The adults above are generous and just said that they would take a look and not argue with you. People like you are like pigs and dogs. I could have
I'll beat you up, or you'll lose your hands and feet. No one will talk to you, but you are a teacher in the school after all, so I'll save you some face. If you come back after a while, they will definitely take you, so you should take care of yourself."
After the man said this, the two people who followed him cursed and then left. Ning Yi originally planned to create an atmosphere in the Ba Dao Camp where he was forced to have no choice but to care about the other party's domineering attitude. He was just confused in his heart.
After following for a while, I vaguely heard a conversation coming from the other side. It seemed that the young man was asking the middle-aged man why he didn't beat him.
"...Such scholars always have a bit of arrogance. Even if they are afraid in their hearts, they still like to support them on the surface..."
"...Tsk, I've already surrendered, so what's the point of being arrogant..."
"Do you know how he surrendered? If you warn him like this, he must have some fear in his heart, and he will be afraid in the future... I will teach you how to look at people. His expression just now was strange but fearless, and there was clearly something wrong with it.
Backstage. We are not afraid of this, but we are arguing and looking for people on both sides. Today has passed again. I have something to do tonight and don’t want to get into trouble... I’ll ask him again in a few days. If he still hasn’t calmed down, then
I really can’t let him go…”
After hearing this, Ning Yi turned back and saw Zhuo Xiaofeng coming out of the yard where he had just been warned, panting and looking for him.
"Ning, Mr. Ning, they, they didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"what happened?"
"Master Bao Tianshi... Master Bao Tianshi took action. They arrested Chen Teng's parents and family at noon today, saying that they were colluding with the court. But the people who took action were all people related to Master Bao Tian. I heard that there were
When people from Yushitai come to look for you, they are worried that they will make things difficult for you..."
"I'm fine." Ning Yi frowned, "Why did the news leak out so quickly? You guys didn't have a good relationship with me in the past. They just came to warn me, but it was fine. But what about Chen Teng now? And you guys, will
Will it not be affected?"
He had heard before that Bao Daoyi's subordinates were cold-blooded and had many brothers and many connections. However, he did not expect that Bao Daoyi would be so powerful. He found the target in just half a day. Zhuo Xiaofeng obviously did the same.
I was frightened, but still shook my head.
"Chen Teng is fine. They shouldn't be able to find the place arranged by Brother Chen Fan for a while. I went home at noon today and asked dad. Dad said if we would be implicated for a while, Master Bao Tian would not offend the public like this.
, at most, they will only target the Chen family to scare the monkeys..." After he finished speaking, he hesitated, "Mr. Ning, you said... do you think so?"
"Well, it's really too much to do anything. Please don't continue to investigate this matter. It should be fine... Oh, the person who revealed the news is probably your own children. I guess there are more or less people in your family who are following me.
Bao Dao Yi has something to do with it."
Zhuo Xiaofeng nodded: "My father said the same thing... Mr. Ning, just be fine. I'll go back first and discuss the future with them... with them."
After the young man finished speaking, he returned to the academy. Ning Yi frowned and thought about the matter. Bao Dao Yi was really ruthless. Once provoked, he would kill his whole family and even warn the teachers of the other school. However, Zhuo Xiaofeng's
The father was relatively calm. After all, the families of the children in the school were middle-level officials of the Yongle Dynasty. He knew that Bao Dao Yi would not escalate the matter any further. He could also let the children go back to the school to appease the situation.
With this in mind, Liu Tiannan came over and asked about the things that made things difficult for him just now. After roughly understanding the situation, he waved his hand: "The relationship with Yushitai cannot touch you. If you come to cause trouble again, don't be wordy with them.
Just greet a few people casually, beat them up and throw them out. You have come here to say goodbye, but good people can be bullied... Okay, I have something else to do. Let's go first."
Ning Yi spoke vaguely, and Liu Tiannan thought it was Li Tianrun's people who came to provoke him, and for a moment he hated him for not stopping him just now. To be honest, as the general manager of Ba Dao Camp, Liu Tiannan's style is basically prudent on weekdays, but
The reason why the Ba Dao Camp took action against the Qi family was to show off their strength before Li Tianrun came back. Even Liu Xigua, the owner of the village, was injured for this. If someone would still come up to provoke him at this time. With Ba Dao Camp's usual behavior
If you have a hard-core style, you really have to draw your sword and cut back, even if the opponent is Li Tianrun. Otherwise, how can you gain a foothold in the upper echelons of Yongle Dynasty.
It was already afternoon. After Liu Tiannan left, Ning Yi returned to the small courtyard. When Yang Zhiwu and Chen Xituan came to knock on the door in the evening, Ning Yi guessed that things might have worsened. Sure enough, the two
The child is talking about the actions of the "Zhengqi Association".
"...I just saw Zhuo Xiaofeng and more than a dozen of them gathered together and heading towards the east gate. I heard that something big happened, Mr. Ning. They made things big. Can you come with us to have a look?
…”
Yang Zhiwu and Chen Xitong didn't know that Ning Yi was connected with Zhuo Xiaofeng, but they probably had a premonition that the situation was serious. They knew that even if they, the Yongle Youth League, joined in, they might not be able to do anything, so they came to Ning Yi to help.
Idea. Ning Yi nodded: "Is it about Chen Teng's family?"
"No... I think I heard it was Chen Teng himself..."
"Um?"
"I also heard that Brother Chen Fan also went..."
Due to these contacts, Chen Fan, who has a straightforward and flamboyant style, is still quite popular among this group of children, but if they really want to deal with things, everyone will probably trust Ning Yi's plan more. After leaving the courtyard, they are already waiting here.
We gathered seven or eight key members of the "Youth League" and headed all the way to the east gate. On the way, someone came to report the news. It turned out that Chen Teng was seriously injured. After Chen Fan rescued the person, he arranged for him to be treated by a doctor he knew.
, did not tell anyone the location, but in the afternoon, the person who led Route B found the doctor. No one knows what happened specifically, but the result is...the doctor and the young man named Chen Teng have now
died.
When we came all the way to the market near the east gate, a section of it was filled with a solemn atmosphere. The door of the medical center was wide open, and there were several corpses inside, all covered with white cloth. According to Ning Yi's understanding, when the package
When Dao Yi's men found Chen Teng, I'm afraid they didn't just kill him with a single blow. They probably scolded and beat him and slowly beat the seriously injured boy to death.
A dozen teenagers were standing on the street at this time, all with red eyes, and some were gnashing their teeth and talking. A group of black guards separated the pedestrians on both sides. Standing at the door of the medical center were An Xifu and Chen Fan, but at this time
, the two seemed to have had a quarrel. An Xifu pulled out a steel knife and pointed it at Chen Fan, and Chen Fan sneered and tapped his chest.
They have known each other for a while. Although they did not interact with An Xifu as much as Chen Fan, Ning Yi probably knew that An Xifu was not good at martial arts, and his skills were probably similar to his own. If he really did it,
I'm afraid Chen Fan won't be able to survive many moves.
When Ning Yi and others came over, An Xifu looked over. At this time, Chen Fan had probably calmed down a little. He looked at the red-eyed teenagers, then at Ning Yi, and finally spread his hands, turned around and left...
…
*********************
What is more important, life or integrity, is a difficult proposition. Ning Yi has never been an extremist. Extremes cannot solve any problems. He has always believed that people should have ideals and perseverance, but they should not lose anything for perseverance.
Life, and even so, still requires ideals and persistence. People without these things are no different from insects.
A mature person can live humbly for his ideals, while an immature person is willing to die heroically for his ideals. There is a saying that goes like this. Ning Yi is a pragmatic person. If he sets a goal, he will use any means to achieve it.
To complete it, even if there are setbacks, it's not a big deal. Of course, if this person's ideal is to never bend down in his life, or to show off to others as a Confucian spiritual model like Qian Xiwen, then that is another matter. Life
It doesn't matter if you struggle, bend, setback, or twist along the way. As long as you have a breath, you can always push forward.
Of course, there is no way to talk about these things to those children, and it is impossible for them to understand. Seeing the red eyes of those children, Ning Yi roughly knew that they were young after all and would not understand the meaning of the situation being stronger than others. And in this era
, the hands of their fathers were also stained red with blood, they had strong fists, spine, and everything else. Those who kneel down are cowards.
After all, Bao Daoyi pushed too hard. When Zhuo Xiaofeng wanted to stay out of the Chen family's affairs, these children had actually chosen to retreat. But with a slap in the face, they probably wouldn't be able to retreat.
Of course, Bao Dao Yi probably didn't take these children seriously either. Perhaps for him, he had to slap the children one by one until they obeyed.
Something might happen. It would be good for Ning Yi if something happened, but for the matter in front of him, Ning Yi didn't intend to intervene and guide them. He didn't intend to calm them down, nor did he intend to really incite something. He knew where Bao Daoyi was now.
The Taoist temple there is called White Deer Temple. It is heavily guarded and majestic. That night, I dreamed of a group of teenagers attacking the Taoist temple with knives and guns.
The next day, Yang Zhiwu and a group of teenagers from the "Youth League" came to look for him.
"...The Zhengqi Association is preparing to take action, and we...are going to help them..." the young man said.
"What are you going to do? If you kill Bailu Guan and Bao Dao Yi, I will applaud you as a master."
"Well... we have calculated it together and there is an opportunity to take action this afternoon... After the incident at Gutongguan, Bao Daoyi probably felt that the place was no longer usable. He wanted to move those women. We found out today
The motorcade will pass through Pingchang Street in the afternoon..."
Ning Yi looked serious and nodded: "Continue."
"That's a busy city over there. We plan to find a way to block the road. We just need to smash one of the carriages so that people can see the women in the carriage. We will cause trouble. With so many women on the stage, they can't explain it. Liang Zi is already here anyway.
It's settled, we can't do Bao Dao B, but things got serious, and those women were finally saved. My husband said before that we have to have rules and regulations when doing things, and we can't act recklessly. After thinking about it, I'm afraid this is the only way we can do it.
Something happened."
Ning Yi looked at him for a while, then laughed, walked to the window and nodded, after a long while, he said: "Add together, there will always be forty or fifty of you, and you have connections in the family. In fact, it works well."
, don’t be afraid of Bao Dao B’s retaliation. I didn’t want to talk about this before, because you may not be able to do it. I tell you now, after this incident, no matter whether the adults in your family beat or scold you, you children
You can't retreat. If you bite them to death, they will form a group. If you don't retreat, the adults in your family will not be able to retreat no matter what. As long as you risk it and force them to form a group, Bao Dao B will not be able to attack anyone. Since you are not reckless, this matter
I'll help you later."
"Thank you, sir!" After hearing this, Yang Zhiwu saluted him happily. They had been dealing with Ning Yi for so long, so they naturally had a thorough understanding of this teacher's past. In the past, those things were only passed down by word of mouth, and most of them thought that
The teacher is great. But from the beginning to the end, they took matters into their own hands and Ning Yi did not participate in the youth league affairs. Now in this matter, Ning Yi's attitude has been ambiguous. It was only then that it became clear, and it suddenly made people feel that it was really true.
With the backbone, he asked excitedly after a moment: "Then... Sir, do you think we can succeed in this matter?"
"If the information is accurate..." Ning Yi smiled and nodded, "It should be possible."
He said this. When Yang Zhiwu left, Ning Yi stood in front of the window and frowned. Whether it was success or failure, things couldn't be easy. Originally, he only wanted to do it with the pressure from Li Tianyou.
article, but if you really interfere with Bao Daoyi's affairs after this incident, the situation may become more complicated and uncontrollable.
By this afternoon, a total of nearly thirty people from the "Yongle Youth League" came over, some of them were students in the class, and a few were young people in their twenties, including Chen Xitun's cousin, and some from the "Youth League"
"The street knights I met when I was doing good deeds didn't care about Bao Dao Yi's power. Regarding this matter, Yang Zhiwu originally discussed with Zhuo Xiaofeng and others to do it together, but Zhuo Xiaofeng expressed their refusal.
After all, the person who died over there was his brother. He was so passionate and angry that he already paid for an ambush at noon. After gathering here, he went to Pingchang Street. Before leaving, Ning Yi gave each person two packs of quicklime powder. By the way,
A group of children each has a small wooden bucket.
"... Lime is used for self-defense. Take a small bucket of water and put it next to it... I don't agree with using this thing unless it is an emergency. The feud is too deep, but you are not strong enough. If there is a conflict, sprinkle lime, and it won't work anymore.
, just pour some water..."
After such instructions, Ning Yi put on some makeup and the group headed towards Pingchang Street. They broke up when they arrived. A group of children from the Youth League went to the teahouse at the corner of the road, while the children from the "Zhengqi Association" were already on the road.
He sat down in the restaurant opposite and saw the other person coming. He was somewhat moved, but he didn't say hello. Ning Yi went to the street a little further away, pushed a cart and sold rapeseed oil while watching the activities around him.
Around the time of the original search, a young man who had been watching from the front came back on horseback, expressing that the message was correct. Ning Yi looked at the street intersection from a distance, and unknowingly, Chen Fan sat down next to him.
When the carriage team appeared, he tilted his head and smiled at Ning Yi.
"They got the intelligence wrong."
"Huh?" Ning Yi was slightly stunned.
"Those women were not transported from here. Last night, after the children got the news, I went to check and found out that Bao Dao B had set a trap for them... But maybe they didn't keep it secret well, so they were exploited in turn.
"
Ning Yi glanced at him: "Why do you say it now?"
"I thought about it last night and warned them in the past that it would have no meaning in their future. If the reason for not suffering a loss is because someone is protecting them, I'm afraid they will get used to it. But if things fail and they are caught and they are at a loss again,
If the family is suppressed again, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything in the future. I thought about it all night, and there was only one thing left to do..."
Ning Yi closed his eyes: "sonofbitch..."
His voice was so soft that Chen Fan couldn't understand what he meant. There was a bit of excitement in his smile at this time.
"I used to be like them, not afraid of heaven and earth. Many people I know are like this. They are not afraid of heaven and earth. But later, they were gradually taught to be afraid by the Taoism of this world. In fact, it doesn't matter to be afraid, but later on
They dare not do anything. After they dare not do it, they will come up with various reasons to convince themselves, and then they will criticize others, as if their daring is some great honor, and scold those who dare to do it.
I'm a fool. In fact, I gradually became afraid. I didn't know what to do. I always felt that nothing could be done in this world because everyone was afraid."
He paused: "These children you teach have many ideas in their hearts. It doesn't matter if they fail in doing things. They can learn how to do things, but I can't let them be afraid from the beginning. I have to let them see that some adults
There is nothing to be afraid of. Some things are not as difficult as others say as long as they remember them when they grow up."
As the carriage approached, Chen Fan stood up, then tilted his head and asked doubtfully: "Why are you pushing a cart? Lend it to me if it's not used?"
Ning Yi glanced at him: "This is rapeseed oil. I asked the students to prepare lime. After someone is spilled, you can come here to wash your eyes." After a moment, he added, "...it doesn't hurt your kindness."
"Then there is still life?" Chen Fan was stunned for a long time, "You are so insidious."
After saying this, Chen Fan turned his head. The autumn street scene was desolate and gloomy, and there were not many people in the formerly prosperous market. He took a breath, and his bones sounded softly in the air.
At the street corner over there, a group of teenagers from the "Zhengqi Association" had begun to stand up subconsciously. Then they saw a figure on the street yelling and rushing out in that direction.
There were a total of seven carriages coming over, each pulled by two horses, and the speed was not slow. The figure was like a swift arrow. This bleak autumn scene turned the entire atmosphere into a constantly tightening string in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, the figure rushed towards the second carriage and hit the horse hard on the head with a powerful punch.
The blood exploded and the horse neighed loudly. With this punch, almost the whole body of the galloping horse left the ground and hit another horse next to it. The galloping horse pulled the shaft of the cart and the entire body suddenly began to move.
It tilted, the wheels left the ground, and suddenly turned sideways.
With a loud rumble, the carriage body fell to the ground, and was still pushing forward with the huge inertia. The sewage and garbage on the street were stirred up for a while. In front of the carriage, the figure was pushing with both hands.
With the car strings raised, the whole person was being pushed backwards by the car body, but finally the sliding momentum stopped. A carriage behind the car turned hastily and almost hit a big tree on the side of the road.
. I saw the figure pushing the string of the car and began to exert force.
At this time, one of the carriage shafts was broken, and the galloping horse that fell to the ground was also unbridled. The overturned carriage began to be pushed sideways and backwards by the man, and the momentum was getting faster and faster. With a loud roar,
, the man also shouted loudly: "You have grudges in the world, get out of here if you don't want to die -" Several vendors at the roadside stalls fled.
The carriage knocked over a stall that originally sold fried snacks. A pot of boiling oil was knocked to the ground. Firewood flew everywhere. The carriage ran over from above and hit the wall on the other side of the road. It stopped.
It fell down, and the next moment, flames suddenly rose up.
The carriage was so big that seven or eight people screamed and crawled out of it. They were all martial arts people who had been ambushing them. The figure grabbed half of the carriage shaft, kicked the carriage hard, and grabbed the giant tree in his hand.
Making a weapon, he blew the head of the first person who climbed out. On the fifth carriage in the distance, someone tore the brocade curtain apart, and a figure stood out from there: "Chen Fan! What are you doing!"
It's Baodao B.
On the third carriage, the driver swung his long whip towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan didn't move. He stretched out his hand to grab it and pulled hard. The long whip broke into several pieces, and the human figure became a
Rolling gourd. But on each carriage, people with different looks and weapons have come out. Seven carriages have blocked the long street tightly, and there is a sound of panic. Chen Fan takes
