Shao Chen's handwritten letter was handed in, and the next step was to wait. Now, in front of the gate of the guarding eunuch's house, these hundreds of people were not at all noisy and noisy, but were extremely calm and peaceful.
Everyone knew that it was time to take action, and they were all staring at the door, not knowing what would happen in a moment. If a large group of people with murderous weapons appeared, it would be better to run away... No need to ask.
No matter how fast you run, just run a few steps faster than others.
The only one with a relatively relaxed attitude is the protagonist Shao Gongzi. Of course he is not worried. Five hundred taels of silver have been spent, so what else can go wrong?
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly several drums rang out, and the middle door of the mansion opened wide. Two rows of servants walked out first, and then a fair-skinned middle-aged man who was well-maintained appeared in front of everyone.
Although most of the people gathered outside did not know who this person was, they saw that he had a three-mountain hat on his head, a crimson robe, an ornate pattern of an unknown animal embroidered on his chest, and a gauze shirt. This kind of clothing is not only for guarding, but also for guarding.
Who else could the eunuch Li be? I'm afraid I can't find anyone else in Hangzhou.
Shao Chen stood under the door and suddenly saw Eunuch Li. His heart suddenly shook and he became a little nervous.
After all, Mr. Shao is not very old. His words and deeds along the way just now were all rehearsed countless times last night. Fortunately, he only needed to talk in general terms. Moreover, he was very involved in the performance today, as if he had integrated his whole body and mind into it.
No mistakes were made.
But no matter how much you practice, you can't replace the actual face-to-face contact experience, especially the actual contact experience with a high-ranking figure like Li Yi. So at this time, Shao Chen was actually stunned and stared at Eunuch Li without saying a word.
Li Yi frowned. But he laughed and said to Shao Chen: "Is this Shao Xiucai in front of you?"
Mr. Shao suddenly woke up and quickly replied: "That's right."
Eunuch Li praised: "He is indeed a young talent who is gradually becoming famous. I couldn't help but come out to greet him." He extended his hand and said, "Please come in and talk to me!"
Later, Mr. Shao followed Eunuch Li into the guarding eunuch's mansion.
When everyone around saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded and as if they were dreaming. They may have had thousands of expectations in advance, and even made the worst plans, but they never expected this scene.
This aloof guard eunuch read the letter and actually came out to receive him in person? His attitude was not angry, but very kind. It could even be said that he lowered his stature and deliberately made friends with scholars. It was simply incredible.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little excited. Could it be that there is really some awe-inspiring righteousness in the dark, which can force the dignified guarding eunuch Corporal Li Xian to bow to the scholars? Mr. Shao is mighty! They are also scholars, and they are honored.
The door was closed again, but this time everyone outside the door was no longer nervous, and they were talking about the possible outcome of today. If the eunuch can be forced to give in, those who participated in today's grand meeting will naturally have bright faces. They will also be in the future.
A qualification.
At this time, another person walked from the corner of the street. Everyone was talking and walking into the alley. No one noticed it. But this person slowly walked to the gate of the guarding eunuch's house. He still attracted attention.
Several people had already recognized who the visitor was, and introduced among themselves in whispers: "If you see correctly, this is Chun'an Fang Yingwu. He was very famous last month. His poems were excellent, and he also gave advice to the court."
At that time, he was called a small country scholar. But I don't know what he will do today."
Everyone looked at it and saw that Fang Yingwu also took out a document. He said loudly to the doorman: "I heard that a senior official of the Municipal Shipping Department beat a scholar to death in the street. People and gods were outraged! But Eunuch Li shielded the criminal and delayed the case.
If it cannot be settled, how is it any different from the accomplices... You should never report such bad deeds to the court to impeach the lawless person!"
Everyone immediately understood that the situation was the same as Mr. Shao, who also came to sign a petition. Unexpectedly, there was not only one person who had the courage, but also a second one!
It's a pity that there is already the first one. Although the second one is also worthy of admiration, it is relatively less outstanding. Fang Yingwu came a step too late.
Another person who kicked the nose and face and ran over to seek death? The gatekeeper was extremely displeased, but seeing the attitude of his master just now, he did not dare to neglect, took Fang Yingwu's letter, and went inside to report again.
No one was worried about Fang Yingwu's safety, after all, there was the example of Shao Chen just now. On the contrary, some envied Fang Yingwu's good luck, just in time to catch up to this point, and perform without risk.
To be honest, after Shao Chen was invited in by Corporal Li Xian, many people in the crowd were eager to give it a try and had some ideas. However, it is really inconvenient for people to stand outside and write articles. Even if they write now, they will inevitably be criticized by others.
Ridiculed, so everyone had to give up this idea for the time being.
Fang Yingwu's letter was obviously prepared in advance, and he also had the courage to hold the eunuch accountable. It was a pity that the timing was wrong and the maximum effect could not be achieved.
While everyone was chatting, they glanced at the door with their peripheral vision, wondering whether Eunuch Li would come out to greet him again?
At this time, the door of the guarding eunuch's mansion suddenly opened wide, and then a dozen wolf-like soldiers rushed out and surrounded Fang Yingwu.
"Are you Fang Yingwu?" the leader of the soldiers asked, looking up and down.
Fang Yingwu replied without fear: "That's right!"
"Pa!" The little leader suddenly stretched out a slap and slapped Fang Yingwu hard on the forehead. Fang Daxiucai couldn't hide, and his Confucian scarf was knocked to the ground, and his bun was also scattered.
It's almost enough if his hair isn't disheveled. He's really in a miserable state.
"You meddling in other people's business! You are so brave. You dare to question Eunuch Li, and you dare to write a letter to the court to impeach Eunuch Li?" The leader gritted his teeth and cursed: "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how to deal with it.
The prince has three eyes!"
Once again, everyone was surprised, and once again they were stunned. Why was it different from what they expected this time?
Before he could react, he saw that the soldiers over there had already moved their hands. He knocked Fang Yingwu to the ground with three punches and two kicks and used a cowhide rope to trap Fang Yingwu's hands. Then he was extremely rude.
They pulled Fang Yingwu up from the ground and dragged him to the guarding eunuch's house.
The soldiers dragged him away while cursing: "You ungrateful little sour boy. Once you enter the house, you will not be able to survive or die!"
Fang Yingwu didn't show any weakness and cursed loudly: "The sun is shining brightly. You and other lackeys and minions dare to act like this. You are like a wolf in the city! I am a man of merit and honor. Eunuch Li really dares to kill me again!"
Bang! The door was tightly closed again. But from inside came a few words of loud singing: "Shaobao said in front of his grave that he is a hero and lives up to his youth. It is not difficult to take justice calmly. I still remember the feelings of that day!"
Everyone witnessed this live scene with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but feel the same hatred in their hearts. They swept the floor gracefully, simply swept the floor gracefully!
However, Mr. Shao and Fang Yingwu also wanted to submit a petition for impeachment, but the contrast between their experiences was so huge that it was hard to understand!
One was kindly talked to and held in for discussion; the other was simply and roughly tied in with beatings and scoldings. It was very likely that he would be tortured inside.
This is how the same thing?
Everyone was collectively lost in thought. Somehow, they had the illusion that this moment suddenly fell from a dream into reality.
Before, Eunuch Li, Corporal Li Xian, seemed to be approachable and approachable, but it seemed to be an unreal, concocted dream, but the brutal and brutal scene just now was the cold reality.
When Shao Gongzi submitted the letter, the result was probably too shocking and beautiful, which caused them to fall into wishful thinking and excitement, causing them to ignore the mystery intentionally or unintentionally. Looking back now, there are indeed many flaws.
Even if the most senior civil servant governor in Hangzhou comes here, the guard eunuch may not be willing to come out to greet him. What kind of virtue and ability does Mr. Shao have to be able to bear the personal greeting and praise of the guard eunuch?
When it comes to achievements, I don’t know how much better Fang Yingwu is than Mr. Shao. He has a background as a governor, but he was humiliated. Is this Eunuch Li a fool who can’t distinguish between good and bad?
Before, the Shao family publicized Shao Chen's letter in advance with great fanfare. Aren't they afraid of completely angering Eunuch Li? Is it because the Shao family was sure that there would be no problems? So what confidence did the Shao family have?
Damn it! How can there be any awe-inspiring righteousness that can intimidate Xiao Xiao? Some are just double acts. Some are just eating human blood steamed buns at any cost! Some are just extremely hypocritical!
Everything in the world is afraid of serious consideration, and many people have thought of a truth. But no one has announced it to their mouths for the time being. In other words, they are not willing to admit that their justice and conscience have been taken advantage of, which seems too weak.
Compared with Shao Chen, a hypocrite who always acts in a high-profile manner, Fang Yingwu is an out-and-out low-key real man, a great man who truly dares to sacrifice his life for justice at critical moments!
Although they were deceived by the Shao family to serve as background, it was a worthwhile trip to witness Fang Yingwu's "martial sacrifice" today. Therefore, today's performance art can be defined as expressing solidarity and support for Fang Yingwu.
.
Shao Chen didn't know what was going on outside. He was invited into the house of the guarding eunuch and felt very cramped and depressed. Eunuch Li chatted with him casually and did not mention serious matters, which made him a little uneasy. So he took the initiative
Asked: "What does Mr. Li have to say about the eunuch of the Shipping Department beating the scholar to death? I would like to ask for your instructions."
Eunuch Li replied decisively: "After I study it carefully, I will definitely deal with it seriously!"
Young Master Shao didn't realize that this was a delay. He only thought it was an affirmative reply from the affirmative tone, and said happily: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Li, so I'll take my leave now."
Eunuch Li didn't try to hold him back. Young Master Shao didn't feel relaxed until he left the gate. He looked up at the sun and realized that everything he did today was perfect!
He scanned the outside again, and before the crowd dispersed, Mr. Shao took the initiative to get closer and said, "You have fulfilled your mission! Eunuch Li said he will deal with it seriously!"
But what surprised Mr. Shao was that he did not get the cheers he imagined. Instead, someone asked him: "How is Fang Yingwu?"
Why did Fang Yingwu suddenly mention him? Could it be that Fang Yingwu had been here just now? Mr. Shao thought to himself, but he did not hesitate to answer, "What do you care about that kind of hypocrite who is just fishing for fame?"
Now even Mr. Shao noticed it, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes... Only a few family members and comrades were very anxious. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
