An angry rebuke from the master came from outside the county government office.
Master Liang is a scholar, and none of the county police officers have ever seen Master Liang get angry.
Even if he gets angry, he won't yell like this.
Bai Song was in a cell close to the door, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.
I gave a lot of money to the government officials before, but it was not wasted.
The second time he was imprisoned, he did not receive any harsh treatment, but was rather cared for.
Hearing Master Liang's voice, Bai Song, who was groggy, did not wake up and sat down in Qiulai.
The prison guard was sitting opposite Bai Song, drinking. There was only a candlelight that was equally dim across the wooden fence.
The cell boss also heard that someone was coming, so he closed the wine glass, stood up, looked at Bai Song, and shook his head: "Hey, you are so disappointing, my master thinks highly of you, how could you expect that you would be a waste of money every day?"
Who are you to cause trouble? It’s not good to offend anyone. You can’t get along with those young masters from aristocratic families all day long! You don’t even think about your identity. Are those young masters from aristocratic families someone like you can easily provoke?”
Listening to the tone of the cell leader, there is still a hint of hatred that iron cannot become steel.
Bai Song yawned and did not answer.
The prison boss shook his head, took the key and went out to meet Master Liang.
The prison boss went out and didn't come back for a long time.
Bai Song didn't seem to care inside, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
This time is different from last time. Without the help of the Lin family, it is still unclear how things will end.
However, I was still silently comforting myself.
The Lin family's subordinates hated him, but the main family should understand his difficulties.
The more conflicts there are with the Lin family at this time, the more assured and satisfied the Zheng family will be with the Lin family, and the suppression of the Lin family should stop.
Although Bai Song also took this opportunity to avenge his personal revenge, he only beat up a collateral descendant.
Lin Ting should be able to stop some pressure from the Lin family for himself.
Just as I was thinking about it, a voice came from the cell next door: "Hey!"
It was dark inside the cell, except for an oil lamp at the door.
Bai Song only heard the sound and saw no one, so he responded towards the dark corner: "Ah."
"You are the ruthless person who beat the young master of the Zheng family, right?"
"how?"
"You are so powerful! You beat Young Master Zheng and your reputation spread. We are all talking about you on the street."
"Awesome? If you were really awesome, you wouldn't be locked up in jail."
"I heard that you beat up another young master of the Lin family this time?"
"yes."
"ox!"
The people in the darkness were talking, which soon attracted more people to discuss.
"Hey, I've heard of it too. That brother's name is Bai Song. He's married into the Lin family."
"Yes, yes, are the people from the Lin family annoying? Those people know how to bully the weak and fear the strong, and they must be punished by their brothers, right?"
"Hey, no! This brother, who in the Lin family is not polite to him? If he hadn't offended the Zheng family, he wouldn't have ended up like this. It's such a pity."
"Yes, beating the Lin family's young master is enough. I didn't expect that even the Zheng family's young master would dare to beat him. Brother, please don't be so impulsive in the future."
Because of Bai Song, the prison became lively.
Bai Song sat in the corner and bared his teeth. Hearing them talk more and more enthusiastically, Bai Song suddenly interjected: "The Zheng family is nothing. If I can go out this time, I will beat every one I see in the Zheng family."
What others said would definitely be regarded as bragging, but these words came from Bai Song's mouth.
All the prisoners in the cell gave a thumbs up.
People in the prison were talking, and people outside the prison were also arguing quietly.
"Master Chai, you can't control that kid. I was almost killed by him last time. I can't be confused again this time."
Master Liang was extremely anxious when he heard that Master Chai intended to give this boy a gentle punishment.
The last time he beat Mr. Zheng, Magistrate Chai took great risks to arrange for him to escape. Unexpectedly, instead of escaping, he turned back halfway.
Fortunately, Mr. Chai was not involved, otherwise Mr. Chai and Mr. Liang would not be able to stand here safely.
Chai Guan was hesitating.
He valued the disdainful energy in Bai Song's eyes, but this same energy caused him to frequently cause trouble in the county.
This made Chai Guan realize that that energy was the boy's strength and weakness.
If you only value his good qualities and don't look at the threats lurking in him, and want to cultivate him wholeheartedly, I'm afraid it will hurt yourself.
Magistrate Chai stood at the door with a straight face, seemingly determined, but actually he was a little shaken in his heart.
Master Liang didn't know what Mr. Chai was thinking and wanted to persuade him.
Magistrate Chai raised his hand to stop him: "It's getting late. Send that person here."
After saying that, Magistrate Chai turned around and entered the prison, and then entered the darkest interrogation room in the depths alone.
After a while, Bai Song was taken in by the cell leader. He was about to handcuff Bai Song, but was stopped by Magistrate Chai County.
"No need."
The cell leader was shocked: "Sir, this is inappropriate."
"It's just a scholar, what else can cause trouble?"
The prison boss stopped talking, but he was muttering in his heart, if this guy could be regarded as a scholar, there would be no gangsters in the world.
"You all step aside, I will have a chat with him alone."
The few people accompanying him felt that it was inappropriate, but Master Liang motioned for them all to go down.
Soon, only Bai Song and Magistrate Chai were left in the prison.
Today was the first time he faced Magistrate Chai. Bai Song was curious, wondering who this magistrate was and why he valued himself so much.
Although I am curious, it is also an honor to be valued.
Bai Song had no ill feelings towards the county magistrate. Through the dim light in the interrogation room, he could see that the magistrate was a decent and handsome man. He was not handsome, but he was clean and free-spirited. His official uniform was well-dressed and his official hat was secure.
Of course, only a few beards are a little split.
When people are there, they don't look cunning, they carry a sense of righteousness, but they feel a sense of closeness to where they live.
Magistrate Chai did not speak. Bai Song waited for a moment and then saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Chai."
"Thank me for what?"
"The Zheng family came to arrest me before, but Mr. Chai ordered someone to rescue me, gave me a carriage, and drove me away. This was a life-saving grace, and I will never forget it."
"Then do you know why I am helping you?"
Bai Song shook his head.
"Master Liang didn't mention it to you at all?"
"Master Liang said something, but after listening to it, I didn't quite understand it."
"I don't quite understand..." Mr. Chai looked at Bai Song and took a deep breath, "Hey... I'm still too young. It's hard to achieve greatness with just a single obsession in my heart."
"Sir, there's no one here, so don't pretend to be sophisticated. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"I'm helping you because I'm betting that you will become a great person in the future. You were born into a poor family, and in the future you can lead a poor family in the world to compete with nobles from all over the world, and fight for the respect and power that the poor people in the world deserve."
Bai Song frowned and imagined: "If I had heard this earlier, I would have put it behind me, but I have experienced a lot recently, and those so-called nobles are indeed disgusting. Now there is no need for adults to say more, I
I will also work hard to compete with the noble families of the world. As for representing and leading the poor people of the world, I am not interested yet. Moreover, my goal is also very simple. If the Zheng family is against me, I will deal with the Zheng family. If other noble families do not provoke me
, I won’t provoke them either.”
"Hahaha……"
After hearing what Bai Song said, Magistrate Chai suddenly stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
This smile was wild, profound, and full of joy.
Even people from the Bai and Song dynasties couldn't understand where the county magistrate's smile came from.
Just as he was wondering, Magistrate Chai's voice suddenly stopped, and he stared at Bai Song with burning eyes, which suddenly became a little moister.
"My child! I said the same thing as you..."
Bai Song frowned, thinking it was none of my business?
The magistrate of Chai County originally wanted Bai Song to ask questions so that he could recall the past years.
Unexpectedly, Bai Song didn't care at all and didn't react at all.
Magistrate Chai simply rubbed his eyes dryly and changed the topic to more serious matters.
"Ahem... I have my own selfish motives for helping you. I hope you can accomplish what I didn't dare to do back then. But you don't seem to understand my good intentions. Last time I asked you to leave to study in Suzhou and Hangzhou, you
You should leave. You don’t want to come back halfway and almost kill me. How long has it been since you burned down the Lin family paper factory and beat up the Lin family’s son? Do you know how many things you have caused in Mang County?
?”
"I know."
"It's good to know! If you still want me to help you secretly, you must not cause trouble after you leave. You must follow my arrangements and you can't hang around outside."
Bai Song finally became a little curious and asked: "Arrangements? What other arrangements are there?"
"If you don't want to leave Mang County, I won't force you. But you must go to school after you are released from prison. The cost of admission will be borne by me. As long as you study hard, I can ensure that you have enough food and clothing."
"Enrollment? Let me be a student?"
Bai Song pointed at himself, dumbfounded and wanting to laugh.
I thought to myself that I had been studying for more than 20 years and was finally able to teach students. However, I somehow traveled back to the Tang Dynasty again.
When I arrived in the Tang Dynasty, I was still not romantic and had to go to school? How is this possible?
And if you just talk about your own experience and knowledge, who in the world can teach you?
This is not Bai Song's arrogance, this is the reality.
Therefore, Bai Song was a little disdainful despite his astonishment.
Chai Guan also frowned: "Although you are arrogant, you have no practical knowledge. If you don't seize the time to learn, it will be difficult for you to be successful in the future."
"Sir, it's not that I'm arrogant. Looking at the world, I'm afraid no one can teach me. Don't talk about studying or anything like that. I'm not interested."
"This is not arrogance, this is arrogance!"
"So what if you are conceited? The faint sound of the bell sounds far away, and the shadow of the forest is hidden in Ten Thousand Crows. A lifetime of frustration has led to this day, and no one in the world is looking at the setting sun."
"..." Chai Guan was stunned for a moment and murmured, "I have been so angry all my life and now, no one in the world is looking at the setting sun..."
After one poem, Chai Guan had to admit that he underestimated his talent.
His understanding of the Bai Song Dynasty's knowledge is still limited to "love your dear" in Xiao Sui Ping.
The next song, "Flowing water knows the heart of a flower, fish and water are not sentimental, good people stoop to take care of them, that is Qing Qing", used in Xiaosui comments, combined with the scene of the day, it seems coquettish and moderate.
But in terms of poetic meaning alone, this kind of poetry can only be regarded as mediocre.
Therefore, Chai Guan believed that Bai Song's knowledge was lacking and was eager for him to learn more poetry.
Unexpectedly, during today's conversation, I casually wrote a poem, which was completely different from the poem in the Xiao Sui Review. It was full of momentum and extraordinary artistic conception, which is rare even for an expert.
Chai Guan was overjoyed and said anxiously: "Since you have practical knowledge, I will help you get rid of the crime. In exchange, you should take part in the autumn examination next year and gain fame."
