Regarding Huating Academy and Chen Ping, the magistrate did not know much.
However, as Chen Ping's reputation became increasingly prominent, he began to notice a hint of the reason for the ban on Huating Academy.
"Chen Ping offended them so much. It's no wonder that Huating Academy was sealed off. But now that the two sides are going to fight, I'm going to suffer."
Of course, Magistrate Jie knows a thing or two about the thieves Chen Ping has been pursuing. How could those people not have the support of important figures in the court?
In addition, the situation in the court is so tense now, and Chen Ping's every move may be involved in a bigger fight. The county magistrate has never thought about getting involved in the dispute, but he is in Yongshun County, and he has no control over it.
The final say.
The county magistrate is very worried, and there is one person in the county government who is even more worried than the magistrate!
Master Huang hurriedly got off duty and hurried towards his residence. He was sweating profusely on the way.
When he arrived at the Huang Mansion, he went straight to the backyard, opened the study door and screamed in pain.
"Father! Something happened!"
I saw an old man sitting in the study. Master Huang stepped forward quickly and was about to explain the matter clearly, but was interrupted by the old man.
"Needless to say, Chen Ping is back and wants to rebuild Huating Academy, right?"
Master Huang was stunned for a moment, then nodded crazily.
At this time, the old man pushed out the wheelchair and revealed his face.
"Who would have thought that a small peasant student in the academy could grow into the top scholar today?"
"Father..."
Master Huang blinked his eyes, as if he had thought of something, while his father sighed and muttered.
"What is supposed to come will eventually come. My father escaped this murderous disaster ten years ago, but now he cannot escape it."
Chen Ping didn't keep the Huang family waiting for too long. After paying homage to his master, he went straight to the county seat and came to the door.
Mr. Huang's appearance and surname made him pay more attention. After a little inquiry in Qingsong Town, he sorted out the clues. At this time, he rushed to the Huang Mansion just because of the events of that year.
Under the guidance of Master Huang, Chen Ping met his old friend from ten years ago.
"Huang County Cheng, I haven't seen you for many years!"
Huang Laosan chuckled, thinking about what happened back then, he couldn't help but feel that fate was playing tricks on people. He sat in a wheelchair and cupped his hands and said: "The grudges of the past can only be resolved today. I would like to congratulate you for being the number one scholar."
"Tell me about it. You should have a lot to say to me, right?"
......
As a witness to the events of the eighth year of Tianqi, Huang Laosan knew many, many things. Moreover, he had been paying attention to Chen Ping these years, and it was already the evening after a long conversation.
"Your Excellency, you should know that I and others are just minions working below, and the capital is the home base of those people. Everything I know has been explained to you, and it is up to you to decide whether to kill or behead."
Huang Laosan exhaled a breath of turbid air, which seemed to have opened up the knots in his heart that had been tied up for many years, and his face was filled with relief.
Chen Ping took a deep breath and realized that there was no point in arguing with Huang Laosan and the others, so he stood up and prepared to leave. After taking two steps, he turned back.
"Now, that son of yours is working as a clerk in the county government, right? Let him resign and go back to stay there."
Watching Chen Ping go away, Master Huang, who was hiding behind the screen, hurried over and asked: "Father, my son, Master..."
Huang Laosan frowned and shouted: "Didn't you hear what the Lord said? Why don't you go and write your resignation?!"
......
"How was it? How was the harvest?"
"It's okay, not really useful information, but it may be useful in the future."
Chen Ping waved his hand, Xie Zhiyuan curled his lips after seeing it, muttered something pretentious, and then followed Chen Ping to the county government office.
When I went to the county government office, I went to see County Magistrate Jie. I heard that Chen Ping asked him to write to the Magistrate of Qianzhou to apply for a retrial on the case of thieves involved in Huating Academy. Magistrate Jie was not aware of the seriousness of the matter, so he cautiously agreed.
Things in Yongshun County were generally settled, and Chen Ping immediately got up and went to Zhengxing Mansion.
The affairs of Qianzhou have to be managed by the magistrate of Qianzhou. He really wants to know who has been slandering Huating Academy and Master.
When they came out of the county government office, a circle of students from Yongshun County School gathered outside. Because they learned that Chen Ping was lecturing at Jiangxia Academy, when they found out that Chen Ping was back, they rushed to ask for advice from Chen Ping. 2.
Originally, Chen Ping was in a hurry. Thinking that these students were all children from his hometown in Yongshun County, and there were not many of them, he took some time to answer their questions.
This delay meant that the time to arrive at Zhengxing Mansion was two days later.
"Hey Chen Ping, it won't be easy for you to return to Qianzhou like this!"
"There is no free day these days. It takes us half a month to leave Beijing. When are you going to go back?"
When Xie Zhiyuan mentioned this, Chen Ping suddenly realized, has it been so long since he came back?
Thinking of the situation in the capital and the emperor's health, Chen Ping couldn't help but become anxious, and said to Xie Zhiyuan: "Hurry, hurry, find out the situation in Qianzhou and return to the capital."
You can't stay too long in Qianzhou, not to mention that the emperor and the court will not allow it, even Chen Ping himself wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with the matter.
From the information received from the emperor and Su Chengli, it can be judged that chaos is coming, and he must be fully prepared before it happens, otherwise not only to fulfill his mentor's long-cherished wish, but also his own life may be ruined!
Zhengxing Mansion.
This is the place where the Qianzhou government is located. When Chen Ping was giving lectures at Jiangxia Academy, his name spread among the students in Zhengxing Prefecture.
After all, just the title of Six Yuan Number One Scholar is enough to make these scholars excited, not to mention that Chen Ping lectures and preaches at Jiangxia Academy.
When Chen Ping arrived at Zhengxing Fucheng, the Qianzhou scholars who heard the news took action and blocked him in the inn.
"Chen Ping, you kid, don't ask me to go out with you again. Now I seriously suspect that you are using me as a shield!"
Xie Zhiyuan looked at the crowd of scholars outside the inn and felt like his head was about to split. The pressure of walking with Chen Ping suddenly increased.
"These guys only pay attention to you, but they don't see the charm in me. They are really a bunch of mediocre people!"
Chen Ping smiled and waited in the inn.
It didn't take long for the outside of the inn to become noisy until someone came upstairs and asked Chen Ping to go to the prefect's Yamen for a meeting.
Following the guidance of the yamen servants, Chen Ping and others walked towards the prefect's yamen, while the scholars followed closely. The scene was quite interesting.
"Congratulations to Mr. Chen for being the top pick in high school! Please!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome, please!"
In front of the magistrate's office, when Chen Ping arrived, the magistrate of Qianzhou actually went out to greet him, which was a great honor.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Chen Ping, the magistrate of Qianzhou, didn't care about the appearance. After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them entered the Yamen side by side.
This scene fell into the eyes of the scholars outside the yamen, and it was really a great inspiration.
You must know that the prefect of Qianzhou, as the chief official of the entire Qianzhou and a second-rank official of the imperial court, is showing an equal attitude towards Chen Ping at this moment. This is all because he won the top prize!
