Outsiders often find it baffling as to whether Lin Daguan gives face to others.
For example, he doesn't give face to Wang Shizhen, the leader of the world literary world, but he praises Yuan Hongdao without thinking, which is difficult for others to understand.
Others can only think that Lin Daguan is unpredictable and willful in his treatment of others.
In fact, this is all based on Lin Daguan's full rational consideration from a historical perspective.
Today, after the conflict between Lin Daguan and the Eight Lords of Donglin, he did not give face to the Eight Lords of Donglin. It is the same reason.
The behavior of the early Donglin Party members, with the Wuxi Gang as the main body, could be called anti-authority at best, and they scolded anyone on stage.
Moreover, his stance was extremely extreme. He especially liked to stand on the moral high ground and was strict with others. He was very picky when discussing people and matters. He especially liked to preach and never tolerated others. As a result, the Donglin Party was suppressed by the emperor and powerful ministers for twenty years.
Lin Daguan is destined to stand on the opposite side of the Donglin Party. This is not because Lin Daguan is from a gang.
Gao Panlong's family is a loan shark, won't he also be the leader of the Donglin Party in the future?
The real reason is that Lin Daguan's ideological and political ideas are too different from those of the Donglin Party members. In terms of actions, he likes to take shortcuts by clinging to powerful figures. He also hates moral kidnapping and being lectured on everything from zodiac signs to zodiac signs.
Totally inconsistent.
To put it abstractly, Lin Daguan’s style of life and work is like me inscribing the Six Classics, while Donglin party members’ style is like the Six Classics instilling me in them, so they are destined to be different people.
Since the future will definitely not be the same, since there is another conflict now, of course we will step on it hard.
But it was said that after Lin Daguan passed the customs in Wuxi County, he would leave the city and take a boat on the road.
But before he could reach the south gate, he was blocked by more than thirty government officials.
Official Lin didn't panic and stretched out his hand towards the Zhang brothers. Protector Zhang Wu on the right quickly put the iron whip in Lin Daguan's hand skillfully.
As for the yamen servants, it’s not like I’ve never been beaten before.
But Official Lin turned to Zhang Wu and yelled, "Idiot! You took the wrong thing!"
Then I saw Protector Zuo Zhang Wen take out a letter from the inside of his leather bag and hand it to Senior Official Lin.
Lin Tailai held up the envelope and yelled at the government servant: "This is a letter written by the customs envoy of Hushu to Jiangnan, entrusting me to deliver it to Xing Xun!
The stamp of the relevant department on the envelope is absolutely true! I would like to ask your county minister if you are willing to help deliver the letter!"
Yamen: "."
When you go out on errands, you are most likely to annoy someone with a strong relationship like this!
Therefore, Lin Daguan's people were able to get out of the city smoothly and board the boat. They continued along the canal and turned into the Yangtze River after reaching Jingkou.
Four days later, we saw the magnificent city wall, and the Ming Dynasty Nanjing City arrived.
Generally, most people coming from the downstream direction of the canal disembark at Longjiang Pass.
Lin Daguan temporarily left the Shenwei Lieshui, but his luggage was not unloaded. He took the Zhang brothers into the city to look for a place to stay.
After landing, we hired a carriage and entered the city through Yifeng Gate.
Everyone knows that the city of Nanjing has two walls: the outer city and the inner city. The southern half of the inner city is the essence.
Although other places within the city wall are large, they are either military camps or fields.
In fact, this is also the most intuitive difference between Nanjing City and Gusu City, the two major cities in the south of the Yangtze River today.
The city of Nanjing is really too big. Most of the places inside the city walls, especially the outer city walls, are fields. They are very empty and cannot be filled up at all. They are no different from the countryside.
The city of Suzhou is densely populated and begins to overflow to the outside of the city. Both the city and the city are full of urban scenery.
Longjiang Pass and Yifeng Gate are both at the northernmost end of Nanjing City, about ten miles away from the southern half of Licheng City. This shows how large Nanjing City is.
Seeing that the carriage entered the urban area from the north, Lin Daguan still had no intention of stopping or driving slowly to enjoy the scenery.
He just urged the carriage to continue on its way, heading straight for the southeastern corner of the city.
The Zhang brothers who were accompanying them were very surprised. Why don't they take a rest first after entering the city?
Lin Daguan explained: "I heard that the martial arts examination will be held at the Grand Campus in the southeast. We live directly in the southeast of Licheng and are relatively close to the Grand Campus, which is conducive to the examination."
When the carriage arrived at Wuding Bridge on the Qinhuai River, Lin Daguan greeted the Zhang brothers to get off.
As soon as I walked down from the south end of Wuding Bridge, a middle-aged man with a smile on his face came up to him and said hello:
"Friend, do you want to visit the old Nanqu courtyard? Mo Xiren can be your guide."
Lin Daguan then understood that this was a helper who specialized in eating this bowl of rice.
He pointed to the east and said, "The place is right in front of us. Why don't I go visit it myself? Why do I need your guide?"
Mo Xiren replied: "The lanes of the old courtyard are deep and quiet, the courtyards are densely covered, and there are no signs on the doors. There are no low-class women leaning against the doors to show off and laugh along the street. If you are not familiar with it, you may not be able to get what you want if you fall into it.
."
When the Zhang brothers heard this, they understood why they sat in the restaurant and went straight to the southeast of the city.
Whenever a man with some money in his pocket comes to Nanjing, how can he not visit the world's largest red light district on the south bank of the Qinhuai River?
"That makes sense, lead the way!" Lin Daguan nodded and said to Mo Xiren.
Mo Xiren was overjoyed, and with great enthusiasm, he led Lin Tailai to Chaoku Street, a road along the south bank of the Qinhuai River.
Lin Daguan was secretly surprised. Is the attitude of Nanjing's service industry so enthusiastic?
After walking a few steps, Lin Daguan immediately felt something was wrong again.
Anyone familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty knows that the Qinhuai River in Nanjing is an extremely special cultural landscape.
The north bank is the Gongyuan School of Prefecture, the south bank is the red light district, the north bank is full of scholars, the south bank is full of beauties, and they are linked to each other and leave countless romantic stories.
Now that the Provincial Examination is approaching, Nanjing is the time when scholars gather together and there are the most scholars. At least thousands of scholars rush to Nanjing.
So it stands to reason that the south bank of the Qinhuai River must have entered the best time for business.
The streets and alleys of the old courtyard should be bustling with people, with endless traffic, countless men and women walking around each other, and endless orchestral music and music.
But as far as Lin Tailai could see, he could only feel two words: deserted.
Along the way, I saw only three or five people on the street. It didn't look like the world's number one red light district at all.
This made Lin Daguan deeply suspicious. Could it be that he had come to a fake old Qinhuai courtyard?
"How many old Qinhuai courtyards are there in Nanjing?" Lin Tailai couldn't help but asked his guide Mo Xiren.
Mo Xiren smiled dryly and said: "There are still a few more, just here!"
Lin Tailai asked directly: "Then why is it so deserted?"
Mo Xiren replied: "Maybe the exam is approaching, and all students must focus on studying.
There are three hundred and sixty days in a year, so it’s normal to have a few deserted days.
Besides, whether it’s deserted or not, it won’t affect your visit, friend Lin, and it won’t affect you at all, and maybe the price will be cheaper!”
Lin Tailai thought it was reasonable. It would be better to save money in such a high-consumption place.
Mo Xiren pointed to the family in front and said, "There are four sisters in this family. They are all ladies. Do you want to go in for a face-to-face meeting?"
Lin Tailai didn't know the way, so he followed Mo Xiren in to take a look.
Not long after he came out again, Lin Daguan stood at the door and complained to Mo Xiren: "It looks too bland!"
Mo Xiren smiled and said: "Then I understand, I know whose house I'm going to!"
Suddenly, a small group of sergeants appeared at the entrance of the alley and walked towards this side.
Lin Tailai had no reaction, but Mo Xiren was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
But I heard the leader of the team yelling at Lin Tailai: "This friend violated the ban and entered and left the prostitute's house. Let's arrest him without mercy!"
Lin Tailai: "."
What the hell is this guy doing? Anti-pornography?
But after reading so many Ming Chuan articles on the Internet, I have never seen anyone who just wants to fight against pornography!
With such an indulgent culture in the late Ming Dynasty, who would be so well-fed that they could support the anti-pornography campaign? Even the Donglin Party would not do it!
Of course it's impossible to get caught without hesitation. If he was caught during the anti-pornography campaign, Senior Official Lin couldn't afford to lose that person!
Besides, he hasn’t done anything yet, which is such a huge injustice!
Taking advantage of the sergeant's unpreparedness, Lin Tailai advanced instead of retreating and rushed forward with a single stride.
The sergeants did not expect to encounter resistance. They were caught off guard and received several punches.
This kind of urban young master's army has little fighting power. After a few rounds, Lin Daguan knocked down all five people in the team!
Then he jumped towards the alley and escaped from the scene first!
Anyway, as long as he hides in the city, who knows what Lin Tailai has done!
As a result, before they could even rush out of the alley, they bumped into another team!
I saw a large group of people surrounding an official sedan, blocking the entrance of the alley and blocking the way of Official Lin.
The defeated soldiers behind him were lying on the ground, shouting at the top of their lungs.
When the official sedan team at the alley in front heard this, they immediately stopped the fleeing official Lin.
Lin Daguan was heartbroken and grabbed the two big sticks at the forefront of the opposing team, then waved them and hit them.
There are too many officials in Nanjing, and the official sedan is nothing. Moreover, this official sedan does not look luxurious and grand, so it probably does not belong to a big shot.
Again, as long as you can rush out and hide in Nanjing, a city with a population of millions, who knows? There is no big data or cameras in this era.
There were about eight pairs of people in front of the official sedan, and in the blink of an eye, six pairs were overturned by Lin Daguan's men.
The last four remaining people had never seen such a peerless man before. They backed away in panic, and then blocked the front of the sedan!
Official Lin rushed forward and directly hit the official in the sedan!
But Lin Tailai didn't want to go too far and shouted: "I have been wronged and have nothing to say. I just want to escape! I have no intention of harming you!"
Then I wanted to squeeze past the sedan. As long as I squeezed behind the sedan, I could escape from the alley.
But there were actually more than a dozen people behind the sedan, blocking the alley entrance.
In such a dense crowd, if Lin Daguan wanted to rush out safely, he would have to overturn the sedan first.
The official's bodyguards were already anxious and shouted: "Censor Hai Dazhongcheng is here, don't make any mistakes!"
Lin Tailai was stunned, Du Censor? Hai Dazhong Cheng?
At this time, the sedan curtain was suddenly opened, and the official in the sedan asked:
"I, Hai Rui, am here on patrol. Do you have any grievances? You can tell me."
Lin Tailai: "."
Damn it! Damn it! It turns out to be Hai Rui alive!
It’s no wonder that he is really stepping on the horse! Who else but Hai Rui can be so full and support the fight against pornography!
