There is no need to elaborate on who Hai Rui is and how famous he is.
Regarding Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian, you only need to remember a few key words - selflessness, harshness, compassion for the people, etiquette and moral templates, as well as paranoia and rigidity, and being unsociable.
Originally, Lin Daguan was wondering whether he had been raped by an "immortal", but after hearing the name Hai Rui, he could immediately deduce that he was really raped by the anti-pornography gang.
In the context of the late Ming Dynasty, "anti-pornography" was definitely something that only people like Hai Rui could do.
He never expected that when he first arrived in Nanjing, he would bump into Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian, and even meet him in a way that led to him being targeted for pornography. Then he resisted fiercely and beat Hai Qingtian's subordinate.
Lin Tailai looked around curiously and saw that the person in the sedan was thin, with a sickly face, and extremely old.
This can be reconciled with historical memory. This year Hai Rui should be 72 years old, with only the last two years of his life left, and was placed as a mascot by Emperor Wanli in the position of censor of Nanjing Youdu.
"What grievances do you have?" Seeing Lin Tailai in a daze, Hai Rui asked again seriously.
So Lin Tailai was even more speechless. He just said "I've been wronged" casually just to get through, but he didn't expect that Hai Rui actually took it seriously.
If you were an ordinary official, it would be better to do less than to do more. If you hear someone complaining about injustice, you should run away quickly.
Or for the sake of your own safety, keep the "murderer" away from you as soon as possible and ignore this sentence.
Only Hai Rui, who was regarded as a noble figure by the people, heard the word "injustice" and immediately took it seriously.
Lin Tailai could only sigh and explain: "I am Lin Sheng from Suzhou and came to Nanjing to take the exam.
I just went in to listen to music and drink tea, looked at people and said a few words, and then came out.
He was arrested for no apparent reason without doing anything else. It is really unjust!"
Hai Qingtian's speech was not as "irritable and harsh" as many people imagined, and he said in a very calm tone:
"You are not unjust. This court has already banned people. Before the results of the provincial examination are released, the public will be punished. Anyone who enters or exits a prostitute's house will be punished."
Lin Tailai finally understood why the south bank of the Qinhuai River not only did not have the triennial "Carnival" scene, but was so deserted.
Then he continued to explain: "I just entered Jinling City today, and I haven't heard about the ban yet. Anyone who doesn't know it is not guilty and should be dealt with lightly."
Hai Rui still said calmly: "Then you are even more unjust.
He just got off the boat and rushed to the old courtyard of Nanqu. He did not act in the right way and had a lustful heart. On the contrary, he should be severely punished."
Lin Tailai can only say that this inhumane and sincere person is worthy of being the best in the world!
Anyway, Officer Lin was finally forced to endure it no longer, and he originally thought it would be over with a calm explanation.
After overcoming the awe of his sudden encounter with Hai Qingtian, he asked: "What basis does the boss have for issuing this ban?
You can't just say what you say, sir, and you can do whatever you want, right?"
Hai Rui, who was the second-rank imperial censor of the capital, did not get angry when he was questioned. Instead, he answered in detail:
"The basis is based on the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao, which states that officials and students are not allowed to listen to singing, and are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes."
Lin Tailai: "."
Convinced! This is really too much of Hai Rui!
It has been two hundred years since Emperor Taizu Gao issued this edict. Who is still acting in accordance with it?
He suddenly remembered that Hai Rui seemed to have written to Emperor Wanli in the past two years, requesting the reinstatement of the "peeling off the skin and making the grass" punishment for corrupt officials.
Compared with the "peeling the skin and making the grass", the crackdown on pornography in the Qinhuai River according to the imperial edict issued by Emperor Gao two hundred years ago is really child's play.
Unable to convince Hai Qingtian through normal means, Lin Daguanren began to enter the sophistry mode that he was better at.
"Just now, the old man said that Emperor Gao's edict restricted officials and students.
However, since I am neither an official nor a student, I am not subject to this edict, so I am not subject to the prohibition of the boss."
A trace of surprise finally flashed across Hai Qingtian's calm face, "You are not a student? What did you just say about taking the exam?"
Candidates who come to take the provincial examination must be students from schools in various places. The students in the imperial edict of the Emperor of Gao refer to students from schools at all levels.
Lin Daguan, who had been pretending to be Wensheng since leaving Suzhou, was very embarrassed at this time and replied in a low voice: "I am a martial arts student and came to Nanjing to take part in the martial arts examination."
Hai Rui: "."
You call yourself Lin Sheng, you wear a wide robe, a green shirt with long sleeves, a square scarf, and standard scholar uniform, but you turn out to be a martial arts officer?
"Since martial arts officers have the name of martial arts officers, they should also be regarded as students!" Hai Qingtian's tone finally became less plain and slightly raised.
At this time, the conversation had entered the rhythm of Lin Daguan, and he continued to quibble easily:
“During the time of Emperor Gao, there was actually no martial arts course, so there was no such thing as a martial arts officer.
Therefore, in the imperial edict of Emperor Gao mentioned by Mr. Lao, the word student definitely does not include military students.
Unless there is another edict from the emperor, military students will be added specifically.
Since the ban is based on the imperial edict of Emperor Gao, this military officer is still not bound by the ban."
Official Lin's interpretation of the imperial edict is well-founded and completed in one go!
Hai Qingtian couldn't help but be stunned. He thought it was just a small matter, he just caught a scholar who was having sex with a prostitute, and then punished him in public.
But I didn't expect that the other party could deny and argue to such an extent, and be more truthful than myself!
But if the world thinks that Hai Rui is a pedantic figure who can be bullied and has no tricks, then they are totally wrong!
Hai Rui can also use magic to defeat magic!
Hai Rui immediately spoke again: "According to the laws of Emperor Gao's ancestors, everyone in the world has their own custom-made uniforms.
The crown and clothes you wear are the common clothes of Confucian scholars or the descendants of Jin gentry. Wearing them on you is against the rules!
Moreover, he deliberately misleads and confuses the world, which is an even greater crime!"
Official Lin replied without thinking: "I am the chief of the county examination, the chief of the government examination, and a child preparing to take the college examination!"
According to the imperial system, children are allowed to wear green shirts and Confucian scarves, which are considered to be an encouragement to study and progress, so there is nothing illegal about wearing the official uniform."
Hai Qingtian choked immediately and was almost speechless.
What the hell is this? Two academic leaders in liberal arts and one person in martial arts, no three or four? Can the variety be more diverse?
He subconsciously reprimanded: "Since you are the head of the county case, you should concentrate on studying at home and come carefully to the New Year's College Examination!
But you are so restless and restless, why did you come to Nanjing?"
Official Lin was secretly surprised, and he responded calmly, but why was Hai Qingtian still a little impatient?
He replied in his mouth: "I have just reported that I came to Nanjing to take part in the martial arts examination!"
The answer is over, forming a perfect logical closed loop of escape from guilt!
Hai Rui: "."
He suddenly discovered that from a "legal" point of view, it seemed that the person in front of him could not be punished.
As for deliberately framing someone, Hai Rui would definitely not do it because his moral values would not allow it.
But the person in front of me is obviously not a "good citizen". He seems to be in need of a lesson. He should be dealt with carefully. Should he just let him go?
Official Lin spoke again: "I have always heard that Mr. Lao is known as Qingtian in this world, and he is extremely fair in his judgment of matters. I think he will not force me to be wronged. If there is nothing else, just leave it alone."
Hai Qingtian suddenly felt that his Taoist heart was a little unstable and his thoughts were not clear.
In the past few years, I felt that my inner cultivation had been greatly improved and my state of mind had become indestructible. I didn't expect that there would be some signs of breaking through today.
"Wait a minute!" Hai Rui stopped Lin Tailai. He did not allow any loopholes in his Taoist heart.
Official Lin asked cautiously: "What else do you want, Sir?"
Although this is Hai Qingtian who is famous for being impartial and selfless and will not frame others, he is still a censor after all.
Hai Rui added: "Today's scholarly atmosphere has become degenerate. Everywhere I look, there are so many people who are collaborating with others. I can't help but feel pain in my heart because our country has supported scholars for two hundred years.
If we cannot cheer up and refresh ourselves, our awe-inspiring spirit will cease today.”
Official Lin blinked his big eyes and looked at Hai Qingtian innocently.
Lin Tailai cannot be blamed for such a big thing as the world's decline. It is not Lin Tailai who took the lead in the corruption.
In fact, to be honest, in Lin Daguan's mind, the so-called declining social norms are not a big deal, at least not the most serious matter in today's society, and there is no reason to compete with the world's ethics.
But just think about this point of view in your own mind, and there is no need to argue with people like Hai Rui.
After finishing the previous part of the foreshadowing, Hai Rui thought it was natural for him to turn to the topic: "This hospital needs talents like you."
Lin Tailai: "???"
Hai Qingtian, don’t you think your transition is very abrupt?
Then I heard Hai Rui continue to say: "This court wants to recruit you as a member for one month."
As a person with "fame", of course he has the qualifications to be recruited as a subordinate by the big boss.
By convention, most of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, except those who are in charge of the affairs of the court, are "single officials". There are no subordinate officials, and additional subordinates must be recruited to handle errands.
But Official Lin didn't understand very much. Why was Hai Rui looking for him? What could he do?
Could it be that Hai Qingtian was tired of preaching and wanted to change his thinking and use force to promote ideas?
However, there was no need for official Lin to ask questions. Hai Rui took the initiative to reveal his purpose:
"As for your duties, you are to inspect the old Nanqu Courtyard on my behalf before the end of the rural examination, uphold our prohibitions, and rectify the promiscuous habits of the scholars. For this reason, we will allocate one hundred sergeants to you."
Lin Tailai: "."
According to Lin Daguan's understanding, this job is to be responsible for the special "anti-pornography" operation, which sounds easy.
But you can't just take everything at face value. Could Hai Rui's thoughts be that simple?
If you stereotype that Hai Rui is a nerd with no means and only incompetent preaching, then you are totally wrong.
Let a person who has just been almost caught in the anti-pornography campaign be put in charge of the anti-pornography campaign. How can the famous Hai Qingtian be so stupid?
But no matter what Hai Rui's purpose was, Lin Tailai didn't want to do it at all.
Hai Rui, a selfless moral model, is indeed worthy of respect, but it would be very uncomfortable to get close to him, so it is better to stay away from him.
So official Lin declined politely and said, "I am young and have little knowledge. How can I be qualified to take on such an important task?"
Hai Rui replied: "This job is extremely simple, not complicated, and does not require any experience. It only requires selflessness."
Lin Tailai said firmly: "I don't have much ability to handle errands. It's really inappropriate for me."
But Hai Rui said without any doubt: "How come you are not suitable? This court has seen with our own eyes that you are good at literary and military matters, able to argue the law through literature, and able to suppress with force. You are extremely suitable!"
Official Lin wanted to refuse directly, but the old man in front of him was not only Hai Qingtian, but also a second-level imperial censor.
The imperial censor of the capital wanted to recruit a copywriter and martial arts officer, but he had no right to refuse.
"Have a good time doing your work! Don't let me down!" Hai Rui encouraged him casually, then added: "But if you violate laws and disciplines, I will still punish you severely!"
The first sentence is polite, the latter sentence is the key point.
Lin Daguan suddenly realized what Hai Qingtian was thinking, and he deliberately put himself in this position.
If you commit even the slightest violation of law or discipline, you can justifiably punish yourself!
Hai Qingtian is indeed not a pedantic idiot, he is also very capable!
Afterwards, Hai Rui ordered Lin Tailai to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate within two days and then go on duty on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.
Then Hai Rui got on the sedan chair and left first.
He is too old and his health is not good. It would be a good idea to find a young man to patrol the streets instead.
Official Lin watched Hai Rui's official sedan leave. Considering that he was a second-grade censor of the capital, Hai Rui's travel standards were not high.
Just now he saw the plain official sedan chair and simple etiquette, and thought he was just an ordinary official, not big or small.
After all, Nanjing was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty in terms of structure, with a complete set of replicas of the imperial institutions.
Therefore, in the city of Nanjing, there are so many official officials in name only that it is not surprising to bump into a few occasionally.
But who would have thought that the official in this low-key sedan was actually Hai Rui himself, and he didn't even show the leading sign.
Lin Daguan let out a long sigh, wondering why his fate was so miserable.
Unluckily for me, I bumped into Hai Rui when I entered the city. Now my life in Nanjing has become difficult!
The first is that the errands are difficult to handle. The targets of Hai Qingtian's ban are officials and scholars. Wouldn't it offend people by going against pornography?
If the objects of the ban were only businessmen and the like, he would not even blink an eye at the official Lin's job!
The second is that the leader is difficult to serve even if he has bad intentions. Hai Rui himself is a very strict person at work, so he might want to wait for himself to make a mistake!
For example, if you are afraid of offending others and indulge others privately, that would be a serious crime of dereliction of duty in Hai Rui's eyes!
After meeting up with the Zhang brothers, Zuo Protector Zhang Wen said: "Actually, it won't be difficult, right?
Now Hai Qingtian's ban has no effect on you. You can go in and out of beauties' homes at will.
At the same time, you are responsible for replacing Hai Qingtian as a patrol officer, so who among them would dare to ask you for money?"
Lin Tailai: "."
Thinking about it this way, does it make sense? What is it like to spend a month in the entire Qinhuai Old Hospital for free?
So the question is, from a technical point of view, does this count as a crime of bribery?
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a wretched figure out of the corner of my eye, trying to sneak out of the alley.
Official Lin couldn't help shouting angrily: "Mo Xiren, you old bastard, stop right there!"
If Mo Xiren, a big loser, hadn't taken him around the old Qinhuai courtyard, would he have been so unlucky?
The key is that this big scammer didn’t reveal the news about the anti-pornography scandal, so he was caught by Hai Rui!
Then Lin Daguanren chased after him with his long legs, and knocked Mo Xiren to the ground with a slap from behind.
There are a lot of chores tomorrow, so I may not be able to guarantee the number of words in the update, sorry!
