Looking around, scanning the faces with unkind expressions, Li You was still quite nervous, and the last bit of alcohol had gone away. Why did he unknowingly fill up the hatred value? There is nothing to worry about for one or two people. But having hundreds of them together is very troublesome.
Zhang San has never encountered anything like this since he followed Li You. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, hoping that his master would come up with an effective solution quickly.
These people lack a leader and core, and there is no one to cheer and guide them, so it is not difficult to deal with... After Li You thought about it from his perspective, he came to the conclusion that he could not intensify his emotions. The more arrogant he was, the more miserable he would end up.
He made a prompt decision, bowed to the people around him and said, "Dear gentlemen! Can someone come out and talk to me? I don't know why you are surrounded here."
Wang Dalang, one of the two guards sent by Mr. Zhao Liangren, the censor of Zuodu, suddenly stepped forward, blocked Li You with his body, half-drawn his sword and scolded the crowd in a sharp voice: "What do you want to do with the imperial magistrates surrounding you?" If you don’t leave quickly, don’t blame someone for being rude!”
The wind was rustling and the water was cold... Li You was startled at first, then became numb...
What a familiar scene. It seemed that I had instigated others to play this trick once when I was in Suzhou Mansion. I didn't want the same clumsy trick to appear again today, and it would probably be equally effective.
Only then did Li You remember that Zhao Liangren was a man who, in order to become the censor of Zuodu, was worried that the government and the public would talk about the Zhao family, so he suppressed his own brother at home so that he would not be able to recover.
The second master Zhao Liangyi, who is very interested in becoming an official, has reached the third rank of officialdom. In order to avoid suspicion, he still lives at home. Thanks to his broad mind, he can still endure it.
If brothers are like this, what does it matter if he, Li You, takes advantage of a little Qipin whom he has just met? It's okay to be used, but not saying hello beforehand is too disrespectful.
People he doesn't like are worthless, and people he likes don't like him. Master Li's eyes seem to conjure up a grand picture, but he is the only one in the vast world, standing there lonely and confused... Doing Since becoming an official, I have never been as eager as I am now to have classmates, teachers and students of the same age.
But Li You soon came to his senses. There were obviously two endings to this matter. One was that he was treated as an abandoned son by Mr. Zongxian, and the other was that he was given some compensation by Mr. Zongxian. But Mr. Zhao had two choices. , Li You now has only one way to go.
If you are being used, you must be aware of being used, and Mr. Li has always been a very aware person. Thinking of this, he immediately gritted his teeth and stood in front of Wang Dalang, which was like going into battle shirtless in person.
I saw him scolding in a louder voice: "This life is involved in a major case. I am here to ask, are you going to gang up and cause chaos? Get out of my way!"
Although the Imperial College had little power, and the actual status of its graduates was very low due to the imperial examination, it was, after all, the face of the country's Imperial College and the highest theoretical institution of higher education. As a rule, the emperor had to conduct symbolic inspections and lectures once a year.
It is rare to see arrogant and domineering people here (a group of barefooted scholars came to be domineering after eating enough). Suddenly the supervisors were in an uproar and yelled incessantly. If they were not afraid of Wang Dalang Erlang's sword, most of them would have gathered around and started to fight. Moved my feet.
Li You in the room scolded him a few times, then turned around and kicked the unknown prisoner who was tied up. His already full hatred level immediately reached its upper limit.
After a few hard kicks, Li You took a peek at the crowd around him and found signs that someone was about to make a move. He couldn't help but ask his ancestors for blessings and pray that he could escape alive.
At the critical moment, reinforcements suddenly descended. The Imperial Supervisor in charge of supervision rushed to the scene in time, squeezed in front of Li You and shouted: "Why is it you again!"
Li You glanced at the robe and patchwork of the supervisor. He saw that he was only an eighth-grade supervisor. It was enough to bluff the supervisor, but it was not enough to frighten him. He pointed at the supervisor's nose and said, "How did you become a supervisor?"
Are you going to ask all the people to gather around here and cause trouble? Don’t let them disperse!"
The prison chief was knocked upside down, and he glared at Li You and said: "This sir is so rude! If you make mistakes in this life, you will be punished by the prison rules. Why are you bound here? Otherwise, why would everyone in this life encounter injustice on the road?"
Li Youdao: "He insulted and beat the court officials first. I can't trust you, so I will naturally take him to the Yamen to deal with him! Do you want to protect him?"
You really shouldn't have come! The supervisor was trembling with anger at Mr. Li, and he regretted making this trip. If he just let it go and let this seemingly well-connected seventh-grade official be beaten by the supervisor in front of his eyes, he, the supervisor, would basically be the same.
Even if he works to the end, the court will not reason with him.
But what makes him angry is that this young and stupid arrogant guy has no vision at all. He keeps provoking public anger here. If he, an innocent prisoner, is beaten, he will have to bear the responsibility. This really makes people want to stab him.
Hacked to death, how could he be so stupid as to be considered a seventh-grade person?
Just as the eunuch was considering whether to invite the sacrificial wine or the secretary to suppress the evil spirits, another group of people crowded in, but they were all dressed as soldiers.
The leading officer in the Jinyi coat was a manly figure with a big face and thick eyebrows. He glanced at Li You a few times and shouted: "Received a report that there is a person pretending to be a censor here. Can it be you?"
Who are these people? Li You frowned and said: "I am not pretending to be a censor, who are you waiting for?"
The officer reported his family background: "I am He Dayong, the deputy commander of the Beicheng Army and Horse Department. Please follow me to the Yamen for questioning!"
Although the capital city is divided into two counties, Wanping and Daxing, public security is not under the jurisdiction of the county government. Instead, five city military and horse divisions in the east, west, south, north, and middle have been set up to take responsibility for each area.
The Bingma Division is a sixth-grade yamen. Its main officials include commanders and deputy commanders, and a number of soldiers under its jurisdiction. Its work is similar to a combination of local inspections and arrests.
Deputy Commander He Dayong was on duty at the Beicheng Military and Horse Department today. When he heard a report that a person pretending to be a censor appeared in the Imperial College, He Dayong felt that the opportunity to make a great contribution had come and personally led the soldiers to capture the suspect.
It turned out that the Yamen in charge of public security and crime cases came. Li You suddenly changed his expression and said: "It's ridiculous! I am a seventh-grade official, so I need to pretend to be a censor? How can I follow a soldier like you back to the Yamen? It's too presumptuous!"
Seeing Li You's courage, He Dayong grumbled in his heart, but looking at it like this, the suspect seemed to be very confident...
Then he said cautiously: "I've been offended. Can I go to trial?"
Li You went to the Ministry of Etiquette today to do some work. He happened to have the official notice with him, so he took it out and sneered and threw it to He Dayong.
He Dayong took it and checked it, secretly regretting that he really shouldn't have come!
The Wucheng Army and Horses Division is just a sixth-grade yamen. The commander and deputy commander are all military attachés. Their position in the capital can be imagined. In fact, they can only control the common people. The dignitaries and officials really can't. Those people are other people.
The city patrol censor sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for picketing, and the soldiers and horses usually run errands with the city patrol censor.
Deputy Commander He held Master Li's official complaint like a hot potato. Although he and Li You were of similar rank, it was recognized that military attachés had low status and their rank was worthless, so they could not hold their heads high in front of civilian officials of the same level.
After receiving the report, he originally thought that there was a bold scoundrel pretending to be an official, and he would have made a great contribution by catching and solving the case. Unexpectedly, the person turned out to be a genuine seventh-grade official. Even if he pretended to be a censor, he would not be able to catch him...
There are too many things in the capital that are unclear and uncontrollable. Who knows what is hidden here?
