Xu Jin wrote a poem "Picking Wood", and most of the candidates in the courtyard followed the farewell with enthusiasm, and the originally lively courtyard was instantly deserted, leaving only a dozen candidates who had dedicated poems to stand in place in amazement.

The atmosphere is cold and awkward!

A layer of fine sweat oozed from the forehead of the prefect Lu Kang, and the expression of the Qincha Guo Zirui was complicated, while the deputy envoy Lai Gonggong was still eating the dishes with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Brother Zhu, the prince of King Ning, had a gloomy face, and anger burned in his chest, but there were more doubts and horrors in his eyes.

Because this "Picking Wood Map" is a metaphorical poem written by King Ning's concubine Concubine Lou a month ago to euphemistically advise King Ning not to rebel.

At that time, King Ning tore up this poem on the spot, and the prince Zhu happened to be present, he watched his father tear this poem apart, how did Xu Jin and his scholars know? You must know that this matter is also a secret in King Ning's Mansion, and few people know about it!

"Could it be...... Could it be that Fei Hong's old horseman actually planted eyeliner in the palace? As soon as King Ning thought of this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and the anger in his chest instantly turned into a chill.

The more Ning Wang Shizi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, he definitely didn't believe that it would be such a coincidence, Xu Jin would actually write a poem that coincided with Concubine Lou, so he thought that Xu Jin heard about this exhortation poem from Fei Hong, and Fei Hong got it from Ning Fu's eyeliner.

"No, I have to send someone to notify my father to investigate and find out the spies hidden in the palace, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

When Prince Ning thought that every move in his family was being monitored by the spies, he felt a chill in his heart, God knows if Fei Hong would order the spies to poison, if that was the case, his family would die unjustly.

It should be mentioned here that Concubine Lou is the daughter of Lou Liang, the great Confucian of Shangrao County, that is, the niece of Lou Wei, the head of Xinjiang Academy.

Concubine Lou was born in a scholarly family and was a talented woman, and the poem "Picking Wood" was written by her to persuade her husband King Ning not to rebel, but King Ning, who was obsessed with ghosts, couldn't listen to it and tore the poem to shreds on the spot.

Xu Jin didn't know that his poem "Cai Qiao Tu" would make Ning Wang Shizi suspicious, he just wanted to use this poem to show his attitude and draw a clear line with Ning Wang Group.

After all, the prince of King Ning was present at this dinner, and he was the head of Lu Kangdian's case, although Fei Hong would definitely believe in himself, but if King Ning rebelled in the future, the court might be in trouble when he tracked it down.

You must know that the feudal society's Zhulian system is extremely cruel, barbaric and unreasonable, and rebellion is a major crime of the Zhujiu clan.

In order to prevent trouble, Xu Jin deliberately wrote this poem "Picking Wood", so that even if someone wants to attack him in the future, it will be impossible.

Of course, this is to risk provoking King Ning, but the two powers benefit each other, and the two powers harm each other, and King Ning is just a disease of scabies, and the rebellion failed and was captured in less than two months, so Xu Jin would rather take the risk of angering King Ning, and also pick himself out, otherwise I am afraid that this government trial case will become a stumbling block for himself after the first day.

Besides, Xu Jin walked out of the gate of the mansion, called Erniu, who was waiting at the outer gate, and planned to leave as soon as possible, he was really a little worried that the prince of Ning Wang would be annoyed, and he also sent someone to intercept and beat him halfway, and even simply poisoned him.

"Case Chief Xu, wait a minute!"

"Xu's case is the first to stay!"

Xu Jin had just taken a few steps before he chased out five people behind him, who were the five classmates of Xinjiang Academy, and they chased after him excitedly.

Xu Jin stopped in amazement and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Xue, Brother Jiang...... What are you? ”

"Case Chief Xu, just now you promised to write a congratulatory birthday message to King Ning, we still think you are spineless, and you are embarrassed to our Xinjiang Academy, but I didn't expect Brother Xu to write a poem of advice, which is really ashamed of us!"

"That's right, the loyal and brave man of the Xu case, Haoran and upright, is really a model for my generation of scholars!"

"Case Chief Xu, in order to prevent Prince Ning from retaliating, we have decided to send you back to your residence together!"

"Yes, this time we must not let the heroes who dare to speak out be harmed, let's go, let's send Xu Case First home together!"

At this time, one after another, candidates came out of the palace and joined the ranks one after another, excitedly saying that they would send Xu Jin home together, lest Xu Jin be broken like Min Shixun in Yushan County.

Xu Jin wrote the poem "Picking Wood Map" just to pick himself up, but he didn't expect to win the strong support of a group of candidates, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said loudly: "Xu Jin thanked you for your kindness in the same year, and I will pay attention to safety in the future, so I don't have to bother you!" ”

"It's not troublesome at all, the head of the Xu case is not afraid of power, he is iron-clad, what is it if I just take a few more steps, do you say?"

"Exactly, don't shirk the head of the case, we will never allow the head of the Xu case to be hurt by the gangsters again!"

Xu Jin was helpless, since everyone insisted, he couldn't say anything, so dozens of people surrounded Xu Jin and went to the West Market.

Erniu was confused all the way, and he didn't understand why these scholars had to send Uncle Shi, and it was a large group of people, was this full of food and support?

A group of scholars sent Xu Jin to the door of the house in Xishi, and then they said goodbye and dispersed, which may be the cuteness of the young people in the second middle school.

……

"Case Chief Xu!"

"Good morning, Xu case-first!"

Xu Jin returned to Xinjiang Academy in the morning, and the classmates he met stopped to greet him warmly, and he could see the adoration in his eyes.

In the incident of the students blocking the government before the government examination, because Xu Jin refused to participate, it had some impact on his reputation, such as Guo Wencai and Li Chen, who even seized this point to attack Xu Jin and spared no effort to smear him.

When he went to the government test list, Xu Jin took the top spot, and some people even released rumors, slandering Xu Jin for breaking his eyebrows and bending his waist, hugging the thighs of Lu Zhifu and Ning Wang Shizi, and then he was named the head of the government test case.

However, at the private banquet of Governor Lu's mansion last night, as soon as Xu Jin's song "Picking Wood" came out, these rumors were self-defeating, and all the noises attacking Xu Jin also stopped.

Who would dare to say that the head of the Xu case is afraid of power and wisdom to protect himself? Who would dare to say that the head of the Xu case broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to hug King Ning's thigh?

Xu Jin dared to write poems in front of the Qincha, in front of the prince of King Ning, and in front of the public, to write poems to satirize and persuade King Ning!

Do you dare to do it instead? Xu is full of talent, heroic and upright, as written in his "Bamboo and Stone": Thousands of blows are still tenacious, and Ren Er's southeast and northwest winds. Poetry is like its people, a model of my generation of readers!

As for Xu Jin's poem "Picking Wood", which uses the tone of a woman advising her husband, no one thinks it is inappropriate, because it is like writing a novel in the first person, and the ancients sometimes wrote poems in order to be more vivid, and they would also substitute for other characters and say it in someone else's tone.

For example, Tang Bohu has a poem called: "Title Flower Smile Picture", which has two sentences: Before crushing the flower and throwing it, please sleep with the flower tonight. It is said in a woman's tone, vividly describing the woman's delicate form.

Because Concubine Lou's "Picking Wood Map" has not yet spread at this time, everyone thinks that it was made by Xu Jin, and after the propaganda of the candidates who participated in the banquet last night, it was spread all over the city in a short time, at least the candidates in the county, officials and gentry at all levels, including Fei Hong.

Dozens of candidates escorted Xu Case Shou home together last night The incident was even more rumored, which made a group of scholars enthusiastic, and they couldn't wait to escort Xu Case Chief that night, my generation of readers, strong!

When Xu Jin returned to the lecture hall, a large group of classmates immediately surrounded him to greet him, as if he was a hero's triumphant treatment.

……

……

"Brother Xu, my father asked you to take time to sit at home tomorrow!"

As soon as school got out of school in the afternoon, the Fei brothers came to find Xu Jin, with a happy smile on their faces, Xu Jin's performance at the banquet last night The Fei brothers naturally heard about it.

"Okay!" Xu Jin nodded in agreement.

"Let's go, Brother Xu, come to your house and sit down, we haven't had a chance to taste the spicy haggis yet!" Fei Maozhong said with a smile.

As soon as Xu Jin's "Picking Wood Map" came out last night, it was equivalent to publicly drawing a line with the Ning Wang family, and the relationship with the Fei family was naturally closer.

When Xu Jin and the Fei brothers returned to the haggis shop, they immediately felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, but when they saw several fierce men standing at the door, some customers who had planned to enter the store turned around and left in fright.

Xu Jin's heart couldn't help but be shocked, it could not be that the simple and rude Prince Ning came to take revenge, and hurriedly ran to the store, he was worried about the safety of Xiao Wan and Xiao Nu'er.

Those big men stretched out their hands to stop Xu Jin and said coldly: "Where did you come from?" ”

Xu Jin shouted: "Get out, this is my home!" ”

"Let him in!" The voice of the careless came out slowly, and the big man who stopped him snorted coldly and retreated.

Xu Jin walked into the store with a calm face, and the Fei brothers followed up with Dabao and Mingyan.

"Xianggong!"

Xu Jin saw that Xiao Wan and Xiao Nu'er were fine, only Er Niu's face was a little injured, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about things, what do you mean by this?" ”

Steward Mo was eating spicy haggis, and there were two strong men standing behind him, but there were injuries on his face, which was estimated to be the masterpiece of Erniu.

Mo Guan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and sneered: "Case Chief Xu is really a good skill, a good poem written!" ”

Because Manager Mo had recommended Xu Jin to King Ning, he was reprimanded by the angry Brother Zhu after the banquet last night, and he also slapped him twice, so he came to Xu Jin to settle accounts with a belly of fire today.

Xu Jin simply took out the previous thirty taels of silver and put it on the table, and said lightly: "I didn't know that Mo Guan was the person of King Ning before, you take back the silver, and the matter of cooperating in the book will be stopped, and those manuscripts will be returned to Mo Guan Shi, and it will not be benevolent to sell and buy, I hope that Mo Guan will not disturb my family in the future!" ”

Don't slap your chopsticks on the table and stare at Xu Jin gloomily!

Xu Jin stood calmly, not afraid!

The two brothers, Fei Maozhong and Fei Maoxian, stepped forward, stood side by side with Xu Jin, and stared back at Mo Guan coldly.

Don't care about the number of changes in your complexion, and suddenly he smiled: "A scholar, if you don't do your best, you will regret it!" After saying that, he threw a stack of manuscripts on the table, grabbed three ingots of silver and left with a sneer.
