First a few, then dozens of people, and finally most of the Confucian children, under the encouragement of others, were shouting to retake the exam.

After all, there are only 50 students in the middle school, and most of the candidates are not proud, and whoever has such a chance to retake the exam will not hesitate to make a choice.

What's more, there is indeed a problem with the government examination this time, and the leakage of the government examination questions has been spread among the candidates.

And this time, the misspelling of the word "ring" is seen by everyone, and most people will not use the abbreviated word "ring" in the examination room, and they are all written in orthodox.

But how can this be explained by the fact that there are several copies of the record and the abbreviated word 'ring' appears at the same time? This question is one of the questions of the Five Classics, and there are only seven or eight candidates who choose the rites as this scripture, and the result is that there are several abbreviated ring characters.

What other reason could it be than a secret note?

So under the suspicion of fraud in the government examination and the public anger of failing the list, all the Confucian children shouted 're-examination'.

Several of the students who instigated all this behind the scenes were secretly proud, but the students who called 'Meng Chang' said suspiciously: "There is such a big movement in front of this mansion, why is there no one to deal with it?" ”

The people on the side smiled and said, "That's because Lin Sanyuan was instigated and wanted to be a turtle with a shrunken head." He didn't know how to hide like this, but he was even more convinced that there was a cat in the house test. ”

Another student who previously claimed to be a "well-traveled" student smiled: "It's useless to hide, if he doesn't come out again, we will take the opportunity to make a big deal about it!" Isn't he Lin Yanchao very prestigious? We're going to use this to smash his signboard! ”

"Can it be done?" Meng Chang asked.

The man smiled and said, "If it doesn't work out, if you don't live up to your plan, Senior Brother Meng, you can watch it." ”

The Confucian children shouted for a while, but the yamen did not react, and then there was a humanitarian: "No one from the government has come out, so instead of this, we might as well beat the drum and cry out the grievances!" ”

One person said: "Beat the drum and voice the grievances, then the matter is a big trouble, how can we, as students, sue the government, this is to eat the board." ”

"So what? We can't sue, but Senior Zhang and Senior Shao can! ”

"Yes, the seniors are the students and the leaders of our Shilin, and this matter is related to the honor and disgrace of our scholars, so I implore the seniors to uphold justice."

So all the Confucian children looked at the students in the middle who were wearing shirts.

Zhang Xiucai, the leader, said: "Everyone, by all means. ”

"Senior Zhang! Help us, this matter is related to the honor and disgrace of our scholars, how can those villains cover the sky with one hand in this peaceful world! ”

Zhang Xiucai said: "It's not that I don't want to stand up for everyone, it's just that I have a lawsuit with the government." I want to sell my land, but the government forbids it. ”

A student: "It turns out that Zhang Xianggong, you also have this matter, and there are many people who don't recognize the land deed because the government doesn't recognize it." It's all real money, you love me to buy and sell, why does the house not recognize it, where is this truth? ”

At this time, someone said: "The two ministers, it's better to sue these two things together, and save two trips!" ”

Everyone was afraid that these two people would not come forward, and they all said yes at the moment.

Zhang Xiucai hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since this is the case, Zhang is duty-bound." ”

The crowd applauded.

The behind-the-scenes students were all happy when they saw this scene: "My plan has been completed!" ”

"Elder Brother Meng, you are not only Meng Wei, but also Zhuge Kongming, you have come up with this clever plan. Don't say anything else, just say that the word 'ring' on the list, more than a thousand scholars didn't see it, just you recognize it, there is no second person in this kung fu mansion. ”

The other party smiled and said, "Don't be too happy, let's see how Lin Sanyuan interrogated first?" ”

After a few people finished speaking, Zhang Xiucai had already written the lawsuit, and there were five students with him.

Zhang Xiucai walked to the drum in front of the government and beat the big drum with a bang.

In order to give the book of the people of Henan to the Son of Heaven before, he even dared to beat the drum. As soon as this incident was brought to the township, the scholars in Henan couldn't help but have the idea of 'asking for life for the people'.

Now Zhang Xiucai is beating the drum, of course, it makes everyone applaud!

Every time Zhang Xiucai knocked, more than 1,000 scholars just said 'good'!

The cheers are bursting!

At this time, the gate of the government finally opened, and two scribes walked out surrounded by more than a dozen officials, and Zhang Xiucai generously handed over the paper!

When the two scribes saw this, they were angry and said, "What are you doing?" Accuse the government? ”

"The people's lawsuit against the official is like a son suing the father, what is your intention in doing this?"

That's right, the other party's move is equivalent to losing the face of the official government of Guide Mansion, and it is also a big loss of face for Lin Yanchao.

But Zhang Xiucai said indifferently: "I am not a grass-headed person, but Zhang Maozhi, a student member of Yucheng County, this time I am here for the people, a scholar like me in the same house!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, all the readers below responded.

The scholars who were the masterminds behind the scenes all sneered when they saw this scene, and the student who called Meng Chang shook his head and sighed: "Look at these Qiantou, with the strength of the whole family, for one of them to study, each delusional once proud, the fish leaps into the dragon gate. In the end, with only a bloody bravery, you can only drive the sheep for the tiger and make things happen for people! Lin Sanyuan wanted to protect the people, but the people went against him in the end, what is the use of guaranteeing, it's ridiculous! ”

Thousands of scholars made trouble about retaking exams and beating drums, and they had already made trouble in the government.

In the hall of the government office, Lin Yanchao and several government officials were sitting.

The new magistrate just arrived, and he was a little at a loss, He Tongju and Ma Tongju had cold faces and didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Wu Tongju and several other officials looked relaxed. Wu Tongju continued: "It's too unusual, it's really unreasonable, these scholars actually make trouble, and there is such a thing." ”

Wu Tong said so, but everyone knows that his words are purely to clear up the matter.

At the beginning, these officials opposed the pledge of the land deed and hoped that the government would compromise with the gentry, but now they have stabbed the basket and caused more than 1,000 Confucian children to gather for the exam.

Once this matter reaches the province or the imperial court, then all the responsibility must be borne by Lin Yanchao. If it is not handled properly, Lin Yanchao will eat the one with the least hanging, and he will lose his official position if he is heavy.

Lin Yanchao closed the paper and said to the two scribes: "Since this is the case, the promotion is the hall." ”

Today is not the day of the government to make a announcement, even if it is a drum, Lin Yanchao, as the prefect, can not accept the situation.

This is different from the Dengwen drum in front of the imperial city, after the scholar beats the drum, the official on the drum must report to the Son of Heaven.

And the county government, the drum in front of the government yamen, the people call the drum of grievances, but in fact it is a drum, what urgent things can be knocked, not necessarily used to voice grievances, and finally the paper to the official here, he can also be promoted to the hall or not, if the prefect of the paper is unreasonable, the people who complain will be arrested and beaten.

But more than 1,000 Confucian children are making trouble, if Lin Yanchao continues to disappear, who knows what the students will do? The only way to talk to them is to calm down the people's anger first, and then to investigate the people behind the scenes.

The two classes of officials stood up and shouted in unison: "The eldest lord has ascended to the hall." ”

At this time, five students wearing jade-colored wide-sleeved shirts and square scarves walked into the hall, and they saluted Lin Yanchao.

Students can not kneel when they see officials, and in addition, they are exempted from punishment and cannot be detained, which is the court's benevolence to scholars. But in the late Ming Dynasty, students often relied on this to fight against the government.

After these five students entered, countless Confucian children also poured into the yamen, standing under the platform together to listen, and supporting the students who complained with practical actions.

"Retake the exam!"

"Retake the exam!"

Countless Confucian children chanted slogans, and the sound was close to Lin Yanchao, who was sitting in the hall.

At this moment, the left and right officials are all palpitating, these Confucian children are making trouble, in case they lose their minds and rush up and smash the court, whether they run or not.

The rest of the officials wiped their sweat for fear of harming the pond fish.

There are also people who blame Lin Yanchao in their hearts, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be someone behind this who is playing ghosts, inciting scholars to take the exam in the name of the government examination and forcing the government to compromise. As for the final purpose, it is not to retake the examination, but to reopen the land deed sale.

They all persuaded Lin Yanchao at the beginning and fulfilled their duties as a subordinate official, okay, now that trouble is coming, you can do it yourself!

On the side, He Tongju was resolutely on Lin Yanchao's side, and he asked Lin Yanchao in a low voice: "Futai, are you driving these observers out?" Separate and tried? ”

Interrogating behind closed doors is not a good way to be desperate to know if there are any greasy scholars in the government examination.

Lin Yanchao knocked on the startled wood at the moment, and the officials below shouted in unison, and Chen Jichuan transferred a total of dozens of people to the platform to maintain order.

Seeing Lin Yanchao's ascension to the hall, the Confucian children below would not blindly want to make trouble, and they all shut up when they saw this.

Lin Yanchao looked at a few people and asked, "Who among you is suing?" ”

At that moment, a scholar stood up and said: "Zhang Maozhi, a student of Yucheng County, has seen Taishou. This is a statement written by a student, and they are all classmates of the student, and they are all told together because of righteous indignation! ”

The other four students all bowed their hands and said: "Qi Yu Taishou, we and Friend Zhang are just nodding friends, but the people's grievances are boiling, so we came here righteously!" ”

This Zhang Maozhi is more confident when he hears this, and he is not afraid of Lin Sanyuan, who is famous all over the world. He has sued many people before, which has made many top three jinshi disgraced, and this time he will defeat Lin Yanchao again, which is the pinnacle of his life.

Lin Yanchao put down the paper and said, "This mansion does not refer to the five of you gathering to coerce the government. It is also common for people to jointly control the upper name. It's just that there is one thing in this house that I don't understand, is it one thing or two things that you are talking about on this paper? ”

While Lin Yanchao was talking, Yuan Keli beside him handed Lin Yanchao a note.

Lin Yanchao said while dismantling the strip: "Whether it is suing the government for prohibiting the sale of land deeds, or the government trying to cheat, to make it clear, this lawsuit is unheard of, suing two things." ”

Lin Yanchao opened the strip, but when he saw this item, it was Zhang Maozhi who was talking about.

It turns out that he has no real name as a student, and he passes the annual examination every year, and his main purpose in studying is not to seek fame, but to fight a lawsuit.

This man is the lawyer.

As we all know, if a student is appointed as a lawyer, he will be removed from his reputation.

However, many students still secretly take over this job for the same reason, it is easy for students to deal with officials, and it is convenient for them to go to court to fight lawsuits.

Otherwise, ordinary people will sue and the county officials will be unhappy, if you dare to sue the government, I will first find a reason to beat you with 30 sticks before speaking.

And when the students go to the court, even if the governor is promoted to the court, he will not dare to torture you.

Therefore, if there is any dispute between the people and the government, the local gentry will take money to ask people like Zhang Maocai to come forward to fight a lawsuit.

Even if Lin Yanchao doesn't read the strips, he knows that people like Zhang Maozhi are not the masterminds of this matter. The people behind the scenes instigated the scholars, and then asked Zhang Maozhi to come forward with a vicious lawsuit, which is the most hateful.

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, Zhang Maozhi said neatly: "Who said that two things can't be written on a piece of paper, when Taishou was Hanlin, a copy of "The World is Public" sued King Lu and saved Zhang Taiyue's reputation. ”

"Why is it okay to do things in the court, but not on paper?"

Standing beside Lin Yanchao, Yuan Keli frowned, this Mao Zhi is really sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and it is not easy to deal with.

He Tongju thought to himself, such a tricky lawyer, ordinary officials will definitely not be able to deal with it, Lin Yanchao did not invite a powerful criminal master, where is his opponent?

The first master of the county official is the master of the criminal name, which is to specialize in trying cases. Lin Yanchao is the prefect, although the criminal name is not the first thing, it does not mean that the criminal name master is not invited, if there is such a thing as a trial case, it is still necessary to invite a person who is familiar with the criminal law.

However, He Tong forgot that Lin Yanchao almost relied on the name of punishment to eat. He didn't invite the criminal master, but many people wanted to invite him to be the criminal master. It's just that after he won the champion, no one dared to invite him, so everyone forgot about this stubble.

When Lin Yanchao came to Guide to serve as an official, he tried hundreds of cases every day, so why did he forget about the verdict so quickly?

Lin Yanchao smiled: "You misunderstood what this government meant. This government is not objecting to you merging the two cases together, but this government is asking you to sue the government to prohibit the sale of land deeds, because your family has land and wants to sell it? ”

Zhang Maozhi heard the trap in Lin Yanchao's words, and the lying tablets of Minglun Hall in each temple were engraved with these words, students are not allowed to speak about politics, and they are not allowed to gather to fight against officials.

Although such words have never been heard of by the students, it has become common for scholars in Suzhou and Hangzhou to oppose the government.

However, if Zhang Maozhi said that he was asking for the people's life and sued the government to prohibit the purchase and sale of land deeds, it would be a matter of speech. Lin Yanchao can use this to tell him to learn the Tao and strip him of his shirt.

Zhang Maozhi said in his heart that he carved insects, and then said: "Of course, the student's parents have seen each other since he was a child, and his grandfather has grown up, but fortunately, there are still more than ten acres of ancestral land at home that can support our grandfather and grandson." ”

"But two months ago, my grandfather was ill, and the student had no money for medical treatment, so he had to sell two acres of his family's land for treatment. The property of the field house is just something outside the body, if it can cure the grandfather's illness, even if the ten acres of ancestral land are sold, it is not hesitating. However, the government prohibits the sale of land deeds, and where can the students be reasonable, they only want to be too gracious and accurate, so that students can be fully filial. ”

After speaking, Zhang Maozhi's tears fell twice, and the students next to him also wiped their tears and said: "We also know about Brother Zhang's affairs, but it's a pity that the family is poor, there is no money to fund, and there is nothing to do, so please be too gracious." ”

The readers below were in an uproar, and they all expressed deep sympathy for Zhang Maozhi, and they were also moved by his filial piety.

But in fact, Zhang Maozhi's matter is false and purely made up, but he pointed out the shortcomings of Lin Yanchao's prohibition on buying and selling land deeds, and used his own experience to win sympathy.

The unmath student said: "Filial piety comes first!" ”

"I beg the government to have mercy!"

Zhang Maozhi once again took advantage of the kindness of the Confucian children and took the initiative step by step, Ma Tongju, who had previously served as a magistrate, of course knew how powerful Zhang Maozhi, the first lawyer in the house, was very powerful, and whispered in Lin Yanchao's ear at the moment: "Futai, it's better to leave the court first, and ask another day." ”

Ma Tong's suggestion is also okay, and he will avoid the edge for the time being. But more than 1,000 Confucian children are taking the test, and they have no turning back arrows, and they can't avoid it.

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said: "Your affairs are also sympathetic to the mansion, and everyone has compassion, and so is the mansion." ”

Zhang Maozhi immediately followed the bar and said, "The student thanked the house." ”

But seeing Lin Yanchao, he stretched out his hand and said, "Where are your acres of land?" ”

"Thirty miles south of Yucheng County."

Syllable!

Lin Yanchao slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Since it is a matter of Yucheng County, what are you going to this mansion to complain about?" Are you entertaining in this house? ”

Zhang Maozhi was taken aback, and then reacted by Lin Yanchao's drink, that's right, he made a mistake, such a complaint should be reported to the state and county first, and the state and county are not accepted, or if they are not satisfied with the verdict, they will go to the prefect, otherwise they will be overstepped.

The prefect has the right not to accept your petition.

Zhang Maozhi sneered in his heart, he had never seen a protest in the world: "Where do the prefectures and counties dare to set their own criminal laws, and the province has not ordered Taishou not to buy and sell land deeds, all this is just Taishou's decision, who else can the student ask if he doesn't ask Taishou?" ”

"Now that things are in a hurry, the law is nothing more than human affection, if you abide by this old rule, it is really disappointing to us!"

As soon as Zhang Maozhi said this, all the Confucian children discussed it one after another, and they also felt that Lin Yanchao refused for this reason, which was really too unkind.

Lin Yanchao said: "Is this mansion an unreasonable person? It's just that the rules can't be messed up, the eight counties and one state of this government, 300,000 people, if everyone is like you and does not come to this government through the state and county to control, then the government does not say whether the doppelganger has skills, and this move has also become a substitute for the state, and it will be criticized by the state and county. ”

"In this way, you go to the Yucheng County Ya to hand over the pleadings first, and when Yucheng County is sentenced, you come back to the mansion, and the mansion will definitely give you justice!"

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, Zhang Maozhi said repeatedly: "Too guarded and slow!" Too guarded and slow! ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Zhang Maozhi and said unhappily: "Why are you still making noise here?" Didn't you say that you were in a hurry to use money to fulfill your filial piety? If you close the gates of the city when it gets dark, won't you delay it another day? With such a delay, as a son of man, how can you bear it? ”

Zhang Maozhi almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, he went to Yucheng County for dozens of miles, whether he could rush back tomorrow or not, he was not afraid of spending this effort, but the more than 1,000 scholars who were easily gathered together, did they let them wait at the door of the government for a day and a night?

These people are more just here to join in the fun, they don't care about the matter of a few acres of land at home, and by tomorrow the people will have already dispersed, Lin Yanchao's move is really despicable!

It seems that you can't get the full credit this time, but you also have to pull off a layer of skin from your Lin Yanchao, so that you will lose face in front of the people who read all over the world.

Zhang Maozhi gritted his teeth and said: "How can a student come to Taishou for advice another day because of his private abolition of the public and the matter of the field deed!" ”

"What the students want to say now is that the fraud in the government test happened in Shangqiu County, which is in the city of Fu, and it is too guarded under his nose. You can't sit idly by and ignore this matter, right? ”
