Xiao Shangshu Xianggong?

It turned out to be the son of Lin Liao, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and the Yanai in the Yanei.

As soon as this scholar entered the courtyard, Lin Yanchao knew that this person was extraordinary, different from the children of ordinary rich and noble families, although he was well restrained, he still had a sense of arrogance in his tone. This is the difference between the children of powerful families and the children of rich and powerless families.

"It turned out to be Childe." Lin Yanchao bowed without being humble or arrogant, he didn't feel much respect, nor did he feel much disrespect, just plain.

The scholar glanced at Lin Yanchao, nodded appreciatively, and said, "This time, you should think that I will not believe my words, right?" ”

"I don't know, but I know that if I don't make this bet with you, the gentleman will never spare me."

Lin Chengyi and the scholar both smiled.

The scholar said: "You are right. ”

Lin Yanchao asked, "If I win, can I help with anything?" ”

The scholar's face sank, and he said in his heart that this young man is so stupid, if he is a smart person, he will sell his favor now, and keep it for later use, only short-sighted people are eager to cash in now.

The scholar said lightly: "If you can help, you can help, and if you can't help, you won't help, but there should be few things I can't help with your business." ”

"Then I'm relieved, I don't know what Lin Gongzi is going to do?"

The scholar smiled slightly and said, "I won't test you again on the scriptures in the book, what do you say you have in good spirits?" I'll test your strengths. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, thinking that this scholar was very atmospheric, and thought that in addition to having a good memory, he had worked the criminal law and won two lawsuits, so he said: "The criminal law judges the case, and knows a little bit about it." ”

"Criminal law verdict?" The scholar smiled, "Your husband still teaches this?" ”

Lin Chengyi said with a smile: "It's not that I taught it, it's just that the last time his family encountered a lawsuit, he responded to the news on behalf of his grandfather, and the villagers praised him." ”

The scholar's eyes lit up and said, "Is there anything else going on?" ”

Lin Yanchao said modestly: "It's not worth mentioning." ”

The scholar smiled and said: "That's good, a friend of mine, who has a tricky case, if you take one or two counsels from it and help my friend exonerate, can I owe you another favor?" ”

It seems that I have to deal with the work of the famous master again, and it just so happens that I am not false at all. Lin Yanchao thought in his heart.

Lin Yanchao said eagerly: "Just ask, I'll give it a try." ”

"Shisheng, what kind of joke are you talking about, a twelve-year-old boy, relying on a little cleverness, you actually brought the criminal case to him to inquire about it." Lin Shibi said on the side.

Scholar Lin Shisheng said with a smile: "He can't answer, isn't it better, so I will save your face for you." There's nothing to lose anyway. ”

Lin Shibi shook his head and said, "I have my own plans for this matter, but since you love to ask, you can do whatever you want." ”

Scholar Lin Shisheng looked at Lin Yanchao at the moment and said, "Listen, my friend has a rich family, and the third generation is an official, and he has raised a few excellent people. One day the servant asked the man, 'If you catch a thief, what will you do to punish him?' He said that there was a wonderful way to pour vinegar into his nostrils, and the thief would say whatever he wanted, in pain. ”

"It happened that one day, there was a delicate inmate, who didn't understand personnel, watched a drama in the village, and when the people dispersed, the inmate still didn't leave. The servant thought he was a thief, so he arrested him and asked him, but the prisoner did not answer, so he used the method my friend said, and poured vinegar on the prisoner and died. ”

"The government knew about this matter, and after collecting the corpse and examining it, it was realized that this person was not a thief, but a prisoner of the country. The county magistrate immediately tried the merciful man, and the servant said that this method was taught by my friend, and the county magistrate immediately arrested the two and put them in prison. I knew that my friend was innocent and intended to defend him, but I ran for it many times, but I couldn't redeem it with a hundred words, and the county magistrate refused to excuse me, what can you do to save my friend? ”

After Lin Shisheng finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yanchao, and Lin Chengyi also said: "I also heard that this case has been a sensation in the past two months, a prisoner has died and died, and it is very involved, and there is a lot of trouble in the forest." Even the old man of Futai sent a document to the Futai Yamen to inquire about this matter, if there is no reasonable statement, I am afraid that it will be difficult for your friend Brother Shisheng to get rid of the crime. ”

Lin Shibi said: "How many people are stumped by this matter, Shisheng, you also know a lot of government and county officials, they can't give you advice, you use this to take the school to take a teenager, this victory is not martial, change the topic." ”

Lin Shisheng nodded and said, "Big brother, the lesson is that I have gone a little too far in this matter. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Dare to ask, can you have pen and ink?" ”

"Pen and ink?" Lin Chengyi was surprised.

Lin Yanchao nodded.

Lin Shisheng said with a smile: "It seems that we underestimated the young man's thoughts. ”

"Okay, you might as well take a look." Lin Chengyi said with a smile.

Everyone had no objections, and most of them felt that Lin Yanchao wanted to try it out of his own strength, but he also wanted to encourage him.

Lin Yanchao was full of ink at the moment, groaned for a while, and wrote the four words 'Yan Kehua and' on the paper!

The three people present were all full of poetry and books, and when they saw Lin Yanchao writing the four characters of 'Yan Kevar and', they knew that Lin Yanchao knew a chapter of Gongsun Chou in the seven articles of Lin Yanchao and Mencius.

This chapter is to the effect that Shen Tong, the minister of Qi, privately asked Mencius, can Yan be defeated?

Mencius said yes, King Yan Xu, and gave the title of Fengguo Chan to the minister, which is like a minister, without the monarch, to give the title of Yulu to others, and others accept the title of Yulu without the consent of the king. Where did Yan Wang's move put Zhou Tianzi.

Later, when the state of Qi attacked the state of Yan, someone asked Mencius: "Did you encourage the state of Qi to attack the state of Yan?" ”

Mencius replied, no, Shen Tong asked me, can the Yan Kingdom be requisitioned? I said yes. But if they ask me, who can conquer the kingdom of Yan? Then I will sue him, and only those who are ordered by the Emperor of Zhou can ask for it.

It's like if there is a murderer and someone asks me, should this person be killed? I said yes. If you ask me who can kill the murderer, I will answer that the official in charge of the criminal law can kill him. At present, the country of Qi is crusading against the country of Yan, it is a country of no way and a country of injustice, how can I have encouraged it so much.

Writing this, Lin Yanchao opened his mouth and said: "Fa Yan is solid in Qi and not in Mencius, so it is inferred, your friend sues the servant that vinegar can force the thief, but if you ask the servant if he can torture the thief, your friend will not agree, this qiē is just the mercy man's own opinion." ”

"If the county magistrate judges that your friend is guilty, then he will sin Mencius first!"

After Lin Yanchao said this, the three of them were dumbfounded.

"The ancient Spring and Autumn Period was imprisoned, and now Mencius is sentenced." Lin Shibi said this sentence halfway, shook his head, and looked at Lin Yanchao with a folding fan, full of complexity.

Lin Shibi also picked up Lin Yanchao's book, and said in his heart that this son is really talented, and I am not as good as him.

Lin Chengyi heard Lin Shisheng say this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Shisheng, don't kill the apprentice, it's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence." ”

Lin Shisheng teased: "Brother Chengyi, you are so unkind, you teach such a proud disciple, and you are still hiding with me on weekdays, let's say, what do you want me to help you do?" ”

Lin Yanchao laughed.

Lin Shisheng said: "As long as I can do it Lin Shisheng, do you want to seek an official for your family?" I have one or two ways, if you want money, I can point you to a broad road, if you want beauty...... You're too young to hurt you. In addition, my friend has a good reward in the future. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Thank you Xianggong, the academy will teach the Five Classics next month, I want to learn the scriptures from a teacher, I don't know if Xianggong can help one or two." ”

"It's a study." Lin Shisheng smiled happily, not seeking wealth and nobility, but seeking poetry and books, which is the style of a gentleman who is not profitable.

Lin Shisheng immediately said: "This is easy, what scripture are you going to use as the scripture?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Shangshu." ”

Lin Shisheng asked, "Shangshu?" This...... At present, there are not many people who take Shangshu as the main scripture, why should they learn Mao's poems? Rites? ”

"Students just want to learn Shangshu, and it's best if the teacher is close to the academy and can visit once every five days."

Lin Shisheng nodded and said: "It's okay, although there are not many famous Confucians who govern Shangshu at the moment, I finally know two or three people, and I will give you the news after three days." ”

Before Lin Yanchao could speak, Lin Chengyi smiled and said: "Brother Shisheng is really in vain, I have thanked the apprentice, Yanchao has not quickly thanked others for helping you with this." ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, you don't cheat me, it's obvious that he lost to me in a bet, thank you.

However, Lin Yanchao also knew Lin Chengyi's kindness, so he could only bow and thank Lin Shisheng at the moment.

The night is dark, in the back garden of the Lin Mansion,

More than a dozen maids stood there with basins, towels, and teacups.

In the pavilion of the garden, there was a feast, and on the side was a green clay stove, on which a pot of wine was warmed, and two girls were cooking wine in the stove.

There were two people sitting at the banquet, one was an old man with crane hair and silver beard, and the other was a man in his thirties.

The old man pointed to the crabs on the table and said: "Eating crabs is easy to accumulate cold, so you need warm wine to go cold, you haven't been home for many years, taste the dishes of your hometown, drink some hot wine to get cold first." ”

As she spoke, the maid brought a glass of steaming wine, and the man drank it respectfully, and then said, "Dad, I'll break the crab shell for you." ”

The old man shook his hand and said, "It's delicious to break it yourself." ”

The old man took a crab and said while breaking it: "The people of Suzhou and Hangzhou like to fiddle with exquisiteness, what kind of literature to eat when eating a crab, what kind of crab to eat, what kind of crab to get eight, you entered Beijing this time to see Shen Shilang, how did he eat?" ”
