Chapter 882: Aftermath
A sentence of 'celebrating the father's immortality, Lu Jie is not over' echoed in the hall.
The second hall of the governor's yamen, which was noisy and noisy, suddenly became quiet.
Lin Yanchao held the remaining half of the broken porcelain vase in his hand and stood in the hall, his face calm, and he couldn't see what he had just done.
And Ma Yu next to Lin Yanchao's feet was lying on the ground, his eyes rolled white, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Several officials who had just not beaten Ma Yu were so surprised that they couldn't close their jaws.
Lin Sanyuan, a great Confucian who is admired by the world's scholars, actually holds a porcelain bottle to open a scoop?
What is this behavior?
In the eyes of some officials, this is a reckless man's act and a loss of scholarly demeanor. How can a scholar fight and kill? It should be talked and laughed, and the canopy will be wiped out.
But some officials disagreed, before the Song and Ming dynasties, when there was no civil and military path, this was the style of the Han and Tang dynasties.
Especially in the Han Dynasty, scholars were chivalrous and righteous, and they were still reckless. If someone insults his relatives, he draws a sword and kills him on the spot, and never appeals to the law.
It is not even limited to blood relatives, such as Xiahoudun during the Three Kingdoms, someone insulted his teacher in the countryside, and Xiahoudun pulled out a knife to kill him, which was very respected at that time.
Therefore, in the eyes of officials, Lin Yanchao's move has the style of a Confucian scholar in the Han Dynasty!
An official lowered his body, stretched out his hand to probe Ma Yu's snort, and then turned back to everyone and said, "Ma Gonggong is out of breath!" ”
At this time, the officials in the hall were shocked, and many officials took a step back!
Killed?
Really killed?
Killed the eunuchs in the palace?
Gu Ming's face was pale, and he leaned on the official hat chair and thought, Lin Yanchao really dared to kill someone?
In the second hall of the governor's yamen, in full view of everyone, how many of my Ming officials dare to do this? And it was the eunuchs around the emperor who were killed.
Zeng Qianheng, the governor of Henan in the hall, was also dumbfounded, he originally thought that Lin Yanchao was just a villain who was good at flattering the Son of Heaven and Shen Shixing.
But today's scene really changed his mind.
Zeng Qianheng thought to himself, what is Buyi's anger?
There are two kinds of anger in cloth, the first class is bareheaded, grabbing the ground with his head, this is just the anger of a mediocre.
There is also a first-class, Tang Ju has clouds, if the warrior will be angry, the corpse is ambushed, the blood is five steps, and the world is vegetarian!
At this moment, Zeng Qianheng admired Lin Yanchao from the bottom of his heart, and felt guilty about looking for Lin Yanchao before. He said in his heart that Lin Yanchao acted in an ancient style, and he was not a mediocre bureaucrat like Shen Shixing.
And the head also sat in the Ministry of Rites, and Wan Xiangchun was very shocked in the bottom of his heart.
He remembered that before becoming an official, he had been trained by a famous teacher.
At that time, the teacher said that there should be a foot and a sword in the hearts of the readers, and the rules should be set by the ruler, this is the law, if the law cannot be done, draw the sword and kill the law!
The reason why Ma Yu is uncontrollable and can run rampant in Henan, the officials dare not say anything is because he relies on himself as a eunuch in the palace, and there is a royal law to protect Ma Yu, and no one can embarrass him except the emperor.
Now Lin Yanchao punished Ma Yu, which is to draw a sword and kill!
Scholars have rulers but no swords, but they are rotten, there are swords without rulers, that is a reckless man, only a ruler and a sword, can he be a 'scholar'.
Seeing Ma Yu's corpse lying on the ground, Lin Yanchao threw away half of the bottle in his hand, laughed loudly, and expressed his heart.
Before admonishing the Son of Heaven, Lin Yanchao chanted a poem.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, the frost blade has not been tried. Show you today, who has injustice!
Before admonishing the Son of Heaven, it was to test the sword, and ask yourself if you have sharpened your knowledge into a sword.
And today is already a sword, the road is uneven, you can draw the sword and sharpen it!
Lin Yanchao turned his head and said to the officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, Ma Yu came to Henan, although he did not kill a single person with his own hands, but hundreds of people died in vain because of him. ”
"This thief has done countless evils, and he should be cut by a thousand knives, but the law can't kill him, so only Lin can kill him for the law!"
"Today I kill this thief for all the people, although it is a pleasure, but killing the envoy is a serious crime, and in the future, the Son of Heaven will be angry, and I Lin will also do things alone, and it has nothing to do with your lords!"
After speaking, Lin Yanchao raised his hand proudly and waved to the officials.
After the killing, Lin Yanchao was as calm as constant, his demeanor was long, and he was still a Confucian student with thousands of scrolls in his chest and his mouth spitting out the scriptures, but the firmness in his words was like a dead soldier who died generously on the battlefield.
Knowing that he is guilty of a serious crime, he still kills him, this is a gentleman who knows and then acts, and has no regrets!
There were many officials present with tears in their eyes, and at this moment, they seemed to see the shadows of many scholars, standing tall behind Lin Yanchao.
That's right, from ancient times to the present, many scholars have failed to live up to the books of the sages they have read.
But there are also scholars who cherish the way of sages and sages, and practice them all their lives until death!
At this time, an official stood up and said: "I threw the teacup that smashed Ma Yu's head on the blood just now, if you say that you killed Ma Yu, I also have a share in this matter." ”
Another official stood up and said, "I kicked it just now, count me in." ”
"Isn't it a black gauze hat? I'm tired of this official, and I've punched it too! ”
One by one, the officials in the hall came forward to claim it, and they were impassioned, but there were also officials who were old and afraid of things and quietly withdrew.
Lin Yanchao frowned and said, "Thank you, but Lin didn't dare to accept it." ”
"Lin Sima, you don't have to be so ......"
"We are also the parents of the people......"
All the officials persuaded them together.
"Everyone, don't fight." At this time, Yang Yikui spoke.
When the officials besieged Ma Yu, Yang Yikui had always had a tacit attitude, and even Gao Huai, Xiao Shengguang and other officials from Beijing looked at it with surprise, they might want to stop it.
But after Lin Yanchao opened a vase for Ma Yu, it was too late to stop anything.
Everyone can see at a glance that Ma Yu has aroused public anger, but now that Ma Yu is dead, how to deal with the aftermath?
Yang Yikui first stepped down, glanced at Ma Yu personally, and after confirming Ma Yu's death, he said, "First clean up Ma Gonggong's body!" ”
Several officers and soldiers responded and carried Ma Yu's body down, but the blood stains all over the ground could not be wiped clean.
Yang Yikui returned to the main seat and said: "In the matter of Fang Cai, this court thinks that although Ma Yu is to blame, Lin Sima did not deliberately kill him, but did it by mistake. ”
All the officials nodded, one deliberately, and one missed.
This is a word to excuse Lin Yanchao.
Yang Yikui asked Gao Huai on the side: "Father-in-law Gao, do you think so?" ”
Gao Huai, as Ma Yu's deputy, has never spoken, and Ma Yu is in front of everything.
Ma Yu looted the people's wealth, Gao Huai didn't take a penny, Ma Yu embarrassed the officials, but Gao Huai didn't even see the officials.
All the officials thought to themselves that if the envoy of this trip was Gao Huai, then this time the ground in Henan would be able to be peaceful. Although Gao Huai is low-key, everyone knows that he is a cronie of the Son of Heaven, and it is Gao Huai's responsibility to report today's affairs in the hall and Ma Yu's death.
Gao Huai's gaze swept over Lin Yanchao and said to Yang Yikui: "What Yang Futai said is that our family has no objection. ”
