The black clouds were low, and the weather was so stuffy that people couldn't breathe; It was not only Su Jin and others who didn't sleep all night, but also Fu Yin Tangjie; He interrogated more than 50 students overnight, trying to force them to admit to storming the yamen and gathering violence. messy things, and at the same time, they were also promised that as long as the mastermind confessed was Su Jin, everyone else would be dealt with lightly.

However, Tang Jie was wrong, he was facing a group of elite students, not the temperamentless ordinary people who were oppressed on the streets of Yingtianfu; The students know better than anyone else that once this crime is accepted, this life is basically over, whether it is an accomplice or the main offender, they are all rebellious thugs, even if it is really as promised by Lord Tang to be punished lightly, the lightest is a punishment of assassination and exile.

Most of these people came out of poor families, and most of them relied on their real skills to get the recommendation of the local school officials and enter the Yingtian Academy, so that the future will be ruined, the reputation will be notorious, and everything will be impossible to talk about; They who are counting on the imperial examination to serve the imperial court and glorify their ancestors will not admit this reality no matter what, so it is even more difficult for them to admit such a crime.

Tang Jie was angry all night, and he talked to a dozen students alone, but these guys were like stones in a pit, smelly and hard; Even a black fat student actually pointed at his nose and scolded himself for being despicable and shameless, and the angry Tang Jiezhi ordered someone to whip him dozens of times.

The master stayed up all night, until his eyes were deep and dizzy, and when he saw that this matter was not a big deal, he persuaded: "Lord Fuzun, at this time, these students are in full swing, and I am afraid that the interrogation at this moment will not be good, so it is better to put them in prison and detain them to frustrate their spirit; After a few days of being in a stinking cell, and the old fritters in the trumpet saw these generally weak and fair-skinned young men, how could they not molest them, and in less than a day, these people were afraid that they would cry and shout to see the adults and accept the matter. ”

Tang Jie felt that it made a lot of sense, and thought for a while: "This can only be the case, but you need to warn the cell boss in charge, don't really let those lustful ghosts damage their bodies, let them behave, these guys are all die-hard people, if they are really dirty, I am afraid that they would rather die than admit it, and if they don't do it, they will kill people." ”

The master smiled: "The adult is worthy of being born in the imperial examination, and he still has a meticulous grasp of the thoughts of these people, and the villain admires them." ”

Tang Jie waved his hand, yawned and said: "This mansion has gone to rest, this night is noisy, and the whole body is sore, hey, the years do not surround people, and suddenly the gray hair has been gray, you go." ”

The master was busy giving gifts and sending them off, Tang Jie shook three times, hammered his sore back, and went into the inner hall to rest.

I don't know how long later, a disturbing noise woke Tang Jie from his dream, Tang Jie opened his dry eyes, his brain was dizzy, and when he looked at the sky outside, it seemed that the sky had just seen the light of day, and he couldn't help but be furious.

"Whoever is making noise outside, dragged out and beaten forty boards."

The maid who was waiting outside the room hurriedly came in and said, "Master Qiqi, there seems to be something happening at the door of the mansion, and many people are watching there." ”

Tang Jie sat up and said busily: "Go and see, what is going on?" ”

The maid turned around and went out, and after a while, she heard the sound of footsteps clanging on the mountain, and then the master's panting voice came from outside the door: "Lord Fuzun, Lord Fuzun?" ”

Tang Jie scolded while putting on his clothes: "Come in and talk back, what are you doing in a panic?" ”

The master ran in with his back hunched, his head covered in hot sweat, and the smell of sweat all over his body.

"What's the noise? This is only an hour of sleep. ”

"The villain disturbed the rest of the lord, and I ask for forgiveness, but this matter is urgent. The villain had to hurry up and report to the adult. ”

"Say it." Tang Jie walked to the copper basin shelf and washed his face with warm water.

"Lord Fuzun, that Su ...... Su Jin...... It's on the square outside the palace. ”

"What?" Tang Jie almost didn't overturn the copper basin with water, glared and said, "Then don't you catch it?" With Song Zhutou and Luo Bantou, he hurriedly brought someone to get him, what is there to panic about. ”

"The villain has already asked Song Zhutou and Luo Bantou to lead people to surround Na Su Jin, but ...... But you can't take people. The master had a sad face.

"What? Can't take people? You're an old fool, aren't you? Take it, take it quickly. "Tang Jie is angry and funny.

"I really can't take it, and the villain won't be able to tell it for a while, so please move to see it."

Tang Jie really believed that things were a little strange this time, so he quickly wiped his hands and face, dressed properly, with a stomach full of doubts, and walked out with his master.

As soon as he arrived at the yamen, the noisy noise outside was already in his ears, Tang Jie calmed down, coughed, walked out of the yamen, stood on the steps, raised his eyes and swept down, almost no one rolled down the steps.

The official guarding the door hurriedly supported Lord Fuzun, and then Lord Fuzun stood up straight, helped the hat that almost fell off, and looked down.

But see the square at the entrance of the yamen is crowded with people, there are thousands of people, an incense case is placed in the crowd, the white candle on the incense case is burning, the cigarette smoke is around, offering a huge white tablet, the fruit and food sacrifice in front of the tablet is full, the incense case is surrounded by white spiritualist paper flags, the wind blows through the wind, and it looks ghostly.

Looking at the front of the incense case, on a futon, a figure wearing a filial piety crown and wearing linen clothes is kneeling on the futon uprightly, with his hands facing the sky, and there are words in his mouth.

Tang Jie frowned and said, "What are you doing?" Pretending to be a ghost. ”

"Why don't you come and watch?" Master can't explain clearly.

Tang Jie snorted and said: "Order someone to block all around, this time you can't tell him to run away, and after the mansion figures out the reason, he will take it immediately." ”

After saying that, he stepped down the steps and came to the outside of the crowd, and the master shouted: "Lord Fu Yin has arrived, and no one will quickly dodge aside." ”

The crowd jumped out of the way, and Tang Jie walked into the inner circle with more than a dozen officials with knives, and the person kneeling on the futon was Su Jin, a student of Yingtian who wore linen and filial piety.

Tang Jie shouted: "Su Jin, what are you doing here? Last night, you dared to resist arrest and escape, and today you can't escape even if you have wings. ”

Su Jin stared at the tablet on the incense case motionlessly, ignoring Tang Jie at all; Tang Jie was angry in his heart, and when he looked at him, his expression suddenly changed, his legs trembled, and he almost collapsed.

More than a dozen big characters on the white tablet are eye-catching and conspicuous, and it is written that 'Qiyun Liji Yingwu Ruiwen Shende Shenggong to the Ming Daxiao Emperor', and the person who has this nickname is none other than Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the grandfather.

Tang Jie opened his mouth, under the tablet of Emperor Taizu, he dared to say anything about pretending to be a ghost, and he quickly pondered in his heart what Su Jin was going to do, and at the same time understood why the master did not dare to order Su Jin to be arrested.

Su Jin is worshipping the grandfather, if it is a matter of worship, but it is arrested, this is a crime of disobedience, disrespect to the grandfather, regarded as rebellion, it is a crime of copying and destroying the whole clan, who dares to do it.

"Quick, go and ask the prince to deal with it, he has to come forward in this matter, he is of royal blood, he can follow the matter of worshipping Taizu on behalf of the royal family, and we can't go beyond the rules." Tang Jie felt that things were not simple, and at this time, he must get out the prince who was shrinking behind, otherwise if he was a little careless, he would end up with the crime of disobedience to the Taizu, and he could not afford this responsibility.

The master hurriedly agreed, and personally invited King Teng to come, Tang Jie dressed up, came to the incense case, bowed three times and bowed to the tablet of Taizu, and put on a stick of incense, then got up and said: "Su Jin, which one are you singing?" Today is neither the day of the ascension of the grandfather, nor the auspicious day of the ancestors, what is the purpose of you to set up incense to worship the grandfather? ”

Su Jin slowly raised the corner of his eyes, glanced at him and said coldly, "Who are you?" Are you a royal family surnamed Zhao? Didn't you see that I was worshipping my grandfather? When will it be your turn to ask me, go find someone surnamed Zhao to talk to me. ”

Tang Jie was stunned on the spot, he didn't expect this guy to be so cross-witted, but the prince didn't arrive, and he really couldn't ask questions on behalf of the royal family surnamed Zhao.

After thinking about it, Tang Jie held back his anger and said: "Su Jin, even if you are expressing your admiration and loyalty to the great grandfather, but worshipping the great grandfather is an official event, and it is understandable for the people to set up tablets at home to worship every day, but your public worship needs to be approved by the Ministry of Rites before it can be carried out, and the altar also needs to be solemn and solemn, arranged by the imperial court, and the people can only come to the incense and bow to the court. ”

Su Jin didn't hear it, and directly treated him as air, just facing the Taizu tablet, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Tang Jie's anger was like thunder, and he wanted to beckon the officials to rush up and take this tricky goods, but he really couldn't do it rashly in front of the altar of the grandfather; Everything can only wait for King Teng to come, Grandpa Tai is the ancestor of King Teng, and only King Teng can have the right to speak in this matter.

Su Jin is also waiting, he is also waiting for King Teng to arrive, the success or failure of this matter must be done in the presence of King Teng, only when he is present, his efforts are not in vain.

In the corner of the square, Yan Biyun, Rou Niang and others also supported each other and hugged each other to watch, their eyes did not stop staying on Su Jin's body for a moment, carefully paying attention to Su Jin's every move, for fear of missing a subtle detail.

Looking at that thin figure that was not tall, Yan Biyun's heart was about to break.

This indomitable teenager, this sometimes stubborn, sometimes playful, sometimes shrewd, sometimes confused teenager, is using his own strength against a huge opponent.

There were times when he flinched, and there were times when he was afraid.

But today, in Yan Biyun's eyes, he is no longer a sixteen-year-old boy, but has completely become a man who stands up to the sky.

The wind and clouds in the sky are stirring, the dark clouds are getting darker and darker, the pressure is getting lower and lower, and the people who are pressed are almost suffocated, it seems to be a big black net, which wants to wipe out everything in the heaven and earth.
