Coincidentally, Xu Luo responded to Xu Fen's fortune-telling words, he was impatient with his wife's verbosity and drove people home, walking alone on the street, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, looked up, and saw an official on horseback, with a dozen or so people coming to meet him.

At first, the distance between them was relatively far, and he was a little drunk and confused, but when the other party got closer, he found that the benefactor Abbot Zhiyun was chained.

Every time he slaughters more dogs, not to mention that he shows his true temperament after being drunk, Xu Luo didn't meet it, how can he hold it down if he sees it with his own eyes?

Xu Minghu, who was angry from his heart, roared, rushed up in a few steps and punched the fast catch with the chain, and unexpectedly beat the other party into a somersault, and stepped forward to unscrew the chain.

The other catchers were taken aback, gathered around, pulled out their iron rulers and scolded loudly. There was a catcher named Bai Qing who knew Xu Meng and shouted, "Are you crazy? How dare you rob a criminal? ”

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Meng waved his hand and gave him a slap, this time with great strength, Bai Qing covered his face in pain and screamed, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.

Hu Desheng immediately said angrily: "Arrest this madman, you must deal with him severely, bastard." ”

The catchers surrounded Xu Ming, no matter how strong he was, he would always be no more than ten enemies, and he was beaten so violently that his nose and face were swollen, and he was pressed to the ground and captured alive.

Bai Qing spit out two teeth with bloodshots, and he didn't want to explain that this was the Xu family, and the others were injured and gasped, and they didn't need Hu Desheng to order again, and locked Xu Meng firmly with an iron chain.

The drunken Xu Miao struggled non-stop, scolding the bastard official and making the seven tricks of Hood's victory into smoke.

He didn't know Xu Butcher, but Xu Miao walked the streets and alleys but recognized him, sitting on the horse with the reins in one hand and pointing at the whip with the other, and said viciously: "What's your surname and what is your name?" ”

Xu Meng didn't care and said loudly: "You are a fool in Jinling. Don't you even recognize me? ”

"You're fucking the opposite." Hu Desheng shouted angrily: "Which green onion does Lao Tzu think you are? Who the hell is he? ”

"He's a butcher who sells meat in the neighborhood." Bai Qing said angrily and deliberately hid the Xu family.

Hu Desheng snorted disdainfully: "It turned out to be a pig killer, dare to roar on the street, and live impatiently." ”

Xu Meng sneered: "Don't look down on killing pigs, if you provoke Lao Tzu, even people can be killed." ”

Hu Desheng said angrily: "Look at your rampant bastard, it's like rebellion." ”

"Rebellion is rebellion." Xu Meng shouted: "When the great grandfather rebelled, he has been the emperor in Jinling for so many years, and the ancestor of Lao Tzu rebelled with the great grandfather. ”

Hu Desheng scolded: "This guy must be drunk, don't you see him spewing alcohol?" ”

The catchers saw that the boss intended to calm things down. I don't want to be like a drunkard, I don't want Bai Qing to lose two teeth, half of his face is red and swollen, he has the heart to take revenge, and shouted: "This person has always been drunk and causing trouble, I can't spare him, I have to punish him." ”

Xu Meng gritted his teeth at him and said, "Let's see, sooner or sooner we will have to live or die." ”

Bai Qing's heart trembled when he heard this, and he knew that Xu Ming's temper had always been true. Besides, he is not an ordinary butcher, and today's words are undoubtedly a trouble.

Hu Desheng asked, "Let me ask you, why did you come to rob the monk?" ”

Xu Miao came up angrily again, and asked angrily: "The abbot is a good person. Why arrest him? ”

"Lao Tzu can't tell you clearly." Hu Desheng was angry and helpless, seeing that there were many people gathered around, he helplessly explained: "He is the murderer of the assassination, what do you say to arrest him." ”

Xu Meng laughed when he heard it. ridiculed: "Don't blame your surname Hu, if you dare to be affectionate, you will talk nonsense, how could that case be killed by the old abbot?" If you want to say that it was me who killed people, you might still be a little credible. It's stupid. ”

Bai Qing listened thoughtfully, his eyes rolled to the horse and whispered: "There is some truth in this drunkard's words, Hu Ye took the monk, I am afraid that the boss may not believe it." It's better to take both of them back to solve the case, just say that it is the monk's master, and Xu Butcher's hand, so that it is reasonable and flawless. ”

Hu Desheng is worried about wanting Zhiyun to look good, anyway, it is a harm to one person, and it is still a harm to two people, and maybe he can settle the case for his brother-in-law, and he can also be in the limelight.

Seeing him nodding slightly, Bai Qing was secretly happy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, it's best to go to Xu Butcher's house first and use his pig-killing knife as a murder weapon, wouldn't it be even more complete evidence?" ”

Hu Desheng was also confused, and shouted in public: "You are clearly one of the murderers of Zhiyun's collusion, and you did the case of murder in the following picture, and today you are drunk and stupid and run to throw yourself into the net, which shows that the sky net is restored, take him to the house to search." ”

Xu Meng was pushed forward, he was really anxious at the moment, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only scold angrily.

The catchers ignored him and walked straight forward, Bai Qing led the way in front, alarming many pedestrians to stop.

Zhiyun sneered as he walked: "Don't be afraid, I'll settle accounts with them when I get to Shuntian Mansion." ”

Xu Meng was bold and said loudly: "Master, I am not afraid at all in my heart, it is a big deal to die with you, and I will be a good man again after eighteen years." ”

Zhiyun cried and laughed and said: "Amitabha, don't say frustrating words, Hu Desheng is pretending to be public and private, and he won't be able to eat for a while." ”

Liu was sitting at home, and his son Jixiang ran in from outside in a panic, shouting out of breath: "Mother, my father was locked up by the official." ”

Liu Shi was startled, and ran out of Lu quickly, without anyone in his eyes, he pounced directly on her husband, and the whole person was stupid for a while, only to know that Lu Dao cried loudly.

Hu Desheng ordered a few people to go in and search for the murder weapon, at this time the Liu family came back to his senses, knowing that there was a family behind him, and his husband had never violated the royal law, what were he afraid of? took this opportunity to count and said: "Let you not understand the sophistication of human feelings all day long, otherwise who would dare to bully you in the capital?" deserved to be caught in the yamen and beaten with a board. ”

Xu Luo said nonchalantly: "A board is a fart, Lao Tzu doesn't care." ”

Zhiyun saw that the couple had suffered from his own burden, and inevitably felt guilty, and said: "Needless to say, your husband's grievances are all because of me, and after my lawsuit is over, he can naturally be safe, you can rest assured." During this period, your family expenses were paid by my apprentices, and from now on, as long as I have food, you husband and wife don't have to worry. ”

Xu Ming's face was suddenly very bright, and he laughed proudly, and there was a catcher who had always been bitter and mean, and said sarcastically: "You see, there is everything in this year, and a monk wants to raise a woman." I told it in front of my husband. Look at this heartless man, still licking a turtle face and smiling happily. ”

Before the words fell, he was kicked out of the ground a few steps, lying on the ground and screaming in pain, it turned out that he was kicked hard by Xu Ming.

At this time, Bai Qing came out with a bright steel knife in his hand and shouted, "The murder weapon has been found." ”

Hu Desheng deliberately asked in public: "Where did you find it?" ”

"Back to my lord." Bai Qing explained: "I hid the knife under the kitchen cabinet, and it was not easy to find it. It shows that this murderer has a weak heart, and his love is really guilty. ”

At that moment, Hu Desheng returned to Shuntianfu with the arrest and the prisoners. Liu asked her son to follow, and she rushed to Xu's house to report the news.

Hu Desheng entered the inner house alone, and saw his brother-in-law Yu Qian worried, and when he saw him come in, he said, "Oh no." Your concubine has been imprisoned. ”

It turned out that the reason why Hu Desheng dared to act recklessly was because he was relying on his brother-in-law's official position, and secondly, he was a child of the Hu family, so he hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" A few days ago, I was drinking with Hu Guan. ”

Yu Qian sighed and explained. Hu Desheng shouted: "That day, he had to redeem his sister in Qinhuaihe, and kept saying that he wanted to buy it back as a concubine, and we persuaded him not to be stupid at that time. I thought it was a joke, but it seems that I was really accepted as a concubine. ”

Yu Qian suddenly said: "Is his family all gone?" ”

"Yes! The lobby brother and the second cousin are both dead. Hu Desheng nodded.

"Alas!" Yu Qian glanced at his brother-in-law deeply, and said to himself: "It's a pity that people have sons, and it has nothing to do with you whether they are dead or alive." ”

Hu Desheng didn't react for a long time, and said that his brother-in-law meant the title? If Hu Guan has three longs and two shorts in prison, and once his nephew has a good one, wouldn't he have to inherit the title from the Hu family?

Of course, I have to please the princess and sister-in-law, and after the situation calms down, I will write a request that Hu Guan's crime is not rebellion, and the title of the Hu family will definitely be kept.

At the same time, Xu Hao entered the palace to find out if Hu Guan's case had anything to do with Zhu Gaochi, Chen Ying was mean and had always been unpopular, and he attacked the royal family for no reason, and a few days ago he took the lead in reporting King Qi and impeaching Li Jinglong and other powerful people, and he has successively impeached many officials in recent years.

Even if his job as an imperial historian is to fire everywhere, but offending too many people, the official position is destined to not last long, and Chen Ying is not an iron-clad civil servant, how can it be possible if there is no emperor's instruction behind him? The main reason is that Chen Ying's foundation is too shallow, and he can only be safe and sound with the protection of the emperor.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Gaochi is benevolent and righteous, but he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also has annoying people, and he also has some old grudges in previous years; What's more, as an emperor, he must have the position of an emperor, and in order to stabilize the imperial power, he will definitely do something to some people.

Even if Zhu Gaochi is not careful, the court battle will not stop for a day, and at any time someone will fall for various reasons, and other people will emerge, like ups and downs.

Chen Ying is the imperial history of the left capital, and Wu Zhong, the imperial envoy of the right capital, has a generous temperament, Xu Hao does not know much about the personality of Liu Guan, the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, if he falls to Chen Ying, then Chen Ying will undoubtedly be able to control the entire metropolitan procuratorate.

Any official will be afraid of the imperial history, Xu Hao is no exception, because the imperial history impeached you, you have to endure it first knowing that you are framed, and as an official, you are most afraid that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, don't look at the power in your hands now, once there are several imperial historians who take the lead in the charge, and the civil and military officials follow suit, then even the emperor will not be able to bear it.

There were only two emperors who could afford it in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and after Zhu Gaochi, the rise of Wenchen was impossible to reverse.

The so-called government lies in the word balance, if the military ministers cannot compete with it, then the appearance of eunuchs is inevitable, or the civil ministers are born out of party disputes, internal divisions, so that the emperor can hold the power high, in short, this is politics.

Thinking of the party struggle, Xu Hao couldn't help but think of the famous Donglin Party, which put forward practical learning, which can be said to have made Confucian civilization a big step forward.

Shixue appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were the development period of Shixue, and the Donglin Party pursued the abandonment of the metaphysical Wang Shouren's nihilism and Zhu Xi's conservative science; Entities are divided into practical learning, solid learning and practical learning; It is divided into practical learning of the world, practical learning of science and technology, practical learning of enlightenment and practical learning of evidence.

It is a pity that the Donglin Party itself is a loose form of government, with endless infighting and opposition for the sake of opposition, no matter how advanced the concept is, it is still the beneficiary of the feudal royal power, not only failed to save the decaying and declining Ming Dynasty, but accompanied it to die.

Xu Hao was not a thinker or theorist, and could not invent new philosophical concepts, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, there was no soil for the survival of these theories, there were no sharp and irreconcilable internal and external contradictions, and no one could be affected in a short period of time.

Fortunately, history has changed with his arrival, and hopefully it will change in the future. (To be continued......)
