Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 44
The carriage quietly drove out of Meng's residence, Ran Meng drove, and Zaiyu sat in the carriage with Mengsun Heji.

On the way, Zaiyu was still discussing with Mengsun Heji how to deal with it later.

Mengsun Heji said: "My son, do you think I will directly ask the villagers to release him later, or..."

Before he finished speaking, Jai Yu immediately objected.

"It is absolutely not allowed to let people go directly."

"Why is this?"

Zai Yu said: "If you release him directly, then you are using your power for your own convenience, which is also a violation of etiquette.

If Zichang and Zigao are released in this way, the Master will not only not thank you, but will even criticize your behavior.

So in any case, you cannot directly intervene in the law enforcement of Xiangshi. "

After hearing this, Mengsun Heji realized something in his heart, but he turned to worry again: "But...what if I don't directly intervene and the villager refuses to release him?"

Zaiyu said: "You only need to ensure that the supervisors on the scene can enforce the law fairly. I completely believe in the morals of Zichang and Zigao. Zichang is honest and benevolent, and Zigao is kind and wise.

I am willing to guarantee my reputation that they will never commit the crime of killing.

Zichang is proficient in bird language, which is well known among his classmates.Since he said he learned of the whereabouts of the body from the mouth of the bird, it must have been so. "

Mengsun Heji nodded, and then asked: "But even if Zichang really didn't kill anyone, how can he prove their innocence?"

Jae Yu smiled: "It's very simple to prove their innocence, all you need is to ask Zi Chang to translate the bird language in front of everyone."

"Then how do we know if Zichang's translation is correct?"

"It's simple, Mencius, just listen to me..."

After informing Mengsun Heji of the plan in detail, Zaiyu did not choose to go to the prison with him, but got off the car alone in an area one street away from the destination.

After getting off the car, Mengsun Heji followed Zaiyu's suggestion and waited here for a while, while Zaiyu himself walked straight towards the prison.

He turned the corner of the street, and soon saw a group of Confucian scholars arguing at the gate of the prison.

That was Zigong, Zilu and the others.

Zaiyu walked forward in three steps and two steps, and before he got close, he heard Zilu yelling loudly and Zigong and others helplessly persuading him.

"Do you have evidence to prove that Zichang killed someone? Since there is no evidence, why do you arrest him?"

The jailer folded his arms, leaning his back against the wall, and looked like he didn't care about Zilu.

"What's the use of you yelling at me? If you have any doubts, go to the village scholar and ask him to explain to you. We are guarding the cell, and our responsibilities do not include helping you answer questions."

"Okay! Then take me to the villager, and I will argue with him face to face!"

The jailer rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty is not here."

"But didn't you ask me to go to him for a theory?"

"I asked you to go to him for an argument, but I didn't say that I promise that Mr. Xiangshi will be waiting for you at any time!"

Zilu suppressed his anger and asked, "Okay! Then where did he go? Tell me, and I will go find him myself."

The two jailers sneered, tilted their heads and asked, "How do I know where he has gone? The legs grew on him, but not on me. Where would I know?"

"You villains, I, my mother..."

Zilu's face flushed with anger, and he drew his sword from his waist, wishing he could chop off the jailer's head on the spot.

When Zigong and the others saw it, they were so startled that they broke out in cold sweat, three or four people hurriedly rushed forward, and finally held down Zilu.

"I can't, I can't... Zilu, calm down. You can't save Zichang if you kill them!"

"Don't be as knowledgeable as these villains. Zichang and the others haven't been convicted yet, let's think of a way, and things will definitely turn around."

"If you kill them now, not only will you not be able to save Zichang, but you will have to pay for it. You should think carefully about what your master taught you. Use less force and more wisdom."

The jailers became more reassured when they heard the persuasion of the Confucian disciples.

"Come on! Aren't you going to chop me up? I'll just stand here and see what you can do to me!"

Seeing this scene from a distance, Zai Yu couldn't help spitting on the ground.

He was originally worried that Zilu and the others would negotiate harmoniously with the jailer, but Meng Sun Heji's sudden helping hand seemed too abrupt, and he couldn't show the preciousness of giving charcoal in a timely manner.

So he originally planned to come here to fight the fire first, and then let Meng Sun Heji act as a great man descended from heaven.

If he had known that the jailers in Qufu were so brutal, why would Meng Sun Heji wait for him?

"Damn, these guys are really deceiving!"

Zaiyu cursed the insects in Qufu in a low voice, and then walked back to Mengsun Heji's carriage without anyone noticing.

Mencius asked happily, "My son, how is the situation?"

He bowed his hands to Mengsun Heji: "The situation is better than I expected. Now everything is ready, I only owe you to appear on the stage."

"Okay! Come on, son, please get in the car, you and I will go together!"

Zaiyu got into the carriage, and before he could sit still, Mengsun Heji asked, "My son, what would you like me to say later?"

At the beginning, Zaiyu wanted Mengsun Heji to take it easy, but after seeing the scene where the jailer humiliated Zilu, he no longer planned to show mercy.

He just mentioned lightly: "I'm just a primary school student under my master's school, and I usually have peers with my classmates, so I don't know how to punish my subordinates.

And Mencius, you have been in a high position for a long time, so you should be familiar with the means of punishing your subordinates, so you can play freely for a while.

But although I don't understand the reason, I still want to remind you.What you did today, the master and classmates can all see it, maybe you can consider showing some sincerity. "

Meng Sun Heji was not stupid, he quickly captured the key information in Jae Yu's words.

Punish subordinates?

Master and classmates see it?

He smiled slightly.

It seems that there must be some unpleasantness between Zilu and the jailer!
Meng Sun Heji saw through Zai Yu's intention, but Zai Yu didn't care whether he saw through it or not.

Because the purpose of Mengsun Heji's trip is to resolve the grievances with his master and Zilu and other senior disciples for many years.

What he said was to give a pillow to someone who fell asleep, Mengsun Heji was too happy, so how could he blame Zaiyu for bringing private goods?

Meng Sun Heji adjusted his mood, put on a solemn expression, and gave instructions to Ran Meng who was driving.

"Hmph! These Xiao Xiaoxiao are really lawless! Ran Meng, speed up for me, I will meet these rude and unrighteous people today!"

　Now, you know what?I heard that the recommended ticket falls at a speed of five centimeters per second.

　　The speed of 5 centimeters per second is the speed at which the recommendation ticket falls, so what speed can we cover the distance between you and me?
