Daming talker

Chapter 504 For your own good!
Official Lin kept visiting for three days and finally sorted out the name cards that had been sent in.

At this time, he was almost exhausted. After sleeping all night to regain his blood, he couldn't wait to leave the house to relax.

He took the guardians on his left and right to the Nanhao neighborhood outside the West City Wall of Suzhou. The specific location was Wulong Teahouse at the entrance of Shijia Lane.

This is an old base. Before the Canglang Pavilion Lin Mansion was built, Lin Daguan lived here most of the time in Shijia Lane, and even named the house Xinxin Academy.

The mansion is still there, but it has been used by the Nanhao Street City Management Office.

The Wulong Tea House at the entrance of the alley was opened by Feng Menglong and his second uncle. Today, Lin Daguan made an appointment with Feng Menglong to meet here.

The Zhang brothers, the guardians on the left and right, were put on leave for three days and took up their duties again today.

After entering the teahouse, Zhang Wu, the right protector, looked around and said, "Nothing has changed at all. Business is still so bad. I wonder how Shopkeeper Feng can persist."

Protector Zuo Zhang Wen mocked his younger brother: "With your brain, you really don't understand.

Nowadays, there is not much business for individual tourists here, and it has become a place where people talk and have peace of mind by convention. Those Yaren brokers hang out here when they have nothing to do. "

Without these three people taking the initiative, the crowd immediately moved away from these three people, automatically highlighting these three people.

Although the path of Gongsheng students is far worse than that of Juren, it is also a way for the country to select talents. How can we allow academic tyrants like you to do whatever they want? "

For this reason, a term has been derived called "student tyrants", which generally refers to those old students who have been in school for many years and control school affairs.

Sixteen-year-old Wen Zhenmeng said with an upright face: "I have long heard that there is a top student in the school who specializes in controlling election affairs.

The literary seed entered the school with extraordinary momentum. Seven or eight classmates immediately gathered around him to protect him at all times. Wang Zhideng, the leader of the local literary circle, also visited the school from time to time.

Professor Zhang also didn’t think that Feng Menglong had the ability and courage.

In fact, the Mansion School is right next to Lin Mansion in Canglang Pavilion. Lin Daguan came to Nanhao Street outside Xumen and was about to go back.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Sixty or seventy big men came outside and blocked the gate of the mansion!"

As a result, the newly arrived Wen Zhenmeng did whatever he wanted because of his powerful family background, and even reported all the old students who controlled the selection of Gongsheng students!
Including Ma Jun, everyone was punished by the academic officer.

Today should be the day when the government school returns to school for lectures. Why don’t you go? "

For example, each school has one or two quotas for Gongsheng students to be sent to the Imperial College every year, which can be regarded as another way out besides the provincial examination.

Even if he had never seen Professor Zhang, he had heard of it. He took a few steps forward, intending to speak first to greet him.

Scholars who are students are different from ordinary people, and they generally have some confidence. Everyone heard that the entrance to the school was blocked, and they all went to the gate to watch the excitement.

Wen Zhenmeng responded: "Study to establish yourself, just seek justice! I only know how to discuss things as they are, no matter you claim to be a fake academic master or a real academic master."

Thinking of the other person's family background, Ma Jun gave up the idea of ​​hitting him and asked patiently: "Classmate Wen! We have always respected you. You have a bright future. Things like being a Gongsheng student have nothing to do with you.

Sixty or seventy big men? Ma Jun suddenly realized something, and said to Wen Zhenmeng: "There are real academic masters out there! Wen has the courage to meet the real academic masters first, and then sing a high note with me!"

Something happened recently that made old student Ma Jun very distressed.

Originally, Ma Jun thought that it would be okay if everyone could play their own way.

The students all gasped, it was Lin Tailai who came in person!

Professor Zhang has only been here for more than half a year, and he still doesn’t know who these big guys are who dare to block the school gate.

In fact, by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, in various schools, it was no longer a new thing for seniors to bully juniors and old students to bully new students.

The clay figurine was still angry, and Ma Jun said angrily: "You say we are academic masters? Wen Zhenmeng, you have never seen what a real academic master looks like! You just dare to tease us!"

If in other schools, an old student like Ma Jun would be considered a top student, but unfortunately his fate is too bad.

But Lin Daguan did not even look at Professor Zhang. He only glanced at the crowd of students and shouted loudly: "Zhou Shiyi, Huang Menghe, Liu Xizu, you three come out!"

Feng Menglong, who is between adulthood and underage, is sitting in the corner, looking depressed.

As a result, before we could be happy for a few months, in the spring of this year, Wen Zhenmeng, the future hope of half of Suzhou's literary world, was admitted to school.

"I don't want to go to school anymore." After all, Feng Menglong was not very old. He had never experienced any setbacks since he was a child, and he was sensitive. After being teased a few times, his eyes became red.

Someone else shouted: "The leader is Feng Menglong! It looks like Feng Menglong brought it!"

Official Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say: "Why are you still crying? Your father has already begged me, and I will definitely help you find your place. Let's go! Go to the mansion with me first!"

At this moment, a passage suddenly opened among dozens of big men, and a majestic green-robed man appeared at the front.

Then Professor Zhang, the instructor of the Imperial Academy, also came out and shouted sternly at the big man blocking the door: "Who dares to cause trouble in a place where sacred knowledge is taught!"

The entourage all thought that Lin Daguan must have been depressed at home for the past three days and deliberately went out for a walk.

At the end of last year, the professor of this university also changed. It turned out that Professor Cui was promoted to the county magistrate elsewhere because many people passed the provincial examination and had excellent teaching performance.

The quota for Gongsheng students is theoretically determined based on seniority, and the selection is basically controlled by old students and top students.

It was not until last year that Lin Daguan and his friends succeeded in passing the provincial examination and left school.

After many years, Ma Xiucai was now in his forties, and he was about to become a mother-in-law. As a result, three years ago, Lin Daguan, the number one hero in Suzhou City, brazenly enrolled in school.

Why do you reach out across the border and compete with old people like us who have no future? "

Lin Daguan said jokingly: "Isn't this classmate Xiao Feng? I heard that he has been unhappy recently.

At this time, in the Fu School, the meetings and lectures are over, and now it is time for students to communicate freely.

But I didn't expect that a few days ago, the government school selected Gongsheng students to study in the Imperial College. This was supposed to be the private land of the old students. They could sell their places for some money or exchange for some benefits.

Ma Jun, a senior student in his forties, stood in front of Wen Zhenmeng, a freshman who just entered school this spring. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Lin Tailai then said to Professor Zhang: "I want to punish these three people and give the instructor a warning."

Professor Zhang asked about his responsibilities: "Our country upholds the idea of ​​​​nurturing scholars. Scholars have their own dignity, and even the government cannot easily increase the punishment.

Even if you make a mistake and be punished, you must first report it to the Grand Master. Even the government generally does not impose punishment directly! "

Official Lin seemed stunned for a moment and suddenly asked a question: "Am I a government official?" Professor Zhang replied: "Of course not."

"Then why should I abide by the rules of the government?" Lin Daguan said with reason: "The government gives honor to scholars. That is the government's business. What does it have to do with me, Lin Tailai?"
If I beat several talented people and were all convicted, wouldn't my exam as the number one pick be in vain? Isn’t it a waste to join Hanlin? "

Professor Zhang was speechless for a moment and couldn't think of anything to say in reply.

Moreover, there is also extreme sadness and resentment towards fate. Even members of this underworld can win nine yuan in a row, but I can't even pass the Jinshi exam!
While they were talking, the three students from the mansion whose names were called by Lin Tailai were already surrounded by the servants of the Lin mansion.

Lin Tailai looked around and said: "Most of you are my old classmates, Lin Tailai. I would like to explain a few more words here. Don't think that I am bullying others for no reason!"

Then he pointed at the three people and said: "These three people insulted Feng Menglong at the Lunar New Year gathering. I, Lin Tai, couldn't stand it, so I fought for justice!

Secondly, these three people openly insulted Feng Menglong, the Taoist test master, Weifang Wagua!

Now that I know it, I can't ignore it. After all, Feng Menglong and I went to school together and have the same Taoist examination master! "

As soon as Lin Daguan finished speaking, the servants grabbed the three students from the mansion and walked out.

Because all the old brothers who are familiar with Lin Daguan know that the so-called explanation in the hall is just an explanation, and it is purely superficial.

Whether others listen or not, believe it or not, it does not affect how you do things.

"Wait! Wait!" This time, Officer Lin stopped his men.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Is this a change in sitting in the hall?

Then I saw Lin Daguan asking Feng Menglong: "Who is Wen Zhenmeng?"

Feng Menglong was speechless and silently pointed at a young boy in the crowd.

Official Lin then greeted Wen Zhenmeng again and said, "I'm going to take the three of them away!
The hatred for humiliating the teacher is irreconcilable. It is possible for them to be injured, disabled or alive. What do you say? "

Wen Zhenmeng: “.”

How could a sixteen-year-old boy who grew up under the wings of his father have ever experienced such a thing?

He has finally seen what it means to be a true academic master. No wonder Ma Jun was still unconvinced when he accused old student Ma Jun of being a top student.

The 70 or 80 people present all looked at Wen Zhenmeng, the rising star of the academy.

Everyone can get into the imperial examination. There are not many fools. They all feel that Lin Daguan deliberately mentioned Wen Zhenmeng. There is something in his words.

Thinking about it carefully, the three students who were arrested seemed to be in Wen Zhenmeng's circle at ordinary times?
Suddenly, an old student named Ma sneered a few times and said mockingly: "Didn't Classmate Wen say that he will never tolerate top students? This is a real top student, why don't you dare to step forward?"

Wen Zhenmeng couldn't stand the excitement, and when his mind got hot, he strode forward and said loudly to Lin Tailai: "Senior Lin! You"

Lin Tailai suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Wen Zhenmeng.

Then in full view of everyone, Lin Daguan picked up Wen Zhenmeng like a little chicken, then used both arms together and threw him back!
Wen Zhenmeng's small body fell into the Lin family's servants in a parabolic arc.

Under the horrified gazes of outsiders, the servants of the Lin Mansion calmly caught Wen Zhenmeng skillfully.

"Take them away together!" Lin Daguan ordered his servants, and then said to Professor Zhang: "Send a message to Wen Yuanfa, the steward of the Wen family, and tell him that his son is in my hands!"

Then Lin Daguanren stopped acting, turned around, and left the school in a swaggering manner.

Everyone looked at the majestic figure of Lin Daguan and felt filled with emotion in their hearts.

I have to admit that even though Lin Daguan has all kinds of bad qualities, he is still relatively fair.

Regardless of whether the other party is rich or poor, from a distinguished family or a commoner, old, weak or young, as long as Lin Daguan feels offended, he will treat them equally.

In the afternoon of that day, Wen Zhenmeng's father Wen Yuanfa came to Lin Mansion.

Among those who came with Wen Yuanfa were Wang Zhideng, the world's best civilian poet and leader of local literary circles in Suzhou, Zhang Fengyi, Lin Daguan's literary agent, and Zhang Youyu, Lin Daguan's nominal mentor.

Looking at Suzhou, this is the top "lobbying" lineup in the literary world, which shows the profound influence of the literary family.

Wang Zhideng was Wen Zhengming's close disciple, Zhang Fengyi was Wen Zhengming's old friend in his later years, and Zhang Youyu became famous at a young age because of Wen Zhengming's support.

However, the person who came to receive him at the Lin Mansion was Gao Changjiang, the executive vice president of Hengtang College and the general manager of the Suzhou Storyteller Office.
The expressions on the faces of these old men are not very good. No matter how awesome you Lin Tailai is, you won't let a half-hearted scholar like Gao Changjiang come out to send them away, right?

Gao Changjiang bit the bullet and said: "Old gentlemen, please don't get me wrong!
Sitting there means that he has a bad temper and is afraid that the talks will collapse in person. So let me go out for the interview first, so that I can have some room for maneuver.

This is actually to give face to the Wen family. For the sake of your Wen family, I want to work hard in the direction of a good deal. "

Wang Zhideng asked: "What does it mean to have a good negotiation? Is it possible to have a bad negotiation?"

Gao Changjiang replied: "It's true. If we can't negotiate well, it means that Wen formed a clique in the school, persecuted his classmates, and insulted the former grand master. He will be sent to the academic officer to deal with it."

Wen Yuanfa became anxious after hearing the series of charges, and couldn't help shouting: "This is persecution! You still set up a private execution hall to arrest my son for persecution! Why is this!"

Gao Changjiang hurriedly advised again: "Mr. Wen, calm down! Don't think like that! It's for the good of your Wen family to seize your son while sitting in the palace!"

Wen Yuanfa: "."

Is it for the good of the Wen family that you still ride the horse? In my decades of living, I have never seen such rhetoric that confuses right and wrong.

Gao Changjiang explained: "If you shout loudly when you are in the government school, how will your son bully Feng Menglong, will it seriously affect your reputation?
Therefore, sitting in the hall without saying a word and directly arresting the son is the way to have the least impact on him.

This is not for the good of your Wen family, so what is it? "

Wang Zhideng had direct dealings with Lin Tailai and was familiar with Lin Tailai's characteristics. He first stopped Wen Yuanfa, who was troubled by concern, and asked in a deep voice:
"What does it mean to bully Feng Menglong? Is it just because of such a made-up excuse that Wen Zhenmeng was arrested privately?"

Gao Changjiang replied: "How can it be fabricated? We are the masters of justice, and we live and breathe justice.

It is in line with the moral principles of the world to stand up for Feng Menglong. Is there anything wrong? "

Several old men don't know what to say. You, Lin Tailai, have already reached the top prize, and yet you are still talking about the rules and morals of the world!
Gao Changjiang sighed: "Maybe we have recently felt that the rules of the literati are too tiring, and the rules of the world are more comfortable."

Wen Yuanfa and Wang Zhideng had no choice but to look at the crazy celebrity Zhang Youyu together.

Let alone the rules of the world, do you still want to talk about the rules of master and disciple?
Zhang Youyu, however, seemed to be in a state of trance, and sighed: "There are several new talents emerging in the Suzhou flower world this year. Alas, they don't pay much attention to them. What can I do?"
