A thin middle-aged scholar appeared in front of Luo Xin's eyes. It was a few months ago, when he came to study at his teacher's house after fighting for hydrology.It's just that the teacher just introduced him at that time, saying that he was from the capital, and didn't say anything else.Could it be that today's matter has something to do with that scholar surnamed Xiao, so he nodded and said:

"Students remember."

"He is Xu Jie's staff."

Luo Xin was surprised: "Scholar Xu?"

"Yes!"

Luo Xin is silent, this level is a bit high!Can my little arms and legs be worth it?

"He came to ask for an official position for the teacher, and he has already won an official position for the teacher."

Luo Xin is still silent, this should be a good thing, but the current atmosphere is definitely not a good thing, it seems that today's matter is related to the matter of the teacher's appointment.

"The teacher has already agreed, but... just a few days ago, your second uncle was suddenly arrested."

"Caught it?" Luo Xin was startled.

"Woooooo..." Lu Tingjiang's wife and daughter cried again.

Lu Tingfang didn't pay any attention to it, but continued: "We have to start with the matter at the border. There were conflicts at the border this year, and the situation became tense. You know that your second uncle is in the cloth business and has business dealings with the north. However, when the goods were delivered to the north last time, prohibited items were found in the goods."

"Prohibited items?"

"Ironware!" Lu Tingfang spat out two words softly.

"Ironware?"

Luo was shocked in his heart. Ironware is strictly forbidden by Ming Dynasty to be transported out of the customs.
This... How dare the second uncle do such a thing?

"However, your second uncle never transported ironware outside the customs!" Lu Tingfang said in a condensed voice.

"what?"

Luo Xin exclaimed in surprise, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body. He believed that the teacher would not deceive him, and with Lu Tingjiang's family business, he would not be able to sell ironware to obtain such huge profits. Woe.

"Where is Second Uncle now?"

"Jinyang Mansion Prison."

"Not escorted to Beijing?"

"no!"

Luo Xin's gaze was fixed, and he said for a while, "It's strange!"

A trace of relief appeared in Lu Tingfang's eyes, and a trace of surprise appeared on the face of the young man sitting opposite Luo Xin.At the beginning, he didn't think that this matter was strange, but he realized it after his uncle reminded him. He didn't expect Luo Xin, who was opposite him, to think of it in such a short period of time. He really deserves the name of a child prodigy!
"Teacher?"

Lu Tingfang then said to Lu Bei: "Ziyue, talk to Xin'er."

"Yes!" Lu Bei replied, and then looked at Luo Dao: "On the day my father was taken away, I rushed to Jinyang Mansion and asked to see the magistrate. I have met the magistrate many times before, and the magistrate also He received me. I offered 20 taels of treasure, but the prefect didn’t accept it, and later I begged to see the prefect, willing to exchange half of the family property for my father’s life, but the prefect didn’t nod.”

"I went for the third time!" Lu Tingfang took over the conversation and said, "The magistrate vaguely reminded me that if I want my second brother to be safe and sound, I must do two things. First, cede the Lu family weaving for free, and second, Can't go out."

"What a big appetite!" Luo Xin secretly said, it seems that it is not easy to frame the people of the Lu family!

"Xin'er, do you know why I was dismissed?"

Luo Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

"That's because I joined someone in the paper."

"Participated in a person?"

"Yes!"

"Who?"

"Yan Song!"

Luo Xin felt a chill in his back, and a chill ran from his tailbone to his brain like an electric shock, his scalp was numb.

He knew Yan Song very well, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.On the one hand, it was because of his good writing of Qing Ci, and on the other hand, it was also because he was good at financial management. Qing Ci was loved by the emperor, and the emperor relied heavily on financial management.Therefore, there is no difference between offending Yan Song and offending the emperor.

The teacher is brave enough!

Luo Xin thought quickly, the teacher was dismissed because he participated in Yan Song.Knowing the history of later generations, he naturally knew about Yan Song's affairs. Although Xu Jie married his daughter to Yan Song's son Yan Shifan, Xu Jie was the one who got rid of Yan Song in the end.Xu Jie asked the teacher to become an official because he wanted the teacher to be Xu Jie's gun against Yan Song.

Luo Xin was neither angry nor surprised at Xu Jie's actions, he knew that Xu Jie was an extremely scheming person.In order to achieve political goals, he can do anything.There is no human feeling in his heart at all, there are only pawns, and everyone is his pawn.

And Yan Song should have found out that Lu Tingfang was about to become an official. How could he let Lu Tingfang become an official?

In his opinion, Lu Tingfang was only dismissed from office last time, which is already a kind thing.Moreover, he really has no other good way to deal with scholars like Lu Tingfang except to dismiss him from office.

However, Lu Tingfang dared to become an official again after being dismissed from office. This is not something Yan Song's party can tolerate.They are bound to teach Lu Tingfang a serious lesson and make him completely stop thinking about becoming an official.

So this time they arrested Lu Tingjiang by means of framing. If you, Lu Tingfang, dare to become an official, Yan Song's party will dare to annex Lu Tingjiang's weaving and kill Lu Tingjiang. If Lu Tingfang says that he will never be an official again, then let him go Lu Tingjiang, but the Lu family's weaving can't be kept, so they have to hand it over.

On the one hand, this has warned Lu Tingfang, on the other hand, I am afraid that Yan Song's party has long been jealous of the Lu family's weaving. They just had no chance before, but this time they took the opportunity to win it in one fell swoop.

"What? Are you scared?" Seeing that Luo Xin had remained silent, Lu Tingfang said lightly.

Luo Xin woke up from his contemplation with a start. To be honest, he didn't have any good views on Yan Song and Xu Jie.If it was just the two of them fighting, Luo Xin would be happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.

but……

Now this is pulling him in!

No matter whether Luo Xin cares about it, whether he is afraid or not, he can't get rid of it, because he is Lu Tingfang's student.If he dared to run away from his teacher at this time, he would be cast aside by Shilin.Lu Tingfang was not his teacher, but a real teacher who taught him hand in hand. This era would never allow such a thing to happen.Immediately shook his head and said:

"Nothing to be afraid of."

"Oh?" There was a slight smile on Lu Tingfang's face: "Aren't you afraid that your future career will be involved? Or you won't pass the scientific examination at all?"

Luo Xin laughed and said, "He may not be able to achieve real power. Besides, the teacher must have a way to deal with it."

"Hey, I'm a little hesitant as a teacher!" Lu Tingfang sighed.
