The gentry and wealthy families in Suzhou and Hangzhou were naturally unwilling to hand over any copper coins in their hands. However, facing the tax collectors sent by Liu Jin, these gentry had no choice.

At this time, Su Kui, who was a civil servant, called out. Xi Zhen, Shao Zhiyong, Qi Wenyu and other literati immediately responded. They even led people to block the tax department's Yamen, and even rushed into the Yamen. Several tax collectors sent by Liu Jin dragged him out of the yamen and beat him to death in front of many Suzhou people.

This incident spread quickly, and Su Kui, Xizhen, Shao Zhiyong, Qi Wenyu and others became famous all over the world, and were regarded by countless scholars as role models who dared to resist the eunuch Liu Jin.

Especially after Su Kui and others killed the tax collectors sent by Liu Jin, but Liu Jin failed to capture them. In this case, Su Kui and others became famous and gradually became famous. of great celebrities.

In the eyes of Su Kui and others, Xie Qian, the former cabinet minister, was their predecessor. What's more, Xie Qian rebelled against Liu Jin and opposed the emperor's favor of the treacherous villain Li Huan, so that he was deposed by the emperor. This is the same as their desire for the world. The common people stood up and beat to death the tax collectors sent by Liu Jin, which was the same behavior.

So Su Kui and others wanted to visit Xie Qian after they became famous. Unfortunately, they came by chance a few months ago. When they arrived at Shaoxing Prefecture, Xie Qian happened to be not in Xieyuan. Naturally, Xie Qian could not be seen.

However, although Xie Qian was not seen, these few people were well-known. No matter where they went, as long as they told their glorious past of besieging and killing tax collectors, they would definitely attract the respect of the scholars.

Therefore, these people are living a carefree life in Shaoxing Mansion these days. Under the praise of countless people, the reputation of Su Kui and others has become more and more loud and clear in Shaoxing Mansion.

When several people learned that Xie Qian was opening the door to give lectures, they hurried over to see Xie Qian.

Xie Qian naturally knew the names of Su Kui and others. When he learned that Su Kui and others came to visit him, Xie Qian naturally welcomed them into Xie Garden to entertain them.

Su Kui, who was about thirty years old, had a rosy face and was slightly fat. At this moment, he said to Xie Qian impassionedly: "The student is really dissatisfied with the elder. Your Majesty actually condoned Liu Jin and Li Huan and other treacherous villains and stayed away from the pavilion." Such a loyal and virtuous minister is not the behavior of a wise king!"

Xie Qian coughed lightly and said, "Speak carefully, Your Majesty was just deceived by villains like Li Huan and Liu Jin."

Su Kui's courtesy name is Mingguang, so Xie Qian called Su Kui after Mingguang.

Su Kui said with a smile: "Mr. Ge is just too careful. Besides, I'm just expressing my feelings. Could it be that what your Majesty did, we can't say?"

As he spoke, Su Kui said to his companions: "Daya, Mingkun, you guys, tell me whether this is true."

Xi Zhen's name is Xi Daya, and Shao Zhiyong's courtesy name is Mingkun.

Several people were dressed in Tsing Yi, and all of them had fat heads, big ears, and red faces. It was obvious at a glance that they were eating well on weekdays. Otherwise, they would never look like this.

Xizhen heard the words and said with a smile: "What Brother Mingguang said is true. Mr. Ge is too soft, and that's why he was bullied by such treacherous villains as Li Huan and Liu Jin. In my opinion, Mr. Ge should stand up and give a shout-out and lead the way."

The scholars of the Imperial Academy beat Liu Jin and Li Huan to death."

Xie Qian raised his eyebrows, shook his head with a smile and said: "Perhaps it is true as the little friend said, I am getting old. As the saying goes, talented people come out from generation to generation. With the courage of a few little friends, there will definitely be several young friends in the future.

That’s it.”

Hearing Xie Qian praise them so much, several people were overjoyed. Although they were famous among scholars, they had never been praised by a real scholar like Xie Qian. They could imagine that if Xie Qian praised them today,

If their words of praise and approval spread, their reputation will be greater and more people will respect them.

And with such a great reputation, their family will also benefit from it. Not to mention other things, if they use any means at that time, they may not be able to occupy some high-quality acres. Even the local government will not be able to help them.

Thinking that in the future they would most likely be like Xie Qian, with vast hectares of fertile land, gardens everywhere, and beauties surrounding them, several of them could not help but show joy on their faces.

Su Kui endured the excitement in his heart and cupped his hands towards Xie Qian and said, "Old Ge, you are so complimentary. How can the younger generation like us compare with Mr. Ge?"

Xie Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "I said you deserve it, you deserve it. If you don't say anything else, just for asking for orders for the people and killing the tax collector sent by the eunuch Liu Jin who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you are a well-deserved great person."

Celebrity."

At this moment, Xie Di came over with a stack of brand new books that smelled like ink in his arms.

There are at least a dozen volumes in this book, a thick stack.

Xie Di nodded towards Su Kui and the others, placed a stack of books in his arms in front of Xie Qian and said, "Brother, according to your instructions, these books have been published in volumes. Brother, you might as well take a look!"

Xie Qian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he picked up the top volume. On the cover of the book, several large characters were clearly visible.

"Chen Sheng's Collected Relics"

Needless to say, this is the title of this book. Xie Qian flipped through it, and gradually a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded with satisfaction.

Xie Di stood aside, and when he saw Xie Qian's reaction, he knew that Xie Qian must be extremely satisfied with the content recorded in the book.

Xie Di has naturally read the content. This is basically a short story described by the scholar Chen Mingsheng in the form of memories. Needless to say, the protagonist of the story is Xie Qian. In the story, Xie Qian is loyal and not afraid of Liu Jin and Li.

Huan, a great traitor, had the courage to fight against him, but in the end he was deposed because the emperor was fatuous and favored villains.

The story is not very long, but the scholar Chen Mingsheng wrote brilliantly and vividly portrayed Liu Jin and Li Huan as treacherous villains. Even the emperor in this story was extremely stupid.

Xie Qian put this volume aside, then picked up another volume and read it.

The title of this volume is called "Disaster on the Country", and Xie Di is also familiar with the content of this volume, which is also a short story.

However, the content of this short story does not refer directly to Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao and Xie Qian. Instead, it is a fictional dynasty in which the emperor favored young powerful officials and allowed them to harm the loyal people of the court. Especially in the book, there are metaphors

The emperor was like Long Yang, and his relationship with the powerful minister was extremely ambiguous.

Although the story is fictional, the person who wrote it used extremely skillful techniques to substitute Zhu Houzhao, Li Huan, Liu Jin, Xie Qian and others into it. As long as you are not a fool, you will immediately understand the emperor in it after reading this story.

Who does it refer to, and who does the traitor refer to.

After reading it, Xie Qian couldn't help but patted the book and exclaimed: "Okay, okay, such a good book should be published all over the world."

Su Kui and Xizhen couldn't help but become curious when they saw this, and their eyes fell on the books in front of Xie Qian.

Xie Qian noticed the gazes of several people, and said with a smile on his lips: "Mingguang, come and take a look. This is a book written by some scholars a few days ago. I decided to help them publish it and distribute it to the world."

Then he handed several books to Su Kui and others.

Su Kui and others took the book and looked through it carefully, and soon there were strange looks on their faces.

With their knowledge, how could they not see that the stories in these books all have a common core, which is to praise Xie Qian as a loyal man, while the emperor was ignorant and immoral, and Liu Jin and Li Huan were killed by everyone.

The great traitor.

Looking at these books, Su Kui had an impulse in his heart. He wanted to write a book himself. This book would not record anything else, but how Su Kui cared about the country and the people, how he was both wise and brave, and how he was not afraid of power.

, the deed of climbing up a mountain and leading people to beat a tax collector who was causing harm to the country and the people to death on the spot.

He, Su Kui, also wanted to leave his name in history and pass it on to future generations.

Seeing the expressions of Su Kui and others, Xie Qian could not guess that just because he saw these books, Su Kui had the idea of ​​recording his own deeds and passing them on to future generations.

However, Xie Qian looked at the group of people and said with a smile: "Mingguang, what do you think the stories of these books are?"

Su Kui immediately said: "Back to Muzhaigong, these stories are really good. They deeply expose the ugly faces of Li Huan and Liu Jin. If they can be published in the world, they will definitely make the people realize how hateful they are."

Su Kui said to Xie Qian: "I would like to ask Duke Mu Zhai to allow us to take these books back to Suzhou and Hangzhou for printing, and spread them to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so that the people of Suzhou and Hangzhou will have a clearer understanding of the dangers of Li Huan, Liu Jin and others.

.”

Hearing this, Xie Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, I agree to this. All these books will be given to a few friends."

Su Kui, Xizhen and others immediately bowed their hands to Xie Qian and said, "I will thank Duke Muzhai later."

At this point, Xie Qian's eyes fell on Xie Di and said, "Can these books be released to the world?"

Xie Di nodded slightly and said: "It has been sent to various bookstores according to my brother's instructions. It will definitely be spread all over the world in a short time."

Xie Qian smiled and said: "That's very good."

As he said that, Xie Qian raised his glass and pointed it at Su Kui.

At the same time, Shaoxing Prefecture, Yuyao County

The prosperity of Jiangnan is not as simple as just talking about it, it is really prosperous.

Especially since the land south of the Yangtze River has been at peace for a hundred years, and there have been no military disasters for a hundred years, it can be imagined that its prosperity is definitely in the sky and on the ground compared to the north.

It is not as simple as saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

Although Yuyao is not as good as Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is also a famous and prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River.

On this day, a group of people suddenly appeared outside Yuyao County. Under the astonished eyes of the defenders, they broke into the city directly.

When they saw clearly what these people were wearing, the soldiers who originally wanted to shout and scold them closed their mouths one by one. Even if they were crazy, they did not dare to provoke these imperial guards.

The city gatekeeper who was guarding the gate looked at the group of Jin Yiwei entering the city and couldn't help but look frightened and muttered in a low voice: "God, what's going on? Why did the Jin Yiwei suddenly appear here?"

Needless to say, these are naturally the Jinyiwei who came to Shaoxing Prefecture with Li Huan, but the leader is Zhao Yi, who has been promoted to the Jinyiwei Town Governor.

Zhao Yi led dozens of royal guards in the direction of the Xie family's mansion in Yuyao County.

Based on Jin Yiwei's information, Li Huan naturally knew that Xie Qian was giving lectures at Xie Garden outside Yuyao County. After all, Xie Qian's lectures caused so much noise. If Jin Yiwei couldn't even find out this, then Jin Yiwei wouldn't be able to find out.

It is necessary to exist.

Zhao Yi galloped on his horse. His mission was to control the Xie Mansion and take care of all the relatives of the Xie Mansion.

Suddenly, a scholar on the roadside held a book and shouted: "Okay, the traitor Li Huan should be killed..."

The scholar was obviously so engrossed in his reading that he didn't even notice the movement coming from behind him. He seemed to be so excited when he saw it that he couldn't help but let out a shout.

As a result, his shout was clearly heard by Zhao Yi.

If it was anything else, Zhao Yi, who had a mission, would never pay attention to it, but the scholar actually shouted that Li Huan should be killed, so Zhao Yi could not pretend that he had not heard it.

The reins were tightened suddenly, and the war horse couldn't help but neigh, its hoofs were raised high, and it almost stepped on the scholar.

The neighing sound of the war horse startled the scholar. He dropped the books in his hand to the ground in fright, and looked at the face that suddenly approached him with a horrified look.

It turned out that at this moment, Zhao Yi froze and grabbed the scholar's collar and lifted him in front of him.

Staring at the scholar, Zhao Yi snorted coldly: "Tell me, what did you say just now?"

The scholar didn't understand what was going on at this moment, so he subconsciously said: "Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng was just reading. When he saw something exciting, he shouted that Li Huan should be killed, this official, Xiaosheng..."

Zhao Yi's expression changed, and he snorted coldly: "Where is the book?"
