After greeting the panic-stricken shopkeeper and several young waiters who were like headless flies, he moved from the table in the corner to a large round table on the railing in front of the window. After Zhang Shou took the others and sat down together,

He once again reassured Lin Laohu not to be impatient, and then he picked up two raisins in his leisure time, ate them, and then looked down condescendingly.

I saw that the man who beat the gong did not go far, but walked back and forth in this area, only shouting about the news that the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor had been castrated, and when someone pulled him to ask more details

At that time, he couldn't tell a reason at all.

After a few visits, Zhang Shou could see that the man who played the gong was not vague, but that he was not mentally normal at all. Except for a few words that he mumbled back and forth, he seemed to be unable to speak other words.

But just because he made such a fuss, people gathered from all directions to figure out all kinds of details on their own, especially some scholars, who even showed off their discussion and analysis. When ordinary people were curious to join in,

When I came over, the sound of the loud talk reached directly to the second floor of Xinglong Tea House, and Zhang Shou and others who were standing by the window could hear it clearly.

"Chu Kuan, the chief seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has always been good at power. As an eunuch, he kept concubines and beautiful maids at home. He recognized a lot of children and grandchildren. Every day, he wore silks and satins and delicacies from the mountains and seas, all of which were paid by the people! If it weren't for the honorable men in the court,

I can’t stand it anymore. I impeach regardless of my life and future. How can I let this power be removed from power?”

"The two Bingbi in charge of rituals are not good people either! I heard that their nephews took advantage of their status to run rampant and forcefully marry the good daughters of scholars..."

"My dear friends, are you just hearing this? The Chief of Ceremony disowns all his relatives, has broken ties with each other, is unfaithful and unfilial, and does not recognize his parents at all. How can he have children and nephews? The children raised in their family are not intended to be children and grandchildren, nor are they to be slaves.

Yes, but they secretly raise those who will break bones and suck out marrow! History books also say that these eunuchs, who are not in high esteem, are fond of cannibalism!"

Hearing this argument becoming more and more distorted and bizarre, Lin Laohu's face turned pale. He had already realized that there was definitely something fishy behind this matter, and maybe some big boss planned to take this opportunity to attack.

The culprits of the Supervisor of Ceremonies planned to eradicate the situation. However, as the head of the execution chamber, he avoided such a mess because he was really afraid of being held accountable later.

But he had scolded him when he was down there just now, but it was not as intimidating as when Zhang Shou's identity was revealed before. Not only was the gong beater still fidgeting with himself,

Even if he fights, the people watching will not listen to him at all...

Some people even took advantage of the chaos and shouted there, not only wanting to bring down Quan Eunuch, but also to kill the Eunuch Party members. If Ah Liu hadn't dragged him out of the crowd, he even doubted whether he would have been beaten as a Eunuch Party member by those guys who were making trouble.

!

Seeing the panic on Lin Laohu's face, Zhang Shouzheng wanted to comfort him, but happened to hear Ah Liu's voice in his ear. After hearing clearly, he smiled and said: "The people from the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division are here!

"

Hearing Zhang Shou's words, not to mention Lin Laohu, even Zou Ming, Ye Mengqiu and others couldn't help but look out the window. They saw a group of people and several horses appearing at the intersection on both sides of the Xinglong Teahouse almost at the same time.

The sturdy man directly pulled the rope to block the intersection, and then the drums, which were louder and more rhythmic than the previous chaotic gongs, suddenly sounded.

Before the man who was the first to shout didn't even have time to hit the gong hard in order to counterattack, a tall man next to him relaxed his arms, snatched the gong from his hand, and then slammed it to the ground.

A loud noise made the crowd suddenly fall silent.

Recognizing that the person who suddenly took action was Zhu Yi, Zhang Shou couldn't help but secretly cheer. Sure enough, without the sound of gongs as a countermeasure, the drums and drums seemed to ring in everyone's hearts, and suddenly the sound of

All the shouting sounds.

Even if there are still people who plan to incite the crowd to fight, as soon as the voice comes out, someone will immediately take action behind or beside them. Ah Liu, who has excellent eyes, can even clearly see that the direction of the mark is different, but the technique is different.

The hand knife was very similar, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Guys like Zhu Yi are so rough in what they do! After knocking someone unconscious, they will cause a commotion among other people around them. If he did it, he would be able to drag the person away without anyone noticing...if there weren't many of these people mixed in with the crowd.

, I'm afraid it won't be able to be suppressed at all.

When Ah Liu was thinking this, Zhang Shou also discovered that those who took the lead in making noises had been pushed to the ground. The people who took action were all hidden in the crowd in advance. He only recognized Zhu Yi, but the others

It seemed that not all of them were the guards of Duke Zhao's mansion. Under such intimidation and the sound of drums, the originally noisy crowd finally gradually became quiet.

In an instant, the drum sound stopped suddenly. Then a loud voice sounded: "Master Zhu, the commander of the army of the five cities, announced that someone instigated Madman Chen behind Guiyi Temple in Xuanbeifang in the outer city to beat the gong and cause trouble.

If it is suspicious, Mr. Zhu will investigate it personally!"

After the identity of the gong ringer was revealed, the man shouted again: "If scholars have the heart to discuss politics, they should seriously write letters and speak out. Don't talk about it on the street like three aunts and six women, chattering endlessly, making up nonsense, and humiliating you who have read it for no reason."

The sage’s letter! This time is just a warning. If you do it again, don’t blame Master Zhu. You will submit your name to the Provincial Provincial Director and the Supervising Censor of each province, and your reputation will be revoked!"

As the loud voice ended, there was only a sound of retreating. In an instant, Madman Chen, who was beating the gong, and the gong were sandwiched between the two men and were taken away without a trace. As for the rest

The person who was restrained after the yelling was thrown directly on the spot like a piece of rag that no one wanted. The person who made the move walked away without even looking at it.

When the people from the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division who had just pulled the rope to block both ends of the street also retreated, a few voices gradually came from the once silent street, but all of them kept their voices extremely low.

Seeing those unlucky guys on the ground groaning and getting up, some people in the crowd who looked like scholars in Confucian shirts slipped away quietly, and even the ordinary people dispersed in a hurry. The streets that were just lively like a market became deserted almost instantly.

After they came down, only a few scattered people were left. Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile at the stunned Lin Laohu and said: "The Nancheng Army and Horses Division really came quickly."

"This hit, Chu Er Yuansi's style, Master Zhu is indeed worthy of being the queen of the generals. This is where the tactics of war are applied here!"

Lin Laohu's eyes were relaxed and he was stunned. Before he could reply, Zou Ming couldn't help but praise him. Not only him, but others could not help but echo again and again. They all felt that Nancheng Bingma Division's reaction was extremely fast and was simply wonderful.

But Ah Liu couldn't help but squint his eyes, and then said in a confused manner: "Someone is coming upstairs!"

This Xinglong Tea House is now a landmark building in the outer city. It is not surprising that someone goes upstairs. However, Ah Liu specifically warned, Zhang Shou couldn't help but his heart moved. Sure enough, following the sound of unhurried footsteps, he came up the stairs.

one person.

I saw that the person who came was wearing a simple dark blue robe. He looked like an ordinary scholar, but the scar on his face made the originally handsome face somewhat disfigured. On his feet, he was wearing a pair of old and not new ones.

He wore soft black boots and a sword on his waist. The sword had a black scabbard and a black handle. It was not inlaid with gold or jade, and it didn't even have a tassel. It was extremely simple.

But when Zhang Shou saw someone, he stood up with a smile, bowed his hands politely and said, "Brother Zhu."

Seeing that there were actually several people standing up after Zhang Shou, some he knew and some he didn't know, Zhu Tingfang seemed a little surprised, and at the moment he nodded politely.

He did not shy away from the crowd and said straightforwardly: "After Yingying came back last night, I heard the whole thing from her. I expected that someone might want to chase the bandits while the iron was hot, so I made arrangements first. I didn't expect that there was actually someone.

So stupid."

"Jiuzhang, I heard that your Jiuzhang Hall has moved to the inner city and plans to hold open classes on an open day. All the astronomy and mathematics talents who have been called to Beijing will come to observe? If possible, it is best to postpone it for a few days.

If such a big thing happens, there may be a lot of demons dancing around next, so be careful that others will focus on your Jiuzhang Hall and this sutra calculation hall that has attracted much attention even before it is built."

Seeing Zhang Shou smiling indifferently but avoiding answering, Zhu Tingfang couldn't help but have a headache when he remembered that people's ability to cause trouble was greater than Zhu Ying's ability to cause trouble before.

However, Zhang Shou is his future brother-in-law. Even if others don't listen, he still has to advise: "Don't think I'm being alarmist. You know, there are many people among the candidates who are taking the exam. Since your open class is open to the public,

Maybe some people will listen."

"Then they must understand." Zhang Shou smiled nonchalantly, "In the past, Jiuzhangtang also had an open day in the Imperial College, and there were also open classes. There were more people coming to listen, and it didn't matter if there were more onlookers. They

The ability to read the books of sages and write texts is naturally top-notch, but when it comes to criticizing the Sutra of Calculation, if they really have that ability, it would be a surprise to me."

They had to understand Zhang Shou's words, and Zou Ming, the three ministers, were immediately embarrassed. They had also visited Tiangongfang, and had seen the "New Edition of Gurdjieff's Arithmetic" that could be seen everywhere in Zhang's garden.

They could still read the rough one or two volumes, but the subsequent volumes were as if they were reading from heaven.

Ye Mengqiu and the others thought of their stupid criticism at Lu Sanlang's coronation ceremony, and felt even more ashamed. They had been learning astronomy since they were young. If they were replaced by those who only read books about sages...

I'm afraid we will have to repeat the scene when Zhang Shou demonstrated in public on the day of the sutra banquet, when a group of court officials were yelling about evil magic!

Zhu Tingfang had a panoramic view of the expressions of Zhang Shou and other guests, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. However, Zhang Shou was so confident that he remembered that his teacher Liu Zhiyuan was now a public school student, so he said calmly: "You have

Just be sure, I've sorted through this outer city in the past few days, and although I can't say that I've missed everything, I won't let anyone run amok again."

Lin Laohu has long wanted to see Zhu Tingfang alone, but he just regrets that he has never been able to find the opportunity. Today he finally got such an opportunity. When he saw Zhu Tingfang turned around and left after saying these words, how could he let it go and hurriedly caught up to him?

Go and salute.

"Master Zhu, this villain is Lin Huhu, the head of the Shuntian Prefecture's execution room. When someone was making trouble below, the villain also rushed down to stop it. However, he was unable to survive alone. Thanks to the sixth brother beside Master Shou, he finally escaped.

.Now, do you want me to go back quickly and lead people to patrol the city just in case?"

Zhu Tingfang stopped suddenly, looked back at Lin Laohu, and said in an understatement: "You are the head catcher of the execution room. Just focus on the thefts and various criminal cases. As for those who incite trouble with ulterior motives, it involves certain people."

As for those big shots, just leave it alone. As for if someone makes trouble in the city... I have already sent orders to the military divisions of the east, west, north, and central cities."

"If there is such a situation where people are incited to cause trouble, but they are timid and do not use crackdowns, I will only ask them! And if someone is offended during the crackdown, I will take the responsibility! I am not necessarily all in the outer city, saying

Maybe I’ll be watching them somewhere!”

At this moment, Lin Laohu only felt that he had seen his former boss Wang Jie and Wang Datou. He was also a person who took everything on himself and had strict requirements on his subordinates. Thinking back to the beginning, the officials and servants of Shuntian Mansion were simply

I work hard all day long and don’t dare to slack off, but I also feel at ease.

Because Wang Datou really takes all the responsibilities on his own! Moreover, Wang Datou also let it out that if anyone dares to harbor resentment against the servants of Shuntian Prefecture who perform official duties, and then takes revenge for personal gain, he will not give up his hat, but he will also

Let people reap the consequences!

Although the current Duke of Qin, Zhang Chuan, also delegates power internally and takes responsibility externally, Zhang Chuan himself said that he is Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and everything is the same as that of his predecessor. In addition, Zhang Chuan's identity can already suppress him.

He naturally admired Wang Datou even more. So, facing Zhu Tingfang who took the initiative to take over the biggest responsibility, he couldn't help but bow down and salute again with sincerity.

"I'm here for the Shuntian government office, and for all three teams of the Wanping Daxing County government office. Thank you very much, Mr. Zhu!"

"This is what the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division should do, so why bother with a word of thanks!"

Zhu Tingfang paused and said calmly: "Patrol thieves, clear streets and ditches, inspect prisons, and pay attention to fire bans. Any vagrants or traitors who cause trouble will be arrested and punished immediately... These are all the responsibilities of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.

If we push them all out, what else will the Five Cities Army Corps do?"

After hearing this, Zou Ming finally couldn't help but asked: "Master Zhu, you have done all these things, what about the censor who patrols the city?"

This time, Zhang Shou said with a smile: "As for the censor patrolling the city, in addition to supervising the military and horse divisions of the five cities to perform their duties, it is actually more to prevent foreign officials from entering the capital and making envoys and bribes.

But, looking at it, among the successive censors who patrolled the city, how many people dared to accuse foreign officials of colluding with court officials? How many of them could find out the entrustments and bribes? "

"Over the years, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has almost become the domain of the cabinet and ministers, and those who are really strong and strong have found it difficult to gain a foothold." Zhu Tingfang added without saltiness, and then looked at

Xiang Zou Ming and others said, "I really hope that among the new Jinshi this time, there will be a group of decent censors."

"In order to show that you are not afraid of power, you are picky about the so-called powerful people; in order to cater to your superiors, you act as a pawn; you are just trying to gain fame and reputation, and you are even using your reputation to sell your integrity; these are all bullshit censorship! A real censorship is about fairness and justice.
