The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 529: Obey the Law!

Mr. Lin stayed in the mansion in the county city that night, and even booked the entire mansion, otherwise he couldn't accommodate so many servants around him.

The next morning, Mr. Lin pushed the beauty on the bed away and got up to practice spear in the yard.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure kneeling outside.

This scared Mr. Lin. Who is here to show his presence so early in the morning?

Looking more closely, this relatively young scholar is none other than Chen Jiru, a rising star in the literary world of Songjiang Prefecture.

At this time, Feng Shike walked into the yard and asked Chen Jiru, "Zhongchun, why are you here?"

Chen Jiru kowtowed to Lin Daguanren and said, "Jiuyuan Immortal is here! I want to pretend, too, to become famous!"

Feng Shike smiled bitterly at Lin Tailai and said, "He heard from me about the fame plan you designed for the Gu family, and he went crazy."

Lin Tailai looked at Chen Jiru and asked, "Why do you want to become famous? I want to hear the truth!"

Chen Jiru said painfully, "In the past, I was called the Three Heroes of Yunjian with Tang Wenxian and Dong Qichang, but in the 13th year of Wanli, Tang Wenxian and Dong Qichang both passed the provincial examination.

In the 14th year of Wanli, Tang Wenxian passed the imperial examination again, and in the 17th year of Wanli, Dong Qichang was selected as a scholar.

Only I failed the provincial examination for consecutive years, and I have been wasting my time in school until now, and I am really tormented in my heart!"

Lin Tailai believes that this is the truth, and this comparison is really uncomfortable.

He tried again, "One of them is the top scholar and the other is a successor. Your road to the imperial examination cannot be better than theirs."

Chen Jiru still answered truthfully, "So I want to become famous in the literary world, to comfort myself in my life, and to explain my state of mind!"

So Mr. Lin said, "Since you are honest and have been recommended by Brother Feng many times, I will give you some advice.

You can choose a time to burn your Confucian robes and caps in public at the prefectural school!

Declare that you have completely given up the path of imperial examinations and officialdom, abandon the desire for fame and fortune, and then retreat to the mountains and forests, and follow the path of a mountain man and celebrity in the future."

This is what Chen Jiru did in history, and Mr. Lin was just a carrier of information.

Chen Jiru, who was unaware of the situation, was shocked. He imagined the scene of burning Confucian robes and caps in public, and it felt really cool.

No matter how he develops in the future, at least he has already won the limelight.

In recent years, the literary world has been moving towards a weird path. Many writers have tried their best to be creative and attract attention in order to become famous. Lin is a typical example.

Today, the first deputy leader, Jiuyuan Immortal, gave Chen Jiru advice, which can at least save him ten years of detours.

For Mr. Lin, this is also a long-term investment.

In history, Chen Jiru is still very good at "management", so this investment should not be a loss.

After sending off Chen Jiru, who was grateful, Lin Tailai prepared to continue his friendly visit to Songjiang Prefecture.

According to the previous itinerary plan, there are two more projects, one is to meet with Lin Jingyang, a fellow official who has a great influence on local social affairs, and the other is to visit Songjiang Prefecture School, a discussion center for local affairs.

After thinking for a while, Lin Tailai decided to adjust the order and visit Songjiang Prefecture School first, and then meet Lin Taigong.

Because the prefectural school is in the city, not far from the mansion where he stayed, and that Lin Taigong lives outside the city, so he will visit the near one first and the far one later.

However, on the way to the prefectural school, he passed by the government office again. In the spirit of "since I'm here, I'm here", Mr. Lin went to the government office first to take a look.

Prefect Xu Zhenming reported the construction data in detail, "We have adopted the method of segmented construction, with a total of 17 sections. The construction period is expected to be from autumn and winter this year to autumn and winter next year, and 10,000 pieces of wood and 40,000 pieces of stone are planned to be used." Lin Daguanren waved his hand and said, "You can make your own decisions on technical matters. You don't have to tell me everything. I just want the results! I came here this time just to ask you in person, are there any gentry who openly oppose it?" Xu Zhenming replied, "The former Nanjing Imperial Household Department Minister Lin Jingyang recently submitted a petition requesting to reconsider the project." "Sure enough, there is such an old man." Lin Tailai muttered, and asked, "What do you think?" Xu Zhenming sighed, "Such a person is not good at doing things, but more at ruining things. He must have the ability to make trouble." After Lin Tailai had a brief chat with the prefect, he got up and left the government office and continued to the government school. Schools and government offices are similar in architecture. Although this is the first time for Mr. Lin to visit Songjiang Prefecture School, he is familiar with the place.

From a distance, the group can see that there are already hundreds of scholars gathered in front of Minglun Hall. They don't know why.

When they get closer, they can see a sixty-year-old man in plain clothes standing on the platform and speaking contentedly.

Feng Shike, who accompanied Lin Tailai, said in surprise: "Why is Mr. Lin here?"

Then he introduced Lin Tailai: "The old man on the platform is Mr. Lin Jingyang, who plans to visit him later.

I didn't expect that Mr. Lin would come to the city today and come to the prefectural school."

As a person who has some persecution paranoia, Mr. Lin doesn't believe in coincidences. He sneered:

"Brother Feng is kind-hearted and doesn't speculate on others with malice. Is it really a coincidence?

I'm afraid that all the major families have already known the news of my entry into the city yesterday?

Feng Shike said a little embarrassedly: "Let's listen to what Mr. Lin said first. "

At this time, Lin Taigong was saying: "I think that the 200,000 gold that Songjiang Prefecture borrowed from the court should be used first to rebuild the seawall!

The southeast of the county is only seventy miles away from the sea. The sea tides have been fierce since ancient times, and the county is low-lying, so there is always the danger of seawater intrusion!

Now that the seawall is old, the top priority is to rebuild the seawall instead of dredging the old Wusong River!

We, the villagers, should petition the government to use our money on the seawall! "

After hearing this, Lin Daguan's heart immediately went "f*ck", and he had thoughts of murder.

He used his personal connections to defraud two hundred thousand taels of silver from the court!

This bad old man just wanted to misappropriate the money he had worked so hard to defraud with just a few words? I have never seen such a shameless person!

Feng Shike glanced at Lin Tailai, stepped forward helplessly and said: "Mr. Lin! The two hundred thousand gold lent by the state treasury is specifically used for the dredging of Wusong River project. How can it be changed without authorization?"

Taigong Lin replied plausibly: "These two hundred thousand gold will eventually be repaid by the local acres of Songjiang Prefecture, so how to use it depends on local public opinion!"

Brother Feng, you should also know that the disaster of seawater intrusion occurred this summer, and it was useless to float away people and livestock. Doesn't it explain the priorities? "

After two successful cases of opposing the increase in levy of military aid and opposing the change of Jinshanwei to Jinshan Prefecture, Lin Jingyang, a fellow village official, is still very prestigious. After saying this, he triggered a small wave of cheers.

??????55.??????

Feng Shike was not good at arguing quickly. When faced with strong arguments, he could not find the words to respond for a while.

Official Lin looked around and said disdainfully: "How dare you think you are right after hiring a few sitters?"

Feng Shike explained in a low voice: "It's not a shill. Lin Taigong once donated 600 acres of land to the government school, so he is naturally famous."

As Officer Lin spoke, he moved his hands in his sleeves a few times.

All the old brothers who have followed him for more than three years know that Lin Zuoguan is preparing the Qiankun spell in his sleeves, and the Iron Fist, which has not been seen in the world for a long time, is about to appear.

As a native of Songjiang Prefecture, Feng Shike was in a dilemma. Seeing Lin Tailai preparing for physical means, he hurriedly advised:

"Jiu Yuanjun, don't worry! You can ask Taishi Xu's family to come forward and help convince Taigong Lin!"

Grandpa Lin is already sixty years old, how can he withstand Lin's iron fist?

Lin Tailai chuckled and said, "If we have to rely on others to solve the problem, won't it make the people in Guibao feel that I, the Nine Yuan True Immortal, am too incompetent?"

After saying that, Lin Daguan separated from the crowd and strode onto the platform.

After reporting his name and origin, the crowd caused an uproar. After all, Songjiang Mansion is next to Suzhou Mansion, and Lin Daguan is also very famous in Songjiang Mansion.

Lin Daguan pretended to bow to Taigong Lin and said, "I heard everything my father-in-law said just now, but I am very curious about your motives, father-in-law.

You advocate misappropriating court funds to rebuild the seawall. Is it because your Lin family has a large amount of land near the sea? "

Even if it was true, he couldn't admit it. Taigong Lin replied without thinking: "No!"

Lin Daguan asked again: "Or do you want to take over the seawall project?"

Even if he thought about it, he couldn't admit it. Taigong Lin still replied: "No!"

Official Lin asked again: "Or do you want to raise a banner of opposition and seek benefits from it?"

Taigong Lin still refused to admit it: "No!"

Official Lin seemed to be angry. He grabbed Taigong Lin's collar with his hands and asked, "This is not the case, and that is not the case. Could it be that I am just enjoying my time at home?"

Taigong Lin struggled and said: "I do it out of a public heart! It's completely out of a public heart!"

Official Lin scolded loudly: "I have good intentions to discuss with you, but you have no sincerity at all! You even openly provoke me!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he stretched out his hand to strangle Taigong Lin's neck and lifted the old man up.

Taigong Lin was short of breath, his face was red from holding it in, and his legs were kicking wildly.

Upon seeing this, Taigong Lin's servants rushed over, but were blocked by Lin Tailai's servants.

He suddenly moved his hands, and everyone in the audience who was unprepared was stunned for a moment.

The legendary Lin Jiuyuan is indeed cruel, even the elderly will not be spared!

Feng Shike dutifully shouted: "Lin Taigong is a gentleman and a decent man. Lord Jiuyuan should think twice before he acts!"

Official Lin withdrew his fist and said hesitantly: "What Brother Feng said is reasonable, and you should think twice. For a decent country official like Taigong Lin, you still have to abide by the law."

Of course the local scholars in the audience wanted to rescue Taigong Lin from the clutches of the devil, so they shouted together: "Biji! Duiji! It's time to enforce the law!"

In fact, they didn't understand what Lin Jiuyuan meant by "telling the law", but no matter what, "telling the law" was better than letting Mr. Lin get beaten on the spot!

Lin Tailai turned around and asked the guardians: "What is the law about beating people? I can't remember it clearly!"

Protector Zuo Zhang Wen recited expressionlessly: "If one eye is damaged, the staff will last three years for a hundred years. If both eyes are damaged, the staff will run for three thousand years."

If you hurt someone with one finger, reduce the law stick by seventy. If you damage someone's tooth, you should ask for seven stones of rice."

At the beginning, the society snatched a "professional secret book" from a litigator, which contained a legal ballad.

So Lin Zuoguan forced the left and right guardians to recite this song, and also said that outstanding community members must know the law.

Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded. They heard that the guys around Lin Jiuyuan were from the society, but they didn't expect to be so familiar with the law.

Especially regarding the regulations on beating people, they understand it better than scholars like them.

Why do we need to recite these penalties? Could it be that Lin Jiuyuan was trying to warn himself?

Everyone looked at Lin Tailai again, only to see Jiuyuan True Immortal frowning, as if doing academic research, raising his fists and making gestures on Taigong Lin's body for a long time.

Finally, he muttered loudly: "The penalty for knocking out a tooth is seven stone meters. It seems that this is the most cost-effective."

Everyone in the audience: ""

They suddenly had a vague premonition of what was going to happen. Is this what you, Lin Jiuyuan, mean by "law enforcement"?

Taigong Lin's red face instantly turned pale! You, Lin Tailai, think twice about this result?

Force is not the way to solve the problem. In the game of huge interests, it is completely useless to beat someone!

I couldn't help but say with all my strength; "Lin Tailai! I advise you to take care of yourself."

But Lin Taigong's words ended before he finished speaking, because Lin Tailai hit him directly in the mouth with an iron fist.

Taigong Lin flew out with his mouth full of blood, and countless teeth also flew out.

Taigong Lin had better hold back and fight, otherwise Lin Taigong would not just have a problem with his mouth full of blood.

Many people in the audience still couldn't believe their eyes. You, Lin Jiuyuan, actually hit you?

After a moment of silence, the crowd immediately became angry! Lin Tailai's behavior has caused public outrage!

Feng Shike felt that the situation was about to get out of control, so he broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't wipe it off.

This is not your home court at all, Lin Jiuyuan. You dare to hit people openly like this. It's so stupid!

Lin Daguan, who was still on the platform, raised his hands and said loudly: "What's the use of being angry here? We must enforce the law!"

Someone shouted with righteous indignation: "What's the use of talking about the law? Can you, Lin Jiuyuan, be put in jail?"

Don't think that everyone doesn't know your background. When Lin Jiuyuan was known as "an average of five people per day", had you ever been in jail?

Official Lin responded: "You are right to question! I will go to the Yamen to surrender now and obey the Yamen's judgment! If you want to witness, go together!"

Everyone: ""

One by one, I couldn't understand what Lin Jiuyuan meant at all.

Lin Tailai greeted the guys around him, "Search carefully on the ground and find all the knocked-out teeth of Mr. Lin. This is an important piece of evidence!"

After a while, after collecting the evidence, Lin Tailai took the lead and got off the platform and walked outside the school.

Many people did not believe that Lin Tailai would really surrender, so they followed him behind.

However, Lin Tailai actually went to the Huating County government office, found a writing stall outside the gate of the county government office, and wrote a surrender letter in person.

Then he took the surrender form and swaggered into the Huating County government office.
