NOVEL NEXT Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 301
When Chu Ci received the news, he was explaining to Zhang Wenhai how to use the blackboard and chalk.
These things were transported in a horse-drawn carriage from the neighboring house yesterday, a total of 20 yuan for a foldable tin blackboard, and several boxes of chalks of various colors.Because it has been floating at sea for a long time, the chalk is a little damp.Now they are all disassembled and put on the mat to dry.
Chu Ci was naturally very happy. Not long after the Ministry of Industry got out the blackboard and chalk, he was forced to release it outside.Now with this, sending notifications can be more convenient.
At about the same time as these things arrived, there was also a letter from Kou Jing.The letter was placed in a big package, and it was delivered by the local postman himself.Chu Ci counted, and there were twelve letters in total.Kou Jing probably wrote him a letter every half a month, but for some unknown reason, the letter never arrived, but this time it finally arrived.
Chu Ci arranged the letters according to time, and then opened them one by one to read.He originally thought that Kou Jing would express his feelings in the letter, saying something like "I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns" or "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees", but the words in these letters were very plain, and it seemed It's not even as good as when they were pure brotherhood.
Chu Ci felt a little strange. Could it be that Kou Jing was so restrained because she was afraid that someone would open the letter and read it on the way, and then discover their feelings?Moreover, these letters always look a little awkward, feeling that the preamble is out of line, as if some content has been intercepted in the middle.Judging from Kou Jing's usual writing style, it seems inappropriate.But some ambiguities also show that this is indeed Kou Jing's habit of speaking, which is really contradictory.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he checked carefully, and found that the seal on the outside of the letter was intact, without any trace of being removed, and the handwriting was Kou Jing's own.
Chu Ci thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he summed up all this on Kou Jing being cautious.Still, it's good to be cautious.In the letter that Chu Ci sent him, he paid attention to his words. Even if others opened it and read it, they would only think that they were confidantes and friends, at most they should be closer than others.
After reading these letters, Chu Ci properly hid them in the dark compartment next to the bed, then went back to the desk to spread paper and ink, and wrote back letters one by one.
After finishing writing, he took out the envelopes, packed them up, sealed them with dripping wax, put them in the package, and asked someone to help him run an errand to the posthouse for post.
After Chu Ci watched the man go out, he turned around and saw Zhang Wenhai circling around a blackboard, knocking on it with his hand or fan from time to time, as if he really wanted to figure out the details of these black iron sheets that were coated with something. usefulness.
"Has the policy theory I asked you to write finished?" Chu Ci asked suddenly, which startled Zhang Wenhai.He patted his chest with lingering fear, and said, "Brother Chu, people are scary! Also, I have already written a mere policy theory." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Chu Ci.
He looks beautiful when he is proud, but Chu Ci prefers to see him in a mess when he is rushing to do homework.Chu Ci felt that his problem was mainly due to the lack of homework, so he immediately asked Zhang Wenhai to write down two more questions.
Zhang Wenhai's expression was as bright as five thunderclaps, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but he didn't dare to resist Chu Ci.Before leaving, he made a small request, that is, he hoped that Chu Ci could tell him the function of the iron plate in front of him.
Chu Ci graciously agreed, and he took out a piece of chalk from the mat next to him, and wrote a poem on the blackboard, and then outlined the content of the poem with stick figures.
The stick figures are a little different from others, the style of drawing is simple without losing its shape, Zhang Wenhai immediately fell into the trap, holding a piece of chalk and experimenting.Chu Ci stood aside and pointed Jiang Shan, teaching him the posture of holding the pen and the strength of writing.
At this time, someone outside the door suddenly came to communicate, saying that the magistrate's yamen sent a team over, calling for him to see him.
"Huh?" Chu Ci's voice rose slightly, as if he was a little puzzled, "Please come in."
Indeed, the Zhifu Yamen has nothing to do with him, if there is, then it is the nearest Jiang Dahai, but this matter is so involved, it is impossible for them to come here so blatantly.
"Lord Chu, under the orders of the prefect, I came here to inform you of something: Several scholars beat the Dengwen drum and jointly sued you, Master Chu. This happened in full view, even though the prefect was unwilling to do so. , I can only accept the complaint, and the court is scheduled to open tomorrow, at that time, please send someone to go to the court."
After listening to Chu Ci, he suddenly smiled. The magistrate was probably very happy when he heard the news, so why would he be so unwilling?He has also been an official for so long, and he has already memorized the laws of the Great Wei in his spare time, so he naturally knows that those with meritorious reputation are exempt from going to court.
But, he thinks he has a clear conscience, isn't he going to court?He still has to be No. 1 in the Great Wei Dynasty and go to court to defend himself!
……
On the second day, as soon as Chen Shi arrived, the prefect's yamen was already completely surrounded.There have been very few cases of people suing officials since ancient times. Of course, they couldn't miss this opportunity to watch.
As soon as the time came, the magistrate's yamen opened. A group of yamen servants held water and fire sticks and beat the floor rhythmically, chanting "Wei... Wu..."
Wearing a red official uniform, the magistrate walked out slowly from the side, his expression was serious and very dignified.He sat on the courtroom and slapped the gavel forcefully, and the audience immediately fell silent.
"Bring the plaintiff to court."
The order was passed down level by level, and after a while, Wang Lisong and several other masters were brought up.
Among them, Wang Lisong and the other two masters were well-known as scholars, and the special witnesses did not kneel, so they just bowed their hands for a long time, while the others knelt obediently.
"People under the hall, I have already read the pleadings you handed in yesterday. You said that the Zhangzhou government disregarded the holy will and acted according to one's heart, and closed the private school approved by the court in a few words, wantonly depriving the livelihood of the masters under the jurisdiction. , causing local children to have nowhere to go to school, is this true?"
Lu Zhifu read the complaint submitted by them several times yesterday, and he had to admit that they did have two brushes. Not only the words were accurate, but also resonated with people. people know a lot about certain things.
"Reporting to my lord, this matter is absolutely true. There is an official document recently released by the Department of Education as evidence. It is clearly written in black and white on red paper. I have copied a copy, and please read it." Wang Lisong took it out of his pocket. He took out a roll of paper, held it in both hands and handed it to the servant next to him, and he handed it over.
Prefect Lu unfolded the scroll, and it was exactly what Wang Lisong said.
"Since that's the case, then I will invite Mr. Chu to come over and ask why the official document was published, which caused complaints from below. If he really did something wrong, this officer will give the Governor a note to clarify the matter. . " Lu Zhifu looked selfless, as if he was thinking of them.
"Thank you, my lord!" Wang Lisong and the others quickly thanked.
"Has Tixue Division sent someone over?" Prefect Lu asked loudly.
"My lord, I haven't come yet."
Lu Zhifu was furious: "It's really unreasonable. Even if he doesn't have an official in his eyes, he shouldn't be lawless. How can he not come to this court if he doesn't want to?"
The common people outside the yamen also talked a lot, and their evaluation of Chu Ci immediately became very low in their hearts, and they also complained for their magistrate.
"Go again, if he insists on not sending anyone, then—"
"What do you want?" A voice sounded from behind, and the people at the door consciously retreated to the two sides, leaving a passage in the middle for the two to walk side by side.
Chu Ci walked in from the passage, casually cupped his hands towards the prefect Lu, and said, "The magistrate is too impatient, Chu was just delayed by an accident, and seeing that I came to the court in person, I knew that I was not It is the person who is lawless and despises the court, please don't worry too much, my lord."
The common people began to discuss again, thinking that this Master Chu was considered a responsible person, and he actually went to the court himself instead of sending someone to deal with it.
Lu Zhifu showed a hypocritical smile: "I thought Mr. Chu would not come. If there is something to delay, then that's all. It's fine if Mr. Chu came in person. After all, you asked someone to publish the official document. If you are willing to explain clearly in person Intention, that is the best."
Chu Ci also smiled: "I only know that someone has sued me, but I don't know the cause and effect. Now, from what your lord said, it seems that it is because of the official document a few days ago? How about this matter, please tell me."
These things were transported in a horse-drawn carriage from the neighboring house yesterday, a total of 20 yuan for a foldable tin blackboard, and several boxes of chalks of various colors.Because it has been floating at sea for a long time, the chalk is a little damp.Now they are all disassembled and put on the mat to dry.
