Chapter 197 The Advertised Selflessness

After the people upstairs heard the roar, they heard a heavy sound from the stairs soon after, and then a big man in long gown appeared at the top of the stairs.

Most of the gentlemen upstairs saw Lin Tailai for the first time, and suddenly felt that Lin Tailai could block the entire staircase by himself, so strong!

Lin Tailai scanned around with the help of the light, and found that everyone at the banquet did not know anyone except Gu Xiancheng and An Xifan.

Those who can have a banquet with Gu Xiancheng must be people from the Qingliu faction.

At this time, there was no Donglin Party in the political territory of Ming Dynasty, but there was Qingliu, which advertised its "integrity".

In a sense, the Qingliu faction can also be regarded as the predecessor of the Donglin Party, headed by the current Minister of Rites, Shen Li.

Regardless of historical facts, from a purely personal point of view, Lin Tailai's attitude towards most historical figures including Qingliu is actually "no kindness, no disgusting body, good and evil actions".

Except for individual characters who are extremely good or bad, Lin Tailai has no distinction between likes and dislikes.

I will not decide my likes and dislikes because of the praise and criticism in books and online in later generations.

In the eyes of the traveler, who can not have historical limitations?Who is free from bugs and problems?

So what finally determines Lin Tailai's attitude is the attitude and position of these historical figures towards Lin Tailai.

Only those who travel through represent the advanced direction, and those who are willing to draw closer to themselves are worthy tool people.

Lin Tailai suppressed his thoughts about Qingliu's forces, looked at An Xifan, and shouted: "I will show you face and let you go, the original intention is to let you go back and reflect on yourself!

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, you would come here to drink and have fun again, without any intention of introspection at all!
Regarding this new situation, I will add it to the registration and submit it to Hai Zhongcheng! "

An Xifan shot up angrily, you, Lin Tailai, are endless, right?

Gu Xiancheng stopped his apprentice An Xifan, and said, "I will explain to Hai Zhongcheng myself, you don't need to chatter here."

At this moment, someone downstairs suddenly shouted: "Your official! Something has happened, and all the scholars detained over there have escaped!"

Then he reported in detail: "You left two sergeants to guard over there, but the detainees saw that there were few guards, so they suddenly acted on their identities!
But the two sergeants didn't dare to fight back, and couldn't stop them, so they let all the soldiers run away! "

Lin Tailai patted the handrail of the stairs, angrily said: "It's all trash! You can't even guard a few people! Let me go and see!"

Then he turned around and went down the stairs, leaving Lanyue Building.

Gu Xiancheng was puzzled, what on earth did Lin Tailai do here?
Before he exerted his strength, Lin Tailai left so simply and neatly, it didn't seem like Lin Tailai's stalking style.

However, it is always a good thing that the detained scholars escaped, so as not to stay in Lin Tailai's hands as hostages.

Li Sancai smiled and said: "This Lin Tailai is really stupid, he only left two sergeants to guard him.

But any smarter student will definitely fight out when encountering such a situation! "

Anyone with social experience knows that if it is not in a special facility like a prison cell, how can two sergeants who dare not fight back after being beaten be able to stand up to five or six scholars?
While Gu Xiancheng was still thinking about Lin Tailai's words, he turned his head to look at An Xifan, and said kindly, "It's all right."

An Xifan saluted with a wink, "It's all thanks to the blessing of the teacher!"

Gu Xiancheng smiled kindly again: "But for the sake of the overall situation, I would like to lend you a hand, and I hope you have the righteousness to sacrifice your life for benevolence."

An Xifan: "."

Suddenly regretted looking for a teacher, maybe the encounter would be worse than being detained by Lin Tailai!

On the next day, Lin Tailai went north to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to report to Hai Rui the major achievements of the first phase of work.

When Lin Tailai was carrying a huge bamboo basket and was standing in the vestibule waiting for Hai Rui to ascend, three more people came in suddenly.

There were two people I met last night, Gu Xiancheng and his student An Xifan.

At this time, An Xifan looked sluggish, staggered, and followed behind his teacher Gu Xiancheng.

Moreover, An Xifan's hands were tied behind his back, and there were many ragged holes in his clothes, he looked like a criminal.

In Lin Tailai's eyes, he was secretly surprised, this Gu Xiancheng is really a ruthless person!This is obviously a temporary sacrifice of An Xifan, playing the trick of "pleading guilty"!

As for the third person who came in with Gu Xiancheng and An Xifan, he was an old man wearing a second-rank official uniform.

Lin Tailai was also very surprised by this, this old man was of the same level as Hai Rui, why did he condescend to come here to "see him"?
This is very inconsistent with the official etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said to be abnormal.

Just when Lin Tailai couldn't figure it out, Hai Rui was promoted.

At this time, all the people who came to visit Hai Rui were brought into the court together.

This is also Hai Rui's characteristic. During office hours, he only meets customers in the courtroom, and he does not give or receive privately.

Lin Tailai didn't know who this old man was until Hai Rui met the second-rank old man in court.

It turned out that this person was Bi Qiang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing, who was recommended by Hai Rui back then, so Bi Qiang was willing to curtsy in front of Hai Rui.

At the same time, Lin Tailai also guessed that, as one of the few officials who had "friendship" with Hai Rui, Bi Qiang was invited by Gu Xiancheng to help.

Hai Rui is a person who pays attention to etiquette. When he comes to court, he speaks according to the order of his status.

So Gu Xiancheng was able to speak before Lin Tailai, he pushed out An Xifan, and said to Hai Rui:

"My scoundrel, An Xifan, violated Da Zhongcheng's ban last night, and was seized by Lin Sheng on the spot.

Today I tied up the villains and came to plead guilty to Da Zhongcheng in person! "

Hai Rui asked Lin Tailai: "Is there such a thing?"

Lin Tailai replied sarcastically: "Not only An Xifan, but also several other people who were seized at the same time, most of them are scholars from Wuxi County!
But Mr. Gu only pushed An Xifan to plead guilty. "

Gu Xiancheng immediately explained: "The party was initiated by An Xifan, and all the prostitutes during the banquet were recruited by An Xifan.

The rest of the scholars are just unable to shirk because of their sympathy, so I, a villain, can bear all the blame and don't want to hurt others. "

The reason why Gu Xiancheng dared to say this is that you, Lin Tailai, can't even catch people, and most of the "human offenders" don't know who they are.

So it's not up to Gu Xiancheng to explain casually, just say what he says.

Old Shangshu Bi Qiang, who was over seventy years old, showed admiration, and said at this time:

"Although An Sheng is Gu Jingyang's beloved disciple, Gu Jingyang did not pervert the law because of his teachers and students, and resolutely made him the principal criminal to plead guilty, which is truly selfless!"

Hai Rui nodded slightly and said, "If that's the case, it deserves praise."

Lin Tailai suddenly realized that Gu Xiancheng's main purpose was to win Hai Rui's favor in this way.

Hai Rui definitely likes people who are selfless, and Gu Xiancheng wanted to match his preferences.

Seeing this, Mr. Lin knew that he could no longer be silent at this moment.

He made a quick calculation in his mind, and said to Bi Qiang, "Is the Heavenly Official going to speak to Mr. Gu?"

Bi Qiang replied seriously: "This old man is not talking to anyone, but only the facts he has seen."

Old man Bi is not hypocritical, he truly recognizes Gu Xiancheng's integrity, there are quite a few such people in the imperial court.

So Bi Qiang sincerely recommended Gu Xiancheng to Hai Rui. In his eyes, Hai Rui and Gu Xiancheng were officials with similar qualities.

Lin Tailai said to Hai Rui again: "The offenders seized yesterday, except for An Xifan, all resisted orders and escaped, so they should have been given a higher crime."

Gu Xiancheng pleaded: "The situation was unknown at the time, and fleeing was also a panic instinct.

Considering that all scholars are candidates, I hope that small mistakes will not affect the major events of the exam. "

Hai Rui was weighing in his mind how to deal with it properly.

But I heard Lin Tailai say abruptly: "If Mr. Gu insists that prostitution is a small mistake, then I will talk about the other mistakes of these escaped people."

Gu Xiancheng asked inexplicably, "Any other faults?"

I heard that there is a magical technique called "Mushouyou" in the world, did you, Lin Tailai, learn it?

Lin Tailai said quietly: "At that time, I sent two sergeants to stay at the scene to guard those soldiers.

However, he was worried that the soldiers would be too weak to deter the scholars, so he left Hai Zhongcheng's two-sided official badge at the gate of the scene to suppress the field.

Unexpectedly, those few scholars knocked Hai Zhongcheng's official badge to the ground when they fled, and then stepped on Hai Zhongcheng's official badge to escape from the courtyard! "

Gu Xiancheng: "."

This horse riding is outrageous!His mind was completely confused, and he could no longer express his feelings in words.

At this time, Lin Tailai brought in the extra-large bamboo basket placed outside the courtroom, and opened the lid.

Everyone looked into the bamboo basket, but saw a pile of broken wood chips inside, some of which still had golden strokes left on them.

Lin Tailai said sadly: "This is the two-sided official card that Hai Zhongcheng lent me, but last night, it was trampled and broken by those disobedient Wuxi scholars."

After a pause, Senior Official Lin said again in pain: "I am also guilty of not keeping Hai Zhongcheng's official card properly!"

Gu Xiancheng: "."

No wonder Lin Tailai seemed to be stupid last night, and only sent two people to guard all the detained scholars. It turned out that this was a trap!
It's even possible that he deliberately relaxed his guard like this to induce others to escape!

Still don't know how to speak!I can't explain anything more!
He couldn't tell Hai Rui that it was just a few official cards, it didn't matter, if he got trampled, he got trampled, it wasn't a big deal.

So at this moment, he has lost the right to protect and excuse him!

If you see Hai Rui's compassion for the people and think that Hai Rui is an easy-going and informal person, then you are very wrong.

On the contrary, Hai Rui is a person who pays great attention to etiquette, otherwise he wouldn't be making up jokes about Hai Rui starving his daughter to death.

In the officialdom, Hai Rui also attaches great importance to the order of respect and inferiority. If a subordinate visits Hai Rui in violation of the etiquette, he will be reprimanded and punished.

The official badge that represents the majesty of an official is trampled on, whether intentional or not, this is an act that should not be forgiven.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Hai Rui, but Hai Rui was also shocked.

There is absolutely no precedent for reference in decades of experience in politics. How should this kind of thing be handled?

Is Lin Tailai poisonous? Why do such unprecedented questions always come up?

At this moment, others temporarily lost their words, Lin Tailai took the opportunity to say again:

"I came to the hospital today to report the staged status of the rectification work.

Since I was appointed, most of the banned persons seized are Wuxi scholars, which is typical. "

"It's nonsense! Turning right and wrong!" Gu Xiancheng scolded unbearably.

What do you mean most of them are Wuxi scholars?You just deliberately targeted Wuxi scholars once last night!

Then you, Lin Tailai, dare to say that most of the criminals and arrests are Wuxi scholars?Could your sample be smaller?

Lin Tailai ignored Gu Xiancheng, and continued to report, "This situation has caused me to think deeply.

It is said that Mr. Gu asked for leave to go back to Wuxi to give lectures, and he has been teaching in Wuxi County for two years. It can be said that all scholars in Wuxi County have accepted Mr. Gu's preaching.

This is the end result?These Wuxi scholars violated the prohibition of sex with prostitutes collectively, and trampled on the official card of Dazhong Cheng. I don't know what Master Gu is talking about in his lectures?
As a recognized scholar leader in Wuxi County, who has given lectures to scholars in Wuxi County for two years, I believe that Mr. Gu should be responsible for the chaos of Wuxi scholars. "

Bi Shangshu next to him couldn't bear to listen anymore, and couldn't help but said again: "This is really unfair, how can Gu Jingyang be held responsible?

Can't Gu Jingyang be jointly and severally related just because they have all listened to Gu Jingyang's lectures?
Is it possible that if a person kills someone with a knife, should the blacksmith who made the knife be held accountable? "

Lin Tailai didn't take it seriously, he didn't even bother to refute, he just asked:
"Then according to what the heavenly official said, Mr. Gu has nothing to do with these Wuxi scholars?"

Even Old Shangshu Bi could sense that something was wrong, and quickly said: "You can't say that, it still has something to do with it."

Lin Tailai carried forward the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and did not argue with the 70-year-old heavenly official, but asked Gu Xiancheng himself:

"Then tell yourself, do you have any relationship with Wuxi scholars, or not?
You understand what I mean, don't say that it's a relationship just because you know each other. "

Gu Xiancheng once again found that he had lost the qualification to speak.

This question made him hesitant and entangled, because no matter how he answered it, he was wrong, and there seemed to be no correct answer.

If you say that you have a relationship with Wuxi scholars, then you will be held accountable!

If you say you have nothing to do with Wuxi scholars, then what face will you have to see your fellow countrymen again?How can you call yourself the leader of Wuxi Shilin?
Lin Tailai said to Gu Xiancheng again: "If you can't even think clearly about this issue, then what position do you have to intervene in law enforcement?
What other position is there to take the blame here?What position is there to explain for the rest of the scholars?

Because this matter has nothing to do with you, you have no position to speak out for this matter! "

In the end, Lin Tailai said very bitterly: "As for why I can't answer that question, it's because of too many selfish thoughts.

And truly selfless people will not be entangled in this issue. "

Rather than saying that Lin Tailai spoke to Gu Xiancheng, it would be better to say that he spoke to Hai Rui.

Hai Qingtian, don't be fooled, the flaunted Qingliu with the surname Gu is not the same as you, Hai Qingtian!
