It was cloudy and the autumn wind was bleak. After seeing Liu Xigua come out from the courtyard of the main house of Ba Dao Camp, someone looked for him.
There were three people from the academy. Since Ning Yi hadn't gone to class today, Feng Yongli led them here. The three of them are all well-built, and they seem to be trained family members. The first person is around forty years old. His eyes are sharp and arrogant, and he has a condescending aura. Both of them are young warriors in their twenties, and their eyes are a little indifferent.
"Yushitai, are you Ning Liheng?"
He took out his official badge and introduced himself to the man in the lead. After looking at Ning Yi a few times, he added, "Did you come down here?"
Fang La established the Yongle Dynasty, following the system of the Wu Dynasty, and the role of the censor's desk was to monitor internal officials. But a little while ago, the so-called Yushitai was only an empty yamen with no members in the name. In the past few days, Li Tianrun returned to clear the previous Zhaoan faction, and only used the name of Yushitai on the surface. In the past few days, the outside world's middle and lower-level officials have been talking about the imperial envoy to the extent that their color has changed, because once such people are found, the next 90% of the process is to be sent to prison, tortured and executed, although there is a seemingly official name. However, the actual interrogation process is simply free testimony, which is unreasonable.
The three of them are now looking for it, and it is Li Tianyou's handwriting. Ning Yi had already prepared for this, but he thought that the other party would suddenly make a move outside the Ba Dao Camp. This time, there were some signs of first salute and then soldiers, which made people a little incomprehensible.
But after a while, he realized that things might be a little different than he had imagined.
"... You originally came here. I think you have some knowledge in Yonglechao. I want you to teach in Wenlie Academy. You should think of the kindness of the country. But you don't teach well in the academy. People's hearts. Proclaiming the lackeys of the court like Qian Xiwen as a person of great virtue. Makes many students in the academy to form a party for selfishness, and what kind of group is formed, and now the impact is extremely bad. You know the crime!"
I found a room nearby, and the man in the lead was talking about it with a stern voice. The other two threatened with various expressions and actions, as if they were already interrogated at this time. But what kind of person Ning Yi is, he has a lot of intentions in people's minds. Many times, he can see at a glance that they are doing this here at this time, but they are obviously just intimidating with false words and do not intend to arrest people. At the moment, such a warning may scare some unrepentant followers. How can it be useful to him, Li Tianyou must also know this. What was he thinking about.
He was puzzled in his heart, and on the surface he didn't show too much fear, so he spoke for a while. The other party seemed to think that he was unresponsive and arrogant. One of the young men tried to beat someone, but was stopped by the middle-aged man. The other party is probably also afraid that this is the site of the Ba Dao Camp. He didn't want to make things worse, but he only added a warning around the private party formation of the students he taught. The implication seemed to be to let him take the initiative to disband the two teams of students.
"... This matter has already been known by some people above, and the impact is extremely bad. The adults above are generous, they only say that they look at it and don't care about you. It's like people like you who came down and are like pigs and dogs. I could have beaten them. If you stop for a while, no one will talk to you, but you are Mr. Xuetang after all, so I will save you some face. If you come back after a while, it will definitely take you, so you can do it yourself."
After the man said this, the two who followed scolded and left. Ning Yi originally planned to create an atmosphere where he was forced into a corner at the Ba Dao Camp, but he didn't care about the other party's domineering attitude, but he was puzzled. It was the young man asking why the middle-aged man didn't beat him.
"... This kind of scholar is always a bit arrogant. Even if he is afraid in his heart, he likes to support it on the surface... "
"...Come on, it's all down, what's the arrogance..."
"Do you know how he came down? You warned him like this, he must have fear in his heart, and he will be afraid in the future... I will teach you to look at people. He just had that look, strange but fearless, and clearly there is some backstage. Yes. We're not afraid of this, but we started to scramble and searched for people on both sides. Today is over again. I have something to do tonight, and I don't want to make extra troubles... I'll ask again in a few days. But he…”
After hearing this, Ning Yi turned back and saw Zhuo Xiaofeng was coming out of the yard where he had just been warned, panting looking for him.
"Mr. Ning, they, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"what happened?"
"Bao Tianshi... Bao Tianshi's side made a move. They arrested Chen Teng's parents and family members at noon today, saying that they colluded with the court. But all those who did it were people who were related to Bao Tianshi. I heard that there was Yu Yu. When Shitai's people came to look for you, they were worried that they would embarrass you..."
"I'm fine." Ning Yi frowned, "Why did the news leak so quickly? You guys didn't have a good relationship with me in the past. They just came to warn me, but it's fine. But how is Chen Teng now? And you guys, will you? won't be affected?"
He had heard before that Bao Daoyi received his subordinates coldly, and Qian Duo had many brothers, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so powerful, and it took only half a day to find out the target. Zhuo Xiaofeng was also obviously frightened, but still shook his head.
"Chen Teng is fine, they shouldn't be able to find the place that Brother Chen Fan arranged for a while. I went home at noon today and asked daddy. Daddy said if we would be implicated in a while, and Bao Tianshi wouldn't be so angry. , at most, it will only target the Chen family to kill the chickens and warn the monkeys..." After speaking, he hesitated, "Mr. Ning, you say... do you say so?"
"Well, it's really too much to move a piece. Don't continue to investigate this matter, it shouldn't be a big problem... Oh, it is estimated that the children who disclosed the news are still your children, and it is estimated that there are more or less bags in your family. Dao Yi has something to do with it."
Zhuo Xiaofeng nodded: "My father said the same thing... Mr. Ning, you're fine. I'll go back first and discuss with them... discuss with them about the future."
After the boy finished speaking, he returned to the academy. Ning Yi frowned and thought about it again. Bao Daoyi was really ruthless. Once provoked, he would kill the whole family, and even the teacher of the other school would have to warn him. However, Zhuo Xiaofeng's father was quite calm. After all, the families of the children in the school are all middle-level officials of the Yongle Dynasty. Knowing that Bao Daoyi should not expand the matter further, he can still let the children return to the school to appease the situation.
Think so. Liu Tiannan came over and inquired about the matter that he had just been made difficult for. He waved his hand only after he understood the situation: "The relationship between the Censors. I can't touch you. If you come to trouble again, don't be wordy with them, just say hello to a few people. , just beat it and throw it out. I ran here to talk, Renshan was bullied... Well, I still have some things to do, let's go first."
Ning Yi was vague, and Liu Tiannan thought it was someone from Li Tianrun who came to provoke him. For a while, I deeply hated that I didn't intercept people. To be honest, as the general manager of the Ba Dao Camp, Liu Tiannan's style is basically a stable line on weekdays. But the reason why Ba Dao Camp started with Qijia. The purpose was to show his strength before Li Tianrun came back, and even Liu Xigua, the owner of the village, was injured. If this time, people will come up to provoke them. With the usual hard-line style of the Ba Dao Camp, it is really necessary to draw the sword and cut back, even if the opponent is Li Tianrun, otherwise how can we stand on the upper level of Yongle.
It was already afternoon. After Liu Tiannan left, Ning Yi returned to the small courtyard. When it was almost evening, when Yang Zhiwu and Chen Xiyu came to knock on the door, Ning Yi guessed that things might have deteriorated further, and sure enough, the two children were talking about the actions of the "righteous club".
"... I just saw Zhuo Xiaofeng and the others gathered together and went to the east gate. I heard that there was a big incident. Mr. Ning, they made a big mess, can you come and see with us... "
Yang Zhiwu and Chen Xilong didn't know that Ning Yi was connected with Zhuo Xiaofeng, but they probably had a premonition that the situation was serious and knew that even if they joined the Yongle Youth League, they might be powerless, so they came to Ning Yi to give some advice. idea. Ning Yi nodded: "Is it a matter of Chen Teng's family?"
"No... I seem to have heard that it was Chen Teng himself..."
"Um?"
"I also heard that Brother Chen Fan also went..."
Due to these days of contact, Chen Fan, who has a flamboyant style, is still quite popular among these children, but if he really wants to deal with things, everyone probably believes more in Ning Yi's operations. After leaving the courtyard, there were already seven or eight backbones of the "Youth League" waiting here. Everyone went all the way to the east gate, and some people came to report on the way. It turned out that Chen Teng was seriously injured. After Chen Fan rescued the person, he arranged for a doctor he knew to treat the injury. He didn't tell anyone the location, but in the afternoon, Bao Daoyi's people found the doctor. What exactly happened, no one knows, but the result is... The doctor and the young man named Chen Teng are now dead.
All the way to the market near the east gate, a section of it is now full of chilling atmosphere, the door of the medical hall is wide open, and there are several corpses inside, all covered by white cloth. According to Ning Yi's understanding, when Bao Daoyi's people found Chen Teng, I'm afraid it wasn't a direct result. It should be scolding, beating, and slowly beating the seriously injured teenager to death.
More than a dozen teenagers were standing on the street at this time, their eyes were red, and some were talking through gritted teeth. A team of black ling guards cut off the pedestrians on both sides, An Xifu and Chen Fan stood at the entrance of the hospital, but at this time, the two seemed to have had a fight. An Xifu pulled out the steel knife and pointed at Chen Fan, who sneered and tapped his chest.
I have known each other for a while. Although there is not as much contact with An Xifu as Chen Fan, Ning Yi probably knows that An Xifu is not known for martial arts, and his skills are probably similar to his own. If he really did it, under Chen Fan's hands, he probably wouldn't be able to make many moves.
When Ning Yi and the others came over, An Xifu looked over. Chen Fan had probably calmed down a little by this time. He looked at the red-eyed teenagers, then Ning Yi, and finally spread his hands and turned to retreat...
********************
Life and backbone, what is more important, this is a difficult proposition. Ning Yi has never been an extremist, and extremism cannot solve any problems. He always believes that people must have ideals and persistence, but they should not lose their lives for persistence. Even so, they still have ideals and persistence. What is the difference between humans and insects
A mature man can live humbly for his ideal, and an immature man is willing to die heroically for his ideal. There is a saying that says so. Ning Yi is a pragmatic person. If he sets a goal, he will do anything to accomplish it. Even if there is a setback, it is no big deal. Of course, if the ideal of this person is not to bend down all his life, or if he is like Qian Xiwen as a Confucian spiritual model, he will be seen by others. That's another story. Life is a struggle all the way. Bends, setbacks, twists are nothing, as long as you have a breath, you can always squeeze forward.
Of course, there is no way to talk to those kids about these things. Nor can they understand. Ning Yi probably knew when he saw the red eyes of those children. After all, they were young and would not understand the meaning of the situation being stronger than people. And in this era, the hands of their parents were also stained red with blood, their fists were hard, they had backbone, and they had everything. Kneeling is the coward.
After all, Bao Daoyi was pushing too hard. When Zhuo Xiaofeng wanted to stay out of the matter because of the Chen family, these children actually chose to retreat, but they were slapped in the face, and they might not be able to retreat. certainly. On Bao Daoyi's side, I'm afraid they didn't take these children as one thing, maybe it was him. to children. Naturally, you have to slap one by one until you are obedient.
Something could happen. An accident is also good for Ning Yi, but for the matter in front of him. Ning Yi didn't intend to intervene in the guidance, nor did he intend to calm them down, nor did he intend to actually incite something. He knew that the Taoist temple where Bao Daoyi was now was called Bailu Temple, and the guards there were stern and imposing. That night, he dreamed of a group of teenagers killing the Taoist temple with knives.
The next day, Yang Zhiwu and a group of teenagers from the "Youth League" came to look for him.
"...the Zhengqi Club is ready to start, we... plan to help them..." the boy said.
"What are you going to do, if you kill Bailu Guan's sword and Bao Daoyi, I will applaud you for the master."
"Uh... We figured it out, there is a chance, we can do it this afternoon... After the accident at Gu Tongguan, Bao Daoyi should think that the place can't be used, and he wants to transfer those women. We inquired about the team this afternoon. Will go through Pyeongchang Street…”
Ning Yi looked serious and nodded: "Continue."
"It's a busy city over there. We plan to find a way to block the road. As long as we smash one of them and let people see the woman in the carriage, we will make trouble. So many women are on the stage, and they can't justify it. Liang Zi has already It's settled, we can't do Bao Daoyi, but the situation is big, and those women are finally rescued. Mr. used to say that there should be rules in doing things, and we should not be reckless. After thinking about it, I am afraid this is the only way to do something something happened."
Ning Yi looked at him for a long time, then laughed, walked to the window and nodded, after a long while, he said, "If you add up to both of you, there will always be forty or fifty people, it's all related to the family, and it actually works well. , don't be afraid of Bao Daoyi's revenge. I didn't want to talk about this before, because you may not be able to do it. Let me tell you now, after this incident, no matter whether the adults in your family beat or scold you, you children If you can't retreat, you will be killed and hugged into a ball. If you don't retreat, the adults in your family will not be able to retreat no matter what. As long as you go out and force them to hug together, Bao Daoyi can't do anything to anyone. Since you are not reckless, this matter After that, I will help you."
"Thank you, sir!" Hearing this, Yang Zhiwu gave him a happy salute. They had been dealing with Ning Yi for so long, and naturally they had to understand the past of this teacher. In the past, those things were just passed on by word of mouth, and most of them thought that The teacher is great. But from the beginning to the end, the Youth League thing was done by themselves, and Ning Yi did not participate. Now, in this matter, Ning Yi's attitude has been ambiguous, and it was not clear until this time, and suddenly people felt that they really had the backbone. After a while, he asked excitedly: "Then... Sir, do you think we can do this?"
"If the information is accurate..." Ning Yi smiled and nodded, "It should be possible."
He said so, when Yang Zhiwu left, Ning Yi stood in front of the window and frowned, whether it was a success or failure, things could not be easy. Originally, he only wanted to make a fuss about the pressure from Li Tianyou's side, but if he really intervenes in Daoyi's affairs after this incident, the situation will probably be more complicated and uncontrollable.
In the afternoon, nearly 30 people from the "Yongle Youth League" came, some of them were students in the class, and some were young people in their twenties, including Chen Xiling's cousin and the "Youth League". "The market ranger I met while doing good deeds didn't care about Bao Daoyi's power. Regarding this matter, Yang Zhiwu originally discussed with Zhuo Xiaofeng and others to do it together, but Zhuo Xiaofeng refused. After all, it was his own brother who died there. He was so angry that he had already paid for the ambush at noon. After gathering here, go to Pyeongchang Street. Before leaving, Ning Yi gave each person two packs of quicklime powder, and by the way, gave each of a group of children a small wooden bucket.
"… Lime is used for self-defense. Make a small bucket of water and put it next to it... I don't agree to use this thing unless the situation is urgent. The feud is too deep, but your physical strength is not good. If there is a conflict, sprinkle lime, and if it doesn't work, just Splash some water…”
After such an exhortation, Ning Yi put on a little makeup, and the group went to the direction of Pingchang Street. They broke up when they got there. A group of children from the Youth League went to the top of the teahouse at the corner of the road, and the children of the "Righteousness Club" were already on the road. Sit down in the restaurant opposite. Seeing the other party coming, he was somewhat moved, but he didn't say hello. Ning Yi went to the street a little further away. Pushing a trolley while selling rapeseed oil and watching the movement around.
It's about time to find out. A boy who was stalking in front came back on a horse, indicating that the message was correct. Ning Yi looked at the intersection from a distance, and before he knew it, Chen Fan sat down beside him. When the carriage team appeared, he tilted his head and smiled at Ning Yi.
"They got the information wrong."
"Huh?" Ning Yi was slightly stunned.
"Those women weren't transported from here. Last night, after the children got the news, I went to check, and Bao Daoyi set up a set for them... But maybe they were not good at keeping secrets, so they were used in turn."
Ning Yi glanced at him: "Why did you say it at this time?"
"I thought about it last night, and warning them in the past doesn't mean anything to their future. If the only reason they don't suffer is that someone is protecting them, I'm afraid they'll get used to it. But if things fail, they get caught and they're justified. If the family is suppressed again, I am afraid that nothing can be done in the future. I thought about it all night, and there is only one thing left to do... "
Ning Yi closed his eyes: "sonofbitch..."
His voice was light, and Chen Fan couldn't understand the meaning of what he said. At this time, there was a bit of excitement in his smile.
"I used to be like them, not afraid of the sky and not afraid of the earth. Many people I know are like this. They are not afraid of the sky and the earth, but later, they were gradually scared by the Taoism of this world. In fact, it's okay to be afraid, but later They dare not do anything. After they dare not do it, they come up with various reasons to convince themselves, and then talk to others, as if their daring is a great honor, scolding those who dare to do it I'm a fool. In fact, I'm slowly getting scared. I don't know what to do. I always feel that in this world, nothing can be done, because everyone is afraid."
He paused: "These children you teach have a lot of ideas in their hearts. It doesn't matter if they fail, they can learn how to do things, but I can't let them be afraid from the beginning. I have to show them some adults. Don't be afraid, some things, as long as they remember when they grow up, are not as difficult as others say."
The carriage approached, Chen Fan stood up, and then tilted his head, wondering: "Why are you pushing a carriage, lend me if it's useless?"
Ning Yi glanced at him: "This is rapeseed oil. I asked the students to prepare lime. After someone has been spilled, they can come here to wash their eyes." After a while, he added, "...It doesn't hurt."
"Then there is still life?" Chen Fan was stunned for a while, "You are so sinister."
After saying this, Chen Fan turned his head, the autumn street scene was bleak and gloomy, and there were not too many people in the prosperous street market in the past. He took a deep breath, and the bones rattled softly in the air.
On the street corner over there, a group of teenagers from the "righteous society" had already started to stand up subconsciously. Then they saw a figure on the street shouting violently and rushing out there.
There were seven carriages coming, each of them was pulled by two horses, and the speed was not slow. The figure was like a swift arrow in this desolate autumn scene, but it turned the whole atmosphere into a string that was constantly tightened in an instant. In a blink of an eye, the figure rushed towards the second carriage, and the punch that charged to the top slammed heavily. on the horse's head.
The blood burst and the horse neighed. With this punch, almost the entire body of the galloping horse left the ground and rammed towards the other horse next to it. The galloping horse pulled the carriage, and the entire body suddenly started Tilt, the wheel left the ground, and suddenly rolled over to the side.
With a loud bang, the body of the carriage fell to the ground, and it was still advancing forward with huge inertia. The sewage and garbage on the street were stirred up for a while. In front of the carriage, the figure was pushing with both hands. The string of the car that stood up was pushed by the car body to slide backwards, but finally the sliding momentum stopped. A carriage in the back swerved hastily and almost hit a big tree on the side of the road. I saw the figure pushing the strings of the car and began to exert force.
At this time, one of the carriages had been broken, and the galloping horse that had fallen to the ground had also taken off the reins. The overturned carriage was pushed by the man and began to slide to the side and rear, and the momentum was getting faster and faster. With the loud bang, the man shouted loudly: "The grievances of the rivers and lakes, if you don't want to die, get out of the way—" The vendors from several stalls on the road ran away.
The carriage knocked over a stall that originally sold fried snacks. A pot of boiling oil was knocked to the ground, and the firewood flew. The carriage ran over from above and hit the wall on the other side of the road. Down, the next moment, the flames rose up in a bang.
The carriage of the carriage was large, and at this time, seven or eight people crawled out of it screaming. The figure grabbed half of the hull, kicked the carriage hard, grabbed the giant tree as a weapon, and blew the head of the first person to climb out. In the fifth carriage in the distance, someone ripped apart the brocade curtain, and a figure stood out from there: "Chen Fan! What are you doing!" It was Bao Daoyi.
On the third carriage, the coachman waved a long whip and swiped towards Chen Fan. Chen Fan didn't move. He reached out and grabbed it and pulled it hard. Rolling gourd. But on the carriages, people from all corners of the world with different looks and weapons have come out. Seven carriages blocked the front and back of the long street, and there was a sound of panic. Chen Fan took the carriage to the go ahead.
"Bao Daoyi, you are going to die today!"
