Chapter 163: Chongwen Temple Searches Bookstore

A large number of civil and military supervisors from Chongwen Temple rushed in and listed them around the book shop.

Because Chongwen Temple includes both literati and articles responsible for compiling and inspecting books and articles, as well as warriors responsible for law enforcement.

Therefore, although Zhu Youxiao asked these people to be called supervisors.

However, within Chongwen Temple, these supervisors are usually called civil supervisors and military supervisors because of their different responsibilities.

After Fang Shihong's order came to a large number of civil and military supervisors into the bookstore, Chu Yigu, the shopkeeper, also hurriedly walked downstairs because he saw so many officials rushing in.

Chu Yigu was not afraid of so many officials, and even asked loudly: "Where are you officials? You dare to come here to play wildly, but whose bookshop belongs to? This is the property of our Master Yan Keji. Are you brave enough to be brave?"

"Ji Feizhong, the Yan Yuchen Censor?"

Fang Shihong asked with a smile.

Chu Yigu didn't expect that the person sitting in a wheelchair in front of him would dare to call his master's name directly, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Do you know Chongwen Temple? I, Chongwen Temple, have the right to ask about anything that has something to do with the text. So it is not why I dare to act here, but how dare you not obey the king's law in my Chongwen Temple."

Fang Shihong said, and then said, "In addition, I should ask you the sentence "I have eaten the courage of the bear heart and the leopard?"

As he said that, Fang Shihong smashed the walnut in his hand towards Chu Yigu and shouted sternly: "I actually rob me of my official! Do you want me to kill you?"

Then, Fang Shihong waved his hand: "Check it out! Post a seal! This book shop will be renamed Chongwen Bookstore, and write a memorial to this official, and I will participate in this Ji Feizhong! The impeachment charge is to open a book shop to sell banned books privately!"

"yes!"

The civil and military supervisor of Chongwen Temple responded and immediately began to search.

For books that do not involve the court affairs, all the Chongwen Temple seals will be re-stamped with the Chongwen Temple's seals. Instead, all the books that do not involve the court affairs will be concentrated and taken away by the military governor to destroy them.

Therefore, in the entire book shop, the literary supervisor was frantically stamping the books, or throwing the books to the military supervisor who was responsible for destroying the banned books.

Chu Yigu, the shopkeeper of the book shop, was just hit by the walnuts in Fang Shihong's hand, and then he became quite anxious because he saw that the books in his book shop were being searched. He hurriedly said to Fang Shihong: "This official! What are you doing? How do you tell me to explain to our boss!"

Fang Shihong glanced at him coldly and said, "Just tell him that it was found by Chongwen Temple."

"What are you doing? He is so domineering in broad daylight. Who gave you the power to search a bookstore so casually! Do you know that this is Mr. Ji's property!"

At this time, several scholars who were buying books in the book shop came over, and one of them, named Ying Daoheng, yelled at Fang Shihong and others directly.

"The power of our search shop is granted by the imperial power! Do you still want to stop the imperial power?!"

Fang Shihong said and asked: "This bookstore sells banned books, and there are even some illegal books that slander the king and the father and the court officials. You scholars wearing square scarves turn a blind eye to this. Do you still have a king and the father and the court in your eyes? If you still have a king and the father, or the court, you will report to the name. I will eliminate you who are not loyal to you one by one!"

"We, we don't know there are banned books."

Ying Daoheng was busy and lost confidence. When he heard Fang Shihong want to eliminate his fame, he quickly explained it stammeringly, and then ran out of the book shop like a flying.

The other scholars also ran out.

Chu Yigu originally wanted to rely on these scholars to stop Fang Shihong and others, but now, when he saw that these scholars had all run away, he couldn't help but shout: "My husbands! Don't leave!"

At this time.

Fang Shihong glanced at Chu Yigu and shouted, "Take it away!"

"yes!"

So, the military governors from the two Jinyiwei immediately detained Chu Yigu.

Seeing this, Chu Yigu was completely panicked and hurriedly shouted: "Stop your life, this official! Xiaomin is just a shopkeeper!"

Fang Shihong was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Yigu, so he directly took the people from Chongwen Temple to continue to investigate other bookstores.

Of course, Fang Shihong could not have looked up all the book shops in Yangzhou.

He just randomly checked several large book shops, and then came to Nanjing with the operators of these book shops.

Even those operators who were considered court officials were forced to arrest by Fang Shihong.

Because Fang Shihong came to Nanzhili to inspect the civil affairs, which was also an inspection by the emperor, and was equivalent to an imperial envoy, he could naturally arrest these local officials suspected of participating in selling books and slandering the king and father, and then report them to them.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also issued another order to add 2,000 supervisors to Chongwen Temple and let Jinyiwei serve as the role in order to increase Chongwen Temple's law enforcement strength.

Although there are not many quotas for the two thousand supervisors, it is more than enough to deal with officials and gentry who are also just a few tyrants guarding the hospital.

What's more, Fang Shihong represents the emperor and the court.

Therefore, the local officials and soldiers of the canal transport, salt dynasty in the southern Zhili area and the guards guarded in various places would not rebel the imperial court for a few officials and gentry who opened bookshops.

While Fang Shihong was investigating the banned book shop, Feng Quan also led his troops to surround the Confucius Temple in Suzhou.

"According to the imperial court's order, there are people here who are planning to ill-behave and surrounded all the people here!"

Feng Quan shouted as soon as he arrived at the Confucius Temple.

So, a large number of officers and soldiers from the Governor's Battalion surrounded the Confucius Temple with spears and firearms.

"Chongtian Qidao Yingrui Gongchun Xian Wen Jing Wu Yuan Renyi Xiaozhen Emperor is in the upper house. His ministers Qian Qianyi and other Jiangnan subjects cried and worshiped at the Confucius Temple today, thinking that Xu Yuanqing, Dong Zuhe, Gu Yongcheng and other righteous men were shouting for justice! Today, treacherous ministers are in power, cruel gentry, and levying bribes. It is truly said that the people are living in poverty and are polite and are ruined! And these treacherous slanders also deceive the emperor and block the ministers' way of making suggestions. Therefore, the ministers and others have to ask you to seek justice!"

Qian Qianyi was crying at the direction of the tomb of Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo...

"Last Emperor!"

Ye Maocai and Jiangnan scholars were also crying.

Almost all the scholars were crying inside and outside the Confucius Temple.

It was not until Feng Quan and his officers and soldiers appeared that the scholars outside stopped crying.

The scholar Zhang Pu hurried into the temple and hurried to Qian Qianyi and others: "Mr. Muzhai, there are many officers and soldiers outside!"

After hearing this, Qian Qianyi stopped crying and looked at Zhang Pu.

Ye Maocai said first: "What's going on? We cry and worship the righteous men, shout for justice to the late emperor, what's wrong with the government!"

"The students didn't know either, but there were indeed many officers and soldiers outside."

As Zhang Pu said that, he looked at Qian Qianyi, the leader of Jiangnan literati: "Mr. Qian, should students directly summon a few classmates from the literary club to beat these officers and soldiers out! We are scholars after all, how could they surround us for no reason! What's more, they are surrounded by the land of saints!"

"Of course, you should fight it out! It's really outrageous. This is the Confucius Temple, the land of sages. How could Qiu Bawubian come here? It's simply a defilement of the land of sages!"

Ye Maocai said excitedly.

"Qian suddenly had a headache and was so painful that he had to go home to rest! Qian took his leave first, let's go away."

As Qian Qianyi said that, he threw down the incense in his hand, and then hurriedly held his forehead and walked towards the backyard.

"Mr. Muzhai, are you?"

Ye Maocai asked in confusion, and the others looked at each other.

But as soon as Qian Qianyi arrived at the backyard, he was about to leave through the back door. When the soldiers of the Biao battalion, who had already surrounded the Confucius Temple and were holding the back door, saw him and rushed to stop him with a spear: "What are you doing! Don't leave here!"

Qian Qianyi hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty is just an ordinary scholar. Now you are having a headache. You want to find a doctor and ask yourselves to leave."

"Don't let him go!"
