December 20.

Liu Zongzhou finally arrived at Zhongxing Academy.

Liu Zongzhou came to visit Sun Chengzong, Lu Shanji, Huang Daozhou and others, but the real purpose was to see Su Tiancheng. There were many things he needed to debate with Su Tiancheng, or even change Su Tiancheng's views, or correct Su Tiancheng's mistakes, especially some theoretical understandings.

He and Sun Chengzong and others were both officials in the same dynasty, and Sun Chengzong was his superior, so the atmosphere at the Zhongxing Academy was very good, and no one has talked about the differences in academic understanding yet.

After receiving the notice, Su Tiancheng quickly rushed to Zhongxing Academy.

Also who went to the school with him was Qu Qingze.

Su Tiancheng did not go to Jingsi Hall immediately, but instead found Liu Jingting.

He told Liu Jingting that today is the time to talk about books, and the place is in Jingsi Hall. The audience is a group of people currently in Jingsi Hall, and there is no one else.

Liu Jingting had already made preparations and agreed.

During the preparation process, Liu Jingting still informed Su Tiancheng about the general content of his storytelling, so Su Tiancheng was also fully prepared. He needed to use these facts to debate with Liu Zongzhou.

In history, there is a poem about Liu Jingting's ability to tell the story: a sudden sound shook the sky, and thousands of pearls swayed in a row, as if they were broken and suddenly continued to be ethereal, and the song turned into a silence. The wind and rain suddenly listened to the wind and rain under the eaves, and the ghosts and gods stood in front of me, and the waves were shaking back in the vast sea. The forests and soldiers gathered in Kunyang. The guests were surprised to hear that there was no owner, and they did not say anything about the exclamation.

This poem fully demonstrates Liu Jingting’s ability to tell books is unparalleled in the world.

This is also because when Liu Jingting was talking, he integrated all his feelings into it. With real feelings, what he said was particularly touching.

Liu Zongzhou is already fifty-five years old and is completely Su Tiancheng's elder.

Su Tiancheng had just entered Jingsi Hall. Sun Chengzong stood up and introduced Su Tiancheng.

"Mr. Su, this is Mr. Liu."

Liu Zongzhou has a thin face and a goatee.

Su Tiancheng quickly bowed his head and bowed.

"Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, has met Lord Liu."

"You are polite, Lord Su, I am a rural man in Xia Nai, and I can't afford to be such a generous gift from Lord Su."

Liu Zong said, "While bowing and returning the favor."

Sun Chengzong, who was on the other hand, was thinking about saying something, but when he saw this situation, he didn't speak. As for Lu Shanji and Huang Daozhou, he didn't say anything. But his face was not very good.

During the chatting before, although Liu Zongzhou did not mention the academic issues, he never mentioned the purpose of the Zhongxing Academy. As a great scholar, this attitude can already explain the problem. As for the Zhongxing Academy, it should be something that everyone can talk freely together or even argue.

Su Tiancheng smiled. It would be normal for such a situation to happen. If Liu Zongzhou smiled and showed off a carefree air, as if he wanted to teach his younger generation a lesson, he would not deserve to be called a great scholar.

"Mr. Liu has come to Zhongxing Academy. It's a rare opportunity. I have prepared some gifts."

Everyone was a little surprised that Zhongxing Academy does not give gifts. No matter what the other party is, is Su Tiancheng going to break this rule?

"This is Liu Fengchun, whose courtesy name is Jingting, and is a member of Zhongxing Academy. When I heard that the adults came to Zhongxing Academy, I admire him very much. I plan to say a book and ask him to appreciate it. However, there is something I want to say before. The book that Brother Liu talked about may involve the suffering of some people. This is all the requests. If there is any taboo, all responsibilities will be borne by the next step."

Liu Jingting was caught off guard. Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng publicly assumed responsibility on such an occasion. This also means that even if he scolded the court officials, Su Tiancheng took the responsibility directly.

For a moment, he hesitated a little, not knowing whether he should say it. If he really causes trouble for Su Tiancheng, he would be embarrassed. He is his great benefactor.

"Brother Liu, don't have any taboos. Even if you say that, the people in Jingsi Hall are all the people who have served as officials in the court. Some things are known to you. I have said a long time ago that guarding the people is more important than guarding the river. If the people are not allowed to speak, one day I may not have a chance to hear it."

Qu Qingze's face changed a little. Su Tiancheng was too brave to say these words. Isn't this a satirical pride of the court and unable to distinguish right from wrong?

No one spoke.

At this time, Liu Jingting let go. Su Tiancheng said such things. If he still hides it, it would be too unfair. At worst, something could happen. If he takes it upon himself, he would say that it has nothing to do with Lord Su.

The sandalwood sounded and the sound was crisp.

Liu Jingting started to tell stories. This was probably the most touching thing he said. What he had seen or heard of was something that happened alive in the Ming Dynasty.

"By the way, there was a family in my place in the Ming Dynasty..."

This story is indeed very miserable. Liu Jingting talks about a family whose parents worked hard to raise two children, one son and one daughter, but when they encountered a deserted year, there was almost no harvest in the fields.

When the difficulties were so difficult, many people in the village starved to death, and even caused people to eat. Unfortunately, the gentry and wealthy families in the village were not willing to take out food relief at all.

Fortunately, the son of this family is successful and passed the exam for the scholar. He relied on Bingmi to teach in the village, and finally maintained the life of the family and did not starve to death.

But misfortune still came. The daughter of this family was very beautiful and unfortunately she was attracted by the son of a gentry in the village. Everyone knew that the son of this gentry was a typical playboy, ignorant, and was useless in everything, causing trouble, bullying the weak, bullying men and women. At such an age, he was notorious and no one came to propose marriage.

Yiri, this playboy, found an opportunity to force the girl to rob and insult the girl.

The girl could not withstand such insults and committed suicide by hanging herself.

This incident caused a huge uproar, but it didn't matter to the gentry's playboy. He had done enough bad things and was not doing anything. But it would be a big deal to die a girl.

For the sake of his son, the gentry found a scholar and thought of resigning privately.

After all, the scholar was a scholar, so how could he withstand such anger? His parents were so sad that they both fell ill. The scholar held his breath and went to the county to sue the prince of the gentry.

Unfortunately, the gentry had already found a way to bribe the officials of the county government.

The scholar went to complain, but was framed, saying that when he was a private school teacher in the village, he teased girls and maliciously blackmailed many gentry.

The county government ruled that the scholar was deprived of his fame and was sent to the border to be exiled to serve as a military officer.

The scholar's parents learned the news and could not withstand such a blow. They both died in just a few days.

The scholar's wife also looks good. When the playboy saw that the scholar was exiled, he was brave enough to be brave. So he snatched the scholar's wife and insulted them.

The people in the village saw it and had no choice but to know that the gentry had a strong relationship and the government supported him. Anyone who encounters such a thing can only admit that he is unlucky.

During the story of the story, Liu Jingting grinned and his feelings were fully revealed. When he was excited, he even turned red and almost shed tears.

Sun Chengzong was so old that he couldn't sit still several times. He wanted to stand up and angrily scolded the gentry and the magistrate. The rest of the people were not much better, and the faces on their faces changed.

In the end, Liu Jingting gave a good ending.

The scholar's wife endured humiliation and survived. With the help of kind-hearted people in the village, she went to the mansion to complain. In the end, the gentry's children were sentenced to beheading, the magistrate was dismissed, and the scholar recovered his fame.

After doing all this, the scholar's wife committed suicide.

The scholar sighed at the injustice of the world, and fled into the mountains and forests, and became a monk.

After Liu Jingting finished speaking, everyone didn't speak for a long time.

In the last paragraph, it was obviously Liu Jingting deliberately added. Just imagine how could the scholar's wife, a weak woman, go to the government office to file a lawsuit? Since the gentleman has such a powerful relationship, how could the scholar's wife complain? The final result, needless to say, is that the scholar's family is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the gentry has nothing to do.

After listening to this passage, Liu Zongzhou stroked his chest with his hands without listening, and obviously a sense of anger was suffocating in his heart.

In Jingsi Hall, everyone was depressed. No one would be happy after hearing such a story.

Of course, Liu Jingting said it too well. Everyone sinks in and treats himself as the scholar, feeling the inner sadness of the scholar. You must know that the protagonist is a scholar, a person with fame and fortune, and has suffered such a result. If this is placed on ordinary people, there is no need to say anything, and there is no chance to complain.

Sun Chengzong and others believed in such stories. They had seen too many powerful people who bully the weak. The government made accomplices for tigers, and what they saw in their eyes was silver.

Such things may be happening somewhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, such stories are never allowed to be told in public, which discredited the Ming Dynasty and the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty.

If Liu Jingting told such a story, if someone with ulterior motives knew about it and kept complaining, he would have to sue, and he might have been sent to serve.

Of course, Su Tiancheng has already taken responsibility in front of him. Besides, the people who heard about the storytelling are different. After all, they are all famous figures, and no one can do such despicable things.
