Chapter 1079, regardless of shame
The people around the county government opened their eyes today. The academic scholars who have always been aggressive in the sky and often show their "peerless martial arts skills" to ordinary people finally hit the iron plate, soft and vulnerable. ⊙
Even Ma Yu was surprised. At first, facing a group of opponents, he was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he wanted to knock down a few people first to shock the rest.
So he took a few steps back with all his concentration, which made the opponent widen a certain distance. He suddenly pierced his horse's stance and sank his dantian. He reached out to block the opponent who was rushing to the front. His other hand was about to fight back quickly, but unexpectedly, the man screamed and fell to the ground.
Ma Yu didn't think too much, and a fist flew over. He waved his hand and pressed his strength. The opponent collapsed to the ground in an instant, moaning Lian Tian.
"Huh!" Ma Yu saw that his opponent was too weak, so he stopped his strength. Who would have punched him gently, and the man immediately squatted on the ground with his head in his arms and screamed in pain. He kicked him slightly, and he immediately knelt on the ground with his stomach covering his stomach.
"Coward." Ma Yu became angry for a moment. How could men in Shandong be so weak? He really smeared his hometown, so he rushed up without hesitation, punching and kicking these academic masters to the point of being staggered, scaring Lai Xiucai and others to hide aside. He did not dare to go forward, nor was he willing to let go, so he just kept cursing around Ma Yu from afar.
Ma Yu said disdainfully: "You are not worthy of being a Shandong man, and you have no power to tie a chicken."
"Well said," the common people shouted, "If this is to be spread, the Shandong men were all thrown away.
"We are a literati, not a martial artist." Lai Xiucai was so angry that he shouted.
Several seriously injured scholars lay on the ground, with blood on their faces and noses flowing, and their literati's scarf fell off, and their hair was disheveled. When did they have this anger? They wiped their faces with blood in anger, and ran to the county government office to cry and said, "Rebellion! Rebellion! We were so humiliated to this point. What is the rule? I hope my parents will help you and uphold justice for the students."
The county magistrate was shocked by Ma Yu's skills and looked at these miserable guys. Liangliang said, "This is all because of the humiliation of your brothers. Even if you are a literate person, you should not be humiliated; but they are also gentle. You obviously had to attack one of them first, and you beat one of them for more than 20 times. Can they be humiliated?"
The scholar shouted: "We insult him? He is there! There is no trace; and he insults us, the evidence is conclusive. You clearly witnessed him, so how can you generalize it? We ask the adults to come forward. If you let them bewitch others, we will rush to the provincial capital overnight, ask the governor to come forward to detain the culprit, and jointly impeach us to save our lives."
The county magistrate suddenly smoked and cursed a group of gentle rogues secretly. He had to ponder for a while and said helplessly: "You are injured, and there is a reason to punish him. But he only has one person. You are more than twenty people, and you have seen so many people in person. How could I just shout for justice for you brothers? Forget it, this matter has become a big deal anyway. We can't settle the case in our county, so we should just report to the government office and let the prefect make the decision."
In this way, he picked up his pen and wrote the documents, and sent a yamen runner to escort a group of scholars to the capital city immediately. He also arranged for someone to invite Ma Yu to spend the night at the post station, and informed him of his own difficulties at night, and he promised to prepare a sedan chair tomorrow morning to send it to him.
In name, both sides are not allowed to walk together, for fear of trouble on the road. Those scholars despise the county magistrate and have no choice but to go on the road.
In fact, the scholars had their own concerns. Linqu County belonged to the Qingzhou Office of Shandong governor, and the city was Linzi. It was more than 100 miles away. It was too late. No matter what, it would be impossible to get there, so I had to rest halfway.
That night, the group of people discussed and started preparations. The yamen runners were familiar with them and did not dare to care.
The next day, he continued to set off, and saw Diao Xiucai cut it into a flag with a piece of yellow paper, pasted it on the bamboo pole, and wrote a big red character on it, "The famous scholar Ma Yu used his power to humiliate the students, and studied in the palace, shouted drums to complain about his injustice, prayed to the prefect to support justice, and asked the old and young men along the way to speak up for justice.
Other scholars used rags to wrap their heads, hang their arms, and limped with crutches, and sighed, looking really miserable, like a group of soldiers who had lost their battle.
In this way, even if the prefect was hampered by Ma Yu's reputation and background, he would not dare to openly protect him. This is the way to win.
As expected, as soon as they entered the city, they immediately caused a sensation in half of the city. So many scholars were beaten and injured by others. It was an unheard of rare things, and people followed behind.
There is nothing to be proud of when he works as a scholar. Instead, he blames Lai for having a bad idea. He wants to be shameless. It is really not embarrassing at the moment.
In short, I arrived at the government office in such a noisy way. Before the prefect had left the church, there were 10 or 20 injured scholars, and there were many troubles. The yamen runners hurriedly asked the prefect to go to the church.
Lai Xiucai asked the county to submit the county's writings, and he felt over and over again. After all, this is not a county town.
Soon the prefect came to the hall, read the documents, and asked, "The sentient beings have arrived, why is this horse happy not there?"
The county messenger replied: "My adults are worried about an accident on the road, so they walked together. I guess they will arrive in a while."
The prefect turned to the scholars and said, "You don't need to argue about this matter. Do you want me to punish him for the dispute over the spirit of studying? It should be transferred to the school and criticized him. It would be fine if you don't hide it from you. When Ma Xinghe returned home, he came to check the road guide and paid the toll here. I have seen it myself. If it is me, I should be a peacemaker for both parties and ask for some medical money for you and others. If it is a fake, I should investigate it myself and be a decent person in the whole country."
Lai Xiucai was unwilling to accept his grievances, and the prefect said coldly: "More than 20 people beat one person, but the entire army was wiped out. Even if you have the right to sue the court, what is Ma Yu's fault? Even if you are punished, you will beat fifty steps each and remove everyone's fame and fortune. Think about it very much."
Lai Xiucai was stunned and the others looked at each other. After thinking carefully, it was true. Besides, they deceived the Xia family first. If they alarmed the superiors and continued to investigate, they would regret it all at this point and dare not make a noise.
Seeing that they were honest, the prefect ordered them to leave the mansion and wait outside. He must be fair in this matter and no one can favor it.
Besides, Ma Yu also regretted it. He beat the scholars up for a moment and was forced to the mansion. This trip would undoubtedly be embarrassing. At the same time, he was also very angry. These rogues were really unreasonable. Since the trouble was started for the good people such as the Xia family, then just make a move to the end.
He had a horse himself and did not need the sedan chair provided by the county, thinking about it all the way. When he arrived outside the city gate, he suddenly said, "It's so embarrassing, I won't go."
After saying that, he pulled the reins and was about to go back. The policeman was so scared that he immediately grabbed his reins tightly and begged: "Master Ma, don't harm us. If you let you go back, how can you go back? We are dead."
Ma Yu said unhappily: "I go if I want to go, but if I can't go, I won't go. The Mansion Master doesn't care about me. You let go, and I will send the butler over to come."
"No! Master Ma, please be fine, please pity us." The four officers begged, "The prefectures and counties do not care about you, but they will care about the younger ones. Even if we die, we will not dare to let you go back."
Ma Yu was in a dilemma and immediately pondered. The leading yamen runner held the horse's head and quietly gave his companion a wink and asked him to rush to the government office to report the news first.
Outside the government office, scholars felt that Ma Yu was not a fake, who would pretend to be a fake in Linqu County? Things happened quickly at that time. They were beaten again, and they refused to give in when their heads were hot. As a result, they were kicked to the capital by the unresponsible county magistrate.
The Duke of the Mansion did not hesitate to offend the public and use words to scare them. It seemed fair, but in fact it had turned to Ma Yu, because Ma Yu was not hurt at all. Most of the people here were injured.
But Ma Yuwei is so famous that he has a big backer behind him. No county or government dares to offend him. I believe the province dares not offend him. He is even more so. He is so panicked and complains to each other.
Lai Xiucai, who was pointed out by thousands of people, had no choice but to say, "Forget it, we can't afford to offend others. We should be the hero of the times and get rid of this matter first."
He then asked to visit the prefect, and he was approved. He went to the hall and reported: "The students had no grudges and no grudges with Ma Yu, but because they heard that Xia Lu was planning to kill his master, they reported to the county out of a moment of indignation. Ma Yu came forward to cancel the case. Therefore, the students were dissatisfied and argued with him, and they started fighting. In this way, they asked the officials to go to the palace to punish him for his crime. Now that the students are relieved, why bother with him? Even if they don't know the true or the false, the students are meaningless. They want the students to give their kindness and cancel their application so that the students can go home to study."
The prefect smiled and said, "Your original intention is that you think this horse is fake, so you make a wave. Seeing that I recognized it, I thought I would get rid of my sins. It is reasonable to sue me and I should be heard by the trial, but I think I am waiting for you to be a member of you."
So he wrote off the documents and said, "Go, no trouble will happen in the future!"
The scholars went in and thanked him, and couldn't help but feel depressed. There were so many people around him, and this time it was so embarrassing.
Let's sneak home quickly, and suddenly I saw a policeman from the county coming here. The yamen runners came forward and asked, "Why are you not yet?"
The policeman said, "It's time, but at the gate of the city, he suddenly panicked and said that he was embarrassed, saying that he refused to enter the city, and he planned to hide back on the same road."
The yamen runner said in surprise: "Where are people now?"
"Just outside the south gate, surrounded by brothers, I rushed to report to the prefect." The messenger dismounted and hurried in.
"Huh?" The scholars were surprised first and then happy, and they all laughed.
Diao Xiucai sneered: "If you don't dare to come, that must be fake. OK, there are people who dare to pretend to be Mr. Ma. How can we spare this bachelor?"
A scholar asked the county police officer: "Is he real?"
The police were not sure. At that time, they went to the Ma family in Zhuwei Village. The county magistrate and officials and clerks came in. How could they be qualified to be the guest of honor? They just looked at each other from a distance and shook their heads and said, "I don't know if it's true."
"Fake!" Lai Xiucai slapped the folding fan, "What are you really afraid of? Obviously there is a ghost in your heart. Hehe! It's nothing to spare him, and it will be difficult to deal with the Xia family later. No matter how you go, we will ask the emperor of the mansion to conduct an trial. Even if the trial is unfair, he is a young man from an official family. As long as it is not real Ma Yu, we will win, and we will go back and continue to seek revenge on the Xia family."
