Rebel

It is said that Gu Ao followed the boy to the Yizheng Hall, this was the first time he saw this mansion, everywhere he looked, there was a square, peaceful and majestic sumo face, with the words "Yizheng Hall" hanging high on the plaque, it was just Standing in the center of the buildings of Shanyun Academy, it shines brightly.

Gu Ao followed the little boy quickly into the main hall, and saw that soldiers were lined up all around, and the uniforms of the soldiers all had the word "Shou" written on their backs, which seemed to be from Jiangqu County. The defenders are gone.Surrounded by two rows of soldiers, a middle-aged man in a fine attire stood in the middle, wearing a laurel wreath and brocade attire, with an air of nobility.

At this time, Tian Rong was being held down by someone and bound his hands in the hall, shouting "wronged" on the ground.The inside was crowded with people, and many young masters had already come to watch the excitement.

Gu Ao scanned for a week, and saw that besides the guards, there were several young students whom he did not know. It seemed that not only the elementary school students in Yuanmeng Academy were alarmed, but also the students in other schools. There are also many who are attracted by this sound to come here.There were even a few middle-aged people who looked like teachers in the crowd, and one of them had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, which was really eye-catching.

Gu Ao didn't care too much about the idle place, he walked through the crowd in a few steps, and rushed into the open space in the hall.

It turned out that Tian Rong was appreciating his new hat in the house today, when suddenly a group of guards broke in, grabbed him and left.Before he understood what was going on, he asked, "What are you doing?!"

Those people didn't care about him, they dragged him to the political hall without any explanation.All the servants of the Qi family followed Master Qi, surrounded Tian Rong and shouted, "Jade thief!" When did Tian Rong see such a formation?For a while, I only felt that my eyes were dark, and I couldn't argue with it.

His ability to make friends with people in normal times is based on the way of whispering and acting like a baby, but now facing everyone's blatant eyes, how can he still have the slightest wit?If Tian Rong was allowed to sit alone in the secret room and talk with others, he might be able to find some solutions; but now seeing such a huge formation with guards accompanying him, Tian Rong was shocked and dumbfounded, almost even I won't say anything.

What's more... Tian Rong never expected this!

This jade is obviously a son of a noble family, and the red mouth and white teeth said it was given to him!

He even regarded this piece of jade as a proof of his friendship with the aristocratic family, admiring it for a long time!

Now that there was a sudden change, Tian Rong was momentarily dizzy by the reversal of the situation, and couldn't help but be tongue-tied and speechless.I had no choice but to look at the crowd, insisting: "I didn't steal it, I was wronged!" and said: "I want to see my wife, Jian Pu!"

At this moment, Gu Ao has rushed to Tian Rong's side.When Tian Rong saw Gu Ao coming, the primordial spirit who was almost terrified returned to his seat. He didn't know why, but when he saw Gu Ao appearing from the crowd and standing in front of him, he didn't know why. In an instant, his eyes were sore that he wanted to cry...

Gu Ao raised his eyes and saw that the middle-aged man had already held Tian Rong's hat, as if he was playing with it.

Although Gu Ao said earlier that he would cut off friendship with Tian Rong, he also made the decision at that time, but now that Tian Rong is in trouble, Gu Ao has regarded himself as Tian Rong's protector for so long in the Tian family, and this step is in front of Tian Rong. It was an instinctive reaction.

And this time it is not only about Tian Rong, but also about the reputation of the teacher, and Gu Ao feels that he can't ignore it.

Now that he can't care so much, Gu Ao calmly looked at the many onlookers around him, and raised his eyebrows as he walked, and said in a loud voice: "I heard that the Qi family is rich and powerful, but now they are here. Take someone?"

Some people around said: "Look at his hat! He even bought cloth shoes and only brocade shoes. How could he have such jade?"

Gu Ao glanced at the guards lined up with the halberds of the guards, and said loudly: "So, everyone thinks that Tian Rong climbed over a city wall of more than three feet with this fat body, and walked more than ten miles day and night. , Fly over the eaves and walls to steal the jade from Qi’s house?”

A servant of the Qi family said: "He is the one who tricked my son!"

Gu Ao looked up to the sky and laughed: "Joke! Since the young master of the Qi family is also involved, why not take the young master of the Qi family into custody together? What about the crime of conspiracy? Now, based on his empty teeth, it is Tian Rong who deceived Qi. Young Master Qi, why don't you say that Young Master Qi deceived him?

As a commoner who came out of the mountains, what does Qi's jade know?He is two years younger than the young master of the Qi family. What you mean is that the young master of the Qi family is a brainless, mentally handicapped man who was deceived by a boy who came from the mountains and had never seen the world, and was two years younger than him. Household stuff? "

After finishing speaking, Gu Ao turned his eyes to the middle-aged man who stood in the middle and kept silent: "If you admit that your son is a waste with a body and no heart, then Tian Rong stole the jade. Otherwise, why not you?" House guards stealing themselves?"

As soon as Gu Ao's voice fell, the scene that was originally mixed with the sound of conversation gradually quieted down.In fact, no one knows that the children of the Qi family are also confused about this matter, but it is clearly written in the "Law" that scholars and ordinary people are involved in the same crime, and ordinary people are guilty of crimes, not scholars.Since the Qi family had reported to the officials, the soldiers and guards in the county followed the law and came up to take Tian Rong.Even Juncheng didn't report it: because this book is customized.

The master of the Qi family made a big fanfare in the Yizheng hall. He originally wanted to show Tian Rong to the public, so that everyone could see the face and character of the jade thief, but he didn't want a young man to rush out suddenly and refute the matter for the jade thief.

Master Qi has been a minister for generations, and he grew up in a gentle village. He is not good at arguing with others. Since he led his troops to Shanyun Academy, he never expected that things would develop against him. Calling, the students surrounded by young people don't understand the words "the party is the same and the difference is different", they all stretched their necks to watch the show, but occasionally a few elementary school students laughed beside them:

"What are you talking about, you boy in cloth clothes?"

"Aren't you the servant who carries the water?"

"Is Mr. Yun committed himself to you?"

"Did you quarrel with Mr. Yun?"

"Is it because Young Master Yun doesn't want you anymore?"

And so on, it doesn't make sense at all!

When Master Qi saw that this place was no better than the Qi family, even if he brought servants, he would not respond to everyone.Just now he didn't say a word, because he didn't want to lose his identity and argue with a poor family boy in common clothes in the lobby as the master of the family.Seeing that Gu Ao's words became more and more shameful, and even questioned himself, no one around him drove Gu Ao's chaotic staff out, and he was a little annoyed, but he said calmly, "Who are you? How dare you come here?" This yelling?"

Gu Ao has been ruthless since he was a child, it is a skill he cultivated in the insults when he was young.Originally, after learning books, there are few places to use... Now that it is related to the name of his master Jian Pu, Gu Ao blames himself for not managing Tian Rong well, so he puts all this matter in his heart. Carried on one's own shoulders.Seeing that the masters of the Qi family were so agitated now, he couldn't help being angry, and the fierce spirit in his bones also rushed out regardless.

"...you ask me who I am?...you ask me why I dare to speak?" Gu Ao sneered and said forcefully: "... I didn't think that whoever told the truth, Master Qi would want to investigate He has eight generations of ancestors! Why, it turns out that Shanyun Academy doesn’t allow students to speak?! Why, this Shanyun Academy is the backyard of your Qi family?! Let you point out a deer as a horse, and pervert the law in an unjust case!”

Speaking of Gu Ao, he said sternly: "I will tell you today...whether you admit it or not, the truth is here! The jade was given by your son himself, so don't rely on others. Whether you pretend not to know or not , I still really don’t know, the fact is here, the jade was given by your son himself! No matter who I am, the fact is here, you don’t want to sneak into a warehouse and blame a good person!”

After being reprimanded by Gu Ao, Master Qi's face was filled with the color of foie gras. When did Master Qi suffer such humiliation, he commanded the guards to shout: "Crazy man, come! Take him down!" !"

"Why, do you want to kill people when you see people telling you about your family's misfortune?" Gu Ao said coldly, and when he saw the guard approaching, he yelled loudly: "How dare you?! I am a student of Shanyun Academy, Even if you don’t kneel down when you see the sheriff! If you catch me, will you be able to bear the crime in the future?! The mighty soldiers will be given to scholars, and Jiangqu County’s century-old reputation will be ruined! Which of you can afford the punishment of the sheriff? Come and arrest me !"

As he spoke, he stood up.

Those guards were dispatched normally, seeing what Gu Ao said, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and they didn't dare to move.

At this moment, the sound of galloping horses and galloping hooves came from outside the door, and there was a burst of dust outside the Yizheng Hall. The horse whipped and reined in the bridle, and a young man dismounted from his horse. Liao Quji, the governor of the county.

He quickly stepped inside, glanced around the crowd, and said with a smile: "Master Qi, I'm Xia Liao Quji, my father is Liao Yong, the prefect. I don't know that Lord Qi is coming so far, and he didn't go out to meet him. I hope you will forgive me!"

Seeing that Mr. Liao Chang had come, the leader of the army knew that the matter was of great importance, and seeing that Liao Quji had stepped between Gu Ao and the guards with one step, he understood the meaning of resistance, and felt a little annoyed that he had rashly sent troops , hurriedly leaned over and said: "The last general will see the eldest son!"

Liao Quji nodded slightly, then walked up to Master Qi, and said respectfully: "Master Qi, my father also invites you to the humble house for a little reunion."

Master Qi was in a fit of anger at this time, just now he was humiliated for no reason like Gu Ao, and now his anger was evident: "I have to deal with this madman first!" Seeing that the guards did not move, he jumped up and said, "You are not so quick Take down this lunatic?!"

"Which lunatic are you going to deal with?" An old voice sounded, and everyone looked towards the door.I saw Mr. Shan Yunzi, with white hair hanging down his back, walking step by step into the Yizheng Hall with a cane, followed by Jian Pu and Yun Ang.

All of a sudden, in the Yizheng Hall, everyone bowed and said: "Your Excellency!"

Shan Yunzi stood in the center of the Yizheng Hall, Weiwei scanned the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on the guard, and said: "Why, are you going to arrest the old man's closed disciple?"

Liao Quji was on the side, he was shocked when he heard the words, "When did Mr. Shan Yunzi accept Gu Ao as a closed disciple?" Seeing that the head of the guards led the guards, they didn't move a single step, they didn't make a statement, they all waited Having made up his mind, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Mr. Shan Yunzi and said, "Students dare not!"

Shan Yunzi's eyes turned to Liao Quji: "Young Master Liao, in the past, the old man discussed with all the families that from now on, Shanyun Academy will open its doors to all families, but no family can invade Shanyun Academy with soldiers. !Did you forget!"

Liao Qu hurriedly saluted and said, "Don't dare to forget Qu Ji!"

Shan Yunzi nodded, "Okay! As long as you haven't forgotten it!" After saying that, he waved his white robe, led Jian Pu and Yun Ang, and turned to leave.

Liao Qu hurriedly said to Shi Chang who sent troops without authorization: "Aren't you going to apologize to the head of the hospital?"

Seeing the situation, Na Shichang already knew that something bad happened when he led the troops up the mountain, so he rushed up a few steps and blocked Mr. Shan Yunzi's way: "Master, please calm down!"

Before he finished speaking, Master Qi grabbed Liao Quji and said, "Boy of the Liao family! Why, the person who stole something now, is there any reason? Take me to see Master Liao! Let him judge!"

Liao Quji's face darkened, and he took a step back calmly, avoiding Master Qi's approach.Seeing that Mr. Qi didn't know what was good or bad, and that he had given way to three points, but Mr. Qi didn't save any face for himself, he couldn't help being slightly annoyed; the century-old plan he and his father had planned, the foundation of talents lay in Shanyun Academy, how could he be able to do so? Encounter with the Academy?Even if he devours all the students in the future and turns all the students of the academy into members of his Liao family and separates them from the head of the academy, that will be a matter of the future, and there is absolutely no reason to stand up for the Qi family now.

Besides, the Qi family has no important figures in the court since five generations ago, and now it is just a wealthy party, and now they want to make trouble in the Liao family's territory?

When Liao Quji thought about it, he began to think about it.

In fact, Mr. Qi would like to say that he is indeed not in awe of Shanyun Academy, nor is he afraid of Shanyunzi.

He thought to himself: It's not that I want to send my son to Shanyun Academy, it's my wife who said, "All the sons of the aristocratic family will go to Shanyun Academy to study", so I agreed.Now I have learned nothing and lost a piece of jade.

Moreover, in this world, the confrontation between scholars and poor families has never suffered a disadvantage. Master Qi didn't know why he came to him, but he was about to suffer an unprecedented loss. He immediately felt that the world is very unfair-the poor family cannot be compared with the noble family, This is just as it should be.

Liao Quji thought that he was not an incompetent person, and when he saw that Master Qi did not eat the toast, he smiled slightly: "Master Qi, please be safe and don't be impatient."

As he spoke, Liao Quji winked at one of the youths from the aristocratic family, who was the messenger before.That man and Young Master Qi both fell in love with Yun Ang, and they regarded Young Master Qi as a rival in love. Earlier, they hated Young Master Qi for obtaining information about Yun Ang's preferences with a piece of jade.Now that he got Liao Quji's wink, he immediately moved closer to him and urged Mr. Qi to say: "Your father offended the head of the academy, so you will not be kicked out of Shanyun Academy? You will be hated by Mr. Yun?"

Young Master Qi was originally standing in the crowd, watching the confrontation between his father and Gu Ao at a loss, but now he came to his senses after hearing this, and felt as uncomfortable as having his heart and liver cut out of his internal organs.

He was the one who stole the family's ancestral jade in order to get a piece of news from Yunying back then. It can be seen that his obsession has gone deep. Now that he heard such words, he panicked and said: "How good is this?"

At this time, the person who pushed him said: "You hurry up and hold your father! Otherwise, Mr. Yun will hate you!"

Hearing that Young Master Qi glanced at Yun Ang from a distance, and saw that he seemed to have gone away with Yun Zi, the head of the courtyard, his back view made Young Master Qi want to feel his heart and lungs.

Thinking of being hated by Yun Ang, Mr. Qi felt that his whole body and mind were sad, so he walked up from the crowd without thinking, and persuaded his father, Mr. Qi, in front of everyone: "Father, forget it!" Well, that jade was given to Tian Rong by me at that time..."

Seeing his father's froze face, Mr. Qi seemed to be afraid that his father would not believe him, so he continued to say stupidly: "He also exchanged my favorite thing for me. That piece of jade is all my son's heart..."

Master Qi was so angry that he almost didn't turn over... He thought he was possessing the truth, but as soon as his son's voice fell, everyone around started whispering, and the aristocratic family he relied on was also lost!So Mr. Qi raised his hand to slap Mr. Qi, but Liao Qu quickly stepped forward, separated the two of them with a tiger step, and gave Mr. Qi a step with a smile on his face: "Master Qi, father is still here!" There is wine waiting for you in the mansion, please move now?"

Master Qi looked at the situation around him and knew that the general situation was over, so he flicked his sleeves and followed Liao Qu quickly away.

All the children of the aristocratic families followed in a file as if they were watching the excitement, and Shan Yunzi also took Jian Pu out of the corridor through another door at this time.Yun Ang stayed in the hall because he cared about Gu Ao and wanted to have a few words with him.

When they arrived at a secluded place, Jian Pu followed behind Shan Yunzi, and asked, "...that...is the disciple of Senior Brother Xun Yusheng, is Liao Quji sick?"

Shan Yunzi leaned against the green hill and walked with his hands behind his back: "Exactly, what do you think of him?"

Jian Pu sighed, and said bluntly, "You are truly outstanding!"

"How is it compared to your disciple?" Shan Yunzi asked again.

Jian Pu saw Liao Quji's ability to talk and laugh while talking and laughing, which is indeed much better than Gu Ao who can only stick to righteousness... When Jian Pu didn't see Liao Quji, he thought: "Everyone It is said that the young master of the Liao family is so-and-so, but I think it is nothing more than that. At that time, Jian Pushang felt that Gu Ao was so kind, but now that he really saw Liao Quji, he realized that the disciples of the aristocratic family said that they had a graceful bearing and a general's talent.

However, Jian Pu was eager to protect his disciples, and he was still unwilling to admit that Gu Ao was inferior to Liao Quji. When his teacher Shan Yunzi asked him, he said: "If we compare, we have to look at it again."

Shan Yunzi took a look at Jian Pu, seeing his insincere expression, he couldn't help asking: "Can't you see the superiority?"

Jian Pu broke out in a cold sweat: "When I was in the mountains, I thought that Gu Ao was already a talented person in the world, but now I see my brothers and sisters... I know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there is nothing better than this."

Shan Yunzi couldn't help laughing, shook his head, didn't speak, and walked straight forward.Surrounded by green trees, green hills, willows and flowers, clear water blocked the way, Shan Yunzi stood by the stream with his sleeves behind his back, his clothes fluttering, Jian Pu followed behind, seeing that Shan Yunzi did not say anything, he was cautious He asked calmly, "... Teacher, am I wrong?"

Shan Yunzi looked at the resounding spring in the empty mountain, and said nothing.

Standing behind Shan Yunzi, Jian Pu pleaded persistently: "...the disciple is stupid, please help me!"

Shan Yunzi said leisurely: "Let me ask you, is it the one who shows his prestige in the temple or the one who stands up for the people?"

Jian Pu was woken up from his dream by a single word, and he was stunned for a while, before finally saying behind Shan Yunzi: "...Teacher...I understand!"

Jian Pu is well educated, how can he not know, the teacher Shan Yunzi asked, involving an ancient and long debate:

It is the nobles who decide the history, or the common people write the alchemy.

From what Liao Quji and Gu Ao want to learn, we can see clearly... What Liao Quji is good at is to be heard among the nobles in the world;Just now Shan Yunzi asked Jian Pu: "Who is taller between these two?"

Jian Pu understands a little bit and understands it well - the difference between the two depends on the current situation.

The elites of aristocratic families emerge one after another, and when the sky rises, the one who wins the family wins the world—just like the King of Qin.

When the aristocratic family decays, the humble family rises, and when refugees are everywhere, those who win the hearts of the people win the world-so far no one has raised their arms.

It's just that I was pedantic just now, looking at Gu Ao with the eyes of aristocratic family, his demeanor is calm and decent, it seems that he is not as good as Liao Quji;

But if you look at Liao Quji from the eyes of common people, he is superior and does not care about suffering, but he is also useless and can't catch up with Gu Ao at all?

Jian Pu raised his head, following Shan Yunzi's gaze, he cast his gaze towards the distant sky behind the empty mountain...

The author has something to say:

Some people think that Gu Ao is too upright now and is not suitable for climbing to the top, so this is the meaning of CP's existence. CP is scheming, and he is a perfect match with Gu Ao, but he has not appeared yet.
