"Zhu...Mr. Zhu..."
The inspector reluctantly put away his sword, "What do you want?"
Zhu Che was not polite and said bluntly: "You ask your soldiers to get out of the way, and I will go in with this person to explore the situation in the academy."
The inspector looked at Xia Yuanlong and said, "Mr. Zhu, we can only let you in. This person must stay outside."
Zhu Che's face turned red: "Don't you recognize him? Let me tell you, he is the director of Nanjing Imperial College!"
The inspector was not afraid of any Nanjing officials, but he was afraid of Zhu Che's aggressiveness. He didn't get a clear order from the prefect to seize the goods, so he naturally refused to be tough. He thought he would give in temporarily and settle the scores later.
"Everyone, go away and ask Mr. Zhu and this Si Ye to go in."
The inspector made way for them and watched them pass through the main entrance.
Zhu Che moved a large wooden box down from the library, wiped his sweat, walked to Xia Yuanlong, pointed at it and said: "These are all secret communications between Dean Li and the chiefs of various departments. In the academy, Evidence of theft of fees.”
Xia Yuanlong didn't respond and just listened to him speak slowly. Zhu Che saw that he was noncommittal, so he took the opportunity to suggest: "According to my opinion, it is better to burn all the contents in this box so that the government does not know about it."
Xia Yuanlong immediately waved his hand: "This is not a good plan. Not only is it unnecessary, but if the government discovers it, we will be charged with destroying evidence. Isn't it a hundred harms without any benefit? Let's put it aside for now, it will be useful in the future. "
"Just follow Vice Meng Xia's idea." Zhu Che felt ashamed, "I don't know what to do next?"
"You come with me first."
Xia Yuanlong walked along the narrow path and stepped up to the lecture hall: it is also called Sihe Hall, just like Nanjing. He walked to the long table and didn't know what he wanted to get. He searched carefully for a long time and picked out a seal from under a pile of white paper.
"Did you make this thing by yourselves?" He touched it back and forth and found it was exactly the same as the seal from Nanjing Academy.
"When Dean Li visited Mr. Wei in Nanjing, he showed him the Nanjing seal, so he copied it here." Zhu Che said with a smile.
"You just bring this seal to gather the people. When they see you and have this object as proof, they will definitely come and go, and the academy will be restored to life in an instant."
"Don't have pen and paper?" Zhu Che approached.
"Be prepared. The situation is urgent now. What we want is to get twice the result with half the effort." Xia Yuanlong handed the seal to his hand and closed his palm. "Sir, please don't waste time, otherwise a seizure order will be issued and everything will stop!"
Zhu Che was still hesitant, but after hearing these words, he nodded firmly and turned to leave.
"Master Inspector, Zhu Che left, through the side door." A soldier reported to the inspector.
"Really?" The inspector's eyes brightened.
"We're not afraid of people named Xia. We can just go in and seize the academy. Kill them first and report them later!" Some soldiers started shouting.
"Don't do it so radically," the inspector Fu Jian sighed, "Zhu Daru's face still has to be taken care of."
"I think this is possible," the patrol inspector suddenly had an idea. "Let's take the opportunity to move into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and allow those idiots to move around, but we must keep a close eye on them to prevent them from causing trouble secretly."
The inspection general turned his head and ordered the soldier: "In half an hour, you and a dozen people will quickly enter the academy!"
Yuan Long heard the commotion outside and hurriedly leaned out of the window. He saw that the officer had led his soldiers to seize the main road, warehouses, and even directly stationed in various dormitories.
He was a little angry and shouted at the officer: "You don't have an explicit order from the prefect, how dare you do this!"
When the officer heard this, he walked under the window and yelled: "You are not a local, so you are just pretending to lose your reputation? Stop meddling in other people's business here!"
Xia Yuanlong, a person who refused to accept weakness, immediately became angry and was about to argue with him when he saw Zhu Che leading a group of people from the academy in the distance, pushing the officers and soldiers towards the lecture hall.
The officer turned pale and hurried to the front, bowing to Zhu Che and saluting: "Mr. Zhu, you..."
"What's wrong with me? You entered the academy without permission. Could it be that you want to drive me, Zhu Che, out of Suzhou City?!" Zhu Che cursed loudly, and the officer did not dare to say a word back.
"This is what the patrol asked us to do..."
"Tell him to come out!" Those scholars took advantage of Zhu Che's momentum and shouted accordingly.
"Mr. Zhu, there's no need to be angry," the inspector said, standing behind him, "Just calm down first."
Zhu Che walked up and continued to question: "Why do you dare to lead troops into the inner courtyard? The Yamen is still discussing the matter of sealing it down. Who ordered you to do this?"
The inspector smiled instead: "Mr. Zhu, there was an official document in the Yamen earlier, saying, 'Search the hospital at the beginning of Shen Dynasty and seal it up at the end of You'. Even if they are talking about things over there, we must do our duty."
Zhu Che felt itching with hatred, but he couldn't refute the official document and could only have a stalemate with him. Seeing that Mr. Zhu was at a disadvantage, the Confucian scholars behind him wanted to vent their anger on him. More than 20 people surrounded him with saliva flying around.
The officer winked at the officers and soldiers, drew their swords from their sheaths, and approached them; but Zhu Che still did not realize this fact.
"How unbecoming!" Xia Yuanlong hurriedly came out of the hall and shouted, which stunned a large group of people.
"The quiet place of the lecture hall allows you to make unreasonable troubles here!" He separated the crowd, pulled Zhu Che out, and whispered in his ear: "Although we are on the same level as these people, this is not fighting spirit. At that time. You go to the library to move the boxes first, and I will have a few words with these Confucian scholars..."
Zhu Che sighed, held back his temper, and walked to the library without anyone stopping him. He led the Confucian scholars into the lecture hall, and the incident subsided.
Xia Yuanlong strode to the long table under the window, faced the people sitting at separate tables, and glanced coldly, calmly.
"Everyone, I summoned you here, firstly, to maintain the operation of the academy, and secondly, to help you recognize this person. Li Zhizhong, in the cell now, he is probably asleep for a long time. You may regard him as the academy Without him, it would be impossible to pull the academy out of the quagmire, so they tried their best to rescue him from prison. But in fact, he was not unjustly accused. He really committed those serious crimes of corruption and bending the law. He is an out-and-out villain. !”
Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other, and whispering. They were confused. Why did the deputy leader of Nanjing criticize Dean Li when he first arrived?
Xia Yuanlong glanced at Zhu Che in the hall and said, "Mr. Zhu, show the box to everyone."
Zhu Che said as he moved the box up, "These are real evidences. They are locked in the library. The government has opened them once, but you haven't seen them yet."
Zhu Che slowly opened the box, which contained letters, account books, and even some signed gold and silver utensils.
"Keep your eyes open, this is full of countless crimes committed by Li Pheasant!"
