The next day, in the Jinyiwei Yamen, Lu Datong was leaning on a cane and his body was covered with bandages. He looked like a mummy. Su Xiaolou did not expect that this person could persist in not asking for leave even though he was like this. He was so dedicated and a capitalist. I was moved to tears after watching it.
Su Xiaolou received a mission early in the morning, saying that the students of Donglin College had rioted, and asked Su Xiaolou to quickly bring people over to suppress it, maintain order on the scene and ensure the safety of the students.
Intuition told Su Xiaolou that it was not that simple, but he could not refuse this mission. After all, Lei Zhen had just warned Su Xiaolou yesterday to keep in mind his responsibilities as a royal guard.
"You guys are going to Donglin College with me immediately. Lu Datong, you stay on duty."
Although Su Xiaolou didn't want to go, he quickly took people there.
When Su Xiaolou and others arrived, Donglin College was as lively as a food market. They were divided into two groups and started shouting and swearing at each other. Their faces were really degrading to gentlemen. Some people even threw smelly shoes and sage books. , even the masters from Donglin College joined the battle, and the fighting became more and more intense. There was an old master with gray hair who still had someone’s smelly socks hanging on his hairpin. The situation was out of control at all. Come on, no wonder you asked Jin Yiwei to come.
Su Xiaolou sounded like he was arguing about a hot topic in the court today. Sejong's mother, Chiang, had recently arrived in Tongzhou from the vassal state of Anlu. What etiquette should be used to welcome her into the palace? This became an urgent problem and a heated discussion started in the court. Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, put forward two opinions. The first was to enter the palace through Chongwen Gate and then through Dong'an Gate. The second was to enter the palace through Zhengyang Zuomen again. When the Ming Dynasty East Gate entered the palace, these two proposals did not treat Jiang as the empress dowager, and were immediately rejected by Shizong.
After Jiang arrived in Tongzhou, she was very sad to hear that her honorific title had not been decided yet and refused to go to Beijing. After hearing the news, Shizong couldn't eat or sleep at night. He was also very sad and shouted that he would no longer be emperor and would live with his mother. The Jiang family returned to Anlu Prefecture together. Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, saw through Shizong's trick and was not threatened at all. He insisted on his original proposal. Shizong also insisted on his original idea. No one was willing to back down, and it was a stalemate.
This group openly debated such a sensitive topic in public, and even stood on a high platform and yelled impassionedly at King Sejong for disrespecting etiquette and being unorthodox. It was simply audacious.
This group of students is really troublesome. Almost most of them are famous scholars and they don't dare to act rashly.
Because the noise was too loud, the fat man leaned into Su Xiaolou's ear and said, "Boss, what should I do? Arrest someone?"
"If you don't arrest them, just tell them not to gather in a crowd and make noise. Just drive them away. Remember not to hurt these little ancestors."
"Okay, boss!" The fat man took out the saber from his waist and shouted: "Jin Yiwei is on an errand, get out of my way!"
When Su Xiaolou and others came over and stood on the high platform, the people on the platform were still spitting and cursing each other, ignoring Su Xiaolou at all. Su Xiaolou drew out the saber from his waist in anger and shouted loudly: : "You dare to insult the current emperor in public, you are going to die. Believe it or not, I will arrest you and put you in jail."
There was a moment of silence on the field. Su Xiaolou saw that it was effective and continued: "You people who read the books of sages shout about filial piety every day, but let others change their parents. How embarrassing!"
Suddenly a book hit Su Xiaolou's head, and the area where it hit immediately became red and swollen. A cynical voice came out: "It's because of you officials who like to flatter you that the government is in such a mess."
As soon as these words came out, everyone rushed forward, pushing, cursing, punching and kicking. They were so overwhelmed that Su Xiaolou almost had his feet off the ground. Suddenly, a huge pain came from his arm. Su Xiaolou lowered his head and Look, someone grabbed his arm and bit him.
"Are you a dog when you are riding a horse? You bite people when you see them. Get away from me immediately." Su Xiaolou twitched his arm twice but did not move away. The force was quite strong. It was time to use the new boxing technique he learned yesterday. Su Xiaolou clenched his fist and bit his student's shoulder with a hammer. The student flew out immediately and fell to the ground in a panic. He covered his chest and began to shake violently. Su Xiaolou looked at his fists in shock. He had been practicing for a day. Is this boxing technique so powerful? Or am I gifted...
The student who fell on the ground gradually stopped shaking and lay motionless on the ground like a dead fish. The noise in the scene instantly stopped. Everyone looked at the student on the ground in horror. Su Xiaolou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he is dead? One bold student trembled and put his hand under the man's nose on the ground to sniff out his breath.
"People are dead. Jinyiwei killed people. Jinyiwei killed people."
…
"Cell boss, give me a bottle of wine. I want to drink. Do you hear me? Cell boss! Cell boss..." Su Xiaolou was lying on a pile of straw in the single room of the Criminal Department's cell, holding a straw in his mouth. , listening to the sound of pushing cups and changing cups from the other side of the cell, he shouted arrogantly at the top of his voice: "The lame cell leader, be smart and serve me a bottle of wine quickly, or I will overthrow you." Prison, fire on your ass, pluck out all your hair.”
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore. The sound of light and heavy footsteps in the distance came closer and closer. Before anyone arrived at the corner, a cursing voice came over: "Hey! I have never met you in all the years I have been working as a prison cell leader." Such an arrogant prisoner dares to ask me for a drink, you think this is a tavern!"
The lame prison guard impatiently walked to the door of Su Xiaolou's cell, waved the two-foot-thick whip in his hand and "snapped!" and slammed it onto the rusty cell iron fence, as if there was a metallic resonance reverberating in the air. The prison boss said fiercely: "Be honest! Otherwise I will beat you to pieces!"
Su Xiaolou covered his chest with one hand and said provocatively: "I'm so scared! Go and get a bottle of good wine for me, otherwise I'll yell right now, you're going to kill the other cell leader's wife." Here you go." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at the lame prison head in a provocative manner.
Upon hearing this, the lame cell leader cursed softly and angrily: "You are talking nonsense. I will tear your mouth apart if I don't come in."
"I'm talking nonsense. If I'm talking nonsense, why are you in such a hurry? Since I'm talking nonsense, I'll yell."
Just as Su Xiaolou was about to shout, the lame prison guard gave up: "Don't shout, don't shout, you are my ancestor, wait!" The prison guard came back again, with a bottle of wine in his hand, and he drank the wine with a "bang" sound. The pot was placed on the ground at the door of the cell. Su Xiaolou slowly stood up and walked to the door of the cell. He reached out through the fence, picked up the bottle, shook it, and muttered dissatisfied: "Why is there only half a bottle of wine?"
"Only half a bottle left, drink it if you like!"
Su Xiaolou pushed the wine bottle into the gap in the fence: "How do you want me to drink?"
The old man stood at the door of the cell, looked at Su Xiaolou, and asked, "How do you know... that stuff?"
If you don’t tell me, you won’t be given a drink! Su Xiaolou proudly said bluntly: "While you were drinking, I just heard you asking which snack shop makes the best cherry pancakes, and which one is the one that serious men like to eat! It's so sweet, so sweet, It must be used to please women, be they wives, daughters or lovers. You name it, coincidence or not, I just heard another prison boss say that his wife also likes to eat cherry pancakes, but it’s too expensive every time. If you are willing to buy more, I will go back and help you ask his wife which shop sells the better food. Then I heard other prison bosses ridiculing that this prison boss is so lucky. His wife is so beautiful and he is not willing to buy cherry pancakes. I guess you I bought cherry pancakes to please the prison boss’s wife, do you think my analysis is correct?”
