After the family fell, I wanted to lie down

There were hurried footsteps, and the next moment they stopped, leaving only the sound of continuous panting. It was obvious that there was no way to escape. With a creak, the door opened from the inside and a hand reached out. Then the person outside was pulled in, and the bolt fell with a click.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and they had reached the entrance of the alley. The torches illuminated the alley as bright as day, but the alley was empty.

“None found here.”

“There is nothing here either…”

"In front, hurry up and catch up..."

"The footsteps faded away, and the door was soon opened. Someone left, and the student behind the door said rudely to the old man, "Thank you!"

In the dim light, the old man looked a little uneasy, but he held the young man's arm tightly and said, "Little boy, you should leave tonight. My son is a peddler. He was just helping people push and pull things, but now he has been arrested..."

"Uncle, I can't hide anymore. I want more people to know what those officials who came to the capital did."

The father-in-law said, "You are crazy and you don't want to live anymore. You will be arrested too."

"The young man smiled and said, it's okay, my classmates have all been arrested, why should I be afraid?" After saying that, he bowed again, opened the door, looked around, and walked towards the street.

My father-in-law yelled behind him, but couldn't stop him from running away.

"Every man has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of his country. If an official is not upright, everyone should hold him accountable."

"On the days of peace and prosperity on the jade steps, the plains are filled with grief... The nights of music and singing in the golden palaces are endless... The dead cattle and sheep are left to the wolves to herd, and I have failed the emperor's grace for you."

Over and over again, "Studying is the right path, being afraid of the powerful and the rich is a false morality, and being an official without caring for the people is like being a thief in disguise."

Then the sound of the government office that had been far away came again.

"Here, over here!"

"Stop, hurry up." The noise went away and then came back.

The old man stood by the door and murmured, "These children, these children, what can they do..."

It was a chaotic night with day and night alternating. When the sky brightened in the east, many parents outside Yi Garden left and many were arrested. Yuan's parents were really worried about their children and could only wait anxiously outside the door.

Soldiers and runners were also guarding here. Liang Jingtian was still negotiating with Liao Chengyi and others inside. One wanted to arrest the students and take them to the government jail, while the other was determined to lock them up in Yi Garden. Outside Yi Garden, the place was quiet again. The torches on the ground were still burning. There were scattered shoes, hats, and clothes that rustled in the wind. They looked very miserable.

"I heard there was a commotion in the city last night?"

"Why is there something going on in the city?"

"It's those students who have deployed people in the city..."

"I didn't expect that this group of kids would plan so perfectly..."

"No matter how perfect it is, he still got caught..."

At this point everyone sighed again.

At dawn, someone exclaimed, "Hey, another carriage is coming." At this time, all the students were caught, and everyone was curious about who was coming. At this time, the parents were either sitting or busy preparing to go home, and there were no more hurried carriages running on the road.

At this time, Yiyuan is a place that should be avoided. Who would live here?

As the carriage approached, a man lifted the curtain and stepped down, holding a basket in his hands. In the dim morning light, the young man was tall and slender, with clear and handsome features.

She walked forward slowly, and politely and elegantly said to the person blocking her way, "Excuse me, please let me pass."

Everyone looked surprised when they saw him, "Fu Zijing?"

"What are you here for?"

Fu Zijing said, "I came here because I am also a student."

Of course I know you are a student, but you should know that this is not the question I want to ask. Everyone was slightly startled, but Fu Zijing ignored him, walked through the group of students from last night, lifted his clothes and sat on the ground, then calmly took out a book from the basket and unfolded it.

"Nature is the mandate of Heaven; following nature is the Way; cultivating the Way is education... etiquette is acceptable, but it is not the Way. Therefore, a gentleman is cautious about what he does not see, and fearful of what he does not hear..." The voice was clear and graceful, and for a moment, the sound of reading aloud could be heard outside the gate of Yiyuan.

Liao Chengyi in the hospital: "What did you say?"

The attendant said cautiously, "Someone is reading outside again."

There are still people reading? Liao Chengyi frowned slightly, walked a few steps closer and listened carefully. Sure enough, a voice came faintly from outside, "What is this?"

"This time it's moderate," the attendant replied.

Liao Chengyi slapped him in the face and said angrily, "Is that what I'm asking?" Then he threw his sleeves and said, "Go, arrest whoever comes."

Liang Zhifu, who had already left Yiyuan after losing the argument with Liao Chengyi, had also walked out of the door. When he heard that there were still people studying, he was stunned for a moment. Why are there still students here? Aren't they all arrested? He looked forward and was stunned. There was a more handsome young scholar in the field, Fu Zijing. He had passed the third test and was a scholar. He was no longer just a student. He was worthy of the title of Mr.

Liang Jingtian was surprised and asked, "Why, now even he..."

This Mo City seems a little different now.

At this time, in a house in Mo City, a man in underwear with his hair loose was standing in the corridor and unfolding a scroll.

"On the days of peace and prosperity on the steps, the plains are filled with grief... The nights of revelry and music in the palaces are endless... The dead cattle and sheep are left to the wolves to herd, and I have failed the emperor's grace." He muttered, "Humph, this is bullshit. Did the man named Yingge agree to this?"

The servant in the corridor responded, "Yes, sir, it was thrown directly from Yiyuan last night. I also heard that Yingge wrote the poem by pointing at Liao Chengyi's nose."

Hearing this, the man snorted again and smoothed his hair on both sides to the back, revealing a thin face. This man was Lin Xiucai. He said, "Na Yingge has become bolder now, but she is not a good person. She is very happy to write poems."

The servant shook his head and said, "He is happy, but what's the use? He has been arrested."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiucai spitted on his face, "Fool, they are just corrupt officials, what's the point? So why not scold them? Scholars are afraid of power. How can they gain a foothold in the officialdom after they are born?"

The servant could only helplessly say, "Yes, sir, studying is the right way, being afraid of the powerful and the hypocritical morality, being an official without caring for the people is like being a thief in disguise."

Mr. Lin exclaimed, "So you, a fool, also know this?"

The servant laughed and said, "That wasn't said by the kid, it was said by the group of students. They are indeed like the master, the children of saints."

Liu Xiucai silently said these words in his heart and asked, "Now, what are those children doing?"

He had also heard about the big thing that happened yesterday. As a scholar and a gentleman who had already passed the imperial examination, he had no interest in paying attention to the disputes and jokes between the doormen, otherwise things would only get bigger and bigger. But as a fellow scholar, his integrity should not be trampled upon. Since things had already come to this, he should not mind being included in the mix.

"Sir, please listen to me. Na Yingge finally recited a sentence loudly, saying that studying should be done in a proper way, and fearing the powerful and the hypocritical behavior of the rich and powerful, and then sat on the ground. The students did the same as her, and then waited for Sir Liao to arrest them. I don't know what the result will be. Anyway, it feels like they may not be able to participate in the county examination next year."

Lin Xiucai interrupted him, "What was the last poem they recited?"

"Sir, I can't remember it, but I found a copy. It was thrown all over Mo City yesterday!"

Liu Xiucai took it and read it again. "Young Ranger, Ambitious"

"The sword points to the end of the world, the passion is deep and unyielding... the heart is revealed when the wine is drunk... a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, life and death are together through thick and thin" When he said this, he suddenly fell silent.

The servant was waiting for his order, but he never got it. When he looked up, he saw Liu Xiucai with tears streaming down his face. "Master, why are you..."

Liu Xiucai sighed and said, "Thinking back to my youth..." He looked nostalgic and glanced down at himself, "Now it's just a dream, I'm leaving the phoenix..."

Having said this, he threw the paper in his hand away and walked out.

"Someone, someone, prepare the car. I'm going to meet my old friends."

The servant was startled and said, "Master, you can't, Master..."

Lin Xiucai raised his hand and waved him off, saying loudly, "Don't stop me. Are we worse than children? I don't ask for a long rope, but I want to take the genius of the world. The sword roars in the west wind, and I hate to climb the mountain and stand by the water, watching you..."

The servant stopped him again and said, "Master, Master, this is really not okay, you can't do this!" He even tugged at his clothes.

Liu Xiucai looked down and lifted his robe again. "It's a time when people are singing and dancing on the steps and the people are mourning in the fields. Who cares about saving face and changing clothes? No need to pay attention to it, let's go."

The master has gone crazy, the master has gone crazy, the servant thought blankly, he was fine before, why did he go crazy just because he read a few lines of poetry?

Like the Lin family, there are many families who have not yet rested and gone to sleep.

Old Master Chen was practicing the Five Animals Hand in his own courtyard. A light sweat broke out on his forehead. He took the towel handed to him by the maid and wiped his face with a ruddy face. He said, "The Phoenix from the Fu family is gone too? I think this guy is crazy. He can't do this if he wants to gain fame."

A group of Chen family masters were sitting in the yard.

"The parents who previously placed those children are almost going crazy with anxiety. They are looking for people with connections to get them out of the city, and the streets are crowded with people," said an old man.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this time it will be the Fu family."

"Not only the Fu family, Fu Ziyan also went there, and the students from the Ancient Flute Society also went there... At this moment, they are also surrounding the gate of Yi Garden. Liao Chengyi has once again ordered the arrest of people, and this time there are even more people involved."

The old man of the Chen family sighed and said, "Let's see how they plan to save people this time. In the past, they always acted noble, especially the Fu family, who refused to lend the garden and acted like a noble person."

"They would never have dreamed that their descendants would cause trouble for others like this. Let's see if they can continue to pretend to be noble this time, or if they have to bow their heads and beg for help." Several masters said with a look of ridicule.

As he was talking, someone came hurriedly, "Sir, the scholars from the city are here too, including Scholar Lin, Scholar Jiang, and the Wen family, about thirty or so people, all with dishevelled hair, all going to Yi Garden."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the masters at the gates of the yard were stunned. Having disheveled hair was an extremely disrespectful demeanor. As for the character of scholars, these people who always claimed to be noble, now like this...what are they planning to do?

"I heard they were going there to study."

Old Master Chen and others were surprised.

"Why are these scholars joining in the fun?" someone blurted out.

Scholars with official titles are different from students, especially Scholar Lin, who has made a lot of achievements in the past few years. Anyone in a family who can become the head of a scholar must have something to rely on.

The yard was quiet for a moment, and then a servant tiptoed outside the door and ran to the window of Chen Junhe's study.

"Master, Master, I have news for you. Something happened again."

The window opened a crack with a sound, and the servant immediately passed on the new news. The students from the Ancient Flute Society had also gone, and that Mr. Lin had also gone... The city was very lively now. He talked for a long time but got no response. Maybe he said too much and scared the young master.

"Master, Master, the three elders have said that there is a big trouble in the city right now, but it is enough to worry them. They used to laugh at us for fawning on them, but this time...Master, Master..." The servant reached out and knocked on the window again, but there was still no response.

This is not right. In the past, no matter how much I said, the young master would always respond to me. No way, the servant had a thought in his heart. No, no, this is a restricted study room. The servant bent down and looked inside. The study room was empty and there was no shadow of that person.

"Master...Master...Master is missing." The servant shouted. "Where did the Master go? Where could the Master go?"
