"Which way did they come?"

Xu Shan asked immediately.

"We're walking on the Plum Blossom Road!"

"Okay, very good."

"Yuan Fang."

"Have."

"Go gather the brothers from the patrol camp right now, and then head straight to Plum Blossom Road."

"Yes."

Zhang Liansong, who vaguely heard something, came up to his master and said, "Master, who are you targeting again?"

"You'll know in a moment."

"I want to dig up the roots of the Donglin Party."

Just as Xu Shan said this with a fierce look on his face, Lin Ruopu, who was being played like a monkey by several Jinyiwei, roared hysterically: "Xu Shan..."

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"

"what?"

"Minister Lin, are the Jinyiwei uncomfortable with their hairpins?"

"We are all warriors, but we can't compare with the hundreds of maids in their prime in your house."

"I heard that when it's cold, Prime Minister Lin uses their bodies to warm his feet."

"You are really a frog on a toad - ugly and playful!"

"Haha."

When Xu Shan finished speaking in public, many onlookers burst into laughter.

"Minister Lin, do you have hundreds of maids in their prime who are warming your bed?"

"You just know?"

“It’s extravagant and utterly decadent!”

"No, wasn't Prime Minister Lin advocating 'thrift and diligence' and 'establishing new customs' before? He advocated that everyone put an end to extravagance."

"Listen to him farting there!"

"What he advocates is directed against us."

"And he enjoys it however he wants."

"Looking at the disheveled and disheveled appearance of him when he was caught, you should have a rough idea."

"I guess it didn't stop even when I was under house arrest."

"Preaching in broad daylight?"

"Isn't this a complete hypocrite?"

"There's more to it than that. I heard..."

Thanks to the efforts of the water army, an unknown scene of Lin Ruopu became known to everyone at the scene.

Through word of mouth, Lin Ruopu, who was once an idol of many scholars, has become the spokesperson for a hypocritical person with a beastly heart and a sanctimonious appearance.

"Prime Minister Lin has some shame!"

"Don't waste too much time here."

"This will damage his reputation as the leader of the Donglin Party."

"Quick, escort him back."

"Yes."

Following Xu Shan's order, the Jinyiwei slowly mounted their horses.

Then, he followed his master closely and made a circle as if he was patrolling the streets!

Are you in a hurry to go back?

Is this for the sake of Prime Minister Lin's reputation?

This is like rubbing Prime Minister Lin’s face against the city wall!

'Clatter.'

Just as they were approaching Meihua Road, a group of students in scholar's uniforms rushed out quickly, led by their teacher.

Look at their uniform attire and the 'plum blossom' pattern embroidered on their chests.

Many people who had already recognized them blurted out, "These are the teachers and students from Donglin College?"

"The leader is none other than the president of Donglin College, Zhang Qianqiu, also known as Zhang Daru!"

"What are they doing here?"

"Need I say more? Of course I'm speaking up for Prime Minister Lin."

"Now there's something good to watch."

As everyone was discussing this, Xu Shan, who had reined in his horse, muttered softly, "Finally, I've waited for you guys."

Zhang Liansong, who vaguely heard this, asked cautiously, "Sir, are they the ones you're plotting against?"

"What do you say?"

The reason why the Donglin Party has remained in the court for so many years is because they have monopolized good students!

The students who graduated from Donglin Academy were branded as Donglin Party from the beginning of the imperial examination.

After entering the court as an official, he naturally followed Lin Ruopu's orders!

If we want to completely dismantle the Donglin Party, we must dig out their roots - Donglin College.

Therefore, when Xu Shan led his troops to the Lin Mansion to arrest people, he ordered people to activate the undercover agents of Donglin College, who spread the news that Xu Shan was seeking revenge and taking people to capture Lin Ruopu.

After the incident became a big deal, this statement was further confirmed, and teachers and students were encouraged to take to the streets to intercept and speak out for their rights.

"Xu Shan..."

"Why are you detaining Lord Lin?"

Zhang Qianqiu, who was walking in the front row, questioned in public.

"I am under orders to arrest someone, and I have no right to make any further announcements!"

Xu Shan, who had reined in his horse, answered slowly.

"you……"

"Minister Lin is the totem of Ming Dynasty scholars."

"You can just say 'I'm under order to arrest someone, and I have no further comment' and you think you can just brush us scholars off?"

"Today, if you don't give us a good reason..."

"We will just sit here and not leave."

'Uh-huh. '

As he spoke, Zhang Qianqiu took the lead and blocked the middle of the road.

The students who accompanied them followed suit.

At the huge intersection, a large group of people sat down at the same time.

It looks spectacular from a distance.

"As great scholars, you should know what crime it is to intercept people in the street and have them arrested by imperial envoy!"

"Not to mention encouraging all the students to join you."

"Retreat now. I will not argue with you."

"late……"

"As a clerk, I can only act according to the law."

"hehe!"

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Zhang Qianqiu sneered.

"Xu Shan, we have made it very clear."

"If you don't give us a satisfactory answer today..."

"All scholars would rather die than retreat!"

"He's the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you guys can just arrest him?"

"And parading them in public in this way?"

"A bunch of scoundrels, going too far!"

After he finished speaking, Xu Shan turned around and said with embarrassment, "Minister Lin, why don't you try to persuade them?"

"If I really make your story public, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined!"

What Xu Shan said was a trap in itself.

advise?

This shows that Lin Ruopu has something to hide.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext."

"A gentleman is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure!"

After hearing Lin Ruopu's passionate speech, both Zhang Qianqiu and the other students became even more angry.

“Let him go, let him go…”

The roars, one wave higher than the other, were deafening.

Such a passionate posture deeply moved them.

"Since I've given you a chance, why don't you cherish it?"

"That's offending."

Xu Shan, with a look of regret on his face, shouted after saying this: "Where is the patrol battalion?"

'Clatter.'

As Xu Shan finished speaking, Li Yuanfang, who had summoned the patrol battalion here, rushed out quickly with shields in hand.

After seeing this scene, the Donglin teachers and students, led by Zhang Qianqiu, quickly gathered together.

Especially after being surrounded, he stared at these people with a little panic.

"Xu Shan, if you dare to kill these scholars in the street, you will be cursed by the world." Lin Ruopu behind him shouted loudly.

His words calmed down the slightly panicked teachers and students of Donglin College.

"That's right, they don't dare to do it."

"Who are you trying to scare?"

"I, Zhang Qianqiu, am right here..."

"You dog official surnamed Xu, chop off my head right now."

"Come on, it was I who instigated the students to intercept the imperial envoy in the street and clear Prime Minister Lin's name."

"How dare you bear the infamy of all the scholars in the world?"

'bass! ’

'Sizzle.'
