Chapter 167 Listen to the sound
This scene was so shocking.
Chu Minghui swallowed his saliva, his eyes envious and annoyed, and he murmured: "...... It's amazing to shout this sentence like this... I should say it first..."
Xue Qing saw that the boy could still stand firm, and his hands holding the bamboo stick loosened a little... The students got crazy. It was indeed terrible... I had to control it...
The young man raised the book in front of his eyes, raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes blocked by blood, and shook his hands and trembled with his voice: "...If a person treats himself, it is better if he sees his lungs and liver..."
This is just now when everyone read the place, and the students around them also recited it again.
"...This means sincerity is in the middle and manifestation is outside, so a gentleman must be careful of his own..."
No matter how big the Shuangyuan is, it is just a garden. Through several houses, the sound of reading outside is still coming in.
"Zhang Nian, listen..." Zhang Liantang stood by the window and pointed outside.
The guards stood outside the window, and everyone dared not approach each other in daily life, let alone talk outside, but this timid and bold boy dared to do this.
After getting along with each other, Zhang Nian's mind recovered a lot, and he recognized Zhang Liantang... When he recognized him, he fainted again. If someone like Zhang Liantang was arrested, he would definitely be helpless.
Zhang Nian hid behind the people and squeezed in the corner of the wall. He heard a loud voice raised his head and said, "What?"
Zhang Liantang said: "The sound of reading."
Everyone in the room listened to it, and it was indeed faintly heard, and they looked a little surprised. What happened?
Zhang Liantang said: "This is my classmates with us."
The people who were originally surprised suddenly became frightened. This clearly means that there were students outside who came to cause trouble. Before Zhang Nian could react, he daidai: "So what can..."
Zhang Liantang no longer talked to him but approached the window again, listening to the outside, and through the cracks that blocked the leather and wooden boards, the sound of reading seemed to be closer... He suddenly fed him.
The sudden sound scared everyone.
Zhang Liantang held the window with his hand and whispered out loudly: "Are you studying?"
Who? There was only the guard outside the door.... There was a silence, and after a moment, a hoarse voice came: "Yes."
It turned out to be the person next door! Everyone was so scared that they all squeezed into the corner of the house. That person was the mastermind behind the killing Zongzhou! He was tortured by Lord Duan every now and then. Everyone was arrested because they were regarded as his accomplice and could not avoid being separated from the relationship. Why did he take the initiative to come up and talk?
This boy is not a lunatic.
Zhang Liantang was closer to the window, and through the narrow gap, he could only see the night, saying, "Are you Zhong Shisan?"
This time, Zhang Liantang asked again with a loud voice, and then the hoarse voice rang out again: "Yes... I lost one ear, and the other one was also injured, so I can't hear you clearly."
One ear was missing and the other was injured. You can imagine what kind of punishment he was punished, so he said it lightly.
Zhang Liantang was silent.
Zhong Shisan's voice continued: "I was studying in college outside... My sutra is the Four Books... When I was taking the exam for scholars, it was more than ten years ago... I often recited loudly like this at that time..." When he said this, the hoarse voice was filled with recollections, and paused again, with a little regret, "...Where are they reading now?...I can't hear it."
Zhang Liantang checked about Zhong Shisan's incident. He was indeed a young scholar who was promising. At the age of thirteen, he was a rare young scholar who passed the third exam... All his ambitions disappeared with the destruction of the family. He silently for a moment and raised his voice and said, "Do you think reading is useful?"
Reading did not save his family and did not bring him good luck.
A few laughs came from over there. Perhaps the laughter touched the wound, and the cough started to cough again, and the sound became intermittent: "It's useful, and reading is of course useful. Look, it's very happy that I can follow the book at this time, and that's enough."
Asking for the morning and saying, it’s okay to die in the evening… Zhang Liantang was silent, smiled again, and said loudly: “Now they read the poem: The peaches are young and their leaves are lush, and their sons are back…”
The hoarse voice over there followed: "... It is suitable for his family. It is suitable for his family, and then you can teach the people of the country. The poem says: It is suitable for brothers and brothers. It is suitable for brothers and younger brothers, and then you can teach the people of the country..."
A group of people crowded together in the dark room, looking terrified and confused. Listening to the chanting sounds inside and outside the window, this was a weird and unimaginable scene.
.........
The news of students surrounding the Shuangyuan has reached the Zhang family, and the atmosphere in the Zhang family has become even more depressed and solemn.
"The master can't get out either." said one person, "The students' guilt is probably to be added to Liantang."
Old Master Zhang nodded.
"Has Liantang really been tortured? Otherwise, why would he say that?" A master said anxiously, "Duan Shan's methods are extremely cruel and no one can withstand it. Or Liantang really did this..."
"I didn't hear it at all..."
"They asked Xue Qing about it..."
"But at this time, nothing can be done, how could they not know?"
There were talks in the room.
Old Master Zhang, who had been silent, interrupted and said, "It's no longer important whether Liantang has done these things. The important thing is to rescue him... Write a letter to your second uncle in the capital... Please ask someone who can say hello, especially those who are familiar with Duan Shan, even if they can't get out for a while, they'd better be less guilty."
Everyone in the Zhang family responded.
"Old man, don't worry, either." Someone comforted him.
Old Master Zhang said: "I'm not in a hurry. Although this is unexpected, it's also expected."
As expected? The people present were a little puzzled.
Old Master Zhang gently stroked the tea bowl and said, "How can there be a complete egg when the nest is collapsed? Liao Chengduanshan and others are arrogant and arrogant. Who can guarantee that they will not hit them?" He smiled and his eyes fell on the messy paper on the table. It was a flyer found by the Zhang family from the street. "...I regard me, Chang'an as a suspect...I, Chang'an, and everyone is uneasy...I am actually right."
It’s not good to say this at this time, and the faces of the people in the room changed slightly.
"Old man, don't think too much. When you can see Liantang, ask what's going on." Everyone advised.
Old Master Zhang smiled and waved his hand to signal them to go. Everyone stepped out and just talked. The maids and maids avoided the lights in the room. Old Master Zhang did not ask anyone to come in and sat alone in the dark.
"Why can evil like Zongzhou exist for so long and no one can stop it? It's because there is a bigger evil behind it, and you can't see anyone or say it." He murmured, "What can you kids do if you make a fuss?"
