Chapter 952 The Great Confucian Meets the Soldier

Zhou Dalang was very happy to hear that the soldiers patrolling the defense had captured a detailed work of the Qing army. He had just changed his flag anyway, so he caught a detailed work, and was tied up and taken to Huai'an Prefecture to ask for merit.

According to the patrol soldiers, the slim slim was arrested in the section near Shanyang County near the north end of Fangongdi with a few private salt dealers. At that time, the man was wrapped in a square scarf and claimed to be a merchant. However, the brothers were sharp-eyed and pulled the slim scarf and saw the braid on the slim head. After beating him, the slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim slim s

Zhou Dalang was eager to make contributions, so he asked County Magistrate Deng to arrest him. He wanted to pass the court himself and pry out some information from this Quiet Word. This also made him look smart and capable in Yancheng County and gave him a good impression.

After Xiaozuo was taken up, Zhou Dalang saw that Xiaozuo was a middle-aged man wearing a scholar's Confucian shirt, but it was torn and rotten, and bloody. He was limping when walking, thinking that he was beaten up by the soldiers.

Zhou Dalang didn't know if he was confused or what, but he always felt that although this fine work was extremely embarrassed, he felt a sense of a proud and righteous spirit on his body, not like a fine work that hides its head and tail.

Immediately, Dalang shook his head secretly and laughed at himself, feeling that he was too blind to his eyes and could treat a fine work as a big shot. He slapped the awkward with a sharp sound.

"Kneel down!"

County Magistrate Deng shouted loudly, and the yamen runners also knocked the water and fire sticks on the ground, trembling.

Unexpectedly, the Seizuo did not kneel down, but suddenly looked up at Zhou Dalang in the hall and asked, "I guess you are a local parent. Can you tell me which emperor is in power in this dynasty now?"

"Well?"

Zhou Dalang and County Magistrate Deng were both a little stunned when they heard this detailed question. Since they were meticulous, how could they not know that this dynasty was now in power in the throne of Emperor Dingwu? Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not know what kind of meticulous work is? Then the Qing army could not send a fool, right?

Zhou Dalang felt something was wrong, so he asked the detailed work: "Who are you?"

Then he did not answer carefully, and said, "Who am I? Don't worry, let me first tell me which emperor is in power in this dynasty?"

This exquisite worker looked extremely calm, without any fear, and his eyes were not wandering and evasive. His expression became more and more majestic, which made Zhou Dalang confused. He wondered who the other party was. He suspected that the other party was lost in the civil royal family. He heard that the Ming Dynasty restored the Nandu to join him, and was worried about offending the other party, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Now the one in this dynasty is the Emperor Dingwu."

"Emperor Dingwu?"

After listening carefully, he was stunned at first, and then he looked disappointed. He pondered silently, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he asked again: "Where is Emperor Yongli?"

"I don't know about this official."

After Zhou Dalang finished speaking, he looked at County Magistrate Deng. The two looked at each other. Although they had no words, they thought that they would go together and this person was afraid that they would not be a meticulous work.

At this time, I heard the delicate voice say, "Gou Yanwu, going down to Kunshan!"

After writing this name carefully, Zhou Dalang stood up from the chair in shock, and County Magistrate Deng also shouted: "Mr. Tinglin?!"

"Are you really Mr. Tinglin?"

Zhou Dalang, the great name of Gu Yanwu in Kunshan, is like thunder. Although he had realized that something was wrong with this fine work, he could not connect this person with Gu Yanwu, a great scholar in Jiangnan.

When the yamen runners saw the appearance of the two adults, they were confused. They didn't know who this immortal Gu Yanwu was, who could make the county magistrate so disobedient.

Gu Yanwu bowed his hand and said frankly: "Gu Yanwu is Gu Yanwu. What am I pretending to do? If you don't believe me, take out my private seal from the soldiers who tied me up."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Deng hurriedly ordered the soldiers who had bound Gu Yanwu to hand over the things they had searched for from Gu Yanwu. The soldiers now understood that they were afraid that they had offended the big man, so they quickly handed over the things.

County Magistrate Deng picked up some of the articles from it, and found Gu Yanwu's private seal, read the books that Gu Yanwu carried with him, and ordered someone to find Gu Yanwu's collection of essays. After a comparison, there was no doubt. Who else was the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him?

"Why did you catch Mr. Lin from Kunshan as a meticulous work? It's really a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. You can't recognize Mount Tai!"

"Since it's Mr. Tinglin, why didn't you say it earlier? Please come and sit down!"

Zhou Dalang and County Magistrate Deng rushed towards Gu Yanwu almost at the same time. They supported Gu Yanwu from the left and right, and asked Gu Yanwu to sit down without saying anything. As for the confusion between the two, Gu Yanwu was in trouble. No matter how great he was a great scholar, he was like that scholar, and he was indescribable to see soldiers.

Three years ago, after Gu Yanwu visited Xiaoling, he returned to Kunshan to sell his property and made a great wish that he would travel all over the mountains and rivers in the north, thinking that he would prepare to restore the country in the future. He was alone and traveled unpredictably, and his footprints were spreading across Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi, Henan and other places, and had to travel thousands of miles. Except for a few friends who knew where he was, no one outsiders knew. In order to avoid the Qing court's search, he also used pseudonyms and suffered a lot. Therefore, he knew nothing about what happened in the south.

Last twelfth month, Gu Yanwu went north to Shanhaiguan. He originally wanted to go outside the pass to see Jinzhou and the old place of Daling River, but because of the Qing Dynasty blockade, the Han people were not allowed to leave the pass, so he had to pay tribute to Shanhaiguan an ancient battlefield. After leaving Shanhaiguan, he wanted to go to Shanxi and go out of the entrance, but halfway through, he heard a fur caravan coming from Henan saying that the war situation in the south had changed drastically. Emperor Fulin went south and returned. Now Nanjing has been restored by the Ming army, and the Ming Dynasty has made a comeback.

This news surprised Gu Yanwu and was happy. He immediately gave up and went out of the mouth, turned around and returned to Jiangnan, thinking that the Ming Dynasty would serve. However, due to the unfavorable war, the Qing court's control over the north became more and more powerful. There were many checkpoints in various places to check pedestrians. Gu Yanwu could not pass, so he had to hire a boat in Tianjin with the help of his friends to go south.

After the ship arrived in Haizhou, the owner of the ship refused to go south again. Gu Yanwu had no choice but to go ashore in a fishing village along the coast of Haizhou. At that time, Haizhou was still under the control of the Qing army, so Gu Yanwu did not dare to walk the official road, so he had to grope south along the beach. On the way, several men selling private salt were hit. Seeing that Gu Yanwu had a very special exit, they were knowledgeable people, so he took him with him and took care of him. When he arrived at Fangong Dike in Yancheng, he was arrested by soldiers from Yancheng County.

It was not that Gu Yanwu had not come forward to say that he was Gu Tinglin of Kunshan, but the soldiers did not know his name at all. They only regarded him as a Qing army and beat him half to death. The louder he told who he was, the more fierce the soldiers would be. Gu Yanwu knew that he was a scholar and met a soldier, so he couldn't say anything, so he simply stopped talking and allowed these soldiers to take him to the county town. Otherwise, God would know whether these big-headed soldiers who had no idea about Mount Tai would beat him to death.

"I feel so wronged. Those bastards don't know anything about Taishan, so the students turn around and deal with them!"

After hearing Gu Yanwu's recounting the "customs" he suffered in Yancheng County, Zhou Dalang's face was very embarrassed. Who is Gu Yanwu? He is the leader of Jiangnan Shilin, and his prestige is not inferior to Qian Qianyi. Not only Jiangnan, but also the whole country, who dares to disrespect Gu Yanwu at all? As a result, he was bullied by the big soldiers in his jurisdiction. It is reported that the world's Shilin might scold him to death.

County Magistrate Deng also apologized to Gu Yanwu while wiping cold sweat. Fortunately, Gu Yanwu is a generous person, and he doesn't blame him for breaking the matter if he doesn't know. This reason can be regarded as a comfort to himself. Otherwise, would he be a great scholar really be able to argue with a group of big soldiers?

Zhou Dalang asked courageously: "But I don't know what happened to me when I came to Yancheng?"

Gu Yanwu did not hide it from him, and said bluntly that he heard that Nandu was revived and returned from the north. Now he wanted to go to Nandu.

After hearing this, Zhou Dalang hurriedly said that Yancheng County would prepare the carriage and escort Gu Yanwu to Nandu. Gu Yanwu suffered too much along the way, and suffered from flesh and blood in Yancheng County, so he did not refuse at the moment.

That night, Zhou Dalang and County Chief Deng welcomed Gu Yanwu in the county government. During the meal, they invited several famous gentry gentry in the county to accompany him. Everyone was very excited to learn that Gu Yanwu was here, and shouted "Mr. Tinglin" one by one, which made Gu Yanwu, who had been alone in the north for three years, feel very moved.
