Be a master through ancient times

"...My lord, the reason why the villagers of Xialian Village don't like Wang Lisong is because of a child named Xia Bai. This man's parents are dead, and there is only one grandfather who is handicapped in his family. Life is very difficult. Wang Lisong pities him when he was young. After going through ups and downs, he was exempted from repairs, never received money for lunch, and often bought him paper, pen and ink. Some local villagers felt resentful because of this, thinking that he was acting unfairly and being too partial. And Wang Lisong is an upright person, and he is always outspoken when encountering injustice, and the villagers think he is a bit unreasonable."

Ah Tie honestly reported to Chu Ci the information he got from his brother.Chu Ci listened and couldn't help but touch his forehead.

This is clearly the story of Sheng Mien and Dou Michou.Wang Lisong was so kind to them that it made them feel that it was a matter of course.When he behaves slightly improperly, the villagers will attack him together.

In fact, sometimes it is better for people to be a little "evil".Didn’t you see what was written in the Buddhist scriptures?A good person needs to go through untold hardships to become a Buddha, and only by practicing good fruits for a hundred lifetimes can he attain the Tao.But it only takes a second for a bad person to become a Buddha, because he puts down the butcher knife and becomes a Buddha immediately.

Of course, this kind of "evil" is not really doing bad things, but that you need to have principles in your actions, and you should not blindly obey others.When a submissive person rejects others once in a while, he will definitely feel much more malice than when he rejects others frequently.

Wang Lisong is a typical example.He is wholeheartedly thinking about Xialian Village, and he is not even afraid of being punished.Chu Ci thought that he probably didn't know what the villagers there thought of him.

"There is no need to go to Xialian Village. What about Jiang Lin? Have you caught him?" Chu Ci is very concerned about this matter now.May I ask if there is someone who is always hiding in the dark and plotting to harm you, would you be happy?There are people who can harm people for a thousand days in the world, but there is no one who can defend people for a thousand days.The best way to face this kind of person is to defeat him so that he has no chance to do anything again.

Ah Tie nodded, if Chu Ci didn't ask him, he would have said it.

"My lord, Jiang Lin has already been captured, now you want to bring it up for questioning?"

"Bring it here." Chu Ci wanted to see who this person was.

After a while, Ah Tie walked in with a slightly plump man.The man looked terrified and seemed terrified.When he saw Chu Ci for the first time, he immediately knelt down.

"My lord, please forgive me, I really don't know anything. Although Jiang Dahai and I are uncles and nephews, we are not close at all. What he committed has nothing to do with me!"

As soon as Chu Ci heard it, he knew that this person should regard them as the magistrate's yamen.Ever since Jiang Dahai was caught, his family members have been taken in for questioning.As his nephew, Jiang Lin naturally couldn't escape.

Chu Ci was wrong, and he didn't deny his words, but asked, "What did you do in Zhongnan Lane four days ago? Tell me honestly, and you are not allowed to hide anything."

"Four days ago?" Jiang Lin pondered for a long time, and then his eyes lit up, "Four days ago, the villain didn't go to Zhongnan Alley, but went to the west side of the city. There was a new gambling house opened in the west of the city that day, and I wanted to go there. By luck, I invited a few people to go together. We stayed there for a day before coming out."

Chu Ci was suspicious, but the expression on his face remained the same. He said, "Are you sure you went there four days ago? Didn't you deliberately deceive me? You should know that I only need to find someone to go out and investigate to find out the truth."

Jiang Lin was in a hurry, "My lord, what I said is absolutely true. I remember it very clearly, it was that day. That day was the Shangsi Festival, and my grandmother ordered someone to pick a lot of orchid grass, saying that she would bathe with orchid soup to dispel evil spirits. "

Chu Ci carefully observed his expression and movements when he was speaking, and when he found out that he was indeed not lying, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Is there any man in your family who is about your age?"

Jiang Lin shook his head, "No, I'm the only man in the third room of the Jiang family, and the rest are all daughters."

"Then did your uncle ever befriend any young men?"

When Jiang Lin heard about his uncle, he immediately became anxious, "My lord, I really don't know about him. He has always looked down on me, never willing to take me with him, so how could he tell me about him?"

Seeing that his head was about to sweat, Chu Ci knew that he would not get any useful information, so he had to ask Ah Tie to send him away.

After sending Jiang Lin away, Chu Ci asked Ah Tie to go to Xialian Village and ask Wang Lisong about his appearance, not letting go of every detail.

Ah Tie didn't ask Chu Ci why he just said that he didn't have to go and then went there in a blink of an eye.Just like what Butler Xu said, he just carries out the order and doesn't care about anything else.

In the evening, Chu Ci was sitting in front of the window reading a book. Suddenly, Ah Tie turned over and jumped off the roof, which shocked Chu Ci.

"My lord, let me ask you clearly. Jiang Lin is about 25 or six, five feet seven inches tall, and thin..."

"Wait!" Chu Ci hurriedly interrupted him, "You speak too fast, let me write it down!" As he spoke, he took out a brush from the pen holder and dipped it in ink, and then wrote what Ah Tie had just said. Write it down on paper.

Ah Tie waited for him to remember, and then went on to say, "This man has a long face, white and beardless, long and thin eyebrows, downturned eyebrows, narrow and long eyes, flat nose bridge, thin upper lip and thick lower lip... His left foot seems to have been injured. , a little high and low when walking, wearing a pair of soap-colored short boots with cloud patterns embroidered on them."

After he finished the long list, he frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It's gone."

Chu Ci didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looking at the long string of words on the paper, he knew that this was caused by his previous order of "don't let go of any detail".

However, these detailed descriptions can make the people he draws closer to reality.Anyway, he couldn't sleep at night, so Chu Ci simply took out the drawing paper and began to paint according to what Ah Tie had just described.

In the dead of night, it is especially conducive to painting.In less than an hour, Chu Ci drew the man.He took the painting and looked at it carefully, and finally found to his disappointment that he didn't seem to have seen this person at all.

He thought about posting notices to look for this person, but there was no evidence, and posting it would scare the snake away.Forget it, at least he probably knows what this person looks like, and if similar things happen again in the future, he will have a primary suspect.

As long as the other party still wants to harm him, they won't stay dormant in the dark all the time.The more he moves, the more likely he is to give away.

Chu Ci put away the painting, got up and walked around a few times, then turned off the lights and rested.

……

On the [-]th day of March, Chuci called a meeting with all the personnel in the Zhangzhou prefecture's education system. The content of the meeting was how to persuade those children to go to school.

They have gone to various villages and towns to conduct publicity before, and the preliminary work is well prepared.Now, it is time for the official dispatch.

When all the people attending the meeting met each other's eyes, they all saw the reluctance in each other's eyes, but there was nothing they could do. Master Chu had divided the entire Zhangzhou Mansion into several areas, and each area would send some people to take charge of the matter.Ten days later, depending on the results, which region's people have persuaded the most to enroll, the rewards they will receive will be richer, and at the end of the year assessment, they will be directly rated as Grade A.This thing is very important for those who want to climb up.

Of course, there are rewards and punishments.If the enrollment rate of people in any area does not meet the minimum standard of Chuci, then this group of people will have to be sent to various villages and towns next year to inspect the schools until the children there pass the examination papers of the Department of Education.

Therefore, even if some people don't go for rewards, they have to work hard to avoid impunity.

The most active ones are probably the officials under the Tixue Division and the Sub-Xundao.As temporary workers with no establishment, their treatment has always been inferior to others, but they do more than others.But who told them that they have no fame and fame, so they can only accept their fate.

But now, Chu Ci has promised them that as long as they perform outstandingly in this work of persuading students, they can consider directly becoming a full-time member.In order to become a formal worker, they will go all out to do it.
