When Chu Ci received the news, he was explaining to Zhang Wenhai the usage of blackboard and chalk.

These things were transported from the next house by carriage yesterday. There were 20 foldable iron blackboards in total, and there were several boxes of chalk of various colors. Because they had been floating on the sea for a long time, the chalk was a little damp. At this moment, they were all taken apart.

Then, place it on the mat to dry.

Chu Ci was naturally very happy. He was forced to put it out not long after the Ministry of Works made the blackboard and chalk. Now with this, sending a notification can be more convenient.

The letters sent by Kou Jing were almost at the same time. The letters sent by Kou Jing were placed in a big bag and were sent by the local postmaster himself. Chu Ci counted them and there were twelve letters in total. Kou Jing was probably

He wrote a letter to him at a frequency of one letter every half a month, but for some reason, the letter has not been delivered, and this time it was finally sent.

Chu Ci arranged the letters according to time, and then took them apart one by one. He originally thought that Kou Jing would express his feelings in the letter, saying "I don't see you for a day, it's like three autumns" or "There are trees in the mountains."

Love words like "Wuyouzhi" ended up being very plain, and they looked even worse than when they were pure brotherly love back then.

Chu Ci felt a little strange. Could it be that Kou Jing was afraid that the letter would be opened and then discovered their feelings, so he was so restrained? Moreover, these letters always look a little awkward, and I feel that the preface is inconsistent.

The words are like some content being intercepted in the middle. Judging from Kou Jing's usual writing style, it seems unlikely. But some obscure points also show that this is indeed Kou Jing's habit of speaking, it is really called

People are in conflict.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he carefully checked it. The fire seal outside the letter was intact, without any trace of being removed, and his handwriting was also owned by Kou Jing himself.

Chu Ci thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he summarized all this in Kou Jing's cautiousness. However, it's still right to be cautious. Chu Ci also paid attention to the letters sent to him, even if others took them apart.

After reading it, I only think that they are close friends and friends, and at most they are closer than others.

After reading these letters, Chu Ci properly hid them in the secret compartment at the head of the bed, then returned to the table to lay paper and grind ink, and wrote back letters one by one.

After writing, he took out the envelopes, put them up, then dripped wax and sealed them, put them in the package, took them out and asked someone to help him run and send them to the inn to send them.

After Chu Ci watched the man go out, he turned around and saw Zhang Wenhai circling around a blackboard, and from time to time he would knock on it with his hands or fans. He seemed to want to figure out these black iron sheets that had been painted.

usefulness.

"Have I asked you to write the policy statement?" Chu Ci suddenly asked, which scared Zhang Wenhai. He patted his chest with lingering fear and said, "Brother Chu, it's so scary!

Yes, I have already written a mere strategy. "After saying that, I raised an eyebrow to Chu Ci.

He looked very proud, but Chu Ci prefers the embarrassment when he was rushing to do his homework. Chu Ci felt that his problems were mainly due to the fact that he had too little schoolwork, so he immediately asked Zhang Wenhai to record them.

Go back to write.

Zhang Wenhai's expression was as bright as the top of the thunder. He twitched a few times, but he didn't dare to resist Chu Ci. Before leaving, he made a small request, hoping that Chu Ci could tell him the function of the iron sheet in front of him.

Chu Ci agreed generously. He took out a piece of chalk from the mat next to him, wrote a poem on the blackboard, and then outlined the contents of the poem with simple drawings.

The simple strokes are a little different from others. The style is simple and yet the shape is not lost. Zhang Wenhai suddenly fell into the pit and tried it with a piece of chalk. Chu Ci stood by and pointed out the country, teaching him how to hold the pen and how to start writing.

Strength.

At this time, someone suddenly came to the door to spread the word that the prefect sent a team of people to come and shouted to see him.

"Hmm?" Chu Ci's voice rose slightly, as if he was a little confused, "Please come in."

Indeed, the prefect's office had nothing to do with him. If there was any, it would be Jiang Dahai nearest, but this matter was very wide, so they could not have come so blatantly.

"Mr. Chu, I am here to inform you about a matter of being ordered by the magistrate: Several scholars beat the drum and jointly sued you. This happened in front of everyone, even if the magistrate refused to do so in every way.

, he had to accept the complaint, and the court was scheduled to begin tomorrow. At that time, he would also ask the adults to send someone to court."

After hearing this, Chu Ci suddenly laughed. The prefect was probably very happy after hearing this news. How could he be reluctant? He has been an official for so long and has already memorized the laws of the Great Wei in his heart in his spare time. Naturally, he knew

Those who have fame and fortune can be exempted from going to court.

But, he thought he had a clear conscience, wasn’t he just going to court? He had to be the first person in the Great Wei Dynasty and go to court to defend himself!

...

The next day, as soon as Chen Shi arrived, the magistrate's office was already surrounded by water. Since ancient times, there have been very few cases of people suing officials, so of course they cannot miss this opportunity to be present and watch.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, the prefect's yamen opened. A group of yamen held water and fire sticks, rhythmically knocking on the floor, chanting "Wei...wu..."

The prefect walked out slowly in a red official dress, with a serious expression and a very majestic appearance. He sat in the court and slapped the gavel hard. The audience immediately became so quiet that there was no sound at all.

"Take the plaintiff's person to the court."

The order was passed down one by one. After a while, Wang Lisong and several other masters were brought up.

Among them, Wang Lisong and two other masters had a scholar named Hongming, and they were allowed to kneel when they saw the official, so they just bowed and bowed for a long time, while the others knelt down honestly.

"The person in the hall, I have read the paper you handed over yesterday. You said that Zhangzhou Prefecture asked to study Chuci and ignored the saint's will and acted as he pleased. In a few words, he closed the private school approved by the court, and wanted to deprive his subordinates of his master of his livelihood.

, This is what makes local children unable to study?”

Magistrate Lu read the complaint they handed over several times yesterday. He had to admit in his heart that they did have two brushes. Not only did they use precise words, but they resonate with them. The points of the complaint are also very important. It can be seen that the writing paper is written.

People know something very well.

"Report to the Lord, this matter is absolutely true. There is a document recently issued by the Tixue Department as evidence. The red paper and black text on it are clearly written. I copied a copy below. Please check it out." Wang Lisong took it out from his arms.

He took out a roll of paper, held the yamen staff next to him with both hands, and handed it over to him.

Priest Lu unfolded the roll of paper, which was exactly the same as what Wang Lisong said.

"Since that's the case, I will invite Lord Chu to come and ask why this document was issued, causing complaints from the bottom. If his behavior is really deviant, I will give the Governor a note to explain the matter.

.” Prefect Lu looked selfless and seemed to be very concerned about them.

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Lisong and others hurriedly thanked.

"Ti Xuesi sent someone here?" Prime Minister Lu asked loudly.

"Sir Qibing, you haven't come yet."

Prefect Lu was furious: "It's so outrageous. Even if he doesn't have his own official position in his eyes, he shouldn't be able to tell the truth. How could he not come to this court if he couldn't come?"

The people outside the yamen also talked a lot, and their evaluation of Chu Ci immediately became very low, and they also complained to their prefect.

"Go and invite him again, if he insists on not sending someone to come, then—"

"How about it?" A voice sounded from behind, and the people at the door consciously retreated to both sides, leaving a passage in the middle for the two to go parallel.

Chu Ci walked in from the passage, bowed to the prefect Lu casually, and said, "The prefect is so patient. Chu just delayed it because of an accident. He saw that I came to the court in person, so he knew that I was not.

It’s someone who can’t tell the truth and despise the court. Please don’t be too careful.”

The people began to discuss again, thinking that Lord Chu was considered a responsible person, and he actually took the court himself instead of sending someone to deal with him.

Prefect Lu showed a hypocritical smile: "I thought Lord Chu would not come anymore. Since there was something to delay it, it would be fine. Lord Chu would come in person. After all, the official document was published by someone. If you are willing to explain it clearly in person,

Intention, that's the best."
