Changsheng starts from Tiangang 36

Chapter 36 Reason!
"They entered Zhenwuhou Mansion!"

"Remember what happened at the East Gate six days ago?"

"Why don't you remember that someone committed a crime in the street, and the soldiers of the East Gate rode on horseback and hacked, their heads were like melons, tsk tsk, rolled all over the street!"

"Hou Men is full of grievances, and his flesh and blood often hurt himself!"

In front of the gate of Zhenwuhou's Mansion, more and more people gathered. Seeing the two teenagers supporting each other and the maid who was carried into the Marquis' Mansion on a stretcher, they all pointed and their voices grew louder.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Xuanxin, Lord Hou asked you to go to the living room!"

Just as Jiang Li stepped into the gate of the Marquis Mansion, Qiu Tianhai, the manager, has been waiting for a long time.

"I'm going to find my father, please lead the way!"

Jiang Li nodded, his face unchanged, and Jiang Xuanxin beside him heard the word Hou Ye, his originally pale face became a little lighter.

Chuchu's small fists were also clenched tightly, her palms were covered with sweat, she looked worriedly at Jiang Li who was walking ahead, tears rolled in her eyes.

All the servants in the Hou Mansion knew that the son Zhenwu Hou disliked the most.

Can Lord Hou really uphold justice for the young master?

The three followed Qiu Tianhai all the way, and half a moment later they came to a majestic building.

In the depths of the lobby, sat a middle-aged man in a golden silk python robe and a purple gold crown. His hair was as black as ink, and his big hands were pressed on the armrests of the wide chair, giving him a feeling of power and endless power.

Majestic and powerful, not to be violated.

It seems that the mountains of the Five Sacred Mountains have to bow their heads before him.

Seeing Jiang Li and Jiang Xuanxin walk in, Jiang Shirong's long and narrow eyes glowed brightly, and an unprecedented strong sense of oppression immediately weighed on their hearts.

"Jiang Li, you unruly idiot, what evil intentions do you have to provoke criticism for my town Wuhou Mansion!"

A vicious and harsh voice came from the top seat, beside Jiang Shirong, Marquis of Zhenwu, sat two graceful and luxurious middle-aged women.

One of them was dressed in a concubine's red frowning golden begonia flower dress, towering cloud temples, and a peacock double-flying hairpin on her head. She had slender eyebrows and slightly raised cheekbones, giving her a feeling of ice-coldness.

It was another middle-aged woman who spoke.

She was wearing a jade-colored gold-embroidered orchid gauze shirt, with fair complexion and soft facial contours, but for some reason, when she spoke at this time, she had a sinister face with sharp teeth.

"Mr. Ning, Lord Hou hasn't spoken yet, you still have rules in your eyes!" He Lou frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice.

"Master Hou, sister, I was just short-tempered for a while. It's such a misfortune for the family to have such a corrupt son like Jiang Li in the house!"

The second wife Ning hurriedly laughed along, but her pair of phoenix eyes stared fiercely at the two teenagers in the middle of the hall, very resentful.

"Meet Father!"

Jiang Li and Jiang Xuanyao took a step forward and saluted at the same time.

Chuchu didn't come in, her status was low, so she could only wait outside the door.

"Jiang Li, this is a poem written by you!"

Jiang Shirong looked at his two sons expressionlessly, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and no one knew what he was thinking.

With a flick of the fingers, a page of paper flew lightly and landed on the carpet in front of Jiang Li.

"I wrote the poem!" Jiang Li nodded.

"You bastard, what do you want to do by spreading such tell-tale poems along the street? Are you dissatisfied with my disallowing you to visit the Confucian Temple? Do you want to ruin my reputation in front of the Holy One and the people?"

Jiang Shirong's tone was calm but cold.

"Father, Jiang Li is just telling the truth. Six days ago, Xuan Xin and I went to worship outside the city, but we were attacked by bandits, and some ascetics turned into evil monsters and crows to chase them all the way. I thought that after entering the city, I would be at peace, but I never thought The slaves in the Hou Mansion are also extremely vicious, pretending to be our father and besieging and intercepting us..."

Jiang Li spoke neither humble nor overbearing, but he never raised his head to look at Jiang Shirong from the beginning to the end.

"My country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. People don't pick up things on the road, and they don't close their houses at night. Shengjing is the capital of the country. How can there be bandits and robbers!"

Jiang Shirong frowned slightly, the air in the hall immediately turned cold, and everyone felt their breathing tightened.

"Even if what you said is true, it's just a villain with malicious intentions. Go to the government office to report to the officials, and the officials will uphold justice for you. As for the evil anger and injury to the Lord, it's just your imagination. You talk slanderously, soliciting public opinion. , What is the intention of pouring sewage on my brother?" Jiang Shirong asked.

"I have a witness, whether it is me telling the truth to frame my brother, or my brother has evil intentions and wants to kill them all, my father will find out after he investigates!"

Jiang Ligong said: "All the servants of the Hou Mansion who chased and killed me that day were brought to the Hou Mansion, and there was also a hired bandit on the accompanying carriage!"

"enough!"

Jiang Shirong clapped his big hands on the armrest of the big chair and made a dull sound. He reprimanded in a cold voice: "It's just a trivial matter, it's worth spending a lot of time, no matter what the result is, it seems that my Zhenwuhou Mansion has lost the rules and broken the style of the family." .

"Since the lives of the two of you are safe, let's retreat separately! Jiang Li, I think it's your first offence. This time, you have the right to write it down. If you offend again, you will not be forgiven. As for the public opinion turmoil you caused in Shengjing City, I will send you an order." Calm down!"

"Father!"

Jiang Li was expelled by his father, unmoved, he slowly raised his head, looked at the majestic and extremely strange minister of Da Zhou in front of him, cupped his hands and said: "You are a master of Neo Confucianism, you should know things well, whether you are studying or solving cases, We must face the truth and pursue the laws of reason, everything in the world is reasonable, how can we generalize it."

"Learn from things!"

Jiang Shirong's eyes moved slightly, and a strange light flashed in an instant.

He is a master of Neo-Confucianism in the world, advocating the preservation of the principles of nature and the elimination of human desires, the three cardinal guides and the five constant principles, and the distinction between principles. He only felt that Jiang Li's sentence "to learn from things to know" was concise and down to the essence, and contained many truths worth thinking about, which greatly touched him.

"Father, there is no slight difference in reasoning, and there is no error in dealing with things!"

Jiang Li suddenly took a step towards Jiang Shirong, who was seated at the top, and said loudly: "The so-called gentleman does not cover himself up with a single bit of selfishness, does not tire himself out with a single bit of selfish desire, and when he is born in the world, he should be upright, reasonable, I have a clear conscience, my father is a master of the world, a gentleman of Confucianism, he should clearly judge right from wrong and uphold justice.

"If it turns out that Jiang Li has slandered his elder brother and wanted to beat or kill him, Jiang Li will not hesitate to say anything, but there are people in the mansion who disregard brotherly affection, I believe that father will never take sides for personal reasons!"

Jiang Li's words are convincing and upright. Although he is small, there is an aura rising from him.

"Little bastard, you are so courageous to force your father with reason!" The second wife Ning stood up and scolded Jiang Li angrily.

Jiang Shirong was a master of Confucianism at that time, a figure like a master, with a firm and unshakable literary heart.

Jiang Li has reason and evidence, and his words are all reasonable and moral. If Jiang Shirong wants to keep his literary heart alive, he can only agree.

How could the Ning family watch the truth being completely revealed!
"What does Second Madam mean?" Jiang Li said with a smile on his lips, "Do you think that father is just a duplicity, not a person who really upholds reason?"

"Little bastard, when did I say such a thing, you have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, don't want to spit blood!"

Ning's complexion changed suddenly, and she looked at Jiang Shirong, and found that Master Hou's complexion had also turned gloomy and cold at this time.

Ning was anxious, but no matter what, she didn't dare to speak again.

"Jiang Li, your book is not in vain!"

Jiang Shirong looked at the concubine in front of him again, his body leaned forward slightly, the swords and guns in his eyes swirled, but finally subsided.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance!"

Jiang Shirong suddenly smiled: "However, how can the verbal testimony of bandits and servants be trusted? Bringing them to the hall for interrogation will also lose my identity. If you can provide other evidence, I will believe you once!"

"Father, Xuan Xin can testify!" Jiang Li said.

"Oh?"

Jiang Shirong was startled, looked at Jiang Xuanxin, and said in a serious tone, "Xuanxin, is Jiang Li's words true?"

"Father……"

Jiang Xuanxin felt Zhenwuhou's gaze, and the fear and awe rooted in his heart for more than ten years suddenly rushed to his heart, drowning him like a tide.

He opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound!
