The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Chapter 39 Wang Yu among all living beings
"How dare you talk too much?"

A few scoundrels came up and pulled the Confucian scholar's turban, and the Confucian scholar quickly defended him.

When he heard the other party say Gao Yin's name, he didn't dare to confront him directly. He just hugged his book to prevent the other party from grabbing it. Several people pulled left and right but couldn't get the cloth bag out of the Confucian scholar's hand.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding merchants and people all had expressions of unbearable expressions on their faces. The scholar was so angry that these thugs were clearly bullying him, but Gao Yin's reputation was suppressing them. Although they were angry, they did not dare to say anything.

At this time, Wang Wenlong heard Li Guozhu say "Hey" behind him. Wang Wenlong turned his head and looked, and Li Guozhu explained to him in a low voice: "This scholar is actually a martial arts practitioner."

Wang Wenlong was quite surprised: "Can this be seen?"

Li Guozhu nodded, "I'm afraid these rogues won't be able to beat him."

After hearing this, Wang Wenlong observed carefully and found out that although the Confucian scholar was surrounded by five gangsters, he was desperately protecting the robe in his hand and shrinking his neck to protect his head and face. The gangsters really had nothing to do with him.

The rogue was driven into a panic by this, so he showed no mercy. He grabbed a vegetable seller's pole on the roadside and went to chop the scholar.

A shoulder pole hit his back, and the Confucian scholar finally straightened up after suffering the pain. The remaining four scoundrels quickly went up to grab him, and his books were thrown on the ground. During the struggle, several books were torn.

When the scholar saw this, he became angry and cursed:
"Sayne, do you really think you are a grandfather and don't hit people?"

Then he spread his hands and slapped the rogue holding the pole in the face.

Even Wang Wenlong was shocked at this moment. This Confucian scholar was tall, but his movements were extremely fast. He spread his fingers and slapped the rogue holding the pole down directly. Then he saw his hands open and close, one with each palm. These rogues were no match for them, they just lay on the ground after a few moves.

The surrounding people, who had long been bullied by Gao Yin's tax collectors, cheered when they saw this scene.

At this moment, Wang Wenlong suddenly heard a noise behind him, and when he turned around, he saw a group of long shifts from the yamen rushing over.

The leader seemed to be a police officer. He walked into the crowd, pointed at the gangsters and Confucian scholars and said, "Stop making noise."

The Confucian scholar stopped, and then the policeman and his squad leader took out an iron ruler and pointed directly at the Confucian scholar.

Everyone realized that these detectives were here to help the gangsters.

At the request of Long Guolu, all officials in Haicheng County were not allowed to work with Gao Yin. However, no matter how strict Long Guolu was, he could only control the upper-class people. There were three classes and six rooms in the yamen, and the number of registered officials alone was There are dozens of people. Gao Yin has been in Yuegang for so long. Many of his subordinates have already taken refuge with him. Otherwise, how could Gao Yin be so domineering in Guangdong and Hong Kong?

The reputation of officials these days is no worse than that of eunuchs.Even if he is afraid that Long Guolu will not join Gao Yin directly, he can still turn to Gao Yin's minions to make money together.

At this time, the Confucian scholar also realized that these government officials were all in the same group as the gangsters, but it was too late to regret after having an iron ruler placed on his head.

The iron ruler used by the yamen servants is a large iron bar weighing several kilograms, which can be knocked on the head to ensure a hole. After all, this is still the real world, and no matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, it is difficult to deal with a person holding a weapon with bare hands.

Although the Confucian scholar had the upper hand in the fight, he was still injured to some extent. At this time, he could only lower his head in grievance, while wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "They were the ones who hit me first."

"Shut up! Don't talk again after I ask you, where are you from and what do you do?"

The Confucian scholar refused to accept and said angrily: "Wang Yu, a county student member from Nantai, Fuzhou, comes from a poor family and has no choice but to sell his books and study in Hong Kong."

Wang Wenlong was stunned when he heard this.

Since being captured by Gao Yin, Wang Wenlong has gone through all the records about Gao Yin in his mind. He remembers that he once read a piece of content in the history books that "Wang Yu led the crowd to attack Gao Yin".

It is said that Gao Yin came to Fuzhou and imposed excessive taxes, which made the Fuzhou residents dissatisfied. One of them, Wang Yu, led the soldiers to attack Gao Yin's mansion and almost arrested Gao Yin and beat him to death.

He was born in Fuzhou, came from a poor family, was good at martial arts, and lived in Diaolongtai, which was completely consistent with the identity of the guy in front of him.Wang Wenlong was almost certain that the big man in front of him was the scholar who led everyone to attack Gao Yin's mansion in the history books.

At this time, all the government officials who heard Wang Yu's identity were also quite surprised.

"Still a scholar?" The leading yamen servant looked at the rogue next to him when he spoke, asking him to decide whether to offend Wang Yu.

The rogue stood up, walked directly to Wang Yu, reached out and patted his face and said: "So what if you are a scholar, I will take care of you!"

He turned around very arrogantly and said to another ruffian who got up from the ground: "Go and call all our brothers. Today I will give this guy a good beating."

The rogue spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground and ran away in a hurry.

The yamen servant was a little scared when he saw this, and said to the leader: "Master Chen, this is a person with a great reputation, so don't offend him too harshly."

Young Master Chen laughed: "I'm afraid of him. I am the city supervisor under Eunuch Gao. Who dares to do anything to me?"

It turns out that this guy is really the leader of Gao Yin's men, and from what the yamen servant called him, it's obvious that this guy also has some influence in Yuegang, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to come and make a fortune.

Soon, more than a dozen of Master Chen's men came in noisily. They took over Wang Yu's hands and performed a backhand scissor. No matter how good Wang Yu's kung fu was, he could not move at this time.

Then Master Chen went up with a smile, clenched his fist, and punched Wang Yu in the stomach.

Wang Yu was in pain and almost fell to his knees in an instant.

Li Guoxian couldn't stand it anymore and said to Wang Wenlong: "Mr. Wang, please help him."

Wang Wenlong just watched silently and shook his head.

Li Guoxian was instantly angry: "Why are you like this?"

Wang Wenlong whispered: "Wait a minute."

Li Guoxian bit his red lips and felt that Wang Wenlong was unfair. He was greatly disappointed and his face was full of dissatisfaction.

At this time, Wang Yu had been beaten to the point of kneeling down and moaning, when he saw a rogue under Master Chen coming with a folding fan on his back, shaking a piece of letter paper in his hand as he ran.

Master Chen asked him with a smile: "One scale of gold, have you written the IOU?"

The rogue named Yi Sheng Jin seemed to have some culture. Before the ink on the letter paper in his hand was dry, he presented it to Master Chen with both hands.

"Master, it's all written down. This Wang Yu sells goods in the market and owes us 50 taels of tax. Everything is clearly written down."

After saying that, he took out a box of ink pads.

Master Chen laughed: "Pinch his fingers and make a mark."

This thing is really damaging. As long as Wang Yu is forced to put a deposit, it can prove that he owes the court taxes. Even if Wang Yu goes to report to the official, Master Chen can still say that he is collecting taxes for the court. Wang Yu's Even a beating would be in vain, and he would owe a huge sum of money as a result.

Seeing that scale of gold, he was about to pinch Wang Yu's finger. Finally, when the best time came, Wang Wenlong yelled quickly.

"Put people down!"
