Chapter 161 Nie Yong goes crazy!
At the banquet, Liang Quanyi was surrounded by everyone, and everyone was talking and the atmosphere was harmonious. Song Jin and Ma Xuewang were particularly proud.
The northern part of Yangzhou is very famous and has great talent and knowledge. This time, the performance of the two counties and county trials was amazing. Song Jin and Ma Xuewang pointed the two as the heads of the county's case, which has become a good story in the northern part of Yangzhou.
In addition, Liang Quanyi once lived in the northern part of Yangzhou and received favor from the Shaanxi family. Song Jin and Ma Xuewang have also heard of this. Today, the two brought the Shaanxi brothers to the banquet, and sure enough, they won Liang Quanyi's favor. At today's banquet, they made the greatest limelight.
Look at their current limelight and look at Nie Yong's embarrassment, there is no harm if there is no comparison! Did Nie Yong really think he could stand out among the eight counties of Yangzhou? Things are not that simple!
Nie Yong's identity is very delicate now. Everyone knows that he offended Dai Xiang and was demoted to Yangzhou. Some forces in Jiangnan need to rely on his identity, but they cannot truly bring him into their own camp.
Liang Quanyi’s indifference to Nie Yong today sent out such a signal. Yangzhou says how close the relationship between Nie Yong and Liang Quanyi is. Liang Quanyi wants to avoid suspicion and figure out the boundaries with Nie Yong!
Song Jin and others took advantage of this and did their homework in advance to cooperate with Liang Quanyi. Now, the county magistrates of other counties only saw Liang Quanyi and Song Jin, and Ma Xuewang had a great chat. Who would care about Nie Yong again in the future?
Things in the officialdom are so subtle and complex, and there are unexpected things everywhere.
The atmosphere of the banquet was very warm, and it seemed that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the plans of all parties. In this banquet, everyone took what they wanted, which seemed to have a climax.
Just at this moment, Nie Yong, who had not spoken, suddenly snorted coldly, and then everyone heard a "bang", and Nie Yong actually threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.
His actions were together, and the audience was in an uproar, and everyone stared at him in a daze.
Nie Yong stretched out his fingers to Song Jin and Ma Xuewang and said, "Song Jin, Ma Xuewang, you two treacherous people, what are your intentions? They are so treacherous and sinister!"
Nie Yong clasped his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone, there is one thing you may not know. Lord Liang was from a poor family when he was young. He lived in the northern part of Yangzhou and was supported by Mr. Shen Yun, the Shaanxi family. After Lord Liang became rich, he never forgot about the kindness of Mr. Shaanxi back then and took good care of the Shaanxi family."
Nie Yong said this, his voice suddenly rose and said angrily: "But, the two treacherous people, Song Jin and Ma Xuewang, actually used the relationship between Lord Liang and the Shaanxi family to make a fuss and created the so-called good story. The Shaanxi family has two cases and is still in two different counties. Where are you doing this? If this matter is spread, how should scholars in the world view Lord Liang?
You, you are sinister and treacherous, and you will kill people without blood. How do you have the shameless people like you who are in the position of a county?”
Nie Yong got angry, and he was angry, cursing at Song Jin and Ma Xuewang.
The audience was shocked by his scolding. Everyone didn't know these inside stories before. As soon as Nie Yong told the relationship between Liang Quanyi and the Shaanxi family, everyone thought about it carefully and felt that it was not the same.
In the northern part of Yangzhou, the Shaanxi clan is not very famous. Perhaps there are indeed good seedlings among its descendants. However, the two counties in Nanyou County and Dujiang County this time were all from the Shaanxi clan, and they were both the grandsons of Shaanxi Shenyun. How could this be so coincidental?
You know, the Shan brothers who called the most in the two counties before were not the Shaanxi brothers. In the end, the two students who called the most in the most in the future were all wrong, and the Shaanxi brothers stood out. There was no trick here. I am afraid that Song Jin and Ma Xuewang would not believe it very much.
Song Jin and Ma Xuewang were both extremely smart people. When they heard Nie Yong's curse, they realized the problem and immediately changed their faces.
The so-called intelligence is just mistaken for cleverness. They only think about how to speculate and please the newly appointed Prefect Liang, and they wished to use all their resources, but they did not expect that there would be huge loopholes in the process. Lu Zhenghuo saw through it with a glance. Nie Yong was brave and conscious, and had amazing courage and dared to slap the table on the spot. This problem was a big deal.
Song Jin said: "Mr. Nie, this is not the case. My Lord Ma and I did not communicate in advance about this matter. The Shaanxi brothers are amazingly talented. This is true. How can you... be so slandering?"
Nie Yong laughed and said, "If the Shaanxi brothers really have amazing talents, what you should do is to act low-key, be as high-profile as you are, and touting the two children with yellow mouths to a point of being stingy. What is your intention to do this? Do you want Lord Liang to call them the two as the head of the house for the trial?
If Lord Liang really takes one of them as the head of the house to test the case, what do you think of Lord Liang when you ask scholars in Yangzhou? Lord Liang has just taken office and has a nepotism?
Lord Liang is the prefect of Yangzhou and the parent official of Yangzhou, but he is even a scholar. The reputation of one parent official in the hearts of scholars is ruined. Can he still be regarded as a parent official?"
Nie Yong had already integrated all kinds of tricks. He could respond to the words of how Song Jin and Ma Xuewang distinguished, and what he said could ensure that every sentence was heartbroken.
As soon as he said this, Liang Quanyi's face changed drastically, and the Shaanxi brothers' faces also changed drastically. With these words, the Shaanxi brothers will never have the chance to win the case in this mansion examination.
Scholars value reputation as the most important thing, and they must avoid suspicion. If Nie never yells about this matter, it would be fine. Just pretend that everyone doesn’t know it and everyone has a tacit understanding with each other.
But now once Nie Yong made the matter clear, the nature of the matter completely changed, and Liang Quanyi was in an extremely passive situation. If he did not handle this matter well, it would have a great impact on his official voice.
Song Jin and Ma Xuewang were so angry that they were trembling all over. Both of them were smart people. They realized that their flaws were too exposed today, and their pride had already disappeared.
However, they were not willing to bow their heads easily. If they bowed their heads, not only would their previous plans and efforts fail, but they would even lead to Liang Quanyi's vigilance towards them, and that would really make them lose all the rice.
They didn't think so much about it. They just wanted to take the opportunity to flatter Liang Quanyi and narrow the distance between them. How did they expect that flattering would hit the horse's legs?
"Mr. Nie, you are talking nonsense and taint my reputation. If I am pure, I will be clear. The test papers for our Dujiang County test are now placed in the county government office. I, Ma Xuewang, ask you to follow me to see these test papers. Is Shaanxi Bin only a master of learning? Do you deserve this case?
Everyone, the conscience of heaven and earth, we don’t know what Lord Nie said. We are just acting impartially. Dear Lords, you must preside over justice!"
When Ma Xuewang said this, tears almost fell down. Nie Yong laughed again and said, "Master Ma, the boy is the boy of the court. Do you think this is the boy of your county? Don't worry, the right and wrong of this matter will definitely be decided, but this must be decided by the Master of Education and Government.
Everyone, during the Yangzhou County Examination, Master Su from the School Government was in Yangzhou. Are the two masters Song and Ma from the Qing Dynasty? Can our colleagues have the final say? The court has its own laws. Song and Ma, please understand this and don’t make mistakes!”
Since Nie Yong had already spoken, he would naturally bite him to death. It was like a master playing chess. If he was not careful, he would lose all the game. Song Jin and Ma Xuewang were completely defeated and were locked down by Nie Yong's big hats, so he was silent and unable to make a sound.
When Liang Quanyi saw this situation, he felt a little panicked, because once this matter spread, it would be unfavorable to his reputation. He immediately said:
"Mr. Nie, please sit first. As you said, right and wrong will be determined. But there is one thing, I don't know much about what happened to me when I was young. I don't think that Lord Song and Lord Ma knew about it. If they really knew, how could they do such stupid things?
Not only are they not good for themselves, but also for me, and harming others and not being good for themselves, why is this trouble?”
Liang Quanyi is not really incompetent. The competition for the position of Yangzhou prefect is so fierce that he can gain the upper hand in many competitions. How could he not have many tricks to take this position?
His attitude was revealed, obviously trying to make big things worse. Seeing that the matter was so turbulent, the county magistrates in other counties felt that it would not be good for everyone to continue, especially for boys in Yangzhou. So everyone came out to help Song Jin and Ma Xuewang make the best.
There are three good words that warm people's hearts. When things have come to this point, if Nie Yong continues to make trouble, he will be inhumane. Moreover, his colleagues and superiors have come forward to speak. How can he not give face?
Nie Yong seemed to be dissuaded, and things seemed to be under control. At this moment, the young man behind Nie Yong sighed and said:
"It is easy for a gentleman to say that villains are hard to guard against. Today's incident has spread, but the truth is no longer important. The story of two brothers winning the case at the same time has attracted attention, hey..."
The boy said halfway, sighed lightly, and stopped talking about the following words.
However, everyone in the audience was stunned at the same time, and they were stunned and speechless. Liang Quanyi was suddenly panicked because the boy was too right. Today's banquet attracted much attention, and small things at the banquet would be spread, let alone such big things?
From the moment Nie Yong got angry, it was meaningless to deal with Nie Yong, because the spread of rumors was always as fast as the wind. Perhaps at this time, scholars on the streets of Yangzhou started to talk about it.
