Xu Xueshi was dragged by Xiang Da Yushi and couldn't leave, so Liu Jian couldn't leave Xu Xueshi alone. The only person who could stop Xiang Chengxian's rude behavior was probably Fang Yingwu.
However, Fang Yingwu didn't seem to be in a hurry and spoke a few words to the onlookers in a leisurely manner. Then he came over and said to Xiang Chengxian: "Everything is right and wrong. There is no need to be too extreme, Brother Xiang."
Just now Xu Pu said, "Right and wrong have their own public opinions." At this time, Fang Yingwu also said, "Right and wrong have their own public opinions." The irony is self-evident. Only then did Xiang Da Yushi loosen his hand and let go of Xu Xueshi.
Then Fang Yingwu raised his hand in greeting to Xu Xueshi and said: "Brother Xiang was so angry that the teacher was frightened. I hope that the teacher will not be the same as him."
As we all know, Xu Pu was Fang Yingwu's examiner and chief advisor. Logically speaking, this was one of the closest political relationships in the officialdom.
However, due to various reasons, it was impossible for Fang Yingwu, who had a complicated political background, to be attracted by Xu Xueshi, who had a mountain top. The personal relationship between the two was very ordinary, but he was closer to the housing master Li Dongyang.
If Fang Yingwu's first sentence was respectful, his last sentence was not polite. He then said, "If you want to pick peaches, you can go to Wan'an to pick them, but don't take them from me, be careful of the peach thorns."
Academician Xu was not only embarrassed, but fortunately Xiang Da Yushi finally let go of his hand and he could leave.
`Chang`feng` Literature`cfwx` After hearing the drumming, according to the rules, the drummer will be escorted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which will then be responsible for interrogation and disposal. But today Fang Yingwu obviously does not need to follow the rules
This treatment will be directly reviewed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the prisoner in Shuntianfu Prison will be dealt with.
In other words, as long as Fang Yingwu shows up here, the whole incident has been reversed. What happens next is actually not important anymore. Who cares about a person who is not Fang Yingwu committing the crime?
On the way back, Xiang Chengxian couldn't help but ask: "I have never understood a question. Why did you think it was Xu Xueshi and his group who started the rumors? Although judging from various signs, including their performance this morning, it was them
The possibility is very high, but I haven’t seen any evidence you have?”
Fang Yingwu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "As a three-year-old knows, the biggest suspect is the biggest beneficiary. If my reputation is damaged, they are the biggest beneficiary. Of course, they will be the most suspect."
However, Xiang Da Yushi was not satisfied with Fang Yingwu's answer, and intuitively felt that there was a deeper truth in it: he questioned again: "In other words, you have no actual evidence. Is it just a guess?
If you guess right, it’s okay, it doesn’t count as an injustice. If you guess wrong, there are really other people who are harming others and not benefiting themselves, or people who have ulterior motives to sow discord and create rumors, wouldn’t you have wronged Xu Xueshi and the others?”
Fang Yingwu shook his head and said: "What you are talking about is common sense in life. Ordinary people can indeed think this way; but what I am talking about is political principles. The logic is different. There is no need to talk about empirical evidence. All the evidence lies in your heart.
In other words, regardless of whether Xu Xueshi and others are wronged or not, as long as counterattacking Xu Xueshi and others is beneficial to us, that is enough."
Only then did Xiang Da Yushi suddenly realize, clapped his forehead with his hand and said: "I understand! What we value is not that the biggest suspect is the biggest beneficiary; but whoever benefits us the most is the biggest suspect.
people.
As long as counterattacking Xu Xueshi and others can benefit us, then they are the biggest suspects. Or to use Cao Cao's words. This is the explanation that I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me."
After that day, public opinion changed. As Fang Yingwu induced others to carry out unsuccessful "persecution" against him, he turned into an image of being brutally persecuted. As a result, public opinion also changed from "slandering Fang Yingwu" to "slandering Fang Yingwu".
It became "Someone wants to discredit Fang Yingwu." Although there are two more words, the connotation has changed significantly, and Xu Xueshi and others will inevitably encounter some criticism.
In addition, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Shuntian Prefecture jointly interrogated the prisoner who pretended to be Fang Yingwu. Although this is of little significance, it is necessary to have a formality.
The presiding judge was the representative of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Mr. Tu Yutu, who was a close fellow villager of Fang Yingwu. The courtiers had no objections to this, which shows how little the court cared about this interrogation.
After the prisoner was brought up, Tu Yu suddenly took a look and saw that the man was very similar in stature to Fang Yingwu and looked like a man who had read a book. He shouted and asked: "Who is down the stairs?"
The prisoner confessed truthfully: "I am Mr. Zuo Changxin, the calligrapher of Zhongyi Bookstore."
Tu Yu understood immediately upon hearing this that Yao Qian, the owner of Zhongyi Bookstore, was also from Zhejiang and had a very close relationship with Fang Yingwu. It seemed that this matter was closely related to Fang Yingwu, and it was probably directed and acted by Fang Yingwu.
Master Tu had to admit that Fang Yingwu's skills were very good. He made his enemies jump up and down but missed with one punch. However, he still asked in a business-like manner: "Why are you pretending to be Fang Yingwu?"
Of course, Mr. Zuo was accused of being about the same age and stature as Fang Yingwu, and he often interacted with literati in Zhongyi Bookstore, and he also developed a literati demeanor, so he could impersonate Fang Yingwu so as not to arouse suspicion.
However, Zuo Changxin obviously would not answer truthfully. He raised his head and said with emotion: "When I was at Zhongyi Bookstore, I had a chat with my boss and learned about the difficult situation of Mr. Fang Yingwu.
And I am also a person who has read books. Seeing the country's loyal people reduced to such a state, being robbed of money by everyone, and being forced to associate with traffickers and lackeys, this will inevitably arouse righteous indignation, and my heart will be agitated by it!
Then, on impulse, he went to the street hall to pretend to be Fang Yingwu with the idea of substituting himself for Zhongliang, thinking that he would use his humble body to suffer for Zhongliang. Unexpectedly, he was harmed and ended up in prison.
!”
Mr. Zuo spoke impassionedly. The presiding judge, Tu Dazhong, ignored the look from Shuntian Mansion and deliberately allowed Mr. Zuo to speak. He waited patiently for Zuo Changxin to finish speaking. Then he said: "You know, even if you have feelings,
It’s excusable, but it’s also unforgivable.”
"I will never regret it! And I can't help but ask, what's going on in this society? Why is Fang Yingwu, a loyal and conscientious person known to the world, repeatedly being harmed? Doesn't this make the world reflect?"
"Okay!" Someone didn't know who cheered.
Tu Yu turned his head and said to Yin of Shuntian Prefecture next to him: "This man is also a righteous person among the people. How can we not understand the truth he said? He should be dealt with lightly. It is also an act of promoting good deeds and showing the court's generosity."
Shuntian Prefecture Yin rolled his eyes, what else could he say? This criminal was not a real person. No matter how light or severe the punishment was, it had no practical significance to him. He was not worthy of competing with Tu Yu, so Tu Yu would be sentenced as he liked.
The case was concluded in one trial. After that, the lines of the trial were gradually circulated. After combining with public opinion, the public opinion about Fang Yingwu was completely reversed. (To be continued...)
