The woman didn't dare to speak anymore, but someone else argued with arrogance:
"Master Chu, we don't know whether that person just now is a spy from the Northern Barbarian Kingdom. But we are just trying to survive!
If the imperial court just punishes us like this without solving the source of the plague, isn't it afraid that it will chill the hearts of the people all over the world?"
Chu Wenhong looked at the speaker coldly. There was no hint of the gentle temperament of a scholar, but his expression was full of fierceness.
"When did I say that I would punish you?"
The people who made the trouble looked at each other in confusion. Wasn't this the second son of the Chu family a scholar who had passed the imperial examination?
Why did it seem that I saw the shadow of General Chu in him just now?
However, what Chu Wenhong said was not punishment, but it made them feel a lot more at ease instantly, and they were no longer so anxious to leave.
It's just that they don't understand.
"Master Chu, since you are not trying to punish us, why don't you let us leave?"
"Yeah, don't just say one thing and do another."
Some people asked loudly, while others whispered. Chu Wenhong only said:
"Because I want to tell you a story."
"Story? What story?"
The people were even more puzzled. They came to make trouble, and not only were they not put in jail, but they could also be told stories by Mr. Chu?
The guards had already brought a chair, and Chu Wenhong sat down on the steps.
I really need to spend my time telling these trouble-making people a story.
The people looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why, so they listened to Chu Wenhong:
"I know that you were deceived and used by others to attack two innocent and poor children."
Some people despise them, they are so innocent and pitiful, they are clearly two disaster stars! They don’t know who is blind and blind and cannot understand.
Chu Wenhong has already said the second half of the sentence:
"But you don't know that you have been deceived, and you are convinced of the lies!
If I just let you go back like this, you will definitely still be unconvinced, and there is no guarantee that one day you will fall into the trap of someone with ulterior motives.
Today, I just want to open your eyes."
"Cough cough cough."
The person who had just been slandering seemed to have been read by Chu Wenhong, and felt uncomfortable for a while.
Most people are curious, what kind of story is Chu Wenhong going to tell? And can it open their eyes?
Chu Wenhong saw their confused expressions and began to preach:
"The Analects of Confucius says that there were eight scholars in the Zhou Dynasty: Boda, Boshi, Zhongtu, Zhonghu, Shuye, Shuxia, Jisui, and Jijun.
These eight scholars all have extraordinary virtues and outstanding talents. They come from the same family, there are many and they are virtuous, they are truly the auspiciousness of a prosperous age and the light of a country.
As the saying goes, the birth of talented people is related to luck. If the generals and emperors of Gaotian and Emperor Zuo are committed to the cause of peace, many talented people will emerge at the right time, and they will be numbered naturally!"
The people who came to make trouble and were forced to stay behind heard the news in confusion, but they also enjoyed it.
Someone asked the people around him in a low voice:
"What exactly does Mr. Chu mean by this?
Someone understood the general idea and explained to him:
"That is to say, the Zhou Dynasty produced eight very powerful and capable men. They were all from the same family. They were sent by God to assist the Mingjun in the prosperous age."
"Oh, so that's it. But what does this have to do with us?"
The person who asked the question couldn't figure out how the story Chu Wenhong told was related to what happened today?
The person who answered couldn't explain it this time, and he didn't know either.
Other people heard that something big happened in the house of Xizhao's twins.
I secretly came to watch the news, but I was catching up with Chu Wenhong telling a story.
For a moment, I didn't understand what Chu Wenhong was doing. Was he lecturing and educating the people?
Someone at the scene finally couldn't help it and asked loudly.
"Master Chu, what use will it do to us if you tell us this story?"
"Yeah, yeah, it's better to let us go home and cook."
Chu Wenhong then continued to preach:
"These eight men not only come from the same family, but also from the same mother, and they are all twins! One mother gave birth to four children and had eight sons. All eight sons are talented and become the auspiciousness of the prosperous age!"
As soon as he said this, the people were instantly in an uproar.
"What? All eight are twins?"
"Is there a woman in this world who can give birth to four twins in succession?"
"These four pairs of twins all became talented and became the Eight Wise Men?"
They finally knew why Chu Wenhong told them this story.
"But this is too incredible. Is this really true?"
Someone raised a question, and someone immediately reminded:
"Didn't you hear what Mr. Chu said? This is recorded in the Analects of Confucius! How can it be false?"
Some of the people who came to make trouble could not read a few Chinese characters, and naturally they had not read a few books.
Otherwise, you won't be incited by others with just a few words and become someone else's pawn without even realizing it.
But they still know the name of "The Analects of Confucius". It is one of the Four Books and Five Classics.
They only read the books of sages because they look up to and worship people who are beyond their reach.
In their minds, the content recorded in such a book will naturally not be false.
The people couldn't hide their shock, and then they remembered that the storyteller had said that those families with twins would have good luck.
"Then, why do disasters happen wherever these brothers go?"
"That's right, our Yunxiao Kingdom doesn't have any major disasters, and the land is full of people starving, so how can there be a plague running rampant? This is unreasonable."
Although they have not read many books, they have life experience! Shouldn’t this plague only occur after a great disaster?
Chu Wenhong had already stood up.
"The government has found out that the cause of this plague is bubonic plague! It has nothing to do with the two young masters of Xiling!"
Plague? The troubled people looked at each other. Didn't they wrong the twins Xizhao?
"Ah, let me tell you, these two young masters from Xizhao look fair and clean, and they don't look like disaster stars. You don't believe it."
The woman who had just been in a hurry to go home and cook immediately plucked herself completely.
This attracted a look of disdain from others. When did she say this?
But after I despised that woman, I knew in my heart that I seemed to have made a mistake.
At this time, a young man dressed as a student came over.
"Master Chu, student Wen Yang, under the order of Mr. Sikong, came to recruit Xilingyu and Xilingdie as Mr. Sikong's direct disciples.
Mr. Sikong said that all future disasters for the two brothers will be stopped by him as their master! No one else needs to worry about it."
As Wen Yang spoke, he glanced at the people making trouble at the steps with an unhappy expression, making them feel guilty. But they were in an uproar again.
"He is the Grand Bachelor of Sikong, the director of Tianxia Academy."
"He is also the heir to the world-famous Sikong family."
"She is also the mentor of the current Queen."
The people who spoke one after another thought about the enrollment of Tianxia College some time ago.
How many students are trying to get into Tianxia Academy, let alone the direct disciples of Grand Master Sikong.
As long as Grand Master Sikong thinks, what kind of students can’t receive it?
If the twins Xizhao were really a disaster, how could Grand Scholar Sikong accept them as his direct disciples?
