Chapter 509 Chu Xingchen's Thunder Means, Hit, Hit Me Hard
This matter has caused such a big fuss. It seems that someone is fishing in troubled waters behind the scenes, deliberately manipulating and guiding public opinion to achieve the purpose of being dissatisfied with the imperial examination.
In the end, the charges for these things will only fall on the Shen family.
If you want to fish in troubled waters to achieve your own goals, and if you want to reap the benefits, just dream!
"Catch them, arrest them all!"
Shen Cangzhu took action and arrested all the troublemakers, including those students who said they were Taixue students. He showed no mercy.
Shen Cangzhu took action and finally brought the situation under control without causing greater casualties or conflicts.
Those who were arrested were noisy at first, threatening and saying they were not qualified to arrest them, but in the end they were afraid of death and were quickly taken away.
Shen Cangzhu was about to leave, but the door to Zhong Shengwan's house opened.
Zhong Shengwan thanked Shen Cangzhu for his help. Shen Cangzhu tightened his hands slightly and said, "You're welcome."
He didn't look into Zhong Shengwan's eyes. If Zhong Shengwan knew that he was the culprit, she might just want to kill him.
Shen Cangzhu didn't say much to Zhong Shengwan and left quickly on the grounds of being busy.
It was finally quiet outside the door, and they were temporarily safe, but the bell rang late but they couldn't be happy.
Everything is ruined.
She was almost overwhelmed by despair, but she didn't even have time to feel desperate and uncomfortable.
Xiao Ming's head was smashed, he was frightened again, and he started to have a fever.
She could only put aside all her emotions and focus on taking care of Xiao Ming.
Finally, in the middle of the night, when Xiao Ming got better, Zhong Shengwan was already numb and had no strength to even feel sad. He was just silent and began to prepare to leave.
She can ignore those insulting looks, but if she continues to stay here, it may cause more trouble.
She couldn't let Xiao Ming grow up in such an environment, and she didn't want to continue to influence Zhou Buyan. She regretted it because she was too high-profile before.
Wouldn't it be better if she took the initiative to admit her mistake and leave?
As Zhong Shengwan expected, this incident became even more serious due to the arrest of people due to conflicts.
Taixue was under great pressure and had already drafted an announcement to cancel Zhong Sheng's late admission qualification, but they were wary of Chu Xingchen's attitude and did not announce it immediately.
In addition to targeting Zhong Shengwan, the crusade against Zhou Buyan has just begun.
Public opinion broke out and chaos was about to arise. Fortunately, Chu Xingchen and Zhou Buyan finally rushed back to Feng'an City.
Chu Xingchen hasn't come back yet, but the orders are coming one after another. First of all, Feng'an City is under martial law. Scholars are not allowed to gather. If they question the fraud in the imperial examination, they must provide evidence. Otherwise, they will talk nonsense and incite the people, and they will be severely punished. .
Chu Xingchen's order could give a glimpse of her attitude, so when Chu Xingchen returned to Feng'an City, the first thing she faced was a demonstration.
This is the second time she has faced a protest, having faced it once when she was a concubine.
Among the demonstrators, there was the scholar who said to his face that Zhong Shengwan was a brothel girl and that he was also a benefactor. He looked upright and waited for Chu Xingchen to explain.
But unlike that time, this time, Chu Xingchen's methods were very tough.
After glancing at the scholar and confirming that it was him, Chu Xingchen waved his hand and said directly, "Catch him."
The scholar was shocked and dissatisfied and asked why he was arrested. He also said that Chu Xingchen had been deceived by Zhou Buyan and had turned into a coward.
The other scholars were equally angry and didn't know why Chu Xingchen arrested him.
Chu Xingchen sneered and said, "Have none of you here learned the "Da Chu Law"? Or have you not studied it well? So I am really glad that you no longer participate in the imperial examination, otherwise I would have to worry about who will be admitted."
Among the scholars who demonstrated, some did not understand yet, but some did, and their expressions changed.
"The "Da Chu Code" clearly stipulates that officials who stay with prostitutes will be punished with sixty sticks, and those who are descendants of officials who stay with prostitutes will be punished with the same crime."
A scholar murmured and read out. Chu Xingchen raised his chin and said in a mocking tone, "It turns out that there are people who have read "Da Chu Law". I don't need to waste my time. Sixty sticks!"
The "Laws of Da Chu" clearly prohibit officials from having prostitutes. This law was forcefully set by the former empress. She was a woman, so she was tough. After killing chickens to scare monkeys several times, those officials remembered it and dared not violate it again.
The first empress was a legendary figure who made people fearful. Unfortunately, when it came to the emperor, her attitude was not strong enough. Gradually, this rule was no longer taken seriously and was simply ignored.
Afraid of being impeached, officials are still a little restrained, but those whose children are scholars have become prostitutes and are proud of it.
They forgot, but Chu Xingchen didn't forget.
The scholars who demonstrated were so shocked by the "Da Chu Law" that nothing was left. The scholar who stole the show was caught at the scene of the demonstration, in front of all the scholars and all the people.
The scholar's eyes were red and he was in an unprecedented panic. Before, he had deliberately asked people to find people to watch and steal the limelight.
Who would have thought that now he has dug his own grave and has been completely embarrassed.
If he was just scolded by the rod, how could he have the dignity to live?
And what's wrong with him? Everyone is like this. It's obviously the brothel girl who doesn't know what's good or bad.
He pinched his neck and shouted, "If the Queen wants to kill or behead me, I'm not afraid, but..."
He struggled and shouted, feeling full of justice, but in fact, in everyone's eyes, he was just a caught little chicken struggling in embarrassment.
His little strength was of no use at all. Before he could even finish his words, he was pushed down and started to be beaten.
Chu Xingchen did not need to kill him or cut him into pieces, he only punished him according to the laws of Chu.
Chu Xingchen liked this very much and was very satisfied with this aspect of Chu Law.
Let you be proud of visiting a brothel. A scholar who visits a brothel has no idea where he can have the courage to be a righteous man.
It didn't take long for the scholar's pride to be shattered after the first battle.
"Ouch!" He screamed, howling like ghosts and howling like wolves, and kept scolding him with the stick. His whole body felt bad, and his face was covered with tears and snot.
He cursed and begged for mercy in pain, and looked completely ugly, without looking like a scholar.
But soon, he couldn't curse anymore, and he had no strength. He was only halfway through the beating, and his whole body became weak. In the end, he even fainted.
Chu Xingchen watched coldly, and asked someone to splash water on him to wake him up, and then continued beating him when he woke up.
At the scene of the demonstration by hundreds of scholars, there was only the dull sound of the cane and the faint begging for mercy from the scholars, and nothing else.
No one dared to speak, and the arrogance of hundreds of scholars was completely extinguished.
As soon as Chu Xingchen came, he killed people and punished her heart. After killing her heart, she killed her body. She suppressed the scholar from body to mind, and completely destroyed her inexplicable pride.
This is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Scholars are chickens, and they are monkeys.
Smart people are aware of it, but there is no way to change it.
After sixty strokes with the cane, the scholar still had a breath left and was dragged down directly. As for whether he was dead or alive, no one had the energy to care.
