"Are you saying that Mr. Chen Yin was imprisoned because he snitched on Mr. Wang?" When the crowd calmed down, Kong Xiucai immediately asked: "You all came to Hangzhou to investigate and deal with Mr. Wang?"
Zhang Hu nodded and said loudly: "That's exactly it!"
Kong Xiucai chuckled and said loudly: "You keep saying that the evidence has been sent to Kyoto. I haven't seen it in person, so it's not up to you to say yes. That's all. I would like to ask, since Mr. Wang is said to have colluded with giant businessmen, what's the point?
Who is the giant businessman? Now that the target of the attack is directed at Mr. Wang, why is the figure of the giant businessman not seen? If you really want to submit a letter, since Mr. Wang is named and presented, why not include the true identity of the treacherous businessman?
Write it down?"
Zhang Hu was a little unhappy when he saw the old scholar being aggressive, and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, this giant businessman is disrespecting the law. The Ministry of Industry will naturally send people to investigate, and he will never be able to escape."
Kong Xiucai stroked his beard and smiled, seeming very relaxed: "In the final analysis, some of the accusations in these thousand words are still not true. Although I have written meritorious service, I would never dare to write this name. If it is the last
It’s been found out that Mr. Wang’s charges are not true. If the court investigates them, I’m afraid that if I wait for elimination, my decades of hard study will be over in one day! Hehe, I don’t dare to sign… I don’t dare to sign…!” He waved his hands repeatedly.
, with a strange smile on his old face.
These words are actually a reminder to all talented people who have achieved fame. If they sign their names in a daze, their future may be ruined here.
The place was extremely silent for a moment.
Xiao Suzhen's beautiful face showed a look of helplessness, and she said slowly: "No matter what, it is always a fact that my father has been wronged. Can't you all take action with justice? There are thousands of talented people in Hangzhou, but no one has mercy on this little girl?"
The talented young men were in a dilemma. Looking at the pitiful Xiao Suzhen, many of them wanted to rush up and hand-print their names, but they were quite hesitant when they thought that their future prospects might be ruined by this.
Suddenly they heard applause, and a refreshing voice said leisurely: "Well said, well said!" But they didn't know who was talking about it well. Everyone saw that the speaker was the shopkeeper of Lan Yuexuan.
Xue Poye clapped his hands and slowly walked forward and said loudly: "Everyone, everyone, what this old scholar Kong said is really good and makes sense. Even I, the little shopkeeper, admire it very much!"
Xiao Suzhen and Zhang Hu were both stunned, and quickly frowned. Is this Xue Poye confused? How can he be so nice to outsiders?
The talented young and old inside and outside the court are also very strange, and they are all very dissatisfied. We educated and well-established gentlemen are discussing important matters, and you, a humble little businessman, come out and do it.
When Xiucai Kong saw Xue Poye coming out to support him, he was a little happy and said with a smile: "This shopkeeper seems to agree with the old man's words!"
Xue Poye nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course I agree, of course I agree." He touched his nose and asked slowly: "But Mr. Kong, a scholar, I have some questions that I have not yet solved. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
Kong Xiucai didn't know what kind of medicine Xue Poye was selling in his gourd, so he became cautious and said with a conciliatory chin: "Please tell me!"
Xue Poye walked to Xiao Suzhen's side, looked at the Thousand-Character Words on the table, and said leisurely: "You have read poetry and books, so you naturally know about etiquette, justice, integrity and shame. Mr. Kong, a scholar, since you don't believe that the prefect Wang colludes with others to enrich themselves, but you don't know
Do you believe that Mr. Chen Yin colluded with Qingren Teru?"
Kong Xiucai was stunned. He didn't know why he suddenly asked this question, but the talented young men around him were already shouting: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Mr. Chen Yin is a great Chu writer, he knows right and wrong, and he has a noble reputation. How can it be so?"
I absolutely don’t believe that he can collude with Qinglianzhao’s rebel bandits.”
Kong Xiucai put away his smile, felt a little embarrassed, shook his head and said, "If you don't believe it, Mr. Chen Yin must be innocent." Naturally, he didn't dare to say he didn't believe it, as that would offend the public.
"Oh!" Xue Poye sat down at the table leisurely, looking comfortable, and asked: "In other words, Kong Laoxiu is the one who has determined that Mr. Chen Yin is not guilty, right?"
Kong Xiucai was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "Now you believe in Mr. Wang's innocence and Mr. Chen Yin's innocence." He glanced at everyone and said, "Were you there that day when Xiao Cainiu defended her father's injustice in front of the Yamen in Hangzhou?
"
Xiao Suzhen and Zhang Hu looked at Xue Poye in confusion, not knowing what he was going to do.
Kong Xiucai nodded and said: "The old man was indeed present that day."
"Okay!" Xue Poye said immediately: "On that day, Mr. Wang announced Mr. Chen Yin's crime to the public. I wonder if Mr. Kong still remembers it?"
Kong Xiucai saw Xue Poye's calm expression, his star-like eyes flashing and gleaming, full of weirdness and traps, and felt very uncomfortable, so he replied: "Remember."
Xue Poye chuckled and said loudly: "Just remember." He stood up and hugged his fists around, and said loudly: "I'm afraid you all remember that Mr. Wang's right-hand assistant Mou Xinxun said so with red lips and white teeth.
, Mr. Chen Yin colluded with Qinglianzhao and wrote a proclamation for them, and Mr. Wang did not deny it. Since he did not deny it, Mr. Chen Yin’s crime was naturally confirmed. "
Everyone looked at Xue Poye intently, waiting for him to continue.
Xue Poye coughed twice, looked at Kong Xiucai, and said in a threatening voice: "Scholar Kong has just said that he is convinced of the innocence of Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen Yin. But now it is Mr. Wang who has carried out Mr. Chen Yin's charge of colluding with Qinglianzhao.
No matter what, one of them must be unclear. Either Mr. Chen Yin is indeed guilty, and Mr. Wang’s words are conclusive, fair and honest; or Mr. Chen Yin is innocent, but Mr. Wang has fabricated charges to frame him!" Double Eyes!
A cold light flashed, staring into Kong Xiucai's eyes, and said coldly: "But I don't know whether Kong Laoxiucai thinks Mr. Wang is innocent, or Mr. Chen Yin is innocent?"
Kong Xiucai immediately broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that a small businessman could be so sharp-tongued. He made himself extremely embarrassed. He opened his mouth and said "ah, ah" several times, but no words came out.
After some thought, most of the talented men and young men felt that Mr. Chen Yin was innocent, while Wang Shizhen made up charges to frame good people.
Xue Poye's few words immediately changed the situation. Xiao Suzhen looked at Xue Poye gratefully, while Zhang Hu nodded with a smile and showed appreciation.
Xue Poye smiled faintly and said slowly: "In my opinion, I would rather believe that Mr. Chen Yin is innocent. If you think about it carefully, if Mr. Wang is really honest and upright, then why does the Zuodu Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate not refuse
Is it possible that I came all the way from Kyoto just to slander Mr. Wang for colluding with wealthy businessmen to enrich themselves? Since even Mr. Tan has come here, things are naturally not simple. If Mr. Wang has no tricks at all, I'm afraid he won't believe it even if he says it."
What he said made perfect sense, and all the talented men and young men nodded involuntarily.
Kong Xiucai wiped his sweat and finally said: "Even if Mr. Wang is guilty and Mr. Chen Yin is innocent, that old man would not dare to sign and seal these thousand words. No one can explain the official affairs clearly. We can't put our future on the line."
Bet on these thousand words."
Xue Poye sneered and said: "It's in vain that you keep saying that you have read the books of sages since you were a child. The books of sages do not teach you to do things without conscience. Scholars should not only worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness, but also hold high
The banner of morality and upholding justice in the world. If scholars don’t care about justice and conscience, then who will care? Now that Mr. Tatsuyin has been wronged and wronged, it is a huge shame for scholars. Not only are you not ashamed, but you care about your own future and dare not uphold justice.
, I despise you, I despise you completely. Besides, you are a person with half a foot in the coffin, and you are still just a scholar, so what future do you have!"
Kong Xiucai was so scolded that he rolled his eyes, covered his chest, and collapsed.
Xiao Suzhen was surprised and grateful at the same time, and whispered in a low voice: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness. It's his fault...it's his fault that he has such ambition!" She whispered to herself in a very low voice, weak as a mosquito.
Ants, but no one heard them.
Xue Poye raised his hands and said loudly: "Now Mr. Chen Yin has been wronged. Just imagine, if you are all accused and detained for no reason, do you want someone to come out to uphold justice? Today, Mr. Chen Yin is wronged, if
If you all take care of yourself and do not come out to uphold justice, then who will come out when you are wronged?" He coughed twice and said loudly: "Mr. Chen Yin is a great literary giant in our country of Chu, and he is also the face of scholars in Chu.
, now that your face has been torn apart, don’t you want to get it back!”
These words were extremely inflammatory, and they were used as metaphors among the people themselves. They immediately gained support, and some people shouted: "Get your dignity back, get your dignity back, and uphold justice!" The shouts were like thunder——
If it looks good, collect it, there will be more exciting things later!dd
