Ji Tang

Chapter 565 There is no absolute right or wrong in this world!
The disaster relief work has been completed, and the remaining matters are just the finishing touches, and Ji Song and others no longer need to keep an eye on them.

Ever since, Ji Song, who was completely relaxed, began to fulfill his duties as the deposed ambassador, surveyed the public sentiment in various places, and did a lot of things.

No matter what, you can't let others say that you are a vegetarian!

But now that Wei Zheng is watching from the front, no one from the aristocratic family or the local powerful dare to stab him.

Ji Song had no chance to redress the grievances of the people, so he could only record the local customs, the conduct and performance of various officials, and give an explanation to the court.

Logically speaking, the disaster relief work has been completed, and it is time for Prince Li Chengqian to return to Chang'an.

But who would have thought that this kid would entangle Ji Song and insist on following him to understand the sentiments of the people.

Now Ji Song is a muggle, who is Li Chengqian?

That was the eldest son of the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. If something unexpected happened, what would it be like?

Come on, don’t say anything and just work honestly!
In addition to Ji Song, Wang Xuance and others also followed. Ji Song didn't take it seriously. Anyway, they had nothing to do at this time, so they just treated it as training.

To be honest, although they have done well in other aspects over the years, they lack a lot of human sophistication.

During this period, Ji Song taught them through words and deeds, which was a lesson for them.

For example, when I heard that a powerful man was robbing a girl in a county, the people in the city started talking about it.

It's okay if this happened, but Li Chengqian, Ji Qing and others were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to uphold justice for the people.

Ji Song didn't object when he heard this. He just asked them to investigate carefully before making a judgment and not to follow others' opinions.

They did the same thing, but when Ji Song asked about it again three days later, they were no longer as angry as before and became much silent.

Afterwards, Ji Song realized that it was the woman from that family who took the initiative. She couldn't bear the poverty at home and wanted to live a life like a master, so she created a chance opportunity by herself, and that's what happened next.

Her family thought she was being forced, so they went to the government to report her.
The local county magistrate did not take sides. After learning what happened, he told the truth to his parents.

But how could such a result be accepted by her parents?So what became of them?

So it was said everywhere that the county magistrate was colluding with the powerful, causing trouble all over the city.

No matter they were powerful men or county magistrates, they were all disgraced.

Finally, the powerful family came forward and forced the daughter to be kicked out of the house, and tried their best to restore their reputation.

But how can it be so simple to explain how three people become tigers?

It was not until Li Chengqian and others intervened that the matter came to light.

But no matter whether it is the woman, her family, the powerful man or the county magistrate, they are all very dissatisfied with this matter!
The woman's family also couldn't accept that their daughter would do this. When things got to this point, it was basically a messy matter that couldn't be cleaned up.

Under the mentality of supporting the weak, the people are unwilling to admit that this is the truth of the matter, thinking that this is the result of officials protecting each other.

The woman also refused to admit that it was the result of her design, and she was even more resentful of Li Chengqian and others who helped her!

When things have reached this point, no one is right or wrong anymore, only their own interests and everyone speaks from their own standpoint.

"Brother Song, why do you think this is?"

Li Chengqian was very puzzled and thought that this matter must be brought to light, and it must not be passed over like this.

But now neither the parties nor the victims want to waste time on this matter.

And they no longer have a position. What they now focus on is that the people will not take action and the officials will not investigate.

People don’t care anymore, so what else do you want to do?
"This matter ends here, don't worry about it." Ji Song said. "Why?"

Everyone asked together.

Ji Song had no choice but to point at Ji Qing and said, "Why do you think so?"

Ji Qing said excitedly: "Why? Of course it is to maintain the dignity of the law. If everyone is like this, then how dignified is the law of the Tang Dynasty?"

Ji Song didn't comment, just said: "Then you think we must get to the bottom of it?"

"Not bad!"

Ji Song was silent for a moment and asked Liu Xiancheng, "What do you think?"

Liu Xiancheng was stunned. He had never been involved in this matter from the beginning. His childhood experience made him understand a lot, especially family ties, which are sometimes unreliable.

Therefore, he was basically invisible throughout the whole process, not making any movements.

"The students think that this matter has nothing to do with us. They just feel aggrieved. If they continue to be entangled, I think everyone will be unhappy."

This time Ji Song nodded and asked Wang Xuance again.

Wang Xuance was thoughtful and said: "Sir, what you said is right, it's better to stop here."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Chengqian slammed the table angrily and said: "No, this matter must be investigated to the end. It cannot be passed over like this. There must be a conclusion about who is right and who is wrong."

Ji Song held his forehead and smiled bitterly, pulled Li Chengqian down and said, "Don't worry, listen to him first before you draw a conclusion."

Then he motioned to Wang Xuance to continue.

In fact, from the conversation just now, we can see the personality characteristics of the four people.

Li Chengqian is completely stupid, Ji Qing is resigned to death, and Liu Xiancheng is careless about matters that have nothing to do with him.

But compared to the other three, Wang Xuance is much more mature. This may have a lot to do with the fact that he lived on the streets when he was a child!

Wang Xuance glanced at the excited prince and said, "Actually, there is no longer anyone who is right or wrong in this matter."

"That woman wanted to live a good life. Although her methods were a bit disgraceful, apart from violating her filial piety, she didn't really hurt anyone."

"Haoqiang and the county magistrate were forced by public opinion and had to react. But her parents did not want to believe that their daughter was such a person, nor did they want to get such a result."

"So I would rather fight to the end than believe the government's conclusion. As for that woman."

He glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "If we insist on pursuing the investigation, the woman may have no other choice but to die."

"Maybe her parents will also be looked down upon by the world because of this incident, and the final result won't be much better."

"As a result of our participation, once something like this happens, the county magistrate and powerful people may not be able to reap the benefits in the end."

Li Chengqian was stunned on the spot, looking at Wang Xuance blankly, and then at Ji Song.

"How could this happen? Why is this the result?"

When Ji Song saw that the matter had reached this point, he said, "Because no one wants to investigate anymore, and they don't want the truth to be exposed to the world."

"No matter whether it is the county magistrate, the powerful man, the woman, or the woman's parents, they don't want to waste time on this matter anymore."
