My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1021: There are great scholars talking and laughing, and there are no unlearned people among them! Ying Fusu: Fight back!

Looking at the test papers piled on the desk, Ying Chengjiao's lips curled up slightly: "Mark the papers!"

At the command, Qi Diao Li, Gong Yang Ba and a hundred legal officials picked up the bound test papers in front of them with names covered on them.

Ying Fusu stood behind Ying Chengjiao and watched attentively.

As soon as Ying Chengjiao opened the title page, Ying Fusu's eyes were attracted by the elegant and narrow font on the test paper, and he couldn't help but recite softly:
"In May of the 16th year of the reign of Qin Wangzheng, Chai Chai of Chai County, whose abbreviation is Qingshan, seized farmland and forced commoners Liaofu and Kainiang to death, and killed commoner Sun Bo. On June 3rd of the 16th year of the reign of Qin Wangzheng, they gathered all the people and intended to secretly make the former prince of Qi, the Ninth Huan, their leader..."

As he was reading, Ying Fusu was surprised: "Master once said that Chai Qingshan is a well-known righteous man. He is generous and generous, always keeps his word. Although he is not a gentleman, he is a righteous man."

"This person has accused Chai Qingshan and his clansmen of so many crimes?!"

While continuing to read the test paper, Ying Chengjiao asked, "If this candidate's accusation is true, does Fusu think this person can be called a righteous man?"

Ying Fusu said without hesitation: "If this candidate's accusation is true, this person is definitely not a hero, but a criminal! He is no different from a beast!"

Ying Fusu is not a person who cannot distinguish between good and evil.

Even Dr. Chunyu Yue, who advocates lenient policies and suspended sentences, shook his head after reading the "Provisional Law of the New District", criticizing it for being too lenient!
As long as you don't kill, injure, steal or commit treason, you will hardly violate the "Provisional Law of the New District".

But Chai Lue violated the "Provisional Law of the New District" repeatedly within a few months, and the Chai clan members violated the "Provisional Law of the New District" repeatedly.

In Ying Fusu's opinion, this kind of person can't be called a righteous man, he can't even be called a human being!
Ying Chengjiao shook his head and said, "Too one-sided."

"Fusu should think carefully. Why did Doctor Chunyu think this man was a righteous man?"

After throwing a question to Ying Fusu and letting him play with it, Ying Chengjiao continued to read the test paper carefully, and then ordered in a deep voice: "Don't rush to judge the test paper in your hands."

"First, copy down all the accusations of the candidates!"

"Two people work together to monitor each other, and then report back after everything is correct!"

Qi Diaoli and the others all bowed their hands: "Yes!"

All examiners will focus their attention on the third question first, and copy down all the candidates' accusations on paper, sorting them into categories according to the objects of the accusation.

After being busy for a long time, Ying Fusu finally spoke uncertainly: "Could it be that Master Chunyu has been away from his hometown of Qi for a long time, so Master Chunyu has never seen Chai Qingshan in person, and he just believed Chai Qingshan because of the letter from an old friend?"

Ying Chengjiao shook his head and said, "I think this is because Dr. Chunyu is a man of great learning and no ordinary person is around!"

Ying Fusu murmured, savoring it: "There are great scholars in conversation and laughter, and there are no unlearned people among them."

“Is this wrong?”

Ying Fusu thought this sentence was beautiful and it should be regarded as a compliment.

But Ying Chengjiao said this with a bit of disdain.

Ying Chengjiao said with a hint of sarcasm: "In terms of the common people, the national laws, and the etiquette, Chai Qingshan is guilty of heinous crimes! I don't know how many common people want to eat his flesh!"

"However, for great scholars, knights-errant, and celebrities, Chai Qingshan is a role model of a righteous man who is generous and has a high moral character! Many talented people want to become his disciples."

“These diametrically opposed views do not conflict.”

"Because the money donated by Chai Qingshan out of righteousness is taken from the common people and used for great scholars!"

"Dr. Chunyu and other great scholars all talked and laughed like great scholars, and there was no unlearned person among them."

"Why would they listen to the words of an ordinary person and see the suffering of an ordinary person?"

"They can only appreciate the righteousness of Chai Qingshan!"

Ying Chengjiao felt that talking and laughing with great scholars and associating with all common people was a compliment to the powerful, the wealthy, and the like, but it should not be a compliment to a wise man, a great scholar, or a person who cares about the common people.

If he keeps saying that he is pleading for the people, but in the end, even the common people are not around, then who is he pleading for? Are the lives of the common people not lives?

Ying Fusu suddenly realized: "Master Chunyu's evaluation is not wrong. Chai Qingshan behaved like a righteous man when facing Master Chunyu."

"But Chai Qingshan has more than one side. Master Chunyu has never seen the attitude that Chai Qingshan showed when facing Li Shu."

"What uncle just said was too one-sided. Not only was he saying that what my nephew said was too one-sided, but he was also saying that Master Chunyu was too one-sided!"

As he spoke, Ying Fusu became a little dazed.

If Qi Diao Li had difficulty in discovering the sufferings of the common people, it would not have prevented him from becoming a great Confucian scholar, because although the Qi Diao school was most willing to stand up for the people, it did not care about what the common people thought. The common people could think whatever they wanted, but the Confucians of the Qi Diao school only cared about right and wrong!
But Chunyu Yue had difficulty in discovering the suffering of the common people, which made Ying Fusu somewhat unacceptable. Chunyu Yue was studying Mencius! If the Confucian scholars of the Mencius family did not know the suffering of the common people, then what good would it be to study Mencius!
Not wanting to tarnish his image as a teacher, Ying Fusu hurriedly said as if grasping at straws: "But the premise of everything uncle said is that the accusation of this candidate is true!"

Ying Chengjiao did not comment, but asked loudly: "Have you finished copying and summarizing the candidates' accusations?"

Gong Yangba immediately replied: "Nine hundred and seventy-two copies have been copied, but they have not yet been compiled."

Ying Chengjiao turned around and looked at Ying Fusu and asked, "Are you willing to share the worries of the superiors and take over the responsibility of summarizing the work?"

Although Ying Fusu was a prince, his official status was that of a commoner. He had no right to participate in the marking of examination papers, nor did he have the right to touch the examination papers before they were opened and covered with names.

However, it was not against the law to let Ying Fusu take over the papers copied by the law officers and summarize them, and Ying Chengjiao also hoped to let Ying Fusu discover the truth with his own eyes.

Ying Fusu immediately cupped his hands and said, "That's exactly what I wish for!"

Walking up to Gongyangba and sitting down, Ying Fusu took a large stack of papers and classified them according to the objects of accusation.

Out of the primacy effect, Ying Fusu subconsciously sorted out all the accusations against Chai Lue and carefully looked through the accusations against each candidate.

"In July of the sixteenth year of the reign of Qin Wangzheng, Chai Qingshan privately seized a hundred hectares of land. He entered Handan with Chang'an Jun, and after a night banquet, he was furious and quickly handed the land over to the Chai County government office. He also killed twenty-one of the original owners of the land to cover up the evidence."

"On June 19, the 16th year of the reign of Qin Wangzheng, Chai Qiong of the Chai family beat up a merchant from Yan in the street and fled. Chai gave the magistrate of Chai County 300,000 yuan to stop the incident."

"Chai..." One charge after another was placed in front of Ying Fusu, making veins pop out on Ying Fusu's forehead.

What's more, multiple candidates accused the same crime. Although their statements were different, the months and crimes were similar.

Ying Fusu knew very well that the examination papers for this imperial examination could not be leaked in advance, and the children of the common people would not have the opportunity to plot the accusation against Chai in advance.

Now the simultaneous accusations of multiple candidates have corroborated the witness testimonies, how could Ying Fusu not believe it!

Furiously, Ying Fusu slapped a piece of accusation against Chai Lue and said in a hateful voice, "This man should be executed!"

As he spoke, Ying Fusu could hardly hide his disappointment and loss.

Master Chunyu, who has been regarded by Ying Fusu as the spokesperson of truth, advocate of justice, and guide of life since childhood, can also be one-sided.

He can make mistakes too!

Ying Chengjiao looked at Ying Fusu with a hint of surprise and said, "This is not something you would say."

Ying Fusu! Kill someone!

Oh my god, Four Directions Heavenly Emperor! These two words can actually be combined together!
And the person Ying Fusu wanted to kill was not himself! This was too incredible!
Ying Fusu said angrily: "People like this who are so unkind and unjust and oppress the common people will be a disaster for all the people if they remain in the world!"

"My nephew believes that this boy must be executed!"

Ying Fusu was not a cowardly, hypocritical, or weak person; he was just a person who was too kind and too righteous.

But precisely because Ying Fusuren was too excessive, Ying Fusu could not stand such cruel people!

If Chai Qingshan was standing in front of Ying Fusu now, Ying Fusu would definitely have drawn his sword!

Ying Chengjiao said with a sigh, "Look at you, you're anxious again."

Ying Fusu: ...

Ying Fusu was surprised and asked, "Uncle, is there no anger in your heart?"

Ying Chengjiao asked back: "Has it been investigated? Has it been confirmed? Has it been tried? Is there any evidence?"

"No investigation, no right to speak!"

"Criminal investigation is a serious matter. How can we draw conclusions before we have confirmed the truth?"

Ying Fusu looked at the charges on the table and said, "It was my uncle who just ordered me to sort out the charges and judge whether Chai Qingshan is guilty or not based on the charges!"

Ying Chengjiao did not deny Ying Fusu's idea, but nodded and said: "Yes, your uncle does hope that you can use these accusations to judge whether Chai Qingshan is guilty."

"However, the accusation can only tell you and me that Chai Qingshan is very likely guilty. We can continue to investigate along the clues of the candidates' accusations."

"Only when we find sufficient evidence can we convict Chai Qingshan."

"Otherwise, Chai Qingshan can only be a suspect, not a criminal!"

Ying Fusu remained silent after hearing this.

Ying Fusu once felt that these accusations were enough to prove Chai Lue's guilt.

But after realizing the four no's and two straight's, and realizing that what you hear is false and what you see is also false, Ying Fusu slowly nodded after pondering for a moment.

However, just when Ying Fusu had agreed with what Ying Chengjiao said, Ying Chengjiao spoke again: "Suppose, one day, you received a royal decree saying: Prince Fusu is to be executed."

"What do you want?"

Ying Fusu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle, this is totally different!"

Can what my father said be the same as what the candidates said?

Can the order and the test paper be the same?

In terms of credibility, there is no comparison between the two!
Ying Chengjiao asked in a deep voice: "Answer me!"

Ying Fusu said without hesitation: "My father is the king and father, and my nephew is the son and subject."

"Since my father has ordered me to commit suicide, I should..."

But as he spoke, Ying Fusu's attention was attracted by Ying Chengjiao's serious and cold gaze, and a figure emerged in his mind.

That was the back of Ying Zheng who resolutely stood in front of him when facing the rushing crowd!
Would his father, who subconsciously protected him from danger, really let him die? !
Ying Fusu was silent for a moment, then spoke again: "My uncle said that a king would order his subjects to commit suicide, but a father would not order his son to commit suicide."

"If my nephew were to face such an order, he would go to see my father first!"

Ying Chengjiao asked again: "If a huge army blocked your way and you were not allowed to see the king, what would you do?"

This time, Ying Fusu was silent for a long time before he finally said resolutely: "Kill them back!"

"If my father is in trouble, I will do my best to protect him and prevent him from being held hostage by powerful officials!"

"If my father is wrong, I will defend him vigorously and not let him be labeled as a traitor!"

"Only if my father personally orders my nephew to be put to death, and if I am indeed guilty and deserve to be put to death, will I kneel before him."

"Cut your own throat and make amends!"
