I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 287 Li Kuanchen Rebelled

The capital is always the place where news spreads the fastest, and Daqin is no exception.

Fang's front foot was taken into imperial prison by Jin Yiwei, and every family in the capital already knew about the back foot.

The first reaction of the wealthy families is:

"What, the remnants of the Cui family, the rebellious party, this is impossible!"

"Mr. Rui was a great Confucianist at the time, and the Fang family was a wealthy family in Beijing. How could they collude with the Cui family's relatives?"

"This must be the emperor's revenge!"

"Hmph, if you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse!"

"This old man wants to complain for Duke Rui!"

Some people even openly stated that they want to express their opinions.

"Although Duke Rui offended Emperor Luan when he drove into the capital a few days ago, as an emperor, he shouldn't be so narrow-minded, so he would make accusations to frame sages. This is not what Mingjun did!"

But more people were caught off guard, and even panicked.

Because the emperor issued another imperial edict shortly after taking down Fang's family, but he reprimanded Ting Wei for not strictly investigating the remnants of the Cui family.

With this decree, all those who said they would write to Fang Ruiyao to complain about their grievances fell silent.

Because the emperor already understood what he meant. It was false to reprimand Tingwei, and his real intention was undoubtedly to tell those who wanted to dance.

Jump, just jump!
Whoever dances is the accomplice!

So a second ago, he was still full of righteousness, impassioned Qingliu Confucian scholar, a famous man in the capital.

The next second they all fell asleep.

Because they knew very well in their hearts that Cui's matter was about collusion.

Cui has been in the capital for so many years, who dares to say that there is no connection at all.

Just like Fang.

You said you don't believe that Fang and Cui Cen colluded.

So good, tell me clearly, was Cuiping Mountain the Fang family's property before?
Did Cui Cen and his gang raise private soldiers in Cuiping Mountain?
On this point, not to mention collusion.

At least one concealment and non-reporting cannot escape.

If you insist that Mrs. Fang doesn't know anything, I'm afraid many people won't believe it themselves.

But then again.

At that time, the Cui family covered the sky with one hand, so even if the Fang family knew about it, they wanted to go and report it, who to report it to.

Are you going to report to Cui Cen?
But such words can only be said off the stage, but they cannot be said on the stage.

What's more, what the aristocratic family didn't expect was that Jin Yiwei actually obtained the evidence of Fang's and Cui's rebellious parties' collusion.

Although it was not directly colluding with Cui Cen, it was the former Pingyang Ling who colluded with him, and Pingyang Ling also trained hundreds of elite soldiers in private, and most of these people were tenants or even side branches of the Fang family.

The intermediary contact was a servant of the Pingyang county government office, who was also related to the Fang family.

Now all the witnesses and evidences are available.

Moreover, the one who judged all this was Fang's protégé, the current magistrate of Pingyang County.

Upon hearing this news, all the wealthy families in Beijing and the Qingliu Confucian scholars all looked disgusted as if they had eaten flies.

This is indeed very disgusting to the family.

Because the system of disciples and benefactors can be said to be one of the foundations for maintaining the privileges of aristocratic families.

Therefore, in the current values, it is undoubtedly the most immoral and most despicable thing for a disciple to betray his benefactor.

But once something like morality is broken, there is always only a difference between zero and N times.

Once there is the first time, there must be a second time, a third time, and countless times.

This is like the Three Kingdoms era in another time and space. Lu Bu was ridiculed as a slave of the three surnames, and even Zhang Fei, a pig butcher, looked down on him.

But by the time of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, only a few years had passed, and such things had become commonplace.

Especially when the first person to eat crabs, once they get the benefits, there will be others to follow suit.

So Xin Zhao immediately praised the county magistrate named Li Kuanchen.

And conveniently gave him a high-sounding name, called "Small righteousness and great righteousness".

But the wealthy family did not hesitate to criticize Li Kuanchen!
But after talking about it, I can't tell any tricks, it's nothing more than a slave who betrayed the master and the like.

Compared with slogans such as giving up small righteousness and taking great righteousness, it is far worse.

Of course, in terms of market acceptance, the latter is still higher.

After all, the inertia of values ​​cannot be changed overnight.

As the person involved, Li Kuanchen was undoubtedly depressed.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he really never thought about making Zhang Xiaoshi confess to those messy things.

But things have happened.

What can he do.

What's more, he himself is not a staunch person.

Being scolded and scolded, he gradually became a little bit broken.

When he was scolded at first, he felt ashamed and even wanted to resign.

But after being scolded a lot, and those people didn't listen to his explanation at all, his little temper couldn't help being hooked.

"What the hell did I do to you? You risked your own death and colluded with the rebels. I didn't force you."

"I just accidentally found some criminal evidence of the Fang family. If the Fang family didn't commit a crime, would they have such evidence?"

"You don't know how to keep yourself clean, but you blame me instead!"

In this way, his previous shame turned into anger in an instant.

In contrast, the emperor's personal award moved him greatly.

"Sure enough, you are worthy of being the Son of Heaven, what a sage, what you said is so reasonable, the king of heaven and earth is the master and teacher, and the king is only behind the heaven and the earth.

Loyalty to the emperor is of course more important than caring for relatives, and caring for relatives is naturally more important than respecting teachers. "

And Mr. Ning next to the emperor is the real great Confucianism, listen to what he said.

"I love my teacher, but I love the truth more!"

That's right, I just chose righteousness between Xiaoen and righteousness.

Choose justice between favoritism and justice.

The so-called family is nothing but a bunch of dregs.

You scold me, go ahead and scold me, I have a clear conscience, I am just pursuing the justice in my heart.

Once these psychological constructions were completed, Li Kuanchen suddenly felt as if he had been completely reborn.

I no longer care about the monotonous and pale abuse of those wealthy families and those corrupt scholars.

And there is a sense of heroism of "Hengmei coldly pointing fingers at thousands of husbands, bowing their heads willingly as a willing ox".

This point is probably something that those aristocratic families did not expect at all.

Moreover, he quickly realized that Liu Muzhi and others resettled the refugees in less than two days.

Those refugees who were like walking dead, and there were fights all the time, or sneaking incidents disappeared, and all the people were organized.

The entire Cuiping Mountain seems to have turned into a huge construction site overnight.

Under his watchful eyes, the refugees who were said to be vicious and vicious by the people of the family built a room of simple and solid houses, although they were not exquisite.

He saw with his own eyes that from the very beginning, the refugees resisted the government's organization to go to work.

Even if the government said to pay wages, everyone was numb and did not respond.

When the first family of refugees was placed in the houses they built themselves, and the first person received the wages paid by the government according to the agreement, his eyes began to light up.

On the third day, everyone finally believed that what the court said was true, and those houses were actually built for themselves.

Moreover, the imperial court actually paid them their wages, so he heard that some refugees began to laugh at the stupidity of the imperial court this year, asking them to build a house for themselves, and even paying their wages and rations.
