Your Majesty, I'm Guilty

Gu Wenjun knew nothing about his plan to respect the king.

She didn't even know that Jing Wang came to Huizhou. How could she know that anyone would think that his highness King Jing's return to Beijing was a struggle with the emperor.

No one could have imagined that King Jing not only didn't stay in the capital and try to recover the city, but came to Huizhou in silence after he suffered a dull loss from his Majesty the emperor!

But since Gu Wenjun can meet Liu Liu, this matter implicates Jing Wang, indicating that there are many connections.

Now it involves the governance of governor Zhou Liheng and Lord Zhou - Gu Wenjun knows that there must be problems in Huizhou.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't lie to you. Please believe me and save Huizhou!" Cai Jin still tried to persuade him.

Gu Wenjun frowned and fell into deep thought.

Of course she doesn't doubt Cai Jin. As far as I can see, all poverty and hardships are bloody suffering. How can Gu Wenjun not believe it.

Among the scholars on one side, there were several busy retorts.

"Aren't there some poor people in Huizhou? There are thousands of people in this world. There are always poor and rich. Isn't that nothing?"

"Although these people have suffered a little, the people in the city are rich and safe. If you want to protect one side, you will inevitably have to sacrifice. Lord Zhou may have considered it carefully."

"Cai Jin, you are alarmist! No matter how Huizhou is, it can't be saved. There are more down-to-earth places outside!"

Cai Jin's face flushed.

He opened his mouth to argue, but could not speak. He is tall and big, but his mouth is very stupid. He comes and goes in a few words.

"No! I grew up in Huizhou. I personally feel the disadvantages here, not what you think..."

Others can't feel it, so naturally they can't convince everyone.

Gu Wenjun frowned and his eyes sank slightly. Cai Jin scratched her ears and cheeks, trying to figure out the essence in a paragraph.

"The people in the city are doing well, but those outside the city are down here. This day is different. No Huizhou people would want to live in this slum.

Then who will decide whether Huizhou people live in the city or in this cave, and on what basis? "

Other scholars answered without thinking, "of course it's money! Poor people naturally go outside!"

Gu Wenjun asked, "how did adults judge who had money and who had no money?"

She is guiding these scholars to think deeply.

Youhumanity: "you can't tell if you have money at a glance?"

Gu Wenjun shook his head and looked sad.

The rich will hide, and the poor will pretend to be rich. Lord Zhou obviously has a more practical method.

Cai Jin replied, "it's tax!"

"In addition to the taxes stipulated by the imperial court, Lord Zhou will requisition another sum of money from Huizhou every month. If he can't afford it, it will also fall to the poor."

Gu Wenjun finally nodded, but his delicate eyebrows and eyes were more worried.

Tax?

How dare Huizhou go beyond the imperial court and set taxes privately?

People finally realized what the huge gap between the rich and the poor outside the city meant.

And how did Lord Zhou "enforce the law with dignity" in Huizhou.

If you don't say you can't pay the amount, you will be driven to the slums, and then you will be beaten into a Dalit. You can't find a good job, you can't get trust, and you can't get any hope at all.

Even once they resist and slander Lord Zhou, there are countless ways to let those "noisy and talkative" people go to the slums and disappear quietly.

Local scholars who can afford to study generally have a small family background and are naturally not troubled by these problems. Those who are troubled dare not speak up.

Those who rush to take the exam from abroad will go back to all places in a hurry and will not study deeply.

Only Cai Jin, a lowly peasant, suffered deeply and suffered unspeakably. He happened to meet such a figure as Gu Wenjun, so he couldn't bear to shake it off.

Once the illusion painstakingly created is pierced, there are loopholes everywhere.

Everyone shivered at the thought of the bustling scene when they first saw Huizhou.

Who knows how many murderous and bloodless cruel exploitation are hidden behind the scenes.

If Huizhou is allowed to do so, where should all parts of the world?

Besides, every prefecture in Huizhou dares to do this. What's the powerful backing behind it?

The crowd was so awe inspiring that they completely lost the reason to refute Cai Jin.

Those who are afraid turn to another road.

"In fact, we're here to take the HKCEE. We're not even Huizhou people. In fact, these things have nothing to do with us. Childe Gu, we'd better find a foothold quickly."

"Yes, we are just scholars. We have no power if we want to."

"We can't help anything. Let's continue on the road with a little money."

These voices represent the thoughts of most people. Believe it or not, no matter what you think, the first thought in everyone's heart when they hear Lord Zhou is to shrink back.

The heart can't bear it. It's warm-hearted to open its mouth. It's also quiet and speechless.

This is beyond the reach of power, and there is no way!

This is also human nature.

They came to Huizhou to take part in the joint examination, aiming at the broad future. Who knows if Lord Zhou will be their immediate boss in the future.

Regardless of the future, just the present. A comment from Lord Zhou can affect or even determine the fate of an examinee.

Lord Zhou is not an examiner, but the words of the governor of a state are extremely important.

It's ridiculous for them to think about bringing down Lord Zhou and saving Huizhou!

Even Gu Wenjun can't do it at all.

Gu Wenjun is indeed a well-known young talent. But does she have real power? Are you capable?

Gu Wenjun had almost nothing except a family who didn't even recognize her identity.

So these scholars wanted to take Gu Wenjun away. Some were timid and others sincerely advised her.

Many people can see that Gu Wenjun is said to be proud.

Otherwise, she would dissuade Cai Jin at the beginning, rather than let him go on and even help explain.

Ah Wu took a worried look and couldn't help reminding: "young master..."

Gu Wenjun waved his hand and motioned that he didn't have to say more. Then he took out the money bag given to her by ah Wu.

She held her breath and said slowly, "Cai Jin brought us here to find accommodation.

I read it and said it's easy to eat and live here, so I'll take a rest here. If you like, you can join me; if you don't want, I'll thank you for speaking up for me and leaving the inn. "

"What!"

Gu Wenjun's words immediately caused a uproar.

"Childe Gu, are you crazy? This is a slum!"

Someone said fiercely: "this is a fool - I don't live here. I shouldn't have come out with you before. I'm going back to the inn!"

Some hesitated and looked at the conditions of the slums.

Even Cai Jin couldn't believe it. He opened his mouth and stared at Gu Wenjun. After a long time, he stammered: "childe Gu, I'm afraid it's not suitable to prepare for the test."

He just wanted to lead Gu Wenjun over, but he didn't want to really let people live.

Ah Wu beside Gu Wenjun also frowned.

In a moment, three people left the team and left without looking back.

However, more people choose to stay.

Not because they want to live in this slum, not because they are persuaded by Cai Jin, not to mention because they have the courage to fight the governor of Huizhou.

They didn't go because of Gu Wenjun!

This seemingly spotless young man is as cold as the moon and as beautiful as the sunset, but he has such a kind and warm heart.

When people touch, they feel good.

Many scholars admire Gu Wenjun from the bottom of their hearts, and their willingness to follow is stronger.

But one yard to one yard.

Even if Gu Wenjun is willing to do this for Huizhou, what does he think of staying in the slums?

Is it true that such a talented man with a clear breeze after the moon will also have a hot head and act so recklessly?

Another two people hesitated, tangled for a long time, or said goodbye to Gu Wenjun. Gu Wenjun didn't stop them from leaving.

Cai Jin is more worried than Gu Wenjun, for fear that Gu Wenjun will lose his reputation and admirers.

"Childe Gu, this matter is very important. We're not in a hurry. Let's go to another place first."

Gu Wenjun shook his head and told him to wait.

Until a while later, no one left on their own. Gu Wenjun looked around and wrote down the last scholar's faces before he finally opened his mouth.

"Don't forget, your majesty personally ordered to change the title of the joint examination this time."

"Is to reform the official system!"

Her tone was long and calm, with amazing persuasion. "Huizhou is not only the examination room we will try, but also the examination questions!

All the answers are written on paper. Now, ladies and gentlemen, what you have in front of you is an opportunity to practice. If you do a good job -- "

As soon as Gu Wenjun's voice fell, the heavy atmosphere changed. From Cai Jin to all the scholars left behind, their eyes brightened and they were eager to take revenge.

It boosted her morale, but Gu Wenjun's mood did not improve. On the contrary, she was in a blue mood.

There must be something behind this.

Gu Wenjun heard ah Wu whisper in a very low voice: "young master, you'd better tell your majesty about this."

Yes, I don't have to turn around this time. I have to contact your majesty.
