Chapter 359: Proving Innocence
After listening to Mo Yi's introduction, Su Wen immediately stood up from his seat. Despite her young age and a girl, she had a grim look on her face, which made up for the disadvantages of these conditions.
Facing the eyes of dozens of celebrities in the capital, Su Wen did not show the slightest panic. She sorted out the development process of the whole thing clearly, and tried to be as calm and objective as possible in the middle. She knew that these celebrities had their own sources and had more or less learned some of the truth, so there was no concealment or obvious favoritism in the process of telling.
After listening to her story, dozens of celebrities present couldn't help but glance at Su Wengao. They expected to hear her one-sided accusations, but what they heard turned out to be surprisingly objective.
Seeing the reactions of dozens of celebrities and gentlemen present, Su Wen was quite satisfied. It was not in vain that she carefully designed this press conference, and they at least had a certain affection for her. As long as it is used well, these feelings can quickly evolve into sympathy and support. The purpose of their press conference is to win the sympathy of the mainstream public opinion in society, so they are one step closer to this goal.
After telling the story of this incident, Su Wen began to think of a way to excuse Hong Qian. Just now I was just foreshadowing, and this is the time to cut to the real point.
Coughing lightly, Su Wencai said with a serious face: "You are all famous celebrities, and you must have heard of Mr. Hong for a long time. In your eyes, I believe that what kind of person Mr. is, I believe it has long been decided. Su Wen doesn't want to defend anything here, but some things have to be made clear, otherwise the truth will be covered up by lies. ”
Hear her say so. Immediately, a celebrity asked curiously: "Miss Hua, if you have anything to explain clearly, please speak up." If you can return Mr. Hong's innocence, you will stand up to the end. ”
When Su Wen heard this, he was quite happy in his heart, and immediately said with a serious face: "Thank you for this gentleman's support, Su Wen and the two senior brothers are grateful." Okay, let's gossip and get straight to the point. As we all know, eighty percent of the results of this imperial examination were from the south. The northern Juzi only occupies 20%. ”
Listen to her mention it. Another celebrity in the audience nodded and agreed: "Yes, this is indeed the case. When the list was released, Lao Yu took a special look at it, and he is still very impressed. ”
Glancing at the person who spoke. Su Wen nodded slightly. Then he said with a serious face: "It is based on this. Only then did the northern juzi decide that there was a fraud in the imperial examination, and gathered people to petition outside the gate of the imperial city. We would like to say just two words about such a designation - nonsense. ”
Facing the two words she left behind. Immediately, a celebrity in the audience questioned: "Miss Hua, is it a bit too arbitrary for you to give such an evaluation?" After all, the results of the imperial examination are there, and no one else can doubt it? ”
Hearing this question, Su Wen immediately said with a confident face: "I must say, this question is a good question." After listening to what I just said, you must all have such questions. Whether it is arbitrary or not, after listening to our evidence, you may be able to come to the final answer. Everyone has a scale in their hearts, and they can measure right and wrong. ”
Seeing that she showed a confident look, a celebrity in the audience immediately asked curiously: "Miss Hua, looking at your confident appearance now, you should have the confidence to persuade us, but I don't know what kind of basis it is?" ”
Seeing that someone took the initiative to ask, Su Wen immediately replied with a serious face: "Everyone, my husband has been famous for many years, what has he done to endanger the people of Li from beginning to end?" As far as Su Wen knows, from the day he entered the court as an official, Mr. has never taken a stitch from the people. Not only that, but he also often went to various colleges every year to give voluntary lectures, and never received a penny. ”
Hearing her words, the celebrities present couldn't help nodding secretly. Hong Qian's reputation as an official has always been good, which they have all heard of, and it is impossible to deny it.
Seeing them nodding their heads, Su Wen was greatly encouraged, and immediately made persistent efforts and said: "Everyone, after so many years, Mr. has been clean on his sleeves, could he suddenly change his personality one day after many years?" This is like a person who has accumulated virtue and done good deeds for decades, and suddenly one day he does something to kill people and sell goods. As long as you don't lose your heart, I believe that no one will do such a stupid thing that is not guaranteed in the evening. ”
Hearing her say this, the celebrities present nodded in agreement. In their opinion, Hong Qiandu has been incorruptible for most of his life, and there is no need to make such a mistake of self-destruction of the Great Wall at this time.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Su Wen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't forget to continue to say with a serious face: "Based on the above discussion, we can at least draw a conclusion. Mr. has been clean all his life, and there is no need to do self-destructive things at this age. In other words, Mr. did not have any motive for the case of fraud in the imperial examination. ”
After listening to her analysis, all the celebrities present had to nod their heads in agreement. Hong Qian has been honest for most of his life, and there is no need to do such a stupid thing at this time.
Seeing that everyone was moved, Su Wen was happy in his heart, and immediately said with a serious face: "In addition to having no motive for committing the crime, Mr. also has no time to commit the crime. After Mr. was appointed as the chief examiner of the imperial examination, he has been staying in the capital, and has been busy preparing for the imperial examination during this period. I heard that I only took one day off during the Chinese New Year, so can I still have time to do other things when I am so busy? ”
After listening to her analysis, everyone felt very reasonable. Hong Qian was appointed as the chief examiner of the imperial examination after returning from Yunzhou, and since then he has been busy preparing for the examination, and it is impossible to have extra time to conspire with others.
As for the time in Yunzhou, everyone didn't think that Hong Qian had any room to commit crimes. You must know that being appointed as the chief examiner of the imperial examination is an accidental event, and it is estimated that even Hong Qian himself did not expect such an errand. Besides, Chen Dequan was by his side at the time, and doubting Hong Qian was tantamount to suspecting Chen Dequan of leaking information.
Regarding the suspicion of Chen Dequan, everyone thinks it is better not to mention it. They are still self-aware, and they know that they and Chen Dequan are by no means a heavyweight existence.
Seeing the look of approval on everyone's faces, Su Wen knew that he had already succeeded halfway, and immediately continued to speak; "If you feel that the above two conditions are not convincing enough, then take a look at the list released by the imperial examination. Put yourself in your shoes, if you want to cheat in the imperial examination, will you make such a huge disparity in the proportion of the north and the south? ”
Listening to her questioning, all the celebrities present couldn't help but seriously consider this issue. If they are the main examiners of the imperial examination and want to cheat, of course, it is impossible to make such a huge disparity in the proportion of the northern and southern students on the list, and cause unnecessary trouble for themselves.
Seeing that they had already believed six or seven percent, Su Wen decided to add more fire, so he said with a serious face: "Everyone, they all say that this list is boring, and Mr. is obviously biased towards southern students. When considering this issue, it is necessary for us to take a look at the identities of these students on the list, and how many of them have had a relationship with Mr. ”
Hearing her mention this question, all the celebrities present immediately became interested. I hadn't thought about it before, but now that they heard her say this, they were curious.
Coughing lightly, Su Wen said with a serious face: "Mr. has been an official in the capital all these years, and the academies where he lectures are basically near the capital, except for Haoran Academy. Even in Haoran College, Mr. actually did not go out of his way to give lectures. In this imperial examination, Haoran Academy has a total of nine people on the list. ”
Nine people may seem like a lot, but in reality there are not many of them. Haoran Academy is the most famous academy in Jiangnan, and there will be many students who pass the imperial examination every time, and this number is even a little less than in previous years.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Su Wen said with a serious face: "Ladies and gentlemen, there were eleven people in Haoran Academy's last imperial examination, and there were two more than this time. If Mr. is involved in cheating, there is no reason to turn a blind eye to the students of Haoran College. Except for the students of Haoran Academy, you must know that other southern gentlemen have never seen it. ”
After listening to her introduction, no matter what everyone present thought before coming, they all had to admit that Hong Qian was definitely not involved in the fraud case.
There was no motive for committing the crime, no time for committing the crime, and no benefit from the results. The existence of these three alone is enough to show that Hong Qian did not participate in the imperial examination fraud case. Although some people come with prejudice, in the face of this meticulous logic, they have to admit that their previous suspicions are so fragile.
Seeing that dozens of celebrities present nodded in agreement, a stone hanging in Mo Yi's heart finally fell to the ground. Although he has confidence in Su Wen, he is still a little worried, for fear that Su Wen will not be able to control the factory.
Seeing the reactions of the celebrities, the tense string in Su Wen's heart finally relaxed completely this time. Through careful logical reasoning, she finally cleared Hong Qian's suspicion. After completing this task, it is time for her to move on to the next task, so she can't rest for the time being.
After taking a sip of water, Su Wen moistened his throat slightly, and then continued with a serious face: "Everyone, after talking about the question of Mr., let's now discuss the performance of the northern juzi. ”
Helping Hong Qian clear his suspicions, Su Wen immediately turned his attention to the group of troublesome northern lifters. sent Hong Qian to the prison, she will not forget such kindness. Knowing the kindness of the newspaper, this is the good character of Su Wen. Although she didn't plan to really do anything with them, she still had to teach at least a lesson.
If you dare to do it, you must dare to bear it, and the cheapness of Hongqian is not so easy to take advantage of. (To be continued......)
