"Wait!!"

Hearing Zhao Junchen's voice, Liu Changan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand why Zhao Junchen would stop him, and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, this Zhang Qicheng sabotaged the sacrifice and slandered the court officials at will, the crime is extremely evil, and it must be punished, otherwise it will not be possible to correct the discipline!" โ€

Zhao Junchen glared at Liu Changan covertly, and said slowly: "This official does things for people, he has always been upright and bright, and everything is unknown, this Zhang Qicheng is certainly guilty, but since he questioned this official in person, then this official should also argue with him and give him a chance to speak." (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the Wรจn Novel Network biquge.info)"

Noticing the warning in Zhao Junchen's eyes, Liu Changan hesitated for a moment, but finally followed Zhao Junchen's instructions and let the officials let go of Zhang Qicheng.

And that Zhang Qicheng, not only looked fearless when the officials arrested him, but after the officials let him go, he had an expression that he had expected to be, and he didn't say much, just continued to confront Zhao Junchen with provocative eyes.

On the contrary, the scholars around Zhang Qicheng gradually had some uneasy looks, but they still gathered around Zhang Qicheng to show their support.

Obviously, although Zhao Junchen has the intention to change his image as a corrupt official, even if he can deceive ordinary people, he can't hide from these scholars who "know the world without leaving the house".

After the officials let go of Zhang Qicheng, Zhao Junchen asked: "You just said that there are corrupt officials here who behave and deceive the people, but you are talking about this official?" โ€

"It's you Zhao Junchen!!" Zhang Qicheng said with hatred on his face, word by word: "You Zhao Junchen's corruption and bribery, framing Zhongliang, and what you did are known to the world!" Over the years, you have served as a household servant, deceived your superiors and subordinates, and embezzled how many taels of silver from the treasury before and after, do you think no one knows? Not to mention anything else, just your mansion in Beijing, which covers an area of up to 100 acres, is still expanding vigorously, how much silver has been invested before and after? Can you raise it just by relying on your little money? Li Wenxuan, a former scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, participated in your book because of this matter, and you repeatedly slandered and slandered in front of His Majesty. Poor Mr. Li, who was originally the leader of Shilin and had a good reputation all over the world, finally died in prison because of the unwarranted crime of disrespect!! Who in Shilin doesn't know about this? And who doesn't hate? Don't you think that if you act here, you can reverse black and white and deceive the people, I, Zhang Qicheng, can't be fooled by you!! โ€

After hearing Zhang Qicheng's words, the people around the altar were all talking. This Zhang Qicheng is quite famous in Lu'an Mansion, and when he heard Zhang Qicheng comment on Zhao Junchen, the concept of "Zhao Junchen is a good official" that had just been formed in the hearts of the people couldn't help but be shaken.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

Zhang Qicheng said these things, Zhao Junchen, who is now Li Dai Taozhuang, is not clear, but after hearing Zhang Qicheng say this, Zhao Junchen is more at ease.

Without him, Zhang Qicheng has no evidence, but he is reckless, since this is the case, then it is not necessary to complain that Zhao Junchen wants to reverse black and white.

On the other side, Zhang Qicheng was even more impassioned when he spoke, and he actually took out an article from his sleeve and said loudly: "This is the eight major sins I have summarized for you Zhao Junchen, each of which is an unpardonable capital crime!" Today I will read them out one by one in front of the people, so that the people can see your true colors!! โ€

However, Zhang Qicheng had just opened the Chinese chapter in his hand, and before he could read it, Zhao Junchen had already raised his voice to stop it: "Stop, stop, this official gave you the opportunity to speak, now that you have said so much, isn't it time for this official to say a few words?" โ€

Zhang Qicheng looked up at Zhao Junchen, who was still standing on the altar, and sneered: "What, are you afraid?" โ€

Zhao Junchen said solemnly: "This official is not afraid of shadows, what is there to fear?" I just want to ask you, you just said that this official is a corrupt official, a traitor, corrupt and bribery, framed Zhongliang, and summed up the eight deadly sins for this official, and any of these are what you have seen with your own eyes? Or do you have evidence in your hands? โ€

After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Zhang Qicheng couldn't help but be stunned.

He is a scholar, but he is a talented and famous, where can he grasp the evidence of Zhao Junchen's crimes?

It's just that Zhang Qicheng's father Zhang Xuan used to be a servant in the ministry and had a lot of old friends in the officialdom. After Zhang Xuan's death, these old friends took care of Zhang Qicheng quite a lot, and also let Zhang Qicheng know a lot of things about Zhao Junchen, so although there is no evidence, Zhang Qicheng has always been convinced of the view that "Zhao Junchen is a big corrupt official".

In fact, Li Wenxuan, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion who was falsely imprisoned by Zhao Junchen, is one of Zhang Qicheng's father's old friends, and Zhang Qicheng has received a lot of favors from him over the years. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Qicheng is so resentful of Zhao Junchen.

But these reasons can't be explained after all, so Zhang Qicheng can only answer Zhao Junchen's question: "As a cloth cloth, where can I find evidence?" And what you Zhao Junchen did, who in the world doesn't know? Where do I need to see it with my own eyes? The people of the world, can they all misunderstand you? โ€

Zhao Junchen sneered: "Even if the saint is rich in the world today, if you want to convict people, you need to find evidence first, how come you Zhang Qicheng here, the evidence has become dispensable?" โ€

Seeing Zhang Qi's idiom, Zhao Junchen continued: "However, since you said so, that means that all the charges you deducted from this official are all rumors that people have heard about them?" โ€

Zhang Qicheng was speechless again, not knowing how to fight back, only feeling that this qiฤ“ was very different from what he imagined.

Originally, in Zhang Qicheng's imagination, as long as he stood up to question Zhao Junchen and read the "Eight Deadly Sins" again, Zhao Junchen would be deterred by his "righteousness" and finally settle the matter; Or they will be angry and put him in prison. And no matter which one it is, it can make Zhao Junchen reveal his true face in front of the people.

But Zhang Qicheng didn't expect that Zhao Junchen, as a member of the imperial court, would debate with him here with great interest, and his eloquence was quite good, and he was critical in his words.

In the final analysis, Zhang Qicheng's previous assumptions were just scholars' opinions, and they were just taken for granted.

On the other side, seeing that Zhang Qicheng continued to speak, Zhao Junchen took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "Since you only decided that this official is a corrupt official after hearing rumors, then this official asks you, who did you listen to?" Oh? Don't want to say? The official asked you again, the person who spread the rumors, has he ever seen the official corrupt and bribery and framed Zhongliang? Or is the person who is rumored to be in the clouds? โ€

Seeing that Zhang Qicheng still didn't know how to answer, his expression was ashamed and embarrassed, and he had been forced into a corner by Zhao Junchen's successive questions, Zhao Junchen snorted and asked again: "This official sees that you are a scholar, do you know the story of the three of you becoming tigers?" What is the article "Confucius's Family Sayings: The Twentieth in Eritre"? โ€

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Zhang Qicheng already knew what Zhao Junchen wanted to say, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end he chose to continue to be silent, just gritting his teeth and glaring at Zhao Junchen hatefully.

Zhao Junchen sneered: "Seeing that you dare to question this official face to face, I thought you were a talent, although you were a little reckless and reckless, but you also lost your courage, but I didn't expect that you not only have no opinions, but only know how to follow the clouds, and now you haven't even read through the words of the saint!" Where is Governor Liu!? โ€

Liu Changan hurriedly replied: "Xia Guan is here!" โ€

Zhao Junchen said: "To this Zhang Qicheng and the people around me, explain the "Confucius Family Language: The Twentieth in Eritre". In the vernacular, everyone in the province does not understand. โ€

"Do as you say." After Liu Changan received the order, he turned to look at Zhang Qicheng, and saw that Zhang Qicheng's expression was uncertain, and he only felt extremely happy in his heart.

After clearing his throat, Liu Changan raised his voice and said: "Back then, Sage Kong and his disciples were besieged in the land of Chen and Cai, lacking food and clothing, and were hungry. And during Yan Hui's cooking porridge, Confucius happened to pass by, and saw that Yan Hui was secretly eating, and couldn't help but get angry, so he went to question Yan Hui, and after Yan Hui's explanation, Confucius knew that Yan Hui was not stealing, but dust fell into the porridge, Yan Hui was afraid that Confucius would eat bad stomach, and he didn't want to waste food, so he ate it first, after learning the truth, Confucius couldn't help but sigh, even what he saw with his own eyes could be wrong, not to mention hearsay? โ€

After explaining, Liu Changan looked at Zhang Qicheng with a smile and asked, "Zhang Xiucai, do you understand the truth in "Confucius's Family Sayings: The Twentieth in Er"?" โ€

On the other side, Zhang Daoquan suddenly stood up and said to the people under the altar and Zhang Qicheng: "People, don't be deceived by this Zhang Qicheng, these days, what Lord Qincha has done for Lu'an Mansion, I have seen it one by one, the disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court, the total price is as high as tens of thousands of taels of silver, Lord Qincha did not move, and handed over all the money to the Lu'an Mansion, not only that, Lord Qincha saw that there were many people in Lu'an Mansion, worried that the disaster relief food was not enough, and he has been running everywhere these days, Raise money and food for disaster relief for the people of Lu'an Province. Lord Qincha inspects the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven, how honorable is his status? For the sake of the people of Lu'an Mansion, we did not hesitate to bow our heads everywhere and beg for help!! And today, in order to lead everyone to exterminate locusts, under the witness of heaven and earth, I am willing to bear the punishment of heaven with my own strength!! Everyone said, can such an official be a corrupt official?! โ€

Although Zhang Daoquan is just a god, his reputation in Lu'an Mansion is much higher than that of Zhang Qicheng, and as he expressed his attitude, the people finally believed, and under the leadership of Zhang Daoquan, cheered towards Zhao Junchen.

"Lord Zhao is a good official!!"

On the other side, Guo Linxiang, He Zeng and other Jin merchants, as well as Liu Changan and other local officials, also shouted in amusement.

Zhao Junchen glanced at Zhang Daoquan and nodded slightly in appreciation. And noticing Zhao Junchen's actions, Zhang Daoquan was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that he had made the right bet.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

At this time, Zhang Qicheng is as uncomfortable as he wants, unlike ordinary people, although he has no evidence, but through all channels, he is very clear about Zhao Junchen's roots, and now seeing Zhao Junchen so foolish and deceiving the people, he only feels angry, and the strange eyes of the people around him look at him make him very uncomfortable.

Even, even the classmates around him who had always been good friends with him looked at him with more suspicion when they looked at him at this time.

After this incident, at least in Lu'an Mansion, he Zhang Qicheng's comment that he was "reckless and reckless, has no opinions, only knows that everyone is the same, and he has not even read through the words of the saints", which has been settled.

Seeing that the people around him were cheering at Zhao Junchen, and the officials, merchants, and squires were also obedient to Zhao Junchen, but Zhao Junchen stood calmly on the altar, without any expression, just silently looking at this qiฤ“, Zhang Qicheng's heart suddenly felt a little terrifying.

"This Zhao Junchen is not only despicable, but also has such means, the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later be harmed in his hands!!"

Thinking like this, Zhao Junchen did not become angry, but Zhang Qicheng first became angry, pointed at Zhao Junchen and shouted: "Zhao Junchen, you corrupt official and traitor!" Do you think that if you can hide it from the people of a place, you will be able to hide it from the people of the world? Do you think you can hide it for a while, and you can hide it for a lifetime? Zhao Junchen! Your true face will be exposed sooner or later!! โ€

His voice was so loud that it overwhelmed the cheers of the surrounding people and reached Zhao Junchen's ears.

After Zhao Junchen glanced at Zhang Qicheng, he shouted to the people under the altar: "Everyone be quiet!" โ€

When the area around the altar finally quieted down, Zhao Junchen raised his voice and said: "People, the official knows that over the years, because someone maliciously slandered the official, the official's reputation among the people is not good, but as the saying goes, it is better to hear than to see, the official is standing here now, you can take this opportunity to see whether the official is a clean official or a corrupt official, the locust plague in Lu'an Mansion is rampant, and everyone has no harvest, but the official guarantees that no one will be left without food, otherwise, there is no need for others to slander, The official admits that he is a corrupt official!! โ€

For the people, in the era of famine, there is nothing more beneficial than "being able to eat", so after hearing Zhao Junchen's assurance, the people cheered even more, and faintly, there were even calls for "blue sky" one after another.

In this era, the threshold for Qing officials is extremely low, as long as you can let the people live, then you are the master of the blue sky!! In the eyes of the people, Zhao Junchen already meets this standard.

Looking at the reaction of the people, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction, he knew that from today onwards, his bad reputation all over the world, at least in Lu'an Mansion, would be completely reversed. And based on Lu'an Mansion, the people's perception of him in the world will gradually improve, and Zhao Junchen's goal has finally been initially achieved.

However, satisfaction is satisfaction, but Zhao Junchen is not happy, because he actually doesn't like to fool the people, after all, he was also a member of the people in his previous life. But in order to reverse his current unfavorable situation, Zhao Junchen had to do this - his reputation is too bad now, if he doesn't reverse it, he will really "not kill is not enough to comfort the world".

Satisfied, guilty, helpless, or with a hint of pride, Zhao Junchen's current mood is quite complicated.

On the other side, Liu Changan saw that the general trend had been decided, and while admiring it in his heart, he walked quickly to Zhao Junchen's side and asked: "My lord, this Zhang Qicheng sabotaged the sacrifice and slandered the court officials, which is a heinous crime, what do you say should be done?" โ€

For Zhang Qicheng, Zhao Junchen actually doesn't hate it, and even admires it a little, after all, no matter what era it is, there are not many people like Zhang Qicheng who are righteous and courageous. At least, Zhao Junchen asked himself, if he and Zhang Qicheng's positions were exchanged, Zhao Junchen at this time was afraid that he would be "poor and alone".

Considering the influence of Shilin, Zhao Junchen was not prepared to severely punish Zhang Qicheng.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, when the people were quiet again, Zhao Junchen said to Zhang Qicheng: "Zhang Qicheng, you slandered the court officials today and destroyed the sacrificial ceremony, it stands to reason that no matter how much this official punishes you!" But this official thinks that you are just being bewitched by others, and you have no malicious intentions, and you are still excusable, and you are not severely punished, but only take away your talent and fame, can you be convinced? โ€

The reason why Zhao Junchen wants to take away Zhang Qicheng's fame is to prevent him from becoming an official in the future, in fact, there is also a reason for Zhang Qicheng's consideration.

Although this Zhang Qicheng has righteousness and does not lack courage, his righteousness and courage are often expressed in the form of recklessness and recklessness, and such a person, when he enters the officialdom, will definitely be played with applause and still do not know it, and he will not end well-just like Zhao Junchen is using him today.

In this case, it is better to cut off his path to becoming an official as soon as possible, and let him be a teacher in Lu'an Mansion with peace of mind.

The danger of officialdom is better than the battlefield, and people like Zhang Qicheng are better off not getting involved.

I thought that Zhang Qicheng would oppose fiercely, but to Zhao Junchen's surprise, this Zhang Qicheng first looked at the people around him in a daze, and then looked at Zhao Junchen in a daze for a long time, and then regained his calm.

"If you've already said that, what's the use of me objecting?" Zhang Qicheng first said this slowly with an expressionless face, and then asked Zhao Junchen loudly: "Since you are so magnanimous, I don't know what the innocent people who attacked the adults a few days ago are going to deal with them?" With such no trial, no punishment, and such detention for no reason, how can the people feel at ease? โ€

Liu Changan saw that Zhang Qicheng not only had to make inches, but also did not forget to secretly ridicule Zhao Junchen at this time - "the innocent people who attacked adults"!! Since the people are innocent, doesn't that mean that Zhao Junchen deserves to be stoned? -- In anger, he was ready to rebuke loudly.

However, before he could speak, he was stopped by Zhao Junchen waving his hand.

I only heard Zhao Junchen shouting at the people under the altar: "A few days ago, some people threw stones to attack the official, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the light is thirty rods, and the heavy should be beheaded, but the official knows that they are just misled, so they have no intention of severely punishing, although they are put in prison, but they have never been abused, for this, when they are released from prison in the future, you can ask them in person." Originally, I was going to lock them up for a while, so that they could understand the truth that the law and discipline of the court could not be violated, but now that the locusts are exterminated, it is the time to employ people, and the official has decided to release them in advance, so that they will be punished for their crimes, and if they are good during the locust extermination, the official will no longer investigate their crimes! โ€

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, the cheers among the people rose again.

"Lord Qincha is really a good official!"

"You can not blame the people who attacked you in the past, even Bao Qingtian of the Song Dynasty can't do it, right?"

"It seems that this Lord Chincha really loves the people! In the past, someone slandered this adult as a corrupt official, which is really bad-hearted! โ€

When the words of the people came into his ears, Zhang Qicheng understood that he had lost this battle of public opinion, and he had lost very badly.

sighed, and after taking a deep look at Zhao Junchen, who was receiving the cheers of the people on the altar again, he hid his resentment and unwillingness in the depths of his heart, Zhang Qicheng didn't say anything, just quietly turned around and left.

The back is bleak and lonely.

"The sacrifice to heaven is over, for the sake of the world's peace, for the harvest of the coming year, people, we will exterminate the locusts!!"

Zhao Junchen didn't pay attention to Zhang Qicheng's departure, but just announced loudly to the people.

โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ

When Zhao Junchen stepped off the altar, Xu Qingyan hurriedly came to Zhao Junchen with a bowl of water, and said, "Young master, it's hard work." โ€

Zhao Junchen nodded, didn't say anything, just drank the water in the bowl.

On the altar, in order to let more people hear his voice clearly, Zhao Junchen has been shouting at the top of his throat, and now his mouth is dry and his throat is unbearable.

And Xu Qingyan was a villain, gloating: "That Zhang Qicheng dared to provoke the young master, he really couldn't do it!" โ€

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "I can't say that, in fact, this Zhang Qicheng appeared at the right time, I am in the hearts of the people, the image of corrupt officials has been circulating for a long time, and if I want to reverse this impression, the people will inevitably be uncomfortable, and have doubts in their hearts, and with this debate, the people will think that I was slandered and slandered before, and the effect is better, so speaking, we also want to thank that Zhang Qicheng." โ€

Xu Qingyan smiled: "The young master still understands it!" โ€

Zhao Junchen sighed lightly and said: "However, we must also find some of our own people in Shilin, otherwise no matter what we do, it will be a symptom but not a root cause after all, and we will get twice the result with half the effort." In the end, the public opinion in the world is still in the hands of those who read books and Qingliu. They have a high reputation, and the people believe in them, and with their help in speaking, we can save us a lot of trouble. Therefore, from now on, we must not only change the people's perception of me, but also the readers' perception of me. Just like today, if it weren't for me being present and being made such a fuss by Zhang Qicheng, all our preparations would have fallen short. โ€

Xu Qingyan nodded again and again, and said: "I heard that Zhang Qicheng relied on his father's Yu Yin, and he has always been unscrupulous, that is, the young master, so that he can be submissive." โ€

Zhao Junchen shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be a sycophant, let's go." โ€

Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?" โ€

"Do a full set of dramas, at this time, I naturally do it myself, and go to kill locusts with the people, where else can I go?"
