Does Zhang Yuan need to explain anything to others in Du County?

No, you don't.

He was going to gather the candidates, just to announce his decision, not to explain something to the candidates.

Zhang Yuan gave King Wuqiu Shou an hour's time.

An hour later, nearly 4,000 candidates who had already been selected had gathered in the square of the front hall.

At this hour, Liu Che naturally also knew about Zhang Yuan's convening of the students.

His eyes were once again focused on Du County, and the embroidered messengers were about to be sent to Jianzhang Palace almost as soon as they had a cup of tea.

The entire Du County gathered up to 100 embroidered messengers.

This treatment?

Tian Wei can't enjoy it, at most, when the army goes out on an expedition, Liu Che will stuff so many embroidered messengers into the army at once to deliver news for Liu Che.

Zhang Yuan was standing on the high platform in front of the front hall at this moment.

There were officials with more than 600 stones of Taixue standing beside him, and there were some lecturers, and none of the doctors of the Five Classics came.

At the foot of the steps were more than 4,000 students, not only those candidates, but even the original students of Taixue also came to join in the fun.

This kind of opportunity to watch the excitement is not very common, and Zhang Yuan has always been mysterious in Taixue, which makes the previous Taixue students even more curious about how Zhang Yuan will deal with rumors.

"Do you know who I am?"

More than ninety percent of the candidates have never seen Zhang Yuan, but there are still some people who have seen Zhang Yuan before, and these people are the candidates who watched at the Chengbei Inn that day.

"The student meets Taixue Ling."

No matter how the rumors spread, in front of everyone's eyes, these candidates have done what they should have, although many people are not very willing.

"It's good to recognize it, in the past few days, I heard that Du County is talking about me Zhang Yuan, but I didn't expect that I have been low-key to this point as an official, and some people have been staring at me, which is really an honor."

When the candidates below heard Zhang Yuan say this, most of them reacted with scoff, but a small number of people still shouted loudly.

"Taixue Ling, students believe in your character, rumors stop at the wise, you don't have to care about what others say."

These people are the ones who saw Zhang Yuan helping the innkeeper in the north of the city that day, for the sake of an ordinary livelihood, Zhang Yuan can pull a hand, is it necessary to harm the students?

If there are few places, it is not strange to operate in the dark, but with a ninety percent enrollment rate, those who fail the exam are either unlucky or wasteful.

This group of candidates thought so, but they didn't expect that these rumors were deliberately aimed at Zhang Yuan.

At this moment, most of the candidates who felt that Zhang Yuan had a problem were represented by a few people, who made them dare not speak up.

"Since this is the case, then I don't care, and if anyone says these words in the future, they will all be expelled from Taixue.

If you have a grudge in your heart, it is better to send it out today, and tomorrow, I will not get used to you! ”

Zhang Yuan's words were ruthless, although there were many cases of talking to each other, no one dared to shout out words that were unfavorable to Zhang Yuan.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuan was disappointed.

The courage of this year's candidates is too bad, this is still the first session, and in the future, they are all timid people who enter Taixue, which is really boring.

As a principal, I'm tired of having thorns in the school, but if I really don't have a thorn, it's quite boring.

"Why are you silent? I've heard that almost every candidate has mentioned my name more than once in the past two days.

Since you don't think there is anything wrong with me Zhang Yuan, then Zhu Dan's death is his personal reason, of course, I will ask the county magistrate of Duxian to check if there are any other tricks in it.

Yesterday morning, when Zhu Dan committed suicide, everyone around him was probably the murderer.

I want to check whether it was I, Zhang Yuan, who forced Zhu Dan to death, or whether someone else forced Zhu Dan to death.

When I find out, even if the law of the Han Dynasty does not punish these people, I will order that the entire official school and Taixue of the Han Dynasty shall not be allowed to enter these people.

If these people want to become officials through other means, they must also find a hard enough backstage, otherwise they will blame me Zhang Yuan for giving you a loop.

Of course, if Du County Commander Mei Gao finds out that it was Zhu Dan who was forced to death by Zhang Yuan, then I, Zhang Yuan, will no longer be an official in this life. ”

Zhang Yuan was so tough that he wanted to force everyone to be angry, but the effect really didn't look good.

Those who ridiculed Zhu Dan didn't realize that they forced Zhu Dan to death, how could they worry about what Zhang Yuan said, Zhang Yuan really didn't figure out why Zhu Dan committed suicide, whether it was because he was off the list or because there were external reasons.

But Zhang Yuan didn't care, he just wanted to be tough.

The instigators behind those rumor-mongering candidates must be in Taixue, and now at this level of traffic, there are rumors less than half an hour after Zhu Dan died.

It takes an hour to go back and forth from Chang'an City to Du County, if someone from other places instructs it, then the people under him who deliver the news have wings and can fly?

As for the purpose, the candidates had already said it when the rumors were spread.

forced Zhang Yuan to resign from the position of Taixue Ling, or let Liu Che know and then suspect Zhang Yuan, and then deprive Zhang Yuan of the position of Tai Xueling.

Their plan was actually very successful, and it might have been successful if it had been replaced by someone else.

If it weren't for Wei Qing's top in Chang'an, with Liu Che's resolute personality, Zhang Yuan would be an ordinary person now, maybe he would face prison, and if he really went to the prison, the white would have become black.

Originally, Zhang Yuan could have waited patiently, and the people behind the scenes would definitely have introduced a person to be the Taixue Ling, and this person was either himself or his cronies.

Wait a while, you can find out the behind-the-scenes commander Shunteng, but Zhang Yuan can't afford to wait.

After thinking about it, you must not put your chips on your trust, if someone really thinks that they can gain Liu Che's 100% trust, they are either brainless or naïve.

"Taixue Ling, the news that Du County Commander Mei Gao just came out, it is said that when Zhu Dan was killed, the surrounding county soldiers were maintaining order, and it seemed that many candidates around were pointing at Zhu Dan at that time.

Do you see if it was because of this, Zhu Dan's pressure was too great, and the sense of loss of falling off the list suddenly made him dizzy and hit the city wall. ”

King Wuqiu Shou had just received the news from a small official, and immediately whispered in Zhang Yuan's ear.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth, it was really cold that someone sent clothes, and when sleepy, someone sent pillows.

"I haven't notified the county commander before I can find out something interesting.

The candidates from the same inn as Zhu Dan and the candidates from Shangdang County will come out by themselves now, and I will ask the palace guards to send you to the county government for review. ”

There must be a reason for the matter, someone pointed fingers at Zhu Dan because he was off the list, in fact, it is easy to check, just find those acquaintances of Zhu Dan.

Zhang Yuan only said this on a temporary basis, but he didn't expect it to be crooked.

Those candidates who were in the same inn as Zhu Dan were almost the main ones, and most of the rest began to ridicule because Zhu Dan belittled Taixue and the selected candidates.

"What? Why is Zhu Dan's death related to me?

Even if you are too academic, you can't abuse your power and spew blood! ”

At that moment, this wave of candidates exploded.

In this era, being tried is equivalent to guilt, this is the perception of everyone.

"That's right, isn't it possible that we are guilty of living with Zhu Dan or being fellow villagers?"

"The Han Dynasty has been established for decades, how can the crime of the previous dynasty still be used now?

Besides, this is even stricter than Qin Lu, and we are not Zhu Dan's neighbors or his relatives! ”

Although there are only more than 100 candidates in this wave together, more than 100 people have been shouting and shouting, and the effect is quite good.

That's right, that's what Zhang Yuan thought in his heart.

After all, the lead was lit.

Originally, there were some rumor-mongers among the candidates who didn't dare to show their heads before, but now someone is acting as a pioneer, and they reacted immediately, this is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

And so the men began to shout and scream.

"I think it's because Taixue Ling doesn't want to bear the blame, and now he wants to cause trouble.

We are students, where does the power come from to compete with the Taixue Order?

Those of you who are Zhu Dan's fellow villagers and people who live with you, just accept your fate, go to the county government at most and go to prison for a few years at most, and now you are resisting here, you may not even be able to get out of the gate of Taixue! ”

"Accept your fate, your arms can't twist your thighs, not to mention that you're not arms, you don't even have a little thumb."

"Hehe, we're not as good as Little Thumb, let alone them."

"Ordinary people just accept their fate, just honestly treat these big officials as cattle and horses, don't think about going straight to the clouds, you don't have a chance."

Zhang Yuan saw that there were more people showing their heads, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"Yan Yi remembered the more than ten outcrops in front of me, except for those Zhu Dan's fellow villagers and roommates, the rest of them have been clearly remembered for me."

Yan Yi didn't know what Zhang Yuan meant by letting him remember these people, anyway, he felt that the fate of these people would definitely not be too good, but the people who were clamoring for public opinion were still quite annoying, and Yan Yi didn't treat these people as his own kind, as long as Zhang Yuan didn't kill them all with one shot.

"Yes, Teacher."

......

Zhang Yuan just stood on it all the time, didn't speak, and didn't let those Zhu Dan's fellow housemates come out of the ranks.

Slowly, a quarter of an hour passed, and the boiling candidates felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Yuan was tough to that extent just now, why is it that so many people are scolding Huai now, and he is silent?

When a person shuts up and doesn't speak, the people around him also feel that something is wrong, and they can hear the quiet drop of a needle under just a cup of tea.

Zhang Yuanjian's effect was almost the same, and he said with a smile.

"I've heard everyone's opinions about me just now.

said that I tampered with the scores and embezzled the quota, which forced Zhu Dan, the only person in the know, to death, right? ”

Yes, it was just like that after a while, the rumor spread that Zhu Dan was the only one in the know.

Even how he knew had a picture.

said that after he finished the assessment, one of his fellow villagers was a formal student of Taixue, that is, the senior of the previous session, and leading Zhu Dan to visit Taixue was actually a blind wanderer.

I don't know how to transfer it to the place where the exam papers are stored, and even the results of the assessment are stored here.

Zhu Dan was curious for a while, so he slipped into this hall under the pretext that he wanted to go to the toilet, and then found the report card.

Many of the results on the transcript have traces of alteration, and these traces are the traces of scraping with a book knife.

Who is the person with the book knife?

Knife and pencil!

Does the pen-and-knife officer have a good reputation?

Naturally not good.

There is only one impression that the common people have of the sword and pen officials.

These officials, who have mastered knives and pens, can write as much as they want when it comes to judicial matters, and if they are not satisfied with what they have written, they can just scrape off what they have written before with a book knife.

They want a person to live, and they can find a thousand reasons to exonerate that person.

If they wanted to kill a person, they could find 10,000 cases to refer to.

The results of many people in the transcript were modified by the so-called knife and pen officials, and the original Zhu Dan's grades were also modified, and then Zhu Dan's grades were also modified.

Zhu Dan didn't care about it at the time, because the revised score was about three thousand five.

He thought this was a normal operation, and when the day the list was released, he fell off the list, so he combined the previous things.

He felt that his grades had been revised and his place had been replaced.

As for why the hall where the exam papers and transcripts are stored is unguarded, and why the transcripts are not the commonly used paper, they are all subconsciously ignored.

When King Wuqiu Shou heard it, he felt that there were many loopholes, and he felt that the brains of these candidates were a little big, and they spread rumors in front of Zhang Yuan.

Many Taixue officials and lecturers standing behind Zhang Yuan also felt that there were too many loopholes, and there were even officials and lecturers who were in charge of the examination papers.

If Zhu Dan really touched that hall, their sin would be the least sin and the crime of negligence.

In fact, the biggest loophole is that there are two copies of the report card, one is in Wuqiu Shouwang, one is in Liu Che, Zhang Yuan doesn't have it, what about changing Nima?

"We're just guessing, as for whether the truth of the matter is like this, Taixue makes it clear to you in your own heart!"

The first to come out was a candidate in Zhu Dan's inn, that is, one of the main forces who ridiculed Zhu Dan, and the rumor-mongers knew that it was best to use these people now, so when they were in chaos just now, they had already touched the side of the candidates who had a relationship with Zhu Dan.

I've been quietly giving ideas to these people.

"Okay, this candidate can have the courage to say what is in his heart, I admire you.

Since everyone thinks that this assessment is shady, they all think that I, Zhang Yuan, am trying to curry favor with some people and win over some people, so I took out the admission quota of Taixue in exchange for benefits.

I can tell you right now, I have no way to prove that I didn't do it, and there is no evidence that I did! ”

"Is this a disguised confession?"

"Oh my God, it's really shady!"

"Today, it is estimated that this big man's doctor will be finished, how can Your Majesty tolerate this kind of person in charge of Taixue."

Not only did the candidates below explode, but the officials of Taixue also discussed, they didn't think that Zhang Yuan had done something wrong, in fact, the officials of Taixue knew better than anyone that Zhang Yuan had never expressed his opinion from beginning to end of the entrance assessment, and even Zhang Yuan was not in Taixue during the day in the days after the assessment.

At that time, Zhang Yuan was busy assessing the restaurants and inns in Du County.

"Everyone be quiet, I, Zhang Yuan, will definitely give you an explanation today, and I will definitely make you feel fair, just and open!"

"Okay, let's listen to what Taixue Ling has to say."

The rumormongers already feel that the victory is in hand.

What's the matter, why aren't you tough now, you really think you're a big official.

Most of the rumor-mongers have already begun to rejoice, and they have humiliated Zhang Yuan fiercely in their hearts.

"If you are too learned, you must not speak falsely, and you must be cautious.

If what you just said were known to His Majesty, His Majesty would be furious, even though we all know that this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

King Wuqiu Shou whispered in Zhang Yuan's ear again, and Zhang Yuan nodded and did not respond to him.

However, at this time, King Wuqiu Shou was able to remind himself that Zhang Yuan was still a little moved in his heart, he had just yelled at him a few words yesterday, and today was a good opportunity to fall into the ground, but King Wuqiu Shou did not do it.
