The next day, the news of Wu Zhi's injury in the attack made the front page of major newspapers in Bianjing, but because the Kaifeng government did not say that Wu Zhi's attack was related to the case, the focus of public opinion only revolved around the attack on the official itself, not the case.

There was no need for Wu Zhi to deliberately greet the Bianjing Daily, everyone naturally focused on the personal safety of officials, and everyone was discussing when the officials of the Great Song Dynasty became a high-risk profession

First of all, the former forbidden army palace marshal Gao Yu and Gao Taiwei's family were slaughtered by thieves, and the family of Sun Xin, the new servant of the Criminal Department, was destroyed by fire, and it will be the turn of the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, to be surrounded and assassinated in broad daylight

Is there still a royal law, and is there still a law?

Therefore, as soon as the news came out in the newspaper, people from all walks of life in the Great Song Dynasty talked about it, and even the officials of the imperial court were very insecure.

In a teaching hall of Bianjing Tai College, there are no math students gathered, and the middle of the students is wearing a white Confucian shirt and black Confucian hat, but the student with mature facial features is undoubtedly the focus of the audience, and he is impassionedly saying something to the students.

"It's really happy, the six thieves have been reined in a lot recently, but this seventh thief Wuzhi is extremely rampant, there are Xixia people in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and he actually suggested that His Majesty only make a holy decree to insult the Xixia people, such a small trick can be used for military affairs, the Xixia people are the most violent, this scolding will inevitably cause war for my Great Song Dynasty, and countless soldiers will die on the battlefield, and the people will suffer."

The person who exposed Wuzhi's crimes was none other than Chen Dong, the most famous "public knowledge" in the Great Song Dynasty and the first to define the six thieves of the Great Song Dynasty.

Chen Dong paused, looked around at the students who were also indignant, and continued: "Fortunately, the way of heaven is evil, and the martial arts have brought disaster to the country and the people, and finally suffered retribution at this moment, but it is a pity that those assassins did not get rid of this person, if they get rid of this person, my Great Song Dynasty will have one less moth."

Chen Dong is jealous and hateful, and he hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials to the core, not to mention Wu Zhi, who is defined by him as a "thief", precisely because he has this kind of character and is quite bold, he dares to criticize the maladministration of the imperial court, and dares to publicly denounce the "Seven Thieves" led by Cai Jing, which also makes him an idol-level existence among the students of the Great Song Dynasty.

Countless hot-blooded young people flocked to him.

"Chen Dong, don't talk nonsense, my master, he caused the thieves to assassinate him in order to investigate the case of the Sun family's extermination."

Suddenly, a loud and excited voice sounded around the corner of the teaching house, and everyone followed the sound to see that it was Xie Qing, the youngest student of Tai Academy.

I saw Xiao Xie Qing's face flushed, and he pointed at Chen Dong and retorted firmly: "My master is not a bad person, you are slandering him"

When the students heard that he was defending the traitor, they all looked at him with disdain. And Xiao Xie Qing was alone, facing the white eyes of everyone, just blushing and biting his lip, but he still looked directly at Chen Dong in the middle without fear.

Chen Dong sneered and asked rhetorically: "He is not a traitor, I slander him, let me ask you, is that holy decree to the Xixia people, is it that he instigated His Majesty to issue it, what did he rely on to get his current official position, after he came to Bianjing, did he play those strange tricks with the official's house all day long, and the project of the Keju field in the suburbs of Bianjing City, which worked hard and hurt the people, and the project of the Juju field, was it not proposed by him, these are not the traitors, I slandered him?"

A series of sonorous and powerful rhetorical questions, all of which had a factual basis, and Xiao Xie Qing's face was pale and he couldn't say a word.

Chen Dong ignored Xiao Xie Qing, looked around and said: "Besides, after Wu Zhi took over the Sun family's extermination case, a few days have passed now, but there is still no progress in the case, everyone must have heard of it, that Wu Zhi has been sitting idle in the government since he became the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, and he went to the scene of the Sun family's crime that day to investigate, so he was afraid to avoid it, just like that, and expect him to find out what truth I think Lord Sun's family will never be able to show Xue That Wu Zhi just wants to get the power of Kaifeng Mansion, and yesterday's assassination is not because of the circumstances of the case in my opinion. It's that there are heroes in the rivers and lakes who can't get used to seeing this country and harming the people, and eliminating harm for the people."

"You talk nonsense"

Xiao Xie Qing could only roar loudly to refute, but no matter how loud his voice was, he looked pale and weak.

"Xie Qing, I advise you not to defend Wu Zhi, you just worship him as a teacher to learn to paint, if you draw a line with him, we will still treat you as a classmate, and we will never discriminate against you because of this." A student said to Xiao Xie Qingdao.

"Yes, Xie Qing, we still know very well what you are, but I advise you to leave the martial arts family as soon as possible, although Wu Zhi is a first-class painter, but people are really clumsy enough, you must not be bad." Another person said lukewarmly.

Xiao Xie Qing's face was full of grievances, and he was still trying his best to defend Wu Zhi.

"My master is not like that, no, no"

The tone is very low and unwilling, as if he is lying to himself.

"Fellow students, all my colleagues calculate the time, Your Majesty's holy decree has also been transmitted to the Western Xia side, when the time comes, the two countries will definitely fight each other, the northwest border will definitely be ruined, we must not let go of the culprit Wu Zhi, you are willing to go with me to the gate of the Kaifeng Mansion to denounce the thief Wu Zhi"

"Willing, willing"

"Bound to kill the thief"

Chen Dong raised his arms and exhaled, and the students around him all responded enthusiastically.

"Okay, then we will recuperate and wait for the news, and when the time comes, we will vow to seek justice for the soldiers and people in the northwest, and force the court to get rid of the thieves."

"Get rid of the thieves"

"Get rid of the thieves"

"Oh no, no, no"

Just when Chen Dong and the other students were about to shout the slogan, a thin student suddenly broke into the teaching hall and shouted with horror on his face.

"What do you look like in a panic, is there a little bit of sit" Chen Dong showed his demeanor as a leading big brother, and after stabilizing the student, he asked: "What's wrong and say it slowly." ”

The thin student took a rough breath, looked at Chen Dong nervously, and said, "Actually, it's not bad news, but good news."

Halfway through his sentence, he stopped again.

"How can there be bad news and good news, say it quickly"

Chen Dong urged impatiently.

"The latest news from the Western Xia side has reached Bianjing It is said that it is said that after the Western Xia people received the holy decree of my Great Song official family, they immediately withdrew from the northwest border and took a begging letter, saying that they would never offend my Great Song border again."

After the thin student finished speaking intermittently, the expressions of Chen Dong and the other students gradually changed from anger to surprise, and finally froze to the point of incredible, and they were stunned together.

Only in the corner, a low-headed student's eyes lit up.

"What Western Xia people actually really withdrew, is this news exact, is it just because they received a holy decree from the imperial court, or is it because Tong Guan sent troops in the northwest to threaten," Chen Dong said in disbelief.

"The news is true, it has spread, and the begging envoys of the Tangut people have also entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Bianjing Daily is also printing newspapers, and it will soon be announced to the world," the thin student said excitedly, "It is because of the holy decree of the official family that Tong Taiwei did not transfer troops to threaten the Tangut people." ”

Hearing this, Chen Dong opened his mouth dryly, he didn't know what to say anymore.

"Stopping the war with a word, Lord Wu is the reincarnation of a sage"

Most of the people who refused to be present were deliberately suppressing themselves from thinking about Wu Zhi, but some people couldn't help but sigh, and the evaluation was so high.

It is no wonder that the ultimate pursuit of Chinese scholars in the past dynasties to participate in national affairs is to be able to conquer people with force, convince people with virtue, and finally convince all nations with benevolence and righteousness. However, the ultimate pursuit is illusory after all, and even the reincarnation of the sage Confucius could not do it, so if anyone can complete even an event similar to this pursuit with great ability, they will be highly sought after.

The so-called highest state of using soldiers is a soldier who surrenders without a fight

And today, Wu Zhi's deeds of retreating hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Western Xia are completely the most ideal and perfect presentation of people's governance of the country and the world

Just imagine, in the prosperous land of China in the Ming Dynasty, in the face of the barbarian army of Ru Mao drinking blood like tigers and wolves, people take the pen and rise, only a few words and scolding it, you can make millions of heroes retreat like lost dogs, how heroic and beautiful this is

Now that Wu Zhi has done it, it is no wonder that his image has instantly reversed a hundred and eighty degrees in the heart of the scholar.

"Are we wrong to blame Lord Wu?"

"But it turns out that Lord Wu's suggestion this time is completely correct, if it weren't for Lord Wu's words, how would our Great Song Dynasty let the Western Xia withdraw its troops, whether it would be to lose a lot of coins or transfer troops to fight against each other, or other methods."

"There's no more perfect way than Lord Wu's proposal, I'm really wrong, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

After a calm analysis, some wavering students also completely surrendered to Wu Zhi's side, and even Chen Dong, who was impassioned just now, stood in the center in a daze, his face was blue and white.

"It seems that we have really wronged Lord Wu, ashamed and ashamed, Lord Wu's foresight has always been beyond my reach, and I will definitely come to the door to ask for guilt another day."

Chen Dong is a man, and in the face of the fact that Rushan is like a mountain, he admitted his mistake very sincerely, and apologized to Xiao Xie Qing around the corner.

"Brother Xie, I misunderstood, please bear with me."

Calling each other "brother" has nothing to do with age, it is equivalent to "sir" in later generations, but Xiao Xie Qing is still underage, and being called like this by Chen Dong is already very face-saving, just like a certain scholar in later generations called primary school students Mr. XX very seriously.

"I'll just say that you slandered my master"

Xiao Xie Qing has just accepted too many grievances, and he will finally be able to raise his eyebrows.

"Although I misunderstood Lord Wu about the matter of Western Xia, I did not slander Lord Wu for the rest."

Chen Dong is a clear gentleman, he will admit his mistakes and apologize for the affairs of Western Xia, but he will not blindly follow the trend, he still remembers Wu Zhi's other bad deeds.
