Chapter Ninety-Four: The Battle for the Chickens (14)
So, because of Kong Heren, and in the next scene, it immediately changed, and Mrs. Kong came up with a question for several people to argue, and the topic was very simple: the standard of reading people for things.
This kind of topic is far from what you usually learn in the entrance examination, and the literal meaning is very simple, but if you really think about it carefully, it is a judgment of character, and this is a big topic.
Several men fell into thinking for a while, and Mrs. Kong swept around, "Reading can make people reasonable, and learning to use is the real reason, so first understand the reason and then read, or read the book first in the reason, you also talk about your own opinions." ”
This is a difficult refutation to debate, and Mrs. Kong naturally understands that the reason why he came up with this question is nothing more than to let the eldest son calm down, otherwise if he continues, he is afraid that everyone will be crooked.
The men were quiet here, but there was a lot of noise in front, and there were often lawsuits here in the county office, and everyone didn't think much about it, until it became more and more noisy outside, and Dong Guan's roar could be heard in the distance, and everyone's attention was attracted to it.
It's a pity that there are only errands who rush by from time to time, and no one stops.
Then I saw Dong Guan being helped into the backyard by Jiang Cheng, Dong Guan covered his forehead with his hand, and he could see blood gushing out from above, "This group of Diao people, no wonder they walked so easily last night, it turned out that they were waiting for the master here." ”
"Boss, if you can't do it, let's pay some money." Jiang Cheng persuaded softly.
"Not a single one." Dong Guan scolded and scolded, and noticed that the prisoners were all looking at him, he stopped, pointed at everyone and scolded, "Everyone pays ten taels of silver, you ate chicken yesterday, and people are coming to the door today, if you don't give the silver, you will go out." ”
A person is ten taels of silver, and a chicken is only a few dozen copper coins, which is simply an opportunity to blackmail them.
If they could have been able to get it out in normal times, but now they are prisoners, and some of them only have tattered clothes on their bodies, and where can they have silver.
As soon as Dong Guan's voice fell, some prisoners opened their mouths to complain.
"Master, where are we going to get the silver?"
"If you don't have it, borrow it." Dong Guan's gaze swept over the two of Kong Mo, his face was bloody, and he laughed with a bit of hideousness.
After he finished speaking, he dropped his words and left, but his hinted action, everyone understood, and for a while, everyone's eyes fell on the Kong and Mo families.
Someone was bold and begged directly in front of Mrs. Kong, "Mrs. Kong, please save us." ”
The one who spoke was an old man, his face was full of weather-beaten wrinkles, after the old man finished speaking, another young man knelt down directly, "Old lady, my father is a doctor, but unfortunately he was framed, there are scoundrels who did not make money and poisoned and framed my father, although the person was rescued, but he has been bitten to death It is a problem with the medicine prescribed by my father, I hate my father for being old and exiled to the land of Saibei, he is a good man, he should not suffer from this, please ask the old lady Kong to beg my father, I will be a cow and a horse in the future to repay the old lady's silver." ”
After the young man finished speaking, he kept kneeling and kowtowing.
The old man with a withered face wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "I'm old, I won't live long, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there, save the old lady and save my son, he is still young, it's not good for me to be a father, and I drag him down." ”
"Old lady, Dr. Ruan is a good person, you can help him." Someone couldn't stand it and spoke out.
The other prisoners leaned over crampedly, and although they didn't speak, they all knelt down silently for Mrs. Kong.
Dr. Ruan also knelt down, his corners of his eyes soaked with tears, "Old lady Kong, I know we shouldn't be like this, but my son and I really can't bear it.... I'm really poor in donkey skills. Mrs. Kong is a good person, he encountered danger along the way, and he did not let us face danger because we were prisoners, he stood up in front of us, and he should be content, and I taught me this way in the past, but now..."
There were more than a dozen people kneeling in front of him, everyone was silently wiping their tears, Mrs. Kong was also full of mixed feelings, Dong Guan was a person who did what he said, and his ruthless Old Lady Kong also saw it in his eyes, with mixed feelings, but he couldn't do anything.
The silver was brought back by his granddaughter, and he couldn't take care of his family as a grandfather, and he couldn't snatch things from his granddaughter.
But with so many lives, he couldn't bear to watch it.
Kong Heren has never experienced this, in other words, he was the first to jump out and refute it with a cautious eye, but today he couldn't open his mouth, and his sad and sad faces nailed him like nails.
In silence, Kong Yan walked over and handed a silver ticket to Mrs. Kong, "Grandfather, this is a hundred taels." ”
Old lady Kong looked at her granddaughter's Confucian gaze, and had mixed feelings for a while, Kong Yan smiled and stuffed the silver ticket over, "Pepsi filial piety comes first, and if we don't make any other conclusions, that is, their father and son are willing to give up their dignity for each other, so they deserve respect." ”
As for those who helped to speak and knelt down, it was just taking advantage of the situation, but Kong Yan didn't pay attention to it.
The father and son of the Ruan family taught her that she didn't care even more, she felt sorry for her grandfather, and she had paid for her family for Da Zhou all her life, and she was forced to retreat because of money, and she didn't want to see these things extinguish her grandfather's ambition.
How could Old Lady Kong not know the true intentions of his granddaughter, the heavenly general will be entrusted to the people, and he must first suffer his mind, how can he forget this sentence? How can you be angry and angry at God's injustice? Grief and indignation at the injustice of the world?
"Good boy." Old lady Kong took it, turned around and handed it to Kong Yun beside him, "Brother Yun, send it to the errand boss." ”
Kong Yun took the silver ticket with a gloomy face, and turned away silently, his grandfather was kind-hearted, but in his opinion, it was a fame and reputation, and these prisoners did not deserve sympathy at all.
Liu Duyan followed and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother Yun, don't worry, if you can snatch the money, I will have a way to steal it back, but the left hand will pass the right hand, and it will return to us in the end." ”
Here Mrs. Kong looked at everyone, "In the eyes of the world, I am a great Confucian, but in my opinion, I am just a mortal, no different from you, take this matter as an example, this silver is not my Kong's, it is my granddaughter's, she is only in time this year, like all of you, she can't bear to see her grandfather being persecuted, so she stood up to defend the reputation of her grandfather Confucian, and now it seems that these reputations are just a drag." People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, but they cannot become the sharp blade of others' persecution. ”
Old lady Kong saw through everyone's sinister intentions, and finally helped everyone, so open-minded people were ashamed of themselves, silently bowed their heads, but in their hearts they were really in awe of Kong Daru.
In a short silence, the father and son of the Ruan family silently kowtowed to Mrs. Kong three times, and then helped each other to stand up, and walked to the corner in shame, not getting together with everyone again.
Today, even if there are many people to help speak, who dares to say that they are not selfish? But if everyone hadn't knelt down together, today's silver Confucius family would not have come out.
