The second was a young scholar in his twenties, who stood up first and bowed to Shen Chen and said, "In Xiashanyang, Li Kai is trained with the eldest son of the teacher. ”

He is not a native of Jingzhou, but a student of the famous scholar Kui Xi, which obviously also represents Kui Xi's attitude.

Shen Chen arched his hand and said, "Courteous, please take a seat." ”

The two sat down, and Li Kai said: "I followed the teacher to learn the "Book of Filial Piety", the first king had the most virtuous way, in order to obey the world, civil harmony, and no complaints, all because of filial piety. Sikong avenges his father, is the most filial person in the world, and now serves the Son of Heaven, supports the Han family, and is loyal and filial, why does Xiaolang want to disobey Sikong? ”

Shen Chen said with a smile: "Since it is the rule of the Book of Filial Piety, you should know that those who love their relatives dare not be evil to others; Those who respect their relatives dare not be slow to others. Love and respect are all in the matter, and morality is imposed on the people, and punishment is in the four seas", if Cao Cao really abides by filial piety, why slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou? Do they have no parents and no children? ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Kai was speechless for a while.

Shen Chen suddenly patted his head and said: "Oh, I remember, Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou cleanly, so naturally there are no children to honor their parents, which is good." Zi said: Those who love relatives dare not be evil to others, dare not be slow to others, as long as they kill others, they don't need to be evil to others, slow to others, and use other people's lives to fulfill their own pseudo-filial piety, Cao Cao is very filial. ”

"Ugh."

Li Kai sighed, arched his hand, and left the table.

The third person made up, and this person came up and said: "Cao Cao is in charge of the six canons of the state with the position of Sikong, and he governs the state with the king of Zuo, and the conquest of Zhang Xiu is the code of punishment of the army, which is in line with the law of etiquette, how can it not be done?" ”

This man rules the Book of Rites.

Shen Chen nodded and said, "Is it also etiquette for an adulterous aunt?" ”

The man looked embarrassed and had to leave.

The fourth person ruled "Zuo Chuan", saying: "Gong Zhuang and Yi Shugu drank and went out privately. Begging for meat. Take the rod and strike it. How can the stumbler beg for meat? ”

The implication is that you, a lowly person, how can you offend the superior?

Shen Chen sneered: "Do you cure "Zuo Chuan" but not "The Book of Rites"? At night, the concubine holds the candle on the steps, the palace holds the candle on the west steps, the Dianren holds the candle in the court, and the one who holds the candle is outside the door. Bin drunk, the north to sit and take its recommendation to fall. Yi Jie Gu is rude herself, how can she say that she is offended? What's more, even Confucius didn't talk about things with humility, but he looked down on the people, could it be that your ancestors are all princes of all ages? ”

"This ......"

The fourth man was dumbfounded.

It is true that there are fewer people who govern "Zuo Chuan" and other classics, because "Zuo Chuan" itself has nearly 200,000 words, and then from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are countless people who study "Zuo Chuan", and there are also many books left by famous scholars and Confucians.

A single copy of the "Zuo Chuan" and the chapters left by each of its derivatives may be millions of words, and it was possible to study it for a lifetime at that time, so it is normal not to treat other books.

Shen Chen flicked his sleeves and said: "Master" does not admire the outside with poverty and lowness, and does not move with wealth and wealth", you don't even know the whole thing, and you are ashamed of being lowly and love vanity, you are really vulgar and stupid! ”

The man's face froze, and he hid his face and walked away.

Soon the fifth person came up and said: "Confucius ditches and closes the tombs, you can get rid of the master's disobedience", although Sikong is a little brutal, but it is also a last resort for the country to be in danger. Moreover, when the benevolent and righteous people are also suspicious, the gentleman should be flexible in order to respect the monarch and humble the ministers, and the politics are great. ”

Shen Chen's face turned dark, and he waved his hand: "Fork out!" ”

Immediately, soldiers rushed over to drag the fifth man away.

The man shouted, "Why is it rude? ”

Shen Chen said: "The tomb of the master ditch is to stabilize the arrogant Ji Pingzi and not let the Lu State perish, so that in the future, Dinggong can regain the throne. What was Cao Cao slaughtering Xuzhou for? Is it to offer human breast to the Son of Heaven? Comparing the virtuous master and Yan Hui with the unvirtuous Cao Cao, such a clever man wants to trap the master and Yan Hui for injustice. ”

The man's face was like ashes, and he was dragged out, and the rest of the students did not dare to say anything because of the majesty of the soldiers.

Immediately after the sixth, seventh, and eighth people one by one, these people talked about it from a more general angle, saying that Shen Chen's resistance to Cao was not loyal to the monarch and patriotic, that he should not be involved in the affairs of the imperial court, and that he should not avenge his relatives.

Shen Chen refuted them one by one, and what he said was reasonable and convincing.

Basically, there is no one who can fight.

Because Shen Chen's argument is also very reasonable, the point he grabbed was to cut Cao Cao and Liu Xie apart, and he couldn't let those Confucian scholars bind Cao Cao and Liu Xie together.

Otherwise, they will claim that whatever Cao Cao does, there is the support of the Son of Heaven behind it.

As long as you grasp this point, then it is easy to say anything.

You say that resisting Cao Cao is not loyal to the monarch and patriotic, that means that Cao Cao is equal to the country, where is the Son of Heaven placed?

You say that he is in the name of the Son of Heaven.

Good.

What about the edict?

What about the fake festival without an edict?

No, then he is a private soldier.

Why can't I fight the princes when they send troops privately?

Just because he is called Cao Cao?

As for saying that he shouldn't take revenge, it's even more ridiculous.

Although at the end of the Han Dynasty, with the decline of Confucianism, the idea of great revenge has gradually declined.

But he still has a market.

What's more, Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou was in the name of avenging his father.

He Cao Cao can take revenge.

I can't?

Why?

The double standard is not such a double standard.

Therefore, under the firepower output of Shen Chen's serial cannons, many Confucian students were almost sprayed to the north.

One by one, they lost more than a dozen battles in a long time.

The reason for this is that the people who came were just a group of young scholars.

If they were replaced by their teachers, their combat effectiveness would definitely be different, and they might create some pressure on Shen Chen.

But a bunch of young Confucian students who didn't learn their skills well, just tried their skills.

Although Shen Chen has not studied the Confucian scriptures for a long time, only six or seven years, he is much stronger than them in dialectical logical thinking, and he can easily defeat these people.

By the time they had lost nearly half of the time, the people who came had no longer dared to step forward, and stood around one by one, cowering.

There was silence in the courtyard, and the faces of the people were different.

The scholars who came to find fault were not angry one by one, but they were refuted, that is, they were not good at studying, and no one was to blame.

The villagers didn't really understand what they were talking about, but when they saw Shen Chen spraying the other party one by one with ten enemies and leaving one by one, they knew that it was him who won a big victory, so they also watched it with relish.

And some of the scholars who watched the play were glad that they were not here to find fault, otherwise they would be scolded by a twelve-year-old child in front of the public, and they would lose face.

Pang Tong and Xu Shu were full of interest in their eyes, Shen Chen's debate was extremely brilliant, even if they were replaced, they might not be so impatient, so they sincerely admired his talent in their hearts.

After a long while, Shen Chen saw that there was still no one sitting in front of him, so he laughed and said, "What, you have this ability?" ”

Hu Shang and Wen Xia never appeared, and the two glanced at each other, both silently shaking their heads.

After checking the eyes, the man couldn't handle it.

But there are also reckless men who stand up and scold: "What are you a yellow-mouthed kid rampant? Which one here is not older than you, and which one is not older than you? Open your mouth and don't look at it, close your mouth and be stupid, you are just a mere child, how dare you rap here? ”

Here we go, we begin.

Shen Chen's spirit was shocked, and finally someone began to carry out personal attacks.

He immediately jumped up like a spring and roared at the man: "Zi said: "The young are not grandchildren, the long is not described, the old and not dead is a thief, the old is not virtuous, why don't you die?" ”

"If you learn with your character, how can you educate students?"

The man didn't dare to show weakness, and immediately replied.

Shen Chen said calmly: "How can I not? There is no before and after learning, the master is the teacher, Xiang Lu is the Confucius teacher at the age of seven, not to mention my talent and learning, everyone knows, who can beat me? ”

"Are you virtuous?"

The man asked rhetorically.

Shen Chen sneered: "Whether I have virtue or not is not something you can evaluate. ”

The man laughed and said, "Can the villagers talk about it?" ”

"Nature."

Shen Chen said: "The surrounding villagers can judge my virtue. ”

The man said, "I heard that you stole pigs and valleys in Xiangting a few days ago, and the carriage also cut people's pants while fleeing, but is there such a thing?" ”

"There is no such thing."

Shen Chen flatly denied it.

The man suddenly laughed: "Where is Xiao Da?" ”

Someone in the crowd cowered and came out, and when they saw Shen Chen looking, their eyes dodged.

This person was the lazy man I met at the Hanyang Township Pavilion a few days ago.

Shen Chen looked at it and frowned slightly.

I didn't expect this person to come and frame him.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Hu Shang immediately came to the man's side and asked, "Brother Zhao Lang, what's going on." ”

That person is the Anzhong Zhao family, called Zhao Ran, and the family is located in the north of Hanyangju.

He whispered to Hu Shang: "I passed by Shuishui, met this person, and learned some things, today there is this Shen Chen good-looking." ”

Hu Shang happily patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then please Brother Zhao Lang." ”

"Don't worry."

Zhao Ran replied in a low voice, then walked in front of Shen Chen, and said to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone, this person steals pigs and grains, there are all witnesses, such a virtuous person, do you want to hand over your heirs to him?" ”

"No, is it true?"

"This ......"

"Could it be Shen Xiaolang...... I don't believe he's such a person. ”

"But there are witnesses."

There was an uproar around, and I never expected such a scene.

Although the thing of private morality is very mysterious, and Cao Cao's private morality is very poor, but people are the power of the world.

In the matter of teaching and educating people, people naturally want people with good morals to serve as teachers.

If you are not virtuous, why should you be someone else's teacher?

So at this time, it was revealed that Shen Chen had really done these things, and I am afraid that his reputation would soon be stinky all over the countryside.

"He said nonsense, obviously we bought the pig, that day in Hanyang, there happened to be a family of pigs lost, and we bought a pig a little similar, Xiaolang was afraid that they would misunderstand, so he put the pig in that family's house first, saying that he would return the pig to Xiaolang when he found the pig later."

Before Shen Chen could speak, his guard Shen Qi was not happy, and immediately stood up and pointed at Naxiao Dao: "As for this guy, it's just a false accusation against Xiao Lang, Xiao Lang is kind-hearted, and he gave him 300 yuan to buy pants, how can such scoundrel words be believed?" ”

That Xiao Da was actually bribed by Zhao Ran to frame Shen Chen, and when he heard this, he was also anxious, and hurriedly said: "I am true in every sentence, it was Zhao Hua and Uncle Du who said that he stole pigs and grains, this is all something that everyone has seen, not to mention that if you didn't steal, why should you return the pig coins?" ”

It's as if it's not the old man you hit, why send the old man to the hospital is a logic.

Deng Pi said angrily: "You are really hateful, Xiaolang is obviously afraid that the villagers will lose the pig and the grain, and there is no support this year, so he is kind enough to give alms, and when it comes to your mouth, it will become a pig thief and steal the grain, there is no evidence at that time, you later made false accusations and ruined Xiaolang's name, what is your intention?" ”

Zhao Ran said lazily: "There was no certificate at that time, so why are you in a hurry to return the pig coin?" Maybe I'm afraid that the credentials will be found. ”

Play with me, huh?

Shen Chen was furious, but calmed down after a moment, and suddenly smiled: "So, you want to accuse me of stealing pigs and grain?" ”

"That's nature."

Zhao Ran crossed his waist and said: "Since it is a crime, how can there be a reason not to ask about the crime?" ”

Shen Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll go to see the sufferer with you, if there is evidence, I will go to prison by myself, if there is no evidence, you are slandering and fallacious, how about it?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Zhao Ran hesitated suddenly.

The crime of defamation in the Han Dynasty was still very heavy, and in the Western Han Dynasty, it was basically abandoned in the market, that is, beheaded or beheaded.

After arriving in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this crime was much lighter, basically what crime you falsely accused the other party of, and you found out the truth of what crime you are, so if you falsely accuse others of rebellion, then you are rebelling, falsely accusing others of stealing, you are stealing.

Zhao Ran's accusation of Shen Chen's crime is actually stealing, although it is not a big crime, but it is also to be imprisoned and serve forced labor, and this is only in name, being a prisoner has no human rights, and there is no place to reason when he dies.

Therefore, it also made him hesitate to continue for a while.

Seeing him hesitate, the companions around him said, "Afraid of what he is doing, isn't there someone to testify?" ”

"Yes, the certified physical evidence is there, so why be afraid?"

"Brother Zhao Lang, you won't be afraid, right?"

The crowd was encouraged.

Zhao Ran was a little difficult to ride a tiger, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, if there is a fake, I should admit the punishment, but I firmly believe that you are just a fallacy to confuse the people and confuse the villagers." ”

"You've all heard that."

Shen Chen looked around and said, "This person is going to accuse me of stealing pigs and valleys today, so let's go to Hanyang now to gather and ask the bitter master?" ”

"Okay, let's go."

Some people still don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, so they want to go with them.

But some villagers shook their heads and prepared to leave.

Hanyang is more than 20 miles away from here, and they can just look at the excitement nearby, and it is obviously not cost-effective to run more than 20 miles for a show.

But the scholars were out of the way.

He didn't win debating with Shen Chen before, and now he began to attack his character.

Zhao Ran felt that there were witnesses, and the victory was in hand, and the rest of the beings also thought so, and the scholars who watched the excitement would naturally follow, and hundreds of people went out to Hulala, and they were ready to gather in Hanyang.

When everyone went out and the courtyard was a little empty, Zhuge Liang came to Shen Chen's side and chuckled: "Brother, how is it, I told you." ”

Shen Chen nodded: "I really didn't expect them to do this, I gave the pigs and money to the villagers before, firstly, I was afraid that they would really misunderstand that we might have something to do with this matter, and secondly, I was also afraid that the villagers would lose their belongings and live a difficult life." I didn't expect to be used by these people as a means to attack me. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "How do you plan to solve this matter?" ”

Shen Chen thought for a while and said, "I guessed that the wheat grain should be made by a wild boar, as long as the wild boar is found, at least it can prove that I did not steal Mr. Du's grain, as for that Brother Zhao Lang, I'm afraid I won't be able to find his pig." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Zhuge Liang didn't have a feather fan in his hand, but he still gently covered his face with his long sleeves, and whispered in Shen Chen's ear: "You take care of yourself, you have an idea for your brother." ”

Shen Chen looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise and said, "Brother......"

"Go ahead."

Zhuge Liang put his hands behind his back and smiled mysteriously.

With his words, Shen Chen was suddenly full of confidence in his heart, and walked out of the door.

Deng Hong and Liu Xian walked over and asked, "Ah Chen, what the hell is going on." ”

Shen Chen shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, I was afraid that I would be tired of clearing my name and scatter some property, uncle rest assured, they can't help me." ”

"That's good."

Deng Hong nodded, he believed that his grandson had a way.

Everyone was already waiting for him outside at the moment, Shen Chen came to the door, twenty guards were guarding the side, and one carriage after another was brought over, ready to leave for Hanyang Ju.

The scholars on their side had horse-drawn carriages for travel, but the carriages were in Tingdong, so they were delayed for some time.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour, the road in Tingxi was already full of carriages, and the surrounding villagers saw that a large number of vehicles had suddenly gathered, and there were more people who came to see the excitement.

Shen Chen's convoy was at the front, and before he set off, he suddenly noticed that at the end of the road to the west, in the direction they came, there was a team coming in a mighty way.

Because the road was narrow, they didn't set off, and they were going to wait for the team at the end of the road to reach the pavilion, and then leave after both sides missed.

But when the team got closer and closer, and was about to arrive at the pavilion, Shen Chen suddenly noticed that the person at the front seemed to be quite familiar.

The team was not a convoy of horses, but a group of carts, the carts were dark and unclear, there were about twenty or thirty people, and the one at the front was a sturdy man, who seemed to be familiar.

Soon they approached, and the man noticed that the road was full of carriages, and Shen Chen stood there, and said with great joy: "Shen Xiaolang, I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Zhao Lang."

Shen Chen bowed his hand, and saw that there were actually wild boars on those carts, more than a dozen of them.

The person who came was Zhao Hua, and he said happily: "Xiaolang is right, my pigs were indeed taken away by the wild boars nearby, and it also brought those wild boars to eat the wheat grains in Uncle Du's house, and we cut open their stomachs, and they were full of wheat grains." ”

The old man Du who said that Shen Chen's horse ate his wheat grain stepped forward, took out his money bag and said guiltily: "Xiaolang, I was also confused at that time, I was afraid that if no one compensated, my family would starve to death, so I said that your horse ate my wheat grain." Not only did you generously give me coins, but you also sent people to help us catch this group of wild boars, which is really benevolent and kind, this is the coin you gave me at the beginning, and now it is returned to Xiaolang. ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people around him changed greatly, especially that Zhao Ran.

Shen Chen glanced at the soldiers who came to smash the field in the rear, and then asked: "These are all trivial matters, I also said at the time, if it finds the real culprit in the future, please ask Mr. to inform everyone that your wheat field is not damaged by my horse." Are you sure you've found the real culprit now? Brother Zhao Lang, did you find your pig? ”

"Of course."

Zhao Hua brought over a black pig tied to the side of the cart and said: "Xiaolang, look, I told you that day, my pig has a white spot on its ear, and the one you gave me didn't have, so I have always suspected that the pig is not mine, it was I who blamed Xiaolangjun, and now it seems that this is indeed the case, Xiaolang's benevolence and righteousness make me ashamed." ”

Shen Chen saw that there was indeed a white spot on the pig's ear.

Old man Du also pointed to the wild boars on the cart and said, "We slaughtered these wild boars and cut open their stomachs, and they were full of wheat grains." This time I came to the pavilion, one is to apologize to Xiaolang, we have discussed, half of the wild boar here is given to Xiaolang. The second is to sell these pig breasts to make up for them to eat the wheat fields in the countryside. ”

Zhao Ran was already trembling at this time, and he was about to go limp. But there was no one around to help him, but he was afraid to avoid him like a plague god.

And Xiao Da, who came to testify before, rolled his eyes and wanted to run.

But the guards around have long surrounded people.

One by one, the soldiers were depressed.

This time I came to debate, not only did I not get a good deal, but now it seems that I may have to load one.

Only Shen Chen looked back at Zhuge Liang, full of gratitude.

In fact, that day in the township, he was really just afraid that the villagers would misunderstand them as thieves, so he said that he would give his pigs and some money to the villagers first, and then return them to him when he found out the truth later.

This will prevent gossip.

After all, during that time, they wandered around the township, as if they were here to step on something, and it was normal for them to be suspected by the villagers.

As a result, I didn't expect that at that time, a move that wanted to prove his innocence was attacked by someone.

Since you didn't steal it, why would you compensate the villagers for attacking him with such words, it is indeed surprising.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang thought much more far-reaching than him, thought carefully in all aspects, and sent people in advance to help the villagers encircle and suppress the wild boar and return him to innocence.

This made Shen Chen very glad that he had such an all-round friend as Zhuge Liang by his side.

As for that Zhao Ran.

It can only be said that he just hit the muzzle of the gun.

If he just debated with Shen Chen, nothing would happen.

But he had to use this as a spurious reason to attack Shen Chen's moral character, and he deserved to go to prison.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
