Chapter 10 A Gentleman Should Be Like That
Hearing this, the prefect turned his gaze to Liu Ping again and asked, "How do you repay your grievances?"
Liu Ping said: "Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness." β
The prefect shook his head and said, "Straight and unkind, what is straight?"
Listening to the prefect's words, Liu Ping was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes." β
"Yes?"
Liu Ping said: "Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness." Straight and unkind, not straight and unrighteous. Take it yourself, a gentleman should be like this. β
Listening to Liu Ping's words, the prefect did not speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a little gleam of approval flashed in his eyes.
Bai Zhi and Ying Ning next to them didn't understand at all, but just looked at Liu Ping with an unclear gaze.
Wang Hong understood it, although the truth was very simple, if it was ordinary, he would be able to say it after thinking about it, but at this time, in front of the prefect, he felt such pressure, and he could even say it calmly, which made him feel endless admiration for Liu Pingsheng.
Not long ago, after seeing Liu Ping repelling the giant wolf and saving himself, he had a lot of courtesy, and felt that he was brave but polite, and he was worth befriending. But now it seems that he is extraordinary but quick-witted, not afraid of danger, and calm. Such a person is really promising, according to Liu Ping's words, it is a thick thigh, and he must be hugged as soon as possible.
A satisfied smile hung on the corner of the prefect's mouth, and he whispered: "What a golden mean." β
When the little girl scolded the prefect angrily, most of the people did not react because they were too shocked, but they reacted at this time, and immediately said fiercely: "This is already a mistake, you still want to be impartial and unfaulted? Circle the prefect's words in a moderate way? It's really sophistry, ridiculous!"
The magistrate of Qinshui County said: "Strong words and sophistry! What a villain! Hurt people, but still want to say that he can directly repay his grievances? I think the main sin in this matter lies with you!"
The county agreed: "It should be so." β
After all, the Wang family has a good relationship with him, and in order to explain, they have to try their best to keep Wang Hong, and as for Liu Ping, who is this, it is better to be the scapegoat. This will give you a lot more room to maneuver.
"Yes, we didn't do anything to be sorry for them at all! they were the ones who hurt people first!" the three strong men wailed.
Liu Ping listened to the words of these people, secretly amused, lowered his head, and did not speak.
Sure enough, the prefect shouted coldly: "Shut up!"
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone listened to the prefect's anger, and their hearts were cold, and they were a little confused, what was wrong?
"Mr. Bai, please get up first. The prefect said to the old man who fell to his knees.
Then he turned his head and asked coldly: "I just asked him a few words, and I didn't blame him, but you keep blaming him, what do you mean?"
Slap the horse's ass on the horse's leg!
The faces of the people around him suddenly became extremely different, their hearts were terrified, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs.
These entourages, all of whom are local officials, naturally wanted to pat the prefect's ass and make a good impression, but they didn't expect to get such a result. My heart was full of bitterness, and I didn't know how to answer the prefect's question.
"One by one, I don't know what to say, I just know how to say my words more violently, from the beginning to the end, I didn't get angry, and now you dare to disobey my words? What does this mean? I think you are the ones who use strong words and sophistry! I think you are the ones who turn black and white upside down!" The prefect angrily rebuked: "Do you really want me to punish the good and promote the evil? Well? Why don't you speak!"
"The prefect forgives you!"
"Your Excellency, forgive your sins!"
Many officials were frightened and hurriedly made amends, and a few even fell to their knees in fright.
The eyes of the three strong men widened even more, and some of them did not react, how could this matter change so suddenly, and they didn't know what was going on at all! But one thing they knew was that they were probably going to be planted! Suddenly, their faces were as if they were dead, and their hearts were full of fear.
"Get up. The prefect frowned and said, obviously a little displeased: "What kind of system? These ruffians and hooligans, molesting and beating, this matter can be big or small, but it is absolutely impossible to blame two children for this and reverse black and white. β
"Yes. "The people who have already made a mistake in the sycophants dare not say much.
The prefect looked at Liu Pingdao again: "Reading the book of sages, it is important to be polite and benevolent, but it must also be righteous, otherwise it is just a corrupt Confucian, how can you talk about serving as a national event? You are very good, I thought you were just reckless, but I didn't want you to really understand this." β
It turns out that this guy has been beating and testing himself from the beginning? Liu Ping suddenly felt a little speechless in his heart, although he was a little dissatisfied, but it was impossible to show it, so he had to arch his hand and say: "The prefect praises falsely." β
"You fanatics! you are so bold and lawless!" Seeing that the situation was settled and would not be reversed, the magistrate immediately changed his face and shouted at the three strong men.
The three strong men knelt on the ground, kept kowtowing, and begged: "My lord's forgiveness, my lord's forgiveness!
In their hearts, they were also extremely complaining, although they were wrong, but they were so seriously injured, and they were ignored like this? The prefect's words made them understand that this was weishenme, they were just ruffians and hooligans, and Wang Hong and Liu Ping were children.
"What is the last resort?" the magistrate sneered: "No need to quibble, come here, put these three people in prison!"
"Slow down, adult. Liu Ping hurriedly said, "Can you listen to the next sentence?"
Zhixian's tone softened a lot, and he asked, "What words?"
"These three people are guilty, but they are only accomplices, not the main offenders, so let them tell everything about what happened, who instructed them, and if so, they can confess and be lenient. "This turmoil was completely caused by that Wang Ke, and Liu Ping naturally couldn't forget him.
After speaking, Liu Ping turned his head to the three of them: "Tell me the truth word for word, the so-called confession is lenient, resistance is strict, but you have to understand." β
So, the three of them told the whole story. The magistrate was immediately furious: "Wang Ke? It turns out to be him! I have long heard that this guy is not behaving properly, but I don't want to be so bold!"
"I think he should be nearby. Liu Ping glanced around, with his slut virtue, he should feel that he would be miserable, so he hid in the distance to watch the show.
Sure enough, Liu Ping saw Wang Ke and couldn't help grinning at him.
At this time, Wang Ke was a little frightened, the three of them knelt down and begged for mercy, and then got up again, what were they doing? What were they talking about? What was going on? Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to turn around and leave, but at this moment, he saw that Liu Ping looked over and smiled at himself!
Damn it!
Wang Ke turned around and fled, but before he could run far, officers and soldiers chased after him, grabbed him like a chicken, and then brought him to the prefect.
"Student Wang Ke paid a visit to the prefect. Wang Ke was frightened in his heart, but he pretended to be calm on the surface, and asked with some doubts: "I don't know the prefect, the county magistrate called the students, why did you come?"
The magistrate said, "These three people are your people?"
Wang Ke shook his head: "I don't know them!"
The three strong men immediately said, "How can you be so ruthless? Obviously you sent us, because we were forced by life, for the sake of money, we had to obey your orders, and you put the responsibility on us to teach our wives and children how to live?"
"Students don't really know them. Wang Ke glared at the three of them fiercely, but still didn't admit it.
Liu Ping smiled and asked, "Then do you know me?"
"I don't know. Wang Ke shook his head.
"Then what are you doing hiding in the distance and peeking here?" Liu Ping asked, "Then why did you see me smiling at you and running away?"
Wang Ke was stunned and speechless.
With a wave of his hand, the magistrate directly imprisoned him. That's the end of it.
The prefect, who had watched the farce, shook his head, and then said, "This pavilion of yours is very good, can you invite us in to rest for a while?"
Wang Hong and Liu Ping immediately said: "Peng Shen is shining, I can't ask for it." β
Then, everyone sat down, and Liu Ping asked Bai Zhi to leave with Ying Ning temporarily, Wang Hong looked at the back of Ying Ning leaving, and sighed, but there was no reason to stop them from leaving.
"You two should be children, right?" the prefect looked at Liu Ping and Wang Hong and asked, "Are you sure you can pass this year's show?"
Wang Hong said: "Nine times out of ten. β
Liu Ping said: "Sure." β
"It's pretty good. After all, it's not too difficult to show talent. The prefect smiled, for him, who had been admitted to Tanhua, he was really a pediatrician.
"I almost wronged you this time, and I'm here to give you a chance. Test you, four books and five classics and don't say, this is play, or have a mood. Then the poem, with the maple leaf as the theme, if I can make a poem that satisfies me, I will recommend you two to go to the Apocalypse Academy!" The prefect asked with a smile.
"Apocalypse Academy?" Liu Ping was a little puzzled.
And Wang Hong next to him knew the meaning of these four words, even if he was net worth, if he couldn't get the qualification of a first-class student in Xiucai, if he wanted to enter the Apocalypse Academy, it would take a lot of effort.
Moreover, this is not only a benefit, but also represents the cultivation of the prefect!
Listening to Liu Ping's puzzled tone, Wang Hong hurriedly pulled him and said, "Thank you, Lord Prefect." β
But...... After thanking him, he was a little dumbfounded, if there is no inspiration in the poetry, where can he say and do it? Even if it is done raw, it is just random and messy, not worth mentioning, and it cannot satisfy the prefect at all!
What should I do? Wang Hong's heart was extremely entangled for a while, racking his brains to think.
Liu Ping looked at Wang Hong's eyes, understood in his heart, groaned slightly, walked three steps, and said: "The rain hits the green pine green, and the frost dyes the maple leaf red." The wind blows the white clouds, and thousands of miles send tenderness. β
"Well, that's good. The prefect listened and nodded.
"It's okay, indeed. Many officials next to him also nodded secretly, although they were not amazing, but they barely passed.
Wang Hong opened his mouth wide, and secretly said in his heart: Okay!
However, he didn't see the regretful look that flashed in the prefect's eyes, although it was good, but it was still too far from his expectations. Originally, I valued Liu Ping a little and wanted to accept him as a protΓ©gΓ©, but if I only had this talent, I would forget it.
However, Liu Ping took two more steps and said:
"Far up the cold mountain stone path slope,"
"There are people in the depths of the white clouds. β
"Parking sits in love with Maple Grove Evening,"
"Frost leaves red in February flowers. β
"Far up the cold mountain stone path slopes, deep in the white clouds there are people. Parking sits in love with the maple forest in the evening, and the frost leaves are red in February. The prefect silently recited twice, and couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaim: "Good!
Listening to such good poems, the people next to them were stunned, looking at each other, not knowing what to say. Is the boy in front of him really just a child?
