Chapter 532 The battle between the official and the poor family, all slaughtered!
Chen Tongwen regretted it very much at this time, and felt that he should not have thought of threatening people like Min Shouzheng with this in the first place, but should have informed the court directly.
But at this moment, Chen Tongwen regretted that it was too late, he vomited blood and died, fell to the ground, and then watched helplessly as his house collapsed in the flames, and also watched his murderer walk away helplessly.
Because he went to tell him about it all night, several failed classmates knew that there was cheating in the rural examination, and Chen Zhongyong, the son of Chen Tongwen, who came back the next morning with ink scrolls, only saw his home turned into a rubble field after returning. He also saw his father lying dead on the ground.
Chen Zhongyong was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned and left, gritted his teeth, and only entered the inn.
"Father! Mother!"
And after he opened the room and entered his room, he burst into tears.
After his mood calmed down, Chen Zhongyong took the pen and paper, began to write the whistleblower, and threw the whistleblower into the bulletin box of the post station in the neighboring county.
And after he came back from the neighboring county, several classmates who failed the exam found him.
A student named Lu Zhende asked Chen Zhongyong: "Brother Zimei, do you know anything about your family?"
Chen Zhongyong pretended to be surprised after hearing this: "What's wrong with my family?"
Lu Zhende replied: "Your house was burned without a piece of paper, and your father was even killed on the spot!"
Chen Zhongyong hurriedly ran towards his home, then knelt on the ground and cried loudly again: "Who wants to kill my father?! Woohoo!"
"Brother Zimei, condolences!"
"In my opinion, this should be related to your father's knowledge of the cheating in the rural examination."
"Yeah, it must be because of this. The people behind this scene are really despicable! It seems that something is wrong with this rural examination."
At this time, Lu Zhende comforted Chen Zhongyong, and then said.
"That's right! The state has been supporting scholars for more than two hundred years, we can't just let them spoil the imperial court's talent promotion ceremony! We have to report this to the Fuyuan."
Another student, Wang Zhen, also appealed.
Chen Zhongyong got up and said with tears in his eyes: "We can't rely on just a few of us. We have to mobilize all the poor people who are still in the southern capital, and let everyone take action together to denounce injustice! Why is it that the country's talent promotion ceremony has become the first choice for officials? It is a tool for the clan to control the power of the court, if this continues, what will the country be called a country, and what will the people be called the people?!"
After the reform of the subordinate staff system this year, Chen Zhongyong was a prodigy who took the provincial examination right after he passed the hospital examination. He had to wait two years for cheating, not to mention that he knew that if his father died, he would probably silence him because the officials who cheated in the examination room would know that he knew about it, so he simply wanted to It became high-profile, and it seemed that it wanted to compete with the bureaucrats who cheated in the examination room.
"Brother Zimei is right!"
"The national talent promotion ceremony cannot become a tool for the elites of the gentry to monopolize the progress of the world!"
"We have to fight! We have to fight for our country!"
Lu Zhende followed suit.
Wang Zhen followed suit: "We should fight for justice for the country!"
In recent years, there have been more and more common people studying, and there have been a lot of poor scholars, but the poor scholars still account for a small number, especially the number of Juren and Jinshi.
If Zhu Yijun hadn't repeatedly ordered to increase the number of candidates and Jinshi, these low-level scholars would still blame the emperor for not recruiting wise men.
But Zhu Yijun has repeatedly issued decrees to increase the number of candidates and Jinshi, so all poor scholars in the world know about it, so naturally they can't vent their grievances about their failure in the examination field to the court. It was caused by the expansion of the enrollment of students, so many poor scholars still feel that they should be content. After all, if it were not for the expansion of enrollment, they would not even pass the entrance examination.
But now it came out that it was because of the fraud in the examination room, and because the famous official family was deliberately monopolizing the way to make progress, so that these poor scholars like themselves were depressed, and these poor scholars instantly turned their blame on themselves into blame on the famous official family.
After all, it is human nature to evade one's own responsibilities and is unwilling to admit that one is not good enough. As long as one can attribute one's own failure to external causes, one will definitely attribute one's own failure to external causes.
Ever since, many poor scholars were organized.
More and more people became aware of Ying Tian's suspected fraud in the rural examination.
Min Shouzheng also panicked after learning about this, and couldn't help but ask Yang Yingkui: "What's going on, hasn't Chen Tongwen already dealt with it, and has his whole family been burned?"
Yang Yingkui said: "It is estimated that some fish slipped through the net. There is no way. The incident happened suddenly, and the eyeliner was not buried in advance, so it is inevitable that it will not be dealt with cleanly."
"How good is that."
"If the higher-ups really know that we secretly passed the song in the scientific research, I'm afraid the crime will not be small."
Min Shouzheng said worriedly.
Yang Yingkui said: "Why should you be worried, as long as we don't admit it, his court can't do anything. Is the article not up to standard, or is there really bribery? None! Naturally, we can't find any evidence!"
"As for judging the superiority and inferiority based on the appearance of a certain word or a certain number, it is pure nonsense! Who can prove it?"
Min Shouzheng said: "That being said, what should we do if His Majesty wants to force justice for those who fail?"
"Unless His Majesty wants to offend all the official families in the world."
"I'm afraid that just as soon as he has this intention, Shen Shixing and other new parties will have to persuade him to obey the rules."
Yang Yingkui continued to comfort Min Shouzheng at this time, and said with a cold face: "However, these poor people who are causing trouble have to be dealt with. I hope that the fussman will be stronger."
"Yeah, don't make such a big fuss. When the time comes, His Majesty can't compromise even if he wants to compromise because he can't offend the Lord of Officials too much."
Min Shouzheng said.
In fact, Chen Zhongyong and other low-ranking people who failed in the rural examination had already come to the governor's office and found the governor of Yingtian. Uphold justice and report this matter to the imperial court."
Chen Zhongyong and others were very grateful.
But as soon as Chen Zhongyong and other poor scholars left the governor's yamen, they found that the streets where they lived were suddenly empty, the doors of the shops that used to be bustling were closed, and there were no boats on the river, only the drizzling winter. The rain flew over from the surface of the river and hit the person's cheek, which was very cold and bone-chilling.
"How is this going?"
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
And soon, they heard the sound of swords being drawn, and saw a large number of masked strong men holding sharp knives, coming out of the alleys on both sides of the front and back, each with murderous eyes, walking towards these humble men.
"What are they going to do?"
"It's like the dead soldiers secretly raised by the big family, who specialize in taking people's lives, otherwise they wouldn't show fierce eyes after seeing us scholars."
"what should we do?"
These underprivileged men began to panic.
And it didn't take long for these masked strong men to kill these humble men with their sharp knives, and cut anyone they saw.
"what!"
Soon there were screams.
Lu Zhende, a scholar who came with Chen Zhongyong, was first stabbed by a masked man who ran from behind, and suddenly felt the coldness behind him, and screamed "Ah", then fell down on the ground. He fell to the ground and said in pain, "It hurts!"
Seeing this, Chen Zhongyong ran to the river with all his strength, and jumped into the river first.
But before the other poor men could jump, they were stopped by many strong men with knives rushing over.
"what!"
Then, the underprivileged Wang Zhen was also hacked, and his intestines fell out.
Chen Zhongyong turned his head and saw this scene, but he didn't have time to say anything, he just dived into the water, at that time there was already a strong man jumping into the water and chasing Lai.
But on the shore at this time, the massacre continued.
A poor man knelt down and begged for mercy, but he was stabbed several times by these killers, and suddenly there were many transparent holes in his body.
Pfft!
These people killed poor people when they saw them, and soon all these poor people were slaughtered.
"I don't know how to be in awe, do you really think that after reading the book, you are as expensive as a famous official?"
The inspector Du Ruojia was standing on an attic with the governor Sun Weiwei at this time, watching this scene, and said something.
Sun Cheng also sneered and said, "This is the result of a heart higher than the sky and a life thinner than paper!"
"These people only think that it is not easy for them to study hard for a lifetime, but they forget that it is not easy for a family of officials to run a family business for several generations. ?”
"These pedantic and stubborn poor people shout for justice, but they never know what real justice is!"
