"What? Liu Hu was expelled by His Highness for his misbehavior? And because of this, he held a grudge and deliberately sold fake test answers in the name of the eldest prince, deliberately seeking revenge and defrauding students of a large amount of money?"
"Damn it, Liu Hu is simply treasonous. He must be brought to justice and punished on the spot."
"I heard that the person has escaped long ago. The world is so big. Where can I find him in a short while?"
"The Yamen must take responsibility. We have all been defrauded of so much money, and we cannot just let it go."
"Yes! Moreover, after all, Liu Hu belongs to His Highness the First Prince. If fake test questions are sold in his name, the First Prince cannot just sit idly by and ignore it! Besides, who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Maybe..."
"Don't talk nonsense. The news just came. After His Highness learned about it, he rushed to Guiling. He said that Liu Hu was once his man after all. After discussing with the Fourth Highness, he expressed his willingness to arrest Liu Hu before the Yamen. , take the lead in compensating the defrauded students.”
"really?"
"It's absolutely true, the latest news just came out from the Yamen."
"His Highness is worthy of being a prince, let's just say it! How could His Highness, a dignified prince, do such a thing? It's clear that Liu Huhu is pretending to be a tiger."
"..."
In the Gongyuan, similar news quickly spread.
Many deceived students flocked to the Yamen to confirm the authenticity of the news.
The Yamen quickly gave a definite answer and said that the amount was huge. His Highness was preparing money and would soon compensate everyone.
The students who were deceived were all jubilant.
Zhu Tong's heart was bleeding.
But there was no other way. At this point, he had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
The next day, he and Lin Bai appeared outside the Gongyuan. After hearing this, countless students rushed in quickly, surrounding the huge scene.
"It's His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness, they are indeed here!"
All the students were a little impatient.
Needless to say, those who were deceived, and those who were not deceived also had the mentality of watching the fun.
Lin Bai looked at the crowd with a faint smile on his face, then raised his hand slightly, and the huge crowd suddenly became quiet.
"Everyone! Everyone must have heard the relevant news."
"The eldest brother's responsibility for a guard who has been expelled from the palace is really admirable..."
After asking for so much money, it's not too much to say a few nice words.
The talented man smiled and said he didn't want money.
Zhu Tongxin was bleeding, but on the surface he could only hold it back, and modestly said that he was also responsible. He failed to restrain his subordinates properly and failed to inform Liu Hu of the incident in time, allowing him to take advantage of it.
In short, the picture is very harmonious, respectful brothers and virtuous brothers, they are really a pair of good brothers.
The students who were deceived were also deeply moved.
He always emphasized that the prince was responsible.
At this time, Lin Bai suddenly changed the topic and said: "This case of selling test questions, Liu Hu committed a heinous crime, and the eldest brother had the courage to take responsibility. It can be regarded as a happy ending."
"But besides Liu Hu, all the students who bought the answers, shouldn't you also review them?"
As soon as this was said, many people immediately responded.
"Not bad! It wasn't because I wanted to cheat that Liu Hu took advantage of him. I think he deserved it!"
"With such behavior, His Highness the Fourth Prince should not seek justice for them."
"Well said! If the test questions are true, then where is the fairness to other students?"
"..."
There are not a few people who buy the answers to the test questions, but there are undoubtedly more people who don't buy them.
The imperial court went through a lot of trouble for a group of people who wanted to cheat, and now it had to compensate them, which undoubtedly made these students with good conduct very dissatisfied.
There was a lot of noise.
Amidst this noisy sound, the deceived students suddenly did not dare to say anything.
After all, it was a mistake.
Lin Bai allowed these people to clamor and did not rush to speak. This was the effect he wanted.
If you want to cheat, there is no punishment or price at all. It is too easy for them, and it is too unfair for others.
Um! Although he had a share of credit for this, the great talent obviously would not admit it.
When the crowd was almost noisy, Lin Bai raised his hand and said: "It is right for scholars to want to go to high school, but if they want to cheat to get to high school, it is a big mistake."
"This prince will never forgive you."
Hearing this, the deceived students all became a little nervous.
On the contrary, those students who did not buy the answers applauded one after another.
"If you do something wrong, you do something wrong. I don't want you to make excuses, and there are no excuses to make. Since this is your first time, I don't need to pursue it further."
"But there must be punishment."
Lin Bai scanned the crowd and continued: "This prince has decided that half of the money you have been deceived will be withheld as a punishment for you, so that you will remember this lesson."
"And this prince will not want you for half of the deduction. I will use the same amount of money to establish the Southwest Student Aid Fund together with the half of the deduction to help outstanding students from poor families. In the future, there will be outstanding students Students, if their family conditions are difficult, can apply for the scholarship fund.”
"The operation of the fund is completely open and transparent, and it accepts the supervision of students all over the world."
"..."
"good!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
"In my opinion, not a single copper coin should be returned to them. His Highness is too kind to provide so much money himself."
"That's right, Your Highness only cares about scholars."
There were countless cheers and moved voices from the crowd.
Especially those who did not buy the test questions and the poor students, the former were extremely happy, after all, the cheaters got the punishment they deserved.
Not to mention the latter, who came from a poor family, which is undoubtedly good news for them.
The huge scene burst into cheers.
Lin Bai looked at the deceived students and asked, "What do you think?"
"Your Highness, we are willing to accept punishment."
The students who were deceived naturally had no objections, and it was already very rare for them to be able to get half of their money back.
After all, even if you are cheated, you can only pay for a lesson.
But this time there were too many people involved.
Someone took the lead and took to the streets, and everyone followed suit, and the government did not stop them.
In the past, you could only admit that you were unlucky and had no way to sue. If you were not good enough, you would not be caught by the Yamen, so...
What's more, His Highness has paid so much money, which is tantamount to being punished with them, so how can they have any shame?
"very good!"
Lin Bai said loudly, "My prince hopes that you will remember this lesson, be down-to-earth, have the courage to take on responsibilities, and learn from the eldest brother."
"After all, this matter has nothing to do with the eldest emperor brother, but the eldest emperor brother is still willing to take this responsibility. You know, once Liu Hu can't be found, the money will have to be paid by the eldest prince. Even if Liu Hu is brought to justice, he will be defrauded. Money may also be squandered.”
"So, you should all thank the Great Emperor."
Various sounds of gratitude came.
From the heart.
However, the corners of Zhu Tong's eyes kept twitching, and his teeth were chattering faintly.
The smile on his face was as stiff as a statue.
