Ling Zhiyan was stunned by Hua Yitang's boldness. He didn't know anyone else, but Shan Yuanming was familiar to him. This man is a well-known talent in Suizhou. It is said that he was able to write at the age of three and poetry at the age of five. At the age of fourteen, he entered Suizhou's counties and villages to study. Five years later, he was selected as a tribute student and entered Dongdu to participate in the imperial examination that year. Unfortunately, he had no luck. , failed to reach the top spot in one fell swoop. The Dongdu Literary School took pity on talents and specially recruited him to enroll in the school, and introduced him to a network to help him write books and submit books (note). It is said that his literary talent was outstanding and amazed everyone in the court. Moreover, this man was old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and he liked to fight against injustice. He had a good reputation among the literary students. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely have a place among the first-class Jinshi in this department.
Unfortunately, a shocking "accident" occurred.
Once the fraud in the imperial examination of Feng's liberal arts school was revealed, the tree fell down and the students who were originally attached to the liberal arts school also suffered. The saint had previously issued a decree, saying that the fraud case in the liberal arts school should not implicate the students under the sect. Having lost the hearts of students all over the world, all liberal arts students can leave on their own and wait until next year to take the exam again.
These students were about to win a golden rice bowl, but their dreams were shattered. They were naturally sad and angry. In addition, rumors spread overnight that someone framed the Feng family for the Wenmen fraud case. They didn't know whether they were incited by others or received some instructions. The noise got bigger and bigger.
Shan Yuanming, who was deeply favored by the literary sect, was one of the best. After several rounds, he seemed to have become the little leader among these students. Apart from anything else, he was the one who led the organization of sitting in front of Dali Temple every day.
Ling Zhiyan knew Hua Yitang's intelligence, but when it came to talent and learning... did that guy have talent and learning? He dared to brazenly plan to argue with the famous Gongsheng in the street. Ling Zhiyan held up her forehead. No wonder Hua Yitang was so willing to pay him a thousand pieces of gold. Hua's money is really not easy to make!
When the students headed by Shan Yuanming heard Hua Yitang's words, they burst into laughter and mocked:
"A dandy dares to argue with us in the street?! Could it be that he has eaten too much wine and meat and fat has gone into his brain, and he is stupid, right?"
"How arrogant!"
"Ridiculous!"
"Wine bags and rice bags!"
"It's generous enough to make people laugh!"
"Put-you-dog-fart-" Hua Yitang put her fan to her cheeks and stretched out her voice, as if it had its own reverberation, suppressing all the sounds, "A bunch of stupid donkeys- right and wrong Don’t distinguish between—eating—dog—shit—”
"What did you say?!" The students were furious.
"How dare you yell and curse in the street!"
"It's so insulting to gentlemen!"
Hua Yitang raised an extremely disgusting smile, and his speech suddenly became very fast, "I was sitting in a carriage eating tea, admiring the scenery and singing songs. I was walking smoothly on the road, but you guys rushed up and started talking without explanation. Spewing excrement has soiled my tea and my songs. If I don't scold him back, wouldn't it be an insult to my elegance as the number one playboy in Yangdu?"
It has to be said that Hua Yitang is indeed the best talker in Yangdu. He is full of vigor and articulate when he curses people. It only took him one breath to complete such a long list of words. When everyone came to their senses, he was already drinking. The tea moistened the lips, and Mu Xia led the Hua family's attendants to applaud to create an atmosphere.
"Wow——" The people watching were extremely excited, and they all looked to the student's side, anticipating how this side would fight back.
Ling Zhiyan became even more melancholy. He squeezed into the crowd at every opportunity. While squeezing, he anxiously searched for Lin Sui'an in Hua's motorcade, thinking that if there was an emergency, she would have a way to calm Hua Yitang.
But the convoy was unusually calm, and Lin Sui'an was not found.
Ling Zhiyan suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that Lin Sui'an was not in the team?
"Ling Sizhi?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Are you coming to see the fun too?"
Ling Zhiyan suddenly turned around and saw Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo appearing behind him at some unknown time. Lin Sui'an was chewing on a pear, and Jin Ruo was holding a bag of white sugar cakes. The paper bag had the red seal of Bei City's Wang's Sugar Cake printed on it.
Ling Zhiyan: "Why are you here?"
Jin Ruo: "The hair of that pearl horse is reflective."
Lin Sui'an: "We are afraid of getting tanned."
Ling Zhiyan had never heard of such a strange reason. She really didn't know how to continue the conversation. She paused, decisively gave up the process of chatting and establishing friendship, and went straight to the topic, "Aren't you going to help Hanashiro?"
Lin Sui'an: "These soldiers are thin, their steps are sloppy, and their breathing is unstable. They probably have never practiced martial arts, and they can't beat Hua Yitang."
Ling Zhiyan: "...I didn't mean that -"
"When it comes to scolding skills, I feel inferior to him. It's better to let Hua Yitang do his best."
"It's not a quarrel, it's a reasoning..."
"Is there a difference?"
"..."
"Don't worry, if Hua Yitang loses, we'll go up and beat them all unconscious." Jin Ruodao said, "This is called - courtesy first, then attack!"
Lin Sian was very pleased: "You can teach me."
Ling Zhiyan: "..."
Can the Hua family's thousand gold be returned?
"Everyone! Everyone -" Shan Yuanming raised his hands to signal the students to calm down, "This person is full of filthy words and just wants to anger us. Don't be led astray by this person. We are here to discern justice." , you must convince people with reason!”
All the students suddenly realized:
"What Bai Ping said is true!"
"This person is indeed dangerous!"
"I almost fell into his trap!"
"Bai Ping still has great wisdom!"
Shan Yuanming took a long breath and looked straight at Hua Yitang, "Silang of the Hua family, I know that you have a prominent family and are extremely wealthy, but justice is the pillar of the world and cannot be shaken by family wealth. You are just for your own selfish desires. , framed Feng's literary sect, put the world's students in dire straits, put the Tang Dynasty's cultural heritage in a precarious situation, the foundation of the country will be destroyed in your hands, dream about it at midnight, how can your conscience be at ease?!"
All the people said "Wow" and looked at Hua Yitang again.
Hua Yitang sneered: "Feng's scientific examination fraud, with all the witnesses and material evidence, why did it become a frame-up when it came to you?"
"Feng's private school was discovered by Hua. The scroll that leaked the test questions was also found by Hua. The key evidence was provided by Feng's old enemy. How can the authenticity of this evidence not be suspicious?" Shan Yuanming said, " What's more, Feng's literary family has a high moral integrity and has been supporting poor students for decades without asking for anything in return or gold or silver. How can such good deeds and such high righteousness destroy the family? It must be Hua's jealousy when she saw Feng's fame. Only when a wise man is envious of a capable man can he resort to traps!"
"Oh!" Hua Yitang sprayed a tea, shaking the fan and laughed, the laughter was endless, and the whole street was shaking, "Hahahahahahahahahaha-"
Shan Yuanming was overjoyed and raised his voice: "Everyone! Everyone! Have you seen this?! This person must have been accused of evil deeds by me, and he is so ashamed that he has gone crazy with excitement!"
"Oh shit!" Hua Yitang's laughter suddenly stopped, "Who is the Feng family? Why should he be compared with my Hua family?! You said that the Feng family is famous? Where is the fame? In your short-sighted mung bean eyes ? Open your bastard eyes and see clearly, Hua's shops are spread all over the states and counties of the Tang Dynasty, Hua's caravans have traveled all over the Silk Road, Hua's merchant ships have traveled across the ocean, and Hua's business name is famous all over the world. Ask the people around you, How many people know the Feng family? How many people know the Hua family?!"
The onlookers nodded frequently.
"Kashiro is right! If we are talking about being a household name, it must be the Hua family!"
"We are all rough guys, we can't even read, so who cares about Feng's business."
"Fifty percent of the shops in Bei City, East City, and West City have the Hua family's clan emblem printed on them. You don't see them when you look up and look down every day, even if you don't want to remember them."
"The goods in Hua's shop are good. The clothes will last for a long time and they can be repaired for free even if you are pregnant."
"Hua's felt hat is sturdy, practical and beautiful."
"I like Hua's accessories. There are new designs every month, especially the sachet balls recently, which are really magical."
Hua Yitang: "If I'm not mistaken, the clothes you are wearing, the shoes on your feet, the trousers, the belt, and the bun on your head are all bought from Hua's shop."
Shan Yuanming jerked his feet back, opened his mouth several times, but couldn't say a word.
Hua Yitang stood up and jumped out of the carriage with a strong figure. He was half a head taller than Shan Yuanming. He was handsome and dressed in fancy clothes. His years of fighting skills gave him an impressive aura. At that point, everyone is paying attention, and he stands out from the crowd: "You said that I have put the Tang Dynasty's cultural context in a precarious position. I want to ask you, do you know what cultural context is?!"
Shan Yuanming raised his chin: "I say wen, which starts from words, extends to poems and classics, and accumulates into three tombs and five canons. My pulse is the house of blood, which is the passage for the circulation of qi and blood. I mean cultural veins. It is the context of literature, the bloody palace of the country, carrying the soul of Xi, and a symbol of the prosperity of literature and music!"
The words were so impassioned that the students' blood boiled with enthusiasm and they clapped and shouted. But except for them, all the people watching were confused.
Hua Yitang tapped his forehead with his fan and said with a smile, "Do you understand what he said?"
The people all shook their heads: "I don't understand."
Hua Yitang shrugged: "I don't understand either. Please ask this weed layman to explain it to everyone."
"He is indeed an ignorant and incompetent dandy," Shan Yuanming sneered, "Listen carefully, cultural heritage is the blood of literature, the blood of national destiny!"
Hua Yitang banged his fan and said, "If you had said this earlier, wouldn't I have understood? In other words, you said that I kicked Feng's family over, which is equivalent to destroying Wen's bloodline and severing the fate of the country?"
Shan Yuanming was startled, as if he found something wrong in what he said, and was about to defend himself, but Hua Yitang suddenly preempted him and said in a loud voice, "Everyone must have heard it, this person said that Feng was the destiny of the Tang Dynasty! "
Shan Yuanming was shocked: "I never said that!"
"Ah, ah, how can the weed layman open his eyes and tell lies? Everyone can hear the truth!"
All the people agreed:
"Yes, yes, we all heard it."
"He jabbered a lot, and that's all he said!"
"You are still a scholar, but you don't recognize what you just said. It's really ridiculous."
Shan Yuanming was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, "That's not what I meant. Everyone, everyone, this person misinterpreted my meaning and it was sophistry. Don't believe him!"
Hua Yitang had a smile on his lips, squinting at him, and said in an unhurried voice, "A mere Feng family has only been in power for ten years, but it has become the foundation of the country's destiny in your mouth. Those who don't know, think that the Tang Dynasty has become him." Where is Feng’s world?”
"Hua Yitang! You speak disobedient words! You are treasonous! You have no regard for the saint and the court!" Shan Yuanming shouted angrily.
"You are the ones who committed the heinous crime of disobedience!" Hua Yitang's eyes were sharp and his voice was as sharp as a knife, "You keep saying that I framed Feng's family, do you have any evidence?!"
Shan Yuanming: "The Hua family and the Feng family have enmity. This is something everyone knows. I just infer it based on common sense——"
"The greatest absurdity in the world!" Hua Yitang slapped Shan Yuanming in the face with a loud and clear voice. How could Shan Yuanming, a scholar, have expected that Hua Yitang would hit anyone he said? , was suddenly slapped, covered his face and looked at Hua Yitang in shock.
"The case is based on real evidence, and inferences without evidence are worse than bullshit! You are just talking nonsense, confusing the public, and slandering the government based on a mere suspicion. You are the sinner who intends to destroy the foundation of our Tang Dynasty!" Hua Yi Tang said sharply.
"I, when did I slander the government, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you don’t gotta spit on anyone is bloody!
"This case was led by Dali Temple in collecting evidence, obtaining evidence, and interrogating. The Ministry of Punishment reviewed and reviewed the case, and the Yushitai supervised the entire process. All procedures were in compliance with the provisions of Tang law. How many government officials were working around the clock here, how many officials traveled thousands of miles, and how many officials were walking on thin ice, not to mention the evidence. If there is a flaw, even if there is an extra fly in the file, it will be clearly examined!" At this point, Hua Yitang suddenly raised his voice, and his petal-like clothes fluttered in the wind, bright and dazzling, "All this is to find out. The truth, in order to give scholars all over the world a truly fair and just imperial examination! This is the foundation of the national destiny!"
The street was silent, and everyone looked at the handsome young man in the sun, with tears filling his beautiful big eyes, "You idiots, this is all for you... for the future of the world." !”
Ling Zhiyan was stunned, wondering if it was his imagination. When Hua Yitang talked about how hard the official was working, he seemed to glance over here.
Jin Ruo: "Hey! I won!"
Lin Sui'an smashed Yahuazi: This dude's talking skills have been upgraded again. First, he suppressed Shan Yuanming's momentum with arbitrary and barbaric measures, and then went up step by step, making him confused with the crime of disobedience, and then crushing him crazily with factual evidence. Every sentence was penetrating, every word was penetrating, and even the punctuation marks were matched to the rhythm, especially It’s the last sentence that touches people with emotion and elevates the theme. It’s brilliant!
Looking at those students, they were all red-faced and ashamed, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Hua Yitang's eyes were fixed on Shan Yuanming, "Ask yourself, do you really think there is doubt in Feng's case, or is it because Feng's downfall has broken your path to Qingyun? Are you doing it for justice? Or for justice? Selfish desire? Have you really seen the truth? Or are you blind and only want to see what you want to see?"
Shan Yuanming took a few steps back and staggered to sit on the ground, sweat soaked through his clothes and his whole body trembling.
Hua Yitang sighed heavily, turned around and saluted the people around him, clasping his fists and saluting, "Hua is extremely guilty of missing everyone's time today because of Hua. To express my apology, within ten days from today, everyone present will go to Hua's to purchase items." , and you can enjoy a 20% discount if you sign up with the five-character code 'Flower Shiro Mighty'."
Ling Zhiyan's jaw dropped.
Jin Ruo was stunned: "So shameless!"
Lin Sui'an raised his forehead and smiled bitterly.
The people watching were extremely excited and shouted "Hua Shilang is mighty" as they bid farewell to Hua Shiro's motorcade.
A group of students stood blankly on the street, with blank eyes and panic, not knowing where to go.
After this battle, these students would never sit in front of Dali Temple again. Ling Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat and she looked at Lin Sui'an.
"Could it be that... Hua's motorcade entered the city with such a high profile because of-"
To help him?
Lin Sui'an smiled: "Si Ling has been here all the time, let's go have tea together."
Small theater 1:
an hour ago
Hua Yitang's back and buttocks were sore from riding the horse. He only lasted for half an hour before he couldn't stand it anymore. He returned to the carriage and fell asleep. When he woke up, the convoy had already entered the Changxia Gate of Dongdu. He Excitedly, he opened the car window to look for Lin Sui'an, but found that Lin Sui'an was missing. Not only Lin Sui'an was missing, but Jin Ruo, Yita, and Fang Ke were also missing.
"Mu Xia!" Hua Yitang shouted, "Lin Sui'an... cough, where has everyone gone?"
Mu Xia: "Doctor Fang fainted and vomited. Ita drove ahead and sent Dr. Fang to a separate courtyard to rest. Madam Lin and Jin Ruo went to play."
Hua Yitang: "Eh?"
"Yes, Shiro, not only did they not notify you, but they also went to play in pairs, inseparable and joyful." Xia Zhengse, the first person in the Mu Hua Clan's Gonghuo, said.
Hua Yitang's face turned green, his hair also turned green, and he clenched his fan so hard that it made a clicking sound.
At this moment, the convoy suddenly braked, and a cry came from outside:
"This person is the number one dandy in Yangdu, Shiro Hua?!"
Hua Yitang clenched his teeth and sneered: There is a way to heaven if you don't take it, but if there is no door to hell you break in! Just in time!
"Ew shit! Who is so ignorant that he would run into the middle of the road and bark like a dog?!"
Small theater 2:
Three days later, Yangdu Huazhai.
Ymel Le Dian Dian ran into the door, holding up two flying pigeon letters and saying: "70% of the raw pearls we imported in the first half of the year have been sold. The sales speed is twice as fast as last year, and the price is 30% higher! There are rumors among those buyers that Shiro Hua is buying pearl jewelry in Heyue City. The Hua family must have inside information and know that the price of pearls will increase, so they followed suit and spent money to stock up!"
Hua Yihuan paused while flipping through the account books, "This brat can actually get things right like this."
"Also, there is news from Dongdu! Shiro and a group of Gongsheng students are debating in the street on Zhongqu Avenue."
Hua Yihuan didn't even raise his eyelids: "Did you win the argument?"
"Of course I won."
"Um."
"Shiro came up with a secret code for a ten-day discount, calling Shiro Mighty. Dongdu responded, and one-third of the inventory accumulated at the end of the year was cleared. It was an unexpected surprise."
Hua Yihuan raised his eyebrows, "Firstly, it can promote inventory, and secondly, it can make a name for itself. Killing two birds with one stone is very good. If you pass on the order, the code will be promoted nationwide and the discount period will be extended for another ten days."
"yes!":,,
