Liu Siye walked over with an angry look on his face.
When they saw Liu Siye, the officers immediately stopped their wooden sticks in mid-air and stopped beating him.
They all knew that Zhao Da did not dare to provoke Liu Siye, let alone them?
When Zhao Da saw this, he immediately stopped sweating.
He didn't expect that Liu Siye would come here at this time, and he also heard that he had just ordered to attack the scholar.
"Si... Lord Si Ye, you... why are you here?"
Zhao Da came to Liu Siye and asked nervously.
At this time, Liu Siye was so angry that his lips trembled.
"If I didn't come, how could I see that Mr. Zhao dared to order a man to attack a scholar?"
Liu Si also gritted his teeth and said.
"Lord Si Ye, you have to make the decision for us!"
"The county magistrate not only collected the story books without any reason, but now he wants to attack us. He doesn't take the scholars seriously at all!"
"The lives of us scholars are as trivial in the eyes of the county magistrate. Sir Si Ye, please make the decision for us!"
…
Before Zhao Da could speak, the scholars around him knelt down and said to Lord Si Ye.
Soon the scholars all knelt down towards Lord Si Ye.
Seeing such a scholar kneeling in front of him made Liu Siye even more moved, and his anger towards Zhao Da became even stronger.
When Zhao Da saw this, he became even more frightened.
"Master Zhao, you said you accepted my story book, so you accepted it, and I didn't say anything. After all, reputation cannot compete with officials!"
"But how can you order the beating of scholars? They are the future of our country! Our future development depends on them!"
"You are an official of the imperial court, why don't you care about Daxia's future at all?"
At this time, Chen Fan stood up and said as if he hated iron.
Hearing Chen Fan say this, the anger on Liu Siye's face became even thicker.
"Zhao Da, when a person like you becomes an official, it is simply a misery for the people. I will report this matter to the court truthfully."
Liu Siye said with a dark face.
Hearing this, Zhao Dana's legs immediately became weak.
Many officials in the court were students of Liu Siye. If Liu Siye reported this matter, he would definitely not be able to serve as county magistrate.
"Plop."
Zhao Da knelt directly in front of Liu Siye.
"Liu Siye, just please spare me! I don't dare to do it anymore."
Zhao Da begged with cold sweat.
However, Liu Siye seemed not to hear, and still looked at Zhao Da with an angry face.
"Lord Siye, you have misunderstood my father."
At this moment, Zhao Hongwei came out and said.
He knew that if he didn't come out, his father would not be able to become the county magistrate, and he might be implicated in the incident.
Hearing Zhao Hongwei's words, Liu Siye looked at Zhao Hongwei with anger in his eyes.
"Did I misunderstand him?"
"Didn't he just order the officers to attack the scholars?"
"Do you think that I am deaf, or do you think that all the scholars here are deaf?"
Liu Siye stared at Zhao Hongwei and said.
"The student doesn't dare. What the student means is that my father didn't just want to attack the scholar."
"But these scholars are mixing with these unruly people in public. These unruly people want to use the scholars as a cover to insult the imperial officials."
"What my father just said was to take action against these unruly people, not the scholars."
Zhao Hongwei explained immediately.
Hearing this, Liu Siye wanted to refute, but he couldn't find anything to refute for the moment.
Because Gaicai Zhao Da did not say that he was attacking scholars.
Zhao Hongwei finally found a loophole.
Hearing this, Zhao Da stood up immediately.
"Lord Si Ye, I just spoke to those unruly people, not to the scholars."
"You have misunderstood me."
Zhao Da said.
When Liu Siye saw this, he was so angry that he gasped for air.
The scholars around him were very angry when they heard this, but they could not refute it for the moment.
Zhao Da and Zhao Hongwei looked at each other, and a smile suddenly appeared on their lips.
"I wonder if Mr. Zhao can find out which of the people present is the unruly person?"
"If you can't even find anyone, does Mr. Zhao want to beat up everyone present?"
Just when the Zhao family and his son were feeling proud, Chen Fan stood up and said with a smile on his face.
Hearing Chen Fan's words, Liu Siye and all the scholars present suddenly brightened up.
"Yes, I dare to ask Mr. Zhao, which one of us is the unruly person?"
At this time, the scholar also spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongwei and Zhao Da immediately became nervous.
He looked at Chen Fan with cold eyes, but Chen Fan looked at them with disdain.
"Master Zhao, which one of these people is the unruly person?"
At this time Liu Siye also asked.
"This this……"
Zhao Da couldn't say a word for a long time.
He could only look to Zhao Hongwei for help.
At this time, Zhao Hongwei could only stand up.
"Back to Sir Si Ye, although my father can't recognize who the rogue is, what he just wanted to do is to let these officials go find the rogue."
Zhao Hongwei said quickly.
Chen Fan secretly thought that this guy is really vicious!
Hearing this, the officials present immediately looked at Zhao Hongwei with angry faces.
Zhao Hongwei's words were equivalent to putting all the blame on the officials.
"No...that's right, I want to ask the officials to find the unruly people."
Zhao Da said quickly.
Then he looked at the officials present with a threatening look. Although these officials were dissatisfied, no one dared to stand up at this time.
After all, Zhao Da is still the county magistrate and their immediate superior. If he offends Zhao Da, his job will be gone.
"snort."
When Liu Siye saw this, he could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold snort.
Although he knew that Zhao Da was talking nonsense, he could not find any evidence.
Fortunately, these scholars were not injured.
"Zhao Da, I ask you why you took away those storybooks? What right do you have to do this?"
Liu Siye asked with a dark face.
Hearing this, Zhao Da and Zhao Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, Sir, the imperial examination is about to take place. These filthy books will only make scholars waste their time."
"The lower official also took away the batch of story books for the sake of the scholars."
Zhao Da said calmly.
Apparently he had thought of this excuse before.
"Who told you that this book is filthy and miscellaneous?"
"This book has gorgeous vocabulary and contains the thoughts of family and country. It is of great benefit to students taking the imperial examination."
"I plan to write a letter when I return to Beijing this time to make these story books a must-read for scholars."
Liu Siye immediately retorted.
As soon as these words came out, the scholars present looked at Liu Siye in surprise.
If this storybook really becomes a must-read, then the learning is so interesting that readers will immediately smile.
Chen Fan didn't expect this old man to be so awesome. If this story book becomes a must-read for the imperial examination, the sales will definitely increase dramatically. Chen Fan also showed a smile.
In contrast, the faces of the Zhao family, father and son, and Chen Hao on the side suddenly turned bad.
Because if these books become must-read books for the imperial examination, Chen Fan's status will definitely rise rapidly.
