Chapter 1485

Pei Cheng also looked stunned, but then sneered and said, "Your Majesty, Minister Gao is too arrogant. If he is not punished severely, how can he convince the people of the world?"

Minister of Works Ding Yimo saw this and stood out directly.

"In front of Your Majesty, the murderer who beat people is so lawless. This subject also asks Your Majesty to punish him severely!"

Ding Yimo originally thought that after he stood out, there would be many responders behind him.

But strangely, no one followed!

At this moment, a sense of unease also emerged in his heart.

After midnight yesterday, Pei Cheng sent someone to his residence again, telling him that the Living Yama had many enemies, and as long as he stood out, there would be many responders.

Pei Cheng was also dumbfounded. He looked at Cui Xinghe, looked at Wang Zhong and Yan Zheng and others.

But several people avoided his gaze.

As the people who knew Gao Yang best, this scene... made them feel a sense of familiarity.

As if... as if they had experienced it!

Lu Wen had been secretly observing the officials and naturally smelled the faint murderous intent, and his heart was worried for Gao Yang.

But now, he was no longer worried!

And, he remembered this scene.

When the Living Yama visited Suiyang County, when he was furious and killed people because of the nursery.

That scene was so similar to today's morning court?

That day, the Living Yama also pleaded guilty directly, and then threw out a king bomb!

Setting up schools widely, one million taels of silver!

Later, ten million taels of silver!

Once this move was made, all calculations and troubles were eliminated into nothingness.

And now, Gao Yang came again.

He pleaded guilty strangely again, full of wrongness.

A person's life will face many opportunities, and these opportunities hit like raindrops.

But most of the time, people seem to have footwork, skillfully avoiding these opportunities one by one.

Now, he, Lu Wen, is fighting to repair the relationship and become a person of the Living Yama, or continue to shrink.

Lu Wen took a deep breath and stood out.

His standing out made Ding Yimo feel a sense of relief.

Pei Cheng is very strong, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review stood on the side of the Living Yama yesterday, and was bought today?

"Your Majesty, the wound on Pei Ji's buttocks was ordered by this subject to be beaten by the yamen runners. Pei Ji showed contempt for the court and insulted a court official. This subject ordered him to be beaten with five heavy strokes, and it was very satisfying to beat him!"

"This subject hates people who show contempt for the court the most. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, this subject also pleads guilty!"

Once these words were spoken, Ding Yimo's face turned black.

It seems... it seems he had pitted himself!

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes were deep, looking thoughtful.

She also gradually realized.

Today's scene also reminded her of the nursery matter.

Thinking of the means Gao Yang promised her to curb the Pei family, Wu Zhao's heart couldn't help but feel secretly excited.

Today's morning court seems to have come to the right place.

"Lord Gao, listening to your words, is there a reason for beating people? According to our Da Qian law, beating members of the scholar-official class is a crime increased by three degrees, do you know that?"

Wu Zhao reacted for the first time, starting to build a stage for Gao Yang, pretending to be furious.

Gao Yang stood straight and said with his neck stiff: "Your Majesty, because this subject was really angry in his heart, this subject really couldn't swallow this breath, so this subject took action!"

"Oh?"

"What matter made you so angry? You didn't hesitate to violate our Da Qian law and beat someone?"

Wu Zhao continued to cooperate, singing in harmony.

Gao Yang closed his eyes and said with a sigh.

"This subject... this subject is for the sake of the poor scholars of the world, I implore Your Majesty to judge!"

Once these words were spoken.

Buzz!

Cui Xinghe's eyes widened. When this sentence "for the sake of the poor scholars of the world" came out, goosebumps all over his body rose.

It's over!

The Pei family... is over!

Although he didn't know what means Gao Yang had prepared, Cui Xinghe's intuition told him that the Pei family was definitely finished!

Not only Cui Xinghe, Wang Zhong was even more shocked and subconsciously retreated.

This reminded him of some very bad memories. Last time Gao Yang said "for the sake of the poor scholars of the world", it directly led to the birth of the first ruthless person in Da Qian, making him a laughingstock to this day.

Now... it's here again!

For today's matter, no amount of silver or human favor can be involved!

Pei Ji's eyes showed disbelief.

No, he just stood up for Song Qingqing and came to reason, what does this have to do with the poor scholars of the world?

Is this bastard not finished?

Still want to continue talking nonsense?

"Lord Gao, do you still want to make things up? Are you really not afraid of not being able to sleep at night?"

Pei Ji said with grief and indignation.

"This official is upright, why wouldn't I be able to sleep?"

Gao Yang finished speaking righteously and said to Wu Zhao, "Your Majesty, the matter is like this."

"Yesterday, Young Master Pei came to reason with this subject for the sake of the daughter of the Song family, and this subject also knew he was excessive, so he agreed."

"Later, this subject discussed a matter with Young Master Pei. It was this matter that made this subject angry, and he could no longer endure the anger in his heart!"

At this moment, Pei Ji was anxious.

"Your Majesty, this bastard is making things up again, don't listen!"

"Really don't listen!"

Pei Cheng also wanted to speak.

But Wu Zhao waved her hand and said, "No need to say more, I have my own decision!"

"Minister Gao, continue!"

Gao Yang saw this, his voice louder.

"Since the founding of our Da Qian, the imperial examination has had a clear regulation: candidates participating in the imperial examination must prepare their own 'examination paper', and this paper must not be inferior hemp paper, but mulberry paper made of mulberry bark mixed with silk, fumigated and dyed!"

"Otherwise, it is 'disrespect to the sages', and the examination qualification will be directly canceled!"

"But this mulberry paper is extremely expensive, worth a hundred coins a sheet. Even if the poor scholars go bankrupt, they can hardly afford it!"

"There have even been tragedies where talented people couldn't afford examination paper!"

"And what is most infuriating is that the books of sages must also be written on mulberry paper. A copied 'Analects' is actually worth five taels of silver. Who can afford to study among the poor scholars?"

"This subject couldn't bear it, so he kindly asked the young master of the Pei family to be cheaper, so as not to cut off the path of learning for the poor scholars of the world!"

"But who knew... who knew that the young master of the Pei family actually said, if you can't afford to study, then don't study, the words of the sages must not be insulted!"

"In a fit of rage, this subject couldn't help but take action, and Father and Grandfather couldn't stand it, so they took action together!"

Instantly.

Pei Cheng felt cold on his back, as if facing a great enemy.

The officials also gasped, knowing the ruthlessness of Gao Yang's move!

The Pei family controls the craftsmanship of mulberry paper and the raw materials, almost monopolizing mulberry paper.

This is also one of the foundations of the Pei family!

Once Gao Yang said this, the truth of the facts was no longer important.

The Pei family would definitely lose the hearts of the people and be shouted at by everyone.

Because this mulberry paper is indeed too expensive, and this phenomenon is indeed unfair!

But this was not over yet.

Everyone only heard Gao Yang continue with a face full of righteousness. ===== CHAPTER 1487 =====
