Chapter 437

As soon as Ren Tang stood out, the entire hall became silent.

Everyone's gaze was focused on Ren Tang, who had half-white hair and was wearing white Confucian robes.

The matter of Pang Can visiting Ren Tang had already spread far and wide.

Now he has long since become a famous pure stream scholar.

"Lord Duan, I am Ren Tang, and I have a few words I would like to ask Lord Duan!"

Duan Yu glanced at Ren Tang, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly as he said: "Please speak, Elder Ren, I am listening attentively."

Ren Tang did not answer, his chin raised slightly, his hands behind his back.

His gray hair was combed neatly, he wore a high mountain cap on his head, and he was in a state of full-blown integrity of a famous master and great Confucian.

"Lord Duan, my first question: in the way of governing the people, should one take the path of peace and happiness, or should one take the path of disaster and chaos?"

"Since Lord Duan just said that to be an official for a term is to bring benefit to the region, then what is 'bringing benefit'?" Ren Tang looked at Duan Yu expressionlessly.

The atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly.

Ren Tang's implication was already very clear.

Duan Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the desk in front of him.

If the Ren Tang in front of him was truly asking this question for the sake of the people of Liangzhou and the people of Hanyang Commandery.

Then he, Duan Yu, would respect Ren Tang by three points.

However...

Just yesterday, there was an extra piece of intelligence on Duan Yu's desk.

An intelligence report collected by Liu Bai Tu.

Just when he ordered the officials of the commanderies and counties and the great families to come to Jixian together, Liang Gu, who had been missing for many days, went out.

And he went to visit Ren Tang.

Even the content of the conversation between the two during that time was placed in front of him without missing a word.

What Ren Tang asked did not represent his own attitude at all, but the attitude of Liangzhou Inspector Liang Gu.

"Since Elder Ren has asked..."

Duan Yu said slowly: "Then I also have a question: from what angle and what standpoint is Elder Ren asking this question, and on whose behalf?"

As soon as Duan Yu's words fell, the corner of Ren Tang's eye twitched imperceptibly.

But it still did not escape Duan Yu's eyes.

"I am naturally asking on behalf of the people of Hanyang Commandery and the commoners of Liangzhou," Ren Tang said, turning his head, his expression arrogant.

"Oh?" Duan Yu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile: "I have long heard that Elder Ren is learned and has always had the name of a famous scholar. Since that is the case, I would like to ask Elder Ren, what is the path of peace and happiness for the commoners and the benefit of the people that Elder Ren speaks of?"

Ren Tang's brows furrowed.

And the expressions on the faces of Gai Xun, Yang Fu, and others sitting below Duan Yu were all somewhat surprised.

Looking at Duan Yu, they all seemed very surprised.

Ren Tang is a pure stream famous scholar.

The most troublesome thing about this kind of pure stream famous scholar is that they often occupy the high ground of righteousness to lecture anyone.
