Chapter 52 Finally got hold of the Kong family
"Competition complaint wall? When was this posted here? It wasn't there this morning."
"Hey, hey, hey? Look at this below, there are options of true and false. There is a "positive" after true and a "one" after false. Are they asking us to choose after watching it?" The person who said this obviously had not read the content on the complaint wall.
Someone took a closer look and immediately screamed, "Oh my God, is this fake? This kind of person can't be real!"
【Complaint Wall (Anonymous Complaint Version)
Hello everyone, I'm just an ordinary participant in this competition. I'm not very well-educated, but I'm here to experience the current literary atmosphere.
Many people were very satisfied with this sentence. Such low-key people are worthy of appearing in this place. Their excellence requires someone who is willing to be a supporting role to highlight them!
But when I came here this morning, I found my ex here too.
Ex? Relationship? No, are there many girls in this category?
Some people started to reminisce. It seemed that although there were girls who came, there were not many of them. They all looked very well-behaved, like quiet and gentle girls. Would they also come to post this kind of thing?
Although it was the first time seeing it, some people immediately classified it as a bad type, and even sneered when they guessed it was a woman.
"I'm saying, everyone comes here to get ahead, but this guy is probably here to hook a rich husband, right? So good..."
Before he could finish his words, someone else interrupted him.
"A rich son-in-law? Tsk tsk, your words are so shocking. I looked at you carefully, and these three words don't make sense. If you are really chosen to be the son-in-law, can you afford the rich son-in-law?" The speaker was one of the few women present at the meeting.
She knew she would be scrutinized the moment she opened her mouth, but she remained calm. Facing everyone's gaze, she simply raised her chin again and said, "What? Was I wrong? I didn't see any outstanding poems come out this morning?"
The term "golden turtle son-in-law" originated in the Tang Dynasty. Empress Wu Zetian replaced the fish talisman with a tortoise talisman, which could only be worn by those of the third rank or higher, or by princes. The fact that these people could come to Bianjing meant that they, at least for now, held no official positions—after all, two of those who held official positions had already been captured before the competition began. If the rest still held official positions, they probably wouldn't last long.
And the latter she said...
The most eye-catching people in a literary gathering are the top three, and the girl in front of him with a delicate appearance and arrogant temperament is the first one.
"You..." The person who was being scolded wanted to scold back but was stopped.
"Just keep your mouth shut! This complaint wall isn't scolding you!" The person holding him back was his friend. At first, when he was talking at length, his friend hadn't thought much of it. He'd just let it go. Now that he's hit such a wall, it's really...
There were more men than women here, and the fact that this young lady was able to defeat everyone else and win the first place shows how impressive her literary talent is!
They are mediocre to begin with, and it's already good enough for them to be in the middle among so many people. Why should they compete with those at the top?
Friends are much more down-to-earth and know their own limitations.
He managed to stop it, and everyone tacitly pretended that this episode had never happened, and someone continued reading.
[My ex-boyfriend was attracted by my family's money. I was confused at the time and thought he found that we were compatible and wanted to be soul mates. After we broke up, I found out that he just wanted to be a rich man's plaything.
My family stopped me from dating him by cutting off my money, and he even broke up with me before the next day.
"Hiss... What a shameless man." Someone was so angry that he started cursing on the spot, "If this man is among us, then listen carefully, I'm scolding you. You have hands and feet, but you don't make your own money and spend it yourself, but spend other people's money. Shameless!"
"Hey? Just say it, why are you looking at me? I also think this man is shameless!" The person who spoke first got glanced at by this person and got angry. He was pulled by his friend and finally joined in the man's words and cursed him. This saved himself and prevented him from starting another dispute on the spot.
[Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I am a man and he is also a man. I am the only son in my family. My family was so angry that they cut off my money because he cheated on me. After I broke up with him, my family now doesn't allow me to date other men. I have been heartbroken by men.
I hope my brothers and sisters will keep their eyes open. If someone comes up to you and starts praising you, and then tells you in a few words that his family has fallen on hard times and asks you to support him in making a comeback, you must not give him money!
Don't worry, this trash will leave you if he can't make any money from you in one day!
Finally, don't believe any man's lies about you "helping him make a comeback"! They're all lies! They're also a scam!
What?
Is he a man?
Someone put themselves in the girl's shoes and watched for a long time, and when they heard it was a boy, their jaw dropped.
"I guess... no one would fall for it, right?" The foul-mouthed man's worldview was shattered by these few words. "How could such words fool a man? Who is so brainless?"
"Cough cough..." After coughing twice, he immediately added.
"I didn't mean to say that you girls are brainless, it's just... Oh, well, anyway, I won't be fooled, and I don't love men, I only love women." He wanted to say that those who were fooled were brainless, but what if there was someone who was fooled here again, wouldn't he offend another person?
It was also a rare moment of wit that saved him.
Some people actually watched it to the end and reflected on it, and were surprised to discover this fact.
"I actually met someone. I treated him to lunch today. He said his family had fallen on hard times and was short of money. He also said we were from the same place and asked if he could treat me to a meal in the future?"
The person who spoke was a weak-looking man. Next to him stood a man who was much more powerful than him. He was shocked when he heard what he said.
"You're not having lunch with me, your biological brother, but with a stranger. Or are you treating them? Are you crazy?"
This guy became even more irritable when he spoke, making the boy in front of him look even more vulnerable.
"Maybe this is who this person targets: men who are rich but usually serve as escorts. These kinds of men are more likely to lack love and are more lenient." This was her first analysis, but she put herself in the shoes of the person who spoke. "But that's not right. This victim is an only son in his family, and his family is wealthy. Would he also lack love in this situation?"
"Maybe..." someone said weakly, "I'm the only son in my family, but you...but in this competition, I didn't stand out at all this morning. I'm not as talented as you, and I'm not good-looking either. If I met someone... maybe I would think..."
"Do you think the bright moon is high in the sky, shining only on you?" The First smiled. "We girls stopped believing in this kind of deception as early as the Tang Dynasty."
When she said the second half of the sentence, she was not looking at the weak man, but the one who was foul-mouthed at the beginning.
The foul-mouthed man tried hard to swallow his anger, but in front of the bad man who cheated people for money and sex, he felt that he still had to say a few words, at least to clarify that not all men were like that.
"This kind of trash is still a minority. No, it says here that you can choose between true and false. I think it's fake. It must be a story. Is there really such a man who is incompetent and still cheats people out of money? Since he came to our competition, he should at least be capable? With a family?"
Although he said this, he did not go forward to pick up the charcoal to make a choice, but just analyzed it.
While he was analyzing, four or five people had already stepped forward and made their choices, all of them betting on the real thing.
"I think it's the guy I met. He was dressed very simply today. His clothes were fine but without any expensive decorations." The weak man thought for a moment. "I think he's the one you're talking about. If it's not him, it's hard to imagine there are other people who would shamelessly spend other people's money."
"He's definitely a liar. Point him out this afternoon and I'll give you a beating to calm you down." His more powerful brother also chose "true." After calming his brother down, he added, "If anyone else encounters him, tell me. He's right here in this place. There aren't many who can beat me better than I can."
The first chuckled, "Thank you very much."
This kind of episode happened several times, and as one group of people left, another group would take over.
"There are really too many choices." Song Shiyi, who was watching all this silently from above, said to Su Jinghe.
"You still have a way. Just use the scammer's first story. If there are no new stories next, this one must be true!"
Su Jinghe didn't react to the compliment. Song Shiyi pondered, "This isn't like him. Shouldn't he just stick his tail up and say, 'It has to be me'?"
Song Shiyi waited for three seconds and wanted to get closer to see what was wrong with Su Jinghe, but Su Jinghe suddenly moved.
"Oops, I forgot to check on that liar! Was he brought in by someone? If he's not qualified to participate in our competition, we can just kick him out!"
After Su Jinghe said this, he looked at his heart again. The next second, Song Shiyi heard his surprised voice again.
[Damn it, he's truly unqualified, having ridden someone else's carriage to get in! Shameful! This liar pretended his own carriage broke down halfway through, and still managed to trick kind-hearted people... I'm convinced, I'm convinced. As long as you're shameless, this world is incredibly tolerant!]
After Su Jinghe confirmed it, he looked at Song Shiyi and said, "Should we arrest him and report him to the police? He's such an unstable element."
"Tell Xuanjiansi, they can find out." Song Shiyi said this, which actually meant to directly notify Xuanjiansi to take the person away.
Check? The person in front of him was the soul of the Xuanjiansi News Network. There was no need to check what he had verified.
On the afternoon of the day of the evaluation, Xuan Jiansi came in and took the scumbag away.
The reason is even more reasonable...
This scumbag, in order to save face, even used a fake identity. Xuan Jiansi looked at the ID he submitted when entering the city and wanted to verify it, but found that it didn't match, so he arrested him directly.
Xuanjiansi's entry gave a wrong signal to many people who had seen the "complaint wall".
"It turns out that Xuanjiansi also takes care of emotional issues!"
"Do they care whether it's true or false? Will it be discovered if the report is false?" Some people even had evil thoughts.
"Don't mess around!"
Many people tried to stop me at that time, but actually...
Why are so many people contributing?
Song Shiyi felt like he was dreaming back to the time when he was making the Three Kingdoms Kill card game!
Back then, it was like now, with so many weird things to see every day!!!
"Let's find someone to take a look...such as Xuanjiansi..." Su Jinghe was breathing hard in the pile of papers. He felt like he was having trouble breathing.
"Do you really want to come and see it yourself? I feel like I'm dizzy."
If possible, if Xuanjiansi investigated as quickly as Su Jinghe, he would definitely let Su Jinghe have a rest instead of staying here with Su Jinghe himself.
Well... his role here is that after Su Jinghe finishes reading a copy, he will simply write it down, tidy it up, and wait for someone to copy it again before posting it below.
As for how big his role is here... Song Shiyi feels that Su Jinghe can handle it alone without him, but if he stays, Su Jinghe may continue to watch. Once he leaves, Su Jinghe will definitely stop watching!
This person is truly insane. He can't stand being number one, so he fabricates a romantic scandal about himself and number one. Does he really think the Xuanjian Division will arrest people with immoral relationships? If they can, many people in the imperial court will never see the light of day again...
There were many people in the court who had chaotic private lives. Su Jinghe didn't dare to look at them for too long, for fear that he would be disgusted and get stye because of reading about his colleagues' scandals.
Well, this is fake, no need to copy it.
Song Shiyi had just written this on the manuscript when he heard Su Jinghe say it again.
[Although he himself submitted a fake manuscript to someone else, this was indeed something he had done himself. He deceived someone's feelings and stole their identity. It shouldn't have been his, but he drugged them in advance and stole their first place in the county.]
What's so good about this identity?
Song Shiyi curled his lips slightly. He was also the one who hung out with the third-place scholar Su Jinghe and the first-place scholar Wang Anshi every day. He used to be a "genius" in Bianjing and was also number one. Who would have thought...
With so many first place winners in the imperial examination, there must be one real one and a group of fake ones. He was just crushed, tsk.
My god, he's so bold! He accidentally killed his classmate, confidante, and lover, then claimed she fell into a well while drunk... Hmm... She was so stinky she started calling for help, and even bribed the county magistrate... Hey, can he really be caught?
That's for sure. Song Shiyi secretly wrote this incident on the document, marked it, and handed it over to Xuanjiansi. Although Su Jinghe didn't mention the name, mentioning the location was enough!
He quickly handed another copy to Su Jinghe. Su Jinghe was overwhelmed by the urgent work and for a while he entered the "review assembly line" again.
The two of them worked together very well, and it only took half a day. The next day, new gossip and a message appeared on the campus complaint wall.
"Someone submitted false news, fabricating scandals between themselves and others in an attempt to get them arrested. Let us clarify that the Xuanjian Division arrested someone because they had committed a crime, not because of a moral issue."
Some people were relieved to hear this, while others were shocked by the next piece of news.
"Contributor xx fabricated false information, and it was discovered that he had committed murder and bribery. For legal reasons, he has been transferred to the Xuanjian Division."
This news, this news...
"Is it true that as long as someone submits a manuscript, not only will someone check whether the manuscript is true or false, but also whether the submitter is a good person or a bad person?"
The person who spoke took a deep breath.
His fear was too obvious, and when people looked at his reaction, they felt something was wrong.
"You didn't kill someone, bribed someone to appease your murder, and now you're writing an article to fabricate rumors about others. Is that why you're so scared?"
After this series of actions, the others were forced to take a few steps back, leaving a cleared circle.
"How is that possible!"
This guy really didn't have much of a problem. "I'm not saying it's a pity or a shame to be caught. I'm wondering how the person behind this could have found out so much information so quickly since we're anonymous."
"Are you stupid? This is officially run by the Song Dynasty, okay? You're in Bianjing, not your own county. As for who's going to confirm the authenticity of this news, it must be the Xuanjian Division... Haven't you heard of the Xuanjian Division's reputation?"
Another person said that he was very contemptuous of the man before, thinking that he was stupid and dumb, and had a strong "countryside" flavor. When he talked about Xuanjiansi, he didn't care about chatting with this countryman at all, and even showed a look of fear while speaking.
Your Majesty, you have great power!
Those who had the same idea as him became frightened at the same time.
But soon everyone comforted each other.
"Our Majesty is not a bad person."
Fortunately, these words were heard by Su Jinghe who walked behind them and wanted to listen to what they were saying. He quickly took a few quick steps away from this place of trouble before complaining to Song Shiyi.
"Your Majesty, that's definitely not a bad idea... Tsk, we..."
He stopped talking halfway through, and Song Shiyi thought he had finally realized that His Majesty was not an ordinary person and could not be so casual. But...
"Our Majesty is Emperor Renzong. Some people have created an image where even his enemies weep for him upon his death, and some believe it. Tsk, if I were the Liao Emperor, I'd only set off firecrackers to celebrate the death of the Song Emperor."
It turns out that you said it in your heart. You might as well say it to me directly. Xuanjiansi and the others may not hear it.
Song Shiyi's face was a little stiff, and he didn't know how to react. If he had a choice, he might want to turn back time to the time when Su Jinghe asked him if he wanted to have dinner together.
He had to bravely say "no" and reject Su Jinghe's invitation, so that he would not be misunderstood as perhaps agreeing with Su Jinghe's outrageous ideas!
Oh, no, no one would call Su Jinghe "treasonous", but he might be accused of so.
Thinking of this, Song Shiyi felt that his heart could not be more dead.
After these changes to the complaint wall, there are no more people randomly posting false information, and the number of people submitting articles has also decreased a lot.
"Maybe he is really worried that he will post false information and get himself sent away." Song Shiyi felt relieved. He even had time to chat with Su Jinghe.
Su Jinghe looked at the submissions and said, "Now it's real, everyone's submitting real stories. If we can keep this up, maybe we can expand this complaint wall. We just need to spread rumors in advance, saying that the people who submit messages will also be reverse-checked. Then anonymous complaints can be opened in other places."
"What do we need this for? Isn't the original intention of establishing this to prevent fewer people from being cheated?" Song Shiyi pondered, feeling that it could not be used anywhere else?
"Use it in school? Our kindergarten might not be able to use it, but the Imperial College might be able to use it. But they should be more inclined to do their own things. If they encounter problems, they will come to themselves and just pick up their fists and fight with others, right?"
When Song Shiyi said this, it meant that he really had the experience of doing so.
"Of course it can be used in school. It's not just for complaints, it can also be used for lost and found, or to find someone you want to meet." Su Jinghe was a college student before coming to Dasong, and he was very familiar with the operation of the campus wall.
"But it's not just for that. Wouldn't it be great for office use as well? The current "Dangwengu" system... well, if we add an opportunity for anonymous complaints, it would give citizens more ways to resolve their problems."
[Ah, Zhenzong really did nothing as an emperor. He tried every possible way to leave his name in history. The Dengwen Drum was used during the reign of Emperor Taizu of Song to help others find pigs. Although we don't know whether this news is true or not, it shouldn't be too fake. It was all something that the Song Dynasty came up with. Emperor Taizu of Song didn't mind any trivial matters such as overstepping his authority. Emperor Zhenzong of Song, who made the Treaty of Chanyuan, gave money to others for free every year, and still thought he was a good emperor, climbed Mount Tai, and performed the Fengshan Ceremony on Mount Tai, which directly destroyed the reputation of Mount Tai, messed up the Dengwen Drum again.
How could it be that he couldn't accomplish anything, and yet each of these things were so important, yet he messed up and still became famous in history? He's a perfect example of Liu Chan's negative side, and he's truly hopeless.
Song Shiyi never expected that before he could say a word, he heard Su Jinghe say so many things about Song Zhenzong, and he was still dissatisfied.
You can talk about him, but you can’t talk about me, okay?
Song Renzong said the same thing to him, but he didn't even dare to speak directly.
Song Renzong and Han Qi said, "It took about three minutes to pause."
"Let's go back. Let's go back."
This sounded really unhappy, so Song Renzong decided not to make things difficult for himself and not to seek abuse.
Su Jinghe wouldn't scold him out loud, but he scolded him too harshly in his heart.
Judging from what he said today, it is possible that Su Jinghe's ability to curse has reached a new level. Song Renzong does not want to go in and experience it.
The next day, Song Renzong regretted not going in.
"This anonymous complaint method is interesting." Han Qi looked at the memorial submitted by Song Shiyi and knew at a glance that it was Su Jinghe's method. Of course, this matter was also explained in the memorial.
"If the people can have access to channels for anonymous complaints, it should also make the administration of the Song Dynasty clean and honest." Fan Zhongyan looked at it and was already thinking about how to make it happen.
Su Jinghe actually had difficulty with this.
There is no comparison between the Song Dynasty and the modern times. If you want to talk about how to make anonymous complaints in the future, you can just call or submit it on the website. It may not be so anonymous, but at least people will know about it.
Now……
Su Jinghe even had a hallucination of a short video he had seen before.
The children worked hard to put their anonymous complaint letters into the complaint box, and then the complaint box was shredded on the spot, "solving the problem" on the spot.
The Song Dynasty did not have a shredder, but it was easier for the Song Dynasty to block the news than to have a shredder.
"Why not make it entertaining first? By the time some people find out that this thing is useful, it will be too late." Han Qi felt that the "complaint wall" created by Su Jinghe was very useful.
The court came up with one solution after another to address this issue, and everyone was thinking seriously about how to implement it, wanting to make the Song Dynasty a better place.
And Su Jinghe finally found the trouble with the Kong family.
"We did get hold of something!" Su Jinghe corrected Song Shiyi's statement.
