What is benevolence and what is propriety!
Chen Yu's words were so deafening that everyone pricked up their ears.
They all wanted to see how Chen Yu would defend himself.
The audience this time included not only the common people of Aowang City, but also the dignitaries of Aowang City!
In the restaurants, teahouses, clubs and other places around the central square, these dignitaries were all staring at Chen Yu.
Without exception, everyone had a disdainful smile on their face.
"Oh, what's the point of talking about benevolence and etiquette? How can a vulgar person like him spit out ivory from a dog's mouth?"
The powerful people held onto the railing and sneered.
"That's right! What did he do that had anything to do with those two words?"
"Killing an entire family is unkind, and swearing at people is disrespectful. I want to see how he can defend himself."
"This time, Chen Yu's reputation will be ruined in our Aozhou. Haha."
The powerful people were all waiting to see Chen Yu make a fool of himself.
Pan Tao leaned back in his chair and sipped his tea comfortably.
Haha, Chen Yu, how would you respond?
"Master Chen, please."
Zheng Kun smiled and gestured for invitation.
Chen Yu did not refuse. After looking at everyone present, he spoke loudly.
"Benevolence is the way of benevolence and righteousness. However, there is a distinction between true benevolence and false benevolence."
Is there a difference between true and false benevolence?
When everyone at the scene heard this, they were stunned.
Chen Yu continued, "A benevolent person loves others. A benevolent person is someone who is full of kindness and love. So who do they love?"
"It's the people of the world! It's all living beings!"
"Who did I kill? The corrupt officials and dignitaries who oppressed the people and made their lives miserable!"
"All the corrupt officials, bullies, and powerful people who harm the people should be killed!"
"Kill him, save the people, save the world, this is true benevolence!"
"Seeing these evil people exploiting the people, instead of getting rid of them, letting the people suffer, that's false benevolence!"
"None of the people I, Chen Yu, have killed are innocent, and none of them deserved death."
"Remember, a truly benevolent act is one that benefits the people of the world! What we must do is put the people first! This is benevolence!"
One sentence immediately made the scene noisy.
Killing oneself for a living?
This was the first time they had heard of it.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
If we don’t get rid of the bullies, how can we protect the people?
Many Confucian scholars were looking at Chen Yu with admiration at this moment.
"Master Chen is right."
"Hearing this today, I felt enlightened."
"As expected of Master Chen, he has such profound insights. I admire him!"
Liu Ran was lost in thought, muttering what Chen Yu had just said.
"Killing him, saving the people, saving the world, this is true benevolence! Putting the people first, this is a truly benevolent act!"
"Hiss, what a profound insight! No wonder, no wonder he was able to achieve such success!"
As she spoke, Liu Ran had already stood up, staring at Chen Yu with her beautiful eyes, her eyes full of autumn water.
How could there be such a strange man in the world?
Who else can have such profound thoughts as his?
Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Yu in surprise.
"Interesting. Unlike the corrupt scholars who are so bound by rules and regulations. But what they do makes the rules of Confucianism even stricter."
"Every sentence seems to be groundbreaking, but it actually puts the essence of Confucianism into practice. Very good!"
A hint of appreciation appeared in Song Yuan's eyes.
The powerful people around looked unhappy.
"Absurdity! This is absurdity! What's the difference between true benevolence and false benevolence? This is clearly sophistry!"
"That's it! You can kill us just for the people? That's ridiculous! What are the people? How can they compare to us?"
They cursed, but their voices clearly lacked confidence.
Especially when they saw the reactions of the people at the scene, they became even more frightened.
The majority of people who came to attend the lecture this time were ordinary people!
After hearing Chen Yu's words, they were extremely excited.
"Long live Lord Chen! Long live Lord Chen! That's right, this is true benevolence!"
"Wow, if only Master Chen had come earlier, wouldn't it have been great? My mother was beaten to death by the powerful, and I went to ask for an explanation, but the Ten Great Confucian Scholars said it was my fault."
"How can I, an ordinary person, compare to the powerful? For us, you can kill the powerful officials?"
"So, this is true benevolence? What the Ten Great Confucianists promoted before was all false benevolence?"
When people's wisdom rises, they can gather tremendous power.
And this is exactly what the corrupt officials and powerful people are afraid of seeing.
Because they discovered that when the people's wisdom was awakened, the terrifying anger was enough to overwhelm them!
Pan Tao's face changed.
He didn't expect that Chen Yu would say such a thing.
Zheng Kun's face was obviously flustered.
He never expected that Chen Yu would express such an opinion.
"What nonsense! It's absolutely nonsense! What you're talking about is just a bunch of sophistry!"
Chen Yu looked at the furious Zheng Kun and smiled coldly.
"Really? What if your mother was killed, your wife and daughter were slept with by someone, and that person also took your property? What would you do?"
"Then I will never let him go! I will make sure he is skinned alive and torn to pieces!"
Zheng Kun shouted subconsciously.
"Really? What if the person who did this was Xiao Pan?"
Chen Yu pointed at Pan Tao and spoke with a smile.
Pan Tao's face turned dark.
What the hell does it have to do with me?
Why use me as an example?
Do I need to do that? Zheng Kun's wife and daughter are so ugly, I have no interest in them at all!
Zheng Kun was stunned and subconsciously looked at Pan Tao, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
