A hint of disdain appeared at the corner of Fang Zheng's mouth.
The so-called suspected fraud means that you are suspected as long as you go to the toilet!
The papers involved in the case were naturally discarded and not read.
Killing someone requires evidence, but this is the fairest place in the world where you can destroy a person without even needing evidence!
Just based on this point, many people's decades or even tens of years of hard study have been ruined. These people really dare to speak out.
"Don't worry, everyone. It's better to listen to what I say before making a decision." Fang Zheng glanced at the examiners, and the discussions quickly disappeared wherever his eyes went.
Many examiners felt scared when they saw him and did not dare to ask more questions.
This guy is a gangster, he doesn't play by the rules! He wants to beat up a skinny old man like Zhang Gong... What if he picks me?
It would be shameful to fight him, and it would be shameful not to fight him. Besides, Fang Zhengyi is young and strong, so he probably can't win...
"Please tell me, what is the most important thing in the examination hall?" Fang Zhengyi asked loudly.
No one responded...everyone just looked at him silently.
Fang Zheng pointed his hand at the crowd and said, "You say!"
In the crowd, Cen Wensier looked at Fang Zhengyi and pointed at himself in confusion.
"Yes, you! Tell me loudly what is the most important thing in the exam room!"
Having seen Fang Zhengyi's style of doing things, Cen Wense regretted talking to him, but since he was assigned to answer, he couldn't refuse, so he could only answer loudly: "Of course it's fair."
"That's right! When it comes to exams, nothing is more important than fairness! Even if the court cannot achieve absolute fairness, it must try to reduce the external differences between candidates!"
"Those with a rich family can bring food such as dried meat and eggs into the examination room, which can keep them full for a long time without taking up space in their stomachs."
"Those from poor families can only eat rice and flour. They will be extremely hungry within three hours, which will affect their exams. Moreover, the amount they eat is much more than meat. The more they eat, the more they will excrete. In this case, can the imperial examination be considered fair?" Fang Zheng said.
As soon as these words came out, an examiner sneered, "Master Fang, before the door was closed, I heard outside that reporters from your Mid-Levels newspaper were also here to take the exam, and you even prepared abalone for them!"
"This is the first time I've heard of eating abalone during an exam! It's a bit ridiculous to hear the word fairness coming from your mouth!"
The examiners started discussing again, mainly teasing Fang Zhengyi.
"You still bring abalone to the exam? Why not bring a cook?"
"I saw it. There was indeed a candidate eating abalone noodle soup in the examination room. Haha, I thought it was the son of some lord in the court, but I didn't expect it was Lord Fang's man."
"Master Fang! You are really lenient with yourself and strict with others. I admire you!"
Fang Zhengyi said calmly, "How is this ridiculous? I did my best to help them prepare within the rules. What's wrong with that?"
"Fairness does not mean weakening legitimate advantages, but helping those with inherent disadvantages."
"Does it mean that if there is a lame candidate in the Imperial Examination Hall, the legs of the other candidates will be broken?"
The examiners remained silent and seemed indifferent.
What you said makes sense, but so what? Every class has gone through this, why do you have to deal with so many things when you are the invigilator?
Fang Zhengyi also began to feel helpless.
It seems that reasoning is useless. Many people have rigid thinking and simply cannot listen to reason. The only thing we can do is change our way of thinking!
Fang Zheng racked his brains at first, but luckily he had read a lot of chicken soup for the soul, so he quickly came up with an answer.
After quickly calming down his emotions, Fang Zhengyi's voice began to become deeper.
"Let me tell you a story that happened to me."
When hearing about storytelling, many people become interested. After all, people of all ages like to listen to stories.
"I have a friend."
"My surname is Ke and my name is Kobe. I was born in a remote mountain village thousands of miles away from the capital, called Luoshanji Village."
"Because his family lived in extreme poverty, Kobe never had the opportunity to go to school. His family of five lived on just ten acres of land."
"But by chance he met a teacher. From that day on, it was the first time someone explained the sage books to him. Kobe fell in love with reading! From then on, he made up his mind to change his destiny through reading!"
"Have you ever seen the sun set at the hour of Yin? Kobe has! Every day at the hour of Yin, he would walk dozens of miles to the nearest county to study. He only had one meal a day. He could not afford the tuition so he could only hide outside to study. He could not afford to buy a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone so he used sticks and sand to practice writing."
"When I was so absorbed in studying at night, I would not return home at night, and would drill a hole in the wall to steal light..."
"After ten years of hard work, I finally passed the examination and became a student."
Fang Zhengyi's storytelling skills are already excellent, and he tells the story sentence by sentence.
Many people were fascinated by what they heard. This kind of story about hard study is obviously the most popular in this era!
Many people actually wanted to make friends with Kobe.
Fang Zheng also looked disappointed when he talked about this.
If I can travel through time after I die, Kobe should be playing basketball in another world...
"Although he passed the examination to become a student, Kobe's family conditions did not improve. Fortunately, he was noticed by a local scholar and was taken as his disciple."
"All the students in his dormitory were dressed in fancy clothes, but Kobe was still wearing patched old clothes."
"My roommates had plenty of food, but what about Kobe? He had to cook a pot of thick porridge, cut it into four portions after it cooled, and eat wild vegetable soup with the porridge every day to fill his stomach!"
"It was under such conditions that Kobe got the chance to take the provincial examination! He brought the hope of the whole village, as well as 76 eggs and five taels of silver donated by the villagers, and traveled thousands of miles to the capital! When he arrived in the capital, he had almost used up all his money and only had dry food in his hands."
