Faced with that disgusted face, Shen Nanzhi simply snorted coldly.
These people are just going with the flow. They haven't even figured out what's going on before spouting nonsense. It's utterly despicable.
Shen Nanzhi's cold snort was not quiet, and the old man who had just asked the question heard it clearly, so now the old man's face was also full of doubt.
"Hey buddy, what do you mean by this? Why are you snorting at me? If you know anything, you can tell me. If you don't want to, that's fine too. We're just here to have some fun."
It would have been better if the old man hadn't said those words; after he did, Shen Nanzhi's anger flared even more.
Shen Nan stepped forward to the table and looked coldly at everyone.
"Are you all just gloating after the Prime Minister got into trouble? What did the Prime Minister do wrong to deserve such cold treatment from you?"
Before he could finish speaking, the old man raised his voice and said...
"Young man, are you unaware of the current situation, or did you just come down from the mountain? The Prime Minister framed the Prince of Libei, leading to the execution of his entire family. Didn't you know?"
In everyone's eyes, Prime Minister Shen is now a rat that everyone wants to beat.
Those who couldn't see Prime Minister Shen were busy with their verbal sparring, while those who did see him probably only wanted to roll up their sleeves and beat him up to vent their anger.
Therefore, Shen Nanzhi's words just now undoubtedly provoked public anger.
In the blink of an eye, those who hadn't paid attention to Shen Nanzhi's side before started discussing it.
"How can you talk like that? Shen Chaoxian is a terrible villain, and yet some people are still speaking up for him. Aren't they afraid of being implicated?"
"This young man probably doesn't know that Shen Chaoxian is a shameless person who frames loyal officials. If he did know, he certainly wouldn't have spoken like this."
"Judging from what you're saying, it seems like he's acquainted with the Prime Minister, otherwise why would he be so protective of that Shen Chaoxian!"
"Speak up! Who are you and why are you speaking up for that thief!"
In an instant, the entire restaurant was in chaos, and everyone vented their anger on Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi, fearless, spoke up in front of everyone.
"You must know that even the current emperor has made wrong judgments. The case of the Prince of Libei is a prime example. I believe that the officials in the city and countryside have been wronged!"
"First of all, the Prime Minister has no grudge against the Prince of Libei, and there is absolutely no motive for him to frame the Prince of Libei. Secondly, everyone can think about how many good things the Prime Minister has done during his tenure."
"You've all forgotten how many poor students were saved by allowing all scholars across the country, regardless of their wealth or social status, to take the exams, and how many fertile fields were saved from flooding by building numerous canals?"
Shen Nanzhi spoke loudly, and every word he uttered struck the hearts of everyone like an alarm bell.
At first, everyone had expressions of resentment and indignation on their faces, but after hearing Shen Nanzhi's words, many people began to shut their mouths, and some even lowered their heads.
What Shen Nanzhi said is true; the Prime Minister has indeed done a lot of good things during his many years in office.
Even those unfamiliar with the Prime Minister's achievements understood that until the case of the Prince of Libei was thoroughly investigated, the Prime Minister was a hero in their hearts.
Many scholars regarded the Prime Minister as a role model; the Prime Minister at that time was truly highly respected for his virtue and character.
However, things always take a turn for the better.
