Xingyuan County Government Office, front hall.

The suicide notes of the two hanging scholars were placed on the table.

The meanings of the two suicide notes are actually the same. The general meaning is that I started studying since I was eight years old and am now nearly forty years old. I thought that as long as I work hard, I would definitely be able to get a title on the list. However, the new policy of the court made their dreams empty, so they planned to show their ambitions by dying, and hoped that all scholars in Xingyuan County could oppose the new policy and compete for the scholars all over the world to have a way out.

After reading the suicide note, Zhao Yan sat there and slowly savored tea. Outside the county government, it was very noisy, and the scholars all hoped that Liu Shiqing would come forward to give an explanation.

A moment later, Liu Shiqing came back from prison.

"Sir Qi Bing, I have sent someone to beat Cui Lao San five times. He all said that he had nothing to do with the deaths of the two scholars. In my opinion, it might be okay. Before he could take action, he was caught by us!" Liu Shiqing said.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly. After seeing the suicide notes of the two hanged scholars, he was almost sure that they committed suicide because they were dissatisfied with the new policy.

The reason why Liu Shiqing was tortured Cui Laosan was to simply find an excuse to join Cui Laosan for a while. In response to this opportunity, Zhao Yan could drag Cui Laosan without letting him go, leaving Mo Sheng with nothing to say.

"Those two scholars have average literary talent. Even if there is no new policy, there is little chance of getting fame. If you don't have the strength, it's because of the new policy!" Liu Shiqing said with a lip.

In the past two days, under Zhao Yan's subtle guidance, Liu Shiqing has become a crazy supporter of the new policy.

At this moment, a yamen run over in panic and said, "Sir, it's not good, those scholars are about to break into the county government!"

Liu Shiqing frowned and looked at Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan said in a plain tone: "As the parent official of this county, if you do not have the ability to let these scholars retreat, it means you are not suitable to be an official!"

As soon as these words were finished, Liu Shiqing thrust his chest and immediately said, "Go out and take a look!"

...

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a very strange rule that has never been written on paper.

People and merchants who broke into the government can be considered rebellion.

Scholars, whether they break into the county government, write anti-poems, or even insult the current emperor, will basically be tolerated.

Because in the public's impression, scholars are people who are powerless and understand etiquette and law, and will not do anything randomly.

It is precisely because of this special treatment that scholars in the Great Zhou were quite lethal.

At this moment, more than 200 scholars surrounding the county government office have begun to climb over the wall.

As soon as Liu Shiqing walked to the gate, he saw a scholar sitting on the wall, intending to work with the scholar outside, but was stopped by the yamen runners under the wall.

"I once said: A gentleman seeks the way but not the food, and a gentleman worrys about the way but not the poverty. In my opinion, our county magistrate only cares about his black hat!" The scholar sat on the wall, shaking his head and whispered loudly.

In the past, Liu Shiqing was concerned about his head and bottom, fearing that his official position would be lost, so he always did things in a mixed manner. But now he has completely let himself go and he will do whatever he is happy.

He walked to the gate and said to the yamen runners beside him, "Open the door!"

Immediately, the yamen runners unloaded the door bolt and scholars outside rushed in instantly.

Liu Shiqing said loudly: "I am Liu Shiqing, the magistrate of Xingyuan County. If you break into our county government, what is the matter? If you can't explain it clearly, I will put you in prison!"

Liu Shiqing stared at her eyes and glared. After saying that, the noise around her slowly weakened.

The scholar at the front looked at Liu Shiqing and said, "Missar Liu, we came for the two scholars who committed suicide yesterday. We hope that you can travel to the world county on behalf of us and convey our voices. Your Majesty must abolish the order to reduce officials, otherwise how can we scholars survive!"

"Yes, we have studied hard for ten years of sage books to be officials for one day. Such a new policy completely forces us to die!"

"The yesterday of those two scholars may be our tomorrow. If the magistrate does not petition the court for us, we will not leave in the county government!"

...

These scholars were all angry and wanted to express only one thing: the new court policy cut off the retreat of most people as officials.

Liu Shiqing rolled up her sleeves, then pressed her hands down, signaling that the surroundings would be quiet.

After the scholars around him stopped talking, he slowly spoke: "Do you think it's noble to read a bunch of sage books? Someone just said that if you can't become an official, you just force him to die!"

"I will ask you here, you have good skills. If you know that you are not capable of getting a good fortune, why don't you choose other ways!"

Liu Shiqing pointed his hand and looked at the two scholars with a little gray beard and said, "You two are almost fifty years old. You are still just scholars. You have to rely on your parents to raise them for the first half of your life. You are not ashamed, but proud. You often talk big in street teahouses, and even borrow money to go to the tiles and tiles, and even call them experience life. I bah!"

"Many of you people live worse than those ordinary people. Have you paid taxes for the court like farmer and merchant? Have you shed blood and sweat for the court like soldiers? You have not made any contribution to the court. Instead, because of your lack of ability and failure to get fame, you are the real borer of the court. You are the real borer of the court!"

"If you have the ability, you will make contributions to the court first. If you have literary talent, write a policy that will convince everyone in the world and give it to the court, and let Your Majesty replace the current new policy. If you don't have such ability, get out of here, otherwise I will arrest one of you!" Liu Shiqing's face was deserted and had never been so serious.

The group of scholars is strong when they meet the weak, and when they meet the strong, they are weak when they hear these words. On the one hand, they are guilty, but on the other hand, they are indeed a little cowardly.

Liu Shiqing immediately said: "I believe that the two hanged scholars are not worthy of sympathy. They are not capable of venting their anger on the court. Such selfish people are not suitable for being officials. If you think you cannot be an official and you will commit suicide, you will never stop me!"

After saying that, Liu Shiqing left with a slightest sleeve.

At this time, he felt that his figure was particularly tall, full of justice, and had the potential to become a capable minister in governing the world.

Moreover, this feeling of being timid is really cool!

The scholars also left one after another. For the sake of the present, they either study hard or have to change their careers.
