Chapter 1255 Let me finish the sentence 2

Butcher Wang took advantage of the situation and said: "Ye Yang's sword is not at full strength, and that woman is not an ordinary ghost. They are testing each other's bottom line. You should not worry about Ye Yang yet."

Ghosts not only kill people, they also lie to people.

When you feel that the ghost in front of you is pitiful, it may be the moment when she reveals her ferocious nature in front of you.

Ye Yang's fourth sword, fifth sword... one sword after another struck down

The body of the woman in red was split in half again and again, and returned to the same place again and again, begging Ye Yang over and over again to let her finish her words, but Ye Yang was indifferent and struck out the ninth sword.

Just like what Ye Yang said, that woman couldn't bear Ye Yang's tenth sword.

After her body gathered together for the ninth time, the woman's figure had become extremely weak, as if she might collapse at any time, but she still knelt on the ground and begged Ye Yang to let her finish her words.

When Ye Yang turned the hilt of the sword for the tenth time, Xia Mengying finally couldn't help it anymore: "Ye Yang, can you let her finish her sentence?"

Ye Yang slowly put away his sword and said: "You speak, I listen."

Ye Yang stopped taking action, but the woman was trembling all over and speechless.

The woman seemed unable to bear the severe pain caused by the Nine Swords. She curled up and lay on the ground, as if she was using this method to relieve the pain in her body, and as if she was gathering her last bit of strength to say what she wanted to say.

Say it.

Xia Mengying wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Butcher Wang: "Don't go over, she can't bear the yang energy in you now. If you go over, she will die faster."

After a while, the woman spoke weakly: "My name is Kong Li, and my husband Kong Qian is the bastard of the Kong family."

"Although my husband is well-read in poetry and books and is full of talents, he knows everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting to poetry and song. However, he has never been able to win the imperial examination. He has only been awarded the title of scholar throughout his life."

In ancient times, there was a saying: Thirty old people can learn the classics, and fifty young people can get Jinshi. This sentence explains how difficult the imperial examination is.

Moreover, there was a very strange phenomenon in the Qing Dynasty, that is, the more talented people were, the less likely they were to pass the exam, but the more rote people were, the more likely they were to pass the exam.

Pu Songling, Cao Xueqin, and Wu Jingzi in the Qing Dynasty were all talented and talented, but they all failed to win the imperial examination.

It's not that they don't have the talent, it's that they don't study hard.

The imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty only required the Four Books and Five Classics, and other poems, songs, and poems were regarded as trivial.

At that time, there was a joke that a few Jinshi were sitting together chatting. Someone mentioned Su Dongpo, and one of them asked: "In what year was Su Dongpo a Jinshi?"

This was a joke in the Qing Dynasty, but it was not a joke at the same time. At that time, scholars who did not know that Su Dongpo existed, because they did not need it in the exam! Just learn to write eight-legged essays, there is no need to know who is Su Dongpo and who is Li Bai.

The words of the woman in red at least revealed some of this information to Xia Mengying.

Although her husband Kong Qian was talented, he was neither the legitimate son of the family nor had he achieved fame, so his status was certainly not high.

In fact, because of his wide range of hobbies, he may be regarded as not doing his job properly by the Kong family. If you add a broad circle of friends to him, then Kong Qian will be a complete libertine in the eyes of those feudal parents.

However, this setting will definitely win Xia Mengying’s favor!

Kong Qian's character is very similar to the experiences of Cao Xueqin, Wu Jingzi and others.

They left behind masterpieces for future generations, but they also left behind difficult meanings.

Sure enough, the woman in red continued: "My husband became a lawyer on the recommendation of his friends because he has a wide circle of friends and is somewhat chivalrous and courageous."

A lawyer is also called a litigant. To put it bluntly, he is a person who specializes in litigating cases for others.

Lawyers must not only be familiar with the law, but also have certain connections. Otherwise, they will not win the case.

It is precisely because of the lawyers who can use incredible dexterity to win a lawsuit that they will be shamed by scholars.

The woman in red said: "My husband is different from other lawyers. He never does anything that violates laws and disciplines. If something happens, he will spend his own money to help the people, so he is very famous in this area."

"At that time, although our life was poor, my husband was very respected."

"Until one day, a ghost came to my husband late at night and begged him to help him redress his grievances."

"My husband learned that the family had been raped and then borrowed money. Not only did he come to ask for money, but the family was beaten to death. He was immediately filled with righteous indignation and wanted to write a petition to seek justice for the family.

"

The woman in red stopped here, and Butcher Wang also asked curiously: "What does it mean to kill a white duck?"

Xia Mengying explained in a low voice: "'Killing the white duck' does not refer to killing ducks, but refers to the wealthy and powerful landowners and gentry at that time. After someone in the family committed the serious crime of beheading, they spent a lot of money to buy a house from a poor family.

A living person will be beheaded in place of the truly guilty person."
