Hearing this, Kong Yingda didn't speak yet, and his confidantes felt sorry for his master's wrongdoing.

Actively stood up and spoke. "I want to teach all the officials to know that after my master reacted at that time, he was so angry that he vomited blood and passed out."

"The villain immediately sent the master to the doctor for treatment. The doctor said that my master's condition is quite bad and he needs to rest."

"The villain sent the master back to the mansion without any chance to explain."

"...Okay, what's the point of explaining so much?" Kong Yingda slumped on the couch, with a disheartened expression on his face, he yelled.

Seeing his master's dying appearance, his confidants couldn't help stomping their feet and choking with sobs.

"But master, if you don't explain clearly, your name will be ruined after decades of innocence."

Seeing Kong Yingda's master and servant being so sincere, the group couldn't help but look at each other. Could it be that I and others really made a mistake?

At this time, Kong Yingda spoke slowly.

"The old man is more than seventy years old, already due to old age, his eyesight is dim, and his spirit is not good.

I am afraid that it will be difficult to concentrate on the tasks entrusted by the court, and I intend to return to my hometown to write books and study. "

"Now, because of the "Luoyang Xunbao" incident, people in the world have misunderstood it, and all the friends around me are cold-faced..."

Hearing Kong Yingda's panting voice, all the close friends who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at the moment.

But Kong Yingda didn't care whether the group of people sat down or had tea for the guests.

Instead, he directly told that after returning to the Imperial College today, he was about to take a break, and he had no idea what the article published in the "Luoyang Xun Bao" was about.

As a result, at this time, a group of colleagues from Zi Guo Zi Jian came to the door aggressively, asking him if he had published a signed article in that newspaper.

"If only the old man knew Cheng Sanlang was so despicable and shameless earlier, it would be great if someone tampered with the old man's article to look like that. It's a pity..."

"The old man didn't know anything at the time, so he admitted that there was indeed such a thing. It wasn't until after they left that I saw the contents of the "Luoyang Xun Bao"."

"That being the case, why didn't Kong Lao summon all his colleagues to come over and explain clearly in person?"

Hearing this, Kong Yingda smiled bitterly. "Preconceived, even if the old man explains now, what good is it?"

"You have all come to this old man to inquire about the crime, and then the old man came forward to explain, you think, even if those people listen to my explanation, what will they think?"

"..." A group of people were all dumbfounded and speechless.

#####

We are all smart people, so we can naturally infer it. No matter how much we explain now, the effect will not be great.

The important thing is that the "Luoyang Xunbao" is spread all over Luoyang and surrounding areas, and it may even be sold in Guanzhong.

Under such circumstances, three people become tigers, not to mention the sales volume of "Luoyang Xunbao", even if it is compared with "Chang'an Xunbao".

There is also a posture of 100,000 or 200,000 copies. How do you explain yourself and others in the face of those 100,000 to 200,000 readings?

"Cheng Sanlang, that despicable and shameless bastard, Xiao and he are inseparable!"

The short-tempered Xiao Sheren once again roared angrily.

The rest of the people are not much better, and the expressions of one or two are extremely ugly.

At this moment, everyone is regretting, regretting why they and others chose to provoke Cheng's family in front of the emperor in that Xiyuan.

Now it's all right, I was tricked by Cheng Sanlang, that wicked **** kid.

From now on, the reputation of myself and others in the civil service circle will also become hated by people.

"This old man really wants to kill that dog to get rid of the hatred in his heart." A minister was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were split, his face was purple and black.

Hearing these people's crazy complaints, Kong Yingda, who was lying on the couch, slowly sat up.

"Everyone, the old man is here, and I want to advise you..."

"Cheng Sanlang is His Majesty's favorite minister and the husband-in-law of His Royal Highness Princess Jinyang. If you want to touch him, hehe..."

Hearing this, Xu Shilang, who was gnashing his teeth, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Could it be that we can only suffer such humiliation for life, Xu is not reconciled."

Seeing the furious and helpless faces of these close friends, Kong Yingda smiled sullenly.

"Everyone, although Cheng Sanlang is the mastermind, you should also know that if he didn't have an assistant who is talented in literature, how could he forge these articles?"

"Mr. Kong, what do you mean, the old man with a disability, and that layman who lacks land?"

Kong Yingda lay down on the couch again with a face full of panic and haggardness, raised her hand limply and said.

"The old man is old and weak, and he is already preparing to submit a letter to His Majesty to take office. These things can't be controlled..."

"Everyone, the old man is tired, please help yourself."

The confidant hurriedly covered Kong Yingda with a thin quilt, walked up to Xu Shilang and the others and saluted, signaling to see off the guests.

Xu Shilang looked at the pale face, lying on the couch, with snow-white beard and hair, which looked like the white snow outside the house.

He couldn't help but saluted Kong Yingda with some regret. "Elder Kong, take care, he is recovering from his illness, I will leave later..."

#####

A group of people walked into the room, and then glanced back at Kong Yingda who was lying on the couch without any movement.

Xiao Sheren stroked his long gray beard, his face was filled with emotion, he never imagined that he would be like Kong Yingda, when he reached the twilight years of his life, his feet slipped and his reputation was ruined...

Xiao Sheren was grinding his teeth, wishing he could use a horizontal knife to break into Lu Guogong's mansion, kill a river of blood, and then wipe his neck to enjoy it.

It's a pity, with my old arms and legs, and carrying a knife, I still have to say whether I can pinch those fat and strong servants guarding the gate of Duke Lu's mansion.

While thinking about it, he saw Xu Shilang walking slowly beside him, frowning deeply, stroking his long beard thoughtfully, and couldn't help asking.

"Xu Shilang~lightnovelpub.net~The disabled old man that day, and the layman there, do you have any clues?"

Hearing this question, a group of friends all stopped and looked at Xu Shilang, who was the most senior official present and very clever.

Xu Shilang met the expectant gazes of these friends, pursed his lips, and then thought about it.

"Xu has already made some guesses. Think about it, do these two pseudonyms look like aliases for literati?"

"The pseudonyms used by the previous Cheng Sanlang and His Highness the King of Wu, we also guessed that Shandong Song Yu may be Cheng Sanlang who was born in Shandong Dong'e."

"As for Chang'an Pan'an, it must be what His Royal Highness Wu Wang said."

"What Xu Shilang means is that these two aliases are likely to belong to the two disabled people who are currently in the Luoyang government office?"

"Xu speculates that it is probably them."

"..."
