As the human race continued to improve, Min Pao had changed to a bi-daily publication. After Fang Yun returned to Saint Origin World, every issue of Min Pao contained negative news about the Kong Family.
However, before Qing Jun's death, the negative news about the Kong Family did not affect them at all. Some of it was even something that everyone knew. However, after Qing Jun's death, the negative news about the Kong Family increased.
Especially after Fang Yun was rumored to be blind, Min Pao began to report negative news about the Kong Family.
What the Kong Family could not accept the most was that everything was true, but the Kong Family and the Notre-Dame had deliberately covered it up.
Everyone carefully recalled the contents of Min Pao and discovered that a group of people called 'reporters' had appeared in Min Pao. It was these people who had interviewed the people involved in all the incidents and revealed the various problems of the Kong Family through the government or the Notre-Dame's files.
At the same time, Min Pao would occasionally expose the various crimes of the Zong Family, but no one paid too much attention to it.
In the article on the rankings, there was a detailed list of the negative news about the Kong Family in the last one thousand issues of Min Pao.
After the summary of the article, everyone was certain that before Fang Yun returned to Saint Origin World, Min Pao had only reported good news about the Kong Family and not bad news.
Since Fang Yun's return, Min Pao seemed to have eaten a bear's heart and leopard's guts. It began to report negative news about the Kong Family, and more and more of it.
The article concluded that someone was using Min Pao to slander the Kong Family. They must find the culprit, clear the Kong Family's name, and return a clear sky to the human race.
At the beginning, there were not many people who replied to the article. The reason was simple. Everyone who read the article was thinking.
There was not a single person in the entire human race who dared to use Min Pao to slander the Kong Family.
If they had to find one, it could only be Fang Yun.
Other than Fang Yun, no one could imagine who would dare to do such a thing!
Sealing Zong Sheng with a sword, killing Qing Jun with a saber, and pointing at the Kong Family with a pen. If these things were really done by Fang Yun, then it was understandable.
After a long time, the comments below the article began to explode.
Gyeongo and the scholars who were against taking the same exam for men and women were like sharks that had smelled blood. They gathered together and jumped up and down, mocking and sowing discord. Although they didn't mention Fang Yun and didn't curse, they used all kinds of methods to insinuate. It was like a group of demons dancing wildly, like a carnival.
Finally, I have something on Fang Yun!
This was what many people were thinking.
Most people were silent, not daring to jump to conclusions.
Some people hated those people who attacked Fang Yun and began to fight back. They believed that Min Pao had the right to publish any real news, even if it was negative news about Kong Sheng.
A small number of Jingguo scholars did not argue. They just kept replying to Min Pao's news. They used their own text to guarantee that everything in the news was true.
Not long after, a High Scholar named Zhang Xuan wrote a long reply that attracted a lot of discussion.
"My name is Zhang Xuan and I'm from Kong City. I'm not a genius, I'm just a High Scholar. I won't talk about Kong Sheng, the Kong family, or anyone else. I'll only talk about what happened to me. When I was still a student, I was chosen by the Wenhua Academy because of my fame in poetry. I passed the exam. You all know that the Wenhua Academy is one of the top ten academies in Kong City. After passing the exam, I received the admission letter from the Wenhua Academy. My family celebrated happily and the neighbors all came to congratulate me. But the day before I entered the academy, a Hanlin from the Wenhua Academy came to my house and said that the admission letter needed to be changed. He took away the original letter.
"The next day, the people from the Wenhua Academy told me that there was an accident during the admission process. My name was not on the list and they gave me 100 taels of silver as compensation. "At that time, my whole family felt as if the sky was falling down, so we went to investigate the situation. It was a kind-hearted neighbor who found out that a disciple of the Kong family branch moved in from outside and directly replaced my spot. He didn't need to take the exam and entered Wenhua Academy. I still remember that person's name. I still remember this incident. After so many years, I'm already over 50 years old. I don't blame that person or the Kong family. I only blame myself for not being open-minded.
"If I had been open-minded and worked hard, I would have been able to reach the Hanlin Academy. But I was just an ordinary person at that time. I didn't take it lying down. I took it to heart and in the end, I delayed the Divine Path. Finally, I reiterate that I, Zhang Xuan, swear on my head that everything I said is true. I don't want to find trouble with that scholar or attack the Kong family. I only want to say that at least in my opinion, the Min Bao has spoken my mind. I support the Min Bao! "
Zhang Xuan used the simplest words to write about his experience. Many people couldn't help but sigh after reading it.
The Kong Sheng family and the Zi Si family had tens of thousands of disciples. Including the other branches of the Kong family, the number was even more.
With such a large number, there was bound to be a mix of good and bad people. There were bound to be evil people from the Kong family.
However, the Kong family had indeed contributed greatly to the human race. Moreover, most of the disciples of the Kong family were very good scholars.
The average moral standards, average strength, average military achievements, and death rate of the disciples of the Kong family far exceeded that of ordinary scholars.
However, because the disciples of the Kong family had great power, once they made a mistake, their crimes were far worse than those of ordinary people.
The Min Bao reported many things about the Kong family. Among them, there were three people who had done extremely bad things.
The Kong family's High Scholar, Kong Zhi, was punished by the Kong family for his misconduct. After that, he gave up on himself and used his status as a member of the Kong family to seize the property of many people. He became the emperor of a county, and even the county magistrate had to curry favor with him.
Just by himself, he had directly or indirectly killed 23 people, defiled more than 30 innocent girls, and framed countless people.
Such a person who had done so many evil things was finally imprisoned by the Kong family and was still alive.
Before he was caught, Kong Zhi laughed and said that his life was worth it.
Kong Tianlin held a position in the Beitang Academy. He used his power to change the admission quota of the Beitang Academy, causing the Beitang Academy to be in a mess. In the past ten years, thousands of outstanding scholars lost the excellent education resources that should have belonged to them. In the end, they went to ordinary academies with mediocre achievements.
After the incident, Kong Tianlin, who had done so many evil things, only resigned from his position in the Beitang Academy. He did not receive any punishment and was still an elder of the Kong family.
Finally, there was Fourth Master Kong, who was seen as a scum by the scholars. Because of his repeated failures in the imperial examinations, he simply gave up on his studies and did anything for money. In the end, he even established a gang that acted like a tyrant in the cities near Kong City. He monopolized many industries in several cities, including funerals, river transportation, caravans, and so on. He caused many complaints.
If not for offending the more powerful Kong family, this Fourth Master Kong would never have been imprisoned.
