Everyone looked at Tang Hao with schadenfreude, thinking that if Tang Hao didn't salute Du Ning, everyone would secretly accuse him of being an uneducated person.
Not having a tutor is simply a stigma for a powerful person.
Behind the screen, Governor Tang He almost wanted to spurt out his own blood.
What a shame! What a shame!
My son was scolded in court for not having a tutor.
Disgraceful to the family!
Tang Hao was angry in his heart, but he had nothing to do, and he didn't want to bring shame on his father, so he could only bow to Du Ning in a polite manner: "I, Tang Hao, have met the Viscount."
"That's pretty much it."
Du Ning nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
Many people were talking quietly outside and pointing at Tang Hao, which made Tang Hao feel very embarrassed.
"Du Ning, you are so presumptuous!"
Tang Hedu's teeth chattered, and he really wanted to kill Du Ning.
This is simply a shame!
"Calm down! I want to calm down!"
Tang Hedu took a deep breath.
"Pa!"
Wang Yang slapped the wall hard and said to Tang Hao: "Let's get back to the topic, Mr. Tang, Du Ning accuses you of beating up people outside Nanping City yesterday, and also injured Zhang Yuan, a student of Hanyi Club, in a private fight. Is this possible?
?"
"It took me a long time, but it turned out it was just for such a small thing."
Tang Hao held his head high and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I did beat two untouchables, and there was also a man named Zhang Yuan."
"What did you say! Who did you call a pariah!"
"Tang Hao, this is a court, how can you humiliate the people like this!"
"You are too presumptuous!"
The people were furious. If Tang Hao called them untouchables in private, they could pretend they didn't hear it.
But this is a court, and it is taboo for Tang Hao to call people "untouchables".
"As expected of Mr. Tang, he dares to act and recognize himself." Du Ning said with cold eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense, please make a price." Tang Hao said impatiently.
"A price? What price?" Du Ning's face changed slightly.
"Stop pretending, don't you just want some money by taking me to court?"
Tang Hao took out a money bag from his arms, threw it on the ground and said: "There are one hundred taels of silver in it, take it! Those untouchables have worked hard for three to five years, and they may not be able to save one hundred taels.
Take the silver and divide it equally!"
This move made everyone present furious.
"Tang Hao, what's your attitude! Do you think we are here to get your dirty money!"
"Are you trying to humiliate us like you who only care about money but not people? Bah!"
"You really don't have a tutor! Your father, the governor of Hedao Mansion, taught a beast!"
The people shouted insults.
Tang Hao's face was furious, his eyes swept over these people, and remembered their appearance.
"Damn it! These untouchables dare to slander me like this in court!"
Tang Hedu clenched his fists and was actually scolded for turning into a beast. This was the biggest humiliation he had ever suffered in his life.
"Quiet!"
Wang Yang shouted angrily: "Whoever dares to roar in court again should not blame me for being rude!"
The people became quiet, and many people showed satisfaction, indicating that they had enjoyed the scolding just now.
"Master Du, since Tang Hao is willing to compensate, let's just let this matter go. What do you think?"
Wang Yang asked Du Ning. At the same time, this was also a test for Du Ning to see if Du Ning had any other tricks behind him.
Du Ning picked up the money bag and weighed it: "Oh, it's quite heavy. One hundred taels of broken silver is not a small amount."
Tang Hao was even more proud and showed a contemptuous smile towards Du Ning.
"Who cares about your dirty money!"
Du Ning looked angry and threw the money bag towards Tang Hao.
Tang Hao subconsciously blocked it with his hands, and heard a "pop" sound as the money bag fell apart, and the broken silver and copper coins in it were scattered all over the floor.
Everyone looked at Du Ning. They knew that Du Ning was angry, but they didn't expect that Du Ning was so impulsive.
"That's enough! This is my court, and you won't be tolerated doing whatever you want!" Wang Yang said angrily.
"Du Ning! You are so presumptuous!"
Tang Hao yelled, but Du Ning actually hit him with a money bag. This was simply not taking him seriously.
"You are the one who is presumptuous!"
Du Ning pointed at the bridge of Tang Hao's nose and said, "Master Tang, you are so generous! You will be compensated one hundred taels of silver every time you make a move!"
"How much is your father's monthly salary for a sixth-grade river governor? At most, it's only more than a hundred taels of silver. Your family doesn't do business or other businesses. How can you squander so much money!"
"It can be seen that your Hedao Mansion has been greedy for the imperial court's money, so you, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty, can spend money like water!"
"Do you dare to say that your Hedao Mansion is clean?"
"Shit!"
Du Ning scolded Tang Hao, making everyone suddenly realize.
If it were some gentry and young masters, no one would doubt it if they made a hundred taels of silver.
But all the money Tang Hao used was given by his father. His father was the governor of the river. He had no other assets to his name to make money, but he was richer than the gentry.
To say that there is no corruption in Hedao Mansion? Who believes it!
Wang Yang did not speak, and even Tang Hedu, who was hiding behind the screen, fell silent.
"Nonsense! You are talking nonsense! You are slandering others! You are slandering!"
Tang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly roared at Du Ning, looking very angry.
"Master Du is right! The Tang River Governor is not engaged in business, so how can he get so much money? I'm afraid the money comes from the money allocated by the court to build river embankments!"
"Where does the money from the imperial court come from? Doesn't it come from the silver tax that we people pay every year? I dare you to say that all the money we gave to the imperial court was swallowed up by these corrupt officials!"
"Using the silver tax paid by us people, you still call us untouchables and beasts! How can there be beasts like you in the world!"
At this moment, the crowd was furious, and they started to spray all kinds of things against Tang Hao.
"Quiet! Quiet! Quiet for me!"
Wang Yang was so angry that he shouted again.
The manic voices everywhere were suppressed again.
"Master Du, I am the master of the court. Don't act recklessly just because you are the seventh-grade Viscount!" Wang Yang warned.

"Du just wants to seek justice for the people," Du Ning said.
"I know you are angry. Now that Tang Hao is in court, he has admitted his mistakes and is willing to compensate. What else do you want?"
"Then according to what Mr. Wang said, if I beat Tang Hao today, would it be enough to pay some money?" Du Ning asked back.
"Well..."
Wang Yang's face became fierce, and he suddenly felt that Du Ning's words had a special meaning, as if he really wanted to beat Tang Hao.
"What did you say? You want to hit me? Just you?"
When Tang Hao heard this, he seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed at Du Ning: "Master Du, you are so arrogant. You are just a ninth-grade scholar of Confucianism and Taoism, but you also want to defeat me as an eighth-grade scholar? Really?
The most ridiculous thing in the world! If you really have that ability, try touching me and see who hits whom!"
"This is the Yamen Court. If we want to fight, it will naturally be the most formal literary fight between scholars."
Du Ning said: "The prefect is above me, and the people are the witnesses. Today, as a scholar of the ninth grade of Confucianism and Taoism, I, Du Ning, challenge Tang Hao, the eighth grade scholar, to a literary battle. Both parties signed a literary battle letter and used their talents and strength to fight.
The one who stands wins, the one who lies down loses."
"Tang Hao, in front of many scholars in Nanping Mansion and in front of the common people, do you choose to fight, or do you want to be a coward?"
After the words fell, all the students in Hanyi Club changed their expressions. They didn't expect Du Ning to be so impulsive and want to compete with Tang Haowen.
This is really too dangerous.
"Master Du, don't be impulsive!"
"Tang Hao is an eighth-grade scholar, you can't beat him!"
"This is so messy!"
The students of Hanyi Club advised each other one after another.
Du Ning said firmly: "You don't need to say anything. Today I just want to speak out for those who were bullied by Tang Hao. I will win this battle!"
Li Changsheng guessed in his heart: "Could it be that Du Ning was setting a trap from the beginning to lure Tang Hao into a fight? Du Ning's real intention was not to ask for compensation, but to teach Tang Hao a lesson for venting his anger on Zhang Yuan and the villagers?" "Pfft!"
Wang Yang couldn't help laughing and looked at Du Ning with contempt.
Du Ning, who was behind the screen, also laughed angrily at Tang Hedu: "Haha... This Du Ning doesn't know the heights of the world. He thinks he can defeat my son Tang Hao as a ninth-grade scholar. This kid is simply stupid. My son Tang Hao
You can crush him with just one finger!"
"Du Ning is so arrogant, my son will definitely deal with him severely and teach him an unforgettable lesson!"
Governor Tang He looked proud, as if he had seen Du Ning being defeated by Tang Hao and lying on the ground begging for mercy.
"Haha...haha..."
Tang Hao laughed loudly. In his eyes, Du Ning challenged him to a literary fight, which was simply a mantis trying to block the car and overestimating his capabilities.
"This is simply the funniest joke I have ever heard in my life!"
"A ninth-grade scholar can speak so boldly!"
"Okay! Since you are seeking death on your own, then I will help you, sign a document of civil struggle with you, and fight with you!"
Tang Hao was full of himself, thinking that he was an eighth-rank scholar after all. If he dared not respond to Du Ning's provocation, then not to mention the many scholars and common people present, even he would look down on himself.
Moreover, Tang Hao also believed that since Du Ning humiliated him so much in court, he should bring this place back to let the other party know how powerful he is.
"Okay, if you two want to have a literary fight, then I will preside over this literary fight. Since it is a literary fight that limits the power of talent and talent, as a scholar, Tang Hao is not allowed to use the power of literary courage, otherwise he will be severely punished by this officer.
."
Wang Yang felt a little happy in his heart. He had already disliked Du Ning, and now that he had such a good opportunity, he must see the end of Du Ning's failure.
"Please rest assured, Sir, I am an eighth-rank judge. If I use the power of literary courage to win, it will be a defeat. How can I kill a chicken with a butcher's knife?" Tang Hao said disdainfully.
