C9 Slandering

When Xiao Yun saw this question, everyone saw it too.

They couldn't help but raise their heads to look around, then lowered their heads to think carefully.

Different?

What was different?

Little Master Zhao was also stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.

Wasn't this what Xiao Yun scolded him earlier?

"Who asked this question? What does it mean? "

He suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

The surrounding scholars also began to discuss, and their voices became louder and louder.

Lee Runzhi walked in from outside the door and said softly, "Everyone, could it be that this Li has something I did not greet properly? Why is it so noisy?"

Little Master Zhao immediately said, "Lee Runzhi, what do you mean? We have come to your Li Prefecture to see your father, Prime Minister Lee! You set such a question, could it be that you are deliberately making fun of me? "

Hua!

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Everyone was stunned.

This Little Master Zhao was really strong. He even dared to contradict Lee Runzhi?

Could it be that the Zhao family's influence in the Imperial Court had already far exceeded the Lee family's?

They were all waiting for Lee Runzhi to flip out. After all, no one would be happy to be contradicted like this.

However, Lee Runzhi smiled lightly and said, "So it's because my father is in poor health today. That's why we set three questions in advance. Only those who pass the test can go see my father. In front of you is the first question, and there is no standard answer. You only need to answer as you wish."

No standard answer?

Everyone was stunned again.

Then, they looked at Little Master Zhao with gloating expressions.

The lack of an accurate answer meant that it was entirely up to Lee Runzhi to decide whether he would pass or not. This fellow had already contradicted him beforehand. No matter how he answered, or how he answered, this evaluation wouldn't be too high.

Little Master Zhao was just about to speak when he was once again stopped by Zhao Fengxi.

With just a glance, he sat down obediently.

Zhao Fengxi walked out from the crowd and softly said, "I have seen Young Master Lee. My younger brother was impulsive just now. Please do not blame Young Master Lee."

Lee Runzhi smiled gently and said, "Counselor Zhao, you are worrying too much. Little Master Zhao is young and energetic. We are envious of him. Why would we blame him?"

Zhao Fengxi nodded his head and said, "But this question... is too much of a coincidence. Just now outside the door, this young master from Xiao mansion in front mentioned this. His words were insulting, which was why his brother was so impulsive. Now that there is such a question, I would like to consult this Young Master Xiao. What is a dog, what is a dog? And what is the difference?"

Xiao Yun did not expect that Zhao Fengxi's ability to shift the focus of attention would be so high. With just a few words, he actually threw the conflict onto him.

He really had the intention of being shot even if he was lying down.

Shangguan Qing'er immediately said, "Young Master Yun, this is purely a provocation. Don't pay attention to him!"

She was actually worried that Xiao Yun would not be able to say the difference between dogs and dogs.

After all, in her opinion, there was no difference at all!

However, Xiao Yun stood up straight and smiled lightly, full of confidence.

In fact, he did not want to answer the questions because he did not want to write.

Even though he had been sharpening his spear in the last few days, he really couldn't write! The people of Qin valued character very much. They also attached great importance to calligraphy. They had heard that the previous emperor had said something like "seeing words as if they were humans," which made it so that his calligraphy was not good because of his bad character. It was a conclusion.

Now, this Zhao Fengxi, who had taken revenge for the smallest grievance, had actually created an opportunity for him to not use writing...

To be honest, Xiao Yun wanted to thank him!

Of course, he wouldn't really do that.

He glanced coldly and smiled at Lee Runzhi. "Originally, this young master only knew this principle from the servants of that day. Now, looking at it, but I know very little. It even became a question of evaluation. It's really... Hehe, I overestimated the world's scholars! "

This sentence had offended everyone present!

Including Lee Runzhi.

In fact, Lee Runzhi did not know the difference. He even felt that it was very strange for his father to suddenly come up with such a question.

He returned the greeting with a smile, but it was an extremely awkward smile.

He said directly, "Since Young Master Xiao has his own unique opinion, it would be better to say it out and let everyone see it."

He said it out loud through gritted teeth.

Obviously, he hated Xiao Yun's arrogant character.

Xiao Yun seemed to be unable to read his expression. He even sighed and looked around with an extremely disappointed expression. It made everyone present grit their teeth in hatred. They wished they could rush forward and beat this bastard up!

"Dog is the name of a species. It was evolved from a wolf and was tamed by its ancestors for thousands of years. Dogs are different. Everyone can write the word 'dog' on a piece of paper. If you observe carefully, can you find any differences?"

Under the curious trend, everyone wrote the word 'dog' on the paper.

After looking at it, they didn't find anything different.

Xiao Yun said again, "Among all of you, are there any people who can read ancient texts?"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. On one hand, they didn't know why Xiao Yun asked this question. On the other hand... they didn't understand either.

They had not learned the language yet. What ancient texts did they learn?

Lee Runzhi said softly, "I know a thing or two about it."

Xiao Yun said, "Then I will have to trouble Young Master Lee to write out the dog word. Can you do it?"

Lee Runzhi nodded. He picked up a pen and paper to draw. It was also considered as showing off. He drew a strange shape, which really looked like a dog that stood up.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Only scholars can write the word 'dog'. It's really not easy for Young Master Lee to write out the word 'dog' and pass it on to others. Young Master Lee, can you raise this word and show it to me? "

What kind of person would praise you to make you feel satisfied? Your enemy!

Especially since Xiao Yun was such an annoying fellow, Lee Runzhi enjoyed his praise.

He looked humble on the surface, but in fact, he raised his invitation and showed it to everyone on the scene.

Xiao Yun nodded and continued, "Everyone has seen it. The biggest difference between the ancient words and the ancient words is that they are simplified. Leaving their charm aside, they are complicated, so the word 'dog'. After many years of simplification, it became the word 'dog' in front of everyone. However, there is a huge difference between the dogs of today and the dogs of ancient times. Is it possible for everyone to notice it?"

Lee Runzhi was stunned for a moment. He looked at the two words carefully and could not tell what the difference was. Or rather, the difference was too great. Which part of the difference did Xiao Yun refer to?

Shangguan Qing'er's eyes suddenly lit up. She pointed to the letter and said, "Here! There was an extra point in the dog words now. The original dog words were connected up and down, and the strokes were connected. But now, there is an additional point outside of the brush. It is too obvious!"

This sentence of hers," too obvious, "was another line that offended people.

Everyone was angry, but they had to admit that this was indeed the biggest difference!

Then... Everyone couldn't help but be curious, why would there be such a small difference?

Xiao Yun nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, it's precisely this difference."

Lee Runzhi was extremely curious!

He hurriedly asked, "Why is it so different? Is there a deeper meaning behind it?"

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Just now, I said that the words' past and present 'have virtually all changed. The senior who simplified the font must have had the idea of keeping the font, too. He had no choice but to leave an additional point on this dog word. And this point... is the difference between a dog and a dog!"

"Why?"

Lee Runzhi immediately asked.

Xiao Yun suddenly asked, "I think you have dogs, or at least you have seen them before. Did you notice that some dogs have toes? When they're near the calves, one more will appear? Some don't, but some are hounds. Loyal dogs!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they widened their eyes.

It seemed... it really was like that!

Lee Runzhi hurriedly ordered his servants to search for all kinds of dogs. There was such a thing in his memory, but he could not be sure if he did not see it with his own eyes. After all, no one usually paid attention to this kind of thing.

Xiao Yun continued, "The word 'dog' is ancient. There is a mouth next to it. This mouth is in the shape of an elephant. It is the meaning of a pot. Dogs have been brought into cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs since ancient times. To put it bluntly, raising a dog to guard the house can also be used to cook on the table. It could be eaten. However, dogs were different. The ancient people used to train eagles and dogs, which were the helpers of hunting! The ancient people said that once a person obtained the Dao, chickens and dogs would ascend to heaven. And when the cloud worked for the dog, the dog would do whatever it wanted. How could there be any derologies for this dog? How can we put them together with dogs to talk about it?"

"The shepherd uses it to herd sheep. 300 sheep per dog. A hound can hunt, search for danger, and be accompanied by warmth. At critical moments, they can even save lives. On the battlefield, it charged into battle, the civilians guarded the houses, and strangers called the police. Do you think they are dogs? I don't think so! Dogs are tools, they are companions. They are the right-hand men, the best friends of mutants, the most loyal people in the world. Nothing can be compared to it!"

"Even if you want to kill him, you just need to hit him on the head with your stick. If you want to kill it, you have to do it! With his head bleeding, he fled dozens of feet away, but when he heard someone calling out to him... It will still return to your side, allowing you to use the stick to avoid revealing its fangs. This is a dog! Now tell me, is a dog the same as a dog? This young master feels that this is an insult, an insult!"

Xiao Yun couldn't help but become excited. He took a deep breath and naturally spoke in a low and solemn voice.

"Have you guys experienced it? Wild dogs are wandering outside, seeking survival. You can throw a piece of meat at it. It probes, hesitates, in the end it can't bear the hunger... Eat the meat, and from now on, follow by your side... It will never leave you. What you gave him was an unimportant piece of meat, and what he gave you was his entire life! From now on, I'll serve you from beginning to end... "
