"I think you just recite it without knowing what it means?" Dong Xiaowan sneered coldly, "Since what you think is right, you are fair and honest, not emotionally involved, and impartial. Then why can't you do it? Outside you People, regardless of gender, age or age, have tried to stop this catastrophe from spreading. But you say, 'serving people is done by servants, and we scholars only need to study'. You are still fair and honest. , no emotion, no partiality? There is also self-cultivation, do you improve your moral cultivation? Besides, the Qi family, I don’t believe that there is no one who has the plague that is not your relatives, friends and family members. The life and death of family members can be turned a blind eye and ignored, what kind of family is this? And governing the country, do you think you have virtue? If you don’t even have virtue, then what is the benevolence of benevolence, respect, filial piety, kindness, and faith? The wind is full of the whole country, which is simply farting!

All the scholars were rendered speechless by Dong Xiaowan's rebuttal.

Dong Xiaowan glanced at them coldly, and then said to Liu Butou: "Liu Butou, please let all these so-called scholars go out! Then go and invite some maids and servants who serve people to come, We dare not let these so-called scholars get their hands dirty, and besides, they may not be able to learn well. To prevent these so-called scholars from messing around, if this plague cannot be controlled, Taoyang County will really be massacred, and some people will die Pigs, dogs, and those who don’t know how to rectify their minds, cultivate their moral character, regulate their families, govern their country, and bring peace to the world are nothing! But you can’t drag the whole city to sacrifice for these animals, right?”

The scholars were ridiculed by Dong Xiaowan, and they felt depressed, but they couldn't say anything. If they agreed to Dong Xiaowan's words, wouldn't they admit that they were animals?
