How did Kangxi handle the trial case of Xinmaoke Jiangnan Township, which caused the shock of the ruling and opposition parties?

Serious families sentenced to death, all their ancestral property was nationalized, while lighter families were beaten 40 times, and then their property was confiscated. Therefore, in ancient times, cheating in imperial examinations was very important, especially collusion between examiners and examinees was a great sin. Originally, it was a common thing, but sometimes the court turned a blind eye to this kind of thing for the sake of the national treasury, but this time the Jiangnan township trial case was really a bit too much, which alarmed Kangxi. At that time, almost half of the 120 people on the list were children of salt merchants, and they have always been used to it.

First, the situation of candidates

This situation is invincible for a poor scholar, but when a group of scholars get together, their influence can't be underestimated, because these scholars may scold people to lose everything, so they spontaneously gather in front of Suzhou University to defend their dignity to the death. Officials of Suzhou University saw that the situation was not good and had to report it to the court. At the same time, they also need to find someone who is willing to take the blame, so the examiner Zuo Bifan appeared.

Second, the examiner was scolded

With the appearance of people with back pockets, all the firepower of these literati was attracted, and some talented people even wrote poems and satires. Zuo Qiu-ming as blind as a bat, Zhao Zilong as prominent as a head? Just to satirize Zuo Bifan's words, things have developed like this. Not to mention the examiner and other participants, they had to clean their necks and wait for Kangxi's butcher knife. Soon Kangxi sent the Minister of Finance to take charge of the situation.

Third, Kangxi presided over.

The fact that the ministers of the Ministry of Commerce want to curse these literati is more emboldened, but in this case, it is not only Zuo Bifan who is guilty, but also the minister who presides over the meeting. Because these literati are dissatisfied with their marksmanship, they will soon defect, so the ministers of the Ministry of Commerce are very clean and tidy, and directly slay Zuo Bifan, the exiled deputy examiner, without giving him time to clean up the relationship with others. Suzhou students wrote many posters of emperors and sages to thank Kangxi.
