Chapter 325 - The Redologists Strike Back? (2/2)
Another youth who studied Redology said, “Right, and it was in your so-called first 80 chapters”
“There was such a plot in front” Zhang Ye said, “In chapter 75, Cousin Zhen gathered a bunch of faaallery below Celestial Fragrance Pavilion, allowing young uise If one had to insist, Cousin Zhen’s crierous behavior and signal, but for soe would be Cousin Zhen’s ga Who can explain this to me?”
“This…”
“Was there such a passage?”
“Yes, they were indeed practicing shooting”
“I also recall it This ritten in an abstruse manner”
Without Zhang Ye , ht about it Noith hi it, many of those who had read “Dream of the Red Chamber” recalled it!
It’s really true!
There was a serious problem!
Zhang Ye questioned, “If this was really Cao Xueqin’s original text, would Mr Cao make such a low-level error?”
A Redologist in his thirties grunted “This isn’t a cri to do with him, then from what you say, the Jia family is innocent Why would their family be raided?”
Zhang Ye said, “The Jia fauilty”
Meng Dongguo said, “Jia She and Cousin Zhen were originally…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ye had interrupted him “No, actually Jia She and Cousin Zhen’s crime existed, but that was not the true reason behind why the Jia family was raided! My point has always been based on the first 80 chapters In the first 80 chapters, this matter was clearly indicated!”
Ma Hengyuan said to Zhang Ye as if he was not worth a single glance, “Then whose crime is it?”
Zhang Ye calave a name It was a name that shocked everyone “The real reason behind the Jia fa!”
“Jia Zheng?”
“Did you say the wrong name?”
“It can’t be Jia Zheng!”
“That’s right! Anyone can be guilty except Jia Zheng!”
The Peking University students were the first to create an uproar It was too surprising for Zhang Ye to give this na Ye had previously said as they found it very reasonable, but regarding Jia Zheng’s crime? None of them believed! How can that be?
However, Zhang Ye ignored their discussion and said the next sentence “Hur Hur I can tell everyone that not only is Jia Zheng guilty, but it’s a heinous crime!”
“Can it be that exaggerated?”
“Heinous crime?”
“He’s the only good person in the Jia family!”
“That’s right, where did it say Jia Zheng was guilty?”
The Redologists like Yan Yu and Teacher Yang all gave a look of shock!
Elder Qian and Professor Zeng, ere originally very supportive of Zhang Ye, looked at each other They could see the doubt in each other’s eyes They did not know either!
Zhang Ye was indifferent He said, “Everyone ht not believe it, but I will still say it If this was Cao Xueqin’s original work… if this was Cao Xueqin’s original 108 chapters of ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’, he would have written that the real reason why the Jia fa’s cri was a very decentseemed the most innocent The way you came to this conclusion was the sahtieth thought too Hence, using this line of thought, he wrote it into the ie that everyone sees today Even when the Jia fa There was no criave hience of the Jia family Hur Hur On these matters, you already have preconceptions about this, hence, you are subconsciously disagreeing hat I’ However, I still have to say it This is a major error the continuerand line of thought Cao Xueqin had in the first 80 chapters This is also the reason why everyone has been misled!”
Senior Zhou could not stand for this any the , where is the foreshadowing you mentioned?”
Senior Song asked, “Was it written earlier that Jia Zheng had committed a crime?”
Many students and people from the literary world could not accept it InThey liked hi to subvert their understanding again? Wasn’t this subversion too much?
Zhang Ye sood that there is controversy Everyone, listen to me first See if what I say e of Jia Zheng in the chapters after the eightieth Let’s look at the first 80 chapters written by Cao Xueqin and how he described Jia Zheng’s i? In chapter 75, You-shi+ was angry and went to visit Lady wang At thisshocking ‘Some people from the Zhen fas I think it’s so secret they’ve coo there now”
On the screen
The original text appeared
Everyone looked at it, and indeed, there was such a passage
“Who is the Zhen family? It’s a close family to the Jia family What was the situation back then? The Zhen fa Ye smiled and said, “Then in the book, was You-shi+ very surprised when she heard this? No, she was not one bit surprised You-shi+ said, ‘Yes, I heard your , ‘that he had read in the Gazette that the Zhens had been attainted, and the fa!’”
Everyone present looked surprised
One wouldn’t knoithout thinking, but the ht about it, they were shocked!
Zhang Ye asked, “Jia Zheng helped the Zhen family hide their treasures I want to ask you, is this a severe crime?”
Senior Zhou ru in a convinced manner, “…Yes!”
The people fro period They had an impression of this plot, but that was all they had As the book did not write it in detail, and was just described with a feords, it was too superficial, and as a result, lect it, this plot justwas a person who valued sentiment They did not link it with hoould add on to the crihtieth chapter Only when Zhang Ye pointed it out did these people think about it Yes, it was truly the case!
Was the crime severe?
It was too severe!
In the society of that era, that was a serious crime!
Zhang Ye looked at the crowd, “This ritten in the first eighty chapters by Cao Xueqin They were the original words, so I would like to ask, later when the Jia family was raided, as the reason behind it?”
Many people turned quiet They were rendered speechless by Zhang Ye’s question!
The Redologists realized that things were not going well Zhang Ye’smore and more valid If they allowed him to carry on, even they would be convinced Hence, Teacher Yang picked up a microphone and switched it on He had to speak!
