If it weren't for Jia Gujing's manipulation, saying that Scholar Yang, a student from a farmer's family, preferred to study alone at home rather than attending the county school, it was clear contempt for the knowledge and abilities of the Scholar Officials, a great disrespect and insult. They had to be severely punished to deter others. Otherwise, in the future, other students would follow suit, not only disrupting the county school's order but also tarnishing the reputations of all Scholar Officials.
He and Du Xuezheng felt they were justified, so they persuaded the other Scholar Officials to go to the Yang family with them. Unfortunately, the others were unmoved, and only he and Du Xuezheng followed Jia Gujing there.
