Fang Wenshan was the poorest scholar in Jiangnan and supported himself by copying books. He took the imperial examination, failed again and again, and took the exam again and again. It was not until the fourth time that the eight-legged essay he wrote directly alarmed the emperor, and he was selected as the third flower. After entering the court, he implemented the New Deal and reformed the imperial examination, which touched the interests of the family. When the aristocratic family joined forces to kill him, he took out the evidence of the aristocratic family's crimes that he had collected over the past three years and read them aloud in the court - each one was a major crime that implicated the nine clans. But he finally said: "I will not kill people, I want them to suffer the consequences alive."
