Gu Jin'an laughed, not even glancing at those scholars, simply saying: "Fly-bitten rats, unable to distinguish right from wrong, even if they pass the exams, they will only harm the country and the people."
Those scholars were furious upon hearing this, pointing at Gu Jin'an, saying: "What did you say? How dare you insult us! We are speaking the truth, you do not support your grandfather, it's unfilial."
Gu Jin'an reminded them: "Gu Shengxiang is not my grandfather; my family severed ties with his long ago, this was determined by the Prefecture Government Office. If you are unhappy, go ahead and smash the Prefecture Government Office."
A few scholars were taken aback, more indignant: "Gu Jin'an, what do you mean? How dare you suggest we smash the Prefecture Government Office!"
