The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1315 Burning books and entrapping scholars

At first, only scholars blocked the gate of Ning'an County Government Office. Gradually, people from Ning'an City came one after another.

The first people to arrive were empty-handed and were just watching the excitement.

But as the thunder sounded, the whole city resonated, and some people came with tools that could be used as weapons.

People who were originally empty-handed immediately left and went home to find tools.

In less than an hour, tens of thousands of people in Ning'an City, holding various tools, surrounded the county government office.

These people said nothing and just surrounded the entire county government office.

The yamen servant at the door finally panicked and entered the yamen many times to report the incident.

Near noon, a group of scholars appeared in the county government office. Fei Chang, the dignified prefect of Qingwu Prefecture, was not at the front, but a Jinshi in white sword uniform. His face, if painted a little, would be extremely handsome, but now, his complexion is a little pale, without a trace of healthy luster.

"Ji Zhibai, this scum, is out!"

"He actually has the nerve to come out. Sure enough, he is the best in the world, a pig-like teammate, no, he is our pig-like opponent!"

"This person has a lot of misdeeds. Please be careful, don't let him use his official seal to attract the talents of the temple and suppress us!"

"He dares!"

"He has nothing to fear. He is a disciple of Liushan. He can be called a disciple of the semi-saint! With this status, not to mention a mere prefect, even a state pastor must treat him with courtesy. Even Fang Xusheng I don’t even dare to kill him while he’s alive!”

"Yes, if this beast hadn't relied on his status as a disciple of the Half-Saint, he wouldn't have dared to be so ostentatious."

"Ji Zhibai and Fei Chang are not idiots. We scholars block them every year, but the people of Ning'an City bring weapons to surround the Ning'an County Government Office. The situation is very different. Ji Zhibai It won't be a big deal, he is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water, no matter how hot it is, then Fei Chang will definitely not be able to sit still. If things get serious, he will never want to be an official in Jingguo!"

"Now we can see what the people want. If Ji Zhibai doesn't give an explanation, he won't be able to leave Ning'an City!"

"Huh, if I didn't have a family and a career..."

Everyone was making fun of Ji Zhibai, but they were quickly stunned.

A small group of people in front of the county government office were the first to see Ji Zhibai and were stunned. Then Ji Zhibai walked out of the gate and stood with the government officials. People on both sides of the street could see him.

Then, someone burst into laughter, and everyone burst into laughter. The laughter could almost lift the entire county government office to the sky.

Next to Ji Zhibai, Fei Chang's magistrate's seal was suspended. A faint light emitted from the seal, attracting the talents of the temple, forming a thin light orange shield covering the two of them.

"A rat that is greedy for life and a dog that is afraid of death, a bedbug that lives like a dog!"

"Hengpi: It's all a disaster!"

"It's a disgrace to a scholar! I won't dare call myself a Jingguo native when I go out from now on!"

"You are as timid as a mouse in front of us. If you encounter a monster, you will definitely cover your crotch with one hand and your butt with the other!"

All the scholars cursed without mercy.

Fei Chang's face was ashen, but he knew that this kind of moment was unusual, so he said nothing.

The Ning'an City officials in the back were extremely embarrassed, either if they spoke or not.

Ji Zhibai was the calmest. A faint smile appeared on his face and he said: "I dare to ask you literary friends..."

"Who the hell is your literary friend? Don't smear our literary names!" one person shouted.

Everyone looked at the man, and most of them recognized him.

When Ning'an City was besieged by the Shui Tribe, Yang Xuanye, the general of Gu Kingdom, went to Ning'an City alone. His cousin Yang Xuantong also set out the next day.

After the war was over, the scholar Yang Xuanye returned, while Yang Xuantong, a Hanlin scholar, stayed in Ning'an County. He spent all day in Ning'an City communicating with scholars from all over the human race. He liked literary societies and was quite famous in Ning'an City.

It's just that this person has an upright and carefree personality, and has offended some people.

Yang Xuantong likes to say that his and his eldest brother's names come from the "Entrepreneurship Chuitong" in "Mencius". His eldest brother has become a bachelor, and he can certainly do the same and create his own achievements.

The Gu Kingdom has always been in harmony with the Qing Kingdom, and the country has been controlled by scholars from the Za family. The other families have to either compromise, compromise, or leave.

The two Yang brothers disliked the mixed family the most, so they came to Jingguo to help. It is said that after Yang Xuanye returned to Gu, his position changed. He was transferred from the powerful general who guarded the border to the capital of Gu. His official position was high, but his actual power was pitifully small.

Yang Xuantong's words attracted many cheers.

"Yes, stop calling us literary friends, we can't afford to embarrass that person!"

Many people started cheering.

Ji Zhibai had no choice but to burst into spring thunder with his tongue, and his voice spread for three miles.

"Everyone, it is a serious crime to gather a crowd to surround the county government without permission! This is not only Ning'an County, but also the jurisdiction of the rear guard army. If you persist in your obsession and attack local officials, you will be regarded as an enemy of Jingguo. It would be more serious. , when the barbarians invade Ning'an County, I can judge you as traitors!"

"Then sentence! Come on!" Yang Xuantong shouted unceremoniously.

Many people almost burst out laughing. The so-called "a scholar can't explain why a scholar meets a soldier" means that a scholar from the military can do things in a direct manner, but an ordinary scholar can't explain why a scholar meets a soldier. Unless they are the top strategists, when scholars from various families encounter military strategists, they can only rely on absolute power to convince them. Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the military strategists.

Ji Zhibai was actually trying to intimidate everyone and then reason with him, but Yang Xuantong showed up halfway and stirred up trouble for him so much that he couldn't continue.

Ji Zhibai couldn't just say "just judge", so he ignored Yang Xuantong and continued to speak eloquently: "The burning of books was due to the inconsideration of the county magistrate Tao Dingnian. I have asked him to write a confession. Two copies will be written tomorrow, one for the Shengyuan Lidian and one for the Ministry of Personnel. In the future, Ning'an County will never have such a situation. As for the killing of scholars, this is absolutely nonsense. I have never said such a thing. There must be despicable people who spread rumors and caused trouble. I will immediately report to the Dongsheng Pavilion and the Criminal Hall to arrest these people!"

Hearing the three words "Dongsheng Pavilion", the blood of many scholars turned cold. Liu Shan and Ji Zhibai were behind the Dongsheng Pavilion.

Dongsheng Pavilion was fully responsible for the affairs of the Shengyuan and the entire Shengyuan Continent. As long as it was in the Shengyuan Continent, any palace could be bypassed, except Dongsheng Pavilion.

Everyone understood that although Ji Zhibai himself did not admit his mistakes, he had taken a big step back and compromised, admitting that the burning of books was wrong and letting the county magistrate be the scapegoat.

From now on, Ji Zhibai will at least not weaken Fang Yun's influence in Ning'an City and in public.

"Then you write a written agreement, saying that if you make any move against Fang Xusheng in the future, you will be killed!" Yang Xuantong's voice sounded.

Many scholars laughed out loud. This kind of person is simply a rolling knife. Whoever is against him will be unlucky.

"Yang Xuantong, do you think I am easy to bully!" Ji Zhibai's voice suddenly exploded, with a mighty force like a wave, suppressing all the noise.

Before Yang Xuantong could speak, a voice sounded in the crowd.

"Ji Zhibai, I haven't seen you for many days. You are so bold that you dare to join hands with Liushan to burn books and bury scholars! How can this saint forgive you!"

The air in the whole Ning'an City seemed to freeze.

Many people were thinking that the four words "burning books and burying scholars" were really cruel. From now on, Liushan and Ji Zhibai would bear the infamy for thousands of years, and then they were shocked by the two words "this saint".
