The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1454 Zhujiang Marquis

Fang Yun lowered his head and looked around. The cell was very simple, with thatch on the floor. There was a toilet in the corner of the cell, but there was nothing else.

The cell has a steel door on one side and an iron window on the other.

Fang Yun turned to look at the bars, and could see that it was morning, synchronized with the time of Shengyuan Continent.

Fang Yun looked at himself. His clothes and hair were messy, but relatively neat. After all, as a Hanlin, he could mobilize his ability to clean his body.

At this moment, messy footsteps approached quickly.

Then, a group of people appeared in front of the prison door.

A fair-skinned eunuch screamed: "Don't open the cell door for Marquis Zhujiang yet!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" A man in scholar's uniform walked forward quickly, opened the cell door, and made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face.

The eunuch frowned and glanced at the situation in the prison, and was about to cover his nose, but when he saw Fang Yun, he immediately smiled, bent down and walked into the low prison door, and said with a smile: "Marquis of Zhujiang, I have been missing for some days."

Fang Yun thought of Zhang Longxiang's character, which was a little conceited and arrogant, cold-tempered and didn't speak much, so he snorted and said, "Oh? Who are you, I don't remember!"

The eunuch laughed and didn't take it seriously, and said: "You nobles often forget things, but I will remember you. Come on, don't just reminisce about the past, talk about business first. Congratulations to Lord Zhujiang, His Majesty the King of Chu has issued an edict to the whole country, because There is insufficient evidence, so you are released. From now on, you are the upright Marquis of Zhujiang."

"Where is the king's edict?" Fang Yun asked.

The Kong Sheng Literary Circle imitated the Shengyuan Continent in many places. During the Fang Yun Palace Examination, the Qin State of the Kong Sheng Literary Circle began to learn from the policies and laws of Ning'an County. However, there are still some differences between the Kong Shengwen world and the Shengyuan Continent.

For example, there is no "imperial edict" in the world of Confucian and Saint literature, but there is the "King's Edict" with similar functions.

The eunuch suddenly showed an awkward smile, chuckled, and said: "Let's not talk about the royal edict for now. You haven't been home for a long time. Let's go home and take a look. The carriage is waiting at the gate of Shanglin Prison. I'm here. The Marquis of Zhujiang is inconvenient. , help him leave."

"Hmph! No need. I am not sick or injured. You can leave on your own." Fang Yun said, slowly stood up, his face was stern, and he scanned everyone with his cold eyes.

Many people were frightened by the extremely aggressive gaze and lowered their heads.

Fang Yun glanced at the eunuch and walked towards the prison door, but he was worried in his heart. If the King of Chu did not produce the "Edict of King's Order", it meant that the Chu court was somewhat ambiguous about this matter and did not issue it officially when he arrested him. Documents, and there is no document for the release now. It is typical to let it go, but it is extremely troublesome for Zhang Longxiang.

Fang Yun bent down to pass the door, stood up straight, and looked at the two jailers, his eyes like ice.

There are portraits of these two jailers in the book of Old Man Shushan.

The two jailers trembled and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and shouting.

"Sir, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me! This villain has blind eyes and looks down upon others. I beg you, please spare my life!"

"The younger ones are all supported by the elders and younger ones, so please be kind to me..."

Many people present did not know the reason, but they all looked surprised. It was obvious that these two jailers had harmed Zhang Longxiang.

"What kind of person am I? How can I argue with a villain? However, the state has national laws and the family has family rules. The two of you insulted the human clan Hanlin and the princes of a country and should be severely punished! Don't you think so?" Fang Yun said , turned to look at the eunuch.

The eunuch immediately blushed angrily, pointed at the two jailers and screamed: "Come here, drag these two low-level bastards out and give them a hundred big beatings! After the beating, they will be sent to the Jingzhou Mansion to be severely punished." Interrogation!"

"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, please have mercy on me..."

The palace guards immediately rushed forward, grabbed the two men and dragged them out of the prison, leaving behind a series of screams.

Fang Yun snorted, raised his head proudly, walked out of Shanglin Prison with a high head.

When walking out of the gate of Shanglin Prison, Fang Yun looked back and glanced at the word "Shanglin" on the plaque. As a marquis of a country, he should have been imprisoned in the better Ruolu Prison after committing a crime, but he was imprisoned in a smaller one. He was sent to Forest Prison, which shows how poor his previous status was.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Look, this is the chariot and horse specially prepared for you by the King of Chu. Please board the chariot."

Fang Yun took a look and saw a carriage with ten white horses. The brown wooden carriage was very spacious and had pure gold carvings on the surface. It was extremely luxurious.

"You stay here, I will go home. As for the King of Chu... Thank you for me, I will not go to court for the time being! We haven't seen each other for ten years, and the Pearl River Army is afraid of military discipline. When the Pearl River Army is ready, I will Meet the King of Chu again! In addition, this carriage has returned to me!" Fang Yun said, boarding the carriage without looking back, acting like a powerful Hanlin full of resentment.

The eunuch stood there and sighed.

Fang Yun was sitting on the carriage, with thoughts racing in his mind. The reason why he didn't see the King of Chu was because he was afraid that he would be exposed because he was not familiar with his identity. He should first adapt to the environment these days.

Fang Yun kept thinking and recalled everything recorded in the book. Many questions emerged in his mind, but unfortunately he could not find the answers.

"Old man Shushan said that Zhang Longxiang had died a long time ago, but these people knew nothing about it, which was a bit weird. However, it may have something to do with the power of the Kong Shengwen world, so covering up this matter is nothing..."

The carriage moved forward, and when the coachman said that he was about to arrive at Zhang's mansion, Fang Yun suddenly became a little nervous. After all, he had not yet adapted to Zhang Longxiang's identity.

Although Zhang Longxiang was born in a wealthy family, he was devoted to the way of the saints. He married very late and had only one wife and one concubine, which was extremely rare in the world of Confucius. Unfortunately, his wife died of illness due to overwork five years ago, and the concubine hanged herself afterwards.

Zhang Longxiang had only one son, but the two had never seen each other. As a suspected traitor, no one could visit him.

Fang Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. This was the test of the Ninth Mountain. Although the old man Shushan did not mention it, the first step he had to take was definitely not to rectify the Pearl River Army, but to rectify the Zhang family. If he could not rectify the Zhang family, the government and the public in Chu would inevitably launch attacks. I am afraid that my inexplicable release has caused dissatisfaction in some people.

Although the Zhang family did not have many enemies, there were several families, and even a family of dukes.

"I wonder what the Zhang family is like today..."

"My Lord, we are at the Marquis' Mansion." The coachman said.

Fang Yun lifted the curtain and got out of the car. He stood in front of the car door and stared at the Zhang Mansion in front of him in amazement.

There are large mansions on both sides of the Zhang Mansion, but the Zhang Mansion seems to be in another world.

The doors of the Zhang Mansion are rotten due to worms, and they make a loud bang when the wind blows. The walls are mostly broken, and weeds grow in the cracks of the walls and stairs.

There is a stone lion with its head cut off in front of the Marquis' Mansion.

Fang Yun looked at the top of the wall and saw very tall weeds sticking out of the wall.

"Simply..." Fang Yun didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood. Although he was prepared for the Zhang family to be ruined, he didn't expect it to be so ruined.

Fang Yun's eyes fell on the door knocker. There was no rust on it, and there was not much dust on the stairs. It seemed that someone still lived inside.
