Chapter 1684: Fighting the Criminal Palace
Fang Yun and Dong Wencong led the officials of Baling City to the South Gate, waiting for the special envoy of the Criminal Palace.
Before the special envoy arrived, Fang Yun whispered with Dong Wencong, Fang Shouye and others, and the other officials also gathered together and whispered.
During the conversation, Fang Yun looked at the people around him and found that except for Nie Changju, the director of the Ministry of Rites, and a few minor officials, most of the people of the Ministry of Rites were not present. They had previously excused themselves on the grounds of being busy.
Fang Yun remained calm, and it was obvious that someone had tipped off, but this was actually a good thing for him.
Not long after, a white cloud appeared from the sky, and an old man wearing the uniform of the Grand Secretary of the Criminal Palace descended quickly.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that this person was Han Zhengyang, the Grand Secretary of the Han Feizi family. He thought that the people in the Criminal Palace were not all old-fashioned. He had a close relationship with the Han Feizi family, which was well known to everyone. Just helping the Han family find the lost volume of the holy book "Han Feizi" would be enough for the Han family to remember for generations.
When Fang Yun visited various families in Kongcheng, he met Han Zhengyang, who was Han Shoulu's second uncle. They had a very pleasant conversation when they met.
Although Fang Yun was a virtual saint, Han Zhengyang represented the Criminal Palace and the Holy Court. The moment Han Zhengyang landed, Fang Yun stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "The special envoy of the Criminal Palace has come to us, which makes Xiangzhou proud."
Other officials did not dare to bow their hands. They all bowed and bowed 90 degrees. Even the old Hanlin Nie Changju, who wanted to make trouble for Fang Yun the most, did not dare to neglect him at all.
Han Zhengyang had a blank expression on his face and bowed his hands and said, "I have met Fang Xusheng! Please don't be too polite. I came here just to perform the duties of the Criminal Palace and do not need any welcome. Everyone, please disperse. Please ask Fang Xusheng, Dongzhou Mu and Fang Dudu to lead the way and assist the Criminal Palace in thoroughly investigating the "Xiangzhou Dibao" matter."
The officials present had different expressions. No one dared to speak, and they all stared at Han Zhengyang.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "May I ask Han Daxueshi, is this Xiangzhou Dibao a newspaper under the name of the Holy Court?"
When Fang Yun said this, not only ordinary officials were shocked, but even Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye were also shocked. Fang Yun's tone was very ordinary, but his intention was too obvious. This was questioning the jurisdiction of the Holy Court or the Criminal Court!
Although a dignified virtual saint can question the Criminal Court, it is not necessary. If he confronts the Criminal Court or even the Holy Court, it will be out of control. Damaging the reputation of literature is a small matter, but affecting the Holy Way is a big matter.
It has never happened in a hundred years to attack the Criminal Court or even the Holy Court. Even if it happens, it will be ruthlessly eliminated by the Holy Court. It is absolutely necessary to establish the absolute authority of the Holy Court, otherwise those evil spirits will inevitably think that the Holy Court can be deceived.
Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye repeatedly winked at Fang Yun, and Fang Shouye even secretly sent an urgent letter to Fang Yun to remind him, but Fang Yun was unmoved and looked at Han Zhengyang calmly.
Dong Wencong saw that Fang Yun was confident and no longer anxious, but fell into deep thought.
Han Zhengyang heard Fang Yun's words, his eyes widened slightly, and after a few breaths, he found that Fang Yun's expression was still calm. After a little thought, he said: "The Xiangzhou Dibao is originally a publication of the Xiangzhou government, but the Holy Court has a clear regulation that before the release of the Dibao of each country, it must be reviewed by the Editorial Office of the Wenbao of the Holy Court before it can be published. This time, the supplement of the Xiangzhou Dibao has not been reviewed, which violates the laws of the Holy Court and should be verified by the Criminal Court."
"Since the Xiangzhou Dibao only needs to be reviewed by the Holy Court before publication, the supplement of the Xiangzhou Dibao today should be reviewed by the Criminal Court after the verification and processing by Xiangzhou, and finally the Criminal Court and Xiangzhou will jointly announce the results." Fang Yun said.
Han Zhengyang suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly: "The rules of the Criminal Court cannot be changed! This matter can only be verified and judged by the Criminal Court alone!"
"As the governor of the two states, I govern the officials and people of the two states, and the Xiangzhou Dibao is also under my jurisdiction. As long as the Xiangzhou Dibao does not betray the human race, I cannot let the Criminal Court handle my Xiangzhou internal affairs alone!"
Fang Yun's words were powerful. Although the officials present were worried about Fang Yun, they also felt that Fang Yun's words were very reasonable.
Even the officials who celebrated nodded slightly, admiring Fang Yun's courage. The officials of the ten countries were not only afraid of the Criminal Court, but also resentful of the Criminal Court. Many things were often wasted when the Criminal Court intervened, and in the end, they didn't know why the Criminal Court intervened. Even if they asked, the Criminal Court would not answer on the grounds of confidentiality.
Han Zhengyang looked at Fang Yun and didn't speak for a long time.
Fang Yun kept looking at Han Zhengyang quietly, motionless.
The other officials didn't dare to move, and could only look at the two carefully.
After a moment, Han Zhengyang slowly said: "Governor Fang, you are against the Criminal Court! Against the Holy Court!"
When the four big words "against the Holy Court" came out, the waists and backs of all the officials present were slightly bent, and they were shorter than before.
Only Fang Yun remained calm.
"For the officials of Xiangzhou and the people of Xiangzhou, even if it means going against the Criminal Court, I, Fang Yun, will not hesitate! Today, as the governor of the two states, I request the Criminal Court not to confiscate and seal the supplement of "Xiangzhou Dibao". I can only participate in the trial after the investigation of Xiangzhou! Otherwise, I, Fang Yun, will risk my life and property to seek justice for Xiangzhou."
Dong Wencong sighed lightly, stepped forward helplessly, and said: "Please think twice, the special envoy of the Criminal Court. The matter of "Xiangzhou Dibao" should be decided by the Governor's Office."
Fang Shouye saw that even Dong Wencong had come forward, and he, as Fang Yun's uncle, could not stand by, so he also stepped forward and said: "Please think twice, special envoy!"
The other officials saw that the situation was not right. The three officials with the highest positions and power in Xiangzhou all stood up. If they did not stand with the three, they would definitely be bullied in the future. However, the person opposite was a senior official of the Criminal Palace, a great scholar of aristocratic family. What if they stood up and were punished later?
After a few breaths, some officials transferred from Jingguo to Xiangzhou stood up one after another.
Xue Li, the director of the Engineering Department, Jiang Zhengming, the director of the Law Department, Jia He, the director of the Criminal Department, Cai Yuan, the director of the Supervision Department, and many other officials stepped forward and stood behind Fang Yun.
Those Qing officials who secretly opposed Fang Yun kept thinking that if the Criminal Palace investigated this matter, Guan Yi and other Qing officials would be unlucky, and most of the people in the Li Department would be implicated. The means of the Criminal Palace would definitely be much more cruel than Fang Yun.
Not long after, Nie Changju, the director of the Li Department, stepped forward, bowed, and said: "Please think twice, the special envoy of the Criminal Palace!"
The leader of the Qing officials, Nie Changju, said so, and the others hurriedly followed.
Soon, all the officials present stood behind Fang Yun and expressed their opposition to the Criminal Court's investigation into the Xiangzhou Dibao supplement.
Han Zhengyang's face became darker and darker. Until this time, he had guessed that he was very likely to be used by someone to become an enemy of Fang Yun. Now he was in a dilemma. Even if he became an enemy of Fang Yun, he had to consider the face of the Criminal Court.
In his heart, Han Zhengyang cursed the ancestors of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Han Zhengyang took a last look at Fang Yun and found that Fang Yun never explained to him in secret. Finally, he snorted and said, "Since the officials of Xiangzhou are against the Criminal Court's investigation, I can only report to the Criminal Court! You will pay the price for what you did today!"
