The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1798 Military merit offset

Gao Mo said sternly: "Master of the clan, Gao did not formally judge the case, but discussed with you the punishment of Fang Xusheng. If the case is to be formally heard, at least the elders of the three halls of Dongsheng Pavilion, Li Palace and Xing Palace must gather together, or even The semi-sage needs to appear to judge. You know the rules of the Holy Court better than we do. In Fang Xusheng’s words, this is an appointment.”

"Since the Hall of Ceremony and the Hall of Punishment don't want to get involved in this matter, they can leave it to me, Dongsheng Pavilion. I will ask His Majesty Dongsheng to hear the case." Zong Ganyu said.

The whole place was in an uproar. Dongsheng was Zong Ganyu's father. As the sage of Qingguo, it was easy to know that he would favor Qingguo.

"If the Zongsheng insists on taking over the case, then I, the Hall of Punishment, and the Hall of Ceremonies will have no objection. But at the moment, the Zongsheng is probably having tea with the head of the Kong family. Are you sure you want to send a letter to the Zongsheng now?" Gao Mo said.

Zong Ganyu fell silent.

The rest of the clan members are also aware that Zong Ganyu is in a dilemma. The clan members all believe that Zong Sheng can solve the problem. However, it is an indisputable fact that Zong Sheng is in danger now. Only ignorant children will send letters to trouble Zong Sheng. Gan Yu couldn't do such a thing.

What's more, even if the Zong Sheng gets the news, he may not be willing to take over the case, because the Zong Sheng has always cherished feathers, and the Human Race Half Saint personally suppressed the Xu Sheng, which will inevitably trigger a backlash from a large number of scholars.

Gao Mo immediately said: "Since the elder of Zongge is difficult to answer, then the Xingdian and Lidian must take the lead in this matter, and Dongshengge only has the power of supervision."

Zong Ganyu said again: "The theory of lynching is too childish. Could it be that killing Lei Chongmo, a top scholar, was also a lynching? If you classify Fang Yun's killing of Lei Chongmo as a lynching, I will inform the Holy Academy and demand We even asked my father to come out!"

Gao Mo said sternly: "How can the two matters be confused? First resolve the matter of Ge Yiming, and then discuss the matter of Lei Chongmo. Lei Chongmo is the head of the Lei family. If there is irrefutable evidence, we have no right to finalize the case. At least we have to wait for the decision of the elders of the Holy Court, or even hold a public discussion and make a joint decision by the great scholars of the human race or the king. "

Zong Ganyu glanced at Lei Tingzhen.

Lei Tingzhen said immediately: "Please Mr. Gao Ge, please end the Ge Yiming case as soon as possible. The case of the head of the Lei family must not be delayed."

"Since Brother Tingzhen asked for a quick trial, I also hope to solve the case quickly." Zong Ganyu said.

Jingguo's scholars and Fang Yun's friends felt helpless. Lei Tingzhen's case had not been closed until now. Now that Ge Yiming was added to the case, with the help of the Xingdian Lidian, it would not be a problem to delay it for decades. However, now that Lei Tingzhen and Zong Ganyu have joined forces to demand a quick solution, Xingdian and Lidian cannot continue to delay.

Gao Mo looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun thought for a few breaths and said: "There is nothing complicated about Ge Yiming's case, and I agree to close it."

Gao Mo glanced at Zong Ganyu, Lei Tingzhen and Qing Jun, and after waiting for a while, he said: "Since both parties agree that the case should be settled quickly, Gao Mo will maintain the original penalty. Fang Xusheng is not unlucky. Unprovoked, Ge Yiming repeatedly committed treason with Qingjiang Trading Company, and colluded with Jiao Sheng to harm Fang Xusheng. He should be sentenced to a serious crime, and even Shao was exiled to the ancient land. However, without the documents from the Holy Court, Ge Yiming could never be punished for his crime. It was a big mistake for Fang Xusheng to kill him. This matter should be punished by lynching according to Xusheng. The punishment is to be exiled for a period of not less than three years but not more than seven years. Let me ask Mr. Wuge to tell me how to impose the punishment."

The elder Wu Ge raised his head slightly and said: "Xu Sheng killed the Jinshi who violated the etiquette. Without the consent of the ceremony hall, he was punished by copying the "Thirteen Classics" a hundred times and was fined one million taels of silver."

Gao Mo then said: "Do you have any objections?"

Countless eyes looked at Zong Ganyu, Lei Tingzhen and Qingjun.

Even those who were enemies of Fang Yun felt that this sentence was quite fair. After all, Fang Yun was a virtual saint, and being exiled thousands of miles away for several years was really not a slight.

On the contrary, those who support Fang Yun are somewhat dissatisfied, because even if an ordinary person accidentally kills another person, as long as he surrenders and obtains the forgiveness of his family, he will be exiled for up to seven years.

Qingjun looked at the other two people motionless, while Zong Ganyu looked at Lei Tingzhen.

Lei Tingzhen hesitated for a while and said: "The punishments of the Penal Palace and the Li Palace are fair, and the Lei family has no objection."

"Zong has no objections," Zong Ganyu said.

"Qingguo has no objection." Qingjun said.

After a few breaths, Gao Mo said: "Since you all have no objections, as long as Fang Xusheng does not object, the case will be settled."

Everyone looked up at Fang Yun on the Yueyang Tower.

"I have no objections. Please ask Mr. Gaoge, Mr. Wuge and Mr. Zongge to issue a joint document for Dongsheng Pavilion, Xingdian and Lidian." Fang Yun answered neatly.

Afterwards, Gao Mo drafted a document on the spot, and then the three cabinet ministers stamped their official seals on the back of the document, making the document effective immediately.

Gao Mo flicked the document and it flew into the air and landed in front of Fang Yun.

Fang Yun stretched out his hand to take it. After reading it, he nodded lightly and said: "I will obey the punishment of the Holy Court. I will complete the punishment of the Ceremony Palace within a limited time. As for the punishment of the Penal Palace, because it does not involve major crimes such as reverse seeding, I will The saint has the right to use his military merits to offset the punishment. In addition, starting from today, all Zhang Longxiang’s military merits will be transferred to this saint’s name. Please handle it as soon as possible.”

When Fang Yun finished speaking, the people of Jingguo were overjoyed. It turned out that Fang Yun had been prepared for it.

Some of those who hated Fang Yun had known that this would be the outcome and didn't care. What they cared about was Lei Chongmo's case. Others were so angry that they cursed in a low voice when they saw this outcome.

Li Fanming smiled and said: "I have known that Fang Yunhui would do this for a long time. The number of military achievements he obtained in Liangjie Mountain is a miracle, and it is already comparable to the lifetime military achievements of several ordinary scholars."

"The military merit required to offset this crime is only a drop in the bucket for Fang Yun. If Ge Yiming knew about it, he would definitely be angry to death again. His death is really worthless."

"It's good to be a virtual saint..."

"Nonsense, it's better to be a half-saint."

Amid everyone's discussion, Ge Yiming's death ended here.

Ge Yiming's friends during his lifetime went to the forum and criticized him on the forum, full of grief and indignation.

"A dignified Jinshi was killed, and the murderer didn't even serve a day in jail. This is outrageous!"

"Even if Fang Xusheng apologizes to Ge Yiming, I won't be so angry. Look at him, as if he had killed a chicken, without any regret at all. Human Xusheng, so cold-blooded, makes It’s heartbreaking.”

"Ji Zhibai was killed. It was because Ji Zhibai sought death himself. But Ge Yiming only had a verbal conflict with Fang Yun. His crime does not lead to death!"

"We will definitely seek justice for Ge Yiming!"

"Not only Ge Yiming, but Ge Wanwan has also been taken away, so he will definitely suffer."

But at the cultural meeting, no one dared to attack Fang Yun.

Ge Yiming's fate is vivid in his mind.

Zong Ganyu said with spring thunder in his tongue: "The matter of Ge Yiming is over. Let's ask the Xingdian and Lidian to express their views on Fang Yun's killing of Lei Chongmo. Today, Fang Yun has personally admitted that he killed Lei Chongmo. Bai All people can testify!”
