The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Lian Huan straightened his neck and shouted like an upright censor: "I don't accept the punishment from the county lord! It is my duty to give advice, what's wrong with that? Your judgment is unfair!"

At the same time, several officials stepped forward half a step, gathered together, and stared at Fang Yun, with a faint intention of joining forces to fight.

Fang Yun remained calm, his eyes swept over everyone, and recorded everyone's subtle movements.

Some took a step, some took half a step, some raised their feet and hesitated, some stood still, some had a playful and mocking expression... Everything was seen by Fang Yun.

The private soldiers behind Fang Yun were annoyed, and saw a black-clothed scholar in his twenties stepped forward and shouted: "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of the Void Saint!"

The speaker was Fang Yun's cousin Fang Yingwu, who loved the red-light district the most, but was also full of knowledge and was ready to hone his skills for a few years before participating in the Jinshi exam.

"There is no Xu Sheng here, only the officials of Ning'an County. Outsiders are not allowed to interrupt!" Lian Huan rebuked without any politeness.

Fang Yingwu sneered: "I am the staff of Fang County Magistrate, and I have the right to make suggestions on government affairs!"

"This is an important matter for the county, you step down!" said the Dianshi Lian Huan.

Although Fang Yingwu was a juren, he had no official position in Ning'an County, so he could only step back half a step and said: "If anyone dares to disrespect Fang Xu Sheng, as a juren, I also have the right to make suggestions!"

Lian Huan looked directly at Fang Yun again, bowed his hands, and said: "Please give me a reasonable reason, Lord Fang, what kind of big mistake did I make to write a confession. If you can't give me an explanation, I will go to the capital to file a complaint!"

Lian Huan took a step forward, and many officials followed him, and the atmosphere in the county office suddenly became tense.

Nu Nu arched his back, and a whimpering sound came from his throat, like a kitten with its fur standing up, as if facing a great enemy, and glared at the officials of Ning'an County.

Ao Huang wanted to scatter the officials with a dragon roar, but this was the county government office. Before leaving, Fang Yun repeatedly and sternly warned him not to interfere in the palace examination, otherwise it would most likely lead to a reduction in his rating.

The moment Fang Yun stepped into Ning'an County, the palace examination had already begun!

Ao Huang was so anxious that he scratched his head and stared at Fang Yun, not knowing what he was up to.

Fang Yun had a blank expression on his face and a very cold look. He did not look at Lian Huan, but looked at the blank space behind the stone tablet of the warning. He said slowly: "When I saw the blank space of the stone tablet of the warning, I suddenly thought that the stone tablet of the warning was so important that leaving it blank would be a waste of natural resources. I was ready to think of a few words to fill the blank, but I never thought that I would be interrupted by Shen Zhubu."

The officials who were originally aggressive were all stunned, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on their heads. Their momentum was immediately reduced to less than 10%. Fang Yun's words were very mysterious!

This is the stone tablet of the warning, and the front is the holy words of Xunzi. Fang Yun wants to fill the blank. Either he is crazy or he has enough support.

Regardless of whether Fang Yun could leave the words on the stone tablet in the end, his behavior was very important. Not to mention that the chief clerk Shen Ming interrupted him, even if the higher-ranking Transportation Department Chief Geng Ge interrupted him, Fang Yun had the right to rebuke him.

It can even be said that Fang Yun was exploring the holy way!

A trace of regret flashed across Lian Huan's face, and then he didn't know what he remembered. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Fang used the stone tablet as an excuse to accuse us of a crime that we didn't have. It's despicable."

Fang Yun's face was stern, full of the power of the head of a county. He said, "I just thought of sixteen words, but was interrupted by the chief clerk Shen and obstructed by the clerk Lian. I almost forgot them. Fortunately, I am a determined writer and finally remembered them. Then I will write them in public."

"Hmph!" Lian Huan snorted coldly.

"Come on, bring a table!"

"Yes!" The county yamen runners hurried away and returned soon, bringing a large table with the four treasures of the study on it.

Yang Yuhuan immediately stepped forward to grind ink for Fang Yun.

Fang Yun chose a wolf-hair brush with harder bristles, dipped it in ink, and wrote in one go.

"Your salary is the blood and sweat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive the gods!"

As soon as the sixteen words were written, a bright yellow light surged from Fang Yun's body, which suddenly changed Fang Yun's aura, making him look both dignified and generous.

Everyone was stunned. They did not expect such a strange phenomenon to happen. Moreover, these sixteen words had great momentum, like commanding the world and warning all officials.

At this moment, Fang Yun had the power of a king!

Lian Huan frightened Wen Gong slightly, because after just one glance, he felt as if a king was standing in the sky, looking down, and warning him that the income of officials was earned by the people with their blood and sweat. You think the people at the bottom are easy to bully, but you can't hide it from the gods!

The whole piece of paper suddenly flew up, and then the sixteen black characters turned into light gold, broke away from the paper, and flew into the air.

The sixteen words shook at the same time, and suddenly formed a loud dragon roar that pierced through the clouds and cracked rocks, spreading across thousands of miles.

Within thousands of miles, everyone instinctively lowered their heads, because everyone felt that a solemn voice descended from the end of the sky, reciting these sixteen words.

Lian Huan was completely shocked.

"Dragon... Dragon Roar Imperial Edict? This... Isn't this a strange phenomenon that only appears when the monarch issues an important imperial edict?"

The eyes of the officials in Ning'an County were dull. Shen Ming, the chief clerk who interrupted Fang Yun before, shrank his neck in fear, thinking that fortunately he didn't say anything excessive. It was Lian Huan who was aggressive. Otherwise, just based on the crime of stopping the Dragon Roar Imperial Edict, even the left prime minister couldn't save him.

Many officials who were originally following Lian Huan took a step back, looking at Lian Huan with pity at the same time. When the Dragon Roar Imperial Edict came out, Lian Huan's behavior was almost disobeying the order, and it was equivalent to disobeying an extremely important imperial edict.

It would not be a big deal for a university scholar to disobey the imperial edict. At most he could resign. But if a mere scholar disobeyed the imperial edict, the consequences would be disastrous.

After the sixteen pale golden characters stayed in the sky for a moment, they suddenly flew to the stone tablet like a young swallow returning to its nest!

The sixteen characters were imprinted on the back of the stone tablet.

Your salary is the fat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive the gods!

Buzz...

There is a stone tablet with "Public Prosperity" written on it in the county, prefectural and state offices in all parts of the Ten Kingdoms, but now, all the tablets resonate!

Buzz...

Afterwards, each stone tablet spread the Dragon Yin Imperial Edict in all directions. The officials and people of the Ten Kingdoms heard it clearly, and everyone naturally knew that it was the work of the Void Saint Fang Yun.

"Lian Huan, do you know your crime!" Fang Yun's tone was obviously very peaceful, but surrounded by the bright yellow light, his voice echoed with the Dragon Yin Imperial Edict, full of supreme majesty, as if he was the king of the world.

Lian Huan wanted to grit his teeth and not speak, but a mighty force descended upon him, causing his body to tremble, and he lowered his head, involuntarily surrendering, saying, "I... know my crime."

"It's good that you know your crime. Come, take off his official seal, and let the 'General Secretary of the Rites' temporarily take over the post of Dianshi!"

Lian Huan was very unwilling and wanted to fight, but when he saw two ten-foot-tall horse barbarians coming over, he was so scared that his legs went limp.

The two barbarians were burning with dark evil spirits. Once they started, except for the old general Ding Haosheng who could stop them, the rest of the Ning'an County officials present would be killed within thirty breaths.

The two horse barbarians were not docile little beasts. One of them stretched out his big hand to grab the official seal on Lian Huan's waist, and pulled it hard. With a swish, Lian Huan's coat was torn off.

The officials of Ning'an County turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at him. He was almost as miserable as Geng Ge who had fainted before.

It was not until this moment that they realized that Fang Yun was luring the snake out of its hole!
