The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism
Chapter 933 Obstruction
Chapter 933 A mob
Fang Yun sat behind the desk, thinking.
Whether it was the prime minister of a country or the saint of the human race, people at their level no longer needed evidence to do things, they only needed an excuse.
There was a noise outside the door.
Fang Yun looked up and saw that in the midday sun, nearly a hundred officials wearing student clothes, scholar clothes, juren clothes or jinshi clothes were walking towards the door. These people had serious faces, held their heads high, and had a spirit of pointing out the world and swearing.
Several jinshi walked in front.
County Magistrate Tao Dingnian stood outside the main hall, bowed to Fang Yun, and said: "Meet County Magistrate Fang!"
"Meet County Magistrate Fang!" Nearly a hundred people greeted in unison, full of energy, almost overturning the entire county government.
Ao Huang glared and knew that a good show was about to begin.
When Shen Ming saw these officials coming, his eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "Thank you all for coming to rescue me at the risk of losing your jobs. You have sent me kindness, and I will return it with justice one day! I am grateful for your kindness!"
"It's all what we should do!" said Wen Gu, the county magistrate.
Shen Ming nodded and said, "You are all so righteous and fearless of power. I will remember it in my heart!"
Pah...
Fang Yun slapped the gavel and said, "What are you doing outside the hall?"
The sound of the gavel was like a cold wind, which made everyone tremble and clear their minds, but when they thought that the left prime minister was still there, they put all their worries behind them.
Tao Dingnian bowed to Fang Yun and said, "I, Tao Dingnian, and my colleagues in Ning'an County, implore the county magistrate to show mercy, put aside personal grudges, and deal with Shen Zhubu fairly to clear his name!"
"Oh," Fang Yun lowered his eyes slightly and said, holding the official seal, "So, Tao County Magistrate, you gathered the officials of this county to the door of the hall to force me to change my mind?"
"Your Excellency is wrong. I did not gather them, but the officials came here voluntarily. It was not coercion, but only persuasion!" Tao Dingnian said.
Fang Yun's eyelids were still lowered, and he said: "If there is any fault in this county, the prefects and governors below can reprimand it, the censors and cabinet can impeach it, and the holy court can arrest it. You are forcing yourself to remonstrate in court, which is really an act of usurpation. Do you know your crime?"
The county court official Wen Gu said loudly: "Your Excellency is wrong. We are all scholars. If the superiors make mistakes, we should advise them. If we ignore it, it will be a disgrace to the character of scholars."
Fang Yun then raised his eyelids and looked straight ahead. His eyes were like swords, which made all the officials feel a slight pain in their eyes.
"In other words, you think that I am wrong? Very good! Then if I am not wrong, can you voluntarily accept the punishment?" Fang Yun's face was stern, as majestic as the sky.
The officials showed doubts, and no one answered.
Fang Yun's face showed a hint of sarcasm, and he said, "A bunch of sand and dirt, a mob! They claim to be upright, but they don't have a backbone. They look like slaves, which disgusts me! Get out of here, don't block the sunshine in front of the hall!" Nearly a hundred faces turned red and purple in an instant, and more than a hundred eyes almost burst. Even the yamen runners and recorders who had nothing to do with it felt their blood boiling. Fang Yun's humiliating words were too much. County Court Lord Wen Gu said angrily, "County Magistrate Fang, you are too harsh! If you have made mistakes, we can point them out. If we have made mistakes, you can also reprimand us. Why do you humiliate us like this!" "To commit crimes against superiors, to reverse the principles and norms, to gather people to make strong remonstrations, is not a fault, but a crime! I don't have time to teach babies to speak. I only ask one question, are you going to retreat or not?" Fang Yun raised his chin slightly, as if he was in the clouds, looking down at ants, and did not hide his contempt for the officials. "What if I retreat? What if I don't retreat? We are not only your subordinates, Fang Yun, but also scholars of Dajing Kingdom."
"Since you know that you are my subordinates, it's good. If you don't retreat now, then stay here!" Fang Yun said.
Shen Ming sneered and said, "Don't be scared by him. If he dares to touch you, it will inevitably cause bloodshed in the government office, which will be enough to make him the public enemy of officials in the world. As for the department of civil service, he will definitely be the last one, and his reputation will spread far and wide!"
Fang Yun suddenly showed a strange smile on his face. Looking at Shen Ming, he slowly said, "I just learned from the capital that the wife of Liu Mingzhi, the second son of Prime Minister Liu, had a miscarriage, and the twins were lost. I have sent a letter to the Liu Mansion, hoping that the Liu family will mourn."
Many officials were puzzled, and even Ao Huang tilted his head and looked at Fang Yun curiously.
The little ink girl in the inkstone pool on the table emerged from the water and looked at Fang Yun curiously. Even the mist butterfly sleeping on Fang Yun's shoulder gently flapped its wings twice.
Why did Fang Yun say all this?
Only Shen Ming's eyes flashed with an inexplicable panic.
Fang Yun continued: "After investigation, it was found that it was Liu Mingzhi's concubine Lanxiang who poisoned."
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
"Lanxiang? Isn't Lanxiang the niece of Shen Zhubu?"
"Yes! Could it be someone with the same name?"
"Impossible, how could the second young master Liu take two concubines with the same name!"
"Oh my God, that means it was Shen Zhubu's niece who killed the grandchildren of Lord Zuo Xiang?"
"A few days ago, I heard rumors in Beijing that Lord Zuo Xiang was extremely happy when he heard the news of twins. He didn't even notice that his heels fell off when he was wearing wooden shoes across the threshold. Lanxiang is courting death!"
"Don't think about it, Lanxiang will die, and even his family will be implicated! Who knows if her family is in collusion with her!"
In just a dozen breaths, the officials analyzed the matter clearly.
Shen Ming's legs couldn't stop shaking.
If he offended Fang Yun, he would lose his job at most, but if he offended Liu Shan, the consequences would be disastrous. Liu Shan's methods of dealing with his enemies were unimaginably cruel, which was one of the main reasons why the officials in Mizhou didn't dare to betray him.
In Mizhou, there are few officials who don't know Liu Shan's methods of dealing with political enemies.
Fang Yun slammed the gavel and said, "People outside the hall, this county is investigating the accomplices who murdered the second young master's wife of the Liu family. Do you think I am wrong?"
The officials of the left prime minister's party were like dumb people eating bitter gourds, unable to speak out their grievances. Who dared to speak at this time?
Fang Yun continued to ask, "Now, who else is so righteous that he is willing to help Shen Zhubu clear his grievances?"
The hall continued to be silent.
Shen Ming suddenly shouted like crazy, "Don't listen to him, he is talking nonsense! Those reports are all made up by him! My niece Lanxiang is so well-behaved, it is impossible for her to murder the second young master's wife! Absolutely impossible! If you don't believe me, I will send a letter to ask Master Ji in public. My relationship with Master Ji has always been very good, and we are as close as brothers! Look, I will send a letter in public!"
Fang Yun smiled and relaxed the restrictions on Shen Ming's official seal.
Shen Ming held the official seal in his hand, and a large piece of text appeared in front of him out of thin air, forming a text message with the air as paper. The text suddenly condensed into a wild goose and flew into Shen Ming's official seal.
"Wait a little longer, Master Ji will definitely give me an answer! Definitely!"
The officials looked at Shen Ming half-believingly.
Soon, a wild goose flew out of Shen Ming's official seal, and finally turned into a big word floating in the air.
Get out!
Shen Ming stared at the huge "get out" and was stunned.
