Fang Yun's eyes flashed with surprise. If it were a small matter, Wang Tongfu, as the Pavilion Elder of the Dongsheng Pavilion, would not have mentioned it. But he did. In the beginning, he said that it was neither too big nor too small, but in the end, he said that he must not ruin his future. Perhaps it was because it involved the court examination, so Wang Tongfu could only use this method to remind him.
Fang Yun naturally would not make things difficult for Wang Tongfu, so he did not mention it. Instead, he stood up and smiled. "I have the court examination to attend, so I cannot stay at the Notre-Dame. Farewell."
"That's good. Fang Xusheng, hold the official seal in your hand. Just say 'return to Jingguo' and you will reach the capital. Once you reach there, the relevant attendants will send you back to Ning An City."
After Fang Yun left, the Great Confucians stood in the War Hall.
"Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat. He is far more mature than the rumors say. He doesn't seem like a young man at all."
"Just now, when Brother Tongfu spoke, he did not ask a single question. It seems that he is a shrewd person who can keep his composure."
"Let's stop celebrating Mitani Lien Chan's victory."
"We can't let Fang Xusheng feel bitterly disappointed. He doesn't care about this honor."
"He … if possible, is willing to give up this honor in exchange for the lives of those people …"
Fang Yun returned to the Ban Family through the Confucius Literary World. Without stopping, he rode the Great Confucian's' Meteoric Rise 'to Ning An City under the protection of the Disciplinary Hall and War Hall.
On the way, Fang Yun read the letters that had accumulated over the past few days.
Most of them were encouraging him, while a small portion had just sent today. Some asked about Mitani Lien Chan's battle situation, while others already knew that he had won and had successfully destroyed the Shadow Void Divine Liquid.
Those who were most well-informed even felt sorry for him. They thought that two drops were enough for the families of the scholars who had died in battle. There was no need to give them so much.
Fang Yun naturally did not say much. The stalactite and stone pool that produced the Shadow Void Divine Liquid were both in the World of Wondrous Books, and they were slowly forming Shadow Void Divine Liquid. Due to the many years of blood sacrifice by the demons and barbarians, this stalactite could still produce ten years of high-quality Divine Liquid of Shadow Void, with a total of more than a thousand drops.
When the power of the blood sacrifice was exhausted, the stalactite could only produce ordinary Shadow Void Divine Liquid, unless it was supplemented by other power.
Very soon. When Fang Yun saw the letters sent by the Ning An County Deputy and his aides, he knew what the Great Scholar Wang Tongfu wanted.
In the wee hours of the morning, more than ten villagers from Changxi Village arrived at Ning An County and sounded the grievance drum. It was said that two bailiffs from Ning An County failed to kidnap a woman and killed her. The villagers of Changxi Village couldn't stand it and beat them to death. Now, the villagers had come to the county government to seek justice. They wanted the families of the two county officials to pay with their lives and money.
The actual situation was … Wang Xiaocui, a 17-year-old girl from Ning An City, was abducted and sold to Changxi Village. When the bailiffs went to rescue her, they were not only beaten to death by the villagers, but also hanged at the entrance of the village.
Early this morning, the entire Ning An City and even the entire Mi Province were shaken. Because the Court Examination had attracted the attention of the entire world, this matter was also spread by people who were interested in it. It was even discussed on the rankings.
"Changxi Village …"
Everything about Changxi Village quickly appeared in Fang Yun's mind.
Changxi Village was located at the junction of Ning An County, Tong County, and Coral County. The three counties had been fighting for this place for many years. At first, they all claimed that it was their own territory and refused to give in to each other. Later, they all let go and no one cared. Over time, it became a famous place where the three counties didn't manage. It was too late for the counties to manage, so they could only give up.
Changxi Village was already famous for being poor. Without the management of the three counties, it became even more impolite.
Changxi Village was very poor and had a bad reputation. The men in the village couldn't find a wife. They could only find human traffickers. Later, many people in Changxi Village started a human trafficking business. After a long time, Changxi Village became a famous human trafficking village.
And those who didn't like Changxi Village left the village one by one.
In the Saint Origin Continent, human trafficking was allowed to a certain extent. For example, parents could sell their daughters to other families. However, human trafficking was prohibited.
In the past, there was a county magistrate of Ning An County who wanted to manage Changxi Village. In the end, not only were the bailiffs sent back, but Changxi Village also sent hundreds of old, young, sick, and disabled people to sit outside the county office. As a result, the county magistrate's prestige was ruined and he had to pay a sum of money and be transferred out of Ning An County.
From then on, Changxi Village became more and more rampant.
With the previous county magistrate as an example, the county magistrates of the three counties didn't care about Changxi Village.
A few days ago, there were people from Ning An County who were kidnapped and sold by Changxi Village. Fang Yun had been ordering bailiffs to investigate and finally pointed to Changxi Village.
Fang Yun knew that there was a big problem with that village. It was simply a barrel of gunpowder. However, as the county magistrate, he had to send people to deal with the case. After the two bailiffs arrived at Changxi Village, their efforts were in vain and they returned in embarrassment.
Fang Yun was very busy at that time. He asked the office to investigate the buyer first and temporarily put the matter of Changxi Village on hold.
Just a few days ago, before going to Notre-Dame, Fang Yun explained the case. After the investigation of the buyer, he would go to Changxi Village again.
Just yesterday, the two bailiffs were eager to perform meritorious deeds and entered Changxi Village again.
The bailiffs thought that the people of Changxi Village would be more honest after Fang Yun summoned the Yellow Dragon of Destruction to kill the Dragon King. However, the news in Changxi Village was closed. Except for a few scholars, most people didn't know about it. Even if they knew, they mostly treated it as a story.
Seeing that the two bailiffs dared to come again, the villagers of Changxi Village caught them and imprisoned them.
In the early morning, Wang Xiaocui, who was kidnapped, knew that the bailiffs were there to save her. She knocked out the man who bought her and tried to find the place where the bailiffs were imprisoned.
However, the three of them were discovered before they could escape from the village and were beaten to death by the villagers who came to inquire about them.
The family who bought Wang Xiaocui arrived at Ning An County that night to sue the bailiffs.
Fang Yingwu and other aides wrote it clearly in the letter.
After reading it, Fang Yun sat on the Flyleaf Airship and gently tapped the paper with his index finger. His face was cold.
On the afternoon of the ninth of October, the Flyleaf Airship arrived at Ning An County Town and went straight to the back office.
Fang Yun was not in a hurry to handle the case. First, he chatted with Yang Yuhuan and other family members. After talking for a full hour, he changed into the Hanlin uniform given by the Notre-Dame and walked to the main hall of the county government.
Like the Hanlin uniform, the Jinshi uniform was white. However, the Jinshi uniform had a sword embroidered on the collar, while the Hanlin uniform had plum blossoms.
As soon as Fang Yun walked out of the back office, many officials of Ning An County had already gathered there and hurriedly greeted and congratulated him.
Fang Yun first accepted their congratulations and then asked them to leave on the pretext of handling the case. However, Tao Dingnian said, "Your Excellency, you defeated nine demons and destroyed Mitani Lien Chan by yourself. It is the fortune of the Human Tribe. Today, we will hold a banquet to celebrate your victory."
"Let's talk about it after the seventh day." Fang Yun looked coldly at Tao Dingnian and walked straight to the main hall of the county government.
All the officials present felt extremely awkward and stood there for a long time without daring to speak.
An old official complained, "I told you not to congratulate him. Fang Xusheng hates banquets."
"This is not about the banquet at all! Didn't you hear what Lord Fang said? It will be after the seventh day. So many people died in Mitani Lien Chan. Who would be in the mood to celebrate? "
"He said it will be after the seventh day, but he was actually giving us face. He didn't say that he didn't want to celebrate. Sigh, I would rather he scold us. It's bad enough that we couldn't help Fang Xusheng, but we actually caused him trouble. "
"Notre-Dame's people are smart. Mitani Lien Chan won a total victory. No matter how many people died, they should be congratulated and let the world know to encourage the Human Tribe. But it was County Magistrate Fang who did it. They are afraid that he will be unhappy, so they won't celebrate. "
"Fang Xusheng is indeed different from others. In the whole world, he is probably the only one who won't take the bloodshed as his own and take pride in it. He also won't use it as a ladder for promotion and wealth. "
"He may not be a perfect person, but he is truly a good person."
"Right, let's hurry to the main hall. Today's case is too important. Deputy Tao, did you warn County Magistrate Fang? "
"I did. I told him clearly about what happened in Changxi Village. Don't worry, County Magistrate Fang won't miss the court examination!"
"Do you think it was Minister Zuo who did this?"
The expressions of many of the officials changed. Although Fang Yun had already purged the officials of Ning An County, half of the officials still used to be the Left Minister's henchmen. It could be seen how deeply rooted the Left Minister's power was in Mishou.
"Impossible. Although Minister Zuo sees Fang Xusheng as his enemy, when Fang Xusheng went to Mitani Lien Chan, he would never do something like this. Ji Zhibai might have done it, but he is not the same as before. If he did something like this, we would have known! "an Old Show said.
Many of Minister Zuo's former henchmen expressed their support.
Fang Yingwu thought for a moment and understood. The Old Show was right. If Ji Zhibai still dared to be in Ning An County, he would have been exposed a long time ago.
The Ning An County of today was not the same as half a year ago. The Minister Zuo's former henchmen were already convinced by Fang Yun.
"This case is complicated. The court examination is about to end. Fang Xusheng will probably delay it. When the results of the court examination are out, he will either hand it over to the next county magistrate or handle it himself," Tao Dingnian said.
"That should be the case. Let's go and see County Magistrate Fang try the case."
Fang Yingwu followed the crowd, but he was worried. He realized that Fang Yun had only been away from Ning An County for a few days, but his demeanor had changed. Now, other than the slight sadness in Fang Yun's eyes, there was a sense of decisiveness that was not there before!
Fang Yingwu suspected that if it had been a few months ago, Fang Yun might have used a gentler method. But now, he would not compromise!
As an experienced advisor, Fang Yingwu believed in his own judgment.
Before long, Fang Yun was in court.
Fang Yun sat on the county magistrate's large chair. Just like before, he called all the victims to the court and listened to them cry about the case.
One of them, Diao Nengchen, cried the most miserably.
"Xiao Cui and I have been married for a year. She had just given birth to a baby for me. He was still breastfeeding when he was killed by two bailiffs! Sir, I heard that you can slay a dragon with one hand. You must uphold justice for me. "
There were no tears in Diao Nengchen's eyes. As he spoke, he hugged the child and secretly pinched him until he screamed.
"Look at my poor son. He lost his mother at such a young age. How is the Diao family going to live in the future …"
"Sir, you must avenge my daughter-in-law!" An old woman sat cross-legged on the floor and cried loudly. Her tears were full.
