A large hole appeared in Ji Zhibai's shoulder. His body slowly fell forward and landed on the steps with a thud. Large amounts of blood gushed out.
There was a deathly silence in front of the Ning An County yamen.
No one expected that Fang Yun would use such a violent method to end Ji Zhibai after tolerating him for so long.
Fang Yun stood in front of Ji Zhibai's corpse. He raised his head slightly and stood proudly.
"During the literary competition, Ji Zhibai and I fought because of personal feelings. It was harmless. One must have some impulsiveness and bravery to be worthy of being called a scholar. In the imperial court, it was a battle of interests. We fought back and forth, relying on our own abilities. There was no regret in winning or losing. After knowing of my death, he colluded with people from other countries to steal my ancestral property. I can forgive him. In order to damage my reputation, he used all kinds of methods to prevent my poems and essays from being spread. I can forgive him, but … "
Fang Yun suddenly stopped and looked around like an eagle watching a wolf. His eyes seemed to have the power to judge all living things.
No one dared to look him in the eye.
Finally, Fang Yun lowered his head and looked at Ji Zhibai's corpse.
"You can embezzle the workshop, you can please the bureaucrats, you can take their credit for your own use, you can attack me as your political enemy. However, you slandered the painstaking efforts of the Gong Family. You are harming the source of the human race's progress. This is breaking the backbone of a country. This is burying the human race. This is as cruel and tyrannical as the demons and barbarians! I can forgive you, but the heavens cannot! "
Boom …
A deafening thunder suddenly appeared in the sky. It was as if the heavens were angry.
After that, Fang Yun flicked his sleeves and said with disgust, "Throw this filthy bastard into the mass grave and hang his corpse there for three days. Release all the officials imprisoned by Ji Zhibai. All the officials who helped Ji Zhibai in his evil deeds will be stripped of their official robes and interrogated severely! As for you … are the new magistrate of the Green Crow Residence? "
Fei Chang bowed and used his sleeves to wipe his sweat. He replied humbly, "I am the new magistrate of the Green Crow Residence, Fei Chang …"
"You can't absolve yourself from the blame for what happened in the Green Crow Residence these days. Tomorrow, send a memorial to the cabinet to ask for forgiveness. Resign and serve your sentence." Fang Yun didn't even look at Fei Chang. He walked into the yamen.
"Thank … you, Lord Xusheng for your grace!" Fei Chang's expression.
He was incomparably sorrowful. He barely managed to become a Grand Scholar. After years of mediocrity, he finally became the head of a prefecture. Now that he had to resign after three days, the title of prefect of a prefecture would definitely be mocked by future generations.
He was also very glad that he was just an insignificant Grand Scholar after all. He was not worthy of Fang Yun personally targeting him. As long as he honestly wrote down his crimes, no matter whether it was the Left Minister's party or the opposing forces, they would not pursue him fiercely. At most, they would confiscate his family property and could not be an official for the rest of his life.
Fang Yun walked to the door of the yamen. He lifted his foot in the air and suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at the people on the street.
These people also looked at Fang Yun. Some were happy. Some were happy, some were relaxed, some were admiring, some were excited, and so on.
Fang Yun smiled faintly and said, "Bensei has something important to discuss. It concerns the fate of the entire Ning An City. This yamen is too small and can't accommodate too many people. All the scholars who came from other places to help Ning An City, all the scholars of Ning An City. All the officials of Ning An City, including the village head, follow me to the County Wen Yuan. "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he stepped down the stairs and walked towards the county's Wenyuan.
The officials and scholars hurriedly followed behind. They followed Fang Yun to the County Wen Yuan.
Along the way, everyone greeted Fang Yun, their faces brimming with joy that came from the bottom of their hearts.
Ning An City finally had a festive atmosphere!
Outside Ning An City, before Zhang Poyue's carriage entered the gate, Guan Yin received news about Fang Yun. He even knew that Ji Zhibai was dead.
"Help in the midst of a snowstorm. It's hard to take a step forward. Let's go back to the army! "
Zhang Poyue's Armored Ox Carriage suddenly turned around and sped toward the north.
Fang Yun had only walked five blocks when a white dragon descended from the sky.
There was a white cloud under each of the dragon's four claws. It floated in the sky and looked down at Fang Yun. Its eyes were full of coldness.
Fang Yun stopped and looked up at Dragon King Zhenhai. "Ao Cang, we meet again."
Fang Yun didn't hide his killing intent.
Mitani Lien Chan. Ao Cang wasn't the mastermind, but he was the first accomplice.
Dark clouds rolled in the sky and strong winds blew. Ning An City seemed to be in the middle of a storm.
Ao Cang said angrily, "I've already promised Mount Liu to bring Ji Zhibai to see him. How am I supposed to explain this now?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Fang Yun asked.
"Why don't you even give me some face? It's just a Jinshi. Isn't my name 'Dragon King Zhenhai' worth the life of a Jinshi? "
"Why don't you even give Bensei some face and question him in front of everyone? It's just taking the life of a Jinshi. I'm 'Xusheng Fang Yun' and 'Wen Xing Long Jue'. Isn't my name worth the 'Dragon King Zhenhai'? "Fang Yun said with a hint of mockery.
Ao Cang stared blankly at Fang Yun. His anger disappeared and he was speechless. It was as if he was admitting that Fang Yun's words made more sense.
Seeing Ao Cang's expression, many scholars lowered their heads and laughed secretly. If Ao Cang's logic was valid, then Fang Yun's words would be impeccable. There was no doubt that Dragon King Zhenhai had more face than Fang Yun. In front of the leader of the scholars, Ao Cang couldn't even be angry.
"Stupid dragon," Yang Xuantong said in a low voice.
Ao Cang tilted his head and stared at Fang Yun for a while. Then he gathered his courage and said, "First come, first served. I asked you to stop first!"
"No, I wanted to kill him first. You came later. If you had come before I killed him, I would have given you face because of your name 'Dragon King Zhenhai', "Fang Yun said seriously.
Ao Cang fell silent again. Fang Yun's words made sense.
Many of the scholars laughed in their hearts.
Ao Cang's expression fluctuated, but in the end, he swallowed all his dissatisfaction and anger back into his stomach and said seriously, "This King will represent the West Sea Dragon Sage to ask, Fang Yun, why did you leave the Bloodawn Ancient Land before three months had passed?"
"I've already found the fragment of the Dragonslaying Saber."
"Where are the fragments of the Dragonslaying Saber?"
"It's in the Bloodlight Ancient Land."
Ao Cang was taken aback. Fang Yun's words were very reasonable, but he still felt that something was amiss.
Ao Cang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why didn't you bring the fragment of the Dragonslaying Saber to the Holy Origin Continent?"
"Your Dragon Palace didn't give me anything to store the fragment of the Dragonslaying Saber," Fang Yun replied sincerely.
Ao Cang thought for a long time before finally coming to a realization. He would never be able to outtalk the scholars, especially the elites among the scholars.
Ao Cang cut to the chase. "You don't have the fragment of the Dragonslaying Saber, and you didn't stay in the Bloodlight Ancient Land for three months. You've failed, and the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas will strip you of your title of Wen Xing Long Jue!"
"Ao Cang, I suggest that you return to the Dragon Palace of the West Sea and consult the Dragon Sage of the West Sea. You only told me to find the fragment of the Dragonslaying Saber, not to bring it back to the Holy Origin Continent. You'll only embarrass the Dragons if you continue to pester me. "
"Grandpa Dragon Sage is in seclusion …" Ao Cang wanted to say something else, but he suddenly shut his mouth.
"If that's the case, I'll wait for news from the other Dragon Palaces. If you don't have anything else to say, you can leave now. I have some matters to attend to," Fang Yun said.
Ao Cang thought for a long time and realized that there was no point in staying here, so he nodded and flew toward the West Sea.
