Fang Yun and Dong Wencong led the officials of Baling City to the southern gate and waited for the special envoy of the Punishment Hall.
Before the envoy arrived, Fang Yun, Dong Wencong, Fang Shouye, and a few others talked in low voices. The other officials also gathered together and talked in low voices.
During the conversation, Fang Yun looked at the people around him and found that other than the director of the Bureau of Rites, Nie Changju, and a few minor officials, most of the people from the Bureau of Rites were not present. Previously, they used the excuse of being busy.
Fang Yun did not say anything. Clearly, someone had tipped them off. However, this was a good thing for him.
Soon, a white cloud appeared in the sky and an old man wearing the uniform of the Punishment Hall's Grand Scholar quickly descended.
Fang Yun looked carefully. This person was the Grand Scholar of the Han Feizi Clan, Han Zhengyang. He thought that the people of the Punishment Hall were not all old-fashioned. Everyone knew that he had a close relationship with the Han Feizi Clan. Just the fact that he had helped the Han Clan find the lost volume of the Holy Bible, Han Feizi, was enough for the Han Clan to remember for a hundred generations.
Fang Yun had met this Han Zhengyang when he visited the various families in Kong City. This person was Han Shoulu's second uncle. They had a pleasant conversation when they met.
Although Fang Yun was Xusheng, Han Zhengyang represented the Punishment Hall and Notre-Dame. The moment Han Zhengyang landed, Fang Yun stepped forward and cupped his hands, "The Special Envoy of the Punishment Hall has graced Xiang Province with your presence."
The other officials did not dare to cup their hands. They all bowed ninety degrees. Even Nie Changju, who wanted to cause trouble for Fang Yun the most, did not dare to slight him.
Han Zhengyang was expressionless. He cupped his hands and said, "This old man greets Fang Xusheng! Everyone, please do not be overly courteous. This Old Man is only here to carry out the duties of the Punishment Hall. There is no need for any welcome. Everyone, please disperse. Fang Xusheng, Governor Dong, and Governor Fang, please lead the way and assist the Punishment Hall in investigating the matter of the Xiang Province Gazette. "
The officials present all had different expressions. No one dared to speak. They all stared at Han Zhengyang.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Dare I ask Grand Scholar Han, is this Xiangzhou Court Bulletin under the name of the Notre-Dame?"
With Fang Yun's words, not only were the ordinary officials shocked, even Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye turned pale with fright. Fang Yun's tone was very ordinary, but his intention was too obvious. He was questioning the jurisdiction of the Notre-Dame or the Punishment Hall!
Although the great Xusheng could question the Punishment Hall, it was not necessary. If he were to go against the Punishment Hall or even the Notre-Dame, things would get out of hand. Damaging the Literary Name was a small matter, but it would affect the Divine Path.
Going against the Punishment Hall or even the Notre-Dame was something that had not happened even once in a hundred years. Moreover, even if it had happened, the Notre-Dame would mercilessly exterminate him. He had to establish the Notre-Dame's absolute authority. Otherwise, those demons and monsters would definitely think that the Notre-Dame was easy to bully.
Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye repeatedly shot glances at Fang Yun. Fang Shouye even secretly sent an urgent message to Fang Yun to remind him. However, Fang Yun remained unmoved. He calmly looked at Han Zhengyang.
Dong Wencong saw that Fang Yun actually had a card up his sleeve. He was no longer anxious and instead fell into deep thought.
When Han Zhengyang heard Fang Yun's words, his eyes widened slightly. After a few breaths, he discovered that Fang Yun's expression was still as calm as ever. After some thought, he said, "The Xiangzhou Court Bulletin is originally a publication of the Xiangzhou government. However, the Notre-Dame has made it clear that before the bulletin of each country is published, it must be reviewed by the Notre-Dame's Literature Review Institute before it can be published. The addition to the Xiangzhou Court Bulletin this time has not been reviewed, which is a violation of the Notre-Dame's laws. It should be verified by the Punishment Hall. "
"Since the Xiangzhou Court Bulletin only needs to be reviewed by the Notre-Dame before it is published, then the matter of the addition to the Xiangzhou Court Bulletin today will be verified by the Xiangzhou Court and handed over to the Punishment Hall for review. In the end, the Punishment Hall and Xiangzhou will jointly publish the results," Fang Yundao said.
Han Zhengyang suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "The rules of the Punishment Hall cannot be changed! This matter can only be verified and judged by the Punishment Hall alone! "
"As the Governor of two states, I command the officials and people of the two states. The Xiangzhou Court Bulletin is also under my jurisdiction. As long as the Xiangzhou Court Bulletin is not suspected of betraying the human race, I can't let the Punishment Hall handle the internal affairs of Xiangzhou alone! "
Fang Yun's words were loud and clear. Although the officials present were worried about Fang Yun, they also felt that Fang Yun's words were very reasonable.
Even the officials nodded gently, admiring Fang Yun's courage. The officials of the Ten Nations were not only afraid of the Punishment Hall, but they also resented the Punishment Hall. Many times, once the Punishment Hall intervened, their previous efforts would be in vain. In the end, they would not know why the Punishment Hall intervened. Even if they asked, the Punishment Hall would not answer on the grounds that it was confidential.
Han Zhengyang looked at Fang Yun and remained silent for a long time.
Fang Yun had been quietly looking at Han Zhengyang without moving.
The other officials did not dare to move and could only look at the two of them carefully.
A moment later, Han Zhengyang said slowly, "Governor Fang, you are going against the Punishment Hall! Going against the Notre-Dame! "
As soon as the words "going against the Notre-Dame" came out, the backs of all the officials present bent slightly and they became shorter than before.
Fang Yun was the only one whose expression did not change.
"For the sake of the officials of Xiangzhou and the people of Xiangzhou, I, Fang Yun, will not hesitate to go against the Punishment Hall! Today, as the Governor of two states, I request that the Punishment Hall not confiscate the supplements of the Xiangzhou Court Bulletin. We can only participate in the trial after the results of the investigation in Xiangzhou are out! Otherwise, I, Fang Yun, will seek justice for Xiangzhou even if it means risking my life. "
Dong Wencong sighed softly and stepped forward helplessly. "Envoy of the Punishment Hall, please reconsider. The matter of the Xiangzhou Court Bulletin should be decided by the Governor-General."
Fang Shouye saw that even Dong Wencong had stepped forward. As Fang Yun's uncle, he couldn't just stand by and watch. He also stepped forward and said, "Envoy, please reconsider!"
The other officials saw that the situation was not right. The three most powerful officials of Xiangzhou had all stepped forward. If they did not stand with the three of them, they would definitely be bullied in the future. However, the one on the other side was a high official of the Punishment Hall, a dignified scholar from an aristocratic family. If they stood out, what would they do if the score was settled?
Several breaths later, a number of officials transferred from outside Jingguo to Xiangzhou stepped forward one after another.
The Bureau of Trade Director Xue Li, the Bureau of Justice Director Jiang Zhengming, the Bureau of Judicial Director Jia He, the Bureau of Supervision Director Cai Yuan, and many other officials stepped forward and stood behind Fang Yun.
Those officials who secretly opposed Fang Yun were constantly pondering. If the Punishment Hall continued investigating this matter, the unlucky ones would be Guan Yi and the other officials. Most of the Bureau of Rites would be implicated. The Punishment Hall's methods would definitely be much more vicious than Fang Yun's.
Before long, Bureau of Rites Director Nie Changju stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Envoy, please reconsider!"
With the leader of the officials, Nie Changju, acting this way, the others hurriedly followed.
Before long, all the officials present stood behind Fang Yun and expressed their stance, opposing the Punishment Hall's investigation of the supplement to the Xiangzhou Bulletin.
Han Zhengyang's expression grew darker and darker. At this point, he had already guessed that it was extremely likely that he had been used by someone to make an enemy out of Fang Yun. Now, he was riding a tiger and had no way to back down. Even if he made an enemy out of Fang Yun, he still had to consider the Punishment Hall's prestige.
In his heart, Han Zhengyang cursed the eighteen generations of ancestors of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Han Zhengyang glanced at Fang Yun one last time and discovered that Fang Yun had never sent him a secret letter explaining. In the end, he coldly snorted and said, "Since the officials of Xiangzhou oppose the Punishment Hall's investigation, the Old Man can only report back to the Punishment Hall! Everyone will pay the price for their actions today! "
