It wasn't until ten o 'clock in the evening that all fifty-five young people finished their poems, and the good ones were commented on by the Grand Scholar. It was unclear whether it was due to the influence of "celebrating the dog's barking in the snow" and "celebrating the donkey's lack of skill", but the five young scholars of Gyeongo didn't make it out of the county. The best one was ranked fifteenth, a total defeat.
Some scholars called it "celebrating the donkey's lack of skill" and praised Fang Yun for his ability to foresee the future.
The people of Gyeongo didn't dare say anything, because it was obvious that Emperor Qing intended to discourage Fang Yun and disturb Fang Yun's mood. But in the end, the young scholars of Gyeongo were affected and suffered the consequences of their own actions, and there was nothing they could do.
Waiting for the young man in the poetry contest to come down from the platform, Dong Wencong asked helplessly, "I would like to ask if anyone here has seen the Grand Scholar Zhang Longxiang. It seems that he is lost and hasn't arrived yet."
Many people looked at the first seat near Fang Yun, and found that one of the chairs had been empty since the beginning of the Literature Meeting.
Fang Yun sensed that the Pearl River Public Seal in his Sea Swallowing Seashell began to receive letters. It was obvious that some people were anxious.
Therefore, Fang Yun secretly used the Pearl River Public Seal to reply to Lei Tingzhen and some others.
"The Literature Competition will begin at midnight."
Soon, people found out the exact time of Zhang Longxiang's arrival.
Dong Wencong also received the news, so she announced that the Literature Meeting would continue and invited the most famous acrobatic troupe of Kongcheng to perform on the stage.
In the Saint Origin World, midnight was the beginning and end of a day at eleven o 'clock in the evening.
Most people watched the acrobatic performances with great interest. Every time there was a thrilling moment, many people would exclaim softly.
However, some of the scholars didn't pay attention to the acrobatics. Most of them were watching the Literature Meeting, talking with the people around them, and glancing at Fang Yun from time to time.
As midnight approached, the atmosphere of the Literature Meeting and the Literature Meeting changed a bit.
The scholars at the cultural scene became more and more silent, but the articles on the discussion list became more and more intense. Especially those scholars who didn't come to Baling City, they didn't even have time to sleep and kept reading the articles and replies on the discussion list.
Some Jingguo officials were secretly paying attention to the Left Prime Minister, Mount Liu, who was wearing an ordinary blue robe. However, he stood there like an ordinary person and did not do anything special. If it were not for Fang Yun's reminder, these officials would not have noticed Mount Liu at all.
When there was still a quarter of an hour left, Fang Yun suddenly looked at Dong Wencong and nodded.
Dong Wencong immediately nodded in response. Then, she held the official seal in her hand and did something.
After only three breaths, a woman's cries suddenly spread through the sound amplifying conch.
"I am Hua Qing Niang of Xiangzhou. I ask Lord Qing and Lord Gu to uphold justice for me!"
The people who were watching the acrobatics were startled and looked in the direction of the voice.
That was where the commoners of Xiangzhou were. The copybook personally written by Qing Jun, "Duanmu Yifeng," was once again raised high. With Ge Yiming at the head, the people of Qingjiang Trading Company stood beside Hua Qingniang.
Then, Ge Yiming said loudly, "I am Ge Yiming of Xiangzhou. I sue the governor of two provinces, Fang Yun, for abusing his power and wantonly attacking Qingjiang Trading Company! I ask Lord Qing and Lord Gu to uphold justice for me! "
After Ge Yiming finished speaking, many people looked as if they already knew this would happen. However, some people were stunned and looked at Hua Qing Niang and Ge Yiming in disbelief. This was the grandest Mid-Autumn Literature Meeting in human history. It was too much to target Fang Yun at this time. They didn't give Fang Yun any face at all. It was more than cutting off all ties, it was simply irreconcilable.
Then, Lord Qing used the imperial jade seal to speak, and his voice traveled hundreds of li.
"I am the ruler of Gyeongo, and it is inconvenient for me to deal with Jingguo's internal affairs. However, Qingjiang Trading Company is my Gyeongo's trading company. If I don't say a few words, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the people of Gyeongo. Fang Xusheng, is Ge Yiming telling the truth about Qingjiang Trading Company? Have you issued any orders against Qingjiang Trading Company? "
Fang Yun's tongue thundered as he replied, "Qingjiang Trading Company? Yes, I've attacked their brothel. "
Lord Qing didn't expect Fang Yun to answer so straightforwardly. He was stunned, and many people were stunned as well.
After a few breaths, the people of Xiangzhou praised Fang Yun.
"You've got guts!"
"I've long disliked Qingjiang Trading Company. Before, there were rumors that it was Fang Xusheng who attacked them. Some people said it wasn't. Now the truth is out!"
"That's right, he wants to mess with Qingjiang Trading Company. Serves him right!"
"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to interfere! Hmph! "Lord Qing harrumphed coldly.
Suddenly, a Hanlin stood up from the third seat and cupped his hands toward Fang Yun. He then cupped his hands toward everyone else and spoke with a thunderous voice, "I am a branch of the Sun Bin Aristocratic Family, Hanlin Sun Shizong. May I ask Fang Xusheng if you still remember the bet between the clans? I still remember that year when my Sun Bin Clan believed that you could write sixteen legendary war poems within three years. Therefore, we bet a piece of Half-saint clothing and some land and shops. In the end, until the beginning of spring this year, you still haven't finished writing sixteen legendary war poems and failed to become the world's teacher! My Sun Bin Clan is willing to accept defeat. These days, we've been checking the deeds of the land and houses. My position in the Sun Bin Clan is low, but just as Zhang Mingzhou said in his poem, 'I dare not forget to worry about the country'! The elders of the Sun Bin Clan are magnanimous, but today, I want to ask Fang Xusheng to apologize to the Sun Bin Clan because you have failed to live up to our trust! "
Everyone was in an uproar. The Sun Bin Clan was one of the strongest Half-saint clans among the militarists. Now, the Sun Bin Clan was openly criticizing Fang Yun. Could it be that the Sun Bin Clan and the militarists were going to join hands with the School of Miscellany to oppose Fang Yun?
However, when everyone thought about it, it didn't seem like it. The School of Vertical and Horizontal had killed Bai Qi, who was very likely to become a saint. Furthermore, the School of Vertical and Horizontal had always relied on the School of Miscellany after Lu Buwei became a saint. This caused the School of Miscellany and the militarists to be at odds with each other for many years. The School of Miscellany definitely couldn't pay the price to reconcile with the militarists.
However, after a few breaths, a purple-clothed scholar stood up and said with a stern expression, "Old Man is the Sun Bin Clan's Great Scholar, Sun Tianxiong. I hereby announce that Sun Shicong has betrayed the Sun Bin Clan and is listed as the clan's public enemy. The Old Man will personally arrest him and escort him back to the Sun Clan to be punished according to the clan's laws!"
After he finished speaking, Sun Tianxiong grabbed at Sun Shicong who was dozens of feet away. Sun Shicong couldn't help but fly towards Sun Tianxiong. It was as if he was grabbed by the collar by an invisible hand without any resistance.
After a few breaths, Sun Tianxiong's right hand grabbed Sun Shicong's neck like he was grabbing a chicken. He stepped on the Smooth Cloud and slowly rose up. Then, he slightly lowered his head towards Fang Yun and said, "For today's matter, my Sun Bin Clan will definitely give Fang Xusheng an explanation. Of course, some people must also give my Sun Bin Clan an explanation! " After Sun Tianxiong finished speaking, he fiercely looked at the Zong Sheng Clan's patriarch, Zong Ganyu, and Qing Jun before stepping on the Smooth Cloud and leaving.
It was only now that everyone understood that the Zong Clan or Qing Jun must have used some method to instigate Sun Shicong to come out and find trouble with Fang Yun.
Before Sun Tianxiong could fly far, there were many young scholars from various aristocratic clans who spoke like spring thunder, accusing Fang Yun of causing their clan to lose the bet.
Without exception, those aristocratic clans all announced that those people would be expelled from their clan.
However, this already had a huge negative impact on Fang Yun. Not only did the people of other countries have doubts, even the people of Xiangzhou began to doubt Fang Yun's ability.
Gyeongo's Grand Scholar, Gu Nanhuai, the Minister of Personnel, coldly said, "I heard that Jingguo's Chen Sheng Clan lost to the Zong Clan in that big bet. Why did they delay paying up?"
