"That's right. You should focus on dealing with the barbarian and demon Saints. Don't worry about those villains."
"When you have too many debts, you don't have to worry anymore. When you have too many lice, you won't feel itchy anymore. You really think about everything. Even if you go to the capital, I don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't become enemies with the Half-saint family and guard against the Left Prime Minister, no one in the capital will be your match with the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Wen. I can't wait for the Juren and Jinshi in the capital to compete with you and make us laugh. "Dong Wencong laughed.
They all wanted to see Fang Yun bully others.
However, Fang Yun didn't laugh. Instead, he looked at the officials of the Dayuan Mansion and said slowly, "There's something I have to say. The security of the Dayuan Mansion is not a small problem!"
The officials of the Dayuan Mansion changed their expressions. Fang Yun had just been evaluated by the Holy Pen and reached the peak of the Literary Name. Moreover, the title of "Cabinet Advisor" was enough to suppress all the officials present except for Governor Ge and Governor Lu.
Magistrate Sun had a good relationship with Fang Yun. He guessed that Fang Yun wasn't making things difficult for him. He immediately said, "I don't know. I hope Marquis Wen can remind me."
Other than the two third-rank officials, Governor Ge and Governor Lu, the rest of the officials lowered their heads slightly, their arms hanging by their sides in an incomparably respectful manner.
The friends of the Holy Ground looked at Fang Yun curiously. They didn't expect that although he was young, when he spoke as an official, he didn't seem immature at all.
Fang Yundao said, "My four Prolongation Fruits originally belonged to five people who sacrificed ten years of their lives. Do you know that?"
"I know," dozens of officials said in low voices.
"My teacher, Mr. Wang, was among the five people. Yesterday, his wife came to me and said that a man named Guan Zhangyu tried to buy their Prolongation Fruits by force. Not only that, but he also threatened Mr. Wang's family with the future of Mr. Wang's son. I was so angry that I said that if Guan Zhangyu didn't leave immediately, I would break his legs. As far as I know. Guan Zhangyu didn't leave yesterday. How do you think we should deal with this person? "Fang Yundao asked.
The officials were incomparably furious. That was the Longevity Fruit that Fang Yun had risked his life to obtain from the Holy Ground. Furthermore, Li Wenying had taken care of it, yet there was actually someone who dared to risk universal condemnation and forcefully buy it?
Several high-ranking officials lowered their heads and pondered.
Chen Xibi was filled with righteous indignation. He had lost his arm in that battle. Later, he recovered after eating Fang Yun's Life-Giving Fruit. He had become friends with Mr. Wang and the others.
"The Longevity Fruit is related to the battle with the demons. Leave this matter to the prefecture army. This general will definitely handle this matter properly! "Chen Xi emphasized the last four words, indicating that he would definitely break Guan Zhangyu's legs.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, General Chen!" Fang Yun retracted his aura as a Rank 3 official and returned to being an ordinary High Scholar.
The officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xi was about to leave when the Judicial Division's Bureau Chief said in a low voice, "Guan Zhangyu is a member of the Guan family. His father is the second son of the head of the family. He has a prominent position."
Lu Hongyi snorted coldly and said, "He dares to behave atrociously in Jiang District's territory. Don't mention the Guan family. So what if he's the Guan family? Is the Longevity Fruit something he can touch? General Chen, take some men with you. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility! "
"Yes!" Chen Xi hurriedly left.
Governor Ge's expression changed, then he said, "It's a small matter. Xi Bi will definitely be able to handle it properly. Marquis Wen, Minister Wen has already left in his car. Tomorrow, when you leave Book Hill, he will personally come to pick you up. He won't be attending tonight's celebration banquet. "
Fang Yun thought that perhaps Kang Ha-chuan had some important mission, so he didn't ask further.
Dong Wencong was anxious. She said, "Marquis Wen, this is a matter of celebration for Jingguo. How can Minister Wen not attend the banquet? When he left just now, I thought he was just looking for a place to rest! "
Governor Ge's expression was a little unnatural. He said, "The eighteen flood dragon carriages are heading towards Ji District."
Everyone thought for a moment and suddenly understood. They looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that even Minister Wen had gone to the River of Enlightenment. The name of the River of Enlightenment had been confirmed. With County Magistrate Cai He's scheming and deep foresight, he would definitely publicize this matter and write him into the "Legend of the White Snake" as Fahai.
"If Minister Wen has a breakthrough and becomes a scholar, you will have a great contribution!" Dong Wencong said.
Fang Yun smiled modestly, praying that Half-saint didn't go.
Governor Ge said to Fang Yundao, "I just received a letter that has something to do with you. Follow me to the pavilion to discuss it in detail."
"Alright." Fang Yun followed Prefecture Overseer Ge towards the pavilion.
Fang Yun looked around and said as he walked, "The beggar … Cough cough, Scholar Zhao Jing Kong seems to have left a long time ago?"
Governor Ge smiled. "He has a strange personality. He can't wait to find a place far away from us to beg. Before he left, he even mumbled that when you're down and out, you can find him. He'll teach you how to beg. "
"This imperial uncle is really an interesting person," Fang Yundao said.
When they reached the pavilion, Governor Ge used the power of literary courage to isolate the inside and outside. He said in a low voice, "Marquis Wen, don't you know that the housekeeper is the loyal dog of the Sangfroid King? Hmph, Lu Hongyi said it so righteously. He's close to the Left Minister, so he naturally wants you to have a conflict with the Sangfroid King! There are some things that you know, so I won't hide it. Wu Guo supports the Sangfroid King, while Gyeongo supports the Left Minister. The two of them have always hoped for the fall of Jingguo! "
"I know all this." Fang Yun thought to himself that this Governor Ge was indeed an official. If he was a fool, he would have said it in front of everyone. That would be equivalent to forcing Fang Yun to express his stance in front of everyone. Perhaps he would have offended the Sangfroid King.
"Then why did you break Guan Zhangyu's leg? I know a little about Guan Zhangyu's trip to Jiang Zhou. He came to prepare a congratulatory gift for Yi Zhishi's sainthood. It's said that Yi Zhishi will be a Saint in at most one or two years. What if the Sangfroid King says something bad about you in front of Yi Zhishi? Even if Yi Zhishi doesn't harm you, he can just find a random reason to make you suffer. When that happens, it'll be much more serious than losing a Longevity Fruit, "Governor Ge advised.
Fang Yundao said, "I've thought about it before. Not to mention how long it'll take for Yi Zhishi to be a Saint, even if he's a Saint, he won't make things difficult for me over such a small matter. At most, he'll have a bad impression of me. I've read this person's biography before. He's very tolerant. "
Governor Ge said softly, "You're still young. You're weak and he's strong. Naturally, he'll be tolerant. If you have the tendency to surpass him, he might not care at first. However, if the Sangfroid King and those scoundrels continue to speak ill of you, as time passes, will he still be magnanimous?"
Fang Yun was stunned. He really hadn't thought about this, because Yi Zhishi was a noble and pure scholar in the eyes of the world. However, Governor Ge was right. This possibility wasn't impossible.
"If the Sangfroid King sees me as a mortal enemy for a mere Guan Zhangyu and doesn't hesitate to go to Yi Zhishi and ruin my reputation, then there's no need to fear such a person. Perhaps, Yi Zhishi will look down on him instead," Fang Yundao said.
Governor Ge sighed softly. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes. He said, "No wonder I'm still only a Grand Scholar at this age. It's difficult for me to break through to Hanlin. It turns out that I treat everyone as someone from the bureaucracy and use the bureaucracy's way of thinking to consider everything. You're not someone from the bureaucracy, but you see things more clearly than I do. Indeed, the Sangfroid King is overbearing and might not tolerate you. However, Yi Zhishi is ultimately a great scholar who can become a Half-saint. He might not be as calculative as someone from the bureaucracy. As long as you don't obstruct his Divine Path, he probably won't make any enemies. "
Fang Yun immediately said, "This is just a guess. One must always be wary of others. Perhaps you're the one who's right."
Governor Ge chuckled and stroked his white goatee. He said, "You don't need to comfort me. Thanks to you, I already know why I can't become a Hanlin. Once I find the reason, I can slowly resolve it. Let's go. Go home and prepare. I'll set up a banquet for you tonight. Do you have any requests? "
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Let me set up the banquet. I'll book the Riverview Restaurant. It'll be a celebration banquet and an apology to my friends who were deceived by my scheme. I'll invite County Magistrate Cai to come."
"I was wondering why that cunning brat Cai He was so foolish. So he was just playing along with your scheme. Alright."
Fang Yun laughed in his heart. Cai He was already over thirty years old. Only someone in his fifties like Governor Ge would dare to call him a brat.
Fang Yun walked towards the door and walked out of the Academy of Arts with his friends from the Holy Ground.
After the announcement, the huge announcement disappeared. A new ordinary announcement was pasted on the bulletin board in front of the Academy of Arts. Many people gathered there and discussed spiritedly.
The status of a High Scholar was much higher than that of an Elementary Scholar. They were already considered famous within a province and were considered nothing in a capital like the Great Origin Prefecture. If they returned to a small county and painstakingly worked for a few decades, they would definitely become a prominent family.
Fortunately, the Imperial Scholars of Saint Origin World had the ambition to be the highest in the world. They all had the heart to work hard for the human race. Basically, they would not retire until they were seventy or eighty years old. Even if they retired, they would still participate in the Honoring the Elders Ceremony every September during the Double Ninth Festival.
The Double Ninth Festival was originally designated as the Old Respect Day in Excellent Nation. Later on, it spread throughout the world and the Double Ninth Festival and the Old Respect Day in the ten nations were celebrated together.
Fang Yun and his friends chatted as they walked home. Occasionally, they would glance at the letter and soon, they saw a letter from Ceng Yuan.
"Jingguo's top scholar, Ji Mengxian, fell into the trap of reciting the will of heaven and his courage was shattered. He insulted you, but you asked for his manuscript. You commented on it, but he refused to admit defeat. The difference between you and him is as vast as the abyss. "
Fang Yun sighed softly. He originally thought that Ji Mengxian was talented and would be able to see through his intentions. He didn't expect that he would be blinded by the hatred of the nation and lose his courage. However, he didn't know if Ji Mengxian would join the Juwen Pavilion in Ba Kong Mountain and become the vanguard to attack him.
Later on, Ceng Yuan described in detail what happened in Bright Moon Hotel in Xun County and also mentioned what happened in other places. Many unbridled and arrogant scholars from last night were all defeated by the Holy Pen.
When he reached the door, Fang Yun saw that the soldiers had already withdrawn. The neighbors who had been waiting for a long time came forward to greet him.
After entering the door, Fang Yun ignored his friends and locked himself in the study. He seriously replied to the patriarchs of the Half-saint families and Confucian scholars. Since those people were preparing for the future, he shouldn't be too anxious and should wait until he became a Grand Scholar.
After replying to the letter, Fang Yun invited Cai He to participate in the celebration banquet today. He wanted to explain it clearly in front of everyone.
Fang Yun left the study and found that his friends were talking loudly. They were first guessing which mountain he would be able to reach as a Grand Scholar this time. Then, they were guessing what would be tested on the next few levels of Book Hill.
Fang Yun looked at the sky and realized that it was already noon. Hence, he asked someone to prepare lunch. Just as he was about to chat with his friends, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice coming from outside.
