Geng Ge said, "Ridiculous! County Magistrate Fang, do you know the price of your words? The Lei family was Xusheng's family. If they didn't send a congratulatory gift to Xusheng, it would trigger the Three Rites. By saying that, you are denying the great ceremony of heaven worship, denying the etiquette of our humankind! You can't keep Xusheng's title! "
Shen Ming laughed sinisterly, "County Magistrate, it was an accident that these two women barged into the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony. If they admitted their guilt, there might be room for negotiation. However, you have openly violated the rules of etiquette. Don't blame the colleagues of Ning An County for reporting you! Everyone, do you dare to submit a petition with me? "
"Let's go together!" Deputy District Magistrate Tao Dingnian said.
"Of course!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Ao Huang looked at Fang Yun nervously, afraid that Fang Yun would do something out of line.
In other people's eyes, Fang Yun might just be a somewhat arrogant Xusheng, but in Ao Huang's eyes, Fang Yun was a real killing god. Ao Huang couldn't think of anything that Fang Yun didn't dare to do.
Fang Yun's expression did not change. He continued to use his official seal to mobilize the talent energy of the temple, forming a powerful force that twisted Yang Yuhuan's blade into a piece of metal. Then, he stopped binding Yang Yuhuan.
Fang Yun scanned the crowd and stroked the little fox as he smiled, "They are here to offer their prayers to the heavens!"
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned. The matter of offering poems had always existed, as early as the Warring States Period. Later on, when the Shu Kingdom was in turmoil, Zhuge Liang wrote "Qian Chu Shi Biao" to offer poems to the heavens, which caused many people to follow suit. If there were scholars who wrote important poems and articles that were not appreciated, they could offer poems to the heavens in the temple.
This kind of thing would happen once every ten years or so, but only one out of five or six times would succeed.
In terms of etiquette, Fang Yun's act of praying to Heaven after the worship ceremony was completely reasonable. As long as his family members did not interfere with the worship ceremony, they would not be guilty even if they were sent to the County School of Literature.
Geng Ge sneered.
He said, "County Magistrate Fang, do you think we are fools? Since he wants to pray to Heaven, he must have informed Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao, and these two must have participated in the writing. I will ask the Rites Hall and the Punishment Hall to use the Half-saint writing treasure to check if it is true! "
Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao's expressions changed. The trial of Notre-Dame was very famous among the human race. Once there was a problem in an important case, and it was impossible to determine the authenticity of the participants in the case, the Notre-Dame could send down the Half-saint scripture or the projection of the Legalist scripture. To verify whether a person is lying.
Every school had their own way of avoiding the test, such as the School of the Militarists' "Nothing is too deceitful in war", and the School of Vertical and Horizontal's "Chaoqin Mu Chu" and so on. However, only a Grand Scholar could resist the projection of Half-saint Wen Bao, and only a Great Scholar could resist the interrogation of Half-saint Wen Bao himself.
Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao were just ordinary people. Without the scripture, they could not resist the interrogation of the projection of Half-saint Wen Bao.
All the officials were observing the situation. When they saw the obvious changes in Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao's expressions, they immediately understood that Fang Yun had not communicated with Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao before this. This was a last-minute countermeasure that Fang Yun came up with.
Although this countermeasure was good, Geng Ge had directly asked the Notre-Dame to investigate. Even if Fang Yun was Xusheng, there was no way to stop it. Moreover, this matter was related to the sacrificial ceremony. The Notre-Dame could not help Fang Yun even if she wanted to. She had to enforce the law impartially.
Shen Ren laughed and said, "County Magistrate Fang, you've really outsmarted yourself! If you didn't care at the beginning, at most the two girls would be executed, and it would not affect you much. But now, in order to save the two girls, you are risking universal condemnation by deceiving the Divine Temple and God. Not only will the two girls be executed, but your title of Xusheng will also be removed! As for the Palace Examination, you will be dismissed immediately. You will lose the right to participate in the Palace Examination, hahaha … "
As Shen Ren spoke, he held the official seal in his hand and sent a letter to Ji Zhibai who was far away in the capital.
Shen Ren had a deep relationship with the Left Prime Minister. He could laugh wantonly, but the other officials did not do so.
Geng Ge only smiled and said, "County Magistrate Fang, you're still young after all. I'll send a letter to the Left Prime Minister and ask him to contact the Notre-Dame. Interrogate the two girls! "
Fang Yun pretended to be surprised and said, "Geng Sizheng, you've misunderstood. Yuhuan and Xiaoxiao did not know. The two of them were escorting the author of the poem! Today's author of the poem, other than me, is the little fox in my arms! "
Nunu was stunned and looked up at Fang Yun in confusion. She was confused and did not understand why Fang Yun said that.
Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao were also stunned and then suddenly understood!
Both of them had heard that Fang Yun had written a rhyming book.
《Fox Rhymes》!
Fang Yun did not take it out before because he was afraid of being in the limelight. Later on, when he wanted to take it out, he was punished by the Moon Tree God.
The two of them knew about 《Fox Rhymes》, but the others did not.
"Hahaha …" Geng Ge, as a member of the Hanlin Academy, did not get carried away. But now that he heard Fang Yun say that the author of the poem was a fox, he could not help but laugh.
Not only was Geng Ge laughing, Shen Ren and the other officials were also laughing. Shen Ren, who did not have much shrewdness and relied on his connections to become the official registrar, was laughing so hard that he was holding his stomach.
"Hahaha … this is too funny! Old Man has lived for so many years and seen so many demons and monsters, but this is the first time he has heard of a poem from a beast. Not to mention a beast, he has never even heard of a demon or a barbarian! Aiyo … I can't take it anymore. This official is laughing so hard that his intestines are about to break. Fang Xusheng is really powerful, killing people from a distance! "
"Hahaha …" Some of the officials were even more amused by Shen Ren.
However, Shen Ren and the others did not notice that the neutral officials were not laughing, and the few officials from the Left Prime Minister's faction were not laughing either.
They wanted to see the Left Prime Minister defeat Fang Yun, and they wanted to reap the benefits after Jingguo was annexed by Gyeongo. However, they did not want to see Fang Yun being humiliated, and they did not want to see Fang Yun being severely punished!
No matter how opposed their faction was to Fang Yun, they sincerely hoped that Fang Yun would write more legendary war poems and write more good articles for the benefit of the human race!
There were many officials from the Left Prime Minister's faction present, but when they were educating their children, they all asked their children to learn from Fang Yun!
The Left Prime Minister was opposed to Fang Yun, but no one was opposed to Fang Yun's poems and articles! No one was opposed to Fang Yun's talent!
The only people who were opposed to him were the demons and barbarians.
Even the rebels would not oppose Fang Yun's poems and articles!
A few people even had an unrealistic thought in their hearts. They hoped that Fang Yun would be able to turn the tide and save Jing Country from the fire and water. They hoped that Jing Country would not be destroyed!
However, the possibility of this was too small, almost zero, so they could only suppress this thought in their hearts.
After laughing enough, Geng Ge said with a smile, "County Magistrate Fang, you are indeed bold. You used this unprecedented method to forcefully clear the two women's names! However, you are smart. According to the laws of the human race, beasts cannot be used as witnesses, and we can't ask the Notre-Dame to interrogate the fox. However … we can only ask the Notre-Dame to interrogate you! "
At the end of his words, Geng Ge suddenly smiled coldly and revealed a malicious expression, as if he had an irreconcilable hatred for Fang Yun.
Shen Ren smiled and said, "Lord Geng, actually, you and I have overcomplicated things."
"Oh? What do you mean? "Geng Ge asked.
