A white cloud left the capital and carried Mount Liu to the eye of the ocean closest to the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
As the leader of the Jingguo officials, the Left Prime Minister's every move was closely watched. The news quickly spread.
The atmosphere in the meeting room of the Ning An County Yamen was tense.
Fang Yun and Xu Shi did not speak. The people of the Agriculture Hall expressed their views on the collaboration and kept asking the officials of Ning An County for help.
The officials of Ning An County did not dare to disobey the Agriculture Hall's request. They kept nodding their heads to express their full cooperation.
Geng Ge lowered his head and responded occasionally. However, he felt a little hopeless.
This was because he had discovered Fang Yun's true intentions.
The reason why Liu Shan wanted to send Fang Yun to Ning An County was because he wanted to unite all the officials to make Fang Yun a mere figurehead. Not to mention the inexperienced Fang Yun, even the experienced Grand Scholars and Hanlin Scholars would either flip the table and leave or become a puppet statue at the mercy of others.
However, this was the court examination. If Fang Yun flipped the table and left, it would mean that he had given up on the court examination. Therefore, the officials of the Left Prime Minister's faction thought that Fang Yun would become a statue in the county yamen. Other than being able to write poems and articles and teach the students, he would be useless.
However, Fang Yun bypassed the bureaucratic system and directly communicated with the various halls of the Sacred Institute. He attracted a powerful dragon and suppressed the local snake!
These officials could choose not to cooperate with Fang Yun, but they definitely had to cooperate with the various halls of the Notre-Dame.
Every hall of the Notre-Dame was a huge group of interests. Even the Notre-Dame Family did not dare to offend them, much less the Left Prime Minister. After all, the Notre-Dame Family had a limited lifespan. However, the various halls of the Notre-Dame Family had the same lifespan as the human race.
Fang Yun had revolutionized the law, government, agriculture, and livestock. In reality, he was giving gifts to the various halls. Furthermore, the gifts were related to the Divine Path and were extremely generous. If anyone did not want them, they would be snatched up immediately. Since they had received the gifts, they had to help Fang Yun.
The various halls had set up a trial in Ning An County and used the name of Notre-Dame to order the officials to help. In essence, they were forcing all the officials in Ning An County to help Fang Yun complete the court examinations.
Now, if any official wanted to sabotage Fang Yun's reforms, Fang Yun didn't even need to open his mouth. The various halls immediately joined forces with the Punishment Hall to punish him severely, even if it meant wiping out all the officials in Ning An County. To them, it was just a small matter.
Now, the officials of the Left Prime Minister's party rarely thought of making things difficult for Fang Yun. Most of their time was spent on preventing Fang Yun from having something to use against them.
Shen Ren felt extremely sorrowful. Fang Yun had only taken down the warden on his first day in Ning An County. After that, he had never personally taken down any important officials. It was precisely because he had grasped this powerful method that he did not need to act in a high-profile manner. He had been slowly laying out his plans.
Now, Ning An County had become a testing ground for the Disciplinary Hall, the Engineering Hall, and the Agriculture Hall. The Holy Way's Editorial Hall and the Ancient Records Hall had always hoped that Fang Yun would write good articles. These halls had already formed a hidden interest group around Fang Yun and Ning An County.
The plan had been set.
Furthermore, the Medical Hall, War Hall, and the other halls had seen the benefits of the other halls and were looking forward to it. They all hoped that Fang Yun could bring them great benefits.
Until now, Mount Liu was no exception. The Zongsheng Clan was no exception. The price they had to pay to make a move on Fang Yun would be hundreds or thousands of times higher than before.
Any signs of targeting Ning An County would be extinguished by the combined efforts of the various halls.
The Great Scholar of the Agriculture Hall, Xu Shi, had seen this point. Thus, he used harsh words to force Xu Shi to tell the people of Ning An County so that Fang Yun's reputation in Ning An County would soar.
The grain disaster would become the end of the Left Prime Minister's party. In the future, they would either not act again. Or they would make a small fuss. As for the last possibility … Geng Ge thought about it, then shook his head.
Whether it was the Zongsheng Clan or the Left Prime Minister, they might not have the courage to overturn the chessboard.
Suddenly, Geng Ge received news that the Left Prime Minister had left the capital. As for where he went, no one knew.
Geng Ge clenched his fists tightly, his eyes shining with determination.
He still remembered many years ago, when Beixi County was still around. As the Governor of Mi Province, Mount Liu personally fought on the city wall. At that time, Mount Liu was only a Hanlin, but his Zajia Seal had already reached the level of the Three Kingdoms. He fought for three days and three nights, and finally let the people and civilians of Beixi County safely retreat. After that, he fell into a coma for two days due to excessive consumption of talent.
As someone who had followed Mount Liu for many years, Geng Ge firmly believed that as long as Mount Liu personally acted, there was no problem that could not be solved, no enemy that could not be defeated!
Many years ago, Geng Ge knew that the Great Confucian Scholar was only Mount Liu's first step. Mount Liu's real goal was Half-saint!
Someone once reprimanded Mount Liu for betraying the country, but Geng Ge once sneered and retorted. In the past, the first Half-saint Lu Buwei used the King of Qin as a rare commodity and hoarded it, waiting for the best price to sell it in exchange for the Prime Minister of Qin. Today, Mount Liu used Jingguo, which was about to be destroyed, as a rare commodity, in exchange for the position of Half-saint, so what!
The Left Prime Minister was the enemy of others, but in the eyes of the Zajia School, he was a man who dared to do what he wanted. He was a practitioner who insisted on the Zajia School's holy path, and even the future Taoist.
Geng Ge suddenly stood up, cupped his hands to Fang Yun and Xu Shi, and said, "The Transport Department is busy, I still have things to do, so I will leave now."
Without waiting for Fang Yun and Xu Shi to speak, Geng Ge walked out of the door.
Xu Shi was too lazy to argue with Geng Ge. After all, he had already achieved his goal of helping Fang Yun.
Fang Yun also did not keep Geng Ge. When Geng Ge was about to walk out of the door, Fang Yun suddenly turned his head to look at the registrar, Shen Ren, and said, "Shen Ren, how should you be punished?"
Shen Ren raised his head to look at Fang Yun. There was not the slightest trace of fear on his face, but a blank expression, as if he was asking, "Geng Ge left in a huff with you, why did you target me? I have been honest today and did not provoke you! "
Geng Ge was also confused. Why did Fang Yun suddenly attack Shen Ren? Shen Ren was a relative of Mount Liu, so his position was not important. But if he was attacked, it would be forcing all the officials in Mizhou to take action!
Shen Ren was shouted at. Geng Ge helplessly stopped his steps, stood by the door, and looked at Fang Yun.
No one spoke in the hall, because most people were confused. Why did Fang Yun not care about Geng Ge, but target Shen Ren, who had been honest today?
After a while, Shen Ming realized that Fang Yun was probably already targeting him. Even though he had Mount Liu as his backer, a trace of panic flashed through his eyes. This was because Fang Yun would either not make a move, or once he made a move, he would definitely succeed.
Shen Ren swallowed and looked at Fang Yundao. "County Magistrate, what's wrong with me? You can scare me to death if you scare me. I have a good reputation in Ning An County. On the day of Prime Minister Zuo's birthday celebration, I even went to the banquet … "
Shen Ren was clearly talking about his relationship with Mount Liu, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Fang Yun.
"In the past few days, someone has anonymously reported that you have taken bribes and perverted the law, causing trouble in Ning An County. The report is clear and the evidence is sufficient. What do you have to say?" Fang Yun finished speaking and threw a stack of papers at Shen Ren.
The dozens of pages did not scatter, and they landed steadily in front of Shen Ren.
Shen Ming pretended to be calm, holding the anonymous letter. As he flipped through it, he smiled and said, "County Magistrate Fang must be joking. I am a diligent person, honest in politics, and humble in conduct … Nonsense! What nonsense! False accusation, this is false accusation! "
Shen Ren's expression changed as he spoke halfway. He held the papers with both hands and cursed loudly.
