The officials were even more confused. Shen Ren was reported and the informant was most likely from the left minister's party. Did someone betray them?
Shen Ren cursed as he read the informant letter.
"Fake! There is no such thing! "
"Bullshit! Bullshit! "
Shen Ren quickly read the letter but when he was halfway through, he threw the anonymous letter on the floor and the paper scattered.
Fang Yun remained motionless as he sat firmly in his chair.
Some officials bent down to pick up the paper in front of them. The deputy district magistrate Tao Dingnian also picked up an anonymous letter and looked at it. He suddenly said, "May I ask why district magistrate Fang didn't announce the identity of the anonymous person? If this anonymous letter is fake, won't Registrar Shen be wrongly accused?"
"Whether it is wrongly accused or not, we will investigate one by one. As long as we find out that Registrar Shen is wrongly accused, I will put the person behind bars," Fang Yundao said.
"Sir, the rumor and the anonymous interrogation are all nonsense. I hope that you will consider it carefully!" Tao Dingnian had been patient for a long time. Seeing that Shen Ren was in trouble, he decisively reached out to help.
The deputy district magistrate was actually the deputy district magistrate. Many deputy district magistrates who had been in business for many years could compete with the new district magistrate. Their hidden power was unimaginable.
Moreover, Shen Ren was also a relative of Mount Liu. He was worth helping.
The district magistrate Wen Gu then said, "What Tao Daren said is right. I hope that Fang Daren will consider it carefully."
Constable Lu Hong said, "This matter … should wait."
The rest of the officials dissuaded him.
Yu Ba Chi was anxious when he saw this scene.
With the appearance of the Agriculture Hall and the arrival of Yunlou, the officials of Mi Province had lost the chance to participate in Fang Yun's trial. However, if Fang Yun forcefully tried Shen Ren just because of an anonymous letter, then they could take the opportunity to participate. Not only could they protect Shen Ren, but they could also label Fang Yun as someone who was in a mess. Even if he did not get demoted, it would be difficult for him to get a higher grade.
Yu Ba Chi hurriedly sent an urgent letter to Fang Yun secretly.
"Sir, don't fall into Tao Dingnian's trap! This person is taciturn but he has been in the officialdom for many years. If he is not old, he will definitely become a district magistrate. His method is very sinister. He is most likely using provocation to force you to interrogate Shen Ren! If you do so. Then the officials of Mishou would definitely unite. Please reconsider. "
Fang Yun remained calm. He waited for all the officials to finish speaking before he asked Shen Ren, "Does Registrar Shen have anything else to say?"
"False accusation! This is a blatant false accusation. This official would never do such a thing! "Shen Ren saw the support of the other officials. He became very confident.
"Oh."
Fang Yun agreed casually, his voice very soft. Everyone saw Fang Yun's casual attitude and guessed that Fang Yun had already given up.
However, Fang Yun's eyes changed all of a sudden. He shouted in a low voice, "Guards, take Secretary Shen Ren to the main hall. This official wants to hold a court to judge the case! "
The Hall of Agriculture official did not say anything. However, the officials of Ning An County were in an uproar. Yu Ba Chi looked at Fang Yun in shock. Could it be that Fang Yun was starting to become arrogant? Fang Yun did suppress Geng Ge, but that was with the help of the Agriculture Hall. Shen Ren's matter now had nothing to do with the Agriculture Hall. Could it be that the Agriculture Hall wanted to intervene? It was unreasonable. If Fang Yun really asked the Agriculture Hall to intervene, then it would be overdrafting their favor. It was the worst plan.
Ao Huang was also shocked. He thought to himself, how could Fang Yun be so careless about something that even this dragon knew? Could it be that there was another secret?
Yu Ba Chi was the Warden. He was in charge of the county's prisons. He quickly stood up and stared at Fang Yun. He slowly and seriously said, "Lord Fang, do you really want to interrogate Registrar Shen?"
"This official has already made up my mind," Fang Yun said.
"This official obeys!" Yu Ba Chi had no choice but to go and prepare.
The four yamen runners hesitantly walked to Shen Ren's side. They could neither capture him nor leave him be.
When Shen Ming saw the yamen runners approaching him, he was furious. He pointed at Lu Hong and said, "How do you manage things as a constable? Why aren't you telling these four slaves to scram? Do you still want to be an official in Mi Zhou? "
The group of officials suddenly felt a headache. This Shen Ren was usually okay, but once he made a mistake, he would say anything. He was not suitable to be a county registrar. However, he was still a relative of the Left Prime Minister. No one could do anything to him.
Lu Hong also wanted to save face. He was not afraid of Shen Ren. He said, "If Magistrate Fang was not here, I would be in charge of these yamen runners. Since Magistrate Fang is here, then I have no right to deny his command over the yamen runners."
"You … Lu Hong, this official will remember this. We will settle this matter step by step. Also, you four dog yamen runners, what, do you think I am in trouble? Let me tell you, the Left Prime Minister will not fall.
I am a flag in Ning An County! Come, come, I want to see who dares to touch me. Come! "
Shen Ren puffed out his chest. The four yamen runners were even more embarrassed. They did not dare to touch Shen Ren.
Fang Yun's face darkened. He said, "This county has repeatedly given orders, but the four of you keep evading them. Come, strip these four of their yamen uniforms and send them to the prison to await trial. Where is this county's private army? "
"Your subordinate is here!"
The dozens of soldiers outside the door answered loudly. There were both barbarians and humans. The barbarians were at least barbarians, while the humans were at least High Scholars. They were all extraordinary and had an imposing aura.
"Ning An County's yamen runners are useless. Shen Ren has broken the law. Take him to the court!"
"Yes sir!"
The four Ma Man Shuai's bodies were burning with flames as they charged towards Shen Ren.
"You are all looking to die! Take my Registrar Official Seal! " Shen Ren said as he was about to activate the power of his Registrar Official Seal. However, Fang Yun snorted coldly as a black 'seal' character appeared above Shen Ren's Registrar Official Seal. It then transformed into a black chain and locked the Registrar Official Seal in place.
The four Ma Man Shuai rushed towards Shen Ren without any hindrance. They skillfully dislocated Shen Ren's shoulder and knee joints. They then escorted him to the court.
Shen Ren did not expect Fang Yun to treat him in such a manner. He shouted, "Fang Yun, you dog official. I …"
"Slap him!" Fang Yun suddenly shouted.
The two Ma Man Shuai did not hesitate and kicked Shen Ren's face with their hooves.
Shen Ren screamed and fainted from the kick.
Those were Ma Man Shuai's hooves. Even if it was just a light kick, it was almost equivalent to an adult man wielding a hammer and smashing it on Shen Ren's face.
The people present only felt pain on their cheeks. They had seen a different kind of slap today. Not to mention Shen Ren, even the Grand Secretary could not take a few hits.
Geng Ge was burning with anger. He secretly cursed Fang Yun for not being human. The Dragon Horse kicked Hanlin and the Man Shuai kicked the Registrar Official Seal. He did not treat them as officials at all.
The Deputy District Magistrate Tao Dingnian slammed the table and stood up. He glared at Fang Yun and said, "Since District Magistrate Fang is so stubborn, then don't blame Old Man for submitting a memorial to His Excellency! Old Man will take his leave. I will see you at the cabinet meeting tomorrow! "He left angrily.
The Minister of the Left and the other officials immediately stood up and left.
Not long after, there were only a few officials and a few people left in the meeting room.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "I am not strict enough. Sorry for making a fool of myself, Mr. Xu."
"Don't mention it. These officials should be punished severely. Fang Xusheng has his own sense of propriety. Old Man will not disturb you. I will return to Yunlou first. We will discuss the cooperation in detail after you are done with the medical conference! "
"Okay. Mr. Xu, have a safe trip."
Yu Ba Chi was a little ashamed. He thought that the Grand Scholar was still the best. He trusted Fang Yun and did not worry blindly like himself.
