Fang Yun sat behind the table, deep in thought.
Whether it was the minister of a country or the saint of the human race, people at their level didn't need evidence to do things. They only needed an excuse.
There was a commotion outside the door.
Fang Yun raised his head and looked over. Under the midday sun, he saw nearly a hundred officials dressed in scholar's robes, scholar's robes, Juren's robes, or Jinshi's robes walking towards the door. These people had solemn expressions, their heads held high and their chests puffed out. They had a kind of spirit of pointing out the world, and they were full of vigor.
A few Jinshi walked at the front.
Deputy County Magistrate Tao Dingnian stood outside the door and bowed to Fang Yun, "Greetings, County Magistrate Fang!"
"Greetings, County Magistrate Fang!" Almost a hundred people greeted in unison. They were full of energy and almost overturned the entire county office.
Ao Huang stared, knowing that there was going to be a good show.
Shen Ren saw these officials coming and his eyes turned red. He choked and bowed, "Thank you all for risking your lives to come and save me. I will repay you for your kindness! I can't thank you enough! "
"This is what we should do!" County Magistrate Wen Gu said.
Shen Ming nodded and said, "You are all righteous and not afraid of power. Old Man will remember this!"
Pa …
Fang Yun hit the gavel and said, "People outside the hall, what's the matter?"
The gavel was like a cold wind, making everyone's body tremble and their minds clear. But when they remembered that Minister Zuo was still there, they threw all their worries to the back of their minds.
Tao Dingnian bowed to Fang Yun and said, "I am Tao Dingnian. Together with my colleagues in Ning An County, I beg the county magistrate to be merciful. Put down your personal grudges and deal with Registrar Shen fairly. Clear his name! "
"Oh." Fang Yun lowered his eyes slightly and held the official seal in his hand, "So, Deputy County Magistrate Tao, you gathered all the officials here to force me to change my mind?"
"Sir, you are wrong. I didn't gather them. I came here of my own accord. I didn't force you, I just wanted to persuade you! "Tao Dingnian said.
Fang Yun's eyes were still downcast. He said, "If this county makes a mistake, the prefectural magistrate can reprimand me, the Imperial Censor can impeach me, and the Notre-Dame's Punishment Court can arrest me. Your forceful remonstrance is overstepping your authority. Do you know your crime? "
County Magistrate Wen Gu said in a clear voice, "Daren, you are wrong. We are all scholars. If a superior has made a mistake, it is only right that we admonish him. If we ignore him, it will be a disgrace to the integrity of scholars. "
Only then did Fang Yun raise his eyes and look straight ahead. His gaze was as sharp as a sword. It made all the officials feel a slight sting in their eyes.
"In other words, you're certain that I'm wrong? Very good! If this official is not wrong, are you willing to accept your punishment? "Fang Yun's expression was grim. His might was like the vault of heaven.
All the officials looked doubtful, but no one answered.
A mocking expression appeared on Fang Yun's face as he said, "Sand Soil, a motley crew! He claimed to have strength of character, but in reality, he did not have an inch of backbone. He looked just like a slave. This official is disgusted! Get lost, don't block the sunlight in front of the court! "
Almost a hundred faces instantly turned red and purple. More than a hundred gazes were about to explode.
Even the bailiffs and aides who had nothing to do with this matter felt their blood boil. Fang Yun's humiliating words were too much.
County Magistrate Wen Gu said angrily, "County Magistrate Fang, you are too harsh! If you have made a mistake, we can point it out. If we have made a mistake, you can also reprimand us. Why are you humiliating us like this?! "
"Offending one's superiors, reversing the principles, and gathering people to forcefully remonstrate is not a mistake, it is a crime! This official does not have the time to teach infants to learn to speak. I only ask one thing, are you retreating or not? " Fang Yun raised his chin slightly as if he was looking down at ants from the clouds. He did not hide his contempt for the officials.
"What can we do if we retreat? What can we do if we don't retreat?! We are not only Fang Yun's subordinates, we are also Jingguo's scholars. "
"It's good that you know you are my subordinates. If you don't retreat now, then you can stay here!" Fang Yun said.
Shen Ming sneered and said, "Don't be scared by him. If he dares to touch you, it will inevitably lead to bloodshed in the yamen. It will be enough to make him the public enemy of all the officials in the world. As for the Discipline of the Officials, he will definitely be the last in rank. His notoriety will spread far and wide!"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Fang Yun's face. He looked at Shen Ren and said slowly, "This official just learned something from the capital. The wife of Minister Liu's second son, Liu Mingzhi, miscarried. The twins cannot be saved. This official has already sent a letter to the Liu family. My condolences to the Liu family."
Many officials were puzzled. Even Ao Huang tilted his head and looked curiously at Fang Yun.
The little ink girl on the table emerged from the ink tortoise pool and looked curiously at Fang Yun. Even the fog butterfly sleeping on Fang Yun's shoulder gently flapped its wings.
Why did Fang Yun say this?
Only Shen Ren's eyes flashed with an inexplicable panic.
Fang Yun continued, "After investigation, it was Liu Mingzhi's concubine, Lan Xiang, who poisoned them."
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Everyone was in an uproar.
"Lan Xiang? Isn't Lan Xiang the niece of Registrar Shen? "
"Yes! Could it be someone with the same name? "
"Impossible. How could Liu Mingzhi have two concubines with the same name?"
"God, that is to say, Registrar Shen's niece killed Minister Zuo's grandson and granddaughter?"
"A few days ago, I heard rumors in the capital that Minister Zuo was very happy when he heard the news of the twins. He wore wooden shoes and knocked off his heels when he crossed the threshold. Lan Xiang is looking for death! "
"There is no need to think about it. Lan Xiang must die. Even her family will be implicated! Who knows if her family is in cahoots with her! "
In less than ten breaths of time, the officials had analyzed the situation clearly, one after another.
Shen Ren's legs couldn't stop trembling.
Offending Fang Yun, at most he would lose his position. But offending Mount Liu, the consequences would be unimaginable. Mount Liu's cruel methods to his enemies were unimaginable. It was also one of the main reasons why the officials in Mi Zhou didn't dare to betray him.
In Mi Zhou, there weren't many officials who didn't know about Mount Liu's methods to deal with his political enemies.
Fang Yun slammed the gavel and said, "People outside the court, this county is investigating the accomplices of the murder of Liu Mingzhi's wife. Do you think this official is wrong?"
The officials in Minister Zuo's party were like mutes. They couldn't say anything. At this time, who would dare to open their mouth?
Fang Yun continued to ask, "Now, who is righteous and willing to help Registrar Shen clear his name?"
The outside of the court continued to be silent.
Shen Ren suddenly shouted crazily, "Don't listen to him. He is talking nonsense! Those reports were made up by him! My niece Lan Xiang is so obedient. She would never murder Madame Liu! Absolutely impossible! If you don't believe me, I will send a letter to Lord Ji. My relationship with Lord Ji has always been very good. We are like brothers! Look, I will send a letter in front of everyone! "
Fang Yun smiled and relaxed the restrictions on Shen Ming's official seal.
Shen Ming held the official seal in his hand. A large piece of text appeared in front of him. Using the air as paper, it formed a text message. The text suddenly condensed into a swan goose and flew into Shen Ren's official seal.
"Wait a little longer. Lord Ji will definitely give me an answer! Definitely! "
The officials looked at Shen Ren doubtfully.
Soon, a swan goose flew out of Shen Ren's official seal and turned into a large word floating in the air.
Roll!
Shen Ren looked at the large "Roll" and was stunned.
