Saint of the Confucian way

Ni Xian is only 15 or 16 years old. He has heard the legend about Fang Yun almost every day in the past two years. In his heart, Fang Yun has long been not a young man of the same age, but a peerless genius with strong talent, learning, literature and war. He has a great chance to be semi holy in the future. He is a dragon and Phoenix among people.

Now, the dragon in the crowd is in front, and his tone is obviously not good. Ni Xian is so scared that his legs soften, kneels to the ground and says loudly: "The student is wronged! The student is wronged! Although the student is wrong in the fight, he can't clap his hands on such a thing. If he hadn't repeatedly provoked us, how could I do a heavy hand! Adult, wronged! The student admits that he has a personal feud with Tian Lu, but it's not as shameless as he said!"

The Tian family's father and son trembled with anger. Like the previous words, they just wanted to turn bullying into an ordinary fight.

Fang Yun nodded and stared at Ni Xian. His eyes became especially bright because of the power of talent and courage, like the bright moon at night. Then he said slowly: "Ni Xian, you should know that if there is a half empty word in the court, the crime will be even worse! Once we confirm that there is something untrue in your words, we will punish you severely!"

Ni Xian glanced at his father Ni Kuo instinctively.

Ni Kuo stepped forward and said, "Sir, can I speak?"

Fang Yun said, "well, you are the father of the defendant. The defendant is young. If the defendant doesn't know how to answer, you can answer for him."

Ni Kuo was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "my son is so strong that he became enemies with Tian Lu. The main reason is the dispute over the ranking of the Academy. My son mocked him that day. Tian Lu accused my son. My son was humiliated in public before he started. Tian Lu, tell the truth, did you accuse my son that day?"

Tian Lu said angrily, "Ni Xian did evil in the Academy, I......"

Ni Kuo suddenly interrupted Tian Lu and said, "I just ask you, do you blame my son?"

Tian Lu's momentum was weak and said, "he mocked me first, and I naturally fought back."

Ni Kuo immediately looked at Fang Yun and said, "Sir, you heard it, too. But what you don't know is that my son didn't do it that day. Instead, a few days later, he heard someone secretly slander him. In addition, someone said that Tian Lu slandered him and brought someone to fight Tian Lu!"

Fang Yun asked, "Tian Lu, did you ever slander Ni Xian afterwards?"

Tian Lu quickly shook his head and said, "it's impossible. After refuting Ni Xian that day, I was worried that Ni Xian would retaliate. I've been hesitating whether to confess to him. How can I continue to slander!"

"Oh? I'm afraid Ni Xian will retaliate? Ni Xian has many bad deeds before? Explain what you've seen with your own eyes one by one." Fang Yun said.

Ni Kuo's eyes showed anxiety and wanted to refute, but he thought of his previous palm and didn't dare to speak. The other defendants and their sons were silent and didn't dare to fight the vigorous county magistrate.

Tian Lu immediately said, "the students have seen Ni Xian block their classmates in the academy or on the road for three times, and have seen Ni Xian flirt with female students at least four times. As for hearing Ni Xian say that there are too many things to bully."

"Oh, have those people ever sued officials?" Fang Yun asked.

"Ni Xian is very shrewd. He only bullies our poor children. Where will anyone sue the officials? As for those female students, although they have a good family background, they are similar to Ni Xian, and Ni Xian is only frivolous. By the way, the students heard that Ni Xian once..."

Ni Xian suddenly glared at Tian Lu and shouted, "Tian Lu! Are you looking for death!"

Tian Lu's body trembled and his eyes showed panic. He didn't dare to go on.

"Bold!" Fang Yun suddenly patted the startling wood, and the courage of his writing was booming. The strong wind came out of thin air and swept in all directions.

Everyone's clothes were blown up and the pages turned. Many people instinctively screamed and looked at Fang Yun in awe.

"Students know their mistakes! Students know their mistakes!" Ni Xian quickly bowed his head and begged for mercy.

Fang Yunleng snorted and said, "if you dare to threaten the plaintiff in the court, you can see how domineering you are! What you just said has been recorded and will be dealt with afterwards. If you dare to roar in the court, don't blame the county for severely punishing you! Tian Lu, continue."

Tian Lu lowered his head and said, "that's a rumor heard by the students. It's not what he saw with his own eyes. It's not suitable to talk nonsense in the court."

Fang Yun said, "it's bad. If this rumor has no impact on you, you don't say it. But if it has an impact on you, it involves whether you are afraid of Ni Xian. Let's ask the county, what impact does that rumor have on you?"

Tian Lu was silent for a long time and said slowly, "after hearing the rumor, the students were even more afraid."

"Then tell me the rumors in detail." when Fang Yun spoke, he looked at Ni Kuo and Ni Xian's father and son. They wanted to explain, but they didn't dare to open their mouth.

Tian Lu was silent for a moment and said: "Everyone in the Academy knows this. Ni Xian ran into a young girl and was very pleased with her beauty. When he learned that she was a civilian daughter, he wanted to buy her into the Ni family as a servant girl. The servant girl is not even as good as a concubine. The family disagreed. Who doesn't want his daughter to be a wife? Here, rumors are consistent, but later rumors are inconclusive. Some say ni Xian defiled the young girl, and the girl committed suicide in shame and anger. Others say Ni Xian always abandons her. She wants to marry a famous family. She is afraid that the girl will ruin her reputation and kill her. In short, the woman is dead after all. There are different opinions about why she died. "

Fang Yun turned to look at the general book of the prison and asked, "can the prison record the death of this girl?"

The chief criminal secretary was stunned and hurriedly said, "Ning'an is a big county. It is difficult to estimate the dead every year. The lower official is not clear."

Fang Yun nodded and asked, "Tian Lu, do you know the girl's name?"

Tian Lu shook his head, but his father Tian Fusheng said, "report to your excellency. Cao min remembers that the girl's surname is Lu and her maiden name is Ping'er. She lives in the west of the city, as if she were in Laohuai lane."

"Ni Xian, have you ever heard of this girl?" Fang Yun looked directly at Ni Xian.

Ni Xian looks strange and seems to be struggling. His father Ni Kuo hurriedly said, "my Lord, the dog son did have a relationship with the LV Ping. The dog son also wanted to marry her, but later the two broke up because of the relationship, and the woman hanged a beam and killed herself. I went to the LV family to apologize in person and obtained the understanding of the LV family."

Fang Yun nodded and said, "this woman's business involves whether Ni Xian acts recklessly on weekdays, and where is the chief book of the prison!" as he said, Fang Yun took out an order sign from the sign box.

"The officer is here." the chief criminal Secretary hurried forward.

"You send two people to the Lu family and bring the Lu family to the county government."

"Promise!" the chief criminal secretary came forward to take the order and left the lobby to find someone.

Fang Yun Yu Guang saw that Ni Xian's legs were shaking gently, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Fang Yun said, "return to this case. The first fight between you two was due to a quarrel of words. Then why did Ni Xian beat him repeatedly and even burn and cut him?"

Ni Kuo bowed his hand and said, "after the dog beat Tian Lu, I wanted to stop, but I always heard Tian Lu curse and slander behind his back, so I started again and again! My Lord, I and the dog were influenced by adults and decided to plead guilty and serve the law. I not only want to compensate the Tian family for a thousand liang of grain silver, but also let the dog apologize in public and flog 30 in the Academy, and ban it for a year to make an example!"

Tian's father and son were stunned. If Ni Kuo had made this punishment earlier, they would never continue to sue the official. Let Ni Xian admit his mistake and flog in public, which has exceeded their expectations. The case may be settled.

The Tian family and his son look forward to Fang Yun with gratitude.
