Saint of the Confucian way

The word "roll" of one foot square was suspended in front of Shen Ming, and the beads of sweat as big as beans kept falling from his forehead. His face changed from red to purple, from purple to blue, and from blue to white.

It was quiet inside and outside the main hall. Nearly 100 officials stretched their necks and looked at the word "roll".

Ji knows that Bai, as the No. 1 scholar in Jingguo and a disciple of Zuo Xiang, can force him to say "go away", which shows how serious the situation is.

Tao dingnian, LU Hong and Wen Gu hurriedly held their official seals.

A moment later, Tao dingnian suddenly raised his head, gnashed his teeth and said, "Shen Ming, you old murderer, you have a niece who is not as good as a pig and dog. You dare to poison a pair of legitimate grandchildren of Xiangye!"

"Beast!" LU Hong shook his head gently.

Wen Gu's eyes turned red and said, "Mr. Zuo and Mr. Ji trusted you so much and let you take the important position. Who knows that your Shen family is inhumane! I really want to kill that bitch!"

"I heard that Zuo Xiangda was so angry that he stepped on the green clouds and left Beijing. I don't know where to go!"

"What, is it true?"

"As my old friend in the capital said, now the official department is in a mess. I'm afraid Lord Zuo Xiang will be angry about this!"

"Lord Zuo Xiang is kind to us. I want to kill Shen Ming!"

"Your whole family is dead, and it's not enough to bury Zuo Xiangzhi's grandson!"

"Countless, home of sin!"

"The sentence must be heavy, not light!"

Many officials drink and scold one after another. If this is not the main hall of the county government, they don't know what ugly words they will scold.

Many officials are simply mad with anger. They don't want to protect the left phase, but for themselves!

Zuo Xiang had high hopes for Ning'an County, hoping that officials in Ning'an County could overthrow Fang Yun and, at worst, obstruct Fang Yun's palace test.

But now, people not only failed to obstruct Fang Yun, but people in Ning'an County killed Zuo Xiang's legitimate grandchildren. Later, Zuo Xiang will think of a pair of legitimate grandchildren who died when he heard about officials in Ning'an county.

Niece Shen Ming's poisoning almost cut off the rising channel of officials in Ning'an County!

Many young officials were more frightened than angry.

"It's over, our future is over..."

I don't know who said half a sentence and was shut up, but the invisible panic spread among nearly 100 officials.

Now who dares to say that Fang Yun is wrong is saying that Zuo Xiang's legitimate grandson is worthy of death, which is to wash Shen Ming Lanxiang's guilt!

Fang Yun is right. Naturally, the officials are wrong!

Some officials looked at Fang Yun, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai in the main hall. They were frightened. Now they have been pulled into the thief ship by Shen Ming, neither to stay nor to go.

Sitting opposite is Fang Yun, a person who dares to win the history of a county on his first day in Ning'an County, a person who can make the great Confucian scholars in various halls come and go often. If he doesn't do it, he will be shocked.

Turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands with rain.

Some officials couldn't help but scold themselves for being blind. Before, they underestimated Fang Yun and thought that Fang Yun couldn't fight these officials at all!

Now it seems that Fang Yun doesn't pay attention to the officials present at all!

Fang Yun forbearance before was for the layout of the palace test. Now the layout has been completed. On the same day, he tried Shen Ming with the potential of thunder, and even deliberately used Shen Ming as a bait. All officials of Ning'an county took the bait!

Shen Ming bowed his head and looked pale. The reason why he was arrogant before was that he relied on the identity of Zuo Xiang's relatives. Now, this dependence is gone.

Some officials who made friends with him sighed in their hearts that Shen Ming was completely finished and his spirit was as if he had been evacuated.

Pa

Fang Yun suddenly clapped a startling picture and said, "where is the general book of the house? Come forward and answer."

All the officials trembled slightly by the sound of shock. After hearing Fang Yun's words, they were even more frightened.

Fang Yun is going to attack the officials of Ning'an County!

Even a day ago, if Fang Yun dared to do it, they would dare to resist collectively, but now they dare not.

Zuo Xiang was so angry that he left Beijing. Who dares to say anything?

"The Chief Secretary of Hufang is here!" he saw an old scholar over 50 walking slowly to the door of the main hall, his legs shaking.

The master book is in charge of the household room, and the general secretary of the household room is Shen Ming's confidant.

Fang Yun looked at the general manager of Hufang coldly and said, "I heard that you have a close relationship with Shen Ming. Is it true that your daughter married the Shen family?"

"That's true." Mr. Hufang swallowed hard.

"Oh, is it true that what was said in the anonymous report letter that you and Shen Ming jointly embezzled two workshops in the county, reselled grain, filled their pockets in measuring land and so on?"

"Xiaguan..." the Chief Secretary of Hufang didn't dare to say anything.

Fang Yun said slowly, "the policy of the county's officials is to learn from the past and avoid the future, treat the sick and save people, and the policy of treating the suspects is to be frank and lenient, and resist and be strict. If you confess truthfully, I can give a light sentence, and if you are stubborn, the county should give a heavy punishment."

As an old official, the Chief Secretary of Hufang naturally heard Fang Yun's meaning. The so-called learning from the past and avoiding the future is to take all the personnel related to Shen Ming. The so-called treating the sick and saving the people is that if he sincerely repents and helps Fang Yun expose Shen Ming, he will reduce the punishment, which is tantamount to saving them and will never use capital punishment.

Obviously, Fang Yun knows the way of official governance and can compromise on sentencing, but he will never give in to right and wrong!

"Officer... CONFESS!" the Chief Secretary of the household room half knelt on the ground.

"You......" before Shen Ming finished, Fang Yun suddenly slapped him in the air. The official seal mobilized the power of the temple and hit Shen Ming in the face.

"Pa......"

This slap made Shen Ming stagger and slant back three steps, his face swollen, and the blood slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.

"Hiss..." Shen Ming glared angrily at Fang Yun, covered his left face with his hand, but dared not say a word.

All the officials were silent. Shen Ming was a master bookkeeper after all. Fang Yun said he would fight. This is showing his determination. Whoever dares to jump out and defend Shen Ming will be ruthlessly suppressed!

"Confess your crimes one by one." Fang Yun looked down at the head of the household room half kneeling below.

"Yes..."

Next, the Chief Secretary of Hufang began to confess and tell the story of himself and Shen Ming one by one. However, most of them skillfully said that they were forced by Shen Ming, and they were helpless. Finally, he confessed that he had done something. Although the crime was not light, it was not painful or itchy compared with the front.

In the process, Shen Ming just snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

When the Chief Secretary of the household room confesses, Fang Yun thinks for a moment, makes a judgment, copies the house, confiscates all property, takes 40 staff responsibilities, walks around the street, and then sends it to the army for ten years. If he has made great achievements, his sentence can be commuted. His three sons who participated in the sharing of stolen goods were flogged for 60 and sentenced to three years. His wife also took part in the violation of the law, whipped 20 and sentenced to one year's imprisonment.

"Lord Xie!" the Chief Secretary of Hufang was in a very complicated mood. Fang Yun did what he said, followed the policy of "treating the sick and saving the people", allowed him to commute his sentence by meritorious service, but did not let go of his family members involved in the crime.

The Chief Secretary of the household room looked up again and said, "my Lord, I take the initiative to confess. Can I avoid walking in the street?"

For scholars, walking in the street is a heavier punishment than imprisonment and exile. Some scholars would rather die than walk in the street for public display.

Fang Yun said, "from today on, all officials who are greedy for ink will walk in the street! If you don't want to walk in the street, don't stretch out your hand!"
