Saint of the Confucian way

"Please wait a minute."

Fang Yun handled the paperwork for a quarter of an hour. He found that Ji Zhibai still refused to leave, so he got up and said, "the paperwork has been processed. The officer sent Ji to leave."

"Please," Ji Zhibai said.

Ji Zhibai was in front, Fang Yun was behind, and other officials followed him. They sent Ji Zhibai out of the lobby, bypassed the stone tablet and came to the main gate of the county government.

As Fang Yun walked, he looked out and saw many people standing or kneeling or sitting there. When he saw the people coming out, he got up one after another.

"Ji Qingtian! Master Ji is coming!"

"Thank Ji Qingtian!"

"Thanks to master Ji, otherwise our family will not survive!"

Many people cried excitedly like their dead parents, as if they knew at a glance that Bai would be worth his life.

A few people found that Fang Yun was ashamed and converged slightly.

Fang Yun instinctively frowned.

When he saw the officer who followed Ji Zhibai, he smiled proudly, bowed his hands to the people and said, "don't do this to the people. This is what Ji should do."

At this time, I saw a lame man walking quickly with a family, holding an umbrella for all people, kneeling on the ground with a crying voice and shouting: "master Ji! Master Qingtian! Thank you for your insight last year, otherwise our family would be over! The family has set up a memorial tablet for your longevity, worship every day and worship every year!"

Knowing Bai YILENG, he quickly stepped forward to pick up the middle-aged cripple and said happily, "it's Lao Xing. How's your family?"

Xing lame nodded hard and said, "thanks to you, our family is doing well. That member dare not do anything to our family!"

Ji Zhibai nodded and said, "that's good. Thanks to the love of your parents and villagers, Ji Zhibai bowed deeply and thanked you!" then Ji Zhibai bowed.

"No, no..." the crowd quickly stopped.

Ji knew Bai Qi was embarrassed behind him and said, "after all, the magistrate Fang is in charge of Ning'an county. We can't embarrass him. You folks, you'd better go home. If you encounter something that can't be solved in Ning'an County in the future, I knew Bai would be willing to help!"

"Thank you, master Ji!"

"Thank you, master Ji!"

They turned back three steps at a time, and their faces were full of reluctance to give up.

Some officials sneered at him unabashedly. Ji Zhibai said that he was insinuating that Fang Yun was not as good as him in governing Ning'an County, and even meant to kill him back at any time.

Fang Yun stood behind the threshold, never went out of the gate and looked on coldly.

Seeing that the people were almost gone, Fang Yun looked at the back of those people without expression and said, "give more money next time. The performance is a little poor."

All the officials laughed secretly, and the way of heart was just what the Fang Xu holy meeting said.

Jizhi flashed an embarrassing blush on his white face and turned back and said, "county magistrate Fang, you are the parent official of Ning'an county. I didn't want to blame you more. However, since I am about to take office as an inspector in Mizhou, I have to say a few words."

"What's your advice, master Ji? The county won't put an umbrella for all the people." Fang Yun said.

Ji Zhibai seems not to have heard Fang Yun's irony. He solemnly said, "there is no problem in taking the county under the rule of law, but officials should abide by a heart of benevolence and righteousness. The law is nothing more than human feelings. In some cases, it is good for Fang county magistrate to abide by the law, but it also leads to a loss of benevolence and righteousness!"

As soon as the officials heard it, they realized that it was wrong!

The dispute over rites and laws has always existed. Ji Zhibai is obviously attacking Fang Yun for favoring the law and ignoring benevolence and righteousness. Once the temple catches the handle, even if Fang Yun is an empty saint, he will not give Fang Yun a good face. The old guys in the temple are definitely the most stubborn people in the Shengyuan continent.

They dared to punish the Lei family last year, so they can target Fang Yun this year.

Fang Yun looked indifferent, smiled and said, "although master Ji's words are biased, they can be regarded as a truth. If master Ji has any advice, let's say it together."

Ji knew Bai Ang's first way: "since county magistrate Fang is so quick, I will teach you the way of being an official..."

Ao Huang was annoyed and said angrily, "be careful, Ji Zhibai. You are also worthy to teach Xu Sheng the way of being an official?"

Ji Zhibai smiled and said frankly, "no one knows it by birth. If I teach Fang Xusheng's way of poetry, it's crazy, but if I teach Fang county magistrate's way of being an official, it's right. Prince Huang, do you want to interfere in the government affairs of Jingguo?"

Ao Huang looked at Ji Zhibai and said softly, "be careful with Ben long! An opponent like a pig!"

Ji knew that there was a flash of anger on Bai's face, ignored Ao Huang, looked at Fang Yun and continued: "I've heard of the case that magistrate Fang sentenced. I remember that you encountered such a case on your fifth day in office. A poor farmer ran to the doctor's house to make trouble because he felt that a rich doctor was disorderly in treating diseases. As a result, he was stopped by the doctor's staff and tore up a lot of valuable drugs, which injured the farmer. Magistrate Fang, you, according to the law, let him The farmer compensated the doctor for the medicine. But then what? The farmer sold his family's thin field to pay for it. "

Fang Yun asked, "is there anything wrong?"

Jizhi white channel: "Of course not! After you judged the case, the farmer lost all his wealth and the whole family was miserable. What about the doctor? He was very rich and didn't lack tens of liang of silver. Even if the farmer didn't lose the money, it wouldn't matter to him. You seem fair, but you ruined the family! And when I was the magistrate of Ning'an County, I encountered a similar thing. Do you know how I feel Judgment? "

"But it doesn't matter." Fang Yun still doesn't care.

Ji Zhibai said, "I'll tell you! You saw Xing lame just now. Do you know how his left leg is lame? His leg was broken by a cow outside Zhang!" at this point, Ji Zhibai deliberately stopped and looked at Fang Yun.

After thinking about the general strategy, he said: "The county knows about this case. It was Xing lame who was idle. When he saw the cow eating grass outside Zhang, he went to tease the cow. As a result, the cow was frightened. The cow knocked him down and broke his leg. Finally, the cow ran away and disappeared. Afterwards, you judged that Zhang was wrong and was fully responsible for the medical expenses. Speaking of this, the county will also participate in your abuse of the law and dereliction of duty!"

Ji Zhibai laughed again and said: "Fang Yun, Fang Yun, you are conceited and intelligent, but you have no benevolence and righteousness. Although Xing lame is wrong, you don't know that he not only has an old mother to support, but also has a wife and two young children. If we don't judge Zhang Yuanwai to compensate him for his medical expenses, we will compensate the yellow cattle. The Xing family will be ruined! To Zhang, a yellow cattle and those medical expenses It's insignificant. Can you watch Xing lame's family break down and die because of his small mistake? Oh, you can. Your punishment for the farmer is no benevolence and no lover! County magistrate Fang, I tell you that they are flesh and blood and emotional people, not cold laws! "

Some officials looked worried and knew that Bai had hit Fang Yun's weakness.

The harsh Legalists of the Qin Dynasty, coupled with tyranny, led to the rebellion of the people. Later officials were much more careful. Too harsh judgments will inevitably attract criticism.
