It is not illegal to collide with someone in the Xuehai Competition, so it can only be decided by the Lidian.
Fang Yun didn't care about the attacks from the Zong and Lei families at all. He quickly drove the flying boat back to his tenth residence and began to prepare to enter the Xuemang ancient land.
In the ancient land of Xuemang, there are some unknown taboos and some special places.
For example, dragon-patterned rice cannot be mixed with other things and put into seashells.
In addition, the social structure of the Xuemang Ancient Land is completely different from that of the Shengyuan Continent. The Shengyuan Continent is a relatively balanced society composed of the Holy Academy, the imperial court, the gentry and the common people. The etiquette of the Holy Academy, the laws of the human race, the laws of the imperial court and the laws of the clans are also intertwined, with the Holy Academy and the imperial court being the most important.
Although there are remnants of the patriarchal system in Shengyuan Continent, today when the power of the Legalists has slightly surpassed that of the Palace of Rites, national laws have already begun to gradually penetrate and continuously weaken family laws.
Especially in Ning'an City, Fang Yun's verdict that fathers killing their sons and husbands killing their wives were more serious caused great controversy.
The controversy has not ended to this day.
But in the ancient land of Xuemang, clan system is supreme, and a huge clan network has been formed based on the standards of legitimate and illegitimate children, family division, seniority and literary status. There is no so-called national law, and anyone who studies the holy way of Legalism will be strangled there.
The patriarchal system of the ancient land of Xuemang is so strict that only a few old stubborn people in the Li Hall strongly support it, believing that it should restore the ancient Taoist tradition, the style of the Zhou emperor and the Confucian spirit.
However, the old stubborn people in the Hall of Etiquette were slapped in the face by the saints because they denounced the Ancient Land of Blood Mang as heresy and believed that the Ancient Land of Blood Mang was obstructing the development of the Holy Way of the human race by radicalizing the Holy Way of Confucius.
Many people sent letters one after another, all talking about the heads of the Zong and Lei families.
An hour later, the guard of the tenth dormitory rushed in.
"Master, the old master Wu Jiu from the Hall of Etiquette is here."
Fang Yun frowned. This was not a good sign. He didn't expect that the Lei family and the Zong family would still force him to step forward.
If it was someone from an ordinary ceremonial hall, Fang Yun could directly refuse, but when a great scholar came, even if he was a virtual saint, he had to give him face.
Among the ten sons of the Wu family, the ninth is the most virtuous.
This was said by the semi-saint Li Daoyuan himself, so much so that the Wu family changed the name of the then sixteen-year-old Wu Wenhua to Wu Jiu to thank the semi-saint for his praise. Later, his peers all called Wu Jiu "Old Nine".
Later, Wu Jiu lived up to everyone's expectations, became a great scholar, and became a minister in the Hall of Rites.
Fang Yun walked out of the door quickly, but before he reached the gate, his voice floated out of the door: "Student Fang Yun, meeting Mr. Wu Jiu."
An old voice immediately came from outside the door and said, "Fang Xusheng is too polite. He is the leader of a country and is known all over the world. His twelve lotus pedestals astonish the world. He must be a great master."
As Fang Yun walked out, he looked at the purple-robed scholar outside the door.
Wu Jiu was dressed in an ordinary purple palace robe, his hair and beard were all white, his face was angular, but his eyes were kind.
When they got closer, they bowed to each other as a greeting, marking their formal meeting.
"Mr. Wu Jiu is honored to have you here. It brings honor to our humble home."
"Saint Fang Xu is too polite. I am here for official business, so I will make it short. The heads of the Zong and Lei families came to the Li Palace together, accusing you of violating the rules of Xuehai and violating etiquette in the race. As a Xu Saint, you are not a role model for the human race, and you should be punished more severely. The Li Palace has failed to persuade them, so I have no choice but to ask you to go to the Li Palace to mediate."
Fang Yun kept staring at Wu Jiu, observing every detail of him. Wu Jiu spoke frankly and with full energy. His eyes were very steady, and it was obvious that every word he said was true, especially the word "mediation", which was a quote from what Fang Yun said in Ning'an City.
Among Fang Yun's reforms in Ning'an County, one of them is that conflicts over small interests can be mediated, which can save time in the prison. This is actually a disguised deprivation of the power that originally belonged to the village elders. Ordinary people think this reform is nothing, but the legalists are generous in praising it and value Fang Yun more and more.
There are even rumors that because of this seemingly insignificant reform, the Legalist elder is preparing to find an opportunity to issue Fang Yun a third-class pardon order. If Fang Yun commits a minor crime, such as accidentally injuring others, or using war poems to launch attacks in the capital, etc., as long as he takes out the pardon order, the Holy Court will block all news and prohibit anyone from discussing it. If anyone discusses the matter, they will be held accountable by the Criminal Court.
This kind of pardon was originally a policy implemented when the aristocratic families controlled the Holy Academy. For a period of time, pardons could even be traded. After the Legalists came to power, the issuance of pardons became extremely strict. A semi-saint family could only use a first-class pardon once, a second-class pardon twice, and a third-class pardon three times within a hundred years.
Over the years, people have often said that the Criminal Court wanted to abolish the pardon order. Everyone knew that this was a way for the Criminal Court to test the attitudes of the various families. The various families reacted very strongly, so the Criminal Court had to give up.
Fang Yun noticed that the ceremonial hall did not favor the Zong and Lei families, so he smiled and said, "Since Mr. Wu Jiu has come in person, Fang Yun will go there. Please."
"please."
Both parties boarded the flying boat and left Chongwenyuan.
When they met students from Chongwen Academy on the road, they looked at the book curiously and then passed the book to their friends.
Before Fang Yun arrived at the gate of Chongwenyuan, a man came after him on a flying boat.
"Fang Yun, why does the Li Hall want to see you... Meet Mr. Wu Jiu." Zhang Zhixing frowned.
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't panic. The Hall of Ceremony invites me to have a cup of tea."
Zhang Zhixing said, "Is the tea in the Li Hall so delicious... Well, if the Zong and Lei families succeed, I will gather the students of Chongwen Academy to block the door of the Li Hall!"
Wu Jiu remained calm and said, "As a student of the Holy Academy, I should abide by the rules of the Holy Academy. How can you do this?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Generally speaking, things will make noises if they are not in balance, but we must also follow the rules of the Holy Academy, be orderly, and not make trouble."
Zhang Zhixing laughed and said, "Got it. I will invite all my friends from the Holy Academy to go for a walk in front of the ceremonial hall."
Wu Jiu just shook his head and said nothing.
Zhang Zhixing sailed away, and Fang Yun continued to fly towards the gate of Chongwenyuan.
After the flying boat flew for a while, Wu Jiu glanced at Fang Yun and said, "Things will make noise when they are not in balance. This saying makes a lot of sense."
"Thank you for your compliment, sir." Fang Yun replied politely.
Wu Jiu stopped talking. Everyone arrived in front of Chongwen Gate, got off the flying boat, passed through Chongwen Gate, arrived at the Holy Courtyard, and then walked towards the Ceremonial Hall together.
After walking for a while, Fang Yun suddenly asked, "Mr. Wu Jiu, what is the attitude of the Li Hall?"
Wu Jiu said: "Every elder has a different attitude."
“For example, you…” Fang Yun did not give up.
Wu Jiu showed a helpless look, and then said seriously: "Fang Xusheng is the first six-headed talent of the human race, and he has obtained tens of thousands of Wenxin fish. Just a simple collision with the ship, just apologize."
Fang Yun looked at Wu Jiu in surprise. He didn't expect that one of these old gentlemen in the ceremonial hall would help him so much.
A university scholar behind Wu Jiu explained in a low voice: "The Palace of Rites has always been strict about respect and hierarchy. If you had smashed the ship of a great scholar, the Palace of Rites would probably have dealt with you severely. But you only hit an ordinary university scholar and Hanlin. Such a small matter is not worth mobilizing troops."
Wu Jiu didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with this statement.
Fang Yun was stunned, then suddenly realized. He always thought that the Li Palace was unkind and too strict in everything. Now he realized that the Li Palace rarely cared about him, a virtual saint, but was very good to him. For example, last time, the Li Palace sent down the Three Rites Fire just because the Lei family did not send a gift, and this time they only talked about mediation instead of punishment, which was the best proof.
