"you… "
The soldiers blocking the road ahead stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.
If Wei Huangan had killed a human, Zuo Xiang and his party would certainly mobilize the power of the Holy Temple in the capital to suppress it, but the barbarian private soldiers are not human, so the situation becomes very delicate.
At least for now, it seems that Wei Huangan still has some restraint in his actions, but it is unknown whether he will kill someone next.
The Jinshi general said, "Please wait a moment. I will send a letter to the cabinet for instructions."
"No need!" Meng Jingye said, and summoned the People's Wentai. With the power of the Wentai, he manifested a long translucent bridge that passed over the heads of the soldiers, and then he stepped onto the bridge.
Wei Huangan and Chen Jing immediately followed.
"You are making an enemy of the Jingguo court, and you are making an enemy of the Dongsheng Pavilion!" The Jinshi general was so angry that his face turned red.
The three ignored it and continued to move forward, while some people behind them quickly followed.
There were more than a thousand people who were blocked outside, but only more than sixty of them dared to go up the bridge. Without exception, these people were either at least Hanlin scholars, or came from at least a wealthy family, or were students of the Holy Academy, and there were even some famous elders with upright character. Any one of them could not be killed by the Left Prime Minister at will.
The guarding soldiers allowed them to walk towards the main gate of Quanyuan Garden, but General Jinshi kept passing letters in secret.
Wei Huangan said as he walked: "I don't know much about Shengyuan Continent. The Fang family arrived here so quickly. Could it be the trick of the Zong family or the left prime minister?"
Before Meng Jingye could answer, an old Hanlin behind him said, "We have already inquired clearly. Just yesterday, the left prime minister ordered the Minister of Personnel, Cha Wenyi, to go to Ji County and take several people from the Fang family to the capital overnight on a flying leaf airship. At the same time, the cabinet issued a transfer order, transferring Cai He, the prefect of Qingwu Prefecture, back to the capital, and appointed Ji Zhibai's fellow townsman and friend as the prefect of Qingwu Prefecture and acting magistrate of Ning'an County, and Ji Zhibai went with him as a staff member. They are about to launch a purge of Ning'an County and prepare to embezzle Fang Xusheng's achievements in Ning'an County."
Zeng Yue said angrily: "The envoys from all the palaces are in Ning'an County, why does Ji Zhibai dare to act recklessly?"
"The Eastern Saint Pavilion issued an order today, saying that the palace examination is over, and all scholars in the palaces above the Juren level should return to the Holy Academy to report on their duties. Only the Xiucai or Tongsheng are allowed to stay in Ning'an County. Although this document is not written by the Eastern Saint, unless the palaces are prepared to fight against the new Eastern Saint, they can only return to the Holy Academy first and then find a way to return to Ning'an County."
Wei Huangan sneered, "What a good trick! Liu Shan is indeed a treacherous prime minister. Fang Xusheng's previous attack only injured him, but may not shake his foundation. The left prime minister must have other plans and is trying to take revenge on Fang Xusheng."
When everyone reached the gate of Quan Garden, the guards immediately stopped them.
Wei Huangan and all the others opened their mouths and fired verbal attacks, with spears and swords in front, forcing the guards away and rushing forward quickly.
After passing the lotus pond and the main garden, before reaching the South Garden where Yang Yuhuan and others lived, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.
"Fang Li, you shameless beast, calling you cousin is really a disgrace to Fang Daniu! And you accomplices who are worse than pigs and dogs, Fang Yuncheng was a false saint. He established a wealthy family and earned great fame and benefits for our Fang family in Ji County. As soon as he passed away, you joined forces to bully Yang Yuhuan, a lonely woman. You will be punished!"
Fang Li was not famous, but all the scholars present knew that Fang Yun had written "Shang Zhongyong". There were two geniuses in Ji County at that time. One was Fang Yun and the other was Fang Zhongyong. Fang Yun was of a higher generation and was Fang Zhongyong's uncle.
Both of them passed the examination and became students of Tongsheng. After that, Fang Yun devoted himself to study and often stayed at home. However, Fang Zhongyong was forced by his father to write poems for others to make money, and he had no time to study at all.
Later, Fang Yun first wrote a poem to warn Fang Zhongyong, and then wrote "The Story of Zhongyong" to criticize Fang Li, forcing Fang Li to never hurt Fang Zhongyong again. This gave Fang Zhongyong time to read.
Since "The Story of Zhongyong" is so famous, and the story of Fang Yun and Fang Li and Fang Zhongyong is quite eventful, all the scholars present remembered Fang Li.
Upon hearing this name, all the scholars showed a look of sudden realization, and many of them began to curse in a low voice.
"This old man Liu Shan is really vicious!"
"If he wants to take revenge on Fang Yun's family, he doesn't need to show up in person. He only needs to support some people in the Fang family to take power, especially those like Fang Li who hate Fang Yun. Fang Li and his people will naturally find ways to seize power in the Fang family and will definitely repay Liu Shan for his kindness."
"Although a child bride is considered a wife under the law, she was not married in a formal ceremony, nor did she have any offspring. Yang Yuhuan's status is extremely awkward. Once the Left Prime Minister defines this as a family dispute, outsiders will not be able to intervene. The entire Fang family will be swallowed up by the people supported by the Left Prime Minister, and all kinds of sacred objects and wealth will become the Left Prime Minister's property."
"If Saint Fang Xu is still alive in heaven, he would probably be furious and unable to tolerate it! Unable to tolerate it!" said an old scholar with great sorrow.
When they arrived at the gate of South Garden, they saw Fang Li in a gorgeous outfit. He stretched out his hand and twisted the beard on his chin. He smiled calmly and said, "Danniu, I thought you had followed Fang Xusheng for many days and learned to be smart. Now I see that you are just so-so. If Yang Yuhuan kept Fang Yun's son, we would naturally regard the child as the young master of the Fang family and assist him with all our strength, so that our Fang family would prosper. But now, Fang Yun has no son, so we must adopt a son to Yuhuan to protect the reputation of our Fang family."
"If you want to adopt a child to be your madam's, then of course you have to choose him yourself. The power of the Fang family should naturally be in your hands! You, Fang Li, came here for no reason and wanted to force Fang Zhongyong to be your madam's son. And then said that you would manage the Fang family in place of Zhongyong. If this isn't robbing by trickery, what is it? You are even more vicious than a robber!" Fang Daniu roared.
When Wei Huangan and others looked, they saw a beautiful woman in mourning clothes standing in the courtyard. She had white clothes, white hands, and a white face. She was looking into the distance with eyes as cold as ice.
A little fox lay in the woman's arms, barking angrily at Fang Li.
“Ahhh…”
Fang Li's face darkened, and he said, "Although Yuhuan is a child bride, she was not married formally, so it is illegal to let her be the head of the Fang family. In our human race, we pay attention to seniority and respect for the young and the old. I am the newly elected head of the Fang family. If Yuhuan is allowed to take charge of the Fang family, it is against etiquette. According to the rules of our human race, from now on, the wealthy Fang family will be decided by me, the head of the family, and the elders of the family! The elders have lived in Ji County for a long time and it is inconvenient for them to come here. They have entrusted me with full authority to handle this matter. I will devote myself to the Fang family until my death!"
"Bullshit!" Fang Daniu cursed.
"Fang Daniu, remember your identity! I am the head of the Fang family, and if it weren't for Fang's luck, you wouldn't know which road in Ji County you are picking up cow dung on right now. Even so, you are just the Fang family's gatekeeper, the housekeeper, and the servant. How can you compare with me? You have no right to speak here, get out of here!"
"Fang Li, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Fang Daniu was furious.
The barbarians behind Fang Daniu stared at Fang Li, making soft whimpering sounds in their throats and their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Fang Li took two steps back in fear and stood behind the Minister of Personnel, Cha Wenyi, and said, "Master Cha, can your official seal really suppress these barbarians?"
"In the capital, not to mention the Barbarian Marquis, even the Great Barbarian King can be suppressed!"
"What a big tone!" Wei Huangan and others entered the main gate of Nanyuan.
