Afterwards, another sound like thunder rang out in Baling City.
"Master Wei is right. I don't care what others say. My second uncle was killed by a water monster. The officials of Qing Kingdom not only refused to seek justice, but also confiscated my second uncle's family property and exchanged it for treasures to compensate the Dongting Jiaowang Palace. I swore that year that whoever can kill the Dongting Lake Jiaowang, I will serve him at my service! Fang Xusheng is so arrogant, even more arrogant than killing the Dongting Jiaowang! From today on, I dare not say anything about other places, but in Baling, if anyone dares to harm Fang Xusheng, I will be the first to kill you!"
Many people in Baling were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This man was Dai Li, the newly appointed general of Baling Prefecture a few years ago. He was very famous in Baling Prefecture, but he was a mess. He had been a troublemaker since he was a child, but he was very talented. After passing the examination to become a scholar, he did not study hard. He actually wanted to unify the ruffians in Baling and establish the largest gang in Baling City and even in Shengyuan Continent.
Although this man was a savage, he never bullied the good and was even known as a chivalrous man. He was the idol of many children in Baling City.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before one of Wei Dongshan's disciples discovered that this boy was a rough diamond. He forcibly accepted Dai Li as his disciple and began to discipline him strictly, thus extinguishing Dai Li's great dream of becoming the king of the underworld in Shengyuan Continent.
However, even now, Dai Li hangs around Baling City whenever he has time, specifically teaching those hooligans who bully others a lesson. To this day, the hooligans in Baling City still regard Dai Li as the leader of Baling City.
This person is neither a Qing official nor a Jing official, and his attitude towards the two countries has always been ambiguous, but now he suddenly supports Fang Yun, and is considered an official Jing official.
Two celebrities in Baling City successively supported Fang Yun, and many officials who secretly celebrated were extremely anxious, because the people's hearts were the easiest to be bought, and some small favors would make people forget the big issues, not to mention that what they did was something that made people happy. At least from today on, the people could not say anything about Fang Yun, and even if Fang Yun made mistakes, it would be impossible to cover up today's great achievements.
But the officials of Qing did not dare to target Fang Yun. Now Fang Yun's power was overwhelming that of the King of Dongting Dragon. The officials of Qing were not stupid enough to give their heads away at this time. It was possible that the King of Dongting Dragon would take out his anger on the officials of Qing in order to please Fang Yun and vent his anger.
Fang Yun looked at the Dongting Jiao King, thought for a moment, and said with a thunderous voice: "From today on, you will go to the state government office every day to sign in and ask what needs to be done. From now on, the important task of drainage and drought prevention in Xiangzhou will be handed over to you."
Many people in Baling City laughed. Only Governor Fang could make the dignified Dongting Jiao King run errands every day like a yamen runner. Even the king of a country could not do it.
The Dongting Dragon King raised his head, suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Your Majesty Wenxing Longjue, as the Dongting Dragon King, I am responsible for the climate around Dongting Lake. I will diligently complete the duties you mentioned. As for going to the government office every day, I am too busy to take care of it."
Many people saw the trick. Although the Dongting Dragon King temporarily acknowledged Fang Yun's status, he had his own bottom line and would never be humiliated.
Fang Yun stared at the Dongting Jiao King and looked familiar with him. He said nonchalantly, "Well, Ao Huang is in the war realm and will come to me soon. I will ask him to take you to report."
Dongting Jiao Wang was stunned, his eyes became extremely determined, and he said solemnly: "It is the duty of Dongting Jiao Wang to report to the government office. Even if it is a sea of fire and swords, I will definitely complete it! In addition, if you see Ao Huang... Brother, please tell him that I, the Dongting Water Monster, have always regarded you as my Lord, without any mistake. Anyone who dares to hurt Wen Xinglong Jue in the waters of Dongting Lake will be punished by all the monsters!"
The people of Baling City almost rolled their eyes. The attitude of this Dongting Dragon King changed too quickly. They thought it could fight with Fang Yun for dozens of rounds and at least last for a few months, but who knew it would surrender after just a few words.
The people of Baling City didn't know, but many scholars who had heard of Fang Yun's deeds knew who Ao Huang was. He was a real dragon, and his status was beyond imagination. Even if he caused a huge disaster, the dragon clans of the four seas would help clean it up.
Many people in Baling City asked who Ao Huang was. Many scholars said he was a real dragon, but ordinary people didn't understand why the Dongting Jiao King was so afraid. Later, a scholar had an idea and said, "Ao Huang's status in the dragon clan is equivalent to that of General Dai Li of Baling Prefecture in Baling City."
The people of Baling City immediately understood that Ao Huang was the overlord of the dragon clan, and this rumor began to spread quickly.
Fang Yun looked at the Dongting Dragon King and smiled slightly, thinking that Ao Huang was right. Every time he was promoted to a dragon position, he would go to fight with the water creatures. The Dongting Dragon King had either been beaten by Ao Huang or was frightened by Ao Huang's notoriety and was afraid of being beaten by Ao Huang.
"You should go to the provincial government office for your first roll call today, and shed your dragon form before entering the city." Fang Yun said.
"Yes, sir!" The Dongting Dragon King slapped the water with his four claws and swung his tail, causing huge waves. He flew into the sky with a huge roar and quickly flew to the pier on the river. Then he transformed himself into a middle-aged man in a green brocade robe, with two small horns on his head and a slightly collapsed nose.
The Dongting Dragon King got on a carriage with an unhappy look on his face, threw a pearl to the coachman, and closed his eyes to rest.
Surrounded by a large number of Baling people, the Dongting Dragon King rode in a carriage to the provincial government.
Fang Yun walked down the Yueyang Tower and left slowly.
"What a pleasure!" some Baling people shouted loudly.
Many people in Baling City were talking about this matter and were very excited. This was a major event in recent years, second only to Xiangzhou's return to Qing State, and it concerned everyone in Baling City.
Fang Yun called a carriage and arrived at the provincial government office. He restored his original appearance. The soldier at the door said excitedly that the Dongting Dragon King had already reported for duty and had just left, though he looked very reluctant.
Afterwards, Fang Yun walked towards the courtyard where he lived and saw a Jinshi official standing at the gate from afar.
Fang Yun took a closer look and found that the man was Huo Long, the co-magistrate of Baling Prefecture, a sixth-rank official. Although he did not openly oppose Xiangzhou's return to Jingguo, he had always been on good terms with Qingguan and could be considered a member of Qingguan.
The Tongzhi is the deputy of the prefect and his power can be great or small.
Seeing Fang Yun, Huo Long hurried over, bowed and said with a smile: "Your subordinate Huo Long greets the Governor."
"What brings you here, Mr. Huo?" Fang Yun asked.
Huo Long looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, looked around, and said, "This matter should not be publicized, it is better to discuss it privately."
"good."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he entered the yard and sat down in the pavilion.
Huo Long did not dare to enter the pavilion. He just stood at the foot of the steps, bowed deeply, and said, "Your Excellency, I apologize for your crime."
"Oh? What crime?"
Huo Long stood up and said helplessly, "I was entrusted by someone to come here to explain the whole story, but I don't know whether I should explain it or not, so I apologize in advance."
Fang Yun's mind moved, and he asked, "Is it Ge Yiming's request?"
Huo Long was not surprised at all. He smiled helplessly and said, "Your Excellency is very accurate. It is indeed Ge Yiming. Mr. Ge knew that it would be too abrupt to contact you rashly, so he came to me to resolve the misunderstanding."
