Lian Huan straightened his neck and shouted like an upright censor: "I don't accept the punishment from the county lord! It is my duty to give advice, what's wrong with that? Your judgment is unfair!"
At the same time, several officials took a step forward, gathered together, and stared at Fang Yun together, with a faint intention of joining forces to fight.
Fang Yun remained calm as he glanced at everyone, noting every subtle movement.
Some took a step, some took half a step, some raised their feet but hesitated, some stood still, some had mocking and teasing expressions... Fang Yun saw everything.
The private soldiers behind Fang Yun were annoyed, and then they saw a twenty-year-old black-clothed giant step forward and shouted: "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of Xu Sheng!"
The person who was speaking was Fang Yun's cousin Fang Yingwu, who loved the streets of red-light districts but was also well-versed in academics and was planning to hone his skills for a few years before taking part in the imperial examination.
"There is no virtual saint here, only the officials of Ning'an County. Outsiders are not allowed to interrupt!" Lian Huan rebuked bluntly.
Fang Yingwu sneered and said, "I am an aide to County Magistrate Fang and have the right to make suggestions on government affairs!"
"This is an important matter for the county, please leave!" said the Dianshi Lian Huan.
Although Fang Yingwu was a juren, he had no official position in Ning'an County, so he could only step back and say, "If anyone dares to disrespect Fang Xusheng, as a juren, I also have the right to make suggestions!"
Lian Huan looked directly at Fang Yun again, bowed his hands, and said, "Master Fang, please give me a reasonable reason. What kind of mistake did I make that I have to write a letter of apology? If you can't give me an explanation, I will go to the capital to file a complaint!"
Lian Huan took a step forward, and many officials followed him. The atmosphere in the county government suddenly became tense.
Nunu arched his back and let out a soft whimpering sound from his throat, like a kitten with its fur standing on end, as if facing a great enemy, and glared at the officials of Ning'an County.
Ao Huang wanted to scatter the officials with a dragon roar, but this was the county government office, and before he left, Fang Yun repeatedly and sternly warned him not to interfere in the palace examination, otherwise it would most likely lead to a reduction in his rating.
The moment Fang Yun stepped into Ning'an County, the palace examination had already begun!
Ao Huang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, staring at Fang Yun, not knowing what he was up to.
Fang Yun had a blank expression on his face and a cold gaze. He did not look at Lian Huan, but instead looked at the blank space behind the stone tablet. He slowly said, "When I saw the blank space on the stone tablet, I suddenly realized how important it is. Leaving it blank would be a waste of resources, so I was about to think of a few words to fill in the blank, but I was interrupted by Shen Zhubu."
The officials who were originally in high spirits were all stunned, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads. Their morale was immediately reduced to less than 10%. There was a lot of mystery in Fang Yun's words!
This is a stone tablet of warnings, with Xunzi's holy words on the front. Fang Yun wants to fill in the blanks, either he is crazy or he has enough support.
Regardless of whether Fang Yun could leave the words on the stone tablet in the end, his behavior was very important. Even if it was interrupted by the chief clerk Shen Ming or the higher-ranking Transport Department Chief Geng Ge, Fang Yun had the right to rebuke him.
It can even be said that Fang Yun is exploring the holy path!
Lian Huan's face flashed with regret, and then he gritted his teeth as if remembering something. He said, "Lord Fang is making up lies to accuse us of a crime we didn't commit, and using the stone tablet as an excuse. It's despicable."
Fang Yun's face was stern, full of the authority of a county lord, and he said, "I just thought of sixteen words, but was interrupted by Shen Zhubu, and then blocked by Lian Dianshi. I almost forgot them. Fortunately, I am a determined writer and finally remembered them. Let's write them down in public."
"Hmph!" Lian Huan snorted coldly.
"Someone, bring a table!"
"Yes!" The county government official left in a hurry and returned soon, bringing a large table with the four treasures of the study on it.
Yang Yuhuan immediately stepped forward to grind ink for Fang Yun.
Fang Yun selected a wolf-hair brush with harder bristles, dipped it in ink, picked up the brush and started writing, all in one go.
"Your salary is the blood and sweat of the people. It is easy to abuse the people, but it is hard to deceive God!"
As soon as the sixteen words were written, a bright yellow light surged out from Fang Yun's body, which suddenly changed Fang Yun's aura, making him look dignified, majestic, generous and kind.
Everyone was stunned. They did not expect such a strange phenomenon to happen. Moreover, these sixteen words had great momentum, like an order to the world and a warning to all officials.
At this moment, Fang Yun has the power of a king!
Lian Huan frightened Wen Gong so much that he shook slightly, because with just one glance, he felt as if there was a king standing in the sky looking down at him, warning him that the income of officials was earned with the blood and sweat of the people. You think that the lower-class people are easy to bully, but you can't hide it from God!
The whole piece of paper suddenly flew up, and then the sixteen large black characters turned light gold, broke away from the paper, and flew into the air.
The sixteen words shook at the same time, and suddenly formed a loud dragon roar that pierced through the clouds and split the rocks, spreading for thousands of miles.
Within a radius of thousands of miles, everyone instinctively lowered their heads, because everyone felt a solemn voice descending from the end of the sky, reciting these sixteen words.
Lian Huan was completely shocked.
"Dragon... Dragon Roar Imperial Edict? This... Isn't this a phenomenon that only occurs when the monarch issues an important imperial edict?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
The eyes of the officials in Ning'an County were dull. The chief clerk Shen Ming, who had interrupted Fang Yun earlier, shrank his neck in fear. He thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had not said anything excessive and that it was Lian Huan who was being aggressive. Otherwise, even the left prime minister would not be able to save him just for the crime of blocking the imperial edict of Long Yin.
Many officials who were originally following Lian Huan took a step back, looking at Lian Huan with fear and pity. When Long Yin's imperial edict came out, Lian Huan's behavior was almost like disobeying the imperial edict, and it was equivalent to disobeying an extremely important imperial edict.
It would not be a big deal for a university scholar to disobey the imperial edict. At most he could resign. But if a mere scholar disobeyed the imperial edict, the consequences would be disastrous.
After the sixteen large pale golden characters stayed in the sky for a moment, they suddenly flew to the stone tablet like young swallows returning to their nests!
The sixteen large characters were imprinted on the back of the Rujie stone tablet.
Your salary and benefits are the people’s hard work. It is easy to bully the people, but it is difficult to deceive God!
Buzz…
Every county, prefecture and state government office in the Ten Kingdoms has a stone tablet with the warning "Gong Sheng Ming" inscribed on it, but now, all the tablets resonate!
Buzz…
Afterwards, each stone tablet spread the Dragon Roar Imperial Decree in all directions. The officials and people of the ten countries heard it clearly, and everyone naturally knew that this was the work of Xu Sheng Fang Yun.
"Lian Huan, do you admit your guilt?" Fang Yun's tone was apparently calm, but surrounded by the bright yellow light, his voice echoed with the Dragon Roar Imperial Edict, and was filled with supreme majesty, as if he was ruling the world.
Lian Huan wanted to grit his teeth and not speak, but a mighty force descended upon him, causing his body to tremble, and he lowered his head, involuntarily surrendering, "Your humble servant... admits his guilt."
"It's good that he admits his guilt. Come, take away his official seal and let the 'Chief Secretary of the Rites' take over the post of Dianshi temporarily!"
Lian Huan was extremely unwilling and wanted to fight back, but when he saw two ten-foot-tall Ma Manhous approaching him, he was so frightened that his legs went limp.
The bodies of these two barbarian lords were burning with dark evil spirits. Once they started to attack, except for the old general Ding Haosheng who could stop them, the rest of the Ning'an County officials present would be killed within thirty breaths.
The two Ma Man Hous were not docile little beasts. One of them stretched out his big hand and grabbed the official seal on Lian Huan's waist. He pulled it hard, and with a "swish", Lian Huan's coat was torn off.
The officials of Ning'an County turned their heads away, unable to bear to look at him. He looked almost as miserable as Geng Ge who had been unconscious before.
It was not until this moment that they realized that Fang Yun was luring the snake out of its hole! (To be continued...)
