"Fang Yun, what's going on? Lei Shushan said that you are going too far and actually booked the A-level in the construction and agricultural departments!"

"Is what Lei Shushan said true? It's over, it's over, you've been caught! Not only have you offended Lei Shushan, you've also offended the Gong family and the Nong family! The people of these two families are not good at fighting, but they are very good at being serious!"

"You are worthy of being a dignified virtual saint! This is the Fang Yun in my mind! You're right. Since you want to fight, you don't have to worry about saying it out loud. Instead, it will become your motivation. Don't care about the attacks of those little scoundrels, as flies and insects are chirping and you don't have to spend the autumn and winter." Yan Yukong's letter was completely different from that of other friends.

Fang Yun didn't care about this matter at first, but he couldn't help but nodded after seeing Yan Yukong's letter. This insight alone was far beyond everyone else. If it weren't for him, Yan Yukong would definitely become the brightest star of this era.

Before becoming a virtual saint, Fang Yun would be cautious, fearing that such things would bring serious consequences to himself, but now, when the wind blows, his heart remains unchanged and his body remains unstained by dust.

Fang Yun smiled slightly, and vaguely discovered that he had reached the perfect and flawless level of "a master of verbal swords". Both his verbal sparring and his own will had reached the peak, sharp and unmatched, and no one could stop him.

With just a little preparation, you can make a breakthrough and become a talented scholar.

However, this last step requires you to show your edge!

The word "藏锋" in the Cang锋 Jinshi and the Cang锋 poem has the same meaning. Once you become a Cang锋 Jinshi, your temperament will be more humble and you will rarely get angry, but once you use your verbal sparring, the power will inevitably be enhanced in a short time.

From then on, the longer the sword of tongue brews in the literary talent, the more powerful it will be.

There was once a Jinshi who did not use his sword for fifteen years after becoming a Jinshi. After becoming a Hanlin, he used his sword to thunder and killed a top-level Saint Son Demon Marquis with one sword. Even the top genius of the human race could not kill a Saint Son Demon Marquis with one sword when he just became a Hanlin.

Some people even said that if a great scholar could hide his sword for ten thousand years and his sword came out to split the sky, if a semi-saint did not dodge, he would definitely be injured!

Fang Yun entered the literary list holding the official seal and found an article to which many scholars had responded. It was Lei Shushan's declaration of war.

Lei Shushan first said that he just wanted to win over Ao Huang, and then accused Fang Yun of being intolerant and arrogantly asking for two top-ranking candidates. He regarded the farmers and workers as nothing, and he would definitely represent the two families to defeat Fang Yun.

Lei Shushan was already quite famous among the two families. When he said this, a few people who were not aware of the situation immediately supported him and believed that Fang Yun had insulted the two families, but most people were just waiting and watching.

Fang Yun's status is no longer what it used to be. In the eyes of most people, let alone the fact that things are not confirmed, even if Fang Yun really said so, it doesn't matter!

Since Fang Yun had made achievements in poetry, military science, medicine, and legalism, what did it matter if he got first place in the palace examinations for workers and peasants? After all, it was only a palace examination for one year, just a competition among Jinshi, not a revolution for one family or the whole world.

Fang Yun looked at it and smiled calmly. As long as there was no change in Ning'an County, he didn't need to care at all. No matter how big the storm was, as long as he was determined, it would not happen to him!

For Fang Yun, Lei Shushan's attack was just a small episode. Its only effect was to strengthen the determination to improve the textile industry.

In the afternoon, Fang Yun continued to try the case and then began to prepare for the weaving innovation.

On the morning of February 11, an army of 3,000 men composed of the Beimang Army and Ning'an County officers and soldiers arrived at Gongfang Street and completely isolated some workshops from the outside world. More than 20 scholars dressed in criminal uniforms appeared everywhere, either on Gongfang Street, on the roofs of workshops, or sailing on the Yishui River.

After these scholars from the Punishment Hall showed up, no matter which faction or family they belonged to, they all continued with what they were doing in silence. They didn't even dare to discuss, for fear of saying something wrong and being targeted by these evil stars.

The Criminal Court is composed of two parts. One part is responsible for the changes in the Legalist Way, constantly improving the laws of the human race, pushing the Legalist Way to a higher level, and assisting the saints of the Holy Court in legislating. In addition, they are responsible for judging serious criminals of the human race.

The second part is to monitor the scholars in the world and have the power to arrest people without the consent of the various families and countries.

The Punishment Hall is the most powerful among all the institutions in the Holy Academy. Although the War Hall is powerful, it is external and not internal. People respect it but do not fear it. However, the Punishment Hall makes people shudder.

The other families have been discussing the division of the Criminal Hall. The current plan is to set up another Law Hall to be responsible for the human race's judicial affairs, so that the Criminal Hall will only have law enforcement power but not judicial power.

The news that the entire weaving workshop in Ning'an County was isolated by the Criminal Hall quickly spread, and almost everyone guessed that Fang Yun was probably carrying out an innovation in the textile machinery, and that this innovation was extraordinary.

Fang Yun originally wanted to stay in the workshop for the next few days, using his later knowledge and combining it with the holy way of craftsmen to innovate the mechanisms. Even if he could not create a Mohist belt, he could at least create a Lu Ban ruler, which would be of some help to him.

However, that night, the county magistrate Tao Dingnian came to report that he hoped Fang Yun would go to the holy temple to offer sacrifices to the sky the next day and use the power of the holy temple to melt the frozen soil to make it easier for the people of Ning'an County to farm. Every day that went by late, the farmers in Ning'an County would suffer certain losses.

If Fang Yun was a bureaucrat, he would immediately refuse, and then wait a few days before announcing that he would go to the temple to offer sacrifices to the heavens, in order to establish his own authority and not let Tao Dingnian lead him by the nose.

However, Fang Yun only asked Tao Dingnian to go back and wait for news, and then summoned his staff.

After half an hour of discussion, the farmers' staff decided that the ground had warmed up and now was a good time to thaw the frozen soil.

Fang Yun thought for a while about the interests of the farmers and establishing his authority, and then made a decision.

"Tomorrow we will go to the holy temple to offer sacrifices to the heavens and thaw the frozen soil."

"Your Excellency is wise!" Many aides praised him. If Fang Yun really had a bureaucratic style, they would be extremely disappointed.

Early the next morning, Fang Yun and Ao Huang took a Longma luxury car, followed by a large group of Ning'an County officials, and went to the County Academy of Literature.

After entering the gate of the county academy of literature, you will see the square in front of the holy temple.

The square was hung with colorful decorations for offering sacrifices to the sky. Incense and candles were burning on the table and tripod in front. On the table were placed three kinds of meat that had been roasted for several days. Three roasted horses, cows, and sheep gave off a lingering aroma.

"The auspicious time has not yet arrived. Please wait a moment, Mr. County Magistrate." Tao Dingnian said in a low voice.

Fang Yun nodded and waited quietly. The other officials also stood in front of the holy temple. Ao Huang coiled in mid-air with his eyes closed.

As time passed, someone knocked on the door of the house behind the county government office.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Fang Daniu walked out quickly and saw that the person knocking on the door was a runner from the county government's mail room, who was mainly responsible for delivering or issuing orders and was often seen.

"The county magistrate has just issued an order, asking Madam Fang to go to the County Academy of Literature and then go to Workshop Street together."

"Thank you. I will go back and report to the mistress." Fang Daniu said and turned around.

Soon, Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao carried Nunu into the carriage. Two mares, forty barbarian private soldiers and two hundred demon cavalrymen guarded the carriage as it moved slowly forward.

This is the standard set by Fang Yun. If he is not around, Yang Yuhuan must bring enough people with her when she goes out alone. (To be continued...)
