Geng Ge nodded, raised his chin, and said coldly: "Since County Magistrate Fang has disregarded his own life and family in order to protect two women, then please pray to the heavens and offer an oration to rectify the etiquette and law!"

Shen Ming immediately bowed and said, "Please ask County Magistrate Fang to correct the etiquette and law!"

Dozens of officials said in unison: "Please ask County Magistrate Fang to correct the etiquette and law!"

A powerful momentum suddenly formed, creating tremendous pressure.

Fang Yun remained unmoved. He put Nunu on his shoulder and bowed towards the holy temple. Nunu stood on Fang Yun's shoulder, stood up, and imitated Fang Yun and bowed towards the holy temple.

There was constant sneer, and many people believed that Fang Yun was just putting on an act.

Fang Yun said loudly: "I am Fang Yun. I studied hard and gained enlightenment by the river. Later, I brought my little fox Nunu to teach in the Fang Clan School. Nunu's voice is like a scholar, and his voice, tone and meaning are in harmony with the students. He inspired the students to study prosody. After many days of hard work, he finally made an enlightenment rhyme book suitable for elementary school children. The students and teachers of the Fang Clan School know the history of this book. A few officials of Dayuan Prefecture and the Criminal Court also know it. I will not elaborate on it. I would like to present this article to you!"

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he took out the manuscript of "Fox's Rhymes" from the Yinjiang Shell and held it in both hands.

"Hmph, just trying to be mysterious!" said Geng Ge.

Shen Ming said coldly: "I wonder what tricks he can come up with! What's the point of talking about primers for children? Does he think he can easily write a second primer of the level of the Three Character Classic? I don't believe it..."

Shen Ming's voice suddenly stopped!

A white light suddenly emanated from Fang Yun's body, and Nunu's body was equally dazzling, no less than Fang Yun's.

"this… "

“Hehehe…” Ao Huang laughed.

Shen Ming and Geng Ge looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Then, they saw something colorful flying towards them from the corner of their eyes. They were startled and turned their heads quickly to look over there.

A rainbow composed of red, orange, and yellow flew from the sky, streaking across the sky, sticking to the roof of the temple, and ending in front of Fang Yun.

Fang Yun placed an ordinary page of the book on the tricolor rainbow bridge. There was a loud bang and the page began to emit golden light, illuminating half of the county.

Capital city, Ministry of Personnel, Department of Selection, Talent Seeking Section.

Ji Zhibai sat in the office of the Talent Seeking Section. As the official with the most power in the six ministries, Ji Zhibai was also the director of the extremely important Wenxuan Division, in charge of the Talent Seeking Section, which was the most important of all. He was not careless at all and worked diligently.

All officials in the Ministry of Personnel knew that the Left Prime Minister had already designated Ji Zhibai as his successor. He came to the Ministry of Personnel to gild his reputation and to expand Ji Zhibai's network and team. No government office was easier to train disciples than the Ministry of Personnel, which managed all officials.

However, after receiving the letter from Shen Ming confirming that Fang Yun would lose, Ji Zhibai did not focus on government affairs. Instead, he held the official seal in his right hand, entered the discussion board, and quickly wrote a short article with his mind.

"Ai Fangyun".

This article is based on the incident of Fang Yun rescuing Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao. It first affirms Fang Yun's "righteousness" and "emotion". Then it bluntly accuses Fang Yun of being too soft-hearted, too small-hearted and too righteous, and of knowingly breaking the law. It is difficult for him to be a role model and escape punishment.

After finishing writing, Ji Zhibai added his own name at the end. With a triumphant smile, he posted it on the discussion board, secretly delighted, thinking that it would be as famous as Fang Yun's "Shang Zhongyong".

"I finally won once! And this time, all the previous failures are made up for! If there is a first time, there will be a second time!" Ji Zhibai thought silently in his heart.

Ji Zhibai was just about to continue checking the documents from the Ministry of Personnel when a shout suddenly came from outside.

"Three Rainbows Guide! It's the Three Rainbows Guide heading to Mizhou!"

Ji Zhibai was stunned for a moment, then he stood up abruptly and ran out quickly. The wind created by his body blew away pieces of paper.

Ji Zhibai ran out of the door, looked up at the three-color rainbow in the sky that looked like a long bridge, and couldn't help but clench his fists, making the joints pale and bloodless.

The courtyard wall blocked the view of the three rainbows in full. Ji Zhibai thought about it, and a white cloud appeared from under his feet, carrying him slowly into the air.

Below the rank of Grand Secretary, only the top scholar in a country could achieve rapid advancement.

"It must not lead to Ning'an County! It must not lead to Ning'an County! It must not lead to..."

Ji Zhibai kept reciting in his mind. After flying to a height higher than the roof, he saw the full picture of Sanhong Jie Yin. Ji Zhibai's heart sank to the bottom.

However, Ji Zhibai still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Suddenly, a vague and illusory voice sounded.

"'Fox Rhymes', good!"

Ji Zhibai’s eyes went dark, and he instantly realized Fang Yun’s way of breaking the impasse!

Just a moment later, Ji Zhibai's face suddenly turned red!

Just now, he posted "Lament for the Fate of the Fang" on the discussion board! Although the title is "Lament", it seems to be a sigh, but the words reveal gloating and accusations!

This article is well written, but it is based on one premise, that is, Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao violated etiquette, Fang Yun deceived the heaven, and his prayer to heaven and offering of text failed!

But now, the prayer to heaven and offering of texts has been successful!

The basis of Ai Fang Yun no longer exists.

Ji Zhibai's face turned purple and he quickly entered the discussion list, wanting to delete it.

But something went wrong!

Because that article attracted a large number of views and replies in just a dozen breaths, it was actually marked as a key point!

Ji Zhibai was so angry that he almost went crazy. He quickly sent a letter to Dongsheng Pavilion, asking the officials of Dongsheng Pavilion to delete the article.

East Saint Pavilion.

After receiving the letter, a Jinshi couldn't help but burst out laughing. He immediately rewrote it into a formal document and handed it to a Hanlin. The Hanlin also laughed after reading it, and handed it to the clerk beside him, saying: "This matter is of great importance. Please pass it to Grand Secretary Yan."

"Yes." The clerk took a quick look at the content, smiled with his mouth tightly closed, and then slowly walked into the office of Academician Yan with three shaky steps and handed over the document.

Bachelor Yan Dong was a fat man with a kind face. He smiled when he saw the document and threw it to the most remote place in the study.

The clerk was happy again, because it would take at least a year before Grand Secretary Yan could review the documents from that place.

Mizhou, Ning'an County, County Academy of Literature, in front of the holy temple.

The officials who had just laughed so hard that their stomachs ached were now dumbfounded, staring at the three rainbow lights in a daze.

Only when a great scholar writes his best book can he be led by the Three Rainbows. Some great scholars may never be led by the Three Rainbows in their lifetime. Moreover, when the results of the imperial examination were announced last year, the Three Rainbows also took away Fang Yun's examination paper.

Yang Yuhuan and Su Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the Three Rainbows were there to guide them, everyone was safe. There was no need to commit suicide to avoid implicating Fang Yun.

"'Fox Rhymes', good!"

After a faint voice was heard, a rainbow light carrying "Fox's Rhymes" flew back and finally disappeared.

The County Academy of Literature was extremely quiet, but cheers were heard outside the wall.

"Three rainbows lead us! This must be a miracle from Ning'an County!"

“I just don’t know who wrote it!”

"You are such a grown man, but you are just talking nonsense. You should be able to figure out with your ass that it must be the work of Fang Yun Fang Xusheng!"

"That can't be possible. It's been less than half a month since he took office, and he's already changed the inscription on the stone tablet, revised the legal code, and made Ning'an County a pilot for legal reform, shocking the people of the world! It's only been a few days since he took office, and he's already made such a big fuss! Is this a palace examination or setting off firecrackers for the New Year?"

"Hahaha..." (To be continued...)
