The highest-ranking official in Ning'an County was not the county magistrate, but Geng Ge, the director of the Mizhou Transportation Bureau.
Shangguan questioned the county magistrate with eloquent words, and the whole city was shocked.
Even ordinary people who have no political sensitivity realize that the two sides have torn their faces apart today.
Thousands of medical practitioners gathered in restaurants and inns all over Ning'an County. After hearing Geng Ge's eloquent speech, they instinctively stood up and walked to the window.
The sky was cloudless, but everyone felt that a storm was coming.
In the Di room of Gaosheng Inn, some scholars wearing Jia country official uniforms, holding wine glasses, looked out of the window with smiles on their faces.
"I didn't want to come to this medical and literary conference, but I heard there was something interesting to watch, so I came here day and night."
The speaker was a middle-aged Hanlin who looked to be over fifty years old.
"Mr. Lei Lu, you are the chief physician of Jiaguo Imperial Hospital, in charge of all the medical officers of Jiaguo. You came here in person, which is too much of a honor for Fang Yun. His sainthood is empty, but your title as the chief physician of a country is real. You are only over 40 years old, but you have spent many years of your life to treat others. In terms of medical ethics, how can Fang Yun be compared with you?"
Lei Lu smiled and nodded without saying anything.
"Fang Yun, for his own fame, slandered the left prime minister of a country and the semi-saint family of a neighboring country for a mere palace examination. He was unwilling to reduce his grades in two subjects in exchange for the military to open the warehouses and release grain. He is unkind and unjust, and has no medical ethics. Such a person, no matter how high his medical attainments are, does not deserve to get an A in the medical department!"
“Exactly!”
Lei Lu smiled and said, "Don't jump to conclusions too early. Perhaps Fang Xusheng has a way to solve this food disaster."
"Not necessarily. I think the situation will probably turn out like this: Fang Yun refuses to admit defeat, while Zuo Xiang and his party refuse to release grain. In the end, people starve to death, and the Jing Kingdom royal family will both get hit hard."
Lei Lu smiled and said, "Yes, what you said is possible. As a doctor, I can't just sit there and wait for death! Then, on behalf of the medical officer of Jia State, let me speak."
Lei Lu took a light breath and said with a thunderous voice, "I am Lei Lu, the chief physician of Jiaguo Imperial Hospital. I came here to participate in the Medical and Literary Conference. However, doctors are like parents. Only with a kind heart can they have benevolent skills. Without medical ethics, they are not worthy of being called doctors! If Fang Xusheng cannot solve the problem of hunger among the people, and if there are starving people everywhere, wouldn't it be helping the tyrant if we help him with medicine and promote his literary reputation? I propose that as long as Fang Xusheng does not solve the food crisis in Ning'an, this Medical and Literary Conference will not be held! I wonder if medical and literary friends from all countries can agree to this?"
"I second Dr. Lei's words!"
"Doctors have a kind heart and must not abandon their medical ethics. The literary gathering must be postponed!"
"Fang Xusheng, if you starve the people of Ning'an County to death for your own selfish desires, I will definitely report you to the Criminal Court!"
"Mr. Lei Lu is absolutely right. As a doctor, I agree with your opinion. I hope Saint Fang Xu will not be offended."
"I agree with what Mr. Lei said..."
Thunder rumbled over Ning'an County, and many doctors spoke in support of Lei Lu's words.
Suddenly, Ao Huang's voice sounded.
"Ning'an is accompanied by green grass, which attracts nosy donkeys. We, the people of Ning'an County, eat your food? What's it to you?"
Snap…
Thunder appeared in the clear sky and exploded above Ning'an County.
The name of the True Dragon shook the world. The voice contained the power of heaven, and all the thunderous sounds came to an abrupt end.
At the back court of Ning'an County, Fang Yun smiled and said, "Thank you. But you don't have to do this."
Ao Huang complained, "I just figured it out. Not only did they cut off Ning'an County's food supply, they also planted a nail in the Medical and Literary Association! You also said that if nothing unexpected happened, today the officials of Ning'an County, the officials of Jing State, and the royal family will write a letter to criticize or even impeach you! Using food to destroy your livelihood department, using medical ethics to destroy your medical department, and using the letters of hundreds of officials to destroy your administration department, it's simply too vicious!"
"Don't be in a hurry. Those officials won't submit a petition in advance before the final conclusion is made. Only after they are sure that I can't solve the food crisis, will they use this as an excuse to launch a comprehensive... well, it can be considered a counterattack." Fang Yun said with a smile.
Ao Huang said, "I know, but first it was Grand Secretary Lan Xungu, then Imperial Academy Geng Ge, and then a large number of doctors and scholars. They kept making eloquent remarks. If you can't solve the food crisis, the people will never trust you again! Without food, it's useless to say anything."
"What if I can solve the problem of hunger?" Fang Yun asked.
"Can you solve it? Didn't you say that food cannot be transported in, and even if available, it cannot be bought? If it is sent directly, it will lead to a lower grade in the palace examination. Huh? A hunger problem? Not a food problem?" Ao Huang keenly noticed the difference in Fang Yun's wording.
Fang Yun rushed out the door and said, "Prepare a luxury car."
"Yes, sir!" Fang Daniu agreed and left quickly.
"What on earth can you do?"
"We'll know soon enough."
"Don't you have to answer that bitch Geng Ge?" Ao Huang asked.
"Does he deserve it?"
Fang turned his head and looked in the direction of the Holy Courtyard, muttering to himself, "We're almost there."
Ao Huang was puzzled and flew slowly higher, looking in the direction of the Holy Academy. His eyesight was very good and he could see tens of thousands of miles away, but he could not see anything except some dark clouds. Then he lowered his head to ask Fang Yun, but he suddenly froze halfway and was suspended in the air like a sculpture.
Ao Huang was stunned for several breaths, then suddenly raised his head. The movement was so sudden that Fang Yun was afraid that his neck would break.
Then, Ao Huang's face showed ecstasy, and he looked down at Fang Yun again and shouted: "You actually moved the holy object here? You really moved it here? Zulong, who did you spend the whole afternoon and half a night communicating with yesterday? How could you move such a thing here? My goodness, that is a semi-saint treasure that even Grandpa Longsheng likes very much!"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Did you see it?"
"Nonsense! I am a real dragon. Although I have never seen one before, that thing is different from ordinary clouds. If you look carefully, you will definitely find the difference! You are so awesome... No, you are so dragon-like!"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "That's just a projection, not the real thing." Then he continued to drink his morning tea.
"The projection is also very powerful! Hahaha..." Ao Huang couldn't help laughing, "Although I don't know what you did specifically, you can even ask for the semi-saint treasure, so solving the food problem is naturally not a problem! Hahaha, I want to see how they continue to be arrogant!"
There was a brief period of calm in Ning'an County, but the people of Ning'an County began to have conflicts.
Should we trust Fang Yun or the officials of the left-wing party? Judging from what Fang Yun said, it seems that more people are against Fang Yun. But why didn't Fang Yun refute it? Is it impossible to refute it
After a long while, Fang Yun still didn't answer.
Geng Ge, the director of the Transportation Department, once again spoke with thunderous words: "County Magistrate Fang, why are you hiding your true colors? Why don't you dare to give me an answer? In your eyes, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Ning'an County are not as important as the face of a county magistrate like you? County Magistrate Fang, please answer truthfully, so that the people of Ning'an County will know the truth even if they die!"
Geng Ge's words resonated with some people. Although officials cannot explain everything, this matter is of great importance and cannot be hidden.
As Geng Ge finished speaking, the official seal suddenly made a sound, followed by Fang Yun's voice.
"My fellow Ning'an County officials, please follow me to the South Gate to welcome the special envoy from the Agricultural Palace. Anyone who fails to come without reason will be punished for disrespecting the Holy Court!" (To be continued...)
