The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1047 Trafficking Village

A strange look flashed in Fang Yun's eyes. If it was a trivial matter, Wang Tongfu, as the elder of Dongsheng Pavilion, would never mention it, but he did mention it. He said it was neither big nor small, but said he must not miss his future. It was inconsistent and absolutely not What a great scholar can say. I'm afraid it's because it involves the palace examination, so Wang Tongfu can't say more, so he can only remind him in this way.

Naturally, Fang Yun would not make things difficult for Wang Tongfu, nor did he mention it. Instead, he stood up and said with a smile: "I am a student taking the imperial examination and cannot stay in the Holy Court, so I will say goodbye."

"Well, Saint Fangxu holds the official seal in his hand and silently returns to the capital of Jingguo. Then you can go straight to the capital. When you get there, there will be relevant entourage to take you back to Ning'an City."

After Fang Yun left, several great scholars stood in the battle hall.

"Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. He is far more calm and sophisticated than the rumors say, and he doesn't look like a teenager at all."

"He didn't even ask a word about what Brother Tongfu said just now. This shows that he is a man of the city and can keep his composure."

"Let's stop celebrating the victory of the Three Valleys Battle."

"We can't let Fang Xusheng feel cold, he won't care about this honor."

"He...if possible, would be willing to give up these honors in exchange for those people living..."

Fang Yun returned to Ban's family through the Confucian literary world without any stop. Under the protection of everyone in the Xing Palace and the War Palace, he took the great Confucian's Pingbu Qingyun to Ning'an City.

On the way, Fang Yun read the biographies accumulated in these days one by one.

A large number of people encouraged him, and a small number of them were sent just today. Some were asking about the status of Sangu Lienzhan, and some already knew that he had won and successfully destroyed the Shadow Sky Divine Liquid.

The most well-informed people felt sorry for him and believed that giving two drops to the families of the other scholars who died in the battle was enough, and there was no need to give them so much.

Fang Yun would not say much. The stalactites and stone pools that generate the Shadow Sky Divine Liquid are all in Qishu World, and they are slowly condensing the Shadow Sky Divine Liquid. Due to the demon's many years of blood sacrifice, this stalactite can also produce ten years of high-quality Shadow Sky Divine Liquid, with a total amount of more than a thousand drops.

After the power of the demon blood sacrifice is exhausted, the stalactite can only produce ordinary shadow sky divine liquid, unless it is supplemented by other power.

Soon, Fang Yun saw the letter sent by the magistrate of Ning'an County and his staff, and knew what Wang Tongfu was doing.

Just in the early hours of this morning, more than a dozen villagers from Changxi Village arrived in Ning'an County. They beat the drum of injustice and said that two Ning'an County government officials failed to rob a civilian woman and killed them. The villagers of Changxi Village couldn't stand it and beat the two to death. Now those villagers have come to the county government to ask for justice, so that the families of the two county government officials must pay for their lives and pay compensation.

The actual situation is that Wang Xiaocui, a 17-year-old woman from Ning'an City, was abducted and trafficked to Changxi Village. When the government officials went to rescue her, she was not only beaten to death by the villagers, but Wang Xiaocui was also hanged at the entrance of the village.

Early this morning, the entire Ning'an City and even the entire Mizhou were shaken. Since the imperial examination attracted worldwide attention, the matter was also spread by interested people and was even discussed on the forum.

"Changxi Village..."

Everything about Changxi Village quickly came to Fang Yun's mind.

Changxi Village is located at the junction of Ning'an County, Tong County and Hu County. The three counties have been arguing over this place for many years. At first, they all claimed that it was their own territory and refused to give in to each other. Later, they let it go and no one cared. Over time, it became a well-known place of neglect. It was so smoky that it was too late for the counties to take control of it and had to give up.

Changxi Village was originally a famous poor village. Without the management of the three counties, it became even more rude and lawless.

Changxi Village was very poor and had a bad reputation. The men in the village could not find wives, so they had to find human traffickers. Later, many people in Changxi Village started the human trafficker business. Over time, Changxi Village became a famous human trafficking village.

And those who didn't like the atmosphere of Changxi Village left the village one after another.

According to the laws of Shengyuan Continent, human trafficking is allowed to a certain extent. For example, parents can sell their daughters to other families, but human trafficking is prohibited.

Once upon a time, a Ning'an County magistrate wanted to govern Changxi Village. As a result, not only did the officers who went there were beaten back, but Changxi Village also sent hundreds of old, young, sick, and disabled people to sit outside the county government office. As a result, the magistrate was in trouble. His official prestige was ruined and his face was lost. He had to pay a sum of money and be transferred out of Ning'an County.

Since then, Changxi Village has become more and more rampant.

With that county magistrate's lesson learned, the magistrates of the three counties turned a blind eye to Changxi Village.

A few days ago, because people from Ning'an County were abducted and trafficked by people from Changxi Village, Fang Yun had been ordering police officers to investigate, and the final target was Changxi Village.

Fang Yun knew that the village had huge problems and was like a powder keg, but as a county magistrate, since there were cases, he had to have people deal with them. After the two officers arrived at Changxi Village, their efforts were in vain and they returned in embarrassment.

Fang Yun was very busy at the time, so he asked the Yamen to check on the buyer first and put the matter of Changxi Village on hold for the time being.

Just before going to the Holy Court a few days ago, Fang Yun made an explanation for the case and waited for the buyer to be inspected before going to Changxi Village.

Just yesterday, two government officials were eager to perform their duties and entered Changxi Village again.

The yamen servant thought that after Fang Yun summoned the Broken Yellow Dragon to kill the Dragon King, the people in Changxi Village would be more honest. However, information in Changxi Village was closed. Except for a few scholars, most people did not know about it. Even if they did, most of them Listen to it as a story.

Changxi Village saw that the two government officials still dared to come, so they captured the two people and imprisoned them.

In the early hours of this morning, Wang Xiaocui, who was trafficked, knew that the Yamen was saving her, so she knocked out the man who bought her, found a way to find the place where the Yamen were imprisoned, and escaped with the Yamen.

However, the three were discovered before they could escape from the village, and were beaten to death by villagers who came to inquire.

The family who bought Wang Xiaocui arrived in Ning'an County overnight to sue the government officials.

Fang Yingwu and other staff wrote clearly in the biography.

After reading it, Fang Yun sat on the empty boat with his index finger tapping the paper, his face stern.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of October, Feiye Kongzhou arrived in Ning'an County and entered Houya directly.

Fang Yun was not in a hurry to handle the case. He first chatted with Yang Yuhuan and other family members for an hour, then put on the imperial uniform given by the Holy Court and walked to the main hall of the county government.

Jinshi and Hanlin both wear white clothes, but Jinshi's collar is embroidered with swords, while Hanlin's collar is embroidered with plum blossoms.

As soon as Fang Yun walked out of the back office, many officials from Ning'an County had already gathered there, hurriedly greeting and congratulating him.

Fang Yun first accepted their congratulations, and then asked them to leave on the pretext of reviewing the case, but Tao Dingnian said: "Sir, you defeated nine demons by yourself and defeated the Three Valleys Battle. It is a blessing for the human race. Today, my subordinates held a banquet to celebrate your triumph. ”

"Let's talk about it after the first seven days." Fang Yun gave Tao Dingnian a cold look and walked straight to the main hall of the county government.

All the officials present were extremely embarrassed and stood there for a long time without daring to speak.

An old official complained: "I told you not to congratulate randomly, Fang Xusheng doesn't like banquets the most."

"This is not a question of banquets at all! Didn't you listen to Mr. Fang? It's going to be over the first seven days. So many people died in Sangu Company, who has the heart to celebrate?"

"Saying that he is overdoing it is actually to give us face, instead of just saying that he doesn't want to celebrate this matter. Alas, I would rather he scold us. We people can't help Fang Xusheng, but he actually gave us back He's causing trouble."

"The people of the Holy Court are smart. They have won three consecutive battles in the valley. No matter how many people die, they should be congratulated, and then they should make it known to the whole world and encourage the human race. But it was Magistrate Fang who did it, and they were afraid that he would be unhappy, so No celebration."

"Fang Xusheng is indeed different from others. I am afraid he is the only one in the world who will not take the blood-stained great achievements as his own and take pride in them, nor will he use them as a ladder to get promoted and get rich."

"He may not be a perfect person, but he is a truly good person."

"By the way, go to the main hall quickly. Today's case is too important. Tao Xiancheng, have you reminded the county magistrate?"

"Reminder, tell the people and things about Changxi Village clearly. Don't worry, the county magistrate will definitely not miss the imperial examination!"

"Tell me, is it the left prime minister's fault this time?"

The expressions of many officials changed. Although Fang Yun had purged Ning'an County officials, half of the officials were still members of the Left Prime Minister. This shows how deep-rooted the Left Prime Minister's power is in Miszhou.

"Impossible. Although Mr. Zuo Xiang regards Fang Xusheng as his enemy, he will never do such a thing when Fang Xusheng goes to fight in Sangu. Ji Zhibai might do it, but he is no longer as good as before. If It's impossible for us not to know that he does this kind of thing!" said an old scholar.

Many former members of the left prime minister expressed support.

Fang Yingwu on the side thought for a moment and realized that the old scholar was right. If Ji Zhibai dared to be in Ning'an County now, he would have been reported long ago.

Today's Ning'an County is no longer the Ning'an County half a year ago. The leftist prime minister's old followers are already convinced by Fang Yun.

"This case is complicated. The palace examination is about to end. Fang Xusheng should delay it. When the results of the palace examination come out, he will either hand it over to the next county magistrate or handle it personally during the handover." Tao Dingnian said.

"That's right. Let's go and see Magistrate Fang try the case."

Fang Yingwu followed the others, but he was worried. He found that Fang Yun's temperament had changed in just a few days after leaving Ning'an County. In addition to being slightly sad, Fang Yun now had a decisiveness that was not seen before. !

Fang Yingwu suspected that a few months ago, Fang Yun might have used gentle methods, but now, he would never compromise!

As an experienced Juren master, Fang Yingwu believed in his own judgment.

Not long after, Fang Yun was promoted to the hall.

Fang Yun sat on the big chair of the county magistrate. As before, he called all the victims to come to the hall and listened to them crying about the case.

One of them, Diao Nengchen, cried the most miserably.

"I have just been married to Xiaocui for a year. She just gave birth to a baby for me. Before weaning, she was killed by two guards! Mr. Qingtian, I heard that you can slay a dragon with one hand, but you must Make decisions for the people."

There were no tears in Diao Nengchen's eyes. He held the child while talking and secretly pinched the child until he screamed.

"Look at my poor son, who lost his mother at such a young age. How will our Diao family live in the future..."

"Master Qingtian, you must avenge my daughter-in-law!" An old woman sat cross-legged on the ground and cried loudly. She was full of tears.
