The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1654 The Xusheng Linjiang

Fang Yun shook his head slightly, there were too many similar things.

The most disgusting news for Fang Yun was that in the 187th year of the New Calendar, a man from Xiangzhou went to Bianjiang Mansion in Xizhou of the Qing Dynasty as a guest. When he praised a little girl, he touched her head. The custom in Bianjiang Prefecture is that married men cannot touch the heads of little girls, so they angered the locals and were beaten.

When Xiangzhou Di Daily published this news, it believed that people in Xiangzhou should abide by the local customs and habits when going to other places.

But not long ago, a person from Taihe Prefecture in Xiangzhou went to Dayuan Prefecture in Jiangzhou, Jingguo. People from Dayuan Prefecture welcomed them and presented them with gifts wrapped in white silk according to local customs. As a result, the person from Taihe Prefecture was furious. Return to Xiangzhou immediately, because the custom of Taihe Prefecture is that gifts cannot be wrapped in white things.

Xiangzhou Dibao crazily attacked the people of Jingguo for their ignorance of etiquette and believed that when treating guests, one must respect their customs and habits and should not impose local customs on visitors from other places.

Fang Yun felt sick every time he thought about these two pieces of news.

The people who write Di Bao in Xiangzhou are simply shameless and despicable enough to describe them.

Fang Yun was about to become a bachelor of sincerity, so he made no secret of his inner mood swings and admitted that he hated this kind of thing. He even suspected that even if he became a semi-sage, he would probably frown when he heard such disgusting things.

"There is nothing new under the sun!" Fang Yun's eyes were slightly cold.

Fang Yun flew extremely fast. When he crossed the Yangtze River, the river suddenly surged up, and bursts of great power impacted upwards. However, when Fang Yun sensed it, an invisible and majestic force instantly suppressed the power in the river.

The river only rose a foot high before being suppressed. Afterwards, the Baili River surface was dyed red and green by countless demon blood.

Fang Yun didn't change his expression, because the demon barbarians attacked him more than once in the Holy Yuan Continent, but they were easily stopped by the Holy Court or the Semi-Saints.

Fang Yun lowered his head and glanced at the river calmly, his eyes passing over the corpses under the water, and then raised his head again, looking at a city on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

That is Baling City, the capital of Xiangzhou.

Fang Yun looked to the southeast again, and saw an endless lake like a sapphire between heaven and earth. That was the 800-mile Dongting Lake. There is even a palace of the Yangtze River Dragon Saint in Dongting Lake. Every time the Dragon Saint visits the river, he will enter the palace to rest and taste the famous Dongting Lake whitebait and Junshan Silver Needle tea.

The gate to the north of Baling City was opened, and soldiers wearing armor and holding flags stood on both sides of the road, stretching for ten miles.

At the Baling Pier on the bank of the Yangtze River, there is not a single ship. All ships, regardless of size, stay at the smaller pier in the distance.

Fang Yun glanced at it and suddenly stopped a mile away from Baling Pier. He walked flatly on the clouds and said with spring thunder in his tongue: "You personally go and invite the dispersed ships back to Baling Pier. We will transport them to Xiangzhou. It's In order to let the people of Xiangzhou live a better life, instead of disturbing their livelihood! When will the Baling Pier return to normal and when will I set foot on the land of Xiangzhou? "

Fang Yun's voice spread throughout Baling Mansion.

The officials present were stunned, and different officials behaved differently.

Some of the Qing officials in Xiangzhou who supported Qing were surprised, some sneered, some frowned, and some panicked.

Those officials were more upset or anxious.

Dong Wencong, the state herdsman, said hurriedly: "Please rest assured, Fang Xusheng. If you know your mistakes in your humble position, you will correct them, and you will definitely no longer disturb the people!" After saying that, Dong Wencong glanced at the celebrating officials with extremely angry eyes, and then hurriedly went with the governor Fang Shouye to let the ships return. .

Fang Shouye nodded slightly to Fang Yun. When he found that Fang Yun responded, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to deal with it.

The people in Baling City were stunned at first when they heard the spring thunder, and then they were very happy. Many people put down what they were doing and trotted towards the big dock outside the city.

Some old scholars in the city nodded slightly.

Those who were driven to the distant ships were extremely moved when they heard Fang Yun's words.

"It's better than Fang Xusheng. Those officials in Xiangzhou don't regard us as human beings at all! How many hours have it been since we rushed? What should we do if the fish in the cabin rots?"

"My mother is waiting for me to sell fish and pay him back to buy medicine. We can't go to the big pier now, and no one comes here to collect fish."

"No wonder he became a Xusheng, not only because of his academic skills, but also because he has us people in his heart, I admire him!"

"Think about those high-ranking officials in the Qing Kingdom in the past, including Qing Jun. Who came to Qingjiang to block roads and complain, who can compare to Fang Xusheng?"

"No wonder many people from the Qing Kingdom went to Ning'an County to help Fang Xusheng fight against the demons and barbarians!"

"I recognize this kind of false saint! I don't recognize those bandits from Qingguo!"

"Let's set sail and meet Fang Xusheng! With Fang Xusheng here, our children can all be Jinshi, and our cabin can be filled with fish!"

Thousands of ships, large and small, set sail for Baling Pier.

Some passenger ships carried passengers from various countries, and the passengers whispered and praised him one after another.

Many people bowed to Fang Yun on the ship, and some people knelt on the deck and kowtowed to Fang Yun from a distance.

Dong Wencong whispered to Fang Shouye: "Fang Xusheng is indeed extraordinary, we almost fell into the trap of Qingguan! We are used to receiving Shangguan in grand occasions, but those Qingguan can make Fang Xusheng's body stained just by talking casually. Stigma.”

Fang Shouye nodded gently and said, "My nephew is really better than his master. We have been in the officialdom and the military for so many years, but we are not as good as him. It's embarrassing. Just now I understand why he didn't even give us face to speak directly. Qingguan is likely to create some unexpected events, such as letting those fishermen beat drums to complain that the fish died because of welcoming Fang Xusheng, or simply let the people on the boat die of illness or drown, and then point the spearhead at Fang Xusheng, so that he will get into trouble as soon as he comes."

"Yes, Fang Xusheng saw this at a glance, so he simply stopped in mid-air. You can't blame him for being heartless, it's us who didn't do it."

"How can this be considered heartless? If he was heartless, he would have directly scolded you and me by name."

"I suddenly feel very happy. I will definitely learn a lot from being an official under him." Dong Wencong said.

"He is different from us." Fang Shouye looked at Fang Yun in the sky in the distance, feeling a lot of emotion.

"When you first met him, you didn't expect this day to come, did you?" Dong Wencong said.

"When I personally went to see him, it was probably the most correct and important thing I did in my life." Fang Shouye was even more emotional.

Dong Wencong smiled and said, "I wonder how many people in Quanjing Country... no, in the entire human race envy you."

"So, as his uncle, I can't embarrass him. Now, I've caused him trouble today."

"Do you think he has practiced the legendary Three Self-Reflection Way of Zengzi? He can 'examine himself three times a day' and find all the problems related to himself. Otherwise, how could he find problems as soon as he arrived here?"

Fang Shouye said, "It's hard to say. I believe that he did not do this because he first discovered Qingguan's conspiracy. Instead, he did not look down on ordinary people such as boatmen from the bottom of his heart. He really didn't like to disturb the people because of welcoming him, so as to make Qingguan's evil plan ineffective."

"This... doesn't it mean that his realm is even higher than the 'Three Self-Reflection Way' and has reached the realm of a saint who 'the way of sincerity can predict the future'?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."
