The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 865: The Rise of Ethics

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the northeast.

"The demon is sharpening his sword very hard. This son is so brave and brave. Jingguo is at the right time to employ people. Why is it that he is not allowed to retain his position and make meritorious deeds?"

"Fighting back when threatened is brave, but Ni Kuo and his ilk are despicable. Those who harm weak compatriots and go to war will only collude with monsters and barbarians. How can they protect the human race!"

The voice didn't come again.

Subsequently, Fang Yun sentenced the remaining three Tongsheng, giving one of them a severe sentence, and reducing the punishment of the other two, but he did not deprive the three of them of their Tongsheng titles.

The three children were grateful and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Finally, Fang Yun announced that Ni Kuo and the four children would be escorted to parade for three days tomorrow, which seemed to have concluded the case.

The Tian family father and son were extremely grateful, knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude, and wanted to set up a longevity tablet for Fang Yun.

Fang Yun said: "It doesn't have to be like this. You just need to know that there will be justice in the world. If justice disappears, change the world and create justice! This is what we Chinese people have done since our birth!"

Fang Yun's voice seemed to contain strange power.

After the officials put the four defendants in jail, Fang Yun continued the trial.

The new case was originally supposed to be submitted by the Secretary of the Prison Bureau, but the Secretary of the Prison Bureau suddenly held his stomach and said: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, County Magistrate, Master Registrar, I suddenly have gastrointestinal colic. I am afraid that I am going to have an old illness. Please treat me." It will take ten days and a half, and I really can’t handle the official business, so I’m taking a leave of absence. The case in the torture chamber will be a burden to you all.”

The county magistrate Tao Dingnian said nothing, while the chief bookkeeper Shen Ming blew his beard and glared: "How outrageous! There are so many backlogged cases in the execution room, how can you claim to be sick and take leave! Don't want your salary? I'll ask a Jinshi doctor to treat you right away!" "

"No, a doctor said before that my disease can only be completely cured by at least a bachelor's degree doctor. Oops... Mr. Registrar, please take pity on the little one. There are younger ones above and old ones below. , what will the whole family do if he dies?"

Some people didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The chief secretary of the torture chamber even said the opposite of what he said.

Some people present could tell that the chief secretary of the torture chamber was frightened by Fang Yun's thunderous tactics, but he did not dare to offend Chief Shen, so he had to take a medical break to recuperate.

Fang Yun nodded and said with a smile: "Everyone has to face disasters. General Secretary Yin is very diligent and is a model official. All the expenses for the treatment of this disease will be borne by the county government. As for the fines, we will Don’t mention it. If you are punished for working hard and getting sick, where is the kindness and righteousness? I hope General Secretary Yin will recover soon and serve the country!”

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Mr. Yin left quickly.

Shen Ming's expression turned extremely ugly. He didn't expect that he was accidentally tricked by Fang Shu again.

When an official was sick, Shen Ming scolded him loudly, but Fang Yun not only understood the official, but also paid for the treatment. His words made people feel flattering, and those junior officials may have a better impression of Fang Yun.

Fang Yun said: "The execution chamber has always been in charge of Dian Shi. From now on, the execution chamber will be managed by Bachi. Do you have any objections?"

Shen Ming said hurriedly: "Yu Bachi was originally just the general secretary of the ceremonial room, and he is not proficient in the name of punishment. It is better to replace him with someone else."

Fang Yun said: "Master Shen is loyal to the emperor and the country, and he is also an old official in the county government. I think you should be in charge of this torture chamber."

Shen Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily and said happily: "In that case, I will..."

However, Shen Ming suddenly stopped here because he noticed that the county magistrate Tao Dingnian was winking at him. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately continued: "This official is not a member of the legal family. I think I will leave it to others. In fact, Yu Bachi is not bad either.”

Shen Ming sweated in his heart, thinking that he almost fell into Fang Yun's trick again. He didn't understand the name of the punishment at all. If something went wrong, Fang Yun would definitely take the opportunity to drive him out of the county government, and all his years of hard work would be in vain. flow.

"Since Master Shen strongly recommends Yu Bachi, let him do it." Fang Yun said.

Shen Ming rolled his eyes, could this be considered a strong recommendation?

Fang Yun added: "General Secretary Yin is not here, and there is a backlog of cases that are difficult to deal with. I will report to the Qingwu Mansion and recruit four more temporary staff for the execution room. Once the execution room is free, they will be dismissed."

Shen Ming was even more angry. Fang Yun obviously wanted to place his private soldiers in the torture chamber to perform better in prison and public security, so he said: "This matter should be arranged by the county magistrate and left to Qingwu." The government will handle it."

The deputy of the county magistrate is the county magistrate, and the deputy of the prefect is the tongzhi. A prefecture is much larger than a county, and Tongzhi has great actual power.

The co-prefect of Qingwu Prefecture is a die-hard left-wing prime minister, while the prefect is an official who has just taken office.

The current magistrate of Qingwu Prefecture is Cai He, the former magistrate of Ji County, an old friend of Fang Yun.

As a student of Wen Xiang, Cai He was deeply trapped in Mizhou, which was built like an iron barrel by the Left Prime Minister. If he was not careful, he might leave the officialdom. In serious cases, he might lose his reputation and have no choice but to leave Shengyuan Continent.

However, even if the price was so high, Cai He did not hesitate to take up the post.

We must protect Fang Yun’s imperial examination!

Fang Yun said: "What Mr. Shen said is absolutely true, but the barbarians are about to go south. We are at war now. Everything should be kept simple. I will send a letter to Magistrate Cai now."

Shen Ming sighed helplessly. This is the advantage of being the head of a county and the head of a government. They are both in charge of everything in name. They may not have so much time and energy to intervene, but once they intervene, other officials can only obey.

In less than twenty breaths, Fang Yun took Cai He's order and said, "Xia Jing'en."

"No." Xia Jing'en, who was taking notes of the court hearing, stood up.

"You choose three people to serve as temporary officials of the execution room starting from today. They will assist Yu Dianshi and the general secretary of the execution room who will return in the future to take charge of all cases in the county. There must be no mistakes!"

"I obey my orders!"

Shen Ming lowered his head silently. The officials in the execution room were indeed experienced and capable of playing tricks on ordinary new officials. However, Fang Yun's private soldiers were the worst scholars. His understanding of the inside story of the yamen is even better than that of ordinary officials.

There are ten rooms in the county government office. Now the ceremony room and execution room have been completely controlled by Fang Yun. As for the mailing and receiving room responsible for delivering orders, they have been monitored by Fang Yun's private soldiers.

Once the tenth office of the county government is completely controlled by Fang Yun, there will be only one voice within the county government, and half of Ji Zhibai's plan to obstruct it will fail!

Shen Ming clenched his fists.

Fang Yun was about to interrogate the case when suddenly a middle-aged businessman appeared at the door and shouted: "Fang Xusheng, the villain has something to ask for from the mistress!"

"You come in." Fang Yun said.

"Thank you, sir."

The spring in Ning'an County was not hot, but the businessman wiped the sweat from his forehead, crossed the threshold, and walked into the courtroom with another man.

"But it doesn't matter." Fang Yun said.

The businessman said: "I have a business dispute with Brother He, and I should compensate him for six hundred taels of silver. However, I was short of money a while ago and couldn't afford it. I just discussed with Brother He privately that I will pay him six hundred taels of silver within ten days." The loan will be repaid with interest, and Brother He agreed. So... we want to drop the case."

Fang Yun didn't expect it to be like this. Xia Jing'en on the side immediately said: "Congratulations, sir, it was you who tried the case well, acted benevolently and taught the people, so they repented and turned the hostility into friendship. Peaceful disputes, end of lawsuits, this is This is a sign of the great rise of ethics!"

Shen Ming lowered his head and couldn't help shouting angrily: "I'm obviously scared!"
