The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

The trumpets sounded long, the drums beat loudly, and the loud sound echoed in the square of the temple.

"The auspicious time has arrived!" After Yu Bachi, who was wearing a red dress, finished speaking, Fang Yun led the officials to begin worshiping the heaven.

After going through the tedious process of offering sacrifices to heaven, Fang Yun got up.

Then the holy temple shook slightly, forming an invisible force that surged toward the south of the city, going deep into the ground and dissolving the frozen soil.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the officials.

The head clerk Shen Ming suddenly shouted: "Someone, come on, capture this demon fox! This is a great ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, and a demon fox breaks in. This is really disobedient to God! Come on, someone, kill this demon fox on the spot. Confess your sins to God!"

The officials and government servants present turned around to search and found a cute white fox squatting on the edge of the square.

Everyone was stunned, because everyone knew that Fang Yun had a little fox, and many people knew the cute Nunu.

Nunu originally saw that there were many people in front of her and did not dare to step forward. She squatted obediently on the edge of the square and waited for her luck. However, she did not expect that she was suddenly scolded by the chief clerk Shen Ming.

Nunu was scared and angry. She took half a step back and looked at Shen Ming, making a whining sound in her throat.

At the same time, I don’t know why the power of the holy temple remained, but suddenly dark clouds enveloped the sky, and thunder arose in the clouds, covering the sky for 30,000 miles.

Ao Huang stared at the sky with his eyes wide open, looking up at the sky stupidly. His eyes were full of doubts. As a dragon who could control the wind and rain, he couldn't understand the change in the weather.

The moment he saw Nunu appear, Fang Yun's eyes flashed with a cold light that seemed to freeze the world. His face instantly turned livid but quickly recovered, and then he looked at Shen Ming with an extremely cold expression.

Shen Ming let out a light sigh, then looked at Fang Yun and said, "Mr. Fang, why did your little fox come to the heaven-sacrifice ceremony? I'm not telling you, no one else ruined the heaven-sacrifice ceremony, not only did everyone The county's harvest is reduced, which is even more damaging to the gift and makes God angry! You see, dark clouds suddenly appear in the sky, which is evidence of God's wrath. According to the great ceremony, anyone who interferes with the heavenly ceremony should be slaughtered and sacrificed to appease the anger of God. For the sake of the people of Ning'an County and the human race. Great gift, please sacrifice the little fox!”

"Yeah!" Nunu huddled up and shivered, with more fear than anger in his eyes.

Fang Yun looked at the chief clerk, Shen Ming, and clenched his right fist.

All the officials have guessed that someone deliberately set a trap for Fang Yun.

Most officials were silent, but a few were extremely excited.

"Master Fang, as the Magistrate of Ning'an County and the False Sage of the Human Race, you should lead by example. If you try to protect the little fox, I'm afraid you will be deprived of your position and expelled from the Human Race!"

"The little fox actually barged into the heaven-sacrifice ceremony. This is disrespectful to the saints and to heaven and earth! Could it be that this fox was sent by the demon clan to sabotage the human race's plan?"

"Fang Xusheng, you can't sacrifice your future for a fox." County Prime Minister Tao Dingnian finally spoke.

Yu Bachi said angrily: "Shameless! Who is it? Who tricked the innocent little fox into the heaven-sacrifice ceremony? I don't believe it would come in for no reason!"

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, he grasped the official seal suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, countless images flashed through his eyes, and finally he seemed to be wandering for nine days, looking down at the entire Ning'an City from high altitude.

At this moment, Fang Yun saw Ning'an City as big as a round table. He blinked again, Ning'an City quickly grew in size, and soon he saw Yang Yuhuan and others at the east gate of the County Liberal Arts Academy.

At this moment, a guard hurried over and said loudly: "No! Two women from the county magistrate's family suddenly broke into the county literary academy. It is said that they want to destroy the heaven-sacrifice ceremony!"

"Absurd!" Shen Ming shouted suddenly, but a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"What?" Yu Bachi and several other people who had taken refuge in Fang Yun screamed.

Many people had a look of intolerance on their faces after hearing this.

"This is not going to be easy." Tao Dingnian, the county magistrate, stroked his beard and lowered his head, looking worried.

However, Shen Ming suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, non-scholars are most taboo in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. If you break into the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, what will be the punishment?"

"Of course it's a death penalty!" said a petty official next to Shen Ming.

Shen Ming suddenly smiled and said: "Look at me, an old fool, I have forgotten this matter! That's right, that's right, those who violate the great etiquette will be killed without mercy! Even the dignified Lei family was punished by the fire of three rites, and two women's Taoist families How could a fox be spared!"

At the same time, a loud voice suddenly sounded from the side door of the County Literary Academy.

"Who is offering this great gift to the heaven for disaster? Why don't you just surrender and capture him!"

The sound is like a loud bell, full of energy.

When Fang Yun heard this familiar voice, his expression worsened, and he turned to look at the speaker. However, his hand still held the official seal, and images kept flashing through his eyes.

The person who came was none other than the person with the highest status in Ning'an County, Transport Secretary Sizheng Gengge!

After Geng Ge was kicked unconscious by Long Ma that day, he never showed up again. This was the first time he appeared in public after that.

Everyone, including Fang Yun, looked at the old Hanlin, who was over seventy but strong, and all aimed at his forehead.

There's nothing there but wrinkles.

Even though Geng Ge was in the city again, a look of anger flashed across his face when so many people looked at him.

Shen Ming hurried up to meet him, and said as he walked: "I have seen Mr. Geng! You are here. I heard that not only a little fox came, but two women from the Fang family also broke in. It was like a sacrifice." Heaven and etiquette are nothing! The county magistrate has been slow to speak, so it seems that justice can only be done by you."

Geng Ge immediately said: "I have just used my official seal to patrol, and found that there are two women and Yaoman at the east gate! But since they are Fang Xusheng's family members, no violence is allowed, please come over immediately!"

"Yes! I'll go and 'please' myself!" Shen Ming deliberately emphasized the word "please" when he said it, then turned to look at Fang Yun, with a smile on his lips, he quickly walked towards the east gate and summoned Servant.

Geng Ge looked at Fang Yun coldly and said: "County Magistrate Fang, the gift of offering sacrifices to heaven is extremely important. It is not only related to the harvest of Ning'an County for a year, but also to the dignity of the human race. You actually let your family members wander in, which is simply insulting to the gentlemen." ! Wait for today For God's sake, I will jointly submit a letter to the Hall of Ceremony to accuse you of being a "bad man in running a family" and assign your education as a Ding class! You can't even restrain a mere family, how can you educate a county? Human race!”

Fang Yun held the official seal in his hand and seemed to be unable to speak, so his reaction was a little slower. Just as he was about to speak, Ao Huang became furious and rushed towards Geng Ge, making a deafening roar at the same time.

Geng Ge was only a civil servant after all. He was so frightened that he took three steps back, his face changed horribly, and he almost uttered quarrels.

Ao Huang said angrily: "You haven't been kicked enough by Long Ma? Dog official! The left prime minister's dog slave! He can't compete with Fang Yun in all aspects, so he is just incompetent. He even uses dirty tricks to target his women, even a little fox. Don’t let it go! You beasts, your father must be a savage!”

Geng Ge was so angry that his words "his father is a monster" were the most extreme insult in the human race. In layman's terms, it meant scolding his mother for being tainted by a monster. Someone once killed someone because of these words. In the end, the local county magistrate sentenced him to manslaughter and he was released after only five years in prison. This shows how serious this kind of insult is.

As for the fact that some Hanlin officials were dismissed from their posts and never hired after such scoldings in the court, it is well known to everyone.
