The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he immediately sent a letter to the Xing Palace.

Many officials showed a little fear. As expected of the mad king Fang Zhenguo, he went directly to the execution hall. This was the most terrifying counterattack.

Shen Ming said with a guilty conscience: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, this matter should generally be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation. Isn't it inappropriate to directly use the Punishment Palace?"

"There is nothing wrong. If you want to harm my family, you must be prepared to bury the whole family with them!" Fang Yun had no expression on his face.

Shen Ming shook his head gently and said: "Outsiders say that the county magistrate is a cruel official. I still don't believe it. I believe it after seeing it in person today. Your family members are safe and sound, and there is no harm at all. You actually want to kill someone else's whole family. It's really outrageous." It goes against the principles of benevolence and righteousness!”

"Master Shen must be joking. If Mr. Fang is just a Jinshi, he will naturally have the wrongdoer and his debtor. If anyone wants to kill me, it will be enough to pay with his life. But, Mr. Fang is Xu Sheng! He is plotting to kill Xu Sheng's family. , murdering Xu Sheng, killing everyone, the law clearly states that Master Shen thinks that the Hall of Ceremony and the Hall of Punishment are against the principles of benevolence and righteousness."

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate has spoken harshly. I believe that since everyone has compassion, Xu Sheng should be given a light punishment and a heavy emphasis on education." Shen Ming said.

"Okay, I won't do this next time. After Master Shen's family is killed and the murderer is found, I will lighten the punishment and emphasize education." Fang Yun said.

"Aren't you afraid that people in the world will laugh at you if you say this?" Shen Ming counterattacked.

Fang Yun sneered and said: "If the dignified Xusheng can't even protect his own women, he will be laughed at by the world! This saint is so angry that he must let the murderers die without mercy!"

"Well said!" Ao Huang nodded vigorously!

"Hey!" Nunu shouted in support.

Yang Yuhuan looked at Fang Yun, his eyes full of passion. Su Xiaoxiao didn't look at Fang Yun, but looked at Yang Yuhuan, full of envy.

The fear in the eyes of many officials is even stronger. Those who dare to say this in public are only lucky.

Shen Ming was obviously scared, but he pretended to be tough and said: "You have excusable feelings for Yang Yuhuan, but you want to kill the whole family and not allow others to wear sackcloth, mourning or mourning. It's too much!"

Fang Yun showed a weird smile and said: "I know that Qi Yi from the mail room has committed suicide by taking poison. There is no witness testimony, and I can't use the semi-saint treasure to tell you the truth. Even the Palace of Punishment can't trace the source. At most, it can only A clan that can kill Qi Zhen and the two guards. However, in less than two months, you will know that the sky net is so vast that those who harm our fate will definitely be retaliated against! And that revenge is just the beginning! !”

Shen Ming shuddered involuntarily. He had known Fang Yun for several days and had never seen Fang Yun reveal such a cold smile. That smile seemed to have sentenced him to death long ago.

Only then did Shen Ming understand that Fang Yun had guessed before that the person who could make Yang Yuhuan come unprepared was naturally the person in the mail and receive room responsible for conveying orders. Then he checked the mail and receive room with his official seal and found that Qi Yi had disappeared. Finally, he If we use the official seal to search, I am afraid that Qi Yi's body will be found soon.

"The county magistrate is just angry. Since I have nothing to do, I will leave now." Shen Ming turned around, sweat soaked into the clothes on his back.

"The disease must be treated well." Fang Yun said.

Shen Ming said without turning his head, "Thank you, sir, for your concern."

"After your health is cured, join me in the execution in a few days!"

Shen Ming trembled and left quickly.

As soon as Shen Ming left, the Xingdian officials who were secretly protecting Fang Yun appeared one after another, saying that they had received orders from the Xingdian to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After expressing his gratitude, Fang Yun went home with his family and took a day off today to stay with Yang Yuhuan at home.

In the afternoon, Xingdian personnel came to the county government office and announced the preliminary investigation results.

The little official named Qi Yi first forged an official document about the arrest of the head of the road, and personally handed it to the two guards guarding the east gate, asking the two guards to allow Yang Yuhuan and others to enter, and said that after the incident was completed, the left prime minister would ensure that the two guards had no It was a huge benefit, so the two guards agreed to cooperate.

After that, Qi Yi returned to the county government office and pretended to pass on Fang Yun's orders. Finally, Qi Yi committed suicide by taking poison.

Fang Yun read the document several times and asked the Jinshi of Xingdian in front of him, "Those two guards are not scholars. They don't know what will happen afterwards. It is understandable that they did this. But Qi Yi is a child student. Although he has just entered He has not been in the mail room for a long time, but with his ability, he must know that if he does such a thing, he will be executed by the execution hall. Does he not care about the life and death of his family at all? "

The Jinshi of the Xingdian Palace said: "That Qi Yi was born to the concubine of the family. The concubine had a grudge against the wife of the Qi family. After the concubine died, Qi Yi's status in the family was very poor. Although he passed the examination as a child student, he His brother was admitted as a scholar "Qi Yi was often humiliated when he was a child, and even after he became a child, he was belittled by his brother. After investigation, he even scolded the whole family when he was drunk."

Fang Yun suddenly asked: "He was transferred to the important mailing and receiving room only after I confirmed that he would come to Ning'an County to serve as acting magistrate. Who gave the transfer order?"

"A few days before the Xuemei Cultural Conference, the county magistrate Tao Dingnian issued this transfer order. At that time, it was not confirmed that you would go to Ning'an County to serve as the acting county magistrate."

Fang Yun fell into deep thought and then said: "I remember Qi Yi also has a son. Doesn't he care whether his son lives or dies?"

The Jinshi of the Xingdian Palace said: "Master Qi, Qi Yi and his wife have only one son, but there are two illegitimate children outside! Those two illegitimate children and their mother, Qi Yi's aunt, were taken to Qing Dynasty a month ago. In the Qing Dynasty, Qi Yi's wife was taken as a concubine by a descendant of the Zong family, and the two children changed their surnames to Zong! The documents for changing the surnames are in Qi Yi's home, and people from the Qingguo Xingdian have found them. "

Fang Yun never expected this result.

The people around him were also surprised. Ao Huang asked in a low voice: "If the whole family was executed, Qi Yi's concubine and two illegitimate children should have died. But now Qi Yi's concubine remarried in advance, and the two children changed their surnames. Can't the Criminal Court kill them?"

"According to the etiquette, the Criminal Court cannot execute the three of them." The Jinshi of the Criminal Court said.

Fang Yingwu on the side sneered and said disdainfully: "There are probably many people whose wives and children leave Jingguo and settle down in Qingguo. Lord Zuo Xiang is really good at calculating."

Fang Yun did not speak. This matter is very obvious. Qi Yi must be a dead spy cultivated by Zuo Xiang in Jingguo. Even the abuse of Qi Yi by that family was instructed by him, and Qi Yi's concubine is probably a spy from Qingguo.

Now everyone knows that Qi Yi is a spy cultivated by Zuo Xiang, but Qi Yi is dead and all the evidence has been destroyed. Even the Criminal Court can do nothing to Zuo Xiang.

Fang Yun said slowly: "I request the Criminal Court to interrogate Qi Yi's former mistress and former illegitimate son in Ning'an County."

"The request is reasonable. The Qingguo Criminal Court personnel will bring the three to Ning'an County as soon as possible."

"What about Qi Yi's other family members and the families of the two guards?"

"Their homes have been searched!"
