The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 980 Questioning Continuously

Fang Yun looked at Ji Zhibai with a look of surprise and said: "Master Ji, I know you have not studied Legalist classics, but I can't imagine that you, a Jinshi, would say such twisted words. If a human official If you are like this, the human race is in chaos!"

"Absurd! What evidence do you have that I am twisted!" Ji Zhibai said proudly.

Fang Yun said: "First, Lame Xing teased scalpers and it was his fault. Why should the innocent Zhang Yuanwai be asked to compensate? No matter how Zhang Yuanwai is usually, what was wrong with this case? Do you understand the nature of this case? You put it How ridiculous it is to treat the law as a piece of paper when a victim who loses his cattle is judged to be at fault and asked to compensate the wrongdoer! Empty text! What is the best of both worlds? If you harm one innocent person, it is evil! What is the best of both worlds? The county magistrate should inspire Zhang Yuanwai to take the initiative to help Xing Laizi. The whole county commends Zhang Yuanwai for his good deeds! Using force to force people to do good is evil, but you falsely accusing innocent people is a great evil in the world!"

"you……"

Fang Yun interrupted Ji Zhibai rudely and said: "If Zhang Yuanwai is rich and unkind and commits evil deeds, the county magistrate can rebuke him with courtesy and bring him to justice. However, choosing to punish him for innocent things is a violation of the general principles." , rebellion against etiquette!”

Ji Zhibai still wanted to argue, but Fang Yun immediately said: "Secondly, even a ten-year-old boy knows that if you do something wrong, you have to admit it and bear the consequences. Then Lame Xing and you are both adults, and you even You don’t understand the truth? As a county magistrate, you don’t distinguish between right and wrong, and you educate the people like this. It’s simply ridiculous!”

"Third! Do you think Cripple Xing can't survive because of his injury? So, before he was injured, he lived a very good life? No, let me tell you, he is idle and the neighbors are complaining. He can't survive because there are two people who are incompetent. , Firstly, he himself is lazy and incompetent, secondly, you, the county magistrate, are incompetent in governing. In any case, Zhang Yuanwai cannot be blamed! For these three reasons, I will report it to the Palace of Punishment, not only because of your dereliction of duty, but also because of your frame-up. Zhang Yuanwai! But..."

Fang Yun drawled a long voice, glanced around, and finally stared at Ji Zhibai and said: "But! The first three reasons are just unclear legal principles, but there is a fourth point, which is especially disgusting!"

"You..." Ji Zhibai was so angry that his hair stood on end. He was the number one scholar in the country, the head of the civil service department, and the disciple of the left prime minister, and was criticized in public for being worthless. It was a great shame and humiliation.

Fang Yun said unceremoniously: "It's okay to harm innocent people, but that cripple Xing said that Zhang Yuanwai didn't dare to do anything to him. You even disguised ignorance, ignorance, incompetence and sin as benevolence and righteousness, and you didn't feel ashamed to rebel." I'm proud that your book has been read into the dog's belly! Others call you a pig-like teammate, but now I want to call you a pig-like county magistrate on behalf of the people of Ning'an County!"

"You...you...you..." Ji Zhibai pointed at Fang Yun, his whole body trembling, and suddenly, there was a slight cracking sound between his eyebrows.

Wen Gong cracked.

"It's Fang Lun's fortune, I and you are incompatible with each other!" After Ji Zhibai finished speaking, he passed out.

Fang Yun was stunned for a moment. With Ji Zhibai's ability, there was no way that Wen Gong would be broken by scolding him. If Ji Zhibai was wrong, Wen Dan would definitely be broken. After a moment, Fang Yun suddenly realized.

Previously, Ji Zhibai had caused displeasure among the three great Confucian scholars, and the Wen Palace was in shock. It was nothing at first, but now he is provoking it again, and the Wen Palace is in shock again. Naturally, if something goes wrong, then no one else can be blamed.

Wen Gong and Wen Dan are different. Wen Dan is difficult to heal, while Wen Gong is relatively easy to repair. As long as it is not attacked by weak water and other forces, it will not hurt if Wen Gong has cracks.

The officials in Ning'an County looked at Fang Yun with more awe in their hearts. This year's Jinshi scolded last year's number one scholar, the seventh-rank official hurt the sixth-rank official, which was too fierce. Thanks to Ji Zhibai's strong cultivation and firm heart for the holy way, if it were an ordinary Jinshi, it would not be as simple as the collapse of Wen Gong.

Ao Huang snorted softly and said: "What is Ban Men Nong Ax? This is Ban Men Nong Ax!"

All the officials looked at Ao Huang in surprise, feeling more and more that this usually unconventional real dragon was still very smart. Ji Zhibai accused Fang Yun of judging the case at the gate of Fang Yun Yamen, wasn't he just playing carpentry in front of Lu Ban's gate?

Fang Yun said: "Ji Zhibai is an official of the imperial court after all. He will immediately send the best doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The medical expenses will be paid by the county government. Tao Xiancheng, please do not neglect this matter. You will be responsible for it."

"My subordinates take orders." Tao Dingnian left quickly.

Fang Yun returned to the public house behind the county government office to continue handling government affairs. Ao Huang followed behind and whispered: "Fang Yun, Ji Zhibai is here, I'm afraid he will use his plan. With Ji Zhibai's ability, even if we infer Zhu Yueming If he is killed, even if the commander of the town army comes, there will never be complete evidence. "

"I never thought about overturning Zhibai with one case. Take your time. As long as you keep him in Ning'an County, everything will be easy to solve!"

Ao Huang's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes! Once you come to Ning'an County, you can't help him! However, it sounds a bit inappropriate for you to make it difficult for you to take office."

"Liu Shan and he had the nerve to force me to Ning'an County, so I have the nerve to embarrass him!"

"Yes, yes, treat others in their own way! Ben Long likes it! But, have you planned it for a long time? First lead the snake out of the hole, then lead the pilot in the Hall of Punishment to lay down a foundation, and then completely control Ning'an County , and finally force Ji Zhibai to come?" Ao Huang said.

"Guess." Fang Yun smiled slightly.

Ao Huang laughed.

Not long after, members of the Legal family came and handed over a stack of documents.

Fang Yun took a look and found out that he was a police officer who went to investigate the case of women's trafficking. He was embarrassed by the local powerful and the villagers. He found nothing and returned in panic.

"You order them to investigate from the buyer." Fang Yun said.

"Yes!"

Fang Yun continued to look at the documents.

Shengyuan Continent, like the ancient country of China, allows a certain degree of human trafficking, such as selling and buying, but prohibits abduction and fraud, and cracks down on abduction and trafficking is extremely strict.

The ancient country of China has always imposed the highest sentence on human traffickers in various periods. In the Han Dynasty, it was dismemberment, in the Tang Dynasty it was hanging, and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties it was death by slicing.

However, in Shengyuan Continent, the sentencing depends on the severity of the abduction and trafficking. Fang Yun is asking his men to collect evidence of the human traffickers' crimes to determine the sentencing. It is difficult to close the case in a short time, which is why Ji Zhibai threw the case to him.

Fang Yun temporarily put aside this case and continued to handle heavy official duties, promoting severe crackdowns and popularizing hygiene.

Ji Zhibai has been sick and recuperating. Only people who are particularly familiar with him can see him, and Fang Yun doesn't care.

On the day of June 27, Fang Yun was handling official business when he heard chaotic footsteps outside. He saw a young officer from the mail room rushing in, panting and saying, "My Lord, there's a murder in the city!"

"What? Who did it?" Fang Yun put down the book and stood up quickly.

The officer's face flashed with a strange panic, and he whispered, "It was Gong, the shopkeeper of the grain shop in the east of the city, who killed his wife and son."

A shadow flashed in Fang Yun's eyes.
