Chapter 1653: Confronting the Torture Palace
Fang Yun and Dong Wencong led the officials of Baling City to arrive outside the South City Gate and wait for the envoy of the Torture Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before the envoy arrived, Fang Yun had a low conversation with Dong Wencong, Fang Shouye and several others, and the rest of the officials also got together and talked in a low voice.
In the process of talking, Fang Yun looked at the people around him and found that except for Nie Changju, the head of the Rite Division, and a few minor officials, most of the Rite Divisions were not present, and they had used busy affairs as an excuse to excuse themselves.
Fang Yun remained silent, obviously someone reported the news, but this was a good thing for himself.
After a while, a white cloud appeared from the sky, and an old man wearing the uniform of a scholar of the Torture Hall descended rapidly.
Fang Yun took a closer look, this person was Han Zhengyang, a scholar of the Han Feizi family, and these people in the Heart Dao Torture Hall were not all old-fashioned, they had a close relationship with the Han Feizi family, and everyone knew that just helping the Han family recover the lost volume of the holy book "Han Feizi" was enough for the Han family to remember for a hundred generations.
When Fang Yun visited his family in Kongcheng, he met this Han Zhengyang, who was Han Shoulu's second uncle, and they had a very pleasant conversation when they met.
Although Fang Yun is a virtual saint, Han Zhengyang represents the torture hall and the holy courtyard, and the moment Han Zhengyang landed, Fang Yun took a step forward and arched his hand: "The special envoy of the torture hall is here, let me shine in Xiangzhou." ”
The other officials didn't dare to give up, they all bent over ninety degrees honestly, even the old Hanlin Nie Changju, who wanted to make trouble for Fang Yun the most, didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
Han Zhengyang's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand and said: "The old man has seen Fang Xusheng! Don't be polite, the old man is here, just to perform the duties of the torture hall, and he doesn't need any welcome." Everyone, let's disperse, please ask Fang Xusheng, Dong Zhou Mu and Fang Dudu to lead the way and assist the Torture Hall in thoroughly investigating the "Xiangzhou Mansion Daily". ”
The faces of the officials present were different, no one dared to speak, and they all stared at Han Zhengyang.
Fang Yun smiled slightly, and said, "Dare to ask Scholar Han, this "Xiangzhou Mansion Daily" is a newspaper under the name of the Holy Academy?"
As soon as Fang Yun's words came out, not only ordinary officials were shocked, but even Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye were shocked, Fang Yun's tone of words was very ordinary, but the intention was too obvious, this was questioning the jurisdiction of the Holy Court or the Torture Temple!
Although it is possible to question the Torture Temple, this is not necessary, in case it is opposed to the Torture Temple or even the Holy Court, it will be out of control, and the loss of the name of the text will be small, and the impact on the Holy Dao will be great.
The hard-capped torture hall or even the Holy Courtyard, this kind of thing has not happened once in a hundred years, and even if it happens, it will be ruthlessly extinguished by the Holy Courtyard, and it will not be merciful, and it is necessary to establish the absolute authority of the Holy Courtyard, otherwise those ghosts and ghosts will inevitably think that the Holy Courtyard can be bullied.
Dong Wencong and Fang Shouye gave Fang Yun a look, and Fang Shouye even secretly sent Fang Yun an urgent reminder, but Fang Yun was unmoved and looked at Han Zhengyang calmly.
Dong Wencong saw that Fang Yun was confident, and he was no longer in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.
When Han Zhengyang heard Fang Yun's words, his eyes widened slightly, and after a few breaths, he found that Fang Yun's expression was still calm, and after a little thought, he said: "Xiangzhou Mansion Newspaper is originally a publication of the Xiangzhou government, but the Holy Court has a clear stipulation that before the release of the Mansion Newspaper of various countries, it can only be published after being reviewed by the Editorial and Examination Institute of the Holy Court's "Wen Bao". The supplement to the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" was uncensored and violated the laws of the Holy Court, and should be verified by the Torture Temple. ”
"Since the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" only needs to be reviewed by the Holy Court before it is published, then today's supplement to the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" will be submitted to the Criminal Palace for review after the verification and processing of the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" is completed, and finally the Criminal Palace and Xiangzhou will jointly announce the results. Fang Yundao.
Han Zhengyang suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "The rules of the Torture Hall cannot be changed! This matter can only be verified and tried by the Torture Hall alone!"
"As the governor of the two states, this official oversees the officials and people of the two states, and the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" is also under the jurisdiction of this official. As long as the "Xiangzhou Mansion Daily" is not suspected of betraying the human race, this official will not let the Torture Hall handle my Xiangzhou internal affairs alone!"
Fang Yun's words were loud, and although the officials present were worried about Fang Yun, they also felt that Fang Yun's words were very reasonable.
Even those Qing officials nodded slightly, admiring Fang Yun's courage, the officials of the ten countries were not only afraid of the Torture Palace, but also had resentment towards the Torture Palace, many things were often intervened by the Torture Palace, and all the previous efforts were in vain, and in the end, they didn't know why the Torture Hall intervened, even if they asked, the Torture Hall would not answer on the grounds of confidentiality.
Han Zhengyang looked at Fang Yun and didn't speak for a long time.
Fang Yun kept looking at Han Zhengyang quietly, motionless.
The rest of the officials did not dare to move, so they could only watch the two carefully.
After a while, Han Zhengyang said slowly, "Governor Fang, you are fighting against the Torture Palace!
As soon as the four big words "against the Holy Courtyard" came out, the backs of all the officials present bent down slightly, a head shorter than before.
Only Fang Yunmian does not change color.
Today, in my capacity as the governor of the two prefectures, I demand that the Torture Palace not confiscate and seize the supplement of the "Xiangzhou Di Bao," and that only when the results of our investigation in Xiangzhou are found can we participate in the trial! Otherwise, our fortune will not risk our life and seek justice for Xiangzhou. ”
Dong Wencong sighed lightly, reluctantly stepped forward, and said: "Please also ask the special envoy of the Criminal Palace to think twice, the matter of "Xiangzhou Mansion Daily" should be decided by the Governor's Palace. ”
Fang Shouye saw that even Dong Wencong had come forward, and he couldn't look at Fang Yun's uncle, so he also stepped forward and said, "Please think twice!"
The rest of the officials saw that the momentum was not right, and the three officials with the most power in the state office all stood up, and if they did not stand with the three, they would inevitably be put in small shoes in the future. However, on the opposite side is the member of the torture hall, a scholar of a dignified family, what if he stands up and is settled by the queen of autumn?
After a few breaths, some officials who were transferred to Xiangzhou from outside the country came forward one after another.
Xue Li, the director of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang Zhengming, the director of the Department of Law, Jia He, the director of the Criminal Department, Cai Yuan, the director of the Supervision Department, and many other officials stepped forward and stood behind Fang Yun.
Those Qingguan who secretly opposed Fang Yun kept pondering, let the Torture Hall investigate this matter, the unlucky ones would be Guan Yi and other Qingguan, most of the people in the Rite Division would be implicated, and the methods of the Torture Hall would inevitably be much more ruthless than Fang Yun.
After a short time, the Rite Si Zheng Nie Changju stepped forward, arched his hand, and said, "Please think twice about the special envoy of the Torture Palace!"
Nie Changju, the leader of Qingguan, did this, and the rest of the people hurriedly followed.
After a short time, all the officials present stood behind Fang Yun and made their stand against the investigation of the "Xiangzhou Di Bao" supplement incident by the Criminal Palace.
Han Zhengyang's face became darker and darker, until this time, he had already guessed that he was very likely to be used by others, so that he was the enemy of Fang Yun, and now it was difficult to ride a tiger, even if he was an enemy of Fang Yun, he had to take care of the face of the torture hall.
In his heart, Han Zhengyang scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors behind the scenes.
Han Zhengyang took one last look at Fang Yun, and found that Fang Yun had never secretly passed on the book to explain to him, and finally snorted coldly and said, "Since the officials of Xiangzhou are against the investigation of the Torture Palace, then the old man can only return to the Torture Palace! You will definitely pay the price for what you have done today!"
