County Deputy Tao Dingnian and other officials from the Left Chancellor's faction stared at Fang Yun, looking bewildered and terrified. How could two of the three highest-ranking officials in a state, the governor and the military governor, be taken down just like that?

As officials of the Jing Kingdom, they were well aware of the political landscape. The royal family didn't have such power, nor did the military or the Minister of Literature's faction. Even if they did, they wouldn't have the audacity to tear apart the facade and flip the table.

Fang Yun, whose wings were not yet fully grown, couldn't possibly have the capability to take down two high-ranking officials, not even with the assistance of the Hall of Punishment, which was an external force and couldn't be the main force against the Left Chancellor's faction.

Yet, from all indications, it was clear that Fang Yun personally intervened, ending the careers of these two officials.
