The Pig Who Spoke in Proverbs (The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox fanfiction) by Jay Jeong un Yang

 


  I wrote The Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox (A fantasy book series by Barry Hughart) fanfiction.



This is the summary: 



In the province of Yu-Ting, peace has descended like an unwanted guest with suspiciously good manners. Children whisper instead of shout. Chickens bow politely. And villagers have stopped arguing—a sure sign something unnatural is afoot.

The cause? A large, velvet-cushion-dwelling pig who quotes Confucius, settles lawsuits with flawless logic, and accepts offerings of dumplings in exchange for legal advice. Some say it’s possessed. Others say it passed the civil service exam. All agree: the pig is in charge.

Summoned to investigate, Master Li Kao—a brilliant old scholar with a slight flaw in his character—and Number Ten Ox, his steadfast and perpetually bewildered companion, must determine whether the swine is a sage, a ghost, or simply the reincarnation of an overly ambitious bureaucrat.

Featuring haunted abacuses, a debating goat, a pigsty-turned-temple, and one of the most scandalous uses of a red ink brush in recorded history, The Pig Who Spoke in Proverbs is a tale of logic, lunacy, and the dangerous consequences of listening too closely to talking animals.
