Chapter 190: Arraignment (Part 2)
The Secretary of the House made a loud and vocal statement shocked the officials in the hall.
This is not an arraignment, it clearly provides him with a place to promote rebellion.
The lobby of the Ministry of Justice was silenced as if it was dead, and then the officials in the hall burst into flames. Some of them were angry and some of them were talking. Facing the officials' bad gaze, Pan Shangshu smiled coldly and closed his eyes indifferently.
"Silent! Silent! How can it be so noisy!" Fang Zheng lazily patted the gavel, and taught the ministers in the court a lesson at a rare lesson.
Under Fang Zheng's constraints, the officials finally calmed down temporarily.
"Old guy, I get angry as soon as I see that proud look..." Fang Zheng hummed.
"My son Fang Zheng, don't think that if the emperor favors you, you will be proud for the rest of your life. You ruined my husband's major affairs, can you know how many people in the world have offended? You are deeply loved by the holy people now, but if the emperor no longer favors you one day, do you know how many people in the world are waiting to kill you? If you kill me, others will kill you again in a few years. This is called a cycle of cause and effect. Retribution is unhappy, hahahaha!" Pan Shangshu raised his head and laughed.
"Hmph, I'm not happy, I'm really unhappy now!" Fang Zheng grinned and said, "I can't figure out why the old thief who is about to die is so rampant? What you rely on is nothing more than those accomplices who miss the internet. I hope they will avenge you in the future and rebel again, right? Do you really think I can't find out your accomplices? If I don't hit your arrogant arrogance today, you won't be able to see my wise and powerful position! Hahahahaha..."
After saying that, Fang Zheng reached out and pulled it into his arms...
Pan Shangshu looked at Fang Zheng's face and changed his face. This child's appearance was almost certain. Could it be that he really mastered the list of forces that I secretly cultivated? If this is true, I will be in a state of great success...
The officials also looked at Fang Zheng with excitement. What made them most afraid of now is that Pan Shangshu hid in the officialdom and the army and was accomplices. As long as they were not caught out for a day, the Pan Party would be revived at any time. If Fang Zheng really grasped the list of Pan Party, it would be better.
With everyone's eyes staring at the horror or waiting, pride in their arms... continue to dig.
Pull left and right...
Fang Zheng's smug smile no longer existed. Sweat broke out on his forehead...
Time has passed half of the incense stick.
Fang Zheng was still...persisting in digging.
I took off my dark bags, sleeves, purse, and even boots and looked for the damn list but couldn't find it.
After recalling it carefully, Fang Zheng, who was furious, pulled Wen Sen next to him and gritted his teeth and whispered: "Hurry up! Send someone to my house, the list is in Yanran's room... I asked Zhao Feng'er to go, no other men are allowed to enter my wife's room."
Wensen was also so scared that he was sweating profusely. Hearing this, he quickly ordered.
"Hahahaha, Fang Zheng, do you think I will be afraid of this mysterious trick? It's so boring and naive!" Seeing that Fang Zheng had been busy for a while, it turned out that what he was singing was just an empty city plan and he started to be proud.
"Gaga, the weather is really good today. The cloudless sky is dotted with white clouds..." Fang Zheng smiled and said to him, but he was extremely embarrassed. He was careless in his work. In front of so many ministers in the court, he made another misunderstanding. His depressed feelings were hard to express.
"Yes, yes, the sky is so white, the clouds are so blue..." Wensen, a hard-core dog-legged, quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes..." The officials said with a smile while wiping their sweat.
…………
…………
The lobby of the Ministry of Justice was filled with harmony. In order to give Fang Zheng a step, the officials started chatting one after another. Wen Sen also spoke with awkward Fang Zheng.
Under the auspices of Lord Fang, the atmosphere of the colleagues' friendship party was once reached. Fang Zheng thought that after all, he simply asked someone to serve tea, snacks and melon seeds to the officials who were attending him. So the officials happily gathered together How old is the daughter of my family? My boy is too naughty. I took another concubine the day before yesterday. The official has recently become obsessed with a Western percussion instrument...
Looking at the noisy and noisy lobby of the Ministry of Justice, and Pan Shangshu standing in the middle of the lobby with a pale face, Fang Zheng held his forehead and sighed weakly... What's the fuck?
"Old Pan, why don't you drink a little tea and moisten your throat first?" Fang Zheng said with concern.
“…………”
As time passed, Zhao Feng'er was full of expectations and appeared in front of everyone.
When she saw a thick stack of paper in her hand, Pan Shangshu's face turned pale.
Fang Zheng swept away the decline and was very energetic. He patted the list in his hand and looked at Pan Shangshu with a sneer.
"Old Pan, I really don't want to hit you... But you were too arrogant just now. If you don't hit you, I feel uncomfortable. I am afraid that someone is more arrogant than me..."
As he said that, Fang Zheng slowly expanded the list and said word by word: "...The prefect of Xinyang, Yue Zhongshui, Taizhou prefect, Liang Hao, Huai'an County Magistrate, Fan Fengru, Xingqing Prefecture garrison, Deputy General of General Guan Zheng, He Wei, the commander of the Thousand Houses of Youzhou border troops, Zuo Wen..."
Fang Zheng pronounced dozens of names in one breath, all of whom were accomplices of the Pan Party hidden in the officialdom and military in the Chinese Dynasties. As Fang Zheng pronounced more and more names, Pan Shangshu's face became paler and paler until he was devastated, like a dead person.
However, the officials who were attending the audience looked more and more happy. If that's right, the names of everyone in the Pan Party have probably been listed on this list. Tomorrow, everyone will report a joint report, asking the emperor to kill all the rebels and eliminate them.
"...Oh, too many, I'm too lazy to read, hehe, Pan Wenyuan, I'll give you another bad news. If nothing unexpected happens, more than 800 people listed on this list are now being escorted to the capital. Well, in half a month, they will go to the court with you, and so many people will accompany you on the road, haha, it's so lively..."
"No…
Yes! How could you know..." Pan Shangshu's pale face did not open his empty and unsightly eyes, staring at Fang Zheng with an incredible look.
"How could I know so detailed, right?" Fang Zheng raised his chest proudly: "I found it all!"
Not only did Pan Shangshu not believe this, but even the officials who attended the audience looked disbelief. This kid has always been greedy for money and lust, afraid of death, timid and greedy for enjoyment. He has such a skill? A rioter with more than 800 people. Do you think you can find out by just sending a few subordinates to investigate? It's too unreasonable to brag.
"...Okay, it's wrong, it was someone else who got it for me." Fang Zheng saw everyone looking at him with contempt, and immediately admitted the mistake in knowing the current situation.
"Who... who got it for you?" Pan Shangshu asked tremblingly.
Fang Zheng glanced sympathetically and sighed, "Old Pan...you have a good son..."
When Pan Shangshu heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and he suddenly froze.
"Before you rebelled, I knew you had this list, and you had been hiding in the secret room of your study. On the morning of the fifteenth month, you took your whole family out of the capital from the secret passage and took this list away. At first, it was hidden in the tent of the Shenwu Army, but later you still felt uneasy, so you took it out and hid it behind the mountain temple in a nearby village, and then led the rebels into the city. Humph, do you think you are secretly doing it, but others don't know? If you want others to do it, Pan Wenyuan, you lost, you completely lost! There is no hope of turning the tables!"
Fang Zheng's words were like a child's heart-wrenching, and he sprinkled a handful of salt on Pan Shangshu's wound without mercy.
"Is this list my son... dedicated to you? Pan Tao or Pan Wu?" Pan Shangshu licked his dry lips and asked with difficulty.
"It's Pan Tao."
"Pan Tao...he wanted to do this? Why did he betray his father?" Pan Shangshu hissed.
"It's very simple, because his friend is not careful, because he is afraid of death. Didn't you tell me just now that the cycle of cause and effect should be unhappy? Haha, I'll return this sentence to you now."
Fang Zheng sighed sympathetically. This Shangshu Pan was very difficult. He was destroyed before the rebellion was started. His biological son betrayed him again, which was a double failure of career and family. Old Pan was not knocked out now, and his psychological endurance was extraordinary.
"Mr. Pan met a good friend a few months ago. The friend's surname is Wu, and I sent the man named Wu. I originally wanted him to approach Pan Tao to take some action, and to viciously impolite you once, or knock you for a sum of money. I didn't expect that you were going to rebel just in time, so I had to go with the flow and make trouble in your house with the east wind of your rebellion... Mr. Wu is also very capable, and I really didn't disappoint me. Haha, I controlled your eldest son's will soon. By the way, the young master's will is too unstable. Before I could send someone to use a beauty trick on him, he surrendered to me. It's a pity for him..."
"You... you despicable villain! You... what method did you use to control Pan Tao?" Pan Shangshu was so angry that he shivered.
"Hehe, how can I tell you such a high-level secret?" Fang Zheng was proud, like a proud peacock: "You originally committed the crime of treason, and the nine tribes must be Lingchi, but I have already promised your son that he would change his punishment of Lingchi to hang himself, reward him with a whole body, and give him a good birth in the next life."
Then Fang Zheng's face became solemn, and he slapped the agglomeration and said loudly: "Pan Niwenyuan, the facts of the rebellion are established, the evidence is conclusive. He also committed twenty major crimes of forming cliques for personal gain, harming loyal and kindness, and deceiving the emperor and deceiving the superiors and fifty minor crimes. This official passed the imperial edict and sentenced Pan Wenyuan and his nine clans to Lingchi, and his family property was confiscated. More than 800 of his fellow party members were killed, to correct the justice of our Chinese law and to warn the world of those who have planned to be ill-behaved!"
"Bang!"
"Prepare the prisoner into the Heavenly Prison and take strict supervision! Retreat!"
"Mr. Fang, please tell me how that Mr. Wu controlled Pan Ni's eldest son? If the method is easy to use, I want to promote it in shadow training. In the future, whether we are exploring information or purging the enemy, it will be of great use..." Wen Sentian begged with a face and pleaded with a bitter face on the way back home.
"This, don't expect it. Mr. Wu used a medicine, which was produced in a small country called "Zao Du Zhuo Buzhao"... Damn! Even the name is completely copied and his mind is not moving at all. It is extremely shameless!" Fang Zheng muttered a few words hatefully, and in Wen Sen's confusing eyes, he shook his head and went home.
--------------------------------------
late at night.
There was no time left in the prison, and Pan Shangshu lay in a humble little bed with a heart of ashes. He quietly looked up at the small night sky outside the small skylight, with a look of despair in his eyes.
He still can't believe that his biological son would betray him. He spent decades of hard work sowing the seeds of Pan Party in China and were wiped out overnight. If he said who he hated the most in this world at this time, then the number one person is no longer the emperor, but his son who has raised more than 20 years. Even his biological son betrayed him. What else is true in this world?
There is also Fang Zheng, a rogue who deserves to die a thousand times and ten thousand times! He is a lowly merchant, timid and afraid of death, greedy for money and lust, and is completely a jester around the emperor. How could his great cause of rebellion be destroyed in the hands of such a person? God doesn't help me, God is unfair!
Pan Shangshu pounded the hard bed a few times in hatred, closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of turbid old tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, wetting the mattress.
With a "Kara", the sound of the prison door with heavy locks being opened and the head was heard from afar.
"Pan Wenyuan, His Highness the Crown Prince is here to visit you in person."
As soon as the light in the cell dimmed, the prince's gentle face appeared in front of Pan Shangshu.
He was stunned, then immediately stood up and knelt down and said, "Old minister, no, your highness, the guilty minister."
The prince reached out and helped Pan Shangshu up, looked at it carefully for a while, and then sighed deeply: "Teacher, you have lost weight..."
Pan Shangshu half-hugged his hair and said.
"Life is unpredictable. After thirty years of dynasty, Gu still hopes that you will still rely on you to assist Gu after he ascended the throne... Teacher, why is that?" The prince's tone was very heavy, and he didn't know whether he was sighing about Pan Shangshu or himself.
"The criminals cannot start and end well. If you don't see His Highness ascend the throne, you will die thousands of people!" Pan Shangshu burst into tears and cried.
The prince turned his head and said, "You all go outside to guard it. No one is allowed to enter and say a few words to the teacher."
The follower responded respectfully, and only the prince and Pan Shangshu were left in the small prison. The prince then turned to look at Pan Shangshu, his eyes were already cold.
"Why do you have to plan:? The throne is lonely, why do you want to steal it from the orphan? Where are you left alone?" The prince's questioning became more and more severe.
Shangshu Pan lowered his face, his old face full of shame, and sighed heavily, saying, "Your Highness, I am sorry to you, but I have no way out. The emperor has regarded me as a thorn in his eyes and wants to get rid of it soon. But you, you, can't protect me. I have been an official in the court for decades. If the emperor wants me to die, will I dare not die?
But I am unwilling to give up! I have worked hard for the dynasty for most of my life, but who can understand my feelings? Your royal family is born noble, and should be taken for granted by everyone and look at the subjects in the world, just like looking at dogs waving their tails at you. You can use whoever you want and kill whoever you want.
When you hug your beautiful concubines and have fun, when you hold up your glasses full of wine and drink happily, when you ride in a luxurious carriage and sway through the city for a spring outing, do you know what I am doing?"
Pan Shangshu looked at his handsome face, which was as strong as a flat lake, and a little heavy flashed in his eyes: "I am preparing next year's spring seeds for the people of Jiangnan. I am paying military pay for the soldiers in the border. I am raising cotton coats for winter and rations for refugees who are flooded by the Yellow River... The most ruthless imperial family, where the birds are gone, the bow is hidden, the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked. I have done so much for Huachao, but the emperor is still ruthlessly regarded as an abandoned son. He will throw it away. Your Highness asks himself, are your royal family fair to me?"
Shangshu Pan said a lot in one breath, breathing slightly, but the prince did not say a word, and the entire prison fell into silence.
"So, you want to rebel and be the emperor yourself?" After a long time, the prince broke his peace and asked faintly.
Pan Shangshu nodded, with no shame on his face: "The emperor gave me a promise first, why can't I give up the emperor? If I become an emperor, I will work hard and work hard. I will do what the Huachao could not do before and dared to do. I will treat the people better. I will make the army more loyal to me and kill the enemy more bravely. I will make neighboring countries dare not offend the border for generations, and all nations come to pay tribute to the court..."
"...You will make the world a mess!" The prince interrupted him without hesitation.
Shangshu Pan was stunned and looked at the prince in confusion.
The prince sneered: "Do you think you can become the co-lord of the world with your tens of thousands of rebels? It's ridiculous!"
"Teacher, you have been a civil servant all your life and are not good at leading troops to fight. Why do you have to ask for this muddy water? War is a major event in the country, the way of life and death, the principles of survival and death, and the principles of survival. Do you still remember? Teacher, this was when Orphan was young, and you personally taught Orphan, and now Orphan will return this sentence to the teacher."
Ignoring Pan Shangshu's old face, the prince continued, "Zhao Hu wanted to lead the Shenwu Army to follow you to rebel. I have long known about the teacher adopting Zhao Hu thirty years ago. Do you think you can hide it from the world? Also, the four border troops you colluded with will not raise the army as agreed. I have long known about this matter. Let me tell you something else that you don't know about the teacher..."
The prince smiled slightly, approached Pan Shangshu's ear, and said in a low voice: "... The mantis stalked the cicada, and the oriole was behind. The oriole is the oriole. Unfortunately, the weak cicada actually ate your mantis, which is really a big expectation..."
Shangshu Pan was stunned and then immediately reacted: "It turns out that the Shen Ce Army did not hold the troops that night because of you..."
The prince sat upright and smiled and said, "The teacher taught Gu before that he should keep his hands on anything. Don't bet and stop his retreat. Now it seems that what the teacher said makes sense. Liu Changsheng, the general of the Shence Army, and his two deputy generals, have been secretly dealt with by Gu. As for the Fang Zheng who defeated you for no reason, Gu also thought of a way to punish him and avenge you. - Teacher, the student is now out of his prime, and will come to say goodbye to the teacher tonight. Time, life, what else do you mean? Teacher, it's easy to go all the way!"
Sighing, the prince respectfully delivered a student ceremony to Shangshu Pan, and then turned around and walked out of the cell.
The big lock in the prison cell was locked again. Pan Shangshu sat on the bed board, staring at the prison door with his eyes straight, and murmured: "I lost, I lost... It turns out that I was destined to lose from the beginning..."
After a long time, Pan Shangshu laughed again, laughing so hard that he had never encountered such a funny thing in his life: "...hahahaha, it turns out that it is because of the young, Emperor, Fang Zheng, my retribution is on his son. Where is your retribution? Hahahaha..."
The laughter echoed in the gloomy cell. Liu Xi, the prison head in charge of taking care of Shangshu Pan, inexplicably shivered and muttered hatefully: "The old bastard eats magpie shit? He laughs so much..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I heard a rumor that it is said that the monthly tickets for New Year's Day are doubled within seven days. So, the old thief was squeezing his hands, blushing with a handsome face, and begging everyone for monthly tickets...
I'll send you a New Year's greeting later. (To be continued,)
