Chapter 239 Nomination

The person who stumbled into the Golden Palace and called for help was King Ying.

The prince's robe he was originally wearing was already ragged, torn into strips of cloth, hanging one by one on his body. The trousers on his lower body were gone, only two furry thighs left, half covered in the bottom of the scattered long robe. When the cold wind blew, the long robe swung, and showed a bit of a slight look that he wanted to cover it. His hair was dispersed in mess, and his face was blue and swollen. He could no longer recognize his original appearance. He looked like he had been defeated by more than a dozen strong men.

Fang Zheng hid among the ministers and looked through the gaps between the crowd. Seeing the tragic situation of King Ying, Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little bitter, - Am I in trouble again? This guy who looks like a pig from a distance and a pig from a distance is actually the King Ying? This joke is a big deal...

Fang Zheng and Fatty originally planned that the prince and the king of Shou, would not offend either of them. They would do their own faults peacefully, accumulate their own strength, and wait for an opportunity to act. Now the development of the situation seems to be out of control. Who knew that the guy was King of Ying in the morning? Besides, the guards around him worked too hard. Look at how he beat this unlucky child, probably even his father would not recognize him...

What should I do? - Why doesn't the Jinluan Palace open a small back door next to it? If I sneak through the back door, wouldn't I have nothing to do?

Seeing this, all the officials were so upset. The originally quiet and silent Golden Palace seemed to have 100,000 flies flying into it, and the discussion buzzed.

The emperor was also shocked when he saw King Ying. He sat on the dragon throne and leaned back unconsciously, and said in surprise: "Who are you?"

Fang Zheng sighed silently, look, it turns out that even his father doesn't recognize him anymore.

King Ying was lying on the ground and was crying loudly. When he heard the emperor talking, he raised his head in shock, revealing a swollen face that looked like a pig's head, covered with snot and tears, and said vaguely: "Father, it's me! My son is the fifth prince, King Ying!"

The emperor was shocked again and said in surprise: "You... why did you look like this?"

When the King of England heard this, he suddenly felt sad and knocked hard on the ground. He cried out, "Father, I'm wise, I've met a criminal when I went to court this morning..."

Even though he understood that it was wrong, Fang Zheng was still very disastrous to hide among the ministers. The timely "Puchi" burst out laughing.

The minister standing beside Fang Zheng looked in shock, as if he was very confused. Why was there still someone laughing at this time?

Fang Zheng quickly stopped expressing his feelings, and he looked puzzled and as if nothing had happened, he pretended to follow the ministers to find the laughing person.

In the middle of the Golden Palace, King Ying was still kneeling on the ground, telling his unlucky encounter with grievance: "... The son-in-law just had a slight collision with his carriage. It was okay for one person to give in, but the man refused to let go. He took advantage of the many powerful people and pulled the son-in-law off the horse without saying anything, and beat him up... Woo, look, look, what did he beat him up! That's not all, he also instructed the guards to smash the son-in-law's carriage, and dozens of his followers were beaten to the point of being unable to move. Father, Father, Father... Please beg the father to be the master of the son-in-law! If this guy is not severely punished, where is the majesty of my heavenly family? What is the face of my royal family..."

The emperor frowned deeply and said in a deep voice: "Can you see clearly how the person who beat you looks?"

King Ying was stunned, then lowered his head with shame, and said stutteringly: "It was too dark at that time, and I didn't see my appearance clearly. The son-in-law only knew that he was a young man, with hundreds of guards around him..."

When the emperor heard this, his brows frowned even deeper. He glanced at the Golden Palace majestic for a week. When his eyes swept over Fang Zheng, he deliberately stayed on him for a while, his eyes full of anger.

Fang Zheng's eyes dodged, his neck was so tight that he could not shrink anymore. Seeing that the emperor was staring at him, his scalp became numb. Finally, he stood up slightly, and smiled at the emperor with a embarrassed face from a distance.

Seeing Fang Zheng's guilty expression, the emperor immediately understood. So he glared at Fang Zheng angrily and snorted, his voice low and unheard.

The young man, with hundreds of guards, who else could this person be?

The civil and military officials in the court immediately realized their thoughts. More than a hundred complicated and difficult-to-understand gazes were looking at Fang Zheng at the same time. The ministers had different eyes, including worries, admiration, disgust, and many gloating.

Fang Zheng saw that everyone was looking at him, and he seemed to be 100% sure that he was the murderer. Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel furious. Damn! What does it mean to look at me like this? Do I look like a suspect? Catch the evildoer and catch the thief and catch the dirty. You old guys have no evidence. Do you want to wrongly accuse the good guys?

It is impossible not to say that Master Fang’s psychological tolerance is indeed extremely strong. It was clearly what he did, but he kept hypnotizing himself in his heart at the first time. I am innocent, I am innocent, I did nothing...

The emperor seemed to have no sight of the civil and military officials in the court. After staring at Fang Zheng, he quickly withdrew his gaze and said angrily to the civil and military officials with a frosty face: "Where is the prefect of the capital?"

A middle-aged man wearing a fourth-rank crimson official uniform wiped his cold sweat out of work, trembling and kneeling on the ground. This person was Fan Fengru, the new governor of Jinling Prefecture, who had been in office for less than three months.

"I am...I am here."

"Hmph! Fan Fengru, you care about the safety of the capital. Someone under your rule dares to beat the prince of the current dynasty. What explanation do you give?"

Fan Fengru's face was pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat and he didn't dare to wipe it. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying tremblingly: "I know my crime. If I don't rule the emperor, I deserve to die!"

"I ordered you to solve this case with all your strength as quickly as possible. No matter who is involved in this matter, you will follow my Dahua Law. You should be arrested or killed and not be indulged! You must be severely punished!" The emperor said something, and after saying that, he glared at Fang Zheng inadvertently.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he could hear a sudden sound in the crowd, which seemed just and had a bit of flattery.

"I... I will punish you severely! I must punish you severely! If you catch such an illegal person, you must...uh, you must..."

"Hmm?" All the ministers looked at Fang Zheng and saw that the person who spoke was Fang Zheng. At this moment, he looked awesome and looked at the righteous expression of "eliminating evil and doing everything". The ministers knew it in their hearts, so they looked at Fang Zheng with interest to see how he planned to deal with the "illegalists".

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and continued, "Hehe, you must... fine him! Well, just let him know his mistake and correct it..."

When the ministers heard this, they were covered in black lines: "…………”

A sentence was repeatedly mentioned by Marquis Fang and then gently put it down. A sentence of "finishment" brought such a bad atrocities. It is a must-see that Marquis Fang's ability to make a big move.

King Ying was originally lying on the ground and cried loudly. When he heard Fang Zheng talking, he immediately gasped and hissed - this sound... sounded so familiar!

The King of England immediately stopped crying and looked up, but saw a young man with a stingy face in the gap between the ministers and the ministers, with a serious and stern face, with his expression on his face so much that he felt the same way, as if the one who was beaten was not the King of England, but himself.

King Ying stared at Fang Zheng for a while, smacked his lips, recalling the sound of Fang Zheng just now, well, it sounds very familiar! But he was not sure if it was done by Fang Zheng. After all, this is the Golden Palace, a solemn and solemn place, and he has no evidence of it. Even if he pointed out Fang Zheng on the spot, it would probably be left alone.

Moreover, although the King of England did not know Fang Zheng, he felt confused when he saw him looking righteous and righteous. This person took the initiative to speak for me in the Golden Palace. He should not be the one who beat me? How could he be the reason why the thief shouted to catch the thief?

While hesitating, Fang Zheng twisted his body and squeezed out of the court officials, walked to the King of Ying, knelt down to the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, such a brave man, you must not let him go if you catch him! You must make such anger for Your Highness Ying! Repay this face for the Tian family! Fines! You must punish him severely, until he never dares to hit someone for the rest of his life, and be honest in the future..."

Fang Zheng knew that the emperor must have understood that this matter was related to him, so his last sentence was a bit like begging for mercy.

The emperor stared at Fang Zheng with anger and smiled, and said to himself: "Fine?"

The King of Ying suddenly looked up and said unhappily: "Father, how can the fine be enough! This person insulted my royal family and beat the prince, which was like a rebellion. He must be killed in the whole family, and the nine clans will be killed!"

Fang Zheng knelt beside him, was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Wow... are you too cruel, right?"

King Ying glanced at Fang Zheng and snorted: "If this person dares to beat me, he will despise the Tian family. How can the fine be enough? - Alas, haven't you asked for your surname yet?"

Fang Zheng bowed and smiled, "Official Zheng, I have met His Highness the King of England."

"Are you Fang Zheng?" King Ying's eyes, which were swollen with only two thin slits, lit up. He tried hard to open his eyes wide, with complex and difficult to see, as if they were taboo, hatred, and fear.

Fang Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I'm lucky to be lucky!"

King Ying's face, which was swollen as if it was a pig, forced a smile: "It's easy to say, I want to get to know Lord Fang, and I have never had the opportunity. I have to get close to Lord Fang today."

"Your Majesty, you'll be polite. The court will be dispersed later. Please ask the Youth to go to the Qinhuai River to drink wine..."

"Oh, how can you make Lord Fang spend money? I'll ask you..."

The two knelt side by side on the golden brick floor of the Golden Palace, and in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials, they started to have a friendship as if no one was around. The two looked like they met too late and they felt that they were sympathetic, which made the ministers on the side look straight. - Is this the Golden Palace or the teahouse?

Seeing that Fang Zheng and King Ying were having a great time, the two of them were hypocritical and polite. After a few words, they wanted to chop chicken heads and burn yellow paper in this golden palace and become sworn brothers of different surnames. The emperor looked quietly, with a playful smile flashing in his eyes.

"Shut up for me!" After a long time, the emperor finally shouted with a gloomy face.

Fang Zheng and King Ying were both shocked. When they came back to their senses, the civil and military officials in the court were staring at them strangely, but the emperor stared at them with anger on their faces.

The two of them lowered their heads while moving in unison and said nothing.

"After the beating of King Ying, the prefect of Jinling was ordered to detect and arrest the murderer and give me and King Ying an explanation!"

"I... obey the order." The Jinling Prefecture Prime Minister kowtowed the leader's order tremblingly, turned his head to look at Fang Zheng who was kneeling side by side with King Ying. Fan Feng seemed to swallow Coptis chinensis, his mouth was extremely bitter.

The murderer... was kneeling with the victim. The two of them were so intimate that they were almost worshipping each other. Do I dare to catch him?

King Ying kowtowed and cried, "Thank you, the father, to make the decision for your son!"

It was a good morning court, and it took half an hour to discuss the beating of the King of England, and it finally came to an end for the time being.

However, Fang Zheng knew that this was not over. After the King of England dispersed, he would definitely know that he was the one who committed the crime. He said that he would please him quickly later. He would have a good relationship with him before he knew the truth. Don’t really turn against him about this matter.

"King Ying, I ask you, at midnight the night before, you ordered your slave in the west of the city to beat Ye Wenjiang, the sir who was taking the exam in Yuezhou, to death. Is this a matter?" Speaking of the topic, the emperor's expression couldn't help but feel a little cold, and his eyes were sharp and he looked straight at the King Ying.

When the King of England heard this, he suddenly looked a little panicked, and then he immediately returned to his calmness. He argued in a hurry: "There is no such thing! Father, this is a malicious frame-up. How could a son do such a depraved act? I hope the father will investigate clearly!"

Fang Zheng knelt next to King Ying, and the look of panic in King Ying fell clearly into Fang Zheng's eyes. He immediately realized that King Ying was denying.

The emperor snorted coldly, slowly glanced at the ministers, and said coldly: "I govern the country with kindness. All the people of our country, from princes and pawns, in my eyes, no distinction between noble and low, are my people. Ye Wenjiang, a son of Yuezhou, went to the capital for the exam and died on the streets. This matter must be investigated clearly and given an explanation to his family! King Ying, tell the truth, isn't it really what you did?"

King Ying's face was a little pale, and he quickly said, "Father, this matter is definitely not done by my son! Please investigate clearly!"

Fang Zheng secretly despised him. After a life of death, you actually refused to admit your conspiracy. Why is it more shameless than me?

The emperor looked at the King of England and sneered: "Investigate, of course I need to investigate. No matter who this matter is involved, it must be handled according to the law. The prince violates the law and is the same as the common people!"

The prince, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly reported: "Father, my son-in-law believe that the fifth brother of the emperor is innocent."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked.

Everyone knows that King Shou and King Ying returned to Beijing this time to compete with the prince for the throne. The two sides have become in power. Now His Highness the Crown Prince is speaking for King Ying in the Golden Palace, which really makes people doubt the prince’s true intention.

King Ying also raised his head in surprise and looked at the prince in a strange way. He knew what he had done. After the servant killed Ye Wenjiang a few punches the night before, King Ying fled in a hurry and didn't even care about burying Ye Wenjiang's body. Later, after returning to the mansion, he remembered to cover it up. He sent someone to go back and see that Ye Wenjiang's body was missing.

It is actually very simple to detect this murder case. If you just check it, King Ying will not be able to escape. Even if a servant is punished, he will at least be charged with committing a murder.

Now the prince speaks for him publicly, and this is a big deal. Knowing that the two sides have made a fuss like enemies, he still speaks for himself today. What is he... for? Show goodwill or is there another conspiracy?

The emperor quickly glanced at the prince and said in a deep voice: "Crown Prince, do you know who killed Ye Wenjiang?"

The case of Ye Wenjiang can be big or small, which is why the emperor attaches so much importance to it. Ye Wenjiang is a scholar and a person with fame. When Pan Wenyuan's rebellion had just subsided, the people of the people were still frightened and panicked. The emperor chose to open a tribute to the scholars in March this year. The purpose of the emperor was to win the hearts of the scholars, and to appease the people in the world. At such an important time, a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam died on the streets of the capital, and it had caused a lot of controversy among the people. If this matter was not found out, how could the emperor win the hearts of the scholars in the world? How could the people in the world appease the people?

When the prince saw the emperor ask, he hurriedly turned his back and said respectfully: "Report to Father, although I don't know who killed Ye Wenjiang, I believe that the fifth brother of the emperor will not do such evil deeds. The father works hard for the country day and night, and we princes cannot share the worries of the father. As a minister and a son of man, we are already extremely ashamed. How could we do what the father is to make the father fair and free? Why don't the father issue an order to thoroughly investigate this matter, give the people and the scholars the same truth, and also give the fifth brother of the emperor a cleansing one's innocence?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, this matter must be found out! Where is Chu Weisong, the Minister of Justice?"

Chu Weisong responded, and just about to leave the shift, the prince interrupted: "Father, be at a loss. If this case is handed over to the Ministry of Justice to handle, there may be some disagreement with the law. This case is serious, unlike ordinary murders, and it is related to the reputation of the royal family. People and scholars in the world are also very concerned. My sons are foolish in their opinion. It is best not to interfere in this case. The Emperor of Justice to send others to investigate it. I hope the Emperor of Father will think twice."

The emperor stared at the prince and said lightly: "The prince is right. Do you have a better candidate?"

The prince turned his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Father, my son suddenly thought that Master Fang Zheng was just responsible for inspecting all officials? The victim of this case was a son of Yuezhou and a person with fame. Although the fifth brother of the emperor is the prince, he is also a member of the officials. Why don't the father hand over the case to Master Fang to find out? Isn't it just right for the identity and rights of the three parties?"

Fang Zheng was stunned when he heard this. What's going on? He didn't bother to attack anyone, why did he get involved with me again?

His mind turned a little, and he immediately understood, no! The prince wanted to provoke a conflict between me and King Ying, and to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Damn it! It's too sinister! I've got you offended you? If I want me to investigate King Ying, I have to find out the conflict even if there is no conflict. What's more, Fang Zheng's heart is like a mirror. He knew that the son named Ye Wenjiang was probably the one who was harmed by King Ying. If he really pursued it, the spearhead would definitely be pointed at King Ying in the end. In this way, wouldn't he offend King Shou and King Ying even?

To put it further, he and the fat man advance and retreat together. If he snatched up with King Ying of Shou, the prince would easily withdraw from the battle, and watched himself and King Ying suffer a loss. From then on, no one would compete with him for the position of Prince.

What a trick to drive away the wolf. He will definitely have no asshole for a son in the future...

"Ah! Your Majesty, I am not feeling well recently. I am about to ask the emperor for a few days of sick leave. I may not be able to take this important task. Please ask the emperor to ask for another wise man..." Seeing that the emperor was thinking and seemed to be moving, Fang Zheng quickly spoke.

The prince smiled and said, "Mr. Fang is young and strong. He is serving the country. He has a small discomfort and should be fine. Why should Lord. Fang refuse?"

Fang Zheng stared at the smiling prince with hatred. It seemed that this guy was preparing to deal with me and the fat man, so he had to be careful in the future.

"No, no, the emperor is clear, I am sleeping outside the mansion yesterday... yesterday..." Fang Zheng looked up and looked carefully at the emperor's face, and then said a little embarrassedly: "...Chun Xiao...Chun Xiao seven times, his body is really weak and he can't bear to take on the heavy responsibility..."

Seeing that Fang Zheng was so strict that he even used such a secret matter as an excuse, the officials couldn't help laughing. The emperor couldn't help but grin, then grinned, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bold! Fang Zheng, you are becoming more and more arrogant! This is the Golden Palace, an extremely solemn place, which is not a place for you to talk about men and women's prostitution? Also, the laws of the Hua Dynasty, court officials are not allowed to stay overnight in brothels or rape women. Fang Zheng, you are so bold, you dare to know the law and break the law! Where did you place your wife, Princess Changping? Where did you place the majesty of the Hua Dynasty's law?"

Fang Zheng opened his eyes wide and shouted with a grievance: "Your Majesty! I am wronged! In fact, I am raped by her..."

The emperor sneered: "Do you think I will believe it?"

Fang Zheng was speechless and couldn't say a word.

"Transfer my will. Yuezhou Juan Ye Wenjiang's murder case was instructed to investigate Fang Zheng, and he must capture the real murderer as soon as possible and give an explanation to the people of the world! Humph! Retreat the court!"
