Chapter 66: Seeing the Official (1)

The headmaster hesitated for a while, and saw that the onlookers had already praised Fang Zheng for his praise, and the scene gradually lost control. The headmaster was anxious and plucked up his courage. He came forward and asked in a low voice: "My sir,... Could it be that the officials wanted to arrest you into the government office?"

Fang Zheng glared and said, "You dare!"

After being suffocated, Fang Zheng suddenly realized: Isn’t the words I just said that meant? Oh! It’s just that my buddy was too jealous of evil and accidentally put himself in.

Fang Zheng snorted in disappointment and said, "I will leave by myself, there is no need for you to catch me."

The captain was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as he was smooth and respectfully invited the old man into the government office, he would have nothing left. It would be a headache for the prefect Chen to go to the prefect. When the captain saw this man, he would take a detour and go as far as possible.

There is no entertainment activity these days, and finally there is a lively event. How could the onlookers miss it? So, the headmaster was walking in front of him, and two constables carried the injured man, Fang Zheng and the two girls followed. Behind them were the people waiting to watch the fun. A large group of people walked towards the Jinling Prefecture Office in a cheerful and mighty way. There were many people with strong curiosity joining wherever they passed. Just like the greedy snake in mobile games, the team watching the fun was getting bigger and bigger. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and the north of Jinling City almost became a sea of ​​joy.

Fang Zheng walked in front, waving proudly to the people on the roadside frequently. The joy in his heart was indescribable. How touching this scene was. Are the honest officials on TV also so loved and followed by the people? Master Fang was proud and seemed to have forgotten that his identity was a murderer who was to be tried for violence, and the people were just following the fun, which was really nothing to do with "love" and "following".

Yanran and Feng Jie followed Fang Zheng closely. They had already covered their faces with a gauze. Seeing Fang Zheng showing off in the crowd, they couldn't help but feel angry and funny. They looked at each other and turned their heads at the same time. Jinlian moved a few steps lightly, pretending not to know Fang Zheng.

The captain was so bitter that he almost cried. Looking at the show, those who didn't know thought that the capital was holding a grand celebration. I don't know how old this adult official is, but he must be very capable of causing trouble. If so many people gather together, will this matter cause a stir and rebellion be caused?

The captain began to worry and hesitated whether to invite the soldiers from the Jinwu Guard to come and guard the market. Then he thought, what does it have to do with me? Just bring people to the court. Even if my task is completed, even if these people rebel, it will be the responsibility of the prefect Chen.

Jinling Mansion is located in Fudong Street, located in the middle of Jinling City.

Lord Chen was in a good mood today. His seventeenth concubine pointed at the soft little earthworm under his crotch last night, and his face full of admiration: "So...so big..."

Men like to listen to this. Just as women like others to praise her for being beautiful, whether it is in line with the facts or not, being praised is not a bad thing. Of course, in the end, his concubine said another sentence: "So...so fast..." He just pretended that he didn't hear this sentence.

Men still have vanity, which mainly highlights two aspects: one is sexual intercourse and the other is power.

Lord Chen felt that he was satisfied in both aspects. - He was only forty years old and was already a fourth-rank official in the court, holding the local security power in Huachao Capital, and his concubine liked the middle finger of his right hand very much...

Soon Lord Chen was no longer happy.

Looking at the handsome young master Fang in the court, the injured who was lying on the ground like a dead person, and the crowds of people outside the court, Lord Chen felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a living fly.

How could I encounter such a thing? Lord Chen was sad and felt like he wanted to die.

He knew both parties.

Fang Zheng is a newly promoted loyal and brave uncle, a fifth-rank scattered cavalry attendant. Lord Chen is barely considered a high-ranking official in the court. He has to go to court every day, so he naturally has seen the style of being late for the morning court. Even yesterday, he followed a group of officials in the court and gave gifts to Fang's mansion. How could he not know him?

As for the kindness who was half dead on the ground, Lord Chen was even more familiar with it. This person was no one else, but Pan Tao, the son of Pan Yuanshou, the Minister of Personnel and the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince. Because this kindness often mingled in the north of Jinling City, teasing women and oppressing merchants, and ordering the north of the city, no one dared to refuse to obey. The nickname "Pan Bancheng".

One is a new official and the other is a son of an important official. Lord Chen looked around in embarrassment, smacked his lips, and found that his mouth was full of bitterness. No one on both sides could afford to offend him. What should I do?

Fang Zheng stared at Lord Chen's every move and sneered in his heart.

This Lord Chen is probably the one who has received money but not done anything. I remember Xiao Wu mentioned to him that Fang Zheng was pushed down from Qionghua Tower by Mr. Wu and fell into a coma. Mr. Fang went to complain and gave him a lot of money. His knees were swollen. As a result, Mr. Chen accepted the money but refused to do anything.

In the past, there was no one in the Fang family's court, and the officials said they were bullied, but now they are different from the past. Young Master, I am an official now, so I want to see how you deal with it.

Lord Chen looked at Fang Zheng, looked at Pan Tao again, sighed deeply again, coughed twice, and stuttered: "Ahem... Now the Japanese official is in good health... uh, he is not feeling well, otherwise, we will..."

Fang Zheng interrupted him without hesitation: "Mr. Chen, this is not OK. You are sitting in the hall. You have to handle this case, right?"

Fang Zheng is only a fifth-rank official, and Lord Chen is a whole level older than him. In theory, Fang Zheng has to hold the etiquette of a lower official in front of him. However, in the officialdom, it is not simply smaller than the official. As we all know, the position of the prefect of Jinling is an embarrassing character who is angry everywhere. To put it nicely, it is to maintain the public order in the capital, but the capital is full of important officials, princes and nobles, and who can a small fourth-rank official manage?

Fang Zheng is different. Although he is only a fifth-rank official at present, he still receives a false title, but he is a close minister of the emperor. He can easily reach the divine trivial matters. If he is unhappy and bite his ears in front of the emperor, will he still want his head?

So although Fang Zheng spoke to him without any politeness, Lord Chen felt it was natural and did not take it as offended at all.

Seeing that Fang Zheng had seen through his delaying plan, Lord Chen lamented in his heart that there must be both a loss and a loss in the case, and no matter who he judges, he will definitely offend the other party. Today's situation is probably not good.

After coughing again, Lord Chen pretended to be majestic and said, "Who are the plaintiffs, you two?"

Pan Tao had woken up now. Hearing this, he didn't care about the pain and struggled to raise his hand.

Fang Zheng and Pan Tao said in unison: "I!"

Lord Chen was stunned. Before he could speak, Fang Zheng glared at Pan Tao and said, "Are you sure you are the plaintiff?"

Pan Tao subconsciously shrank his neck, and the wound on his body began to hurt again.

Seeing Pan Tao retreating, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Chen, the plaintiff is me, and this kid is the defendant."

Lord Chen said: "What's the matter?"

Fang Zheng made a "angry" statement: "Mr. Chen, I sued this kid tease a good woman in broad daylight, one of them was my wife, and the other sued this kid to commit a rebellion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked. Even Feng Jie and Yanran standing beside them stared at Fang Zheng with incredible eyes.

"Ah?" Lord Chen in the hall, the yamen runners standing under the hall, and the people watching outside the hall were stunned at the same time.

"You...you fart!" Pan Tao didn't care about his life. He didn't care about his fear. Treason was a serious crime to kill the nine clans. Fang Zheng had given him such a big hat. If he didn't make a statement, if he confirmed the crime, who would know whether his life would be preserved.

Lord Chen came to his senses from his shock and wiped the cold sweat that kept coming out of his forehead. This matter was so big, and it was okay to tease the woman. What was the treason? He wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. A playboy like Pan Tao who was just waiting to die would have the courage to rebel.

"Ahem, Lord Fang, I remind you that you have to provide evidence for everything, otherwise you will be considered false accusation." Lord Chen was a little anxious. Under his rule, there was a case of treason. If the emperor knew about this, it would be hard to say whether his head could be kept. The black hat would be lost.

Fang Zheng said calmly: "Of course I have evidence."

Then he looked at Pan Tao with a smile: "What did you say in the powder shop just now? You won't forget it, right?"

Pan Tao stammered his neck and said, "I...what did I say?"

Fang Zheng suddenly turned his face cold: "No one in the capital dares to provoke you. You said this, right? Don't deny it. There are many people present, and you can testify if you just pull it out."

Pan Tao recalled with his head, and it seemed that he had said this, but it was just a ruthless word. Just like when the two quarreled, one side pointed at the other side's nose and scolded "I fuck your ancestors for 18 generations", this sentence had no meaning at all, and everyone knew it was impossible.

"I said this, what's the matter?" Pan Tao said indifferently, thinking that he could produce such a favorable evidence. It turned out that it was just one sentence.

Fang Zheng sneered: "Hmph, just admit it. Lord Chen, tell me, is this kid's words considered a traitor?"

Lord Chen stroked his beard in embarrassment: "This..."

Strictly speaking, this sentence is not very serious. Many playboys in the capital have said when they bullied good people. If they really want to pursue it, wouldn’t all the ministers in the court be defeated?

Fang Zheng talked happily: "As we all know, the capital is the city of the emperor. All under the world is the king's land; the shore of the land is the king's minister. Everyone should know the meaning of this sentence? This boy said that no one dared to provoke him in the capital. Let me ask, did he take the current emperor seriously? Everyone knows that the emperor also lives in the capital. According to what this boy said, wouldn't even the current emperor dare not provoke him? Such words are said, what is it not a rebellion? Lord Chen, you have to handle it impartially!"

"Ah? No... Sir, I'm wronged!" Pan Tao was anxious. How could he expect that the guy in front of him who claimed to be the imperial court was so shameless. He could even exaggerate his ordinary ruthless words. This really cost his life.

Lord Chen held his forehead and moaned, "It's not appropriate today!"
