As soon as he opened his mouth, he hit a soft nail, and the dignified third secretary felt that he couldn't ask anything. The three adults looked at each other and could see the anger in each other's hearts. This time, Fan Xian unceremoniously threw Guo Youzhi, Minister of Rites, off his horse, which really angered many officials in Beijing. I dare not do anything for the sake of it.
But these three adults have other backgrounds and plans behind their own backs.
After a long time, Han Zhiwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, suddenly asked in a cold voice: "Yesterday, the imperial censor chapter participated in you, did Fan Fengzheng know about it?"
"I know what happened, but I don't know the details." Fan Xian replied calmly.
Han Zhiwei stared into his eyes and asked, "Fan Xian, don't rely on your talent and background to be so arrogant. And don't think that this old man will believe you to expose this scandal. You are really dedicated to serving the country and the people. If you don't confess your filthy behavior in the spring, don't blame the old man for being rude to you."
Fan Xian wrinkled Cheng's head: "Your Excellency, there is something wrong with what you said. If the officials did something in the spring, would they be willing to take the risk and report the matter to the court? As for the word dirty, I will return the original. I dare not accept it."
"Bold!" The three adults scolded in unison. They have never seen such an arrogant junior in Beijing for so many years. Han Zhiwei was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he scolded: "Don't think that all the officials in the city are afraid of your background, but you must know that this official was able to run the Criminal Department for eight years because of his righteousness, not your kindness and intimidation. "
Fan Xian said with a smile: "When investigating a case, you care about the facts. How can you make such an impassioned speech like your lord? I really don't understand it."
Han Zhiwei laughed back angrily, and said, "Okay, then the official came to ask you, did you go to the Tongfu Inn on February 16?"
Fan Xian knew that he was asking about the rainy day, and replied with a smile, "Exactly."
"Did you go to see Yang Wanli and the other four?"
"Exactly."
"Before Yang Wanli was admitted to the hospital, did you ever whisper to him?"
"Exactly."
"As the middle man of Chunwei this time, you are charged with the heavy responsibility of supervising the field... Well, I will ask you directly, whether Yang Wanli has been entered into the top three?"
"Exactly."
"Outside the court that day, there were multiple celebrity certificates to prove that you had found out that Yang Wanli was in his clothes. Why did you let him into the examination court?"
Fan Xian smiled inwardly, thinking that he would have told Wang Qinian to let Yang Wanli destroy the silk dress long ago, so there would be no worry at all, and said, "There is absolutely no such thing."
"No?" Han Zhiwei asked angrily.
"Exactly."
"Okay, okay, the official asked you, so many candidates were found out of the examination hall that day, did you still put them in?"
Fan Xian shuddered slightly, knowing that this matter is not even considered a serious matter in a small way, but if the other party really insists on this point, it will be a bit troublesome, but he still replied calmly: "Exactly."
"Okay." Han Zhiwei's dark and thin face was shining with some kind of brilliance, staring into Fan Xian's eyes, and said coldly: "Since you have admitted everything, then I have no choice but to send you to jail for further investigation."
Fan Xian asked differently, "What did the lower official admit to?"
Han Zhiwei frowned, and said coldly: "You admit everything I asked you. This matter is obvious. The fifth rank is Feng Zheng Fan Xian, who, as the middle man of Chunwei, secretly colluded with the candidate Yang Wanli and others for personal gain and fraud, and regards the law as nothing. , it is really audacious to regard the holy grace as nothing."
Fan Xian squinted at the minister, and argued, "Have you ever admitted it? That's right, I did meet Yang Wanli on February 16th. It was because I admired this son's talent. At that time, the scandal broke out. If the next official really suspected of favoritism, how could he go to meet him on the same day? And the meeting place was at the Tongfu Inn, where students gathered at that time, so am I not afraid of gossip?"
He smiled and said: "Since I dare to go, even if I dare not say it, it can prove that my heart is pure and clear, but how can I conclude that I have an affair with Yang Wanli? I want to teach the boss to know that I have a relationship with Yang Wanli." The first time Yang Wanli met was outside the examination institute, it would be unfair to say that there was collusion beforehand."
"Then how do you explain privately entraining students into the examination institute?"
Fan Xian frowned slightly, thinking that he saw too many people at that time, and it was all his fault that he didn't take the spring of Qing Kingdom seriously, so he acted so arrogantly. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Because the lower officials were entrusted by the Overwatch Council, You have to keep a close eye on the corrupt officials above the examination room, so it’s not a good idea to make a small mistake, and as for the detailed reasons, Lord Shangshu can send a document to the Overwatch Council to order them to explain it in detail.”
Han Zhiwei snorted angrily, thinking that the Overwatch Council was His Majesty's spy agency, how could he ask? The more he looked at Fan Xian's pretty face, the angrier he became. Pushing the stick, he shouted loudly, "Come on, you won't admit it, come on! Hit this shameless person!"
…
…
"Can't beat!"
There were two people in the hall who said these three words at the same time, one of them was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he smiled wryly and persuaded the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, that this young man in front of him is not an ordinary son of the rich and powerful, it is absolutely unacceptable to beat him. The nobleman behind him only wanted to teach the other party a lesson and punish the other party for that crime, how dare he fight
After Mrs. Shangshu Han calmed down for a while, he realized that Fan Xian was not only the son-in-law of the prime minister, but also the son of the minister, but also a generation of civil servants that His Majesty admired very much. Moreover, Han Zhiwei was in the six regions, so there was no reason why he didn't know Lin Wan'er's identity. After being reminded by the two colleagues, Han Zhiwei frowned unavoidably, if he really beat Fan Xian out of his mind, he would really not be able to explain it to the other nobles in the palace.
Then the three adults were a little curious, and the other one who said he couldn't type three characters... who was it? The three of them looked down the hall, only to find that Fan Xian was looking at him innocently.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple was a little amused, and couldn't help asking, "Why can't you fight?"
Fan Xian explained sincerely: "The lower officials are from a family background, according to the Qing law, you don't have to kneel down, and you can't torture them at will when you ask questions, so you can't beat them when you speak, otherwise, if the censor comes to be interested tomorrow, one of the ministers of the Han Dynasty will not follow the Qing law. , wouldn’t that be a late birth?”
Among the three people who tried the case, Guo Zheng, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was actually a distant relative of Guo Youzhi. He was the leader of Fan Xian's censor. Hearing the sting in the other party's words, he couldn't help laughing softly. Said: "Master Fan is not only talented, he is also very familiar with Qinglu, but do you know that there are fifteen deadly crimes in Qinglu Shoushu, so you can ignore the rules you said earlier."
Naturally, the imperial censor would not really dare to torture Fan Xian, but he was willing to use words to intimidate and show the depression of Beijing officials these days.
Fan Xian shook his head, still innocently said: "I still can't beat you."
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the person who is the least involved in the criminal case in the examination room among the three divisions, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "This matter involves a serious crime, and Mr. Fan is unwilling to defend himself. Why can't we fight in this class?"
Fan Xian still played tricks, so he might as well bring out the trick of the Overwatch Council, and sincerely replied: "This matter involves court secrets, and I really dare not discuss it in detail without the permission of the relevant functions of the Overwatch Council."
The trial of this case is really aggrieved. The three adults looked at each other and saw each other's fear and anger. This fight is impossible. How can we get Fan Xian to confess? The respective masters behind them wanted to make Fan Xian suffer, and there was absolutely no reason to send him back to the mansion just because of this.
At this moment, a teacher suddenly ran in from the side curtain with a nervous face, and whispered something in the ear of Han Zhiwei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Han Zhiwei's complexion immediately changed, his eyes shone coldly, but there was also some faint fear and hatred.
Fan Xian squinted slightly and looked up. The domineering zhenqi in his body had already been activated, but he only heard a few broken words in Han Zhiwei's reply. After hearing the news, I don't know what made the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment so terrified.
At the same time, two more notes were passed to the imperial censor Guo Zheng and Dali Temple Shaoqing. Guo Zheng glanced at the note expressionlessly, but Dali Temple Shaoqing showed shock. After thinking about it for a while, he got up and bowed to the two adults beside him and said: "There are three urgencies in people, the two adults will interrogate first, and I will come as soon as I go."
Fan Xian's heart was shocked. What kind of note would make this young minister of Dali Temple play urine escape? Before coming to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Fan Xian had already found out that the Secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice seemed fair and honest, but he was actually a member of the Eastern Palace. But it was a somewhat unclear relationship with the eldest princess when he was young. If Fan Xian hadn't had the terrifying power of the Overwatch Council in his hands, he would not have known about this relationship that had been hidden for many years.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the hall: "Come here! Taixue Fengzheng Fan Xian is yelling at the court. He is involved in a fraud case and committed fifteen major crimes. Hit me!" Han Zhiwei's facial muscles twisted , seems to have made a great determination.
At this time, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple had already slipped away. It seemed that he knew that there would be a very dangerous situation in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, and his master did not want to offend the Fan family and the prime minister at all. Fan Xian stared coldly at Han Zhiwei's eyes and said coldly, "Could it be that Master Shangshu wants to beat you to death?"
The censor doctor Guo Zheng's eyes also flashed a bit of bitterness, and he shouted: "Hit me!"
The two fire-burning roots struck Fan Xian's most fragile embryonic bone fiercely. The thirteen yamen of the Ministry of Punishment were used to such things, and there was no wind under the stick, and they were still fierce.
Fan Xian's face was frosty, and he didn't move. He only heard two clicks, and the pants on his legs couldn't help but shattered into several pieces—it wasn't that his embryonic bone was broken, but that two sticks were snapped from it, revealing Here comes the dense stubble!
