In the face of everyone's strange eyes, Tang Fan turned his head to Peng Yichun and said, "Old Peng, now you send someone to Jinyiwei to command the envoy, and you said that you found the rebellion of the imperial court here, and asked them to come and get people. ."
Poor Peng Yichun is also a six-book minister, but he stammered at Tang Fan's words: "What, what kind of rebellion in the imperial court?"
Tang Fan pointed to the woman holding his thigh: "I suspect that she has something to do with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. It's not a traitor or something. Why don't you go?"
"Sir, go to the official!" He Xuan stood up and said.
Tang Fan glanced at him and nodded, "Then go quickly."
He Xuan cupped his hands and hurried downstairs without saying a word.
Yin Qi watched He Xuan's back in the distance in astonishment, and it took a while for him to react, and said angrily, "Tang Fan, you are spitting blood!"
"Well, I can't help it. As Bai Ding, it is taboo to call court officials by name, which is a crime."
Tang Fan held his hands behind his back, so he could relax. If it weren't for the fact that he had a person hanging on his body, this posture would be quite handsome and unrestrained.
Of course, the beautiful woman hugging his thigh was also in a daze at the moment.
Yin Qi said loudly: "Don't confuse black and white, she is obviously the oiran of Qunfanglou, how could she become a remnant of the White Lotus Sect!"
Tang Fan snorted: "It turned out to be the Qunfang Lou Hua Kui, but you know it very well, even I don't know it! Fool nephew, Yin Ge is old and clean, if he knows that you are holding a brothel woman here for fun , I'm afraid I'll be mad at you!"
Yin Qi doesn't know if his father will be mad at him, but now he is about to be mad at Tang Fan!
Tang Fan was no more than two years older than him, but he actually used his identity to show him the pedigree of an elder!
And the only one who calls people is the nephew, what the hell is this stupid nephew!
Who knew that Tang Fan hadn't finished his lesson yet, he said coldly: "The White Lotus Sect has brought disaster to the country and the people, its leader has already been executed, but there are still fish that slip through the net, like this woman who hides her birth from the land of fireworks, but in fact is closely related to the White Lotus Sect. Collusion, you will use your official sons as a cover for your identity, and secretly conspire to rebel!"
The woman was inexplicably charged with rebellion. She couldn't help but look panicked, and couldn't care about her previous mission. She immediately let go of Tang Fan and got up to flee.
Tang Fan was quick-witted, grabbed the opponent's bun directly, and pulled him back!
The woman screamed in pain, but Tang Fan showed no pity. His movements were extremely neat, contrary to the usual impression of earnestness.
Everyone was stunned, and their scalps were also aching.
Yin Qi was furious. He had been instructed by his father and wanted to throw a basin of sewage on Tang Fan in public, so that the censors could impeach him.
He originally thought that this was just a matter of grasping the situation, but he knew that it was not that simple. He obviously underestimated Tang Fan, and he was also commanded by the first army.
Now everyone has been attracted by the topic of anti-thief. Seeing Tang Fan being so rude to the woman, who would think that he was arguing for jealousy
Thinking of this, Yin Qi couldn't help but feel more anxious. He felt that if he failed to complete today's task, when he returned, his father's face would probably be a hundred times more ugly than when he usually heard him go out for fun.
"Tang Fan, you became angry because you were clearly exposed by me, but just now, you still hugged this woman in front of me!"
Tang Fan looked him up and down a few times, with a suspicious look on his face: "Do you also have something to do with the White Lotus Sect when you protect her so much?"
Yin Qi said angrily: "Why do you say she has something to do with the White Lotus Sect! Could it be that you catch someone on the road and say he is a member of the White Lotus Sect?!"
Tang Fan said slowly: "Just because I have fought against the White Lotus Sect several times and personally killed them, I am qualified to say this, everyone here, I only need to look at them to know who is with the White Lotus. There is collusion.”
After all, he raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd watching the lively.
As far as the eyes can see, those people all subconsciously took a step or two back. Some people didn't want to get into trouble and started to turn around and leave.
Everyone knows that the White Lotus Sect is a great rebel who has been killed by the court. Who wants to be associated with the rebel
What's more, Tang Fan has not been a fool all these years. Even if he is not wearing an official robe now, his expression is very light, and he does not show any anger, but his eyes still have an indescribable deterrent force. , so many people dare not look directly.
Even the companions who came with Yin Qi changed from being enthusiastic to retreating, and even reached out and quietly pulled his robe, and whispered, "Brother Yin, why don't we leave?"
Yin Qi was so angry that he didn't realize that under Tang Fan's pressure, he had actually started to feel a little weak, but he just thought that these people were cowards.
"If you want to go, you can go, I won't go anyway!"
On the contrary, Young Master Yin was aroused by them to be competitive, he put a pestle there, raised his chin slightly, and looked at Tang Fan provocatively, with a "what can you do with me" attitude.
"Who's not going?" A cold voice came from the stairs.
With the reprimand of "Jinyiwei is doing business, all are not allowed to leave", the expressions of everyone changed from watching the fun to timidity.
Some people want to sneak away quietly, but unfortunately they didn't leave before, and now they have missed the opportunity. The front and rear doors of Xianke Building are blocked by Jin Yiwei standing with a knife. The latter looks at everyone like a dead person. , enough to make them shudder.
Those who can go to the Xianke Building to spend money are generally not poor, but let alone them, even Peng Yichun and others can't help but tremble slightly when they hear the words "Jin Yiwei", it is because of the shadow too deep.
Jinyiwei, who is affiliated to the emperor's army, has always had the privilege of arresting people first and then reporting on them, not to mention the prison where everyone is afraid. Although Tang Fan's understanding, no matter which yamen is good and bad, the real Jinyiwei is like Sui. Zhou Xue Ling was also an ordinary person with flesh and blood, and sometimes he was even more affectionate than ordinary people, but this did not offset the fear that most people had for them.
Of course, they also have no interest in clarifying their reputation to others.
Life is alive, you can be worthy of your conscience. If you want to pursue perfection in everything, it will be too tiring.
Suizhou came out more and more, his eyes first fell on the woman who was holding the bun by Tang Fan, then swept across Tang Fan's face without a trace, and finally stopped precisely at Yin Qi's place, cold and murderous .
"Did you report the case? Are there any remnants of the White Lotus Sect here?"
"No, there are no remnants of the White Lotus Religion! There is no White Lotus Religion here!" Although Yin Qi reluctantly and worked hard to cheer up his aura, his aura was nothing to be concerned about in front of Sui Zhou, and on the contrary, he seemed short-tempered and guilty.
At this time, if someone carefully observes, maybe they can find that his legs have begun to tremble slightly.
"Sui Zhenfu is the case I reported. This woman was instructed to do something wrong. I suspect she has something to do with the White Lotus Cultists." Tang Fan's expression was calm.
When he said this, he let go of his hand by the way, and the woman fell weakly and sat down, breaking down and crying: "I don't have it! I'm not the White Lotus Sect! It was Young Master Yin who told me to stay there and bump into it when you passed by. You, pretending to have an affair with you, he wants to use this to smear your reputation! It has nothing to do with me! Your lord knows it!"
People who don't know the truth will naturally come to a realization after hearing this, but people with discerning eyes don't need him to say it, they have already seen the strangeness.
"Young Master Yin is the old son of Yin Ge. How can you do such a thing? You don't want to spit out blood. It's better to confess and be lenient as soon as possible, so as not to continue to suffer."
Tang Fan looked at Yin Qi with a half-smile but not a smile, "Young Master Yin, am I right?"
Yin Qi was agitated, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! Tang Shishu, this woman is indeed related to the White Lotus Sect. She not only wants to assassinate you, but now she wants to throw dirty water on me, so let's arrest her!"
Just now, he was still calling Tang Fan sternly, but now he has become Uncle Tang Shi again.
The woman didn't expect that she would become an abandoned pawn in a blink of an eye, and while she was stunned, she wanted to grab the life-saving straw beside Tang Fan as she did just now.
But this time, before she could pounce on her, the collar behind her was firmly grasped and dragged back.
Sui Zhou threw it to the subordinate beside him.
After Tang Fan, there was another one who didn't pity Xiangxiyu.
But no one dared to speak for her, because no one wanted to be labeled as a rebel against the party.
Jin Yiwei's vicious name is really easy to use, but no matter how many people are present, they are all silent and dare not say a second.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yin Qi wanted to turn around and sneak away.
However, his movements were too obvious to others, so he was immediately stopped by two Jinyi guards who appeared out of nowhere.
Sui Zhou asked, "Your name is Yin Qi?"
Yin Qi tried his best to stand up under the cold scrutiny of the other party to appear more imposing: "Yes, my father is the Minister of War, and the Prince Taibao Yin Zhi."
Sui Zhou didn't seem to understand his hints, so he said to the left and right: "Take it away together!"
"Wait a minute!" Yin Qi's face changed greatly: "I don't know which king law I committed, you have no right to arrest me!"
Sui Zhou said coldly: "Since this woman is related to the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and she was brought by you, who can prove that you have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect?"
After he was too lazy to talk nonsense, he waved his hand directly, and Jin Yiwei stepped forward, ignoring Yin Qi's struggle, and grabbed him firmly.
Together with Yin Qi's companions, not a single one was spared.
"Sui Guangchuan, you lackey, you dare to arrest people without permission! I'm going to tell my father, wait, I'll let you go before you finish eating!" Yin Qi shouted.
Wan Dang asked Yin Qi to do this, which cannot be said to be a mistake at first.
Because if Tang Fan was a little bit quick-witted, or he didn't react for a while, it is very likely that this basin of sewage would have been poured on his head by now. By tomorrow, everyone in the capital would know that Tang Fan was in the restaurant with Yin Zhi's son in order to rob him. When it comes to being jealous of a woman, at best Yin Zhi is not strict with his godson, but Tang Fan has to be reprimanded for being humiliating and discrepant.
But now things are developing unexpectedly, and no one expected that Tang Fan's counterattack would come so quickly.
"Brother, do you want to gag his mouth?" Xue Ling asked in a low voice.
"No, let him keep shouting, it's his father who is embarrassed anyway." Sui Zhou said.
"That's good, I'll let him call twice more!" Xue Ling smiled, his tone full of schadenfreude.
He stepped forward and slapped Yin Qi on the back of the head: "What's it called! How could Elder Yin Ge have a son like you, and he wouldn't even pretend to be a fake. Let's go to the prison with us first and then talk about it. ,take away!"
When Yin Qi heard the prison sentence, he was so frightened that he was so scared that he even screamed sharply: "I am really Yin Zhi's son. If you don't believe me, go to Yin's house and ask!"
A group of people from the Ministry of Punishment were standing by, but they couldn't get involved at all. They could only watch from the beginning to the end. Seeing Yin Qi and others being taken away, a trap that was most likely aimed at Tang Fan had turned into a lively scene. The farce, there is no need to continue watching.
Peng Yichun finally breathed a sigh of relief, he said apologetically, "Sir, tonight's events are all because of me. If I hadn't invited you over, I wouldn't have..."
Tang Fan waved his hand: "If it's not tonight, it won't be too late. I just lost their face, how can they give up?"
A surge of anger suddenly surged into Peng Yichun's heart, and even a good-natured man like him couldn't help but angrily said, "Wandang is too..."
Tang Fan stopped what the other party was going to say next: "Danchen, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."
Peng Yichun's ears were smooth in the new year, and Tang Fan was just standing there. There was a huge age difference between the two, but now listening to Tang Fan's lesson and being instructed by Tang Fan, it was Peng Yichun, but he was not dissatisfied with it.
Peng Yichun knew that Tang Fan had this qualification.
However, it is precisely because of this that Peng Yichun feels more injustice to Tang Fan.
"Sir," he calmed down a little and said, "If someone instructs Yan Guan Shangshu to impeach you, I would like to guarantee my innocence and the black gauze hat on my head to testify for you."
"My lord, the lower officials are also willing to testify with their lives and innocence." It was Lu Tongguang who spoke. When Tang Fan was in the Ministry of Punishment, he had a good relationship with him, but Lu Tongguang has always been mediocre and cowardly and refused to take responsibility. This sentence is invaluable.
"Sir, Xiaguan is the same as Pengbutang!" He Xuan said.
"Sir, so is the lower official!"
"My lord, the lower official also..."
All the officials of the Ministry of Punishment spoke up one after another. Perhaps there were many people who followed suit, but Tang Fan was still very moved.
Although Wan Dang is arrogant, they can't cover the sky with one hand, and in this world, after all, people with justice in mind account for the majority.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all, but the matter is not so bad. If you need help, Tang will definitely take the initiative to speak, thank you all!"
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't be polite, sir, this is what I should have done!"
After seeing off Peng Yichun and others, Tang Fan and Sui Zhou went out of Xianke Building together.
"The woman should be innocent. I will go back to the first trial and let her go. I am trying to scare Yin Qi about the prison sentence." Tang Fan said.
Suizhou nodded: "I know, but will what happened tonight affect you?"
"Huh?" Tang Fan tilted his head, not understanding for a while what the other party meant by influence.
But his confused look made Sui Zhou couldn't help grabbing his hand and biting at his lower lip.
Master Tang groaned in pain and took two steps back.
The bright or extinguished candlelight reflected a somewhat embarrassed face.
"Sui Guangchuan!" He raised his tone slightly, with a warning.
"Just as you can't restrain yourself when you see something to eat, I can't restrain yourself when I see you." Sui Zhou whispered.
Master Tang couldn't help rolling his eyes, but he didn't try to break away the opponent's hand, and let him lead him forward.
"You have to be careful." Sui Zhou said, almost half of the figures were hidden in the darkness, and the dim light of the lantern pulled the shadows of the two out of the elder, veritably inseparable. "Tonight's event ended like this, Wan Dang will not let it go."
Tang Fan sighed: "Actually, I'm just passing by. Their real goal is to abolish the prince. It's only because I made Wantong unable to step down in public last time, so he instructed Yin Qi to plot against me. The prince was still in the East Palace one day. I can't tell what's on my mind, it's the crown prince who really needs to be careful."
Sui Zhou hummed and held his hand tightly: "All in all, I don't want you to be in trouble, sometimes..."
Tang Fan couldn't hear what he was saying, so he couldn't help but prick up his ears: "What?"
Suizhou: "Sometimes, I wish I could tie you to the belt of my pants."
Tang Fan laughed: "Then why won't your pants fall off?"
Suizhou: "Just like that woman hugged your thigh tonight, didn't your pants fall down?"
Tang Fan: "Did you see it?"
Sui Zhou: "No, I listened to what the people next to me were talking about, but unfortunately I came a little late."
Tang Fan grinned, and said slowly: "That's a pity, to say that the woman's beauty is actually not bad, if it wasn't for Yin Qi's entanglement, I might really push the boat along the way and have a marriage with her!"
Sui Zhou hummed, as if he didn't hear him: "After I go back, take off my pants and let me check to see if there is any mark left by the woman on it."
Tang Fan's mouth twitched slightly, is it too late to say that he has no physical contact with the other party at all
When Tang Fan went to the cabinet the next day, everything looked the same as usual.
Although Yin Zhi directly turned his head away when he saw him, as if he didn't want to speak, but it didn't stop there, and he didn't take any further action.
According to Tang Fan's conjecture, his son is still in the commanding department of Jinyiwei and has not been released. Although his life will not be in danger, he will definitely not suffer less toss, especially those Jinyiwei, who will not put Yin Zhi down. In my eyes, I wish I could play tricks on a playboy like Yin Qi.
But Yin Zhi's reaction was too calm.
Out of temptation, Tang Fan took the initiative to talk to Yin Zhi: "Brother Yin, does Brother Yin know what happened to Young Master Ling and I at Xianke Building last night?"
Yin Zhi said coldly: "Isn't he still with Jinyiwei now? The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. That wicked son has always been stubborn, and it is not uncommon for him to do something ridiculous. I should thank you for helping me discipline me."
He wiped himself clean with a few words, but Tang Fan was at a loss for words.
At this time, people had arrived one after another, but the chief assistant, Wan An, was late after everyone waited for nearly a quarter of an hour.
"His Majesty summoned me just now, so I came late." Wan An said, "Today's meeting will be pushed back for a while, and everyone will come with me to see His Majesty first."
Everyone looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what was going on. The emperor was going to summon him, why wasn't there a notification before
But since the emperor had his life, everyone naturally had nothing to say, so they all stepped out of Wenyuan Pavilion and walked towards Qianqing Palace.
Liu Jian deliberately fell behind a few steps, grabbed Tang Fan and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why His Majesty summoned us?"
Tang Fan shook his head and whispered, "I haven't heard any rumors!"
Xu Pu also came over and said quietly: "I heard a little rumor."
Tang Fan and Liu Jian stopped, waiting for his next words.
Xu Pu did not speak, but stretched out his hand and wrote the word "tai" on the palm of his hand.
Related to the prince
Could it be that His Majesty is going to be serious this time
Tang and Liu looked at each other in horror, and both became a little uneasy.
