Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 25 Confrontation in front of the palace

Chunwei ended quickly, and when a group of students left Chunwei's Gongyuan step by step, a series of officials from the Ministry of Punishment were already waiting at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Fan Xian was still in the hall of the Tribute Academy, and the papers for the last exam still needed to be sorted out. Several academicians from the Imperial College were binding the papers and picking out all the similar papers.

Wang Qinian had already held a whole stack of test papers in his arms.

Fan Xian sat calmly on the chair.

"I saw people from the Ministry of Punishment outside." Academician Sun of Taiyuan College said.

"Of course they came to take me." Fan Xian said, "But it's okay, academicians don't need to worry."

"You have to be careful yourself." Academician Sun said, "I'm going to bring these qualified answer sheets back to the Tai Academy, and the others..."

"I have my own way," Fan Xian said.

When the two parties left, people from the Ministry of Punishment had already entered the Tribute Court to invite Fan Xian.

They were still polite, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian followed them into the palace.

The Hall of Taihe was already full of enthusiasm, the second prince led the officials standing on the court hall on the left, and there was only a lonely Fan Xian on the right, and even Wang Qinian was blocked from the Hall of Taihe.

"Fan Xian." Emperor Qing looked at him indifferently, with disappointment in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is here." Fan Xian was not as terrified as he imagined, but appeared very calm. He bowed and said softly, "I don't know what your majesty hastily called me here for?"

In fact, this sentence was not addressed to Emperor Qing, but to the group of stinky fish and shrimps next to him.

"Fan Xian!" The censor of the Senate walked out in one step, and began to output to Fan Xian, "You, as the chief examiner of Chunwei, have three major events this time, and you actually asked why His Majesty summoned you, what a joke in the world , These three major events were all caused by your subordinates, you can hardly escape the blame, as the chief examiner of Chunwei! You can be convicted!"

Fan Xian was taken aback, "I...what's wrong with me? Three important things...please tell me one by one, Mr. Yushi?"

"Hmph." The censor snorted coldly, turned his head to pay respects to Emperor Qing, and said, "Your Majesty, the censor of the Senate, the first crime I sued against Fan Xian is the crime of being a corrupt official and neglecting control. The night before, there was a sudden fire in the Gongyuan, and Fan Xian couldn't escape the blame, the fire burned several people, this is a crime of poor maintenance!"

Emperor Qing turned his head and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Fan Xian said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed true."

"Then your charge will be settled." His Majesty said.

The censor of the Senate is naturally confident to sue Fan Xian, but this is just a prologue, and the good food is still to come.

But Fan Xian continued, "Your Majesty, what if an outsider invades and forcibly burns down the Tribute Court to erase the evidence?"

"Evidence?" Emperor Qing was stunned, "What evidence."

"The matter of this evidence is of great importance. There are so many miscellaneous people present...I'm afraid..." Fan Xian hesitated for a moment.

"What do you mean by that!" Mr. Xingbulian was a little dissatisfied, "I can't listen to anything involving evidence? Fan Xian, I advise you not to scare people here."

"Since it's a third-class felony, why don't we discuss the latter charges first, and then make a decision after we've finished talking," Fan Xian said.

"Okay!" Lord Lian walked out directly, "The remaining two charges are that the Ministry of Criminal Justice sued Fan Xian, Commissioner of the Overwatch Council, involving two major homicide cases!"

Fan Xian was stunned.

"Talk." Emperor Qing said with a sullen face.

"The first case was the first day of admission to the Tribute Academy. On the night before the first exam, a murder occurred in the Tribute Academy. The corpse of the murdered person was in the room, bloody and bloody. Terrible!"

"The second case happened on the night when the students of Gongyuan finished their second class exams. It happened at the same time as the fire that Mr. Yushi said. A student's neck was pierced on the spot. Confession, this is because Fan Xian colluded with an examinee named Deng Ziyue in an attempt to plagiarize the essays of the examinees in the examination room nearby, and after being rejected, he took advantage of his position in the Overwatch Council to kill him!"

"Lord Fan, the evidence is solid, how do you explain it?" Lord Lian asked.

Fan Xian suddenly laughed. His laugh was loud and piercing.

Emperor Qing frowned and looked at Fan Xian, "Why are you laughing?"

"Your Majesty!" Fan Xian suddenly stopped and said, "I just feel that the level of ridiculousness of this matter has exceeded my imagination."

"How do you explain?" Emperor Qing asked.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about it step by step." Fan Xian said, his smile was full of confidence, "I really don't know when and where the first so-called case, Mr. Lian, happened. Even Your Majesty is indeed very powerful. People are in the imperial city of the capital city, but they already know these things in the impenetrable Gongyuan, which is really amazing, not only that, but also know the details of the so-called case, which I did not expect."

Sir Lian snorted coldly, "You think you are flawless and can hide the truth, but in fact you have forgotten that although the Overwatch Council has given you power, this is the capital city, and you, Fan Xian, can't do anything wrong with the power of the Overwatch Council alone. The place!"

Fan Xian said lazily, "Who is the deceased?"

"You..." Master Lian was stopped by the question.

"You talked about the first murder case, and you said it so grandiosely and confidently, so let me ask you who the murderer was." Fan Xian said bluntly.

"Fan Xian!" Mr. Fang from the Ministry of Rites walked out, "I have to see it with my own eyes. The examination room was bloody and bloody, and the people from the Overwatch Council poured bloody water out in pots. You want to deny it and hide in front of His Majesty." I'm afraid it's an idiot's dream?"

"Fan Xian." Emperor Qing said coldly, "Be honest."

Fan Xian cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, it's like this. There are a total of 120 Chunwei candidates in the Tribute Academy. One person was assassinated on the first day and night of the examination, and there are 120 people left. The names of these 120 people are all in the register. It is absolutely possible to put the names of the candidates Take it out and let the Ministry of Punishments and Rites compare it one by one, so as to find out who is dead. Isn’t that good? I don’t know about this matter now. If I have to say that it has something to do with me, at least the body should be taken away. Come out?"

"Then how do you explain it, the pool of flesh and blood in the exam room!" Master Fang said.

"Who are you? Why should I explain to you?" Fan Xian frowned, and a hostility came out of his eyes.

Master Fang closed his mouth.

"Your Majesty, I hope that Lord Lian has some evidence for this nonsense, otherwise, I'm afraid any grassroots person in the world can come to this post in the Ministry of Punishment." Fan Xian sneered, then turned his head to face The Ministry of Criminal Justice said, "My lord, do you have evidence?"

Master Lian clenched his hands and said sharply, "Okay! Let's not talk about the first case, the second case, you have an explanation!"

"How could I have an explanation for the second case?" Fan Xian smiled with a slanted mouth. "I'm rather curious. Since your lord is so clear, why don't you explain it to your lord?"

Master Lian walked over without hesitation and began to tell secret details.

As everyone knows, this is a huge trap for Fan Xian.

The face of His Royal Highness the Second Prince has darkened.
