Save the tragic villain in progress!
Chapter 171 Lawsuits
The carriage staggered into the city, and the wheels rolled across the bluestone ground, making the sound of wheels, making the street even more cold and empty.Only the wicker beside the road was blown by the night wind, casting a swaying shadow on the ground, dimly illuminated by the moonlight.
The coachman swung his whip vigorously, made a short light noise in the air, and finally drove the carriage to stop in front of the Fengqiao Inn.Hearing the low panting and the ambiguous sound of water coming from behind the curtain, he didn't dare to make a sound to remind him, so he could only blushed and waited for the two masters inside to come out by themselves.
The two people in the carriage had already kissed in a mess.
Ji Fan fell into Rongxuan's arms in a trance, his strength was exhausted.He resisted the muffled hum that overflowed his throat, finally noticed the movement of the carriage stopped, and pushed the man who was kissing him with difficulty, his voice was hoarse and broken: "Get down quickly..."
The lips were exposed to the air, with little red marks, as if dyed with rouge.
When Rong Xuan heard that he had pulled up the front of Ji Fan's clothes, his expression was full, and even his voice sounded a bit lazy.Gently caressing that flawless face with her fingertips, she said with a half-smile: "Your Highness, are you really willing to let me go?"
He is also a monster.When smiling affectionately, it can hook people's souls away.But he only smiled at Ji Fan.
Ji Fan didn't even have the strength to speak, his chest rose and fell, and it took him a long time to calm down and breathe.He casually glanced at Rong Xuan, his eyes were narrow and long, cold and seductive.Lifting his chin slightly, revealing a bit of arrogance for no reason, he tapped his heart with his fingertips: "If you have the ability, you can break into Prince Yan's mansion again tomorrow. What's your ability to show off in the carriage?"
Rong Xuan could hear that he was mocking himself, but he was not annoyed, he followed his words and said with a smile: "Of course I can't show off my prestige in the carriage, I'll show off in another place tomorrow."
Ji Fan sat up straight, tidied up his messy clothes, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly cursed Rong Xuan as an obscene bitch.He was already uncomfortable with a slap on the chest, but just now he was kissed and rubbed by the other party, and he felt more dull pain, and he might not get better in three to five days.
Rong Xuan originally planned to leave, but seeing Ji Fan's face was still faintly pale, he hesitated for a moment and turned back.He hugged him into his arms, and said seriously in a low voice: "My father didn't hold back that palm today, I'm afraid it will hurt your lungs, you must see a doctor when you go back, you know?"
Ji Fan could hear the concern in his words, and remained silent for a while: "..."
Rong Xuan couldn't hear the answer, so he thought that Ji Fan was afraid of taking medicine again: "Be good and see the doctor, take your medicine well, and when the lawsuit is settled tomorrow, I'll buy you candied fruit."
Ji Fan finally glanced at him: "Are you treating me like a three-year-old?"
Rong Xuan: "Three-year-olds don't need to be coaxed to drink medicine. I'm leaving. You go back and have a good rest."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but just as he stood up, someone grabbed his sleeve.Rong Xuan turned his head subconsciously, but saw Ji Fan staring at him, but he didn't say a word. After two or three seconds, he finally let go of his hand: "...you go."
Rong Xuan always felt that he had something to say, so he leaned over with a gentle expression: "What do you want to say?"
The air was silent for a moment, and the moonlight outside was a little cold.
"Rong Xuan, if anyone dares to compete with me in the future, I will definitely make him die without a place to bury him..."
This sentence rolled on the tip of my tongue, but I still didn't say it, because it sounded a little scary.But it just popped out of my head without any reason or reason.Fortunately, Ji Fan has gotten used to the strange thoughts in his mind, so he tilted his head and looked away: "It's nothing."
Rong Xuan stared at him for a while, and finally smiled: "I'm really leaving."
After finishing speaking, he kissed Ji Fan like a dragonfly, then opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, turned around and entered the inn.Seeing his back leaving, Ji Fan paused slightly, and finally looked back after a long time.
Seeing this, the coachman asked tentatively, "Your Highness...?"
Ji Fan closed his eyes and only said two words: "Go back to the mansion."
Rong Xuan went back to the inn, but just entered the room when he saw Rong Zhengqing sitting at the table waiting for him with a sword in his arms, he couldn't help being startled: "Father, what are you doing sitting in my room?"
Rong Zhengqing glanced behind him: "Of course I'm waiting for you. Didn't you say you were going to pick up your mother? Why didn't you see her?"
Rong Xuan thought it was because of this.He stopped Rong Zhengqing from looking around, found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the table, wrote a line of address on it, and then handed the paper to Rong Zhengqing: "Mother lives in a small courtyard in the east of the city now. Because of her eyesight disease, it is inconvenient for her to move around, so I didn't bring her back. Dad, you just go to this place to find her tomorrow."
Seeing this, Rong Zhengqing was stunned for a moment: "Small courtyard? What small courtyard?"
No matter how powerful Rong Xuan is, it is impossible to conjure a house out of thin air. After thinking for a moment, he can only explain half-truths and half-truths: "At the beginning, Prince Yan fell off the cliff and was rescued by me by accident. In order to repay his kindness, he took his mother to Beijing. If he is recovering from illness, that small courtyard is his."
When Rong Zhengqing heard the word "Prince Yan", his eyes widened slightly.After all, the other party is the hostage of the enemy country, and it will inevitably attract criticism if it gets close, so he frowned and asked, "Why, you have a good personal relationship with him?"
Rong Xuan didn't deny it: "Father, didn't you say that, to be a man, you must repay your kindness. Prince Yan not only saved his mother, but also asked a doctor to treat her. Am I right?"
Rong Zhengqing's weakness is Rong's mother.Furthermore, the word "chivalry" takes the lead in dealing with people in life, and never cares about high or low.Hearing the words, he choked, and had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
Rong Zhengqing stuffed the piece of paper into his bosom, with a solemn expression: "Father doesn't want you to get involved in those dirty things, you have to know that anyone who has anything to do with the royal family will end badly."
Rong Xuan said, "But I want him to end well."
Rong Zhengqing subconsciously looked at him.
Rong Xuan repeated again: "But I want him to end well..."
When he said this, his expression was serious, and the playful smile of the past did not appear on his face, which showed that he was sincere.
Although Rong Zhengqing was a rough person, he was not confused.Some things he didn't ask because he believed in Rong Xuan, not because he didn't realize it, and keenly heard the deeper meaning: "Why, someone wants to harm him?"
Rong Xuan: "Probably."
Isn't this world where people harm me and I harm others? It's really hard to tell which is right and which is wrong.
Rong Zhengqing is a free and easy person, even though he disagrees with him from the bottom of his heart, sometimes he doesn't want to interfere too much with Rong Xuan's decision.He rubbed the simple and simple scabbard in his arms, remembering that he had hurt Ji Fan by mistake today, he couldn't help but sighed heavily: "So, I was reckless today, and I should have hurt him rashly. .”
In fact, Rong Xuan was also concerned about Ji Fan's injury, and he was in a daze for a moment when he heard the words: "The sword has no eyes on the martial arts arena, and no one would think about it. Dad, you go to find your mother tomorrow, and you can just stay in that small courtyard. After all, the inn Not a place to stay."
Rong Zhengqing subconsciously asked, "What about you?"
"I?"
Rong Xuan finally smiled when he heard the words, but it was unpredictable: "I'm going to fight a lawsuit."
……
The Liu family holds the military power, and a daughter enters the palace as a concubine, so how can they be good friends.But in one night, the news that Ruling County King went up the mountain with a hoe in the middle of the night to dig someone's ancestral grave had already spread throughout Shengjing City.Mrs. Liu cried so much in the early morning that she brought the pleadings to the yamen, saying that her ancestors had been humiliated and that the Nalan family had been deceiving too much, and she wanted to seek justice no matter what.
Marquis Donglin went directly to the palace to meet the Holy Majesty, and at the same time, Princess Yongning also sent a post to visit the palace.Obviously, the two families were afraid that they were going to quarrel.
Shengjing is the capital of the emperor, and there are many lively scenes in this land every day.The east family stole the cattle from the west family, the south family killed the dog from the north family, rumors were pervasive.Soon, the matter of the Duke of Ruling digging the grave of the Liu family's ancestors replaced yesterday's topic of Princess Yannian's son-in-law, and became a new joke in the public.
Jingzhaoyin Situxun heard that the Liu family was beating drums outside to express their grievances, so he wished he could pack up and slip away immediately.One of these two families is a close minister of the emperor, and the other is the current county king. No matter how the lawsuit is judged, it will be a mistake.As the saying goes, when gods fight with little ghosts, they suffer, and he is a little Beijing official, how can he survive in the middle!
"What to do, what to do, what to do!"
Situ Xun paced back and forth in the courtroom, anxiously becoming an ant on a hot pot.He listened to the beating of drums outside, and dared not go up to the hall.
The master felt that the case was tricky, so he said cautiously: "My lord, why don't you just call it a disease, this lawsuit will not be easy to judge if the emperor changes, so let's not follow along and join in the fun."
Situ Xun was so angry that he kicked him directly: "You bastard, do you think I don't want to call you sick? I don't get sick sooner or later, but at this time, if I get sick in the ears of His Majesty, wouldn't I become a person who eats a corpse? Don’t be an official anymore!”
He was still reluctant to be an official.
The master clapped his legs and cried out his grievances: "Then why don't you take it, the Liu family has been beating drums outside for a long time, and if you have not been promoted, they must have mistakenly thought that you are biased towards the king of Ruling County, isn't it a white offence. "
Situ Xun stomped his feet anxiously: "Go on, go on, how can I be sentenced after taking over the case? Gravedigger, do I really want to sentence the king of Ruling County to death?! I'm sorry if the eldest princess dies." The Liu family did this on purpose, instead of going to the Gongshu Temple, they came to my Jingzhao Mansion because they knew that the case in the Jingzhao Mansion didn’t need to be repeated step by step, and if the evidence was solid, they could be sentenced to death in court.”
"Master Situ is smart."
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the courtroom, startling Situ Xun.He subconsciously looked towards the door, but he saw a man holding a sword in his hands at some point, and his clothes seemed to be a retainer of Donglinhou's mansion.
Situ Xun retreated subconsciously, pointed at him in a panic and said, "You, you, you... are bold! How dare you trespass in the courtroom, what are you trying to do?!"
The swordsman pressed forward step by step: "Don't do anything, my wife is outside beating the drums to complain, but Sir Situ won't be promoted. Could it be that you look down on Donglinhou's mansion?"
Situ Xun couldn't bear this hat, and he was sweating profusely: "I don't have that intention."
The swordsman glanced at him, then put down a stack of silver bills in the courtroom expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "I also invite Lord Situ to go up to the courtroom to hear the case."
Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts, and there is a thick pile of bank notes, and I don't know how many there are.Seeing this, Situ Xun couldn't help but froze for a moment, and his eyes drifted to the table uncontrollably: "This, this, this... what should I do..."
He was a rich man, his hands were trembling, he was laughing, and he quickly stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves.
The swordsman relayed the meaning of the Liu family, pointing out something: "Nalanchun dug the grave, the evidence of the crime is convincing, naturally he should go up to the court for trial, and send someone to arrest him. The Marquis has an order, and there are too many monks, so Mr. Situ doesn't want to sit in this position." , most people are willing to sit.”
Yuba glanced at him, turned around and left, and turned over the courtyard wall with light work.
The sun was high, and the government office was crowded with spectators.The surrounding people saw Mrs. Liu standing aside wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and the servants beating drums to cry out their grievances. It was so pitiful.Not long after, the government office finally opened its doors, but a group of government servants went straight to Nalan Mansion with knives to "invite someone", and there was a lot of discussion.
"Yo, Lord Situ actually went to capture the little county king. Could it be that he would be ashamed after eating a bear's heart and a leopard?"
"The king of Ruling County is also very wicked, why did he even dig up his ancestral graves?"
"My relatives are on errands in the palace, and the news came out that Princess Yongning and Marquis Donglin confronted each other in front of Shengshang, insisting that the Duke of Ruling planted the tree in the wrong place, and did not dig the Liu family's ancestral grave at all."
"Hey, it's so fresh, the dignified county king went to the mountain to plant trees in the middle of the night, who would believe it!"
Standing in the crowd was a young man in white, who had never spoken a word from the beginning to the end, and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.Wen Yan finally opened his eyes, but said lazily: "Brother, what you said is wrong, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that you have not violated the king's law."
As long as you don't break the law, let alone going up the mountain to plant trees in the middle of the night, even if you go up the mountain to eat dog shit, no one can control it.
His face is like a crown jade, and his demeanor is not like ordinary people.The man who spoke looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you?"
Rong Xuan was vague, and smiled with downcast eyes: "Just look at the lively people."
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.The leader of the yamen guard pushed aside the crowd, followed by a young man in brocade clothes and dozens of guards. It was Nalanchun, the king of Ruling County.
After Nalanchun returned home yesterday, she bit the bullet and told Princess Changning about her "planting trees on the mountain" and being captured by Wucheng Bingmasi.I heard that Princess Changning was so angry that she wanted someone to break his legs on the spot. The old lady at home persuaded him for a long time before finally persuading him, and Nalanchun was able to save his life.
Princess Changning was afraid that Donglinhou's mansion would forcefully take him, so she rushed into the palace early in the morning to intercede, and even left dozens of swordsmen to protect him.However, I didn't expect the Liu family to directly sue the Jingzhao Mansion and let the government come to arrest them.
Nalanchun was actually panicked in his heart.After all, Rong Xuan left after leaving a word last night, and didn't see anyone early in the morning.If he really went to the government and was sentenced to death, he would have nowhere to appeal for grievances after he died, so when he walked to the gate of the yamen, he hesitated to go in.
Seeing this, the head catcher frowned, and cupped his hands at Nalanchun: "Little Junwang, this is the meaning of the superior, please don't embarrass me."
The Nalan Mansion is the prince's party, and now that something happens, it will inevitably involve the situation of the court.Other wealthy nobles were also moved after hearing the news, and came out to watch the fun.The teahouse on the opposite side was full of people, who seemed to be just ordinary tea customers, but upon closer inspection, they were all princes and nobles with important positions in Beijing.
Sitting by the window on the second floor, Ji Fan slowly raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine.With his sharp eyes, he saw Rong Xuan standing in the crowd at a glance.The other party is used to wearing white clothes, his back is always straight, and his body is tall and tall, making others look awkward.
I don't know if he noticed the sight behind him, but Rong Xuan looked back as if aware of it.Seeing Ji Fan, he smiled and blinked, making people blush and heartbeat.
Ji Fan unconsciously pursed his lips, then turned his head and looked away, and snorted coldly in his heart: He wants to see how Rong Xuan, a wicked person, can win this lawsuit.
Prince Zhao Su was sitting opposite, his eyes fell on Nalan Chun, and his brows frowned.It was inconvenient for her to come forward to intercede on this matter, so she could only ask the queen to go to Emperor Zhou for help.There was Princess Changning in the palace who argued vigorously, all she had to do was to delay the time and watch here, and the Jingzhao Mansion must not let the case be settled.
There was a gauze curtain in the middle of the teahouse, and at this moment, a gust of wind lifted the barrier.
Zhao Su's heart sank, and he glanced away inadvertently, only to realize that Ji Fan was also sitting opposite.
Ji Fan hooked his lips lightly, with a gentle smile.He ordered people to open the curtain, and raised his glass to Zhao Suyao.His voice was like falling jade, and he still showed his usual inconspicuous appearance: "His Royal Highness, what a coincidence."
Zhao Su paused slightly, but he didn't expect Ji Fan to be here.For some reason, she always had an extremely dangerous feeling about convenience, even though Ji Fan was just an unknown proton.
After a pause, he raised his glass in return: "Prince Yan, what a coincidence, you are also here, for Nalanchun?"
Ji Fan shook his cup lightly, nodding his head in acquiescence: "Fan and the King of Ruling County are also considered good friends. Hearing what happened yesterday, I was worried, so I came here to see what happened."
Zhao Su glanced at the crowd below, and pointedly said: "Really, I thought Prince Yan came for Mr. Rong."
That day in the Sifang Building, several of them were fighting on the martial arts platform, it was really suspicious.Although Zhao Su didn't know what happened, he also noticed some clues.
Ji Fan paused slightly when he heard the words, thinking that Rong Xuan is really good at it, he can get into a pile of romantic debts wherever he goes, even Zhao Su remembers him.He casually lowered his eyes, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh, what are you talking about, A Xuan? He and I are just ordinary friends. Please don't misunderstand, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Quite a bit darker and darker.
Ah Xuan?
Zhao Suxin thought it was really sweet and affectionate.It seems that Mr. Rong and Ji Fan must have a very close friendship, and if I want to recruit him in the future, I'm afraid I will have to be a little more scrupulous.
While they were talking, there was already a commotion in front of the government office.It turned out that it was the women of the Liu family who saw Na Lanchun and began to complain and complain tearfully. Among them, Mrs. Liu's words were the most stinging: "My Liu family is full of loyalty and loyalty. My husband fought for the country and spent half his life as a soldier. I don't know where I offended the little county king. You want to put the face of my Liu family on the ground and dig a grave?!"
Nalanchun suffered from not being able to quarrel with women, and was scolded bloody by the women of the Liu family.He wiped his face in embarrassment, thinking that the Liu family was so disgusting, he would scold himself as soon as he scolded him, and he had to praise him for his loyalty.He couldn't be more clear about what Donglinhou was. He even dared to swallow money for disaster relief, so he deserved to be called Zhonglie? !
Mrs. Liu is already old, so she doesn't have to worry about the defense between men and women.Seeing that Nalanchun was still refusing to enter the yamen, she pulled his sleeve and reprimanded him: "The king of the small county digs the grave late at night. If the old woman doesn't seek justice today, she won't have the face to see her ancestors after she dies. Let's go, today!" Let's go to the court to clarify!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a light and loose male voice suddenly sounded from the crowd: "Mrs. Liu's words are wrong, you need to know that people's words are terrible. The king of the small county obviously planted trees on the mountain, how did it become digging graves? So dirty The name is really hard to come by."
Everyone followed the sound and saw a man in white standing in the middle of the crowd.Holding a folding fan in his hand, he tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, with a calm demeanor and an unhurried voice.With a smile on his lips, it was Rong Xuan.
Seeing this, Nalan Chun's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook off Liu Shi's hand and ran to Rong Xuan, his tone excited, as if seeing a savior: "Rong Xuan, you are here, if you come later, I will not survive!"
Rong Xuan had been listening to gossip among the crowd just now. After all, the more news he knew, the better it would be for them. He forgot about Nalanchun's situation for a while.He signaled Nalan Chun to be calm: "Don't worry, Xiaojun Wang. You went up the mountain to plant trees and got implicated for no reason. I will do my best to repay your innocence."
Mrs. Liu looked at Rong Xuan suspiciously: "Who are you?!"
Rong Xuan stepped forward, smiled lightly at Madam Liu and cupped his hands and said, "Rong Xuan, who is not talented, is a lawyer invited by the King of Ruling County. When I go to court, I hope Madam Hou will give me some advice. Please—"
Mrs. Liu thought that it was Nalanchun who brought in the rescuers, so she couldn't help but sneered.Last night, the evidence of the crime was undeniable, even if Nalanchun possessed superb skills, it would be useless. How could a mere lawyer resist the Liu family's blow: "Okay, my wife wants to see how you make excuses!"
Their ancestral graves have been dug up, if they don't vent their anger, how will they gain a foothold in Beijing in the future!
Seeing them approaching aggressively, Nalan Chun felt a little uneasy, lowered his voice and asked nervously, "Rong Xuan, will you go to court?"
Rong Xuan calmly comforted him: "Don't worry, I have fought many lawsuits before, and I often win."
The coachman swung his whip vigorously, made a short light noise in the air, and finally drove the carriage to stop in front of the Fengqiao Inn.Hearing the low panting and the ambiguous sound of water coming from behind the curtain, he didn't dare to make a sound to remind him, so he could only blushed and waited for the two masters inside to come out by themselves.
The two people in the carriage had already kissed in a mess.
Ji Fan fell into Rongxuan's arms in a trance, his strength was exhausted.He resisted the muffled hum that overflowed his throat, finally noticed the movement of the carriage stopped, and pushed the man who was kissing him with difficulty, his voice was hoarse and broken: "Get down quickly..."
The lips were exposed to the air, with little red marks, as if dyed with rouge.

He is also a monster.When smiling affectionately, it can hook people's souls away.But he only smiled at Ji Fan.
Ji Fan didn't even have the strength to speak, his chest rose and fell, and it took him a long time to calm down and breathe.He casually glanced at Rong Xuan, his eyes were narrow and long, cold and seductive.Lifting his chin slightly, revealing a bit of arrogance for no reason, he tapped his heart with his fingertips: "If you have the ability, you can break into Prince Yan's mansion again tomorrow. What's your ability to show off in the carriage?"
Rong Xuan could hear that he was mocking himself, but he was not annoyed, he followed his words and said with a smile: "Of course I can't show off my prestige in the carriage, I'll show off in another place tomorrow."

Ji Fan finally glanced at him: "Are you treating me like a three-year-old?"
Rong Xuan: "Three-year-olds don't need to be coaxed to drink medicine. I'm leaving. You go back and have a good rest."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but just as he stood up, someone grabbed his sleeve.Rong Xuan turned his head subconsciously, but saw Ji Fan staring at him, but he didn't say a word. After two or three seconds, he finally let go of his hand: "...you go."

The air was silent for a moment, and the moonlight outside was a little cold.
"Rong Xuan, if anyone dares to compete with me in the future, I will definitely make him die without a place to bury him..."
This sentence rolled on the tip of my tongue, but I still didn't say it, because it sounded a little scary.But it just popped out of my head without any reason or reason.Fortunately, Ji Fan has gotten used to the strange thoughts in his mind, so he tilted his head and looked away: "It's nothing."
Rong Xuan stared at him for a while, and finally smiled: "I'm really leaving."

Rong Xuan didn't deny it: "Father, didn't you say that, to be a man, you must repay your kindness. Prince Yan not only saved his mother, but also asked a doctor to treat her. Am I right?"
Rong Zhengqing's weakness is Rong's mother.Furthermore, the word "chivalry" takes the lead in dealing with people in life, and never cares about high or low.Hearing the words, he choked, and had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
Rong Zhengqing stuffed the piece of paper into his bosom, with a solemn expression: "Father doesn't want you to get involved in those dirty things, you have to know that anyone who has anything to do with the royal family will end badly."

Situ Xun was so angry that he kicked him directly: "You bastard, do you think I don't want to call you sick? I don't get sick sooner or later, but at this time, if I get sick in the ears of His Majesty, wouldn't I become a person who eats a corpse? Don’t be an official anymore!”
He was still reluctant to be an official.
The master clapped his legs and cried out his grievances: "Then why don't you take it, the Liu family has been beating drums outside for a long time, and if you have not been promoted, they must have mistakenly thought that you are biased towards the king of Ruling County, isn't it a white offence. "
Situ Xun stomped his feet anxiously: "Go on, go on, how can I be sentenced after taking over the case? Gravedigger, do I really want to sentence the king of Ruling County to death?! I'm sorry if the eldest princess dies." The Liu family did this on purpose, instead of going to the Gongshu Temple, they came to my Jingzhao Mansion because they knew that the case in the Jingzhao Mansion didn’t need to be repeated step by step, and if the evidence was solid, they could be sentenced to death in court.”
"Master Situ is smart."
A cold voice suddenly sounded in the courtroom, startling Situ Xun.He subconsciously looked towards the door, but he saw a man holding a sword in his hands at some point, and his clothes seemed to be a retainer of Donglinhou's mansion.
Situ Xun retreated subconsciously, pointed at him in a panic and said, "You, you, you... are bold! How dare you trespass in the courtroom, what are you trying to do?!"
The swordsman pressed forward step by step: "Don't do anything, my wife is outside beating the drums to complain, but Sir Situ won't be promoted. Could it be that you look down on Donglinhou's mansion?"
Situ Xun couldn't bear this hat, and he was sweating profusely: "I don't have that intention."
The swordsman glanced at him, then put down a stack of silver bills in the courtroom expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "I also invite Lord Situ to go up to the courtroom to hear the case."
Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts, and there is a thick pile of bank notes, and I don't know how many there are.Seeing this, Situ Xun couldn't help but froze for a moment, and his eyes drifted to the table uncontrollably: "This, this, this... what should I do..."
He was a rich man, his hands were trembling, he was laughing, and he quickly stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves.
The swordsman relayed the meaning of the Liu family, pointing out something: "Nalanchun dug the grave, the evidence of the crime is convincing, naturally he should go up to the court for trial, and send someone to arrest him. The Marquis has an order, and there are too many monks, so Mr. Situ doesn't want to sit in this position." , most people are willing to sit.”
Yuba glanced at him, turned around and left, and turned over the courtyard wall with light work.
The sun was high, and the government office was crowded with spectators.The surrounding people saw Mrs. Liu standing aside wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and the servants beating drums to cry out their grievances. It was so pitiful.Not long after, the government office finally opened its doors, but a group of government servants went straight to Nalan Mansion with knives to "invite someone", and there was a lot of discussion.
"Yo, Lord Situ actually went to capture the little county king. Could it be that he would be ashamed after eating a bear's heart and a leopard?"
"The king of Ruling County is also very wicked, why did he even dig up his ancestral graves?"
"My relatives are on errands in the palace, and the news came out that Princess Yongning and Marquis Donglin confronted each other in front of Shengshang, insisting that the Duke of Ruling planted the tree in the wrong place, and did not dig the Liu family's ancestral grave at all."
"Hey, it's so fresh, the dignified county king went to the mountain to plant trees in the middle of the night, who would believe it!"
Standing in the crowd was a young man in white, who had never spoken a word from the beginning to the end, and seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.Wen Yan finally opened his eyes, but said lazily: "Brother, what you said is wrong, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that you have not violated the king's law."
As long as you don't break the law, let alone going up the mountain to plant trees in the middle of the night, even if you go up the mountain to eat dog shit, no one can control it.
His face is like a crown jade, and his demeanor is not like ordinary people.The man who spoke looked at him suspiciously: "Who are you?"
Rong Xuan was vague, and smiled with downcast eyes: "Just look at the lively people."
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion in the distance.The leader of the yamen guard pushed aside the crowd, followed by a young man in brocade clothes and dozens of guards. It was Nalanchun, the king of Ruling County.
After Nalanchun returned home yesterday, she bit the bullet and told Princess Changning about her "planting trees on the mountain" and being captured by Wucheng Bingmasi.I heard that Princess Changning was so angry that she wanted someone to break his legs on the spot. The old lady at home persuaded him for a long time before finally persuading him, and Nalanchun was able to save his life.
Princess Changning was afraid that Donglinhou's mansion would forcefully take him, so she rushed into the palace early in the morning to intercede, and even left dozens of swordsmen to protect him.However, I didn't expect the Liu family to directly sue the Jingzhao Mansion and let the government come to arrest them.
Nalanchun was actually panicked in his heart.After all, Rong Xuan left after leaving a word last night, and didn't see anyone early in the morning.If he really went to the government and was sentenced to death, he would have nowhere to appeal for grievances after he died, so when he walked to the gate of the yamen, he hesitated to go in.
Seeing this, the head catcher frowned, and cupped his hands at Nalanchun: "Little Junwang, this is the meaning of the superior, please don't embarrass me."
The Nalan Mansion is the prince's party, and now that something happens, it will inevitably involve the situation of the court.Other wealthy nobles were also moved after hearing the news, and came out to watch the fun.The teahouse on the opposite side was full of people, who seemed to be just ordinary tea customers, but upon closer inspection, they were all princes and nobles with important positions in Beijing.
Sitting by the window on the second floor, Ji Fan slowly raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine.With his sharp eyes, he saw Rong Xuan standing in the crowd at a glance.The other party is used to wearing white clothes, his back is always straight, and his body is tall and tall, making others look awkward.
I don't know if he noticed the sight behind him, but Rong Xuan looked back as if aware of it.Seeing Ji Fan, he smiled and blinked, making people blush and heartbeat.
Ji Fan unconsciously pursed his lips, then turned his head and looked away, and snorted coldly in his heart: He wants to see how Rong Xuan, a wicked person, can win this lawsuit.
Prince Zhao Su was sitting opposite, his eyes fell on Nalan Chun, and his brows frowned.It was inconvenient for her to come forward to intercede on this matter, so she could only ask the queen to go to Emperor Zhou for help.There was Princess Changning in the palace who argued vigorously, all she had to do was to delay the time and watch here, and the Jingzhao Mansion must not let the case be settled.
There was a gauze curtain in the middle of the teahouse, and at this moment, a gust of wind lifted the barrier.
Zhao Su's heart sank, and he glanced away inadvertently, only to realize that Ji Fan was also sitting opposite.
Ji Fan hooked his lips lightly, with a gentle smile.He ordered people to open the curtain, and raised his glass to Zhao Suyao.His voice was like falling jade, and he still showed his usual inconspicuous appearance: "His Royal Highness, what a coincidence."
Zhao Su paused slightly, but he didn't expect Ji Fan to be here.For some reason, she always had an extremely dangerous feeling about convenience, even though Ji Fan was just an unknown proton.
After a pause, he raised his glass in return: "Prince Yan, what a coincidence, you are also here, for Nalanchun?"
Ji Fan shook his cup lightly, nodding his head in acquiescence: "Fan and the King of Ruling County are also considered good friends. Hearing what happened yesterday, I was worried, so I came here to see what happened."
Zhao Su glanced at the crowd below, and pointedly said: "Really, I thought Prince Yan came for Mr. Rong."
That day in the Sifang Building, several of them were fighting on the martial arts platform, it was really suspicious.Although Zhao Su didn't know what happened, he also noticed some clues.
Ji Fan paused slightly when he heard the words, thinking that Rong Xuan is really good at it, he can get into a pile of romantic debts wherever he goes, even Zhao Su remembers him.He casually lowered his eyes, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Oh, what are you talking about, A Xuan? He and I are just ordinary friends. Please don't misunderstand, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Quite a bit darker and darker.
Ah Xuan?
Zhao Suxin thought it was really sweet and affectionate.It seems that Mr. Rong and Ji Fan must have a very close friendship, and if I want to recruit him in the future, I'm afraid I will have to be a little more scrupulous.
While they were talking, there was already a commotion in front of the government office.It turned out that it was the women of the Liu family who saw Na Lanchun and began to complain and complain tearfully. Among them, Mrs. Liu's words were the most stinging: "My Liu family is full of loyalty and loyalty. My husband fought for the country and spent half his life as a soldier. I don't know where I offended the little county king. You want to put the face of my Liu family on the ground and dig a grave?!"
Nalanchun suffered from not being able to quarrel with women, and was scolded bloody by the women of the Liu family.He wiped his face in embarrassment, thinking that the Liu family was so disgusting, he would scold himself as soon as he scolded him, and he had to praise him for his loyalty.He couldn't be more clear about what Donglinhou was. He even dared to swallow money for disaster relief, so he deserved to be called Zhonglie? !
Mrs. Liu is already old, so she doesn't have to worry about the defense between men and women.Seeing that Nalanchun was still refusing to enter the yamen, she pulled his sleeve and reprimanded him: "The king of the small county digs the grave late at night. If the old woman doesn't seek justice today, she won't have the face to see her ancestors after she dies. Let's go, today!" Let's go to the court to clarify!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a light and loose male voice suddenly sounded from the crowd: "Mrs. Liu's words are wrong, you need to know that people's words are terrible. The king of the small county obviously planted trees on the mountain, how did it become digging graves? So dirty The name is really hard to come by."
Everyone followed the sound and saw a man in white standing in the middle of the crowd.Holding a folding fan in his hand, he tapped lightly on the palm of his hand, with a calm demeanor and an unhurried voice.With a smile on his lips, it was Rong Xuan.
Seeing this, Nalan Chun's eyes lit up, and he immediately shook off Liu Shi's hand and ran to Rong Xuan, his tone excited, as if seeing a savior: "Rong Xuan, you are here, if you come later, I will not survive!"
Rong Xuan had been listening to gossip among the crowd just now. After all, the more news he knew, the better it would be for them. He forgot about Nalanchun's situation for a while.He signaled Nalan Chun to be calm: "Don't worry, Xiaojun Wang. You went up the mountain to plant trees and got implicated for no reason. I will do my best to repay your innocence."
Mrs. Liu looked at Rong Xuan suspiciously: "Who are you?!"
Rong Xuan stepped forward, smiled lightly at Madam Liu and cupped his hands and said, "Rong Xuan, who is not talented, is a lawyer invited by the King of Ruling County. When I go to court, I hope Madam Hou will give me some advice. Please—"
Mrs. Liu thought that it was Nalanchun who brought in the rescuers, so she couldn't help but sneered.Last night, the evidence of the crime was undeniable, even if Nalanchun possessed superb skills, it would be useless. How could a mere lawyer resist the Liu family's blow: "Okay, my wife wants to see how you make excuses!"
Their ancestral graves have been dug up, if they don't vent their anger, how will they gain a foothold in Beijing in the future!
Seeing them approaching aggressively, Nalan Chun felt a little uneasy, lowered his voice and asked nervously, "Rong Xuan, will you go to court?"
Rong Xuan calmly comforted him: "Don't worry, I have fought many lawsuits before, and I often win."
