Li Jianbi was sitting on the vermilion pear flower chair in the official hall, waiting for him.

Fan An approached the door, glanced in, let out a sigh of relief, and dared not go in again with his mouth closed: it turned out that not only Li Jianbi was waiting for him, but also Yu Shi Zhongcheng was sitting in the room, The left and right Qiandu, the servants of the three courtyards, provincial roads, Zhongshu, Wailang, etc., totaling at least twenty, were all sitting quietly on the left and right. When they saw Fan An coming in, they all cast their eyes on him.

Even if Fan An had ten bodies, it would not be enough for these people to look at. He felt hairy for a moment, and he either entered or left, and stood blankly in front of the threshold like an idiot.

Li Jianbi pursed his lips at him and said with a smile, "Why doesn't Lord Fan come in?"

Fan An thought in his heart that I was afraid that you would eat me up, there would be no bones left.While he was thinking this way, a servant lifted a chair from the outer hall and placed it gently in the middle of the inner room, saying: "Master Fan, come and sit."

Fan An was helpless, so he could only walk over with trembling legs and sit down.

Li Jianbi put down the teacup in his hand and came over, and actually took out the dark handkerchief in his arms, reached out to wipe Fan An's forehead, and said, "Why is Master Fan sweating so much?".Fan An sat tensely, and quickly took the handkerchief over, saying that it was just too hot, so he dared not dare.

"Master Fan was invited here today for a banquet. But at noon, I heard something from the censor, and I was very puzzled, but I couldn't believe it." Li Jianbi said, "If we don't get to the bottom of this matter, I can't sleep well, and I can't eat well. So please come here to solve the problem."

"Oh." Fan An didn't know what tricks he was hiding, so he could only follow him step by step, and asked, "What troubles you so much. As long as the officials can do it, I will do my best for you."

Li Jianbi hummed, and suddenly said: "The two young masters in your mansion are both your own sons?"

Fan An thumped, thinking why did Li Jianbi ask this question, does this person know everything? !Look at today's ostentation, it doesn't lose the momentum of the three trial sessions. Could it be that the Criminal Division has ambushed behind the wall screen, waiting for his confession, and is ready to come and bring him to justice on the spot?

He was anxious and frightened in his heart, he lowered his head and sweated profusely, and his blood surged up, making his cheeks flushed with blood.He tied his tongue and said, "Yes... yes, they are all my sons."

Li Jianbi turned around and sat back on the pear flower chair, stared at him for a while, and said: "I sent someone to the state where you were, to check what I know. You only had one wife in Qishan back then, and you never took concubines. , how could there be two sons of average size?"

Fan An said: "To be honest, my youngest son was born to me and a prostitute... He was fostered in another family until I came to Beijing, and I took him out."

"That's right, that's how it is. I can't see that you are such a flirtatious person." Li Jianbi sneered when he heard this, and followed his words, looking for a little loophole and inserting it one by one: "Then the household registration of the prostitute you mentioned Which continent did it land on? Where did you buy it? Which family did your youngest son live in before?"

Fan An said: "My child's biological mother died a few years ago, and I don't know where her household registration is..."

"Bold Fan Pingqiu!" Li Jianbi suddenly stretched out his hand, swept down the porcelain cup on the tea table, and said, "It's up to now! How dare you argue! Your child is not your own at all! You indulged in perverting the law and accepted the son of a sinner in the mountains , Deceive the king, and commit the crime knowingly. You are ashamed to be the head of the prison, and you are not worthy of the name of the minister!"

Fan An's head was stunned by this scolding. Without saying a word, he knelt down and said, "The villain is guilty! My lord, please forgive me!" He just had been guilty for too long and was caught off guard After a little testing, the original shape was revealed.

Li Jianbi said: "Since you know the crime, then tell me what crime you committed?"

Fan An just wanted to confess, but his heart twitched suddenly when he opened his mouth: Hearing what Li Jianbi said just now, the charges were suppressed in an uproar. But he didn't point out that he was an impostor at all!

Fan An thought; could this person still not know that he is not Fan Pingqiu?He meditated calmly, calmly, calmly, closed his eyes and wiped the sweat from his forehead, opened his mouth "uh..." for a long time, but couldn't explain why.

Li Jianbi looked down at him, waiting for him to confess on his own. At this time, a voice came from the gate of the inner mansion in the distance, and only one person said: "My lord, the two young masters of Mr. Fan's family have arrived."

Fan An suddenly opened his eyes. He straightened up and glanced back. He saw his two sons, led by a group of people, slowly walking towards him.He took a closer look, and there were Yuanzhu and a few slaves from his mansion next to him.

He was furious, and regardless of Li Jianbi's majesty, he stood up and trotted out. He approached the two sons, slapped them, and scolded Yuanzhu: "I have something to do in Li's house, so I'll go back when I'm done! You're full!" Hold on, what are you doing to bring the two sons out?!"

When the two sons were beaten by him, their eyes immediately filled with mist.Fan An looked down and said, "Don't cry!"

The two sons had never seen him be so strict before, and when they looked up at him, they cried even louder.

"It's not that the slaves are going to bring the two young masters out." Yuan Zhu glanced at the censor next to him in fear, and said, "The lord of the censor came to our house just now and said that you wanted two young masters in Li's house." Young master, I asked him to come over to pick him up. I... I can do it, but I can't rest assured, so I had to bring two young masters to follow."

Fan An was speechless, but he heard Li Jianbi in the building say: "Chang Qing, bring someone here."

The censor named Chang Qing smiled, bent down and picked up the two dolls one by one, without even looking at Fan An, he went straight into the building.Fan An held the jacket sleeves of his two sons and had no choice but to follow.

Chang Qing put the two dolls back on the ground, Li Jianbi came over and looked down, his eyes were full of smiles, and he raised his hand to touch them very gently.Fan An was terrified, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to embrace the two sons in his arms.

Li Jianbi laughed again, and suddenly asked Zuo Qiandu on the side: "Declaration of the law, the son of a sinner, if he is under seven years old, what should he do?" , or exile into the army, or sent to the outer city, build a city and build a palace, and work hard all his life to atone for his sin."

Fan An hugged the two younger sons tightly, bowed his head and said nothing. "Fan Pingqiu, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and those who lose their way and know how to return are hard to change." Li Jianbi said, "Which of these two little babies is the son of a sinner, tell me, let Zuo Qin take them all away."

Fan An raised his head and glanced at Li Jianbi and said, "It's absolutely impossible, this kid is only two years old, and he will die within a month after being put in prison! I'm a parent of an official! I definitely can't just sit and see him lost Life!" Seeing that Li Jianbi was unmoved, he suddenly collapsed on the ground, playing like a rascal, "These two are my sons! I can't live without either of them. If you want to take them away, you will kill them!" Take my life too!"

Li Jianbi looked at him and said: "Lantai's historian is responsible for impeaching a hundred ministers and arguing for injustice. The admirals are the eyes and ears of the emperor. I, Lantai, only have the duty of impeachment, but not the right to decide life and death. I want you to die I don’t have the ability to take it away.” He said, “It’s ironic that your Ministry of Criminal Justice is the place where life and death are decided. Sir Fan, it’s a pity that you, as a minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, know the law and break the law. This matter is no longer up to you. From now on, it should be handed over to Dali Temple to cut it off."

Fan An howled loudly: "I won't be an official anymore! I only want my two sons!" He said, picked up the two dolls and wanted to rush away.Li Jianbi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Stop him!" After hearing the words, several adults next to him chased after Yun, and dragged him back three or two times.

Seeing his rascal appearance like a village woman, Li Jianbi felt the suppressed anger rushing up in his heart.If this person is still a bit dignified, he should fight him face-to-face right now, and at least put on an appearance of preferring death to submission. Such crying and howling can be heard from Yushitai to make everyone in the imperial city cry. knew!Those who didn't know thought that Lantai was extorting a confession by torture and murdering the imperial court official!

Fan An was determined not to say which one was not his son. Li Jianbi became impatient and said, "Bring some water, I want to bleed for Master Fan!"

Fan An suddenly paused, gasped, and choked on his own saliva.He coughed a few times and then cried louder, struggling to run, seven or eight people could barely hold him down.

The servants quickly brought clean water, and the censor who was holding his arm pulled out the dagger on his waist, and gently stroked Fan An's finger, the blood condensed and fell on the ground for a while. It fell into a white porcelain bowl.

The house slave holding the bowl walked up to the two little babies, bit them and took two more drops of blood.Then he stared fixedly, shaking his hand again.

Li Jianbi looked at Fan An, turned his head and asked, "Have you seen it, which one is not Master Fan's son?"

The servant holding the bowl stared at the three drops of blood in the bowl, shook it for a long time, and said: "My lord, the blood of these two children is insoluble in Master Fan...It seems that neither of them is the son of Master Fan. "

Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard the words, and Fan An even breathed a sigh of relief, unable to cry out.

Li Jianbi said: "Did you look carefully?" The man replied: "Look carefully."

The group of people who were pressing stood up one after another. Li Jianbi walked over and asked, "Fan Pingqiu, what's going on? Neither of your two dolls are your own?" He said angrily, "Where did you get them?" These two children!"

Fan An was terrified, his chest pressed against the ground of Yushitai, and the cold air rushed into his chest, trying to freeze all the blood in his body.

He gurgled twice in his throat, Li Jianbi thought he was going to say something, but didn't want this man to sit up from the ground, glanced at the two sons next to him, clapped his hands on the ground, and suddenly burst into tears.

"These two are really not my sons! I can't have a son at all!" He cried, "I was the only one who had to bear this embarrassing thing, but you guys forced me to make it known to everyone! I don't want to live anymore ! Let me die!"

"Hey..." Wailang at the side looked at him and thought about it, "Could it be that Master Fan doesn't treat women?"

Fan An yelled again when he heard the words, he jumped up without warning, and suddenly hugged Li Jianbi's thigh, saying: "I can't have a son with a woman! These two dolls are all adopted by me. !"

Fan An said: "I... I... I like men!"

Everyone froze when they heard the words, and Li Jianbi felt that there was a thunderbolt under the sunny sky, which made him dizzy and almost lost his balance.When he lowered his head, he saw Fan An holding his thigh, tears and saliva mixed together, rubbing against him indiscriminately.

He was startled, subconsciously took a step back, he didn't want Fan An to be so tightly bound, he was caught off guard and let him fall with his head up!
