Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1011 Fan Zongyin

After leaving the yamen, Zhang Yan asked about Chen Yi's background and how he dared to cause trouble for him. After asking around, I found out that Chen Yi was the father-in-law of He Yuanwai, a tofu seller, and he was currently living in He Yuanwai's home.

Shaking his head repeatedly, Zhang Yan said: "We still need to get married. I didn't know that there was such a father-in-law outside Mr. He. This marriage is incredible. Sanlang, although you are not young, we are not ordinary people, and we still worry about not being able to choose a good marriage." ?”

Zhang Sanlang had just met Mrs. He Si and they had a very pleasant conversation. I was extremely depressed when I heard that I couldn't get married.

After Fan Zongyin was dismissed as prime minister, he was appointed magistrate of Wenzhou. A few days ago, his term of office expired and he was appointed as the prefect of Jiangling. Chen Yi followed Fan Zongyin to Jiangling Mansion and returned to Dengzhou after hearing that Wang Xiaolie's government was politically clean. He wanted to take back the land, so he got the support of Fan Zongyin. Fan Zongyin wanted to take this opportunity to see if he, the former prime minister, had any weight with Wang Xiaolie, and wanted to choose between Zhao Gou and Wang Xiaolie.

Originally, after Fan Zongyin resigned as prime minister, Xin Xingzong brothers, who were good friends with him, also withdrew from the stage of history, and he had the opportunity to re-enter the central government. However, this brother had a bad taste in people. None of the ministers who were friendly to him gained power, and he became unknown. The youngest prime minister in history became depressed and died quietly. However, Wang Xiaolie's arrival changed history, gave him hope and rekindled his fighting spirit.

When news about Dengzhou reached Jiangling, Fan Zongyin's face turned dark and he threw the letter heavily on the table. He stood up and walked around the room a few times. He turned around and said, "It seems that Wang Xiaolie relies on his large number of troops and is disdainful of me, the former prime minister!"

Fan Fu, a servant on the side, said: "Perhaps the case was decided by the magistrate of Rang County himself, and the news has not reached Luoyang yet."

Fan Zongyin looked at Fan Fu's eyes and nodded, "Maybe so. I can't directly intervene in this matter. It depends on how Wang Xiaolie handles it."

In the Song Dynasty, there was a law of avoidance. If a relative or friend committed a crime, it should logically be avoided. Although Fan Zongyin wanted to write directly to Wang Xiaolie, he could only avoid it due to the law of avoidance. The same principle applies to Xiangyang, and Fan Zongyin cannot directly ask.

Unable to directly ask, Fan Zongyin was anxious and wanted to know what would happen next, and was so anxious that he was anxious.

At Luoyang Xuanfu Department, Wang Xiaolie put down the official document in his hand, thoughtfully.

Deng Tan, the magistrate of Dengzhou, came to the official document and explained in detail the case of Zhang Yan and Chen Yi's land dispute. The case itself is not complicated. Whether you submit the petition to the county or the state, it can be returned directly. What is interesting is the identity of Zhang Yan and Chen Yi.

Zhang Yan is Zhang Chi's father, and his status goes without saying. And Chen Yi is the uncle of former prime minister Fan Zongyin, which is a bit interesting.

For Chen Yi, this case itself will definitely be defeated if anyone with a discerning eye sees it. He still insisted on filing a lawsuit, so he had to consider other factors. If Fan Zongyin knew about this, or if he was instructed by Fan Zongyin, he could only think it was a test for himself.

If you don't return the case directly, or even compensate Chen Yi, you can think that you are showing kindness to Fan Zongyin. At this sensitive moment, if a former prime minister comes under his command, it is conceivable that the court will be shocked.

Sitting behind the case and thinking over and over again, Wang Xiaolie smiled hoarsely.

The case is a very small one, and if too many things are added, it should not be done. If I look at Chen Yi differently because he is Fan Zongyin's uncle, how will the magistrate and county magistrate below resolve the case? Moreover, I strongly object to looking at the background of relevant people when deciding a case, which complicates matters. At this point, why should we consider Fan Zongyin’s ideas? It doesn't matter what he thinks, as long as the following decision is consistent with common sense.

Moreover, Wang Xiaolie disliked Fan Zongyin very much. If you don’t like it, you just don’t like it. Why force yourself?

Picking up his pen, Wang Xiaolie wrote a few lines at the back of the official document: "I understand. It is common sense to report cases to justice."

He called the soldiers and ordered the official documents to be sent to Dengzhou quickly. Xiangyang, the Mansion of Prime Minister Qin Hui.

Qin Hui sat on the top chair, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to an official in front of him reporting on Dengzhou's affairs.

Dengzhou and Xiangyang are close to each other. When Qin Hui was the prefect of Xiangyang, he paid attention to arranging ears and eyes in Dengzhou. Of course, Qin Hui's arrangement was not as strict as Wang Xiaolie's. Wang Xiaolie knew about most of the informants and took precautions. Although precautions were taken, they were done quietly and Qin Hui did not know.

The official in front of Qin Hui was from Dengzhou Yamen, named Miao Fu. Because he accepted money from Qin Hui, he was willing to act as an eyeliner.

Dengzhou Yamen inevitably has some contacts with Xiangyang. Either by asking someone to do it or by himself, Miao Fu inquired about news for Qin Hui.

After reporting on the recent situation in Dengzhou, Miao Fu said: "There is a case recently. Because the two people involved in the lawsuit have special backgrounds, it is worth mentioning. Chen Yi, the father-in-law of He Yuanwai, the owner of the tofu shop in Dengzhou, sued Zhangjiacun. Zhang Yan, a member of the Communist Party of China, said that he had invaded his family's land. There is nothing to say about the case itself. Chen Yijian fled in the second year of his life and had already passed his expiration date. The county government of Rangxian County refuted his complaint. What is worth mentioning is that Zhang Yan was originally Wang Xuan Zhang Chi, the general under Fu Zhang, is the father of Dutong, and Chen Yi is the uncle of the former Prime Minister Fan Zongyin. If you add the backgrounds of the two, the handling of Rangxian County Government will be interesting."

After listening, Qin Hui suddenly opened his eyes. He stared at Miao Fu and said, "You said he is Fan Zongyin's uncle?"

Miao Fu nodded repeatedly: "Yes. Chen Yi is Fan Zongyin's uncle, and almost everyone in Dengzhou City knows this."

Qin Hui said slowly: "Fan Zongyin is dishonest."

Qin Hui was able to occupy a high position after returning to the Southern Song Dynasty, and even became a prime minister, because it was recommended by Fan Zongyin. However, after becoming prime minister, Qin Hui competed with Fan Zongyin for power and tried his best to exclude Fan Zongyin. When Fan Zongyin evaluated Song Huizong's political achievements, he overexaggerated Song Huizong's bad policies, which aroused Zhao Gou's dissatisfaction. In addition, Fan Zongyin had a close relationship with Xin Daozong, the deputy privy capital Chengzhi, and the civil servants and generals in the court formed a force of their own, and were eventually deposed by Zhao Gou.

The relationship between Fan Zongyin and Qin Hui is very complicated. They both belong to the Harmony faction and use each other, and they also exclude each other for different factions.

Standing up, Qin Song walked around the house twice. Asked: "Who did Fan Zongyin keep close contact with after he resigned as prime minister?"

Miao Fu smiled after hearing this and said, "Ms. sir, how can I know about these small things?"

Qin Song glanced at Miao Fu, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know everything you said. You can go down."

Miao Fu resigned.

Miao Fu walked out of the room, and Qin Hui returned to the chair and sat down. He closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "Fan Zongyin would never go to Wang Xiaolie! As soon as he arrives in Luoyang, he will summon his comrades to follow him again, which will be a big disaster!"
