Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Your Highness, these are family members who rebelled and rebelled. They must not go unpunished." Xiao Long said with a ferocious expression.

"Deputy Director Xiao, if I remember correctly, the court wants you to join forces with Dali Temple for interrogation."

"You took advantage of the fact that the chief official of Dali Temple was not present to torture you privately. Isn't it unjustifiable?"

Fan Xin sat on the chair and said calmly.

"His Royal Highness King Yan misunderstood. The minister of Dali Temple was ill and could not walk on the ground. The official interrogated him alone. He did not intend to deceive the court." Xiao Long knelt on the ground and explained.

Fan Xin frowned and snorted heavily.

Xiao Long's expression changed, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head unwillingly.

After suppressing Xiao Long, Fan Xin looked at his second son Fan Jing with an indifferent expression.

"Second brother, what do you say about this?"

When asked by Fan Xin, Fan Jing looked embarrassed.

After leaving the Dali Temple prison, Fan Jing's roar could be heard faintly behind him.

"King Yan may not know that many ministers have gone to court in the past two days to beg His Majesty to let go of the innocent people who have been implicated."

Since the money was gone, he couldn't muster the energy to do anything.

"Those who disobey orders will be shot on the spot!"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Di Ge is here." Feng Ma opened the door and shouted back to him.

Speaking of this, the smile on Di Renjie's face disappeared.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger and bowed to Fan Xin.

Even Fan Jing sent people to look for him to interrogate the case, but they were blocked by him.

"By the way, the Shenji Battalion will be dispatched to guard the Dali Temple prison immediately."

"Stop!"

"It's a long story. I came to visit you this time because I have something to ask you for help."

"I'm afraid it won't be of any use to you to come to me, right?"

Fan Xin washed his face, sat at the table and sighed while looking at the green vegetables.

"How is it, Your Majesty, have you found it?"

It seems that just saving money is not enough. We have to hire a few nurses with high martial arts skills to be safe.

Fan Xin became curious. In terms of official position, the other party sat at the center and held the power of the world. I don't know how much higher prestige he had than him.

Glancing at the smiling Di Renjie, Fan Xin asked Feng's mother to move a chair for him.

One night passed, Fan Xin was lying on the imperial chair, with a handkerchief covering his head.

Back in the house, Feng's mother came up and said worriedly.

"This case has been handed over to the joint trial of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and Yushitai."

After explaining, Fan Xin stood up and left regardless of how ugly their faces were.

"Right now, a huge sum of six hundred taels has been lost in my palace. You and Deputy Director Xiao should resolve this matter first, and put the rest aside first."

Fan Xin didn't care. When he came back this time, he found that his second son had become much crueler and crueler. If he didn't punish him, he would inevitably fall into the wrong path in the future.

"No one can take away a prisoner without my order."

Nothing can stump Di Renjie.

Instead, someone took the prisoner back to the prison cell and added an extra big lock.

"so…"

Di Renjie did not continue speaking, but looked at Fan Xin with a complicated expression for a while, stood up and left.

"Not yet, I guess he's been targeted by thieves."

Before he was released from prison, he paused and didn't look back.

"I didn't bring any gifts."

"It's a pity that they are all blocked from the palace gate. Even I can't see Your Majesty."

However, what made him angry was that his father not only had no intention of interrogating him.

In fact, he was really impatient and started the torture privately. If it really got serious, he would definitely give someone a clue.

"Father, the child is impatient. Now that you are here, can we continue the interrogation?"

Stop killing so many innocent people, Datang can no longer afford it.

"Oh? What is worthy of Mr. Ge's personal visit?"

"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months. Is King Yan sick?"

When Fan Xin heard that something was wrong, he quickly stopped Di Renjie.

"Isn't Mr. Ge recuperating? Why did he come out?"

As soon as he left, more than a dozen ministers came to the house one after another and asked him to persuade the Queen Mother.

After closing the door, Feng Ma hesitated and finally shook her head and went back to the room.

……

At night, Tai'an Hall.

Princess Taiping sat in front of the big case and watched "Liu Bei Selling Shoes" with great interest.

"How's it going? Have all the ministers who begged for mercy left?"

"The queen mother is still kneeling when she returns. It's been two days."

Yingniang said worriedly.

"Hmph! What I am killing is a traitorous minister, and no one can change it!"

After the coup, the murderous intention in Princess Taiping's heart was awakened again.

This time she made up her mind to eradicate Li Tang's old ministers no matter what!

Distraught, Princess Taiping put down the book and rubbed her temples.

"By the way, how was Xiao Long's interrogation?"

"If there is no problem, execute these remnants of Li Tang as soon as possible!"

After hearing the Queen Mother's question, Yingniang hesitated and replied.

"Queen Mother, the interrogation hasn't started yet. I heard that King Yan lost six hundred taels of silver."

"Right now, Dali Temple and Luozhou officials are busy hunting down thieves for him."

"What! No trial yet?" Princess Taiping became furious upon hearing this.

She was almost tired of being admonished by hundreds of officials, but she still had time to catch thieves at Dali Temple.

Isn’t this nonsense!

"Go, tell Dali Temple immediately, Xiao Long, and ask them not to interrogate you."

"The day after tomorrow, they will all be marched to the execution ground to be executed as a warning to others!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ying Niang bowed and gave a salute and walked out of the hall. When the door was closed, all the ministers kneeling on the ground raised their heads.

"General Manager, has the Queen Mother changed her mind?"

The speaker was Zhong Shan from Yushitai, who was the same year as Zhang Shuo.

Although he didn't agree with the other party's plan to restore the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't bear the killing of some innocent people by his majesty.

Ying Niang smiled bitterly.

Zhong Shangshu, you'd better take everyone back. "

"These people will be executed at noon the day after tomorrow, and no one can change it."

As soon as these words came out, it was nothing short of earth-shattering, and the shocked ministers froze on the spot.

Then he started to howl and cry.

"The Queen Mother, the cruel official Zhou Xing, the scene of coming to Junchen must not be staged again!"

"Queen Mother..."

The scene in front of Tai'an Palace quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

Everyone was shocked for a moment.

The people spontaneously rushed towards Ziwei City, but unfortunately they were stopped by the troops sent by the government.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Let's go find His Highness King Yan."

Only he could persuade the Queen Mother to change her mind.

So the vast crowd walked towards Prince Yan's Mansion.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound in the gloomy sky, and large raindrops fell.

"It's raining." Looking at the rain all over the sky, Fan Xin murmured with eyes filled with confusion.

Six hundred taels of silver was too much of a blow to him.

So much so that my food intake has been reduced by half in the past few days.

Suddenly, a big umbrella covered his head.

Looking at the shape of the umbrella, it is clear that it is the Wanmin Umbrella given by the people when I left Wushui County!
"Why did you take out the Wanmin Umbrella?"

Glancing at Feng's mother, Fan Xin moved his handkerchief to the side.

Normally, Feng's mother would change him into a new towel, but today she didn't move it.

Hesitant to speak.

"I know what you are going to say, do you want me to go to the palace to persuade peace?"

Feng Ma nodded silently.

Seeing that he had guessed correctly, Fan Xin smiled bitterly.

"You take politics too simply. The remnants of Li Tang have always been a worry for Taiping."

"If this problem is not cured, she will kill more people."

"Although I am her husband, do you think she will listen to me?"

Feng's mother sighed softly, took off the handkerchief on Fan Xin's head, and replaced it with a warm one for him.

"My slave did not ask you to ask the Queen Mother to release the remnants of Li Tang.

Since they dare to rebel, they must be prepared to bear the consequences. "

"I just feel sorry for those innocent old, weak, women and children who didn't know anything before the accident happened."

"As a result, the Queen Mother waved her hand and they will be executed at noon tomorrow."

"My lord, there are four thousand lives. Even if you kill them, you have to kill them all day and night, right?"

Hearing that so many women and children were about to be executed, Fan Xin secretly sighed, "What a sin."

The Tang Dynasty finally calmed down, but now it is about to start killing cruel officials. Who can bear this?

"Feng Ma, the grievances and grievances in the court are far beyond what I can solve alone."

"Have you ever thought about it, the world is so big and there are so few unjust cases, how many of them can I handle?"

Surprisingly, Feng Ma was not angry, she just said quietly.

"My daughter really can't believe what she said today came from the mouth of the famous King Yan."

"I still remember that when you were in Wushui County, you spared no effort to splash blood in the court for a brothel girl, Xiao Fengxian. You didn't even serve as an official, but you wanted to seek justice for Xiao Fengxian!"

"Do you know how shocked and moved this slave was when she found out?"

"Because in you, I see the conscience of heaven and earth, and the last bit of righteousness in our Tang Dynasty!"

"From that time on, I, Mother Feng, swore that I would not serve anyone but you, Prince Yan, in this life!"

Feng's mother's heartfelt words made Fan Xin feel ashamed.

At that time, he was just a county magistrate, so he quit if he said he didn't want to do it.

But now that he is a highly respected minister and the safety of the people in the world is at the same time, he is allowed to go against the imperial court for the sake of the people as he did before.

To be honest, he was somewhat hesitant, not to mention that the other party was his wife and eldest son.

Feng's mother was a thoughtful person, and she understood everything once she saw Fan Xin's hesitant expression.

He carefully inserted the Wanmin Umbrella into the gap and ordered.

"Your Highness Prince Yan, I don't blame you. After all, people change."

"Your family has a great cause, so let me ask you to advise your wife for the sake of the people of the world."

"It's just that Feng Ma is ignorant. She feels bad knowing that you lost your money."

"I exchanged the heirloom jewelry my father gave me for six hundred taels of silver and put it under your bed."

"Just think of it as repayment for living in the house for such a long time."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the room.

Looking at Feng's mother's back, Fan Xin tightly grasped the armrest with his right hand, wanting to say something, but couldn't.

At this time, he accidentally glanced at Wanmin Umbrella and was startled.

There were many names written crookedly on it, and some simply pressed their fingerprints and drew a circle.

Mr. Wu, Wu Daozi, the Tofu House, the Madam, and Li Tieniu.

These names looked at him silently like pairs of eyes.

"Magistrate Fan, do you think everyone respects you because of your status as county magistrate?"

"No, it's because you take common people like us into consideration..."

For some reason, Fan Xin remembered the scene of resigning and returning to Wushui County.

"That's all. I've been tired of waiting around lately, so I just happened to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for money."

"Damn it, I took so much money from my family when I went to the palace, but why didn't I hear anything at all?"

Pulling the towel off his head, Fan Xin carefully put away the Wanmin umbrella.

Then he turned and entered the house.

"Feng Ma, we really have to leave His Highness King Yan. I don't want to go out in the rain."

The little maid was lying in front of the window sill, teasing the black wind horse that stuck its head into the room.

After getting along for a while, we became very happy.

"What do you know? We will only cause trouble for His Highness King Yan here."

"Don't forget, since the Queen Mother has murderous intentions today, some people are likely to revive the old case of rebellion."

"If the Queen Mother uses this as an excuse to convict, wouldn't we have harmed His Highness King Yan?"

"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"

"understood."

When Feng and his mother walked out of the house, they saw a scene in the rain.

Her beautiful eyes immediately turned red, then she threw away her baggage and ran into the rain.

"Your Highness King Yan, what are you doing?"

In the rain curtain, Fan Xin wiped the tears of the little maid and said calmly.

"You are right. As an official of the Tang Dynasty, if I am indifferent to unjust, false and wrong cases, what kind of official am I?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to show you this last bit of righteousness in the Tang Dynasty. I will break into the palace no matter what!"

"I don't believe that the Queen Mother can watch the sky darken in the Tang Dynasty!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Xin led the donkey out of Prince Yan's Mansion in the eyes of Feng and Ma who couldn't believe it.

On the street, people stood silently in the rain, watching people and horses passing by.

There is shock, excitement, and worry, but most of all, respect!
That's right, it's a kind of respect from the bottom of the heart for Fan Xin's fearless spirit of doing something even though he knew he couldn't do it!
Gradually, the people gathered into a crowd and followed Fan Xin towards Ziwei City.

When the city gate defenders saw this scene, they all had complicated expressions on their faces.

Not long ago, the most powerful man in the Tang Dynasty inspected the soldiers of the three armies.

Now they have to take the lead into the palace, which really makes them a little embarrassed.

"My lord, why are you doing this? You'd better go back quickly."

The gatekeeper general Cao Wei cupped his fists and said.

Fan Xin stopped and wiped the rain off his face, his eyes staying on his face.

"It is clearly recorded in the Laws of the Tang Dynasty that the inner and outer cities shall not be closed during the daytime unless authorized by the emperor and drafted by the cabinet."

"I would like to ask you whether there is His Majesty's decree to block the city gates and the cabinet is drafted?"

"This……"

"please reply!"

Cao Wei looked solemn, clasped his fists and said: Back to King Yan, Your Majesty has no decree, and the cabinet has not been drafted!

This is the Queen Mother’s order!
Fan Xin sneered and slowly raised a heavy document.

"The laws of the Tang Dynasty are here, why does the Queen Mother block the palace and get out of my way!"

Step aside!

Tens of thousands of people behind him shouted together.

Seeing so many people staring at him, Cao Wei was startled and hurriedly ordered people to remove the roadblocks and let everyone into the city.

Looking at the Tai'an Hall in the rain, Fan Xin touched his chest, his eyes gradually became firmer...

Knowing that you cannot do something but doing it, you are a hero and a great man!
