chapter 34 of the lawsuit is approaching
Si Li Li feel that they made a beautiful dream, in the dream met their own good man, is under the flower candle line that shameful things, a few times after the clouds and rain, only to wake up leisurely, into the eye, but is a still a little strange beautiful cheeks.
She just thought of last night’s events, holding their own son is that handsome Fan Gongzi, just slightly feel a little strange, is not too much wine, how even those details are some do not remember to understand? Thinking of this, can not help but a trace of resentment born on the heart, know that they have finally embarked on the road that has been some resistance, but the thought of the brain remnants of the soul memories, can not help but legs slightly clamped, all the body sore and soft.
Realizing that the man beside her moved, Si Li Li hurriedly pretended to be asleep. Fan Xian woke up and looked at the girl’s sleeping face, where the patience, held in the arms of a good warm for a period of time, before satisfied with a hand full of residual fragrance, wash away from the ship and go.
After a while, Si Li Li only opened his eyes, began to clean up the battlefield last night, don’t know what he found, actually let out a shy and doubtful exclamation.
When he left the courtesan boat, in fact, the sky was not yet completely bright, and Shizi was still sleeping in his room holding Miss Yuan Meng, so Fan Xian did not greet him. He was in a hurry to leave because he had just come to the capital not long ago, and it was always inconvenient to stay out with prostitutes, and what’s more, it was assumed that the Guo family should be making a scene soon, so he was ready to go back to the Fan Mansion to watch the theater.
The reason why he didn’t really do anything with that Lili girl last night is not because Fan Xian is such a Taoist gentleman, it’s purely a kind of spiritual and physiological cleanliness that is at work, it’s hard for him to accept a woman that another man has ever touched, and in his previous life, he saw a lot of venereal disease prevention and control publicity boards placed on the street, and had a deep fear of philandering disease. In this world, there are no condoms, so there is no harm in visiting a green house, but if you really want to do something, it is a bit risky.
There are just aftereffects, Fan Xian looked at the indecent protrusion of the clothes underneath, sighed sadly, and regretted that when he was in Tanyu State, he did not continue to develop something with Si Si. When the sedan chair arrived at the corner gate of Fan’s residence, a master, three servants and four people sneaked in by shouting open the door, and instructed the guard who opened the door not to make any noise.
Fan Xian went back to his room to catch up on his sleep, and when he woke up, the sky was already bright, and he dragged his clogs to the front yard, only to hear a lot of noise and clamor there, and in his heart, he guessed what had happened, but on his face, he pretended to be perplexed.
That said this morning, the Kyoto Prefect Mei Zhili is sleepy in the study, but unexpectedly heard a rush over a drums, but not a good angry, thought where is the unruly people, even dare to delay the master of my rest, but the court rules here, he did not dare to slow down, went to the public hall, a burst of shouting sound, the master of the lawsuit handed up.
Mei Zhili saw this paper, the heart is a shiver, this sued, and the defendant, are not ordinary people. The plaintiff is the only son of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, who is now the compiler in the palace, Guo Baokun, who has a reputation for his talent, and the defendant is Fan Xian, who is a member of Fan Jian’s family, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The charge is that last night Fan Xian roadblocking murder, provoking trouble, beating the court officials in the street.
Seeing these two surnames on the paper, Mei Zhili will have the intention to retreat. Nowadays, the court is divided into two factions, one faction embraces the crown prince, and the other faction does not show the mountain and does not show the water, but hidden to the second prince as the leader. This Minister of Rites Guo Youzhi, when the Prince’s teacher, naturally, is the Prince’s faction, while the Ministry of Household Fan Jian, although on the surface there is no tendency, but has always been good friends with the King’s House, and the King’s son is known to everyone in the faction of the second Prince.
This case looks simple, but a bad, I’m afraid it will cause the crown prince and the second prince faction to attack each other, think of this, Mei Zhili secretly scolded that do not know the importance of Fan Xian, Fan Xian’s reputation is now gradually in the Kyoto, the officials know that he is the Sinanbo has been raised in Tanya State illegitimate child. Mei Zhili thought to himself, “You stay in the borderland of Tanyu State, where do you know the danger of this Kyoto, actually dared to commit murder in the street, I really do not know how to clean up.
But the pleadings are clearly written, witnesses and material evidence are all there, there is no way for Mei Zhili to delay. He looked at the paper and frowned, then sent the paperwork to go to Sinanbo House to get people, but on the other hand, secretly sent people to hurry to the Ministry of households to notify Minister Fan.
Fan Xian saw, is the Kyoto government sent the police to take the scene, to know the Fan family and the royal family close relationship, in the past ten years, only they take people, which have their own reason to be taken, so more than a dozen sticks have long been raised, the family guards put on a loyal protector of the posture, eyeing the poor police officers.
At the front door of the Fan Mansion, the servants were also completely helpless, and had to speak kindly, thinking that it was the Lord’s intention to take the man, and that even if the Fan Mansion was furious, it would have to let the man go to the government office for a trip.
Fan Xian smiled, and was about to go up and respond, but unexpectedly heard a teenager bellowing, “Where did the dog legs come from, all of them give me a beating out!” Naturally, the one who dared to say that he would beat up the officials was no other than our young master, Fan Si Zhe, who had a violent temperament.
When the guards heard the young master’s words, they roared and bravely advanced with their sticks, but thinking that the other party was a government official, they didn’t really fight, they just smashed on the ground to scare the other party out. Officials this time is really angry miserable, originally know that the other side is not to be messed with, so the chains of those eye-catching guys have not brought, I do not expect to still fall into a miserable end.
“Nonsense what.” At this time, Liu finally came out from the inside with a curl, frowned at those few servants, ordered people to please go in and watch the tea, and then looked at Fan Xian imperceptibly.
Fan Xian innocently shrugged his shoulders.
In the middle of the flower hall, a few servants were fidgeting a bit as they looked at this madam, and according to their status, it would have been impossible for them to receive this kind of treatment in normal times. They also understood that the Fan family would be so polite because of what, but also because of this, that’s why this tea was a bit unappetizing, in case the other party was annoyed, how were these little shrimps of theirs going to live in the capital?
Asked the whole story, Liu frowned: “This is a little wrong, our family young master from yesterday’s Jingwangfu Poetry Club back, has been at home to study. That Oxford Street is far away from our Fan Mansion, how could it be that our youngest master went to beat up his son from the Guo family?”
The errand boy said with some difficulty, “This is Guo Gongzi himself identified, and besides ……” he said with some disbelief, “Fan Gongzi really stayed in the mansion all yesterday?”
Liu’s soft gaze instantly turned into two small knives, staring fiercely at the errand boy, “Could it be that our Fan family would still lie?”
The agent bluffed and hurriedly shut up, but he wouldn’t retreat, after all, the plaintiff was still waiting in the public hall. Fan Xian sat aside quietly and calmly, but in his heart he was a little surprised, not knowing why Liu would help himself. In fact, he does not understand this era of the high families, clan tilting no matter how intense, but once there is a foreign enemy in, these clans will always temporarily put aside all internal disputes, all efforts to the outside world.
Liu sipped a mouthful of tea, know that these officers are also unable to, difficult for them is useless, said with a slight smile: “His Guo family said we fight is to fight? The world is nothing more than reason and favor, can not say that they hand over a paper, our family has to go to obediently respond, although our Fan House is not what the rich and powerful, but in this Kyoto is to stay a few points of face. I’m just curious, this day in the government office to hand the paper who?”
“It was the steward of the Guo Mansion.” The servant thought to himself that your Fan clan is still not rich, the capital really can not find a few rich, and hurriedly answered.
Not to say yet, once heard just a butler handing the paper, Aunt Liu willow eyebrow raised, a slap on the table scolded: “Shouting a butler handing a lawsuit, then want our family to answer, how can there be this kind of reasoning? Didn’t you say that Mr. Guo was beaten? What did he look like? If you’re going to file a complaint, do it yourself. Otherwise, tomorrow I will also let my housekeeper go to your court every day to sue him Guo Baokun for bullying people, dominating men and occupying women, no matter whether I am justified or not, you have to let that Guo Baokun go to your court to wait for him!”
Before the words fell, Liu’s voice had already commanded, “Housekeeper Xu.”
Butler Xu knowingly stood out, answered “yes”.
Liu said in a cold voice: “Call Mr. Zheng to hurry up and write a dozen or so petitions, from tomorrow onwards, our family will run to Kyoto every day, even if we don’t scare the Guo family to death, but also want to tire the Guo family to death.” This is not all, she is still a slight smile to the officer explained: “Mr. Zheng is the House of Qing guest, but I heard that some years ago also did your master’s criminal master, write the paper should be no problem.”
Serviceman thought, this is not where to scare Guo family tired Guo family engaged in, obviously ready to scare the Kyoto Household tired Kyoto Household, can not help but beg for forgiveness: “Mrs., you have spared the little one, this matter …… really we also have no way ah.”
After a long speech, Liu’s mouth felt a little dry, reached out to the end of the cup of tea, but found that Fan Xian has been smiling with a cup of tea handed over, the two eyes touched, and quickly separated.
The officer spread his hands out and said, “Then what do you say?”
Liu’s briefly pondered, knowing that there had to be an end to this matter, and that it wasn’t a good idea to keep spending time here, and said, “There’s no such thing as hitting someone.”
Fan Xian added, “There is no such thing.”
Liu added, “I don’t really understand why the Guo family would wrong our family.”
Fan Xian made a show of contemplation, “A few days ago, there was some conflict in a restaurant, and that Guo gentleman suffered some small losses, so it was my fault.”
Liu was surprised, “There is such a thing? That would be your fault, but …… could it be that Mr. Guo held a grudge because of this, so he came to falsely accuse you?”
Fan Xian frowned and responded, “Probably so.”
