Chapter 68 Blood splatters in Kyoto Prefecture! Fan Xian is imprisoned! (35)

Kyoto government office.

The entrance was already crowded with people who came to watch the fun. Fan Xian got off the carriage amid the pointing and talking of the crowd.

"Fan Xian is here, this is Si Nanbo's illegitimate son!"

"I just heard that he was walking on the street with several women..."

"No, now two girls are here to complain!"

"It is said that among those women, several were maids around Fan Xian. They were having fun together and helped to bully others!"

"What! This is too lawless!"

Fan Xian was really overwhelmed. How could such a thing happen just after entering the city?

After being attacked, they were reported to Kyoto Prefecture so quickly. This must have been planned in advance!

Fan Xian was nervous, not knowing whether his father, whom he had never met, would help him.

When they walked into the Kyoto government office, they saw two young women crying their hearts out and a few onlookers.

At this time, a bystander was talking.

"Sir, I saw an older woman holding down the girl's hands and feet..."

Fan Xian was stunned. He was being held down by several maids, so how could he speak the opposite way?

The female official who was leading the group was in her thirties and her cultivation level was comparable to his. The other women who attacked him were also of the seventh rank.

Could it be that while they were attacking me, they still had time to put on a show nearby?

These people in the hall were obviously the ones who had been watching from the sidelines, and they spoke very convincingly.

The two women who were the plaintiffs definitely framed him intentionally, but it is hard to say what about the onlookers.

After all, what people see is not necessarily true.

Seeing Fan Xian coming in, Mei Zhili slammed the gavel and asked, "Is the person in the hall Fan Xian?"

Fan Xian was pushed into the hall by several yamen runners. He bowed and said, "Sir, I am Fan Xian."

The chief of the yamen runners pushed Fan Xian and said, "Since you are a commoner, why don't you kneel?"

Fan Xian touched the badge of the Commissioner in his arms but refused to kneel.

As a time traveler, he really doesn't want to kneel down here and there.

Mei Zhili was very smart. When he saw Fan Xian's little trick, he thought of Fan Xian's identity.

"It's okay, just stand there and answer."

Then, the clerk read out in class what the two plaintiffs had accused him of.

After reading it, Fan Xian cupped his hands and said, "Sir, these two women are definitely making false accusations. It was clearly them who violated the common people!"

"I was just sitting quietly in the car, and these women suddenly rushed over to me in scantily clad clothes, and even kissed and hugged me in public!"

When Fan Xian said this, the people watching outside the hall began to boo.

"There is such a good thing in the world. Fan Xian is really exaggerating!"

"What woman would be willing to use her reputation to harm others? Just admit it if you did it!"

"That's right, as a big household, you have to be responsible for what you have done!"

There were discussions everywhere, and Mei Zhili slammed the gavel, "Silence! Silence!"

After the gavel was banged, the two female plaintiffs rushed towards Fan Xian like crazy.

"Fan Xian, you are completely devoid of conscience. Are you saying that we are using our bodies and reputations to frame you?"

"The Fan family is so rich and powerful, can they really cover the sky with one hand?"

"Fan Xian...you will not die well!"

Fan Xian stepped back in fear. How could these two people be so crazy?

Those women really used their own reputations to frame Fan Xian. That's the truth!

"You are disgracing yourselves, wearing revealing clothes, and you don't care about your reputation. What does it have to do with me?"

Fan Xian was really angry. You framed others and even filed the complaint first.

At this time, the two plaintiffs cried even harder, and each of them wished they could eat Fan Xian.

"Fan Xian, you beast!"

As one of the plaintiffs was speaking, he rushed towards Fan Xian like a madman, and the two yamen runners couldn't stop him.

Fan Xian dodged subconsciously, "Mad man!"

"Oh!"

The woman's head hit the pillar of Kyoto Prefecture directly!

Suddenly, red and white things scattered all over the ground, and blood flowed into a pool!
The sudden change scared the people, and even more so Fan Xian!

He thought that the two women just took some money and then framed him.

This matter should not be difficult to investigate. Moreover, there were imperial guards nearby at the time. If we investigate carefully, we will definitely be able to find out the truth.

However, now that the plaintiff has been killed in court, what good is it to investigate it clearly!

Fan Xian suddenly felt a chill on his back!

Someone is using a woman's reputation and life to ruin his name!
This is a living life!

How could Fan Xian now know the true meaning of the word "death warrior"?

Sure enough, as soon as the plaintiff died, the onlookers were instantly in an uproar.

"What a heroic woman! Fan Xian, do you have any conscience?"

"How could such a heartless person exist in Si Nanbo's mansion, a family of scholars?"

"This is risking my own life. I must sue Fan Xian!"

At this time, Mei Zhili was also sweating profusely on his back. Someone had died in class. This was a serious disaster!
"This case is suspicious and of great importance. This government has decided to hold a closed court for trial!"

With the slam of the gavel, the bailiffs pushed the surging people out of the Kyoto Prefecture compound step by step.

At this moment, a report came from outside the door.

"Stay away, everyone!"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived!"

Prince Yong's Mansion.

Li Changan sat cross-legged in the practice room, with a faint red glow around him.

This is the state of the Red Level Buddha in the third week of the Yi Jin Jing. The pores all over the body greedily absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth.

The vital energy enters the meridians and then spreads into the flesh and blood. The meridians and flesh and blood are washed again and again, emitting a faint yellow light. The fourth-level yellow-level pagoda is taking shape.

Ordinary warriors can only store true energy in the meridians throughout their bodies.

If Li Changan cultivates to become a yellow-level pagoda, every acupoint in his body will be able to store true qi, and the capacity of true qi in his body will then expand dozens of times!
Increasing the capacity of true Qi in the body is the only way for Li Changan to break through to the level of Grandmaster.

The process of reshaping the meridians and physical body is extremely painful and arduous, and the practice time cannot exceed three hours a day.

Li Changan finished today's training and called in Jingwei and Wang Qinian who were waiting at the door.

Name: Wang Qinian
Age: 32 years old

Realm: Ninth Rank Lower
Talents: Tracking (9th rank), Geomancy (8th rank), Espionage (7th rank)

Abilities: Tracking (9th rank), Geomancy (9th rank), Espionage (8th rank), Performance (6th rank), Socializing (6th rank)

Sentiment: 100 (die-hard)
After the civil engineering project of Hulong Villa was completed, Li Changan transferred him back.

Lao Wang's ninth rank is public knowledge, and everyone in the capital who has some eyes and ears knows that the Inspection Institute has secretly tried to win him over many times.

However, Wang Qinian, who earns 3,000 taels a year, has long been tied to Li Changan, and the Inspection Office cannot win him over. Even if Wang is offered a position as the director of the department, he will not take it.

He has been temporarily managing Luowang in the past few years, and his intelligence ability has soared to the eighth level, making him the top talent in Li Changan's hands.

In his first year of temporarily managing Luowang, he was surprised to find that Miss Gao was actually a core member of Luowang.

So he took advantage of his position to marry Miss Gao and they had a daughter named Baba.

Mrs. Wang never knew that the husband whom she slapped in the face and twisted in the ears every day was actually her immediate superior.

Jingwei reported what happened near the Qing Temple, and Wang Qinian talked about the situation in Kyoto Prefecture.

"Your Highness, one of the two women who sued Fan Xian was killed in court!"

"Mei Zhili is currently in court trying a case. The Second Prince has already rushed over, and the Crown Prince is also on his way."

After hearing this, Jing Wei said in surprise, "A single Fan Xian has actually affected so many people."

"The emperor summoned him personally, the eldest princess arranged the matter personally, the crown prince helped, and there was also the second prince who messed up the situation."

Li Changan pondered and said, "Li Yunrui must have received some information, so he changed his complaint into a redress of his grievances with his life."

"This woman is a lunatic. There are too many strange things about this case. It won't be easy to try it."

Wang Qinian asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Li Changan smiled calmly, "No need. Now that the victim has died in court, no matter how the verdict is, Fan Xian's reputation will never be cleared."

"Your Majesty will not allow Fan Xian to be convicted of a serious crime, but the Crown Prince and Li Yunrui will both be severely punished and have their wings clipped."

"The court is too chaotic right now. Let's wait and see what happens. Developing ourselves is the most important thing."

Kyoto government office.

A man in green clothes and with a strange lock of hair walked in slowly.

Mei Zhili, along with all the officials, big and small, knelt down in the hall, only Fan Xian stood there stupidly.

The second prince didn't even care and just waved his hand casually to ask everyone to stand up.

"Prefect Mei, have someone dispose of the body of that assassin. It's an eyesore."

Mei Zhili ordered his men to collect the bodies while saying, "Dead warriors... Second Prince, where did you get this from?"

The Second Prince sat next to Mei Zhili and said, "Nothing, just try your case, I'm just here to listen."

"But Kyoto is a city of mixed people, so don't wrongly accuse a good person."

Fan Xian is going to Beijing to get married and take over the inner treasury, which means he will be the enemy of the prince and princess.

The second prince, who is competing for power with the crown prince, will of course unite the enemy of his enemy.

Emperor Qing was so determined to grant the marriage that even the objections from Chen Pingping and Li Yunrui were ineffective. Li Chengze could certainly feel the importance of Fan Xian.

Fan Xian now has no idea of ​​the situation, and then a prince comes and seems to be helping him.

Mei Zhili sat down again and said to the plaintiff, "Please tell us clearly about your identity and where you live."

Of course he understood the second prince's hint. There was something wrong with the identities of these two women!

However, just as the woman opened her mouth, another report came from outside the door.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Mei Zhili, who hadn't even sat down for a while, stood up again and knelt on the ground with a group of people.

The prince walked into the hall with a cold face. When he saw Fan Xian standing there without kneeling, he pretended not to see him.

He knew that Fan Xian had the badge of the Chief of the Inspection Institute, which was directly managed by Emperor Qing. The Chief was in a high position with great power, so he would not kneel.

However, Fan Xian doesn't know about this yet.

He didn't kneel, just out of the instinct of a time traveler who was not used to kneeling.

At this moment, Fan Xian discovered a very funny scene.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince sat on either side of Mei Zhili, making him feel very uncomfortable being sandwiched in the middle.

The prince was resolute, “The plaintiff’s statement in this case was clear and the evidence was solid.

"Molesting someone in public and destroying their innocence, Mei Fuyin should quickly convict Fan Xian!"

The second prince said, "Your Highness, what you said is different!

How can someone insult a woman in public? Is there a normal person who would do this? There must be something else going on in this case!"

The prince said angrily, "Second Brother, you are confused! It is precisely because Fan Xian is dissolute and shameless that he would do such a heinous thing!"

"Someone has died. If we don't convict Fan Xian as soon as possible, how can we explain this to the world?"

Li Chengze didn't buy it at all. "It's unusual for a weak woman to break free from two yamen runners and hit their heads against the pillars. This case is very strange."

The two quarreled for a few more words, and Mei Zhili suddenly walked to the hall and knelt down in front of the two princes.

"Your Highnesses, this is a judicial case in Kyoto Prefecture and has nothing to do with you. Please step aside!"

Mei Zhili was not stupid. Now he understood the meaning of what Jingwei said last night.

Those words were meant to remind him that Emperor Qing would not allow royal family members to interfere in Kyoto Prefecture, and that he had violated a taboo by making friends with the crown prince.

Today's incident is the last chance to show loyalty to Emperor Qing and sever ties with the Crown Prince in order to save his life.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were both a little stunned. Mei Zhili, the good-natured man who always gets along with everyone, turned out to be so tough!

Especially the prince, he looked unfriendly!

Just before he arrived, the palace returned the paintings he had sent and even tore up several treasures with his own hands!
Is Mei Zhili, the man in front of me, also going to distance himself from me now? What is going on?

Fan Xian was even more confused. Everything was directed at him, but the whole game had nothing to do with him!
The water in Kyoto City is too deep. Why don’t we go back to Danzhou?
The prince said sternly, "Mei Zhili, do you know what you are saying?"

Mei Zhili's face was already covered in sweat, but he had already struggled in his heart just now and now there was no way out.

Apart from anything else, the female assassin last night could take his life at any time.

Such a high level of cultivation is probably around the ninth level, which is not something that ordinary people can use.

In fact, he was basically certain that the other party was from the inner court.

"I am an old minister, Mei Zhili, who is deeply favored by the emperor and in charge of the key points of the capital. Your Highnesses, please do not embarrass me!"

"If the two princes still don't step aside..."

The prince was instantly furious, and said sternly, "I won't evade you, can you still send someone to arrest me?"

"Mei Zhili, are you getting old and confused? I'll give you one more chance!"

"If you have the guts, say it again!"

Mei Zhili knocked his head to the ground and said, "If your two highnesses don't step aside, I will kneel down forever!"

The prince was dumbfounded, totally unable to believe that his own people suddenly became disobedient.

The second prince suddenly laughed, and then whispered to the crown prince, "Let's go, they won't listen to us."

The prince suddenly looked up with a somewhat flustered look in his eyes. The second brother meant that Mei Zhili listened to others.

Then who does this old guy listen to and dare to drive away the two princes...it can only be Emperor Qing!

When the prince thought of Gong Dian’s reaction today, he suddenly felt disappointed. The old man was going to punish him!

After being scolded by the old man, Gong Dian immediately distanced himself from himself. Could it be that Mei Zhili would do the same?

"Ahem! Second brother, we brothers have an appointment today to go to Uncle Yong to eat hotpot. Why are you suddenly here?"

Li Chengze narrowed his eyes and said, "It's all my fault for not clearing the street, causing the prince and I to take the wrong road."

The prince said to Mei Zhili with a smile, "Prefect Mei, please don't misunderstand, we are just passing by."

"We'll leave immediately so as not to delay your trial, hehe!"
