Chapter 135 This is absolutely slander

"Father, Fan Xian is missing."

As soon as Versace sat down, he spoke to Fan Jian beside him.

"What did you say?" Fan Jian looked at Versace expressionlessly.

Versace was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Fan... No, my brother is missing."

"I just went to check on my eldest brother's room, but I didn't see him."

"Besides, his bedding was unused and the bed was cold. It was obvious that he had been gone since last night."

Fan Jian frowned slightly and asked with a puzzled look: "He wasn't in the room last night?"

"Strange, if you don't sleep in your room at night, where would you go?"

Versace said, "Father, maybe my brother went out to meet his lover."

"Or maybe he went to the 'Nuanchunlou' on the street to find a girl for pleasure. I heard from others that a new group of beauties have come there recently, and their service attitude is..."

Versace had just said half of his words when he found someone stepped on his left foot. He looked down and found that it was his sister who did it.

At this moment, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately picked up his bowl and chopsticks and said:
"Heh...heh, I...I was just talking nonsense."

Fan Jian glanced at Versace, but didn't argue with him. Instead, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and said:

"Forget it, let's eat first."

"Maybe he will be back soon."

Then, everyone started to eat.

Just when Fan Jian had taken a few bites of rice, a servant came in from outside the hall and said:
"Master, there is a guest outside who wants to see you."

"Guests?" Fan Jian asked curiously, "What guests?"

The reason why Fan Jian felt curious was that normally no one would go to visit someone else's home so early in the morning.

Unless there is something special.

The servant replied, "The man didn't say anything. He gave me a letter and said it was for you, and then he left."

As he spoke, the servant took out an ordinary envelope from his arms and handed it to Fan Jian.

Fan Jian reached out to take the envelope, opened it, and began to look at the contents inside.

There were only four small words written on the letter paper: "Something happened to Fan Xian"!
Fan Jian recognized the handwriting, then folded the letter and put it in his sleeve.

Then, Fan Jian waved to the servant and said, "Okay, I already know about this matter, you can go down."

After the servant left, Fan Jian picked up his bowl and chopsticks again and said, "It's okay, everyone continue eating."

Seeing this, the others didn't dare to say anything and continued to eat.

After a while.
Fan Jian finished the rice in his bowl, stood up immediately and said, "I'm done, you guys take your time."

As he spoke, he slowly walked out of the hall and headed towards the door.

At this time, Versace looked at Fan Jian's departing back and said to Fan Ruoruo:

"Sister, guess what our father is doing?"

"The person who just delivered the letter to my father must be no ordinary person. Maybe something big happened here."

However, Fan Ruoruo disagreed and said, "Don't think too much. It won't be a big deal."

"It's probably a minister in the court who wants to see father on official business."

"Hehe, I don't think so." Versace smiled and said, "How could I bother my father with business so early in the morning?"

"Hey, do you think it might be because of Fan Xian's matter?"

"He should stop getting into trouble outside and let his father clean up the mess."

Fan Ruoruo glared at Fan Sizhe and said, "Shut up, can't you just wish for the best for your brother?"

"Hurry up and eat. If you keep talking nonsense, go kneel outside."

"I..." After seeing Fan Ruoruo's expression, Versace immediately wilted. He lowered his head and muttered to himself:
"I just know how to bully people."

"Huh, I'm ignoring you."

After Fan Ruoruo glanced at Fansace, she said nothing more and started eating.

However, she was puzzled in her heart. Why didn't her elder brother stay in the room last night?

Even if I were going out, I should have told her. Why now...

Maybe, my brother just went out to do something and will be back soon.

Thinking of this, Fan Ruoruo felt a little comforted.

……

Supervisory Commission, Chen Pingping’s bedroom.

Wuzhu, like he did last night, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall.

He was waiting for news from Chen Pingping.

However, after waiting for a whole night, Chen Pingping still did not come back.

Wu Zhu knew that Fan Xian was arrested last night and there must have been some serious problems.

Otherwise, Chen Pingping would never have been away for so long.

Wu Zhu had already made up his mind. He would wait for another hour. If Chen Pingping had not returned, he would go to the palace to investigate himself.

No matter how great the risk, he must take Fan Xian away.

At this moment, the door that was originally closed was suddenly opened.

Chen Pingping, dressed in black, came into the room in an iron wheelchair.

After he closed the door, Wu Zhu immediately stood up and asked:

"How is it? Has Fan Xian been arrested?"

However, Chen Pingping glanced at Wuzhu and did not say anything, with a gloomy look on his face.

Wu Zhu saw that Chen Pingping did not answer, so he continued to ask: "Speak!"

"what happened?"

Chen Pingping turned his wheelchair around so that he was facing Wu Zhu, and then he spoke:

"Tell me, what did you do when you entered the palace last night?"

"I want to know the real answer."

Wu Zhu said, "We entered the palace last night just to hang out."

With a 'slap' sound, Chen Pingping raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the wheelchair. His expression instantly became ferocious and he roared:
"Why are you still lying to me now?"

"News has come from the palace that Fan Xian entered the palace last night, intending to assassinate the Queen Mother, but was caught on the spot by the guards. He is now being taken to the death row, awaiting his fate."

"Is he crazy? Why would he enter the palace to assassinate the Queen Mother? This is a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!"

"Also, why did he kill the prince!"

Wu Zhu said: "Fan Xian did not try to assassinate the Queen Mother, nor did he kill the Crown Prince. Someone must have framed him."

"Since Fan Xian is now imprisoned in the death row, I will go there immediately and take him away."

Chen Pingping was surprised and asked: "Wuzhu, are you crazy?"

"That's the death row, not an ordinary place where you can come and go as you please."

"Besides, if you really take him away, wouldn't that confirm his guilt?"

Wu Zhu said: "Then what should we do?"

Chen Pingping sighed and said, "Tell me first, what did Fan Xian do when he entered the palace yesterday?"

"If he was slandered, we just need to find evidence to prove his innocence."

Wu Zhu said, "We entered the palace last night just to find something."

"Other than that, there is nothing else."

Chen Pingping pondered for a moment and said, "So someone deliberately framed him?"

"Forget it. I have already sent someone to invite the Minister of Revenue."

"We'll discuss this matter after he comes over."
