While walking on the road, Fang Zheng thought about it. He had done it several times in the entire Hua Dynasty, and he was the only one who had the courage to beat up the current Minister of Civil Affairs. Thinking of this, he felt both proud and worried. Pan Shangshu knew about this.
, how will you deal with him? This kind of veteran minister who has been in the court for decades, is treacherous and holds great power. It should not be difficult to deal with him, a small fifth-rank official. Pan Shangshu will use all his methods.
What means?
Shaking his head, this issue is too complicated. With Fang Zheng's temperament, how can he think about it carefully? The soldiers will stop him.
Back at Ruyuzhai, the female customers in the store had been scared away by the incident just now, and the whole store was empty. When Fang Zheng saw this, he was secretly angry: I beat that boy too lightly just now, and ruined my property, young master.
Lu, this kind of behavior is simply more rebellious than rebellion. I will have to make amends for you someday, young master.
The three of them went straight into the backyard, and Fang Zheng said softly to Yanran, "Didn't I scare you?"
Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said nothing.
Sister Feng turned around and went back to the house. The weather was hot, she had been walking around outside, and she was sweating all over. Naturally, she had to change clothes.
There were only two people in the courtyard, Fang Zheng and Yanran.
"Husband, will you be in trouble today?" Yanran looked at Fang Zheng worriedly. Her husband had offended the most powerful official in the dynasty. If Pan Shangshu took revenge, what would her husband do?
"It's okay." Fang Zheng smiled nonchalantly, "The perpetrators of evil are arrogant, but the victims are frightened. There is no such thing in the world. I dare to file a lawsuit even in the Jinluan Palace!" Young Master Fang said these words with incomparable boldness, as if he was a mountain.
Shi Gandang looked like one. It's just that he seemed to have forgotten who was the perpetrator and who was the victim. This matter still needs to be discussed separately.
At this time, Sister Feng hurriedly walked out of the wing room, with a blush on her pretty face for some reason. Her expression was quite strange, seeming panic and anxious. After she came out, she looked at Fang Zheng, her red lips trembled, and she wanted to speak several times, but she couldn't.
stop.
Fang Zheng blinked: "Sister Feng, what's wrong? Huh? Your face is red. Are you sneaking into the house to drink?"
Sister Feng stamped her feet and ignored Fang Zheng, but pulled Yanran aside, and the two girls chatted quietly.
Fang Zheng said dissatisfied: "What's going on? It's so shameful..."
After a while, Yanran came over with a shy expression and hesitated: "...Sister Feng, she...she lost something..."
"What is it? Money? Or an account book?" Fang Zheng began to care. He couldn't help but care about money-related things.
Yanran shook her head and said: "It's not... it's... Oops! You don't understand even after I told you..." After saying this, Yanran turned around and started to murmur to Sister Feng again.
Did these two women eat dirty food? Fang Zheng snorted in dissatisfaction and looked up at the sky. Summer is here, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Jinling City is like a huge furnace. Ancient people also paid attention to etiquette and so on.
It made Fang Zheng feel embarrassed even if he wanted to go shirtless and enjoy the cool air.
Taking out a handkerchief and wiping his sweat, Fang Zheng looked at the well in the courtyard and came up with an idea. The ground water was cold, and when it fell on his body, it should be able to cool down the heat. How about a bucket of it? Do you want to get the female relatives away first?
——Actually, it doesn’t matter if they insist on leaving. Anyway, young master, I’m not afraid of being looked at by women when I take a shower. At worst, I’ll look back when they take a shower...
"What do you have in your hand?" Sister Feng suddenly appeared behind him.
"Huh?" Fang Zheng was stunned, "Oh, Sister Feng, you want to wipe your sweat too? Take it, don't be polite to me." He said and handed the handkerchief to Sister Feng.
Sister Feng took it, unfolded the "handkerchief", took a look at it, and immediately put it away quickly. Her face turned red and white for a while, and the shame and anger in her eyes alternated, which was wonderful.
Fang Zheng looked dumbfounded: "Sister Feng, are you okay? What's wrong?" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to touch Sister Feng's forehead.
Sister Feng seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Are you using this thing to wipe your sweat?" As she said this, she raised the object in her hand and shook it towards Fang Zheng, her tone full of chill.
Fang Zheng looked at it carefully and saw that it was bright red in color and fragrant. There was also a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on it, which was exactly the woman's bellyband.
Broken! Got the wrong thing!
Fang Zheng was shocked and said: "Huh? What is this?"
Sister Feng sneered: "Master Fang, don't you know what this is? I also want to ask you, how come you have this thing on your body?"
There was an incident in the store at that time. Fang Zheng was so anxious that he stuffed Sister Feng's bellyband into his arms and ran towards the store. Of course, Fang Zheng couldn't forget it. It's really strange. Why did he take it out to wipe his sweat just now? It's incomprehensible.
ah…….
Fang Zheng blinked innocently, with a pure expression on his face: "Sister Feng, what is the use of this thing with such a bright color?"
Sister Feng's face changed, and she jumped up like an enraged little lioness, biting her silver teeth and twisting Fang Zheng's ears hard, and said angrily: "You are still pretending! You deceiver! Such a thing
Is it something you can touch? See if I don’t twist you to death!”
Fang Zheng shouted in pain: "Yanran... Madam! Help!"
Yanran was heartbroken and hurriedly grabbed Sister Feng and said: "Sister Feng, please let go first, and say what you have to say..."
Sister Feng let go of her hand and raised her eyebrows in anger: "What else are you talking about! Look at the dirty things your husband has done!"
Fang Zheng screamed when he heard this and said: "Sister Feng, I really don't know what that thing is. If I wanted to know, would I dare to take it out in front of you?"
Sister Feng said angrily: "You are still making excuses! Tell me! How did this thing get on your body?"
"I thought it was the scraps of cloth left over when you were cutting clothes, so I wanted to take it home, change it, and use it as a handkerchief. Sister Feng, you know that I have always been a frugal person..." Fang Zheng said innocently, blinking his eyes.
"..." The two women were speechless. They could think of such shameless excuses, what else could they say?
In the end, Fang Zheng left Ruyuzhai in embarrassment after being violently expelled by Sister Feng. As for that bellyband...well, Young Master Fang doesn't know where it went anyway.
He had to go to court tomorrow, and Fang Zheng had to go home to prepare, so he ordered the nursing staff to escort Yanran back to the other courtyard. With Yanran's reluctant eyes, Fang Zheng returned home alone.
The next day, Fang Zheng finally got up listlessly under Xiao Lu's constant urging. The wonderful two days of vacation were over, and today it was time to go to court. When he looked up, he saw the sky full of stars and the moon hanging high.
, Fang Zheng sighed heavily. For the first time in his life, he had the idea of changing this era. It didn't matter anything else. He must find a way to correct the shortcomings of going to court in the middle of the night. Unless the emperor showed mercy and allowed him not to go.
toward.
After putting on his imperial robe and official hat, and wearing his imperial badge, Fang Zheng got on the carriage, yawning all the way.
This time, the guards of Fang Mansion were very low-key, with only five or six people accompanying them as guards. Xiao Wu still walked behind Fang Zheng with his head held high and his chest held high. The group soon arrived at the west gate of the Forbidden Palace.
Fang Zheng straightened his clothes, and Shi Shiran walked in. When he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there was the sound of clappers, not too much, not too little, which happened to be the Yin hour. Young Master Fang went to court with a little pinch, which can be said to be a model of punctuality.
The ministers had been waiting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time. When they saw Fang Zheng arriving, they all held their hands. Fang Zheng's face was full of smiles. Before he could even say a few words as he walked forward, a small yellow doorman held a whisk in his hand and whispered softly: "
The emperor went to court, and all the officials came to see him——"
The ministers looked solemn and lined up according to their official rank. Civil and military officials came in one after another. Fang Zheng followed the officials at the end. Anyway, he was the youngest no matter how he calculated it.
Entering the main hall, the emperor had not arrived yet. Fang Zheng was quick, and regardless of the stunned looks of other ministers, he rushed forward and firmly occupied the Feng Shui treasure place next to the big pillar. This is a good place, and we will be there soon.
I hope I can sleep on it.
Not long after, the emperor arrived. More than a thousand Forbidden Army sergeants and Huangmen palace maids marched in dragon chariots. After entering the back of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a small Huangmen man stood forward, waved his whisk lightly, and shouted loudly:
"The emperor comes to court, and all the officials are present -"
All the ministers bowed down and kowtowed, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live -"
The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, said in a calm tone: "Everyone loves you."
The ministers thanked each other and stood up. Then a young man from Huangmen shouted loudly: "If you have the power, you will play early, if you don't have the power, you will withdraw from the court -"
After the whole procedure was completed, Fang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about the rest of the matter and slept against the pillar.
Fang Zheng had just closed his eyes when he heard an old voice saying with sadness and anger: "I have something to report to the Emperor."
The emperor smiled and said: "If Pan Shangshu needs anything, just come to me."
Pan Shangshu said angrily: "Old minister informed the newly promoted Zhongyong Bo, You Sanqi Chang Shi Fang Zheng, yesterday he committed an attack in the downtown area, beating innocent people, and severely injured Pan Tao, the old minister's dog, and almost died, but the perpetrator is still alive today.
With impunity, I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me!"
When these words were spoken, the court immediately exploded. Pan Shangshu named Fang Zheng and pointed the finger at Fang Zheng. Everyone knew that this young minister had only been an official for a few days, so how could he be so ignorant that he actually beat him up?
The son of the current minister? Could this be true? Could it be that Lord Pan saw Fang Zheng showing off his talents and stealing the emperor's favor, so he maliciously framed him?
Of course, Young Master Fang couldn't sleep either. He didn't expect that this old guy named Pan would be so shameless. He would bring up trivial matters to the court. This was the same as when he was a kid and lost a fight and complained to the teacher.
What's the difference in behavior? The old guy is already seventy or eighty years old, why is his character so bad?
Facing the surprised gazes of the ministers, Fang Zheng made an innocent expression. At the same time, he lowered his head and curled the corners of his mouth, looking very aggrieved. - Since you have a bad character, don't blame your brother for cheating.
Looking at Pan Shangshu's sinister sneer, and then looking at Fang Zheng's innocent and aggrieved look, the ministers came to a conclusion in their minds. It was probably Lord Pan who thought that this young minister, the Holy Family Tailong, was in danger of replacing him, so Lord Pan
So he deliberately framed and suppressed him. Alas, Mr. Fang is so pitiful!
Things in the officialdom are so subtle. Under preconceived notions, sometimes what is true can become false, and what is false can become true. Pan Shangshu didn’t know it at this time, but almost all the ministers thought that he was
When Fang Zheng was framed, many upright officials were even aggrieved by Fang Zheng.
"Fang Zheng, is what Pan Shangshu said true?" The emperor was neither surprised nor angry, and his tone was as calm as ever.
Fang Zheng had been waiting for the emperor's words for a long time. Hearing the words, he rushed out and before he could stop, he knelt down with a plop. Due to the inertia, his knees slid far away along the smooth gold tile floor in the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am... unjustly accused!" Fang Zheng squeezed for a long time but couldn't squeeze out any tears of "grievance", so he had to lay his head deeply on the floor and said in a tearful tone.

I looked first, and then I continued to type... It was broad daylight, and when I looked up I saw the stars... I was so tired! I was so tired that I only had one word left: tired!
