Chapter 37: Twists and Turns

Fang Zhenpu was very shocked to learn that King Nan Cheng asked to see him, he had seen the difficulties of King Nan Cheng, so he didn't want to meet him, so he refused to meet him on the grounds that he was not at home. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

King Nancheng was furious, he had always been arrogant and tyrannical, how could he stand such treatment? Therefore, regardless of whether Fang Zhenpu was really not at home or not, he immediately rushed in with his troops.

The Fang family was helpless and angry when they saw that King Nancheng dared to break in, and in order to defend themselves, Fang Zhenpu had no choice but to allow his subordinates to make a move.

In the scuffle, one of Fang Zhenpu's disciples stabbed King Nan Cheng in the heart, and King Nan Cheng immediately fell to the ground, vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood and losing his breath after kicking his legs.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces turned pale with fright.

A dignified prince of Zhaoguo died here, and he died under the knife of his own disciple, Fang Zhenpu knew how serious the consequences were. However, who can deny that this is not the work of King Nancheng himself?

Fang Zhenpu thought for a moment, and then gathered his wife Gu Bainiang, younger brother Fang Zhenzhong, sister Fang Ruxuan and eighteen disciples together, and said, "I'm afraid that the imperial court will not give up on this matter, and I plan to go to Beijing to see Your Majesty in person." ”

He didn't want his family to be implicated in it.

He also knew that the disciple did not intentionally kill King Nancheng, but someone had to explain these details, otherwise it would be difficult for outsiders to know.

"Husband, how can you fight them with one mouth? Let's go with you. Gu Bainiang hurriedly took a few steps forward and said.

Anyway, he has to die and die together, and she wants to live together, and she doesn't want him to bear it alone.

Fang Zhenpu shook his head resolutely and said, "It's more dangerous for everyone to go." ”

He didn't want the Fang family to be wiped out because of this. At that time, Fang Zhaoheng, the only son of him and Gu Bainiang, was only two years old.

Gu Bainiang insisted: "Then I'll go with you, and I'll hand Heng'er over to my mother to take care of." ”

Fang Zhenpu's face suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Heng'er is still too young to leave you." ”

Seeing that she was so sad that she was about to cry, he couldn't help but soften, and slowed down his tone and said, "I promise you, I will protect myself." ”

But after all, it was a prince who died, how could Gu Bainiang not worry about Fang Zhenpu's safety? Therefore, although she agreed on the surface, she secretly greeted her acquaintances in the capital through letters, asking them to take care of them at that time. That's an afterword.

The people brought by King Nancheng saw that Fang Zhenpu's attitude towards this matter was not bad, so they dispelled the idea of continuing the confrontation, but they were afraid that King Nancheng's death would involve them, so they immediately fled after learning that King Nancheng was dead, so in the end, only more than 20 people remained with King Nancheng.

Fang Zhenpu asked them to go to Beijing with him tomorrow.

That night, Fang Zhenpu arranged for a carriage to place the body of King Nancheng, and found a monk to chant for him, and he was busy until late at night before returning to the room to rest.

That night, Fang Zhaoheng, who was only two years old, seemed to realize something, and lay on Fang Zhenpu's body all night and refused to leave.

Thinking that his life and death were uncertain, Fang Zhenpu said to Gu Bainiang: "If my situation in the capital is not good, you will immediately take everyone to Meteor Village." ”

Located on the southwestern border of the Zhao Kingdom, Meteor Village is composed of five pillar-shaped peaks connected at the bottom, which stand majestically like axes and knives, and at the foot of the mountain are covered by a raging river and a labyrinth of stone caves, so it is only necessary to send people to guard the entrance at the foot of the mountain to ensure the safety of the entire village.

This place was inhabited by bandits more than 200 years ago, and there are still stone houses built at that time on the stockade. Three years ago, Zhenpu happened to pass by here and learned about such a place.

At that time, he developed a wonderful affinity for the place.

Now, at last, he understood what kind of intimacy had been foreshadowed.

Gu Eighteen Nian hugged him tightly, tears streaming down his face.

The next day, Fang Zhenpu took the body of the king of Nancheng and set off for the capital.

Three days and three nights later, Fang Zhenpu arrived in the capital and met Emperor Zhuang Huai in person.

Before Fang Zhenpu arrived in Beijing, Emperor Zhuang Huai had already received Fang Zhenpu's letter and knew the general situation of the matter, so after listening to Fang Zhenpu's detailed explanation, he said: "I know about this matter, but after all, it is a dead person, and I need to give everyone an explanation, so I have to let the three divisions intervene in the investigation, and then deal with it after the three divisions have completed the investigation." ”

That is to say, it means to go through the judicial process.

Fang Zhenpu is a person who practices martial arts, and he has always liked to simplify his actions, but he also knew that the identity of the person who died this time was extraordinary, and it was impossible for the emperor to end it hastily, so he had to force it and nod impatiently.

Emperor Zhuang Huai ordered Fang Zhenpu to be imprisoned in the Yonglan Pavilion located in the northeast corner of the palace, and sent Jinyi guards to guard it closely.

Obviously, Emperor Zhuang Huai still remembered Fang Zhenpu's life-saving grace, so he did not detain Fang Zhenpu in a prison cell.

Fang Zhenpu knew that Emperor Zhuang Huai was a wise monarch and believed that he would handle the matter fairly, so he waited for the three divisions to intervene to investigate.

The next morning, Emperor Zhuang Huai told the ministers about it, and the palace was in an uproar for a while.

Pei Arc, Jin Deng, and Wang Daoqiang were overjoyed when they heard thisβ€”they finally seized the opportunity to deal with Fang Zhenpu.

So, the three of them didn't say anything in the court, but immediately after going down to the court, they met with Concubine Guo, the mother of the king of Nancheng, and asked Concubine Guo to come forward to seek justice for the king of Nancheng.

This Concubine Guo was already uncomfortable when she learned the news of her son's death, and coupled with the instigation of the three of them, she refused to forgive Fang Zhenpu even more, so she secretly met her two elder brothers (the founding heroes of the country) on the same day, and asked them to help advise Emperor Zhuang Huai.

So, in the evening of the same day, these two founding heroes wrote an emotional letter to Emperor Zhuang Huai, asking Emperor Zhuang Huai to severely punish Fang Zhenpu.

Emperor Zhuang Huai did not respond too much on the grounds that Fang Zhenpu's subordinates were justified in self-defense, and the three divisions had not yet completed the investigation and it was inconvenient to make a decision.

These two people went to buy off the prefect of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple through the golden lantern of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that the three divisions had the same opinion on the case.

Three days later, the three divisions gave the results of the investigation - a processed result that reversed the black and white.

The situation was suddenly extremely unfavorable to Fang Zhenpu.

Fang Zhenpu didn't expect that Zhaoguo's highest law enforcement agency would act in a way that did not follow the facts, and he immediately felt extremely disappointed and angry, he was not convinced, and strongly requested a review.

Emperor Zhuang Huaidi agreed to personally try the case the next morning.

However, on the same night, Emperor Zhuang Huai received the news that Fang Zhenpu had hanged himself in the bedroom of Yonglan Pavilion.

Jiang Wei (Jiang Chuanxiong's father), who was the first assistant to the cabinet at the time, thought that Fang Zhenpu's death was very strange, so he asked Emperor Zhuang Huai to allow him to investigate himself.
