Chapter 120: Problem Solving
In addition to being better at martial arts, the most important thing is to have eyesight, and the hospitality response should be neither humble nor arrogant, which can not only reflect the etiquette and thoughtfulness, but also not lose the majesty of the city lord. So in the past, even if a senior official from Shang Qingfang came to visit, the official who guarded the door could be calm. But today, looking at the official messenger with the pass in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. The reason is very simple, that is, Mu Fan's origin is too big.
Who is the governor of the six districts of the capital? That is the figure equivalent to the emperor of the six districts, the ninety-five supreme above ten thousand people. can get the total pass token issued by him personally, Mu Fan is likely to be a relative of the emperor. In the face of such a character, let alone an official errand, even the city lord himself cannot deal with it calmly.
"Big ...... My lord, can you let the little one go and report first?" asked the official with a little trembling, Bao Yuan had instructed them that the more high-level officials visited, the more they had to think of ways to report first, so that they could be prepared.
Mu Fan didn't care, and nodded slightly. The official gave a salute, turned around and ran into the city lord's mansion with the token.
After about a minute, three figures ran over in an inverted shape. Mu Fan looked up, and at the back was the official who went in to report. There were two people in front of them, a handsome man with slightly thin lips, and a man with a round face who was obese.
When Mu Fan searched on the map before, he had already seen Pan Feng. Using the elimination method, you can know that the fat man who seems to have a snowball on top of a snowball and seems to roll over is the city lord Bao Yuan.
Bao Yuan and Pan Feng looked anxious at this time, and after running in front of Mu Fan, Bao Yuan immediately bent down, sent the pass order to Mu Fan with both hands, and said a little breathlessly: "Xiao ...... The little ones are far away, and they hope that the adults will forgive their sins. ”
Pan Feng next to him also said: "Forgive sins, forgive sins." ”
Mu Fan was slightly surprised, feeling that Bao Yuan and Pan Feng's performance was a bit too much, no matter how to say that the two of them were a city lord, a main city official with a higher official rank than the city lord, and he was even more terrified than the jailer and the official when he saw him. Mu Fan had a hunch, it seemed that the weight of the pass in the sixth district of Xudu was even greater than Mu Fan imagined.
As Mu Fan thought, the jailers and officials could only be regarded as ordinary civil servants, and they did not have a deep understanding of the traffic orders of the six districts of Xudu. But Bao Yuan and Pan Feng are very clear in their hearts. In this capital, the governors of the six districts are only superficial rulers. The real managers are still the great leaders in the Hades Palace. Those people have transcended the six districts and are in charge of the entire capital. The officials of the Sixth District all call them the adults above.
Sometimes, these lords will go to the various cities in each district to inspect them. In order to make it easier for these adults to walk, the governor of each district has introduced a pass, which is the general pass of Xudu. These adults above, even the governors of the six districts of Xudu have to be careful, characters like Bao Yuan and Pan Feng are too late, so they naturally don't dare to slack off.
"Hmm. Mu Fan pretended to be a private interview, and took the token with a soft hum.
Seeing that Mu Fan was not angry because he was waiting outside the door, Bao Yuan and Pan Feng both quietly breathed a sigh of relief, bent their waists deeper, and said respectfully, "My lord, please come in." ”
At this time, Mu Fan had completely put his mind at ease, judging from the attitude of the two of them towards him, it was not a problem to rescue Jiao Xiang at all, and he nodded and took the lead in walking towards the mansion.
Under Bao Yuan's personal guidance, the three of them came to the main hall in the front yard.
"Your Excellency, please take a seat!" Bao Yuan said respectfully.
Mu Fan knew that the more times like this, the more he had to follow along. If he shows his timidity, it will arouse Bao Yuan's suspicions. didn't reply to the words, and sat directly on the main seat.
Pan Feng personally brought the tea and carefully put it in front of Mu Fan, "My lord, please use tea." ”
"Hmm. Mu Fan picked up the teacup, and saw that Bao Yuan and Pan Feng were still standing on both sides, so he waved his hand, deliberately lowered his business and said, "Sit down." ”
"Yes. From Mu Fan's performance and tone, Bao Yuan and Pan Feng couldn't deduce whether Mu Fan was not a good person, and sat down a little nervously. Especially Pan Feng, when he heard the official say that Mu Fan wanted to see him, he was even more apprehensive in his heart.
After taking a sip of tea, Mu Fan didn't speak first.
Pan Feng glanced at Bao Yuan, Bao Yuan knew it in his heart, and asked respectfully: "I don't know if the adult came to the mansion in person, what instructions do you have?"
Mu Fan put down the teacup and said a little casually: "I came here this time, mainly for a lawsuit. ”
"Lawsuit?" Bao Yuan was slightly stunned, with his understanding, most of the adults above came to inspect the construction and management, and they didn't ask about the lawsuit. However, in the next second, Bao Yuan's heart was raised, and he quickly thought about the cases that had happened in Fang City in the recent period of time, and whether he had mishandled them. But after going through it, I didn't expect any big cases that could attract big shots.
"The villain is stupid, I don't know what kind of lawsuit the adult is here for?" Bao Yuan asked softly.
"Lord Pan Feng. Mu Fan didn't answer, but looked up at Pan Feng, "I heard that after you first came to Luxiang City, you personally led people to seal Jiao Xiang's mansion, and arrested Jiao Xiang and his wife, is there such a thing?"
Hearing the words, both of them trembled in their hearts. However, Bao Yuan was a little relieved, Jiao Xiang's case was handled by Pan Feng personally, and he was only an assistant from beginning to end, if something really went wrong, he was not the first to bear it. But Pan Fengke on the side panicked, and hurriedly got up and replied: "Lord Hui, I did receive a reliable report that Jiao Xiang has a lot to do with the smuggler. And in his house, two pieces of contraband were indeed seized. ”
"Really?" Mu Fan said lightly.
"Yes. Pan Feng bowed and replied: "What the whistleblower said is very detailed, and clearly pointed out the identity of the smuggler. ”
"Who?" asked Mu Fan knowingly.
"It is said that Jiao Xiang's new apprentice is named Mu Polang. Pan Feng continued: "According to the law, I have imprisoned Jiao Xiang and his wife in Luxiang Prison, and I am interrogating the origin of Namu Polang for the past two days. ”
"No need to interrogate. Mu Fan stared at Pan Feng and said word by word: "I am Mu Polang, and Jiao Xiang is my master." ”
Mu Fan's words were undoubtedly thunder from the sky, and the fried Bao Yuan was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, Pan Feng was even more frightened, and his feet were so soft that he almost sat down on the ground. The adult in front of him from above was actually Jiao Xiang's apprentice, how could he not make Pan Feng afraid.
"Master Pan, do you think I look like a smuggler?" Mu Fan asked expressionlessly.
"This ...... This, this, this. Pan Feng was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead instantly.
"My lord, if you want to come here, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter. Bao Yuan next to him reacted relatively quickly, got up and said, "It must be the whistleblower, what he said is not true." ”
Hearing Bao Yuan's reminder, Pan Feng finally reacted, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, it must be the whistleblower who framed him, how can an adult be a smuggler." After saying that, Pan Feng began to greet Hu Wei's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart. What's the deal, this guy actually put a basin on the head of a big man like Mu Fan, obviously wanting to die with him.
"Just now Master Pan said that the report he received is very reliable, why, now Lord Pan doesn't believe it?" Mu Fan sneered.
Hearing Mu Fan's sneer, Pan Feng's legs trembled, and he fell directly to the ground. Although he is arrogant and domineering, he treats his subordinates and poor people. At this time, when he heard Mu Fan's unkind tone, he was naturally terrified.
"My lord, although I was not involved in this case, I have heard about it. Bao Yuan first cleared himself, and then said in a serious tone: "I think Master Pan Feng should have been fooled by the whistleblower." ”
"Yes, this matter is indeed a villain's misidentification, and please don't be angry. Pan Feng, who was reminded by Bao Yuan again, quickly put the responsibility on Hu Wei's body, and said tremblingly on the ground: "Please give the villain a quarter of an hour, and I will go and arrest the whistleblower." ”
"No need, I have already found out the cause and effect of the incident, and the whistleblower Hu Wei really wanted to wronged me and Jiao Xiang, and I have already executed him. Mu Fan paused and said, "But you two are also derelict in their duties. ”
Hearing that Hu Wei had been executed by Mu Fan, Bao Yuan and Pan Feng were not angry, but even more frightened. You must know that only Pan Feng himself knows the identity and location of the whistleblower, and even Bao Yuan does not know. But now, Mu Fan was able to find it and kill him without going through the government. What does this mean? It shows that Mu Fan's means and power are extremely great.
This time, even Bao Yuan's legs and stomachs next to him began to twitch, and he hurriedly knelt next to Pan Feng, kowtowed and said, "There is indeed a dereliction of duty, please punish the adult." ”
"Please, please. Pan Feng was frightened at this time, and his brain was already a little inflexible.
"Forget it, for the sake of the two of you, the attitude of admitting your mistakes is quite correct, and I won't delve into it this time. Mu Fan waved his hand, and his tone softened a little, "You guys get up and talk." "Mu Fan's purpose is to rescue Jiao Xiang and his wife, and he has no intention of dealing with Pan Feng. After all, Pan Feng was an official in the main city of Shangqing Fang, and it was far from enough for him to punish him with the passage order. If you really force it, it will be self-defeating.
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie. The two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked them, and then stood up tremblingly, standing aside with their heads down and not daring to make the slightest movement, lest they would be in the way of their eyes and attract Mu Fan's unhappiness.
"Since the two of them also agree that Jiao Xiang and his wife were wronged, then they should be acquitted, right?" Mu Fan said.
"Yes, yes, yes. This time, Pan Feng grabbed the front of Bao Yuan, nodded again and again, and said: "Not only to release, but also to compensate, a big compensation." ”
"You can do the compensation yourself at your discretion, and I won't mix it. However, the matter of getting out of prison must be handled in a more secure manner. "The benefits of being delivered to the door, Mu Fan naturally will not refuse. Besides, if Pan Feng and them are not allowed to have some blood, I am afraid that the two of them will not be at ease.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will get things done. Bao Yuan instantly understood what Mu Fan meant, nodded and replied, "In a while, I will make a list of the whole city, and first return the innocence of Jiao Xiang and his wife." ”
"Hmm. Mu Fan stood up satisfied, "You go and arrange it, I'll wait in Jiaofu tomorrow morning." ”
