Mo Xuanfei felt that his Ah Lang had the potential to be a fortune teller, because he had eaten and had just come out of the gatehouse, and he was about to take a walk around the wall and eat when the copper ring on the door knocked, and sure enough, someone came to the door. So his expression was a little haggard, and his reddish eyes revealed a bit of sadness.

Perhaps it was because of the domineering habits he had cultivated in the ministry for a long time, or perhaps it was the privilege of those whose families were unfortunate. He didn't quarrel too much with Yang Fan, and quickly introduced the topic: "Pan came today as the victim's father." I hope Yang Langzhong can understand the feelings of a father, and the white-haired person will send the black-haired person ......"

Pan Ziwen's voice was slightly choked, he calmed down and gently wiped the corners of his eyes. Raise your head slowly. Stared at Yang Fan and said: "The imperial envoy came forward with ulterior motives, and coerced the so-called public opinion to do his own selfishness. Yang Langzhong didn't fall for them. Yang Langzhong is also a person who has entered the Magistrate's Yuan, and he should know the behavior and style of those cool officials, if they are allowed to rise again, it will not be good for you, me, or any official. ”

Yang Fan nodded, deeply convinced. Pan Ziwen's facial curves softened a little, and he said in a very soft, but very clear and powerful voice: "Luoyang Mansion transferred this case to Dali Temple, and the verdict of Dali Temple is fair, and the old man doesn't want the innocent child to die in vain under Jiuquan and can't turn a blind eye."

This matter because of the imperial envoy from the obstruction, so that the judgment of Dali Temple can not be executed for a long time, and now the case is transferred to the criminal department, transferred to the hands of your Yang Langzhong, Pan Mou, as the father of the deceased, implored Langzhong to uphold justice for the old man! As long as Yang Langzhong can be impartial, you will gain Pan's friendship because of this! ”

Pan Ziwen didn't carry any gifts, he came empty-handed, and this promise was his gift. It is often said that there are people in the court who are good officials, so who should be relied on to be officials? The best, of course, is that there are people in the ministry, and this is a yamen that manages and evaluates hundreds of officials.

Being able to get the friendship of an official of the Ministry of Meritorious Service is a generous gift that money can't buy.

However, what officials in the court don't want to offend the most is not only the ministry, but also the imperial envoy. If you are stared at by that group of envoys, you will be like a monkey wearing a golden hoop on his head, and he will be uncomfortable. And the imperial envoy is against the execution of Chang Zhiyuan, Yang Fan's team is not easy to stand!

Yang Fan's expression was very serious, his face was tense, as if this was not a study, but a public court, he said to Pan Ziwen in a very serious voice: "Please rest assured that Pan Yuanwai, Yang will definitely judge impartially, let the dead rest in peace, comfort the living, and will never succumb to power and judge the case arbitrarily." ”

Yuanwai, in the colloquial language at the time, was called Yuanwailang, just as the prime minister was called Xianggong, not the rich man as later generations said.

Pan Ziwen's request for Yang Fan to "judge impartially" is to uphold justice for him, and this prince is only the father of his Pan family. And Yang Fan's promise, in his opinion, is Yang Fan's most accurate reply. So Pan Ziwen is very satisfied. When the business was settled, the atmosphere eased down, and the topic of conversation changed from this incident to a short hustle and bustle among parents.

Pan Yuan praised Yang Fan's study with elegant and unique layout; Yang Fan praised Pan a few times, and Pan Yuanwai was well-nourished, and his face looked at least ten years younger than his age; Pan Yuanwai cared about whether Yang Fan had any children, and Yang Fan asked Pan Yuanwai about how many heirs Pan Yuanwai had, whether they had been married.

Unexpectedly, this came to arouse Pan Yuanwai's sadness, Pan Yuanwai couldn't help but cry, Yang Fan had to say a few words of "festival mourning and change" or something to show comfort. The two of them talked for a while, Pan Yuanwai got up and said goodbye, Yang Fan was very respectful, although Pan Yuanwai repeatedly asked him to stop, he still opened the middle door and kept sending Pan Yuanwai out of the house.

That night, no one came back to the door.

Since Pan Ziwen is here, Wu Chengsi will not use it, just before speaking, Pan Ziwen has already revealed very implicitly that he is Wu Chengsi's person. With Wu Chenghe's power and status, Yang Fan is not qualified enough to call him condescending and coming to the door in person.

The last time Wu Chengsi was in the White Horse Temple, he wanted to come forward because there was a Xue Huaiyi there, and others were not qualified to go to the side of the Buddha to ask for someone. Wu Chengsi has been to the White Horse Temple, which is enough, as long as Yang Fan is not stupid, he has to weigh the consequences of offending King Wei.

No one came to the door that night, but the next morning when Yang Fan was about to go to the criminal department. On the way, he "coincidentally" met Wu Sansi, he was very warmly invited by King Liang to get into the car, the car drove slowly, the two chatted in the car for half an hour, Yang Fan came out and rode straight to the criminal department.

Wu Sansi naturally didn't need to give him a gift, when he got married, Wu Sansi gave a gift, and what he wanted was the strength of a corporal who was a good corporal. Give a gift at this time. But it inevitably weakened his reputation. Let alone. He has always regarded Yang Fan as his person, and he is willing to personally come and tell him, saying that he is very concerned about this matter, and that is enough. Why give gifts.

Yang Fan was a little depressed, he was not exhausted, he thought that someone would come to ask him to do something. There will definitely be people who will send generous gifts, but they didn't expect that they were all asking for him, but one by one they only called him and drank him, looking like they were taking it for granted, as if they were willing to ask him to do things for themselves, and they had already given him a lot of face.

"It's still because the official is small!"

Yang Fan sighed.

When he arrived at the yamen. or in the second hall to interrogate the three generations of the Chang family. With great patience, I asked again and again, and waited until the end of the night. The dossier he sorted out had clearly shown his attitude, and even Qin Mingda, the scribe who made the record, could see it clearly: "The plague is inclined to the Chang family!" ”

This tendency, of course, refers to the case of Chang Zhiyuan's killing of Pan Junyi.

As for whether the old woman in the Chang family who killed her daughter-in-law is dead or alive, no one cares anymore. In that case, everyone has long known Yang Fan's attitude, since Chen Dong sentenced Mrs. Chang's crime to be reduced by one degree, and Yang Fan resolutely opposed it, then what he insisted on was to sentence Mrs. Chang to death.

But things have developed to this point, and this case has no longer related to the overall situation. The most important thing at the moment is the murder of Pan Junyi, which involves the three legal divisions, and even involves the dispute between King Wei and King Liang, this case cannot be solved satisfactorily, even if he overturns Chen Dong's verdict, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Criminal Department.

Now it seems that his verdict is likely to be contrary to Dali Temple, that is, he will overturn the decision of Dali Temple, obey the "will of the people", and according to the advice of the imperial envoy, Chang Zhiyuan's crime will be reduced by one degree and the sentence will be commuted to exile. In this way, he will inevitably offend Dali Temple, and then offend King Wei. And the imperial envoy headed by Wan Guojun will become his ally because of this?

Not to mention that he had been persecuted by the Imperial Envoy Tai before, with the current notorious reputation of the Imperial Envoy Tai, as long as he dared to show the tendency to ally with the Imperial Envoy Tai, and was worried that he would become the second Zhou Xing's civil and military officials, he would immediately rise up and attack him, knock him down under the Nine Lands, and then step on 10,000 feet, so that he would never be able to turn over.

Qin Mingda quickly reported the latest situation he learned to Chen Dong, and Chen Dong and Qin Mingda studied it carefully for a long time, but they didn't understand what Yang Fan's idea was. He decided to wait and see, in his opinion, this problem is simply unsolvable, the two shili have offended either party, and it will be difficult for him, the new criminal department to end.

Chen Dong stood under the laurel tree in the courtyard, looking at the buds that were gradually revealed, and felt that all this was the will of heaven, when Yang Fan decided to use this case as a breakthrough to attack him, he would not have expected that this case would have such a big turn, such a big change, what is this not providence?

Chen Langzhong pinched an osmanthus flower in his hand and stood under the tree, leisurely like a Buddha with flowers.

His elder follower Luo Ling and his henchman Qin Mingda stood on the left and right, smiling like the Venerable Ka Ye who had realized in his heart.

This night, there was still no one to give Yang Fan gifts, even Yuan Han, who had just been promoted to the head of the team by Yang Fan, did not come, Yang Fan was sleeping in a wide coat, and complained to his own wife Xiaoman: "The people in this yamen are really monsters who have become spirits, and they don't scatter eagles if they don't see rabbits!" ”

The little girl yawned and said, "Sleep!" ”

Yang Fan snorted, stripped naked and went to bed, and then asked his female bodhisattva with a salivating face: "Lady, since the last time, is it the fifth day?" ”

The little girl replied very Zen: "Sleep!" ”
