"Your Excellency should indeed not remember that after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the clothes of all the servants in your house will be changed, and your house has customized fifty sets of men's clothes in my father's clothing shop. The villain remembers that during the Chung Yeung Festival, it was the villain who sent the clothes to your mansion with his father. And at that time, it was indeed Mrs. Fang who received the clothes. But there was also a house slave named Ding Er in your mansion who was present at that time. ”

Fang Jingzhi seemed to be stabbed by a thorn, and his body shook, but he quickly calmed down: "There are hundreds of domestic slaves in this official's family, and there are more than fifty men. The official is usually busy with official business, where does the official remember these household trivialities! ”

Zhou Fan sneered: "Yes!" Adults don't remember, but villains do. Because it was Ding Er who was responsible for signing the receipt for the villain that day. Unfortunately, the villain just inherited his father's clothing shop a few years ago. Important words such as receipts must be kept with them according to the instructions of the father, so although the villain's home was hit by a fire, it happened that day that the people were buying clothes in other places, and they were not at home, so they escaped this catastrophe. And those notes have been preserved. ”

Zhou Fan said and took out a thick stack of ledgers from his arms, spread them on the ground and turned a few pages before turning to the emperor, the emperor and King Yi and the prince really saw the receipt of the house's ready-to-wear clothes, and the red fingerprint red seal was crookedly written with the word Ding Er, and there were a few clear fly-headed small letters next to it: Fang Jingzhi!

There were many trivial matters in the families of the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, and there were many places where they needed to sign and draw, and the male owners of the nobles' families were often entangled in trivial matters, and it was not easy to find someone to sign at any time.

Therefore, many princes and princes are in charge of the male owner in advance to sign a stack of various receipts, when you need to use it by the official or the hostess to take it, directly on the back of the name of the person who has passed the hand.

And the ready-to-wear receipt in front of him is Fang Fuzhong, and the names of Ding Er and Fang Jingzhi appear on the receipt at the same time, and Fang Jingzhi can't help it.

"Your Excellency should have remembered by now! This Ding Er is a house slave in your house! Zhou Fan still said unhurriedly.

"Since the receipt is here, there must be such a person in the house!" Fang Jingzhi's face turned pale, and he was still calm, "But it's normal that you can't remember the name of the family in the house!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, but the villain remembers Ding Er very well! Not only because of the change of house slaves in autumn last year, but also because of ......" Zhou Fan paused, took a deep breath of the cool air mixed with the smell of smoke, and said: "On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, on the edge of the Qu Pond, Ding Er threw a little boy into the river. And Na Xiaotong is the child who later died of the couple! My neighbors also saw it with their own eyes, but they died in the fire,"

"What nonsense?" Fang Jingzhiqi's face turned blue, and then turned pale again, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down from under the soft ruler's head, smashing on the scorched earth and raising a puff of smoke.

"It happened on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there must have been a lot of people who saw what happened that day! But they don't want to testify! The Emperor looked up at the crowd of onlookers around him and sighed lightly. Turning his head, he glanced at the trembling Fang Jing, and finally his eyes fell on Zhou Fan, "Why don't you protect yourself like them and come out to testify?" ”

They don't want to come out and testify that the villain knows why! If the villain, his wife and children are all there on weekdays, the villain will not be there! In broad daylight, just because the child was frightened and fell into the river, he had to take revenge, how could ordinary people dare to contend with such a high-ranking official. Zhou Fan hung up a sneer, but more of a helplessness in the depths of his heart, this sneer was reflected in the emperor's eyes, fiercely piercing this king who had just finished sealing Zen and was bent on returning to the court.

"Is my court so unbearable?" The emperor's words were not anxious or angry, but they were chilling, and the crown prince, King Yi and a group of civil and military generals knelt on the ground.

"The emperor is sage, it's just that someone has deceived the saint and abused his power to corrupt the court! Today, I saw that the Son of Heaven came to Guiyi Fang to comfort the people, and ordered people to thoroughly investigate the fire case within three days. The grass people are like seeing the sunshine in the cold winter, so they dare to boldly come out to testify, praying for Lang Lang Qiankun to reappear in my imperial city. Zhou Fan bowed his head, because there were tears in the corners of his eyes because of excitement, but the offering was not slack.

"Anyway, all the relatives in the villain's family have gone west, even if they testify for this old man today, it doesn't hurt to suffer the same calamity in the future, and it is a good thing for the underground family to reunite!"

When the words fell, there was silence! The emperor was silent, the prince did not dare to speak, King Yi waited and watched, the ministers trembled, and the people did not know what to do.

The emperor's gaze was cold, like a huge glacier in the deep sea, dull and depressing, but it was so cold that he didn't dare to look at it directly, and everywhere he went, everyone's heads were lowered and lowered, and they wanted to stuff themselves into the cracks in the ground.

"Prince!"

After a long time, the emperor exhaled lightly.

"Father!" The crown prince propped his hands on the scorched earth, crouched beside the emperor's white shirt, and answered but did not dare to raise his head.

"How long have you been here?"

"My father and the emperor have let his sons supervise the country since the year before last!"

"I don't dare to compare with the sages of the ranks, but when I entrust the country to you, I still ask myself that the government and the opposition are clear! When did this happen? ”

The prince was in a cold sweat: "Father, it's the son's negligence!" ”

The emperor let out a long sigh, his eyes fell on the prince's body, and his eyes were complicated: "You are negligent!" ”

"Father?" The crown prince raised his head tremblingly to meet the emperor's complicated eyes, like pouring a bucket of ice water on his head.

"Spread my will: The official department Shangshu connived at the murder of the house slaves and stripped them of their official positions, and waited for the fate in the secluded house and the house. The herald ordered Dali Temple to arrest the evil slave Ding Er and the three divisions to jointly review the case of a young child falling into the water! The Hubu Shangshu Zhuo Yinfeng incident implicated in the Guiyifang fire case, and was also temporarily closed to the Nangong Hou Mansion, and he was not allowed to leave the Nangong Hou Mansion for half a step before the Guiyi Fang fire case was understood. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince......" Fang Jingzhi still wanted to grab the last straw, but was glared back by the prince with a fierce look. Zhuo Yinfeng lowered his head, but his eyebrows were Jingzhou, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Liu Laohan and his wife saw that Fang Jingzhi was cut off on the spot, and they cried with joy and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After tossing all morning, the emperor was already exhausted, and he didn't know what else to do if he stayed, so he waved his hand and led a huge honor guard to leave quickly in the company of King Yi, leaving only the cheers of a group of people in Wuyang.
