Fan Ning was reciting the "Song Criminal Rule" in the study, although he bought a copy of the county official's trial case in the bookstore, but after carefully reading it, he found that he still couldn't take a trick, a case would involve all aspects, and he had to read the "Song Criminal Rule" systematically, and even half of the articles needed to be memorized.

Not only did he recite it himself, but he also asked Su Liang to recite it with him, if he wanted to get a high score in the provincial examination countermeasures, there was no shortcut, and he had to familiarize himself with "Song Criminal Rule" in a down-to-earth manner.

At the same time, Fan Ning also gave Li Dashou the complete book of county order trials, and asked him to take a good look at it.

In the room, Fan Ning was silently reciting the terms of "Song Criminal Unity", when the little maid Cuckoo ran over and said nervously outside the door: "Little official, the government is here!" ”

Fanning was stunned, what did the government do when it came to him? He couldn't think of a reason, so he got up and walked out of the door, and Su Liang also came out of the room when he heard the news.

"Fanning, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, say there's tolerance outside."

Both of them were very strange in their hearts, so they walked quickly to the door, only to see three people standing outside the door, and when they saw someone coming out, they asked the leader, "We came to find Fanning, but we live here?" ”

Fanning stepped forward, "I'm Fanning, what's the matter with you?" ”

He took out a summons from the Kaifeng Mansion and handed it to Fan Ning, "There is a case involving Fan Xiaoguan, this is an official letter, please follow us to Kaifeng Mansion immediately." ”

When Su Liang heard the 'Kaifeng Mansion', it was like he had been stepped on by his tail, and he immediately jumped up, "Fan Ning didn't break the law, why did you take him away?" ”

Fan Ning waved his hand to stop Su Liang and said to him: "I can go with you, but you have to tell me, what case am I involved in?" ”

The leader shook his head, "We don't know the specific case, we only know that it will be tried by Master Pang." ”

It turned out to be Pang Ji's trial, Fan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Su Liang: "There should be nothing to do, I'll come back when I go." ”

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you, in case something happens, I can help you run errands." ”

"Okay!" Fan Ning agreed, and he immediately hired an ox cart with Su Liang, accompanied by three people, and headed for the Kaifeng Mansion.

After a while, Fan Ning came to the mansion, turned back to Su Liang and said, "Don't go in, watch outside, if there is anything, someone will come out to look for you." ”

Su Liang nodded, "Be careful yourself!" ”

Fanning followed the man straight to the lobby, where he waited and one of the men went in to give a report.

At this moment, Fan Ning suddenly saw Xu Ji, who was standing at the door of the lobby, looking at him coldly, his face full of mockery and pride.

Fan Ning's heart was pounding, how could he have something to do with Xu Ji? He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he felt that Xu Ji was like a poisonous snake, which would pounce on him and bite him anytime and anywhere.

A servant ran out and saluted Fan Ning, "Fan Xiaoguan, please come with me!" ”

Fan Ning followed the official to the lobby, Xu Ji was really proud in his heart, this time he wanted to let Fan Ning walk around without eating, and Zhang Guozhang personally promised his father that only if he came forward to testify, he would guarantee that he would not be punished in any way.

Since his father agreed, Xu Ji would not refuse, and finally waited for the opportunity to clean up Fanning, which is called a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late.

Fan Ning walked up to the lobby and found that it was not the layout of the trial, there were two tables on the left and the right in front, and behind each table sat an imposing old man, one on the left, Fan Ning did not know, and the one on the right was Pang Ji.

In addition, there was a person sitting on the left, about fifty years old, with a roe deer head and a rat brain, and a pair of small eyes flashing with a cunning cold light, Fan Ning recognized this person at a glance, it was Zhang Yaozuo, who had dealt with him three years ago.

Fan Ning stepped forward to salute Pang Ji, "Student Fan Ning see Master Pang!" ”

Pang Ji nodded with a beard, this child has grown up, and he is still vaguely three years old, but he has changed a lot, and he already has the appearance of a young man.

This made Pang Ji a little worried, with Fanning's figure, it was barely possible to say that he went to find a woman, which was not as ridiculous as he imagined.

Pang Ji pointed to the two old men on the left and introduced Fan Ning: "The one on the left is Song Xiangguo, and the thin elder over there is Zhang Guozhang, you should know him." ”

Fan Ning was secretly surprised, Taishi, Xiangguo, Guozhang, three heavyweights came to judge themselves, what happened to him?

He hurriedly saluted Song Itch, "Student Fan Ning participates in Song Xiangguo!" ”

He ignored Zhang Yaozuo, he didn't have to think about it to guess that Zhang Yaozuo couldn't get out of today's interrogation, he had sent someone to spy on him before, but then he couldn't find himself, and he didn't know what despicable tricks he used to get involved in a certain case.

Zhang Yaozuo smiled cruelly, this little bastard has actually grown up, and it is completely okay to say that he is a prostitute.

Zhang Yaozuo remembered the scene three years ago, and his heart was full of hatred, even if he couldn't move Fan Zhongyan, he would be happy to clean up this little bastard.

Pang Ji said slowly: "Yesterday morning, the Ministry of Rites and the Kaifeng Prefecture jointly rectified the order of the imperial examination, and arrested more than 170 scholars who violated the ban and went to the brothel to prostitute themselves. ”

Fan Ning suddenly understood that it must be Xu Ji, the dog thief, who reported him, and at this moment, a monstrous anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and he couldn't wait to stab this bastard.

Fanning held back his anger and said, "May I ask who reported me?" ”

Song Yi glanced at Fan Ning, and then ordered: "Bring the whistleblower up?" ”

The official brought Xu Ji up, and Xu Ji hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Student Xu Ji participates in the national abbot, see the huge division, see Song Xiangguo!" ”

Master Pang looked at Xu Ji's information and asked, "You are a native of Chizhou, how can you know Fan Ning of Pingjiang Mansion?" ”

Xu Ji hurriedly said: "The student has studied in Pingjiang Mansion and knows Fan Ning. ”

Master Pang nodded and said, "Let's say your report again!" ”

Xu Ji had already made up a speech, he glanced at Fan Ning proudly, and said unhurriedly: "The student lives in the inn near West Yulin Street, the night before yesterday, the student saw Fan Ning sneaking into the brothel at the door of the Baifeng Pavilion on West Yulin Street, yesterday morning, the Kaifeng Mansion and the Ministry of Rites inspected West Yulin Street, the students saw the friendship of their former classmates, and wanted to inform Fan Ning to leave quickly, but Fan Ning escaped by himself, but I was mistakenly arrested by the Ministry of Rites, and the students were angry, so they complained to the Ministry of Rites about the fact that Fan Ning was a prostitute! ”：

Fan Ning laughed angrily, "Xu Ji, you really know how to make up stories, you actually said that I entered a brothel the night before yesterday, and you still have the face to say that for the sake of your old classmates, do you want to be shameless?" ”

Xu Ji rolled his eyelids and said: "What I said is the truth, of course you won't admit it!" ”

Fan Ning said coldly: "You spew blood, beware of retribution!" ”

Zhang Yaozuo said angrily: "Fanning, if you dare to threaten the accuser again, you will be punished!" ”

Master Pang glared at Zhang Yaozuo dissatisfiedly, who was interrogating?

Master Pang asked again, "Fan Ning, can Xu Ji's accusations be true?" ”

Fan Ning calmed himself down, this matter is not as simple as prostitution, Zhang Yaozuo wants to use this matter to ruin his future, maybe he also wants to use this matter to snipe his grandfather Fan Zhong into Beijing, he must not be in a hurry, he will fall into their trap.

Fan Ning shook his head unusually calmly, "Qi Taishi Pang, Xu Ji's accusation is complete nonsense!" ”

"Not necessarily!"

Zhang Yaozuo sneered, turned back to Liu Jin and said, "Bring in the witness!" ”

Liu Jin ran out, and brought in a small servant in a moment, it was the brothel servant who sold clothes to Fan Ning, Liu Jin pointed at Fan Ning, "Is it him?" ”

The little guy took a closer look at Fanning and nodded, "It's him, I remember it very clearly." ”

Zhang Yaozuo laughed proudly, "Fanning, what else do you have to say?" ”

Fanning sneered, "What did he prove, can you tell it?" ”

Master Pang was also dissatisfied: "What are you saying, why is it like playing a dumb riddle, I am confused!" ”

Liu Jin stepped forward and said: "Master Pang, when the Ministry of Rites inspected yesterday morning, Fan Ning hid in the kitchen of the Baifeng Pavilion, and Xu Xiaoguan was also there at that time, Fan Ning spent five taels of silver to buy the clothes of this little guy, pretending to be a brothel guy and escaped, this is a fact!" ”

Master Pang asked, "Fan Ning, is Liu Shaoyin right?" ”

Fan Ning pondered and said, "I want to ask Taishi Pang and Song Xiangguo first, if someone kills someone on the street, is the person watching the excitement next to him also considered an accomplice to the murderer?" ”

Pang Taishi and Song Qi glanced at each other, Pang Taishi shook his head, "If it's just to watch the excitement, then it has nothing to do with the murder!" ”

Fanning smiled faintly and said: "I was indeed in the brothel yesterday, and the testimony of this little servant is also true, but I did not go to prostitution, but was found by the brothel people in the morning to ransom my companion." ”
