Chapter 398: You, You, You, Tune, Investigate Me
Yes, Shi Sen, who was half stunned, suddenly stammered: "You, you, you, tune, investigate me?" β
Chu Fan saw that he was flustered, and sneered: "Hmph, just your little trick, you don't know about it?" β
Does Chu Fan know? knows some, not only Chu Fan knows, but also the sworn brother Wang Zheng.
The whole guard is a relatively closed system, although everyone knows some of Ganzhouwei's negative actions, but they all know it, after all, no one wants to charge into battle.
But Chu Fan only knew so much, as for what war horses were robbed and granaries were robbed, he really didn't know these details.
At the beginning, Wang Zheng left him in Tianshuiwei, but he insisted on leaving, that is, he heard about the situation of Ganzhouwei and insisted on coming.
For Wang Zheng, Shi Sen and others, Ganzhou Wei is just an inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty, that is, a barren land, as long as Wei is not lost, everything will be fine.
Even in the imperial court, this is nothing more than a passage to Suzhou Wei and Jiayuguan, and there is no good good land, so I don't pay much attention to it, as long as it can be kept, so the military expenses given are also very low, and the requirements are not high.
But for Chu Fan, this is not only an important material passage to the West, but also a resource production area of great strategic significance.
Ganzhou Suzhou is collectively known as Gansu in modern times, although the land is barren, but rich in iron, coal, oil, nickel, copper and other strategic materials, is an important part of the next step of Chufan to strengthen the country and enrich the people, so he is very concerned about the security here.
Hearing about the precarious situation of Ganzhou Wei, Chu Fan wanted to come here as soon as possible, which was his reason.
In any case, the two guards in Gansu must not be lost.
Shi Sen heard Chu Fan say this, and he didn't know Chu Fan's whereabouts in the past few months, so he really believed it.
As a last resort, his speech softened.
"Chu Fan, you and I are both officials of the imperial court, in this bitter cold place, they are all for the sake of eating, if you have a little conscience, you can't watch so many brothers die, when you come to Ganzhou Wei, you have to abide by the rules of Ganzhou Wei, do you understand?"
Chu Fan was not angry, and a "hum" came out of his nose. He turned his back and said, "What kind of bullshit rules, isn't it just passive slackness, bullying and concealing things?" β
"Chu Fan, don't eat soft or hard."
Chu Fan continued to hold his head high and said: "Although I am a small inspector, I am also sent by the imperial court, you just want to behead me, and you also need to be reviewed by the three law divisions, and you can only ask for beheading after next autumn, you don't have to scare me here." β
Seeing that he couldn't scare Chu Fan, Shi Sen suddenly felt a little wilted, his head also felt a little painful, and he waved his hand: "Go back first, and talk about it tomorrow." β
Chu Fan, who returned to the cell, looked at Qin Hong with a smile.
Qin Hong ran over and pulled up Chu Fan's sleeve, look at this, look at that, hey, why aren't you injured?
Chu Fan hugged Qin Hong with a smile and said, "Don't look for it, he doesn't dare to help me, he said that he will come back safely, you can rest assured." β
Although he scolded Shi Sen, Chu Fan was not too happy, he was scaring him today, but in fact, he only knew a little skin, and if he didn't grasp it with real evidence, Shi Sen would not be honest.
"Hong'er, you come." After whispering to Qin Hong, Qin Hong nodded, and explained to Sun Benzhang and the brothers, what Lord Chu's lunch and tea were all settled, Qin Hong turned sideways and flashed out of the prison.
With nothing to do, Chu Fan chatted with An Duode.
"Father An, your warship must be very big, right?"
"Our Portuguese warship is much bigger than this prison, and it can carry three hundred sailors."
"Oh, is that a wooden ship or an iron ship?"
"Wooden boats, but covered with iron sheets, can hold off muskets."
Chu Fan crossed Erlang's legs, took a sip of tea and said, "Then how do you drive such a big ship?" β
"We have foot-operated drive wheels."
"How many people do you need to pedal that thing?"
"About one hundred and eighty."
Good fellows, carrying a total of three hundred people, most of whom were coolies pedaling, was the most advanced in this dynasty, and how clumsy it was to put it in modern times, it was unimaginable.
"Priest, do you make steel?"
An Duode paused obviously, and looked at Chu Fan incredulously: "Do you know steel? β
Chu Fan smiled: "Don't look at it like this, I've seen a few Francophone people, and they told me." β
"We now have steel, our naval guns are now made of steel, very strong, the amount of gunpowder filled has increased, and now we can shoot very far."
Chu Fan didn't care, from the filling of gunpowder cannons to the modern form of firing shells, it would take at least two hundred years to transition, because they thought that their cannons were already the most advanced in the world, and it was not surprising.
"Father, how do you have a relationship with the Pope in your country?"
"Our Pope is very understanding, he loves his people like a son, he is my example, he has received me and guided my soul."
If you say it, you don't say it, okay, let's sleep, Chu Fan was slightly disappointed.
Shi Sen, who was said to have a headache by Chu Fan this day, was very unhappy to stay in the yamen.
Chu Fan is obviously not a good stubble, and now he hasn't rectified Chu Fan, but he has taken action to rectify himself first, although Gan Zhouwei's is not absolutely confidential, but once someone goes back to complain, he can't eat and walk around.
Moreover, this has locked Chu Fan up for so many days for no reason, and he can only release him without finding some reason, and once he is released, he will face loss of control.
After thinking about it, he figured it out, so he simply didn't do it, come on, come on, Chu Fan, I will fight with you, let's kill you first, I am willing to see how the dead man can sue the court.
If you are killed, it is a big deal to say that you committed suicide in fear of sin, that you fell into the pit and fell to your death, even if you punish me, it is nothing more than dismissal, it is better than taking my head and sacrificing the flag.
Shi Sen, who had made up his mind, began to play three indiscriminate again.
On this day, two officials came to interrogate Chu Fan again, and the prisoner Chu Fan walked out of the prison, stretched his waist to the sun, and said, "Lord Admiral, you think of me again?" β
The two officials didn't talk to him, so they picked him up and went to the guard.
Before I could go in, I heard the cries of the women inside.
"Bold Chu Fan, how dare you flirt with a woman from a good family?"
It was Shi Sen, the commander of Ganzhou Wei, who spoke.
Chu Fan raised his feet and walked into the door, but saw that today's battle was different from the past.
The first few times, Shi Sen wanted to interrogate Chu Fan privately and give him color, but he didn't even find an excuse, so he chose to interrogate him alone.
Today, the military attachΓ©s of all sizes in the guard station have been invited, lined up on both sides, and accompanied by the trial.
Chu Fan muttered in his heart, is this going to engage in public criticism? Playing with public opinion?
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I heard the crackling sound of Shi Sen's startled wooden beat.
As soon as Chu Fan saw this woman, her clothes were torn and tattered, revealing half of her shoulders, and then looked at Shi Sen sitting in the hall and smiling, he immediately knew what was going on.
But I'm not too worried, with the brains of Shi Sen and his dog-headed military advisors, they can't play any new tricks.
"Bold Chu Fan, have you seen her?"
"Yes, what's wrong, sir?"
"Hmph, admitting it pretty quickly? What is your crime in corrupting military discipline and molesting women? β
Chu Fan put his hand behind his back and said, "I know her and say that I molested her?" Didn't you see her too, did you flirt with her? β
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Shi Sen was angry and patted the case a few times: "Don't laugh, Chu Fan, you are still quibbling, this woman came to the lobby today to complain, saying that you molested her, can you plead guilty?" β
"My lord, how did prostitutes become molestions?"
"People are women from good families, and you actually say that you are prostitutes? The sin is added to the first degree, come on, call me. β
As he spoke, he called for his own soldiers to be tortured.
Chu Fan shouted: "Slow, since Lord Shi said that I molested her, then may I ask, who came here to complain?" β
"It's this woman."
"Okay, girl, let me ask you, what is my name?"
Although the woman avoided Chu Fan's eyes, she acted well, and turned around and said, "Your name is Chu Fan." β
"Oh, oh, my name is Chu Fan, then may I ask, when, where, and how am I teasing you?"
"Last night, I went to Liu Ji Sauce Garden to buy pickles, and you teased me outside the door."
Chu Fan took a step closer to the woman and shook his head: "Tut-tut, the time and place are very clear, so may I ask the girl, this unkempt and unkempt person doesn't change his clothes, so he waited at home all night and came to report to the official early in the morning?" Don't wash your face? β
This woman's mouth is not coincidental, Shi Sen was afraid of saying a flaw, so he immediately interjected: "Then it must be to leave evidence, otherwise how can you be convicted of being a prostitute?" β
Chu Fan smiled and said, "That's right, that's right, otherwise there would be no evidence." β
Chu Fan couldn't help but be a little ridiculous, how did Shi Sen come up with such a clumsy planting?
Then he said to the woman: "Girl, since we have negotiated ten taels of silver for prostitution last night, why did you regret it today and say that it was molesting?" β
"Who negotiated the prostitution with you?"
"Have you ever forgotten? Last night by the sauce garden, I gave the girl ten taels of silver ingots. β
"Nonsense, my lord, I didn't take his money, wronged, my lord, I really didn't take his money." The woman burst into tears.
"Bold Chu Fan, molesting her, and framing her, quickly arrest him and beat him with forty military sticks."
Several guards rushed up and were about to execute Chu Fan.
But I heard a shout outside the door, "Who dares." β
The person who came was none other than Chu Fan's sworn brother, Tianshui Wei Admiral Wang Zheng.
When everyone saw Tianshui Wei Admiral Wang Zheng entering the lobby, they bowed down and saluted.
Shi Sen also got up from his chair, walked to the right side of the desk, and saluted Wang Zheng.
Tianshui Wei Institute and Ganzhou Wei Institute have a subordinate relationship, to put it bluntly, Wang Zheng is Shi Sen's top boss, and he must salute respectfully when he sees Wang Zheng, this is the rule of officialdom, and the surface work is more or less still done, even if Shi Sen does not take this Tianshui Wei Governor very seriously.
Wang Zheng has been paying attention to Chu Fan's movements since Chu Fan left, and has written to Ganzhou Wei many times to ask about Chu Fan's situation, but he has not returned, and he has not been able to get any news of Chu Fan.
was already in a hurry, but on this day, Qiao Feng came to the guard to find him, saying that he couldn't find the news of Lord Chu, and he was very anxious. So the two of them came to Ganzhouwei in this way.
Coincidentally, I met Chu Fan molesting a woman and was trying the case in this hall.
Seeing that Shi Sen was about to play the trick of bending into a trick, Wang Zheng had no choice but to stand up.
Although Wang Zheng is Shi Sen's top boss, he is not afraid of Wang Zheng, first of all, everyone is a commander, but there is a relationship with jurisdiction, so Wang Zheng is half a level higher than this Shi Sen, and there is not much difference between the two official positions. Second, in his Shi Sen's opinion, he is a down-and-out phoenix, and Wang Zheng is a chicken, although he has fallen backstage, but he is also more powerful than you Wang Zheng without a backstage, in addition to politely saluting, he really didn't take Wang Zheng seriously.
Wang Zheng entered the lobby, according to the regulations, it should be Shi Sen after saluting, giving up the place for Wang Zheng to sit, and standing on both sides.
But this Shi Sen made it clear that he would not give Wang Zheng, and only one invitation, so he pointed Wang Zheng to the chair next to him and sat down, and he threw it high and sat on the chair of the main seat.
Wang Zheng knew the urine nature of this product, so he simply didn't say much, and said after sitting down: "Lord Shi's execution like this is a bit hasty, prostitution or flirting, I haven't asked clearly, why do you want to torture the court officials?" β
"Lord Wang doesn't know, this Chu Fan has bad conduct, the exit is not inferior, from Tianshui Wei to Ganzhou Wei to report, half a year has not seen a figure, and also brought a red-haired ghost man, there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, yesterday I molested women, and ruined the discipline of my Ganzhou guard, so I didn't beat him and didn't tell the truth.
Wang Zheng saw that Shi Sen's ability to fabricate charges was not bad, so he said: "You said that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, but is there any evidence?" Which enemy did you pass through, and which country did you sell to? β
"This matter is still under investigation, and when there is evidence, I will naturally report it to Lord Wang, but today's molestion of women, this woman has already told the time and place, the evidence is conclusive, what else is there to quibble?"
Wang Zheng saw that he didn't plan to give himself face, so he didn't give him face anymore, so he directly intervened in the case and asked the woman: "Girl, did you confiscate his silver?" The stakes are too high to be ambiguous. β
"My lord, I really didn't take any money from him."
Chu Fan paced two steps, walked to the woman's side and said, "Girl, why don't you admit it after receiving the money?" Let's be happy, didn't you take the money to buy jewelry in Zhang Ji? Why did you forget? β
"Bloody mouth, when am I happy with you?" The woman's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and she said coquettishly.
"Then return my money to me."
"I didn't take your money."
Chu Fan saw that the woman's expression was a little excited, and he quickened his voice and asked, "Then did you go to Zhang Ji to buy jewelry?" β
"Nope."
"Have you ......... with me?"
"Nope."
"Did you take any money from me?"
"Nope."
"Then did you go to the sauce garden?"
"Nope."
Chu Fan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, you didn't go to the sauce garden, how can I tease you?" β
Seeing that the clumsy methods were about to be exposed, Shi Sen reacted quickly and immediately stopped: "Okay, this woman is delirious, and she will be taken to retrial." β
Seeing that Shi Sen wanted to end it hastily, Chu Fan stopped doing it: "Lord Shi, I think this woman is very normal, but Lord Shi is delirious." β
"What nonsense are you talking about? How dare you say I'm delirious? β
"If your mind is clear, how can you use such a means to frame me?"
Shi Sen suddenly became a little anxious, and scolded: "Bold Chu Fan, this woman went to the lobby to report to the official, of course I have to accept it, where the duty is, I am fair for you, you actually insult this official?" β
"My lord, I think you won't bet on this woman for a retrial, right? Isn't it going to be put on your bed and interrogated alone? β
"You, you, you, nonsense." Shi Sen has a problem, and he stutters when he is excited.
Chu Fan continued with his hands behind his back: "Let me tell you, this woman is the head of the adult, and she came to frame me." β
"Hu, nonsense, what, what, what?"
With this stammer, Chu Fan was even more convinced of his judgment, and drank: "Girl, who tore your clothes?" β
The woman was already confused, and didn't know how to answer, but said, "I didn't, I didn't." β
Chu Fan continued to ask: "Did he tear it?" β
Shi Sen saw that Chu Fan was going to collapse the woman by playing psychological warfare, so he immediately interjected: "Chu Fan, don't spew blood, I don't know this woman." β
"Don't know? Then let me ask you, girl, this person has a mole on his left buttocks, right? β
This question completely confused the woman who was already on the verge of collapse, the left buttocks? Have a mole?
Then the woman shook her head, shaking her head vigorously.
"He doesn't have a mole on his left buttocks?"
The woman nodded again.
"Is there any?"
The woman shook her head again.
Chu Fan once again sped up his speech: "He doesn't have a mole on his left buttocks?" β
The woman nodded.
"How do you know he doesn't have a mole on his left buttock?"
"I, I, I." The woman was speechless when asked, and stepped back vigorously, seeing that she was about to go out of the gate.
Wang Zheng shouted: "Catch her, don't let her run." β
Qiao Feng, who was outside the door, with two guards of Tianshui Guard, instantly blocked the door.
Chu Fan waved his hand and said, "It seems that Lord Shi's ass is still very clean, okay, let her go." β
The woman covered her face and ran outside, and Shi Sen stood beside the desk, trembling with anger.
Chu Fan turned to Shi Sen and said, "Lord Shi, since it has nothing to do with you and me, I will go back first, and when I find evidence of my communication with foreign countries, welcome to summon and leave." β
After that, he led Qiao Feng and Wang Zheng, but took the initiative to go back to the prison.
When the group of people came to the door of the prison, Chu Fan opened his mouth, and Sun Benzhang hurriedly trotted all the way, opened the door, and invited everyone to enter the door.
This time, Wang Zheng and Qiao Feng have opened their eyes, where is this prison? It's a mansion.
Since moving into this prison, Sun Benzhang's little brothers have received Qin Hong's large piece of gold, and they have never been idle, one will buy some furniture for Chu Fan, and the other will buy a carpet, and they will build this prison according to the villa, and now they come in with all kinds of living utensils, and they are all high-end goods, and everyone who sees it is also confused.
Sun Benzhang is even more strange the more he looks at it, what's wrong? Is there a treat in the prison?
A group of mermaids rushed into Chu Fan's private room, looking at An Duode in the cell next to him, with a look of disdain.
In this era, foreigners with red hair and blue eyes are like ghosts to us, so why do we call Westerners foreign devils. Seeing such a person living next door to Chu Fan, everyone was a little unlucky.
