The night of September 14 was not quiet for many people in Gimhae City.

The city guard's yamen, Hong's house, traffic hall and other places are brightly lit and discussed.

As for the Fang family, who suddenly lost Shaodong, they were even more boiling, shrouded in suppressed anger.

Relying on the confessions of the two waitresses and the witnesses of some guards, in the eyes of these "victims", the context of the matter could not be clearer.

First, Hong Fan and Fang Zhiwu had a dispute over Huo Qi Dan, then the two were alone in the private room, and finally the former's saber penetrated the latter's heart.

The deceased was fatally killed by a single blow, and the offender was caught red-handed.

A lot of things happened that night.

The head of the Fang family personally led people to the city guard mansion, checked the body of his son with red eyes, and went to the traffic hall after crying silently.

The layout of the private room is distinct.

There is only one door, separated by a beaded curtain.

As a place to talk, the windows of the quiet backstreet are claustrophobic, so the outside is planted like a wall of shrubs.

The wooden wall was undamaged.

On this basis, if you want to say that you can quickly penetrate the window and go silently after killing, even a Pure Realm martial artist can't do it.

Looking at Jinhai City, excluding the Hong family and the various institutions of the government, the masters who can do this are not even more than five fingers.

As for Hong Fan himself, it is another focus.

The Fang family, and even most of the people on the stage in the city, confirmed his identity in tonight's turmoil.

This son of the Hong family is the new star monarch.

Under the thick night, there were suddenly more joys and sorrows.

Only the anger of the head of the Fang family remained blazing.

Sand worlds can certainly be the reason for being designed.

But it may also be the reason for Hong Fan's unscrupulousness.

On the other side, Tian Liu, who guarded the city's mansion, did not live up to Hong Fan's trust, and waited at the gate of the small courtyard for Aunt Liu, who had finished selling the pods and returned with an empty basket.

When most of the matter was explained, the latter missed the basket and didn't have the heart to pick it up.

"Master Mingjian, my young master will never kill anyone!"

She first repeated this sentence back and forth in a trembling voice, and after a while, she heard that her young master had been detained by the City Guard Mansion, and finally came back to her senses with a forced spit.

At this time, Tian Liu carefully relayed Hong Fan's words.

"Today's New Article", "Instrument Supervisor", "Smelling the Master Craftsman"......

Aunt Liu muttered a few key words in her mouth, and the panic on her face gradually receded, and she turned to ignorant perseverance.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

After writing it down thoroughly, she remembered that she hadn't said anything, so she quickly took out a handful of large coins from her arms and stuffed them into the hands of the catcher.

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, Aunt Liu had already taken three steps and two steps to the small courtyard.

So, Tian Liu had to carefully put dozens of big money strung with ropes, old and new, into his arms, and left with a sigh.

As a fast catcher, he has seen countless life and death partings in half his life.

But every time I see sincerity and true feelings, I always feel moved.

After the tea, Aunt Liu took the paper that Hong Fan had just completed at noon, carefully wrapped it and hid it in her arms, and took dozens of taels of silver that the young master gave her, and after hastily worshipping the Bodhisattva, she went straight out.

As for dinner or something, I have long forgotten about it.

It's a pity that by the time I got to the prison, it was already dark at night, and except for the guards on duty at night, everyone else had already gone to the office.

That night, Aunt Liu shrank at the street corner outside the yamen for the night.

At the same time, the activities of the Hong family's high-level leaders were naturally more orderly and efficient.

Except for Hong Pan, who was stationed in Xijing, the state capital, and Hong Wei, who was in the army in the guard, the remaining six high-level leaders above the realm were all assembled.

It's nothing more than two words - guarantor.

Selfishness is the nature of local heroes.

Not to mention that Hong Li and Hong Wu didn't believe that Hong Fan would kill people on the spot because of the competition for the pill, even if they were killed, the Hong family couldn't allow their own Xingjun and the Fang family kid to exchange lives.

In a six-person meeting, one thing is assigned.

Gift preparation, separate visits, and mediation of lawsuits......

Hong Ming was even sent out of the city to contact non-local families in case of a last-ditch effort.

The rooster sings, and the sky breaks the belly of the fish.

On the second day, when I heard that the morning of the morning was stopped by a servant woman with loose hair and a woman-like woman.

After a while, Wen Shijiang understood the reason, and hastily skimmed the paper that was warmed by his heart, and thoroughly understood the seriousness of the matter.

After resigning Aunt Liu's dozens of taels of scattered silver, he walked into the ya, not only did not have a trace of early haze on his face, but was full of brazenness.

For others, the incident of the traffic hall is to murder Hong Fan's life.

In the middle of hearing this, this is to cut off his hard-won future.

······

September 16, noon.

Gimhae City Prison Guard.

In the gloomy foyer, a few jailers were chatting over a simple meal.

"When I came here today, I heard Ah Si say that the errand of the traffic hall has been completed; Lord Hong avoided the whole process. ”

A young jailer with his sleeves rolled up said.

The "errand" here refers to the "errand" and "sales", which is roughly the process of summoning personnel and collecting evidence.

"So fast? It's only been less than two days! ”

The second person stopped his chopsticks and exclaimed.

"It's the eldest son of the Fang family who died, and he was originally preparing to take charge, and the whole city doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it!"

The eldest third laughed.

"Those who handled it above are said to have not slept much for two days, and it is estimated that they will soon pass the court (court verdict)."

He clipped a piece of pig ear and added another sentence.

Although these jailers do not have much power, it is not difficult for the families of prisoners to control them, and they will basically not be short of meat.

"I see rumors in the city, saying that the human and material evidence is complete, and the beheading should be sentenced!"

The first person said again, which immediately drew a laugh from his colleagues.

"How can it be that easy?"

The eldest third shook his head.

"If you want to sentence an ordinary person to exile, the city guard must also report to the state governor, let alone the death penalty? That's all to be sent to the feet of the Son of Heaven for verification! ”

"Besides, the identity of the young master who came in this time is different."

He said, glancing inside.

As usual, the jailers would have had a little wine on the hour.

But these days, because of someone's existence, they have to be extra conscientious.

Inside the cell, Hong Fan, who was unshackled, sat quietly on the wooden bed, hearing the discussion outside clearly.

Compared to the panicked prisoners next door, his mind was calm.

It's not that Hong Fan looks down on life and death, it's just that he knows that he has a high probability of worrying about his life.

The crime of homicide does not involve the unforgivable "ten evils", at most it is beheading.

According to the consistent process, it needs to go through the city, state and central three levels of review.

Coupled with his status as a star monarch, even if he is sentenced to death, he must be sent to Shenjing, and the criminal department and even the Son of Heaven will personally approve it.

And that's just the program.

Hong Fan is the star monarch of the Hong family, the first powerful Hong family in Jinhai.

The death of the eldest son of a second-tier family is a big deal in Jinhai City.

But it is not enough to scare the Hong family.

The so-called Haoqiang has always been the priority of the interests of the clan, and the national court is the last.

If there is really no other way, the Hong family can rob the prison and send Hong Fan to another place with another identity.

As long as there is no evidence that is too hard, there is nothing the city guard can do - it must be known that there are many Hong family officers in the Jinhai City Defense Division and the Shakou Guard.

In a word, in order to comprehensively suppress or even destroy a certain powerful clan, it is necessary to have a strong external force to intervene.

PS: Tomorrow is the birthday of the operation officer, so I updated it early.
