Chapter 227: Punishing the Second Elder

This palm force was fierce and unexpected, and for a while, Ye Chen was afraid that Fan Zhongyan would not be able to dodge.

Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Just like this, do you want to stump me?"

I saw that when he was about to touch him in the palm wind, his figure suddenly floated, emitting golden light, and his footwork was even stranger like a fish leaping and swimming.

Everyone was amazed, and it was this strange light skill that made him easily dodge, and his hair was unscathed.

"Yes! It seems that your "Floating Golden Step" is becoming more and more fascinating." Suddenly, an old man's voice came.

Fan Lao said with a smile: "You two old guys don't come out to see me, and you still have a sudden sneak attack there, don't you come out to explain the reason?"

"You old fellow, you still have this temper. Is it really easy to change the nature of the country?"

As the sound gradually became clear, two old men walked in.

One of the old men in white had three locks of long beard hanging down his chest, but his face was really ugly, and his clothes were extremely sloppy. As for the other old man in red, his face was dark and hateful, and he seemed to give people a feeling that no one should approach.

After Song Jue saw these two coming, he said, "Two elders, Fan Zhongyan injured me, and he didn't allow the Punishment Hall to arrest people. ”

After hearing this, the two frowned and remained silent.

On the contrary, Song Jue saw the expression of the second elder, and looked at Fan Lao, Ye Chen and the others with a smile. That kind of expression seems to indicate that these two people will definitely stand up for him.

Ye Chen said: "The three of you don't care about me.

The strange thing is that Fan Zhongyan saw that the two of them were not panicked at all, and said with a smile: "You two guys, do old friends need to be so fierce when they meet?"

At this time, the old man in white said, "You are our senior, how can you play like this?"

Fan Zhongyan said aggrievedly: "Xiao Wang, it's not that I want to bully them, but they want to bully me!" and then asked, "Don't you believe me, an old man?"

The old man in white said: "It's hard to say, I really doubt your old man." ”

Fan Zhongyan was taken aback when he heard this, and he was stunned and didn't know how to speak.

At this time, the old man in red said to the old man in white next to him: "An Shi, I believe in Fan Lao." ”

When the old man in white heard this, he said with a smile: "Of course I believe him, isn't this teasing Fan Lao?" and then said: "Bao Heizi, why did you show your bottom so quickly?

When Ye Chen heard this, coupled with the characteristics of the two, he understood that the two were Wang Anshi and Bao Zheng in the Northern Song Dynasty in the history books of their previous lives.

After he saw the two of them, he immediately wondered in his heart: "How can the two of them be in charge of the Punishment Hall? And this institution seems to have a lot to do with the Legalists!"

At this time, Wang Anshi looked at Ye Chen, and praised repeatedly: "Amazing, amazing!" and then asked, "Could it be that you are the Ye Chen who made the new disciples of Confucianism prosperous?"

Ye Chen said embarrassedly: "It's the disciple! But these are not what the disciples are willing to do." ”

He knew that Wang Anshi's personality was particularly eccentric, for fear that if he provoked him, he would make Fan Lao and him unhappy.

At this time, Bao Zheng said with a smile: "At a young age, you do have a courage that is rare for ordinary people, no wonder even Fan Lao is so good to you." ”

Fan Lao smiled and said, "That's, is it possible that I, Fan Zhongyan, don't know anyone?"

As soon as Song Jue heard this, he felt that Wang Anshi and Bao Zheng seemed to have great respect for this Fan Lao, and couldn't help asking, "Two, you haven't said how to punish Ye Chen?"

Who knew that as soon as he said this, he immediately caused Bao Zheng to be unhappy, and asked angrily: "Do you know the intention of Fan Lao just saying that?"

Seeing that Bao Zheng was angry, Song Jue was at a loss, and replied in fear: "I don't know." ”

Wang Anshi said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, you give me a good thought." ”

As soon as Ye Chen saw this Song Jue, he was terrified when he saw this Bao Sheng, and the two of them were terribly scared. I couldn't help but ask Fan Lao, "What's going on?"

Fan Lao said: "It seems that you don't know much about the specific affairs of the punishment hall. ”

Ye Chen replied embarrassedly: "I'll tell you the truth, our class hasn't been here yet, and I didn't know there was such an institution when I came." ”

Fan Lao said: "I don't think I need to say more about the source of this punishment hall!"

Ye Chen replied, "Hmm!"

"The highest authority in the Punishment Hall is actually two people, collectively known as the two elders of the Punishment. But it's not that it's called this, but that one person is in charge of criminal law and one person is in charge of punishment. The former is the process, and the latter is the result," Fan Lao explained.

Ye Chen asked, "Then who are the first two?"

"The earliest people were Shang Ying and Han Fei. Fan Lao replied.

When Ye Chen heard this, he exclaimed, "Is it actually them?"

"Yes, but this position of elder is chosen every two hundred years, and it is the turn of the little kings' generation for dozens of generations. ”

Ye Chen suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Fan Lao said: "But you know that the identity of the second elder of this punishment is like an emperor in this punishment hall, and anyone who sees it will grovel." At the same time, the status of the two is independent of the Confucian master. Under normal circumstances, the high-level of Confucianism could not interfere. ”

When Ye Chen heard this, he was puzzled, so he asked, "What kind of truth is this? This seems to be different from the concept of Confucianism!"

Fan Lao explained: "This is mainly a matter of the Dharma, and the reason why this is done is to maintain the independence of the two schools of Confucianism and Law. ”

Ye Chen said: "Famen, is there still this sect in the Jianghu Continent?"

Fan Lao said: "Yes, but this issue is too complicated, and Xiao Wang and I don't know about it. You'll need to find out for yourself later. ”

Ye Chen said: "I understand. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Yes, it is impossible for this continent to be without a hundred schools of thought? It seems that there are still many secrets in this." Then before I knew it, I wanted to get into my mind.

Seeing him in a trance, Fan Lao said, "Don't think about this now, let's see how the little kings stand out for us." ”

After Ye Chen listened, he also focused his attention on Song Jue and Wang Anshi again.

At this time, Song Jue never figured out what Bao Zheng meant, but he knew how severely the two of them punished those who made mistakes. So he could only say helplessly: "Two elders, I really don't understand, please let me know." ”

Wang Anshi said angrily: "You idiot, I know you can't think of it." Then he slapped him and said, "Fan Lao is talking about me, because you are what I found out." ”

When Song Jue heard this, he realized that Fan Lao's joke just now actually referred to Sang scolding Huai. Take this to remind Wang Anshi to punish himself.

So he hurriedly prayed: "Old Fan, spare me!" Now that he knew that he had made a big mistake, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Fan Lao looked at him and said disdainfully: "I think your ancestor was also a person in the Punishment Hall back then, why are you so unbearable?" and then said: "Xiao Wang, you can take care of this guy yourself." I'm going to take someone away now, but I must take Song Ci's face into account. ”

Wang Anshi said: "I know, Fan Lao walks slowly." ”

Fan Lao smiled and said to Ye Chen, "Let's go!"

Wang Anshi and the others saw that Fan Lao had finally left, and said, "Fan Lao really hasn't changed at all. Then he left as well.

However, the next day, the Punishment Hall Leader Ranking informed Song Jue that he was demoted to a low-level disciple of the Punishment Hall, and Luo Hong was punished for ten days.

This incident of Ye Chen's visit to the Punishment Hall ended like this, but it still made the entire Confucian sect uproar. And it has spread to the rivers and lakes.

And after Zhu Xi found out, he punished Luo Hongmen even more ruthlessly. At the same time, he said to the old man next to him more worriedly: "After this incident, it seems that the demon clan is going to be restless again. ”

I saw the old man say: "It's all my fault for not thinking it through, please punish the door master." ”

It turned out that this person was Fan Lao who saved Ye Chen.

Zhu Xi said: "There is no way, it seems that there is only one way to do it." ”
