Chapter 188 Two Trials (Part 1)

Fan Ning was reciting "Song Xingtong" in his study. Although he bought a complete collection of county officials' case trials in a bookstore, after carefully reading it, he found that he still could not take any tricks. A case would involve all aspects and had to be read systematically by "Song Xingtong" and even half of the terms needed to be recited.

Not only did he recite it himself, he also asked Su Liang to recite it with him. If he wanted to get high scores in the provincial test countermeasures questions, there was no shortcut to take, he had to be familiar with the "Song Xingtong" carefully.

Fan Ning also gave Li Dashou the complete summary of the county magistrate's case trial, and asked him to take a good look.

In the room, Fan Ning was silently reciting the terms of "Song Zhengtong". At this time, the little maid Du Juan ran over and said nervously outside the door: "Little official, someone is here in the officialdom!"

Fan Ning was stunned. What did the government come to him for doing? He couldn't think of the reason, so he got up and walked out of the room. Su Liang also came out of the room after hearing the news.

"Fanning, what happened?"

"I don't know, I said there are tolerances outside."

Both of them were very surprised, so they quickly walked to the front door. They saw three tollers standing outside the door. When they saw someone coming out, they asked the head to the toller: "We are here to find Fanning, but we live here?"

Fanning walked forward, "I am Fanning, what's the matter with you?"

For the first mission, he took out a summons from the Kaifeng Government Office and handed them to Fan Ning, "There is a case involving Mr. Fan. This is a letter. Please follow us to the Kaifeng Government Office immediately."

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

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

The head of the tomb in charge shook his head, "We don't know whether the specific case is clear, we only know that it will be tried by Tai Shi Pang."

It turned out that it was Pang Ji's trial of the case. Fan Ning breathed a little relieved and said to Su Liang: "There should be nothing, I'll go and come back."

Su Liang thought for a while and said, "I'll go with you. If there is anything, I can help you run errands."

"Okay!" Fan Ning agreed. He immediately hired a ox cart with Su Liang and followed three toll-man toward Kaifeng Prefecture.

Soon, Fan Ning came to the front of the government office and turned to Su Liang and said, "Don't go in. Watch outside. If there is anything, someone will come out to find you."

Su Liang nodded, "Be careful!"

Fanning followed the toll directly to the lobby. He was waiting in the hall, and a toll went in to report.

At this moment, Fan Ning suddenly saw Xu Ji, and he stood at the door of the lobby, looking at himself coldly, his face full of mockery and pride.

Fan Ning's heart was so thumping, how could it be related to Xu Ji? He suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart. He felt that Xu Ji was like a poisonous snake, and he would pounce on him anytime and anywhere and bite him.

A yamen runs out and salutes Fan Ning, "Please come with me if you are a little official Fan!"

Fan Ning followed the yamen runners to the lobby, and Xu Ji was really proud. This time he wanted Fan Ning to be unable to bear it. Besides, Mr. Zhang personally agreed to his father that he would only come forward to testify, and he would guarantee that he would not be punished.

Since his father agreed, Xu Ji would not refuse. Finally, he had the opportunity to deal with Fan Ning. This is called a gentleman taking revenge, and it is not too late for ten years.

Fanning walked into the lobby and found that it was not the arrangement of trial case. Two tables were placed on the front, one left and one right, and behind the table was an old man with a strong aura. Fanning didn't recognize one on the left, while Pang Ji was the one on the right.

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

Fan Ning stepped forward and bowed to Pang Ji, "Student Fan Ning met Master Pang!"

Pang Ji nodded when he stroked his beard and nodded. The child had grown up and was still vaguely for three years, but the changes were still very big, and he already looked like a young man.

This made Pang Ji a little worried. With Fan Ning's figure, it would be possible to say that he went to find a woman, which was not as ridiculous as imagined.

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

Fan Ning was secretly surprised. The Grand Tutor, Prime Minister, and the father-in-law came to examine him. What did he do?

He hurriedly saluted Song Yang, "Student Fan Ning participated in the Prime Minister Song!"

But he ignored Zhang Yaozuo. He could guess that Zhang Yaozuo could not escape the interrogation today. He had sent someone to monitor him before, but later he could not find him. He didn't know what despicable tricks he used to get himself into a case.

Zhang Yaozuo smiled grimly. This little bastard actually grew up and said that he could go to prostitution.

When Zhang Yaozuo remembered the scene three years ago, his heart was filled with hatred. Even if he couldn't move Fan Zhongyan, he would feel happy to deal with this little bastard.

Pang Ji said slowly: "Yesterday morning, the Ministry of Rites and Kaifeng Government Office jointly rectified the imperial examination order and arrested more than 170 scholars who violated the ban to go to prostitutes to prostitutes. Some of them reported that you were also in the brothel at that time. Is this report true?"

Fan Ning immediately understood that it must be the thief Xu Ji who reported him. At this moment, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, wishing he could stab the bastard with one knife.

Fanning held back his anger and said, "Who reported me?"

Song Yang glanced at Fan Ning and then ordered: "Bring the whistleblower up?"

The yamen runner brought Xu Ji up, and Xu Ji hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Student Xu Ji participated in the father-in-law, meet Master Pang, and meet Prime Minister Song!"

Master Pang looked at Xu Ji's information and asked, "You are from Chizhou, how could you know Fan Ning from Pingjiang Prefecture?"

Xu Ji hurriedly said: "The student once studied in Pingjiang Mansion and met Fan Ning."

Master Pang nodded and said, "Tell me your report again!"

Xu Ji had already made up a speech. He glanced at Fan Ning proudly and said calmly: "The student lives in an inn near Xiyulin Street. The night before yesterday, the student saw Fan Ning sneaking into the brothel at the entrance of Baifeng Pavilion on Xiyulin Street. Yesterday morning, the Kaifeng government office and the Ministry of Rites patrolled Xiyulin Street. The student saw that he had been with his former classmates, so he wanted to inform Fan Ning to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, Fan Ning escaped himself, but I was accidentally arrested by the Ministry of Rites. The student was angry, so he complained to the Ministry of Rites that Fan Ning was visiting a prostitute!":

Fan Ning laughed in anger, "Xu Ji, you really know how to make up stories. He actually said that I went to a brothel the night before yesterday. You still have the face to say that you are shameless because of the friendship between classmates in the past?"

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

Fan Ning said coldly: "You swear by others, be careful of retribution!"

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

Master Pang glared at Zhang Yaozuo with dissatisfaction. Who was questioning?

Grand Master Pang asked again: "Fan Ning, is Xu Ji's accusation true?"

Fan Ning calmed himself down. This matter was not as simple as soliciting prostitution. Zhang Yaozuo wanted to use this matter to ruin his future. Maybe he wanted to use this matter to attack his grandfather Fan Zhongyan to enter Beijing. He must not be in a hurry, and he would fall into their trap.

Fan Ning shook his head very calmly, "Qi Ming Tai Shi Pang, Xu Ji's accusations are completely nonsense!"

"Not necessarily!"

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

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

The servant looked at Fanning carefully and nodded, "It's him, I remember it very clearly."

Zhang Yaozuo laughed proudly, "Fan Ning, what else do you have to say?"

Fanning sneered, "What has he proved, can he say it?"

Master Pang was also dissatisfied and said, "What do you say? Why do you think you are like a puzzle? I am confused when I hear it!"

Liu Jin stepped forward and said, "You reported to Grand Master Pang, when the Ministry of Rites inspected yesterday morning, Fan Ning hid in the kitchen of Baifeng Pavilion. At that time, Xiaoguan Xu was there. Fan Ning spent five taels of silver to buy the servant's clothes and pretended to be a brothel and escaped. This is a fact!"

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

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Pang and Prime Minister Song first. If someone kills people in the street, is it the people watching the fun next to him who are considered as murderers?"

Master Pang and Song Yang looked at each other, Master Pang shook his head, "If you just watch the fun, it has nothing to do with the murder!"
