Chapter 19 Kyoto Government Office
Zhou Ji glanced at Guo Baokun, who was wrapped into rice dumplings next to him, and asked knowingly: "Fan Xian, I heard that you beat Guo Baokun, Mr. Guo. I don't know where this Mr. Guo is?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I didn't hit him." Fan Xian waved his hands repeatedly, signaling, "Here, this thing is Guo Baokun."
Guo Baokun, who was already in a rage, was humiliated repeatedly by Fan Xian, and was so angry that he was so angry that he wished he could get up and punch him. He also hated Zhou Ji who was beside him. Send someone to take revenge!
"No noise above the lobby!"
Mei Zhili coughed lightly, patted the gavel, and reprimanded him.
Zhou Ji and Fan Xian clasped their fists in salute, and stepped aside.
"Just now you said that there is still a witness in Fan's residence, is it you?" Mei Zhili has been looking at Zhou Ji since the moment he entered the door, and Fan Ruoruo needless to mention the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, he certainly recognizes it.
The young man who spoke was not expensively dressed, but he had an extraordinary bearing. He vaguely remembered that Fan Xian had made a good friend in the capital these few days, and it seemed that this was the right person.
Zhou Ji clasped his fists and said: "Ji next week, native of Kyoto, stayed in Zuixianju yesterday, can be a witness."
Fan Ruoruo was worried about Fan Xian's safety, and was impatient for a moment, and agreed: "Yes, I was there at the time. Mother Yang said that my brother was on Si Lili's flower boat at that time."
As soon as Fan Ruoruo finished speaking, Fan Ruoruo felt that countless eyes fell on her. If she had heard the words once, she would definitely feel the same way.
‘Social death’.
Fan Xian felt a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat, coughed heavily, and glared at Fan Ruoruo.
As if sensing Fan Xian's killing intent, Zhou Ji quietly avoided his gaze, not daring to meet his gaze.
Mei Zhili twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking that he must not let his daughter fool around with this Miss Fan.
"Since Prince Jing's son, Young Master Zhou, and Miss Si Lili are all willing to testify for Fan Xian, it seems that Fan Xian's attack on Young Master Guo has something else hidden."
"Since Fan Xian has been cleared of suspicion, the judge declared that the case is over."
The gavel was raised, and Mei Zhili was about to perform the Dafa of peace and mud, when he heard a commotion outside the hall.
The armored guards dispersed the crowd, and a carriage stopped at the main entrance of the government office.
"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."
Mei Zhili's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly left his seat to greet him.
The crown prince paid great attention to the ceremony, and he was greeted by a canopy when he came in and out. I saw him pacing in a blue and blue dress, but the canopy behind him couldn't get in for a while because the gate of the mansion was too short.
The prince took a few steps forward and felt something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw the canopy stuck on the threshold and couldn't move.
"You are at the front. You are at the back turning it sideways. Yes. Just go in like this."
Seeing that the canopy was erected again, the prince straightened his sleeves and walked into the courtroom gracefully.
Reminiscent of the second prince he met yesterday, Zhou Ji whispered, "Why are these two princes so weird?"
Fan Xian gave Zhou Ji a sideways look, and dared to take his sister to the brothel, so he didn't want to pay attention to this idiot for the time being.
In the lobby.
Mei Zhili had already stood up to greet the prince entering the mansion, knelt down on the ground, and called out: "His Royal Highness the Prince."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves, brought a wooden stool and sat beside the table, and motioned, "Sit down."
Mei Zhili saw that the prince had already entered the arena, knowing that he had caused a big trouble, so he sat back in his seat tremblingly, not knowing what to do for a while.
Raising the gavel and daring not to drop it, Mei Zhili shrank and looked to the side, and forced a smile: "Your Highness, how do you think this case will be tried?"
"Mei Zhili!" The smirk on the prince's face immediately subsided, and he reprimanded: "You are the Governor of Kyoto! Don't mess up your identity."
This sound made Mei Zhili tremble in fright, and the gavel hanging in the air also fell down.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the lobby was becoming more and more solemn, Fan Xian secretly thought something was wrong, glanced at the pleading paper, looked at the gavel, and Mei Zhili, who didn't know where to put his hands, took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the case The trial is over, and Mr. Mei has settled the case, and Fan has been cleared of suspicion."
The prince's trip was aimed at targeting Fan Xian, how could he listen to his one-sided words, and cast a sidelong glance at Mei Zhili, the scrutiny in his eyes made Mei Zhili shudder.
"There are witnesses." Mei Zhili broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly explained.
"Who is the witness?" The prince turned cold and asked.
"His Royal Highness, Miss Fan of the Fan Mansion, Young Master Zhou and Miss Si Lili."
"Hongcheng is my royal son, so I naturally believe what he said, but Miss Fan is Fan Xian's younger sister, and Mr. Zhou is Fan Xian's friend. How can relatives and friends testify for the suspect?" The prince's voice became louder and louder, " Besides, the editor in the palace was beaten, and I lost the face of the royal family! Si Lili is no match for a brothel girl, such a lowly status, can you tell the truth from the fake with just one sentence!"
The sound of reprimand spread throughout the government office, the prince jumped up against the case, and said in a deep voice: "Let me see, this matter still needs to be investigated strictly!"
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that this matter might not be resolved, so he could only hope that he and Si Lili would withstand the pressure, and that Mei Zhili would not be beaten into a trick.
Fan Ruoruo also felt the seriousness of the matter, and with the attitude of the prince, it seemed that he wanted to confirm the case of his brother beating Guo Baokun.
Right now, it was almost a dead end, and she was anxious but didn't know what to do.
Zhou Ji didn’t expect things to come to this point. He only remembered a rough idea of the original work, and it seemed that there was no such plot. I don’t know if it’s because of his butterfly effect or something else.
But no matter what, as long as Fan Xian's three fathers are still there, they will surely keep him safe.
So, he was not in a hurry, and stood still with a mentality of eating melons and watching a show.
"Young Master Zhou, is there anything you can do to help my brother?"
Zhou Ji heard the soft voice from beside him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
It's just that Miss Si Lili is going to suffer.
He couldn't remember whether there was this paragraph in the original work, but he only remembered that this Si Lili girl was not simple. Not only was she taken into Fan Dapao's house, she was also a Northern Qi spy who had been lurking in the Qing Kingdom for many years.
But, the world now is obviously very different from what he remembers, whether it is Fan Xian's character, character, or Fuji Zijing's origin and background, they are completely different from what he knows.
The general trend does not change, but the minor trend changes.
From the time Si Lili brought him into the lobby until now he was calm and calm, it can be seen that this woman is not as simple as she seems.
Zhou Ji looked at it unconsciously for a while, and suddenly felt a sharp gaze coming from the side, and turned his head, Fan Ruoruo had already looked elsewhere.
What's the meaning?
Frowning slightly, Zhou Ji glanced at Fan Ruoruo, and before he had time to think about it, he heard footsteps walking slowly outside the hall.
The current situation has exceeded Fan Xian's expectations, but it is still within Zhou Ji's control. At least before the person outside the hall leaves, there is still room for this matter to be resolved.
