Mercenaries of the Heavens

Chapter 358 Fan Xian and Guo Baokun confront the court

Guo Baokun on the ground didn't think about it. He wanted the government to punish Fan Xian, so he didn't care about it. He entered the government and lost face to the Guo family.

Hearing Fan Xian's words, Guo Baokun called out:

"Okay! As the victim of the beating, I just want to go to court and sue him for beating the imperial court official! Whoops!"

Seeing this, Wang Zhi said to the crowd:

"Why is it so difficult to have a good meal! Let's go, let's go and have a look, and be a witness for Fan Xian!"

After speaking, he led everyone downstairs.

At this time, Fan Xian and Guo Baokun, who was helped by the guards who climbed up, arrived at the government office together.

After hearing the report from his subordinates in the government office of the capital, the governor also felt quite a headache.

A son from the Shangshu family and a young man from the servant's family, neither of them are easy to get along with, so this case is difficult to solve.

While he was thinking about how to smooth things out and not offend, Fan Xian, Guo Baokun, and He Zongwei all came up to the hall.

Wang Zhi, the guards of Guo's mansion and others could not go forward, and were stopped outside the lobby by the Yamen.

Fu Yin, who was sitting at the top, saw three people standing in the hall, so he asked:
"You three, who is the plaintiff and who is the defendant?"

Guo Baokun wanted to speak, but he acted as if he was in pain.

He hesitated to speak several times, looking quite miserable.

He Zongwei on the side, in order to hug Guo's thigh, stepped forward without hesitation and said:
"My lord, student He Zongwei has something to say!"

Fu Yin cast a displeased glance at He Zongwei, knowing that he is a well-known talent in the capital, so it is not good to scold him harshly, so he said in a bad tone:
"Oh, let's hear what you have to say!"

He Zongwei cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, today the students had a verbal dispute with Guo Baokun and Guo Gongzi with Fan Xian on the street. Fan Xian punched and kicked Guo Gongzi, causing Guo Gongzi to be severely injured and unable to speak. I will make the statement on my behalf. Please make a decision!"

Fan Xian glanced at Guo Baokun strangely, and thought:

its not right!When we were on the street earlier, didn't Guo Baokun shout for joy?Now, why can't I speak.

How did he know that the two of them had already discussed on the road at this time, it was best not to talk in class, it was better for He Zongwei to state the case.

This is also intentional in order to highlight the fact that Guo Baokun was seriously injured by Fan Xian.

Fu Yin looked at Fan Xian at the side, and asked:

"Fan Xian, what Mr. He said is the truth?"

Hearing this, Fan Xian bowed and said:

"I did hit Mr. Guo with my hands, but..."

Before Fan Xian finished speaking, he was interrupted by He Zongwei:

"Your Excellency, look! Fan Xian has admitted to your Excellency, and please your Excellency to convict Fan Xian of beating court officials in the street!"

Guo Baokun also looked at Fan Xian triumphantly, and then turned his gaze to Fu Yin, waiting for Fu Yin to pronounce the sentence.

Fan Xian said:

"My lord, I haven't finished my words yet!"

Fu Yin heard the words and hurriedly said:

"Oh, keep going!"

Fan Xian said unhurriedly:
"I beat Guo Baokun for a reason! The thing is like this..."

Fan Xian recounted the cause and process of the incident, and then said:

"Let me ask, if someone wants to beat me to death in the street, should I fight back?

My lord, should I count this as self-defense? "

Hearing the words, Fu Yin already had calculations in his heart, so he asked Guo Baokun:
"Mr. Guo, did you ever say that you want your guards to kill Mr. Fan?"

Guo Baokun saw that things had changed, and it was fine if he couldn't sue Fan Xian. If he did what he wanted to kill Fan Xian, even his father would be implicated, so he broke out in sweat profusely.

He Zongwei defended himself by saying:

"My lord, that's just Mr. Guo's angry words, don't take it seriously!"

After finishing the words, Fan Xian quietly said:
"Oh! If you want to say that, Mr. Guo is just speaking out of anger, so why did the guards of the Guo family rush at me in a swarm, wanting to beat me up?

If it weren't for my martial arts skills, wouldn't I be beaten to death by his subordinates in the street!

Only in this way can he be regarded as Mr. Guo, who violated the laws of Nanqing.

And as long as I fight back, is it because Mr. Guo was in a hurry and made an inappropriate move? "

He Zongwei was rendered speechless by Fan Xian's words, and he couldn't answer directly.

Guo Baokun was also dumbfounded, and in a moment of impatience, he said:
"That's because you insulted my father with words, and I was so impatient that I asked the guards to do it!"

When Fan Xian heard this, he looked surprised and said:
"Didn't this Mr. He just say that Mr. Guo was seriously injured by me and could not speak?
Now, how can you speak so neatly! "

Guo Baokun was stunned when he heard the words, and could only say one word:

"I....."

He Zongwei sighed helplessly, and said in his heart:
This Mr. Guo usually looks quite clever!
How can it be useless at a critical moment?
Only then did Fan Xian continue to say:
"My lord, the matter is already clear, so can I count it as self-defense?"

Fu Yin heard the words, nodded, and said to Guo Baokun:
"Mr. Guo, are you willing to admit what Mr. Fan said, that you took people on the street to commit murder first, and Mr. Fan defended himself later?"

Guo Baokun is not stupid, he is not willing to admit the crime of committing murder in the street, he hastily said:

"Nothing! It's just a verbal quarrel, friction, and fighting with each other!"

These words came too fast, and while Fan Xian was helpless, he also heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, the crime of beating court officials was not something Fan Xian could easily bear.

Seeing that things had finally turned for the better, Fu Yin hurriedly said:

"Since this is the case, then the matter between you should be fined a hundred taels of silver according to Nanqing's law!

You guys, are you convinced? "

Fan Xian knew about this, so he did so, so he bowed and said:

"Master is wise!"

Guo Baokun and He Zongwei looked at each other helplessly, then bowed and said:

"I'm waiting to be convinced!"

Seeing that the matter was settled satisfactorily, Fu Yin smiled and asked someone to write a punishment letter for the two of them, asked them to sign their names, and slipped back to the back hall.

When Fan Xian and Guo Baokun paid their fines and walked out of the courtroom, Guo Baokun gave Fan Xian a hard look and said:

"Fan Xian, everything makes you proud!
Sooner or later, I will settle this matter with you!
snort!wait and see! "

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and with the support of the guards, got into the sedan chair and walked away.

Seeing Guo Baokun and his party leave, Fan Ruoruo let go of his raised heart, and then stepped forward, grabbed Fan Xian's sleeve and said:
"Brother! Fortunately, you caught the fault of the Guo family, otherwise, it would be dangerous!"

Wang Zhi said:

"Ruo Ruo, you are so smart, can't you see it!

Was Fan Xian deliberately provoking Guo Baokun and asking him to strike first, so that he beat Guo Baokun in an aboveboard way to vent his anger on his guard, Teng Zijing? "
