Strange Biography of Three Kingdoms

Those who were still a little worried at first were relieved.Since it is mediation, there should be nothing wrong.

Qin Feng and Fan Zeng looked at each other, and they both saw the doubt in their eyes. Since it is called mediation, why don't you come out by yourself?Wouldn't the effect be better?

But Gao Lan didn't intend to explain much, and since everyone else said so, the two of them didn't ask any more questions.

After eating and drinking for a while, Gao Lan repeatedly toasted, and finally took the wine glass, walked to Fan Zeng, raised the glass and said, "Come on, Patriarch Fan, how about we drink this glass to get rid of all the past grievances?"

Fan Zeng's expression suddenly became very exciting. Is this the only revenge for killing his son?

While he was hesitating, Gao Lan's face darkened, "Why, Patriarch Fan, do you think that the grievances between you and me are a knot that can't be untied?"

Fan Zeng's face remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Where, it's just my son's matter, I don't know how Gao Taishou will solve it?"

Gao Lan turned around and left, said lightly: "Patriarch Fan has such a good air, he dares not even give the general's face."

Fan Zeng said anxiously: "How dare Fan Mou be disrespectful to the general, it's just that my son died unjustly because of some trivial matters, and Eunuch Gao must give an account of this matter."

Gao Lan walked to the case, put down his wine glass, and nodded, "You're right, it seems that there must be some explanation for this matter."

Fan Zeng stared at him closely.

Gao Lan sat down and asked softly, "Mr. Shen, I want to ask you something."

The examiner smiled and said: "Prefect Gao, but it's okay to say."

"What is the crime of coercing civilian women privately?"

"Depending on the seriousness of the situation, they will be imprisoned or forced labor for five to ten years."

Gao Lan glanced at Fan Zeng, and asked again, "What about embezzling the funds for post-war reconstruction?"

The judge shook his head, "Capital crime, the son of Patriarch Fan, as far as I know, both of these things have been violated."

Chapter 636

Fan Zeng snorted coldly and said, "Don't fool me, don't say that coercing women is a trivial matter, so what if my son is a strong woman? Things that I can solve with money, the prefect Gao and the military officer are a little fussy." right?"

The military inspector sneered in his heart, with a noncommittal face. In other places, these things are really not things, and they are indeed things that can be solved with money. In troubled times, human life is like nothing, and it is not just talk.

"Then let me ask Patriarch Fan, how can you justify your son's embezzlement of public funds?"

"I'm confused about this matter. I'm willing to pay back double the amount of money."

Gao Lan sneered: "Double repayment? Patriarch Fan, your aristocratic families seem to be involved in it, right? It's not just that you said that your son was corrupt."

"Fart," Fan Zeng said anxiously, "How can our aristocratic families be short of money? Are you slandering?"

"Hmph," Gao Lan still sneered, "Fan Zeng, you are snarling and rude in front of me, who gave you the guts? Do you think that if I don't care about you, you will be ruthless?"

Fan Zeng was excited for a while, and he knew that he had gone too far, but he came here today not only to give himself a good face, but also for everyone to look at him, so he could only hold on at the moment, saying: "I apologize. It's just my son's business. If you say we are corrupt, please give me a clear explanation today, Mr. Gao, otherwise those of us who are desperately working for Youzhou will not be chilled."

"That's right, Prefect Gao, we all contributed to the battle in Youzhou, so we can't let our hearts be chilled."

"It's just molesting a commoner girl, but the prefect Gao will kill someone, so I have to give an explanation."

Listening to the discussions below, Gao Lan's face was gloomy, and he gave the examiner a wink.

The judge understood and was about to speak when he heard a burst of applause from behind the screen, "Okay, very good."

Everyone's faces changed suddenly. Although they didn't know who the speaker was, there was probably only one person who dared to speak like this?

Yuan Xi came out slowly, Gao Lan hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I will pay my respects to the lord."

Seeing that it was really Yuan Xi, no one dared to say anything, they all got up and saluted.

Yuan Xi ignored everyone, walked directly to Gao Lan's seat and sat down, said with a smile: "I heard clearly what you said just now, and I planned to come out later, but I am the only one. , Hearing other people's wonderful words, I really can't bear it, so I can only come out earlier."

Fan Zeng and the others looked ugly, but the judge and the others were relieved.Now everything how to do it is left to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at Fan Zeng at the front and sized him up. He saw that this person was wearing a top hat and facing honestly. Although he was a little fat, the overall appearance really gave people a sense of trust.

"Are you Fan Zeng?" Yuan Xi asked.

Fan Zeng's body trembled slightly, but he quickly calmed down, "Back to the general, the Caomin is Fan Zeng."

"Well, just now you said that there is nothing that money can't solve, right?"

This was said in front of the prefect, everyone knew it well, and they meant to point a deer as a horse, but the prefect was different from the general, the local strength was able to withstand the prefect, but compared with Yuan Xi who controlled their destiny, he was a great witch See Xiao Wu, at least on the surface, you can't say that.

He glanced at Gao Lan unobtrusively, but Gao Lan smiled and said nothing.

Fan Zeng secretly resented, he knew Yuan Xi was there, but he never thought that he would eavesdrop behind.

Kneeling on the ground with a "plop", Fan Zeng desperately kowtowed: "Forgive me, General."

"Oh," Yuan Xi looked at him playfully, "Don't you want justice for your son?"

Fan Zeng's face was blue and red, "The grassroots dare not."

"Oh, it's just that you don't dare?" Yuan Xi laughed.

Fan Zeng's complexion changed again, he raised his head and glanced at Yuan Xi, and seeing his mocking expression, a surge of anger rushed to his forehead, he stood up abruptly, and said loudly: "I don't agree."

Yuan Xi slapped his hands twice, "Okay, this is the true nature of a man, just say it if you are not convinced! You can't do the same thing in front of Gao Taishou and me, right?"

Fan Zeng ignored his words, "My son was sentenced to hard labor at most, but the crime was not death-defying. What's more, we all worked hard for Youzhou. General, you can't treat us like this."

"Bang!" Yuan Xi slammed his fist on the table, "You know you broke the law, but you still want to reason with me? Fan Zeng, let me ask you, do you and your son ignore the laws of Youzhou?"

"I didn't," Fan Zeng said loudly, "my son just broke the law carefully, my son already knew his mistake, but prefect Gao must kill my son, my son was wronged."

After saying that, he looked at the people behind him.

"General, in extraordinary times, we should use extraordinary laws. Patriarch Fan's son is indeed worthy of death."

"Yes, General, we will fight to the death for Youzhou, but we are people who have made great contributions to the Yuan family."

Gao Lan cursed angrily, "A bunch of trash, tell me, why did you make such great achievements?"

"I sent 80 people from my family to the city wall to help in the battle. How can I say that I have no credit?" Someone immediately refuted him.

"Me too, the old man's eldest son, led thirty house slaves to go out of the city to pursue the enemy. This happened not long ago."

Everyone was discussing, Yuan Xi patted the table, and said calmly: "The laws of our Youzhou, pay attention to punishment for offenses and rewards for meritorious deeds. Dare I ask you, when you make meritorious deeds, have you been rewarded?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, their hearts trembling. These things were not only rewarded, they almost became the capital for bragging after dinner.

"Let me ask you again, you are fighting for Youzhou, just for my Yuan family? Didn't you fight for the people of Youzhou, but for yourself?"
