Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

puff!

A mouthful of tea squirted onto the ground. Fan Xin and Princess Taiping looked at each other and both looked at the young man.

"What did you say your name was?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Fan Xin really couldn't believe that there were still people pretending to be him these days.

You must know that he holds official positions in other places all year round, and his time in Luoyang is only a handful. The only people who have seen him are the Queen Mother and some ministers.

How does the shabby young man in front of him know about him?

There is also a woman who has been hungry for days just by looking at her. From every aspect, she looks nothing like the plump Princess Taiping.

Seeing the shocked looks on both Fan and Xin's faces, the young man coughed somewhat proudly.

"Yes, I am the world-famous Fan Xin, nicknamed Fan Qingtian!"

Upon discovering that this man was openly pretending to be her own man, Princess Taiping's pretty face sank, and she wanted to order the guards to capture him.

Fan Xin held down his white and tender hands and gave up with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, your words are really unbelievable. Can you show me the voucher?

He wanted to see if the other party was using his name to deceive or had a hidden purpose.

The young man was not surprised at all by Fan Xin's reaction, which was very open and forthright.

"Of course. After all, I have a great reputation and everyone knows about it. You will inevitably be surprised when you hear it."

"However, I am investigating an important case under the entrustment of the Queen Mother. You must keep a low profile and not reveal my identity."

After that, he took out two large seals from his arms and placed them in front of Fan Xin.

"You see clearly, this is my official seal."

The corner of Fan Xin's mouth twitched, and he was almost shocked to the point of chin. He didn't expect that there were people in the Tang Dynasty who used carrots to carve seals.

That’s all for the radish, the key is to pickle the radish!

Forcibly suppressing his smile, Fan Xin held his hand in admiration.

"It turns out to be the famous Fan Siqing. He is so famous that it is better to meet him and admire him for a long time."

"There is no need for Jiuyang. I am usually the most honest person. A leg of lamb is enough to satisfy my hunger."

"Well, you'll have to pay for the mutton and fried noodles."

"When I finish investigating the major case, I will personally say hello to the court, and I will grant you a village title."

The young man helped the woman draw a big pie for the two of them and walked out the door.

Looking at their backs, Princess Taiping said displeasedly.

"This man is cheating and drinking in your name. Why don't you just arrest him and hand him over to Dali Temple for interrogation?"

"Don't touch them yet. This person has calluses on his hands and strong feet. He doesn't look like an idle person. He should have some background."

"Let's take a look first. It won't be too late to arrest them after we figure out their purpose."

Putting the money on the table, Fan Xin and Princess Taiping walked along the market.

Although the two of them had set a wedding date and were just around the corner to become husband and wife, Fan Xin wanted to spend more time with Princess Taiping before that.

Suddenly, the front became crowded, and countless people gathered towards the temple fair.

"Old man, today is not the day for the temple fair. Is there anything going on when everyone gathers in front of the temple?"

The old man looked back and saw that the speaker was a handsome young man, and sighed.

"Young master, you don't know. We are here to set up a memorial tablet for Fan Siqing."

"Ask the old man to show his spirit and rescue those innocent deserters arrested by the government."

"Desert?" Fan Xin frowned: "Then why didn't you go to Dali Temple to find Fan Siqing instead of coming here to offer incense?"

"Young master, I don't know. People in Dali Temple said that Fan Shaoqing went home on leave and went out with the princess. The huge grievance cannot be accepted until he comes back."

"We had no choice but to come to the temple fair to ask Fan Qingtian to show his spirit and save the lives of those deserters."

Seeing that these people respected Fan Xin so much, a flash of surprise flashed in Princess Taiping's beautiful eyes.

"In the past, this princess thought you only had some prestige in other places."

"I didn't expect it to be so popular in Luoyang."

Fan Xin glared at him and walked towards the center of the temple fair.

As we got closer, we saw a tall immortal statue standing on the steps, and the name was exactly the word Fan Xin.

In front of the tablet, Fan Xin accidentally spotted a familiar figure.

"Hey, isn't this Fan Siqing? Why are you here too?"

"Ha, it's your Excellency."

Finding it was Fan Xin, the young man awkwardly said hello.

"I happened to be passing by the temple fair and wanted to take a look."

Having said that, the young man's eyes were always fixed on the longevity tablet.

Seeing this, Fan Xin asked curiously.

"The temple minister seems to have great respect for this longevity tablet?"

Hearing these words, the young man nodded with emotion.

"Yes, in the first battle of Wu Shui, he would rather die than take a step back to cover the evacuation of the people."

"Later, when he was guarding Yingzhou, he was seriously injured and almost died on the road."

Having said this, the young man rubbed his eyes and continued.

"In order to give an explanation to the fallen soldiers, he did not hesitate to use all his money to provide compensation to their families, but he was reluctant to even buy a decent cotton robe."

"The Queen Mother still couldn't stand it. She gave him a few pieces before he had new clothes to wear."

The young man took a deep breath and looked at Fan Xin with red eyes.

“Let me ask, shouldn’t such good officials who treat their subordinates like robes and have the common people in their hearts not be respected?

Fan Xin was silent. He didn't expect that what he did had such a big impact on the world.

Being an official in this life is worth it.

Princess Taiping had a proud expression on her face, her face was also glowing because her man was so powerful.

a long time.

Fan Xin wiped the corners of his eyes and said to the young man with a smile.

"Your Excellency's words are really touching, but aren't you Fan Siqing?

The young man was startled, then scratched his head and said, "Really, I forgot that I was talking about myself."

"Then I have something else to do. Let's talk some other time. Say goodbye!"

"Fan Siqing, walk slowly!"

Watching the young man leave, Fan Xin shook his head and continued walking with Princess Taiping. He didn't pay much attention to the deserter.

The imperial court has strict identification procedures, and it is impossible for the Three Law Divisions to frame good people at will.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the two found an inn for a short rest.

Just as I was about to ask the waiter to bring the food, I heard the voice of the diner next door.

"Have you heard that the soldiers who escaped in Yingzhou were all brought back, there were dozens of them.

"It seems that we will be asking for death tomorrow at 3:00 noon."

"Hey, this is the second batch. When will it end?"

"Don't officials have any responsibility for losing to the Khitans? We can't always blame the deserters."

"Shh, keep your voice down...

Looking away, Fan Xin said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Why didn't the Lord of this temple know about the killing of so many captains and officers?"

Since ancient times, killing is not a trivial matter. It must be tried and convicted by the Three Justices and reported to the court with the permission of the Queen Mother before killing.

Not to mention killing in large numbers, he, the minister of Dali Temple, didn't know about such an important matter.

"This matter is an important case that was recommended by the Minister of War, verified by the Senate and the Internal Guard, and directly ordered to be executed by the empress. The Three Laws Department is only executing it." Princess Taiping said calmly.

Fan Xin suddenly realized.

No wonder people can be executed directly with just one order without even a trial. It turns out that the special yamen is responsible.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the two people.

"Brother, the batch of deserters who will be killed tomorrow at 3:00 noon are related to important clues.

"I would like to give you a chance to make contributions, do you want to?
