"**, sixteen... It seems that you have a soft spot for sixteen years old, and you can be considered dedicated to it." At this point, a smile appeared on Pan Zhuqing's cold face, but this smile made Tong Xian feel deep in his bones.
cold.
Even though the sun is scorching hot, I don't feel any warmth at all.
"I haven't done it!" Tong Xian told himself that as long as he didn't admit it, it would be fine. After all, he was a popular person around the emperor, and Pan Zhuqing would never dare to give in.
Pan Zhuqing smiled and asked lightly: "You mean they wronged you?"
"Yes! They spit blood!" Tong Xian was scared and angry, her chest heaved violently, and she no longer looked at Pan Zhuqing.
Pan Zhuqing didn't say much nonsense and immediately called to his subordinates behind him: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"Bring those people up."
"yes."
"You keep saying that they wronged you, so you should confront each other in person. I have a lot of patience." After saying that, Pan Zhuqing lazily leaned back on the chair, turned the ring in his hand, and looked at the embarrassed Tong Xian in front of him in a funny way.
Pan Zhuqing knew their concerns very well. These young people had already lost their dignity and courage under Tong Xian's power. What he had to do was to lend them his dignity and courage. So he stepped forward and stood in the way of the three of them.
Tong Xian seemed to have erected a strong and powerful barrier with himself, and then said loudly: "Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you now, neither him nor the gang of bastards under him."
The first person who was worried and raised his head to identify Tong Xian was Yu Shangen, a young cattle herder. "He...he...is the one who forced me to do that shameless thing!" When he raised his head, his eyes were full of blood.
His tearful eyes shocked many people present.
Someone started it, so the remaining two victims naturally had nothing to worry about.
"If I don't agree, he will have someone beat me... His men beat me..." ** also cried and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the eye-catching whip marks.
Without saying a word, Chen Xiaoqi knelt in front of Pan Zhuqing and knocked his head heavily on the ground: "Please make the decision for us, sir!"
Pan Zhuqing looked back at Tong Xian, who also had ferocious eyes. He pointed his finger at the three teenagers and yelled: "Who are you? Who sent you to wrongly accuse me?"
Pan Zhuqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard his sophistry. At this point, this Tong Xian was trying hard to prove the thickness of his face. "He said you wronged him, do you have any evidence to prove what you said?" He turned his face.
Glancing at the three teenagers, he finally asked the question that completely broke Tong Xian: "For example... what are the characteristics of him?"
The teenagers all lowered their heads and thought for a while. First, Chen Xiaoqi bit his lip and said hesitantly: "Sir... I remember... there is a black spot in the shape of an ingot on his thigh."
Yu Shangen then added the fatal blow: "And... to report back to the Lord... when the villain resisted, he bit him once, on his shoulder..."
Pan Zhuqing nodded expressionlessly and said to the jailers beside him: "Still stunned? Let's take action."
As soon as he finished speaking, those burly men who had already been gearing up and eager to try decisively opened the cell door and hunched into the cell. Under Tong Xian's useless resistance, they tore his clothes.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Get away, don't touch me! Get away! Get your dirty hands off!"
"Pan Zhuqing! You will not die well! You will suffer retribution!"
Tong Xian, who was in tattered clothes, was cursing and screaming, and the three teenagers also lowered their heads and sobbed silently. The officials did not find this scene as funny or as relieving as they expected. Instead, they all had a lump in their throats and felt extremely uncomfortable. Tong Xian
It is a monster created by this era and the supreme political power that has shrouded the Central Plains. He is not the first, nor is he the only one, nor will he be the last...
Pan Zhuqing stared at Tong Xian, who was shivering in the corner and was silent for a long time. Finally, he said in a cold tone: "You feel humiliated? You feel humiliated because you are so shameless. What about them? They are only teenagers, and there are still dozens of others.
If you have to live for years, what do you want them to do?"
Tong Xian, who was forced into a back alley, was now desperate. He stared back at Pan Zhuqing with blood-red eyes, and said in a most contemptuous tone: "Don't pretend to be a saint! We both know what you are.
!You are not qualified to teach me a lesson!"
Pan Zhuqing said nothing, still looking at him quietly, as if waiting for him to finish speaking.
"As an official of the imperial court and a minister of the emperor, you are really proud of the emperor! You covet other people's wives! Why do you say that I am shameless? Do you want shame?"
Tong Xian's accusation made everyone present except himself and Pan Zhuqing dumbfounded. Just as he was about to speak again, two jailers around him grabbed his throat. In pain, he could only make a weak sound of struggle.
:"let me go!"
"Let him go." Pan Zhuqing still had the same tepid attitude. He walked to the cell door and said to Tong Xian indifferently: "I will escort you back to Kaifeng soon. When the time comes, you can go and talk to the emperor."
As promised, I won't stop you."
After saying that, he ordered his subordinates: "Let's go, we'll get here first today." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and strode away. He was too lazy to pay attention to the irritating and disgusting shouts and curses behind him.
Stepping out of the dark dungeon, Pan Zhuqing took a deep breath of fresh air and suddenly felt much better. As soon as he walked to the carriage, he heard someone calling him from behind.
"grown ups!"
He looked back and saw that it was the three victimized teenagers. They all had red faces and seemed to have something to say. "Is there anything else?" he asked coldly.
"Thank you, Master Pan, for making the decision for us. If Master Pan hadn't come, we, the powerless common people, would have had no choice but to be exploited and live without dignity at all!" Yu Shangen, who has the most straightforward personality, left Pan Zhuqing stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
Now.
Then came Chen Xiaoqi: "No matter what that beast says, your Excellency is a good person! He is also a good official!"
Pan Zhuqing didn't hear a word of what they said next. He couldn't understand it himself. He could still face Tong Xian's curses calmly, but at this moment, his mind went blank.
, even... even a little overwhelmed.
After a while, he calmed down and said calmly: "Let's go home."
At this moment, in a carriage driving slowly on the street, Gong Yueyue, Fang Zhiwen, Xiaomei and Tian Hai were all watching everything with interest.
"I heard that Master Pan's arrest of Tong Xian this time has won the hearts of the people." When mentioning this matter, Fang Zhiwen's expression and tone were full of joy and relaxation. His disgust and fear of Tong Xian were due to
Quite intuitive and profound.
Gong Yueyue knew what he was thinking and said with a smile: "I know, even you are happy too."
Fang Zhiwen said seriously: "Madam, you don't understand that ordinary people don't want much. It doesn't matter if life is hard, but the most terrifying thing is to be abused by others. This feeling is really worse than death. Although I don't like Pan very much.
Sir, but this time, he really did a great thing."
Tian Hai clicked his tongue and said in an old-fashioned way: "But I still don't like him very much. I always feel that he is a bit sinister. In comparison, his brother is so good!"
Xiaomei retorted disapprovingly: "Really? But more than a year ago, could you imagine that the evil boy was the Dongdu Xia?" At that time, Pan Jingyuan was hated by everyone. From time to time, she heard Tian Hai scolding him behind his back.
Mr. Pan is a villain who is full of evil deeds.
Gong Yueyue lazily leaned on the soft cushion and said leisurely: "Xiaomei is right, you can't just look at the surface of everything. And you have to look at people in two. You think Pan Zhuqing is scary, but those ordinary people just now...
, and also includes the fact that in the eyes of Young Master Fang, he, Pan Zhuqing, is a magic weapon descended from heaven." Putting aside the ambiguous feelings between Pan Zhuqing and her, and putting aside some of his extremely ruthless methods, in Gong Yueyue's mind, Pan Zhuqing
At least he is a good official. She would not have expected now that her objective and fair evaluation of him would save his life in the near future.
Pan Zhuqing's carriage walked for more than a mile and suddenly stopped in front of a medicine shop.
A girl in front of the drug store was carrying a large bag of medicine and was about to leave. However, she was startled by a familiar face on the carriage in front of her: "Brother Pan..." This girl is now living in Zhao Mansion.
Fu Yun in.
"Where are you going? I'll see you off." No matter how indifferent Pan Zhuqing was, she still had the demeanor of a man. The drug store was still several miles away from Zhao's mansion, and it seemed quite difficult for her to carry heavy objects in her hands.
It was rare for Fu Yun to see his sweetheart, so there was no way he could be coy and pretentious. He lowered his head and obediently let him help him onto the carriage.
But Pan Zhuqing was not an enthusiastic man. Although he invited her to get in the car, he had no intention of chatting with her. His brain was soon immersed in cases large and small.
Fortunately, Fu Yun doesn't have a fiery and noisy personality. Sitting opposite him did not disturb his meditation at all. Although she looked very quiet on the outside, she was actually indescribably happy inside. Being able to sit with him so close,
Seeing his face clearly and smelling his scent was already very lucky for her. She didn't dare to expect anything else.
The carriage carried two men and women with completely opposite thoughts, driving slowly in the same direction on the bluestone road. Pan Zhuqing's running thoughts quickly swept across the north and south of the Yangtze River, passing through the Chang'an Hua Luoyang River, and finally stopped at the scene he had just experienced before him.
.
"Don't pretend to be a saint! You are not qualified to teach me a lesson!"
"You covet other people's wives! Why do you say I'm shameless? Do you want shame?"
"No matter what that beast says, your Excellency is a good man! He is also a good official!"
Tong Xian's ferocious face and the three victimized teenagers took turns appearing in his mind, and accusations and praises hit his cold heart at the same time. For some reason, today, he was touched in a way that he had never been before. (Unfinished)
