When Fang Yuan arrived with more than 20 guards including Xue Rengui and Gouzi.
Fires broke out all over the Mohist Research Institute, accompanied by noise and fighting.
But they are all in the courtyard of the Mohist Research Institute, not in the ten-story star observation tower.
"Stop!"
Fang Yuan arrived.
More than just the chaos at the scene.
Many people fell to the ground at the scene.
There are members of the Mo Family Research Institute and government officials.
"Master!"
"Dean!"
The members of the Mohist Research Institute were overjoyed.
They all stopped fighting with the government officials and moved closer to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan sat on the horse and saw that many members of the Mohist Academy who were approaching were injured.
"Whoever calls the shots, stand up!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
His sharp eyes searched for familiar figures in the scene.
But because of the night, I couldn’t see who was with whom even with the lights on, and I couldn’t see anyone clearly.
"Shilang Fang wants to interfere with my investigation?"
Cui Yuanting emerged from the darkness.
Behind him was Zheng Mingzhu, who lowered his head and did not dare to look at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan also found that Zheng Jiu, Luo Zheng and others were also following him, nodding in the general direction of Fang Yuan.
There are a few others whom Fang Yuan doesn't know, and they are probably Cui Yuanting's confidants, who specialize in protecting his safety.
"Don't you know how to salute your superiors when you see them?"
Fang Yuan jumped off the horse and walked towards Cui Yuanting.
Xue Rengui quickly followed and protected Fang Yuan.
"My lower official, Cui Yuanting, pays my respects to Mr. Fang!"
Cui Yuanting smiled stiffly, and the corners of his mouth twitched in salute.
Use your position as a high-ranking official to pressure yourself, and you will have a good time tonight.
"Why check the Mohist Research Institute?"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
As soon as I took office, I checked the Mohist Research Institute.
Naked provocation, naked revenge.
"The Mohist Research Institute is suspected of harboring a murderer, and the official is conducting a routine search!"
Cui Yuanting said with a faint smile.
Everything about harboring murderers is false.
It’s just using the authority in your hands to cause trouble.
As the order of Chang'an, he has certain rights to do whatever he wants.
Fang Yuan also had such rights when he was the Chang'an Order, but Fang Yuan had no use for it.
But it was also because of the powerful power issue that Fang Yuan recruited so many people when he was the Chang'an Order.
"Cui Ling is really surprising."
"I just arrived in Chang'an City this afternoon and already took over the murder case."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Good guy, he is a murderer as soon as he opens his mouth.
The murder case is huge, and it is quite clever to use the murder case to cause destruction.
"I'm just in my place."
"Servant Fang, please step aside and let me investigate."
Cui Yuanting said with a victorious smile.
Investigate the Mohist Research Institute and know everything about the Mohist Research Institute. This is what many aristocratic families want to know.
The Mohist Research Institute has many valuable things, such as cement, which is of great value.
There is also the anti-counterfeiting technology of banknotes. The Bolingcui family internally suspects that it was launched from the Mohist Research Institute, and has been eyeing the Mohist Research Institute for a long time.
They have long wanted to see what is worth copying in the Mohist Research Institute. If they copy them all back, the Tang Dynasty treasure banknote will be useless.
There was not much opposition to Fang Yuan's promotion from Chang'an Order to Minister of Household Affairs, not only because of the recommendations of several big bosses, but also because these aristocratic families had no objections.
Fang Yuan doesn't know this.
"Don't you know the murderer's name and appearance?"
Fang Yuan did not give way, but asked with a sneer.
"I know, my name is Fang Qiu Ming, and I have the same surname as Shilang Fang."
"I wonder if Mr. Fang knows this person?"
Cui Yuanting chuckled.
"I don't know."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me."
"Just ask Mr. Fang to make way."
Cui Yuanting took a step forward and looked at Fang Yuan.
He wanted to go in and search because Fang Yuan had no reason to refuse.
For such a big thing as harboring a murderer, you can investigate almost anywhere.
"There is no such person in the Mohist Research Institute. Cui Ling should check elsewhere."
Fang Yuan did not give way and said calmly.
Do you want to give the Mohist Research Institute unwarranted charges?
It's a pity that Cui Yuanting was wrong and should not have been harboring a murderer.
Since the last time someone hid the Supreme Queen here, the Mohist Research Institute has designed another level of defense.
It is easy to enter the courtyard, but it is difficult to enter the Mohist Academy. You have to check your identity at least three times before you can enter.
The first identity is to confirm that the person and the name of the card are the same, the first identity is to confirm that the person and the archived portrait are consistent, and the last identity is to determine whether the person knows the person.
Originally, the Mohist Research Institute was not open to the public. The people inside were all employees of the Mohist Research Institute. After many layers of identity verification, even mosquitoes could not get in.
"Doesn't it mean that Mr. Fang said there is no one?"
Cui Yuanting chuckled and said coldly.
"Yes, if I say no, there won't be."
Fang Yuan said firmly.
"Shilang Fang, can you guarantee that?"
Cui Yuanting frowned and thought of something.
A fourth-grade official said that there were no criminals inside, and the three major agencies had to consider whether to force the investigation.
If there is a forced investigation, unless it is really found that there are criminals involved, the consequences will not be very good and they will be held accountable.
A fourth-grade official could meet with the emperor. After the emperor found out about the matter, the emperor found out that the matter was false, which was another huge blow to him.
But it’s okay, Cui Yuanting has another plan.
"Not bad."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"Then I still want to go in and check."
"If no clues can be found, I am willing to take responsibility."
Cui Yuanting said firmly.
It doesn’t matter if there’s no one inside, just do something.
Just throw in some evidence and things will fall into place.
"No, I refuse."
Fang Yuan shook his head and chuckled.
He guessed Cui Yuanting's trick.
But it's a pity that Fang Yuan used this trick when he was the county magistrate.
Frame-up and frame-up are all trivial matters. Some powerful people directly convict others and don’t even bother to frame them.
"Shilang Fang wants to interfere with my investigation?"
Cui Yuanting's eyes darkened and he said seriously.
"Yes."
"You can complain to His Majesty!"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, not afraid at all.
The main reason is that the Mohist Research Institute is clean and there is no need to worry about being investigated.
So I would rather make a big fuss and have the emperor intervene than let Cui Yuanting investigate.
"It's a pity that Mr. Fang has served in the Chang'an Order."
"Why has the minister become so arrogant after only a few days?"
In the crowd, someone suddenly spoke strangely.
Everyone at the scene was in an uproar and looked in the direction of the sound.
How dare someone dare to make a big show of mocking a fourth-grade official?
Only Fang Yuan and Cui Yuanting looked the same, because they both knew who was coming.
Not long after, Cui Zhentang walked out.
"Shilang Fang, we meet again."
"Please get out of the way. I also suspect that the Mohist Research Institute is harboring murderers."
Cui Zhentang said with a half-smile.
He has been waiting for Fang Yuan for a long time.
Even if I can't make Fang Yuan look bad today, I still have to frame him severely.
Fang Qiu Ming, right? Tomorrow there will be a murderer named Fang Qiu Ming in Chang'an City, who is suspected to be hidden by the Mohist Research Institute.
Moreover, his surname is Fang, so he is probably a fellow villager of Fang Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"It's useless to doubt."
"If I say no, I won't."
Fang Yuan emphasized.
"Shilang Fang, if you can guarantee that there is no such thing, I can also guarantee that there is."
"If you insist on stopping me, don't blame Chang'an for forcing you to search."
Cui Zhentang chuckled.
Although Fang Yuan is a fourth-grade official.
But the Chang'an Order has unique rights to investigate.
After a forced investigation, we will get some incriminating evidence inside.
Even if Fang Yuan didn't hide it secretly, he still couldn't explain it clearly.
"You can try it!"
Fang Yuan shrugged and said disapprovingly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Bowu took a step forward.
Gouzi and other guards all raised their small Zhuge Liannu.
Members of the Mohist Academy such as Juzi and Zhou Shi also glared at Cui Zhentang and others. They even took out real weapons and were ready to fight back at any time.
Before Fang Yuan came just now, the members of the Mo Academy did not dare to go too far. Now that Fang Yuan is here, even if they kill people, Fang Yuan will block them.
"What are you doing standing still?"
"Give it to me!"
Cui Yuanting's face darkened and he scolded.
What he was angry about was not that Fang Yuan was so arrogant, but that the government servant behind him was so incompetent.
As soon as Fang Yuan's voice fell, his people immediately got ready and were full of momentum.
On the other hand, except for a few people brought from home who made some moves, no other government officials made any move.
Even when he scolded him, the county magistrate Zheng Mingzhu would selectively lower his head, as if his feet were born on the ground.
Cui Yuanting knew that Fang Yuan had served as the Chang'an Order and had some prestige in the county government, but he did not expect that the prestige was so high.
After all, he has only been in office for so long, how can he be loved by so many people? And more importantly, as the emperor and his ministers, aren't they afraid of making things difficult for them afterwards?
Following Cui Yuanting's scolding, a group of people still stood up. They were the government officials before Fang Yuan took office. A good number of them stood up.
"Follow me!"
"I don't believe that anyone dares to stop Chang'an County Government from doing its work!"
"I will only warn you once. If you obstruct the county government's work, you will be jailed for half a year!"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
He risked his life, but he didn't believe that Fang Yuan really dared to stop him.
I represent the Chang'an County Government and follow the normal investigation process.
Although Fang Qiuming is fake, Cui Zhentang is here, which shows that the family attaches great importance to this matter.
It is not impossible to make use of family connections to have a party appear out of thin air. There is no need to worry about the emperor investigating.
"Up!"
Cui Zhentang also shouted loudly.
He also couldn't stand Fang Yuan's attitude.
Walk side by side with Cui Yuanting and head towards Fang Yuan.
Some of the government officials behind him followed and forced towards Fang Yuan
Zheng Mingzhu, Zheng Jiu and others looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
They definitely don't want to confront Fang Yuan and raid the Mo Institute.
But Cui Yuanting's attitude is so resolute. If they do nothing, they will easily be held accountable for disobeying orders.
After thinking for a while, they both followed, but slowly, deliberately keeping a distance from the front.
"I'll give you a warning too!"
"The Mohist Research Institute is not harboring criminals!"
"And His Majesty has promised to take care of the Mohist Research Institute!"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Up!"
Cui Yuanting and Cui Zhentang looked at each other and shouted.
They did not believe that Fang Yuan had the emperor's promise, and he must have deliberately moved it out to scare them and others.
If there was really the emperor's permission, then Fang Yuan would have taken it out from the beginning and there would be no need to waste so much breath.
Cui Yuanting and Cui Zhentang were already very close to Fang Yuan. After shouting, they both rushed forward to improve their morale.
"Humph!"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly.
A lunge, then a kick.
With a bang, Cui Zhentang was kicked back by Fang Yuan.
He didn't react in time and couldn't believe that Fang Yuan really dared to take action.
After being kicked away, he realized that Fang Yuan wanted to fight with them.
At this moment, Cui Zhentang was so angry that he fell to the ground and screamed, then rushed towards Fang Yuan.
At this time, Xue Rengui, Gou Zi and others all took action and rushed towards Cui Yuanting and others, and a chaotic battle began.
Xue Rengui is very powerful. He knocked down Cui Yuanting with one punch, and then felt like he was sweeping through an army, knocking down many of the front-line government officials.
After Gouzi and others rushed up, the government servant who rushed up in front was quickly knocked down, and the melee quickly became one-sided.
Seeing this, Zheng Jiu and others rushed forward, but they quickly fell down. Some of them fell down before they started fighting with Gou Zi and others.
"Stop!"
Cui Yuanting roared like a wounded beast.
He struggled to stand up from the ground with a terrifying expression.
Xue Rengui's punch just now made him feel like he had gone to the King of Hell.
Not to mention that I grew up with fine clothes and good food, but these years have been filled with stars.
Cui Yuanting was furious when he was knocked down and still so rudely.
The melee at the scene slowly stopped.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t stop.
Most of the people Cui Yuanting brought over fell to the ground.
On Fang Yuan's side, almost no one fell to the ground.
"Fang Yuan, Fang Shilang, enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.
He vowed not to give up until Fang Yuan was killed today.
Zheng Mingzhu, who was lying on the ground pretending to be injured, felt bitter in her heart.
Sure enough, things have progressed to the point of entering the palace to meet the saint.
It is estimated that the consequences for Fang Yuan will not be very good, after all, there is no reason.
And the other party is the Bolingcui family with the fifth surname and Qiwang.
I really have to think carefully about whether I should listen to Cui Yuanting.
"What are you doing in the palace?"
Fang Yuan walked out and said with a slight smile.
"Don't you promise?"
"Don't you dare to stop it?"
"Why don't you dare to confront me with the emperor now!"
Cui Yuanting looked ugly and said in a deep voice.
He stared at Fang Yuan, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"Should you go to the emperor for such a trivial matter?"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said.
"If you don't come in, we will!"
Cui Zhentang interjected.
He hated Fang Yuan so much that he didn't want to say another word to Fang Yuan.
Go to the emperor, let him make the decision, and see if the emperor will favor him.
"Wait a minute, before you enter the palace, I have something to show you."
Fang Yuan stopped the two of them.
Only then did Cui Zhentang and Cui Yuanting stop.
"I said just now that I guarantee that there is no murder law in the Mohist Research Institute."
"I also said later that the Mohist Research Institute is protected by the emperor."
"Now, please look at what this is?"
Fang Yuan said slowly.
He took out a golden edict from his arms.
When the imperial edict was brought out, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Zheng Mingzhu, Zheng Jiu and others, who pretended to be injured, also stood up one after another.
"You!"
Cui Zhentang and Cui Yuanting pointed at Fang Yuan and were extremely angry.
So, is it true that Fang Yuan said that the Mohist Research Institute is protected by the emperor?
If that's the case, then the beatings the two of you just received were in vain?
