In fact, these slaves did not hear the swarthy man who was killed rumoring an affair between Liu Huang and Zhang Fan, and they did not know how Zhang Fan heard this.
However, they had a good personal relationship with Zhang Fan. They usually wore one-legged trousers. Now that Zhang Fan had bitten him to death, he was chewing on the princess's tongue. They could only follow Zhang Fan's words.
Several domestic slaves spoke in unison, and they all insisted that it was the country bumpkin who was gossiping and fabricating an affair between the princess and Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan said this, and several other domestic slaves also said the same. Liu Huang was furious and said harshly: "You are right to kill! This kind of villain and untouchable who talks nonsense should be killed!"
Although he had received Liu Huang's protection, Zhang Fan himself knew that the trouble he had made this time was not small. After all, he killed someone in broad daylight, so how could the matter remain unsolved?
As expected, the news of Zhang Fan's murder in the street soon reached Luoyang County Government.
The magistrate of Luoyang County was named Dong Xuan. This Dong Xuan was a famous and ruthless official under Liu Xiu. He was always known for being ruthless and ruthless. Ordinary officials would not dare to provoke him.
After hearing what happened, Dong Xuan was furious and immediately led the county government officials to the princess mansion to arrest the murderer Zhang Fan.
The Princess Mansion was not a place where Dong Xuan could enter if he wanted to. The officers, soldiers and domestic slaves guarding the gate of the Princess Mansion blocked Dong Xuan and his party from the gate.
A domestic slave strode up to Dong Xuan, looked him up and down, and shouted sternly: "Dong Xuan, you are so brave, you broke into the princess's mansion without permission. Do you know what crime this is?"
"I am here to arrest the murderer. What crime is he guilty of?" Dong Xuan looked at the slave coldly.
At the doorstep of the Princess Mansion, how could a domestic slave take a mere small county magistrate in his eyes?
He laughed out loud and said proudly: "Trespassing to the princess's house without permission is disrespectful to the princess, disrespectful to the princess, and disrespectful to the emperor. Based on this alone, even if you kill Dong Xuan's head, it will be more than enough..."
Before he could finish his words, Dong Xuan slapped him with a big slap in the face, and slapped the slave in the face. The slave looked at Dong Xuan blankly, and for a moment he was stunned. He didn't react and was completely stunned.
When everyone present, including the county government officials, saw this, they all grinned secretly, Sir, you are going crazy! How can you beat the people of the princess's mansion at the gate of the princess's mansion?
Dong Xuan pushed away the slave who stood stupidly in front of him and shouted: "Go in and arrest people. If anyone dares to block it, beat me!"
"Yes...yes!" All the government officials swallowed their saliva and took a step forward to break into the princess's mansion.
At this time, I heard someone yelling at the gate of the mansion: "I want to see who dares to break into my princess mansion!"
The government officials who had just raised their feet looked up and saw that the person walking out of the mansion was not Liu Huang or who it was?!
The people's raised feet immediately retracted, and then they all knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison: "I pay my respects to the eldest princess of Huyang!"
When Dong Xuan saw Liu Huang leaving the mansion, he frowned secretly, his face was gloomy, he bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "I am a humble minister, Dong Xuan, pay your respects to the eldest princess!"
"Dong Xuan, do you still have eyes for me, the princess?"
"The eldest princess's words are serious, but the humble ministers dare not!"
"You even dare to break into the princess's palace. Is there anything in the world that you, Dong Xuan, dare not do?" Liu Huang was also furious. He pointed at Dong Xuan's nose and scolded him loudly.
Dong Xuan's face turned red and white for a while, but he finally suppressed his anger and endured it. He took two steps back, cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen can't bother the eldest princess anymore, Wei Chen, please leave!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Huang to answer his question, he waved to the government officials around him and turned around to leave.
Looking at Dong Xuan's leaving figure, Liu Huang said angrily: "What a reckless person who doesn't know dignity and etiquette!"
Due to Liu Huang's personal appearance, Dong Xuan could not enter the princess's house and could not arrest Zhang Fan.
But the matter was not over yet. Dong Xuan ordered the county government officials to block the street in front of the princess's mansion and arrest Zhang Fan immediately if he saw Zhang Fan coming out of the princess's mansion.
After receiving Dong Xuan's order, the county government officials wandered around the front door of the princess's mansion all day long. Zhang Fan hid in the princess's mansion and did not dare to go out. yyls
Liu Huang also didn't expect that Dong Xuan was so difficult to deal with. He didn't even dare to give his own face, and made it clear that he had to catch Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan hid in the princess's mansion for several days, and the county government officials were also in the princess's mansion.
He was watched outside the house for several days.
Feeling that this was not the way to go, the matter would get too big and the reputation of the princess would be affected. Zhang Fan took the initiative to propose to Liu Huang that he go to the county government to surrender, otherwise Dong Xuan would definitely not give up and would continue to pester him with Dong Xuan's temperament.
Go down.
Liu Huang immediately rejected Zhang Fan's proposal without even thinking about it. Could it be that her magnificent princess couldn't even protect a servant? Should her magnificent princess still be afraid of his mere Luoyang Order?
After thinking about it, Liu Huang said to Zhang Fan: "Don't stay in Luoyang during this period. Go back to your hometown and live for a few months. When the news passes, I will send someone to take you back to Luoyang!"
Zhang Fan cried with joy, knelt down on his knees, and said with choked sobs: "The princess is so kind and kind that I will never forget it. Even if I have to be a cow or a horse in the next life, I will continue to serve the princess!"
Liu Huang was amused by his words, stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground, and said softly: "You should restrain your temper in the future. It is indeed wrong to kill people on the street. This lesson should be learned from now on."
."
"The villain should remember the princess's teachings!" Zhang Fan said while wiping his tears. After a pause, he whispered again: "Princess, the villain is afraid that I will be caught by Dong Xuan first if I can't get out of Luoyang!"
Liu Huang chuckled and said: "How dare he! I send you out of the city, but I want to see how Dong Xuan catches you!"
Liu Huang was indeed very interested in her domestic slave Zhang Fan. She took a carriage out of the princess's house and asked Zhang Fan to ride in the same carriage with her. In doing so, she was equivalent to personally escorting Zhang Fan out of Luoyang.
If it were anyone else, he might not be able to achieve the level of Liu Huang. If he handed over a mere little house slave, it would be over, so why would he let a majestic princess condescend to escort him out of the city?
Liu Huang left the mansion by car, and the yamen servant who was being followed immediately informed Dong Xuan.
When Liu Huang's carriage was almost reaching the gate of Luoyang South City, he saw a large group of government officials standing at the crossroads ahead. The leader was none other than Dong Xuan.
I saw Dong Xuan standing in the middle of the intersection with a golden sword, holding a long sword in his hand and paddling it back and forth on the ground.
The carriage came to the crossroads and couldn't go any further. The driver of the carriage shouted angrily: "How dare you block the carriage of the princess? Don't you want your head?"
The government officials were so frightened that they all shrank their necks and involuntarily retreated to both sides.
Dong Xuan continued to stand in front of the carriage as if nothing was wrong. He held his sword upside down and said, "Elder Princess, I want to search the carriage. Please give me your permission!"
"You...you are bold! You are presumptuous!" Hearing this, the coachman's lungs almost exploded with anger. He pointed his riding crop at Dong Xuan and roared loudly. Dong Xuan stood motionless with his sword in his hand, his eyes cold.
Stare at the driver.
The originally arrogant coachman was so cold that he shivered involuntarily at his cold gaze.
Dong Xuan said loudly again: "Someone reported that the murderer was hiding in the princess's car. Please allow the princess to search!"
The curtains on the car window were raised, and Liu Huang said in a deep voice inside the car: "There is no murderer in my princess' car. Dong Xuan, please go search elsewhere!"
"If the princess does not allow Wei Chen to search the carriage, Wei Chen will never leave." Dong Xuan is now completely like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. Either you drive the carriage and run over me, or you
Let me search the carriage.
As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the violent, and the violent are afraid of their lives. People like Dong Xuan, even many officials with much higher ranks than him are not willing to provoke him.
This man is stubborn, and no one can tell him what he is sure about.
This incident revealed Dong Xuan's temperament. He, a mere county magistrate, actually came into conflict with the emperor's biological sister, the majestic eldest princess, without giving in at all.
Liu Huang, who was sitting in the carriage, was so angry that her face turned pale and her body was trembling. My dear princess, if someone searches the carriage, how can she have the dignity to go out again? But if she wants to kill Dong Xuan, she really doesn't have that.
that power.
Dong Xuan was not an ordinary county magistrate, but the magistrate of Luoyang and the mayor of the capital. He was placed in Chang'an, that is, Jing Zhaoyin. The official was not a big one, but he was personally appointed by the emperor. He could kill him at any time.
Things have reached this point, and even Liu Huang is in trouble. Now that she has turned around and gone back, the princess will lose her face and let Dong Xuan search. Zhang Fan will be exposed soon. Liu Huang has guaranteed to escort him out of the city.
Seeing Liu Huang in a dilemma, Zhang Fan felt very sad. He smiled at Liu Huang and said in a brisk tone: "Princess, what Dong Xuan wants is the villain, isn't it? The villain is going out to see him now.
!”
"No..." Liu Huang wanted to stop Zhang Fan, but the latter took the lead, lifted up the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
After he got off the carriage, he looked at Dong Xuan opposite and said loudly: "Dong Xuan, Zhang Fan is here. If you have any ability, just come to me. Don't make it difficult for the princess!"
When Dong Xuan saw Zhang Fan, he raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face: "You are the one I am looking for!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and shouted: "Take it down!"
The government officials present looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward. Dong Xuan was furious and asked sternly: "Didn't you hear what I said? Capture the thief immediately!"
Seeing that the county magistrate was really angry, the government officials did not dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. They walked up to Zhang Fan, took out the ropes, tied him up, and pushed him to Dong Xuan.
Dong Xuan looked at Zhang Fan coldly and asked: "Zhang Fan, do you know the crime?"
Zhang Fan raised the corners of his mouth and said with a sneer: "That thief deserves to die!"
Dong Xuan nodded and said: "In broad daylight, with the sky clear, you commit murder in the street, take human life lightly, and don't repent. Your crime is unforgivable! Come and kill Zhang Fan with a cane on the street!"
Hearing the word "kill with a stick", Zhang Fan stood up for a while, and all the government officials secretly grinned.
Seeing that no one dared to hit Zhang Fan, Dong Xuan thrust his sword into the ground, walked up to a yamen servant, waved his hand and snatched the wooden stick from his hand. Then, he returned the stick and hit it hard.
On top of Zhang Fan's head.
At this moment, Zhang Fan's head was bleeding profusely and he fell to the ground. Dong Xuan threw the wooden stick back to the officer and shouted again: "Death with the stick!"
He moved his hands, and all the government officials did not dare to hesitate any longer. They picked up their wooden sticks and slapped Zhang Fan desperately.
At first, Zhang Fan could still scream a few times, but soon, the screams slowly disappeared, and when he looked at Zhang Fan on the ground, he turned into a bloody mass.
Dong Xuan was really ruthless. He beat Liu Huang's most beloved slave Zhang Fan to death in front of Liu Huang in public. Even though Dong Xuan was the leader of Liu Xiu's men
It is not an exaggeration to call a cruel official.
This time, Dong Xuan can be said to have become famous in one battle. The people of Luoyang City shuddered whenever they mentioned Dong Xuan. The people of Luoyang even gave him a nickname, Crouching Tiger!
When Dong Xuan was the magistrate of Luoyang, he never went to the county government to beat drums and appeal for grievances. To reach this level as an official was truly impressive and truly admirable.
