Chapter 31(2/2)
This eunuch Wang was indeed young and energetic, and he was extremely willful. It didn't matter if he thought about it, but he dragged Tang Fan down.
"Tang Fan, now you know the matter. What do you think about this case?" Wang Zhi asked.
Tang Fan was quite disgusted with Wang Zhi's behavior of taking self-righteous actions and not taking himself seriously when he was in a high position.
But he was not a person who would complain. Now that things have been put on fire, and in front of the emperor's cabinet, he has no right to refuse, Tang Fan's anger just flashed away, and then he was suppressed to his heart and began to think about a solution.
He thought for a while and said, "The rank of the officials is limited. In front of His Majesty and the prime ministers, he dare not talk nonsense. Now he has only heard a few words. He has never seen Han Zao's body, nor has he asked all the people involved in the case, so there is nothing to say for the time being."
Emperor Chenghua was a little disappointed when he heard this. He had no intention of letting Tang Fan reveal the truth immediately as soon as he came up. If he really had this ability, he would be even more powerful than a god.
But after hearing what he said, Emperor Chenghua still couldn't help but complain to Wang Zhi: "Neichen Wang, you just said how powerful this person is. In my opinion, just like those censors and censors outside, they are just invincible in their words!"
Tang looked at the nose and the nose, pretended to be dead, as if the emperor was not saying it.
Wang Zhi secretly felt that Tang Fan was ungrateful and did not express his loyalty quickly. He was still standing aside like a wooden man, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, many things are like a mess now, and it is indeed difficult to find anything immediately. Why do you ask Your Majesty to be grateful for your time so that Tang Fan can investigate slowly. You can teach Your Majesty that Tang Fan was nominated for the Golden Palace in the 11th year of Chenghua, and Tang Fan won the first place in the second place. At that time, he praised him personally!"
In order to prove that he had a good vision, he brought out the old past. Emperor Chenghua lifted his eyelids. He vaguely remembered that this seemed to be true, and his impression of Tang Fan improved a little.
"Since that's the case, Tang Fan, you will be responsible for this case, but..." The emperor glanced at Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi understood and immediately said: "This case is of great importance. Do not talk nonsense to the outside world, otherwise it will be punished heavily."
In front of everyone, Tang Fan finally spoke, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked: "I dare not take orders."
What?!
Is this person crazy?!
Does he know what he said?!
Can you throw a tantrum in this situation?
Everyone, including the palace maids and guards who acted as backgrounds, couldn't help but open their eyes wide and stared at Tang Fan.
The chief assistant Wan An shouted loudly in front of everyone: "Dare to Tang Fan, how dare you disrespect the holy will and be disrespectful!"
Wang Zhi was even more angry. He knew that Tang Fan might have muttered to this job, but Wang Zhi also had his own plans. Even if Tang Fan was not happy, he could only obey the orders at the moment. How could he do that? A small sixth-rank prosecutor really treated himself as a green onion. The emperor said with a golden word, but he even said, "I dare not take orders." Is this going to slap the emperor in the face?
"Tang Fan, are you crazy? What kind of occasion is this? You are here to be presumptuous! If you dare to say something, Xiang Zhong and Shang Lu are your lessons!"
Xiang Zhong and Shang Lu, one is the former Minister of War and the other is the former chief minister. Both of them have stepped down because of opposition to Eunuch Wang. One was dismissed for the people, and the other resigned and ran away. Wang Zhi took them out, obviously to threaten Tang Fan. If you dare to say so much, then they will be your fate.
Wan An shook his head secretly, thinking that Eunuch Wang was also angry and said nothing. You should know that Tang Fan is just a sixth-rank referee now. If you take Xiang Zhong and the others as an example, isn’t that just polite Tang Fan?
Emperor Chenghua frowned and stared at Tang Fan, showing displeasure.
He is not an emperor who likes to kill people. This is his good side, but if he doesn't like someone, he waves his hand and either dismisses the person or dismisses him from office, which is enough to give the other party a drink.
Crown Prince Zhu Youzhan also didn't say a word, but just looked at Tang Fan curiously.
It has been more than half a day since the case happened. It should be time to go to bed, but because the matter is related to him, he still cannot rest. However, the prince did not show an impatient look. Although he was a little tired, he still stood beside his father, as respectful as before.
After the storm came to an end, Tang Fan bowed and said slowly: "Your Majesty, as the procurator, I am a deceased person, but I cannot push the living person. When I look at this case at a rough glance, I am afraid that the complexity is far beyond my imagination. Therefore, if Your Majesty handed over this burden to me, I dare not accept it, but some things must be asked clearly in advance. Please forgive me for not guilty."
Emperor Chenghua said: "Just ask, forgive me for your guilt."
Tang Fan nodded: "Then I asked boldly. Your Majesty dared to guarantee that the case has nothing to do with Concubine Wan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surprise was even better than the moment.
Everyone thought that Tang Fan was not only crazy, but also a naughty man.
It would be fine to keep this kind of question in mind, but it can be said directly?
Even the prime minister Wan An was stunned, and then he couldn't help but shake his head secretly. But what he thought was different from others: It's amazing, it's really amazing. Tang Fan knew that the person was present and deliberately asked this question, in order to make the case open and spread it out, so as not to be plotted against him in the future.
Wan'an naturally remembers that three years ago, it was his own words that made the young man's position as the top scholar who was supposed to have won, and he turned into a cooked duck and flew away.
As expected, just as Wan'an was thinking this, a figure behind the screen could no longer hold back and turned out in anger.
