The lawsuit between the Guo family and the Fan family soon spread throughout Kyoto.
On the day of the trial, a large crowd of melon-eating people surrounded the red moss at the entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.
The people of the Qing Kingdom have always been bold, not to mention that in a place like Kyoto, those who can make a living here are not ordinary people. Maybe those who are dressed in rags are relatives of the Duke, and those who are unkempt are distant relatives of the royal family.
The lawsuit between the family of the Minister of Rites and the family of the Minister of Household Affairs is extremely rare in Kyoto.
Generally speaking, the powerful nobles in Kyoto cherish their own feathers. They are all respectable people and attach great importance to things like face. Unless there are really special circumstances, they will not go to court.
It was only this time that Fan Xian didn't play by the rules, which finally led to the current situation.
So today there are a lot of melon-eating people coming to watch the fun.
Below the courtroom, Fan Xian, who looked slightly haggard, was undoubtedly the protagonist today. Opposite Mr. Fan was Guo Baokun, who was wrapped like a mummy. Mr. Guo was led outside the door when he was lifted out of the carriage by the Guo family. The audience roared with laughter.
In fact, these people didn't want to laugh at first, but they just couldn't help it.
At this time, Young Master Guo Baokun was staring hard at Fan Xian with the only movable eye on his body. At this moment, Guo Baokun was still in great pain, especially the bridge of his nose, which had been heavily cared for in the sack. The pain was unbearable. Doctor None of the treatments seemed to work.

wrist.
The lawsuit in Jingzhao Mansion was loud and clear.
Originally, the people outside were hoping that the Guo family and the Fan family would fight hard, and it would be best to have a TV series. However, after the Guo family's petition was handed over, the Fan family seemed to have given up.
Mei Zhili quickly announced the end of today's court hearing. For subsequent statements, please pay attention to the official website of Jingzhao Mansion and so on.
——Hush!
There were boos.
The people in Kyoto found out that it was such a boring ending, so they secretly cursed a few times and then went back to their homes. They probably had no idea of coming to Jingzhao Mansion to watch the show later. This scene was far from what they imagined. Stimulate.
In fact, the trial in court is just a formality.
The real battle between the two sides is under the table.
The figures of the Guo and Fan families could be seen in Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Personnel and even the Supervisory Yuan. Lu Ze did not take action from behind. After finishing what he should do that night, he began to act. View from the wall.
For Lu Ze, there was no need to take action anymore.
From the moment Ye Chong appeared on Niulan Street, the outcome of the contest between the two sides was actually destined.
The confrontation between the two families was just a formality to a certain extent. In the subsequent confrontation between the two sides, the most effective move was when the Guo family found the Supervisory Yuan from behind.
Chen Pingping, the leader of Qingguo Roots, agreed to the Guo family's request with a cheerful face.
Therefore, after today's court trial, Fan Xian did not return to the Fan family, but continued to be detained in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion.
This result surprised even Guo Youzhi himself.
"Your Highness."
"Dean Chen has always ignored these trivial matters among the aristocratic families in the capital. Why did he agree to stand with us this time?"
Guo Youzhi is an old fox in the court of Qing Dynasty.
This is a person with a very sensitive sense of officialdom, but at this time, Lord Shangshu was extremely confused about the action of Chen Pingping of the Supervisory Yuan. Even when Lu Ze told the Guo family to find the Supervisory Yuan, Guo Youzhi was very puzzled.
Lu Ze did not explain the reason in detail to Guo Shangshu.
This is actually some kind of invisible battle between Chen Pingping and Fan Jian. Chen Pingping does not want Fan Xian to take over the inner treasury. He prefers Fan Xian to take another path - to take charge of the Overwatch Council.
Therefore, Chen Pingping will strongly oppose Fan Xian and Lin Waner's marriage.
Naturally, these things cannot be stated clearly to Guo Youzhi in front of him.
"Guo Shangshu."
"This matter can only be done to this extent."
"Uncle Si Nan will probably choose to pay compensation, and the amount will be quite large. Don't worry, we will continue."
Guo Youzhi nodded, and then bowed respectfully to Lu Ze.
Guo Shangshu said in a deep voice: "The Guo family would like to thank His Highness for your great kindness!"
Lu Ze did not go up to help him, but calmly accepted Guo Youzhi's gift. Lu Ze knew that after this incident, the Guo family would be tied to his car and officially separated from the one from Changxin Palace.
"aunt."
"I've done you a favor."
"You should thank me, right?"
...
Lu Ze had no intention of completely knocking Fan Xian down by beating Guo Baokun violently.
This thing sounds very exciting at first, but in the eyes of the real big shots in the capital, it is actually just a child's trick of playing house.
It's just that the man on the dragon throne was not very satisfied with what Fan Xian showed in his performance this time.
When dealing with the princes under his knees, Emperor Qing cared about their skills, not the results.
As for the illegitimate son from Danzhou, what Emperor Qing cared more about was not the skill, but the result.
Emperor Qing's silence meant that the Fan family needed to take responsibility for Fan Xian's rash action.
As for the Fan family, the minister of household affairs, they had nothing else but money.
Lu Ze had already thought about it,
This time the incident will be settled with money.
It's just that it's not the little money Fan Xian spent spending a night in Zuixianju Shipyard in his wallet.
Lu Ze estimated that the Fan family's blood loss this time would be enough to cover Zuixianju for at least half a year.
It can only be said that Guo Baokun's beating was indeed worth it.
On the one hand, he successfully attacked Fan Xian and gained a large amount of real money. On the other hand, Guo Youzhi also received a personal promise from Lu Ze. At least Mr. Guo's life in Beijing will be much easier.
After this incident comes to an end, it is estimated that there will be many people in the capital who want to be beaten by Master Fan Xian in the future.
Lu Ze no longer thought about this matter, but after tidying up, he entered the palace. The queen, who was dressed extremely dignifiedly, was already waiting for Lu Ze in the palace: "Chengqian, you haven't gone to see the Queen Mother for a long time. In the past two days, The Queen Mother keeps talking about you."
The Queen Mother is naturally the biological mother of Emperor Qing and the grandmother of several princes in Lu Ze.
Follow the path of the palace to the palace where the Queen Mother is. In the small courtyard ahead, there is an old eunuch taking a nap in the spring scenery. The old eunuch is Hong Sixiang, the general manager of the palace. When there is no important matter, he will serve the Queen Mother. This is also a celebration. Emperor chat is a way to express filial piety.
In the eyes of outsiders, it is a sign of nobility that a Grand Master-level figure serves the Queen Mother.
Hong Sixiang bowed slightly to Lu Ze and the Queen Mother.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen!"
When he went to the backyard, Lu Ze found that the old lady lying on the wicker chair with her eyes closed and meditating looked very kind. Between her eyebrows, she could vaguely see some resemblance to Emperor Qing. The Queen stopped the maids from waking up the Queen Mother. action.
Instead, she rolled up her sleeves and sat beside her to peel the fruit herself.
The rare and exotic fruits on this stone table were gathered from all over the world. The fruits in season would be delivered to the Qing Palace as soon as possible, and Emperor Qing naturally chose to keep the best batch for him. Mother.
"Queen, why is it you?" The Queen Mother opened her eyes and found Lu Ze and the Queen. She smiled and said to them, "It's been a long time since you've been here, right? These servants are becoming more and more unruly, so that the majestic Queen Your Highness and the Crown Prince are waiting for me, an old woman."
The queen smiled and said gently: "It doesn't matter."
She waved to Lu Ze and said, "Cheng Qian, come to say hello to your imperial grandmother."
Lu Ze respectfully saluted the Queen Mother in front of him, and the latter instantly became cheerful. She liked the emperor's grandson who looked exactly like her eldest son the most. In addition, the Queen Mother had been serving and caring by her side all these years, so the Queen Mother naturally became closer to the East Palace. side.
Soon, another elegantly dressed lady came to the summer courtyard.
The person who came was the eldest princess Li Yunrui.
Li Yunrui bowed slightly, put his hands on his waist and saluted the Queen Mother, and then chatted with the Queen familiarly. His bright eyes would be on Lu Ze from time to time, with a trace of An expression of longing that is hard to detect.
Neither the Queen Mother nor the Queen noticed anything unusual.
Only Lu Ze, who had a keen insight into Li Yunrui, felt a slight headache.
This crazy woman dared to behave like this in the Queen Mother's house. It seemed that it was because she had chosen to avoid Changxin Palace during these days. Li Yunrui noticed that the strong alliance between the two parties was somewhat loose, and it was necessary to tighten it at this time.
Soon, everyone started talking about Fan Xian, who was very famous in Beijing recently.
Fan Shilang spent a lot of money and finally got the Guo family's understanding. After returning to the Fan family, Fan Xian stayed behind closed doors for several days.
"well."
"That child comes from Danzhou, and with such a status, he can't help but act impulsively." The Queen Mother sighed: "I guess this child is also very lucky."
Lu Ze listened, but secretly laughed in his heart.
If the Queen Mother knew that Fan Xian was the child of Emperor Qing and Ye Qingmei, it would be difficult for her to say such words.
At that time, Ye Qingmei was so powerful in Beijing that the Queen Mother was displeased with this woman who did not understand the rules. When the conflict between the two parties escalated to a critical point, the Queen Mother took the lead in falling out with Ye Qingmei. The old lady sent someone to
He gave Ye Qingmei a piece of white silk.
Ye Qingmei directly asked Wu Zhu to send Bai Ling to the Queen Mother's palace overnight, and deliberately placed it on the Queen Mother's bedside.
The old lady was immediately frightened.
At this time, the eldest princess suddenly began to cry after listening to her mother's words. Her tearful eyes did not look like she was being fake: "Mother, my Wan'er is a child with poor fortune, and now she has to marry someone from the Fan family who is even less blessed. Yes, what should we do next? During this time, there was a lot of rumors in Beijing that the children of Guo Shangshu's family were beaten into disgrace. If Wan'er is beaten in the future..."
"Hmph! Presumptuous!"
"Wan'er is your Majesty's personal princess, who dares to touch her hair?"
The Queen Mother's face instantly turned cold.
The waiting maids had already left on their own, leaving only Lu Ze and the three most powerful women in Qing Kingdom in front of him.
Li Yunrui cried louder.
This time she just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity created by Lu Ze to completely ruin Fan Xian and Wan'er's marriage, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother showed no signs of breaking off the engagement, even though Fan Xian's current reputation was already very bad. good.
"Wan'er has been on the sick bed for a long time now. It's because you, the mother-in-law, didn't accumulate blessings for her. Now you still have the nerve to say these things. After all, the child of the Fan family is also a poor child with no name."
"Wan'er has to get married anyway, and marrying a son of a powerful person in the capital may not necessarily lead to a good life."
The old lady was very tight-lipped.
Even though he knew that Fan Xian had many problems, he never mentioned aborting their marriage.
Under such circumstances, Lu Ze resigned and left early.
Just as he walked out of the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom, Sha Niu had already turned invisible and came to Lu Ze's side.
Lu Ze had an extra key in his hand.
This is also the real purpose of Lu Ze coming to the Queen Mother today to pay her respects.
"Barrett..."
"I don't know how powerful this thing is..."
