Ding Mingcheng and others nodded, and those in the punishment department showed contempt in their eyes.
Everyone in the capital knows what kind of thing this Ding Mingcheng is. His family's money can be said to be more than they can spend in a lifetime.
I didn't expect that he would risk his life for such a small amount of money.
Ding Mingcheng and others could only endure this tone.
Otherwise, what if Chen Fan told about his assassination on the way.
It was a small matter for the Ministry of Punishment to pursue them for their negligence in their duties, but more importantly, they were afraid that the Ministry of Punishment would investigate the matter.
"Mr. Liu, in broad daylight, there are people who dare to rob someone in the street and even beat up a court official."
"These people must be found and severely punished. People will be robbed again in the future."
At this time, Fang Zhengru said with a serious face.
Hearing Fang Zhengru's words, Liu Qiang immediately showed respect.
"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I will send someone to investigate immediately. These people will be caught to uphold the majesty of the law."
Liu Qiang patted his chest and said.
"snort."
Seeing Liu Qiang patting his chest, Chen Fan couldn't help but chuckle.
There was no such thing as a robber, so how could he catch him?
In the end, it must be just a matter of catching a few unlucky people to do business.
Seeing the slight smile on Chen Fan's lips, Liu Qiang frowned.
Because the prisoners who were taken to the capital in the past were very afraid of and respected the people in their criminal department.
However, the Chen Fan in front of him never saluted him and looked disdainful at this time.
This made Liu Qiang immediately dissatisfied.
"Someone is coming."
"Take the prisoner to the Penal Department Prison."
Liu Qiang said coldly.
Once a prisoner enters the prison of the Criminal Department, he can be ravaged by him.
As soon as these words came out, Ding Mingcheng and others on the side also showed a smile.
After serving as officials for many years, they naturally knew what Liu Qiang was thinking.
When Liu Qiang spoke, several people from the Criminal Department behind him immediately came over to take Chen Fan into custody with evil eyes.
"Wait a moment."
At this moment, Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye shouted.
Hearing this, Ding Mingcheng and others immediately frowned.
They can see it now. Although they don't know what happened in the capital during this period, it is very likely that it is related to Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye.
At this time, the three people looked at Fang Zhengru with a bit of anger in their eyes.
Liu Qiang looked at Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye in confusion. Just as he was about to speak, Kong Wenbo on the side spoke first.
"Fang Zhengru, what do you mean?"
"The Ministry of Punishment takes in prisoners in accordance with the law."
"Do you want to interfere with the law?"
Kong Wenbo said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Fang Zhengru smiled lightly.
"Brother Kong misunderstood. It is normal for the Ministry of Punishment to detain prisoners. Naturally, I will not interfere."
"But is Chen Fan a prisoner now?"
Fang Zhengru asked rhetorically.
"Why not?"
"Chen Fan has been sentenced to death by this officer in Dongyang County. He is naturally a prisoner, and he is still a death row prisoner and should be taken into custody immediately and no visits are allowed."
As soon as Fang Zhengru finished speaking, Ding Mingcheng stood up and said.
If it was before, he would naturally not dare to speak out against Fang Zhengru, but now he has no fear.
After hearing this, Fang Zhengru looked calm, which was very similar to Chen Fan.
"No."
"Master Ding seems to have forgotten that the order from the Ministry of Punishment is to bring Chen Fan to the Ministry of Punishment for retrial."
"In other words, before the Criminal Department has convicted Chen Fan, how can he be detained in the Criminal Prison when Chen Fan is still claiming to be innocent?"
"Or is it that Master Ding, your trial is more authoritative than the trial of the Ministry of Punishment?"
Fang Zhengru said.
As soon as these words came out, Ding Mingcheng and others were instantly speechless.
Kong Wenbo wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason.
He could only clench his teeth in anger, as if Fang Zhengru was in his mouth.
Chen Fan on the side showed a smile. Fang Zhengru was worthy of being the emperor's master. In just a few words, he was at his wits' end.
"Master Liu, what do you think?"
Fang Zhengru looked at Liu Qiang with a smile and said.
At this time, Liu Qiang looked embarrassed.
He can't afford to offend people on both sides!
"That's not as good as this."
"Chen Fan can stay in the inn instead of going to the prison for the time being."
"But you can't go out casually. I will send someone to guard you."
Liu Qiang thought for a while before saying.
Hearing this, Ding Mingcheng and Fang Zhengru could only nod.
The group turned around and returned to the capital.
Of course, Ding Mingcheng and others did not follow them, but the three of them left in a carriage.
The three of them would probably be laughed to death if they entered the capital like this, especially Kong Wenbo.
If scholars were to see Kong Wenbo's appearance at this time, his reputation would be completely ruined, and the Kong family would even be implicated.
When Chen Fan and others returned to the capital, there were already dense crowds of scholars waiting for them.
Due to the strong recommendation of Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye, Chen Fan's story book has become the best-selling book in the capital and has become an idol among readers.
So everyone wants to see what Chen Fan looks like this time.
"I didn't expect Chen Fan to be so young."
This is everyone's first impression of Chen Fan.
He wrote such a wonderful story at such a young age, and everyone's admiration for Chen Fan grew even stronger.
Especially those young women, their eyes were shining when they looked at Chen Fan.
"What's the use of being young? So what if you're talented? You dare to premeditate the murder of Mr. Kong. This kind of person deserves to die."
At this time, a young man shouted with jealousy in his eyes.
"Didn't you see that the Ministry of Punishment is about to retrial? There must be some misunderstanding."
"That's right. How could someone as talented, young and handsome as Chen Fan do such a thing?"
"Perhaps someone was jealous of him, so they framed him deliberately."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the women around him immediately refuted it.
At this time, Chen Fan looked at the bustling street and the beautiful woman.
I have to say that big cities are indeed better than small counties!
Soon the group arrived at the inn. Liu Qiang specially sent a few people to guard the door of Chen Fan's room to prevent him from going out.
"Let's go in and talk to him."
Fang Zhengru said to Liu Qiang.
How dare Liu Qiang refuse Fang Zhengru? Moreover, they were entering the room to chat and not taking Chen Fan out, so they immediately nodded in agreement.
In the room today, Chen Fan closed the door.
"Thank you Mr. Fang, Liu Siye."
Chen Fan saluted the two of them respectfully.
That night, after Yan Bei told Chen Fan about the matter, Chen Fan immediately sent people to the capital to ask Liu Siye and Fang Zhengru for help.
That's why there was that order from the Ministry of Punishment.
The two quickly helped Chen Fan up.
"You said that when you came to the capital with us two old guys, didn't you think there would be no such bad things?"
Liu Siye said with a frown.
Hearing this, Chen Fan showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Do you think just the two of us can get the order from the Criminal Department to take you back to the capital?"
At this time, Fang Zhengru said seriously.
Hearing this, Chen Fan showed doubts. Is there anyone else helping him?
