The scope of the Ministry of Punishment in the Tang Dynasty was very small, and it was basically limited to the execution of punishments for civilians and officials below the seventh rank. (Strictly speaking, in ancient times, those below the seventh rank were not "officials", but were "officials")

The trial of high-ranking officials in the imperial court basically belongs to the Dali Temple, while the imperial officials basically have a supervisory role, as long as they do not make mistakes in the law.

Therefore, the handling of this case is actually very simple, as long as the ins and outs of the matter are clarified. Anyway, the final decision will be made by His Majesty Li Er.

Listening to Yang Fan's endless account of what happened, Xiao Yu asked, nodding with a smile from time to time.

I didn't expect that this kid would grow up so fast. At only eighteen years old, he has now become a third-rank official in the imperial court.

It is not said that there is no one before or after, but in the Zhenguan Dynasty, no one can compare with it.

What's more important is that Yang Fan actually recognized his sister, Empress Xiao, as his godmother, and they became a family from now on.

Furthermore, his niece will also become this boy's woman. Such an intimate relationship makes Xiao Yu even more affectionate.

Yang Fan avoided important matters and told the story lightly, almost making Xiao Yu think that this was an official who had been in charge of prisons for decades.

When Yang Fan finished telling what happened, Duan Zhixuan was so furious that he no longer cared about crying and asking for sympathy. He straightened his back and retorted: "Zhongyihou, you are talking nonsense. My son was just in front of your house and did not break in."

How could you besiege your Zhongyihou Mansion and force your way into your residence?"

"The street in front of your house is a public place and anyone can stay there. Do you dare to take it as your own?"

"There are at least hundreds of people passing by your house every day. Do you want to cut off their legs before you stop?"

"To say the least, even if my son calls your name and blocks the door of your house, it is just to prove that your brother has been unfairly treated. Why would he force you to death or beat you to death? It is simply nonsense."

Duan Zhixuan was not stupid. He caught the loophole in Yang Fan's words and immediately launched a counterattack.

The meaning is obvious. His son Duan Zan was just on the street. He did not force his way into your Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, nor did he lay a siege. It was even less possible for him to kill a Marquis like you.

Yang Fan, you actually cut off one of Duan Zan's legs in a sneak attack. It's obviously your fault.

If it is confirmed that his son led people to break into the Hou Mansion with the intention of killing a third-rank official in the imperial court, banishment for three thousand miles is still the best outcome.

Now Duan Zhixuan really regrets coming to plead with His Majesty Li Er!

Ben also thought that with his own contribution, Li Er would be able to protect his Duan family.

Judging from the current situation, if His Majesty Li Er really listened to Yang Fan's words, he might really lose everything today!

Seeing Duan Zhixuan's indignant and plausible sophistry, Yang Fanba blinked his eyes and seemed to say, "Don't you want to cry anymore?"

However, if you don't cry, I will cry if I feel wronged.

I have to let His Majesty and my godmother's brother know my grievances. If it is relevant, it does not need to be expired.

Although Li Er may not necessarily adopt the opinions of the Minister of Dali Temple, he cannot ignore them!

So Yang Fan rubbed his eyes and howled loudly: "Okay, I used to think that Duke Bao was an upright man, but I didn't expect that he is a hypocritical person who dares to do something but dare not live up to it."

"You didn't teach your son well yourself, but you blamed others. You are worse than a woman!"

"Your son led fifty strong soldiers to block my mansion where only the old, weak, sick and disabled were."

"Duan Zan not only wounded my guard, but also ordered the soldiers on the left guard to point their flint pistols at me. You are the first to complain."

"You said your son didn't want to shoot someone on the spot. What was that? Couldn't it be shown off?"

"These flintlock pistols are extremely lethal. Even a certain person with a poor family only made more than a hundred of them, and invested millions of dollars in them."

"In order for Your Majesty to lead me, the men of the Tang Dynasty, to sweep across all directions, I risked my entire family fortune in making these pistols."

"Now you say that your son Duan Zan just walked around in front of my house with such a sharp weapon. Who would believe it?"

"Your Majesty, Duan Zan obviously wants me to be captured so that I can be manipulated by him. Isn't this pushing someone to a dead end? Duan Zan is cruel and wants to drive away all the ministers."

"Weichen thinks that Duan Zan may have other ulterior motives, and he may be interested in the manufacturing process of the flint pistol."

"Your Majesty, my lords, you are well-informed and aware of everything. Please make the decision for me. Otherwise, Duke Bao will always make trouble for me. How will I live in the future?"

These words and operations made Duan Zhixuan turn pale with anger, pointed at Yang Fan and shouted:

"How dare Shuzi confuse right and wrong and talk nonsense, pretending that Your Majesty does not exist?"

Having said that, I feel extremely depressed.

It seems that my son is the victim. Why are you crying so miserably?

And she cried so fakely, she really had no performance spirit at all.

What's more, it's really lawless to slam his own son's head with a bucket of shit.

He was trying to seize the manufacturing process of the flintlock pistol. If such a big hat was taken off, would his son still be alive?

Li Ji and Fang Xuanling stared blankly at Yang Fan's performance, their jaws almost dropped in shock.

Cheng Yaojin dominated the court with his ability to play tricks, but maybe he didn't have half the skill of Yang Fan, right?

Li Jing was originally calm and calm, but when he heard Yang Fan's words, he pulled out a few beards on his chin without realizing it.

Changsun Wuji opened his mouth and couldn't believe that there were such shameless people in this world.

No wonder his son suffered in front of this guy again and again.

Even with your own abilities, you still have to be careful when dealing with such rogues.

Xiao Yu covered his face with his hands and glanced at His Majesty Li Er with his peripheral vision. If His Majesty the Emperor hadn't been here, he would have really wanted to give him two thumbs up.

This nephew and son-in-law is really awesome!

Sitting on the throne, His Majesty Li Er felt his head aching as he watched the two of them feel more aggrieved than the other, cry harder than the other, and speak more rationally than the other.

Especially this guy Yang Fan, he was going to drive him crazy!

So he shouted loudly: "Shut up for me, are you trying to make noise to death?"

Everyone was stunned by His Majesty Li Er's foul language.

His Majesty Li Er has always been gentle and polite, and obeys others' orders. Now he is directly cursing, obviously disturbed and upset.

Yang Fan held his tongue and did not speak.

I haven't even reached the level of running a business in my previous life. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is exaggerating!

But he immediately shut up and looked aggrieved.

Duan Zhixuan did not dare to speak out, but he felt more and more aggrieved. It was his son who suffered the loss!

This bastard's eloquence is really good, but he just shied away completely.

It seems that his son is the big bad guy who bullies men and dominates women, and Yang Fan is the little daughter-in-law who gets offended.

If his son hadn't suffered a loss, Duan Zhixuan would have almost believed Yang Fan's lies.

The situation is extremely unfavorable to my Duan family!

Secretly glancing at His Majesty Li Er, the Emperor's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the cold light flashing from time to time in his eyes made Duan Zhixuan tremble with fear...

Rubbing his temples, His Majesty Li Er felt quite embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Although these two guys are confused and confused when they talk about their parents' reasons and their wives' reasons, in fact, the whole story is very clear.

If we were to argue who was right and who was wrong, of course Duan Zan was more wrong.

After all, the cause of the matter was that Duan Zan came to show off his power, which triggered Yang Fan's counterattack, but his attack was a bit heavier.

His Majesty Li Er didn't know what kind of madness Duan Zan had, but he actually came to find trouble with Yang Fan on the pretext of provoking a provocation and forcing his brother to confess. Isn't this because he was full?

This case has been characterized by itself, and Duan Guan was originally one of the persons involved.

Is there anything to overturn in this case? Isn’t it okay to question your own judgment?

His Majesty Li Er glared at Duan Zhixuan with hatred.

I asked you not to discipline your son well and let him be fed and exploited by a wealthy family. Why did you provoke this stick?

Of course, if it ends here, it must be Duan Zan's fault and he must bear full responsibility.

But the question is, is Yang Fan someone who can suffer the loss of being dumb?

The results of it?

This mallet just chopped your son off!

This matter has a great impact.

From this aspect, Yang Fan went too far. After all, there was something that could be handled by the government.

It's just that everything has a cause and an effect. If Duan Zan didn't provoke Yang Fan, how could he be killed by Yang Fan?

In the end, everyone has responsibilities and everyone can distinguish priorities.

What really troubled His Majesty Li Er was not this, but the embarrassment of his face as an emperor.

Why do you say that?

At the beginning, Yang Fan used the flint pistol to show his power in Tubo, and relied on the newly invented firearms to destroy the Tubo country.

His Majesty Li Er has always been thinking about it, and he also attaches great importance to such an important weapon of the country.

In order to balance Yang Fan's lawless character, a small number of flint pistols were assigned to the Left Guard Army.

His Majesty Li Er naively believed that with a sharp weapon like a flint pistol, it would have the same power no matter who it was put into the hands of.
