Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 133: My sword does not kill women and children, Liu Hong and Fan Xian impeach each other (plus more chapters)

Hearing Yuan Meng's words, Liu Hong laughed instead.

He looked at Yuan Meng strangely.

"You committed a crime yourself, and you should be punished by the Kyoto Prefecture. Why are you asking me, a military minister who has nothing to do with business, Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Meng gritted her teeth. Kyoto Prefecture? Haha…

Those officials and constables had already been bribed by Liu Hong, and they were about to enter the Kyoto prison.

Not to mention whether he could hold on, he would probably die in prison before Prince Jing could use his connections to rescue him.

"Sir! I am just a weak woman, what can I do? I hope you can give me a quick death!"

Yuan Meng smiled bitterly, knowing that with her looks, it would be uncomfortable to go to prison.

As one of the two most beautiful courtesans at Liujin River and Zuixianju, Yuan Meng was quite confident about this.

"You think too much. My sword will not kill the old, young, women or children."

Liu Hong shook his head and took a step back, as if ready to let Yuan Meng go.

Yuan Meng felt hopeful and ran towards the gate of Baoyue Tower.

Several detectives from Kyoto Prefecture grabbed Yuan Meng as if they had been prepared.

"Liu Hong, you are treacherous! Didn't you say you would not kill women and children?"

Hope was shattered again, and Yuan Meng screamed heartbreakingly.

Fan Xian, who was originally deep in thought in the attic, couldn't help but stick his head out to read the gossip.

"That's right, so I carry a knife on a daily basis."

Liu Hong hooked his finger at Yuan Meng, revealing a dagger on his sleeve.

This girl is a little too naive! Relying on her beauty, she wants to intervene in the dispute between the royal children and win the favor of Prince Jing.

There is basically no other way to describe this behavior except being in love.

Even if he succeeded, Prince Jing would at most take Yuan Meng as his concubine.

Liu Hong and Fan Xian both tried to avoid the royal struggle, but Yuan Meng was ready to intervene.

Do you really think this is just a game? This is a life-and-death struggle.

"Alas, Sang Wen is still the best. He has a quiet personality and does not fight with the world."

Liu Hong sighed, and after seeing Yuan Meng's fate, Shi Chanli nodded in sympathy.

In the future, when you look for a wife, you will have to learn from adults.

Liu Hong returned to the Minister's Mansion and, taking advantage of the fact that Fan Ruoruo had not yet married, he spent a long time with Sang Wen again.

Listen to the pipa music, plant flowers, raise fish, and the backyard becomes more lively.

Zhang Liang originally wanted to persuade Liu Hong not to lose his ambition because of beauty and playthings.

But seeing Sang Wen's smile from the bottom of his heart, he still sighed slowly.

Forget it! After all, Sang Wen will be arriving at Qianlong Bay soon. The adults feel guilty about it, so it is only right for them to spend more time with her.

With the help of some people, the news of Baoyue Tower spread to all parts of Kyoto.

In a short time, the reputation of the Fan family, the royal family, and Liu Hong plummeted.

After all, forcing decent women to buy or sell things does not give them a good reputation.

Ordinary people would not analyze the twists and turns carefully, they just need to know who the owners of the infamous Baoyue Tower are.

The royal family and the Fan family stayed indoors, waiting for the storm to subside.

Liu Hong, however, did not care about it and continued to do as he pleased, allowing Shi Chanli to continue running Baoyue Tower and changing the business model.

Taking advantage of the fact that the royal children, Versace and others were concerned about their reputations, he completely took control of Baoyue Tower in one go.

There is a saying that goes, my house will never collapse, because I am a ruin.

Among the industries in Kyoto, Liu Hong already runs Zuixianju, so what would he be afraid of adding Baoyue Tower?

After openly falling out with the Second Prince this time, Zuixianju will definitely be forced to take back and must take control of Baoyue Tower.

At the same time, a memorial from Fan Xian from Si Nan Bo's mansion shook the court, which should have been in a state of stagnation. Fan Xian actually impeached his brother-in-law Liu Hong for corruption and perverting the law, and for instigating Fan Sizhe to run a brothel.

The content of the impeachment was not very serious, but for the officials in the court, it was like an earthquake.

Everyone was wondering if this was Fan Xian's personal behavior or Si Nanbo's intention.

Whether Liu Hong has angered the Fan family, he will no longer get the support of the Fan family's connections.

Then Liu Hong wrote a letter of self-defense, which shocked all the officials in the court.

It is obvious that Liu Hong often left his post during his diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. Although he had legitimate reasons, his merits and demerits offset each other at most.

Liu Hong impeached Fan Xian for deserting his post and fabricated a lot of gossip.

It is said that Fan Xian is almost twenty years old, an age that can pierce through steel plates, and he often leaves the diplomatic corps to go to brothels to relieve his sexual desire. Baoyue Tower is just the result of Versace trying to please Fan Xian.

Such blatant slander.

Fan Xian, the person involved, was so angry that he started cursing and got a little angry.

Liu Hong was accused of being dishonest and often running towards Si Lili's carriage during his diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. Whether there was any special activity or not was left for the ministers to guess.

For a time, scandalous news about Liu Hong and Fan Xian was flying everywhere.

However, the two of them had a good understanding and were very restrained, and they only dealt with the issue of responsibility for Baoyue Tower and the romantic scandal.

In the imperial study of the palace, Emperor Qing crossed his legs and looked through the impeachment memorials between Liu Hong and Fan Xian, with the corners of his mouth unconsciously rising.

Emperor Qing knew that this was just a show performed for himself.

But sometimes, once the show begins, you may have no say over it.

So Emperor Qing was still in a good mood. He had been paying attention to Liu Hong for two years. It seemed that Liu Hong still maintained a good relationship with the Fan family.

In any case, this chess piece that checks and balances the Qin family must be abandoned.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with the fight between Master Fan and Master Liu?"

Eunuch Hou pretended to be dumb and waited for Emperor Qing's final opinion.

Emperor Qing glanced at the old dog.

He turned over lazily and lay on the bed. Seeing this, Eunuch Hou started to massage Emperor Qing's back.

"Since my two most trusted young ministers are arguing endlessly and each has his own story, let's talk it out at the grand court meeting."

When Eunuch Hou heard this, his eyes were filled with confusion.

But I just kept quiet and didn't say much.

He is a smart man who knows what to know and what not to know!
Emperor Qing read through the memorial again and became more and more satisfied.

The reason why the imperial power is so high is because the people below are constantly fighting. If all the ministers are united, wouldn't the emperor just become a puppet?
"How about this! Liu Hong and Fan Xian are almost family, why are you still so angry? Why not move Fan Ruoruo's wedding forward a bit?"

Emperor Qing seemed to speak casually.

"what do you think?"

The hand pressing on Emperor Qing's back trembled slightly.

Eunuch Hou mustered up his courage and finally spoke reluctantly.

"Your Majesty! Lord Xiao Fan hasn't gotten married yet, but Lord Liu has already gotten married. Isn't this unreasonable?"

"Fan Xian's marriage is a national affair, while Liu Hong's marriage is just a family affair. They cannot be lumped together."

Emperor Qing shook his head.

Although Eunuch Hou did not understand, since Emperor Qing had made up his mind, he, as his personal eunuch, could only obey the imperial eunuch.

On the third day after Liu Hong and Fan Xian impeached each other, the imperial edict from the palace was delivered to the mansion.

Liu Hong gave the young eunuch who delivered the imperial edict several hundred taels of silver and sent him away. Then he played with the shining imperial edict in his hand with a somewhat ambiguous attitude.

"Sir, Miss Sang Wen has been sent away. Commander Cheng is personally escorting her. I think there won't be any danger on this trip."

Ji Xin looked at the imperial edict in Liu Hong's hand, as if he understood something, and spoke to comfort him.

Liu Hong nodded, without saying anything more, and handed the imperial edict directly to Zhang Liang.
