Chapter 136 Man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation
A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Fan Xian's mouth.
"So this result is better than letting him run away?"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Oh, ten thousand times stronger!"
Fan Xian looked like he was kidding me.
"I'm not kidding you!"
Mei Chengan spread his hands.
"I'm not kidding you. What's the point of using a fake identity? Wouldn't it be better to use the real one?"
Fan Xian was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Mei Chengan pointed at him and smiled.
"You are just too concerned. When you heard that your friend was in trouble, your brain was so panicked that you forgot what I told you before. The prince's words don't count. His Majesty's words count."
Fan Xian was stunned for a few seconds, then he remembered that he had talked about this with his fellow villager on the way to the Supervisory Office to retrieve the documents, but he had really forgotten about it in a hurry.
Fan Xian let out a long sigh and patted his chest.
"I was so scared! I was so scared! Why didn't you remind me earlier? I was worried for so long!"
Mei Chengan uttered a "hey".
"You're alive again, huh? And you've even learned to turn the tables!"
Fan Xian chuckled.
"I forgot, sorry."
Mei Chengan, who had been bullied before, had long wanted to take revenge. Mei Chengan looked at him with a smile.
"Are you still giving me the cold shoulder?"
Fan Xian looked embarrassed and quickly waved his hands.
"No, no, no."
Mei Chengan pursued the victory.
"Call Dad."
Fan Xian is very well-behaved.
"father!"
Hmm? Are you so obedient? Mei Chengan was getting more and more demanding.
"Kneel down and apologize to Dad!"
Fan Xian's expression changed and he pointed at Mei Cheng'an.
"That's about it, or I'll have to talk to my uncle Wuzhu about your attempt to stab him."
Mei Cheng'an leaned over.
"I still remember this!"
Fan Xian had regained his strength and was actually a little excited.
"So what do I need to do next?"
Mei Chengan looked at him with contempt.
"You don't have to do anything. Just pretend you don't know and wait for the prince to make trouble."
After saying that, Mei Cheng'an hissed. He remembered something. In the drama, the prince launched an attack in Kyoto Prefecture while the case of Fan Xian beating Guo Baokun was being tried in Kyoto Prefecture. Now that this case is gone, the prince will not hold a joint trial by the three courts, right? After all, the crime of deceiving the emperor is a serious crime. If... No, no, it shouldn't happen. It would be too troublesome. The prince shouldn't go through so much trouble.
Fan Xian asked.
"what happened?"
Mei Chengan waved his hand.
"Nothing. To be honest, I don't know which government office should handle this crime of deceiving the emperor. But since the prince asked my father to do it, I think it will be handled by my father in Kyoto Prefecture."
Fan Xian was curious.
"Is your uncle also from the prince's lineage?"
Mei Chengan shook his head.
"No."
Fan Xian was stunned.
"Then why would uncle... Oh, that's right, it's hard for uncle to refuse the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Mei Chengan smiled and didn't explain to him. There was no need.
Fan Xian suddenly had an idea.
"Hey, tell me, should I add some more firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously?"
Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows.
"why?"
Fan Xian said.
"The prince has gone too far this time. He attacked my friend and crossed my bottom line. He does it on the first day, and I do it on the fifteenth. I have to tell him that I am not someone you can mess with. Anyway, I have His Majesty's support, so I have nothing to fear."
Mei Chengan nodded.
"Good idea, how would you like to add firewood?"
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes.
"If he touches my people, then I will touch his people."
"..."
Mei Chengan thought to himself, no way, is world line correction so awesome?
"How and who?"
Fan Xian thought about it and looked at Mei Chengan embarrassedly.
"Well, you see, I know a man who belongs to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Kyoto, and he has disgusted me several times. It's not too much for me to beat him up, right?"
"..."
Mei Cheng'an thought to himself, Mr. Guo, oh, Mr. Guo, is this a disaster in your destiny?
"Guo Baokun?"
Fan Xian smiled shyly.
"Well, after all, he is your younger brother, you see..."
Mei Chengan looked at him with a half-smile.
"After all, he was the one who provoked you. If I stop him, it would be biased. You should resolve the cause and effect between you two. I am not in a position to interfere. However...be careful not to hurt him. Young Master Guo is a bit of a bully and can be easily taken advantage of. He is not a bad person at heart."
Fan Xian smiled.
"I can see that you don't look very smart. Don't worry, I will control the situation well."
Mei Chengan nodded.
"When and where are you going to start?"
Fan Xian thought about it.
"Let's wait until late at night when everyone is asleep. Hidden away. By the way, do you know where he often hangs out?"
Mei Chengan was speechless.
"You beat up my little brother and you still want to ask me for information about him?"
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment and then smiled awkwardly.
"I just said it casually. Sorry, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes at him.
"Are you planning to do it openly or secretly?"
Fan Xian thought about it for a moment.
"Let's do it openly or secretly. I want him to know who I am, but I can't let him see me. I also have to think of a way to find an alibi for myself. I just want to vent my anger, not really cause trouble for myself."
"..."
This fucking trajectory has happened again.
It really proves the saying that man proposes, God disposes.
Mei Cheng'an looked outside the yard at the sky.
"Okay, then you have to hurry up, it's almost the evening hour." Fan Xian also looked over.
"Then I'll go."
Mei Chengan waved his hand.
"Go slowly and don't send me away!"
Fan Xian nodded, stood up and left.
Mei Cheng'an watched him go, and when his figure disappeared, he stood up and stretched.
"Comfortable."
Sweet potato came up behind him with brisk steps.
"Master, the master just sent someone to tell you that after Master Fan leaves, you should go to the study."
Mei Chengan nodded.
"I see."
After saying that, he got up from his seat, stretched his arms and legs for a while, then walked towards the study with his hands behind his back.
After entering the study, Mei Chengan asked.
"Caught it?"
Mei Zhili looked up at him.
"Fan Xian is gone?"
Mei Chengan nodded.
"Just left."
"Did you tell him about Teng Zijing's matter?"
"Ah."
"Did he blame you for not telling him in advance?"
Mei Chengan smiled.
"It's just a small matter. It's all resolved. Did you catch him smoothly, Dad?"
Mei Zhili nodded.
"The person has been handed over to the prince."
"Oh."
……
Fan Mansion.
Fan Xian returned home and went straight to Fan Ruoruo's yard.
"Ruoruo, find someone to help me find out where Guo Baokun is tonight."
Fan Ruoruo was just getting up to greet him and was a little confused when she heard this.
"Guo Baokun? Why would I want to know his whereabouts?"
Fan Xian said.
"Don't ask so many questions. I'll tell you in detail later. Find someone to help me find out first."
Fan Ruoruo said "oh".
"No need to bother. He should be along the Flowing Crystal River at night."
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows.
"Along the Flowing Crystal River? What is that place?"
Fan Ruoruo was a little embarrassed.
"Uh... brothels. Guo Baokun is a playboy by nature. He often hangs out in brothels and boats. The banks of Liujing River are full of those businesses."
Fan Xian looked at his sister in surprise.
"How do you know this?"
Fan Ruoruo felt a little embarrassed.
"He was causing trouble for me, so I privately asked someone to find out his details, thinking that I might be able to use them. I didn't expect that it would really come in handy."
As Fan Ruoruo spoke, her face changed. She thought of a possibility and looked worried.
"Brother, you are asking about his whereabouts. You are not thinking...Brother, he is the prince's disciple after all. No matter what you want to do, you have to protect yourself."
Fan Xian smiled.
"If he wasn't the prince's disciple, I wouldn't have looked for him. Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
Fan Ruoruo nodded, as long as she knew it was fine.
Fan Xian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. In a brothel, drinking wine to create an alibi should be the easiest and most convenient way. However, now that he had Wan'er, this excuse was not appropriate.
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable one, so I simply gave up. At worst, I could just keep fighting tonight and not reveal my identity on purpose. They could guess it was me anyway, but they had no evidence. The evidence that the two of them had a conflict a few days ago was not enough, so I could just figure it out slowly when the time came.
Having made up his mind, Fan Xian looked relaxed. But then he thought of Teng Zijing's matter and his expression became serious again. Teng Zijing was arrested and his wife and children must be scared. He had to go and comfort them quickly.
After thinking about it, Fan Xian looked at his sister.
"Ruoruo, do me a favor and ask someone to prepare a fast horse for me. I need to leave the city."
Fan Ruoruo looked at the sky and was extremely surprised.
"Leaving town? Now? It's almost dark."
Fan Xian explained.
"I'm going to look for... Teng Zijing. There's something going on. Don't worry, I'll be back before dinner."
Fan Ruoruo nodded.
"Okay, brother, I'll have someone prepare it right away!"
……
Royal Villa.
The lady-in-waiting sent by the eldest princess has arrived.
"break off an engagement?"
Lin Wan'er was extremely surprised. She didn't expect that her mother had sent someone to see her after all the effort, and the person she was talking about was actually this matter.
The female official nodded slightly.
"Yes! His Highness said that this marriage was not what she wanted in the first place. Moreover, she was even more unhappy when she heard that Fan Xian was arrogant and domineering and committed crimes in the street. Although the palace has not given in on this matter, His Highness will definitely try to make plans. This marriage agreement will be cancelled and the princess will never be allowed to marry casually. The princess should not worry and should not take the initiative to contact Fan Xian again. His Highness is afraid that Fan Xian's absurd behavior will offend the princess again!"
Lin Wan'er had a very conflicted expression. She had wanted to cancel the engagement before, but now she doesn't want to do that anymore.
The female official had been observing Lin Wan'er's expression, and when she saw this, she started asking.
"Does the princess have anything she wants me to tell His Highness?"
Lin Wan'er waved her hands subconsciously, then put them down and nodded after she came to her senses.
The lady-in-waiting smiled.
"Princess, please speak."
Lin Wan'er looked at the female official, her tone full of hesitation and uneasiness.
"Please tell my mother that this marriage...would be cancelled."
The female official nodded.
"What good?"
The female official looked up at Lin Wan'er in astonishment.
"The princess just said... that the marriage will not be cancelled?"
Lin Wan'er blushed and nodded.
The female official was at a loss as to what to do with this and lost her composure.
"Jun, didn't the princess always want to cancel the engagement? Why did you suddenly change your mind? What happened..."
The female officer narrowed her eyes.
"Is it because I met Fan Xian at Prince Jing's Mansion today?"
