Girl, let me check it out.

"After all, you never considered them as your sons, did you?"

Xiao Fuwei said with a laugh.

As soon as these words were spoken, the group of generals behind him immediately burst into laughter.

The head of the Wang family of Langya, Shangshu Zuocheng Wang Yan, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but also laughed.

The promotion path of these military generals did not rely on the civil service system, and most of them entered the officialdom through favor and military merit. Therefore, they did not have any awe for the Uehara Wang family.

Wang Tun was holding a tablet in his hand, with his eyes closed and resting calmly, as if he had not heard what Xiao Fuwei said at all.

He indeed did not speak, but the other members of the Uehara Wang family around him could no longer sit still.

"Xiao Fuwei, the emperor is sitting in the Taiji court. What crime should you be punished for speaking nonsense and barking wildly?"

An official in a scarlet robe stepped forward and spoke angrily.

Xiao Fuwei smiled contemptuously.

"Indeed, the charge is quite serious."

"I think it should be much more serious than Fang Weihan killing someone."

"Wang Zhongguang had killed so many people on a daily basis, and now he was killed, it can be said that God has a good will."

"Come on, lock me up."

He opened his arms and looked at the Wang official with disdain.

"you!"

The official Wang's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word.

When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.

People like Xiao Fuwei, who possess the characteristics of both a scholar and a soldier, are naturally more difficult to deal with.

A military civilian is still a military civilian who is very good at fighting.

"Your Majesty."

The calm Wang Tun finally spoke.

As soon as he said this, the noisy hall fell silent.

Although his voice was not loud, it gave people a sense of majesty as that of a mountain.

"Excuse me, what do you think about my useless second son being killed in the street by Guangling King Fang Weihan?"

Wang Tun asked calmly.

As Wang Tun spoke, everyone couldn't help but look up at the man in the dragon robe who was standing high above them.

"Ok?"

Fang Zun seemed to have just come back to his senses from being distracted.

He yawned and said lazily:

"Have you finished your discussion, my dear ministers?"

"Your Majesty, we are asking for your opinion."

Wang Tun said lightly.

In terms of tone and wording, this sentence is extremely presumptuous.

However, coming from the mouth of the patriarch of the Uehara Wang family, it doesn't feel very abrupt.

Obviously Fang Zun didn't take Wang Tun's attitude to heart.

"Oh, I have no objection."

Fang Zun said with a smile.

"My useless nephew has been a little crazy since he was young. It was because I didn't discipline him strictly that he got into such a terrible disaster today."

"I have no objection to how you, my dear ministers, wish to deal with this matter."

There was no care in his words, as if he had given up on his nephew's life.

"How about this... I see that the opinions of you gentlemen seem to be somewhat divided, so how about we hold a referendum among the eight surnames?"

Fang Zun said with a smile.

"can."

Wang Tun nodded.

"So what does Wang Zhongshu think... how should I deal with my useless nephew?"

Fang Zun yawned again, looking like he hadn't gotten enough rest.

"One life for another, the law of nature is eternal."

Wang Tun said lightly.

"A murderer must pay with his life. This rule cannot be broken, even for a royal prince. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Before Fang Zun could say anything, he heard Xiao Fuwei on the side interrupt Wang Tun with a sneer.

"The murderer must pay with his life? Wang Zhongguang has killed so many people, why doesn't he have to pay with his life?"

Wang Tun began to close his eyes and rest his mind again.

He didn't want to argue with Xiao Fuwei at all because it was a meaningless act.

Uehara Wang's position has never been about the right or wrong of the matter, but about the interests and dignity of the family.

The Shangyuan Wang family is not in the right in this matter, but they are the Shangyuan Wang family, not lawyers.

"Then Xiao Qing, in your opinion, what punishment should be given to Fang Weihan?"

Fang Zun asked.

"Young people are bound to be impulsive and make mistakes. What's more, His Highness Prince Guangling did this for a reason. I think a one-year fine will be sufficient."

Xiao Fuwei said with a cupped hand.

The ministers in the audience were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Good guys, one of you said you wanted to kill him directly, and the other said a fine would be enough.

It seems that the conflict between the Xiao family of Lanling and the Wang family of Shangyuan has been exposed.

"Ah."

Fang Zun clapped his hands with interest.

"Secretary Wang said he would sentence my nephew to death, and General Xiao said he would fine him one year's salary."

"What about the other dear ministers? What are your opinions?"

Fang Zun looked at Shangshu Zuocheng Wang Yan.

"Wang Zuocheng, what do you mean?"

"I think that His Royal Highness Prince Guangling was just impulsive. One year's salary will suffice. It mainly serves as a warning."

Wang Yan responded respectfully.

"Um……"

Fang Zun's eyes flashed with strange colors, and he pondered for a moment.

"I second the proposal."

Another middle-aged man's powerful voice sounded.

Fang followed the sound and looked.

The head of Wuxing Shen family, Shen Chengyong, the Palace Attendant.

Fang Zun was a little surprised.

"It seems that Lord Shen also believes that Prince Guangling's crime does not deserve death."

Fang Zun said with a smile.

Wang Tun opened his eyes, looked at Wu Chengyong and Wang Yan expressionlessly, and then closed his eyes again.

"I believe that the King of Guangling should be sentenced to death."

The speaker was the head of the Hedong Pei family and former general Pei Kaiting.

Fang Zun smiled and nodded.

The Hedong Pei family and the Uehara Wang family are in the same spirit and will almost unconditionally support all the Uehara Wang family's decisions. Fang Zun is not surprised that they stood up to support the Uehara Wang family today.

The three families in Heshuo have been like this since ancient times. Now one more family is missing, the Lu family of Fanyang, and they are expected to jump out soon.

As Fang Zun expected, after Pei Kaiting finished speaking, Fan Yang Lu also expressed their position.

Since their head of the family, Lu Tainian, was in Fan Yang and not in Changming, he sent someone else to convey the family's opinions.

He firmly supported the Wang family of Shangyuan and resolutely drew a clear line between himself and the separatist forces of the Great Zhou.

"Um……"

Fang Zun groaned.

"The Wang family of Shangyuan, the Pei family of Hedong, and the Lu family of Fanyang support the death penalty, while the Xiao family of Lanling, the Shen family of Wuxing, and the Wang family of Langya support salary deduction."

He looked towards the left rear of the Tai Chi Hall.

"Mr. Zhou, the opinion of the Runan Zhou family is..."

Fang Zun asked with a smile.

The person he was questioning was the head of the Zhou family of Runan, the Chief Censor, Zhou Liangyi.

He is the youngest patriarch among the Eight Surnames. At the age of only thirty, he has already taken charge of a huge family that is one of the Eight Surnames.

"I don't know."

Zhou Liangyi said calmly.

"Both ways of handling this matter make sense, and I think both are acceptable."

"Oh……"

Fang Zun was even more surprised now.

Zhou Liangyi actually abstained from voting?

What's going on here?

Hasn’t the Zhou family of Runan always been a die-hard supporter of the Wang family of Shangyuan?

In such a crucial occasion to express one's stance, Zhou Liangyi actually abstained from voting?

What a hell.

Xiao Fuwei, Shen Chengyong and Wang Yan looked at each other and exchanged glances.

They felt that the matter had been settled today.

"Mr. Xie, where is the Xie family of Chenjun?"

Fang Zun looked at the last of the eight patriarchs who had not spoken.

Xie Tao was extremely calm.

He faced everyone's gazes and walked calmly to the center of the hall.

"According to my opinion."

Xie Tao bowed and said calmly.

"Deserve the death penalty."

Wang Tun still had his eyes closed, as if nothing in this world could arouse his interest.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Fuwei frowned instantly, thinking that something was not good.

He had heard from his beloved niece that there was still an unclear and complicated relationship between Xie Lingwan and Fang Weihan.
