Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Um?"

Fang Ping looked at the person and asked in surprise, "Master Gao, why are you here?"

The person who came here was the chief executive in charge of public security and government affairs in the Gyeonggi region, including Luojing—the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Gao Ming, whose name was Yongnian.

He is a senior official of the third rank.

The others also looked curiously at Gao Ming, who was walking quickly, completely confused about why this Luo Jing's parent officer came to the scene of the trial of the third division.

Although Hu Yan wanted to settle the case quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams, but now there was an inexplicable third-rank official coming over, and it was estimated that these big shots would have to talk about it for a while, so naturally he, a small fifth-rank official, didn't dare to say much, so he could only talk about it. Wait until the big guys finish talking.

Otherwise, it would appear that he is too ignorant.

However, he saw Gao Ming hurried past a group of trial assistants, and walked directly to the presiding judge's stand. After a little courteous greetings with the three presiding judges, he looked at Fang Ping, and said straight to the point:

"Master Fang, just now a few people from Yongchuan County, Jingyang Prefecture, Jingyang Prefecture, went to the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen to cry out their grievances. They claimed that Xia Yan, the county magistrate of Yongchuan County, who was arrested earlier, was a good official, and begged me to help them wash their hands. For Qing Xiayan's grievances, return his innocence so that he can return to Yongchuan as soon as possible and continue to be their Master Qingtian."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, took a breath, and then continued:

"Although those common people have little knowledge and found the wrong place, I can't turn a blind eye to them and stand idly by, and I remember that Xia Yan was the prisoner who was personally confessed by His Majesty to start the retrial of the three divisions. Those Yongchuan The common people may be related to this case, so I brought them here on my own initiative. Mr. Fang, you are one of the chief officials of the three divisions. Do you think we should let them in, ask them, and find out the situation. See if it helps the trial of the case?"

Hearing this, Fang Ping opened his eyes immediately.

"should!"

Without waiting for the other two chief judges to say something, he replied excitedly: "It's too late! Mr. Gao, you came at the right time! Where are they now? Please send someone to bring them in quickly !"

Gao Ming couldn't help being a little taken aback when he saw that his old friend who had always been mature and prudent still had such a side.

However, he did not respond immediately, but looked at the other two chief judges.

However, Qian Yiqian and Zhao Bingliang were not as excited as Fang Ping, but frowned again.

People in Yongchuan?

These ignorant and illiterate heads of Guizhou actually came all the way to the capital?

You must know that Yongchuan is thousands of miles away from Luojing. Even if the official road along the way is blessed by the spirit array, it is not easy to go back and forth. What's more, you have to pay a high toll to take the official road, and you have to prepare a lot of money for the long journey. Moreover, the world is not peaceful now, and there is a possibility of being robbed by robbers on the road. One bad thing is that people and money will end up empty.

Therefore, ordinary people will not travel far if it is not extremely urgent.

And these Yongchuan people are willing to pay such a high price and take such a big risk to come to Luojing to avenge Xia Yan?

How can this be?

Xia Yan is just a small county magistrate, and not their father, how could ordinary people like them do this for him?

Could it be that they really regard Xia Yan as a parent official?

Zhao Bingliang thought for a moment, and asked directly: "Master Gao, are those people really the people of Yongchuan? Is there any evidence to prove their identity?"

His first reaction was to not believe it.

Although Qian Yiqian didn't question it, he didn't open his mouth to stop Zhao Bingliang from asking.

Hearing what Zhao Bingliang said, Gao Ming suddenly had a look of surprise on his face.

"What? Could it be that I will bring some irrelevant people to disturb the court? Or is it Mr. Zhao, do you suspect that I have evil intentions and deliberately obstruct the interrogation of the three divisions?"

The dissatisfaction in the words did not hide the slightest.

After all, what Zhao Bingliang said was simply questioning his ability to handle affairs, how could he bear it?

It's true that Dali Siqing is a senior member of the third rank, but he is also a high-ranking official of the third rank. Even in the official rank, he is not afraid of Zhao Bingliang, so there is no need to give him face.

Zhao Bingliang also quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "Master Gao, don't misunderstand, I am not questioning you, I just want to confirm."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Ming snorted coldly.

"I can assure you that these people must be from Yongchuan. If not, I will ask you to be dismissed from office, so as not to delay your Majesty's great wish to rejuvenate the Great Xia due to your incompetence."

At this moment, Fang Ping's eyes also turned cold.

"Master Zhao, don't you want the people of Yongchuan to come in and let the truth of this case come to light as soon as possible?"

"There is absolutely no such thing!"

Zhao Bingliang quickly denied it.

Just kidding, this is a joint trial of the three divisions, and any matters related to the case cannot be ignored, otherwise it will be dereliction of duty!

If he deliberately obstructed the people involved in the case from going to court, he would be obstructing the audience, and he could not afford this crime.

Now that Gao Ming personally guaranteed it, he naturally didn't dare to say any more and agreed directly.

Qian Yiqian didn't say much either.

These high-ranking officials communicated on the presiding platform, and the people below couldn't hear what they were talking about. They could only see that Gao Ming's face was not very good, as if he had been irritated.

After a while, Gao Ming called a yamen servant.

"Go and bring them in."

them?

This time everyone heard it clearly, but they still looked puzzled, not knowing who to bring over.

The yamen servant nodded heavily, cupped his hands and said:

"Yes, Lord Fuyin!"

After answering, he turned around and walked outside quickly.

Not long after, he brought seven or eight civilians in linen clothes with sallow faces and extremely rough exposed skin.

These plain-headed commoners who are obviously living a life facing the loess and back to the sky all the year round, appear extremely different and conspicuous in front of a group of well-dressed officials.

Seeing the Yamen servants from Shuntian Mansion bring a group of people in, the doubts on the faces of the people suddenly became more intense.

What are you bringing the people over for at this time?

However, they didn't wonder for long, and soon knew the reason for Shuntian Fu Yin's sudden arrival.

But Xia Yan's eyes widened suddenly when he saw those people, his face was full of surprise, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

He stood up suddenly, and then asked loudly to the people walking quickly: "Li Da, Zhao Erhu, Chen Gou'er... why are you here?!"

Those people are exactly Li Da and others who came all the way to Luojing to rescue Xia Yan!

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, everyone was startled.

what's the situation? Xia Yan knew these people?

When they heard someone calling their name, Li Da and the others looked over subconsciously. After seeing Xia Yan's appearance clearly, they suddenly showed ecstasy.

"Lord Xia!"

They shouted excitedly, and at the same time, their footsteps suddenly accelerated, almost running towards Xia Yan.

"Great, Master Xia, you're alright!"

"I've caught up with it!"

Seeing this scene, everyone immediately reacted.

"These people...could they be...the people of Yongchuan County?!"

"Why do people from Yongchuan appear in Luojing?"

"Are they here specially for Xia Yan?"

"No way? Xia Yan, He De, how can... No, according to Mr. Fang's judgment, Xia Yan is neither for fame nor for profit, and all the money he gets from greedy ink is used for management... If these people really treat him like this If you love him, then the person he accepted bribes for, could it be..."

"hiss!"

At the thought of a certain possibility, everyone immediately gasped.

Hu Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He has always been good at calculating. He had vaguely realized something from the conversation between Fang Ping and Xia Yan before, but now he has completely confirmed that guess——

The reason why Xia Yan was boycotted by the rich families and rich merchants in Yongchuan was not because he had too much appetite and was too ugly to eat, which caused dissatisfaction among all the wealthy families and merchants, but because his ass was aimed at those untouchables!

Obviously, Hu Yan was not the only one who realized this.

Lu Chen also had a rough guess about the cause and effect of Xia Yan's case from the ecstatic expressions of those Yongchuan people.

But his reaction was completely opposite to that of Hu Yan!

Seeing the scene of those Yongchuan people kneeling in front of Xia Yan with respect and love, Lu Chen's mind was completely activated.

‘I’m sure about Xia Yan! Satan can't take him away, I said so! ! '

"My lords!"

While Lu Chen was thinking, Li Da suddenly turned around, bowed his head to the three chief judges sitting on the presiding judge's seat, and then kowtowed heavily, before shouting loudly:

"Master Xia is a very good official. We cannot live without Mr. Xia in Yongchuan County! Please don't listen to the slanderous words of those rich and unkind people against Mr. Xia. Mr. Xia is definitely not the dog official they say. It's our Master Qingtian from Yongchuan County!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and shouted boldly:

"I hope all the adults will check it out!"
