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

Xia Yan suddenly bowed to Fang Ping and said solemnly, "As an official of the imperial court, I am supposed to abide by the law and fulfill my duties. However, instead of being strict with myself, I know the law and break it. Therefore, I should be punished with a higher level of punishment."

"I also ask Mr. Fang to put the overall situation first, not to worry about irrelevant details, enforce the law impartially, and determine the punishment for the crime."

Having said this, he sighed inexplicably, and then glanced at Lu Chen, who was silent, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

After retracting his gaze, he spoke again, but his voice became somewhat depressed for no reason.

"For a person as unforgivable as I am, only the execution ground is the real destination. Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. I have thought about it for a long time in the past few days, and I still feel that only the death penalty can atone for the sins committed by me. Please give Lu the matter and Mr. Fang to make it happen."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

They had fully reacted at this time.

Xia Yan's case was not as simple as corruption. Fang Ping and Lu Chen were right. There must be something hidden in this case.

If he is said to be a corrupt official, what exactly is he coveting?

money?Not a cent of his corrupt money went into his own pocket.

Power and position?He has been a county magistrate in Yongchuan for the past six years. He was not promoted even one level during the Queen Mother's chaos. Every time he was evaluated, he was average.

Fame and fortune?He and the wealthy gentry in Yongchuan were at odds with each other, and there was no wealthy family to build momentum for him.

Moreover, it was clear that he had a hidden agenda, but he insisted on pleading guilty. Not only did he have no intention of getting out of the crime, but he wanted to die and obey the laws of the country.

what is this?

This is a profound righteousness!

How could such a noble person be the greedy dog ​​official described by those Yongchuan wealthy families?

At this time, even Zhao Bingliang and Qian Yiqian fell silent. Only Hu Yan seemed to have seen a life-saving straw, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurriedly stood up and said in a hurry: "Master Fang, no matter whether there is a secret in this case or not, it is a fact that Xia Yan has been corrupt, accepted bribes, and ignored the national law! What's more, he also colluded with the Demon Queen's gang members to seek personal gain, which is a crime worthy of death! "

"Furthermore, gentlemen, have you considered His Majesty's feelings?"

Gradually, he clarified his thoughts and spoke more clearly.

"The Demon Queen has been in chaos for six years, during which he often humiliated Your Majesty. Fortunately, Your Majesty is a genius and has endured the humiliation and burden for six years. Finally, with the help of Saint King Cangming, he was able to regain control of the court. Now the world has been restored, and there is no longer a member of the Demon Queen's gang in the world. If Xia Yan, a person who colluded with the Queen Mother's gang, is given a lighter sentence or even pardoned for his crimes because of the so-called hidden secrets, where will that leave His Majesty?"

After hearing this, Lu Chen, who was already completely uninterested in Xia Yan's case and just wanted to go home and turn his grief and anger into appetite, suddenly brightened up.

Yup!

No matter what, Xia Yan's charge of colluding with the Queen Mother's gang was proven true.

If he advocated Xia Yan's acquittal, wouldn't that be offending the empress?

This is a good thing!

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's originally defeated eyes suddenly flashed, and fighting spirit appeared in his eyes again.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, an official wearing a high-ranking imperial uniform walked over, accompanied by several petty officials and government servants.

"Ok?"

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

The person who came was Gao Ming, courtesy name Yongnian, the chief executive in charge of public security and government affairs in the Gyeonggi region, including Luojing.

A senior official of the third rank.

Others also looked at Gao Ming, who was walking quickly, with curiosity on their faces, completely confused as to why this official of Luo Jing's parents came to the scene of the interrogation of the three divisions.

Although Hu Yan wanted to settle the case quickly to avoid long nights and dreams, but now a third-grade official came over for no reason. It is estimated that these big guys will want to talk for a while. Naturally, he, a small fifth-grade official, did not dare to say anything, so he could only Wait until the big guys finish talking.

Otherwise, it would appear that he is too ignorant.

However, Gao Ming hurried past all the assistant judges and walked directly to the main judge's desk. After being polite to the three main judges, he looked at Fang Ping and said straight to the point:

"Master Fang, just now several people from Yongchuan County, Jingyang Prefecture, Jingxiang Province came to Shuntian Prefecture to cry out for injustice. They claimed that Xia Yan, the magistrate of Yongchuan County who was arrested before, was a good official and begged me to help them clean up their crimes. Clear Xia Yan's injustice and clear his name so that he can return to Yongchuan as soon as possible and continue to be their Qingtian Grand Master."

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

"Although those common people have little knowledge and are in the wrong place, I cannot turn a blind eye to them and stand by and watch. Moreover, I remember that Xia Yan is the prisoner who was personally told by His Majesty to start the retrial of the three divisions. Those Yongchuan The common people may be related to this case, so I took it upon myself to bring them here. Mr. Fang, you are one of the chief officials of the three divisions. Do you think you should let them in, ask them, and understand the situation? See if it will help the trial of this case?"

Hearing this, Fang Ping's eyes suddenly opened.

"should!"

Before the other two chief judges could say anything, he responded excitedly: "That's right! Mr. Gao, you came at the perfect time! Where are they now? Please send someone to bring them in quickly. !”

Gao Ming couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw that his old friend, who had always been mature and prudent, actually had such a side.

However, he did not agree immediately, but looked at the other two presiding judges.

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

Yongchuan people?

How could these ignorant Guizhou people who don't know Chinese characters come 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 spiritual formations, it is not easy to go there and back. What's more, you have to pay high tolls to take the official road, and you have to prepare a lot of travel expenses for the long journey. Moreover, the world is not peaceful now, and you may be robbed by bandits on the road. A bad outcome is that you will lose both your money and your life.

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

And these Yongchuan people were actually willing to pay so much and take such great risks to come to Luojing to avenge Xia Yan?

How can this be?

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

Do they really regard Xia Yan as their parents?

Zhao Bingliang thought for a moment and asked directly: "Master Gao, are those people really Yongchuan people? Are there any credentials to prove their identities?"

When he tried it himself, his first reaction was disbelief.

Although Qian Yiqian did not question it, he did not stop Zhao Bingliang from asking.

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

"What? Could it be that I will bring some unrelated people here to disrupt the court? Or, Mr. Zhao, do you suspect that I have evil intentions and intend to obstruct the trial of the three divisions?"

There was no trace of dissatisfaction in his words.

After all, Zhao Bingliang's words were simply questioning his ability to do things. How could he endure this?

It is true that the Minister of Dali Temple is a third-rank official, but he is also a senior 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 quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "Master Gao, don't get me wrong. I'm not questioning you, I just want to confirm..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Ming snorted coldly.

"I can guarantee that these common people must be from Yongchuan. If not, I will ask to be dismissed from office, so as not to delay His Majesty's ambition to rejuvenate the Xia Dynasty due to my incompetence."

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

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

"Never mind!"

Zhao Bingliang quickly denied it.

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

If he deliberately prevented the persons involved in the case from attending court, it would be obstructing audio and video, a crime he could not bear.

Now that Gao Ming personally guaranteed it, he naturally did not dare to say more and agreed directly.

Qian Yiqian didn't say much.

These senior officials were communicating on the main interrogation stage, but the people below could not hear clearly what they were saying. They could only see that Gao Ming's face was not very good, and he seemed to be angry.

After a while, Gao Ming called for a yamen servant.

"Go and bring them in."

they?

This time everyone heard it clearly, but they still looked confused and couldn't figure out who to bring over.

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

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

After agreeing, he turned around and walked quickly outside.

Not long after, he came in with seven or eight people wearing linen clothes, with fair faces and extremely rough exposed skin.

These are obviously ordinary people who have been living a life with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky. They look extremely different and conspicuous in front of a group of well-dressed officials.

Seeing the officials from Shuntian Mansion coming in with a group of people, the doubts on everyone's faces suddenly became more intense.

What are you doing bringing people here at this time?

However, they did not wonder for long, and soon knew the reason for Shuntian Fuyin's sudden arrival.

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

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

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

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