"Mr. Lin, Secretary Guan."

After the court dispersed, the ministers walked out of the hall one after another. Liu Daoyun, Lin Yanjiang, and Guan Chenghe walked side by side and talked about the matter of the trial: "Your Majesty himself spoke and issued an order to the three departments for the trial, which shows how much importance it attaches to this matter.

As the presiding judges, you and I shoulder the emperor's orders. We should work together to investigate the case strictly."

"I will investigate and deal with it impartially, but I am afraid that some people will deliberately protect you." Lin Yanjiang glanced at Guan Chenghe, just as he was short of name.

One of the duties of the Inspectorate is to supervise all officials. In recent years, many of Guan Chenghe's confidants have been investigated and impeached. The relationship between the two has long been dissatisfied, and he was not polite and just spoke out loud.

Guan Chenghe snorted coldly and immediately responded: "You are not insincere. I have no connection with Sun Pei, so how can I have selfishness? It's Lord Lin, I heard what you said just now, and this case was discovered by Li Xiuran?

Lord Lin appreciated him very much. Not only did he transfer from Qingyun to the capital, but he also recommended him to the Demon Suppression Department. Not long after he came, he discovered such a major case and was taken to the imperial court by you. It is hard to say whether you have selfish intentions and deliberately accumulate merits for him so that you can be promoted as soon as possible."

Well, the quarrel started again... Liu Daoyun smiled bitterly. He originally wanted to find out the specific case from Lin Yanjiang, but now he has stopped this and smoothed out:

"I can still trust the character of the two adults. Since you said that, I feel relieved. There is still something in the temple, so I will take a step first."

Lin Yanjiang and Guan Chenghe looked at each other, snorted coldly, and then parted ways.

"Thank you just now for helping me." Peng Ce came to Guan Chenghe at the right time and thanked in a low voice.

Guan Chenghe glanced at him: "Didn't you see His Majesty's face just now? You are obviously very unhappy. You are actually trying to touch His Majesty's brow for a county magistrate. It's too unwise."

"After all, Sun Pei was under the rule of this official, and yesterday he had a premonition that something might happen. He came to the mansion to inform me about this, and I promised to cover it up for him..." Peng Ce smiled bitterly.

If he hadn't been worried that Sun Pei would speak randomly after being investigated, he wouldn't bother with him.

"So, Lin Yanjiang's words just now are true?" Guan Chenghe frowned.

Peng Ce nodded with a wry smile: "But the merchant family who bribed Sun Pei has been wiped out. Now there is no evidence to die. It is not easy to verify the case."

Guan Chenghe's face was slightly slower and said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless. When Sun Pei is taken to the heavenly prison, you can arrange someone to ask him if there are any hidden dangers. If so, clean it up as soon as possible so as not to be caught."

"Yes." Peng Ce nodded and responded.

...

Lin Mansion.

Yesterday, Lin Yanjiang said that when he went to court today, he would report Xiu'e's injustice to the emperor, so Li Xiuran and Yang Wenxin, Chi Qingwan came to the Lin family again early in the morning, waiting for the result.

Xiu'e also appeared beside her, sitting in the hall, her eyes curled up to look outside the door, her face was anxious, and she waited for a long time, and finally saw Lin Yanjiang coming back and entering the door, and quickly got up and greeted him:

"Sir, can your Majesty agree to investigate the dog official?"

Lin Yanjiang looked at her and smiled and said, "Agree, I will report your injustice to Your Majesty. After hearing this, Your Majesty was furious and ordered the Ministry of Justice, the Inspectorate and the Three Departments of Dali Temple to conduct a trial to jointly investigate the case and the court will be opened tomorrow."

"It's actually the Three Divisions' Trials' Trials. It seems that Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter." Li Xiuran was overjoyed at the heretic.

The Huyan Empire implemented a three-province and six-minister system. In addition, there were Dali Temple, which was in charge of review of various cases, the Inspectorate, which was responsible for supervision and impeachment, and the Ministry of Justice, which was in charge of criminal prisons, and the Three Laws.

Now the three highest law enforcement agencies jointly review the case, which is considered the highest interrogation mechanism, which is even better than he expected.

Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan were also happy and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiu'e cried out in joy and fell to the ground: "Thank you, Lord, for making decisions for the people."

"Get up, I haven't finished speaking yet, don't be too happy for now."

Lin Yanjiang frowned and said, "Today, when I impeached Sun Pei to Your Majesty, Peng Ce, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, suddenly stood up and argued for him. It was obviously Sun Pei's backer in the court.

Peng Ce is also a member of Guan Chenghe, the Minister of Justice. During this trial, Guan Chenghe is also one of the presiding judges and will inevitably speak for Sun Pei.

With him here, this trial may cause some twists and turns."

No wonder Sun Ce dares to be so lawless at the foot of the capital. It turns out that there is a backstage... Li Xiuran suddenly realized.

Xiu'e immediately said anxiously: "What should we do?"

Lin Yanjiang pondered and said, "If you want to punish Sun Pei, you must have conclusive evidence. Your confession alone is not enough.

But the Zhao Kang family is dead, which means there is no evidence of death. If you want to prove that Sun Pei had been bribed by him, it is so corruption and abuse of power. It is very difficult to beat your parents to death. You have to come up with other evidence.

Think carefully about it, did Zhao Kang tell you before his death that he had bribed Sun Pei, or recorded a posting book or something like that?”

Xiu'e frowned slightly, saying: "He said that he had a close relationship with the county magistrate, and even had a relationship in the capital. He told me not to think about escaping and complaining, but he couldn't win.

As for the account book, I have never said it, and I don’t know if there are any women or not.”

This is unscientific. Don’t all profiteers like to keep an account book when doing bribes... Li Xiuran secretly complained and said, “If there is no evidence, then you can only find witnesses. This is not difficult.

Many people in the county know about you being snatched back home by Zhao Kang, but most of them are heard and not very credible. It is best to find witnesses.

Did someone see you with his own eyes when you were robbed? Where is your county town? Who are the neighbors?

You were robbed and your parents sued the county government, but Sun Pei was sentenced to false accusation and even beaten a board. They must know about this. As long as they ask them to come out to testify, it can at least prove that Sun Pei is suspected of being abused."

Xiu'e hurriedly said, "This is true. I met Zhao Kang when I went to the temple with my parents to burn incense and fulfill my wishes. Then he snatched him back home. At that time, the neighbor Uncle Qian and his family were traveling with us. He saw it with his own eyes.

He must have known that my father and mother went to the county government to sue Zhao Kang, but were beaten to death by Sun Peiqu.

My family lives in Lianhua Lane in the north of the city. The adults will know when they arrive."

“That would be simple.”

Li Xiuran smiled and bowed to Lin Yanjiang, "Sir, the church will be opened tomorrow. It's still time. I'll go to Gaoling County and bring the witness back to the capital."

Lin Yanjiang nodded slightly: "That's all, go and go back quickly."

"Yes." Li Xiuran responded.

...

Gaoling County Government Office.

The hidden danger that had been worried for a long time was finally solved. Sun Pei had a rare sleep last night, but he was still in a good mood today. He was pinched by two concubines on his shoulders and beat his legs. He hummed a little song comfortably in his mouth, looking comfortable and comfortable.

At this time, a large number of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door. Sun Pei frowned and was about to ask, when a large number of officers and soldiers kicked in the door and broke in.

Sun Pei's heart thundered, and he hurriedly stood up, and said with a stern look on his face: "Who are you? How dare you trespass the county government?"

The officers and soldiers in the lead looked at him coldly: "You are Sun Pei? We are here to take you to the heavenly prison for trial and take you away on your order."

"His Majesty……"
