The location of the three divisions of the trial is set up in the lobby of the criminal department, due to the temporary lack of the position of the criminal department, the criminal department is dominated by two waiters Wei Cen and Zhang Yiwai, in addition to the two people to try the case today, there are also the imperial history of Cheng Yan Xu and Dali Temple Shaoqing Cao Shaoqin, also as the three parties of the case to preside.

On both sides of the lobby, there is a row of officials, in addition to Lang Zhong and Wai Lang of the Criminal Department, there are other officials of the Imperial History and Dali Temple, who are sitting in danger, looking very terrifying.

In this matter, Su Chen took Peng Zeliang's carriage and came to the yamen of the Criminal Department with him.

"Are you sure?" When Peng Zeliang got out of the car, he asked Su Chen again.

Su Chen's expression was grim and said, "I can only conclude if I see the corpse, it's hard to say now." ”

When Peng Zeliang heard this, he sighed, at this juncture, Su Chen was not sure, in other words, if there was nothing abnormal in the corpse, or Su Chen could not find the key clues in the corpse, then Peng Jingjing would probably be able to sit and convict.

Not only will his daughter face prison, but he himself will lose his official position, demote his official position to a small place, and there will be no hope for his future.

Su Chen's face was calm, and he was also up and down in his heart, he didn't know the symptoms of the corpse, everything was unknown, and he had no other way for the time being.

Peng Zeliang sighed: "This case, I want to avoid it, I can't follow up, Su Chen, Qinqing's matter, it's all up to you." ”

Su Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, everything is with me, and I will never let Qinqing be in danger." ”

Peng Zeliang glanced at Su Chen meaningfully, although it was unpleasant to look at him before, but with Su Chen's emergence and fame, he had accepted Su Chen as his quasi-son-in-law, and he was recognized in his heart.

"Yixuan, wait for this matter, you and Qinqing, let's get married."

"Ah, what!" Su Chen was a little surprised, Peng Fuyin was worried that he wouldn't do his best, so he gave a big sweet date in advance?

However, now is not the time for Su Chen to agree to get married, because he promised Bai Susu and Zhou Jiamin that they would get married in three years, and they would also give the second daughter a chance to maneuver.

Su Chen stubbornly said: "Uncle Peng, let's talk about the marriage when we find an opportunity in the future, the younger generation can't have distracting thoughts for the time being, it's better to rescue Qinqing first as a top priority, and let's go in." ”

Peng Zeliang nodded, and didn't do anything else, he didn't know that Su Chen still had a chance in his heart, otherwise he would probably be furious: Stinky boy, my daughter is convicted in prison at any time, and you are still thinking about other women's affairs in your heart.

Su Chen said goodbye, turned around and entered the yamen of the Criminal Department, came to the main hall on the top of the mountain, and walked into the lobby, and suddenly felt a solemn atmosphere hit his face.

A plaque of "Mirror Hanging" is clearly on the top, and on the screen under the plaque, there is an ink painting of a tiger descending from the mountain, which is majestic.

On the three-foot public case in front of the screen, there are the four treasures of the study, the shocking wood, the case card, the token, and the large seal and signature of the criminal department. In addition to some officials, there are two rows of officials standing on both sides of the lobby holding water and fire sticks, solemnly and solemnly.

Even on a sunny afternoon, standing in it still feels cool and cold, which is extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Su Chen was not a prisoner to be tried, and after bowing to the ministers present, he introduced himself.

"In Xia Su Chen, I have seen all of you."

Among the Sun Party officials present, there were several who had never seen Su Chen, and they all looked at him with curiosity and approval at this moment.

The people of Sun Dang had already heard everything about him, and they admired this young man from the bottom of their hearts.

But the people of the Song Party and the New Party are political enemies of the Sun Party, so they naturally don't want to see Su Chen too good and suppress their protégés and young junjie, so their eyes are cold and critical.

"Hmph, you are Su Chen, you have no merit, when you see all the adults present, you must kneel and bow down." An inspector named Wu Qian snorted coldly at Su Chen.

Wei Cen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, took advantage of his face and said coldly: "It makes sense, Su Chen, you still don't kneel." ”

He planned to use the power of the squire of the criminal department, wanting to suppress Su Chen, and give him a dismount first, which would affect his state of mind and make him unable to exert his ability.

Some people began to gloat to see how Su Chen faced it, after all, he had no fame, no official position, he belonged to the grass people, and in front of the third or fourth ranks, he could knead it no matter how he kneaded.

But Su Chen was not afraid at all, his face was calm, he took out the jade waist card from his arms, and said loudly: "This is given by the official family, and there is also a will assigned by himself, who is responsible for participating in this matter, if the official family comes in person, there is no need to salute anyone." ”

As soon as the waist card and holy decree given by his official family came out, everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect the official family to treat him so kindly, and gave him double insurance, a sentence of "if I come in person", no one let him kneel anymore, and it would be good if these people didn't kneel.

Wei Cen, Wu Qian and others all looked a little ugly, after all, they were slapped in the face on the spot, and they felt that their faces were a little unbearable.

Zhang Yi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, smiled slightly, watching the people of the Song Party deflated, his heart blossomed, and he smiled: "Come on, hurry up and move a seat for Su Chengongzi, he is here on behalf of the official family, and he must not be lazy." ”

"Whoa!" An official messenger brought a chair and put it on the right side, next to the position of Fu Dongsheng, the imperial director of the Shang Pharmacy, and sat together.

"Fu Yufeng is here early." Su Chen bowed to Fu Dongsheng.

Fu Dongsheng didn't dare to support the big one, and hurriedly returned the salute, he understood in the palace how much the officials, the queen mother, Princess Yongning, etc., valued Su Chen, it wouldn't be long before he was a celebrity of the royal family, and he was not qualified to hold on to the big one.

Moreover, how to find clues about the corpse in this case depends on Su Chen, so he maintains politeness and etiquette.

"It's not too early, it's just one step ahead of you." As soon as Fu Dongsheng and Su Chen sat down, they heard that someone from the Criminal Department was about to come in to report that King Ji and Han Xizai had entered the compound of the Criminal Department together, and these two were today's supervisors.

Everyone got up and greeted King Ji in etiquette, this is a relative of the emperor, and the most painful brother of the official family, and he is very loved by the Queen Mother, so King Ji is quite favored, and these three or four officials have to be respectful.

Jiwang Li Congqian, Han Xizai, and You Jianyan walked in almost simultaneously, I don't know if they waited for each other outside on purpose, or they happened to meet, official learning is also metaphysics, many things, not good to be thorough.

In addition to the three people, Zha Yuanfang also came, not only the victim's family, but also the complainant, because of his official position, so he could not directly be the complainant and be arraigned in court, but came in early to wait and observe, and the complaint was handed over to the official family of the Zha family to do.

"You don't have to be polite, take your seats." Li Congqian is twenty-three or four-year-old, his mind has long matured, and he has been a prince for several years, and he also has a certain prestige.

"Please sit down!" Wei Cen asked King Ji to be the first on the left, and Han Xizai and You Jianyan sat on the second or third, both of which were the most prominent positions on the left, showing that the official positions and titles of the three were indeed much higher than those of the other observers.

After the three of them took their seats, Wei Cen, Zhang Yi, Cao Yongqin, Yan Xu and others sat back in their seats.

"It's time to go." King Ji said.

Wei Cen nodded, then picked up the shocking wood, slapped it on the desk, and shouted: "Take the suspect Peng Jingqing to the court!" ”
