The smell in the gray cell was pungent, but the sound was like a needle piercing the heart.

Hu Zongxian was facing this prison disaster, and what he wanted was not Lin Haoran's rescue, but only longing for a fair verdict and a chance to get the most basic justice.

It's just that this appeal seems simple, but the reality is also difficult.

In the current court, there is no judicial justice at all. Otherwise, Xia Yan would not have been guillotined, and Yan Shifan and Yan Wenlong might have another ending, and Hu Zongxian would not have been escorted to the capital for trial.

Hu Zongxian originally wrote a 10,000-word "Argument and Accusation" with hope, which can be said to explain the cause and effect of the incident very clearly, but it was sent to the palace like a stone sinking into the sea, and the emperor has not even let out a fart so far.

It is precisely because of this that what he can rely on now is Lin Haoran, the only one-sided Hubu Shangshu, who asks for a fair and judicial treatment.

"I promise you this! If the three divisions still try to treat you in a strict way, this book will personally avenge your grievances! Lin Haoran looked at Hu Zongxian's eyes and solemnly promised.

If earlier, he might still have some concerns, after all, the manipulator behind this matter is Xu Jie. But after this trip to Wanshou Palace, it gave him greater confidence.

Once Hu Zongxian was forcibly charged with a "contemplation" by Xu Jie, he would have to cry out for this first hero of the anti-Japanese war no matter what, and return a piece of pure land for this dirty world.

Although he knows that party struggle has always been ruthless, he cannot do without a bottom line. Although Hu Zongxian is a member of the strict party, he is a great hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, so he should have a stable old age.

Wu Huzong knew the weight of these words, and looked at Lin Haoran gratefully and said, "Great grace is not grateful!" ”

Wu Songqi found that his father was looking at him, and he also knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Lin Haoran: "Thank you Lin Shangshu for your great kindness, my Hu family will never forget!" ”

Lin Haoran looked at the terrible cell boss and cared a few words with concern, and then followed Hu Zongxian to leave with his farewell, while Hu Songqi stayed here.

The sky over Beijing was still clear, but in the blink of an eye, it turned gray again, and several eagles with long wings hovering high in the sky.

Lin Haoran walked out of the prison of the Criminal Department, and unexpectedly Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was standing in front of the courtyard at the door, and Huang Guangsheng was standing with his hands in his hands looking at the gloomy sky.

Huang Guangsheng is a third-class jinshi in Jiajing for eight years, and he was first awarded Changxing Zhi County, and after decades of hard work, he has become the secretary of the criminal department in charge of the prison.

The authority of the Criminal Department Shangshu is naturally far inferior to that of the Hubu Shangshu, but his age and qualifications are far above Lin Haoran, especially since this is still his territory, which already makes him have some confidence.

Lin Haoran looked at Huang Guangsheng deliberately holding a high-ranking shelf, although he didn't like it in his heart, he still stepped forward and took the initiative to say: "I've seen Huang Shangshu!" ”

"Lin Shangshu didn't say hello in advance when he came!" Huang Guangsheng said slightly reproachfully.

Lin Haoran didn't have any friendship with Huang Guangsheng, and knew that this was a polite remark, but he responded with a smile: "This official knows that Huang Shangshu is busy with affairs, so he doesn't dare to bother!" ”

"It's not as busy as you say, I wonder if I can sit inside?" Huang Guangsheng looked at Lin Haoran with a smile on his face, and officially issued an invitation.

Lin Haoran vaguely guessed something, but he smiled and shook his head gently: "No, the household department still has something to deal with, I have to go back first!" ”

Xu Jie is completely different from the "Duxiang" Yan Song, his political methods are to pay attention to alliances, and more to try to win over the forces of all parties, and become a huge "pan-Xu Party".

He and the Jin Party represented by Yang Bo is a solid alliance, Huang Guangsheng and Yang Bo are friends in the same year, and Huang Guangsheng faintly represents the Fujian Party, so the three parties form a hidden alliance.

It is this kind of alliance that although the Xu Party does not have the monopoly of power like Yan Song, it already has an influence that is not weaker than Yan Song, and it can do what he wants to do.

"Shall we have a conversation here?" Huang Guangsheng was like an elder, pointing to the side.

Lin Haoran nodded quietly: "Okay!" ”

Except for Qian Bangyan, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, everyone else has opened a certain distance, leaving room here for these three big men to talk secretly here.

"Lin Shangshu, what do you think of Hu Zongxian's contribution?" Huang Guangsheng raised his eyes and looked at the prison of the Criminal Department, and asked Lin Haoran bluntly.

Faced with this temptation, Lin Haoran responded with a smile: "Whether Hu Zongxian has a conspirator or not, this matter has to be tried by the Three Law Divisions!" Of course, you three legal divisions must also judge fairly, and you must not wronged a good person! ”

This......

Qian Bangyan's brows furrowed slightly, looking at Lin Haoran hesitantly, but he didn't know if this kid really didn't understand, or if he was deliberately pretending to be confused.

What he blocked just now, now that Huang Guangsheng deliberately appeared here, his intention can be said to be quite obvious, but this kid even said stupid things about judicial justice.

"Lin Shangshu, this case is based on letters, it can be said to be a sure thing!" Huang Guangsheng looked quite urban, but he looked at Lin Haoran's eyes and said.

Lin Haoran met Huang Guangsheng's gaze and responded with a slight smile: "Regarding the matter of the letter, Governor Hu just made it clear to this official, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in it!" After a pause, he added meaningfully: "Huang Shangshu, I also hope that when you try this case, you must investigate in many ways, and you can't hastily close the case and do something that cares about people's lives!" ”

The sky in Beijing is changeable, and what was gloomy just now is half gray and half clear.

When Huang Guangsheng hinted, Lin Haoran was not hinting. Not only will he not avoid this case, but he will also keep an eye on this case and will avenge Hu Zongxian.

Qian Bangyan had been listening, but when he saw Lin Haoran being so ignorant, he couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Lin Shangshu, your hand is stretched too long, right?" Didn't you forget, it was you who stretched out your hand to the household department in Nanjing, which caused the mutiny of the Zhenwu camp? ”

The news in the palace has not yet come out, after all, Lin Haoran is here to release the news, and Xu Jie's side is probably not too anxious to put the news outside.

It is precisely like this, in Qian Bangyan's eyes, Lin Haoran is a trouble-ridden person, and his throne of household books will soon fall on him.

Lin Haoran's gaze fell on Qian Bangyan, but he said with a shelf: "Qian Shilang, how to decide the matter of Zhenwu Camp, this is a matter for the court and the household!" As for you, you should do your job well, don't be so coercive with the communiqué for personal gain, beware of your official negligence! ”

Qian Bangyan originally kindly reminded him of the current situation, but when he heard Lin Haoran ridicule him like this, he was immediately angry, and he hated this kid to the core.

It's just that the distance of identity is here, and I am also worried that Lin Haoran will really participate in him, so his future may really be stained.

Huang Guangsheng seemed to have a lot of city government, but he leaned on the old man and said like an old man: "Lin Shangshu, although Qian Shilang's expression is inappropriate, it's just that Lord Yuanfu said that he wants to 'return the government to the ministers'." We still perform our own duties with each other, you operate more of your household affairs, and the old man takes care of the affairs of the criminal department, so good? ”

At this moment, he didn't mind saluting Lin Haoran before fighting, and even a certain threat. After all, many things have been finalized, and if Lin Haoran really gets involved, it will not be good for him.

But at this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the gate of the Criminal Department, and a unique voice walked in and sang loudly: "The Holy Decree has arrived!" ”
