Chapter 447: A dilemma

"I've seen Lord Budo. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Seeing Lin Xiaotang walking over slowly with a tense face, Shen Yan and the others hurriedly saluted.

"What's going on, what's the commotion?" A touch of majesty appeared in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, and he glanced at Shen Yan and the others lightly, and asked slowly.

"Lin Butang, you came just in time, this person arrested my son for no reason, so I came here to ask the reason, who knows, this person is so bold that he also wants to arrest me." Seeing Lin Xiaotang's pretending demeanor, a contemptuous smile flashed in Zhong Shaoyou's eyes.

Although Lin Xiaotang is a member of the Seventh Prince, he has a relationship with Yu Minghao, so he and Lin Xiaotang are also very familiar, but now he pretends not to know himself, Zhong Shaoyou's eyes flashed a haze, mixed with a complicated look, stared at Lin Xiaotang, pointed at Shen Yan and said angrily.

"It turned out to be Steward Zhong of the Ten Princes' Mansion, what's the matter, was your son arrested by the people of the Criminal Department?" When Lin Xiaotang heard Zhong Shaoyou's words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked lightly.

Wasn't Zhong Wei's case half a year ago already closed? Why was he arrested by the people of the Criminal Department again, could it be that Zhong Wei committed another case?

"Lin Butang, I'm not joking with you." Seeing Lin Xiaotang's expression, a trace of annoyance appeared in Zhong Shaoyou's eyes.

"Shen Yuanwailang, what's going on." Seeing Zhong Shaoyou's expression, Lin Xiaotang seemed to feel that the matter in front of him was beyond his control, and with a trace of doubt in his eyes, he glanced at Shen Yan and Xia Yuanxu, and asked loudly.

"Lord Huibutang, the next case that the lower official took over, the main culprit was Zhong Wei who was arrested by the lower official, and his crime was very cruel and vicious, which had a great impact, so the lower official would arrest him." Hearing Lin Xiaotang's inquiry, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he replied loudly.

"Arrested? Isn't this what Jinling Mansion should do, when did you run an errand for Jinling Mansion? Besides, why doesn't the official know this time, don't you know that the culprit is stamped when the criminal department wants to arrest the culprit? Lin Xiaotang's eyes flashed with anger, this Shen Yan is so ridiculous, he actually stabbed Zhong Shaoyou, a big ant nest, this is not only blocking Shen Yan himself, but also adding blockage to his own officials.

"Lord Ministry, the lower official thinks that you have misunderstood, first of all, the lower official is not on an errand for Jinling Mansion, but on an errand for the emperor. Secondly, it is true that the lower officials need to obtain the seal of the criminal department to arrest the culprit, but sometimes, it is not necessary for the criminal department to seal the culprit. A sly smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he glanced at Lin Xiaotang lightly, and said slowly.

"Shen Yan, how did you talk to this official?" Hearing that Shen Yan didn't need to be sealed, a flash of anger flashed in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, this Shen Yan relied on the emperor's favor, and he was too arrogant, and the culprit was not in accordance with the process of the Criminal Department, and the official of the court would definitely join you tomorrow morning.

"Lin Butang, please don't get me wrong, what the lower official said is a matter, under normal circumstances, the lower official does need to be stamped if he wants to use the yacha of the criminal department, but Lin Butang, you also know that the lower official has several official positions, and it just so happened that when the lower official appealed to the lower official that day, the identity of the lower official was the commander of the Jinyi School." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, glanced at Lin Xiaotang, and said slowly.

"Why, do you want to use the Jinyi School to suppress the official?" Hearing Shen Yan's words, a trace of gloom flashed in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, this Shen Yan actually used the brocade school to suppress himself, which was really hateful.

"Lin Butang, the lower official just said don't get me wrong, you are so old, how to do things and talk are still so hot, can you let the lower official tell the whole story, you can say it again." Shen Yan knew very well in his heart that it was not easy to block Lin Xiaotang's mouth, so Shen Yan had always used such an attitude to talk to Lin Xiaotang, the purpose was to make Lin Xiaotang angry, and only when a person was angry could he make a mistake.

"Xia Guan originally wanted to use the identity of Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, to take over this case, but after listening to the development of the case, Xia Guan's heart suddenly pulled out the cold, the water in this is too deep, if Xia Guan continues to use the identity of Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, then Xia Guan will be led by the nose by some forces involved in this case, so in desperation, Xia Guan has no choice but to use the identity of Jinyi School, after all, Jinyi School shoulders the responsibility of supervising the world, although there is no right to hear cases." Shen Yan saw a look of anger flashing in Lin Xiaotang's eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said slowly.

"Xiaguan took this into account, and it happened that the eighteenth prince had just taken office as the head of the criminal department, and with the consent of the eighteenth prince, the lowering official and the eighteenth prince joined forces to try the case, no, to be exact, the eighteenth emperor is the presiding judge, and the lowering official is only a jury, and to be precise, the duty of the lowering official is to protect the eighteenth prince from any interference in the process of trying this case."

"No, the case has not yet been heard, the culprit's father wants to interfere with his identity and prestige, Xia Guan thinks, if you interfere, you will interfere, it's a big deal, I don't pay attention to it, who knows, this person actually ignored my Daxia etiquette, not only did not give a salute after seeing the eighteen princes, but looked down on the eighteen princes with a lofty demeanor, and even bullied the eighteen princes in his mouth, isn't this a serious crime of etiquette, it is for this reason that the lower officials decided to take down this person and punish him for a crime of etiquette."

"Of course, if the minister thinks that the lower official is doing too much, it doesn't matter if the lower official does this, anyway, the lower official does all this to save the royal face, if the minister says that the person is released, the lower official will not be arrested, and when the emperor blames it, the lower official will report it truthfully." When Shen Yan said this, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Lin Xiaotang indifferently, with an innocent look written on his face.

"You ......" Lin Xiaotang heard Shen Yan's words, and a touch of annoyance suddenly appeared in his eyes, Shen Yan was too ruthless, no matter what he answered, he would fall into Shen Yan's trap.

If Lin Xiaotang said that Zhong Shaoyou was released, once the matter reached the emperor, what would the emperor think in his heart, as the emperor's courtier, he would ignore the royal face, and if he didn't get it right, he would go to Gu Chaoru's end. But if he hadn't let go, in front of so many people in the Criminal Department, his prestige would have been hit by Shen Yan and there would be little left, how would he manage this huge Criminal Department in the future?

For a while, Lin Xiaotang fell into a dilemma.
