When he entered the hall, Han Song was suddenly taken aback in his heart, he never expected that Yang Lian, Wu Liangsi, Guan Yingzhen, and Huang Yanshi, the leaders of the officials of the four major lakes and Guangzhou, would all come, so after stabilizing his mind, he saluted Sun Xiang and the others present.

"Han Xiancheng, did you try a case related to Huguang Li Xie Yuan in the afternoon?" Sun Xiang looked at Han Song quietly and asked.

"Back to the house, Lord Yin, Xia Guan did try such a case in the afternoon, and someone sued Li Jieyuan for being a **** woman from a good family." Han Song pondered for a moment when he heard this, and replied in an orderly manner, "The lower official has already handed over the case file to the government office, and I ask the lord of the government office to decide." ”

"Is the case true?" Sun Xiang bowed slightly when he heard this, and then asked.

"Lord Fu Yin, the evidence is conclusive." Han Song solemnly bowed his hand to Sun Xiangyi and replied in a deep voice.

"Can Li Jieyuan plead guilty?" Hearing this, Wu Liangsi's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he asked quietly.

"Back to Lord Wu, not for the time being." Han Song shook his head when he heard this, bowed down and said to Wu Liangsi, although he and Wu Liangsi are both officials of the seventh grade, they can definitely not be compared with Wu Liangsi, Wu Liangsi is a person on an equal footing with Sun Xiang.

"Han Xiancheng, in addition to the confessions of the Yang family and the Zhang family, can you be sure that the child in the Yang family's womb is Li Jieyuan's?" At this time, Yang Lian asked in a deep voice while flipping through the file brought by the messenger.

"Back to Lord Yang, after the confessions of the witnesses and the evidence provided by the Yang family and the Zhang family, before the Yang family is found to have an adultererer, the child in the Yang family's belly can only be considered to be Li Jieyuan's."

Hearing this, Han Song hurriedly replied that he was an official from this general and joined the Donglin Party, so he naturally wanted to be respectful to Yang Lian.

Yang Lian's brows couldn't help frowning, Han Song's answer can be described as reasonable, not leaking, before he failed to find the Yang family had an adulterer, then Li Hongyu's charge was really difficult to pick.

"Han Xiancheng, according to this official, he will enter the exam tomorrow, since there are still doubts about Li Jieyuan's body now, it is better to let him enter the exam first, and then cooperate with the investigation after the exam."

Hearing this, Guan Yingzhen glanced at Wu Liangsi and Huang Yanshi, looked at Han Song and said quietly, wanting to adopt a workaround to solve the current matter.

"Your Excellency, it's not that the lower officials are not accommodating, it's really that the lower officials don't dare to do this."

Han Song smiled bitterly, bowed to Guan Yingzhen and said, "Now Li Xie Yuan has a lot of suspicions, and there are many people who are hearing the trial in the court today, if the lower officials just let Li Xie Yuan go for reference, in the eyes of the people, it will not be the protection of the officials and the officials, and the Yang family and his wife will come to the lower officials at that time, and they will not be able to afford it."

"Moreover, if Li Jieyuan is guilty and the gold list is named, then Xia Guan Ke will be guilty of bullying the king, which will also become a joke in the Daming Imperial Examination."

Saying that, Han Song looked at Guan Yingzhen seriously, "Lord Wangguan understands the difficulties of the official. ”

"Han Xiancheng, is there any room for maneuver in this matter?" Hearing this, Sun Xiang's brows furrowed, and he asked quietly.

I have to say that Han Song's reasons are very sufficient, if he is not afraid of 10,000 in everything, he is afraid of what happens, if Li Hongyu can't wash away the suspicion on his body, then even if Li Hongyu didn't rape the Yang family and the Zheng family, then these obscene things will be seen by the outside world as done by the two of them.

Therefore, even if Sun Xiang is the governor of Shuntian Mansion, he can't give Han Song an order to let Li Hongyu go, and he is even more reluctant to take over the case at this time.

Of course, Sun Xiang can have people torture the Yang couple and the Zheng family to extract confessions and force them to retract their confessions, but although this can make Li Hongyu get out temporarily, it will undoubtedly have endless troubles in the long run.

Sun Xiang has also been up and down in officialdom for decades, so he naturally knows that Li Hongyu's case will not be so simple, and he actually broke out such a thing at the juncture of the examination, making it clear that someone wanted to calculate him.

To tell the truth, Sun Xiang didn't believe that a Li Hongyu who had been admitted to Huguang Township to try to solve the Yuan and solved two bizarre murders in Wuchang Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion would be so ignorant, even if Li Hongyu was lustful, he would not be hungry before the test, and attacked two women one after another, what kind of woman does he want in his identity?

Although Sun Xiang believes Li Hongyu, the key to the verdict is to look at the evidence, Li Hongyu's case is simple and very simple, and it is important to punish the three key witnesses of the Yang couple and the Zheng family, then the three will definitely confess truthfully.

But the crux of the matter is that Li Hongyu's case is not simple, there is a certain force in the capital hidden behind it, since the other party has spent so much effort to lay it out, then it must be inevitable for Li Hongyu, if the Yang couple and the Zheng family later retract their confessions, then the matter will be a big trouble.

Besides, the most important witness, Yang, is pregnant, and if she is tortured but slips, then Shuntianfu will be sprayed to death by the spitting stars of those officials in the capital, and the people will be indignant.

"Lord Fu Yin, the Qing is self-purifying, if Li Jieyuan is innocent, then the yamen will definitely be able to find out the hidden secrets, and then return Li Jieyuan's innocence."

Facing Sun Xiang's inquiry, Han Song pondered for a while and then bowed his hand to him, and said solemnly, "As for today's examination, Li Jieyuan is afraid that he will not be able to catch up, unless there is evidence to prove his innocence, the lower officials will not be able to let him out." ”

"A few adults, presumably now that several adults have understood the facts of the case, there is really nothing the official can do."

After listening to Han Song's words, Sun Xiang smiled bitterly and said to Yang Lian, Wu Liangsi and the others, he knew that everyone cared about Li Hongyu's case, but he couldn't let Li Hongyu go when he was seriously suspicious, that would cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, for Sun Xiang, the best choice is to stay out of the matter and watch Yang Lian, Wu Liangsi and others fight against the mastermind behind the frame Li Hongyu.

"Lord Han, can you assure this official that you are innocent in this case?" Hearing this, Yang Lian's brows suddenly furrowed, and he stared at Han Song expressionlessly and asked.

It stands to reason that if it is left to other officials, at this time, Li Hongyu's background will definitely be clarified first and then decide whether to detain him, after all, Li Hongyu is the Xie Yuan of the Huguang Township Test, and now he is approaching the meeting, if he does this, he will not only ruin Li Hongyu's future, but also offend the officials of the capital and Huguang.

Just like Han Song said before, if people in the officialdom encounter this kind of case of civil accusation against officials, especially if this kind of lawsuit is an official who has no grievances with him, the first thing he thinks about is to leave room for the net to open, so that everyone can see each other in the officialdom in the future, which is what people usually call the protection of officials and officials.

But Han Song was not like this at all, not only did he "enforce the law impartially", but also directly arrested Li Hongyu and put him in prison, making Li Hongyu unable to participate in this examination, which undoubtedly cut off Li Hongyu's career path, and the consequences for a scholar were extremely serious.

Therefore, Yang Lian naturally wanted to wonder if there was something wrong with this, and Han Song's reaction was really a little abnormal.

"Back to Lord Yang, the lower officials enforce the law impartially, and they are innocent in this case, and they do not have the slightest selfishness." Han Song's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he bowed to Yang Lian solemnly and said.

"It's so good, this official is waiting for Han County Cheng to judge the case impartially." At this time, Wu Liangsi sneered, glared coldly at the righteous and awe-inspiring Han Song, got up and arched his hand to Sun Xiang and said, "Lord Sun, there is a lot of trouble, take your leave." ”

"Master Sun, farewell." Seeing this situation, Yang Lian, Guan Yingzhen, and Huang Yanshi then stood up and said goodbye to Sun Xiang, since Li Hongyu's case could not be accommodated in Shuntian Mansion, then there was naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.

"Gentlemen, walk slowly." Sun Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly got up and sent the four of them outside the gate, it seemed that Han Song and their beams were settled.

"Han Xiancheng, is there a hidden truth in this case?" After sending Yang Lian and Wu Liangsi away, Sun Xiang returned to the living room with a frown, and looked at Han Song who bowed down and followed him expressionlessly.

"Lord Fu Yin, the facts of this case are clear, it is not that the lower officials deliberately make things difficult for Li Jieyuan, it is really intolerable under national law."

Han Song solemnly bowed to Sun Xiang and replied helplessly, but his eyes seemed a little flickering, obviously he didn't expect Yang Lian and Wu Liangsi to value Li Hongyu so much.

"That's good." Sun Xiang stared at Han Song for a while, then nodded slowly, and said with a serious expression, "Li Jieyuan's case will definitely attract the attention of the outside world, since you are locked in, then the case will be tried by you, and if you need anything, Shuntianfu will give you the decision." ”

"Lord Xie Fu Yin."

Han Song was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then replied in a loud voice, secretly smiling bitterly in his heart.

He didn't expect Sun Xiang to hand over the case to him for trial, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, this was the basket he poked out, and it was naturally up to him to deal with the aftermath, could it be that he would hand over this mess to others?

"Han Xiancheng, Li Xie Yuan is quite famous among Huguang Juzi, so this case should be handled carefully!"

Sun Xiang bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he stared at Han Song and said, no matter how Han Song is also an official under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Mansion, he, the Mansion Yin, naturally has to care about the case, once the situation becomes serious, then Shuntian Mansion will inevitably be implicated.

"Don't worry, Lord Yin, the lower officials know how to do it." Han Song had already realized that the matter was getting big at this time, and bowed to Sun Xiang with a serious expression and said, neither Yang Lian nor Wu Liangsi is easy to provoke, and the slightest carelessness will cause big trouble.

If Han Song chose the opportunity again, then he would definitely not accept the five thousand taels of silver sent by others, and sent Li Hongyu straight to prison.

The other party's purpose is very simple, not to ask Han Song to convict Li Hongyu in this case, but to drag Li Hongyu so that he will miss the upcoming exam.

Originally, Han Song thought that Li Hongyu, Huguang Xie Yuan, who came from afar, had no foundation in the capital, and even if he was imprisoned, no one would give him a head.

But it turned out that Han Song was wrong, Yang Lian and Wu Liangsi and other Huguang officials and leaders were so important to Li Hongyu that they came in person, which made him have to bite the bullet and try Li Hongyu's case, and pray that there would be a good result.
