"If Xia Yan is really guilty, if he is tried again, his charges will not be cleared, and the end will still be beheaded to show the public."

Lu Chen said with a determined face: "Therefore, the reopening of the court is at most a waste of manpower, but if he is wronged, the retrial of this case can save a good official for the imperial court, and a good official can benefit tens of thousands of people on one side!" It's clear which is more important at a glance! ”

Hu Yan glanced at Lu Chen, snorted lightly, and said:

"As I said below, there is a huge shortage of officials in the court, and there is a serious shortage of manpower in the DPRK and China, so there is no room for waste! What's more, the evidence in this case is ironclad, then Xia Yan is definitely a scum who colludes with the demon queen's henchmen and bends the law for bribes, how can he waste valuable manpower on this scum? ”

"What's more, that Xia Yan is just a good official in your Lu Zhishi's eyes, except for you, no one doubts whether this case is boring."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately looked dissatisfied.

"What does Hu Langzhong mean is that I'm messing around?"

"That's what Lu said yourself, but you haven't said that before."

Hu Yan stroked the goat's beard and said indifferently: "I just think that in the future, if everyone is like Lu Zhishi, just because of his personal arbitrariness, he rashly retries the iron case that has been decided, acts so hastily, and despises the law, and the future followers will follow the same example, and use this excuse to delay the life of the death row prisoner, I am afraid that the court will be completely chaotic." ”

Hearing Hu Yan say this, Lu Chen's heart suddenly jumped.

Here's your chance!

Without the slightest hesitation, he hurriedly arched his hand to Hu Yan and said solemnly: "Hu Langzhong rest assured, Zai Xia is not a vexatious person, Xia Yan's case, since it is a retrial proposed by Xia, then Zai Xia will naturally be responsible for this matter."

As he spoke, he looked around, and then said to the empress with a resolute expression:

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to vouch for Xia Yan, if the minister does not know the person, Xia Yan is really guilty, and the minister is willing to ask for resignation to set an example!"

Hearing this, Hu Yan had not yet spoken, but Qian Yiqian, Zheng Zhong and others suddenly lit up.

Self-resignation...

In other words, as long as there is no change in this iron case, this scourge will have to consciously get out of the court?

And this kind of good thing?!

Seeing that Lu Chen actually used his official identity and future as a guarantee for Xia Yan, the empress's originally unhappy eyes finally showed a trace of fluctuation.

"Lu Aiqing, don't be impulsive."

She waved her hand at Lu Chen.

"It's just a trivial matter, there's no need to do this for this, no matter what the outcome of this case is, Lu Aiqing, you are a supreme soldier with high hopes, and if you ask for dismissal or something like that, don't say anything about it, after all, ......"

Speaking of this, she paused inexplicably, and then hesitated for a moment before slowly saying the words that made Lu Chen almost die on the spot: "No matter what, you are the most trusted person in me." ”

Hearing this, the eyes of some courtiers looking at Lu Chen were suddenly full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

If the winner is like this, what more can the husband ask for?

However, Lu Chen, as a party to the case, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

Nima! As for it?!

You succeeded in seizing power, obviously the Holy King of Cangming has made great contributions, even if you let you promise yourself, it is not an exaggeration, but you just sealed a [Tianzhu Country] and threw people aside, and Lao Tzu didn't contribute anything except for saying a few beautiful words, but you offered Lao Tzu like a white moonlight?

Is this TM reasonable?!

This doesn't make sense! Top dog!

Cangming Holy King is your white moonlight, you are so good to Lao Tzu, are you not afraid that he will have a thorn in his heart?

Don't forget that the Holy King of Cangming is the real hero of the dynasty, and the Cangming Army is your biggest reliance!

Lu Chen really couldn't understand that the empress was better for Mao than for the Cangming Holy King, and because Mao was not afraid of the Cangming Holy King at all, she would directly turn against the water.

But although he couldn't figure it out, he still had to pretend to be a gentleman and a minister.

"How can the minister be so trustworthy and respected by His Majesty?!"

Lu Chen half-knelt on the ground, forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart, and tried his best to show an inexplicable look of emotion.

"Your Majesty's kindness to Wechen is like a mountain, and Wechen has nothing to repay, so he can only do his best, and his liver and brain are smeared... In case of His Majesty's kindness......"

MD, acting is good TM tired......

While saying words of loyalty in order to maintain his character, Lu Chen complained in his heart.

When the atmosphere was almost over, he changed his words and said: "However, it is not unreasonable for Fang Cai Hu Lang to worry, if the case that has been filed can be retried so easily, this case will definitely bury a lot of hidden dangers in the future, so Weichen believes that if you want to reopen the case booth, you must have a sufficient amount of security, raise the threshold of appeal, and let those with bad intentions weigh it well." ”

"Just like now, the minister guarantees his future and official status, if the minister looks away, he has to pay for the mistakes he made!"

As soon as the words fell, Zheng Zhong, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, who was standing in front of the hundred officials, immediately raised his hand and said with admiration: "Lu gives things to be righteous, and this official admires it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the others immediately reacted.

However, most of the courtiers did not dare to speak up, and just let the situation develop.

And not far in front of Zheng Zhong, that is, the new Zuodu Imperial Shi Fangping, who was standing at the forefront of the hundred officials, also said at the same time: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhi is very good!" In this way, it can not only give the wronged person a chance to redress his grievances, but also take into account the law of the imperial court, so as not to mess with the law, the best of both worlds! This matter can be set for the future! ”

When he said this, his face was full of appreciation, and it was not as implied as hypocrisy as Zheng Zhong.

Finally, the bigwigs of the first echelon made a statement, and the other court officials couldn't help but look awkward.

However, Qian Yiqian, who was also one of the chief officials of the Three Law Divisions, smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Beside him, there was a little red in the six Shangshu, but Xiao Yun, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, frowned slightly, with a touch of melancholy on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Lu Chen arched his hand at this time and said: "Your Majesty, please also give Xia Yan a chance to prove his innocence, and also give the people of Yongchuan a chance to continue to live and work in peace and contentment." ”

In the face of Lu Chen's pleading, the empress thought for a moment, and then finally nodded slightly.

"Since Lu Aiqing insists, then this matter is decided."

As she said this, an imperceptible cunning flashed in her eyes.

Self-resignation...

Since it was a self-invitation, whether to agree or not was a matter for her, the emperor.

Thinking of this, she no longer had any worries, and then directly waved her hand and ordered: "The original verdict of Xia Yan's case is suspended, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are ordered to cooperate to retry this case, and every detail of this case must be carefully examined, and no doubts can be let go, and everything in this case will be investigated." ”

The empress Chrysostom opened, and also pointed out on the spot that the matter was directly responsible for the three law divisions.

You must know that the cases tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate at the same time have always been only major cases that have been focused on by the emperor, also known as "three divisions of trial".

Now that the empress has personally appointed it, it is obvious that she attaches great importance to this case.

At this time, if Hu Yan dared to say one more word of opposition, it was basically no different from openly expressing his dissatisfaction with the empress.

No matter how unwilling he is, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only obediently accept his order at this time.

What's more, Zheng Zhong also had a hint in his eyes at this time-

This is the end of the matter, don't do anything superfluous.

So he bowed down and retreated.

At the same time, the high-ranking officials of the three legal divisions shouted "the ministers obey the order", and their minds were different to give up their hands to give up this will, and promised that they would carefully try the case with a spirit of 12 points, and would never wronged a good person.

Of course, no bad guy will be spared.

This matter was settled.

After the next court, Qian Yiqian and Zheng Zhong walked up to Hu Yan together, encouraged him with a smile and words, and threatened to help each other in the future.

Hu Yan was immediately flattered.

Until he went home from duty, along the way, he felt a little fluttering when he felt valued by Shangguan.

However, when he just returned to the house with a good mood that lasted for most of the day-

"Master Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm~"
