Lu Chen carefully recalled the files he had read in the past few days.

But no matter how he thought about it, he really couldn't think of any flaws in such an iron case that could be overturned.

The Queen Mother's account book cannot be fake, and there is nothing wrong with the victim's testimony, Xia Yan himself did not deny the fact of corruption and bribery and clinging to the power of the Queen Mother's henchmen when he was interrogated in prison......

With all this, Lu Chen couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, and there were any extraordinary doubts in it.

"No problem!"

Seeing that the hall was about to open, Lu Chen had no choice but to comfort himself like this.

"The outcome of Xia Yan's case has been decided, and there will never be any changes."

However, when he thought about it, there was an ominous premonition circling in his heart.

While thinking about it, the three judicial bosses in the hall were already in place.

After the simple ceremony, Zhao Bingliang, the secretary of Dali Temple, couldn't wait to wave his hand.

"Take the prisoner Xia Yan to court!"

As soon as the solemn words fell, it didn't take long for Xia Yan, who was dressed in a prison uniform that exuded a sour smell and had a haggard face, to be brought over by two officials.

The triage of the three divisions has officially begun!

Lu Chen gathered his mind, shook off the messy thoughts in his mind for a while, and then stood up as the case supervisor, and said solemnly to Zhao Bingliang on the presiding judge:

"Lord Zhao, please pay attention to your wording, Xia Yan has not been completely convicted, so he is only a suspect now, not a prisoner."

No matter what, his current position is to firmly believe that Xia Yan is a good official, so he naturally wants to stand up for Xia Yan.

Even if the situation is quite unfavorable to him now.

And seeing that Lu Chen was still standing up to defend himself at this time, Xia Yan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Chen, as if he had accepted his fate, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and a trace of ripples quietly swayed.

He could see that this young man named Lu Chen really wanted to help him.

After all, now he has almost nothing left and nothing to gain.

There is no benefit at all in saving him, and there is a huge risk to be taken, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Reduced to such a situation, there are still people who are desperate to help themselves, and for this reason, they even do not hesitate to offend the high-ranking officials of the court, and it is definitely false to say that they are not moved.

It's a pity...

"Lord Lu."

Without waiting for Zhao Bingliang to respond, Xia Yan slowly spoke, and said to Lu Chen with a gloomy expression: "Thank you for your kindness, but Lord Zhao didn't say anything wrong just now, he did violate the "Great Xia Law" in Xia, it is a sinful body, and it is such a big crime that cannot be punished, and there is nothing wrong with Lord Zhao saying that he is a prisoner." ”

Such ignorant words suddenly made everyone present feel slightly stunned.

After reacting, Fang Ping suddenly narrowed his eyes and glanced at Xia Yan meaningfully.

'Knowing that he can't escape death, can he use this way to reduce Zhao Bingliang's dissatisfaction with Lu Zhishi and protect his benefactor's career as much as possible... Yes, it's not in vain that Lu helped him like this, but he is a kind person who knows how to repay his kindness......

As if to confirm his judgment, Zhao Bingliang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of comfort after hearing Xia Yan's words.

In the next second, he slowly turned his head and looked at Lu Chen, with a hint of contempt on his face.

"Lu Zhishi, did you hear that? He Xia Yan personally admitted that he was guilty, not the old man who gave him a hat, what else do you have to say? ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's face suddenly turned pale, and then he glared at Xia Yan angrily.

"Alright."

Fang Ping, who had the highest authority in the audience, finally spoke.

He sat on the chair and said expressionlessly: "It's just a trivial matter, there's no need to dwell on it, let's start the trial quickly, finish the trial as soon as possible, go back to the office as soon as possible, everyone is very busy, don't waste time on this kind of trivial matter." ”

The boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate personally spoke, and the others had to sell him more or less face.

Although Zhao Bingliang still wanted to taunt Lu Chen, a fortunate person he had long looked down on, but Fang Ping spoke, and he had to swallow back what he originally wanted to say.

As the so-called official level crushes people to death, there is still a big gap between him, the Dali Siqing of the third grade, and the Zuodu Yushi of the second grade, and there are a bunch of trolls under this guy... Eh, Yushi, it's better not to provoke or not to provoke.

Lu Chen retreated.

He is only responsible for supervising the case, and does not have the power to adjudicate, and can only intervene if there are unreasonable circumstances in the course of the trial.

After the short episode passed, Qian Yiqian said directly to Xia Yan below:

"Xia Yan, is it true that more than 20 well-known local people and 30 businessmen in Yongchuan County jointly accused you of accepting bribes, acting unfairly, and setting up various names to take advantage of them?"

Xia Yan replied without hesitation:

"Back to my lordship, this matter is true."

Seeing that he answered so neatly and honestly, without the slightest intention of quibbling, Qian Yiqian couldn't help but smile.

Although he didn't know why Xia Yan didn't struggle, he didn't have an excuse to excuse himself, but directly admitted this not light crime.

But as long as he admits it.

Zhao Bingliang glanced at Lu Chen inexplicably, and saw that his face was iron-blue, obviously hit by Xia Yan's choice to directly admit guilt, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

However, he didn't notice that Lu Chen, whose face was very ugly, quietly flashed an imperceptible look of joy in his eyes.

Smack...

Lu Chen clenched his fists violently, and there was an unknown trace of excitement on his face.

'That's it! ’

According to the current situation, there is absolutely no possibility of Xia Yan's case being overturned.

As long as Xia Yan upholds the original verdict and proves that his judgment is wrong, according to the latest guarantee mechanism, he will be able to take off this official skin as he wishes, and at that time...

The thought of this made his fists clenched even tighter.

To outsiders, he was desperately suppressing the anger in his heart, and only he knew how hard it was to suppress the joy that poured out.

After Xia Yan confessed the crime committed by Yongchuan, Zhao Bingliang struck while the iron was hot and asked directly: "Xia Yan, I waited for the account book found in the demon queen's dormitory, and found a detailed record of your bribery of the demon queen's henchman Wang Yu, what is your explanation for this?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan's face was a little complicated.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh and fell to his knees.

"Back to my lord's words, this matter is true, and I have nothing to say."

There is no need to torture, no need to use clever words to induce, and even coercion, Xia Yan accepted all the crimes Zhao Bingliang said and admitted them all.

Such a trouble-free trial, Zhao Bingliang has seen it for the first time.

I've never even heard of it.

No one is not afraid of death, and it stands to reason that in the face of the fear of death, no matter who will subconsciously struggle, even if they know that the struggle is meaningless.

But Xia Yan didn't even say a word to refute.

This is not for Zhao Bingliang.

It took him a moment before he reacted, and then looked at the last high-ranking official of the Three Law Divisions.

"Lord Fang, the question you want to ask has been completed, and the criminal official has also admitted his crime of bribing and colluding with the demon queen's henchmen, do you have anything else to ask him?"

As he spoke, he continued: "If not, according to the following, the result of this case is obvious, there is no need for a retrial, and it is sufficient to directly convict and sentence, and we can draw up a file on this and report it to Your Majesty." ”
