Fang Ping's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone present was stunned at the same time, and then looked at him with a surprised face.

Lu Chen's heart was even more "groaning", and his face changed slightly.

Could it be that ... This... Impossible, right......

Zhao Bingliang reacted quickly, and then looked at Fang Ping in disbelief.

"Master Fang, did you just say that there is another hidden story in this case?"

"That's right."

Fang Ping glanced at him, and said indifferently: "There are indeed doubts in this case that cannot be ignored, the old man expects that there must be hidden secrets in this, otherwise it will not be explained at all, the old man thinks that Lu Zhishi's judgment is right, Xia Yan is indeed a good official, even if his approach is a little deviant." ”

Hearing this, Qian Yiqian couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Lord Du Yushi, I have something to remind you of."

Hearing these words that were quite meaningful, Fang Ping's face did not change in the slightest.

"Oh? Qian Shangshu, please speak. ”

Qian Yiqian fiddled with the brush in his hand and said slowly: "There is no room for a joke in the court, and anyone must be responsible for what they say, especially in the court of the three divisions, there can be no mistakes. ”

"Lord Du Yushi has been an official for many years, and this truth should not be repeated too much in the future."

As an old minister of the Three Dynasties who had been up and down for decades, Fang Ping naturally heard the meaning of Qian Yiqian's words at once.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then arched his hand to Qian Yiqian.

"Thank you Lord Qian for reminding me, but the old man has never been untargeted, nor will he open his mouth in the court, every judgment of the old man, every sentence, and even every word, is the result of the old man's careful consideration, since the old man dares to say this, he is sure enough, otherwise he will never speak rashly, as long as the old man has said, he will be responsible to the end!"

Hearing this, Qian Yiqian didn't know why, but a haze quietly flashed in his eyes.

"Since Lord Fang is so sure, then I won't say much about it."

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xia Yan with a complicated expression below, and then continued: "Then, please ask Lord Fang to solve our doubts, what are the doubts in this case, and what evidence can prove that Xia Yan is not a corrupt and evildoer?" Why did he confess to these crimes and willingly confess to the law? ”

When the words fell, almost everyone looked at Fang Ping in unison.

Among them, naturally including Hu Yan, the official of the Jingxiang Qing Dynasty of the Criminal Department, who stood not far from Qian Yiqian's head.

When Fang Ping stood up just now, he was really taken aback, after all, Fang Ping was a member of the second rank of the court, and he was also the chief official in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a key department with many privileges such as hearing the wind and performing things, and he was really a top boss with high power!

Such a big man clearly supported Lu Chen, believing in his ridiculously wrong judgment, Hu Yan, a little Zhengwu Lang official, said that he was not afraid that it was false.

After all, Yongchuan is a county under the rule of Jingyang Mansion in Jingxiang Province, and he is the official of the Criminal Department who is responsible for the entire Jingxiang criminal name, if this case is really overturned, it is equivalent to a big unjust case within his jurisdiction!

When something so big happened, he must have been the first to be unlucky.

Maybe you will have to be pushed to the end directly, and there will never be a day to turn over.

With such serious consequences, how could he not be afraid?

However, after thinking about it carefully, he quickly reassured.

During this time, when he was combing through the case files in the public house, he had already dealt with all the mistakes and omissions, and since Xia Yan served as the magistrate of Yongchuan County, the source and destination of the bribes and stolen money obtained by the tyrants were extremely clear, and every account could be matched, and he was definitely not wronged.

So, nothing to worry about.

Xia Yan was already corrupt, and he also colluded with the demon queen's henchmen, the crime was unforgivable, and there was no possibility of overturning the case at all.

No matter what Fang Ping said, he would definitely not be able to change Xia Yan's ending!

"Humph!"

After thinking about it, Hu Yan, who couldn't find any flaws in this case, snorted coldly in his heart.

"This official wants to see, the matter has come to this, what else can this old puppet use to overturn the case for Xia Yan!"

In the eyes of everyone with different expressions, Fang Ping habitually stroked his long beard, then turned his head, no longer paying attention to the people around him, only looked at Xia Yan below steadily, and slowly said:

"Xia County Order, please answer the old man's question honestly."

Xia Yan nodded.

"No problem, Lord Fang, you ask, as long as you know it, you must know everything."

"Good!"

Fang Ping smiled slightly, and then didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Xia County Order, when the old man looked through the case files before, he deliberately paid attention to the testimony of those victims, about the money and property that you received bribes and scraped from them through clever names, etc., how much impression do you have now, Lord Xia?" If the old man checks the money with you now, can you think back and give the old man a positive answer? ”

Xia Yan didn't answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he bowed slightly.

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, Qian Yiqian, Zhao Bingliang, and Hu Yan and others at the next head sneered in their hearts.

Things are already obvious.

Xia Yan's corruption and bribery are already a certainty, and even the parties concerned have expressed their stance like this, and this crime cannot be shirked.

So, in their eyes, Xia Yan at this time was almost no different from a dead man.

After all, even Xia Yan himself had given up treatment, no matter how busy Lu Chen and Fang Ping were, it would be useless, it would only increase the laughing stock.

Fang Ping didn't care about their strange eyes at all, and after hearing Xia Yan's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

Then he suddenly waved his hand, and with a faint flash of light, a scroll appeared out of thin air on the table in front of him.

Fang Ping opened the scroll, and then continued, "Then let's start checking it now." ”

After a pause, he looked at the first column of information in the scroll.

"In the fourth year of Shenghe, on the seventh day of the third month, Li Mingde, a wealthy merchant in Wuchuan, threw a hundred taels of silver in the drunken immortal building to set up a banquet, and then gave you five thousand taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold, so that you could give him a convenient trip in the matter of salt introduction, right?"

Xia Yan did not hesitate at all, nodded directly, and admitted: "Yes, I remember very well that it is indeed five thousand taels of silver and one hundred taels of gold." ”

There is still no denial.

In this regard, Fang Ping was not surprised at all, and then continued to read: "In the first year of Shenghe, on the third day of the second month, the Wuping wine merchant came to visit with a heavy gift, and asked you to open the wine to him with five thousand taels of silver, right?" ”

It seems that this matter is too long, Xia Yan can't remember it clearly, but this time he didn't answer so simply.

He frowned and thought for a moment before finally nodding.

"Lord Hui, it's five thousand taels."
