Chapter 53: Struggle

Looking at the scene of a group of Yongchuan people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing continuously, and even gradually knocking blood stains on the hard floor, everyone couldn't help but be slightly moved.

"Folks, don't be like this!"

Fang Ping hurriedly got up to stop their near-self-harming practice.

He didn't blame these ordinary people for soiling the floor here, after all, he knew that ordinary people didn't understand grammar, didn't know how to use flowery rhetoric to give people a good impression, and they would only express their earnest needs and sincerity in this way.

Li Da, who was the first to kowtow, was already covered with blood at this time, and he looked quite miserable.

But even though he was stumbling, he still said in a slurred tone:

In recent years, Lord Xia has not only been in charge of the people such as us, but also recovered all the fields that had been seized by the Wang family and the Li family, the evil gentry families colluded with the government, and returned them to me and other poor people, impartially enforcing the law when handling cases, avenging the grievances of the people, never favoring those rich families, and leading us to reclaim the land, organizing the people to introduce good businessmen from other places to stabilize prices......"

"Nowadays, almost every household in Yongchuan County has a field to plant, food to eat, clothes to wear, and can save a lot of savings every year, as long as it is not a lazy person, willing to work, everyone's life has a head, for us and other small people, this is a fairy-like day!"

"In the hearts of our Yongchuan people, Xia Dacai is the real parent official! The previous county orders were all dog officials who ate people and didn't spit out bones! Only Lord Xia treats us as human beings, makes us full and clothed, and our lives are becoming more and more happy, which is simply the rebirth parents of ordinary people such as me! โ€

"Although we are illiterate and don't understand any big truths, we also know the truth that filial piety comes first, how can we let our parents and officials in Yongchuan County be slandered and persecuted by those evil gentry and profiteers who have lost their conscience and are indifferent?"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached into his bosom and carefully took out a well-protected pile of dark brown cloth from his bosom.

Seeing those cloths, Hu Yan's face couldn't help but change greatly.

"Is that ......?"

The faces of the three chief judges also sank at the same time, and their expressions became inexplicably solemn, obviously realizing something.

However, before they could ask out loud, Li Da said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the [Book of the People] written by the people of Yongchuan and others with their own blood, please take a look!"

After handing over the large pile of cloth to the auxiliary officer and handing it over, Li Da slammed his head hard.

"Xiaomin Li Da represents the people of Yongchuan County, I ask you to return Lord Xia's innocence, we can do it without anyone in Yongchuan, but we must not have Lord Xia! If the imperial court really wants to kill Lord Xia, please kill Xiaomin first! โ€

Hearing this, feeling the determination of Li Da and the others to become benevolent if they did not succeed, Xia Yan's originally firm eyes were slightly shaken at this moment.

He opened his mouth, and said in an incomparably complex tone: "Li Da... Why do you do that? This official is just a guilty man, how can he deserve to be like this......"

Li Da shook his head, and then said without hesitation:

"Lord Xia, if Yongchuan loses you, there will be no blue sky, and it will definitely return to the dark appearance of the past in the future, let Xiaomin live that kind of life again, it is better to let Xiaomin die, anyway, he can't live anymore, it is better to follow you with Lord Xia, and you can follow you on the Huangquan Road to repay your kindness Lord Xia."

Hearing these words, most of the people present were immediately moved.

Not to mention anything else, the Book of the People is not something that can be obtained casually!

There is a Punishment of Evil Division, this kind of thing that can be used as an official with a very high honor cannot be forged at all, just send it to the Punishment Division for verification, and you can immediately distinguish the true from the false, so no one will be stupid enough to forge the Book of All People to die.

And Xia Yan was not only able to get the Book of the People, but also the citizens of Yongchuan County who rushed all the way to Luojing to send it at a huge risk.

What a love this is?!

At this point, after a little thought, they completely understood the ins and outs of the case.

That Xia Yan was indeed corrupt and bribed, and he did use the stolen money to bribe Shangguan, but he did this not for personal gain at all, but for the people of Yongchuan!

The reason why this is so is because during the chaos of the demon queen, corruption was rampant throughout the court, and honest and honest courtiers had almost no chance to be promoted and reused unless they were very capable, and they would also be persecuted and squeezed out of the officialdom by people who were in the same dust as the light.

If Xia Yan wants to keep his official identity and do some practical things for the people of Yongchuan, he must adapt to the rules of officialdom at that time, otherwise he will have to get out of the way after an official evaluation.

And since he is for the people, it is impossible to reach out to the people, so he can only attack those wealthy and unkind wealthy families and profiteers, so he offended all the wealthy businessmen in Yongchuan, which led to the later joint lawsuit, and Xia Yan was imprisoned.

At the same time, Xia Yan himself is a sincere gentleman, who values the national law more seriously than himself, and in order to eliminate future troubles, he does not hesitate to admit all the guilt, and does not mention his contribution to Yongchuan, just to maintain the supreme authority of the national law.

Such a person...... Worthy of admiration!!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Lu Chen, who even if he gambled on his official identity and future, he would fight for Xia Yan a chance to be retried, and strongly supported Xia Yan without conclusive evidence, unswervingly believing that Xia Yan was a good official, and running for it.

Otherwise, Xia Yan would have been pulled and cut a long time ago, how could there be such a shocking and touching scene today?

Lu Chen, if it weren't for good luck, then his vision would be really poisonous!

Xia Yan seems to be a corrupt official with unforgivable crimes on the surface, but Lu Chen can actually see that he is a good official who is dedicated to the people.

This eyesight is simply terrifying!

If you see this guy doing something incomprehensible and amazing in the future, to be on the safe side, don't jump out in a hurry...... lest you suffer inexplicably.

Just like Hu Yan who is pale now......

"Two colleagues."

Fang Ping turned around and looked at the two people on the rostrum who were speechless.

"What do you think of this case now?"

Hearing this, the two of them put down the book of ten thousand words in their hands at the same time, and then shook their heads.

"Although the cause and effect of this case are clear, the hidden circumstances are too special, and you don't have any ideas in the next moment, Lord Fang, you have been up and down for many years, and your knowledge and insight are a hundred times better, I don't know what you think of this case? How should this case be decided? โ€

"Lord Du Yushi, I don't know how to judge this case, so I won't put too much beak in the next, Lord Du Yushi, you are experienced, the verdict of this case is mainly based on Ling, no matter how you judge, I have no opinion in Xia."

The black cauldron was flipped back.

As soon as Zhao Bingliang's words fell, everyone looked at Fang Ping in unison.

However, before Fang Ping could speak, Hu Yan in the crowd hurriedly stood up, and then said to Fang Ping eagerly: "Lord Du Yushi, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules, no matter what, Xia Yan's corruption and bribery and collusion with the demon queen's henchmen are all facts, this person is not dead, where is the national law?" Please also ask Lord Du Yushi to take into account the overall situation, put the law of the country first, and don't be emotional, otherwise how can you be worthy of Your Majesty's trust? โ€

Hearing this, the Yongchuan courtiers immediately looked at Hu Yan with indignation.

The blood-red gaze was as hideous and terrifying as if it was going to devour him alive.

But Hu Yan was not frightened by them, his face did not change at all, and he was ready to continue to fight for his glory and wealth.

And yet, at this momentโ€”

"Hu Langzhong's words are wrong!"

A sonorous and powerful voice sounded in everyone's ears.

But it was Lu Chen who finally stood up!
