Xia Yan's case was soon completely settled with the empress coming to the three divisions for trial.

This iron case, which was once not favored by anyone and felt that since the evidence was conclusive, there was no need to retry it at all, the final verdict after the retrial was extremely unexpected, which made the jaws of those who originally wanted to see Lu Chen's jokes fall to the ground.

Although Xia Yan was corrupt and bribed, his original intention was not to swallow pleasure, but for the people of Yongchuan.

Moreover, this move not only did not cause any harm, but made the people of Yongchuan live and work in peace and contentment, and their hearts were oriented to the imperial court, and there were no rebellions like other states and counties during the chaos of the Demon Queen, endangering the community, which was undoubtedly a great achievement.

Considering these two points, the three legal divisions finally jointly resolved to revise Xia Yan's original death sentence, change it to stay in office, and continue to serve as the Yongchuan County Commander until the next evaluation.

Although it is a crime to be retained, as long as anyone with a discerning eye knows that this so-called guilty is just a deliberate dignity left by the imperial court, and anyone who really regards Xia Yan as a person who wears a crime will definitely be unlucky.

After all, as soon as the trial of the three divisions ended, Xia Yan was summoned into the palace by the empress to encourage him, and staged a good show of getting along with the monarch and the minister, and the court officials present at the time couldn't help but be envious in tears.

If anyone can't read such an obvious signal, they might as well go home and farm.

It didn't take long for the Xia family to be acquitted, becoming the first criminal official to successfully overturn the case since the fall of the Demon Queen, and then escape from death.

But Hu Yan was not so lucky.

As the official of Jingxiang Qing of the Criminal Department, he has such a big case within his jurisdiction, and a crime of dereliction of duty will definitely not be able to escape, after all, Xia Yan is guilty, but the crime is not to death, he did not understand the ins and outs of this case at all, so he hastily closed the case and filed it.

Even if this is the practice of many officials of the Criminal Department, he will not be able to escape the involvement.

Of course, if it is just a dereliction of duty, it is probably only the result of demotion, at most he will be dismissed from his official position, and he will return to his hometown to become a rich man.

However, the day after the end of the triage, someone went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to report him for corrupting the law and colluding with officials from other ministries for personal gain, and also provided a lot of key evidence.

So that night, a team of Xuanwu guards patronized Hu's mansion, searched in Hu Yan's terrified eyes, and finally found 30,000 taels of silver, 50,000 copper coins, and countless calligraphy and paintings of various gold, silver and jewelry masters.

Then, without any suspense, Hu Yan was cold.

All the stolen money was collected into the state treasury, and he and his family were all put in prison, and they were locked in the cell where Xia Yan was before him, and he was tried at a later date.

This is the real iron case, without a trace of suspense.

If Lu Chen asks for a retrial of this kind of case, maybe there will be a chance to achieve his goal.

But it can't be helped, there are restrictions in the system that can't act too unreasonable, and he can't vouch for an irrelevant person.

Unless some kind of opportunity arises naturally for him to find an excuse to intervene in a straightforward manner.

Not only Hu Yan, but also Zhao Bingliang and Qian Yiqian, who performed poorly in this three-division trial, are not much better.

Although they were not demoted or dismissed, and no one reported them for being corrupt and perverting the law, the empress's eyes when she looked at them completely lost their trust in the past, but were full of indifference.

Being able to climb to the position of the second and third rank masters, their ability to observe words and colors is naturally not bad, and the change in the empress's attitude towards them almost immediately noticed it, and they were terrified for a while.

If he is liked by the emperor, no matter how humble his status and official position are, he will inevitably be expensive in the future, on the contrary, if he is disgusted by the emperor, even if he is in a high position, it will be extremely fatal.

Perhaps, if it weren't for the fact that the empress didn't have a suitable candidate to serve as the secretary of the criminal department and the secretary of Dali Temple, they would have been removed a long time ago.

This triage of the three divisions was like a demon mirror, allowing Jiang Chengwan to see clearly those vain people under the fame, and also realized that she couldn't believe too much in the so-called fame.

After all, most of the fame and prestige of these famous celebrities come from famous families who share their interests, rather than the people who feel it the most.

In this incident, Qian Yiqian, Zhao Bingliang, Hu Yan and others were undoubtedly all losers, and they were all defeated, and Hu Yan was even more imprisoned, without the slightest possibility of turning over, which can be regarded as a complete waste.

"Tsk... This Lu Chen, it really doesn't make people feel bored......"

In the Zichen Palace, Jiang Chengdao, who had just come back not long ago, couldn't help but be amazed after listening to his sister's description.

"I didn't expect that so many interesting things happened when I was only a few days away from Beijing, alas... It's a pity that I couldn't catch up, otherwise I can take a good look at the style of his words that will make you understand the way of the emperor. ”

Jiang Chengwan shook her head, and did not follow the topic, but instead said: "Brother Huang, how is the matter of the Nanpi Gu family done now?" ”

Speaking of business, Jiang Chengdao immediately restrained the smile on his face, and his face became serious.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen has ordered Xuanwuwei to 'escort' the Gu family into Beijing, it should be here in these two days, and the edict that was redrafted before can be sent to Motian City at noon tomorrow at the latest, and handed over to Gu Simiao, the general of the Zhuguo who guards the barren state, as long as she leaves within half a day, she will never delay the New Yuan ceremony."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengwan's eyes quietly flashed with a gleam.

"Really? That's good, after all, the [New Yuan Grand Ceremony] is such a grand event, it is not possible to do without a pillar general, they have been guarding the eight directions for the empire for many years, and they have worked hard, and I can't ignore such loyal people who have made great contributions to the court. ”

"yes."

Jiang Chengdao smiled.

"I'm going to have to thank them."

The empress said again: "Is the mansion ready to settle the Gu family?" ”

Jiang Chengdao bowed slightly.

"It's ready, it's in the mansion of the original official department in Dongcheng."

The Empress thought for a moment, then nodded.

"That's fine, such a good mansion for them to live in temporarily, but they won't be wronged, Brother Huang, please send two teams of Xuanwu guards to guard it."

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Brother Huang remembers to explain, Gu Simiao guarded the northwest for the imperial court, and fought so that foreign races did not dare to easily cross the wasteland, and she is a well-deserved hero of the imperial court, so no matter what, we must ensure the 'safety' of her family and not make the slightest mistake."

"When necessary, some coercive measures can be taken."

Hearing this, Jiang Chengdao nodded without hesitation.

"No! Wechen will do it. ”

As the words fell, he turned around directly and strode outside.

It hurt too much to stay up late last night, and I almost fell asleep standing today, and let the little brother return blood, and the chapter that I owe must be made up later!
