Chapter 029: The Emperor's Personal Trial

Yang Jiulang smiled again and spoke,

"If the emperor can deign to hear this case in person, and I, as Bao Mian's lawyer, can you imagine whether Lord Bao's face will become Guan Gong?

"After you say this, I feel very interesting, tell me about your arrangement",

"Okay", Yang Jiulang replied immediately,

"There must be three people for the trial, not to mention one emperor, plus Prime Minister Wen and Pang Taishi",

"Why?", the emperor asked,

"Looking at this case, Bao Mian is just a substitute for the dead, and the real target of the other party is your Aichen Bao Zheng Bao, this one who wants to kill Bao Daren, the so-called other party is Pang Taishi, the year before last, because of the Chenzhou incident, Bao Da smashed his third son Pang Xing", seeing that the emperor only listened silently, Yang Jiulang stopped,

"Actually, even if the emperor has a clear trial, there is no need to punish Pang Taishi heavily",

"Why is that?", the emperor immediately asked again,

"The emperor thinks about it, was Lord Bao too anxious back then, just imagine, if at that time, he handed over all the evidence of Pang Xing's crimes to the emperor first, and then handed over the evidence to Pang Taishi with Pang Xing under the emperor's arrangement, so that their father and son could say a final goodbye, I think, within three days, Pang Taishi will definitely send his son to the court with his own hands", the emperor's eyes lit up when he heard it,

"If that's the case, the emperor's wisdom, Lord Bao's favor, and Pang Taishi's selflessness are all presented in front of the world, isn't it better than the life and death of you who are making trouble now?", the emperor is about to laugh, and his favorability towards Yang Jiulang is comparable to none of the civil and military ministers of the entire Song Dynasty.

"So what do we do now?",

"I told the emperor, only God knows, the earth knows, the emperor knows, I recommend Prime Minister Wen because he is a neutral, the emperor only needs to hand over the case to him, the two of us just wait for the court, the emperor will judge, I can cooperate secretly", the emperor also smiled, Yang Jiulang continued,

"After finding out the facts, the emperor must not punish anyone, you just need Prime Minister Wen, a good old man, to comfort both sides, until the two of them take the initiative to ask for punishment, and the emperor only needs to reduce the punishment they asked for by another level", Yang Jiulang stopped talking, only looked at the emperor laughing, and the emperor was also laughing,

"Then I can get two confidant ministers?", Yang Jiulang didn't answer, he just laughed,

"It's a pity, if Lang Gongzi can assist by the widow's side, why should I worry so much?", Yang Jiulang asked rhetorically,

"May I ask the emperor, who am I staying by my side now, and what am I doing?", he just laughed, and the emperor laughed,

"It's better this way, the most important thing is to save me a fortune", but there is still a gloom in his eyes that can't be concealed,

"Your Majesty, be your first emperor through the ages, and if necessary, I will appear by the emperor's side at any time", this time the two laughed at the same time.
