Supreme People's Court.

"Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

Yuntai's voice came from his ears, waking Zhou Jinsong up.

He hurriedly replied, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about something." ”

"Think about something, can you tell me, what is going on?" Yuntai was a little curious, what could make Zhou Jinsong so troubled really made him curious.

Zhou Jinsong sighed and immediately said, "Alas. Do you know that just today, I met Wang Ke. ”

"Wang Ke, that niece of yours, I heard that she has recently been favored by the lord and promoted to secretary of the Prime Minister's Office. Yun Tai's eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "You two are relatives, what does it matter if you meet each other?" Seeing that Zhou Jinsong was still frowning, he couldn't help but feel surprised, and asked in a low voice: "Or did you talk about hearing some rumors?"

The Prime Minister's Office is the center of power that manages the entire Guannai, and in order to ensure that Xiao Feng knows what he thinks in time, there have always been people watching the secretary position.

This position was able to be obtained by Wang Ke thanks to Zhou Jinsong's help.

Thinking about the news he got from his niece, Zhou Jinsong complained: "Alas. Do you know about the case that you and I joined forces to force down a few days ago?"

"You mean the Zhou Peiling case?" Yun Tai's expression became solemn and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Jinsong closed his head and replied: "That's right. Yesterday, however, I learned from my niece that the Lord was aware of the matter and had sent someone to check on it. ”

"What?" Yun Tai was stunned and shouted directly, his voice so loud that he himself was startled.

Hurriedly closed his mouth, Yuntai swept around, and only after seeing that there was no one did he put his mind at ease, and complained: "You mean, what we have done has been revealed?" ”

"Maybe. But now the lord has not taken action, which is really confusing. Zhou Jinsong replied.

Yun Tai let out a long sigh and replied, "Alas. Even if the lord does take action, what action can the two of us take? Don't forget, in addition to being the prime minister, the lord is also the prime minister. Although he did not claim the title of emperor, his authority was the same as that of the emperor. If she reproaches, what should we do?"

"What can it be? It's just that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. Zhou Jinsong saw that Yuntai was so scared, but he straightened up and complained: "Don't forget, what did the lord say when he established the Supreme People's Court?"

"Uphold integrity, judge the order of heaven and earth, and explain the needs of the people. ”

Yuntai recited the words that Xiao Feng had written at the beginning.

Zhou Jinsong reproached: "In that case, then what are you afraid of? The reason why we are like this is just to avoid interference from others." If the Ministry of Railways uses this as an excuse to interfere in the case, then should we deal with it? Will we be able to reason with the Ministry of Railways? When the time comes, I am afraid that there will be a rumor of internal discord. ”

"Of course, I understand that it is important to maintain the independence of the judiciary and avoid interference from the powerful and bureaucrats. ”

This is the reason why Zhou Jinsong persuaded Yuntai and others at the beginning, and this appeal also made Yuntai willing and addicted to it.

But when he thought of Xiao Feng, Yun Tai was still scared, and continued: "But don't forget, she is Xiao Feng, if she really investigates it, what should we do?"

"Of course I do. But do you think, this is not a big deal for us, what kind of problem can it be? For that Zhou Peiling, we did not abuse, let alone coerce and induce, even if the lord is investigated, what can we do?" Zhou Jinsong comforted: "And you also know that the reason why we chose to hide this matter in the first place was all to ensure the independence of the court." I think if the lord knew, he would have accepted it. ”

"Maybe. But what if the lord really blames him?" Yuntai continued to ask.

Zhou Jinsong patted his chest and said, "Of course, we bear it together." You must know that when this decision was made, everyone decided together. ”

"It's nature. ”

Yuntai bit his lip, but it was still difficult to suppress the tension in his heart: "It's just that you also know that in addition to the two of us, there are five other people." Needless to say, Long Tao and Xiao Bin are diehards who respect the lord, and they have already offended them in order to suppress this matter. The other two are neutrals and have never had a position of their own, except Naja Rui, who is very troublesome and has always wavered in his attitude. If he is in trouble, it is a little troublesome. ”

"Set up seven people to check and balance each other, presumably the lord has long known that this will happen. ”

A trace of chagrin appeared on Zhou Jinsong's face, whenever he wanted to do something, he would be restrained because of this, and he couldn't do anything.

This feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Anyway, you go and find that Li Lu first. I'm going to ask him what the lord is asking him about. Zhou Jinsong commanded.

Yuntai also quickly found Li Lu.

Before Li Lu came to the Supreme People's Court, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he noticed the eyes of the two of them, and asked in a low voice: "The two presidents, I don't know what they are looking for me here?"

"I heard that recently, the lord has been looking for you?" Zhou Jinsong asked.

Li Lu sighed in his heart, and secretly said that this is indeed the case: "That's right." The lord came to me to ask about Zhou Peiling. He didn't hide it, after all, everyone knew about it, so there was no need to make unnecessary explanations.

And so it was. ”

Zhou Jinsong and Yun Tai glanced at each other, secretly feeling nervous.

"In that case, what did the lord tell you?" Staring at Li Lu with his eyes fixed, Zhou Jinsong felt nervous, for fear that he had missed something.

Li Lu shook his head and replied with a blank face: "Dean Qiyu, the lord didn't say anything, just let me handle it impartially, that's it." ”

"Is it just impartiality?" Zhou Jinsong felt strange, and couldn't figure out what Xiao Feng meant by this false shot.

Li Lu thought for a moment, then nodded violently and replied, "That's right, that's it." ”

"In that case, then you can go. Remember, you must handle it impartially, and you can't continue to procrastinate. You must know that this case has dragged on until now, and it really can't continue to drag on, otherwise there may be some kind of moth. You have to learn about this case as soon as possible, understand?" Zhou Jinsong felt a little relieved in his heart, and solemnly instructed.

Li Lu hurriedly replied: "My subordinates understand. ”

After that, Li Lu left, preparing to bring Zhou Peiling out for a third interrogation.

"Huh. As long as this case is understood, I don't think the lord will continue to question. Zhou Jinsong chuckled, looking a little happy.

"That's right. As long as this case is over, we don't need to be so reminded. ”

Although Yuntai was puzzled, he also said kindly, although he felt that Zhou Jinsong was too affectionate about this matter, as long as he could escape from Xiao Feng's questioning, then he didn't have to continue to worry about it.
