The next day.

Ying Tianfu Yamen.

In the broad and bright hall, the upright plaque is hung in the middle. It is dark engraved and inlaid with emerald jade. Against the dark red wood frame, several flowing gold characters are shining and eye-catching. Two rows of Yamen servants in dark red uniform live separately, holding a long staff, which is quite dignified.

The villagers who are allowed to sit in can only stand at the end of the hall, almost to stand outside. Even so, the villagers are still standing in danger, standing the most straight body, head down to the lowest, and even dare not come out of the atmosphere.

Except for one person.

Lou Xiyan's eyes passed his hands around his chest, his back against the doorframe, and the solitary figure sitting on the threshold. His rebellious posture was incompatible with the hall of the government. His broken hat covered most of his face. Although he could not see his expression, Lou Xiyan could guess that he must be angry at this time.

Think of here, Lou Xiyan feel happy for no reason.

He was in a good mood, but some were angry.

It's 12:00 at noon, isn't it? These idiots didn't sleep last night. They didn't know what they were tossing about. This morning, at dawn, they put her up in front of yingtianfu, facing the sun and waiting until now!

The clothes on her body are thick and thick, and her back has long been wet with sweat. Her hat makes her breathless. On her forehead and face, she has been sweating a lot. Staring at the cool Lou Xi Yan before the official case, Zhuo Qing is extremely agitated.

Today's Lou Xiyan is very different from last night's, wearing a purple gold and white jade crown, a dark red and flowing gold robe, embroidered with a half reclining golden Qilin on the front, bright eyes, ready to go, and a jade ring on the pure black silk belt. His face is still the same smile, but no one dares to make mistakes in front of him.

"I'll see you later." Wu Zhigang, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, half knelt down, worried.

Although the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of punishment are supervised by the Minister of building, on weekdays, the review of criminal cases is in the charge of the Department of criminal and prison. It is absolutely impossible to see the Minister of building in the Yamen. He is a small official of four grades. How can he not be frightened!

Sitting on the couch beside him, he raised his hand slightly and said with a faint smile, "no gift."

Wu Zhigang stood up slowly, but he didn't dare to sit down. Lou Xiang was here. How dare he sit at the table? Wu Zhigang respectfully asked: "Lou Xiang is coming today. It's ······"

Lou Xiyan said with a relaxed smile: "hundreds of villagers in niujiazhuang jointly wrote a letter to avenge the case of Lin Bokang's stealing military provisions. What do you think?"

Lou Xiyan asked casually, but Wu Zhigang turned pale, clasped his hands, and quickly said, "Lou xiangmingjian, there are all human and material evidence in this case. Lin Bokang has confessed his guilt, and there is no injustice!"

"No injustice?" Lou Xiyan looked at the woman beside the hall and asked, "Lin, do you have something to say?"

Zhuo Qing raised her eyes a little, and saw a woman who was more than 50 years old had fallen on her knees. Although her voice was trembling, she came back very loud: "Prime Minister Hui, my wife visited my husband on the 18th of this month, the third day when the government convicted him. He said he didn't exchange military provisions. He was wronged!"

Before the woman's voice fell, Wu Zhigang couldn't bear it and said, "ridiculous! In black and white, there is a confession written by him. How can he say that he is wronged?! Master, please bring the file to the prime minister! "

"Yes, yes." The man who had been timidly standing on one side immediately rushed to the back hall. After a while, he ran out with a pile of things in his hand.

Wu Zhigang quickly took the file and handed it up with respectful hands: "Lou Xiang, this is the file of this case. There are all human and material evidences, so he can't deny it!"

Zhuo Qing half leaning on the porch, a pair of bright eyes squinting at the building sunset, waiting to see his reaction, he found Lin Bokang's wife, must have seen the file, only one night time, what else did he do?! This man is a very young man, for no reason.

Sure enough, Lou Xiyan didn't take over the file. Instead, she looked like a troublemaker. She sighed: "one of you insists that there is no case of injustice, and the other is crying out for injustice. In this case, I will bring the prisoner up and ask him in person."

Wu Zhigang was stunned, but he didn't dare to say anything. He whispered to the two yamen servants beside him: "you two, go and bring the prisoner Lin Bokang to the court."

"Yes." The Yamen officer took the order and left.

Who knows, this is half an hour, Zhuo Qing faintly feel something bad, Lou Xiyan is as usual, not irritable, a hand in the seat has a knock, but bitter, standing beside him, Wu Zhigang, forehead exuded a thin layer of sweat, but standing beside Lou Xiang, he did not dare to move.

After a long time, the two government officials who left came back. Wu Zhigang scolded: "how can I go so long?" Seeing that there was no one behind them, he said urgently, "where are the people?"

Both of them were panting, and one of them replied in a panic: "tell me, Mr. Lin Bokang. He committed suicide early this morning!"

Fear of committing suicide!?

Zhuo Qing secretly pays attention to Wu Zhigang's expression. When he hears the news, he almost stands unsteadily. His face turns from white to blue. It seems that he is scared too much. He should not pretend it. Lou Xiyan didn't say a word and frowned lightly. Maybe he didn't think that people were dead!Is it really suicide, Zhuo Qing subconscious negation, because - too coincidental, time control is just good!

"My Lord is dead!" The villagers around the outside stare big eyes. They can't believe it. They want to rush in. But Lou Xiang is present, and he doesn't dare to make mistakes. He can only do it in a hurry.

"My husband!" As soon as Mrs. Lin heard this, she collapsed to the ground and sobbed. She seemed to think of something. Mrs. Lin suddenly got up, pointed to Wu Zhigang and cried out, "my husband is wronged. He can't commit suicide. It's you. You must have killed my husband!"

Mrs. Lin rushed to Wu Zhigang crazily, and was stopped by the Yamen officers on both sides with long sticks, but she was still shouting and scolding.

Wu Zhigang came back to his senses and said angrily, "shut up, ignorant women and children will not roar in court! Get her out of here Wu Zhigang carefully looks at Lou Xiyan for fear that he will get angry. Fortunately, Lou Xiang looks thoughtful and doesn't seem to pay attention to the shrew's words.

"Let go of me!" After all, Mrs. Lin couldn't resist the two big men. The Yamen officer put her up and dragged her out.

"Wait a minute."

Just as Mrs. Lin was about to be thrown out, a cold voice rang out: "why rush to drive people, suicide or homicide? It's natural to see the body." Corpses never lie!

Cold voice in the lobby, especially harsh, but also speak of a whole body covered in the gray robe of the strange man, Wu Zhigang impatiently called: "who are you?! How dare you make noise in the hall

"Me"?
