The location of the joint trial of the three departments was set up in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Due to the temporary vacancy of the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice was left to two ministers, Wei Cen and Zhang Yiwai. Today, in addition to the two persons who were reviewing the case, there were also the Censor Zhongcheng Yan Xu and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Cao Shaoqin also served as the three-party presiding judge in this case.

On both sides of the lobby, there are rows of officials. In addition to the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, and other censors, officials of Dali Temple are sitting at attention, looking very scary.

When this happened, Su Chen took Peng Zeliang's carriage and rode together outside the Penal Department Yamen.

"Are you sure?" Peng Zeliang asked Su Chen again when he got out of the car.

Su Chen said with a serious expression: "I can't tell until I see the body. It's hard to say now."

Peng Zeliang sighed after hearing this. At this juncture, Su Chen was not sure. In other words, if there was no abnormality in the body, or Su Chen could not find key clues in the body, then Peng Qingqing would probably be able to get a conviction.

Already.

Not only would his daughter face imprisonment, but he himself would also lose his official position and be demoted to a small local post, and his future would no longer be promising.

Su Chen's face was calm, but he was also worried. He didn't know the symptoms of the corpse, everything was unknown, and he had no other solution for the time being.

Peng Zeliang sighed: "I want to avoid this case and cannot follow it. Su Chen and Qingqing's matter depends entirely on you."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm with you in everything, and I will never put Qingqing in danger."

Peng Zeliang glanced at Su Chen meaningfully. Although he didn't like him before, as Su Chen rose to prominence and became famous far and wide, he accepted Su Chen as his prospective son-in-law and was recognized in his heart.

"Yixuan, after this matter is over, let's get the wedding done for you and Qingqing."

"Ah, what!" Su Chen was a little surprised. Was Peng Fuyin worried that he wouldn't be able to give his best, so he gave him a big sweet date in advance?

However, now is not the time for Su Chen to agree to get married, because he promised Bai Susu and Zhou Jiamin that they would get married in three years, and he also wanted to give the two daughters a chance to maneuver.

Su Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Peng, let's wait until we find an opportunity to talk about the marriage later. I can't have any distracting thoughts for the time being. It's most urgent to rescue Qing Qing first, so I'm going in now."

Peng Zeliang nodded and had no other thoughts. He had no idea that Su Chen still wanted to give Susu and Jiamin a chance. Otherwise, he would probably be furious: Brat, my daughter has been convicted in prison at any time, and you are still in my heart.

Thinking about other women.

Su Chen bowed his hands and said goodbye, turned around and entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, and came to the main hall on the top of the mountain with double eaves. When he stepped into the lobby, he immediately felt a solemn atmosphere.

A plaque with the slogan "A Mirror Hanging High" is clearly visible above. On the screen below the plaque, there is an ink painting of a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, with a powerful momentum.

On the three-foot public case in front of the screen are placed the four treasures of the study, the gavel, the verdict sign, the issuing order, the seal of the Ministry of Punishment and the sign tube. The sign tube contains red execution signs and several black signs for arrests. Except for some officials,

, two rows of government officials stood on both sides of the lobby, holding water and fire sticks in their hands, looking solemn and solemn.

Even though it was a sunny afternoon, standing here still felt cool and cold, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Su Chen was not a prisoner to be tried. He bowed his hands to the ministers present and introduced himself.

"Su Chen, I have met all of you sirs."

Among the Sun Party officials present, some of whom had never met Su Chen, they all looked at him with curiosity and approval.

People in the Sun Party have heard everything about him, and they admire this young man from the bottom of their hearts.

However, people from the Song Party and the New Party were political enemies of the Sun Party. Naturally, they did not want to see Su Chen being too outstanding and suppressing their disciples and young talents, so their eyes were cold and critical.

"Humph, you are Su Chen. You have no fame and honor. When you see all the adults present, you must kneel down and salute." A censor named Wu Qian snorted coldly at Su Chen.

Wei Cen, the Minister of Justice, took advantage of his face and said coldly: "That makes sense, Su Chen, why don't you kneel down."

He planned to use the power of the Minister of Justice to suppress Su Chen. He would give him a blow first and affect his state of mind so that he would not be able to use his abilities later.

Some people began to gloat over his misfortune, seeing how Su Chen would deal with it. After all, he had no fame or official position and was a commoner. He could be manipulated no matter how hard he wanted in front of third- and fourth-grade officials.

But Su Chen was not afraid at all, with a calm face, he took out the jade waist badge from his arms and said loudly: "This is a gift from the official family, and there is also a personal decree to be responsible for participating in this matter. If the official family comes in person, there is no need to

Salute to anyone."

As soon as his official badge and imperial edict came out, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that the official would be so kind to him. They gave him double insurance and said, "It's like I'm here in person." No one asked him to kneel down again.

Okay, it would be nice if these people didn't kneel down.

Wei Cen, Wu Qian and others all looked a little ugly. After all, they were slapped in the face on the spot, and they felt that their faces were a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Yi, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, smiled slightly. Seeing the people of the Song Party being defeated, he felt happy. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Come here, please quickly move a seat for Mr. Su Chen. He is here in person on behalf of the official family. You must not

Neglect."

"Here!" An official brought a chair and placed it on the right side, next to Fu Dongsheng, the royal minister of Shang Yao Bureau, and sat down together.

"Fu Yufeng has been here a long time ago." Su Chen bowed his hands to Fu Dongsheng.

Fu Dongsheng didn't dare to offend him and returned the favor quickly. In the palace, he knew how much the officials, the Queen Mother, Princess Yongning, etc. valued Su Chen. It wouldn't take long for him to become a celebrity in the royal family, and he would rise from the fourth rank.

The imperial minister is not qualified to entrust the emperor.

Moreover, Su Chen had to rely on Su Chen to find clues to the corpse, so he remained polite and polite.

"It's not too early, I'm just one step ahead of you." As soon as Fu Dongsheng and Su Chen sat down, they heard a police officer from the Ministry of Punishment came in to report. King Ji and Minister Han Xizai entered the courtyard of the Ministry of Punishment together. These two people were the supervisors of today's interrogation.

official.

Everyone got up and wanted to greet King Ji respectfully as a courtesy. He was a relative of the emperor and the most beloved brother of the official family. He was loved by the Queen Mother. Therefore, King Ji was quite favored. These third and fourth grade officials,

You have to be respectful.

Ji Wang Li Congqian and Han Xizai walked in almost simultaneously with You Jianyan. I don't know if they waited for each other outside, or they met by chance. Official science is also metaphysics, and many things are difficult to understand thoroughly.

In addition to the three people, Zha Yuanfang also came with him. He is both a family member of the victim and the complainant. Because of his official position, he cannot directly be regarded as the complainant and go to court for interrogation. Instead, he came in early to wait.

During the hearing, the complaint was handed over to the officials of the Cha family.

"My lords, you don't need to be polite, please take your seats." Li Congqian was twenty-three or four years old and his mind had already matured. He had been a prince for several years and had a certain prestige.

"Please sit high, King Ji!" Wei Cen asked King Ji to sit first on the left, and Han Xizai and You Jianyan sat on the second and third seats. They were both the most prominent positions on the left, showing that the official positions and titles of the three were indeed

Much taller than other observers.

After the three of them took their seats, Wei Cen, Zhang Yi, Cao Yongqin, Yan Xu and others sat back down.

"It's time to start." King Ji said.
Chapter completed!
