Ganqing Palace, the Western Warm Pavilion, the sandalwood in the hall sways, and the air is filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"The miscellaneous family heard that Lord Liu and Mr. Xu have a close relationship! But this case involves a lot, and the people in the world are watching this case. You can't put the national law behind your own personal affairs!" Zhang Fu next to him also performed a final move.

Longqing originally didn't like Liu Tigan very much, but at this moment he said coldly: "I don't care about your affair with Xu Jie, but if you don't do your job well, be careful of the black hat on your head!"

"I will definitely not let down the emperor's trust!" Liu Tigan said in fear when he heard that he wanted to take off the black hat on his head.

Longqing's anger dissipated a little, but he still said with a gloomy face: "Get back!"

"I will leave, long live my emperor!" Liu Tigan found that Longqing was completely different from Longqing in the morning court at this time, and he also bowed respectfully.

This time, I felt Longqing's imperial power very rarely, and his back was already wet. When he walked out of the Ganqing Gate, his body couldn't help but tremble in the face of the cold wind blowing towards him.

At this moment, he finally felt Longqing's attitude. This time, not only Lin Xuran would not let the Xu family go, but the emperor would not forgive Xu Jie.

If he was determined to protect the Xu family, he would not say that this was not something he, a small minister of justice, could do, and I am afraid that the black hat on his head would be lost.

The next day, the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

"I will be punished!"

Liu Tigan interrogated Xu Ying again, but changed his image as a gentle good uncle yesterday, but said loudly in a slap.

Huh?

Wang Bai and Xu Gongyuan turned their heads and looked at Liu Tigan suspiciously, and found that after entering the palace, it was like a different person.

ah!

Xu Ying, who was wearing clean prison clothes, looked up at Liu Tigan in disbelief and thought that she had heard that Liu Tigan was going to punish him. She seemed unbelievable and thought she had heard it wrong.

The two yamen handlers straightforwardly pressed Xu Ying on the ground with a long stick. The person behind took off Xu Ying's pants and exposed his white butt.

Bang!

Before Xu Ying could react, the two tall yamen fans raised the stick in their hands and slammed them hard at the butt.

ah……

As the stick was hit, his butt turned blue, causing Xu Ying to scream on the spot.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The two yamen fans ignored Xu Ying's screams and then slammed Xu Ying's butt in a tacit way, and soon the whole butt was beaten to the flesh and blood.

Liu Tigan looked at Xu Ying who screamed in a pig, but asked without any pity on her face: "Xu Ying, the evidence of your destruction and flooding of the fields is conclusive. Do you want to do it or not?"

Huh?

Xu Gongyuan blinked his eyes and looked at the righteous Liu Tigan in confusion, but he was sure that he had no amnesia. Liu Tigan clearly hated him for believing that Xu Ying was falsely accused by Xu Guangnian yesterday.

How long has it been, how come he completely changed his position and wanted to force Xu Ying to confess.

"Sir, Xu Guangnian falsely accused me of unjustly because I stopped him from occupying other people's land!" Xu Ying said firmly.

Liu Ti's face sank, but he snorted coldly: "It's clear that you are here to argue. You don't admit it at this point, and you beat me hard!"

"Shangshu Liu, this move..." Xu Gongyuan wanted to maintain Xu Ying, so he turned his head to dissuade Liu Ti's main road.

Liu Tigan seemed to have eaten it and said that he was so decisive that he immediately scolded him fiercely: "Shut up!"

After all, Xu Gongyuan was just a fourth-rank Dali Temple Minister. After all, he was scolded like this, but he did not dare to contradict him.

Wang Bai looked at Liu Tigan's attitude change, but he was like an outsider, quietly watching everything in front of him.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The two tall yamen felt Liu Tigan's strong will, so they raised the stick in their hands higher and then slapped them hard on the bloody butt.

Because the board of the Ministry of Justice has a fine hook on it, when lifting the board, it will also lift the thin tendons on the butt, which will increase the pain of the person being tortured.

ah……

Xu Ying's butt had been beaten to pieces, but she still felt the piercing pain, but she continued to make a pig-killing scream.

Liu Tigan turned a deaf ear to Xu Ying's cry, but looked at Xu Ying who was crawling on the ground coldly and said, "Xu Ying, don't think that if you don't admit me, you can't do anything to you. I have some means to ask someone to confess!"

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I'll do it! I'll do it!"

Xu Ying was different from Xu Fan, who lost his mother since childhood. She was born with a golden key in her mouth. When did she suffer such pain? Now she feels Liu Tigan's strong will and immediately begs for mercy.

this……

Xu Gongyuan originally thought that he should protect Xu Ying in this way to revenge Xu Jie's promotion, but when he heard that Xu Ying had actually taken action, he was shocked.

If Xu Ying is beaten to death and refuses to admit it, then this matter will only be in a deadlock. After all, Xu Guangnian cannot produce practical evidence, and the case will not be investigated over time.

But just as he was so ignorant of the importance of this third young master Xu, he couldn't even stand a beat, so he chose to confess.

When Wang Bai saw Xu Ying confessing, he was stunned for a moment. However, he didn't expect that this problem would be solved by Liu Titan. He turned his head strangely and looked at Liu Titan. He was really a villain and still needed to be punished by evil people.

"Let him draw a picture!" Liu Tigan's face remained unchanged and ordered in a deep voice to the person next to him.

Xu Ying knew that his signature would bring serious consequences, so she couldn't help but feel hesitant, but the yamen who came forward helped him press his handprints directly.

Xu Tigan looked at the documents sent, and felt that his black hat had been saved. Then she turned her head and looked at Wang Bai and said gently: "Zhengxian, now this case has been revealed, we will submit the case to close today. Documents!"

When things came to this point, Xu Party focused on completely destroying it, and Wang Bai was one of Lin Qiran's confidants, and now he also wanted to restore his relationship with Wang Bai.

"Everything is subject to the arrangement of Shangshu Liu!" Wang Bai was naturally happy to see this, and immediately followed the good deeds.

Although Xu Gongyuan wanted to repay Xu Jie, he could only take this matter aside and could only watch Xu Ying being sent to the dead end.

The results of the three departments' trial were soon made public, and Xu Ying admitted the fact that the dikes and fields were destroyed.

Farming has been the foundation for thousands of years, and water conservancy is the lifeblood of the dynasty. All dynasties and dynasties attached great importance to the production of the people. The Xu family actually achieved the purpose of occupying the land by destroying dikes and flooding fields, which was already the world's people. Nothing tolerated.

Especially in this case, the destroyed Baihedi drowned hundreds of Baihe Village villagers, which undoubtedly aggravated Xu Ying's crimes.

After discussion by the three people, the closing document was quickly submitted.

In the closing document, the three departments directly sentenced Xu Ying to the death penalty - Lingchi, and all the land occupied by destroying the dike and flooding the fields must be confiscated or returned.

The cabinet has become a bridge between all officials and the emperor. Even if the three officials’ trial results are completed, they will pass through the cabinet first and then be presented to the emperor.

Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng learned that Xu Ying could not bear the board and had confessed, so they knew that this matter was powerless to make the situation come true.

But seeing that the results of the three departments' trial did not involve Xu Jie, the two of them also chose to turn a blind eye and proposed to submit the conclusion to the emperor directly.

Lin Junran seemed to have no hatred with Xu Jie. Even though he knew that Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng had the intention to cover up Xu Jie, he did not stop him.

It is precisely because the three departments' closing documents were sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet submitted this judgment document to Longqing.

“Too light!”

Longqing, who had never been concerned about political affairs, rarely had his own opinion, but he sent back the Ministry of Justice's closing documents, which made Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng stunned.

The judgment document was beaten back, which was no longer in line with Long Qing's expectations. The two of them thought that Long Qing would have some old feelings and should have punished Xu Jie lightly, but they didn't want to choose to punish Xu Jie severely.

Wenyuan Pavilion, cabinet conference hall.

Faced with the fact that the verdict was beaten back by Longqing, Li Chunfang hurriedly convened a cabinet meeting to discuss the matter in order to find a solution.

After a simple test, Li Chunfang threw out his proposal and said: "Xu Ying's evil deeds should also be implicated, so he added to the judgment document to remove Xu Ge Lao from his official position as the people.

What do you think?"

Zhang Juzheng sighed inwardly, but knew that this was a very reasonable punishment.

After all, Xu Jie and Xu Ying are father-son relationships. Now that Xu Ying has done such evil things that are not tolerated by nature, Xu Jie naturally has to bear certain responsibilities.

It is precisely because Xu Jie was jointly responsible and was demoted to the people. It was a very reasonable judgment.

"Has Xu Ge Lao is Xu Ying's father, but he has neglected to educate his children, so he will naturally be punished!" Chen Yiqin faced Li Chunfang's gaze and nodded gently and said.

Li Chunfang looked at Guo Pu and Lin Qingran without any objection, and said gently: "If everyone has no objection, then the matter will be decided like this. We will amend this judgment document and submit it to the emperor!"

Zhang Juzheng and Chen Yiqin nodded gently, indicating that they had no objection.

"Master Yuan Fu, if you only modify the judgment document like this, even if you hand it over, you will definitely call it back. Let's discuss it again!" Seeing Li Chunfang's plan to submit the judgment document like this, Lin Qingran suddenly spoke.

Huh?

When Zhang Juzheng and Chen Yiqin heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Xuran in confusion, but they didn't understand why Lin Xuran concluded that the revised conclusion paper would be called back again.

Li Chunfang knew that Lin Junran had never been a targetless person, so she asked curiously: "Gei Master Lin, why did you say this?"

"Do you know that the emperor is too careless?" Lin Qingran held a teacup in his hand, and raised a question in front of everyone's eyes.

Li Chunfang hesitated for a moment and responded seriously: "Gei Master Lin, isn't it because this verdict did not involve Mr. Xu?"

"The so-called hard work and contributions of Mr. Xu should be the limit of his nationality, but he cannot be punished with additional punishment!" Zhang Juzheng knew the grudge between Lin Junran and his teacher, and immediately expressed his authentic position.

His teacher was demoted to the people and was already the bottom line he could accept. If Lin Junran wanted to take the opportunity to push his teacher to the guillotine, even if Lin Ruoyu was already the leader of all officials, Zhang Juzheng would be the first to disagree.

"It was because Mr. Xu's hard work and great contributions in the past, so he was too careless... It was not how the emperor wanted to reprimand Xu's sentence, but was referring to... another item?" Lin Qingran took a sip of tea, and seemed to be holding Zhizhu.

typical.

Guo Pu continued to drink tea on his own, while Chen Yiqin looked at Lin Qingran in confusion, while Li Chunfang asked with some clarity: "Master Lin, what do you mean... just returning the land acres is too light?"

"Master Yuan Fu, don't you really think this punishment is too light?" Lin Qingran held the teacup again in his hand, but asked in response to Li Chunfang's gaze.

Li Chunfang couldn't help but fall into deep thought when facing Lin Xuran's replies.
