Chapter 31: Intimidation Failed

In the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, two middle-aged men are quietly competing.

"My lord, I wonder what evidence you have that Fang Xing killed Qin Mengxue? If not, then I don't care about the feelings of my colleagues. This is a decision!"

In Shuntian Mansion Tongju Yali, Chen Jiahui spoke slowly while holding a teacup.

Although Chang Yao is half a level lower than Chen Jiahui, his aura is not weak at all. He sneered and said, "Since I issued the order to arrest him, I naturally have the corresponding evidence, but Mr. Chen, you must not hinder the case because of personal affairs." !"

This means that Chen Jiahui and Fang Xing's father have a deep friendship and are suspected of interfering with Chang Yao's case for personal gain.

When Chen Jiahui heard the words, he sneered and said, "Favouritism? But how did I hear that Qin Mengxue is a dog under your lord Chang?"

Chang Yao said disdainfully: "Master Chen, this is Shuntian Mansion, it's better not to show this kind of rumored news to your eyes!"

If someone heard these words from the side, they would probably feel very strange.

Although Tong San is only half a rank higher than Tui Guan, it is not comparable to Tui Guan in terms of power.

The general judge is somewhat equivalent to the deputy mayor of later generations. He has his own division of labor and part-time jobs to assist the governor (mayor) in his work.

The Tui Guan is equivalent to the president of the court in later generations, with a single power, which is far worse than the Tong Judgment.

But Chen Jiahui knew that even the prefect sometimes had to look at Hanwang's face and be kind to Chang Yao, even if Hanwang might not remember that he still had Chang Yao, the official pusher, he had to do so.

"Master Chang, the prisoner has been brought here."

At this time, a book office shouted outside the door, not shy at all that this is Shangguan's yamen.

Chang Yao's eyes flashed sharply, and he got up and said, "Okay, let me go and see how this well-dressed beast got into Juren!"

Chen Jiahui said coldly: "My lord Chang, you convicted my nephew before the trial, okay! I'll see how you tortured me today. Oh no! My nephew is a juvenile. Stare, Chang Yao, as long as my nephew has any troubles, if you don't wear this official uniform, I will pull you off the horse!"

Juren, he cannot be punished until he is expelled from the school by the academic officer, so what Chen Jiahui said made Chang Yao's body stiff, and he immediately walked out of the gate with a sneer.

"Your Excellency is promoted!"

With a long cry, Chang Yao came out from the back hall.

"Boom boom boom!"

The third class of yamen servants was beating the ground with sticks, and there was no scene of shouting mighty.

Fang Xing stood in the hall and squinted his eyes. After Chang Yao sat down, he heard someone coughing dryly outside the door. Looking back, it turned out that it was Chen Xiao's father, Chen Jiahui.

Chen Jiahui gave Fang Xing a comforting look, then stood with his hands behind his back, watching Chang Yao's actions with cold eyes.

"Crack! Who's in the hall?"

Chang Yao slapped the gavel and shouted sternly, with astonishing power.

If it was changed to the time when I woke up a few months ago, my legs would probably have been frightened.

But the current Fang Xing has already weighed the pros and cons, and just said indifferently: "Fang Xing is a human being."

Chang Yao's aura was suffocated, as if he was being held in mid-air.

Chen Jiahui outside the door couldn't help but stroked his beard and nodded, his eyes were full of admiration.

In those novels, scholars face grievances righteously and with reason and evidence, but in fact, everyone knows that as long as they are in court, they can speak clearly and they are considered courageous.

But Fang Xing not only enunciated clearly, but was also neither humble nor overbearing, which is quite rare, so the onlookers nodded frequently.

Fang Xing looked at Chang Yao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, which showed that he was sincere.

Chang Yao was annoyed, especially when there were outsiders watching. He wanted to drive everyone away, but with Chen Jiahui as a superior, he couldn't give orders, otherwise Chen Jiahui would have reason to insinuate that he wanted to take personal revenge.

But...Chang Yao remembered that Fang Xing was just a scholar,

After a cold snort in his heart, he said, "Fang Xing, did you go to the Huibin Building at noon the day before yesterday?"

According to Chang Yao's experience in handling cases, anyone who has a ghost in his heart will definitely be able to see some clues from his expression once he asks about his concern. So he kept a close eye on Fang Xing, just looking for doubts and loopholes.

"Yes, I went to Huibin Building at noon that day."

But Fang Xing disappointed Chang Yao, he didn't dodge, he looked at Chang Yao and replied.

"Brother Dehua!"

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and then Chen Ling ran over with sweat on his face, looking out of breath, he probably just got the news.

Seeing Fang Xing standing under the hall, Chen Ling rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush in.

"Ahem!"

After a dry cough, Chen Xiao looked aside, and immediately walked over in a regular manner, but said with some annoyance: "Father, why didn't you rescue Brother Dehua?"

"idiot!"

Chen Jiahui cursed, and then warned: "Look carefully at me, don't talk too much! Otherwise, you will look good when you go home."

Chen Ling lowered her head in frustration, but she heard footsteps again. Looking back, it turned out to be Ma Su.

Ma Su was also out of breath and covered in dust.

"... Then I ask you, why did you poison Qin Mengxue? Tell me! Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to have a heart like iron and an official's law like a furnace!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The killing stick of the third class of yamen servants began to strike again, and Fang Xing's murderous aura enveloped Fang Xing's body, but he just shrugged his shoulders and said with a half-smile: "Dare to ask, my lord, why did I kill Qin Mengxue? Where is the evidence?"

If it is an ordinary person, then Chang Yao can order to beat him at this time, but Fang Xing is a man, unless he invites an academic officer to peel off Fang Xing's Confucian shirt, otherwise he really dare not do it, otherwise he Chang Yao He is the public enemy of scholars all over the world.

Chang Yao snorted coldly: "It seems that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin! Good! I will fulfill you, pass the witness."

witness?

Fang Xing smiled very kindly, in the eyes of outsiders, this was the manner of a scholar, not nervous at all.

After a while, two men walked in timidly, knelt on the ground and shouted for the master.

Fang Xing didn't know these two people, so he just looked at Chang Yao coldly and asked questions.

"Do you two know him?"

Chang Yao pointed at Fang Xing and asked.

The two men raised their heads and looked at Fang Xing carefully, and said half-heartedly, "Yes, sir, this man went to our Huibin building for dinner at noon that day, and there were two other people with him."

After hearing this, Chang Yao laughed and said, "Fang Xing, what else do you have to say?"

Fang Xing looked up at the sky speechlessly, and said quietly, "Mayor, is that Qin Mengxue dining at the Huibin Building at the same time as me?"

"Exactly!"

Chang Yao's eyes were shining like cat and mouse.

Fang Xing still said in a calm manner: "Then according to your lord's method, everyone who was in the Huibin building at noon that day was suspected, why did you only bring me here?"

"That makes sense."

Chen Xiao grinned and said, "If Mr. Chang died in the lobby today, wouldn't we all be murderers?"

Chen Jiahui shouted: "Shut up!" But his expression betrayed him.
