After rebirth, I became a national teacher

The maid who came to gossip didn't understand why Madam Yan reacted so strongly.

Mrs. Yan naturally wouldn't explain to her and just waved her hand to send her away.

But I am still scared.

Although Zhang looked weak and delicate, she was so cruel that she actually sent people to Cihang Temple to kill people and set fire.

This would really offend Cihang Temple!

Fortunately, the master had the right idea at the beginning and stopped her from telling Zhang about the Cihang Temple.

Otherwise, now that they are in the abbot's mind, along with the prefect, their crimes would probably be even more serious.

Even if she went to burn incense every day and emptied out all the assets of the Tongzhifu as offerings, the abbot might not forgive them.

Luckily fortunately!

After being thankful for a while, Mrs. Yan suddenly had an idea.

Cihang Temple wants to sue the wife of Marquis Jingnan, and his master happens to be a man in the government. Isn't this a perfect opportunity for their family to show their piety!

When giving gifts or showing kindness, it is important to make sure that the gift touches the other person's heart.

No matter how many times you offer gold, silver and treasures, it would not be as sincere as helping out at this moment.

But... this would inevitably offend the Marquis of Jingnan's Mansion.

Mrs. Yan was a little undecided.

But he also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he immediately called his trusted nanny:

"Wanfu, you should go to the government office immediately and ask the master for advice. The Cihang Temple was set on fire by the wife of Marquis Jingnan. The case has been reported to the government office. Do you want us to help?"

The nanny took the order and left.

Then, this matter reached the ears of Yan Tongzhi.

The Nandu government office handles a lot of cases every day, and there are also many civilians who try to sue the powerful.

People in the government office have long been accustomed to this.

Generally speaking, the government would ignore it and just kick the person out.

Huiyun and Huiming of Cihang Temple undoubtedly received the same treatment. After beating the drum to appeal for justice, they were taken in by the clerks to question the case and then were left on the bench.

Yan Tongzhi was the second-in-command of the government office, so naturally such a case was not important enough to be brought before him.

Therefore, although he was in the government office, he had to wait until the government sent him the news before he knew that the people from Cihang Temple had arrived at the government office.

After a little thought, he made a decision.

"Go and call the victims who filed the complaint in. I have accepted their case!"

He is much more decisive than Mrs. Yan.

With the divine messenger and master here, Cihang Temple has a bright future. Any intelligent person can see that.

If they, together with the prefect, could get a seat in front of the abbot early on, not only would their family members' life, old age, sickness and death be guaranteed in the future.

Even if other powerful or important people in the family or even in the capital fall ill in the future, they will probably be blamed.

The Jingnan Marquis Mansion cannot provide any of these benefits.

Therefore, stepping on the Jingnan Marquis' Mansion to gain power is a very profitable deal.

Not all cases in the government office can be tried by the prefect alone.

As the deputy of the prefect, the Tongzhi also has the authority and responsibility to go to court to try cases.

Of course, as a temporary capital, the Nandu government had more than one hall for hearing cases.

Therefore, Huiyun and Huiming were quickly invited into the lobby.

At this time, many people had heard the news and came to watch.

In order to show fairness, the then emperor Tai|zu ordered that the common people could observe the trial of the case.

Seeing that so many people gathered outside so quickly, Yan Tongzhi knew that Cihang Temple might have carried out other operations, or even worse, there were other people secretly helping.

Thinking of this, I felt a sense of crisis.

They can't let others outdo them. In this matter, the prefect must take the greatest credit!

The two groups of yamen runners swung their sticks in unison and shouted mighty words.

Tongzhi Yan, wearing his official uniform, stepped onto the platform, slammed the gavel, and asked in a businesslike manner:

"Who is here? What is your complaint?"

After performing the ceremony, Huiyun looked up and saw that the official in charge was wearing the uniform of a fifth-rank official, which made her feel much more at ease.

The fact that Yan Tongzhi stepped forward to personally take over their case has already shown his attitude.
