Ten years later

Li Yuan's two months in the military camp were lackluster. He has led the army for many years, and he is very good at how to run the army-it is nothing more than giving both kindness and power, not stingy with rewards, and not limited to punishment.

Li Yuan also found that it seemed that the entire military camp had heard of his name.After talking with Captain Zhechong inadvertently, he realized that before he realized it, his reputation had already been spread loudly. Thinking about it this way, it was no wonder that the emperor it once served wanted to destroy the Great Wall itself.

Thanks to this, plus the fact that the Yuzhou garrison is under the Henan government, and the Captain Zhechong who was in charge before had been with Li Lian's old department, he was very respectful to him, which made Li Yuan's trip very smooth without any problems at all.Soon, several military households colluding with state officials and powerful officials were found out, and they were escorted to the state city.

It is estimated that Li Lian also thought about the possibility of an accident in the Central Plains in advance, so he disciplined the army here very well early in the morning.After realizing this, Li Yuan was a little annoyed. It seemed that everything was under Li Lian's control. If so, why did he have to come to Yuzhou by himself?

So when he heard that the case of occupying the military settlement was about to be closed, Li Yuan hurried back to Yuzhou without hesitation.

From the letters sent to the army, he knew that the case was not ordinary.Not only the prime minister opened a trial in the state capital, but also allowed the common people to watch. This has never happened before.Confucianism says that the punishment should not go to the big officials, and the common people commit capital crimes with shackles, but the officials only have the shackles but not the shackles.Even if it is a major crime, the common people will decide in the city, but officials of the seventh rank and above can be hanged in a hidden place, and officials of the fifth rank and above can commit suicide at home.

Such a merciless way of dealing with it immediately exploded among the common people.Li Yuan heard people discussing this matter all the way, and the time he arrived in Yuzhou happened to be the day before the opening of the class.Curious in his heart, he simply asked the guards to report to the governor's mansion first, while he stayed in the posthouse for one night, and mixed with the crowd to watch the governor's office early the next morning.

Li Yuan got up early and thought he could occupy a good position, but he still underestimated the "enthusiasm" of the people in Yuzhou.When Li Yuan arrived, the door was already surrounded by people from three floors inside and three floors outside, and he got a good perspective by virtue of his stature.After two quarters of an hour, the crowd suddenly became turbulent, and Zhao Nuo, who was originally sitting in the second seat, also stood up and bowed in the direction of the chief seat.

Li Yuan looked up, and saw Lin Ziqing walking into the main hall wearing a purple official uniform with thirteen gold and jade belts.After two months of absence, when Li Yuan first saw Lin Ziqing dressed so grandly, there was only one thought in his mind:

This official uniform suits Lin Ziqing very well.

Since breaking up with Lin Ziqing, Li Yuan didn't deliberately think about Lin Ziqing.But Lin Ziqing has been with him for many years, and Li Yuan is still somewhat unaccustomed to being strangers all of a sudden.In the past two months in the military camp, Li Yuan always wanted to greet Lin Ziqing inadvertently, but he realized that he was not by his side until halfway through the conversation.As a result, he didn't know who to talk to when he had something on his mind.

Li Yuan took another look at Lin Ziqing who was sitting upright, and at the same time made up his mind in his heart, he was a stranger to him, when did he meet Lin Ziqing and never knew each other before!

Xu Shi noticed the gaze staring at him, Lin Ziqing raised his head, and recognized Li Yuan in the crowd with just one glance.He pretended not to notice Li Yuan very impolitely, although his face was still calm and calm, the sweat in his palms had already soaked into the gavel.But after all, the officialdom has been ups and downs for many years, and he is used to strong winds and waves. Even if he was a little nervous under Li Yuan's gaze, he quickly adjusted.

With a slap of the gavel, the left and right are called to ascend the hall.

The show begins.

Lin Ziqing first asked people to read the previous criminal's confession in court, and then produced a clear list of physical evidence, each piece of evidence was as hard as a mountain, leaving no room for refutation.Everyone was surprised, this is not the way of the trial, it is clearly in the name of the trial, and the crime is pronounced in public.

After reading all the evidence, Lin Ziqing wanted to convict immediately.

The officials involved in the case never thought that this would be the case, and they were at a loss by Lin Ziqing. Before today, they didn't even know that they would be surrounded by people!

"Someone refuses to accept!" Someone suddenly shouted loudly, breaking the solemn and solemn courtroom.The common people outside knew that there was something exciting to watch, and they stretched their necks one by one.Lin Ziqing also stopped his movements, and asked the person who had spoken just now to continue.

"A certain person holds an official position in the imperial court. Even if he does not go through the joint trial of the three divisions, it should be decided by the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now you set up a private court on your own. What do you want to do so arbitrarily?"

Li Yuan frowned, what he said in a hurry was too unreliable.Set up a private court?The prime minister used the yamen of the governor's mansion to try the case, so it turned into a private court.What's more, Lin Ziqing has the right to act cheaply. Although this kind of court trial is a bit random and not in line with the rules, it can't be said to be arbitrary.

Besides, he and Zhao Nuo dared to make such a show, saying that Li Lian did not instigate behind them, and Li Yuan would never believe it.

Lin Ziqing stood up from his seat, walked up to the man and said with a sneer, "Since you know that you have an official position, why don't you shepherd and educate the people on behalf of Tian? Was he an official of the imperial court? Now that the incident happened, not only did he not want to repent, but he also contradicted the superior, which is even more sinful." As he spoke, Lin Ziqing raised his hand and knocked the man's hat to the ground.

Lin Ziqing flicked his sleeves, turned half-turned and said to everyone in the hall: "I am in charge of deposing the envoy, and it is my duty to monitor whether the officials are punished or not. Who else is not convinced?"

He paused, and then said, "Your files will be placed on His Majesty's desk. If you are still dissatisfied, you can present your case to the Lord in person after you go to Beijing."

After slowly returning to his seat, Lin Ziqing involuntarily glanced at Li Yuan's direction, Li Yuan smiled and nodded to him.

Li Yuan just thought about it, the majestic Lin Xiang today is completely different from Ziqing who came to look for him that night.But as soon as he saw that familiar look, Li Yuan knew that the two identities were the same person.He suddenly felt a little self-satisfied. Everyone knew that Lin Xiang's majesty was unattainable, but he alone had seen Lin Ziqing's various emotions.

Someone in the hall used a deafening voice to read the crimes of those people to the onlookers, and even all the people in the world.A good show has reached its most exciting moment, but Li Yuan doesn't want to watch it anymore.

He knew that he pushed Lin Ziqing away, so he should draw a clear line with him, and from then on, only the communication among colleagues remained.But he couldn't bear it, he had met countless people in his life, but except for Lin Ziqing, no one was so familiar with him, and gave all his heart to himself.

Li Yuan withdrew from the crowd and entered the back hall of the governor's mansion through the corner gate.He wanted to see Lin Ziqing soon.
