"Bachelor Mei, Xiang Liu, it's a pity that you two haven't left the palace yet."

Mei Yanyu was immersed in the past, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, and was brought back to his senses by a single sentence.

Xiao Liu'er seemed to have something important to do, he was sweating profusely when he left, and he was relieved when he saw them.

Liu Hanqiu paid attention to Mei Yanyu's movements from the corner of his eyes, and asked first after thinking about it: "But is there an order from the official?"

"Indeed." Xiao Liu'er cupped his hands and said, "The officials are urgently ordering, and they are already waiting in Yanhe Hall."

Running errands for urgent matters is always a must in being a housekeeper.On the way here, Xiao Liu'er had already made plans to chase him out of the palace, but luckily the two of them hadn't left Xuandemen, otherwise they would have to send someone to the mansion to inform them.Just because of the official's anger when he came, I'm afraid it will add fuel to the fire.

Since it was impossible to delay, the three of them immediately hurried to the Yanhe Hall.

The Hall of Yanhe remains the same, even the location of the objects inside has not changed.As soon as he stood still behind the screen, he heard the reprimand of the official from inside.

"Since you have a clear conscience, how can Mrs. He go to Yushitai to sue you?!"

Before actually stepping into the hall, he knew that this matter involved the very difficult Yushitai.Liu Hanqiu thought about it, he didn't know who had fallen into the trap, and he guessed what caused the officials to get angry.

A letter was spread out in a mess on the wooden floor, densely packed with ink stains in the style of Taige, and at the end were the seals of Yushitai and Zhao Yanchen.

No need to guess, it must have been thrown by the person in the seat in a hurry.There were still two people standing beside Zhazi.One of them was Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Yanchen, and the other was Zhang Wenyu, the Minister of Dali Temple who was not very common.

Xiao Liu'er honestly withdrew his eyes and bowed to report, "Officials, Bachelor Mei and Xiang Liu have arrived."

Being interrupted by such an interruption, the official temporarily suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Xuan."

When Mei Yanyu and Liu Hanqiu came in, the officials gave them seats again.In the end, only the servants were asked to move three stools, and Zhang Wenyu, the Minister of Dali Temple, was left standing, clearly unwelcome.But the three people who had a seat were also uncomfortable. There was only one person standing next to him, and it was uncomfortable to sit on pins and needles.

"You two came just in time."

The official raised his jaw.Xiao Liuer understood, and immediately arranged the paper on the ground and handed it to Mei Yanyu and Liu Hanqiu.

Each of them held one side, while reading the contents of the letter.It didn't take a moment for the doubts in his heart to disappear, but his expression was unusually dignified.

"finish watching?"

The official opened his mouth at the right time, glanced at Zhang Wenyu who was bowing his head, and then continued to ask: "What do you think about this matter?"

Slightly calmed down with shock in his eyes, Mei Yanyu calmly replied: "According to Zhao Yushi Zhazi, Dali Temple Minister Zhang Wenyu was unfair in handling the case, so that the person involved in the case, Mrs. He, went to Yushitai to appeal for grievances. But is that so?"

Zhao Yanchen sat upright, with a serious face, his hands tucked under the sleeves of his purple official uniform, and he said without hesitation, "That's true."

As the censor Zhongcheng, not only to picket the officials, but also to be an intermediary between the court and the people.But now He's going to Yushitai to sue Dali Temple, according to his position, no matter what, he will be impeached.

"I think, can Master Zhang explain the cause and effect of He's case in detail first. If there is something wrong, it will not be too late for the officials to blame him."

Liu Hanqiu felt chills when he thought of what he had read on the note just now.It is not an exaggeration to say that He's case is devoid of human nature.

The thought of calling these two people over naturally shows that this matter is a bit tricky.Although the officials looked angry, Zhang Wenyu couldn't bear to walk around now, but in fact, they gave him room to change.After all, if you really want to question the crime, you don't need to mobilize the teacher to discuss it again.

Sure enough, the official family seemed to have regained the rationality of being indifferent to emotions in the past, glanced at Zhang Wenyu, and said coldly: "Say it."

For Zhang Wenyu, it was a disaster from heaven.He has only been an official for two years, and his qualifications are young, but he is still doing his best.At this moment, I can only suffer from being dumb for the time being, and retell the case in every detail.

"On April [-]th, Mrs. He gave birth to a baby boy at home, but together with her husband, she drowned the baby boy in the water basin. The midwife smashed the body when it was thrown out the next day, and reported to Dali Temple. Witnesses and material evidence With all of them here, I arrested He’s husband on April [-]th, and closed the case.”

The cause and effect of this answer were clear, and the faces of the people present changed again and again.The officials even asked in a cold tone: "Are you sure that the He couple drowned their parents and children?"

Zhang Wenyu's legs and feet were numb when he was already standing, and for the sake of his innocence, he could only endure the discomfort.

"The birthmark on the arm of the dead baby was confirmed by the midwife. Moreover, the He couple has also confessed."

Things have come to this point, not simple, but more complicated.Because it was the He family who was guilty first.

In the Heng Dynasty, it was expressly stipulated that abandoning and refusing to adopt parents and children was strictly prohibited.To put it bluntly, it is to live without giving up.Not to mention that the drowned son of the He family is scary, but tiger poison doesn't even eat children.

"I have a question." Zhao Yanchen frowned, "Since He and his wife committed the crime together, why did Mr. Zhang only arrest He's husband?"

Hearing this, the official's originally slightly relaxed expression tended to turn cold again.His eyes fell on Zhang Wenyu, who was wearing a crimson official uniform, obviously waiting for a reasonable answer.

Zhang Wenyu calmly said: "I asked carefully about the reason for the drowning of the He family. It was because the family was poor and had already had two sons, so they couldn't support it. I also investigated it, and it was true. If the couple went to prison, wouldn't they Two innocent children who are underage are cornered."

His words were so forceful that even Zhao Yanchen, who impeached him, had to admit that Zhang Wenyu had done nothing wrong, and it could even be said that he had considered everything comprehensively.Changed other officials to sit in the position of Dali Temple Minister, but he might not be able to think of the two naives.

Mei Yanyu nodded in agreement, "There is nothing wrong with Mr. Zhang's handling of this case."

Rubbing the fingers in his sleeve vaguely, Liu Hanqiu thought about it, and then said, "But according to Zhao Yushi Zhazi, the He family is suing Mr. Zhang for disregarding human life, which is unreasonable."

The official even considered the childishness of the defendant, and handled the case according to the laws of the Heng Dynasty. He should be grateful.I don't want to be bitten back, it's quite like Mr. Dong Guo in Zhongshan Wolf.

"This... I don't know..."

If the reason is clear, how could Zhang Wenyu be called to Yanhe Hall for training suddenly.He shook his clothes and knelt down, touching his head to the ground, but he didn't panic too much.

"Xiao Liuer, go and call Pei Lian and Chen Juncong."

The official closed his eyes and rubbed his temples with a headache, simply out of sight and out of mind.After thinking about it, neither Mei Yanyu nor Liu Hanqiu is suitable to intervene in this matter, not to mention that the two of them have just passed the Chunwei exam, which is really hard work.

The hall was completely silent, and when the irritable mood eased up, the official said: "You can get up and sit down. Bachelor Mei and Xiang Liu will step down for now, Zhao Yushi still needs to work hard."

Not long after, there were only three people left in the huge Yanhe Hall.Officials, Zhang Wenyu, Zhao Yanchen.
