Before He Gu Jin could answer, the people watching outside started shouting, and the crowd was excited for a while.

Ordinary people know very well what it means to be an official. Nowadays, officials everywhere are busy making money to make up for their shortfalls, and they have used almost all the means at their disposal.

The people watching on the scene, even if they have not experienced it personally at this moment, have been exploited a lot in the past, and they are extremely angry at this moment.

But normally, the people are always silent, and not many dare to shout in the government. This is thanks to the fact that Xue Pan arranged domestic slaves among them.

Seeing that the head of the family was going to lose when he sued the government, they implemented their pre-planned strategy and encouraged the people to denounce the government.

Obviously, Xue Pan is not a brainless person, and he has staff to help him find a solution.

In addition to arranging manpower among the people who were watching, he also mobilized his various businesses in the past few days to spread the "truth" about the case to the outside world.

In this way, the Xue family becomes a role that pleads for the people, and they can rely on public opinion to protect themselves and eventually become invincible.

It is precisely because of this that Qian Ruiming put all the blame on Feng Yuan in order to calm down the incident as soon as possible.

But the problem is, with Zhu Jinghong's strict orders in front of him, He Gujin would not dare to close the case easily.

It happened that public opinion was raging at this moment, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "The situation of this case is complicated. How can I explain to the people if I end the case rashly? Can you and I stop Youyou's mouth?"

Qian Ruiming was about to speak, but Zheng Xianlin spoke first: "This case is important. His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to wait for the trial to show fairness. Now the people's minds are difficult to calm down. It is prudent for Mr. He to handle it carefully!"

"Master Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Xuyan, the censor of the patrol capital, had no expression on his face from beginning to end, because he didn't want to get too involved in this matter.

Now being asked by Zheng Xianlin, he had to speak.

"You two adults are running the place with thorough thoughts and considerations, and I have no objections!"

The consensus reached by the Chief Secretary, the Chief Secretary and the Supervising Censor is the highest decision-making in Jinling Province, and the officials below have no choice but to resist.

Secretly praising Zheng Xianlin for his timely assist, He Gujin slapped the crowd and said loudly: "I have decided to withdraw temporarily and wait for another trial later!"

This is very interesting, it can be an hour or two, or it can be a day or two later.

The chief officials of the three halls stood up and left, and the other officials also dispersed. Hu Jinan walked up to Xue Pan.

"Brother Xue, we have nothing to do with each other, why are you chasing me?"

"The matter has come to an end, and I don't want to cause trouble. If you withdraw the complaint, our matter will be over!"

Hu Jinan smiled and spoke in a low voice, but Feng Yuan at the side still heard him.

Feng Yuan had seen what had happened just now, and the hope that had raised him was extinguished again. Now that he heard Hu Jinan's words, he felt even more desperate.

However, Xue Pan snorted coldly, and then walked away without talking to Hu Jinan at all, which greatly exceeded Feng Yuan's expectations.

Xue Pan left, and the officers from the Ancha Division also rushed over, picked up Feng Yuan, and took him down.

At this time, Feng Yuan can no longer be imprisoned in Yingtian Mansion Prison.

On the other hand, He Gujin originally wanted to invite Zhao Xuyan to discuss it, but the latter simply refused and left because he had something to do with the Yamen.

There was no other way. According to Chasi's inner hall, only Zheng Xianlin accompanied him.

"Old Zheng, what should we do next?"

Zheng Xianlin replied in a deep voice: "We have done everything we can, right?"

Picking up the tea cup, He Gujin nodded and replied: "Almost!"

"We just sang in harmony, and we are already standing opposite our colleagues in Jinling. I think we can explain to the prince!"

Turning around, Zheng Xianlin looked at He Gujin and said, "Why don't you... go ask the prince for advice!"

"Okay... let's go now!" He Gujin put down the tea cup.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xianlin said: "You are the one presiding over the case, so I don't have to go!"

"To be honest, I still have a lot of things to do over there!"

"The cavalry from the Beijing camp will be mobilized to join the battle, and it will cost more money and food. The prefectures and counties that have already donated money and food will have to..."

Listening to Zheng Xianlin's constant nagging, He Gujin said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!"

Palace garden, inside the pavilion.

Zhu Jingyuan frowned while leaning on the railing, looking at the rippling lake in front of him.

According to the situation of the prosecutor's case, someone would come to report every ten minutes, which made Zhu Jingyuan very anxious.

At the table next to him, Zhu Jinghong was eating snacks and drinking tea. He and Zhu Jingyuan had completely different mentality.

"Fourth brother, come here and sit down to drink tea. Don't your legs feel sore from standing all this time?"

"Fourth brother?"

After being called out twice in a row, Zhu Jingyuan slowly turned around and said anxiously: "Thirteenth brother, if the case cannot be tried, your plan will fail. How can I not be anxious?"

"Fourth brother, who said the case can't go on to trial? Isn't this just the beginning?"

Pointing to the outside of the pavilion, Zhu Jingyuan became more and more anxious: "Didn't you hear just now? I couldn't continue the trial at the beginning!"

Zhu Jinghong was unmoved and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, that's normal, but if you change your mind, things will be different!"

In Zhu Jinghong's view, there are too many cards to play at the moment, and Zhu Jingyuan is completely guarding the golden mountain without knowing it.

After sitting on the stool and taking the tea cup from Zhu Jinghong, Zhu Jingyuan asked: "How can I change my mind?"

"Nowadays, you have full authority to decide all matters in Jinling, right?"

"yes……"

"In other words, your words are equivalent to an imperial edict, right?"

"Thirteenth brother, don't you dare say such nonsense!" Zhu Jingyuan was extremely cautious.

Zhu Jinghong didn't take this seriously, but continued: "So, isn't it all your decision on how to try and decide?"

As both an athlete and a referee, Zhu Jinghong couldn't imagine how he could lose, so he really wasn't worried.

However, after hearing his words, Zhu Jingyuan was still confused.

Just when he was about to ask a question, he heard the young eunuch outside reporting: "Your Highness, the inspector, He Gujin, wants to see you!"

"What is he here for?"

Zhu Jinghong said helplessly: "Of course he is complaining, isn't that what the official is like?"

In the past few days since he came to Jinling, he has met with so many officials. Logically speaking, Zhu Jingyuan should have realized this a long time ago, but now he is still asking questions, which makes Zhu Jinghong speechless.

"See you?"

"Of course I want to see you, after all, we still rely on him to run errands!"

Zhu Jingyuan didn't say much and directly ordered: "Call him in!"

From the end of the trial to the secret discussion between Zheng and He, it was now past noon, and He Gujin only came after lunch.

"Coward Lao Zheng, let me come here alone, if something happens...you old boy can't run away!"

He Gujin kept complaining in his heart, and soon He Gujin was taken into the garden and led outside the pavilion.

"I, Jinling Inspector He Gujin, come to see His Highness the Crown Prince, Thirteenth Master!"

Looking at He Gujin kneeling outside, Zhu Jingyuan said: "Without courtesy, get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Gu already knows about the case. What will happen next according to Chasi's plan?"

"The Crown Prince and the Thirteenth Master confessed that I do not dare to cause any delay and vow to conclude the case for His Highness!"

First shout out the slogan to show your loyalty, and then take advantage of the situation to talk about the difficulties. He Gujin is very familiar with this skill.

"But now... there is insufficient evidence, and it is difficult to advance the case. I have made many plans with the Chief Envoy Zheng Xianlin, but in the end I couldn't figure it out!"

He never forgets to mention Zheng Xianlin, and He Gujin has a good intention and is afraid that the matter will be taken care of by himself.

"That's why I came here to ask the prince for instructions..."
