After receiving Xia Yan's handwritten love letter, Lu Chen comforted Xia Yun a few words, and at the same time promised Xia Yan that even if he risked everything, he would clear his name.
Regarding his attitude, Xia Yun couldn't hide the look of ecstasy on his face.
"Master Lu, I leave everything to you!"
He knelt heavily on the ground and said in a loud voice: "If the Xia family can escape this disaster, I, Xia Yun, swear here that I will tie a grass ring in my life to repay Lord Lu for his kindness!"
"Don't do this."
Lu Chen waved his hand to him.
"Don't say that Sir Xia was kind to me when I was in my last days. Even if I and Sir Xia have known each other my whole life, I will never stand idly by and let a good official like Mr. Xia die unjustly."
Hearing this, Xia Yun suddenly choked up.
"Master Lu still understands my father."
He stood up slowly, while rubbing the corners of his eyes, he choked and said: "Everyone said that my father was greedy and said, 'Yamen are only open for the rich. Don't come in if you have reason and no money.' He is a corrupt official who will be screwed sooner or later." , sometimes even my son thinks so, and Mr. Lu is the only one who has always believed that my father is a truly good official..."
Warnima!
Hearing Xia Yun's words, Lu Chen almost took off in embarrassment.
If you can't speak, can you speak less? ! It’s hard for me to talk like this!
Xia Yan's expression was even more bizarre.
Although I had known for a long time that my son was a bit short-minded, I never expected that he would be so exaggerated...
Shaking his head, Xia Yan approached the cell, looked at Lu Chen, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly: "Mr. Lu, I have nothing to say. I just hope that Mr. Lu, you will act within your ability. As the saying goes, there is cause and effect for both right and wrong. It’s a fixed number, never force it, everything should be done naturally.”
Having said this, he bowed slightly towards Lu Chen, cupped his hands, and said solemnly: "However, no matter what the outcome is, I will accept your love."
He didn't kneel down and beg, and he didn't ask Lu Chen fiercely to rescue them. He just expressed his gratitude calmly.
Such an attitude made Lu Chen inexplicably feel a very faint sense of foreboding.
For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with Xia Yan's reaction.
But if I want to express it concretely, I can’t say it.
There is a slight subtlety to it.
Unable to think of a reason, Lu Chen had no choice but to think that Xia Yan was more open-minded by nature, so he didn't think more about it.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xia, I will do my best!"
After that, in order to prevent Xia Yun from saying anything embarrassing to everyone, he turned around, clutched the love letter in his hand and walked outside.
As he walked, he said to the two people behind him without looking back: "We'll wait for the good news later."
Seeing Lu Chen's retreating back, Xia Yan shook his head again, returned to the pile of straw and sat down cross-legged.
"father."
Xia Yun walked over and asked with some anxiety: "Master Lu, is he reliable?"
Xia Yan raised his eyes.
"So what if it's reliable, so what if it's unreliable? As of now, he is the only one who is willing to help us and run for us. In this case, don't think about this or that, otherwise you will only worry about gains and losses, which will only increase your worries."
After hearing this, Xia Yun thought for a while and felt that what his father said was indeed correct.
If Lu Chen is reliable, then everything will be fine, but if he is unreliable, they can't change anything.
Whether you care or not, the result is the same.
In this case, there is no need to think too much.
Just do whatever you want, just let nature take its course.
Not long after Lu Chen left the Tianlao, several figures walked out of the Tianlao one after another, and then quickly left in different directions.
Obviously, this seemingly insignificant little seventh-grade official has begun to affect everyone's nerves.
Even if you just come to Tianlao to visit the prison, you will be stared at by some interested people.
……………
Lu Chen went straight back home and directly ordered Xiaoyu to serve on the four treasures of the study. He began to draft a memorial and prepare the corresponding application documents.
He has always been an activist.
Then, in the morning of the next day, Lu Chen walked into the Tai Chi Hall on time to go to court.
Then, just as the eunuch screamed: "If there is something to do, we will go to court, if there is nothing to do, we will leave the court!" He walked out from the crowd and bowed to the empress on the high platform.
"Your Majesty, sir, Lu Chen from the Engineering Department has a special report on the matter!"
Seeing this, everyone suddenly looked at him curiously.
This thing has only been stable for two days, why did it appear again so quickly? !
What are you planning to do this time?
There was no expression on the empress's face, she just looked at Lu Chen quietly.
"No need to be polite."
She held her in the air for a moment, and then continued: "What can Lu Aiqing do?"
Lu Chen grabbed the board, glanced at some keywords written in advance on it, and then raised his voice: "Please re-examine the case of Yongchuan County Magistrate Xia Yan's corruption and bribery, preying on the common people, and colluding with the Queen Mother's accomplices! "
Upon hearing this, most of the courtiers were a little confused.
what's the situation?
Xia Yan, magistrate of Yongchuan County? Which onion is that from?
Why would this guy go all the way to stand up for that guy named Xia Yan?
Then, before they could react, the empress spoke again.
"Accurate!"
The crisp response instantly echoed throughout the hall.
Before everyone had time to figure out which state and county Yongchuan is, which small county in the corner of the country is located, how they should respond, and whether they should show their sense of existence, the empress directly agreed to Lu Chen's application.
Didn't even ask a question!
Looking at her posture, it was as if even if Lu Chen asked for Xia Yan to be released immediately, she would agree without hesitation and even compensate him with a pile of gold and silver.
Even Lu Chen himself was a little confused.
Eh?
no!
Your Majesty, why don't you follow the routine?
That's a prisoner! Moreover, there are several death row prisoners who were arrested and imprisoned in the sky prison for treason against the Demon Queen’s remnants of Daxia!
Normally, shouldn't you first ask, "The evidence is conclusive, why do we need to retry it?"
What's the point of your direct agreement?
How can I answer the call with you like this? How do you pat your chest to guarantee it? How could he take advantage of the situation and offer to use everything, including his official position, as a guarantee for him?
For a moment, Lu Chen was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to continue.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't respond, the empress asked calmly.
"Is there anything else Lu Aiqing wants to say?"
"Forehead..."
Lu Chen came to his senses, but he couldn't leave or stay.
The empress was so unexpected that she simply stopped him.
But life has to go on, and in reality there is no time for him to think.
"No...no more..."
He responded with dry lips and prepared to retreat.
Forget it, it's a pity that the appetizers are gone, but as long as it doesn't affect the main event later.
The case is retried, but the person is not released directly.
It's better to wait until the court opens before performing.
But just when he thought so——
"Your Majesty, no!"
Along with this urgent obstruction, after Li Zheng, Xie Hongyun, Wang Zhi and others who had been beheaded, Lu Chen's good teammates finally appeared again.
