Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Lin Yan was truly shocked beyond measure.
How come he is here?
When Lin Yan first left the village for training, in order to find the whereabouts of "Qianbian Qianbian", he went to Lingxi Town, which was close to the border of Nanman, where he met the innkeepers Song Yi and Zi'er.
Later, in order to help Song Yi fight against the "Underworld Cult", he teamed up with Feng Yichen, Mo Xiaoxiao, Li Tieniu, and Jin Yitan in front of him to defeat the leader of the stronghold, An Daoquan, and rescued the town from the cult. civil.
But isn't he the master of Laiyang County? What are you doing in Chang'an City?
Although there were a lot of questions to ask, Lin Yan still let him into the yard first.
Since Ming Ya and others didn't know him, Lin Yan gave him a brief introduction, then turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jin Yitan smiled and said: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so why don't we be more enthusiastic? After all, we share the same sorrow."
Lin Yan didn't answer his words and looked at him steadily. From that time on, he felt that this person had a mysterious origin and a deep mind that was always hard to see through.
Now that Jin Yitan, the master from the border county, suddenly appeared here at this special time, he must have a purpose!
Jin Yitan smiled bitterly when he saw this, thinking: This kid has been very smart before, he can't be fooled!
He glanced at Ming Ya and others next to him, and Lin Yan understood immediately and said, "Don't worry, they are all trustworthy!"
Jin Yitan looked around and said, "I'm here to help you!"
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "Do you know this? Who are you?"
Jin Yitan said mysteriously: "I belong to the second prince. There will be changes in the court tomorrow. For the sake of our previous friendship, I want to remind you. What happens after that is not something you can interfere with. Everything will be left to you. Me!"
Hearing this, Lin Yan already understood. He had been confused before. With Jin Yitan's talents and abilities, how could he settle down to be a small master in a border county? Now it seems that this should be the second prince's original plan. Although it is not clear what the specific purpose is, now that Jin Yitan has returned to Chang'an City, it means that things have been effective.
This case is no longer just a personal feud between Wei Meng and Li Qiming, nor does it involve just a mere industry prince, but has gradually evolved into a game between two princes.
Jin Yitan was right, a competition involving this level was indeed not something he, a civilian, should get involved in!
Obviously, the second prince's own purpose was not this case, but to influence the prince step by step through this case. It was just a temporary agreement of interests.
After that, Jin Yitan pulled Lin Yan aside, whispered a few more words, then turned and left.
Nowadays, the development of things has gradually escaped their control, but they don't know whether this change is good or bad!
Lin Yan shook his head, as if trying to get rid of the uneasiness in his mind, thinking: We can only wait and see what happens!
…
The next day, the Jingzhao Mansion summoned Wei Meng's case again, and Lin Yan was also summoned as an important witness in the attack and murder.
Unlike the previous ones, this trial was not open to the public, which also hinted at something. It seemed that the court did not want people to be present.
When Wei Meng and Lin Yan arrived in the lobby, they looked up and found that the person sitting there was not Li Kaizhi, the former Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion, but an unknown person.
This man was skinny, with a mustache, protruding cheekbones, and a pair of small eyes.
Although he looked unattractive, Lin Yan clearly felt that the atmosphere at the scene today was much more solemn. Not to mention the government officials standing up straight and not squinting, even the normally arrogant Li Qiming had restrained himself a lot, his eyes full of fear for the people on the high platform.
At this time, Lin Yan had roughly guessed the identity of this person. He was the only one in Jingzhao Mansion who could do this!
Sure enough, the people on the stage were shocked and said: "Li Shaoyin is not feeling well today, so I will personally review the case. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am the chief official of Jingzhao Mansion. Huang Shiliang!"
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes when he heard this and thought: That's what he said, but whether Mr. Shaoyin is really unwell or he is under pressure and unable to participate in the case, anyone with a discerning eye can make his own judgment in his heart!
Mr. Yin Huang of Jingzhao Prefecture doesn't care whether everyone believes it or not. What he said is just a face-saving project, and the next case trial is the focus.
Not long after, Eunuch Yao entered the scene, greeted Mr. Fu Yin, and then began to listen. His attitude was obviously better than before towards Mr. Shao Yin, and he was extremely respectful.
Afterwards, Jin Yitan wore a green shirt and entered the venue alone. He bowed deeply to Mr. Fu Yin on the stage and then sat aside. Apparently he had already said hello before.
Eunuch Yao looked at Jin Yitan, his eyes full of hostility, but the latter held his fan and waved it gently, looking calm and calm.
The two people represent different camps. If the master is at odds, it is naturally impossible for the subordinates to deal with them.
The case was still being heard as usual. After the evidence session, Li Qiming's lawyer Yuan Tangjing appeared again.
On the other hand, Wei Meng could not find a suitable lawyer to fight this lawsuit in the huge city of Chang'an.
On the one hand, it is because although Yuan Tangjing has a bad character, his abilities are real, and few lawyers have the confidence to defeat him in court.
On the other hand, it was because Eunuch Yao's sudden appearance last time had caused well-informed people to speculate repeatedly, and no one dared to take on this job despite the pressure. Didn't you see that Mr. Shaoyin didn't come today? It's better for little people like them not to wade into this muddy water!
Wei Meng was not an articulate person to begin with. Under Yuan Tangjing's verbal attack, he was speechless for a moment. Obviously he is the victim and the truth is on his side, but it is the villains and accomplices who are talking endlessly, while he, the sufferer, is speechless and choked. Suddenly I felt a breath of bad breath in my chest, my eyes were red, and I wanted to spurt blood!
At this time, Lin Yan raised his hands and said to Mr. Fu Yin on the stage: "Sir, the student has something to say!"
Master Huang looked at this young man and naturally knew that he was a student of the academy. He also understood the role he played in the previous night attack. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a hero!
As we all know, as long as academy students do not die prematurely, their future will be bright.
Even though he is just a young man now, he might be able to have his own place in the court or the army in a few years. This is potential!
Mr. Huang said with a smile: "Speak!"
Lin Yan held up his hands again and said: "Thank you, sir! The student has something to puzzle about. The other party has a lawyer like Mr. Yuan who is eloquent and coincident. He can turn black into white, while Wei Meng is just an honest man. Man, isn’t that unfair?”
Mr. Huang nodded when he heard this, while Li Qiming on the side sneered and said, "I'm not stopping you from finding a lawyer. If you have the ability, just go find one!"
Then he glanced at Wei Meng with disdain and said disdainfully: "However, the ignorant people in the mountains and fields, I'm afraid they can't even pay for a lawyer? Huh? Hahaha..."
Listening to the other party's wild laughter, Lin Yan ignored him and then asked Mr. Huang: "The student would like to ask if there are any requirements for lawyers. Can anyone do it?"
Mr. Huang thought for a while, lawyers are usually scholars, after all, they always have to have some knowledge, but it is not a hard and fast rule, so he nodded.
When Lin Yan saw this, he turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jin, please!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was looking, and they looked weird for a moment. Most of the people who can be here know some inside information. It is said that this person has just arrived in Chang'an not long ago, but he is a person whom the second prince trusts, and his status will naturally increase as a result.
This guy actually asked him to be a lawyer. Could it be that the two of them knew each other before? But once the identity gap between the two parties is too big, what does the little friendship in the past mean? Is it possible that the famous man in front of the Second Prince would really stoop down to defend a commoner? Isn't this a joke!
But what everyone expected was that when Jin Yitan heard this, he stood up slowly and prepared to leave.
This shocked everyone present. Even Mr. Huang on the stage looked at Lin Yan deeply and thought: Is this young man really so famous?
No matter what, now that there is a lawyer, the case can proceed.
Although Jin Yitan intervened, Li Qiming actually didn't care. Yuan Tangjing's ability is obvious to all in the industry. This Jin Yitan who jumped out of nowhere may have an unusual identity, but after all, "skills have specializations." It would be difficult to defeat Yuan Tangjing in the field he is best at. What a god!
As for status suppression, he has the second prince on his side, and he also has the prince on his side! Who is afraid of whom!
With this idea in mind, Li Qiming took his time watching the show. And Yuan Tangjing also squinted at Jin Yitan, thinking: Since you want to make yourself uncomfortable, don't blame me for "hurting others with my words"!
As the debate began, both sides began to engage in verbal and verbal attacks. Yuan Tangjing was originally full of confidence, but after a few rounds, he was gradually suppressed by Jin Yitan.
Feeling the failure of words, Yuan Tangjing suddenly felt depressed in his chest. who is he? He is the leading lawyer in Chang'an City, and no one has ever been able to defeat him in a verbal dispute! How could he be weaker than a mere outsider?
Thinking of this, Yuan Tangjing became even more eager to suppress the other party in order to prove his strength, but little did he know that he was falling into the verbal trap prepared by Jin Yitan step by step. By the time he discovered it, it was already too late and the situation was decided!
In fact, with Yuan Tangjing's strength, Jin Yitan would not have won so easily. And he knew this very well, so he had already laid out the plan from the very beginning, inducing him to lose his composure step by step, and he succeeded in one fell swoop!
Yuan Tangjing could not accept that he had lost to Jin Yitan, a nobody in the legal profession! The ability that he was most proud of was easily surpassed by others, and the glory of being the best in the industry was ruthlessly shattered. Qi and blood surged in his chest, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out. Then his whole body leaned back and fell straight down.
The leading lawyer in Chang'an City could not accept his failure and was so angry that he passed out...
