After a night of silence, Ning Fan and Ning Fan gradually woke up from their practice. Xiao Longnu's usually cold face was now a little more rosy. Her eyes looking at Ning Fan were never wavering, but with a bit of strangeness. color.
"How does it feel?"
"Brilliant!"
"Sir, you..." Little Dragon Goddess looked ashamed and angry, and whispered: "I mean, can your cultivation level be improved?"
"Well, break through a small realm!"
"Um!"
Xiao Longnu's voice became as thin as a mosquito. She stretched out her hand and fired out a burst of internal energy. Her clothes covered her body and she looked at Ning Fan and said, "Master, this trip is over. Do you want to rush back to Huainan?"
"Not in a hurry!"
"The matters in Nanliang County are not over yet, let's go to the county town first."
"good!"
The two of them got up immediately. Xiao Longnu was feeling unwell, so they went to find a carriage first. After a sleepless night, Ning Fan's spirit seemed to be a little sluggish.
The carriage was speeding and swaying on the ancient road, which was really a kind of torture for Ning Fan, who was used to walking on smooth bluestone roads.
County town.
Zhao family.
A young woman with a delicate face and slender figure was doing laundry in the courtyard, when a young man dressed as a servant rushed in quickly.
"Miss Bai."
"Something big happened, guess what?"
Bai Qinglian looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, and the young man chuckled: "Jin Yiwei is going to restart the investigation of the Bai family case. Now, all the officials from the county governor's office have been brought into the Yamen for interrogation."
"What!"
Bai Qinglian's face showed a deep look of shock. Seeing this, the young man quickly said: "Miss Bai, the grievances of your Bai family back then have finally been redressed."
"is this real?"
Bai Qinglian still couldn't believe it. What happened back then was handled by the county governor's office, and it was almost a solid case. Who dares to overturn the case of the county governor's office?
Is Jinyiwei okay?
"real!"
"It's absolutely true. I won't tell you anymore. I guess the second young master will come to tell you the good news soon."
"I dodged first."
The boy left quickly and hid all the way. Not long after, he saw a well-dressed and dignified young man coming in. Seeing Bai Qinglian's dazed expression, he stepped forward and said: " Qing Lian, let me tell you good news."
Seeing that he remained silent, Zhao Linggong continued: "The grievances of your Bai family have finally been discovered by the higher authorities, and Jin Yiwei is ready to intervene."
"Brother, what kind of organization is Jinyiwei?"
"No matter how powerful they are, can they still overturn the case of the county magistrate's office?"
"Hahaha!" When Zhao Linggong heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Qinglian, you have been away from home all year round, so you may not know that Jinyiwei is an ancestor-level figure. As long as it is a case that is targeted by them, there will be no It can’t be done.”
"No matter you are a high-ranking official, a wealthy family, or even a relative of the emperor."
"As long as Jin Yiwei wants to deal with you, it won't matter who comes."
"The imperial power has granted the right to kill first and report later!"
Hearing Zhao Linggong's words, Bai Qinglian's eyes also glowed with hope: "Brother, I want to leave the house, can you help me?"
"this……"
Zhao Linggong suddenly fell into a tangle, and said with an embarrassed look: "Back then, in order to keep you, my father used a lot of connections. They didn't let you show up in public. If you are targeted by those from the county again...I'm afraid it will be... Even father can’t protect you.”
"Brother, this is the only chance for my Bai family to redress the injustice. Besides, I have been looking forward to this day day and night for the past eight years!"
"Please, help me!"
Bai Qinglian suddenly knelt in front of Zhao Linggong, with a look of pleading on his face.
"That's...okay!"
"However, you must not show your face outside, let alone let others know your identity!"
"Do you understand?"
"Uh-huh!"
…
Jinyiwei Yamen.
Wu Wende, the governor of Jinyiwei Town in Jiangnan, personally tried the case of the Bai family. Above the main hall, several middle-aged men in official uniforms stood.
The atmosphere in the entire hall seemed particularly surprising. There were more than a dozen Jinyi guards in Feiyu uniforms standing around with swords in their hands, their faces showing a coldness that could not be seen from thousands of miles away.
"Ascending to the Hall!"
"mighty!"
With a loud shout, Wu Wende sat upright in front of the desk, looked at the officials below, and said loudly: "This time, I personally came to Nanliang County Mansion to try the case of the Bai family's collusion with the horse bandits. As far as I know , was the Nanliang County Government personally handling the case back then?"
"Exactly!"
Standing in the center of the lobby was a middle-aged man of commanding height, with an aura of someone who had been in a position of power for a long time.
"Your Majesty the Governor, although the Jinyi Guards have the power to monitor the world, I am the guardian of a county and was granted the title of the late emperor. I am here to assist you in your retrial, not to be your prisoner!"
"Please, Lord Governor, please think twice!"
"That's right, we are the third-ranking officials of the imperial court. Even if we are involved in the case, it should be tried by the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment. How can Jinyiwei set up a private yamen without official documents from the imperial court?"
"presumptuous!"
Wu Wende shouted low and slapped Xingmu in his hand. The guards around him unsheathed their swords and pointed them at the people in the palace. It seemed as if they would rush forward and kill them as long as the governor gave the order. !
"Gudu!"
Zheng Luo couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a chill rose in his heart, and he looked a little more wary when he looked at the Jinyi Guards Commander who was looking up.
"I am the envoy of Jinyiwei Town in the south of the Yangtze River, entrusted by His Majesty. I have the power to patrol Jiangnan and supervise all officials. I can behead first and report later. With the permission of the emperor, even if it is a court hearing, it is within my responsibilities as a Jinyiwei."
"If you are dissatisfied, you can write to the imperial court and ask your Majesty to punish you!"
"However, this is in court now. If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame me for using criminal law!"
"By the way, my Jinyiwei's court is not your county's court, and it doesn't have that many rules!"
After hearing Wu Wende's words, Zheng Luo's expression gradually darkened and he looked at the county lieutenant aside, who nodded slightly.
"Master Wu, I have already closed the case of the Bai family's collusion with the horse bandits, and all the files have been recorded!"
"I don't know why, but eight years have passed before the trial was re-opened?"
"snort!"
Wu Wende snorted coldly, opened the file on the desk, and said softly: "Don't you know why there is a retrial?"
"Do you think that by silencing the gentleman who forged the letter and beheading the entire Bai family, the case will not be overturned?"
"The legal net is wide open and there are no omissions!"
"I have ordered people to find out. If you persist in your obsession, I, the Jin Yiwei's butcher knife, will not show mercy."
"See for yourself!"
Wu Wende threw the evidence in his hand directly to the ground. Zheng Luo motioned to the official beside him to pick it up. After the latter picked it up and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
