Above the main hall, Chen Yu received the order and Chen Shu thanked him.
When the two men were still at the position of the civil servants, Mu Zeyan, the adjutant of the judicial department, walked out of the queue one step ahead of the supervisory officer Yan Tieying in front of him, bowed and saluted, and said, "Revelation Lord Taishou, I have something to report."
In an instant, many people in the civil and military queues above the court looked at him sideways.
Those at the front just lowered their heads slightly and cast a slanted gaze, while many at the back had their eyes wandering directly on the backs of Mu Zeyan and Chief Supervisor Yan Tieying.
Luo Chuan said, "Tell me."
Mu Zeyan said yes, then straightened his body and said, "This matter is also about the two newly acquired lands of Sancang and Anling. Since the Lijun went north last winter, I have been stationed in Lijun. When the political officials went there, a large number of complaints were submitted about the old political officials. Among them, if the evidence was conclusive, the main culprit had not yet been brought to justice. For now, there were more than 100 cases where the main culprit was already in the prison of Woli County. Because the old political officials were involved, The trial requires the cooperation of the Supervisory Office, but due to the long-term poor health of the Chief Supervisor, Mr. Yan, many important cases cannot be delayed until now, causing public resentment. I believe that the Chief Supervisor is an important and irreplaceable minister. Master Yan is already old, and if he can't stand the hard work, he can choose another young and virtuous person to entrust him to him!"
When Mu Zeyan said these words, not only the officials in the supervisory office were immediately filled with indignation, but also the officials affiliated with his department were stunned and speechless.
The remaining officials in the civil and military ranks in the court also exploded, and there was a lot of discussion and noise.
Soon, Chu Sheng, the supervisory adjutant with gray beard and hair, came out, pointed at Mu Zeyan's nose and said angrily, "Mu Zeyan, you dare to criticize your colleagues in front of the prefect, and wantonly frame them. What are your intentions?!"
He was in tears and looked miserable. When the noise in the palace died down, he saluted Luochuan and complained, "Master Taishou, there are nine big cities in Sancang and Anling. Most of the culprits mentioned by Master Mu are from the old days." Although the officials of Yongchang and Anling counties are now under the jurisdiction of Ili County, these people were not supervised by the Supervisory Office of Ili County when they committed the crime. Now it is obvious that the Silu Office is slow to review the case and cannot handle it in time, but To blame it on my supervisory office is really... really... really shameless!!"
While Chu Sheng stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, he looked at Yan Tieying, who was ranked sixth among the civil servants. Seeing that he was standing very firmly without any intention of defending himself, he turned to look at the person next to him. The two lieutenants of the government office who were standing next to each other exchanged eyebrows, but unexpectedly did not receive any response, and they were suddenly shocked.
The superior, Luo Chuan, finally spoke at this time and asked, "What Mr. Chu said makes sense, but since the land of Sancang and Anling are now under the jurisdiction of my Lijun, everything must be done according to the rules of my Lijun. , so to speak, is there any problem with what Mr. Mu said that the supervision office needs to cooperate when trying the case?"
Chu Sheng was already covered in cold sweat. Hearing this, he looked at Yan Tieying's back and said, "Yes, yes, no, no, Lord Prefect, Lord Yan is a great monk in the Sixth Realm. His physical strength is even better than I don’t know how many young people can be in poor health for a long time as Master Mu said. This matter is really ridiculous. Someone must be framing me to supervise the government office. Please be aware of the details!!"
While Chu Sheng was talking, tears were streaming down his face, and he knelt down tremblingly on the ground, kowtowing.
When he made such a fuss, the scene suddenly became a little chaotic.
Zhou Zhongqing, the chief officer of the civil service department, who was standing second in the civil servants sequence, suddenly tilted his head at this time. A middle-aged man with a beautiful beard in the middle of the civil servants sequence slowly came out, but it was Adjutant Sihu. , Sun Tairen saw him bowing in the direction of Luochuan, and then said slowly, "I would like to report to the Grand Administrator, I think what Master Chu said is inappropriate."
After saying this sentence, there was silence in the hall for an instant.
Yan Tieying, who remained motionless, lowered his head slightly, frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly.
In front of Yan Tieying, Chen Yu, the chief agricultural officer, couldn't help but turn around slightly and exchanged a look with Xie Wushang, the chief treasurer. Moving forward, Gongsun Runze, the chief officer of the household division, also looked back at Sun Tairen.
only
Dou Qiushi, the county magistrate who ranked first in the list of civil servants, and Zhou Zhongqing, the chief official who followed him, each looked like they were very present, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
Looking up, Luo Chuan took in everything and asked solemnly, "What's wrong?"
After hearing this, Sun Tairen quickly said, "Reporting to the Governor, according to the rules of Li County, the trial officials do need the assistance of the Supervisory Office. If the trial officials are of higher rank, they need to be personally escorted by the Supervisory Officer. So what Master Mu said is true. No problem, as for how the Chief Supervisor Yan is doing, I just want to say, if Master Yan is fine as Master Chu said, then why don’t you do what the Chief Supervisor should do?”
Seeing that Chu Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to get up to argue again, he took the first step and asked and answered loudly, "Master Yan is loyal to the prefect, and everyone knows this! So from what I saw, Master Yan may indeed be ill." , unable to support the supervision of government affairs."
Chu Sheng was shocked when he heard this. He stared at Sun Tairen in disbelief with his eyes. Then he turned back to look at the backs of Yan Tieying and Zhou Zhongqing. Their already old bodies seemed to have aged ten years again. He lowered his head and no longer Talk a lot.
Above the court hall, there was deathly silence.
Luo Chuan's eyes swept across the audience, and finally fell on Yan Tieying. He asked lightly, "Master Yan, they all said that you are ill. Is that true?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Yan Tieying. Yan Tieying was silent for a moment, then slowly stepped out of the queue, bowed and said, "Reporting to the Grand Administrator, I... am indeed slightly ill."
This time, the noise in the court hall was deliberately suppressed to the limit by everyone, but it was still humming.
Luochuan glanced to his side. Gao Shixian, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and shouted in a sharp voice, "Quiet!"
There was sudden silence in the hall.
Luo Chuan said with some emotion, "So it's really the case. It's my fault. I've been running around here and there this year and ignored the situation of Mr. Yan's family..." He suddenly looked at the county prime minister Dou Qiushi and asked, " Does Mr. Dou know about Mr. Yan’s family?”
Dou Qiushi went out to salute and said, "Reporting to the Grand Administrator, I only heard about this recently. I'm really sorry."
Luo Chuan nodded and said with great regret, "Master Yan and his family are loyal and patriotic. Since I came to the throne, they have been very helpful in the stability of the court and local governance. Now that I am ill, how do you think Master Dou should deal with it?"
Dou Qiushi said straightforwardly, "Despite Master Yan's profound cultivation, it is difficult to suppress this disease. I am afraid that it cannot be left idle. If he is forced to be burdened by the supervising government office, and the condition worsens, it will not be beautiful. It is better to leave it to the governor." It would be most appropriate to allow him to return to his hometown to recuperate, and then select someone to temporarily oversee the government affairs..."
