Until the results of the reexamination come out, these two officials will stay with Xia Han.
This was a rule, and Xia Han, who had an excellent attitude and demeanor from beginning to end, didn't seem to mind.
Looking at the clean and elegant figure who stepped out of the lobby, Xu Ying clenched and unclenched her fingers.
News of the end of the trial spread quickly.
After fermenting all night, it became the most talked about topic in the city the next day.
Now everyone knows that the girl who was rescued yesterday could not produce any really useful evidence in court - instead, Mr. Zhan, who had just been promoted to the position of doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs not long ago, confessed his crime in court under all kinds of irrefutable evidence.
.
Ordinarily, with such a result, the case should be closed, but Miss Xu still refused to change her story and insisted on identifying the person who harmed her as Mr. Xia.
The government can only wait five days before conducting a review.
Having said that, the direction of public opinion in the city has been roughly reversed.
But it is destined to be only rough.
Even with the Xia family's deliberate fueling of the situation, the impact of this public opinion on Xia Han and the Xia family could not be truly eliminated in a short period of time.
Not to mention those officials and officials who have twisted minds.
When an official's son commits a crime, in order to eliminate the impact, he chooses to let others take the blame - which is not an unusual thing in this circle.
Xia Tingzhen didn't care much about what her colleagues thought.
To him, they were just a group of villains who only dared to gossip and make small moves in secret.
But there was one person whose attitude he had to care about.
After the morning session this morning, the emperor summoned him to the royal study alone and asked him about the matter. This matter caused a huge fuss. Although the emperor was not very angry about Long Yan, he was not very happy either.
I gave him a beating in order to get him to calm down the matter as soon as possible.
He is a close minister of the Emperor and is highly valued by His Majesty. In some respects, the views of the people and officials towards him also represent the views towards the imperial court and even towards the Emperor.
Not long after the founding of Daqing, the world was not very stable. The emperor had worked hard over the years to be a wise king in the eyes of the people, and he could not see anyone holding him back.
After Xia Tingzhen returned from the palace, she just changed out of her official uniform and summoned her staff to the study to discuss matters.
Although the situation is currently under control, follow-up responses should not be taken carelessly.
Especially the real manipulator behind this matter must be found out as soon as possible to avoid future trouble——
…
As it was getting late, a seemingly inconspicuous carriage stopped at the back gate of the government office.
A maid got out of the carriage and whispered a few words to the official guarding the back door.
The officer glanced at the carriage, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned around and entered the courtyard.
He first reported the matter to Ji Dong.
After hearing this, Ji Dong thought for a moment and nodded.
Miss Xu is the plaintiff, and she is allowed to live in the back office to ensure her safety, rather than to be guarded like a prisoner and not allowed to see anyone.
As for the other party's intention, he could roughly guess a little bit...
Things in this world do not necessarily have to go all the way to the dark side. If you can take a step back when you know you cannot do anything, it is also a right choice in a practical sense.
Official reputations are all judged by outsiders, and he does not consider himself to be a good official who truly makes decisions for the people. What he has always upheld is to act within his capabilities and act in accordance with the rules.
After all, he couldn't use much strength and selfishness outside of the rules.
After all, he has to survive and support his family.
What's more, as the prince of the country, my friend is known to be cautious and hide his clumsiness. He always likes to pretend to be coward in front of others. Even in recent years, he has become really coward after seeing the pretense. Both internally and externally, he has become more and more tactful.
Two words...
In comparison, with his condition - a mere boy from a poor family who relied on the imperial examination to get ahead, there is no reason to show off his strength in times of trouble.
If you don't even have to be an official, you won't be able to do what you can for the people.
This time he is responsible for hearing the case, and the pressure on his head is not small...
I have scolded Xicheng Bingma Division countless times behind my back.
Now, it depends on what Miss Xu will choose.
The woman's stubborn and resolute face flashed before his eyes, and Ji Dong suddenly felt that there was little hope.
With a silent sigh, Mr. Ji turned and returned to the study.
Xu Ying was placed in a separate small courtyard at the back office.
At this time, she had just finished drinking the medicine, handed the medicine bowl into the hands of a woman, and said politely: "Thank you, sister."
The mother-in-law sighed in her heart and left.
She felt that Miss Xu was not crazy at all.
What’s so crazy are those dogs who take advantage of their family power to do evil and randomly take the blame for others.
After a while, the mother-in-law came back and said to Xu Ying: "Miss Xu, someone just came to send a message, saying that... the second young lady of the Xia family wants to see you."
Xu Ying frowned subconsciously.
She wanted to say "no".
After all, it is not difficult to guess Lu's purpose of coming, and she has no intention of wasting time with the other party.
But she still nodded.
"Then let's meet."
Maybe we can get some useful clues from Lu's mouth...
"Miss Xu, please be careful..." The mother-in-law hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but vaguely remind her: "This second young lady of the Xia family is pregnant. I heard that she just had fetal contractions a few days ago."
She is in the Yamen, what weird cases and exciting gossips have she not heard of?
Xu Ying was stunned for a while before she realized what the other person meant.
She couldn't help but laugh. Although she felt that the other party was too unfounded and worried, as if it was the sequelae of too much gossip, she still said seriously: "Thank you, eldest sister, for reminding me."
Some good intentions may not be useful, but they will definitely make people feel better.
Lu, the second young mistress of the Xia family, came over soon with her maid.
Xu Ying had no intention of inviting her into the room, and the two of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.
"I wonder why Miss Xia Er came here this time?" Xu Ying asked calmly.
"I have met Miss Xu several times and know that Miss Xu is a smart person." Ms. Lu said as kindly as possible: "I want to show Miss Xu a way."
"Appreciate further details."
Seeing that Xu Ying was still cooperative, Lu became more confident.
It seems that the other party calmed down and recognized the reality.
Lu took out an envelope from her sleeve, placed it on the stone table, and slowly pushed it towards Xu Ying.
"The banknotes here are enough for Miss Xu to live well for the rest of her life."
Xu Ying glanced at the envelope and asked noncommittally, "Is this what Xia Han meant?"
"Of course not." Lu said: "Zhan Qian has already pleaded guilty. This matter was not done by my second master. Naturally, he would not agree with me using this method to solve the problem. Therefore, this is just my own opinion. Same.
Woman, I won’t say many things, but Miss Xu should know how to choose.”
Xu Ying looked at her.
"Since you trust him so much, why did you make this trip? Are you still afraid that the government will wrongly accuse him? Or - you also noticed that this seemingly perfect husband of yours has an ulterior side?"
Madam Lu tightened her sleeves slightly.
Xu Ying saw her reaction in his eyes and asked again: "I wonder, Miss Xia Er, have you ever heard of the name Xu Su?"
