Chapter 65: Worthy of being the one under the protection of the tyrant
The gavel was banged, and the courtroom suddenly fell silent.
Jiang Ruo straightened his back and looked suddenly at Chu Wenqian who had a sullen look on his face.
"Sir, please explain the origins of these stolen goods in front of the people of Shengzhou City."
"Don't try to exonerate yourself!"
Chu Wenqian looked at Jiang Ruo who was questioning him and decided to fight back.
So, he said unwillingly, "Jiang Ruo, Xiao Chengjin has now been demoted to a commoner, and you are not the high and mighty Princess An..."
"You're so smart, I'm sure you understand... the principle of not getting involved in matters that don't concern you."
Jiang Ruo instantly became energetic after hearing what Chu Wenqian said.
This guy was implying that she was meddling in other people's business.
She also laughed at her "big thigh" being demoted.
"I, Jiang Ruo, naturally understand what the prefect means, but..."
Changing the subject, Jiang Ruo said in a sharp tone, "I, Jiang Ruo, will take care of this matter."
Chu Wenqian looked at the stubborn Jiang Ruo and pointed at her angrily: "You..."
Jiang Ruo directly ignored Chu Wenqian and said to An Yi: "Go ask the people outside if Lord Chu has ever encountered any injustice during his tenure."
"If you have encountered this, you can come to the court and confront the prefect face to face."
An Yi immediately clasped his fists and retreated.
Chu Wenqian thought secretly: Even if they have suffered injustice, so what?
I don't think those cowardly people would dare to come to the court to confront him in person.
The atmosphere in the court was somewhat subtle.
About a quarter of an hour later.
A gray-haired woman, trembling with a cane, walked into the courtroom...
She looked at Chu Wenqian with resentment and knelt on the ground.
She didn't yell, but said calmly, "Since it's the late emperor who appeared in Shengzhou City, it's a blessing for the people of Shengzhou City."
"Today, I will confess all the injustices I have suffered." Her voice was a little hoarse, and her whole body revealed a sense of vicissitudes.
It’s not that I don’t want to take revenge, it’s just that the time has not come yet.
Fortunately, she had waited for this day.
Chu Wenqian's eyelids twitched when he saw the familiar face.
Why is this shrew still in Shengzhou City?
Jiang Ruo looked at the woman who looked like a walking corpse, and quickly got up and went downstairs.
"Auntie, please stand up quickly."
Upon hearing this, the woman did not refuse and stood up directly.
Jiang Ruo noticed the woman's trembling body and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to be afraid of him. He has done many bad things and will be punished."
The woman glanced at Chu Wenqian hatefully, gnashing her teeth and slowly saying, "On the day of my son's wedding, a bully broke into my house..."
"It was him...who ruled the case an accidental injury and ordered her to pay him ten taels of silver as compensation. That's two lives!"
"It's a pity that even after my daughter-in-law died, she still bore the stigma of being an unfaithful woman."
The court was very quiet.
After some people heard what the woman said.
I instantly recalled what happened two years ago...
It seems that... On the night of this woman's son's wedding, her daughter-in-law left with another man.
At that time, everyone was saying that her daughter-in-law was unfaithful and had eloped with someone.
Her son was so angry that he went to the house to snatch his wife away, but was accidentally beaten to death by the other party.
That night, her daughter-in-law, too ashamed to live, hanged herself at home...
So, her daughter-in-law did not elope with someone, but was forcibly taken away by the bully.
Ouch! What the hell!
The woman held back her grief and shed two tears after she finished speaking...
Jiang Ruo looked at Chu Wenqian angrily, her fingers crackling.
"Chu Wenqian, do you admit this matter?"
Chu Wenqian sneered, "So what if I admit it, and so what if I don't..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by An Yi.
He dared to disrespect his master and was fed up with living.
Chu Wenqian, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment after being kicked.
This kind of situation has never happened even in the capital.
Why am I being bullied here?
At this moment, someone outside shouted, "Such a disaster has never happened during Lord Yun's tenure."
"Yes, Lord Yun is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people."
"We will jointly submit a petition to the court, requesting that Lord Yun return to his post."
.......
An Er hurriedly parked the carriage not far from the government office.
Looking at the two pale-faced people in the carriage, he scratched his head embarrassedly.
Uh, we were a little too hurried.
An Er helped Yun Zhongan aside and briefly explained the whole story...
Yun Zhongan was shocked at first, but he quickly accepted it after hearing it.
He muttered to himself: I didn't expect that Princess An has such a strong sense of justice.
Well, it sounds like her personality... seems different from that of her pretentiously noble father.
This kind of personality must be inherited from the Nangong family.
When An Er saw that the matter was settled, he called the two of them to go to the government office.
Before the three of them even got close to the government office, they heard the people's passionate words...
Looking at the familiar government office and listening to the words of the common people, Yun Zhongan was immediately moved to tears.
Hey, he was just doing his job, how could he deserve the praise from the people?
Besides, he was demoted because of his "poor political performance".
For him, protecting the people of one side is his duty, and it has nothing to do with his official rank.
In fact, he had also heard about some things in Shengzhou City, but he was powerless to do anything.
"Master Yun, did you remember what I just told you?"
"We met... unexpectedly on the street ahead."
An Er looked at Yun Zhongan cautiously, afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag in front of his master.
Yun Zhongan rolled his eyes at An Er in displeasure, "I understand."
He was in a hurry to be reborn along the way, and his bones were almost broken.
Master Su even complained in his heart: Whose dog servant is this? He is so unreliable.
The speed was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
Well, luckily I landed safely.
In the court, with this woman taking the lead, several more victims entered the courtroom...
At this moment, someone behind him shouted, "Master Yun is here..."
The people turned around and looked back...
He is still wearing coarse cloth, isn't he the former prefect, Lord Yun?
When Jiang Ruo heard the three words "Lord Yun", she thought she was hallucinating.
When she saw the people's reactions, she felt secretly delighted.
Haha! The east wind is coming.
This luck... is unique.
He is worthy of being the one protected by the boss.
