Li Gang pointed at the kneeling old man Jin and said, "I am here today to redress the injustice done to this old man Jin."
Xu Bingzhe seemed to have anticipated this: "Sir Li, I have already investigated. Jin Cuilian committed suicide. This Jin Laoer was unreasonable and even caused a disturbance in the court. I have punished him."
Li Gang laughed heartily. "Xu Bingzhe, you're so good! You said Jin Cuilian committed suicide. Do you have any evidence?"
Xu Bingzhe said: "Of course there is. There is a weapon left at the scene, and Jin Cuilian's fingerprints are on the weapon. It's not suicide or something else!"
Li Gang looked at him coldly: "Then please let me see the body, Master Xu."
Xu Bingzhe slammed the gavel and said, "Lord Li Gang, the trial and handling of this case is the responsibility of Kaifeng Prefecture. Lord Li may be in a high position and have great power, but it seems that this case is not under Lord Li's jurisdiction."
Li Gang raised his head proudly and clasped his fists. "Jin Cui Lian had no motive for suicide, but I'm afraid the matter is more complicated than that. I simply wish to see the body. If Lord Xu refuses, then I will report this to the Emperor and request a thorough investigation."
Xu Bingzhe was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly smiled: "Your Majesty works day and night, how can you trouble your Majesty with such a trivial matter? Since Lord Li insists on seeing the body, I will take you there."
PS: I've been writing for a while now, and I've been steadily updating two chapters a day. My other book, Sheng Han, is now available. The free chapters for Sheng Han are poorly written, so the plot has been revised. It's a completely separate story now that it's available. If you're interested, feel free to start with the VIP chapters. Thank you.
I couldn't have survived until now without the support of you, my readers. Thank you so much.
