C673 Officials Have to Make Decisions for the People
C673 Officials Have to Make Decisions for the People
They actually stopped the sedan to file a complaint, and even stopped the present Holy Emperor's carriage! At that time, those who knew about this matter were scared silly because even though there was this rule, but for so many years, there had never been anyone who dared to stop the divine carriage from reporting!
What kind of existence was the Holy Emperor? It was a high and mighty existence, a high and mighty existence. He could ignore the affairs of those minor officials, but he had to interfere in the affairs of the ordinary people!
After all, this was Truth Sacred Dynasty, a country, and a place with laws. It was not those families and sects. If he wanted to maintain his rule, there was still a fair and legal system on the surface!
Therefore, the Emperor personally ordered the Three Divisions to hold a hearing and let the Blue Bird Guard supervise. He had to close the case in the shortest time possible and give an explanation to the common people in the world.
But the problem was here. This Fong Zhishui was not a simple figure. Or rather, he had a powerful backer behind him. Even if he could not compare to Fang Gan, the uncle of a small country, he was still a top second-generation ancestor.
Fong Zhishui's father was none other than the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice was his father's sworn brother, which was also his uncle. The head of the Metropolis Court, Censor of Supervision, was also his grandfather!
It could be said that the Three Law Sets of Truth Sacred Dynasty were practically owned by Fong Zhishui's family!
The Three Law Systems Interrogation? You want his father to interrogate his son, grandfather to interrogate his grandson, and uncle to interrogate his nephew? Is that possible?
Therefore, it was really difficult for Commander Gu to get involved in the Blue Bird Guard at that time. Although he wasn't afraid of them, they were a family. The roots of the tree were deep, and if they joined forces, it would really make him feel uncomfortable.
Auxiliary Duke's eyes lit up. "This is a good idea, wonderful, really wonderful! If the case is handled well, those old ghosts from the Three Magistrates Division will definitely seek revenge crazily! If the case is not handled well, the Emperor will not spare him either!"
" And you are his Shangguan, directly assigning him to do this matter, it is reasonable and lawful! This time, let's see if this Wang Ziqi will die or not! "
The three big shots discussed it in the Imperial Palace. Soon, Commander Gu found Ji Chen in the two guards' offices and gave him the task. Ji Chen also attached great importance to this task. He immediately called Lau Wuheng and Hsu Yanzhi over to discuss it.
After knowing the whole story, Lau Wuheng's expression became incomparably solemn. He said to Ji Chen directly, "Lord Wang, it's obvious that this Right Commander is giving you trouble again!"
"It seems that you have offended him too much. This time, he wants to use someone else to kill you! This case was really difficult to handle. It would be fine if the one handling the case was a prince. But you have no foundation. You really can't win against him!"
Although Hsu Yanzhi was carefree, she still saw the situation very clearly. "If this case is not handled properly, you will die. If it is done well, you will also die. Lord Wang, it seems that you have fallen into a hopeless situation."
Lau Wuheng clenched his fists and suddenly said, "There is only one way to solve the problem. Hand over the position of commander. Leave the Blue Bird Guard and even abandon the official and leave the country! The world is so big. There will always be a place where Lord Wang can stand!"
" Wrong! Things are actually not that troublesome. The best way to solve the problem is to face the difficulties head on, using the strongest power to crush all schemes and plots! This is my principle! " Ji Chen said resolutely.
"What do you mean, my lord?" Lau Wuheng was confused. He didn't know what Ji Chen wanted to do.
"I don't want to say anything else. I only want to say one thing. An official must make the decision for the people! Fong Zhishui is crazy and has committed many crimes. This time, I am going to get rid of the evil for the people!"
Ji Chen stood up and a wave of righteous energy surged up. His words were loud and clear. "I don't care about the Three Law Systems, Auxiliary Duke, and Commander Gu. I am going to take care of this case!"
In a shed area in the west of Truth Sacred Dynasty, there were sewers and garbage everywhere. The place reeked. There were beggars, madmen, and refugees living here. It was a dark place in the Imperial City.
The smell was so bad that there were feces and bones everywhere. Wild dogs were running around with red eyes. They were eating the meat of those dead bodies in the dark. Their teeth were red and their meridians were full of blood. It made people's hair stand on end.
At the edge of the shed area, in a shed supported by a broken mat. Although they were wearing ragged clothes, they were completely different from the unkempt refugees here.
One of the two women looked to be in her thirties or forties, while the other looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Their expressions were incomparably firm, and they had a kind of courage and persistence that did not fear death.
The woman suddenly coughed violently. She opened her mouth and coughed out blood. Clearly, her body was not in good condition, and she was sick.
"Mother, your body and bones are not good. This time, let your daughter go. You just have to wait at home for the news." The yellow-skinned, skinny girl said with a heartache.
"Home? Where do we have a home?" The woman said with hatred, "If I don't kill that bastard Fong Zhishui and avenge our family of 187 people, I won't be able to rest for a day!"
"I heard that Blue Bird Guard sent a commander surnamed Wang to supervise the case! Although he didn't know if they would protect each other, as long as there was hope... I have to give it a try, even if I have to kneel until my knees break. I want justice! "
The girl supported the woman as she staggered forward on the muddy ground. The zombies around her looked at them mockingly, as if they were admiring the ants that shook the trees!
The two of them did not care and just lowered their heads to continue their journey. At this moment, a large group of dense voices sounded in the distance. Frightened shouts came from the distance, and the group of refugees and beggars who were watching the show immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
The two of them subconsciously looked up and saw a group of hundreds of people in front of them. These people were dressed luxuriously and brightly. They were dressed in blue phoenix clothes and had a saber hanging from their waists. They were filled with killing intent and their blood was overflowing!
At the front was a middle-aged man with a beard. His clothes were embroidered with golden threads and he had a ferocious tiger that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It was the Blue Bird Guard Zuo Tongtong, who had been sent by Ji Chen to bring the poor man back.
Lau Wuheng had a portrait of the two victims, so he found them immediately. However, he still asked, "Are the two of you the victims of Fong Zhishui's sect, the victims of the Sun family?"
"That's right, it's us!" Sun family was once a small family, so they knew these people were from the Blue Bird Guard. Madam Sun asked, "Masters, are you here to silence us?"
"How dare you!" Lau Wuheng raised his eyebrows. "My family's people's hearts are tied to the common people, and I want to stand up for you. I didn't expect you to be so crafty and want to slander my master!"
"Stand up for us, orphans and widows? Do you dare to ask if this is true? " Madam Sun was overjoyed, but she still asked in disbelief.
"What kind of status does our family's Lord have? Go out and inquire about the Lord Commander of the Blue Bird Guard. Is there a need to lie to someone so important that so many people suck up to him? Hurry up and come with us!"
Lau Wuheng took action very quickly. He immediately took Madam Sun and Miss Sun away and protected them within the Blue Bird Guard.
Although this case had entered the Holy Emperor's field of vision, and the Feng family did not dare to secretly kill them, once the case reached a point of no return, it was possible that the other party would do anything to them.
After all, if they bribed some of the pirates or sent out men of sacrifice, even if they were to offend the Emperor, they would still kill them. After all, the Holy Emperor had to give them some face. Without the victim, they probably wouldn't investigate further.
At this time, Ji Chen himself, along with Hsu Yanzhi and 300 Blue Bird Guard, had already swaggered into the Court of Judicial Review!
Even in normal times, the Court of Judicial Review wouldn't dare to offend the Blue Bird Guard, let alone now that Ji Chen had received the Emperor's Imperial Decree to supervise this case. Even the Tribunal of Judicial Review had to be restrained by him, and it wasn't a big deal for him to bring the criminal to trial.
"I didn't know that Commander Wang had come. I didn't welcome you from afar. Lord Wang, please forgive me!" A third grade warrior dressed in a purple robe walked out.
This man was a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with a big beard. At this moment, he walked over with a smile on his face. He was the Court of Judicial Review's official. "Lord Wang, I have prepared food and drinks. I hope Lord Wang will reward me!"
Ji Chen glanced at the Court of Judicial Review. Although he was a True third grade official, the Court of Judicial Review was one of the Nine Ministers. He was almost as powerful as the Six Ministers of Justice.
However, his high position could not be compared to the authority of the Blue Bird Guard. The power of the Emperor was granted, and the execution was to be executed first before reporting. Therefore, Wang Ziqi could not give him any face. Furthermore, who didn't know about the relationship between this fellow and Fong Zhishui? What was the point of trying to get close to him?
Ji Chen had a faint smile on his face as he said to the other party, "Lord Shangguan, you are too polite. I am not here to drink and eat meat, but to bring a criminal for trial."
"If you really want to talk about the feast, after the trial is over, I will punish myself by drinking three cups of wine at the celebration banquet. How about that?"
As Ji Chen spoke, he waved his hand. Hsu Yanzhi sneered and rushed in with three hundred Blue Bird Guards, directly taking over the Imperial Prison of the Court of Judicial Review.
Seeing how Ji Chen did not give face, the Court of Judicial Review indeed had a stomach full of anger, but he really had such power and guts. He had no choice!

"I never thought that Lord Wang would be so passionate about work when he just arrived. Truly admirable." The Court of Judicial Review's voice became cold. "Come, I'll lead the way for you!"
The Court of Judicial Review was not a kind person. What he said just now was a threat to Ji Chen. He said that a little brat like you had no backing and that it was best not to go against him. Otherwise, you would die a horrible death.
However, Ji Chen did not care about that at all. He waved his hand and stopped the Court of Judicial Review behind him. "Lord Shangguan, as the official appointed by the Imperial Court, you have to share the burden of the Monarch and help the people!"
"This time, I am supervising this case. I only feel that the burden on my shoulders is very heavy, so of course I have to do my best to investigate! Lord Shangguan, this time, I want to see the criminal alone. Lord, you should not follow me anymore."
The Court of Judicial Review's face was gloomy and he almost acted up, but in the end, he swallowed his anger and did not even have the last bit of sneer on his face. "Alright, Lord Wang, please do as you wish! Humph!"
Ji Chen ignored him and directly walked into the prison. The Imperial Prison of the Court of Judicial Review was also dark and damp, and there was a musty smell coming from it. The stench made people nauseous.
Ji Chen only felt a little better after he closed his breath. However, when he came to the cell where Fong Zhishui was imprisoned, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. It was a little subversive to what he knew.
Different from the previous cells, Fong Zhishui's place was specially customized. Not only was it neat and tidy, it was also decorated beautifully. It gave people a sense of extravagance.
At this moment, Fong Zhishui was drinking wine and eating side dishes. There were also four beautiful women who gave him a lap pillow, massage his legs, massage his shoulders, and feeding him food. He really enjoyed it very much!
