Mrs. Chen turned her head slowly.
When he saw her, Gao Ping couldn't help but feel a little pity for her - because she cried so hard, Mrs. Chen's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked particularly pitiful. In addition, she was now in mourning and holding her husband's tablet in her hands.
He sighed: "Mrs. Chen, please get up first."
Mrs. Chen shook her head firmly, carefully placed the tablet in her hand on the empty space beside her, then supported herself with both hands and kowtowed three times to Gao Ping. Although her voice was hoarse, she shouted loudly: "Please, sir, do justice for me and give justice to my husband!"
Seeing how pitiful and miserable she was, the people could no longer bear it and they all started to agree with her.
"Please help them!"
"The wife of an official has been forced to this point. How pitiful! Will the court do anything about it?"
Gao Ping's expression remained unchanged, and his voice remained steady: "Whatever grievance Madam Chen has, since it has come to our Ministry of Justice, we will naturally investigate impartially. Madam Chen, there is really no need to do this. You'd better get up quickly. If you have anything to say, you should go to the government office first, how about that?"
Mrs. Chen's case has now caused a sensation in the capital, and her goal has been achieved - with such great attention, anyone who dares to ignore her case or secretly make trouble for her will be afraid that his official career will be almost over - the people are indeed nothing, but it is difficult to offend the public anger, and with so many people gathered together, the power is astonishing. Officials also have to pay attention to their reputation and influence.
When he thought of this, he became more alert and clear-headed.
Mrs. Chen was choking with sobs and kowtowed several times before she cried, "Please, sir, help me! My husband, Chen Chong, the magistrate of Xiangtan County, was retaliated against because he refused to go along with others. Our daughter was kidnapped and killed. My husband wrote a petition to file a complaint to seek justice for our daughter, but the petition was intercepted halfway, so my husband died with hatred! In this bright and peaceful world, there are still such thieves who cover up everything and even want to kill our family after my husband's death... Please, sir, help us!"
Most of the onlookers had followed Madam Chen here from Zhengyang Street, and they knew that Madam Chen had been deeply wronged, but it was still beyond their expectations that she could be so tragic. When they heard that even the magistrate's daughter could be abducted and killed, many people couldn't help but gasp.
Looking at Mrs. Chen, who was so frail and crying like a pear blossom in the rain, how could they hold back their anger? They were all filled with righteous indignation and shouted to ask Mr. Gao to make a decision for this poor lady.
At this moment, if Gao Ping said no, the onlookers would rush over and eat him alive.
He knew it very well, but he didn't say anything more. After all, if it was really as Mrs. Chen said, then this case would be a very serious one.
This case made a sensation in the whole city, and even Qiu Wei's popularity was overshadowed for a while. Now, when visiting other people's homes, everyone would talk about the Chen family's case. It was simply impossible to go out and socialize and talk to others.
Even in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion, when Madam Wang came over to pay her respects to Old Madam Su, she slowly turned her head to Madam Chen.
