"Wait, I have objections."
A lazy voice sounded in the court. The voice was not loud, but it was extremely eye-catching in the court.
At the beginning, Zhao Daying said he had no objection, which was expected by everyone. If Zhao Daying said he had objection, he would have been kicked in the head by a donkey. It was such a blessing that his uncle was the presiding judge.
Later, Zhu Ping'an said he had no objection, which was somewhat unexpected to everyone, but it was something that Zhao Daying and others welcomed. They had thought that if Zhu Ping'an raised an objection, it would take more time to talk, but since Zhu Ping'an was so tactful and said he had no objection, everyone was happy.
Well begun is half done.
After hearing Zhu Ping'an say that he had no objection, the corners of Zhao Daying, Zhao Qiu, Wang Xueyi and others' mouths were already half curled up, and they couldn't help but burst into smiles.
However, just when Zhao Daying and the others were relaxing, the smile on his face was only halfway open when he heard such a lazy voice, "Wait, I have an objection."
This sentence was like a whistling slap in the face. Zhao Daying and others lost their smiles, their faces were even distorted!
Who is it? !
Who is the blind person who shouted that
You have an objection? What objection do you have? Who are you?! What qualifications do you have?!
Damn it, the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is. The person involved, Zhao Daying, did not raise any objections, and even Zhu Pingan did not raise any objections. Who raised the objections? What are you shouting about? Who the hell are you? Why are you so concerned about other people's business? You are meddling in other people's business!
Don't you know how important this case is? Behind this case is the old man Yan Song! Are you really that brave to make trouble here
This is going to cause trouble!
"Who shouted? Disturbing the public..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiu in the court turned around with a gloomy face and looked towards the source of the voice with murderous eyes.
Wang Xueyi, Zhao Daying and others in the court also turned around angrily to see which blind person had raised an objection.
Prepare to teach a severe lesson.
However, when they turned around, their eyes were wide open, their mouths half open, and they looked confused. The words in their mouths were suddenly silenced. Zhao Qiu shouted half a sentence of "disturbing the court" but swallowed it back into his stomach. He was so depressed that he almost rolled his eyes.
The others didn't say anything and kept their words in their stomachs.
In their sight, they saw a fat, one-eyed man, who was squinting his eyes and smiling, looking at them nonchalantly.
That nonchalant look was full of arrogance and domineering feelings.
Obviously, he was the one who shouted out the objection just now.
"I shouted, so what? Is it not okay?" The one-eyed fat man narrowed his eyes and asked Zhao Qiu and others in the court with a half-smile.
"Yes, yes... yes, of course, Lord Yan." Zhao Qiu was stunned for a moment, then swallowed and replied.
The one-eyed fat man was very recognizable. Everyone present knew him. He was Master Yan Shifan, the son of the powerful Yan Song. Even if Zhao Qiu had ten times the courage, he would not dare to accuse Yan Shifan of disrupting the court.
"Of course." Wang Xueyi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, and others also responded.
but
My Master Yan, what are you going to do now
Zhao Qiu, Wang Xueyi and others were all confused and didn't understand why Yan Shifan expressed his objection.
If Zhu Ping'an had objections to the five presiding judges in the court, they would all understand, but why did Lord Yan Shifan raise such objections
Zhao Qiu is on our side, as is Wang Xueyi. Takumi has also been confirmed, and we've communicated with Jinyiwei commander Lord Lu Binglu, so there's no problem.
Could it be that Master Yan had objections to the presiding judge Wan Gong of the Dali Temple or Wang Gao of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Did he want to nip these two destabilizing factors in the bud
There is no need for that and it is not easy to do. Wan Gong is the representative of the neutral faction; Wang Gao is from Li Mo's faction; there are three people in my faction, one from the neutral faction and one from Li Mo's faction. This is the consensus reached by the three forces.
No matter how you look at it, our faction is in the absolute majority, so there's no need for that.
If we push the Li Party or the neutral party too hard, it might backfire, right
After thinking about it, Zhao Qiu, Wang Xueyi and others still couldn't understand why Yan Shifan would raise objections. They simply couldn't figure it out.
In fact, not only them, even Zhu Ping'an was confused and couldn't understand why Yan Shifan would raise objections.
"Is it possible?" Yan Shifan smiled slightly.
"Of course, of course." Zhao Qiu and others naturally would not have any objection.
"Then come down." Yan Shifan lazily stretched out his bear-like claws and pointed at Zhao Qiu in the court.
What
Wang Xueyi and others almost popped their eyes out when they saw this.
"Me?" Zhao Qiu looked around, then looked at Yan Shifan, and pointed at himself with an incredulous look on his face.
"Yes, it's you, Lord Zhao. Come down and don't stand there." Yan Shifan nodded with a smile.
Why
Mr. Yan, did you take the wrong medicine
Zhao Qiu and others couldn't help but want to ask Yan Shifan.
"Minister Zhao, you must recognize Zhao Daying here in the court. He is your nephew. Your nephew has been impeached, and it is inappropriate for you, his uncle, to preside over the trial in court. Shouldn't you recuse yourself?" Yan Shifan shook his head and said seriously.
Well
Master Yan, are you sure you didn't take the wrong medicine? ! Who are you in league with? ! This is what Zhu Pingan wanted to do but didn't do! You did it as soon as you opened your mouth.
My Master Yan, what are you doing?! This isn't the time to sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice, is it?!
Zhao Daying and others began to doubt their lives.
Especially Zhao Qiu who was in the court. He was not in the right position to be on top, but he was unwilling to step down. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old man in his forties or fifties all blushed and looked at Yan Shifan in a daze.
"Come down, Lord Zhao. I have a seat available. Originally, I, Yan Shifan, was supposed to be the chief judge, but I didn't agree. Zhao Daying performed well in the Gengxu Rebellion last year and made military achievements. My father wrote a memorial to ask for his merit. Besides, Zhao Daying and I have a good relationship in private and have had drinks with each other several times. With these relationships, I have to step aside."
"So, Lord Zhao, you should also step aside. Your Ministry of War's Right Vice Minister, Lord Zhang Gu, is here, so let him preside over the trial for you."
Yan Shifan patted the empty seat next to him and spoke seriously.
Depend on
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but curse in his heart. It was indeed Yan Shifan. His scheming was truly the best in the world.
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of a joke: a certain unit was competing for a job, and it was a beautiful woman's turn to give a speech. One of the interviewers suddenly stood up and said, "This is my relative, I should step aside," and then left the venue. Afterwards, his daughter was successfully promoted.
Damn, Yan Shifan is like the interviewer leader in the joke, and Zhao Daying is the beautiful interviewee. After Yan Shifan's actions, everyone on and off the stage knows the relationship between Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Zhao Qiu and Zhao Daying. Yan Shifan has made it clear directly, so now everyone, whether it is the chief judge, the auditor, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, etc., knows what to do.
Moreover, Zhang Gu, the right vice minister of the Ministry of War, is also an out-and-out member of the Yan Party!
Replacing Zhao Qiu with Zhang Gu is like replacing the left hand with the right hand, there is no effect at all. They are both a pair of hands, and their hearts are leaning towards Zhao Daying!
