What's going on?

The people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other when they saw Diao Nan, the master of the sub-patrol road, retreating from the hall in a hurry. This is only halfway through the trial, and it is clear that Han Meng'er is going to be sentenced to death, but in the end, it is anticlimactic?

Although they all guessed that it was related to the news brought by his servants, they couldn't figure out what kind of news made Lord Fen Patrol so out of shape?

Diao Nan didn't care about this, he stood up with a startled shot, and then hurriedly disappeared behind the screen of the crescent moon with his master and the scholar.

Hum!

Hu Niu looked at Diao Nan, the departing sub-patrol adult, snorted a little proudly, and then glanced at Han Meng'er again, her red face was full of pride.

Han Meng'er was still worried about what should happen to her?

As a result, Zhang Min stood up for her, and then Hu Niu openly confronted this Diao adult, and directly turned the tide, so that she avoided the execution, and now her whole person is in the clouds.

She had thought that things had taken a turn for the better, especially the tiger girl who was putting on this proud look, but she didn't dare to be too optimistic.

"Han Meng'er, don't worry! I'll get you out! Hu Niu saw that Han Meng'er was not happy, so she confidently said with confidence.

Han Meng'er looked up at her, but she was even more puzzled. Although she is very unfamiliar with the Ming officialdom, she already knows these days that the official rank of the Lord of the Patrol Road is higher than that of Hu Niu's brother.

Not to mention whether the tiger girl can say that she can move her brother, even if her brother is really willing to help her, but how can she win the battle to win the patrol adult?

The hall of the government is solemn and majestic.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a five-grade official uniform, sat upright in the hall, with a fair and honest plaque on his head, leaning against the sea crescent screen, looking at the prisoners in the hall, and his body exuded the majesty of the dignity of a mansion.

Twelve people dressed in official uniforms stood on both sides, all of them were burly and strong men, holding long sticks of water and fire, looking energetic, highlighting the majesty of the court.

Thanks to Lin Haoran's prestige now, after hearing that the Fuzun was going to open a public trial, the people of the whole city were moved by the wind and came to the side of the government one after another, surrounding the place.

At this time, in the public court, there was a richly dressed son-in-law, who was Diao Chaosheng, the son of Diao Nan of the Patrol Road.

"This man is really shameless!"

"Did you hear that? His father is a sub-patrol adult! ”

"So what! If you do such an act, you will be in chains for a month!"

……

The people in the hall seemed very excited, and they accused Diao Chaosheng who was kneeling in the hall, even if he was the son of the master of the sub-patrol road, they couldn't wait to spray saliva on his face.

At the same time, the scholar who found Diao Nan also told the story of Diao Chaosheng's crime as it was.

It turned out that Diao Chaosheng ran to the door of the joint workshop, and when he saw the female workers in the workshop coming out for lunch together, he untied his trouser belt and said frivolous words to the female workers.

This kind of behavior is indecent in any era, and it can even be beheaded. is also the same, after learning about this incident, Diao Nan did not dare to take it lightly.

"This brute!"

Diao Nan was so angry that he scolded this baby son, and naturally knew what kind of temperament this baby son was.

is very different from ordinary people, his son has a quirk and likes to expose his underside in public. Because of this quirk, there have been many troubles, and this is not the first time.

"Didn't I let him leave Leizhou Mansion?" Diao Nan knew that retrying Han Meng'er's case would inevitably make a bad deal with Lin Haoran, so he asked his son to leave this place of right and wrong temporarily.

It's just that it backfired, but his son ran to the door of the joint workshop to do such things, and directly gave people a handle. If that man does anything, I'm afraid his precious son will lose his head.

"The young master said that there is a beautiful girl in the joint workshop, and she refuses to leave this Leizhou City!" The scholar Diao San lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

Diao Nan's brows furrowed, this is undoubtedly very in line with his son's temperament, and he can't walk at all when he meets a beautiful woman. What's more, there are so many young female workers in this joint workshop, it is strange that he is willing to leave obediently.

It's just that now, he knows that the current problem is very tricky, and a careless handling can cause serious consequences.

The most serious thing is that the Ming officialdom has an implication system. If his son really committed something, then let alone being promoted to Guangdong to be sentenced and prosecuted, I am afraid that his current position will not be stable.

Diao Nan took his master out of the back door of the county government and walked directly to the Leizhou Mansion which was only a few zhang away from here.

Although he was very angry at the moment, he still decided to protect his precious son, and he couldn't be declared a personal vendetta by Lin Haoran, let alone be dragged into troubled waters by Lin Haoran taking the opportunity.

When he came to the front of the mansion compound, looking at the crowds of onlookers, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Especially the pair of indifferent eyes, knowing that things were getting bigger, it was difficult for his son to leave unscathed.

"Xiaguan Leizhou Governor Lin Haoran has seen the Lord of the Patrol Road!" According to the etiquette of officialdom, Lin Haoran walked down from the public hall and bowed respectfully towards Diao Nan.

"Daddy!" When Diao Chaosheng saw his father appear, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, as if he had seen a big savior.

Diao Nan secretly glared at his son, paused deliberately for a moment, and then questioned Lin Haoran with official authority: "Lord Lin, are you making a big fuss?" Is it necessary for a child to be tried in court because he is just doing something indecent? ”

There was a trace of disdain at the corner of Lin Haoran's mouth, and he didn't want to lose the notoriety of being a supreme official in the officialdom, but he was not afraid of Diao Nan at all, and said with a calm expression at this time: "If the Lord of the Patrol Road comes to listen, the lower officials are welcome!" If you want to meddle in the affairs of your own house and come to favor your son-in-law, then please go back! ”

Diao Nan glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, and felt that he had kicked a hard stubble. Previously, he planned to use his power to overwhelm people and bully this rookie in officialdom, but then he found out that he had far underestimated this young man.

This young man is polite to him on the one hand, and hard as a rock on the other hand, and he is an official who is deeply familiar with the combination of rigidity and softness, which is simply an old fritter in officialdom, and he cannot be peeped at all.

"Come on, bring a chair to the Inspector General!" Lin Haoran looked at him speechless, and didn't seem to have much patience, so he turned around and walked back to the front of the hall after giving a command.

Although this person's official rank is higher than his, he can also meddle in the judicial affairs of the Leizhou Mansion. But as he said, this person has no right to meddle in the affairs of the Lei Zhou Government, let alone dictate him.

Especially in his territory, and now that he has the initiative, he naturally doesn't have to be afraid of this sub-patrol lord.

Diao Nan was very angry in his heart, but he also knew that he couldn't help the other party. He glared at his pitiful son who was kneeling on the ground, and then sat down in the chair he had brought to sit in and listen here.

Although his son's actions were indeed a little bit Meng Lang, it was not a big fault after all, and now that he was sitting next to him and watching, Liang Lin Haoran did not dare to come nonsense.

Thinking like this, Diao Nan seemed to be a lot more relaxed, and even had time to plan how to "settle accounts after the autumn" with Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran sat back in front of the public case, regained his murderous aura, looked at Diao Chaosheng under the hall and asked, "Where are you on August 18?" ”

Hey?

When Diao Nan heard this, he was immediately stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Lin Haoran suspiciously.

Earlier, he had always thought that he was judging his son's indecent behavior in front of the joint workshop today, but only then did he realize that things seemed to be something else.

Yes?

When Diao Chaosheng heard this, he was suddenly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lin Haoran to ask this question, nor did he expect it to be this date.

In fact, he has already thought of a countermeasure, and plans to bite this as before, biting that this is a misunderstanding, and it was his pants that fell by himself. Relying on his father's status as a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court, this prefect is also helpless, or he will be lightly sent down like last time.

"Where were you on the eighteenth day of August?" Lin Haoran slapped the shocked wood, and asked Diao Chaosheng, who was kneeling on the ground silently.

"It's been too long, I don't remember!" Diao Chaosheng reacted, but he pretended to be stupid and stunned.

"Don't remember? Then this house will let you have a long memory! Lin Haoran smiled coldly, and said angrily: "Come on, give this mansion a heavy beating of thirty boards!" ”

Yes?

Diao Chaosheng thought that with his father present, the young prefect didn't dare to do anything to him. It's just that I didn't expect that this person would not give any face at all, and he would beat him at every turn.

If these thirty boards are really beaten, then he still uses them alive, even if he doesn't die, I'm afraid he will have to lie in bed for more than half a month.

"Lord Lin, it's not appropriate for you to be punished so rashly, right?" Diao Nan couldn't sit still any longer, and said to Lin Haoran in the hall with a dark face.

"Wrong?" Lin Haoran didn't smile, looked at Diao Nan and said jokingly: "Lord Diao said to a woman with a posthumous belly that if you move the punishment, you will be punished, how decisive is the execution, but now your son is so contemptuous of the court, but you have to take care of it in every way, isn't it ridiculous?" ”

"Well said!"

"That's it!"

"Beat his thirty boards, see if he dares to be hard-mouthed!"

……

The people in the hall were happy to do so, and they expressed their support for Lin Haoran's decision.

"My lord, I remember!" Diao Chaosheng's tone changed suddenly, and he immediately said urgently: "I drank with Cao Xiucai and other friends that night, and then I was a little drunk, so I went back to the house first." ”

"Who can testify?" Lin Haoran looked at him and answered honestly, and it was not good to really hold on, and his ultimate goal was not to play any board, but to have a bigger intention.

"My scholar Diao San!" Diao Chaosheng replied.

"Chuan Diao San!" Lin Haoran said in a deep voice.

Soon, the good-looking scholar Diao San was brought to court, but he listened to him tell what happened. That night they were drinking in Zuiyue Tower, Diao Chaosheng was a little drunk, so he helped Diao Chaosheng back to the house.

Diao Nan's face was solemn, and at this time, he naturally knew what medicine was sold in Lin Haoran's gourd.

When he wanted to reopen the case of Han Meng'er's murder of her husband, this person also stretched out his hand to him, and even wanted to retry the case of Cao Xiucai's murder of his wife. What made him a little puzzled was that according to Lin Haoran's meaning, his son seemed to be the real murderer who killed the Wang family.

If this was the case, the consequences would be so terrible that he didn't even dare to imagine what kind of catastrophe it would bring. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Haoran again.

"Diao Gongzi, what he said is true, right?" Lin Haoran was noncommittal, but looked at Diao Chaosheng and asked.

Now Lin Haoran is no longer the evil official who was going to be executed at the beginning, but a polite Confucian official, but in Diao Nan's eyes, this is clearly "the dog that bites does not bark".

"Not bad! I was a little drunk that day, and it was Diao San who helped me go home! However, it was a little late, and I was afraid that my father would punish me, so I secretly entered through the back door without alarming anyone! Diao Chaosheng nodded in response.

"Diao San has always been by your side, right?" The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth curled slightly, and she asked at him.

Diao Chaosheng was about to reply, but when he saw his father shaking his head imperceptibly, he swallowed back the words that came out of his throat, reorganized the language, and said: "I drank a little high that night, Diao San helped me back, but I was in a daze, I don't know if Diao San has been by my side!" ”

"Diao San, have you been with your son-in-law?" Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he looked quite disappointed, and turned to Diao San to ask.

"After I helped my son-in-law back home, I have been waiting for my son-in-law!" Diao San chuckled in his heart, but still replied honestly.

"Have you never left Diao Mansion?" Lin Haoran asked

"Nope!" Diao San shook his head firmly.

Bang!

Lin Haoran slapped the startled wood without warning, and looked at Diao San angrily: "What nonsense! ”

When the master and servant heard this, they were both stunned for a moment. In fact, not only them, but also the servants in the hall and the people under the hall cast puzzled eyes.

Lin Haoran threw down a money bag and asked in a cold voice, "Diao San, is this your money bag?" ”

"It's the villain's money bag!" Diao San looked at the words on it and knew that he couldn't pass the buck.

Lin Haoran snorted coldly, and then said coldly: "Why did your money bag fall in the Cao family's vegetable garden, I think you are the real murderer of the Wang family!" ”

"It's not! Adults, please be careful! Diao San shook his head in a panic, and then speculated: "I...... I heard that Wang was killed that day, and I went there to join in the fun, probably because it fell at that time!"

"When? What hour? Lin Haoran asked.

"II...... 20th, noon! Diao San replied.

"Is Diao Gongzi going with you?" Lin Haoran looked at Diao Chaoshengdao.

"Nope! After getting drunk that day, my father grounded me for half a month and never went out! Diao Chaosheng immediately shook his head and said.

When Diao San heard this, he immediately had a feeling of impending disaster.

"I think it's clear that you are the one who killed the Cao family! In view of the fact that the facts of the case are not clear, Diao San will be temporarily imprisoned, retried at a later date, and withdrawn from the court! Lin Haoran pointed the finger at Diao San, and then announced his retirement.
