Chapter 434

In any case, he could not be the one to take the blame.

"This Great Great Great Qian Daily again?"

Upon hearing this, Xun Bai Shui was stunned.

Then, he lowered his head to look at the newspaper once more.

He did not make a rash decision.

Instead, he read the paper carefully.

"Let's stop bothering your uncle."

"Let's head out quickly."

Seeing this, Xun Xun Xun Baiyun said to Xun Xun Xun Feizhan and his sister.

Both of them obediently agreed.

Thus, they quietly left together and arrived outside the courtyard.

However, the three of them were in no hurry to exit the main gate of the Jingzhao Prefecture office.

Not long after, they noticed that Xun Bai Shui had finished reading the paper.

He ordered a team of men to leave the office in a great hurry.

"I reckon he's going to arrest the people behind this newspaper..."

Xun Xun Xun Baiyun said, completely indifferent.

She was an ambitious person, yet in reality, she was extremely foolish, muddled, selfish, and short-sighted.

Therefore, she had no interest in this matter.

Xun Xun Xun Feizhan was different.

He was a reasonable and responsible person, self-disciplined and upright, cautious in his actions, and loyal to the country.

Encountering a case Love Love Like this, he immediately became concerned.

He begged his aunt to allow him to listen in from the side when the court session began.

Xun Anru also said she wanted to.

Xun Xun Xun Baiyun naturally didn't mind: "Fine, but you are not allowed to make a sound and disturb your uncle while he handles the case."

"Yes!"

Both youngsters agreed.

After waiting for about forty minutes.

The court session began.

Both the plaintiff and the defendant.

Had arrived.

In order to pressure the Jingzhao Prefecture.

The furious Gu Yankai and the Earl of Zhongqin arrived together.

Naturally, the two of them did not need to kneel.

As for the Marquis Marquis Wushuang Newspaper Office, the person in charge who arrived was Cheng Yu.

"MAJESTY!! MIGHT!!"

Inside the office.

Two rows of ten bailiffs stood on either side, holding heavy wooden staves, which they struck against the ground repeatedly while shouting in unison.

They were attempting to intimidate those involved in the case!

Sitting on the bench.

Sitting majestically in the center was Xun Bai Shui, dressed in official robes and wearing a black gauze cap.

To his left and right were his legal secretaries.

And several other officials.

The Prefect of Jingzhao had two Vice Prefects under his command.

Furthermore, similar to Jia Hui's Five Cities Military Commission, they had even more personnel.

There were also the positions of Merit Secretary, Record Secretary, Household Secretary, Judicial Secretary, Si Bing Canjun, Granary Secretary, and Personnel Secretary!

At this moment, one of the superior Vice Prefects, along with the Merit Secretary, Record Secretary, and Judicial Secretary, all took their places in court.

As for the Si Bing Canjun and others, their duties did not involve this, so they were not present.

Seeing that Cheng Yu was a stranger, Xun Bai Shui calmly intimidated him: "Who is before the court? Why have you not knelt down yet!"

Gu Yankai and the Earl of Zhongqin.

As well as Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenchun and his wife, Yuan Yuan Yuan Wenshao, the younger Lady Qin, Gu Gu Gu Tingyu, Gu Gu Gu Tingwei, and others were all present.

They all glared angrily at Cheng Yu.

Only the three of them in the corner, including Xun Xun Xun Baiyun, watched silently.

Gu Yankai said angrily: "Why waste words with this person who knows no etiquette? Guards, beat his legs immediately!!"

Hearing this, several bailiffs looked at each other.

They looked toward Xun Bai Shui.

Cheng Yu remained neither humble nor pushy; he glanced at Xun Bai Shui with contempt and cupped his hands casually: "I am Cheng Yu, a Vice Director of the Bureau of Military Appointments. There is no reason for me to kneel."

Hearing this.

Xun Bai Shui and the others were stunned.

Gu Yankai, the Earl of Zhongqin, and the others were even more shocked!

They had not expected this person to be an official!

And a Vice Director in the Ministry of War at that—this was a civil official of the lower fifth rank.

Although the rank was not high, he was certainly no mere petty official.

Naturally, it was impossible to force him to kneel.

Although impersonating an official was a grave crime.

Logically, no one would have the guts to do so.

But one must always account for the unexpected.

Xun Bai Shui did not believe him immediately, so he asked in a deep voice: "You claim to be a Vice Director of the Bureau of Military Appointments; what proof do you have, and why are you not wearing your official robes?"

"My build is large, and I only took up the post yesterday; my official robes are still being tailored."

"This is my official seal!"

Cheng Yu explained, still unhurried.

He then pulled the official seal from his bosom.

The secretary took it, examined it, and confirmed it!

This caused Xun Bai Shui to ponder slightly.

If the other party was an official, things would be difficult to handle.

He looked at Gu Yankai, the Earl of Zhongqin, and the others.

He found that their expressions were not good.

This was normal.

After all, they had originally thought he was someone easy to bully.

They had wanted to arrest him, bully him, and vent their anger.

Yet, he turned out to be an official.

That made things difficult.

The man was a lower fifth-rank official, and from the Ministry of War at that.

For someone of this rank.

Unless it was a serious crime Love Love Like treason, rebellion, or murder.

Otherwise, he, a lower third-rank Prefect of Jingzhao.

Really could not do much to him.
