Chapter 1473

He was looking at Lu Wen with a face full of resentment.

His name was Li Wenle, a Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, ranked at the upper Sixth Rank, responsible for adjudicating cases.

When he heard that Pei Ji had been beaten and learned of Pei Ji's identity, he was incredibly excited.

If he could latch onto the Pei family, wouldn't he be able to rise rapidly in his career?

But immediately after, Lu Wen insisted on presiding over the case himself.

He had no choice but to listen from the sidelines.

"Sigh, what a loss!"

Li Wenle thought silently to himself.

"Who is below the dais, and what is your grievance?"

At this moment, Lu Wen slapped the gavel on the table and asked with a face full of majesty.

Pei Ji bowed to Lu Wen and said, "I am Pei Ji, and I wish to lodge a complaint against the Da Qian Living Yama, as well as the Minister of Revenue Gao Feng and the Duke of the State, all three of them!"

"My lord, please look, look at what they have done to me. I implore you, my lord, to uphold justice for me!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Lu Wen's complexion changed drastically, turning pale to the point of being visible to the naked eye.

The Living Yama Gao Yang?

The Minister of Revenue Gao Feng?

And the Duke of the State Gao Tianlong?

The people who had beaten Pei Ji into a pig's head were actually the three generations of the Gao family?

Lu Wen almost lost his seat and toppled over.

He had previously overlooked a fatal issue: in this Changancheng, there were only two possibilities for anyone daring to beat Pei Ji like this!

First, they did not know Pei Ji's identity, or did not believe it, and thus struck with such ruthlessness!

Second, they knew Pei Ji's identity but simply did not care.

If it were the first, it would be easy to handle, but if it were the second, then how terrifying must the identity of the person who struck be?

Cold sweat seeped from Lu Wen's forehead. Ever since the vicious plot of Zhao Guo was exposed, he had been avoiding Gao Yang whenever possible; he truly feared him.

But he never expected that fate would force him to face the Living Yama once again.

How was he to judge this case?

Following this realization, the other officials of the Court of Judicial Review were also stunned.

Li Wenle gasped, a famous saying surfacing in his mind.

"As the old saying goes, 'suffering a loss is a blessing'; the ancients truly did not deceive me!"

He felt incredibly fortunate in his heart.

If this had been him, wouldn't he be finished?

On the other side.

A handsome young man who had originally been full of ecstasy saw his smile freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wang Er could no longer smile.

Lu Wen, did he really remember him?

Although he did not look up, he could feel a chilling murderous intent heading his way.

Cold sweat seeped from Wang Er's forehead, and he made up his mind.

He had some urgent business and needed to take leave for a period of time.

His grandmother was about to give birth, and as her grandson, he had to return home as quickly as possible to see her. ===== CHAPTER 1475 =====
