Chapter 1474: A clash at the Court of Judicial Review, a counter-accusation!

Lu Wen was cursing internally.

Wang Er, is it?

You're finished, you're truly finished!

This time he had really been dragged into a pit. At the mere thought of having to take action against the Living Yama, a sense of fear involuntarily filled Lu Wen's heart.

As for that Living Yama, Pei Ji might be a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger, but Lu Wen had watched the Living Yama rise all the way to Prime Minister, holding high position and great power.

If he took action, he would likely be finished!

Even if this matter was absurd, even if the Living Yama and the old Duke had beaten Pei Ji.

Lu Wen felt that since the Living Yama dared to strike, he must have his own confidence.

Pei Ji frowned; he was not stupid and immediately realized that Lu Wen had lost his nerve.

Although he was displeased, he did not show it. After all, the Living Yama's identity was indeed terrifying, and it was normal for Lu Wen to be afraid.

Furthermore, he already had a backup plan.

"Lord Lu, although Lord Gao is the Prime Minister, as a model for all officials, how can he strike people like this?"

"Could it be that the Court of Judicial Review, which represents the justice of Da Qian's laws, also fears the monstrous power of that Living Yama?"

Pei Ji deliberately raised his voice.

Once these words fell, some scholars outside the Court of Judicial Review also became restless.

They raised their right fists and shouted, "Punish the madman severely, defend the Holy Dao!"

"The laws are strict; how can the Living Yama be so arrogant?"

Lu Wen looked up and saw some scholars emitting wave after wave of sound.

But fortunately, the clamor was not too great.

Pei Ji felt a bit disappointed.

Logically speaking, with the Pei family's reputation, combined with his miserable appearance on the streets and coming to the Court of Judicial Review to seek justice.

The scholars of Changancheng should have been agitated, forming a massive force to pressure the Court of Judicial Review to hear the case.

This was also the purpose of his trip!

But looking at it now, the clamor was much lower than he had imagined.

But thinking of the things Gao Yang had done one after another, Pei Ji felt relieved.

First, he defeated the Chu Kingdom delegation, his name as a Sage of Poetry spread throughout the world, then he donated ten million taels of silver to build schools widely, sheltering the poor scholars of the world, and recently he used a single plan to throw Zhao Guo into chaos, winning the hearts of the Da Qian people.

He looked behind him; there were not many scholars shouting, and most were full of hesitation, some disbelieving and waiting to watch the spectacle.

It was actually some middle-aged merchants whose cheering was unadorned and heart-wrenching.

This made the Pei family's mouth twitch.

But even so... it was enough!

Pei Ji raised his head and stared at Lu Wen.

Lu Wen was being roasted on a fire and felt extremely uncomfortable; he really did not know how to handle this matter.

Once the law was not impartial, if Pei Ji just had to find an Imperial Censor to impeach him, he would be finished.

But if he handled it impartially, he would be making an enemy of the Living Yama.

But Lu Wen was, after all, an old hand in the officialdom, and he immediately thought of a solution.

"Someone, go and invite Prime Minister Gao here. Tell him he is involved in a case of assault, and this official is summoning him for questioning according to the law!"

As the Prime Minister of Da Qian, and with the Duke of the State's residence heavily guarded, if Gao Yang did not come, what could the Court of Judicial Review do?

Could he lead troops to storm the Duke of the State's residence?

He could only report the matter exactly as it was to Wu Zhao and let her decide.

In this way, he had successfully extracted himself.

Lu Wen's expression softened, and he said with satisfaction in a voice only he could hear.

"Lu Wen, oh Lu Wen, you truly live up to your name."

"You really are a clever little devil!"

But just at this moment, a resonant voice sounded from outside the Court of Judicial Review.

"No need to send anyone to summon this Prime Minister; I have arrived!"

What?

Once these words were spoken, Lu Wen suddenly looked up toward the outside of the Court of Judicial Review.

He saw that the scholars and commoners who had originally been outside the Court of Judicial Review had all cleared a wide path.

Gao Yang, dressed in purple official robes and surrounded by Chen Sheng and a group of guards, walked straight in. ===== CHAPTER 1476 =====
