Chapter 174: Qin Han Presiding Judge
As a result, Qin Han naturally became the chief judge of this case.
He was actually clear in his mind, and with the evidence in Xin Nianyan's hands, the matter was already a done deal.
On the eve of the retrial of the case, Hanfeng finally sent the detailed evidence of the case from Nan'an County Sheriff.
After seeing it, Xin Nianyan thought for a long time, took advantage of the sunset to get on the carriage, and went to Prince Han's Mansion for the first time.
After driving all the way, when the car stopped at the gate of the palace, a dim red sun was slowly setting.
"Miss Xin...?" The doorman of the palace was stunned. The prince had already told her that this girl was their future princess. If she came, she must be treated well.
But this was the first time he welcomed Xin Nianyan's visit.
"Is the prince here? I'll come find him." Xin Nianyan opened the curtain and leaned forward to ask.
"Here, here, Miss Xin, please hurry up, I will go and report to the prince right now!"
The doorman was so nervous that he almost bumped into the doorstep when he turned around.
"Your Majesty!!!!"
"Miss Xin is here!!!!!!"
He shouted excitedly all the way, and Xin Nianyan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Isn't it, a little too enthusiastic?
After getting off the carriage, Xin Nianyan looked up at Prince Han's Mansion, which was much taller than the Prime Minister's Mansion, took a deep breath and stepped in.
Not only does the front door of the Prince's Mansion look more impressive than the Prime Minister's Mansion, the inside is also dazzling.
It's very spacious when you step inside, with broad bluestone steps extending all the way into the green bamboo forest.
There is a nine-curved covered bridge in the courtyard, which is fresh and elegant. The flowing water returns to the lake, with a few remaining lotus flowers floating on it.
There are many plants and trees in the garden, and a patch of begonias is in full bloom, covering it from far away, so big that it seems impossible to see the edge.
Xin Nianyan admired in his heart that the courtyard of the palace was really big.
Qin Han came forward with a smile on his face and a bit of briskness in his steps.
"Yanyan, why are you here?"
"I've met the prince." Xin Nianyan said happily, "I'm here to give you something."
"Come in and sit down first." Qin Han led her across the courtyard full of begonias and into the royal palace's reception room.
Along the way, the servants on the road kept saluting her and couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Xin Nianyan couldn't help but be curious, "What are they looking at me for?"
"I've probably never seen a woman as beautiful as you." Qin Han said with a smile.
Xin Nianyan suppressed the urge to give him a glance, knowing that he was perfunctory, so she didn't bother to ask more questions.
The two of them entered the living room together, and Qin Han personally pulled out the seat for her.
"Come here, serve tea."
Xin Nianyan sat down and spoke to stop him.
"No need, Your Majesty, I'm just here to deliver something and I'll be leaving in a moment."
Qin Han sat opposite her, served tea, and then sent everyone away.
"I can't let you not even have a sip of tea when you first come back."
"Don't worry, I will personally take you to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion."
He was so enthusiastic that Xin Nianyan couldn't resist any further and nodded.
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Soon, the maid came up with tea.
After serving refreshments, he wanted to serve tea, but Qin Han waved his hand and sent him away.
"You came to me because of the retrial tomorrow."
Qin Han asked while pouring tea for her.
Xin Nianyan nodded. He was a little embarrassed in the unfamiliar environment, but Qin Han calmed him down, and he was no longer at a loss.
"I asked people to find the life of Nan'an County Sheriff, as well as the detailed evidence and the whole story of this incident."
With that said, he turned towards Xiaozhu, took the thing and handed it to Qin Han.
"Together with the correspondence between the two parties that I gave you earlier, it can be used as evidence of guilt, which is enough to dislodge those two."
Qin Han was responsible for this case, so he naturally found out everything.
Qin Han took it, glanced at it casually, put the things away, and said softly: "Okay, just leave it to me."
"Yanyan, you haven't told me yet why you want to reverse the case for the Song family." He suddenly stared at Xin Nianyan again, his eyes deep.
Xin Nianyan paused and didn't hide it from him anymore.
"I bought a maid earlier by some mistake."
"What a coincidence, it's the daughter of the Song family, Song Yuqing."
Qin Han nodded thoughtfully, "The one who hugged you last time?"
Xin Nianyan was holding tea to moisten his throat, and almost choked when he said these words.
"What a hug!"
"You fell in love with her, so you are helping her reverse the case?" Qin Han asked again.
Xin Nianyan paused for a moment, feeling that his wording was not quite right, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
"Yes, she has an excellent arithmetic talent, and I can use it very well. I want to keep her by my side."
"But this identity is too dangerous, so I simply helped her fulfill her wish, so that she can follow me wholeheartedly from now on."
When Qin Han heard this, the corners of his mouth turned into a smile again, and his eyes became extraordinarily gentle.
"Don't worry, I will give justice to the Song family and the Nan'an County Sheriff for you."
After a pause, he continued, "Yanyan wants to come to listen tomorrow?"
Xin Nianyan thought for a while and nodded.
"You can come and take a look."
It doesn't matter whether she goes or not, but she has to go with the cold dew.
After sitting in the palace for a while, Xin Nianyan didn't get up and leave until the sun turned to the west and dusk set in.
Qin Han didn't break his promise. He got on Xin Nianyan's carriage and accompanied her all the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He didn't turn around and leave until he got her to the door of her house.
…
The next day.
Criminal Court.
The people heard that the injustice case of the Song family was going to be retried in Beijing today, and many people gathered around the door to watch.
Xin Nianyan wore a bamboo hat, covered her face with white gauze, and changed into a neat white and green shorts, looking like a chivalrous woman walking in the world.
Next to her stood a woman dressed in black, with a collar pulled up so high that it barely covered her chin and exposed her eyes.
Her long hair was tied up on top of her head, with a few strands scattered around her ears, and her eyes were cold.
This person is none other than Miss Song Yuqing from the Song family, that is, Xin Nianyan who has worked hard to introduce Han Dew from Feiyan Pavilion.
"The prince is here!" With a loud shout, a handsome man wearing a white robe walked out from the back hall of the Criminal Department, with a sense of grace and indifference in his every move.
He lifted up his clothes and sat down in front of the case, glancing slightly at the crowd.
Even though he didn't stay for more than a second, Xin Nianyan felt that he recognized himself in the crowd.
He casually put his hand in front of the case and slapped the alarm with his hand.
"Let's start the class."
The master beside him quickly shouted.
"Biography, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of the Ministry of Hubu."
As the two people entered the court, there was a loud banging of the killing stick in the courtroom.
"mighty--"
The onlookers around him fell silent, waiting to see how the free-spirited king solved the case.
The two ministers stood side by side, neither of them could like the other, so they curtly saluted in the direction of Qin Han.
His perfunctory attitude made the onlookers frowning.
"I knew these two high-ranking officials were so arrogant, but I didn't expect them to be so arrogant. Even the prince doesn't take them seriously!"
Someone made a comment.
"That's right, it's so outrageous. This is the presiding judge!"
"Hey, Prince Han is a powerless and idle prince. It's not surprising that they don't take him seriously."
"Today's retrial is probably just going through the motions and blocking the world's opinions..."
