Another morning, Bian Xuedao came to the Ministry of Revenue early.

Although it was only two days, it was as long as two years for him. Even if he didn't ask anyone to inquire deliberately, the comments about him from outside could not stop him, making him unable to sleep or eat, and was in a state of distraction.

As he walked towards the General Office, Bian Xuedao met several subordinate bureaucrats, and they naturally greeted them one by one. But somehow, when he saw their smiles that were no different from the past, Bian Shishang always felt that there was another meaning, as if he was laughing at him and doubting himself...

But the problem is that he couldn't catch someone and ask him what he was thinking. Isn't that guilty? So Bian Xuedao, who entered the room, became more and more irritable. Although he sat down early, he didn't deal with any official business until the sun was around, and most of the time he was just dazed.

The subordinates and others naturally knew what their boss was doing recently and did not dare to disturb him. They could only observe outside the door secretly until around Siyu that they had to come forward for some reason: "Sir, the Imperial City Office sent someone to come and said that you were asking you to talk to the other side."

Bian Xuedao was thinking about it and suddenly became excited: "Imperial City? What are they looking for me?" As soon as he said that, he remembered the news sent by Luoyang Prefecture yesterday. The guys from Zongheng Bookstore related to the newspaper were taken away by the people from the Imperial City Division. Obviously, the case fell into their hands. But after he understood this, his expression became even tighter. This Imperial City Division is more difficult to deal with than Luoyang Prefecture. I am afraid that even Your Highness Yong will find it difficult to put pressure on them. This case is not easy to handle.

Although he was worried, he could not avoid this matter. Bian Xuedao could only grit his teeth and said, "Prepare the car, I will go through it now." Even so, he still believed that he could still take the initiative in this matter. After all, the so-called sins have been gone for many years. It is difficult to find any evidence or physical evidence. You can insist that the other party is slandering!

After changing clothes, after half an hour, Bian Xuedao finally came to the Imperial City Department and was quickly invited by their people to a hall. Then he saw Prince Yong Sun Lin sitting next to the hall. This made him stunned and his heart felt even more stable. He was here to support him, so what else could he worry about?

Yesterday, King Yong stayed in the Imperial City Department for a long time, but he could not wait for Li Ling to arrive. But he was not discouraged and left a message. If the trial starts today, he must pass on a message to himself and he will come to the trial. So before the hour, the Imperial City Department really sent someone to the Ministry of Justice to pass on the message, and he came as promised, which was a little earlier than the Border Learning Taoism as the party involved.

As a noble prince and a key official in the court, he naturally had to open a position for him in this hall that matched his identity, so he chose to be next to the presiding officer. There was also a coffee table in front of the wide chair with dried fruits and refreshments, which was considered as a service for Zhou.

However, Sun Lin did not care too much about such an arrangement. All he cared about was the direction and result of this court trial. He did not ask him to wait too long. As Bian Xuedao arrived, Lu Zhen, the presiding judge, quickly announced the trial and immediately asked someone to bring all the relevant criminals to the court.

There was no random photo shoot like a case-trial trial. Lu Zhen just shouted loudly about the identity of the people in the bookstore, and then as they told him, he determined who the author of the article was. When he heard this familiar name, Bian Xuedao, who was also waiting in the hall, changed his face. He had just learned that the author's identity, which caused him great trouble, was Li Ling.

He really didn't expect that this young subordinate would be so brave that he would dare to write articles so blatantly to attack him. What made him even more uneasy was how this guy grasped so many of the past? Did he have been making arrangements to deal with him, and even in the previous year, he was busy with this matter many times?

Until this moment, Mr. Bian finally felt a little panic and felt that the situation was much more dangerous than he thought.

Li Ling was quickly taken to the hall. Lu Zhen only glanced at him and asked loudly: "Li Ling, you are the owner of Zongheng Bookstore. Did you write the article in his Zongheng newspaper under the name of Xiaoyaozi, "Shocking! Senior officials of the court have committed numerous crimes!"?"

Li Ling bowed his hand and admitted it straightforwardly: "Yes, that article was written by me."

"Bold, do you know what you have written and dare to slander the imperial officials like this!" Lu Zhen immediately sank his face and slapped the table and scolded him, "But because you have a personal grudge with the Minister of the Bian, did you make up such a thing to ruin his reputation?"

Li Ling looked righteous and righteous: "No, although I had some conflicts with Mr. Bian before, I would not have done such slanderous acts. What I wrote in my article is true."

"It's simply nonsense!" King Yong finally couldn't listen anymore and interrupted with a slap in the coffee table, "Li Ling, you still dare to exonerate yourself with clever words! I ask you, how old are you and how many years have you been in the court for several years, how could you know everything about more than ten years ago? Wouldn't you just make up for this casually?"

Lu Zhen naturally did not dare to show dissatisfaction with King Yong's interruption, so he could only cough and say, "What Your Highness says is not unreasonable. Mr. Bian, what do you have to say?"

Bian Xuedao had calmed down and said at this time, "I also swept the contents of the article. It was really shameless. The ones written on it were not even heard of. He made it up just to ruin the reputation of the official. It was really hateful."

"In other words, the Minister of the Secretariat did not admit the crimes in the article he wrote?" Lu Zhen took the opportunity to ask.

"I haven't done it before, why should I accept it?" Bian Xuedao stared at Li Ling hatefully, "This is because he, Li Ling, has a personal grudge with me, so he made up a random trick to harm me. I really don't know what it means to do, so I should be punished severely!"

King Yong also spoke, "Lu Dusi, the case is now very obvious. All of this is Li Ling and his bookstore people in his name, who have committed fraud in order to retaliate against the Bian Shigong. These methods have never been heard before, but this trend must not be long and must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

King Yong's statement was also putting pressure on Lu Zhen to make a decision. Bian Xuedao also echoed: "Yes, if this matter is not severely punished, other officials in the court will do similar things due to certain grievances in the future, confusing the public. Where will the imperial court's majesty be placed? Therefore, I think that Li Ling must be punished heavily, and he should hand over the person to the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice and then report it to Your Majesty..."

OK, his suggestion was to force Li Ling to death. After all, the Ministry of Justice is the territory of King Yong. As long as he is really imprisoned, it will take only one night to take his life. King Yong nodded even more convincedly: "I think so too, Lu Dusi, why not hand the criminals over to my Ministry of Justice for treatment now."

The two of them sang together and wanted to take everyone away in the hall. Even the guards of Yongwang outside the hall stepped forward and wanted to get the people directly.

If they were placed in other yamen, they would have succeeded in such a momentum. After all, there were few officials in the court who dared to face their pressure. But now...

Lu Zhen shook his head, "Wait, Your Highness, please be calm first. It's not too late to make a decision after the officials have figured out the matter." As he said this, the Imperial City Selis guarding both sides of the hall suddenly turned slightly, and their eyes settled on the guards. With the momentum, they immediately stopped them, so that they did not dare to be arrogant and ran into the hall.

This fall into the eyes of King Yong also made him feel a little trembling, and he nodded softly, feeling that something was wrong. This matter was obviously not as relaxed as he had imagined before, and the Imperial City Department's position was even more wrong!

Bian Xuedao also felt this at this moment, and his expression changed even more: "Lu Dusi, what do you mean? Have you already explained it very clearly? Everything is Li Ling holding a grudge and wanted to take revenge on me, so he made such an article to slander me and caused a storm..."

"Mr. Bian, please be calm. Although what you said is not unreasonable, since you are asking the case, you must give the defendant a chance to speak, right?" Lu Zhen said, looking at Li Ling, who was also calm, "Li Ling, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Ling looked at the Bian Shigong whose expression had changed and said slowly: "Yes, I do have some grudges with Bian Shigong for some reason, but even if I, Li Ling, hold a grudge, I cannot use such stupid means to slander a dignified court minister! Sir, the reason I wrote this article is because these things actually happened. His Bian Shigong is really as written in the article, and he did such things that are worse than beasts!"

"Bold, at this time, you dare to speak nonsense. Do you really say that I, Dayue, have no king's law?" King Yong immediately rebuked.

Then, Lu Zhen also beat the case several times and shouted in a deep voice: "Li Ling, this is the Imperial City Department, and you can't tolerate such nonsense. You are responsible for saying this! If there is no conclusive evidence, it is a false accusation and slander, and you will be punished severely!"

"I didn't lie, and as for the evidence, there are naturally some." Li Ling looked at him without fear and looked at the two of Bian Xuedao, who had changed color, completely confident and full of grasp.

At this moment, it was the turn of King Yong and the others to feel confused. Will this be true? After looking at each other, King Yong found that Bian Xuedao's face had turned pale, and he was obviously in his heart.
