my wife is queen

Chapter 54
Gradually, the Lu Garden settled down. An official wearing a peacock patch and scarlet official uniform quickly stepped into the Lu Garden with his official boots with thousand layers of woolen soles.

Followed by an official wearing the green official uniform of Lulu Buzi, and many government servants wearing long gowns with cross-collared narrow sleeves and red cloth ribbons around their waists.

When Sun Chuanting saw the officials in the official uniforms of Peacock Buzi, he took the initiative to go forward and salute: "I have seen my uncle, and with my uncle personally sitting in the town, I will not be afraid of others who will bend the law for personal gain."

The magistrate of Shuntian was none other than Shen Guangzuo, Shen Yixiu's uncle, who belonged to Dongjiang Town.

Shen Guangzuo was an impartial official, and never got involved in the party struggles between the Yan Party and the Donglin Party, nor did he have any contact with Qingliu.

No matter who the officials and gentry in the capital are, or which party they are involved in, they will be interrogated mercilessly if they touch the law.

As an official in Beijing, especially the prefect of Shuntian who is acting as the acting capital, it is not easy to do any acts of favoritism because of the intricate relationship between various cliques.

Shen Guangzuo didn't nod, and walked straight to Wan'an, thinking about the major case of the poisoning of the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Seeing that he was still alive, Shen Guangzuo relaxed slightly, and turned to look at the official who followed him: "I will arrange for the officials to temporarily close the Lu Garden and prohibit all people involved in the case from entering and leaving. The specific truth is only half a day."

Tui Guan understood what Shen Guangzuo meant, and the two had been together for a long time. When Shen Guangzuo was the county magistrate, he was a master of punishment.

Later, Shen Guangzuo was promoted all the way, and sat in the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, the third rank. The Tuiguan also had the fame of Juren, so he served as one of the officials in Shuntianfu, in charge of criminal names.

The pusher went to the side of the soft couch, found the housekeeper and borrowed a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and ordered someone to carry Wan An into the Pavilion of Eight Immortals.

The push officer took a look at Li Mian, but he didn't know his identity, he saw that he was wearing a soft scarf on his head, and he had a great reputation as an eunuch.

The pusher cupped his hands: "I would also like to invite this young master to sit elsewhere for the time being. I want to requisition the Eight Immortals Pavilion as a trial hall."

Li Mian stood up from the embroidered pier of the pastel flowers and birds, walked to Sun Chuanting's side, and stopped.

Seeing Li Mian and Sun Chuanting standing together, the Tuiguan was a little surprised, he had never heard of Sun Chuanting meeting any official and gentleman in the capital, and at the same time he was glad that he did not speak rudely to him.

With Sun Chuanting's vision of being higher than the top, not higher than the sky, the son of the Liububu Tang family may not be able to be admired by him. It seems that the identity of that person is really unusual.

The Tuiguan withdrew his thoughts, stood beside Wan An, and asked a few questions.

He turned his head and immediately looked at the nervous Sun Yifa, motioning for the servants to bring him over.

Li Mian and Sun Chuanting stood far away from the Eight Immortals Pavilion, so they couldn't hear what was being said in the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

However, from Sun Yifa's expression, it could be seen that what he said excitedly was obviously arguing for himself.

Afterwards, several officials and gentry sitting at the main table walked into the Eight Immortals Pavilion and accepted the questioning tremblingly.

Many of their fathers were officials in the capital. They were usually arrogant and domineering in the capital, and did not take ordinary officials seriously.

Facing Shen Guangzuo is different, they know well that the biggest reliance behind them has no effect in front of Shen Guangzuo.

Shen Guangzuo didn't seem to have any ties to any cronies, but he had to admit that he had Yuan Gong standing behind him, which made the officials and gentry feel afraid.

Tui Guan is an old official who is proficient in criminal names. It didn't take half a day, but only a stick of incense to find out the ins and outs.

He walked up to Shen Guangzuo and started talking in a low voice, discussing how to deal with the major case of Yushi being poisoned.

Sun Yifa stretched his neck, looked over, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his round neck robe.

Trembling in my heart, I waited for the trial in fear.

Until Shen Guangzuo turned his face to look at him, Sun Yifa's heart 'thumped', his heartstrings were tensed, and he became completely flustered.

He staggered back a few steps, bumped into the columns of the Eight Immortals Pavilion, and almost sat down in the pavilion.

Fortunately, he supported the corridor railing in time, and did not appear in the embarrassment of falling to the ground.

The officials and gentlemen who used to be so close as brothers, just watched with cold eyes, and no one stepped forward to support him.

The official and gentleman knew very well how bad the crime of poisoning the censor was, so he didn't dare to have any relationship with Sun Yifa, lest he be involved.

Shen Guangzuo had a few times in his mind, but he didn't tell the truth. Everything had to wait until the official seal was affixed in the government office, and then he could announce the trial results of the case of Yu Shi being poisoned on the horoscope wall.

Shen Guangzuo confessed: "Go and take Sun Yifa away, and temporarily lock him in the prison of Shuntian Mansion, waiting to be dealt with."

Without telling the specific truth, this sentence showed one thing to everyone present, that the culprit in the case of poisoning the censor was Sun Yifa.

The two yamen servants walked over, knowing that officials and gentlemen in the capital were not easy to mess with, they cupped their hands, hoping that Sun Yifa would take the initiative to go with them.

Don't make it difficult for them, lest they resort to other means to make Sun Yifa embarrassing in public.

Sun Yifa's mouth was full of bitterness, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move no matter what: "Please wait a moment, the magistrate, the student can't move his legs, take a few breaths before leaving."

It's just a few breaths, but you can wait.

Shen Guangzuo nodded, counting the hours silently in his heart, only giving him three breaths, and not letting him procrastinate.

There are still many things to do in the yamen. Last night, two groups of officials and gentry were drinking flower wine in Jiaofangsi, and because of jealousy, they beat each other.

Others didn't dare to take care of them, so Shen Guangzuo directly sent people to put all the officials and gentry into the prison. Today, they were preparing for interrogation and came across a big case.

When the time was almost up, Shen Guangzuo didn't say a word, he lifted his official boots with thousand layers of wool and was about to leave Lu Yuan.

Seeing Dong Weng get up and leave, the pusher waved his hand, signaling the two yamen servants to take Sun Yifa to leave together.

When Sun Yifa was waiting, his eyes kept looking at the door of Lu Yuan, but he never saw the person he wanted to see.

Sun Yifa had no choice but to leave with the two yamen servants and was imprisoned in the prison of Shuntian Mansion.

He knew very well in his heart that as long as this matter was not properly resolved in Lu Yuan, he would be sent to the prison in Shuntian Mansion.

There is no longer any room for maneuver, and he can only face Shen Guangzuo's stern and selfless trial.

Poisoning an official of the imperial court, or the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is not an ordinary case, but a big enough case to be passed on to the cabinet.

Sun Yifa wanted to leave, but he couldn't move forward, and fell back with his eyes glazed over.

The two yamen servants had been prepared for a long time, they held Sun Yifa's arms in time, and carried him away from the Eight Immortals Pavilion.

"Hold on."
