Chapter 121 Good News (Second Update)

Lu Feichen knew Mu Nanjin's interests and did not dare to leave without saying goodbye, so he had to ask her for leave early the next morning.

Mu Nanjin frowned: "You have to take leave on your first day on duty?"

Lu Fei said seriously: "I have something important to tell my family."

"Can't you just write a letter and let me know?"

Lu Feichen: "..."

At this time, Liu Qianhu rushed in excitedly: "Mu Nanjin, good news."

Only after he walked in did he realize that the atmosphere between Mu Nanjin and Lu Feichen was a bit gloomy.

Lu Feichen lowered his head slightly as if seeing an elder.

As for Mu Nanjin...

Even if you don’t tell her, she has always had such a cold face since I met her. I have never seen her happy or angry. People who don’t know think she is a cold person, but in fact...

hehe.

Mu Nanjin asked quietly: "What's the good news?"

Liu Qianhu cleared his throat: "Didn't you hope that the emperor would not hold the witnesses accountable for giving false testimony? Now the emperor has decided that as long as witnesses who have given false testimony have the courage to stand up and change their testimonies, their families will not be implicated, and their families will not be implicated. The sentence will be based on the seriousness of the matter. But if you know that you have given false evidence but still do not come forward to prove it, not only will your family suffer when the matter is found out, but in serious cases, you will be punished."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "It is indeed good news."

She looked at Lu Feichen: "I'm in a good mood today. I'll give you a month's leave to deal with your affairs."

Lu Feichen opened his mouth, but finally swallowed his words.

He originally wanted to explain that one month was not enough for the round trip, but since his ability was enough for him to travel back and forth between the two countries within a month, there was no need to make Mu Nanjin unhappy anymore.

"yes."

Lu Feichen quickly left the clerk's room, and when he was out of Mu Nanjin's sight, he let out a breath.

Just now, he actually felt more nervous to meet Mu Nanjin than to meet his master. Damn it.

Lu Feichen first returned to Xiaoqinglou to pack his luggage, and then left the capital on horseback.

When he left the capital, the emperor had already sent people to post an edict at the city gate, announcing that he would be punished for giving false testimony.

Mu Nanjin immediately informed the witnesses of the contents of the edict. Witnesses who had been feeling guilty for many years were all willing to come forward and testify again. Only the timid ones were hesitant and unable to make a decision.

This does not prevent her from overturning the case. For her, it is easy to deal with timid people. As long as she scares them more, she will be sure to get them to testify.

The first case Mu Nanjin wanted to overturn was the first case file she looked at. The prisoner was named Cheng Zhiyou.

What he committed was collaborating with the enemy.

The crime of collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime. Not only will his family be implicated, but he will also be punished by the nine clans.

At that time, more than 600 people died at once, ranging from elderly people in their eighties to newborn babies.

Mu Nanjin reported the reversal of the verdict to Liu Qianhu, who then conveyed the matter to Kan Chaoyan.

After Kan Chaoyan saw the case file, his expression changed drastically: "Why is this case file here with you?"

"It was taken from the case files that need to be re-examined." Liu Qianhu was confused: "Is there any problem?"

"Taken from the case file library?" Kan Chaoyan shook his head: "Impossible. This case file has been sealed long ago and cannot appear in the case file library. Did you make a mistake?"

Sealed case files cannot be reversed.

Liu Qianhu felt that he was particularly wronged: "How could I have made a mistake? And with my status as Qianhu, I am not qualified to retrieve the sealed case files, are you right?"

Kan Chaoyan thought about it and said, "Did Mu Nanjin do it?"

"It's even more impossible. This is the first case file she has read, which means she didn't know what she was going to do before. She only read the case file when she came to the Captain's Mansion to accept my arrangement."

Kan Chaoyan frowned: "Who is that? Who took out the case file? And specifically asked Mu Nanjin to handle it? There is a problem, there is definitely a problem here. Go back and tell Mu Yatou that the case file cannot be opened, let her open it Other case files.”

"Mu Nanjin has found a lot of physical evidence and witness, but now you say that the case cannot be overturned..." Liu Qianhu looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid she won't be happy, and she may not listen to you."

Kan Chaoyan's face was solemn: "Although I don't know the real details in the case file, but I heard about it from others and I can feel that there are many people involved in it. You go and hold Mu Nanjin while I go to the palace."

He strode out of the clerk's room and went straight to the royal study room of the palace, where he was told by the guards outside the courtyard that the emperor had left the palace.

Kan Chaoyan said anxiously: "Do you know where the emperor has gone?"

"I don't know."

Kan Chaoyan asked again: "Do you know when you will come back?"

"I don't know."

Kan Chaoyan walked back and forth outside the hospital.

He couldn't wait here forever, so he had to leave.

After he left, the guard rushed to the imperial study room and said inside: "Your Majesty, Master Kan has left."

The emperor came out of his bedroom.

Eunuch Yuan smiled and flattered him: "Your Majesty, you are really clever. You knew Lord Kan would come to see you early in the morning."

The emperor shook his head: "I only know that if he sees the Mu Nanjin retrial case file, he will definitely come to me."

Eunuch Yuan was confused: "Which case file does Mr. Mu want to re-examine?"

"Cheng Zhiyou."

Eunuch Yuan knew about Cheng Zhiyou and did not dare to say anything more.

On the other side, Kan Chaoyan returned to the Duwei Mansion and heard Mu Nanjin's heartfelt voice.

[Liu Qianhu said that Cheng Zhiyou’s case files need to be approved by the emperor before a retrial can be opened, which is obviously delaying the retrial. 】

[If he knew that Cheng Zhiyou took the blame for others and was punished by the Nine Clans, he would know that this matter needs to be vindicated as soon as possible. Otherwise, if word of the vindication spreads, the witness and the witness's family will be in danger, and many people will die. 】

Kan Chaoyan frowned.

There must be a traitor in Jin Yiwei, and he will definitely spread the news about helping Cheng Zhiyou rehabilitate.

Sure enough, in less than half a day, many officials knew about the matter. Everyone went into the palace to see the emperor, but they were told that the emperor had left the palace.

However, the ministers are all human beings, and they know that the emperor is avoiding them.

The emperor was indeed hiding from them, and he was also hiding in the Yongshou Palace of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly: "The Ai family knows that you found someone to secretly put Cheng Zhiyou's case file on Mu Nan's brocade table."

The emperor smiled bitterly: "There is no better child than a mother."

"Since you think Cheng Zhiyou was wronged, you should stand up and seek justice for him instead of hiding here to avoid the ministers."

The emperor looked gloomy: "My father once decreed that I would not be involved in this matter. Now that I go out to see the minister, I must issue an decree to stop this matter. How can I seek justice for him?"

"Don't you want Mu Yatou to take care of this matter? When you hand her the case file, you should believe that she has the ability to vindicate Cheng Zhiyou. Even if you order to stop her, she will find a way to help you. "

These words made the emperor couldn't help but recall what Mu Nanjin had done, and he couldn't help but laugh. His gloomy look disappeared: "The Queen Mother is right, I should believe her."

He stood up and excused himself, then went to see the ministers.

Half an hour later, Eunuch Yuan came to the Duwei Mansion with the emperor's imperial edict, which stated that Mu Nanjin was not allowed to retry Cheng Zhiyou's case file.

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

Mu Nanjin had accepted the imperial decree, but he didn't think so in his heart.

[Tsk, a mere imperial edict wants to stop me? 】
