Chapter 508 Xiao Lang Appears
The three courts in Jiangning County Court tried the case of Ma Weimin. Due to the internal struggles among the members of the inspection team, they hindered each other and shifted the blame. As a result, there was no progress in the case for about two quarters of an hour.

Xiao Jingchuan, who had been hiding behind the screen, was deeply saddened and sighed in disappointment.
But then again.

Given this situation, Xiao Si became more interested in Ma Weimin.

Xiao Lang couldn't help wondering why a small official of the fifth rank of grain director could be involved in a secret struggle among the Inspectorate, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of War based on his own case? !

Could it be true, as Liao Gengshen had discovered, that Old Ma really had some bad debts that forced the Ministry of Revenue to be cautious and fearful?
If you think about it, it is not completely impossible!

So, if that’s the case, then Ma Weimin must not be left alone to fend for himself!

After thinking about this, Xiao Jingchuan gradually made up his mind!

That's the kind of person he is. He must act quickly and grab the item in his hands before saying anything else.

For today's trip, Xiao Langchu originally wanted to just ask for his help so that he could handle the work later.

Take a look at it now, what a pleasant surprise!
He didn't care whether Ma Weimin could be of great use to him in the future, but at the moment, the evidence hanging on his body was enough reason to ask Xiao Lang to protect him!

Therefore, since he had made careful plans, Xiao Lang had no reason to wait any longer in the dark.

And it just so happens that the front hall is also in a deadlock at this moment!

Then Xiao Jingchuan stood up swiftly, took a deep breath, and led the guard Yue Xiu beside him. The two of them found the right time to make a move, and then they showed their true identities from a small opening on the side in a dignified and open manner.

In comparison, all the officials in the front hall were so panicked and nervous about this unexpected incident!
As soon as they saw Xiao Lang coming out, everyone was caught off guard and looked at each other in surprise.

During this period, Lin Zhiwan made the biggest fool of himself. He spoke first in an official tone, trying to force Xiao and Yue to report and reveal their identities.

Of course, given the situation, it is no wonder that the officials on the scene could not recognize Xiao Lang's position.

After all, at the grand ceremony of enthronement in the palace a few days ago, most of these fourth and fifth rank officials from various government offices were ranked at the back, far away from Xiao Jingchuan, who was at the front.

The ceremony was held in an open space outside the palace.

Therefore, most people cannot see Xiao Lang's appearance, which is also a normal thing!
At this moment, General Xiao suddenly came out from the side door and appeared in front of everyone.

They felt that they were confused for a moment and could not understand the situation, which was inevitable.
"cough!"

During the silence in the front hall, Yu Yuexiu refuted Lin Zhiwan's previous words and coughed lightly to break the deadlock.

"You are Hubu Lin Zhiwan, right?!"

"He may not be a high-ranking official, but he is very courageous!"

"What are you yelling about?!"

"You are so insolent in court!"

Yue Xiuban had a look of disdain on his face and suddenly said this.

After hearing this, everyone in the front hall was stunned again, and each of them had a look of surprise on their face.

On the contrary, Yue Xiu seemed to be less concerned and without delay, he continued writing to tell the truth and also introduced the identity of the former Venerable Xiao Lang.

"This one was recently conferred by the emperor himself. He is the Left Pillar of the State, the Special Advancement Doctor of Ronglu, the Left Military Governor's Office, and the Duke of Jingguo!" "This time, I was ordered by the emperor to leave the capital to investigate the shortage of military rations and punish corruption!"

"Oh, I think you all must have heard about the news of the imperial envoy's order!" Yue Xiu's words shocked the audience.

Upon hearing this, all the officials were greatly shocked.

"Uh, naturally!"

Amid the uproar, only the Inspectorate's Left Censor-in-Chief, Yuan Wenzhong, stammered and responded in a timid voice.

As for the rest of the gentlemen, they all had different expressions and stood there in a daze.

When they heard that the man was the newly-appointed Duke Jingguo himself, the members all demanded his record. They thought that he must have just spoken in the hall and could no longer hold it back, so he had to reveal everything!
The situation became urgent. Liao, Lin, and Zeng were all trembling with fear. At this critical moment, no one dared to talk to Yan Yi anymore.
In contrast, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xiao Lang looked around at the officials, but was in no hurry to speak.

He put on a calm and composed look, calmed his temper, and stood still for a long while.

After finishing, he said nothing, made no statement, and actually took another step, heading towards the desk of Lin Zhiwan, who was in the far left row.
At this moment, look at Lin Zhiwan, who was so arrogant just now but now he is silent, completely and wilted!
He sneaked closer to Xiao Zhi, like a frost-bitten eggplant, panicking and unable to hold back, and with his legs shaking, he straightened his body, looking ridiculous as if he was being bullied and waiting to be taught a lesson.

One step, and then another.
Xiao Jingchuan approached the case, still dignified and silent, with no unnecessary expression on his face, staring at him with a stern look without anger.

Lin Zhiwan could not bear this feeling of oppression any longer, and he suddenly lost his courage, and finally gathered his strength, bent down and took a sneak peek!
But it was unexpected!

In just two short breaths, Xiao Lang didn't bother to look around, and suddenly picked up the folding fan that he had placed on the table!
Just as Lin Zhiwan glanced over with his thieving eyes!
There was only a crisp click.
The fan that Zhan swung just separated the two people's eyes from each other!

Doctor Lin was frightened by this sudden action and trembled violently. He quickly clasped his hands on the corner of the table and managed to steady himself.

Xiao Lang, however, did not intend to say anything to him at this moment. Instead, he looked at the folding fan with great interest.
The ribs of this fan are made of Xiangfei bamboo and are sprinkled with gold foil. Two crooked willows are painted on the lower left corner, and in the middle are two lines of Du Zimei's poems.

Inscription: Two orioles sing in the green willows, a line of egrets fly in the blue sky.

As for the calligraphy, the cursive script is quite good, but I don’t know who wrote this calligraphy!

As the old saying goes, the handwriting reflects the character of the person!

However, if these two strokes of cursive script are really the work of Lin Zhiwan, then the saying that the calligraphy is like the writer should be thrown out of the mind and not believed completely!

After finishing his idle thoughts, Xiao Lang threw the fan back on the table and stopped worrying about it.

Da da da.
He stepped on his riding boots, turned his head and walked into the hall without saying a word. He looked back and stared into Yuan Wenzhong's face!

"You are... Yuan Wenzhong, Mr. Yuan!" Xiao Yan said loudly with a flat tone, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

When the officials in the hall heard the emperor's voice, they all became nervous.

Especially this boy's strange and unpredictable behavior during this short period of time is really hard to understand.

"Uh, yes, it's me!"

"No, I didn't know that Lord Jingguo suddenly came here."

"Uh, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

Yuan Yi trembled and stuttered, and followed Lin Zhiwan's polite behavior, struggling to stand up and answering quickly, not daring to neglect
