A piece of Japanese incense

"Stop, Prince!" The voice broke through the air, like the breaking of dawn, loud and firm, every word sonorous and eye-catching.

As far as the eye can see, he walked into the hall with light steps, his face solemn, accompanied by a slight cough, and slowly raised his hands to his chest, palms facing each other, fingertips lightly touching, as if holding an invisible respect. His body was slightly tilted, his waist bent, like a mountain pine and cypress bowing in the wind.

The jade pendant on his waist made a crisp sound. He lowered his head and fixed his eyes on the ground. He moved his hands horizontally to the left, stretched his arms straight, palms downward, and let the hair on his forehead brush over his eyebrows. Then he slowly retracted his hands and stood upright.

"After ten years of hard study, every time I turn the page, I am filled with longing and hope for the future. I aspire to show my talent in the imperial examinations and become an official, not only for the glory of my family, but also as a commitment to my country. I don't seek power or wealth, but only to bring peace and prosperity to the people of the world!"

There is right and wrong in this world, justice and the law, and the path of law is only justice.

If the beneficiaries do not take responsibility, enjoy fame and protection, and are not punished by the law, then what is the crime of the victims? What is the crime of the victims' relatives?

If hidden dangers are not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. Today, I am willing to risk the world's disapproval, speak for the people, and speak for the weak. Even if I have to sacrifice fame and even my life, I will fight for fairness and justice for innocent people!

On this day, in a time so ordinary that it was almost forgotten, a breeze carried his words, gently passing through the branches and ears, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, instantly igniting the stars in her heart. That voice, neither slow nor fast, contained an irresistible power, penetrating the hustle and bustle, reaching the depths of her soul, triggering a spiritual revolution.

Zhi Yihe felt her chest tighten, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping her heart, causing it to beat heavily and rapidly.

She closed her eyes, trying to catch the tremor of her soul in the darkness. She could feel her heartbeat quickening, her blood boiling, and every inch of her skin heating up. It was an indescribable warmth that spread from her heart to every part of her body, bathing her in a wonderful feeling of emotion.

When she slowly opened her eyes, the world seemed to become brighter and more vivid at this moment. Those details that were usually overlooked were now unusually clear.

"My lord, please be kind and seek justice for me and my family of four!" Xiao Zhu knelt slowly, her body heavy and tears streaming down her face.

"Zhuangyuanlang, you are a good person. That evil man expanded his house and demolished the wall of my home, causing my son to be injured. I beg you to take charge!"

"I have been imprisoned in a private prison for several months without seeing the light of day. Now I have become an arsonist. I beg you to investigate and clear my name!"

"My sister was sold to the Bai family. Someone saw her in Qianyanfang. Sir, please save my sister!"

……

The sunlight covered the corridor like golden silk, and the crowd seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, kneeling on the ground in unison and touching the hard ground.

Their faces seemed to be illuminated by a layer of sacred light, which seemed to come from the sky, making each face look particularly solemn and dignified. Their eyes contained complex emotions, like a colorful but delicate painting. There was a deep awe of the unknown power, just like the shock that surges in the heart when standing at the foot of a towering mountain and looking up at the top of the mountain; there was also an eager expectation for the future, like the stars twinkling in the night sky, although faint but full of hope; there was also a sense of obedience, flowing out naturally like a gurgling stream, without any resistance. However, among these many emotions, there was also a hint of indescribable melancholy, like the mist covering the valley in the early morning, which made people want to see clearly but could never touch the essence.

Even the wind, which is usually free and unrestrained, seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere at this moment. It quietly stopped its hurried steps, held its breath, and dared not easily break the tranquility. The whole world seemed to be immersed in a quiet meditation. Only a few clear and melodious bells occasionally came from distant places, passing through layers of mountains and dense woods, and slowly reaching people's ears. The bells seemed to carry the vicissitudes of history and the precipitation of years. Each sound struck the softest corner of the soul, awakening long-dormant memories and thoughts. "Investigate! Must investigate! Grandpa Huang sent me here to understand the people's sentiments. Sir, you will handle this case, and my brother and I will listen to the trial." Feng Zhiyu changed from a bystander to a participant. His eyes changed from calm to enthusiastic, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

When the clouds faded, the night surged in like a tide, covering the earth until the stars twinkled. The world seemed to have changed its face and opened a new chapter.

When Zhi Yihe left the office, there was still a steady stream of people walking through the threshold of the government office. Everything was moving in a good direction.

(After standing all day, I must take a bath and have a good sleep when I get home.)

"Ah He, guess what will happen to Bai Xuan in the end?" Yu Nian stretched out his finger and waved it in front of Zhi Yihe.

"Multiple crimes will be punished together, the lighter one will be exile, the heavier one will be beheading!" Zhi Yihe shook his head and spoke word by word.

"Ah He, will you blame me for not standing up today?"

Zhi Yihe shook his head nonchalantly: "No."

"I never thought that Brother Jinqi would have such a strong sense of patriotism. In comparison, I... am ashamed of myself."
