I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"This old bastard, Lao Jiang, just wait, I'm going to beat him up!" Chen Liu said as he was about to step forward.

Jiang Yuan quickly grabbed him and said confidently, "How rude! If you beat him up, he'll report you in the hall. You won't be able to say anything then. There are so many people watching, no one can help you."

"What the hell am I afraid of? I still have several kilograms of death-proof gold medals at home. I can just use them once!"

Jiang Yuanxian almost slapped him, "Gold medal for immunity from death, you're calculating by kilogram?"

"You know nothing! You felt good after beating him, but aren't you embarrassing His Majesty? Will Ning Zhiyuan force His Majesty to punish you then?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't punish you, it would be a violation of the law, and this would be a serious matter. If you are punished, wouldn't it appear that Your Majesty was forced by Ning Zhiyuan?"

"Just stay here and be patient!"

After Jiang Yuan's analysis, Chen Liu finally calmed down: "Humph! Then let this old guy go for now."

"That's right, just wait and see what happens to me!" Jiang Yuan straightened his chest and walked forward with Chen Liu. It took them a quarter of an hour to walk outside the hall before they reached the door.

Jiang Yuan kicked around, kicked off his shoes, and followed Chen Liu into the hall.

It was still dawn outside, but the hall was already brightly lit, and many ministers were standing in their positions.

Seeing Chen Liu leading people in, he immediately glanced at Jiang Yuan. What kind of identity does this guy have that he can be on par with Chen Liu?

What's more, Chen Liu doesn't look dissatisfied at all, which is strange.

Jiang Yuan pulled Chen Liu's clothes: "Old Chen, where do I stand?"

"Just follow me. You're here today as a Taiping County man, and you've been specially summoned by His Majesty. It's fine to stand in front."

Jiang Yuan slowly exhaled. It had been two years since the incident. This was his first time attending a court meeting. To be honest, he was a little excited.

Not long after, as Duanmu Yuanchen walked out from above, the group of people patted their sleeves.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

Looking around the entire court, everyone was kneeling on the ground, only two people were still standing upright.

As the only one of the two standing, Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at Ning Zhiyuan who was standing beside him. However, the latter did not notice him at all and was resting with his eyes closed.

Jiang Yuan didn't think twice and walked behind Ning Zhiyuan amid the puzzled looks of many officials and kicked him.

"what!"

Ning Zhiyuan, who was completely unprepared, was kicked to the ground by Jiang Yuan.

"Who? Who dares to commit murder in the hall!" Ning Zhiyuan stood up angrily. When he saw Jiang Yuan's familiar smiling face, he was a little confused.

"Jiang, Jiang Yuan? Why are you here?"

Jiang Yuan spread his hands and said, "Come whenever you want."

Ning Zhiyuan, who had reacted, jumped up from the hall and pointed at Jiang Yuan angrily: "Jiang Yuan! I don't care how you got in, but you actually started a fight in the hall. According to the law, you should be executed!"

After saying this, Ning Zhiyuan turned around and bowed to Duanmu Yuanchen, "Your Majesty, this person attacked in the hall and offended your majesty. Your Majesty, please punish him according to the law!"

Duanmu Yuanchen on the stage was also looking at Jiang Yuan with a confused face. No, I asked you to come over and kill Ning Zhiyuan, but I didn’t ask you to do it like a gangster!

You took action in this hall, and Ning Zhiyuan took all the justice. You are just giving it away for free!

"Ning Aiqing, please step aside. I will interrogate you and find out the reason. I will then discuss the punishment."

"My dear Jiang, are you confused after sleeping? Why are you taking action in this hall?" Duanmu Yuanchen said, winking at Jiang Yuan.

No matter what it is, as long as you can come up with a solution, even if you really said you were confused in your sleep, and you admit your mistake to Ning Zhiyuan later, or bow your head, as long as you have a reason, then I can say that you were nervous and mentally confused because you went to the palace for the first time.

However, just as Duanmu Yuanchen had this thought, Jiang Yuan said, "Your Majesty, I did it on purpose."

"hiss!"

"This, this is outrageous!"

"How dare you attack me in the main hall? This is simply a contempt for the law!"

"This man should be beheaded!"

Many ministers were talking about it, but Yang Cheng in the crowd frowned. It is said that the person who knows you best may not be your teammate, but may be your opponent.

I am an old acquaintance of Jiang Yuan. Although this guy is hateful, he is definitely not a brainless person. Why would he say such things in public? There is something wrong, absolutely wrong.

Ning Zhiyuan pointed at Jiang Yuan with anger on his face and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sure you've heard clearly that this man admitted that he did it on purpose. This shows that he simply doesn't take you seriously. How can I maintain your dignity if I don't execute him?"

Duanmu Yuanchen waved his sleeves and said, "Lord Jiang, I ask you again, why did you take action in the hall?"

Jiang Yuan took two steps forward, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke in an unusually calm voice, "Your Majesty, this humble servant did it on purpose."

"Okay!" Ning Zhiyuan was furious and turned to look at Duanmu Yuanchen: "Your Majesty, this man openly assaulted me. Please, Your Majesty, take action for me."

Duanmu Yuanchen looked at Jiang Yuan speechlessly for a moment. What on earth was going on?

"Your Majesty, you only asked why we took action in the hall, but you didn't ask why we took action against Lord Ning alone." Jiang Yuan said softly.

"Then why is this?" Duanmu Yuanchen asked subconsciously.

Jiang Yuan coughed dryly twice and slowly walked towards Ning Zhiyuan: "Your Majesty, this humble servant has just entered the palace for the first time, so some of the rules are not very clear to me. I simply decided to follow the people around me and do what they do."

All the ministers nodded. No one knows this from birth. When attending court for the first time, everyone follows the same actions as others, knowing when to kneel and when to stand up.

"Well, go on." Duanmu Yuanchen walked straight to the dragon throne and turned to sit down.

Based on his understanding of Jiang Yuan, Old Jiang is about to fight back.

I knew that Lao Jiang wouldn’t give it for free!

"Even before I entered the palace, I heard from some officials that Lord Ning is loyal to Your Majesty and a role model for all officials."

Ning Zhiyuan, standing by, glared at Jiang Yuan in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by that? Why did you hit me?"

Jiang Yuan held out a hand. "Don't be impatient. You have to speak slowly. Otherwise, how can we tell who is right and who is wrong in the end? Lord Ning is so anxious. Is there something wrong?"

"You are the one who has something to hide. I am upright and honest!" Ning Zhiyuan said angrily.

"In that case, let me finish what I want to say." Jiang Yuan spoke slowly.

Ning Zhiyuan snorted coldly and stopped talking. "You, Jiang Yuan, are eloquent, as was evident in the last lawsuit with the Yang family. But today I don't believe you can turn black into white!"
