The chief justice sat on the throne with a grim look in his long and narrow eyes.
Supervisor Zuo stood at the side with his head lowered, feeling extremely uneasy.
Such a case should be tried by the Left Supervisor; otherwise, the chief justice would be too busy to handle everything.
When the left supervisor received the report from his subordinates, he immediately prepared to investigate the case.
A case like this, which involved an assassination of an important figure of the imperial court, was easy to handle.
It was basically just a formality to find out the identity of the assassin.
In the Qin laws, if you saw someone committing a crime on the street and did not stop them, you would be guilty.
Not to mention this kind of person who sneaked in late at night, wore night clothes, and was prepared to commit murder with a sharp sword.
It was very simple to deal with.
Unexpectedly, the president of the supreme court also came here after receiving the news.
Since the superior wanted to personally handle the case, the Left Supervisor could only retreat to the side and watch.
However, he was puzzled.
In the beginning, the Left Supervisor thought that Daren wanted to build a good relationship with this new noble of Xianyang, the divine doctor favored by the Emperor.
However, at the sight of the chief justice's gloating look, Zhang Tie faintly felt that it was not that simple.
Supervisor Zuo stood at the side with his head lowered, feeling very uneasy.
One was the dean of the Supreme Court, the other was the new noble of Xianyang who was favored by the emperor.
If it was not handled properly, it would lead to a fatal disaster.
If things got out of hand, he might become the scapegoat…
From the bottom of his heart, Supervisor Zuo had no intention of participating in the battle.
Getting involved in a dispute might cause his family to be destroyed.
But now that they were here, there was no chance for them to retreat.
If he avoided it on purpose, the chief justice would misunderstand that he was eager to get rid of the relationship between them.
After a moment of hesitation, he carefully advised,"Milord, after all, this child is deeply doted on by His Majesty.”
"No worries!"
The chief justice waved his hand with a proud look on his thin face.
"This person actually dares to refute the matter of enfeoffment in the Imperial Court. Tomorrow, the Imperial Clan and the Prime Minister will definitely stand on our side!"
Humph, this kid was too arrogant, he even offended the professors.
It was just a small punishment. As long as it didn't hurt his bones, no one would say anything.
I'll give him a good beating so that he won't get killed in the future. He should thank me, hahaha!”
The chief justice stroked his goatee as he raised his head and burst out into laughter.
The thought of being able to make that detestable brat kneel at his feet made him feel a wave of pleasure.
That day in Xianyang Palace, Qin Mu didn't just block the road of enfeoffment for Ying Cheng and the rest.
It also blocked the path of others.
After becoming an official and making contributions, who wouldn't want to become a duke one day?
It was all that hateful kid's fault.
Now that the doctors who had been pushing for the enfeoffment system had been sent away, there was even less hope.
Qin Mu could be said to be enemies of the entire dynasty.
He had completely offended the imperial clan.
Giving him a small punishment, the Emperor would not say anything for the sake of all the officials in the court.
Supervisor Zuo was still a little uneasy, but seeing that his superior had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more.
However, he had a bad feeling.
Da da ~
A minor official quickly stepped forward and said respectfully,"Milord, I've brought the person!"
The chief justice became spirited as he ordered loudly,"Bring him up!"
Soon, an imposing man in luxurious clothes was brought forward.
However, there were two small officials on both sides of him, looking like they were escorting criminals.
Qin Mu stopped and raised his head to look at the middle-aged man in front of him.
After seeing his attire, he smiled and bowed."Lord justice."
In terms of etiquette, there was nothing to be picky about.
The chief justice narrowed his long and narrow eyes as he frowned.
When the minor officials around him saw this, they immediately berated,"How dare you! Prisoner, kneel down!"
Qin Mu straightened his back and raised his head to look at the goateed middle-aged man who was silent behind the table.
Seeing the corners of the other party's mouth curl up, it was obvious that he had tacitly approved of the small official's actions.
Qin Mu couldn't help but frown.
He was secretly puzzled,[I don't have any enmity with him…right?]
"Your Excellency, it's not polite."”
The chief justice opened his eyes widely as he said in a muffled voice,"You naturally have to kneel when you see me!"
Qin Mu raised his head and said proudly," His Majesty has given me special permission not to kneel to anyone except for him. Even when I see Eldest Young Master Fu Su, I don't have to kneel!"”
Because Fu Su was the Crown Prince of the State of Qin, the commoners had to kneel when they saw him. This was strictly regulated at that time.
Using Fusu as a comparison, the meaning was self-evident.
He almost said,"I don't even need to kneel down when I see the publicly acknowledged crown prince, not to mention the chief justice who is in charge of justice. Is he qualified?"
In any case, Qin Mu could tell that this chief justice obviously didn't like him and was trying to make things difficult for him.
If it wasn't for the Emperor's favor, he might have just attacked with a stick!
Since he was already viewed with hostility, why should he give him face?
There was no need to kneel. This was a privilege given by the Emperor.
The chief justice frowned with an extremely gloomy face.
Originally, he wanted to humiliate this kid, because there was no clear rule on whether he should kneel when he was on trial for a crime.
Therefore, he wanted to scare this kid. If he really knelt down, it was his own will.
Besides, he didn't say a word.
Even if the emperor were to ask questions in the future, he could push the blame onto the petty officials.
Who would have thought that this kid was actually so arrogant!
Even the company's young master had brought it up for comparison. No matter how angry he was, he could only endure it.
The chief justice gritted his teeth and shouted with a gloomy look,"Men, get on the shackles!"
"Yes!"
The two minor officials hurriedly agreed and excitedly took out something that looked like handcuffs and shackles. They grinned coldly.
Qin Mu's brows furrowed tightly, and a wave of fury rose in his heart.
It was not difficult to break free from the shackles. With his strength, it would be easy for him to break them.
He had just arrived and had already given him a show of strength. Now, without even asking, he was using the torture tool.
However, if he tried to struggle and resist, he would be arrested!
'I'm just an outsider who has no one to rely on. If I really cause a scene in the Supreme Court, I might not be protected by the emperor.'
Gritting his teeth, he said in a deep voice," Lord of the Supreme Court, I'm the plaintiff and the victim. It's not appropriate for you to do that!"”
The Left Supervisor lowered his head and carefully looked at it.
Given the look of the chief justice, he might punish this brat!
She wanted to persuade him, but when she saw Shangguan's smug look, she hurriedly swallowed her words.
Outside the door, the ten-year-old who had escorted Qin Mu over didn't leave immediately after handing over the items. He leaned against the door and peeked.
Seeing that Divine Doctor Qin was about to be put on the torture tool, his eyelids twitched.
He rolled his eyes and carefully retreated.
The moment he left the gate of the Supreme Court, he hurriedly told the driver who was waiting for him,"Something…something big has happened!"
