Chen Qiyu above kept listening with a calm expression, but still couldn't make up his mind.

He already knew the general situation, and the situation was that Bai Shang was transferred to Wan County and was taken down by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, which involved a lot of involvement. Wei Xuelian, the chief of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, believed that Cao Dingjiao had never been involved in the case and did not need to be detained; while Sun Chaoqi believed that Cao Dingjiao was suspected and insisted on detaining first and then dealing with it.

According to the past rules, if a county magistrate commits major corruption, officials of all sizes of a county must be detained and awaited trial. If they find out, then they will be dealt with, but it is obviously not feasible at the moment.

First, the power to investigate, investigate and judge cases is not in Shuntian Prefecture. The Anti-Corruption Bureau only wants to arrest one of them to report. Second, Cao Dingjiao's identity is special, and he is Cao Wenzhao's nephew and Cao Bianjiao's brother. Both of them are generals with a large army, and they are absolute confidants of the emperor. In addition, Cao Dingjiao is the Wan County that the emperor ordered, so it is not that easy to arrest him, let alone there is no evidence.

In addition, he also had a little concern. If Cao Dingjiao was really involved in the case and Wei Xuelian was covering up, if he let him go, his plan would be indispensable in the future.

It was difficult to deal with it, but his heart kept turning.

Zhu Xu roughly understood that Wei Xuelian protected Cao Dingjiao with facts, because once Cao Dingjiao is detained, his career will be affected regardless of whether he is involved in the case in the future. However, Sun Chaoqi was a little rude and would implicate Cao Dingjiao without evidence.

"Is this accident or a manifestation of the conflict between new and old officials?"

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back, looked at the two people in the lobby and muttered to himself.

Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian, and Meng Zhaoxiang are the top leaders in the Zhengyuan. A group of people gathered around them, and there is a tendency to be dissatisfied with the party. The veteran officials dislike these Zhengyuans, and they will not be ruthless if they can suppress them, and gradually form a tacit understanding.

Zhu Xu thought about it, Wei Xuelian and Sun Chaoqi were still arguing, and their arguments gradually deviated. With no evidence, they felt like they were squirting and trying to overwhelm each other with their momentum.

The people rarely see this side of these high-ranking adults. They all open their eyes wide and keep their eyes open, and they hate their parents for not having two ears and two pairs of eyes.

Xiao Yongning lay on the railing, watching with relish, and then whispered to Li Xiangjun: "Look, I'm right, they're fighting..."

Li Xiangjun said 'um', looked at Zhu Xu for a while, then looked up at him, and turned his head again for a while, and continued to lie on the railing, looking at the two people arguing in the lobby.

Chen Qiyu watched the two of them gradually quarrel again and got out of the problem. He slapped the gavel and said in a deep voice: "Enough!"

Wei Xuelian was still not satisfied, so he turned around and raised his hand to signal Chen Qiyu.

Sun Chaoqi snorted coldly, his face still looked unwilling, and turned to Chen Qiyu and said, "Sir, the official insists on taking Cao Dingjiao in custody. If he finds his guilt in the future, he will make arrangements. Now the 'new policy' is like boiling, so the bad sheep cannot be among us!"

When Wei Xuelian heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sir, no! If this happens, wouldn't it ruin others' future for nothing? There should be evidence for the conviction and should not be implicated at will!"

Sun Chaoqi looked firm and his aura remained unabated. He raised his hand and said, "How can I convict me? If there is any, I will correct it. If there is no, I will encourage you. Cao Dingjiao must be detained first, and I will ask the Lord to decide!"

Wei Xuelian looked at Sun Chaoqi and then Chen Qiyu, and suddenly felt uneasy.

Cao Dingjiao is his classmate and close friend, so he cannot ruin his future because of his reasons. His expression changed for a while. He raised his hand to grit his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, Cao Dingjiao is Wan County that the emperor ordered. It would be fine if he was involved in the case. If he was not involved in the case, Shuntian Mansion would destroy his official reputation. At that time, even if the Cao family did not pursue the case, the emperor would pursue it severely to the end for General Cao and Commander Cao!"

Sun Chaoqi's face changed slightly, and he became scared. Cao Dingjiao's identity was indeed extraordinary. Even the princes and nobles dared not commit crimes easily!

But Sun Chaoqi has already reached this point and naturally will not retreat. He turned to Wei Xuelian again and said in a deep voice: "Rareless! Are you threatening Lord Chen? Even if the emperor is standing here today, I will say the same thing! Cao Dingjiao is suspected, so he should investigate and deal with it. How can you ignore it just because you said something? Is it true that your Anti-Corruption Bureau handled the case in this way?"

Wei Xuelian frowned, his eyes flashed, he ignored Sun Chaoqi, and said to Chen Qiyu: "Sir, my Anti-Corruption Bureau is responsible for handling this case. Shuntian Prefecture has no authority and jurisdiction. The subordinate officials will ask if they agree to the Anti-Corruption Bureau to capture Bai Shang. The subordinate officials will not have any psychological problems."

Sun Chaoqi chased after him and said, "Sir, although my Shuntian Prefecture has no authority to govern, it also has the power to supervise. If the Anti-Corruption Bureau commits favoritism and fraud, Shuntian Prefecture will also be implicated. There should be no confusing lawsuits!"

Seeing that the two of them started arguing again, Chen Qiyu made a deep voice: "You must not argue again, let me discuss it and decide later!" As he said that, he stood up and walked towards the hall.

Wei Xuelian and Sun Chaoqi looked at each other, and they all snorted coldly, standing there, each with their own thoughts.

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and saw everything in his eyes.

If according to the old rules, if Sun Chaoqi did not do what he did and the magistrate of one county fell, others would have to be investigated, and there would be no problem of temporarily suspending his post.

Wei Xuelian talks about new rules and serious systems. Without evidence, you cannot do anything randomly, and you cannot open your mouth to determine a person's fate.

He looked up slightly, curious about what Chen Qiyu would do. This matter was very difficult.

If he responded to Sun Chaoqi, he offended him, as the emperor, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew, and more so, Cao Bianjiao's career will definitely be adversely affected, and the consequences will be even more unpredictable. If he responded to Wei Xuelian, he would have to take risks, which would be unfavorable to the unity of Shuntian Prefecture, and would also offend some people.

Chen Qiyu came to the back hall, took a sip of tea in a hurry, and then began to ponder.

Chen Suwen came out from inside, looked at Chen Qiyu's expression and said, "Sir, is it difficult to deal with?"

Chen Qiyu nodded and said, "According to my observation, Cao Dingjiao should not be involved in the case, and I can also respond to Wei Xuelian's request. The problem is that this matter will not be settled."

"Sir, it turns out that this is what I am worried about." Chen Sowen was slightly stunned. He thought Chen Qiyu would be worried about offending the emperor. He thought for a while and said, "Sir, are you worried that this matter will expand?"

Chen Qiyu glanced at him and said, "If Lord Sun refuses to give up, it will be fine if he gets to the Governor's Court. If he goes directly to the cabinet, he may be involved."

Chen Suwen sat down and said in confusion: "Since you know that Cao Dingjiao was not involved, then you will leave it to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Why did you involve Mr. Bi Ge again?"

Chen Qiyu shook his head slightly and said, "Didn't you see it yet? This is a plan set up by someone on purpose. Others don't know the identity of Cao Dingjiao, and Sun Chaoqi is not clear? But he gritted his teeth and walked to this day. It has been more than half a month, and no one from the six cabinets came out to speak. Isn't it strange enough?"

When Chen heard this, he suddenly realized that Cao Dingjiao was a talent appointed by the emperor and a close relative of the Cao family. Many people should have come forward to these relationships.

"Sir, can you tell who it is?" Chen Suwen leaned closer and whispered.

Chen Qiyu pondered for a while and said, "I don't know yet, but the emperor has returned to Beijing, which should have disrupted their plans. I will write a letter to the emperor now. In addition, I plan to give Sun Chaoqi ten days of rest, what do you think?"

Chen Sukhe understood what he meant, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said, "Now there is no one in Wan County, so why not send Lord Sun over there."

Chen Qiyu's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea, just do it!"

As he said that, Chen Qiyu got up and was about to leave, saying, "You go to the Governor's Office in person, meet Prince Jing, and let him control it. Don't make such a big fuss, it's not easy to end."

Chen Suwen nodded and said, "Yes, the official will go now."

Chen Qiyu turned around and came to the lobby again. Before he could sit down, Wei Xuelian said, "Sir, this is up to me..."

Sun Chaoqi hurriedly raised his hand and was about to open his mouth when Chen Qiyu slapped the arbor, and the whole hall was quiet.

Sun Chaoqi and Wei Xuelian put down their hands and bowed slightly.

The people outside stretched their necks, and they knew that this was going to be a "judgment".

Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun both put down their hands from the railing, with a serious face and wide eyes.
