Chapter 326 - 323: Sentencing According to the Law_1
Magistrate Zhou, thinking of Bai Qingyan’s threat to accuse him in front of the Crown Prince, hurriedly held the dossier high above his head.
"Princess, your criticism is correct. It’s not that I don’t want to stand up for the people, but every time the Bai Clan prepares thoroughly, and I can only act according to Jin’s laws."
"Over the years, I have worked tirelessly. Finally, the heavens did not disappoint me. I found evidence in some cases of the Bai Clan bribing witnesses and hiring murderers. I request the Princess to see this clearly."
Magistrate Zhou truly was someone who could accurately gauge the wind, making sure to clear his name in the process.
"Uncle Zhou, you are my father’s close friend!" Bai Qingjie widened his eyes.
Magistrate Zhou turned his head and sneered coldly, "I am the parental officer of the people. Who would be friends with a person like your father, who abuses authority? Over the years, I have endured humiliation and disgrace just to find the Bai Clan’s evidence and seek justice for the people."
"You!" Bai Qingjie was furious beyond words.
Bai Qingyan’s indifferent and scornful gaze fell on Bai Qingjie. She said to Magistrate Zhou, "In that case, I trust Magistrate Zhou will handle everything impartially. Investigate thoroughly who hired murderers in Shuoyang City, who engaged in forced buying and selling, who abducted women, and who committed murder. Every single case must be examined meticulously, with no favoritism."
