Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"can."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, said in a deep voice.

"Which one is the village chief?"

"Take the two of them to the Liaoshan County Government Office on the same level as me, and don't follow the others."

Wei Ting spoke again.

The scene is the testimony of Fang Yuan's enslavement of the common people, which cannot be missed.

Naturally, he was pointing at Ah Lei and Gouzi, both of whom were injured, which was the most direct witness.

"I, I am."

The village chief walked out with his hands raised.

Aleigh and Gouzi followed behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Wei Ting nodded and said softly.

The stern face also showed a little tenderness.

"Three censors, please come here!"

Lin Yangbo walked out in time to lead the way for Wei Ting and others.

Tang Lin nodded, and was the first to follow, followed by everyone else.

After a while, everyone turned to Liaoshan County Government Office, Du Miaoyan and Wang Yushi also followed.

In fact, quite a few villagers from Sanjia Village also came along, who on the way exposed Fang Yuan to be tried by the censor, and attracted another group of people.

At this time, the Liaoshan county government office can be said to be crowded with people, all crowded outside the gate.

"Fang Inspector, I and others represent the imperial court to interrogate you, I hope you don't feel wronged."

Wei Ting sat at the trial desk.

Later on the two sides are Li Shuang and Tang Lin, who are also sitting.

As for Fang Yuan, he stood in the place where he should be a prisoner, facing the three censors.

As for the others, except for the master recorder who was still sitting, they all stood outside the courtyard.

"I am not guilty for the time being, and my rank is above all of you, so I should not stand."

"Zheng Jiu, move the stool."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Jiu squeezed in from outside the yamen.

He looked around the audience and walked straight to the master.

"stand up."

Zheng Jiubing said coldly.

Seeing that the master was still stunned, he directly picked up the other party, removed the stool, and placed it behind Fang Yuan's back.

"you you......"

The chief secretary pointed at Zheng Jiu, blushing with anger.

But seeing Fang Yuan's sullen face, his county magistrate didn't speak, he didn't dare to continue.

The three of Wei Ting watched and frowned, but they didn't say much about it.

"let's start."

Fang Yuan sat down and said calmly.

"Let's first try the crime of enslaving the people and returning to farming without a bottom line."

"Witness witness Lin Yangbo."

Wei Ting said loudly.

Outside the courtyard, Lin Yangbo slowly stepped forward.

Fang Yuan looked indifferent, not surprised by this witness.

"My official, Lin Yangbo, magistrate of Liaoshan County, everything I said in the official hall is true."

"On the sixth day of September in the second year of Zhenguan, Fang Inspector Fang summoned the Inspector's Prefect Shi and the magistrates of the three counties to discuss the resumption of farming."

"At the meeting, Governor Fang asked the county magistrates of our three counties to resume farming at all costs, even if it means enslaving the people."

"The county magistrates of my three counties refused at first, but Governor Fang forced me to suspend my duties again. We can only obey orders obediently. The magistrates of the other two counties can testify to this matter."

Lin Yangbo saluted Wei Ting and the others, and said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, the people at the gate of the yamen were in an uproar.

Some people in Sanjia Village discussed and accused Fang Yuan.

"Fang Inspector, is what Lin County Magistrate said true?"

Wei Ting looked at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

"Not true."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

"Then submit the minutes of the meeting."

Wei Ting frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

What Lin Yangbo said may be false.

What Fang Yuan said could also be false.

But the minutes of the meeting can prove who is real and who is not.

"Last night, someone broke into the governor's mansion, injured three state officials, and burned the meeting minutes."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, they were all prepared.

After the words fell, everyone at the scene was in an uproar again.

Lin Yangbo sneered, and glanced at Fang Yuan from the corner of his eyes.

Du Miaoyan began to worry about Fang Yuan, and unconsciously clenched her hands.

Wang Yushi on the side noticed and held Du Miaoyan's fist.

"So coincidentally?"

Wei Ting frowned even deeper.

"What a coincidence to burn the minutes of the meeting?"

"Does Governor Fang think that I will believe you later?"

Tang Lin interrupted and shouted loudly.

"It's such a coincidence."

"Believe it or not is a matter for the three of you."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Then send witnesses: Sanjia Village Chief, Villager Alei, and Villager Gouzi."

Wei Ting pondered for a moment, took a deep look at Fang Yuan, and then passed on witnesses.

If the minutes of the meeting were burned, it would not be possible to determine the authenticity of Lin Yangbo's test. At this time, a third-party testimony is required.

Chapter 69

The village head of Sanjia Village, A Lei and Gou Zi walked out one after another.

"The head of Sanjia Village, please explain the situation of your village's re-cultivation."

Wei Ting asked.

The voice softened slightly.

"Yesterday, the county lord came here yesterday and said that he followed the call of the governor and resumed farming with us."

"But, but the county lord and the yamen servants didn't help, but watched us work, and whipped us if we were negligent."

The village chief said with a trembling voice.

Above the court, he felt scared from the bottom of his heart.

"Gouzi, please tell me about your injuries."

Wei Ting nodded, looked at Gouzi and asked.

"Yesterday, the county officials went too far. They whipped Lei Ge twice, and they didn't treat the villagers of our Sanjia Village as human beings."

"I was so angry that I was planning to go to Liaozhou City overnight with a few villagers to find the Lord Inspector to sue them, but was caught and beaten on the way. The three Lords, I guess the Inspector must not want to enslave us, he... ...."

Gouzi has a loud voice and is much more courageous.

He has the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, even if he is seriously injured, he is still full of vitality.

"Okay, I'm just asking you the truth, not your guess."

Tang Lin spoke suddenly, interrupting Gouzi's continuation.

He turned his head to look at Fang Yuan, and asked with a questioning tone: "Fang Inspector, what do you have to explain?"

Wei Ting frowned slightly, but didn't speak, and looked at Fang Yuan silently.

"What does the officer need to explain?"

"The matter of Sanjia Village was all done by County Magistrate Lin."

Fang Yuan didn't think so, and asked back.

"Three censors, what I do is to follow the orders of the lord governor, please be careful."

Lin Yangbo interrupted, calmly.

"Inspector Fang, you are so courageous to openly..."

Tang Lin was furious, pointed at Fang Yuan and wanted to reprimand him.

But at this moment, Wei Ting stretched out his hand to interrupt his follow-up.

He immediately seemed to be choked, his face flushed slightly, he snorted coldly and did not continue.

"Since we can't prove the truth, let's wait for the two county magistrates from Yushe County and Hepingcheng County to come and convict this crime."

"Are the witnesses who prosecuted Fang's crimes of abuse of power, occupation of houses, corruption and bribery present?"

Wei Ting patted the gavel and said in a deep voice.

As soon as the voice fell, there was an immediate response from the crowd.

"exist!"

"Xie Wenyu from the Xie family in Liaozhou, there is a certificate!"

someone shouted.

The crowd of people slowly moved out of the way.

Xie Wenyu walked out, and Pei Yonghui followed behind.

But Xie Wenyu walked under the court, Pei Yonghui just walked to the front of the crowd, and stopped in front of Du Miaoyan and Wang Yushi.

"Yushi, we meet again."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, you are much more beautiful."

Pei Yonghui looked at Wang Shiyu with obsession in his eyes.

A few days ago, he suddenly learned that Du He was a daughter, her real name was Du Miaoyan.
