The best county magistrate

Chapter 11 Deciding the Case

"How dare you! I am the number one lawyer in Qingzhou..."

Before Fang Huajing could finish his words, he was kicked down by Zhang Biao, and then the government officials hit him on the buttocks with water and fire sticks.

"Over there, don't stop, Wang Mang still owes me thirty yuan!"

The clattering sound and the screams of the two men formed a beautiful melody in the court, which made the people in the hall open their mouths in shock.

After finishing the game, Fang Huajing was already breathing more out and less in. He took a strong breath and roared angrily.

"Guan Guan, I, Fang Huajing, will not let you go!"

Bang, the white ticket landed.

"Everyone heard it. This hairy guy threatened me."

"Zhang Biao, slap me and throw him out."

Zhang Biao rolled up his sleeves, picked up the white sign on the ground, and walked over with a smile that frightened Fang Huajing.

Yang Xuanchen's actions really shocked Wei Junzhi who was hearing the trial in the second hall. He had a premonition that Yang Xuanchen would act recklessly, but he did not expect that he would be able to act recklessly to this extent.

The first lawyer in Qingzhou was telling you about the law, but you just asked someone to get slapped on the wall, and even asked Zhang Biao to slap him in the face.

God of lawlessness, he was really worried that the governor of Qingzhou would do something to Yang Xuanchen if he found out.

Seeing that the people were quiet and feeling relieved, Yang Xuanchen finally began to interrogate the case.

"Wang Mang, I want to ask you, do you know your guilt?"

Wang Mang hunched over and endured the severe pain, but his tone remained firm, "Sir, we know that ordinary people are not guilty."

Yang Xuanchen laughed and clapped his hands, "Here, bring the accuser Chen Song."

Wang Mang looked confused. Didn't he say that he bribed the court official? When did there be an additional plaintiff, and it was Chen Song!

At this time, he seemed to have forgotten the pain, and a look of panic appeared on his face.

"Chen Song, a common man, pays homage to the county magistrate."

Yang Xuanchen waved his hand and raised a lawsuit from the public case, "Chen Song, tell me."

So, Chen Song knelt on the stone at the center of the palace and recounted what he saw and heard in the private house in the north of the city that day.

The people in the hall burst into uproar and exploded again. They did not expect that Chen Zhi from the blacksmith shop was actually poisoned to death, and that it was Wang Mang who was ordered by Qian Daguan to do it.

Official Qian suddenly became the target of public criticism. He murdered his wife and embezzled his family property. This was a capital crime!

While the people were discussing, Yang Xuanchen summoned Zhang Biao to come closer.

"Brother Biao, let me know. If Qian Youde wants to run away, let the brothers kidnap him directly to the county government."

"Let the brothers from the fast class sneak into the crowd and dig out all the gangsters from the Copper Coin Gang, waiting to be punished."

Zhang Biao received the order and went to make arrangements in a hurry.

Yang Xuanchen knocked on the gavel tree, "Quiet."

"Chen Song, do you have any evidence?"

Chen Song raised his head and looked at Yang Xuanchen with confusion on his face, thinking, where the hell did I get the physical evidence?

"Grass people...Grass people..." He faltered for a long time without coming up with a reason.

"No grass people!"

Yang Xuanchen closed his eyes and patted his forehead. He forgot to tell him yesterday.

"You have!"

Chen Song was worthy of being a martial arts practitioner, and he didn't even think about it, "Grandfather, no!"

Yang Xuanchen slapped the crowd with a look of disdain, "You can have this!"

"Come here, bring the witness, Miaorentang guy Li Dazhu!"

Faced with Li Dazhu's confession and the evidence collected from Miaorentang, Wang Mang was not only confused but also panicked.

"Sir, the common people were wronged. It was Qian Youde who instigated the common people to do it."

Yang Xuanchen said coldly: "Wang Mang, there are both personal and physical evidence. According to the laws of Dayan, you are a capital offender."

Then he changed the topic and said, "But God also has good intentions. If you can help me, report and expose Qian Youde's crimes, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence."

Seeing that there was still a chance of improvement, Wang Mang ignored the injury to his hip and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Yang Xuanchen walked down the hall from behind the public case with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Wang Mang coldly, then passed him and walked in front of the people.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Fellows and fellow villagers in Qingshui County, this case will be postponed for five days for retrial."

"Starting today, if you have a lawsuit to file, the county government will still provide free lawsuit writing services."

"It's all gone."

"Retire!"

With the sound of retreating drums, the crowd began to slowly disperse. Yang Xuanchen looked at their leaving figures and couldn't help but have questions in his heart.

Today's entire process went smoother than expected.

Is this the calm before the storm?

He shook his head and was about to turn around when he caught a glimpse of a woman wearing a green shirt holding a long sword. Could it be her?

Yang Xuanchen laughed at himself, wondering if he was too worried.

After the crowd dispersed, he walked over to Fang Huajing, who was lying like a dead dog in front of the yamen, "Hey, Qingzhou's number one lawyer? Let's talk?"

"Dog...Guan Gu, no...well, there's nothing to talk about." Fang Huajing was still very stubborn.

Yang Xuanchen smiled and continued: "It's okay for you to lie down at the yamen gate alone. If you die, it will be my fault."

He turned around and shouted to the yamen, "Come here with a few people, carry Brother Fan in, and find a doctor to come over and give him some medicine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Si from Liujiacun ran to the yamen gate in sweat.

"Master! No...it's not good!"

Yang Xuanchen was shocked. The salt fields in Liujiacun were the treasures of Qingshui County and even Dayan, so nothing could happen to them.

"What's wrong? What happened?" he asked.

Liu Si in front of him grinned, "Master, there is no place to put salt in the village. The seaside is too wet, and we are afraid that the salt produced will spoil."

Yang Xuanchen almost gave him a slap in the face. Grandma's bear was so scary that she thought it was a big deal.

"It's okay, you can find Wei later..."

He frowned, Wei Junzhi and Zhang Biao had both been assigned tasks, and now there was no one available for them, and their heads were heavy.

Yang Xuanchen thought for a while and continued: "In this case, go in with me, arrange some people for you, and go to the village to transport the salt to the county government later."

After sending Liu Si away, Yang Xuanchen came to the cell.

Wei Junzhi was recording a confession for Wang Mang, and Zhang Biao was practicing boxing using the Copper Coin Gang members as sandbags.

Looking at the busy two people, Yang Xuanchen could only smile helplessly. It seemed that he was going to recruit some people, and there would be more and more things going on in the future.

It's okay for the county government servants to do chores, so let's forget about letting them shoulder heavy responsibilities.

I urgently need some smart intellectuals, and it would be better if there are a few people with strong martial arts skills.

At this time, a Yamen servant who was sent to camp outside Qian's Mansion came back.

Panting heavily, he came to Yang Xuanchen and said, "Master, there is something going on in the Qian Mansion. The steward... Li Yang rode a horse out of the city through the back door."

"The direction he is looking at is... heading towards Linjiang City."

Yang Xuanchen patted his shoulder and asked him to drink some water and rest, "Where is Qian Youde?"

"Sir, Qian Youde is still in the house and has not gone out."

Yang Xuanchen called Wei Junzhi and Zhang Biao over and gave an order in a serious tone.

"Gather the troops, go to the Qian Mansion, and seize the money to be virtuous!"
