The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

Chen was the most excited among the crowd.

When they hear someone speaking for the Lin family and try to figure out the hidden meaning behind it, they will make a few remarks in rebuttal, leading people to think in a biased way.

"If the government comes to arrest someone, they must have solid evidence. The Lin family hasn't done anything wrong, so why would they go to him?"

"Anyone who knows how to take care of herbs must know something about pharmacology. The Lin family captured bandits twice before and received a reward of thirty taels of silver. Wasn't it because of drugs? How could ordinary people have such means?"

"Those who look honest and kind may not be really honest and kind! They even dare to beat up the yamen runners who came to their door. The Lin family has a vicious temper! You dare to speak in their favor at this time. Do you think your life is too comfortable?"

He single-handedly made the unpleasant noises around him disappear.

Chen looked at the four members of the Lin family, mother and son, who were already kneeling in the lobby of the yamen awaiting trial, then looked at the two large and fierce groups of people kneeling on the other side, and sneered.

The Lin family’s good days are over.

The drumbeats of the opening ceremony sounded, shaking people's hearts.

The garrison commander Yang Fu hurried out from the back hall, with cold sweat on his forehead and an abnormally pale face.

He sat behind the hearing table and looked at the person kneeling below, and the sweat on his forehead became more frequent.

"Master, please explain the case." The gavel was banged and the trial began.

The two cases were tried together.

One is that six families in the town accused the Lin family of poisoning and murder, causing the men in their families to have rotten hands and feet and their lives to be ruined.

Second, the Zhang family of Shangdong Village sued the Lin family for defrauding them with Baixiangcao, plotting to break off the relationship between the Zhang family and their daughter and grandson and to deprive the Zhang family of all their assets.

Before the Lin family could even open their mouths to protest, they heard the master slam the gavel again and look at the six families with heavy eyes. "The government has a record of this matter. The men in your family have been wandering the streets of Wutong Town for years, stealing and bullying the people. They have a long history of bad deeds! Before you sue me, I have something to ask you."

"Those six people usually hang out in the streets of the town, and most of the town residents know them. Why did they all appear at the same time in a barren mountain about ten miles away from the town? There is no one living in that barren mountain, and usually only people going to the market or doing business in the town would pass by. What do they want?"

"Also, the case file records that after the gangsters got into trouble, the police investigated and collected evidence near the scene of the incident. They also repeatedly questioned the victim and your family members, but because they could not get any clues, the case became an unsolved case. Why did you change your confession after so many days? Why did you insist that it was the Lin family who did it? How did the victim, who was rotten and speechless, tell you the truth?"

"If you can't answer, I will convict you of false accusations of contempt for the law! Once you have a criminal record, you'll have to think carefully about the impact on the rest of your family! Should we sue or not?"

The six families who filed the lawsuit looked at each other and immediately became timid.

This scene is completely different from what they imagined.

They gathered together to file a complaint, but why did the adults not even look at the defendants and started to try them first?

They just couldn't answer the question of how the brat at home told them the truth.

How can a person who can't write, can't speak, and even moves with difficulty tell others clearly who the murderer is?

Thinking of the consequences of failure, the six families turned pale and were so frightened that they dared not speak a word.

"Hmph!" The sound of the gavel seemed to hit people's hearts directly, making them tremble with fear. "Someone! Beat them! Beat them until they tell the truth!"

Wei Dianshi was also watching the trial in the hall. Seeing that something was not right, he shouted with a sullen face, "Sir Yang! Are you trying to force him to confess?"

The tone contained a threat.

Yang Fu glanced at him calmly and said, "Wei Dianshi, although you are an official in the county government, this is Wutong Town. As the local official of Wutong Town, I am more familiar with local cases than you. I know how to try cases, maintain justice, and restore innocence. It is not Wei Dianshi's turn to comment!"

"You!" Wei Dianshi was humiliated in public and his face turned blue with anger, but he could do nothing about it.

Soon, the sound of a board hitting flesh was heard in the hall.

Screams and wails rang out one after another.

Soon someone couldn't stand it anymore and begged for mercy, "Sir, sir! Spare my life, sir, I confess everything!"

"Someone gave us silver and told us to testify that the Lin family of Yuxi Village poisoned someone! Fifteen taels of silver were hidden under my bed in my bedroom! I can't lie about a single word!"

"The boy in our family was harmed, and they can't tell us why or by whom... We were wrong, please have mercy on us, sir, and forgive us this time. Oh! Please have mercy on us, sir!"

"It's a pity that the man wore a veil to hide his true face, otherwise I would have caught him! It's all our fault for being blinded by money, spare his life, sir!"

At this point, the first case is basically clear.

Yang Fu looked at the mother and son of the Lin family. "The plaintiff has admitted to falsely accusing you, the Lin family. Do you have any demands?"

Mrs. Lin and her son knelt on one side of the hall, bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, please understand! Our Lin family has always been kind to others and abided by the law. Now you have cleared our name. Everything is up to you!"

None of the four members of the Lin family mentioned the word false accusation.

Although they were unaware of it at first, they later found out that it was indeed their family members who did it.

Their little kid did it.

But they would not blindly sympathize with those people. If they really had to count, they could only say that those thugs deserved it.

If Mr. Hunhun hadn't had evil intentions, Bai Xiang of their family wouldn't have poisoned to protect their father.

Yang Fu nodded, and he felt a little better about the Lin family. "The case of the six families of Zhao, Wang, Li, Sun, Zhang and Liu against the Lin family has been closed. The six families colluded to make a false accusation and were sentenced to three months in prison! Since the six families are the first offenders, and someone in their family has indeed been harmed, they will be given a lighter punishment and exempted from prison, but each will be caned 20 times!"

"Take him away and execute him!"

Another round of caning in class.

The people inside and outside the hall watched with their own eyes as several families' buttocks were beaten to pieces, and they were extremely quiet.

The Zhang family was particularly quiet.

When the beating was over, without waiting for the eldest master in the hall to say anything, all the Zhang family members knelt on the ground, "Sir, our Zhang family will not sue! After all, we were in-laws in the past. Considering the past relationship, our Zhang family will not, will not bother with the Lin family this time!"

Yang Fu narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure you won't sue?"

"No, no, no, we can solve this little dispute between these two families privately! I dare not trouble you any more!"

Hearing that their clansmen were backing out, Zhang Laohan and his family of three were stunned for a moment, then they angrily said, "Who said we won't sue! The Lin family has caused our family to suffer and even used the Hundred Xiang Grass to steal our entire fortune! If they don't give me an explanation for this matter, I will sue them up the chain! I will never give up!"

"What are you suing for? You were the ones who were jealous of the Lin family's Hundred-Angle Grass business. You were the ones who broke off the engagement with your own daughter in order to get the Hundred-Angle Grass! You were the ones who killed the Hundred-Angle Grass. You were the ones who spent all your family's wealth to buy land before you made any money! Which of you was forced by others? In the end, you had the bad luck to go to the Lin family and ask the clan members to support you! In fact, it is your Zhang family that is in the wrong!"

A clan member pointed at Old Man Zhang's nose and cursed, "You still want to sue? Go ahead and sue on your own, don't involve the whole clan! We won't get involved in this mess! You insist on dragging us in, and you want us to get beaten and pay the money together! Zhang Desheng, I'm telling you, the clan members didn't get a single cent from you. If in the end your family brings shame to the entire Zhang clan, I'll tear you apart!"

The false accusation case over there has just been closed, and here the farce has started again.

A family actually had an internal conflict right in the lobby of the government office.

The people who were listening to the trial outside stretched their necks, their eyes sparkling with interest.
