When the whole of Shandong Renji knew about it, and even people from other provinces knew about it, Tang Feng announced on the third day of December that the trial of Kong Xingxie was held in public. After receiving this news, not only Qufu, but also some people from the surrounding prefectures, counties and townships also arrived. They all wanted to see how this imperial envoy gave the people justice.

The weather in December was already very cold, and the north wind blew and poured into people's necks. I wish people could only think about going home and cat, but today everyone was reluctant to worry. Everyone came to the square in front of the county government, waiting to see how the imperial envoy handled the case. Because there were too many people watching, Tang Feng simply set up the location of the case outside the county government government, not the lobby or the second hall, which further reflected his fairness in his actions and the unusualness of the matter. Of course, this was not without the intention of intimidating the Kong family and those scholars who spoke for them.

As soon as Chen Hou arrived, Tang Feng walked to the middle of the venue accompanied by several soldiers. After bowing to the people around him and telling them not to make noise, he slapped the auspicious tree and shouted: "Go to the hall!" The yamen runners in the county immediately shouted mighty, and then brought the defendant Kong Xingxie up.

The prison life in the past few days has tortured Kong Xingxie to a great change. His face was haggard, and he was even more dirty and smelly. He had long lost his previous majesty. Now he made his appearance appear in front of everyone. He wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. However, now it is not a time to care about these details. This case is related to his life wisdom and even the rise and fall of the Kong family, so he had to hold on, hoping that Tang Feng would let him go because of the pressure from all parties. However, looking at the current situation, it seems that this possibility is no longer possible.

"Bang!" The auspicious wood slapped the case heavily, and then Tang Feng secretly used his not-so-enough internal force and said, "Do you know that the person in charge of Kong Xingxie?" The voice spread, so that the people around him could clearly hear the words.

"I have no mistakes. I don't know what the crime is referring to? Lord Tang, you, you have kept my descendants of the saints and Yansheng in prison and humiliated them in prison. This is a serious crime!" At this time, Kong Xingxie had already made up his mind. No matter what Tang Feng said, he would not agree with it. Only in this way can he keep his reputation and the Kong family.

Seeing that Kong Xingxie was very different from the cowards in the prison before, Tang Feng was not angry. He knew that things could not be solved so easily, so he said, "Okay, Kong Xingxie, confessed everything in prison that day, but why did he change his words at this time? You really think that this official is like a fool? It is said that the people's hearts are like iron, and the official law is like a furnace. When this official is punished, you will explain it truthfully, and it will probably be too late!"

"Sir, I really don't know what you asked me to recruit, and sir, don't forget that I am the Yansheng Gong conferred by the court. As the saying goes, if you don't punish me, you can't punish me!" Kong Xingxiequn replied fearlessly. After all, he is not an ordinary citizen without knowledge, and some things are still very clear.

At this time, someone around us started to clamor: "Yes, Lord Tang, you dare to examine the Duke of the current dynasty. You are lawless!" "The Kong family is a scholarly family of generations, how could they do anything wrong? You must be the one who has evil intentions and has made enemies with the Kong family, and then you want to take personal revenge!" "We will not let you exterminate the roots of my scholars!" A series of accusations filled the entire square, and those scholars began to support the Kong family.

Tang Feng's face suddenly darkened, he picked up the agglomeration again and slapped it hard, then shouted: "Shut up all! Otherwise, they would be punished for the crime of roaring the court, and each person would be responsible for fifty boards!" As soon as this was said, it had an immediate effect, and everyone was silent. These scholars dared to shout a few times. It would be impossible for them to sacrifice themselves for others. Seeing that they had already shocked these people, Tang Feng showed a contemptuous smile on his face: "You people always say that he was wronged, so the official will show some evidence to let you see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier walked out with a stack of confessions. Tang Feng put it on the table and said, "These are all the things that the official asked from Kong Xingxie about his killing of Old Man Sun over the past few days. There is also his signature and seal on it. This is not a bit fake."

As soon as he said this, the scholars who were still clamoring just now were speechless, looking at Kong Xingxie one by one, with doubts on his face. If there was a confession, the case would naturally not have changed. Kong Xingxie was panicked when he looked at the confession he had obtained after Tang Feng's question and signed the picture. But then he became aware of: "My Lord Tang, this confession is exactly what I recognize, but it was admitted under the threat of the Lord. In fact, the truth is not the case!"

This sentence aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone: "It turns out that Yan Shenggong was severely tortured in prison and forced the Communist Party to be scolded and wrote down his confession! This imperial envoy was too bold and arrogant to submit a report to the court to punish him for a serious crime of blaspheming the saint and abuse of power!" Someone began to attack Tang Feng again.

At this time, Tang Feng did not rush to stop the people, but waited for them to make a big statement before saying: "You said I had punished him, but there is evidence? You said that slandering the imperial envoy, which is a serious crime. I can drag you down and blame you now. But it seems that you are also out of public intention. I will give you an explanation! The person who came, pull the prisoner's clothes open and let everyone see that there is a trace of torture on his body!"

The scholars were immediately stunned. They didn't expect Tang Feng to do this. If Yan Shenggong really exposed his body in front of everyone, he would be really disgraceful. Everyone wanted to deny this move, but they couldn't think of any excuses. In the moment of being stunned, two soldiers had already strode forward, and once they reached out, they pulled off Kong Xingxie's already dirty fur clothes.

Kong Xingxie also stayed there, and even the cold wind blew on him. He would never have thought that Tang Feng would do such a trick, which would make him bare his arms in front of so many people. As soon as his clothes fell to the ground, he showed his fat and white body, without any inappropriateness. He didn't even have a scar, so he was said to have been tortured.

"It's really a disgrace to this!" The scholars said in their hearts, but they were speechless for a moment. At this time, Tang Feng did not intend to let Kong Xingxie go, but continued: "There is no scar on the upper body. I think everyone will think that I ordered people to tamper with his lower body. Let you see clearly now!"

When Tang Feng asked to order to tear off the lower half of Kong Xingxie's robe, everyone was panicked. Someone immediately said, "Master Tang, we believe you. The government has indeed not tortured Yan Shenggong, so I won't look at the lower half of my body?" The joke was that if even my lower body was exposed in front of everyone, Kong Xingxie would be sentenced to death without trial. He was humiliated and had to commit suicide. Therefore, the scholars and the helpers found by the Kong family had to recognize this fact.

Although other people were happy to see the Yan Shenggong who often bullies him, this was an injustice after all, so everyone stopped talking, but they had greater confidence in their hearts and knew that this time Lord Tang would be able to uphold justice for himself and others.

Tang Feng knew that they would not let him do such a terrible thing, so he did not really order someone to pull off Kong Xingxie's hem, but said, "Okay, since everyone has said that, I will no longer prove my innocence. Come on, bring Sun Dagou, you have already seen the physical evidence, I will let you hear what the human evidence says."

After a while, Sun Dagou was taken to the venue, and then Tang Feng asked him to tell what he had said before. Although Sun Dagou saw so many people a little timid, he still told everything about the incident because of the hatred and support in his heart, saying that the people of the Kong family were so unreasonable, so domineering, and so disregardless of taking their lives and grandfather's lives seriously. These are his personal experiences, and although they did not have much literary talent, they still moved everyone.

The people in Qufu empathized with it. Some people who had been bullied by the Kong family began to scold. If there weren't soldiers around him stopping him, many people might have snatched in and hit Kong Xingxie.

Tang Feng looked at Kong Xingxie, but found that he was kneeling on the ground with no expression on his face. It seemed that the people's scolding did not touch him, and he didn't know how to distinguish. It must have been that he had taken off his shirt in public and gave him a heavy blow. However, Tang Feng would not pity this person. This was his retribution, so he continued to let the two Kong family servants who had already asked for confessions come forward to make confessions. These two were already afraid of being cleansed up by Tang Feng, so he naturally did not dare to hide anything, so he told all his obedience to act like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

There were testimony of the victim, testimony of the accomplice, and Kong Xingxie's own confession. Everything was perfect and could not tolerate anything else. The scholars also saw the situation clearly and knew that they could not help the Kong family now. If they said it, they would be regarded as accomplice of the Kong family, so only the people were cursed at the Kong family on the field.

Seeing that the case was about to be concluded, a noise suddenly came from afar, and then a large group of people came over. First, they were holding a few imperial edicts and Ruyi and other items in their hands. It was the Kong family members who had not shown up.
