In and outside the court, the officials and the people, all of them changed their faces again, becoming more serious than before, because Li Ling's accusation was too serious.

Although Zhuang Hong's crimes mentioned just now are hateful, they are not serious crimes after all. Especially the officials are even more aware of what kind of dirty things are under the cover of the big soy sauce jar in this world. Corruption and bribery have long become a common phenomenon, but most of them have not been exposed... But killing and setting fires are still burning important yamen such as the Gaiku. The crime is too serious, and it is really a big case that loses its head.

Zhuang Hong's face was so gloomy that it could drip into water. He immediately shouted: "Mr. County Master, it's a shameful job! I have never had such an idea, and I dare not do it! The county magistrate and the chief clerk of the king can testify for me!" As he spoke, he quickly winked at his two colleagues.

The two of them also knew that their family was a grasshopper on the same rope, and they spoke one after another: "The county master Mingjian, Zhuang Dianshi is also an official appointed by the court. How could they do such a thing if they know that the law violates the law?"

"Yes, County Master, this is clearly Li Ling's false accusation. This trend must not be opened. Please order him to be taken seriously!"

As the two of them took the lead, the other clerks and servants in the hall followed, all excusing Zhuang Hong and deeming that he could not have done such illegal and disorderly things. In this way, not only the people outside, but also the magistrate Wei also had some doubts and looked at Li Ling and said, "Is there any evidence for this matter you said?"

"Of course there are evidence, and there are witnesses. Last night..." Li Ling also took the initiative and told the story of what happened in the middle of the night. "In the end, Xu Fei was taken away. Captain Lin was the person involved in this matter. If the county respects do not believe it, please ask him, and there are some other county jail servants!"

He could see clearly just now that when almost everyone stood up to testify and expel Zhuang Hong, only Lin Lie stood silently. It was obvious that he was not one-on-one with this immediate boss. So now we need to pull this person aside and lend him to confirm the matter.

Sure enough, when he said this, countless pairs of eyes fell on Captain Lin's face in one go, making him, who had always been calm and capable, tighten his body. At this time, Magistrate Wei also said: "Captain Lin, is what Li Ling said last night true?"

Lin Lie was still thinking a little, but Zhuang Hong was already anxious to shout: "It's such a nonsense, Captain Lin, I remember clearly that you have been working in Liuye Lane last night, so how could you appear in the county government? Don't be fooled by this troublemaker and tell me something that makes people regret it!"

When Li Ling heard him say these words, his heart moved and he felt a little strange. It seemed that the words were inappropriate, but he couldn't understand the truth for a moment. However, after hearing this, Lin Lie's face changed suddenly, and the words to his mouth were swallowed back.

Seeing this, Wei Magistrate asked again: "Catcher Lin, why, do you have any hidden secrets?"

"No, no. Huixianzun, as Zhuang Dianshi said, "I was not in the county government last night, nor did I catch anyone from Xu Fei..."

Li Ling was completely stunned. He really didn't expect Lin Lie to suddenly deny the facts. Didn't you act like a righteous person last night? Didn't you still look like Zhuang Hong was not going to be the same as Zhuang Hong? Why did you suddenly stand with them now?... Too many questions arise from his heart, but he couldn't question the other party on the spot. He could only stare at Lin Lie, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts so much.

The same was also surprised by Wei Magistrate Wei. He had actually seen that Li Ling's accusation must be true, and there were also relevant people who had evidence and physical evidence. But now the evidence suddenly turned against him, what should we do?

Zhuang Hong and others were relieved, and then took the opportunity to fight back: "County Master, Li Ling is clearly accusing the imperial court of appointing officials. According to the law, he should be punished severely!"

"Yes, how can the unlucky people take the words seriously? You should take the careful interrogation first. The official felt that he would have to have some plans for doing all this, and there were even some people behind him to disrupt my Jiangcheng County and give the sluts the opportunity to take advantage of it."

"I've heard that now the Luotian Sect is mostly in our Hengzhou Prefecture..."

These old yamen are all well versed in the routine of frame-up. They even put the crimes and hats of the Luotian Cult rebellion on the plaintiff Li Ling, and they all wanted to beat and kill him. Even the magistrate of Wei County, facing the advice of so many subordinates, was a little panicked. After all, he was still young, and this was the first time he had been releasing a landlord.

On the contrary, Li Ling himself was still calm at this moment, watching them impose all charges on his head, and took a step forward while they were pausing their attacks and whispered: "My County Master, every word that Cao Min said is true! Even if they can hide the witnesses, the scene is still there! You can go to Jiageku to see that there are still traces of last night's vegetable oil! Also, these testimony were also dug out by Cao Min from the many accounts of Jiageku. They were originally there, and if you have any doubts, you can also go there to search together. If what I expected was not bad, Zhuang Hong was to cover up his many crimes, especially to erase the crimes that were more than ten years ago, so that his brother Zhuang Qiang would send someone to burn Jiageku!"

These words immediately reminded the people outside the hall, yes, isn’t the most concerned thing now that everyone is the corruption case that was eighteen years ago? So for a moment, the noise started: “I’ll ask the master to preside over justice for us!”

"You must find out what happened eighteen years ago, it's hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"...

Their call really suppressed the momentum of officials and others again. Zhuang Hong even gave Li Ling a fierce look. This guy was even more difficult than he had judged. If ordinary people had been scared to the point of being attacked by the crowd, they had to admit defeat. But Li Ling was fine, and could still resist, and he took advantage of the public's opinion to turn the momentum back.

Wei Magistrate was also very kind and nodded immediately: "Yes, the accounts and documents in the cabinet warehouse must be carefully investigated, which is related to the welfare of the people in our county. I must investigate them to the end! Zhuang Hong!"

Zhuang Hong was shocked and cried again: "County Master Mingjian, this matter must have been arranged randomly by Li Ling, but this was an old thing more than ten years ago, and it was not so easy to investigate if you really want to investigate. Yes, there is no reason why things more than ten years ago were so easily found. It must have been fabricated by him at will to frame the officials!"

This immediately gave others excuses, and they immediately questioned the authenticity of Li Ling's accusations. Anyway, it was just one thing. The things he said were not accurate. How could an ordinary citizen have investigated so deeply in just a short period of time? They didn't know that this was Li Ling's gain in one night, otherwise they would have insisted that the matter was unreliable.

Li Ling really wanted to tell them - you don't know what professionalism is, what international betting clubs are (tactical backwards) - but these theoretical things are hard to say, and they may not believe them after they say them, and they can only give up in the end.

Both sides had their own opinions, and the scene was completely stalemate. Even if Magistrate Wei was determined, he had no choice at this moment. At this moment, the old man who had been standing behind him bent down gently, leaned into his ear and muttered a few words. This made him finally make a decision, and slapped the awkward: "This series of cases is very important, and I must think carefully before we can make a conclusion. Today's trial will end, and we will retrial it a day!"

This means that he is about to withdraw. Zhuang Hong and others were happy when they saw this, and they felt that the Xin County Magistrate retreated because of the difficulties. Youdao made a concerted effort and then lost all his strength. This is the case in the war, and the same is true for the struggle in the officialdom. Today, he took the initiative by suddenly coming and public trials of the lobby and caught everyone off guard. But when the day comes, everyone is ready to fight, and the situation will be completely different.

After all, these officials are the real masters of the county government. As long as they are unyielding and unanimous, even if the county magistrate is the chief official, they have to give in and be at their disposal. In the end, they can only be at their mercy. If they are disobedient, the previous few exes who have left in a desperate situation will be his best role models!

At this moment, Zhuang Hong even began to show a slightly proud and arrogant smile on his face, and his eyes glanced at Li Ling. After today, he would let this kid know who is the master in Jiangcheng County!

But while the smile on his face was a lifetime, Wei Zhixian said again: "But after all, this case is serious, so the officials involved must temporarily remove all positions in order to avoid suspicion. Just wait for the next trial at home!"

What... In an instant, all the officials were stunned. What is this? Is it just going to dismiss Zhuang Dianshi from his official position and seize power? The county magistrate was anxious and hurriedly said: "County Master, please think twice. Is it inappropriate to dismiss a court official who worked hard and made great contributions for this false crime? "

"What's wrong with it? Isn't this a common example in the Dayue Dynasty?" Wei Magistrate said solemnly, "That is, senior officials in the court, ministers and ministers, as long as they are impeached and have illegal things, they have to listen to the matter at home to avoid being discussed. What's the matter if an eighth-rank official in the county government is going home for trial?"

After saying something, everyone was speechless. Even Li Ling wanted to say admiration. It was really wonderful to retreat as an advance. But he also knew that this plan was obviously not what Wei Magistrate thought of himself, but the advice of the old man behind him. It seemed that this was not a loyal old servant, but Wei Magistrate led his predecessor. From this point of view, there was still a turning point in this matter.
