Chapter 320
The onlookers looked surprised, and they told the county that Shuntian Mansion really got the county magistrate here.

In Daming, the case of the people suing the government only appeared in Hong Wunian, and it was only heard of all the time, but today it can be regarded as an experience!
No matter what the outcome is, being able to witness this case with his own eyes will give him some bragging rights after he goes back, and he will have a lifetime of conversations.

Under the leadership of the guards, Wang Ying, the county magistrate, walked slowly into the lobby.

He didn't even bother to take a look at those so-called "plaintiffs", but walked straight past them and saluted: "Xiaguan Changping County Magistrate Wang Ying, I pay my respects to Mr. Fuyin!"

Wu Zhide asked: "Wangzhi County, do you know why the government called you here overnight?"

Wang Ying shook her head lightly and said, "I don't know."

Wu Zhide said again: "There are 15 people including Xie Jin, who jointly sued you for unfairly adjudicating the case and framing Liu San in Wangjiazhuang. Is there such a thing?"

Wang Ying suddenly laughed, and he glanced at Xie Jin and the others contemptuously, and said, "The case of Liu San in the Wangjiazhuang was tried by the government, and Liu San's family member died, but he framed others with the intention of extorting money. The evidence of the case is conclusive, and it is said that the lower officials judged the case unfairly, where do you start?"

Seeing the smug smile on his face, Xie Jin couldn't help saying loudly: "Nonsense, it's clear that you took Wang Shichang's favor and framed Liu San together with him!"

"That's right, Liu San's sister and old lady were all killed by that Wang Shichang. It has been spread for a long time."

"Liu San went to sea this time and paid a full 500 taels of silver. How could he blackmail others?"

"It is said that you and that Wang Shichang belong to the same family. If this case is fair, then it would be strange!"

Seeing all the crew members talking to you and me, they were extremely excited, but a smile appeared on the corner of Wang Ying's mouth.

Even if you have been to sea and seen the world, so what?
At the end of the day, you're still just a bunch of mud legs, what are you fighting against me with?

Sure enough, Wu Zhide slapped the gavel again, and said angrily: "The government has said that only representatives will be sent to speak, and the others will wait aside temporarily. They are not allowed to speak without asking questions! If you hear someone making noise again, immediately drive out of the lobby!"

Xie Jin had no choice but to say: "Yes, I will only follow the orders of Lord Fu Yin!"

Only then did Wu Zhide continue the trial: "The government has heard what you said just now, Xie Jin, you said that Wang Zhi County took Wang Shichang's benefits, do you have evidence?"

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It must be him..."

Snapped!
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a gavel.

"It must be, it must be, you say it is? The government will ask you again, is there any evidence?"

Xie Jin looked distressed, so he could only say: "For now...no!"

Wu Zhide continued: "Okay, just now someone said that Liu San's sister and mother were killed by that Wang Shichang. Is there any evidence for this?"

"This...all the villagers in Wangjiazhuang know about it."

"is it?"

Wu Zhide sneered, and said: "The files we have seen, but there are thirteen villagers from Wangjiazhuang who testified that the death of Liu San's sister and old lady has nothing to do with Wang Shichang!"

"My lord, there must be something wrong with this, they must be... must be..."

When Xie Jin said this, unconsciously, his voice became lower and lower.

A playful smile appeared on Wu Zhide's face, and he said, "So there is no evidence?"

Xie Jin looked very depressed, and said: "Not yet..."

"I seem to have heard someone say that Wang Zhixian and the squire Wang Shichang belong to the same family. You suspect that they are closely related and colluding with each other, don't you?"

Xie Jin seemed to see hope, nodded again and again, and said: "This matter is true, Mr. Fu Yin can investigate it as much as possible!"

"What nonsense!"

Wu Zhide suddenly lowered his face and said angrily: "Wang Zhixian's ancestral home is Linfen, Shanxi. He was orthodox for ten years in the imperial examination. He was appointed as a Jinshi and rank by the emperor, and was appointed as the county magistrate of Changping. He has nothing to do with that Wangjia Village. How dare you frame the court like this?" Commander, do you still have the law in your eyes?"

Xie Jin's face turned pale, and he murmured: "No, no, it's not like this..."

Snapped!
Wu Zhide slapped the gavel again, and said, "Xie Jin, are you convicted?"

Xie Jin was even more at a loss as to what to do. They came to sue to stand up for Liu San, but they didn't expect that they would end up like this.

All the rumors are not true, or there is no evidence, this... what to do?
Wu Zhide turned around slowly, looked at Peng Qing, and said with a smile: "Master Peng, do you think the lower officials have complied with the laws and regulations during the trial of this case?"

Peng Qing's face was extremely ugly, he rolled up his sleeves, and was about to speak, but saw Wu Zhide stepping back subconsciously.

"Master Peng, this is the lobby of Shuntian Mansion, everyone is watching, and the people outside the hall are still watching, you...don't mess around!"

Peng Qing sighed and said, "It's careless!"

Wu Zhide was puzzled and asked, "What's the big deal?"

"I didn't expect you to be well-prepared. It's going to be as difficult as the sky after all!"

He said these words because he felt that if the officials joined hands, ordinary people would not have the strength to compete with them.

Think about it, who are the people who can be officials?

The imperial examinations are held every three years in the Ming Dynasty. Students from all over the country fight to the end. There are only [-] places on the list. In such a competitive environment, all those who can be left are the best of the best.

As far as the current case is concerned, Peng Qing has also done some investigations. Whether it is Liu San's personality or the clues provided by insiders, it is enough to prove that the murderer is Wang Shichang.

However, he used methods, perhaps bribery, or coercion, to get the villagers to give false testimony.

This is the crux of the problem. You clearly know that there are problems with these testimonies, but you have no evidence!
The most important thing in adjudicating a case is to talk about evidence, and it is understandable for Shuntian Mansion to use evidence to speak.

As for Wang Ying, as the magistrate, how could he not know what Wang Shichang did?
Even all of this may be his plan behind the scenes.

The current situation is that the magistrate and the murderer are colluding, and the governor said that I only look at the evidence, so Liu San can only die in vain!

Peng Qing was very helpless, he thought things too simply.

With Xie Jin these people, there is no way to fight with them.

When the case is over, not only Liu San will die, but Qiuhou will also settle the matter of beating someone in the street.

At that time, the title of cabinet bachelor will definitely be lost.

He was not worried about these false names, but felt a little sorry for the emperor.

The emperor trusted himself so much, but in the end, he messed up the matter...
