I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

The saucer was stunned.

Only then did I remember that His Majesty had said that this time, everything would be arranged by the Duke of Wei.

But after arriving at Songshan, all matters were handled by Fang Yiyi.

In addition, he had been receiving training from Fang Yiyi before.

Let them get used to taking Fang Yiyi as the leader.

Chapter 531 The murderer's entire family has been captured, and Duke Wei is invited to judge

The main hall of Songyang County Government.

The magistrate of Songyang County, also known as Mingfu Zheng Huanran, was standing in a corner of the hall with sweat all over his forehead.

He looked at Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the main seat, calm and silent.

Then he looked at the local nobles in the hall, whom he had to treat with respect whenever he met them in the past.

There was only a bitter smile on his face.

Ximen Lin, the patriarch of the Ximen clan in Songyang, had a gloomy face, anger in his eyes, and looked at Fang Xuanling anxiously.

"Duke Wei, it's been more than two quarters of an hour, why haven't you seen my son yet?"

"Duke Wei, it is completely nonsense that Ximen Dalang assassinated Fang Sanlang."

"That's right, that's right. This is clearly a frame-up. If you believe it and spread it out, the world will laugh at you."

......

The supporting actor Ximen Lin found, after Ximen Lin spoke again, kept saying the same old sayings that Fang Xuanling had heard so many times.

Fang Xuanling didn't say anything.

Another moment passed!

Ximen Lin could no longer sit still. He threw his sleeves and shouted angrily:

"The Duke of Wei's reputation as a virtuous man has spread all over the world."

"Today, I can't tell right from wrong. How can I be called a virtuous man?"

"He is just a fraud who steals the reputation and works for nothing!"

The people around shuddered when they heard these shameless words.

I won’t support the main actor anymore!

Ximen Lin said to Zheng Huanran:

"Mingfu Zheng, you are the official in charge of Songyang!"

"My son has been framed. Please come forward to solve the case and clear my son's name."

This is meant as a threat.

Zheng Huanran was also roasted over the fire.

Zheng Huanran cursed in his heart:

"You bastard, you are trying to harm me!"

"The Duke of Wei is here. I am just a small county magistrate. If I dare to show my head, I will die!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Huanran glanced quietly at the main seat.

Just happened to meet Fang Xuanling's half-smile gaze.

Zheng Huanran was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Just now Fang Xuanling didn't move at all, just closed his eyes to rest, but now he opened his eyes.

As the magistrate of Songyang County, although he was a branch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he still had some status in the clan.

His clan had sent him a message, asking him to cooperate with the Duke of Wei in everything.

In this situation, Zheng Huanran frowned and said seriously:

"Patriarch Ximen, what you said is unfair."

"The Duke of Wei is the Duke of the current dynasty, and he is also the Minister of the Left!"

"How could he be a person who just sits in office and does nothing?"

"You'd better think twice and quickly apologize to Duke Wei and seek his forgiveness."

"Otherwise, according to the interest rate, you will be convicted of blasphemy and sentenced to one and a half years in prison!"

Ximen Lin's face froze. He didn't expect that Zheng Huanran, who had always stood on the Ximen family's side, would not even try to smooth things over and instead sell him out!

Just as he was about to speak again, he saw Zheng Huanran blinking at him twice.

Only then did he come to his senses.

It’s bad. I kept asking and urging him, but Fang Xuanling didn’t say anything or express his opinion. He was like a soft persimmon.

He was so eager to save his son that he waited for so long that he completely forgot that the person in front of him was the Duke of the current dynasty and a close minister to His Majesty.

Moreover, his wife is the legitimate daughter of the Lu family of Fanyang.

He is also considered a leader among the nobles.

It was totally not something that a local noble like him could slander.

Ximen Lin's face turned pale and he bowed to Fang Xuanling with his arms crossed.

Just as he was about to apologize and seek Fang Xuanling's forgiveness.

A Snow Leopard Guard strode into the county government office.

The Snow Leopard Guard, with sparkling eyes, bowed to Fang Xuanling and said loudly:

"Reporting to Duke Wei, we have found out who assassinated Sanlang."

"He led his soldiers to capture the murderer's entire family, leaving no one behind."

"Please ask Duke Wei to judge!"

Chapter 532 Fang Xuanling, what are you doing? ! Aren’t you afraid of being criticized by scholars all over the world?

Simon Lin was overjoyed and said quickly:

"Duke Wei, the thief has been captured. Can you release my son?"

Fang Xuanling slowly spoke his first words after entering the county government office.

"Have all the people been arrested?"

The Snow Leopard Guard glanced around the main hall and took out a booklet from his arms.

He just acted as if no one was around and was flipping through the booklet, comparing the people in the main hall with those in the booklet.

This action left everyone dumbfounded.

At the same time, he instantly realized what was going on.

The patriarch of the Zhengzhou Song family turned pale and stammered:

"Wei, Duke Wei, what does this mean?"

The other clan leaders and clan members also sensed something was wrong.

They all looked around nervously.

Finally, all eyes fell on Zheng Huanran and Zheng Mingfu.

Zheng Huanran also understood something at this moment.

When he thought of the letter from his family elder Zheng Jihong again, his eyes changed instantly and he became panic-stricken.

Songyang!

No, it’s the weather in Henan Province that’s going to change!

Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, just watched the Snow Leopard Guard take action.

After a few breaths, the Snow Leopard Guard put away the booklet and saluted again:

"Reporting to Duke Wei, everyone is confirmed to be here!"

His face was stern, and the majesty of the prime minister of the current dynasty was revealed. He said in a cold voice:

"Why are there still prisoners who have not been tied up?"

"What crime will you be charged with if you let the prisoner escape?"

The Snow Leopard Guard quickly shouted, "Come here, tie up all the prisoners!"

Wow!

Of the one hundred guards who were supposed to accompany Fang Yiyi, more than twenty of them rushed in directly.

Without saying a word, he tied up all the clan leaders and clan members in the field.

The sudden change made everyone panic and angry.

As a member of the noble family, he had a high status.

In the past, they would kidnap whoever they wanted.

Now it's their turn.

I have never been treated like this before.

"Fang Xuanling, you are so bold."

"How dare you use public property for personal gain? You are courting death!"

"I am from the Cao family of Xuzhou. You arrested me for no reason. Even if you are a duke, you cannot escape the blame!"

"Fang Xuanling, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid of being criticized by scholars all over the world?"

......

Fang Xuanling ignored these people and stretched out his hand. Fang Liu beside him respectfully handed a thick booklet to him.

After Fang Xuanling opened it, he said loudly:

"Songyang Ximen clan assassinated the son of the Duke of the current dynasty, annexed more than 3,000 acres of land, killed 174 innocent people, and exterminated three clans."

"The Song family of Zhengzhou has annexed more than 2,400 acres of land, killed 94 innocent people, framed the governor of Zhengzhou and put him in prison, bribed the jailer to kill loyal people, and the whole family should be executed!"

"The Zhang family of Songyang has annexed more than 4,300 acres of land, killed more than 300 innocent people, and robbed four local wealthy merchants. The entire family should be executed!"

......

As Fang Xuanling read out the stories one after another.

The people who were tied up in the hall were all speechless and looked panic-stricken.

After Fang Xuanling finished reading the contents of the booklet.

He looked at the desperate, pale and panicked people in the hall and shouted loudly:

"As local nobles, you should pass down poetry and literature to benefit the local people."

"But those who oppress the people, annex land, persecute loyal people, rob people, and kill people are truly heinous crimes. Death is not enough to atone for their crimes!"

"Come here, drag them out, parade them in the street, and publicize their crimes to the people!"

"Three days later, I, Fang Xuanling, will, on behalf of Your Majesty, behead the criminal and display his head to the public, to give justice to the people!"

"Here!"

The Snow Leopard Guards and all the soldiers obeyed the order in unison.

Ximen Lin and the others all closed their eyes in despair.

suddenly!

Ximen Lin looked at Zheng Huanran with hope in his eyes.
