In the prefect's mansion, Xu Kang and Ci Mei were busy going back and forth, while Gong Yinglian was sitting aside and watching helplessly, with a Mona Lisa-like smile on her lips.

"I think this is good?" Ci Mei's tone revealed excitement and pride.

"This is too popular." Xu Kang was a little dissatisfied.

"Red represents happiness, how could it be bad?"

"I'm going to kill someone tomorrow."

"What does that have to do with it?" Ci Mei said disapprovingly: "Actually, the purple ones are the best. Purple represents nobility, but it's a pity that we don't have them."

"You are talking nonsense. Purple clothes can only be worn by high-ranking officials. Who else dares to buy such a thing? Where can we get it?" Xu Kang also picked up a piece of clothing and gestured. It turned out that the two of them were actually

Debating over what to wear.

Gong Yinglian finally couldn't bear the two people's nonsense and said: "What on earth are you doing?"

Xu Kang pretended to be surprised and said: "Don't you see? Looking for clothes. Tomorrow I will go on stage to publicly interrogate those illegal businessmen. Of course, I have to choose a good dress and have a good influence on the people of Xiangping.

OK."

"Yes." Ci Mei also said excitedly: "Miss, what do you think of this dress I picked?"

Gong Yinglian ignored her and said: "If you want to punish those illegal grain merchants, just kill them. Why do you need a public trial? I have never heard of such a thing."

Xu Kang explained: "The public trial is to tell the people of Xiangping that our Fengtian Army is reasonable and is not killing innocent bandits indiscriminately. And precisely because it has never happened before, it can show that our Fengtian Army is different from those corrupt officials."

of."

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. What do you think I wear with this one?" Xu Kang picked up the clothes recommended by Ci Mei and asked. He really had no experience in how to match clothes, so he only asked for advice humbly and was not ashamed to ask.

Gong Yinglian secretly rolled her eyes, but still looked at it seriously for a while and said: "I think you should wear military uniforms, just wear your usual armor. It's pretty good."

"Ah." Xu Kang said with a grimace, "But I'm going to trial a case tomorrow, not fight. Besides, that thing is too heavy."

"I don't want you to move around anyway. It doesn't matter whether it's heavy or not." Gong Yinglian seemed to be interested at this time and said: "Besides, you are young, so wearing armor can show your majesty."

"Really?" Hearing this, Xu Kang couldn't help but hesitate.

"No, this is enough to be close to the people." Regarding clothes, Ci Mei unexpectedly got into a rare argument with Gong Yinglian, saying: "This time we have to uphold justice for God and redress the grievances of the people. So we must make the people feel friendly.

."

"No, I still think that you will be the official of Xiangping from now on. You must maintain a certain level of dignity to make the people feel at ease, so that they can follow you with confidence." Gong Yinglian refused to give in.

Ci Mei: "..." Gong Yinglian: "..."

Seeing that the two people who were usually as close as sisters actually got into a heated argument over a trivial matter of dressing, Xu Kang was a little stunned.

Later, for the sake of their friendship and for the sake of world peace, Gong Yinglian suggested that Xu Kang wear clothes provided by Mei on the inside and armor on the outside. In this way, she could wear both of them.

Ci Mei was careless for a moment, but she readily agreed.

Afterwards, I remembered that Xu Kang was wearing plate armor. This thing was worn on the outside, who would have seen what he was wearing underneath.

So Cimei, who felt fooled, fought again, but after the humiliation treaty had been signed, Gong Yinglian completely suppressed her freedom of speech as a lady. The matter was successfully resolved.

From beginning to end, Xu Kang, as the party involved, had no right to defend himself, and in the end he became the victim of the compromise between the two. Xu Kang once again realized what it means to be a weak country without diplomacy.

No, I must practice martial arts well in the future and strive to defeat Gong Yinglian as soon as possible to avenge today's shame. Xu Kang secretly swore.

Early the next morning, an open space in the Nanmen Vegetable Market and a temporary high platform were already crowded with people who came to watch the excitement.

Since the trial this time was a case related to people's livelihood, such as grain merchants, the choice of Caishikou was more symbolic.

Xu Kang is wearing armor and has a handsome appearance. He is sitting on the throne. There are twenty guards on each side, who are majestic and majestic.

In addition, a circle of soldiers stood outside the three-foot-high platform to prevent possible attacks from the surrounding people.

"Bring someone to commit crimes." Xu Kang said hoarsely.

Gong Yinglian quickly reminded in a low voice: "The time has not come yet?"

"I can't wait any longer. The sweat on my body has reached my ankles. If this continues, I will go into dehydration shock due to heat." Xu Kang said anxiously.

Gong Yinglian smiled when she heard this and said nothing more.

Although the weather has turned cooler at this time, the sun is still very bright. In this weather, wearing plate armor is already like wearing a steamer, and Ci Mei still has to put on a few more clothes. Ci Mei.

There was nothing he could do about Gong Yinglian, so Xu Kang took it out.

But this time was very painful for Xu Kang. His whole body felt like he was taking a sauna, and his sweat flowed down like a waterfall.

Xu Kang felt that if he kept waiting like this, he would have to steam them first before cutting off the heads of those profiteers.

As the order was given, a group of prisoners wearing white prison uniforms were brought to a high platform and knelt down one by one.

At this time, the so-called trial cannot give the other party much opportunity to defend himself.

In fact, it is more appropriate to say it is a criticism meeting than a trial meeting. Xu Kang found a group of eloquent and fickle people and gave examples of all the abominable things these guys did in hoarding food. This incident was originally in Xiangping City.

The personal pain of the people naturally aroused resonance, and many people have shouted to thank the world for killing him.

He must kill, but now is not the time. Seeing the situation in front of him, Xu Kang was secretly proud. He had put in a lot of effort for this performance and had rehearsed it countless times last night.

So more than a dozen so-called mistresses who were specially recruited to expose how these aristocratic families usually bully the people came to the high platform one by one.

It's not a false accusation. In this era, which aristocratic mansion doesn't have a few bastard incidents of bullying men and women and bullying the market every year? It's just that no one dares to ask about these things.

Now that these victims have been listed one by one, since there are witnesses and physical evidence, they cannot be denied. The people around who have suffered from the family for a long time are even more excited and shouting to kill the thief.

Xu Kang was waiting for this moment, and he saw him walking towards the front desk, stretching his arms and shouting: "Fellow folks in Xiangping, this is Xu Kang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fengtian Army."

Following his call, the surrounding soldiers suddenly fired their spears and shouted: "Quiet." A wave of intimidation swept across all directions, causing the entire market to become silent, with only one voice still ringing.
