The trial on the first day seemed calm.

The prosecution filed a lawsuit and provided testimony by relevant witnesses, which was naturally natural. Xiao Mingxue also made relevant defenses. The highlight of this day was that Tan Weihong, who took the initiative to appear in court to testify, truthfully stated his testimony, "1. The loan of 50,000 yuan was a private matter between Chen Meihua and Xiao Mingxue and his wife; 2. In mid-May last year, Xiao Mingxue had returned the borrowed money to me in person; 3. My repeated perjury was all due to the pressure of the Mingyang Municipal Procuratorate." He also said, "Everything I said is the truth. If there is perjury, I am willing to bear legal responsibility."

After presenting his testimony, Tan Weihong had just walked out of court and was immediately pinched by the two of them, twisted their hands and threw them into the police car.

Afterwards, he was taken to the Mingyang City Procuratorate and imprisoned.

Under the threat of the interrogators, Tan Weihong had to reaffirm the perjury.

During this period, Tan Weihong was forced to take an arrest warrant and wear a card with perjury and bribery, and was handcuffed and led to the grass outside the procuratorate to take photos and videos, and was insulted.

In order to protect himself, Tan Weihong was helpless and had to spend money to clear the joints and was released on bail.

On this day, the busiest person was not the trial of the people, nor were the forces that were scattered for the case of Xiao Mingxue, but Chen Mingluo, who was about to start school.

During the day, Chen Mingluo followed Tan Weihong all the way from the court to the procuratorate. Even when the procuratorate interrogators dragged Tan Weihong to the grass to beat and insult him, Chen Mingluo hid in the nearby bushes and watched all this.

After returning home in the evening, Chen Tongda, who had been paying attention to the municipal party committee and government, asked his son, "How was the evidence collected?"

"It's almost done." Chen Mingluo nodded and replied.

"The result will come out the day after tomorrow. Wang Ciming is indeed unwilling. When will the court be so idle and work so hard on a case?" Chen Tongda shook his head and said.

"This time, the procuratorate is at the forefront. Wang Ciming hid behind as a pusher, while Cai Sushan hid even deeper." Chen Mingluo analyzed, "I think at most it is to rescue Xiao Mingxue. Wang Ciming may not be able to get into a lawsuit because of this. I believe the procuratorate will definitely not confess what he has. After all, this is their protective umbrella."

Chen Mingluo's reasoning is also tenable. Wang Ciming is scheming after all, and it is impossible to leave any handle when doing things. Judging from the relationship between Wang Xiaoshan, the procurator general of Linling District Procuratorate, even if something goes wrong, Wang Xiaoshan will take responsibility without causing trouble for Wang Ciming.

After all, Wang Xiaoshan knew very well that Wang Ciming was his backer. As long as Wang Ciming could not fall, he could resolve any problems he encountered. Once he offered Wang Ciming, it was still a matter of whether he could excuse himself. However, the power behind Wang Ciming would definitely make him live and die.

On August 29, there were crowds of people outside the Linling District Court.

Today, the trial of Xiao Mingxue's bribery case will be held here, and a judgment will be made.

In the morning, it was raining heavily, and thousands of people were waiting for news outside the court in raincoats or umbrellas.

After the presiding judge announced the trial, the court began to investigate and debate.

The court read out Chen Meihua's so-called testimony of reporting Xiao Mingxue's bribery. Because Chen Meihua, the only direct witness in this case, was absent, Xiao Mingxue and his defense lawyer asked the court to let Chen Meihua appear in court to testify in person, but for some ulterior motives, the presiding judge ignored it.

When Xiao Mingxue, Tan Weihong and lawyer Lin Qiuxia made passionate defenses on innocence and forced to commit perjury, more than 800 people who were on the audience were infected.

During the seven-hour trial, it was found that among the only two witnesses on the stage, one witness, Tan Weihong, completely overturned the original testimony provided by the procuratorate, while the other witness, Li Rong, overturned most of the testimony made in the procuratorate.

At the trial meeting, witness Li Rong confirmed, "The boss Tan Weihong did not know that Xiao Mingxue's wife Xie Lu borrowed money from Chen Meihua. Because the money was a private loan relationship, it has not been recorded in the company's account so far. If the company wants to give Xiao Mingxue money or goods, the company's board of directors should first pass. But in fact, both of these money was borrowed from me by Chen Meihua, and then she lent it to Xie Lu as a friend, so the bribery mentioned by the procuratorate is unfounded."

In the afternoon, the court held a collegial discussion.

During the collegial period, Xiao Mingxue, who had not yet dripped water for seven consecutive hours, proposed to drink water.

After the bailiff asked the ** judge, he was not allowed.

Finally, in reading Xiao Mingxue's verdict, the presiding judge turned out to be openly pronounced, "After witness Li Rong testified in court, he confirmed that the 50,000 yuan Chen Meihua gave the defendant was decided by the company's board of directors. Now the first-instance judgment is made in accordance with the law. Xiao Mingxue was sentenced to nine years in prison for accepting bribes and confiscated 50,000 yuan in bribes."

After the court ruled, the audience was stunned.

When the bailiff carried Xiao Mingxue out, the crowds in the audience rushed forward to shake hands with him and shouted slogans of support. They were really excited.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Mingxue, who had been tortured for many days, could not help but cry loudly, "God is above, I have not accepted bribes! I am not convinced!"

The scene was almost in agitation, and the police officers responsible for maintaining order were also shocked. Although most of them were very dissatisfied with the judgment of this trial, due to the strict orders of some people, they had to suppress the somewhat out of control.

After Xiao Mingxue was judged in the first instance, after consultation with his lawyer, he did not appeal immediately, but chose to file a complaint directly to the Supreme People's Court after the first instance took effect.

"The officialdom in Mingyang City really needs to be thoroughly cleaned up." At night, Chen Mingluo, who had sorted out all the recordings and video materials, said to his parents who were very angry at home in an extremely calm manner.

In the past, Chen Mingluo had heard that under Cai Sushan's pressure, Mingyang City has been slapped with private relations and the phenomenon of selling official positions and titles is very serious, so that a considerable number of officials in the government's power system are like private servants from Cai Sushan's family.

This time, the Xiao Mingxue case is enough to prove this. If the officialdom in Mingyang City cannot be purged and the evil forces left by Cai Sushan are completely eliminated, then no matter who becomes the parents of Mingyang City, it is impossible for him to achieve success.
