Although Lin Haoming didn't care about the old Taoist priest, he had to be careful. In addition to telling Yu'er not to leave the mansion, he also asked someone to monitor the situation of the Taoist temple and investigate the situation of the Taoist temple. Fortunately, Yu'er was extremely obedient. After Lin Haoming gave the order, he continued to retreat in the mansion. Shu Siyue also took a care of her and discussed with Qi Niang that even if Yu'er wanted to go out, the two of them would have to be with her.
Under such circumstances, there was no problem with Yu'er, and Yu Yanqing's case began to become more and more eye-catching.
The three parties jointly tried the case. Although Fang Ruhai was the presiding trial, Yu Yanqing denied all the charges throughout the process, and his attitude of not pleading guilty from beginning to end made Fang Ruhai a little angry.
Of course, it wouldn't be a big deal if Yu Yanqing had just such an attitude, because the evidence presented throughout the process was enough to make Yu Yanqing guilty, although the crime was not very serious.
But the matter was not that simple. This day happened to be the case for the embezzlement of salary and military supplies back then. This matter was actually very clear. It was indeed the case that the situation was urgent and the military did not agree, so the military supplies back first and then make up for it.
The matter is very clear, but it also takes a formality, and it also seems that the person who is trying the case is in justice rather than self-interest.
Lin Haoming and Zhou Mengli came earlier as jury, and because of the trial of this case, they were already familiar with Fang Ruhai and others. Although the representatives had different positions, the two sides were still quite polite on the surface, let alone Zhou Mengli, the middleman.
In the lobby, the few people who arrived first talked about interesting things in the city recently. After all, they are not enemies of life and death. It is naturally the most appropriate to get together and say such things.
Whether it is the presiding judge, the jury or the witness, they all arrived except Song Ting. However, Song Ting was a right-handed master after all, and he could count the entire Dilian City with one hand. It is also worth waiting for a while.
But who would have thought that just as everyone was chatting, there were shouts coming from outside, as if many people were gathering outside the Tongzong Mansion.
Fang Ruhai asked someone to go and see what was going on. After a while, a yamen run back and reported to everyone: "Sir, for some reason, there are a large number of people gathered outside the government office, and these people don't look like those in the city, but they seem to be from outside.
"Where are the county below? Is there any county below that has accumulated public grievances and exploded!" Fang Ruhai subconsciously murmured when he heard this. After all, this kind of thing happened before.
"Why? It's not that more than a hundred counties under Dizicheng are quite peaceful, how could such a thing happen?" Zhou Mengli said with an excuse.
"It's hard to say this. After all, now that the new city lord takes office, it's not possible if someone below wants to react to the grievances!" Fang Ruhai guessed, but thought to himself that if this is true, it might be a complete impact on the Xiao Group.
"Let me ask a few people, what they are doing, and..." Just as Fang Ruhai ordered the people below to do things, a uniform shouting suddenly came to the outside. "Mr. Yu saved billions of people in the three counties, corrupt officials, and for their own interests, and falsely accused loyal and kind..."
The shouts kept ringing over and over again, which made everyone present look at each other, especially Fang Ruhai. He just thought that it might take advantage of this matter, but who would have thought it would turn into a troublesome thing in the blink of an eye and his eyes also fell on Xiang Xuehai. Obviously, in his opinion, the noise of causing trouble outside must have a deep relationship with Xiang Xuehai.
"Sir, why are you looking at me?" Xiang Xuehai glared at him and asked back.
"Mr. Xiang, we are not secretly talking. The people who suddenly gathered outside have nothing to do with you?" Fang Ruhai stared at him and asked.
"It has nothing to do with me, why? Lord Fang thought it was me who planned to save Lord Yu, so he deliberately gathered the people to petition?" Xiang Xuehai asked back.
"If it has nothing to do with Lord Xiang, it is the best!" Although Fang Ruhai said this, he did not believe it, because in his opinion, Lin Haoming and Zhou Mengli, the people present, were both newcomers and absolutely had no ability to let the people below come here to cause trouble. Song Ting, who had not arrived yet, has been quite neutral. He only seeks justice and impartiality in his work, and should not deliberately do things. Only Xiang Xuehai is the most suspicious, and Xiao Ming's daughter and son-in-law are both county magistrates in the county town below, and he is absolutely capable of mobilizing the power below.
"Sir Fang, Lord Song's carriage is blocked outside and cannot be entered! And it is surrounded by many people!" At this time, another yamen runner ran in and reported.
"What?" Fang Ruhai was really annoyed this time. After all, Song Ting is now a very critical figure, and he and Cui Changting are also trying to win him over.
"Sir Fang, why don't I go out and have a look!" Lin Haoming took the initiative.
"I'll go with Lord Lin!" Ju Yehao, the left supervisor, said immediately.
Obviously, the left supervisor was worried that Lin Haoming would stand on the other side. After all, since the trial, although Lin Haoming did not make any major moves, his position was very clear. He had completely turned to Cui Changting, so he naturally needed to show that he was different from before.
"Okay!" Lin Haoming just smiled and agreed, and then the two of them walked out together, leaving the rest of them staring at each other with big eyes.
When Lin Haoming walked out, he found that there were quite a few people gathering. The square in front of the Tongzong Mansion was already full of people, with tens of thousands. Song Ting was standing in the carriage at this time, shouting loudly, asking everyone not to be crowded and noisy.
"These are all people in the three counties. Do you believe it, Lord Lin?" Ju Yehao was very annoyed when he looked at so many people.
"Why don't you believe it?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Although the three counties are not very far from the Dizi City, even if they come here by carriages, it will take two or three months to come. How much money is required on the road is definitely a big deal for these people. If no one secretly organizes it, I don't believe it!" Ju Yehao analyzed rationally.
Lin Haoming naturally knew that Ju Yehao was right. There were indeed so many people who were secretly organized, and Lin Haoming also knew in his heart that it was just in this form and he had to do so.
At this time, Song Ting had already calmed everyone with his own voice, looking at the people and asked: "Everyone comes from afar. I will naturally understand your intentions, but even if it is, it cannot hinder normal interrogation. If everyone does this, how can the laws of the heavenly world be carried out? Please go back. I promise that this case must be handled impartially and will never deliberately frame the adults!"
