Chapter 55 The First Trial (2)

Chapter 55 Initial Review (2)

With a "ding-dong" sound, Wang Dedao and Wang Dehao had already come to the hall under the leadership of several yamen runners. After these days of prison disaster, and the two of them were in prison all the way from She County to Beijing, they were already in a van, and their original image as a handsome young man no longer exists. Wang Dedao even covered his long hair because of the wounds on his face, making it impossible to see his appearance.

The two of them entered the lobby again, feeling very nervous, but when they saw Tang Feng sitting on Tang Shang, they looked solemn, and hatred appeared in their eyes. If it weren't for the hall of Dali Temple, Wang Dehao might have pounced on him and started fighting with Tang Feng. Tang Feng also saw the hatred between them, but he was not panicked, but just watched them quietly kneeling on the ground and saluting Hui Shiyang who was high above.

"Wang Dedao, Wang Dehao, now the county magistrate of She County who is sentenced to you and is here. He said that you two not only instruct the servants to kill and commit murder, but also break into the yamen to hurt people. Can you admit this?" Hui Shiyang asked after slapped the gavel.

Wang Dedao and the other two had already met their third uncle before and received his face-to-face advice, so they immediately said in unison: "Sir, we are wronged!" Then Wang Dedao said: "The villain had a dispute with the magistrate of Tang in the restaurant, and he also caused the villain's face to be scalded. Later, because he was afraid that the villain would hold a grudge, he targeted my Wang family everywhere." Speaking of this, Wang Dedao reached out and put his hair on the face, revealing his face covered with scalding scars in front of everyone. At this time, the injuries on Wang Dedao's face had already been scabbed, and because of the sufferings over the past few days, his face became extremely ugly, which made the yamen runners who were used to seeing flesh and blood in the hall also exclaimed, and they felt a little more about his words.

Seeing that Wang Dedao's ugly face was exposed in front of him, Hui Shiyang couldn't help but frown. After a while, he looked at Tang Feng: "Mr. Tang, is what he said the truth?"

Tang Feng had long known that the other party was injured because of his book boy's trick. Of course, this was also because the other party wanted to be unfavorable to him first. However, this matter was too coincidental and it was difficult to be careful with others. Secondly, it was a long story, so Tang Feng did not want to say it in the hall. Moreover, he was sure that Wang Dedao must not know that it was his book boy's trick, so he said: "I remember that Wang Dedao's injuries were indeed suffered when he was having a banquet with the Xiaguan, but it was not injured by the Xiaguan, but just an accident. As for what he said, the Xiaguan was always embarrassed by their Wang family because he was afraid of their revenge, it was even more false."

Wang Dedao argued on the side: "Sir, this county magistrate Tang has come to my house again and again to look for trouble. If he hadn't wanted to find my Wang family, why would he come often as a county magistrate?" Although he kept his room in his house for those days and did not ask about everything, he still vaguely knew these things.

When Tang Feng saw Hui Shiyang's face change a little, he obviously felt that the other party was right and was shocked. He knew that he had to tell the matter out of the original place before he could explain it clearly, so he said, "Sir, although this matter is true, it has other feelings. Please let the lower officials come to do it one by one." As he said that, he told the story of the Wang family making things difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, Tang Feng ignored his face and told everyone that he was controlled by others. This made the two brothers Wang Dedao change their faces. According to what Wang Wenyan had guessed before, Tang Feng would not tell the matter in front of so many people in order to preserve his dignity as a county magistrate, but they miscalculated.

Seeing that Tang Feng said the matter without thinking, and it sounded very reasonable, Hui Shiyang could only believe it. He also knew that this would be a little unfavorable to the Wang family, so he changed the topic: "The words of the magistrate of Tang County are quite polite. This matter has nothing to do with this case, so he put it aside first. Wang Dedao, you just said that the murder of the robbery and the murder had nothing to do with you. Do you still dare to say this in the hall now?"

Tang Feng knew that Hui Shiyang was obviously helping the Wang brothers, but he was also helpless. At this time, Wang Dedao continued: "Yes, the villain was taken care of by the general in the room because of this serious injury. If he didn't ask about his affairs, he naturally could not order people to rob and kill people. This matter can be proved by all the people in the Wang family."

Tang Feng immediately said, "Sir, when I went to the Wang family to capture him, the officials asked the people who were captured on the spot in the hall. From their mouths, they learned that the envoy behind the scenes was the one who brought the people there. Now there are confessions made by these people as evidence, and these people are also in Beijing. If the adults do not believe it, they can take the evidence to see it."

"You don't need to teach me to decide the case!" Hui Shiyang snorted coldly, and then said: "Come here, bring Wang Li and others to the court. I want them to confront Tang Feng on the spot." As he said that, he looked at Tang Feng.

Tang Feng's heart was thrilled by his glance. It seemed that he had forgotten something in his heart. It was still very critical, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it. Just when Tang Feng was puzzled, Wang Li and several servants were taken to the hall.

"I ask you, is this murder done by you? And is it instructed by Wang Dedao?"

Wang Li glanced at the two young masters in front of him and leaned on the ground and said, "Sir, this murderous incident was indeed what we did, but it had nothing to do with the third young master. County Magistrate Tang should also know about this. He could hear clearly what we said to the third young master that day..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Feng's face changed a little because he remembered something he didn't remember just now, that is, it did have nothing to do with Wang Dedao. Originally, he wanted to capture Wang Degong, but many things came one after another, which made him forget about it for a while. It was not until this time that he could remember the matter after hearing what Wang Li said. However, although this matter had nothing to do with Wang Degong, it was Wang Degong's commander, and there was no big problem.

At this time, Wang Li continued, "...I'm just going to give my young master a sigh of relief. Lord, what we robbed was the ones who sent the bride to Lord Tang to marry. The bride had a ceremony with my young master before, but then the Liu family married his daughter to him because Tang Feng was the county magistrate. We were just angry for a moment and went to rob. Now we know that we were wrong, so please let me know!" Several other servants also agreed.

Hui Shiyang looked at Tang Feng with great interest: "Mr. Tang County Magistrate, what he said is the truth. What these people robbed are the teams that sent brides to you?"

Seeing that they had made their position a little embarrassed, Tang Feng felt a little panicked, but his face remained unchanged: "When I say that sir, what they said is indeed true, but no matter who they robbed, as the county magistrate of She County, it is natural for me to arrest them. And they personally admitted in the hall that they were instructed by Wang Dedao..."

Wang Li suddenly interrupted at this time, "Sir, the young man has a love for him!" After receiving Hui Shiyang's approval, he said, "Sir, please look at the wrists of the little ones." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and exposed both wrists.

When everyone looked at it intently, they found that there was a very deep knife on their hands. Although the color faded because of the long time, it was still obvious that the knife was very fierce. The yamen runners all exclaimed lightly.

"How did this injury come about?"

"Yes..." Wang Li glanced at Tang Feng, and seemed to be very afraid of him. After a while, he seemed to have made some decision and said, "It was the torture that the Tang County Magistrate ordered us to be ordered. He asked us to insist that this was ordered by the Third Young Master. At the beginning, we were unwilling to admit it, so he ordered people to stab our wrists with a knife to use torture. He also said that if we did not do as he wanted, we would destroy all our limbs. The villains could not torture them, and then the confession they wrote according to his wishes."

"You..." Tang Feng didn't expect the other party to say something suddenly, and he was so angry that he couldn't argue for a while. But at this time Hui Shiyang spoke: "Mr. Tang, it seems that this matter is not as simple as you said. Although the other party was robbing your bride, you can't ignore my Ming law and use torture to let them cling to it at will."

Tang Feng had already guessed that this was designed by these people from the Wang family behind the scenes, in order to put themselves in the point where there was no place to say, and secretly hated them. However, when solving the problem, it was too heavy, so that these people used it. After the slightest determination of the gods, he said: "Sir, what they said is not true. Yes, they robbed me of my wife who has not passed the door, but no matter who they dealt with, as long as they violated the king's laws of the Ming Dynasty, the subordinates would capture them and take the Lord behind the scenes.

The people were asked to dig it out. Moreover, their injuries were not caused by the officials when they were asking questions in the hall, but by the injuries caused by the arrest of these people. All the people who were hearing outside the hall that day could be proved. Then he paused again; "And what they said just now had nothing to do with Wang Dedao was forced out by the officials using tricks, but they concealed one thing, that is, although this matter was not instructed by Wang Dedao, it was an order issued by Wang Degong. The clerks and yamen runners in the county government at that time could be proved."

"Master Tang, don't you think what you said is inconsistent?" Hui Shiyang snorted, "You only said that this matter was done by Wang Dedao and Wang Dehao, but now you say that again. How can I still believe you? And what you said is that the people and the people from the county government are not in the capital. Who do you ask me to ask now? I think you are clearly quibbling!"

Tang Feng still wanted to argue, but Hui Shiyang was already slapped and said, "Since this matter cannot be decided clearly for a while, both sides have a resignation. I will discuss it with others before deciding. Retreat!"
