Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of some people in the hall, the Lord of Xiaoyang City had to explain. What happened to the Snake Pattern Clan in the Southern Wilderness, and what was their connection with Wufuqiu? Ordinary people did not know.
It was only at this moment that I suddenly realized. The Lord of Xiaoyang City also specifically introduced the story of Jian Sha killing the disciples Fu Bao and others of the Beast Mountain, which was also Da Jun's personal experience back then.
Only then did everyone in the hall realize the seriousness of the situation. Now that this matter has been exposed, not only must it be clarified, but it must be thoroughly investigated. Don't forget that the current king is the direct disciple of Master Wufuqiu!
After finally explaining a lot of the background, Xiao Yang asked Anan again: "Ding Gongzhu once persuaded you like this, but what happened next?"
Anan's pretty face turned pale at this time, and she didn't even dare to cry anymore. She subconsciously wanted to kneel down and said: "Lord City Lord, what you just said was only the situation at the beginning, but it is no longer the beginning. The past is over, why bother to pursue it again?
?Since I couldn't escape at first, I had no choice but to accept my fate under Ding Gongzhu's persuasion. No matter what, it was better than suffering all the torture at the hands of the murderer.
Now I am Ding Gongzhu's woman. It has been a long time. I am afraid that I can't go back to the Southern Wilderness and don't want to see my people like this. Later, Ding Gongzhu was very kind to me. He rarely cared about me, and I had no worries about food and clothing.
I am no longer tortured, and now I have no resentment in my heart, I just want to live a peaceful life."
Xiaoyang City Lord: "As a suffering master, are you trying to intercede for someone?"
Anan: "I don't want to plead for anyone, I just want to ask you all not to mention this matter again. It's over, it's over. Even if I understand it, what's the use to me?" As he spoke, even if he was separated by Huwa's magic power,
Even with support, she could hardly stand and looked like she was about to faint.
Huwa finally spoke slowly: "Many things that happened are indeed irreversible. You are innocent. You are powerless and unwilling to pursue the case. However, this does not mean that the guilty can be forgiven. Thorough investigation and severe punishment are just to prevent such things from happening again.
...Lord City Lord, Mrs. Anan has said almost everything that needs to be said. You can please come into the back house and take a rest. Since Ding Gongzhu is in Yeliang City, he should be summoned to the court for trial."
Before Huwa finished speaking, he heard someone shout angrily: "Where did this madman come from, dare to commit murder in public and kidnap my wife?" Following the words, a man angrily rushed into the lobby. He stretched out his hand to support the shaky Anan.
.This person did not come in through the gate, but from the back house, bypassing the screen where the Lord was sitting and went straight into the hall.
Xiaoyang was startled, but Huwa shouted loudly: "Who is here? He broke in when the city lord came to the court to ask questions!"
The visitor was of course Ding Gongzhu. He was not in the city lord's palace just now. He rushed back when he heard about the accident. When he saw the coachman asking about the situation, he couldn't help but feel horrified. At the same time, he was also furious. He wanted to rush to the hall and take Anan away. But the hall door
The front door was already crowded with onlookers, so he entered the back house through the side door. He broke in directly from behind the screen.
He lives in the city lord's mansion and is the eldest son of the city lord. There is no problem in entering through the hall like this on weekdays. But when the city lord is in the hall to ask questions, he cannot break in like this without permission, so Huwa will scold him.
But the person who came proudly said: "I am Ding Gongzhu, a co-worker of the country. I have a noble title but I don't want to worship in the hall. Who are you?"
While speaking, Ding Gongzhu threw a sign and dropped it on the table in front of Xiaoyang. It was the national token of the Bashi Kingdom, and then said angrily: "City Lord, you had someone kidnapped my elder in front of the house.
, and were brought to the court for trial. Where is your face?"
Ding Gongzhu was not only extremely angry, but also very guilty. He deliberately put on such a menacing posture and even threw out his national worker token. He wanted to take Anan away quickly and mess up the matter first.
Unexpectedly, there was another snapping sound, and Huwa also threw a sign on the case and said coldly: "Isn't it just a national worker status? I have one too! At this moment, the city lord came to the court and only asked about the circumstances of the case. The national worker has a title
You could have gone to the hall without worshiping, but you broke in from the back house without permission and disturbed the dignity of etiquette. You should kneel down and accept the blame."
Ding Gong noticed that Huwa was also a national worker, and there was a "buzz" in his head. He already felt that it was difficult to handle, but he thought that he had done many things impeccably. The only situation that could be found out was that he bought Anan in the first place.
That's it. Now that Anan has been trained to obey, he can even plead for himself, and the city lord is his own family, so this matter is not difficult to handle.
While his mind was racing, Xiaoyang slammed the table and said, "Kneel down before you die!"
When Xiaoyang spoke, he did not look at Ding Gongzhu, but at the government servants on both sides. As Ding Gongzhu, he did not have to kneel down in front of the hall, but Huwa had already spoken, and he wanted to punish Ding Gongzhu for trespassing in the court.
, how dare Xiaoyang not comply.
Only then did the government officials on both sides realize that they still had to obey their master's orders. As soon as they heard the sound of the wind, a torture stick was already hitting Ding Gongzhu's legs and knees from behind. With Ding Gongzhu's cultivation level, he could
It was impossible for him to be beaten to his knees by the prison staff's torture stick, but he was stunned at this moment. If he really dared to use his magical power to fight in the court, the consequences would not be ordinary.
Ding Gongzhu knelt down in front of the hall with a pop, but he was not injured. Anan screamed and fainted, and was immediately sent to the back hall. At this time, the servants on both sides struck their sticks and shouted, making a killing sound.
Ding Gongzhu didn't say anything for a long time. Huwa didn't speak any more, just looked at him coldly, and then looked at Xiaoyang interrogating the case with his hands behind his back.
Ding Gongzhu finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaoyang, you are so promising that you actually made your elders kneel down in front of everyone."
Xiao Yang said expressionlessly: "In this court, I am the city lord at this moment. You just broke in from the back house without permission and deserve to be punished with a rod. Let's put this matter aside for the time being. The case I was asking just now needs to be reported to you.
Come to the hall...Assistant assistant in front of the hall, please tell this Lord Ding Gongzhu what happened just now."
When the city lord comes to the court to inquire about a case, there are two officials standing on each side of the main case in the middle. On the left is the assistant manager, who assists the city lord in handling litigation matters; on the right is the jailer, who is responsible for guarding prisoners in prison. These two officials are in Bashi Junior High School.
Usually he only enjoys one title. He is the lowest official and the head of all government officials.
There are warehouse divisions and military divisions in the city walls, but there are no counselors. In theory, the role of the counselor is personally responsible for the city lord. Now that the city lord has spoken, his assistant, the assistant minister, relayed the situation in the hall.
The more Ding Gongzhu listened, the more frightened he became. It seemed that many things had been revealed.
I think Anan was just a weak woman who was sold to Ding Gongzhu after being kidnapped to the Bashi Kingdom. Over the years, she was watched by Ding Gong as a concubine and had almost no chance to show her face and contact the outside world. Only after she gave up the idea of escape
, so that you can occasionally go out for a walk by car, and you have to keep the car curtains down so as not to show your face.
Such a demon woman who had hardly seen the world was suddenly brought to the lobby. How could she withstand the intimidation of such a scene? Of course, she just said whatever she asked.
Ding Gongzhu regretted that he came a step too late. If he had been present at the time, he would definitely not have let Anan say anything nonsense. At the same time, he also felt a little lucky that there was no room for change in the matter. Anan did not know the real inside story at the time, and these
Nian has been trained and obeyed by himself, and he will not take the initiative to stand up and accuse himself as a torturer.
At this time, the Lord of Xiaoyang City asked again with a straight face: "Ding Gongzhu, what else do you have to say?"
Ding Gongzhu raised his head and sneered: "Do I need to say anything? The people in the hall have already asked clearly that when Anan was in trouble, I rescued him and took him in. It was just that simple. What's the crime?... If the city lord doesn't believe it, you can
Go and ask her in person, does she have any complaints against me now, or does she intend to hold me accountable? It would be too lenient to meddle in someone's business."
Ding Gongzhu looked nonchalant when he spoke, but he was already kneeling on his knees. No matter how much he pretended to be pretentious or put on airs, it still didn't look like that.
The Lord of Xiaoyang City said expressionlessly: "Master National Worker, with your cultivation methods, can't you deal with a few thugs? Even if you are not an opponent, you know that there are thugs who have kidnapped the Snake Pattern woman, but you bought it privately and hid it in your home.
, is tantamount to being an accomplice of capitalist thieves.”
This was when Huwa spoke again: "Your Majesty City Lord, this case is no longer a matter for one city. We should temporarily imprison and interrogate the relevant persons, and report it to the capital for another trial in ten days."
This "small" case has been tried so far, and it is beyond the jurisdiction of the city lord of Yeliang City, because the original incident happened in Xifeng City. Whether it is questioning the relevant people or apprehending the murderer, other city walls must cooperate.
Cooperate, this kind of thing needs to be reported to the capital.
Without saying a word, Xiao Yang immediately ordered the jailer to take Ding Gongzhu into custody on the spot. Ding Gongzhu was taken aback, and immediately wanted to get up and shouted: "You dare!"
But before he could stand up, he fell down again with a thud. The baby was standing next to him, and suddenly waved from behind, taking advantage of Ding Gongzhu's unpreparedness and sealing his magical power. Ding Gongzhu after all had the fifth level of cultivation, if
Under normal circumstances, in a head-on fight, given Huwa's current situation, it would take some effort to capture him unscathed.
But at this moment, after all, he was in the court, and Ding Gongzhu was hesitant to take action, and he was not prepared for Huwa to attack from behind. He was immediately dragged away by the servant, who was shackled and dragged away, still shouting: "Xiaoyang,
You white-eyed brat, you won’t recognize your biological uncle when you become the city lord! People all over the city are watching. You were instigated by outsiders and dared to humiliate your elders like this..."
As soon as he shouted the words, he fell silent because his mouth was blocked. The prison master usually did not dare to offend Ding Gongzhu, but he was Xiaoyang's subordinate after all, and he could not let Ding Gongzhu say any more unpleasant words.
Come, otherwise you will be derelict in your duty.
Anan has already been tried, and Ding Gongzhu was imprisoned on the spot. Huwa ordered the trial to be re-tried ten days later, so it will be re-tried ten days later. Even if the monarch and the young minister come, they can't refute the face of Mr. Peng Keng. So in these ten days
Within days, Xiaoyang must report the matter to the capital as soon as possible and summon the relevant people to come to court at that time.
Fortunately, Xiaoyang City is not far from the capital and Xifeng City. Ten days is enough for a round trip. But I don’t know who will be the presiding judge when the case comes to court ten days later. Lord Li Zheng of Bashi Kingdom,
The person who reported the case, Mr. Peng Keng, was simply the young minister? (To be continued...)
