"If a person has no manners and is rude, what will he do if he doesn't die!"
The prefect looked ugly: "Insulting the imperial official in front of the court will be punished with an additional penalty, and he will be dragged down!"
The yamen officer stepped forward, but Jiang Weiming ducked away. He was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he stood as lonely and proud as a cypress.
"What kind of court official do you think you are? You accept money, bend the law for personal gain, don't care about the life and death of the people, and don't care about the justice of heaven and earth. How are you different from Xiang Shu!"
"I don't plead guilty. Even if you have the ability to force me to submit, I refuse to accept it. As long as I go out, I will sue you. If the state capital fails, I will be the capital. If the capital fails, I will sue the emperor. The law of heaven is clear, and I will sue you. If you don’t believe me, Dayu has no upright officials and no place for reasoning!”
His words were shocking, and coupled with the prefect's hasty decision on the case, everyone in the audience basically understood that this family was wrongly accused.
However, so what if they were wrongly accused. Looking at their coarse clothes and his brother's Jingui gown, the truth is not important. This place has always been the prefect's one-word hall.
Someone gently pulled Mrs. Li: "Hurry up and run away with the children. There is someone behind this prefect."
Li's face turned even paler and her body went limp. If she hadn't been holding Tuan Tuan in her arms, she would have fainted, but she couldn't. If something happened to Brother Ming, she had to take the children away safely!
"Mom, don't worry!" Tuantuan stretched out his little paw and took out a jelly bean and stuffed it into Li's lips, which were mixed with blood.
"You crazy guy, how dare you act like a fool in public, why don't you take him to prison!"
"Yes, hurry up!"
Lu Jing said and pushed Jiang Weiming. If he goes to prison, he will naturally not be able to get out. The Li family will be his. Those brats will make a fortune if only one of them is left behind and the rest are sold!
Jiang Weiming knocked Lu Jing to the ground. Because he was treated harshly at home since he was a child, he had some brute strength even though he was studying.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive. If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your wife and children!"
Jiang Weiyang suddenly raised his voice, but everyone could hear the threat in it.
Jiang Weiming clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh. His eyes swept over the frightened faces of Mrs. Li and the children, leaving only the coldness that pierced their stomachs.
Making a fuss in court would naturally increase his crime. He didn't want to make a fuss. He couldn't see Lu Jing's evil thoughts towards Zhi Lan, and he was even more afraid that without him, his wife and children would be devoured by these poisonous wolves.
However, blindly resisting will only bring more troubles to his wife and children...
The fire in his heart finally went out.
"You don't need to escort me, I'll go on my own."
"You can leave on your own if you say you want. This hall is your home. If you show contempt for the court like this, why don't you give me a thumbs up!"
The prefect had not encountered such a tough situation for a long time, and he was so angry that he was shocked.
Jiang Weiming was forced to the ground and the killing stick was raised high, but he was not afraid at all and still looked stubbornly at the plaque hanging high in the mirror.
"Hahaha, there is no king's law and no heavenly justice. Above this court, there is only the stinking greed and lust. My law is in danger, and Dayu is in danger!
Jiang Weiyang and Lu Jing were filled with joy and wished they could just beat him to death with the stick.
The prefect even sneered: "I'm going to lose my life. If you keep talking tough, give me a beating!"
"Let's see who dares to fight!"
A loud shout suddenly made everyone startled, and everyone turned their attention.
On the high platform, a person walked out from the inner room. He was wearing a green shirt and plain clothes. He was slim and thin. He was not the scribe Cao Zhengning they were helping in the forest!
Jiang Weiming was startled, and Mrs. Li was even more stunned, but all the brothers subconsciously looked at the ball in their mother's arms.
Is this the vitality Tuantuan talks about?
The prefect was disgraced, and when he saw Cao Zhengning suddenly coming out of the back hall wearing ordinary robes, he was immediately furious.
"Who are you? How dare you enter the inner hall without permission? Come on, please take me away!"
