"Who dares to touch the governor!" Gu San and Gu Si immediately stepped forward to block the government officials.
The prefect's expression changed: "You, what did you say?!"
"My lord is Lord Cao Zhengning, the governor who has been ordered to inspect civil affairs. Why don't you kneel down when you see Shangguan!"
Everyone was shocked and knelt down one after another. Jiang Weiming's family was even more shocked. They knew that Cao Zhengning had an extraordinary status, but they didn't expect that he was actually a second-rank governor!
He subconsciously turned to look at Tuantuan, and saw Tuantuan holding a small fist with red eyes and waving it fiercely at Jiang Weiyang and Lu Jing. All despair seemed to have been smashed away by her small fist, leaving only endless hope.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have never received any news from the governor. You must be pretending to be a superior officer. Come here and catch them!"
The prefect opened his squinted eyes wide and gave orders with a stern expression, but his heart was beating like a drum. A bad premonition filled his heart. He intuitively could not accept this person's official position.
The yamen immediately swarmed up, but how could a man who was corrupted by wine and meat be the match of a third-class guard? They easily knocked him down, picked up the prefect's fat neck, and dragged him down to the high hall.
Cao Zhengning Shi Shiran sat in the high hall, took out the documents and seal, and looked at the prefect.
"You don't recognize me, do you don't want to, or do you dare not?"
The magistrate's legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"My lord, you are wronged. I just made a mistake for a moment and had no other ideas. My lord, you are aware of this!"
"I am a wise judge, so I watched the whole process in the back hall. I dare to ask the prefect what your name is, but do you still know the process of going to court?"
The prefect was sweating coldly: "My surname is Chen Mingliang. I know the process of hearing in court. He will first interrogate the plaintiff and then question the defendant. If each person insists on his own story, he will question the witnesses, look at the colors, check the emotional words, and carefully question..."
"What an interrogation witness. The whole room is filled with witnesses for the prosecution. How can we trust one side of the story?"
"Look at the color. You see the plaintiff's eyes are wandering and his expression is sneaky. Then you look at the defendant. He is so angry and uncontrollable that he cannot suppress his sorrow. But you have no doubts about the sneaky person. I think you are a blind judge and a dumb judge, and I want to beat him into submission! "
"My lord, you are wronged, my lord!"
Magistrate Chen immediately burst into tears, and Jiang Weiyang's heart skipped a beat. Chen Liang's uncle was a third-rank official in the court. He was the most dandy and incompetent son in the family, so he was sent here to become the local emperor. Now the governor is older than his uncle, and he is still People from the capital should be aware of their relationship, but to be so disrespected in court is probably in danger.
Thinking of this, he moved towards the door almost subconsciously, but was blocked by Jiang Zian.
"Uncle, do you still want to escape from this court?"
He spoke loudly and immediately attracted Cao Zhengning's eyes. Jiang Weiming also shook off the yamen servant and knelt directly in front of the hall.
"I was wronged, please make the decision, the governor!"
Cao Zhengning nodded: "I have seen everything clearly in the inner hall, but you still lack witnesses and physical evidence on this matter. If you have any, please tell me and I will send some celebrities to investigate. This case has been adjourned for the time being until you need it. Stay in Fucheng and wait for help at any time."
Mrs. Li cried with joy when she heard this, and she and her children rushed to the hall to hug Jiang Weiming, but saw him wave his hands to stop them, turned around and knelt down respectfully.
"Since your Excellency wants to send people to my hometown to investigate the case, then I will sue my brother in court!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. First, the case was concluded on suspicion of false accusation, and then the prefect who turned around and made a wrong judgment was knocked down. I thought that was the end, but never expected that the defendant became the plaintiff. However, in a moment, three major reversals occurred, and the crowd gathered around Calling a good guy a real good guy!
Cao Zhengning had long known that he had been wronged, and seeing that he had displayed his scholarly character in front of the hall, he had a good impression of him, and was shocked.
