The good man Pang Pang smiled and continued: "I promised him that as long as he agrees to give false testimony, Zuo Junmo will be identified in court as an associate of the Black Lotus Sect."

"At that time, when it's time to leave, we'll use a clever trick to release him."

"That guy is a fanatical cultist and wants to be loyal to the Black Lotus even to the death."

"I heard that I could be released and continue to serve the sect, so I immediately agreed to my conditions." After finishing speaking, the good man Pang Pang showed a proud smile.

After hearing this, Lieutenant Peng County was very satisfied.

"Well, not bad, you did a great job on this!"

"When things calm down later, I will report it to the superiors and give you a reward!"

"Thank you Lord Peng!"

…

Two days later, the Huguang County government office.

On the days when the court was open, cases were being heard in the lobby. Outside the guardrail at the entrance of the lobby, people were watching on three levels inside and three levels out.

In the lobby, in addition to Zhao Bosheng, the parent officer of Huguang County who was hearing the case, County Lieutenant Peng Pai was also listening on the side.

Underneath, Zuo Junmo stood with his hands behind his hands, his expression showing no hint of shortness of breath.

This made Pengxian Lieutenant who was watching secretly surprised, but Pengxian Lieutenant then secretly shook his head.

Everything is under control. Zuo Junmo will lose today.

Zhao Zhixian's gavel shot, and the whole hall fell into silence.

Then, he began to hear the case according to the usual procedures...

One question and one answer, proceeding in an orderly manner.

The people at the entrance of the lobby also pricked up their ears to listen.

Zuo Junmo is a famous person in Huguang County.

The Zuo family's case has implicated dozens of people in prison.

For a small county town, this was a sensational event.

Especially the beggars who filled the streets were rumored to be behind Zuo Junmo's instigation, which aroused the hatred of the people.

The Black Lotus Sect's panic made them pay more attention to this case.

So now, when Magistrate Zhao was hearing the case, everyone came to listen and wanted to know the truth of the matter.

When Zhao Bosheng asked about the beggar, Zuo Junmo denied it in court.

Zhao Bosheng was shocked and said, "Witness Zhang Xiaohua!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

Zhang Xiaohua is the leader who manages those little beggars.

At that moment, a haggard young man was brought to the hall.

"Zhang Xiaohua, please see clearly the man next to you. Is he the main messenger who ordered you to take the little beggar into custody?" Zhao Bosheng asked.

Lieutenant Peng Xian, who was sitting on the seat, narrowed his eyes and caressed the jade ring with his fingers.

Zhang Xiaohua was startled when he heard the noise and immediately raised his head.

He glanced at Zuo Junmo next to him.

Zuo Junmo, who was full of awe-inspiring righteousness, was also looking at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua clutched the corners of his clothes tightly with his fingers, his eyes extremely tangled.

He is a child from a poor family, and his father died when he was born.

It was his mother who brought him up.

There was a famine in his hometown there, so his mother took him all the way to Huguang County to beg.

When he was about to die from hunger, his mother cut her arm with a knife and fed him blood.

His mother taught him since he was a child that he should act according to his conscience, and that when a person is poor, his ambition cannot be short-lived.

He listened to his mother, no matter how poor he was, he would neither steal nor rob.

The group captured the mother, controlled her, and asked her to do things for them.

Take care of the abducted children and let them be beggars, begging on the streets...

He doesn't want to do this, it's unethical.

But thinking of his mother, he could only bite the bullet and do this unconscionable thing.

Now, I still have to commit perjury against my conscience!

Mother, what should my son do?

"Crack!"

After another crisp sound of the gavel, Zhao Boxheng's majestic shouting was suppressed again.

Zhang Xiaohua shivered, closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

For the sake of your mother, go to hell!

"Go back..."

"Son!"

Just when Zhang Xiaohua opened his mouth, an old voice came from behind.

So familiar!

He turned his head sharply.

Among the crowd watching behind them, two unfamiliar young men, a man and a woman, were supporting a gray-haired old lady.

mother?

"Son, you have to act according to your conscience when you speak!"

The old lady leaned forward and warned her with a loving look on her face.

It reminded him of his mother touching his head when he was a child and telling him to act according to his conscience...

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, and his eyes instantly brightened.

He turned around, straightened his back, and said to Zhao Bosheng in the lobby: "Sir, I don't recognize the person next to me. There is someone else who ordered me..."

Wow...

The whole house was in an uproar.

Lieutenant Peng Xian, who was sitting on the side seat, frowned secretly.

What's going on?

Didn’t it mean that Zhang Xiaohua’s mother was under control? Why was she stolen?

Lieutenant Peng Xian's sinister gaze passed over the young man and woman supporting the old lady over there. Are they Zuo Junmo's accomplices?

It's okay, it doesn't matter if Zuo Junmo escaped because of the little beggar.

Next, the Black Lotus Sect's hat is taken off. Even if Zuo Junmo didn't instruct the little beggar, he would still be dead!

In Peng Xianwei's secret thoughts, the case continued to be tried later.

Next, there was a public debate over the discovery of the statue of the evil god of the Black Lotus Cult in Zuo's backyard.

Then, Zhao Bosheng summoned the Black Lotus cultist who was being detained in the prison.

This is a man in his forties, with thick eyebrows, thin eyes and a high nose bridge.

He was taken to the court and beaten to death without even kneeling.

In the end, he was forced to kneel down after two government officials pressed his hind legs with wind and fire sticks.

Zhao Bosheng pointed at Zuo Junmo and asked the believer directly: "Is he your accomplice?"

The man raised his head and looked Zuo Junmo up and down with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Then, he grinned and let out a few sinister laughs.

Everyone in the hall was laughing so hard that their hair stood on end.

Lieutenant Peng Xian sat there, sneering secretly.

However, at this moment, the black-faced cultist below shook his head: "I don't recognize this person!"

"Look carefully before you speak!"

Lieutenant Peng County was stunned and couldn't control it for a moment, so he spoke out before Magistrate Zhao.

Zhixian Zhao glanced at Lieutenant Peng lightly.

Captain Peng Xian realized his gaffe, smiled apologetically, and sat back.
