"Oh? Is there such a thing?" The short, fat official who was not dealing with Mu Su looked contrived and let out a long sigh.
Feng Jianzhang said nothing.
The head of the Feng family stood aside with an expressionless expression.
There was an uproar outside the government office.
【Not so good...】
"Li Gui, that's not what you said in the prison yesterday."
Mu Su's eyes suddenly became sharp. This was a manifestation of his spiritual thoughts welling up, so he was also called "a pair of soul-catching and seductive eyes".
Li Gui did not dare to raise his head to look at him, and lowered his head and said quickly: "The villain suddenly realized his conscience. Mr. Feng has always done good deeds, and you cannot slander him just because you have a personal enmity with him."
The pudgy official glanced at Mu Su proudly, coughed slightly and said, "Master Feng and I are here today. If you have any grievances, why don't you complain? We will definitely make the decision for you."
Aashi felt that it would be too late if he didn't speak anymore. He stood up with a smile on his face and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, there is another witness. Why don't you take a look at his testimony first?"
The pudgy official didn't even look at him, and said sarcastically: "Why, your Fei County has the habit of handing out witnesses to the next witness before he has finished asking questions?"
Mu Su felt that he couldn't bear it any longer: "Why do you deserve a beating so much?"
"Who are you talking about?" The pudgy official's expression changed.
"I'll tell you who deserves a beating."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Asi hurriedly said, "Sir, Master Mu is talking about lowering the rank..."
Seeing Mu Su's unhappy look, the pudgy official suddenly stopped being angry and was in a good mood.
After all, he is a young boy and cannot stand being stimulated.
However, as long as there is a city, how can it offend the gentry and nobles?
After a while, the second witness was brought forward.
"What's the name of this witness?" the short, fat official asked.
"I'm here, Gu Ze." The doorman replied calmly.
"I'm asking you, you need to tell the truth. If you have something to hide, don't blame me for being rude!" The short and fat official shouted coldly: "Did the local magistrate use coercion and inducement to let you frame Mr. Feng's family?"
"What, sir, you want to judge the case for me?" Mu Su looked sideways.
The pudgy official said proudly: "Master Mu is suspected of colluding with the witness, so I hope to avoid suspicion."
Seeing that Mu Su remained silent, the pudgy official snorted coldly: "Gu Ze, why don't you tell the truth!"
Although he knelt down, the doorman straightened his back and replied: "My lord, I haven't."
The pudgy official nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, tell me what you know."
"The head of the Feng family, Feng Lesheng, was dissatisfied with Master Mu's tax revision, so he recalled the Feng family's disciples one after another to carry out assassinations. Because I was delayed on the road and failed to catch up, when I arrived, I only heard that all the people sent to assassinate him were dead."
Gu Ze said slowly. There was a burst of whispering outside the Yamen. It is one thing to hear Mu Su say it, but it is another thing to hear someone testify. From this point of view, the Feng family really did such a thing...
Mu Su was high-spirited and elated. He didn't even look at the gloomy-looking pudgy official.
"There are differences in the testimonies of the two witnesses, because I don't know who is lying." At this time, Feng Jianzhang made a simple comment.
"We'll find out if we try." The pudgy official flattered him at first, and then said, "Come here and give Gu Ze a sentence."
"My lord, you are so majestic." Mu Su stood behind the pudgy official with his arms folded and sneered.
The pudgy official was startled by Mu Su who suddenly appeared at the side. He turned around and yelled dissatisfied: "What are you doing!?"
Mu Su walked away from the pudgy official: "I have never heard of torture for witnesses."
"This witness actually dared to lie in court. Of course he will be interrogated with torture."
"Why are you so sure that Gu Ze is lying?"
The pudgy official shook his head: "He is different from the previous witness. Since there are variables, of course we should start with him."
Mu Su sneered and stood between the two witnesses: "I think it's better to come first, first served. The servants of the Feng family came first, so he will be tortured first."
The servant trembled when he heard this, and looked at the short and fat official pleadingly.
"I can't say for sure. If someone comes to take care of you, he will be tortured!"
The government officials on both sides remained motionless, and no one listened to the short, fat official.
Feeling that his face had been damaged, he turned red and said angrily: "You don't even listen to what Shangguan says, are you going to rebel?"
Mu Su responded tit-for-tat: "Don't forget that you are watching this case. How can an official who is watching have such power?"
"Don't overstep your authority." Feng Jianzhang said lightly at this time, as if to remind his colleagues.
"Your Majesty, please wake up." The short, fat official quickly saluted with his hands raised.
The tense atmosphere was about to ease, but Mu Su muttered in a low voice: "A person who looks like a potato stuck on a toothpick can be an official..."
"Say it again?" The short, fat official looked gloomy.
He was aware of his figure and appearance, and was usually most disgusted by anyone talking about it.
So Musu said it honestly and loudly.
There was a burst of laughter outside the Yamen. Mu Su's description was very apt. Even Feng Jianzhang also had a bit of a smile in his eyes.
The short, fat official became angry and said: "Bold, a small and unpopular magistrate dares to comment on Shangguan like this."
Mu Su looked down at him condescendingly: "So what if I say a few words? You should be lucky that my previous temper was different..."
The pudgy official was furious: "What? How dare you hit the imperial official?"
"The Feng family dares to assassinate the court official, so if I hit the court official, it's nothing, right?"
The short and fat official sneered: "I am sitting here, but you should do something."
At this moment, Mu Su suddenly looked like his conspiracy had succeeded.
After spending a long time, I finally got this thing into the trap.
He rolled up his sleeves and strode towards the pudgy official.
"You, what are you doing-ouch!"
With one punch, the short and fat official leaned back all the way with his chair. Mu Su stepped forward and punched the flesh with his fist.
The scene suddenly became chaotic. The cheers of the people were mixed with the shouts of the short and fat officials.
Oshi was debating whether to stop him, but when he saw Mu Su raising a wooden chair high up, he was so shocked that he rushed forward and hugged Mu Su's waist, shouting loudly: "Sir, please respect yourself! So many people are watching.
!”
The short, fat official's face was literally swollen into a pig's head, and he was lying on the ground screaming.
Mu Su was panting and threw down the wooden chair. He spread his hands to the people around him and returned to the hall: "Everyone heard it. He asked me to beat him. I have never heard such a mean request in my life."
The short and fat official climbed up with difficulty. The ground was clean and not stained with dust, but the ground was stained by nosebleeds.
He looked resentfully and yelled: "I must go to the magistrate to file a complaint against you!"
"What are you suing me for? 'I asked Lord Mu to hit me and he actually hit me. You made the decision for me, sir?'" Mu Su looked at him with a sneer. "Don't be embarrassed."
"Sir, you are so presumptuous." The head of the Feng family, who was originally the key to the case but now became a marginal one, chuckled softly: "I just don't know whether I will die first, or you, my lord..."
Mu Su was horrified: "Both of you have seen it. Feng Laogou didn't do enough to assassinate me yesterday, but today he dares to be so arrogant in front of two adults in court. It's simply intolerable! Someone, give me
The prisoner is served with a stick in his hand, a whip in his mouth, and a big board on his back!"
